Twin Brocade

Chapter 719

Fang Jinshu couldn't help but feel sick whenever he thought of what Xiao Pei had planned for him.

"Girl, Yangliu is here." Fang Fei came in and said.

She saw that Fang Jinshu's face was a little pale, and asked, "What's the matter? Miss, is there something wrong?"

"I'm fine." Fang Jinshu shook his head, "Let Yang Liu in."

"I've seen the fourth girl." Yang Liu saluted and said, "There is a new piece of material in the store, and the lady asked me to send it to the girl."

She spread out the cloth she brought on the couch.The fine-textured satin is printed with light gold bat patterns, and the bottom is lined with ruyi patterns, which is very festive and auspicious.

This kind of satin is undoubtedly more suitable for old women, so how could it be specially sent to Fang Jinshu?

However, Fang Jinshu understood in an instant that Quan Moxian had specially asked Yang Liu to send it here to make him feel at ease.The bat represents good luck, and the Ruyi pattern means that everything goes well.

When Fang Jinshu touched the smooth cloth, Fang Jinshu's discomfort faded away.

To deal with Xiao Pei, it is not difficult to expose his true face.The difficulty lies in grasping the timing and occasion.If the matter is small, it will be easily covered up by the Xiao family, and if it becomes a big one, they are afraid that the empress dowager will make it difficult for her.

There are still two days until the celebration banquet, and he must have spent a lot of energy.But at such a critical moment, he still thought about his own feelings and sent someone to reassure him.

A warm current surged in Fang Jinshu's heart, washing away all the discomfort that Xiao Pei had brought before.

Marrying Quan Moxian, thinking about it now, is really something worth looking forward to.

The celebration banquet this time is to entertain the folk doctors and imperial physicians who have made great efforts in the epidemic, as well as related people who have made great contributions.For example, Xu Wanzhen who deserved the first credit, as well as businessmen who donated property, eminent monks who took in refugees, etc.

At the banquet, those who have made contributions will be rewarded according to their merits.

Holding this banquet originally meant to have fun with the people.In addition to these meritorious persons, courtiers and Wu Xun were all invited to the banquet.The scale is unprecedented.

The palace issued a decree that anyone who is an official in the court and above the fourth rank can bring his family to the banquet.Fang Shuyu is now the Zhan Shi of Prince Qi's residence, the fourth rank of the official residence, and both Si Lansheng and Fang Jinshu will attend this banquet.

For King Qi, the importance of this banquet is even more extraordinary.

The prince's disaster relief has not yet arrived in Beijing, and he will accompany Emperor Qinglong and appear at the banquet, which will further stabilize the good situation he has obtained so far.

"Where did the prince's car go?" Qi Wang asked.

"My lord, my subordinates found out that the crown prince is half a month away from the capital." Shu Changshi reported.

"Half a month." King Qi rubbed the handle of the chair and said, "Okay! It's still so long, no matter what, he can't make it in time."

"Your Highness is wise!"

In order to delay the prince's return to Beijing and let King Qi win more time, he managed to hold back the prince's footsteps.Otherwise, the prince should have returned to the capital as early as the beginning of the month.

"It's been a long history of hard work these days!" King Qi said.

Fang Shuyu is a rare talent, and also a banner of Qi Palace.But these tasks are still done by his most trusted Shu Changshi.

Firstly, King Qi did not fully trust Fang Shuyu; secondly, Fang Shuyu practiced Confucianism, so he might not be as good at such things as Shu Changshi.

Knowing people and being good at assignments has always been King Qi's greatest strength.

Two days passed by in a flash.On this day, the city of Luoyang ushered in unprecedented excitement.

In each workshop, the invited people were greeted by the neighbors, chattering lively.They lived in the capital, and they were both yearning and curious about the imperial palace, but also kept fearing it.

Such a rare grand event, not to mention being able to go in, even if you discuss a few words outside, you still feel that you are involved in it, and you can be a conversation piece for a lifetime.

"That's the palace, you guys have to tell us well when you come back, it's an eye-opener."

"Definitely." A middle-aged doctor said with a smile on his face.

"I heard that the ground in the palace is paved with gold, you can dig a piece and get rich."

"Don't listen to her bad idea! There is no way to move things in the palace. Be careful to be charged with disrespect!"

The same dialogues and scenes happened everywhere in Luoyang city.

Outside the gate of the Xu family, Xu Wanzhen got into the carriage sent by An Guogong's mansion to pick her up, and went straight to the palace.Behind her, there was a large crowd of people watching the excitement.

The Xiuwenfang is much calmer. The people living here are all important officials of the court, and it is not uncommon for them to enter the palace.

Fang Jinshu sat in the carriage thinking about his own thoughts. Today's celebration banquet is not destined to be peaceful.

The venue for the celebration banquet was not in the harem, but in a large hall on the left side of the Xuanzheng Hall.

Here, the bright bricks paving the floor are so smooth that people can be seen, the dragon with its teeth and claws on the copper pillars, surrounded by palace guards holding spears, the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

Entering the main hall, the people who have no official and no job are all a little panicked.He subconsciously restrained his voice, and sat down on his own seat according to the palace servants who came to guide him.

In the main hall, because men and women are different, they are separated by a screen in the middle and sit separately.

The emperor and empress have not yet appeared, and in front of the main hall is the silk and bamboo drum music from the Jiaofang Division, playing popular music, relieving the tension in people's hearts.

Fang Jinshu sat beside Si Lansheng, surrounded by familiar courtiers and women, such as the Qiao family and the Gong family.As the daughter-in-law of the Gong family, Fang Jinhui sat in the row in front of her, and secretly turned around and smiled at her.

Sitting at the front is the female family member of the Duke's Mansion with the highest title.Xu Wanzhen sat in the first row because she was the first to fight the epidemic.

After a song was played, a group of female musicians came up and danced a song, and the sound of drum music gradually stopped.After a while, it was played again, this time it was the national style and elegant music used in the palace.

coming!

Fang Jinshu clenched the silk handkerchief in his hand, knowing that Emperor Qinglong, Empress Cao, and Empress Dowager Xiao would appear soon.What happened at this celebration banquet had a long-term impact, far beyond people's imagination at the time.

No one could have predicted what happened next.

She once thought about whether to stop it in advance.But after much deliberation, she finally gave up on the idea.

Fang Jinshu was not afraid of arousing Wei Yixin's suspicion because of this, but she was worried that rashly taking action on such a major event would disturb the original historical process, affect the final result, and the fate of the people involved.

Although, the facts once again proved that it is difficult to change because of her shot on such a major event.But, she didn't want to take the risk.

While she was thinking, Emperor Qinglong and Empress Cao had already appeared in the hall.It was King Qi who was following Emperor Qinglong.Empress Cao personally supported Empress Dowager Xiao.

Everyone in the hall left their seats and knelt down on the ground, shouting long live: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
