Family Has a Concubine

Chapter 501: Banquet (Part 1)

On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, all the nobles received palace invitations from Emperor Zhengxuan. On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, a Spring Festival banquet was held in the palace.

After Zhenxihou's Mansion received the post, the maids and mother-in-law in the family were very excited. After all, Chu Yunpan was wronged and suffered a while ago, and now he is finally watching the moonlight. It just so happened that Emperor Zhengxuan also recovered from his illness, so he finally didn't have to worry about eating and sleeping, even if he wanted to laugh.

The palace banquet was lively and lively, Qingliu, Huiran and others naturally liked it.

All kinds of skirts, jackets, embroidered cloaks, cloaks, etc. were spread out on a bed, and Qingliu and Baishui were chattering about which one Ye Tangcai should wear for the banquet and how to match it.

Ye Tangcai sat on the couch with a smile on her face, embroidering the child's clothes with Huiran, it was a festive and lively scene.

"The third master is back!" At this time, Xiaoyue's cheerful voice sounded outside.

"Ah, the third master is back." Qingliu and Baishui giggled quickly.

Ye Tang beamed with joy, tilted his head, and vaguely saw a tall figure walking towards this side through the ancient shelf, and with a bang, Xiaoyue opened the bead curtain, and Chu Yunpan felt a little dusty Pu's figure came into view.

Wearing a crow-green unicorn cloak, with silver crowns and gorgeous hair, when he saw her, he smiled without saying a word: "Tang'er." Squeezing over, he picked her up and put her on his lap, with a chirp, and kissed her first, "It's heavy." .”

Ye Tangcai giggled, and said nonsense: "Third Master, you're back." She pressed her head against his chest, rubbing against his chest.

"Yes." Chu Yunpan bowed his head, kissed again, and hugged him tightly: "Tang'er, baby Tang, I miss you."

"Yeah." Ye Tangcai leaned on his shoulder with a sweet heart.

Ye Tangcai smiled, and suddenly ouched, "It's going to kick you."

Chu Yunpan had already stroked her stomach, and sure enough, he felt the movement inside, and couldn't help laughing: "Looks like it's material for martial arts."

The husband and wife were talking intimately, Hui Ran, Qing Liu and others hurriedly left with a smile, and closed the door tactfully before going out.

"The emperor specially notified me to come back to attend the palace banquet." Chu Yunpan said.

"He's recovered now. When I went to Chu Miaoshu's side yesterday, she was restless." Ye Tangcai said. "Where is King Liang...do you have a letter?"

It was agreed at the time that as soon as Emperor Zhengxuan got well, he would start to divide the prince and Emperor Zhengxuan and encourage the prince to rebel.

"Yes, they are heading to Bozhou." Chu Yunpan said.

"Bozhou?" Ye Tangcai was puzzled.

"There are people left behind by the former empress. Liang Wang wants to find those people and escort them back." Chu Yunpan said. "Let's agree that he will return to Lingzhou at the end of February."

Ye Tangcai finally saw the direction and the dawn, and nodded. "By the way, how is Sakura?"

"It wasn't mentioned in the letter." Chu Yunpan patted her head.

Ye Tangcai froze for a moment, but thinking that there was still a month left before a big event could be achieved, Ye Tangcai couldn't help cheering up.

Because of Chu Yunpan's return, the entire Zhenxihou Mansion seemed more peaceful and peaceful.

On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival banquet is held grandly.

All the nobles went out one after another around the end of time.

All of a sudden, the common people and peddlers on the street gave way, and the gorgeous carriages moved on the streets like dragons. Fragrant chariots and BMWs, red wheel canopies, and exquisite wind lamps on the carriages are swaying.

It is expected to be cold in the cold spring, and the cold of this winter has not yet been driven away, but the carriages on the street make the coldness lively for a moment, and drive away the coldness.

The carriages passed by the street and entered the palace, all of them were waiting outside the gate of the palace, crowded and slowly moving forward.

The carriage of Zhenxihou's Mansion stopped at Donghua Gate, Chu Yunpan jumped out of the carriage, and then helped Ye Tangcai down.

"I wonder if sister-in-law is here?" Ye Tangcai said.

Chu Yunpan said: "Today's Spring Festival banquet is very big, as long as everyone with dignity is invited, the Chen family will naturally not be left behind, but she is old, so she doesn't know about it."

"Third master, third grandma." At this moment, a laugh sounded.

