Chapter 415 A Birthday Banquet with Thousands of Palace Lanterns
Chapter 415 Birthday Banquet with Thousands of Palace Lanterns
On a summer night, thousands of palace lanterns were lit in the Ouchi Zenin Palace in Kyoto to congratulate the Queen Mother on her longevity.
Zhao Shun led Shen Qinglan out of the carriage. The nobles from the surrounding aristocratic families saw this and started talking in low voices.
"Look, that is the Regent Princess Shen Qinglan. She is really as beautiful as a flower and jade, with beautiful eyes, like a fairy coming to the world."
"The Princess Regent's clothes are really beautiful, and the sway she is wearing seems to be made of precious stones and beads. It is so precious and luxurious, but it is not tacky at all."
"Her shoes are also so beautiful, with moon-white brocade and gold embroidery. Not many noble people in the entire Kyoto city can afford to wear them."
"What's so great about gold embroidery? I'm from a merchant background, and even if I become the regent princess, I'm just a sparrow flying on a branch."
"But the Princess Regent is not only beautiful, but her family has a fortune of millions, which is as rich as the country. We can only fall behind."
"Oh, how can you be a member of a noble family of civil servants if you are covered in the smell of copper?"
"Even if you don't have much ink in your stomach, no matter how much wealth you have, it will be in vain."
Shen Qinglan glared at him, "What did you say! It's so annoying..."
Seeing Zhao Shun and Shen Qinglan walking side by side, jealousy arose in her heart.
After Mu Xingze and Luo Zirui left, Nanyang Marquis Jiang Zheling sighed.
"Zirui is here too, Xingze, you go first." Mrs. Nanyang Hou said.
If she hadn't been too aloof back then, the position of Princess Regent would have been hers.
Mu Xingze helped his mother out of the car and turned around to see Shen Qinglan and Zhao Shun.
Marquis Nanyang walked up to her and asked, "Now that Xingze is depressed all day long, is your wife regretting her original decision?"
Except for the current regent, she could no longer tolerate any other man in her eyes.
Zhao Shun smiled and said, "Then, will the princess make it up to me tonight?"
"How dare we pretend to be the regent princess? This jasper hairpin on the princess's head is of excellent color. This is the first time I have seen it. I wonder where the princess found such a good hairpin?" asked a lady.
Zhao Shun is now just dazzled by Shen Qinglan's appearance and wealth. After all, there is still a place for her in his heart.
The lady's expression changed and she said again: "The prince really cherishes the princess."
Suddenly, infinite hatred arose in her heart.
Shen Qinglan sat down and said: "I don't know this, and I don't know where the prince found such a good hairpin. He only gave it to me two days ago."
"What's the use of regrets? I just hope... our Xingze can cheer up. I heard that my brother is staying at a house in Linchuan. I want to go over and have a look some other time." Mrs. Hou said.
After everyone congratulated the Queen Mother on her birthday, the banquet began, and the dancers followed closely.
"Xingze, you are here!"
Her elaborate outfit was not as good as the priceless jade hairpin on Shen Qinglan's head.
"My princess is so virtuous, I am very pleased."
"If you like it, I will ask the craftsmen in the palace to make dozens of them later and hang them on the gravel roadside near Jialanju." Zhao Shun said.
…
Zhuo Zihong was also invited to the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Banquet. Originally General Zhuo did not allow her to go out, but she cried and begged in front of her grandmother for a long time and promised not to cause trouble before she was able to attend the banquet.
After a few dances ended, the Queen Mother said: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, although today is the birthday of the Ai family, you don't have to be restrained and just enjoy yourself. By the way, Princess Regent, you don't see us often, so I would like to take advantage of my birthday today.
I’d like to take this opportunity to get to know you all.”
After Zhao Shun said that, he held Shen Qinglan's hand.
Mu Xingze smiled bitterly, "Okay, mother, I understand."
Zhao Shun and Shen Qinglan walked towards the main hall together. Looking at the palace lanterns on both sides, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, these lanterns are so beautiful..."
"That's all, if you do this again, I will go find my sisters-in-law and go away together and ignore you." Shen Qinglan said.
"yes."
Luo Zirui walked towards Mu Xingze and saluted Nanyang Hou and his wife, "My nephew has met Nanyang Hou and Mrs. Hou."
Shen Qinglan sat next to Ye Shuyue and Zhao Anning, feeling much more at ease.
"Today, many officials are present. I'm afraid...someone is deliberately making things difficult." Shen Qinglan said.
Not far away, He Xiner took a deep breath and looked at her clothes.
When Mrs. Hou saw that he was silent, she asked again: "Xingze, what's wrong with you?"
Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, who can match this kind of love?
Shen Qinglan smiled and said nothing. This guy just wanted to ridicule her background. As long as she said that this hairpin was a gift from Zhao Shun, she would have nothing to say.
Shen Qinglan immediately broke away and whispered: "With so many noble people present, please don't break the rules, Your Majesty."
"That's not necessary. I just feel it's new for a while. Besides, if the craftsmen in the Labor Palace have a bad reputation for you because of the affairs in our palace, the regulations of these palace lanterns are also for the palace alone.
Let’s just wait and see what happens.” Shen Qinglan said.
"What's the rule? I'm holding the hand of my own princess, who dares to say anything?" Zhao Shun said.
Zhao Shun glanced at her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Shen Qinglan stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said generously: "Ladies and ladies, it is a rare opportunity to meet you all. Qinglan has a drink to show her respect."
The pain in Mu Xingze's heart was unspeakable. If his mother hadn't insisted on him marrying Wei Junqiao in order to return to Beijing, their family would never have encountered such a thing. He and Sisi could have been together for the rest of their lives, and their hair grew old.
.Now that he is in such a situation, he can only shed tears of gratitude to Uncle Shun...
"That's all, don't you know Zhenian's temperament yet? Let him be." Nanyang Hou said.
Mrs. Hou followed his gaze and sighed secretly.
After that, she turned her head and ignored him.
"Xingze, our family has not been implicated in the Wei clan's affairs. We all rely on your uncle's help. You have to give your uncle a toast today." Mrs. Nanyang Hou said.
"It's okay, I can handle it myself, and you can't protect me at the main table. As the regent princess, I can't lose your face, nor the face of our Shen family." Shen Qinglan said.

In the Zening Hall, the banquet has been prepared. The male guests are seated in the main hall, while the female relatives are in the side hall.
After saying that, she covered her face with her long sleeves and drained the glass of wine.
"Sisi, are you a little scared?" Zhao Shun asked.
At this time, the carriage from the Nanyang Marquis Mansion also arrived.
"After all, we are so lucky. We have never seen such a good thing before. The princess comes from a wealthy family, so there must be many treasures like this, right?" asked another lady wearing a dark blue brocade dress.
"That's right."
Shen Qinglan only replied two words and said nothing else. She picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine with her second sister-in-law.
The first princess chuckled. These idiots actually wanted to humiliate the Princess Regent. They were really asking for trouble.
