Murong Xian had already been relaxed about Su Fu's little trick, and didn't care about her eccentric words. If she was even angry about this, her mother-in-law would have been pissed to death by her mother-in-law.
She just chuckled when she heard this and said: "It's wrong for Fourth Sister to say this. Today is a banquet hosted by the Princess. Naturally, everyone in the palace who received the invitation can come. Fourth Sister is the third young lady of Prince Zhao's Palace, so naturally she can come." .”
When Su Fu heard this, she felt surprisingly comfortable. She no longer had any thoughts of arguing with Murong Xian, so she snorted and turned away.
Murong Xian didn't care about Su Fu's attitude. He smiled and took Murong Ning's hand and walked inside: "Sister, let's go to see the princess together."
So the three of them were led by a maid to the courtyard where the banquet was held.
In order to hold this banquet, Qin Yuzhu specially decorated a courtyard of the palace. It was a spring day. At this time, flowers were blooming in the courtyard, and the flowers were colorful. The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of various flowers, and there were butterflies and bees flying around collecting nectar. .
There are many wooden tables and tables in the courtyard. On the tables, there are pastries, tea snacks, dried fruits, candied seasonal fruits and other food. There are a dazzling array of things on the tables.
If you want to drink, some fruit wine is also prepared. The fruit wine is not strong in taste but sweet, so ladies can drink a few glasses.
Regardless of the incident involving King An, the place was less lively, and there were not many people eating, drinking, and chatting. Occasionally, one or two familiar ladies sat together and talked quietly, about how much money they would donate. things.
Although there were many people in the scene, it was also very quiet. Occasionally, whispers could be heard. I could only hear the sound, but I didn't know what was said.
Several other wives of minor officials were sitting in the corner. Their faces were not very good-looking. They were not from a high family background, and their husbands had an average status. Although their lives were not bad, they were still tight.
If they were asked to donate, it would only be twelve or eighty taels, and they could still get it, but if it was one hundred, two, one thousand taels, they really wouldn't be able to get it.
But if you donate a small amount of 12 or 8 taels in front of so many noble ladies in the Imperial City, you may be looked down upon or laughed at by the ladies present.
It's okay to make fun of them, but they are afraid of leaving a bad impression and delaying their husband's future, which would be bad.
You guys look at me, I look at you, they all feel uncomfortable sitting there as if they are being bitten by bugs.
When Murong Ning and the other three came in, Princess Ming was sitting in front of the wooden table talking to the people next to her. Sitting next to her were Princess Huaihe, Mrs. Pingyuan Hou and Su Ling. Below them were everyone Madam.
Princess Sui was pregnant with a child, so it was normal for Su Ling, the concubine, to not come to such a banquet. However, Su Ran, dressed in white, was sitting in a particularly conspicuous position next to her.
At this time, all the ladies in the garden were dressed in various colors. It can be said that they were like the flowers in the courtyard, all colorful, but Su Ran's white clothes, among the colorful flowers , it is really conspicuous.
Su Ran was dressed in a white man's flowing robe, with a jade hairpin on his head to fasten a fringed bun. He looked a bit like a romantic young man in the Western Wei Dynasty. He looked handsome and elegant, just like an immortal from the world.
Young princes in the Western Wei Dynasty like to wear white and apply powder. They feel handsome, elegant, and carefree, like immortals in the sky. However, in the Eastern Zhao Dynasty, men and women do not wear white. In the hearts of the Dong Zhao people, white means original work. If an elder in the family has passed away, the younger generation must express his condolences before wearing it.
Of course, people in white will stay at home, but they will move around to avoid bringing bad luck to the other party.
White cannot be worn casually.
Therefore, Su Ran was sitting in the banquet wearing all white, and many people were already looking at her, pointing and whispering.
But Su Ran seemed not to notice. She sat there with her back straight, one hand on her knees and the other holding a wine glass. There was a contemptuous smile in her eyes, which made everyone feel drunk. It means waking up.
Murong Xian entered the courtyard and looked up to see Su Ran, who was dressed in all white. His face immediately darkened: "Su Ran, what are you wearing? Go change quickly!"
After all, Su Ran was a girl from the Jinning Palace, and she was a bloodline of the family. She was dressed in white, and she could be cursing her parents and elders in the hall.
"Change it, change it right away."
Su Ran Liangliang raised her eyes and glanced at Murong Xian. Seeing her jumping up and down in anger, she laughed softly and looked disdainfully: "What does it have to do with you?"
Murong Xian quickly walked to Su Ran's table with cold eyes: "You are actually going too far. Will you change it?"
Su Ran gently placed the tea cup in her hand on the table, then raised her eyes: "I won't change it."
"you......"
"Tsk." Su Ran sneered, "I said Mrs. Su, why are you angry? I'm afraid Mrs. Su doesn't remember. My family has kicked me out of the house before, and I am not a descendant of the family. Since So, what clothes do I wear, what does it have to do with the house?"
When Murong Xian heard this, she was immediately speechless. Even so, as the daughter-in-law of the Su family, she naturally could not tolerate Su Ran being so disrespectful. She turned to look at Qin Yuzhu.
"Princess, what do you mean by this? Is it that people from the Jinning Palace are not welcome? If you really don't welcome people, just say so. Why bother to do such a thing again? I, the Jinning Palace, am not a shameless person. generation."
Although in her opinion, the two elders in the Jinning Palace are old, and none of their descendants are successful. They are hesitant in doing things and don't want to get involved in anything. They are afraid of this and that, but they are not stupid.
Su Ran is now considered a member of Prince Ming's Palace. She is sitting here dressed in all white. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Prince Jinning's Palace?
If Qin Yuzhu, Princess Ming, really doesn't care, she can throw away her sleeves and leave now, and no one can make a mistake.
Qin Yuzhu looked embarrassed and unhappy: "Mrs. Su, please be patient. I'll let her change her clothes."
In fact, Su Ran came halfway. Qin Yuzhu had also talked about her clothes before, but Su Ran said that for the immediate effect, it was best for her to dress like this.
Although Su Ran was a cheat at times, some of her ideas and strategies did accomplish a lot for Prince Ming. Qin Yuzhu was not sure whether it was a cheat or really beneficial, so she had to admit it.
Unexpectedly, Murong Xian was angry when he saw Su Ran's clothes.
"Mr. Su, go change your clothes." Qin Yuzhu closed her eyes and took a breath.
Su Ran glanced at Qin Yuzhu indifferently, her eyebrows were contemptuous, she reached out and poured herself another glass of wine, and drank it slowly.
"No change."
