Chapter 167 Here Comes Another One

Yang Guiren only thought that she was studying seriously, but explained everything to her little by little.

Jiang Yu also made stir-fried shrimp herself, but she didn't eat this one, but asked Feng Ling to make another one, which was to be given to the Queen Mother, and she didn't tell Yang Guiren about this.

In the evening, Feng Ling came to ask her to change clothes and re-dress, so Jiang Yu had to temporarily separate from Yang Guiren.

When she came out after dressing up, the people who came to the palace banquet had already arrived one after another.

The imperial concubine's palace sent a lot of people out, there were seven or eight people to lead the way, bring tea and water, and clean. In addition, they were dispatching people from the Household Office and the Imperial Dining Room, so Fengling and the others were not so busy.

When he came out, Zhuzi just happened to walk over from the small kitchen, and Jiang Yu asked him how Yang Guiren was.

"Yang Guiren? The servant didn't see it." Zhuzi scratched his head.

"Go and get busy."

"Your Majesty, please hurry up. The servant was watching from afar just now. The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Imperial Concubine have all arrived."

At this moment, the sun had just set, and a few stars had just appeared. Jiang Yu did not expect the Queen Mother to be in such a good mood, to come so early.

She took the wind chime to the edge of the osmanthus grove, and the palace people were still busy passing fruit, arranging snacks and tea, and waiting for the banquet to be opened and replaced with dishes.

The guests who came have already arrived, even the general concubines have almost arrived, and I am actually the last one.

Seeing that Yang Guiren was standing among those beautiful girls talking, Jiang Yu was slightly relieved and walked towards the Queen Mother.

Seeing Jiang Yu approaching, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Honor Jiang is late."

"The empress dowager, forgive me." Jiang Yu hurriedly saluted.

"It's okay, I know you're busy."

As soon as Jiang Yu raised her head, she saw Mu Qingyuan sitting next to the queen mother, the noble concubine and De concubine standing next to her, but beside the noble concubine stood three strange women she had never seen before.

One of them is about 30 years old, looks a bit like Mu Qingyuan, and should be the eldest princess Mu Xiuyuan.

The other two are young girls, the older one is slender and beautiful, with a gentle temperament, and the younger one is also naturally beautiful, with a wise face and twinkling round eyes.

I don't know who of the two of them is Princess Yaoqin and who the other girl is.

"Jiang Guiren doesn't know you yet." Seeing her looking at the women, the queen mother introduced her, "This is the eldest princess, this is the daughter of the eldest princess, Princess Yaoqin, this is..."

When the older girl was introduced, the Empress Dowager stopped suddenly, apparently unable to remember.

The girl seemed shy, she pursed her lips and said nothing, the eldest princess said for her: "This is Yaoqin's cousin, Han Hui."

The queen mother raised her forehead: "I am old, my memory is not good, yes, yes! This is the daughter of the brothers of Zhenbei Wang, and Yaoqin's cousin."

"The empress dowager just forgot for a moment, and she's getting old. If you say that, then I'm getting old too." The eldest princess laughed.

She rolled her eyes and said again: "This is Mrs. Jiang who lives in Mingxi Palace."

"Concubine Jiang Yu." Jiang Yu nodded slightly.

Although the eldest princess spoke with a smile, Jiang Yu always felt that her eyes were a little alert, and she even looked at herself secretly.

"Jiang Guiren's face is radiant. As an elder, I want to congratulate the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

The queen mother laughed: "Jiang Guiren is not only good-looking, but also has a good temperament. She can play the zither and dance. By the way, she also cooks well. You can try her dishes later."

"Oh, is that so?" The eldest princess asked indifferently.

Han Hui suddenly interjected: "My daughter saw that the writing on this pavilion is very vigorous, and my daughter likes it very much. I would like to ask Mr. Jiang, which famous handwriting is this?"

"Hui'er has practiced calligraphy with famous calligraphers in the northern border since she was a child. She said yes, it must be good." The eldest princess nodded and said, "Since it is a calligraphy in the palace, it must have a history. Does the Queen Mother know where it is? The handwriting of a famous artist?"

The queen mother tilted her head and saw that there were three big characters "Nongxiang Pavilion" written on the plaque on the pavilion.

Her attainments in calligraphy are limited, so she can't tell who wrote it, but it looks familiar, and it should be a common famous artist.

The Empress Dowager asked Jiang Yu: "Jiang Guiren, the Ai family sees this plaque as new. It was only recently hung up, right? Do you know who wrote it?"

When Jiang Yu listened to their conversation, her eyes had already shifted to Mu Qingyuan's direction.

But Mu Qingyuan looked indifferent, as if what they said had nothing to do with him.

Now that the mother asked later, Jiang Yu had no choice but to answer.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, this is the emperor's handwriting, which was begged by the concubine to give it to the emperor." She replied respectfully.

The queen mother laughed: "No wonder! Ai Jia thinks these words are very familiar, so it was written by the emperor."

Han Hui came over and bowed to Mu Qingyuan: "Your Majesty, forgive me, but I don't know that it was written by the Emperor, so I offended you."

Mu Qingyuan nodded slightly, but did not speak.

"Before Hui'er came to the capital, she said that she should observe and learn more about the calligraphy of famous masters in the capital. Now that there are ready-made teachers in the palace, Hui'er no longer needs to go outside to visit famous teachers." The eldest princess smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu finally understood what Han Hui and the eldest princess were talking about.

Presumably this Han Hui came to the capital with the eldest princess mother and daughter, not just for fun, it's as simple as seeing the world.

But Han Yaoqin yelled: "Go out or go out, stay in the palace all day, bored to death!"

"Yaoqin!" The eldest princess scolded, but her tone was conniving and pampering.

The queen mother imitated her tone: "Bored to death? Okay, when you settle down, there must be a chance for you to go out and play."

"Queen Mother, don't spoil her too much, spoil her. You will be lawless at home. I brought her here to learn the rules in the palace, otherwise I won't be able to marry in the future."

"I don't want to marry!" Han Yaoqin raised her brows and snorted.

The queen mother didn't take it seriously, she shook her head slightly, and laughed at her little girl tone.

Aunt Fu came to ask the Empress Dowager if she would have a banquet. The Empress Dowager looked at the bright moon and nodded, "Let's have a banquet!"

Everyone sat down according to their positions, and Jiang Yu was still sitting far away.

But she specially arranged her seat beside Yang Guiren.

After she sat down for a while, Yang Guicai came late.

She patted her chest lightly and said, "Fortunately, it's not too late."

Jiang Yu asked her, "Sister Yang, where did you go just now?"

"I'm going to change clothes." Yang Guiren replied calmly.

Looking at her calm expression, Jiang Yu wondered if she should trust her.

In her previous life, she was poisoned and escaped smoothly, but what about this time?

With so many people around, it's not immediately clear who's food is wrong.

It may be okay to hide for a day and a half, but it is not an easy task to run from this palace to the outside.
