Chapter 19 Banquet

The next day, Princess Heyi came to Yanhuo with a newly obtained pure white kitten, "Xiaoxiao, this is a meat ball. Meat ball, this is a Xiaoxiao." Princess Heyi grabbed the kitten's left front paw and shook it at Yanhuo.

Yan Hu's mouth twitched, worthy of being the name given by the foodie, "Why are you here today?"

"The emperor's grandmother asked me to go to the palace to study, and asked me to choose the attendant. I want to choose you." Princess Heyi took out a piece of jerky meat from her purse, took a bite, and stuffed the rest into the mouth of the meat ball.

"Heyi, are we still friends?" Yan Huo asked angrily.

Princess Heyi widened her eyes, "Of course, we are good friends, loyal friends."

"Then you still hurt me like this!" Yan Huo didn't want to go to the palace to study.

"Hey, hey, we are good friends, of course we have to share the joys and sorrows. I want to learn this and that, how can you live happily alone?" Princess Heyi smiled sly.

"Is it still time to break off diplomatic relations now?" Yan Huo asked with a sad face.

"You want to break off your relationship with me? You bad Xiaoxiao." Princess Heyi threw away the meat ball and rushed over, pressing Yan Huo so hard that he almost caught up.

Yan Huo said with difficulty: "You go on for me."

"If you can't go on, say, have you broken off your ties with me?" asked Princess Heyi.

Yan Huo pulled out his hand and pinched her neck. The two little girls rolled into a ball on the couch, and the little white cat was under the couch, meowing, as if helping the two cheer.

After Princess Heyi left, Yan Hu went to find Princess Nanping and said that Princess Heyi wanted to choose her as a attendant, "Mom, how can I not go?" She asked her to get up at the tutelage at the time of Mao Shichu. Her weak body couldn't stand it. Even if she could, she wouldn't want to live the miserable days when she got up earlier than a chicken and slept later than a dog in her third year of high school. She didn't want to live any more.

"Of course." Princess Nanping smiled and touched her head, "Heyi is a childish temperament and still wants to play. The Queen and Princess Qin will not agree." Yan Tongzhu is already with the grandson in the Yan family, and Princess Heyi will not have the name of Yan Hu on the list of attendants.

Yan Huo was relieved.

Three days later, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan took Yan Qin and Yan Xiang to Princess Ruining's house for a banquet. Princess Ruining's identity was there. Even though she knew her intentions, the people who received the invitation still had to support her. Even the Crown Princess gave the princess face and went to the banquet.

"Sixth sister, what are you thinking?" Yan Qin saw that Yan Xiang was thinking.

Yan Xiang smiled and shook his head, lied casually, "I didn't think of anything, I was just a little nervous." At this banquet in his previous life, Zhao Jinyue, the granddaughter of Duke Cheng Guo, fell into the water and was rescued by Tang Qingshui, the third son of King Jiujiang. Will it happen in this life? Will she stop it?

"Don't be nervous, I'll be with you." Yan Qin smiled.

Yan Xiang smiled. The marriage between Duke Cheng and Prince Jiujiang was considered a match, not to mention that she didn't know how to stop it. Then let this happen just like in her previous life.

When he arrived at the Princess' Mansion, Yan Xiang lifted the curtain and looked out. On the vermilion gate, there was a copper nail as the size of a bowl. There was a large stone lion on each side. On the plaque, the dragon and phoenix danced, and said the five big words "Imperially built the Princess' Mansion". The servant stepped forward and led the carriage. He walked in through the corner gate. He walked about ten feet to the Chuhuamen, got off the carriage, and changed to the Princess' Mansion's sedan chair.

Looking at the flowers and the magnificent princess's house, Yan Xiang clenched his fists and married the grandson. She must marry the grandson. Today she will perform well and leave a good impression on the princess. Princess Duanning smiled and said, "I got the four couplets and four seasons pictures a few days ago. I will ask you ladies to appreciate the paintings and write poems to help you enjoy the elegant atmosphere. Choose a season and write one song, and a limited time of incense."

