Chapter 116: The first gossip at the palace banquet is still Prince Zhu
Su Qianqian blinked: [It’s exposed again. 】
[Don't you think about it? She not only likes men, but also women. She is an expert in both androgynous and yin-yang, and she will not be able to recognize your little disguise. 】The system criticizes ruthlessly.
【roll! 】Su Qianqian scolded angrily.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam." Su Qianqian brushed her sleeves and smiled, "I'm not afraid of you knowing, but I've always enjoyed polishing mirrors, and I've always admired someone, the gorgeous Madam Shaohua, but I haven't had anyone familiar with her introduce me to her."
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she smiled and put the membership card into her sleeve.
"Young Master, do you want my master to introduce you? My master and Madam Shaohua are close friends. I'm sure everyone in Xijing City knows about them. It's no surprise that you found your way here."
Mrs. Sun was straightforward and took the initiative to bring it up, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if it's convenient for you, Madam?" Su Qianqian looked shy.
"I will accept this on behalf of my master. Men don't understand the suffering of women, but as a woman, I can't help but cherish her. It would be good to meet her once and fulfill her wish."
Mrs. Sun is very considerate.
"But please ask Madam to conceal my identity. It will be convenient for Lord Sun as well." Su Qianqian instructed again.
"I naturally know that." Madam Sun nodded understandingly.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Su Qianqian did not stay any longer and asked Madam Sun to send a letter to Anmin Teahouse if she had any news and give it to Master Su Qian.
It was common to leave letters in teahouses, and Mrs. Sun didn't think much of it.
After leaving the house and getting on the carriage to go back home, Qin Yuzhuo's face was still as red as a tomato...
…
After dinner at Fushou Hall, Madam Qin said solemnly to the younger generations:
"A thousand-person palace banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. All the royal family members and concubines will be present. There will also be envoys from Daliang to pay their respects. There will definitely be a mix of good and bad people. Our mansion is now being watched with envy. Those who attend the banquet must be careful with their words and actions."
Everyone agreed.
On the second day, the women of the Qin family prepared robes and jewelry to wear to the palace for the banquet.
This time, because Qin Hanzhang returned victoriously to the Wuning Marquis' Mansion, everyone was on the guest list, even the nine-year-old little lady Qin You. Of course, the third master could not go because of "illness".
Su Qianqian has also customized a lot of clothes recently. There are already weavers and embroiderers in the mansion.
However, she also ordered two robes and cloaks and several sets of riding clothes from Madam Xu in Xiayifang. Whether to ride a horse or not is another matter, but she had to prepare the clothes.
These few times, Su Qianqian is not like before, and is becoming more and more interested in Madam Xu's affairs...
At noon on August 28, the marquis's carriage was already waiting at the second gate. One sedan after another took the women and children from the backyard to the second gate. The men were waiting beside the carriages, helping the women get on.
Su Qianqian still had the standard snake bun and wore jewelry she won from Princess Zhaoyang. Her main purpose was to show off, but of course she also had her own little thought in mind: crying poor.
The carriage stopped at Xixuan Gate and changed into a sedan chair, which took them all the way to Yihe Gate. After entering Yihe Gate, it was Qing'an Hall, where the harem hosted guests. In front of Qing'an Hall was the Imperial Garden. Those who could attend the banquet in the palace could also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden, which was rarely seen on weekdays.
The palace maid led the people from the marquis's mansion to their seats. At this time, some court officials were already there, and more people came one after another, so it was neither early nor late.
The hall of Qing'an Palace is extremely spacious. Su Qianqian estimated that it is at least three thousand square meters.
The seats were arranged according to rank. Due to its special nature, the Wuning Marquis' Mansion was arranged higher than its actual rank. It was actually in front of several Duke's Mansions, and below Prince Mu.
It was almost time, and the families of the courtiers who were attending the banquet had all arrived. Su Qianqian winked and smiled at Su Xinxin who was sitting below her, but her eyes were quickly attracted by the people around Su Xinxin. What did she see?
[Hahaha, Prince Zhu actually dared to come out, and he was wearing a wig. He tried his best to dispel the rumor that he was already dead!
He finally stopped shedding his skin and let the servant peel his skin day and night. The servant's eyes were almost blinded by the sight. After he finally peeled off most of the dead skin, he endured the pain and rubbed it with a wet cloth. Ouch, the skin that was rubbed off was... about! 】
The system almost vomited after eating so much watermelon.
[Hahaha, I wasn't struck to death by lightning, but at least I got a layer of skin peeled off! 】
Prince Zhu, who was standing next to him, had a look of fear in his eyes. He didn't understand why that horrible voice appeared again. He didn't dare to look in Su Qianqian's direction. He just prayed that he was the only one who could hear these words.
[Prince Zhu was quite clever. He asked a weaving expert to weave a hood for him, and shaved off the servant's beautiful hair, which he was very proud of, and woven it into the hood. Now the servant cries every day and dares not go out to see anyone. Hahahaha...]
[The young man must be regretting that he didn't get skinned and went blind. He had to watch himself become bald. It was so pitiful. Do you still have any sympathy? puff……】
After Su Qianqian blamed the system, she couldn't help but laugh unkindly.
[This headgear is glued to the scalp, and it is quite realistic. However, there is one downside. The stubble of Zhu Shizi's hair pricks his scalp and it is very itchy. It takes a tough guy to endure it!
But this thing is glued on after all. Do you think if you grab the crown and pull it, will the newly grown hair be pulled out? 】
After the system finished speaking, the panic in Zhu Shizi's eyes became even more intense!
[What you are talking about is torture, how unfair!] 】
Su Qianqian strongly disagreed with the system's imagination.
Su Xinxin tried hard not to laugh. Over there, Taifu Su and Su Runhe, father and son from the Taifu Mansion, had stern faces and bit their cheeks as if they were about to be hurt.
Qin Hanzhang was no longer surprised by what Su Qianqian and the system said, but he couldn't help but pretend to observe Zhu Min casually, just like the Qin family.
[I don’t know if Prince Zhu needs to be glued to other parts of his body...] The system’s voice sounded cunning.
"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived!" The eunuchs' shouting interrupted the system's association. Everyone in the seats stood up to welcome them. Emperor Gan De and the Empress came in from outside the hall, followed by the Crown Prince, and then the princesses and concubines.
Although Su Qianqian bowed her head, her thoughts were not so honest:
[Wow, this big family cannot be supported without earning some money. Being an emperor is such a hard job. You have to get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs. You have to share the rain and dew equally. The key is that these flowers and plants are too lush...]
Emperor: Are you worrying too much?
The Emperor and Empress took their seats and waved their hands to indicate that they did not need to formally attend to the formalities. The Crown Prince and his entire family also sat down. Only then did the court officials and female relatives dare to sit back down again.
"Today, the Liang Kingdom is here to congratulate us, and all the officials are celebrating together. This is a great honor for our Great Qi. My dear ministers, please do not be too formal, and show off your style in front of the Liang Kingdom's envoys."
Emperor Gan De looked good today, his voice was clear, the yellowish color on his face had dissipated, and he looked full of energy.
The queen beside him had a smile on her face. She glanced at Su Qianqian and nodded slightly in greeting. It was just such a subtle movement that made those ladies who were used to observing people's words and expressions secretly feel lucky that they had made the right bet.
"The envoys from Daliang are coming to the palace to pay their respects!"
The eunuch's voice sounded, the palace door opened wide, and everyone looked over.
