Chapter 105 The Eastern Palace Hosts a Banquet
The next day before Mao time, Ye Lingwu got up early and dressed carefully, wearing a light silver-purple jacket, her thick hair was scattered, she took a few strands and put them on the top of her head with green hairpins to fix them, and combed all the broken hair on her temples , as instructed by Mother Xuan to be generous and decent.

After going to the main room, I saw that Jiang Lanshu was also wearing a new dress today, with light blue magnolia flowers all over the place and a silk skirt, with a slim waist and elegant elegance.Ye Lingwu looked much prettier than when she first met a few months ago. She couldn't tell what had changed, but it was.

Old Mrs. Shen sat in the hall and gave a few words to the two girls, "obey the rules, listen more and talk less", and then led Ye Lingwu and Jiang Lanshu out of the house.

The Marquis of Ningbei prepared three large, boxy carriages, each of which was large enough for six people to ride without being crowded. After the hour passed, the carriages drove towards the palace.

In the first carriage were Qin Mingyu and Shen Zhan, in the second carriage were the second-bedroom couple and their three children, and in the third carriage were the old lady Shen, Ye Lingwu, and Jiang Lanshu.

After swaying in the carriage hung with thick cotton curtains for half an hour, they arrived at the gate of the palace city.

Ye Lingwu lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and immediately choked her breath with excitement——I saw the magnificent double-story gate towering on both sides of the palace gate, like the feet of ancient giants stepping on the ground, from The people who walked by were as insignificant as ants.

Except for Ningbeihou's Mansion, the other families who were invited to the banquet parked their carriages outside the Xuanwu Gate and walked in for more than half an hour, but there was a big difference between Xungui and Xungui. With His Majesty's grace, the carriage can arrive directly after entering the palace.

After Shen Zhan entered the Xuanwu Gate, he parted ways with the crowd and went straight to the left to meet His Majesty in Xuande Hall.

Entering the gate of Yongfu Palace, there is a long palace corridor with numerous palaces and dizzying sights. The carriage passed through more than a dozen tall and majestic palaces with flying phoenix corners, before slowly arriving at the East Palace.

The plaque hanging on the gate of the East Palace is red gold, and there are two rows of palace maids standing under the plaque. The palace maid at the head saw the carriage of Ningbei Hou's mansion slowly approaching, and quickly ordered people to go in and pass the news.

And the maid at the gate was not idle, she led the whole family of Ningbeihou Mansion to the Suiyun Hall, stepped through the front hall, and felt suddenly bright, tall and peaceful, with carved corridors and painted buildings everywhere, really grand and rich, and then It is that the doors, windows, porch and pillars are painted with gold and color.

It didn't take long for the group of people to arrive at the brightly lit Luiyun Palace. As the hospitality place of the Eastern Palace, the pavilions and pavilions all have an astonishing sense of magnificence, grandeur and majesty.

The Suiyun hall is large, with male seats in the middle hall, women's seats in the left hall, and girls' seats in the right hall.

Gong'e shuttled between the banquets, arranging the seats. There were already many gorgeously dressed royal granddaughters sitting in the seats, but His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess and the main figures had not yet arrived.

The girls of the Shen family were led by Gong'e to the girls' banquet, Ye Lingwu looked up, there were already many familiar girls sitting on the banquet, and the whole girls' banquet was full of jewels.

Ranked in order of rank, princes and nobles, daughters of several important officials, Liu Feiyan, the little princess of Shunchang Palace, the second daughter of Li Shangshu's family, and Lou Zhaorao, daughter of Taifu Lou. The girl from Chai and Nobile is in her early twenties, and she is dressed in an astonishingly expensive outfit.

After hearing Gong'e's introduction in a low voice, I found out that the second princess on the left is His Majesty's second princess, and the fourth princess on the right. These two princesses have long had princess mansions outside the city, and they don't often enter the palace. Getting in and out of the palace is a little easier than other princes.

Today's banquet is different from the previous ones. The salute must be done according to Zhou Zheng's palace etiquette. When I came here, Mother Xuan had taught me that even if Ye Lingwu couldn't remember it, I just saluted with Shen Pan'er, Shen Yue'er, and Jiang Lanshu. After all, nothing would go wrong. .

Ye Lingwu and Jiang Lanshu's seats were arranged at the last table on the left, next to Lou Zhaorao, while the two girls from the Shen family were arranged under the first table, orderly, and more impressive than previous banquets restrained.

Fortunately, the second and fourth princesses were there, and Lou Zhaorao and Liu Feiyan knelt down on the mat in an orderly manner, chatting and laughing in low voices from time to time, not as recalcitrant as before.

At this moment, Gong'e's announcement came from outside the door.

——"The princess is here."

A noble lady came slowly at the door, wearing a deep red silk-stitched double nest cloud geese dress, and a deep blue embroidered cloak on the outside, with one hand supporting her belly, her steps were very slow, and the corners of her skirt She didn't move at all, and walked step by step, although light but very heavy, her chin was lifted slightly, graceful and majestic.

Except for the two and four princesses who bowed their heads, the rest of the girls all raised their arms and said, "Welcome to the princess."

"Excuse me, the girls in the banquet are all my sisters, so don't be restrained." The crown princess greeted a few words with a smile before leaving the girls' banquet.

Everyone saluted and sent them off again. Before Ye Lingwu could take back her raised arms, she heard the maid outside the door say again: "Princess Six is ​​here~"

The sixth princess is the daughter of Shen Meiren, she is a little younger, she looks around sixteen, her facial features are pleasing, she is round and cute, she has a lot of gold, silver, pearls and emeralds from head to toe, and she walks jingling.

As soon as she appeared, Liu Feiyan at the banquet had a bad face.

It is not a secret that the sixth princess is obsessed with Lord Shen Xiaohou. Ever since she learned that Liu Feiyan was favored by the eldest princess Jiayi last year, the two have often fought openly and secretly at the banquet in the palace.

"I heard that the little princess has only recently lifted her foot restraint. Last time you were in the palace where the scandal in Ningbeihou's mansion was rumored. I thought you should be ashamed to show your face when you are hosting a banquet in the East Palace today." The sixth princess held her chin up. , the brows and eyes are full of disdain.

Liu Feiyan's smile gradually disappeared, she held the tea bowl and ignored her.

Ye Lingwu's ears twitched, this matter was even rumored in the palace?She looked towards the source of the sound, and thought that according to Liu Feiyan's temper, she would have to confront the sixth princess, but Liu Feiyan swallowed it abruptly.

"Princess Six also likes Lord Shen Xiaohou, should Miss Lingwu also fight with her?" Lou Zhaorao suddenly turned her head, looking at Ye Lingwu quietly.

"..." Ye Lingwu was speechless.

The last time she did it was not because of Shen Zhan, it was obviously to express her anger for herself. Lou Zhaorao never said anything about Shen Zhan, and those who didn't know thought she liked Shen Zhan... No, the whole house has a lot of faces, how can I like it? Serious son.

Ye Lingwu was snickering in her heart, but she heard a voice from above.

—— "I also heard that the girl who fought with the little princess last time is also here, where is she?" The sixth princess was delighted to see Liu Feiyan deflated, and looked up at the end of the table, as if she was looking for something people.

Ye Lingwu frowned, twisted her stiff neck and looked up, before her gaze reached Princess Six, she saw Lou Zhaorao's gleeful snigger.

Sure enough, the smile doesn't disappear, it just shifts.

"You are the girl who fought with the little princess? I called you just now, why didn't you answer?" The sixth princess was instructed by the maid behind her, and looked at Ye Lingwu who was sitting at the end of the table.
