The Crown Prince’s New Female Staff - Chapter 11
The Liufeng Banquet organized by the Princess’ Mansion emphasizes “same seats for men and women.”
Inside the hall is a running water table. Men sit on the left side and women sit on the right side. When eating, they sit opposite each other, which is quite in line with the theme of today’s banquet – to promote marriage.
But Xie Yu was not very interested in these luxurious furnishings, or even luxurious people.
Having seen the gorgeousness and extravagance of the Prince’s Mansion, and then looking at the furnishings of the Eldest Princess’ Mansion, I always felt a little faux-fake and powerful. Xie Yu followed the maid who led the way to find the sign of Xie Guogong and sat down.
Her exotic outfit quickly caught everyone’s attention.
Not far away, a few young ladies wearing green and pink pendants were covering their mouths and secretly laughing, pointing at Xie Yu.
Xie Yu didn’t care about other people’s opinions, just found the white fox female bodyguard beside him, the tall Xie Abao.
A Bao bent down and listened to Xie Yu’s orders.
On a running water table, there are rules for the seating arrangement. Those young ladies sat at the back of the running water table, and at first glance, the family was not very prominent.
“Check out those people, they are talking ill of me over there.”
Xie Yu has a lot of inner strength, and he heard a few vulgar words with just a slight movement of his ears.
Apparently Abao heard it too, and his tone involuntarily became harsher.
“The lady in this capital is really well-bred.”
Xie Yu chuckled. Today, she put rouge gouache on her fair face, and she smiled like an open peony, dazzling.
Her brown eyes looked straight at the young ladies, and the table over there suddenly fell silent.
Xie Yu waved her hand and said boredly: “The one in pink clothes in the middle, just clean up her one later.”
Xie Abao took the order, stood up and took a step back to chat with Xie Ruyi.
The slaves and maids were not allowed to eat at the main banquet, so the two quickly disappeared into the hall.
Only Xie Yu turned the cup unhurriedly and smiled provocatively at the young ladies over there. The awe in his eyes made them shut their mouths for a moment, ‘I didn’t expect that so many people were staring at the Crown Princess. s position. ’
How many daughters of the little waiter’s family dare to think about this position?
The girls just talked a lot about Qi Liangye, and she was scolded as a viper and scorpion for her shield, but… Who is Sun Qingyao?
The white fingertips took off the black cape, revealing the purple long skirt inside, with a slender waist and a plump buttocks, so eye-catching.
This flamboyant color made Sun Qingyao, who had just stepped into the main hall, stop again.
Seeing that the sign in front of her was Xie Guogong, a trace of surprise flashed in Sun Qingyao’s eyes.
‘She is the one whom the Crown Prince took a fancy to? ’
With waves in his heart, Sun Qingyao began to subconsciously look at the beautiful figure.
‘So unreserved’
The woman showed her fair neck, and the long purple dress with a waist showed her waist and hip line. Although this dress was not out of the ordinary, it was really bold. In addition to her beautiful figure, she also had that beautiful face.
This comparison made Sun Qingyao feel a little uncomfortable. She stood at the door for a long time, staring at the figure for a long time unconsciously.
“Qingyao!”
The girl in a yellow dress at the banquet suddenly rushed in front of Sun Qingyao, and because of this sound, everyone in the hall looked over.
Sun Qingyao suddenly retracted his gaze and put it on his friend.
“Ah, it’s Qing Yao.”
“Isn’t this our first talented girl? Come and come quickly”
Many of the young ladies who had not yet reached the wedding ceremony were accompanied by their first-in-class mothers to the banquet. At this time, several ladies held the handkerchief and waved to Sun Qingyao.
The girl in the yellow dress is the direct daughter of a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. Her surname is Liu and her name is Ruowen.
“Ruowen, are you here so early?!”
Sun Qingyao took Liu Ruowen’s hand and said in surprise.
Liu Ruowen looks petite and cute, her big round eyes are as delicate as two glass balls, and her words and deeds are more playful.
Liu Ruowen shook her hand and pulled Sun Qingyao’s hand, then turned her head in the direction of the purple figure.