Ye Tangcai was startled, and raised her head in the crowd, unexpectedly saw Chun Shan standing not far away, walking over with a smile: "The side concubine is thinking about the third grandma, and she specially ordered the servant to come and pick her up."

Ye Tangcai's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded: "Oh, she has a heart. Where is your side concubine?"

"We've arrived at Qinghui Garden, even my wife has arrived," Chun Shan said. "Third master and third grandma, come quickly."

"Okay." Ye Tangcai nodded with a smile.

The couple followed Chun Shan and left, but Hui Ran and Qing Liu looked at each other, Qing Liu said in a low voice: "Chu side concubine and our grandma have never been on good terms, and every time they meet, they always have cross-eyes and raised eyebrows, and today this one actually took the initiative to show you good."

"She doesn't cause trouble, let's leave it alone." Seeing Ye Tangcai and Chu Yunpan's happy faces, Hui Ran reminded Qingliu.

Qingliu is sensible, nodded: "Let's go, let's go to the Baosha where we rest."

Those who accompanied the palace banquet were not allowed to enter the palace, but could only go to the designated place to rest.

Ye Tangcai and Chu Yunpan followed Chunshan away, and met many noble sons and ladies along the way, who came up to say hello, Ye Tangcai smiled lightly and responded casually.

As soon as he walked into the Qinghui Garden, he saw a young eunuch coming over with a smile: "Master Hou is finally here, Lord Shangguan just happened to be looking for you."

"Okay." Chu Yunpan turned around and said to Ye Tangcai, "I'll go first."

"En." Ye Tangcai nodded.

"Third Grandma, this way." Chun Shan said enthusiastically.

Ye Tangcai walked on a white jade path, surrounded by pavilions and pavilions, a prosperous scene, the nobles were divided into small groups, either enjoying the scenery together, or reciting poems and painting, it was very lively.

Ye Tangcai followed Chun Shan's footsteps, and soon arrived at a pavilion with an octagonal helmet top, and saw a group of noble ladies in colorful clothes sitting inside, and Chu Miaoshu was sitting in the middle.

Concubine Lu, Princess Xinyang, Princess Gelan...these are still the same people, but before the princess was sitting in the middle, now that the princess is gone, Chu Miaoshu is sitting in the middle, like the moon surrounded by stars.

Chu Miaoshu saw a cold look in Ye Tangcai's eyes, but she stood up and came up with a smile: "Little sister-in-law, you are here! I miss you all the time!"

Concubine Lu laughed: "Chuan Concubine Chu and Young Madam have such a good relationship."

"Of course." Chu Miaoshu pulled Ye Tangcai to sit beside her.

Ye Tangcai's eyes flickered slightly, but he accepted her flattery: "I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

Chu Miaoshu saw that Ye Tangcai did not embarrass herself at all, she thought that Ye Tangcai would be ridiculed by all kinds of cynicism when she suddenly showed affection, but how could she have thought that Ye Tangcai would accept it just like that.

Chu Miaoshu snorted coldly in her heart, bastard, in fact, she wanted to flatter herself a long time ago, but she just couldn't save face. After all, she will be the queen in the future.

But why let her get close first?

Bear with it now! For the big plan! In order to become queen as soon as possible.

"Little sister-in-law, the hairpin on your head is so beautiful," Chu Miaoshu flattered again.

Ye Tang touched the hairpin on his head, it was an ordinary white jade bell hairpin, and smiled lightly: "You like it? Give it to you."

Chu Miaoshu was startled, it was just a white jade hairpin, there was nothing unusual about it, so she said: "I only praise how beautiful it is, little sister-in-law, why are you so affectionate."

The people around were hehehe, Lu Wangfei said: "Look at this pair of aunts and sisters, they have such a good relationship."

The corner of Chu Miaoshu's lips twitched.

Princess Ge Lan glanced at Ye Tangcai, and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, Mrs. Chu, the bracelet on your hand—"

Everyone was startled, and couldn't help looking at Ye Tang Caihao's wrist.

I saw that under the slight cover of the sleeves, the red gold was dazzling, but I couldn't see it clearly.

"Lan'er, what's the matter?" Princess Lu asked.

Ye Tangcai looked up and looked at her. Princess Glenn raised her face slightly and looked at her with a cold expression.

Ye Tangcai couldn't help thinking of the last time at the Prince's Mansion, because of Jiang Xinxue's incident, she scolded Princess Ge Lan, and the two had a grudge.

"Mrs. Chu, can you show me your bracelet?" Princess Ge Lan said coldly.

Everyone was surprised, this attitude, at first glance, was looking for trouble. Princess Lu immediately smoothed things over: "Lan'er, if you have anything to say, please talk."

