1045 The Prime Minister's Mansion Holds a Banquet 2
Since Chen Huai ordered to prepare the New Year banquet, Shen Qingxi began to be completely busy. He looked at the date again and found that the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month was a good day. So the banquet for the Prime Minister's Mansion was scheduled for the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. The date was fixed, and Shen Qingxi was even more careless. He kept busy until the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month.
On the eve of the banquet, Shen Qingxi was still calculating tomorrow's arrangements. She was a female relative and it was difficult to meet male guests tomorrow, but the female relatives were invited by her and the old lady to entertain her. This time, in addition to inviteing the nobles in the capital, Chen Huai also invited two princes who returned to Beijing to report their duties. These two princes were half-brothers of the current emperor. Because they withdrew from the battle for the throne early in the morning, they avoided the fiefdom, so the two families have lived well to this day.
Among these two families, Prince Gong's family is in Lanling and Prince Yu's family is in Mizhou. Tomorrow, there will be female relatives in these two families. In other words, Shen Qingxi wants to entertain the two princesses. This is like facing a great enemy to Yuzhu and others, but for Shen Qingxi, it is a piece of cake. In the past life, these two princesses even knelt on her.
At that time, Chu Qi ascended the throne and changed the dynasties, it was natural that all nations came to pay tribute. These princes on the fiefdom, whether they are of the same clan and different clans, were all under the kingdom. They naturally came to pay tribute to the new emperor and empress. Because these two uncles were prince uncles, the two princes went to the palace to talk to Shen Qingxi several times.
Shen Qingxi explained, "The tea soup for Princess Gong tomorrow must be from Longjing in Mingqian, and it must be three waters. Princess Yu does not eat sweet foods. Don't put rock candy in the pear soup she gave her. Just keep the original taste of the pear. Also, both princesses have the habit of worshiping Buddha, so it's good to light a deep fragrance in the house."
Shen Qingxi has explained all these, but it is not Shen Qingxi who is staring at these details tomorrow, but Yuzhu and other little girls. Therefore, Shen Qingxi still has to give another advice, "The other old ladies and grandmothers are familiar with each other tomorrow, but these two princesses have not returned to Beijing for many years. We must be more alert at that time. And tomorrow, they have the highest status and must not make mistakes."
Yuzhu responded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Miss, I remember it. I heard that there are two princes who are going to enter the capital together."
Shen Qingxi also met the two princes in his previous life, like Prince Yu, and Prince Gong was a handsome man. She nodded, "At the beginning, they were afraid that they would come in to pay homage to their grandmother and remind the little girls outside to not panic."
Yuzhu responded again. Shen Qingxi took all the books and read them, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The girls on the side were also tired for a few days. Douko said, "Miss, please be at ease. I have prepared very well. When Hu was there, I had never been so careful. I will not embarrass the lady."
Shen Qingxi was naturally relieved. After more than a year, the girls around him were able to stand alone.
After stretching, Shen Qingxi said, "Let's rest, tomorrow will be a tough battle, just rest well."
