"Qi Lang, Qidi, this prince and this Qi Ge are particularly predestined. In a few months, Qidi and Miss Zhao will get married. When the time comes, Uncle Fu and Qi Lang must come to our house for a drink."
"Your Highness, you are too polite. I will definitely be there to congratulate you."
Shang Qillang hasn't got a confirmed job yet, so it's not convenient for him to pledge his loyalty. Hearing this, the Fourth Prince patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
"Qi Lang is so capable, he will definitely have a bright future."
After hearing this, Shang Qillang felt conflicted, but he had to give in for the sake of his future.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Fourth Prince."
The Fourth Prince then started talking about other things with Prince Fu, and this scene naturally fell into the eyes of Wei Mingxian who also came to the banquet today.
My nephew is so close to the Fourth Prince. Could it be that he got instructions from my sister? But didn't my father say that the Wei family would not get involved?
All of a sudden, he had some ominous thoughts in his mind, but what he didn't know was that at the female banquet that he couldn't see, his daughter's mind was very much on the concubines in the Fourth Prince's mansion.
Today's banquet is held at the Fourth Prince's residence, so naturally everyone in the residence has to come out.
The Fourth Royal Consort was still as sweet-talking as when they first met. When she saw Princess Yuehua, Princess Fu and Wei Jialian, she came over and greeted them with a smile.
"Aunt Yuehua and Aunt Princess are here."
Wei Jialian was younger and of lower status than the Fourth Prince's wife, so naturally she had to perform the ceremony, and so she spoke respectfully.
"Jia Lian has met the Fourth Prince's wife."
"You're too polite, Miss Wei."
When she looked at Miss Wei today, she was less surprised than the day they first met.
Although Wei Jialian was beautiful, she was not so beautiful that people would be shocked. Moreover, the Fourth Prince's wife had a mother-in-law like the Imperial Concubine, who had imprinted all the most beautiful women in the Daxing Dynasty in her mind. Therefore, she was not so amazed by these pretty faces.
Instead, the two concubines following behind the Fourth Prince's wife looked at Wei Jialian with some inquiry.
"I don't know how to address these two sisters. Please advise me, Princess Fourth Prince."
"Look at me, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to introduce you. This one is Concubine Ying, the daughter of the governor of Binzhou, and this one is Concubine Liu, the daughter of the deputy lieutenant of Jingjisi. They followed me out today to greet everyone."
"Jia Lian has met Concubine Ying and Concubine Liu."
These two concubines were not domineering people, so they returned the simple greetings and didn't say anything more.
Princess Fu had not had much dealings with the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the past, so she knew that there were concubines in the mansion, but she had never seen one. Unlike Princess Yuehua, she knew all the wives and concubines in her nephews' mansions like the back of her hand.
So, Princess Yuehua spoke to Concubine Ying.
"Your mother is worried about you every day. When I was still in Yizhou, I often received Binzhou cakes from her."
Yizhou and Binzhou are adjacent to each other, so the relationship between the governors of the two places is also good.
Once at a banquet, the wife of the governor of Binzhou had a very pleasant conversation with Princess Yuehua, so from then on, she always looked for opportunities to make friends with Princess Yuehua.
As time went by, they became more familiar with each other. Even her daughter's admission into the Fourth Prince's Palace was facilitated by Princess Yuehua, so naturally she was more intimate with him than with others.
"As long as the princess likes it, mother often mentions the princess's care and support for our Ying family in her letters to me. I would like to thank the princess here."
"It's just some small things, not worth mentioning. As long as you live in harmony with Xiao Si and his wife, it will be the best."
Hearing this, the Fourth Prince's wife immediately spoke up.
"The person sent by my aunt is the one who knows the rules best. Not to mention the Fourth Prince, even I like him very much."
As he said this, he pulled Concubine Ying to his side. The look on his face made people unable to help but say that the inner house was peaceful.
The Crown Princess was not present today, so the most honorable person present was Princess Yuehua, and as a result she was never short of compliments from the ladies.
Princess Fu and Princess Yuehua have a good relationship, and everyone in Sui'an City knows this.
Moreover, ever since she was "slapped in the face" by the Guo family and the General's Mansion last time, Princess Yuehua's heart has leaned towards Princess Fu and the Wei family.
Therefore, he was also happy to help Wei Jialian introduce some ladies and young ladies in the circle.
Seeing this, the two concubines lost some of their thoughts, but on second thought, the quota of concubines in the Fourth Prince's mansion had already been filled, and how could the legitimate daughter of the Wei family be allowed to enter the mansion as a concubine?
Therefore, she restrained some of her inquiring thoughts. Instead, Concubine Liu took advantage of the fact that her father was also from the Jingji Division, and thus became friends with Wei Jialian.
"Sister Wei, I remember your father was the deputy commander of the Jingji Division, and he was very powerful."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Concubine Liu is too polite. My father is just a little famous man, so he is not worthy of being called powerful."
Wei Jialian wanted to meet all the presentable wives and concubines in the Fourth Prince's mansion today, so since Concubine Liu came to her, she would naturally not be polite.
Her father was still working under her father, and she could become the Fourth Prince's concubine. If she couldn't become the Fourth Prince's concubine, wouldn't she be laughed at?
So the more I think about it, the more I tell myself not to be too impatient.
Anyway, her age was there, and how could a young woman like her be inferior to the Fourth Prince's wife? So she came up with an idea and deliberately made friends with the two concubines.
Although she didn't say much, whenever she spoke, she made them feel very comfortable, so their impression of this young lady from the Wei family improved a lot.
Compared to Wei Jialian who thrives in the backyard, Wei Jiaheng has fewer opportunities to stand out because he is suppressed by his father Wei Mingxian.
Although the Wei family is not favored by the crown prince, they can see the current situation clearly. Being too deliberate in getting close to the fourth prince may not necessarily be a good thing.
After all, they are not the kind of people who want to stand out, so there is really no need for them to take this risky move.
Wei Jiaheng looked at Shang Qillang and the Fourth Prince and others chatting and laughing not far away, and he felt itchy. Although he was not good at the imperial examination, his family background was there, so he should have a share in it.
So I started to think about it.
So he took advantage of Wei Mingxian's time to go to the toilet and ran to Shang Qilang. He was Shang Qilang's cousin, so it was not strange for him to join in with this identity.
The Fourth Prince was worried about where to attack the Wei family, so when he saw Wei Jiaheng suddenly appear, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"The eldest grandson of the Wei family, Jiaheng, has met the fourth prince."
He started by reporting his family assets without being polite at all.
