Chapter 491;
Flower Appreciation Banquet (Part 2)
No, a group of people who didn't have any thoughts rushed into the heating pavilion when they arrived at the venue.
At this time, there were already many people in Zainuan Pavilion.
When all the noble ladies saw Lu Yaoyao, they all stood up and saluted.
This person has a higher status than the princess and cannot be neglected.
"Everyone is polite."
Lu Yaoyao always did good deeds and returned the favor one by one.
Then he took Cheng Lixue and others to a deserted place and sat down.
"Why is Princess Wanfu here too? Doesn't she have an engagement with Prince Jin?"
"Isn't this so strange? With her current status, she would naturally be invited to this kind of banquet, just to have fun."
"Does Prince Ning still dare to choose her? She is his future aunt."
All the girls nodded inwardly.
Not long after, more and more powerful women entered the Nuan Pavilion, and Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised by how many people there were.
"Why are they here too?"
Dong Shaner frowned and looked at the women in an area to their left.
"How do you know them? Who are they?"
Wen Miaomiao looked at those people curiously and found that she didn't recognize any of them.
Cheng Lixue also looked at Dong Shan'er curiously.
"The one wearing the yellow dress over there is called Han Li. She is the eldest granddaughter of the head of the Han family, and is the most famous and talented woman in Hedong."
Hearing this, everyone was startled, but Dong Shaner continued to introduce.
There are also Wu You, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, and Luo Wenhui, a second daughter of the Luo family. This Luo Wenhui is also Dong Shan'er's cousin.
No, as soon as she finished the introduction, Luo Wenhui stood up and walked over to them.
"Cousin, I've been looking for you for a long time, why are you here?"
The little girl's voice is very nice, as clear and crisp as the sound of wind chimes, and her eyes are also very lively.
"Why are you here, girl? Why didn't I hear you talk about it?"
Dong Shaner asked with a frown.
"Don't mention it. The eldest sister was supposed to come, but she didn't come, so dad asked me to come."
"Cousin, are these all your friends?"
Luo Wenhui tilted her head and looked at Lu Yaoyao and others. She didn't live in the capital, so she didn't know the noble lady here in the capital.
"Well, come and let me introduce you."
Dong Shaner took Luo Wenhui and started introducing them one by one.
"You are Princess Wanfu. I have heard a lot about you, but I didn't expect to finally see you in person today."
"Sister Princess, you are so beautiful."
As a woman, especially a woman in Dongzhou, many people regard Lu Yaoyao as their idol.
This person single-handedly rose from an abandoned daughter to where she is today.
And she also did so many things for the people and the court that men could not do.
"You are beautiful too."
Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded.
"By the way, cousin, why are you here to participate, and why are they all in the capital?"
"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, a post was sent to my house more than half a month ago. I only arrived in Beijing yesterday and I have been busy preparing and haven't even visited my cousin."
Hearing this, Dong Shan'er frowned more and more, while Lu Yaoyao beside her also showed a thoughtful expression.
It seems that Queen Wang already has a candidate in mind when choosing a concubine for Prince Ning this time.
Regarding the current situation of Prince Ning, many people here in the capital are very aware that those who are willing to be bound to Prince Ning, except for those with smaller family backgrounds and short-sightedness, I am afraid not many people are willing to do so.
Just like Prime Minister Dong and Prime Minister Wen, they would not be willing to do this.
As for the young Queen, I'm afraid she wouldn't like her either. After all, she was choosing a concubine for Prince Ning, so the person she wanted couldn't be too casual. To put it bluntly, she wanted to help Prince Ning choose her.
What kind of help can a small household do?
Now that the legitimate daughters of several famous families are here, I am afraid that the Queen Wang wants to choose one of these famous families to be her daughter-in-law.
First of all, although these major aristocratic families are famous, most of them are white, and their ability to resist in the face of imperial power will be less.
You can't use your power to say that you don't like it. It's not a bad thing, it's really not that easy to deal with.
This is not only a slap in the queen's face, but also a slap in the emperor's face.
Secondly, even though they are all white, their power is not small. Coupled with the identity of Prince Ning, regardless of the situation, it is noble enough. Who doesn't want to go further?
Especially those from aristocratic families, but they have always wanted to have a high status to make the family more stable.
Prince Ning is indeed a good candidate. He is the eldest son of the royal palace and has the support of Duke Zhen. Although Emperor Hongwen has wrong intentions now, he will be very maneuverable in the future.
What if King Ning comes to power one day? Wouldn't their status also rise with the tide?
Not long after, Queen Wang appeared.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and now at first glance, she seems to be much less energetic than before.
Lu Yaoyao still remembers the first time he met Queen Wang. That guy was very impressive and energetic.
"I didn't see Wanfu outside just now. You are here. I am still wondering if you are not giving me face."
Queen Wang looked at Lu Yaoyao immediately. Although there was a smile on her face, the words did not sound right.
Many people present were stunned.
But it soon dawned on me that the reason why Queen Wang got to where she is today had something to do with Lu Yaoyao.
Wasn't it because Emperor Hongwen suddenly decreed a marriage between Lu Yaoyao and King Jin that Empress Wang did something?
Now everyone can understand that this is the case when we meet Queen Wang.
Everyone looked at Lu Yaoyao, wanting to see how she would respond to Queen Wang's attack.
"My daughter has met the Queen."
Lu Yaoyao first stood up and saluted, and then said with a smile: "The Queen is joking, my daughter has arrived a long time ago, but she has been afraid of the cold since she was a child, so she can only hide in the warm pavilion."
As for the Queen's words about not giving face, she did not explain at all, but she gave an explanation.
This is a subject, isn't it just that, you are the queen, you posted a post, how can I, a subject, not come?
Queen Wang understood what she meant and kept smiling on her face.
"Speaking of which, I was very optimistic about you at the beginning and intended to make you my daughter-in-law, but unfortunately, I couldn't do it."
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao frowned slightly and continued, "Thank you very much, Queen, for showing me your love. I am a mountain girl, how dare you reach such high places."
Queen Wang wanted to say something else, and the nanny standing beside her gently pulled the corner of her clothes.
Today is different from the past. Queen Wang is no longer the same as before. If she continues to confront Lu Yaoyao, she is afraid that she will not get any benefits.
Queen Wang reacted immediately and stopped pestering her.
Smiling, he walked straight to the main seat and sat down. Then he looked at Lu Yaoyao and said, "Wanfu, you can be regarded as King Ning's future elder. How about you come sit next to me and watch over King Ning?"
Her words made many women present stunned. What is going on? Weren't you tense just now?
Why did it suddenly change so quickly?
