The gambling concubine has an appointment, the prince will come again

Chapter 190 The Banquet In Progress

A few days later, Bai Lingxi's banquet was finally held.

Because she was a princess of the Western Kingdom, and she was also the emperor's guest, when Bai Lingxi said that she would hold a banquet, and the invitation letter was sent out, there were many female relatives in the minister's family who responded, and they all expressed that they would attend.

The banquet time came as scheduled, but this time it was held in the name of the Prince's Mansion and Bai Lingxi together, saying that it was a specially prepared banquet to welcome the princess.

On this day, the prince's mansion was full of people, and many luxurious carriages were parked in front of the door. The guests had basically arrived one after another, and the snacks and fruits were also placed on the table. Those female relatives were in groups in the mansion Wandering around, there were also some young masters invited in the name of the Prince's Mansion, who were also talking in the front hall.

Before the luncheon started, Tao Mo and Bai Lingxi were sitting in the backyard chatting with the wives of several ministers' families. Tao Mo didn't really like this kind of gathering. .

"Ladies and gentlemen, try it. This is the Puluo tea I brought from the Western Kingdom. It is fresh and delicious. Many members of the royal family of the Western Kingdom love it very much. Today I will give you a taste." Bai Lingxi said softly, and lifted the teacup from the willow. Yi took it in his hand and poured tea for those sitting there with his own hands.

There are only a few wives in Bailingxi who can pour water with their own hands, because their husbands are very powerful in the court or on the military field. If there is anything, their husbands are very respectful sharp.

Tao Mo took a look at Bai Lingxi, didn't make a sound, and drank his tea quietly. This Bai Lingxi was very winking, and he would go to please these wives, and even specially invited these wives out alone. Tea to please, I don't know what method Bai Lingxi will use next.

And those ladies are also people who have seen the big world. Although they were shocked when they heard it was Puluo tea, they all quickly calmed down.

Seeing their reaction, Bai Lingxi felt an inexplicable disgust in her heart, and snorted coldly. She obviously likes Puluo tea very much, but she still pretended not to look forward to it, did she deliberately show it to me?If it weren't for me, would you country women be able to drink tea like this?

Puluo tea is a special tea for the royal family of the Western Kingdom. Many royal people love it very much, but this kind of tea is relatively rare. Even the emperor of the Western Kingdom can only get one catty a year.

Because this kind of tea is difficult to grow and has very strict requirements on the environment, this kind of tea can only be grown in Western countries, and other countries are really rare. Therefore, Bailingxi can produce this kind of tea, which shows that the emperor has great respect for the tea. She valued her, when she flattered these noble ladies, she also imperceptibly swore that her status was precious and the emperor of the Western Kingdom valued her.

"This Puluo tea really lives up to its reputation!" A lady put down her cup and said in admiration.

Tao Mo looked up at the lady who spoke, Mrs. Liu, Prime Minister Liu's wife.The status is precious and the family is prominent. The most amazing thing is that she and Liu Shangshu are a young couple. They are very affectionate. If you get her support, you will get Liu Shangshu's share of power. The most important thing is that Liu Shangshu is famous. My wife is strict!
"As long as Mrs. Liu likes it." Bai Lingxi didn't have any pride on his face, nor did he intentionally try to please her.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Liu actually applauded her in her heart. This princess is so knowledgeable, kind and generous, and also gets along with others. It is not easy to be a housewife.While thinking about it, she looked at Tao Mo, the more she looked at Tao Mo's appearance, the more she wanted to frown, but unfortunately, this Tao Mo couldn't compare to other princesses.

"We have received the princess's favor, and this tea is also rare. In the southern country, we have all heard that the princess is the treasure in the palm of the king of the West. It seems that the reputation is really well-deserved!" Mrs. Liu praised Bai Lingxi, and her eyes were full of approval. The idea of ​​mutual understanding also arises in my heart. If this princess can be so favored by the King of the West, and treated as a distinguished guest by the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, then... definitely will...

"Yes, the princess has a heart." Mrs. Wu also echoed.

Tao Mo heard another voice, and raised his head to look at Madam Wu who spoke. This Madam Wu is the general's wife. Although there are often rumors of husband and wife discord, her identity will never be shaken, because the family behind her is a hundred years old. The family, and most importantly, her elder sister is the imperial concubine, who has just given birth to the eighteenth prince, and has been favored recently.

"As long as Madam Wu likes it, I still have some. Although it's not much, it's still in my heart. I'll decorate it for the ladies later, but it's too little. Don't be disgusted, ladies." Bai Lingxi said happily, her tone There is also a bit of shyness that is not annoying and embarrassment that seems to be caused by the lack of giving.