“I haven’t heard that the woman is here yet, I just want to come over earlier to see the beauty of that woman.”
After speaking, Liu Ruowen pouted in disdain,
“I heard that she is 20 years old, and she came from the wild land in Saibei. It looks very vulgar at first glance.”
Because of its northerly geographical location and close to the Hu people in the north, Saibei has a particularly close business relationship with the Hu people.
Because of the leadership effect of the Xie Family Women’s Army, the women in Saibei became bolder in their clothes and preferences, which was very different from the women in the capital.
Sun Qingyao’s eyes flashed, but she didn’t make a sound.
Holding her hand, she sat next to Liu Ruowen to her seat.
Sun Qingyao and Liu Ruowen are regular guests at major banquets in the capital, so the eldest princess also arranged for the two of them when they went down.
By this time, most of the people at the banquet had already arrived.
Xie Yu looked at the man sitting across from him, his expression slightly condensed.
This man should be in the age of weak crown, with a thin and tall figure, wearing an elegant cyan long gown, a jade crown on his head, delicate eyebrows, fair skin, and a gentle and jade-like son in every move.
Because of his good looks and temperament, Xie Yu has seen the four girls hand him sachets with his own eyes.
He drank the fine wine in one gulp, the woman looked like a man, her left hand rested on the table, her right hand was holding the wine glass in a dashing manner, looking at the man without a trace, she quickly browsed the list of noble ladies and aristocratic family sons in Beijing in her mind.
‘Is it possible, this is the second son of the Xi family – Xiqiu? ’
Xiqiu is known as the “Jade Beauty”. His skin is as white as jade, his eyes are moving like jade, and his face is carved like jade. He should be this young master.
A few days ago, this little boy got the top spot in the Qiu Wei high school entrance examination, and he really enjoyed a while.
Xiqiu had been observing the woman across from him for a long time, and he unconsciously said in his heart: Is this the person the prince likes?
The daughter of Xie Guogong was invited by the prince to live in the prince’s mansion. The prince even refused the daughter of Jincheng’s mansion for her. The whole city knows this fact.
Xiqiu stared at the woman and unconsciously clenched the wine glass in her hand and drank a few more glasses.
Xie Yu sat in the seat leisurely, the reason why he noticed him was because the man stared at her for a long time for no reason, and then Gu Zi shook his head and drank.
Those who didn’t know it thought she was a scumbag.
Xie Yu turned his eyes away, and when he saw the pink-skirted woman at the bottom of the Flowing Water Banquet went out alone, he was a little excited.
“Princess Shengle is here—”
The eunuch’s shrill voice suddenly resounded in the hall, and Xie Yu followed the crowd to stand up and salute the man who came from the back light.
“Okay, get up.”
The young princess’ voice sounded above Xie Yu’s head.
Xie Yu glanced at the gold embroidered shoes that had stopped slightly in front of her, and continued to bow her head calmly.
After the lord put his clothes on the throne and landed on the throne, the table began in earnest.
Sizhu Yale suddenly started playing, but did not hide the scream.
“what-“
“Miss-“
The eldest princess was not very happy to see Xie Yu, but when she heard an abrupt shout, she immediately scolded coldly: “Above the banquet, who is shouting!”
Suddenly, a maid came to the door, and quickly walked over to the maid in front of the eldest princess and whispered in her ear.
The people below whispered, “What’s wrong?”
“Who knows?”
“Hey, why is Miss Ai missing?”
When the eldest princess in the seat knew what was going on, her complexion turned blue.
“Tell her to change her clothes and go home, a good banquet will add a bit of bad luck!”
Xie Yu hooked her lips and smiled, and her drinking posture became more heroic.
“His Royal Highness, the eldest princess, today is so elegant, why not ask people to read a few poems!”
This is the popular man in front of Sheng Le, the young son of the Lu family. He has just been weak this year. He has always been a good player at banquets.
“Splashing monkeys! If you can, then ask Qingyao to read a few songs. She has a reputation as the number one talented girl.”
