Jun Baozhu hasn't eaten melon for a long time since being kidnapped.
With so many people attending the tea party, how could I not wait for her?
The system immediately explains:
[The stage is set, but it hasn't started yet. The queen is indeed waiting for you. ]
[It's just because the Crown Prince has something to do, and Concubine Li hasn't recovered yet, and the Queen is worried about leaving you alone.]
Jun Baozhu's eyes lit up. No matter what the reason was, he just had to not miss the opportunity to eat the melon!
Sure enough, the queen walked over quickly, kissed Jun Baozhu on her sleepy face, tidied her swaddling clothes, and carried her out.
【Wow! 】
When we arrived at the square, the last time there were so many people was during the assessment of the Palace Front Department and the Imperial Guards.
Ever since Jun Baozhu appeared, the scene immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at her with excitement.
When the queen walked to the main seat, the system revealed to Jun Baozhu in her sea of consciousness:
[Because it is hard to refuse such a generous offer, seeing that these wives of officials and wealthy businessmen took the initiative to request it, the queue number was moved forward and the price was increased. ]
[The officials' wives and wives of wealthy businessmen who had originally planned to come tomorrow strongly requested that more tickets be added today, which brought in more money.]
[Before going to hug you, the Queen ordered the palace servants to settle the accounts, and received 50,000 gold in the afternoon. ]
The system informed me in my sea of consciousness that the purchasing power of 50,000 gold was equivalent to the purchasing power of 4 million in the world before I crossed over...
Jun Baozhu exclaimed again.
[Brother Prince doesn't have to wait until tomorrow to use the funds.]
The system replied affirmatively. Jun Baozhu's voice was not small and many people in the front row could hear it, but the purpose of holding the tea party was already stated by the Queen on the post.
So the queen did not avoid it.
When the little princess's voice was heard, everything around fell silent.
Although there is a clear purpose, the tea party hosted by the Queen will not be a makeshift one.
She took out her treasured tea, and Concubine Duan contributed the seaweed she grew, and ordered the palace servants to put the flowers in the vase in advance.
Concubine De contributed some snacks.
Xianfei provided pastries.
The queen sat in the main guard, with guards guarding on both sides and leading the way in front.
Concubine Duan, Concubine De and Concubine Xian sat on both sides.
Question marks popped up in Jun Baozhu's mind.
[Are the three ladies here to help the Queen Mother, or are they just here to watch the show? ]
After the system replied, Jun Baozhu was surprised:
[They took the initiative to find their mother and asked her to pay for tickets to watch the show? ]
[But, each of them contributed 5,000 gold, and Concubine Xian contributed an additional 20,000 gold? The family's wealth was almost emptied? ]
Jun Baozhu looked at Concubine Xian with great admiration.
He then looked at Concubine Duan and Concubine Xian, knowing that they were not from merchant families, and what they could take out was probably all their savings.
Upon hearing this, the Queen nodded gratefully to the three of them.
Jun Baozhu felt deeply:
[Although I am grateful for their generosity, I always feel that...]
【They are here to eat melons. 】
[Although, the money they paid was much higher than the ticket price. ]
The Queen, Concubine Duan and the others looked at each other and smiled.
The scene was arranged in a V-shape. Except for the main seats, the audience tickets were seated on both sides, in several rows, with a total of two to three hundred people sitting.
Those who paid the money to ask questions in advance sat opposite the main seat, obviously eager to try.
The tea was ready and the Queen herself gave the order to begin.
The lady who got the first place was a famous official's wife. Her family was wealthy and her dowry was generous, so she could afford such a high price.
After the lady explained her identity, the queen asked calmly:
"What's your problem?"
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask about my brother's whereabouts."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system revealed the news in Jun Baozhu's sea of consciousness, and Jun Baozhu responded in surprise.
[What? Everyone else only knows that her two families are wealthy in Suzhou and she is the only daughter in the family...]
[In fact, she has a younger brother, but he was kidnapped when he was young? ]
[This is just his family's speculation, because the child was lost at the Lantern Festival? At that time, the whole government was mobilized to search for him, and the government also sent people, but nothing was found? ]
[We even sent people to salvage the surrounding rivers and ponds for more than a month, but there is still no clue? ]
When the official's wife kneeling in front of him heard this, she was suddenly shocked and burst into tears.
[When her brother went missing, she was only a few years old. Her family never gave up the search. Even after she got married, she was still trying to find out about him, apart from her parents’ family? ]
[No wonder, knowing that the Queen Mother can let people ask questions, the power that the Queen Mother can mobilize must be greater than that of her family. ]
[She looks so pitiful, is there any news about her brother? ]
The scene was silent and everyone looked at the little princess.
Lian Xianfei put down the cup of water she was holding and concentrated on eating the melon.
The system is conducting a comprehensive search, and the crowd waiting for the answer is no more relaxed than the kneeling woman.
The queen ordered the guards to give her a seat. As soon as the woman introduced herself, the little princess told her about her family situation...
Unless they are close friends or old acquaintances from the woman’s family, most people may not know that she has a younger brother.
Although the little princess was famous, most of the wives of officials and wealthy businessmen present at the event had never seen her in person.
The little princess broke the news several times, all of which happened during the morning court sessions or palace examinations, and the ladies had no chance to attend.
Secondly, after several revelations, the team of court officials was completely cleaned up, and those officials who had heard about the little princess's situation were all sent to prison and punished.
Many of the wives of officials who attended the little princess's full-month banquet also disappeared from the group because their husbands were imprisoned.
The wives of officials present here are not the wives of newly promoted officials.
Third, many wives of wealthy businessmen present at the event did not have the opportunity to meet the little princess on a regular basis, and only knew the situation from hearsay. Although they were in awe, they still had some doubts in their hearts.