"How can we dislike the princess for being so generous? It's too late for us to thank you!" Another lady joined the conversation, this one is Taifu Tianfang, Mrs. Zhang.

"Yes, yes. The princess is too polite, and we disturbed the princess today!" Another lady said.

Everyone just discussed each other like this, as if they were very happy, and Tao Mo didn't want to think about whose wife these were, anyway, they were all women who were either rich or noble, it seemed that Bai Ling Xi will soon integrate into this circle.

Tao Mo silently drank his tea without saying a word, hey, this Bai Lingxi is also a capable person, unlike himself, he can't get along with these noble ladies at all, so she is suitable for it ...Girls like Fang Yuanhui played together.

How good it is to be like Fang Yuanhui, what to say, love and hate, when you don't like yourself, you can rush to your door with a big knife, like yourself, but you can take the risk of taking purple toads for yourself, such a friend They are the ones who can really get along with each other. Unlike these noble ladies, they will always treat you badly on the surface, but they want to stab you to death in private. The truth is very fake, and the fake is annoying.

Tao Mo looked helplessly at Bai Lingxi chatting happily with those noble ladies. It seemed that he would never be able to do this again. She would never be able to help Situ Yin in this kind of backyard communication, but she was in other respects Definitely a hundred times stronger than these women!
Moreover, she also believes that her husband can be very powerful without her help. You see, isn't the Dark Palace a good example?
"What is Sister Tao Mo thinking?" Bai Lingxi's voice suddenly sounded beside Tao Mo's ear, interrupting Tao Mo's wild thoughts.

"It's okay!" Tao Mo said with a smile after reacting suddenly, "What's the matter, princess, what's the matter?"

Seeing Tao Mo's appearance, Bai Lingxi frowned displeased in his heart, but his face was still gentle and virtuous, generous, and no one could find a single fault.

"It's lunch time, I just told the ladies, let's eat together, sister!"

"Okay, so fast."

Everyone went to the front hall together. The table in the front hall was the kind of rectangle, which could be directly connected from the beginning to the end. At this time, the table was already full of dishes, and the dishes of various colors were fascinating.

At this time, many people were already seated in the hall, but there were still many empty seats at the front, which were specially ordered by Bai Lingxi to be reserved for these noble ladies. Chatting and talking in the position.

And the men were all in the next hall, being entertained by Situ Yin.

"Imperial brother, your banquet is very grand, father and emperor have heard about it." The person who spoke was the crown prince, and he was also invited by the princess of Xiguo to attend the banquet.

"Brother Huang, don't make fun of me. I didn't drive this. If Mo'er hears it, he will get angry with me again." Hearing what the prince said, Situ Yin quickly explained, but when Tao Mo was mentioned again, There is light and joy in the eyes.

Seeing his royal brother's expression like this, the prince shook his head helplessly, and said jokingly: "You have become a wife and have strict control, and you will have something to say with that Liu Shangshu in the future."

Situ Yin looked at the ridicule in the prince's eyes, shook his head by himself, and said helplessly, "Let's be strict with your wife, you can't change it, there's nothing you can do!"

"I wish you to become a member of the strict management of wives!" The prince teased Situ Yin, raised his glass and signaled to toast him.

Situ Yin also quickly picked up the wine glass and clinked the glass with the prince, and agreed willingly. The two chatted while drinking and eating.

On the female side, after Bai Lingxi said a very perfect and very popular speech, everyone began to eat, and the women ate slowly, chewing in small bites, as if whoever ate the least would eat the most. Whoever has the slowest self-cultivation and education is the highest.

Tao Mo couldn't get used to their appearance, so he didn't look at them any more, and asked the serving maid for a bowl of West Lake Beef Soup, and drank it on his own.

The dishes at the banquet were also constantly changing. After watching a dish being eaten twice, they quickly replaced it with a new plate when no one was eating, and the dishes continued.

And this time, although Bai Lingxi held a banquet in the Prince's Mansion, she still paid most of the money herself, and she specially hired a few chefs from the three major restaurants in the capital to come here to cook meals. Down the blood.

As far as the dishes are concerned, Tao Mo feels that they are pretty good, they are delicious, and she has eaten several dishes from her own restaurant. Well, it seems that the cooking skills have become more exquisite, and the taste of the dishes has become even better.

"After lunch, there are still some small games and food in the garden. Ladies and gentlemen, you can go and have a look. The banquet is in a hurry. If the reception is not good, I hope all the ladies don't mind." Bai Lingxi said very well There are levels.

No one dared to give her any suggestions. After hearing what she said, everyone praised and echoed her. The atmosphere seemed to be very good.
