My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 155 The opening of the drama

At this time, there was a noise among the guests sitting at the back. Shen Yuan and his party looked up and saw that it was the protagonist, Prince Min and his family, who had appeared.

"Eh? Is that Princess Mingzhu? You almost can't recognize her, she's completely different."

"Shhh! There is no Princess Mingzhu anymore, I want to call her Miss Wei."

"She used to love wearing red and bright colors, but now she looks sober and looks like a completely different person."

"I heard that Wei Qionghua had changed his ways during the Qing Dynasty in the Imperial Temple. Look, his appearance is indeed different from before."

……

The female relatives of all the palaces whispered to each other, and they all said that Wei Qionghua's change was shocking.

Shen Yuan looked at the young woman on the far left getting closer and closer with a scrutinizing gaze.

She is tall and tall, and her facial features are inherited from those of the Wei family. She is quite pretty, and her face with a low eyebrow and a slight smile has an expression of tranquility that has passed through the years. She moves lightly and has an elegant demeanor. It would be inappropriate if she did not mention her name. A proper lady.

Shen Yuan looked at the woman walking slowly in front of him and thought of only eight words: Bodhisattva with low eyebrows and snake-like heart.

"Tsk..." Qin Minyi rolled her eyes, "It's just pretentious, it seems like that."

Princess Hetai scowled and said, "Minyi, what's going on with you today? Say less."

Qin Minyi curled her lips, lowered her head and played with the jade bracelet on her wrist, simply turning her head out of sight.

When Shen Yuan saw the person walking away, she asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you have an old grudge with Miss Wei?"

Qin Minyi didn't even raise her head, "No, I just can't stand it. She bullies the weak and fears the strong, and will only bring discredit to the royal family. Who would want to pay attention to her?"

Shen Yuan was speechless and choked. It seemed that the eldest aunt, her husband, and her brother both hated Wei Qionghua deeply.

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

Following a sharp shout from the inner court attendant, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone shut up in time.

A gorgeous palace-made sedan was carried into the Qinshui Garden. The Queen Mother, dressed in regular clothes, sat on the throne with the support of two nuns.

All the guests stood up and saluted, shouting "Blessings".

"Come on, everyone, sit down! The Ai family is attending a family banquet today. There is no need to pay attention to those red tapes. Let's just be casual and let the guests and hosts enjoy themselves." The guests thanked the Queen Mother and after sitting down again, it became much quieter. No one dared to be presumptuous. .

However, the maiko who appeared immediately relieved the embarrassment, and everyone concentrated on enjoying the dance again.

Shen Yuan noticed that there were still many people peeking at Wei Qionghua during the banquet. After all, this woman had changed so much that no one could help but be curious, even she herself couldn't help but take a few glances.

Wei Qionghua always had a smile on his face and a dignified manner. From time to time he would say a few words to the Queen Mother beside him, looking obedient and innocent.

Qin Minyi sneered when she saw them, "Brothers and sisters, don't look at people with your eyes, but with your heart. Some people are rotten from the core. No matter how good they look on the outside, they are still miserable on the inside."

Shen Yuan responded quietly: "Thank you, eldest sister, for the tip. The prince told me something before I came here, and I know it well."

Qin Minyi patted her hand and said with a smile: "I know you are smart, so it's good to know."

Turning her head, Qin Minyi asked her sister to go again, and the girls from the Zheng family and the Lu family also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

The liveliness in Qinshui Garden is still going on. The dance performance has ended, and now it is the famous opera gang from the capital that takes the stage.

The Queen Mother loves to listen to operas, and what she is singing today are all her favorite operas about loyalty to the emperor and serving the country.

When the last play came to an end, the protagonist, Prince Min, stood up and began to deliver the opening remarks.

"I am deeply honored by the large number of distinguished guests today. After five years away from Beijing, many people and things are no longer what they were yesterday. I would like to say something from the bottom of my heart to all the guests. As a father, I feel deeply guilty for the mistakes Qionghua made in the past. If my daughter has offended me in any way, I hope everyone will forgive me, and the King of Japan will definitely come and apologize. My daughter has been practicing in the impoverished imperial temple for five years, and now she has changed her ways. I only hope that everyone will see this for the king's sake. Come on, give her a chance to change her ways, don’t mention the past, just look forward to the future.”

After speaking, Prince Min bowed deeply, his posture was very humble.

"I don't dare, I don't dare, the prince's words are serious."

The guests present all stood up and returned the courtesy, not daring to accept such a heavy courtesy.

Just kidding, the Queen Mother is still sitting up there, who dares to take care of her?

As for Prince Min Jun, he just wanted everyone to forgive Wei Qionghua for his past mistakes with just two words, which was too low a view.

In particular, some families who were deeply persecuted by the "Mingzhu Princess" seemed to be dissatisfied. If they were not concerned about the presence of the Queen Mother, they would probably leave on the spot.
