After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won't Leave Me Alone Chapter 261

Chapter 261 New Year's Eve Palace Banquet

Five days later, on New Year's Eve, there will be a banquet in the palace.

As a family member of the royal family, Shen Mingjiao naturally had to go there earlier. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, let a small yellow gate lead Cui Lingling to the front hall where the palace banquet was, while she first went to Fengming Palace where the queen was.

When they arrived at Fengming Palace, there were already a lot of people sitting in the main hall, all of whom were female relatives of some offshoots of the royal family.

Shen Mingjiao stepped forward to greet the queen, and the queen waved her hand: "We are all one family, so brothers and sisters are welcome." After that, someone moved a chair under her.

The other female family members of the Zong family couldn't help but feel sour when they saw it. The Tian family has never had family ties, but this statement absolutely does not apply to the current Jinghe Emperor and Su King.

The two brothers are obviously quite different in age, and they were not born to the same mother, but Jing and Di are closer to King Su than ordinary brothers.

Shen Mingjiao took the tea served by the maid, and saw that the empress frowned slightly, and her face was not too good, obviously she had encountered something troublesome.

The empress is not a person who can hide her emotions. All the female members of the clan present could see it. It was just out of prudence to protect herself, and no one asked.

Shen Mingjiao guessed what was going on after a little thought.

When the time came, the empress led a few people to the front hall. On the way, Shen Mingjiao sat beside the empress' sedan chair and asked, "Is the empress worried about the prince?"

The queen sighed: "Yes! After Qi Yu learned that His Majesty wanted to choose a concubine for him at the palace banquet today, he refused to agree to it, and locked himself in the study without seeing anyone."

Shen Ming remained silent, this is indeed something a prince can do.

"What did the emperor say?"

"Your Majesty has sent the Prince Taifu and several gentlemen from Chongwenguan to persuade him. If it really doesn't work, His Majesty said he will tie him up."

Speaking of this, the sadness on her face was even stronger, and she almost shed tears.

"Actually, we are not forcing him to marry someone, but watching him become decadent day by day, it is hard to be a parent after all, but he..."

When it came to the sad part, I actually choked up. She is not a very strong person. Compared with ordinary women, her life can be said to be smooth, except for her two sons. The eldest son died early, and now the younger son is dying for a woman all day long.

Shen Mingjiao handed her a handkerchief: "I understand, Aunt Huang just wants him to come out slowly."

I thought in my heart. Given the degree of infatuation the prince has for Su Qing, he might not be able to let it go for a while.

Arrived at the front hall where the palace banquet was held. After everyone greeted them, the queen waved her hand to let the girls feel free, and then followed the **** into the back hall, presumably to let people inquire about the prince's situation.

Shen Mingjiao took a look, and found that there were a lot of female relatives who came today, especially many girls in the cardamom age, each of them had been carefully dressed, and the clothes were fragrant and beautiful, and they were extremely gorgeous.

Seeing Cui Lingling waving at her at this time, she walked over: "It seems that many girls in Beijing want to marry the prince!"

Cui Lingling pushed a plate of peeled melon seeds between the two of them, curled her lips and said, "Isn't it? You don't know, these women are going to blow the prince up to heaven!"

Because the prince has been protecting Su Qing unconditionally, she has no good impression of his instinct.

Thinking of the next few decades. She was upset that their Red Lotus Sect might want to be filial and loyal to such a master.

But no matter how upset she is, as the saintess of the Red Lotus Sect, she will not take the initiative to do anything.

While the two were chatting and eating melon seeds, a woman's delicate scolding came from not far away:

"Get up, this position is the one I saw first."

The two of them searched for their prestige, and saw several noble ladies surrounded by a seat near the screen opposite, and in the center stood a mighty red-clothed girl.

The girl was holding a whip in her hand and pointing at a woman in blue sitting at the table.

The woman in blue looked at the whip in her hand, shrank her shoulders in fear, but still gritted her teeth and raised her head to meet her gaze as calmly as possible.

"Miss, what do you mean by this? We are both officials and eunuchs, and this lady has not signed, why can't I do it?"

Seeing that she dared to retort, the girl in red became even angrier. She pointed a whip at her and said without hesitation:

"What qualifications do you have to compare with me, my father is a second-rank general, and you are just a concubine who can't stand on the stage!"

When she said this, it can be said that it caused public outrage, not because of the phrase "a concubine who can't stand on the stage", but because she said that her father is a second-rank general. Hearing these words, there is a sense of using status to overwhelm others, and the status of being here is not low, so naturally he can't hear these words.

Suddenly, everyone around looked at her with unkind eyes.

The woman in blue heard her humiliating herself like this, bit her lower lip aggrievedly, but still straightened her back: "Can you overwhelm others because of your noble status? Why!"

The red-clothed girl didn't care about everyone's gaze, she seemed to be completely irritated by the blue-clothed woman's words, and raised her whip to whip it down:

"I'm going to overwhelm people with power, what can you do to me! I hate people like you the most. You put on a pitiful face that the whole world bullies you. I heard it just now at the gate of the palace. You and your maid Talking bad about me!"

After finishing speaking, he no longer hesitated, and raised his whip at that pitiful but pretending to be strong face.

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene. On such an occasion, if you say something, you can do it. Everyone only thinks that this girl can be arrogant!

Just as the whip was about to fall, a middle-aged lady hurried over, grabbed the girl in red by the arm, and reprimanded in a low voice:

"Shu'er, don't mess around."

After speaking, he smiled apologetically at everyone: "My sister-in-law is young and ignorant. Let everyone see the joke." After finishing speaking, he was about to pull people away,

The red-clothed girl was unwilling to leave, and shouted: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, she scolded me, and she scolded me very badly..."

The middle-aged lady stroked her forehead with a headache, and coaxed softly: "Okay, my little ancestor, don't even look at this place! She scolded you, you just clean it up later..."

Although he said so, his words were full of pampering and protection.

All the noble ladies looked at each other, but because of the identity of the girl in red, no matter what they thought in their hearts, no one said anything.

Shen Mingjiao withdrew her gaze, "The girl in red is Lu Jingshu, the daughter of General Lu. I wonder which family the girl in blue is from?"

Cui Lingling said: "She is Jiang Xueru, the concubine daughter of Mr. Zhongshuling Jiang, but she has been placed under the name of her aunt a few days ago."

She lowered her voice and said: "According to reliable sources, His Majesty pre-selected Mr. Jiang as Prime Minister."

If there is any major event in the court recently, it must be the vacant prime minister. It has been more than two months since the death of the former Prime Minister Su Huai, but Jing and Di have not yet decided on the prime minister candidate, which makes some high-ranking officials eager to move.

Shen Mingjiao understood, she said why she had never seen this Miss Jiang in her previous life!

In the previous life, because of the tug-of-war with Beidi and other reasons, Su Huai was still alive when she died. So naturally there will be no such thing as the Zhongshuling Mr. Jiang? And Jiang Xueru, a concubine, naturally would not have the opportunity to attend such a banquet.

In this life, because of her and Feng Lisheng's rebirth, Su Huai died prematurely.

She raised her eyebrows: "Master Jiang wants to stuff his daughter into the East Palace?"

If she remembers correctly, Mr. Jiang has a prostitute daughter in his family, but she got married early.

Nowadays, there is a difference in the status of concubine and concubine. If the head mother can entrust the concubine under her own name when she has a daughter, it can only show that the concubine is valuable.

It's just... Based on her understanding of Jing and Di, this Master Jiang may have made a bad move.
