Chapter 8 tit for tat
Jiang Fuguang walked down the steps at the water corridor and entered the Changchun Garden. The noble ladies who had lined up and waited for the ceremony hurriedly collected their clothes and saluted.

"His Royal Highness, live a long and healthy life."

Informal banquets, there is no need to kneel and salute, but the status of each lady is different, and the etiquette is also particular about it.

The platoon is very mighty.

"Free gift!"

Just as Jiang Fuguang finished speaking, a proud voice sounded: "Sister Seventh Emperor, you are finally here."

Jiang Fuguang looked up.

The maids in the Changchun Garden were separated on both sides. The host of today’s banquet, Princess Ning Yuan, was wearing a Zhai dress and a beaded emerald crown. Surrounded by several noble ladies, she walked away with a smile on her face Come.

Di clothes covered in dark blue, embroidered with red, blue, yellow, white, and black five-color Zhai bird patterns, different from Princess Fuguang's black clothes everywhere, dark blue is particularly thick, between blue and purple, with blue Solemn, also has the dignity of purple.

But I don't know whether Xuan is the most respected or purple is the most precious.

All the young ladies gathered their clothes to greet each other.

"You really make people wait." Princess Ning Yuan twitched the corner of her mouth, and said meaningfully, "The banquet is about to start, and I haven't seen you coming yet, so I thought you wouldn't come."

"You are the host and I am the guest. Isn't it only natural for you to wait for me?" Jiang Fuguang bent his lips and looked around.

All the ladies lowered their heads one after another.

Apart from Princess Ning Yuan, Princess Fuguang was the most valuable person at the spring banquet. Which heavyweight guest came here in advance to wait for someone?

It's already very face-saving to step on the point.

Princess Ning Yuan felt annoyed, and mocked: "I thought, the imperial concubine is seriously ill, and the general's old illness has relapsed. I heard that you have been busy looking for doctors and medicines, so I'm afraid you won't have time to come."

"Sister Wuhuang's news is not very well-informed, you see," Jiang Fuguang smiled, "Don't I have time?"

Speaking of this, Princess Ning Yuan can't continue.

"Oh, that's right," she changed the topic, her expression was concerned, but her voice was smiling, but it was not the case at all, "Is the imperial concubine in better health?"

When she asked this question, the young ladies immediately stretched their ears.

Jiang Fuguang didn't answer directly: "I don't need to worry about Fifth Huangjie."

Princess Ning Yuan consciously poked her sore spot, and she even smiled proudly: "There are still many high-quality medicinal materials in my mansion, if the imperial concubine needs it, please don't be polite to me."

"Fifth Sister's piece of [Filial Heart]," Jiang Fuguang said with a calm face, deliberately accentuating the word [Filial Heart], "I will accept it on behalf of my mother and concubine, but," she changed the topic, her voice contained Smiling, "Eunuch Zhang prepares all the medicines used in Ganlu Palace himself. I'm afraid I will disappoint Miss Wuhuang."

Concubine Mu Gui was welcomed into the palace by the emperor's father as a wife. She is equal to the empress mother in status. In name, she is also her 'mother concubine'. It is not an exaggeration to say [filial piety].

Princess Ning Yuan looked unhappy.

And the ladies of the family were also very surprised to hear that the medicine for the imperial concubine was prepared by the imperial servant Eunuch Zhang himself.

It seems that the imperial concubine is honored and favored.

Princess Ning Yuan raised her eyebrows: "In a few days, Emperor Father will hold a banquet in the Taiji Hall to receive the envoys from the Northern Dynasty. Unfortunately, the imperial concubine is still ill, so I think she will not be able to attend the palace banquet."

Jiang Fuguang smiled deeply and didn't answer the words.

The two princesses came and went, and had a brief confrontation, which ended with Princess Ning Yuan slightly gaining the upper hand.

The ladies of the family couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's really turning around.

Princess Ning Yuan glanced around, and said with a smile: "I originally planned to invite the familiar ladies to come here to have fun and liven up the fun, but the queen mother said that since last year, the northern and southern dynasties have fought again, and the capital is still busy." I haven't held a decent banquet, but it's hard for us ladies, and we are detained at home, but everyone is suffocated, so we hold it more lively, and we get together to be lively and lively, so we can have fun. You can come here, It’s really radiant.”

The words are beautiful and polite, which shows that the empress empress is compassionate and virtuous, and has given a lot of noble ladies face.

The atmosphere suddenly heated up.

The noble ladies in the courtyard, listening to the musicians playing music, reciting poems and painting, playing chess, drinking tea and chatting, are also happy.

The ladies who were invited were either queens or neutrals. They knew that the two princesses would not deal with them, so they naturally won't lose their winks, and approached Princess Fuguang.

Invisibly, Jiang Fuguang was isolated.

Use the spring banquet to suppress her, this is the purpose of Jiang Ningyuan holding the spring banquet.

The exchanges between noble girls are not just as simple as eating, drinking and having fun.

The banquet held by the first princess is all the first daughters who have been carefully cultivated by the aristocratic family since childhood. Which one is simple?

When the banquet is over and they return home, the elders will carefully inquire about the situation at the banquet, and based on the situation at the banquet, make a judgment that is most beneficial to the family.

"Seventh Emperor Sister," Princess Ning Rou came over, and said softly, "Miss Gu San of the Prime Minister's Mansion and I, together with a few ladies from aristocratic families, are playing flower orders over there, do you want to come together?"

Princess Ningrou's mother and concubine, Zhang Bin, is also the daughter of Jiangmen.

Zhang Bin's father, General Zhang, was once a young general stationed in the north. When his grandfather was guarding the north, General Zhang took the post of General Zhonglang under his grandfather's command.

Fifteen years ago, my grandfather defeated the Northern Dynasty and asked for credit for General Zhang. His father was named General Zhang Huwei, and his daughter was also named Zhang Concubine.

Because of this relationship, she has a good relationship with Jiang Ningrou.

"You guys play!" Jiang Fuguang looked up, and saw Gu Jiayan's sister Gu Lingyi staring at her, not wanting her to pass by at all.

She was too lazy to bother.

She has no normal contact with Gu Lingyi, and she doesn't know why Gu Lingyi always looks down on her every time she sees her.

However, Gu Lingyi has a good relationship with Jiang Ningrou.

"Playing the flower order is only interesting if there are more people together." Princess Ningrou glanced around and persuaded softly.

"Not anymore." Jiang Ningrou wanted to invite her because she saw that she was alone. Jiang Fuguang accepted this intention, but she didn't care about it. "Go back quickly, don't keep people waiting."

Princess Ning Rou is still hesitating——

Gu Lingyi, who was not far away, couldn't help but sneered: "People look down on us and don't like to play with us, so why do you force it? Hmph, it's as if someone is catching up with her to please her."

The faces of the other noble ladies in the field were a little ugly.

"Seventh Emperor Sister," said Princess Ning Yuan gloatingly, "Sixth Emperor Sister is also kind, why don't you appreciate it?"
