Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Chapter 199 Concubine Selection Banquet

At a quarter of an hour, Qiao Jinniang and Lu Chen came out of the dormitory together.

The long-awaited ladies saluted Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang one after another. Although their eyes did not dare to look around during the salute, they saw the hands of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess clasped with their fingers.

Everyone has different feelings in their hearts.

The Crown Prince actually slept with the Crown Princess together until a quarter before leaving the palace...

Qiao Jinniang said: "Get up, the spring has been beautiful recently, and the flowers in the backyard of the East Palace are in full bloom. I can't even enjoy them here alone, so I invite all of you to come and enjoy the flowers, pick flowers and arrange them."

I didn’t expect you all to come so early. "

All the rich ladies expressed their thanks.

Qiao Jinniang asked the palace maid to bring all the daughters to the garden.

The garden of the East Palace covers an area of ​​about 100 acres. There are all kinds of flowers, many of which were prepared before the wedding. They are still in the flowering season and are in full bloom.

Lu Chen accompanied Qiao Jinniang, picked a light pink peony and put it on Qiao Jinniang's bun, "You look really good wearing peonies."

Qiao Jinniang smiled softly and asked, "Is it possible that I don't look good when I don't wear peonies?"

Lu Chen chuckled and said: "It looks good. When she is not wearing peonies, she is the reincarnation of Xi Shi. After wearing peonies, she is the goddess of heaven descending to earth."

Qiao Jinniang stepped on Lu Chen's foot angrily, "Do you need to keep saying these two words every day?"

Those who were closer heard His Highness the Crown Prince's gentle words and saw Qiao Jinniang stepping on Lu Chen's feet, and they all trembled in fear of His Highness the Crown Prince's anger.

Lu Chen said, "I'm not lying to you. I don't believe you are asking these daughters, do you think the Crown Princess is a goddess descended from heaven?"

All the daughters: "..."

They are not Tong Yingying, how dare they say they are not?

All they can do is rack their brains and praise Qiao Jinniang’s beauty!

Several of them have already begun to back down. The prince and princess are not as powerful as the rumors say, just for the Qiao family.

After the two of them left the Crown Princess's bedroom, the only time they let go of their clasped hands was when the Crown Prince was picking flowers.

The prince only had eyes for Qiao Jinniang.

Where is the prince's concubine selection banquet? This was obviously the prince and the princess who came to show their affection to them.

Middle palace.

After Empress Zhou summoned everyone in the Shang Palace Bureau, she heard that Mrs. Wu Guogong and Zhou Sisi came to pay their respects, so she let them in one after another.

Mrs. Wu Guogong said to the queen: "My queen, I came to see you rashly today because Sisi, the child, heard that there was a banquet in the East Palace and did not receive an invitation. She wanted to go to the East Palace to join in the fun."

The Queen smiled and said: "There is nothing to enjoy in the excitement over at the East Palace. How could the Crown Princess's temper be such that she would hold a concubine selection banquet?"

Therefore, Queen Zhou had no intention of going to the East Palace to watch the excitement.

Mrs. Wu Guogong asked the Queen: "My Lady, do you not mind that Your Highness the Crown Princess does not choose a concubine for the Crown Prince?"

"What do you mind? Sister-in-law, as the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. I don't allow Your Majesty to have another woman after me. How can you have different standards for your daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Wu Guogong smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Madam, for making me enlightened."

"Listen to what you said, is this Siming doing something good?"

Mrs. Wu Guogong responded: "Yes, I just found out a few days ago that Siming likes my niece Tong Yingying. I thought Tong Yingying's family background was not worthy of Siming, but you are right. Think about it, my mother-in-law didn't dislike me at all." , I started to dislike my mother’s family.”

Empress Zhou was surprised and said: "Is she the concubine of the former imperial censor who pretended to take credit for the crown princess's achievements a few days ago? Then you might as well dislike her.

Sister-in-law, Siming will be the future Duke Wu. Regardless of his family status, you have to carefully check whether his wife is good or bad in character. "

Mrs. Wu Guogong came to the palace today. One reason was that she wanted to go to the East Palace to play because of her daughter, and the other reason was to hear the queen's views on Siming's marriage.

If the queen doesn't agree, she will be hated by her mother-in-law and will have to beat the couple.

"Yes, Queen."

"Auntie, go to the East Palace to play with the prince's cousin."

Queen Zhou smiled and said, "That's all, let's go to the East Palace to see the excitement."

In the East Palace, many daughters are already feeling uncomfortable.

Coming here to enjoy the flowers, could the prince and the princess go any further?

The princess went to pick thorny rose flowers, but there was no blood yet, so her hand was put in the prince's mouth.

I called the imperial doctor again and again. If the imperial doctor had come a little later, I'm afraid even the red spots would have been cured...

What did they do wrong to deserve such punishment?

After the imperial doctor bandaged Qiao Jinniang, Qiao Jinniang said in Lu Chen's ear: "The acting was a bit too much."

Lu Chen frowned and looked at Qiao Jinniang, "Why do you think you're acting?"

He was obviously really concerned about her and was afraid that she would hurt her hand, but she actually thought it was an act.

Qiao Jinniang caught Lu Chen's gaze. She had planned to show off Lu Chen's love for her at today's banquet.

There are basically three types of women who want to be Lu Chen's concubines. One is like Xie Yun's original Princess Yong, who was raised at home to enter the palace. Such women live their whole lives to enter the palace.

The second type is like Tong Yingying who wants to climb to a high position and impress her family.

The third type is like Fulu, who yearns for the East Palace before. It is also optional, and most of them just join in the fun first.

The show of affection between her and Lu Chen will definitely make most of the wealthy ladies give up the idea of ​​entering the Eastern Palace.

After all, after entering the palace, the prince's love and affection are all on the princess. They have also grown up with thousands of pets in the family, so why should they enter the palace to get this disapproval.

If she didn't give up her idea, she would think of other ways.

She thought she was just acting for these daughters from the beginning, but Lu Chen actually said otherwise...

Qiao Jinniang withdrew her eyes, and when she heard the chamberlain shouting for the Queen's arrival, everyone came to the gate of the East Palace Garden to greet her.

Some wealthy ladies who just thought it was not a concubine selection banquet felt ripples in their hearts again when they heard that the queen was coming.

The queen is here. It seems that today is really not just a flower viewing banquet, but also a concubine selection banquet.

The queen came in and walked up to Qiao Jinniang, "Stop saluting. I heard that I asked the imperial doctor, but my hand is injured? You need to be more careful with the thorns of this rose."

"Thank you for your concern, mother. I'm fine." Qiao Jinniang retracted her hand repeatedly. She was really afraid that others would see that her hand had healed.

The queen said to all the daughters: "I heard that you have a flower arrangement party here, and I am also very interested in flower arrangement. How about we arrange flowers together today and select a leader?"

Zhou Sisi said with a smile: "Okay, aunt, I want to compete too!"

All the ladies were thinking, could it be possible that today’s selection of concubines was based on their ability to arrange flowers?

They all used their special skills to place flowers in porcelain vases.

There are colorful flower arrangements, and there are also artistic flower arrangements with a single flower. The various flower arrangements are dazzlingly beautiful.

Everyone looked at the flower arrangement on the side of the Crown Princess and couldn't help but frowned. The Crown Princess had picked flowers of different colors just now, but now why were there only bare branches left?

Is it possible that she never learned flower arranging in the countryside?

No, the flowers in the vases in the private rooms between Baiwei Pavilion and Zhiwei Pavilion are extremely beautiful. Even if Qiao Jinniang didn't do it herself, she wouldn't have arranged the flowers like this?
