On this day, Concubine Su invited young ladies and young masters from various aristocratic families to a banquet in the palace. In fact, the ladies she invited were all young ladies from aristocratic families who had the ability to catch her eye and were waiting to be married to her.
Similarly, Kangshou Palace also has guests today.
The Queen Mother personally greeted her distant relatives, the Huo family brothers and sisters, who were actually summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother under the decree.
When An Xiyue saw Huo Weixi, surprise appeared in her eyes. Why was he here?
However, when An Xiyue saw a delicate beauty sitting next to her, it became clear.
The Huo family is the ancestral family of the Queen Mother, but since the Queen Mother took the position of Queen Mother, in order to avoid suspicion, she did not support her family to become officials. Although they did not join the officialdom, the Huo family was also the most wealthy family in Yuzhou, with a lot of gold and silver. , the wealth is overwhelming.
These are inseparable from the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother's accounts are very clean, so she is also very respected.
In his previous life, Nangong Hao ascended the throne with the financial support of the Huo family. At the same time, the Huo family also married two daughters into the palace, but it was not the one in front of him.
Huo Sijing, the legitimate daughter of the Huo family, did not expect that in this life, the position of crown prince would be replaced by someone else, and the Queen Mother would also take the initiative.
An Xiyue remained calm and waited on the side obediently.
The Queen Mother said, "Sijing has passed the wedding ceremony this year. Is there anyone who is betrothed to me?" The Queen Mother asked again, knowing full well, would she still bring her into the palace if she was betrothed?
An Xiyue wanted to roll her eyes. She thought Huo Weixi was quite smart. How could he have the heart to push his own sister into the fire pit.
Everyone in Kangshou Palace knew that Chaohua Palace was already singing and dancing, and Concubine Su was selecting various women for the prince to accompany him in the palace.
Only the Huo brothers and sisters don't know.
Without waiting for Huo Sijing to answer, Huo Weixi said respectfully: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, my sister was engaged in a marriage a few years ago, but later she canceled it."
An Xiyue looked at it. This was interesting. After making a reservation and then canceling it, no matter who canceled it, the woman would suffer, just like An Xixiu.
Huo Weixi answered very cleverly. Ever since he knew that the patriarch of the family sent his sister to Kyoto in order to marry the royal family, he felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, they were biological sisters, but they could not disobey the Queen Mother. Due to the pressure from the Queen Mother, they had to enter the palace.
The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, but she couldn't say anything. The Huo family and her were far apart on the outside, but in fact they were very close. The head of the Huo family was the Queen Mother's biological brother.
Huo Weixi was just a side relative of the Huo family, and the two brothers and sisters were brought to the Huo family's main house to raise.
Huo Wei analyzed the brother and sister, one was both civilized and martial, the other was talented and beautiful, and they could be considered as ancestral virtues, so they had such a pair of children. Unfortunately, both parents were short-lived.
An Xiyue's face remained calm, pretending that she didn't know anything, but her heart was so shocked that she almost jumped up. It turned out that Huo Weixi didn't want his sister to climb the prince's tree.
After all, the Huo family is a wealthy family, so naturally every piece of jewelry they wear is exquisite and extraordinary, and some are even produced in the palace. This is a normal "gift" from the Queen Mother.
"I heard that Chaohua Palace is holding a banquet, and the Ai family also wants to join in the fun. Si Jing, please go out with the Ai family for a walk." The Queen Mother said with concern, and gave An Xiyue an unclear look.
What does it mean that An Xiyue knows the Queen Mother? If she is obedient, the Queen Mother will recommend her to be the master. If she is disobedient, there will be many people who want this master.
The Queen Mother took advantage of the fact that Nangong Yuanyi came into the palace today to take her away to make her next move, so that day, the Queen Mother asked her to reply to a letter to Nangong Yuanyi, which probably meant that they agreed on a time and place to meet.
An Xiyue couldn't help but get a headache thinking about the chaos in the palace again today. Why was the Northern Dynasty royal family so restless every day?
An Xiyue knew that Concubine Qing had been preparing for these days and was only waiting for this day.
