Chapter 51 051 A quick message can make a group of people run away...
The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, very handsome and well behaved, but the way he handled this matter was not very authentic.
In fact, he shouldn't have been here in the first place.
Because at this flower-viewing banquet, not only are all the guests female, but there are also many young girls who are not yet married. According to the traditional rule of "no one under seven years old should sit at the same table", he should avoid it.
However, not only did he not avoid him, he even continued to walk towards this side, so all the little girls hurriedly covered their faces with their sleeves or simply hid behind their female elders, for fear of being seen by him and breaking the rules.
Among them, only the two girls of the Zhen family, Ulanara, Feng Jieer, Yuanchun and Xianyu, did not move.
The first four have all received the "mistress of the house" type of elite education, and they emphasize "not showing any emotion on their face even when Mount Tai collapses in front of them."
Therefore, no matter if a strange teenager suddenly breaks in during dinner, or they encounter a fire or flood, they will face it calmly, strive to find the best solution, and minimize the losses. Only in this way can they manage the finances of a large family and perfectly handle the big and small matters of the family with hundreds of people.
It’s almost like the CEO of a large enterprise in modern society!
Regardless of what others say, the second daughter of the Zhen family, Ulanara and Feng Jieer definitely have this kind of momentum.
Although the third daughter of the Zhen family lacks in momentum, she is still young and it is very good that she can keep her composure. I think her future is limitless and promising.
As for Yuanchun, it may be that she simply did not react in time - so her good luck was once again demonstrated.
In the eyes of others, she is just like those girls who have the demeanor of a mistress of the house, a stable person.
But, let's just say, is there a possibility that she was just simply stunned?
Well, anyway, the result is the same.
There was no reason for Xianyu to overreact, but she was different from the others.
Because she simply doesn’t have this concept – “Men and women should not touch each other”?
Are you kidding?
But she comes from the modern society more than 300 years later, where everyone, regardless of gender, has been reading, studying, working and entertaining together since childhood, and there is no rule that prohibits casual contact.
So, sometimes it feels helpless to travel alone.
This obvious difference between ancient and modern times is enough to expose the secret that she is not an indigenous person.
Fortunately, she was not the only girl among all the girls present who had no reaction. No matter what their reasons were, it was good that they were not fighting alone in the end.
Today was also a day where I was lucky enough not to be exposed.
Although it doesn't matter even if it is exposed.
Xianyu silently complained in her heart while carefully observing the handsome boy.
If she guessed correctly, this person should be Shui Rong, the biological son of Princess Beijing, the biological brother of the little princess, and now the prince of Beijing's mansion.
I didn't expect that he was so handsome when he was so young. He was indeed worthy of being described as a character with top-notch beauty in the original novel. He was really good-looking.
So, considering that he is so good-looking, even if he acts rudely and rashly, it can be forgiven.
Besides, he just accidentally barged into the flower-viewing party of the ladies.
How could such a beautiful boy have any bad intentions?
It was just carelessness.
Even if he did it on purpose, it doesn't matter.
Xianyu said that if you find it pleasing to the eye, please feel free to do so.
However, Xianyu and the others' calmness did not save the situation. After all, when most of the little girls were frightened and hiding everywhere, everyone would instinctively blame the person who caused the commotion.
It would be the same even if he was the prince of Beijing.
Princess Beijing was the first to stand up to maintain order, and she used the most common "accusatory questioning" style of questioning:
"What's wrong with you, prince? You are so flustered. How can you be so unbecoming? Don't you know that we are hosting a banquet for distinguished guests here?"
As soon as he heard this, Shui Rong immediately bowed and said politely: "Mother, your instructions are very correct. I was not thoughtful enough in this matter. I just acted out of urgency. I hope you can forgive me."
As he spoke, he turned sideways as if to avoid the question, and then reported his "urgent matter".
It turned out that the Empress Dowager heard that the Prince of Beijing's Mansion was holding a flower-viewing banquet, and suddenly became interested and wanted to bring the Fifth Princess to have some fun.
She originally just wanted to take the Fifth Princess with her, but Concubine De insisted that she had nothing to do and also wanted to come along.
Concubine Yi also received the news and wanted to come as well.
And Lady Guo also wanted to be with her sister...
So the harem flower-viewing team immediately gathered more than a dozen people, and after the scene became big, it soon reached the ears of Master Kang.
When Master Kang heard this, he was like, what? The Empress Dowager, his wife, and his daughters are going out to have fun? Then he must also join in the fun.
So he changed into casual clothes and followed the female relatives out of the palace. He even picked up two or three princes he met along the way. Finally, the team consisted of about 20 people. Together with the palace maids, eunuchs and guards who served him, there were dozens of people in total, and they headed to Prince Beijing's Palace.
The most amazing thing was that, because the Empress Dowager was in a very good mood today, and it was a spur-of-the-moment idea in the first place, she specifically instructed that she did not want to cause trouble for Prince Beijing's Palace, and must not mobilize a large number of people or make a big fuss, and just make it an ordinary exchange and gathering among the female members of the family.
Master Kong naturally agreed wholeheartedly - so, when people reach a certain age, they have a sense of "rejuvenation". These two people, who are over 100 years old in total, have suddenly become childish and are so willful that they have to go on an "incognito visit".
