The Crown Prince’s New Female Staff - Chapter 39

The fact that Xie Yu was going to attend the Spring Banquet was spread by Qi Liangye. She is now the prince concubine appointed by the prince, not to mention that her mother’s family is powerful, and she is still a high-ranking official of the third rank in the court.

On the day of the Spring Festival Banquet, Sun Qingyao and Xiqiu attended the banquet together.

The woman wears a moon-white cross-collar cloud satin shorts on the upper body, covered with a red brocade robe, and a hexagonal plum blossom pink skirt on the lower body. She wears a dark pink cloak. Jasper hairpins and silver ornaments, a dark blue embroidered butterfly purse hung around his waist, and lotus boots with gold thread embroidery on his feet.

The dress is not garish, the color is moderate, and the color of the person is complimented. Compared with the past, the slightly shabby clothes she wore to express her integrity should not be too bright and bright.

Looking at it this way, everyone is a little bit charming.

As soon as she entered the door, everyone saw that her brows were shy, and they saw the tall and tall young master behind her.

“Yo, isn’t this Miss Sun, the first talented girl in the capital~”

This joking young lady is a well-known courtesan at banquets in the capital. She recently got married and became a mistress. Sun Qingyao gave her a blushing look.

“That’s what you would say.”

While covering her mouth and snickering, she swayed slightly, showing her fiance behind her.

Xiqiu’s outfit matched hers today, and it was suspected of being a couple. Everyone’s eyes were sharp, and they saw the same dark blue embroidered butterfly purse hanging on his waist as Sun Qingyao.

“Yo, it’s different when you’re engaged. When will our young master Yu be able to wear this kind of daughter’s stuff!”

The young son of the Ren family led the crowd to cheer, and the hall was instantly lively.

Before Xie Yu entered the room, he heard laughter and laughter inside. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and opened the curtain with one hand to see the smiles of everyone.

Her laughter was fragmented as she entered, but the next moment compliments flooded in.

“I’ve seen Mr. Xie-“

“Thank you sir-“

“Well, Miss Xie-“

The young masters and sons in the male seats all stood up and bowed to her, while the ladies and ladies in the female seats also squatted down and saluted her.

All of a sudden, the dark crowd in the room lowered their heads.

Xie Yu didn’t say a word, and they didn’t dare to get up.

The woman raised her eyebrows again, “Everyone is well, everyone is polite.”

She is still wearing a long black slim dress today, with a purple long body armor, a ruby ​​pendant around her ear, and a ruby ​​necklace around her neck. The waist is a silver brocade belt, and the fine braids on the head still look very different.

Simple and elegant, not as gorgeous as the usual court clothes when she went to court, but she stood there, making people fearless for no reason, giving birth to an unfathomable aura out of thin air.

When everyone looked up again, they saw that Sun Qingyao had blessed Xie Yu with a blessed body, and said softly, “I have seen Mr. Xie.”

“I have seen Miss Sun.”

Her impression of this group of female relatives and nobles only stayed at the stage of luxury, and the only face she felt familiar was Sun Qingyao.

Although it was not particularly pleasant with her, it did not prevent Xie Yu from nodding and saying hello to her.

And everyone was surprised for a moment when they looked at the familiar appearance of the two.

The grandmother in the front hall approached Xie Yu respectfully, “Miss Xie, this old servant will lead the way for you.”

Then he led Xie Yu to a high place.

Xiqiu’s eyes darkened, “Qingyao, let’s sit down too.”

Sun Qingyao smiled sweetly and took the man’s hand to her seat.

After Princess Shengle received the news that someone was coming, she called in the housekeeper,

“arranged?”

“Don’t worry, princess, the maid you’re looking for is seriously ill and won’t be able to live right away.”

Only then did the eldest princess breathe a sigh of relief, holding the handkerchief and patting her chest with palpitations,

“It’s good to do it, it’s good to do it.”

“It’s still early, you don’t have to worry, just go to the front yard when everyone arrives.”

After the beginning of spring, the sun in the morning became much warmer. The eldest princess arranged the time in the afternoon. Now that the time is not up, she can still take a beauty sleep.

Immediately told the steward to retire, and went into the inner room to rest.

Xie Yu sat on the seat and poured a glass of wine, drinking by himself, while bored, thinking about military affairs in Saibei.

The war was imminent, and she really didn’t want to get involved in these boring banquets, but after all, she was in the capital, so she still had to have the proper etiquette.

Many women from the general’s family have admired her for a long time, and immediately walked towards her with their wine glasses.

“Thank you sir-“

The women were stunned for a moment at the same time, and the four of them looked at each other in surprise with the wine glasses in their hands.

Xie Yu turned around and saw that none of the four dared to take a step forward, and took the lead in getting up with a glass of wine and walking in front of them.

“How many names do you dare to ask?”

If you want to make friends, you always have to introduce yourself first, and the women smile happily.

“My father is Li Weiran, the battalion commander of the firearms battalion. His official position is the third rank. I am the eldest daughter of the family, Li Youran.”

The daughters of several generals should dress more concisely. Xie Yu looked at them and talked a little bit.

“Can you all read “Qizelun”?”

“Skip one or two,”

“My parents don’t like it, and I don’t dare to read it.”

“I have read the whole book, but I can’t see the depth.”

