Chapter 504 Spring Banquet

"Get married?"

Yan Qingqing shook her head like a wave drum: "I won't get married. Didn't you see that sister Zhang next door got married? Every time she came home, she would cry to her mother, saying that her mother-in-law was mean or her sister-in-law was annoying. I don't want to suffer this."

She grew up in the general's mansion and was pampered. Which man is worth her giving up such a beautiful life to suffer that hardship?

She would kill him now, so that she would not be blinded by love in the future.

"Hmm..."

Hong Guo thought, in order to follow his daughter to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future, he racked his brains to search for families in the capital that meet the conditions.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she widened her eyes and said, "Didn't the third prince come out? We saw him at Concubine Chunyi's funeral. You were stunned by him, young lady. Um... "

Yan Qingqing jumped up and covered her mouth, "Why do you say everything you can and can't say?"

Hong Guo pulled her hand away, "After the Crown Prince is engaged, all the princes will be crowned kings. When the Crown Prince gets married, all the princes will take office in their fiefdoms. Think about it, young lady! The third prince's mother and maternal family are gone, and his only sister married in Yun... Yang, when the time comes, you will marry the Third Prince, and he will take you to the fiefdom. As long as you can control the Third Prince's heart, you will have the final say in everything, even if the emperor is far away. "

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and smiled obscenely, "What you said seems to make sense!"

Spring is coming-

all the boys and girls in the city will go out for an outing. Groups of friends will meet to release paper finches, appreciate spring flowers, recite poems, go outing and fishing...

Common people go to the famous mountains with beautiful scenery, while noble ladies and children of aristocratic families like Yan Qingqing go to the royal gardens.

Not only is the scenery the best, but the servants are all palace maids and eunuchs from the palace, and they will be guaranteed to serve people comfortably.

Especially in the royal gardens, you can hunt, enjoy singing and dancing, and there are various programs organized by the Imperial Household Department, which makes this spring day interesting.

A row of carriages set out from the capital, and when they reached Niutou Mountain in the suburbs, the women in the carriages all got off the horses.

The nine great families in the capital, led by the Jiang family, the Yan family, the Jing family, the Jiang family, the Yu family, the Shi family, the Zheng family, the Li family, and the Wei family of the Ruyang Prince's Palace, all had daughters participating in the spring banquet.

Jiang Yankun has been appointed as the chief assistant of the inner cabinet. Although his eldest son is mediocre in ability, he is obedient and honest. Now he is also the head of Shuntian Prefecture, in charge of the promotion and demotion assessment of civil servants throughout the country.

The youngest son is the younger brother of the Queen Mother of Heaven. He is now 25 years old. Although he is well-known for his talent and won the first place in the imperial examination at the age of 19 and became an editor in the Imperial Academy, it is rare for him to be unmarried at this age .

Many people privately spread the rumor that he is a homosexual, but they dare not say it in front of him and the Jiang family.

Jiang Junze has heard some rumors, but he doesn't care at all.

A real man has nothing to worry about...

"Pa!"

Jiang Xinyan was so angry when she saw her brother who was not a good example. She walked over and slapped him.

"Second sister!"

Jiang Junze covered his face with dissatisfaction and looked at her with accusing eyes.

Since his second sister married into the general's mansion, she has been spoiled by the rough man in that family.

This is used to "being overbearing and having one's word" in the general's mansion, and his temper is getting worse.

Where is the gentleness and kindness of the past?

Yan Qingqing passed by Jiang Junze and called out embarrassedly: "Uncle..." How

embarrassed, she was slapped by her mother again!

Jiang Junze saw Yan Qingqing, and his aggrieved expression became happy again: "Qingqing, let's go! Uncle will take you to find your cousin, the crown prince."

Almost everyone recognized that Yan Qingqing was the designated crown princess.

Her mother is the younger sister of the Queen Mother, her father is the commander of the three armies of Dayan, her grandfather is the general of the cavalry, her grandmother is the legitimate daughter of an old family, and her younger brother is the closed disciple of Master Xie Chenghui.

Her grandfather is also the grandfather of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they have a deep affection for each other.

The Emperor and the Queen Mother also intend to arrange a marriage for them.

And these women from noble families who come to compete for the beauty are all here to choose the prince's wife.

Although the third prince has lost the support of his natal family, he is deeply loved by the Emperor and the Queen Mother. He has a gentle personality, is mature and stable, and his future fiefdom will definitely be good. The

fourth prince has a poor family background, but the prince adopted by the Queen Mother is not as good as the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince, but he is definitely better than the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince...well...no one wants to marry him. When he shows his dead fish face, it feels like the air is about to be frozen.

As for the crown prince...

his crown princess has already been chosen, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the emperor in the future, so it is not impossible to win a crown princess or concubine.

The Seventh Prince is only fourteen years old, and it is too early for him to get married, but it is good to show her face in front of him first, so that he will remember her.

So when Yan Qingqing arrived at the hunting ground, the outside was already surrounded by people cheering for the princes.

The little girls were dressed up, and they were unwilling to give in to each other for the princes they loved.

The princes were not to be outdone, and they all knew that today was the Spring Banquet specially held by the Queen Mother for them, so they all wore their most beautiful and luxurious clothes and showed off their heroic figures on horseback.

Jiang Xinyue sat on the high platform and felt as if she had come to a large blind date.

Concubine Shu couldn't help but smile: "It's great to be young!"

She entered the palace three years later than Concubine De and Concubine Liang, but she is 40 years old this year. The other concubines took good care of themselves and looked to be in their early 30s, but she looked to be in her 50s.

When she was young, she always held a grudge. She hated the late emperor and empress for framing her, and Concubine Li Gui for not saving her.

She hated them for causing her beauty to be worn away in the cold palace.

But as time flies, these are no longer important.

Beauty is fleeting, and only happiness from the heart is what people should pursue in their lives.

She turned her head and looked at Jiang Xinyue.

The 30-year-old Queen of Heaven is more beautiful than the 20-year-old Queen of Heaven.

The sedimentation of years made her look full of wisdom and calmness. The brightness between her eyebrows turned into indifference. In her calmness, she carried an aura of majesty without anger, which made people dare not easily meet her eyes.

If there were still concubines entering the palace now, how could they dare to provoke her?

A glance could scare those little girls.

This is because she has been in power for a long time, and naturally she has a majestic aura.

In the hunting ground, someone reminded with a smile: "Yan Qingqing is here."

The girls who just cheered for the prince all looked at Yan Qingqing's expression nervously.

After all, if you covet the prince in front of the crown princess, you are still afraid that Yan Qingqing will retaliate afterwards.

She has the Queen Mother as a big backer to protect her, so no one dares to compete with her.