As expected, like in the previous life, I admired the painting poem. A bright light flashed in Yan Xiang's eyes and the corners of his lips were slightly bent.

The girls admired the paintings and thought about how to write poems.

The time for a stick of incense passed quickly, and everyone was chanting poems. The ladies hesitated. Yan Xiang stood up and said, "I am not talented, I am willing to throw away the bricks and attract jade!"

Princess Duanning smiled and said, "Miss Yan Liu has a commendable courage, so let's start with you."

"Thank you, Princess." Yan Xiang bowed and bowed, and then recited the poem she had prepared long ago, "The spring breeze first spreads the plum blossoms in the garden, the cherry apricots and pears bloom one after another. The shepherd's flowers and elm pods are deep in the village, and the spring breeze is also said to me."

This poem is written very lively and lively, with a faint ambition. Not only did Princess Duanning praise her, but the Crown Prince's concubine also glanced at her. Yan Xiang was secretly happy and turned his eyes to look at the eldest daughter of Xiangzhong Marquis' Mansion and Sun Dongmei, the fourth daughter of Qiao County Bo Mansion. Dingxiang was the concubine of the grandson in his previous life, and Sun Dongmei was the concubine of the grandson, but they were not favored. After the grandson ascended the throne, Dingxiang only got a concubine, while Sun Dongmei was just a noble concubine and had no descendants. He did not threaten Yan Hu, who had two sons and one daughter. It would be fine if Yan Hu could suppress them, and Yan Xiang raised the corners of his lips.

The paintings and poems were soon over, and everyone moved to the flower hall. After the banquet, the wives went to the opera, and the ladies were wandering in the garden. Just like in the previous life, Zhao Jinyue fell into the pond and was rescued by Tang Qingshui. As for whom? Everyone had their own ideas, but Yan Xiang was more inclined to the Duke Cheng Mansion to plot against the Jiujiang Prince's Mansion. Zhou, the current Duke Cheng's second wife, was the sister of Zhou Xianfei. The King of Chu had the ambition to seize the throne, and Zhao Zhou also wanted his biological son to seize the position of Duke of the original wife. Furthermore, to win over the Jiujiang Prince's Mansion, it would be of great help to the King of Chu to seize the throne. If the King of Chu could ascend to the throne, then Zhao Zhou's plan would naturally succeed.

"You need to take this as a warning. If you dare to do something that would humiliate your family, don't blame the old woman for being ruthless. I would rather let you die than let you be embarrassed." Mrs. Yan seriously warned her granddaughters. The matter of the Princess of Chu has only faded in recent years, and Mrs. Yan does not want to cause trouble again. The reputation of the daughter of the Yan family cannot withstand repeated destruction. "If you use such a disgraceful means to make a good life. If you suffer, others will only say that you deserve it. Do you hear it clearly?" The King of Chu has so many concubines, and this shows how the Princess of Chu lives. If she hadn't given birth to the only son of the King of Chu, she would be afraid she would die.

"I heard it clearly." Several granddaughters responded honestly. Even if they had some fantasies, they were frightened and dispelled by Mrs. Yan's words. Marriage is important, but you have to have the life to marry!

When Mrs. Yan saw that several girls were scared and looked deserted, she quickly changed the topic and said, "It's the Chinese Valentine's Day in a few days. It's such an important day. Second and third girls, do you think about what kind of flower melon to carve?"

"Second girl and third girl, you must not be careless in this first year, you must be good at it." Mrs. Yan said solemnly.

The Chinese Valentine's Day is also known as the Qiqiao Festival, the Daughter's Day, the Qiaoqiao Festival, the Qiaoxi Festival, and the Double Seven. Women will worship the moon and beg for good luck on this day, pray for blessings and wishes, and make other women, and they will also carve melons to send them to their in-laws' home to show their cleverness.

Yan Qi and Yan Zhi wanted to carve melons, Yan Qin, Yan Xiang, Yan Miao and Yan Ying, four of them learned to fry fruits, and the few of them didn't have to do anything for the time being. The emperor issued an oral order that on the day of the beginning of autumn, a competition will be held in the western suburbs.
