The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 366
Tonight's banquet was held in Zichen Hall, and Dugu Xiangyun walked far behind Yang Yan, receiving the baptism of countless people's curious, sympathetic or gloating eyes along the way.She always had a calm smile and maintained a noble demeanor, as if the sympathetic jokes were made by others and had nothing to do with herself.She is the daughter of the Dugu family, she has her pride!

The defense of men and women at this time was actually not as strict as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties after Zhu Xi. In this banquet, men and women were not separated.Three chairs were set up on the main seat, the empress dowager and empress sat on both sides of the emperor, and several concubines with higher status in the palace sat behind them.

Below, the ministers of civil and military affairs are arranged according to their official titles and titles.The man is the head of the family and sits in the front row, while the female relatives sit behind the man.Yang Yan is the third prince, and he is sitting in the second seat of the military generals. His head is King An, and his bottom is the fifth prince.On the opposite side, King Shu took the first seat, and King Kang took the second seat.

Compared with this, King An is inevitably a little proud.Look, among the princes, I was the only one who took the first seat. Isn't this just to show the status of my son-in-law?It seems that Father intends to make me the crown prince, right?

Although King Ping returned to Beijing not long ago, there was quite a lot of commotion, and his popularity in the court was pretty good. In addition to the courtiers leaning towards him, some neutral ministers also greeted him.

Of course, the first person he went to meet was the emperor Shu Wang.

Zhao Shihua glanced at him, nodded lightly, and didn't say much.

Kang Wang on the other side couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw it.He just said, the emperor's uncle has the most weird temper, how could he like the third child?Look, it's only been a few days, and there has been a conflict, right?So, Kang Wang fawned over again, and the emperor's uncle yelled shortly, but the king of Shu was extremely indifferent and didn't pay much attention to him.

On King Ping's side, he didn't seem to remember that there was a side concubine Dugu sitting behind him at all, so he never glanced at her, let alone talked to her.

Sitting on top of Dugu Xiangyun is Dugu Xiangyu, the Zhengfei of Wang An, who happens to be Dugu Xiangyu is also Dugu Xiangyun's cousin.Although the two of them didn't talk about their relationship before they left the cabinet, they were still passable. At the beginning, no one knew what kind of family they would marry, and they would not be offended if they asked for help later on.But once married to a different force, let alone cousins, even if they are real sisters, the relationship will be divided.

Dugu Xiangyu is very much loved by King An, and he is born well. Today, he deliberately dressed up, combing a Lingyun bun, wearing a red gold peony hair comb inlaid with rubies in the middle, and a pair of flying phoenixes holding pearls on both sides. The two strings of pearls shone brightly under the light, making her even more charming.

Even if Dugu Xiangyun is also a woman, she has to admit that her cousin is a rare beauty.

Dugu Xiangyu turned her bright eyes, looking at Dugu Xiangyun who was sitting quietly next to her.Today Dugu Xiangyun is wearing an updo and her hair is full of emerald jewels, as if she is afraid that people will look down on her.Dugu Xiangyu raised the corners of his lips, smiled mockingly, and said in a manly voice, "Long time no see, how is Thirteenth Sister?"

"Thank you Seventh Sister for your concern. My sister is fine." Dugu Xiangyun was actually very reluctant to see Dugu Xiangyu.If Dugu Xiangyu hadn't married King An as his concubine first, the Dugu family would definitely have supported King Ping. If that was the case, King Ping would not have treated her like this.

Dugu Xiangyu nodded with a smile and said: "Speaking of which, my sister is also very lucky. His Royal Highness Ping Wang has not yet married the main concubine, and you are the only one in the palace. Don't you feel pain like a baby? Originally, His Highness Ping Wang was going to marry the main concubine a few days ago. I know that the girls of the Wang family are not blessed. It's just a pity that my sister is alone in the palace, I'm afraid it will be lonely."

Who in the upper class in Chang'an doesn't know that Dugu Xiangyun is not favored by the king?Dugu Xiangyu is deliberately stepping on someone's painful feet, how can Dugu Xiangyun not hate him?Dugu Xiangyun was not easy to provoke, and immediately replied: "How can younger sister compare to Seventh Sister? Seventh Sister has three princesses, and there is no news about my younger sister!"

If you want to ask Dugu Xiangyu what he hates the most in his life, it must be not having a son.She married An Wang for ten years and gave birth to three daughters. Four years ago, she finally conceived a boy, but she miscarried four months ago.Since then, even though King An pampered her as always, she never got pregnant again.

Therefore, as soon as Dugu Xiangyun said this, Dugu Xiangyu's expression changed all of a sudden.

When Wang An heard the two sisters fighting behind him, he didn't want to care about it, but Dugu Xiangyun, as the side concubine of King Ping, bullied his woman, he couldn't ignore it.Of course, he didn't want to trouble Dugu Xiangyun directly, so he said to Yang Yan: "My third son, you should take care of your women, I don't understand any dignity. Your second sister-in-law is both the elder sister and the sister-in-law. She How can a side concubine speak in such an unruly manner?"

Although Yang Yan didn't admit that Dugu Xiangyun was his woman, he didn't want to give Wang An a good face, so he said coldly: "What did she say wrong? It's a good thing that the second sister-in-law gave birth to three princesses, can't you just say it? My brother thinks that it's better for us men not to take too much care of their sisters' affairs."

Dugu Xiangyu was originally happy when he heard that King An stood up for him, but he didn't expect that King Ping would turn to Dugu Xiangyun and stun her to death.

Lonely Xiangyun was envious when she saw that King An was standing out for Dugu Xiangyu, but unexpectedly, King Ping, who never gave her a good face, would speak for her, and she was immediately moved to red eyes.She couldn't help but think, maybe the prince doesn't hate her that much, why don't she take the initiative again tonight?
At this time, the emperor and empress finally helped Empress Dowager Dugu out with several concubines.

Everyone stood up and knelt down to pay homage to the emperor.After the three big bosses were all seated, Pingshen's voice was heard.

Yang Hao gave the opening speech happily, and the Queen Mother Dugu also said a few words, and it was the turn of the ministers and lords to flatter the emperor and the Queen Mother.

In fact, Yang Yan was most annoyed by this kind of banquet, it was extremely boring, but he also knew that this kind of banquet seemed to have little nutrition, but it was actually very useful, and this was a good opportunity for the emperor to win over his courtiers.

The highlight of tonight is actually the King of Shu.

Yang Hao and other ministers toasted a few glasses of wine and flattered them, then raised their glasses to the king of Shu and said, "This time, the fifth younger brother is willing to stay in Chang'an to help me. I'm really happy. Come on, let's have a toast!" "
