Chapter 176

When Emperor Mingde received the news from the secret guards, he almost laughed himself crazy ! ! ! ! She finally got caught

! ! ! !

Haha ... ... That afternoon. After Taifu Wei and his family left, Madam Ning talked to Duke Ning about the marriage proposal for Ning Yuan today. I heard that everyone is optimistic about General Meng's eldest daughter. Duke Ning did not object. Such matters in the family have always been decided by Madam Ning. And since Nuo'er's system says that the eldest daughter of General Meng's family is good, then it is naturally very good. Although General Meng does have a bad temper, he is a first-class loyal minister of the Northern Zhao Kingdom. He is highly regarded by the emperor. General Meng's character and ability are also beyond reproach. If he can become a relative of General Meng, it will be of great benefit to Yuan'er in the future. Madam Ning is a man of action. Since she had set her eyes on the eldest daughter of General Meng, she thought it would be best to settle this matter quickly. The main reason was that Ning Yuan was indeed not young anymore. Moreover, he had not been in the capital for a long time. After the Spring Festival, he had to return to the border to guard. Old Lady Ning was thinking that if this matter could be settled, then Duke Ning would go and ask for mercy from Emperor Mingde. At least Nuo'er's marriage could be arranged first. Then we could see if we could stay in the capital for a longer time. During this period, maybe we could have another child. Otherwise, it would drag on year after year, and who knows how long it would take. So that afternoon, she went to find Mrs. Wu, the family of the Minister of War, to go to General Meng's mansion to sound out the situation. Mrs. Wu had a good relationship with Old Lady Ning when she was in the palace. Madam Ning was quite thoughtful in handling the matter. She thought that she should ask Madam Wu to inquire first, so as to avoid direct contact between the two parties. If things fail, some gossip will arise. It is not good for both parties. Especially for a girl, she might be gossiped about by others, which would affect her reputation. Madam Wu was very happy to make this trip for Madam Ning. In the afternoon, she delivered a visiting card to General Meng's mansion. When Madam Wu went there, General Meng happened to be there. Unexpectedly, after Madam Wu explained her purpose, General Meng actually refused. But they were all people of status. So General Meng did not mention the specific reason for the refusal. Mrs. Wu did not ask any more questions. So far, the matter was left unsolved. ... Time passed quickly. Three days later, it was the day of the palace banquet. This palace banquet is an annual tradition of the Northern Zhao Kingdom. Unless there is an emergency in war, it will be held every year. The purpose of the palace banquet is for the royal family to thank the ministers for their hard work over the past year. At the same time, they hope that they can continue to work hard in the coming year and continue to fight for a better tomorrow for the Northern Zhao Kingdom. To put it bluntly, it is similar to the company's group gathering in later generations. The palace banquet is scheduled on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month every year. According to the annual tradition, the palace banquet lasts from the middle of the Si hour to the middle of the Shen hour (that is, from ten o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon). At the beginning of the Si hour, the civil and military officials who were qualified to attend the palace banquet had already brought their families and entered the palace gate one after another. At this time, Taifu Wei had also entered the palace gate with Madam Wei and Wei Yinuo. Today, Wei Yinuo was in a very good mood. Because at the palace banquet, her parents could not control her. Moreover, the food at the palace banquet was one portion per person. They would not deny her food in front of the emperor and the ministers, right? Then, she could eat openly! The palace banquet was held in the Linde Hall. At this time, the palace banquet had not started yet, and Emperor Mingde had not arrived yet. So these civil and military officials walked around and greeted each other. Of course. Everyone's focus naturally fell on Lord Wei.

Today is a palace banquet.

Not only the civil and military officials who usually attend the court will attend.

Some ministers who are not qualified to attend the morning court will also be invited to attend.

There are also some generals who were originally stationed outside.

And officials who serve in other places.

Those with higher ranks are on the list of this palace banquet.

Of course, there are also concubines, princes and princesses in the harem, and the families of ministers.

In short, many people came to attend the palace banquet this

time. There will definitely be big melons to eat!

To be honest, they can't wait!

Especially those families.

On weekdays, I always hear these ministers talk about some melons they ate in the court after returning.

But I have never eaten it myself.

After all, this second-hand melon is not as delicious as the first-hand melon.

Therefore, ever since they heard about today's palace banquet,

the Queen also invited Lord Wei.

They were so excited!

There must be a surprise today!

But although they were excited, they did not dare to get too close.

They were afraid that they would accidentally become the big melon in Wei Yinuo's mouth.

So they all kept a perfect distance from Wei Yinuo.

This distance is not easy to be noticed by Lord Wei.

If there is a melon, he should be able to hear it.

So at this moment, everyone was chatting while paying some attention to Wei Yinuo.

Wei Yinuo listened to the conversations of these ministers and their families for a while.

They were all some meaningless greetings.

So he just started chatting with the system.

However, the system seemed very excited.

This kind of occasion is a good opportunity to eat melons.

As long as it is used well, it will definitely gain a lot of energy.

System: [Host, look, the one standing next to your mother is Princess Jing. ]

Wei Yinuo glanced in the direction of Madam Wei.

Then he couldn't help but sigh: [Wow, Princess Jing is really well maintained! ]

[It can be seen that Princess Jing must have been a great beauty when she was young. ]

[I guess Prince Jing and Princess Jing must have been an enviable pair of lovers back then! ]