Although the daughter of the general’s family is not limited to reading “Nvde”, “Nvjie”, “Three Cards and Five Changs”, etc., her knowledge is still too narrow.

“Most of the rules in the world are made by men, and women live mostly hard,”

Knowing the situation of a few people, Xie Yu couldn’t help but sigh, “In our Saibei, women should be happier,”

Several people immediately looked over curiously, “According to rumors, Saibei is guarded by the Women’s Army?”

“That’s natural. The ancestor of our Xie family, Xie Yunying, is a daughter. She created her own exercises and multiplied the power of women to fight the enemy. Since then, the Xie family’s army has almost only recruited female soldiers, but the number of men is rare.”

“Some elderly women can’t see their men all day long, and sometimes they go to the men’s barracks to take a peek. We don’t have as many restraints as Ganjing.”

Thinking of his hometown, Xie Yu couldn’t help but frown.

“Miss Xie is about to be the head of the East Palace, won’t you miss your hometown?”

“Hahaha.”

Xie Yu laughed suddenly, she folded her arms in front of her chest and felt at ease, “I am now the head of the Xie family, how could I easily leave Saibei? After getting married, I am still a frontier military minister of the Qi Dynasty, and I cannot miss family affairs. “

Sun Qingyao heard her hearty laughter and couldn’t help but scolded Xiqiu.

Xiqiu frowned slightly, “What is this for?”

“Miss Xie still wants to go back to Saibei after getting married?”

The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that it would be better to go back, it is best not to come back for a lifetime.

But he frowned again, “How can a woman show her face after getting married, it’s really not good.”

Sun Qingyao suddenly felt that the wine in her mouth was a little lighter, and she said with a light expression: “How can a man criticize a woman behind her back? You are really not a gentleman.”

Xiqiu was annoyed, “You were the one who started the talk first.”

Sun Qingyao sneered, “Mr. Xie isn’t making a public appearance, he is dedicating himself to the country, and it’s not like you, who is holding on to his identity.”

I don’t know what’s going on recently. I used to hear these remarks and thought it was justifiable, but now I just think it’s absurd.

Xiqiu: “…”

What’s the matter with this woman? He squeezed the glass tightly and said nothing.

Sun Qingyao also knew that she had gone too far, and immediately brought the wine glass to him. As her mother said, the end of her eyes were slightly raised, there was a smile in her eyes, and her cold eyes were also a little charming.

“do not be angry.”

She pushed him gently, and when Xiqiu saw that she was obedient, his anger suddenly disappeared.

He took Sun Qingyao’s wine glass and drank it without saying a word.

Sun Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned slightly and patted his chest.

But Xie Yu was still chatting with the daughters of a group of generals, maybe a few people had a harmonious atmosphere, and the number was still expanding.

Many officials and wives also wanted to come over, but they saw a bunch of daughters of generals here, and the topics they talked about were also off-topic from what they knew.

Many people waved their handkerchiefs and secretly complained,

“Yes, there is nothing to do with us to please this man.”

As soon as these words came out, many people sighed, but some smart people squeezed up.

“When I was young, I followed my grandfather to Saibei several times, hahaha, the scenery of the North Country is really a snowy scene, extremely magnificent…”

Several young people around secretly rolled their eyes, Qi Guogong has never been out of the capital in his life, when has he been to Saibei?

Probably in a dream.

Xie Yu also agreed, but still popularized the customs of Saibei to everyone.

For a time, some girls yearned for Saibei’s bold life argument, and some girls spurned Saibei.

In contrast, the hall was filled with joy and laughter, while the male guest seat was a little depressed.

“My daughter-in-law said that if a man in Saibei dared to take a concubine, he would be chopped into minced meat…”

“Bah, these are all cultural dross. It is only natural for men to marry wives and concubines.”

“Don’t say anything else, the crown prince will definitely take a concubine in the future!”

Tucao to scoff, scold to scold.

In addition to the turmoil of the imperial examination reform in the imperial court, the most exciting thing about this banquet was the impact of the values ​​and worldviews established by the Three Cards and Five Standing Committees, as well as the relationship between people and society.

The more and more tones revealed by Xie Yu were widely sung after the banquet, such as “women’s self-rescue”, “ideological liberation”, etc., and even about the many advantages and disadvantages of the imperial examination, which opened the door for many women who had talked to her. political perspective.

These are all small buds of the political pattern change of the Qi Dynasty.

Sun Qingyao also participated in the discussion later, but she wisely did not discuss these matters with Xiqiu this time.

Because she suddenly found out that maybe this is what Xie Yu called the “thought space”.

Women need to have their own ideological space, and do not need to be recognized by men, but their own ideological space.

Xie Yu said that this is the most basic dignity of everyone as an independent individual.

It took nearly an hour for the eldest princess to come over from the beauty sleep, but no one criticized this.

Because the Spring Festival banquets over the years are mainly based on drinking. If you don’t drink until midnight every year, you won’t be disbanded.

Therefore, people who like to liven up will come early in the morning to save up work.

But at the banquet, if the wine is drunk hard, it will lose interest. The hot period before the banquet officially starts is called “saving work”.

Talk about some gossip, play some fun games, talk to friends, and time flies.

After the venue heated up, as soon as the host arrived, the banquet officially began.

The author has something to say:

So, in fact, you should be able to see the role of Sun Qingyao.
