Chapter 472 Princess
After Song Kuan was enthroned.
The matter of conferring rewards has come to an end.
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty encouraged him a few more times and then withdrew.
Song Jin stepped forward and supported Song Kuan, smiling and saying, "Dad, congratulations."
"Haha, congratulations."
Song Kuan smiled and responded.
Qin Chi also came up to congratulate him, "This is a great event, is my father-in-law going to hold a banquet to celebrate?"
Song Kuan smiled and shook his head, "No, if we want to do it, we have to wait until we get back to Huizhou." There was something in his heart that he didn't say, which was that he didn't know many people in the capital, so there was no point in holding a banquet.
Three people are talking.
There were many officials who secretly glanced at them.
At this moment, everyone finally believed that the woman in front of them was really Qin Qi'an's wife! Some people were eager to come over and congratulate her. However, due to etiquette, they couldn't come forward to disturb her. If they didn't do that, it would not be flattering, but annoying.
People in the Hall of Supreme Harmony began to whisper.
But strangely, he didn't leave first.
I was hesitating and didn't know what to do.
Wen Ge Lao said with a straightforward expression: "Prince An, I was offended just now. It was my fault for not thinking carefully."
After saying this, he bowed to Prince An and apologized.
Qin Chi glanced at him, gave him a false salute, and said nonchalantly, "No, no, Mr. Wen, you are worrying too much."
He then looked around at everyone and said, "You can move to the Fengtian Hall. I heard that a famous opera troupe has been invited to perform."
There were various performances at palace banquets. Acrobatics, opera troupes and singing and dancing by actors were standard. Later, there were also competitions in the six arts among the outstanding children carefully trained by each family. Every year, there were people who wanted to become famous through this.
The ones greeting people were Qin Chi and Song Kuan.
As a female member of the family, Song Jin only needs to serve as a gentle and generous foil.
When it’s almost time, follow Qin Chi out.
On the way, he met the palace maid sent by Li to pick up Song Jin.
The banquets for men and women were set up separately. Song Jin followed the palace maid to meet Li, while Qin Chi and Song Kuan went to the men's banquet.
We are almost at the palace banquet venue.
Song Jin stopped, took out a veil from her sleeve, and put it on, covering most of her face. She couldn't wear a veil when meeting the emperor, but it was not so strict when attending a banquet.
It reminds me of the so-called rumors.
In order to avoid trouble, Song Jin decided to cover it up, especially after having just experienced the questioning of Lord Wen.
The palace maid did not take Song Jin to a crowded place, but to a side hall.
When I saw Li again, there was a graceful old lady sitting next to her. She was much older than Li and seemed like an elder.
"Jin'er come here!"
Li smiled and reached out to pull Song Jin over, introducing the old woman next to her, "This is my aunt, hurry up and call someone."
"Aunt." Song Jin bowed politely.
At this time she knew who the old woman was, she was the eldest princess, the emperor's sister, and indeed the elder of the Li family.
The princess smiled kindly and asked, "Is this Qi'an's wife?"
"That's right." Li replied with a smile.
The princess took off a bracelet and put it on Song Jin's hand. Song Jin was about to decline, but the princess said, "It is a gift from an elder, so I cannot refuse it."
Li said, "Take it. This is a token of my aunt's love."
Song Jin looked down and was very surprised.
This is a jade bracelet with a double dragon playing with a pearl. The carving is exquisite and elegant. This pair of bracelets alone would be worth a fortune if put out there.
Song Jin bowed to the princess and said, "Thank you, aunt."
"Ha, we are all family, why are you being polite?" The eldest princess pretended to look at Song Jin, and finally spoke after a while, "Can you take off your veil for a while and let your aunt take a look? There are so many strange rumors about you outside, and they make me curious every time I hear them."
"I am being rude."
Song Jin took off her veil.
When the princess saw it, her eyes were stunned for a moment. After a few breaths, she said with emotion: "I didn't understand the purpose of you wearing a veil just now, but now I understand it after seeing it."
So, she raised her hand and motioned Song Jin to put on the veil, "You did a great job before."
This look is too much.
It is not a good thing to show off in front of others. There are many examples in history of beauties ruining a country. However, considering that Song Jin has been married to Qin Qi'an for many years and has given birth to three children, her reputation is still not well-known. She was even once rumored to be ugly. This shows that Song Jin usually pays attention to this.
When the princess thought of this, she felt very fond of Song Jin.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She pulled Song Jin to sit next to her and started asking questions like an elder. Song Jin answered one by one, and Li added a sentence or two from time to time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Grandma, you are here."
A cute girl's voice came from the door, "Min'er had a hard time looking for you. I thought you were outside listening to a play."
Song Jin looked in the direction of the voice.
A young girl walked in hurriedly.
The girl has a round face, a bright smile, and is full of energy, especially her big, lively eyes. She is not a very beautiful girl, but seeing her is like meeting the sunshine.
The girl came in, pounced on the eldest princess, grabbed her sleeve and started acting coquettishly.
Song Jin saw two noble ladies coming in through the door.
The two of them came with the round-faced girl, and as soon as they came in, they greeted the eldest princess and Li in a proper manner.
The round-faced girl is called Su Min, and her father is the Prince of Chu.
The two noble ladies who followed were the illegitimate daughter of Prince Chu and the girl from the Ningguo Duke's Mansion.
The princess then smiled and introduced Song Jin, "Min'er, this is your cousin Qi'an's wife. You haven't met her yet, come over and say hello."
Su Min's eyes widened. "Is this the cousin's wife?!"
Su Min was speechless for a moment, and immediately covered her mouth, but her eyes looked at Song Jin curiously. At such a close distance, she could vaguely see the extraordinary facial features under Song Jin's veil, coupled with a pair of eyes as bright as autumn water. Even without taking off the veil, it was not difficult to see that she was a beauty.
"Cousin Min'er, I'm fine."
Song Jin said with a smile on his face.
The girl in blue clothes next to her said, "Hello, cousin, I'm Su Yi, the fifth child in the family. I'm sixteen this year. You can call me Yi'er or Xiaowu."
"Hello, cousin Yier." Song Jin replied with a smile.
Su Yi nodded happily, "I've heard about my cousin's wife's deeds a long time ago, but I never had the chance to meet her. Today is good, I finally meet her."
Song Jin smiled as a response.
Su Min echoed, "Me too, me too. I've heard people talking about my cousin's wife for a long time, but when I met her in person, I realized that she was different from what people said."
"Don't believe the rumors." The quieter girl on the side said gently.
Song Jin looked at her, "Who is this?"
"My name is Ning Kexin. I'm the girl from the second branch of the Ningguo Mansion. Nice to meet you, Princess An." Ning Kexin introduced herself in a gentle voice.
Li seemed to recall: "The second wife of the Ningguo Mansion? Your mother is Ling Yingzhen?"
"Yes, my mother was born in the Lingding Marquis Mansion." Ning Kexin replied appropriately.
Li looked Ning Kexin around and said, "You are somewhat similar to your mother when she was young. Your mother and I studied together when we were young, but I haven't seen her for more than 20 years. I wonder how she is doing?"