Sheng Le covered his mouth and laughed a few times, and then Sun Qingyao, who was in the middle of the flowing water banquet, stood up gracefully.
Xie Yu also noticed Sun Qingyao at this time.
The woman was thin, with a straight back, and there was a hint of arrogance on her face.
This arrogance may be derived from the cultural heritage of the first talented woman in the capital.
But apart from these, this woman is not eye-catching.
Xie Yu thought.
“Today is a good banquet, and the joy is difficult to accompany. The zheng is played and the new sounds are wonderful. (1
This is about today’s Silk.
Xie Yu nodded slowly, acceptable, but peaceful.
Her slow nodding movement attracted the attention of the young master Lu just now, the man rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and immediately ran to the eldest princess and said a few words in his ear.
Xie Yu’s hand was still playing the rhythm with the music, and he didn’t notice the movement there at all. After Sun Qingyao pondered for a while, he seemed to feel that the poem was peaceful, and recited a few lines: “Fresh fat is forbidden when it belongs to…
Wu Zhongsheng in literature and history, Qun Yan is now Wang Yang.
Knowing the land of the vassal, how can it be said that the wealth is strong. (2
“Okay”
There was a sudden thunderous applause in the hall, Xie Yu raised her brows and stopped speaking.
Because she was so dazzling today, many people noticed this action, but she herself didn’t react until Princess Shengle called her name.
“Xie Guogong’s family, but Xie Yu?”
Suddenly calling his name, the hand that was reclining on the desk was slowly retracted, the purple sleeves were slightly straightened, the exposed wrist, the woman threw the melon seed skin around her mouth, and got up neatly.
There was silence in the hall, Xie Yu cupped his hands and said, “Your Highness.”
The eldest princess frowned again, “Who did you learn this etiquette from?”
“This minister is one of the commanders of the Xie Family’s Women’s Army. He is currently serving as a third-rank commander in the court. When meeting a noble lady in the court, it is enough to perform official rites in accordance with court laws.”
“The Women’s Army?”
Seeing her doubts, Xie Yu withdrew her hand, straightened her body, and said lightly:
“General Xie Yunying founded the Women’s Army more than 200 years ago. When the Qi Dynasty was established, he had the merit of following the dragon. Under the leadership of the female general Xie Yunying, the territory of the Qi Dynasty was expanded by about two times. After the success, the Xie family moved to Saibei. The defense has been on the border line of the Qi Dynasty for two hundred years.”
“When the minister was in his prime, he led the Women’s Army to resist the aggression of the barbarians in the north. Four years ago, the minister’s father, Xie Guogong, handed over the entire Xie family to the minister. After this is done, you should return to Saibei to continue serving.”
The last sentence is very ambiguous. After all, the word “should” does not mean that she must return to Saibei.
Therefore, compared to the arrogance of these literati, Xie Yu has more confidence to walk in the court. She is a court official from a noble family, and now the prince is very envious. Who wants to move her will have to weigh her up.
The eldest princess was silent for a moment. The young master Lu, who had been moved just now, looked unsteady, but the eldest princess had already spoken, “In that case, why don’t you read a few poems to cheer everyone up.”
Cheers, the word is used delicately.
Xie Yu’s expression remained unchanged, and he opened his mouth and said:
“Smoke in the cold water and the moon in the sand, and moored in Qinhuai at night near the restaurant. The businesswoman does not know the hatred of subjugation of the country, but she still sings the flower of the backyard across the river. (3
The author has something to say:
(1) Anonymous excerpted from Baidu “Today’s Good Banquet”
(2) The poem comes from Wei Yingwu’s “The Collected Works of Swallows in the Rain of Qunzhai” (3) The poem comes from “Parking in Qinhuai” by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu
The author’s current literacy level is too low. If there is time, he will think about putting his own poems on it. I’m sorry, everyone.
In fact, if it is a normal banquet, rushing out and reciting “the businesswoman does not know the hatred of the country” is very offending and out of date, but our heroine knows this, just to achieve her own purpose, after all, she has her own ‘s career, and is not afraid of offending these ladies and gentlemen.