"Hmph!" Princess Ge Lan suddenly stood up, looking down at Ye Tangcai: "The bracelet on your hand is very similar to the one I lost at the Qionglin Banquet last year."

Everyone here gasped, this... Is Princess Glenn's mind caught by the door?

Who is that in front of me? It's Madam Zhenxihou!

Although Princess Ge Lan is the most beloved granddaughter of Emperor Zhengxuan, with a noble status, she could walk sideways in the past because she is also the wife of the commander of the Jingwei camp. Now, Wu Yiyi, the commander of the Jingwei Battalion, has become disabled and has also been dismissed from his post. The current Jingwei camp has been given to Chu Yunpan.

Thinking about it, everyone was shocked.

I see! Princess Ge Lan's position as husband-in-law was replaced by Chu Yunpan. Princess Ge Lan was not angry, so she deliberately sought revenge.

Moreover, this Qiu Xunde... is too brainless!

Is this to frame Ye Tangcai for stealing her bracelet?

"Lan'er, I'm afraid you have made a mistake." Princess Lu sighed slightly.

She always loves Princess Glenn as a junior, so she doesn't want Princess Glenn to hit a stone with an egg. ,

"Where did I admit it wrong? Even if I admit it wrong, I ask Madam Zhenxihou to show it to me." Princess Glenn raised her eyebrows, "How is it?"

Ye Tangcai's face darkened, Chu Miaoshu said coldly: "You are so unreasonable, you wronged people for no reason."

Princess Xinyang also frowned: "Lan'er, calm down."

"Oh." Ye Tang glanced at her coldly, "Let's see if you let me? If you say your things are on me, will I search you in public!"

"You...you all bully me!" Glenn gritted his teeth fiercely, looking humiliated.

Princess Lu frowned, sympathizing with her very much. His father died since he was a child, and he finally married an outstanding man, but now he is useless. Naturally, I can't see Ye Tang picking up the scenery here.

"Glenn, what are you doing here?" A cold voice sounded.

Everyone was startled, and when they turned their heads, they saw a group of people walking to this side. Emperor Zhengxuan was sitting on a sliding pole, and four eunuchs were carrying him.

"See the emperor." Everyone saluted quickly.

"Get up." Emperor Zhengxuan quickly raised his hand.

Ye Tangcai looked up at him, and saw Emperor Zhengxuan's face was ruddy, he was wearing the imperial robe of Emperor Ming, and he looked majestic.

"Father has just recovered from a serious illness, why did you come out?" Princess Xinyang asked with a worried expression.

However, Emperor Zhengxuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's rare for me to get up, so naturally I can relax and take a look at you. By the way, what are you arguing about here?"

"Grandfather." Princess Ge Lan walked over immediately with red eyes, and said aggrievedly: "The granddaughter just wants to see the bracelet of the young lady, and she won't give it."

Emperor Zhengxuan became curious: "Oh, what bracelet?"

Ye Tangcai pursed her lips, and then stretched out her hand, only to see a red gold nine-turn bracelet with rings and beads on a bright wrist. It is so golden and gorgeous.

Everyone was surprised when they saw it, this bracelet is really beautiful.

Emperor Zhengxuan was also shocked when he saw it, because he recognized that it was the bracelet he gave to Empress Xiao on the night of his wedding. That is Queen Xiao's property!

Before the Xiao family had an accident, his relationship with Empress Xiao was already in dire straits. He hadn't been in her palace for a long time, so naturally he wouldn't pay attention to this bracelet. Seeing it now, I was shocked and saddened, and couldn't help but think of the happy time he had with Empress Xiao back then.

I really don't know how this bracelet fell into Ye Tangcai's hands.

Princess Glenn's eyes widened: "Ah, so I was wrong, it's not mine. Hmph!" Ye Tang had a look of pride that deflated Ye Tang. But when she lowered her head, her long eyelashes covered the cold light in her eyes.

Emperor Zhengxuan looked at Ye Tangcai in shock: "Where did you get this bracelet?"

"It was given by my grandmother." Ye Tang said.

Emperor Zhengxuan was shocked again: "Your grandmother? It's..." I couldn't remember for a while.

"It's the old lady of the Chu family, Mrs. Mei." Ye Tangcai said, "This is a gift she gave me."

Emperor Zhengxuan was stunned, and also thought of this person. Mrs. Mei, like Empress Xiao, was a general and tiger girl, and she was also a person who would lead troops when she was young.