The original intention was good, but it put the people under him in a very difficult position.
Liang Jiugong was worried about the safety of Master Kang and the Empress Dowager and her large group of female concubines. He was also afraid that Prince Beijing's Mansion was not well prepared and something unpleasant would happen when they welcomed the emperor. Although this possibility was not high, as an excellent eunuch chief of the Imperial Household Department, he still had to think a few more steps and plan ahead to ensure that these masters had a good time.
However, although he had a good plan, it was not so smooth when he tried to find someone at the last minute.
Today was originally a holiday, and Prince Beijing left the capital early this morning to meet a friend in the suburbs of Beijing. He could not contact him for a while, so he had no choice but to send his godsons and trusted guards to search everywhere, and finally arrested Shui Rong, the prince of Beijing, who was visiting a friend in the Imperial College...
Well, we really have to try our best. Let's catch someone from Prince Beijing's mansion and pass the news back to him and that's it.
If Master Kang and the Empress Dowager ask, just say it was an "accidental encounter" and the plan will work.
Liang Jiugong was very satisfied with his arrangement. He never thought that Shui Rong, the still very young prince of Beijing, had never experienced much, so he did not know how to handle this matter properly.
In fact, as soon as he heard the news, he panicked, which led to the scene at the beginning. He ran back home in a panic and went straight to the flower-viewing banquet to report this major event to his mother, Princess Beijing.
When Princess Beijing heard about this, she realized why her son was behaving so abnormally.
It turns out that someone is coming from the palace.
And not only the Empress Dowager, Concubine De, Concubine Yi, the Fifth Princess and several noble ladies and other female members of the harem are coming, but even the Emperor and the princes are coming?
This is really...
Princess Beijing felt overwhelmed and wondered what was going on.
What she was afraid of was not the reception.
After all, she has been the Princess of Beijing for more than ten years. It's not that she has never received an emperor before, but this is the first time she has received an emperor in such an informal occasion.
Moreover, from what Shui Rong from their family had said, it seemed that the nobles in the palace were actually coming here on a "secret visit" this time?
Do you want to experience the feeling of a "commoner" family gathering?
Okay, as long as you are happy.
Princess Beijing looked at her son running with sweat all over his forehead. She felt speechless that her son was still so honest at such an age and could not see through the minds of those in power. At the same time, she could not help but feel deeply distressed.
The son is your own, but the Emperor and the noble ladies in the harem belong to the whole world. It is better to love your son well.
As for these nobles, since you want to "adapt to local customs" and "be approachable", then I, the princess, will oblige you.
So Princess Beijing is Princess Beijing, and she is worthy of being the most noble female member outside the harem.
She made a prompt decision and arranged for Prince Beijing to hold two identical flower-viewing banquets next to the flower-viewing banquet and one next to it.
Since among the guests coming are the Emperor and princes, there must be a separate area for men, and it must be separated from the women's area. It also has to fit in with the theme of flower viewing, so the phrase "looking at each other across the flowers" would not be very appropriate.
Anyway, this vast sea of chrysanthemums occupies a large area, and one can only barely see a person’s figure across the sea of flowers, so it can be considered as “avoiding”.
Among the people coming were the Empress Dowager, Concubine De, Concubine Yi, the Fifth Princess and other female members of the palace who held high positions. So they had to prepare a new row of tables in the female guest area, otherwise they couldn't let them eat the leftovers of the ministers' families, right?
That would be very rude.
Princess Beijing had already issued several instructions while her mind was turning. In an instant, she arranged the matter in an orderly manner. Not only did she instantly calm Shui Rong's emotions, allowing him to regain his image of a calm and composed elegant gentleman, but she also left Xian Yu stunned and amazed.
[Emma, you are worthy of being the Princess of Beijing. Your ability is extraordinary. I just wonder if the second daughter of the Zhen family can do as well as her when she gets this position in the future...]
Xianyu was so busy complaining in her heart that she didn't notice that Princess Beijing and the second daughter of the Zhen family were shuddering all over and looking at her with shock and fear in their eyes.
However, no matter how shocked or terrified they were, they could not move at all, as if they were under a "frozen spell".
Feng Jieer was also unable to move, as if she had been cast under a "fixation spell".
But she was obviously used to this situation, and even had time to observe other people's reactions with the only part of her eye that could move.
Well, their sister Xian is really awesome again today.
From the looks of it, it seems that he is expressing his feelings directly to Princess Beijing and the second young lady of the Zhen family?
Alas, although I have long been accustomed to my sister's willful and extroverted behavior, is it really okay to complain about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and have them hear it?
Oh, yes, they are not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law yet.
The second daughter of the Zhen family is still a serious candidate for selection. Is it really a good idea to announce the results of next year's talent show directly to her?
Whatever, destroy it.
But to be honest, the Prince of Beijing is really good-looking... Last time, Sister Xian seemed to have said that her fiancé Jia Lian was also very handsome. The word she used seemed to be that their looks were "equally matched". I don't know if it's true or not.
Ouch, it’s so annoying.
The old lady in their family has said that this marriage is not valid, so what else can they do with him? What can he do just because he looks like Pan An? Just ignore her and let it go.
Before she could finish her thought, someone outside came in to announce that distinguished guests from the palace had arrived.
