Qu Quan nodded, "The queen's second daughter, the second princess, it's not who that hoof is." He bent down and pressed his head to Ling Xueji's shoulder, "It's over, it's over, your woman is going to die at this Hongmen banquet this time."
"Qu Quan, be more sober." Ling Xueji was itchy by her shoulders, she quickly pushed the person away, frowned and said: "If you want to be tossed, I will be tossed."
"Ah? Why?" Qu Quan seemed a little unresponsive.
Ling Xueji sighed, suspecting that Qu Quan was a fake. "The flower viewing banquet in the harem is attended by the female family members of the official family. You are an official from the previous dynasty, so of course you went to the previous court—"
The voice stopped abruptly, Qu Quan suppressed a smile, quietly waiting for her next words.
Ling Xueji came to his senses and held back his small mouth.
"What about the previous dynasty?"
"The Hongmen Banquet of the previous dynasty."
Chapter 150 Princess Flower Banquet
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the month, and the arranged princess flower banquet was held in the imperial garden of the palace as scheduled.Since ancient times, if there is a situation where women are brought to the palace for a banquet, even if there is no special event in the harem, a banquet will be set up to entertain the women of the former ministers.Adhering to the rule of different seats for men and women, if there is no banquet in the harem, a gauze tent will be set up on the banquet in the previous court, and the female relatives brought by each minister will go to the banquet with the husband or father behind the gauze tent. But such a situation basically did not happen after Emperor Yulong came to the throne.
Although there are currently four female officials in the court in Daxia, because these four female officials except Wei Yueyan and Qu Quan already have wives in the house, and the husbands of the other two are also officials in the same dynasty, so they went to the court in the previous dynasty. Others at the banquet can't criticize it.
Ling Qiufan came down to the imperial garden under the guidance of the palace maids. There were not many court ladies and family members who attended the table early, but almost everyone gathered together to talk.
The words are nothing more than an upgraded version of folk gossip, which official's daughter married the servant, which official's official married an official of the household department. The hairpin was custom-made at a high price, which girl's satin is woven from the rare ice silkworm raised in the north, which is a rare and rare material... Ling Qiufan has a cold temper and doesn't like to talk to others , In addition, Wei Yueyan's status is based on the battle performance, even if she wants to build a relationship, Wei Yueyan will handle it by herself in the previous court, without her wife's troubles, so she just sat down silently according to her heart, and didn't want to What is the interaction with these ladies and noble ladies.
She only cares about one thing. This time, all officials above the fourth rank are required to attend the banquet. Qu Quan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, is also invited. Since Qu Quan went to the farewell banquet of the previous dynasty, her own sister, Ling Xueji, the wife of the Minister of Justice, was naturally also invited to the Princess Flower Banquet.Shangshu's mansion is closer to the imperial palace than the general's mansion, I have already been here, why haven't I come here yet?
While thinking about it, a lady in ginger yellow clothes and emerald jade hair on the side seemed to have noticed Ling Qiufan, twisted her handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth after drinking tea, turned around and said with a smile: "This is the The wife of General Wei?"
Hearing this, Ling Qiufan paused the hand holding the teacup, and turned his face to meet a face that was in his early thirties, but obviously had taken care of his face so that his real age could not be seen.
"Exactly, what's the matter with this lady?"

In fact, Ling Xueji had arrived at the place a long time ago. She just walked to the place not far from the banquet when she was smelled of rouge and powder. She really didn't want to get too close to those people, so the maid took her to a similar place. He waved his hand and let the maid go down, indicating that he knew the place and didn't need to lead the way anymore, and rewarded each of the maids with the broken silver that Qu Quan asked her to prepare in his sleeve, and the little maid left happily after getting the reward, left and right These ladies and noble ladies were all going to attend the banquet, and Princess Zhaoren did not come, so it would not be considered a breach of duty not to bring people to the banquet.
So Ling Xueji, who found an opening, happily wandered around the imperial garden alone.
As the name suggests, the flower viewing banquet is a feast for appreciating flowers. Although everyone knows that the flower viewing banquet cannot really let a group of people sit there and look at beautiful flowers, but the meaning still needs to be done, so in today's imperial garden , many precious flowers have already been transferred to the place where the banquet is and nearby by careful gardeners. Put it all the way near the palaces of various empresses and princesses.
In addition, these female family members in the harem are usually leisurely and panic, so they prefer to plant some flowers and plants outside the palace gate or in the palace, so these flowers in the imperial garden will also form a flower road. People can naturally enjoy the flowers along this road, but since ancient times, very few women and noble women participated in this kind of harem flower banquet. They did not want to make friends with nobles, help their husbands pave the way and expand their contacts, but to concentrate on seeing flowers. of.So these flowers have never been cared about.
But today is different, Ling Xueji just loves to look at flowers instead of talking, so she looked at the flowers she knew and didn't know all the way, wandered around the entire imperial garden, and finally followed her most pleasing to the eye. Hua walked into a courtyard that looked a little quieter than the banquet area.
