027 Four Banquets in Beijing

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet at Princess Duanmin’s Mansion was held in Beijing.

There are four famous banquets in Beijing, namely the Orange Blossom Banquet at Princess Duanmin's Mansion, the Plum Blossom Banquet at Princess Wei's Mansion, the Peach Blossom Banquet at An Guo Gong's Mansion and the Peony Banquet at the Palace. These four banquets are headed by the Peony Banquet at the Palace.

Peony is considered the king of flowers. Secondly, the peony banquet is often hosted by the queen, so the second banquet is extremely precious.

However, in addition to this peony banquet, the other three banquets can also be regarded as the most prosperous times in Beijing. Whether it is Princess Duanmin, Princess Wei, or Duke Anguo, they are all the top nobles in Beijing. For such a feast, everyone is naturally full of enthusiasm.

I really want to show my face there, but the invitation to the banquet is not easy to get.

Any falling tile at the emperor's feet can hit two or three noble people. If you don't have enough status, of course you can't participate.

The Li family had never had the opportunity to participate in such high-end flower-viewing banquets before. But last year, due to the change of throne and the turmoil in the court, those flower banquets were not held. In March this year, Shangguan Hao, the former King Huai, ascended the throne as the new emperor.

The year name is Qitai.

As the younger sister of King Huai, Princess Duan Min naturally had a higher status. In order to show the new emperor's benevolent government and bring peace to the world, this flower viewing feast naturally had to be held again.

Therefore, this year's orange blossom banquet was grander than in previous years. When Mrs. Li received the gilded name card, her face turned red with excitement.

Since she took care of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion for Dafang, the people who have been relieved are naturally different from before. However, such a large flower appreciation banquet will be attended by even all the noble families in Beijing. Of course, she has never seen it before

of.

In the past, she could only hear about it, but this time she can bring her two daughters to participate. In addition, Qingyu has reached the age of discussing marriage. With such a good opportunity, if she is chosen by a nobleman, it will be a great opportunity.

Soaring into the sky.

"Wei Zi, go to the warehouse and have a look. I remember that there seem to be a few pieces of soft tobacco, which were taken out to make clothes for a few girls, just in time for the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet." Li took a deep breath and put some

After suppressing his excitement, he began to give instructions, "Qingyu's skin is white and she wants the red one. Qingyuan is still young, so the bright yellow one is fine. Let's give the blue one to the second girl."

When she mentioned Qingluan, the joy on Li's face dimmed a bit. She didn't want to take her with her or make clothes for her. However, the title card said Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and those soft smokes were also from the Marquis Mansion.

Speaking of the things in the warehouse, Qingluan's second room was still occupied by them.

"Yes, madam, I will go and do it right now." Wei Zi responded.

Li's companion, Nanny Jin, stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Li, and said regretfully: "The soft cigarettes were rewarded by the palace last time, and there are only three pieces left in total.

It’s such a pity.”

Aunt Jin is Li's confidant, and she is very clear about Li's thoughts. Although Li is kind to Wei Qingluan on the face, she wants to destroy her in her heart. She will make new arrangements for three people equally.

The purpose of Yizi was to silence outsiders, and the pity she spoke of was naturally about Wei Qingluan.

If Qingluan heard these words, he would have laughed angrily. It would be a pity for her to take what belongs to her and use it herself.

"But, madam, aren't you just looking for an opportunity to let everyone know who the second girl is? This chrysanthemum viewing banquet is so grand. If something happens to the second girl, I'm afraid she won't have to stand up for the rest of her life." Aunt Jin
