Hearing the sound, he looked over and saw Princess Anyang stepping down from the luxurious carriage with the support of Ning Zhenbao. Ning Zhenbao even winked at Yan Mingzhu mischievously.
Everyone was quite shocked when they saw that Princess Mingtai and Princess Anyang attended the Yuan family's flowing banquet in person.
You know, although Princess Anyang loves to be lively, she generally likes to hold various banquets by herself, and it is difficult to invite her to banquets hosted by others.
Not to mention, the left prime minister Mingtai, who has always been selfless and unsmiling.
Even if it was a royal palace banquet, Mingtai had no choice but to not come, but today, he attended it in person. How proud the Yuan family must be!
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but take a high look at the Yuan family.
When Yan Mingzhu saw Mingtai, she was stunned for a moment, then she laughed and saluted: "Mingxiang, Your Highness the Princess."
"I am truly happy for the Yuan family when I learn that the Yongyi Marquis Mansion has been cleared of its grievances. I know that if the Yuan family can raise such a unique and extraordinary woman like you, Miss Yan San, they must also be loyal and brave people."
Yan Mingzhu expressed her sincere thanks: "Thank you so much, Your Highness, Princess, please come in."
Princess Anyang waved her hand, "Don't worry, I just watched the excitement. Since I said I wanted to be a witness, I naturally want to see the results."
Mingtai even said directly: "Zizhan, follow Uncle Pingchang to the Earl's Mansion in person and carefully count Miss Yan's mother's dowry, but don't let others take advantage of the loopholes."
Jue is still Mingtai Jue, just send his son over to keep an eye on him, even if Pingchang Bo wants to make a fool of himself.
But let alone pretending to be fake, Ping Changbo couldn't even provide one-tenth of the dowry, let alone half?
At this moment, he is like a clown who shot himself in the foot!
At his wits' end, Pingchangbo resorted to his old tricks again, rolling his eyes and pretending to be weak, "Oh, my head hurts so much, I can't help it, I can't help it!"
"My lord! I'm really sorry. My lord has been in poor health. He was too excited just now. I'm afraid I won't be able to do the inventory today. It's better to wait for my lord to feel better and do the inventory again in two days..."
Before he finished speaking, Ming Zizhan sneered and said: "Don't worry, even if he rolls his eyes and curls up his hair, I will count the dowry for him all the time. He doesn't need to lift a finger. Why, just count the dowry."
, you are either in pain or uncomfortable, could it be that the dowry has been squandered by you all?"
"You...don't talk nonsense!"
Ming Zizhan folded his arms, "Since you say I'm talking nonsense, then hurry up and check it out. I'm whining like a girl. My patience is limited."
Seeing that it was difficult to get off the tiger, Pingchang Bo simply ouched and pretended to have fainted.
"Father! You are really going too far. How can you compare it to this? If you promised to repay the dowry, our Earl's Mansion will definitely repay it. Is there still such a small amount of money? But you are so aggressive that you even made my father faint.
Wow, this is really too much!"
Yan Mingzhu watched the whole family acting there with cold eyes. After seeing enough of the excitement, she walked forward unhurriedly.
When he raised his hand, he held a silver needle that was two fingers long between his two fingers.
"It just so happens that I am not talented and know some medical skills. Uncle Pingchang, your body is so weak, why don't you give me two injections? Don't worry, my skills are very good. One injection will definitely eliminate all your diseases.
However, if you are pretending to be sick, it may have the opposite effect. You may not know, if you are not careful, you will be paralyzed for life. The probability of this is very small. You will only know what the result will be after you try it."
Uncle Pingchang was just pretending to be dizzy, but when he saw such a long silver needle and Yan Mingzhu's words, he jumped up instantly.
Yan Mingzhu raised her eyebrows without surprise, "Hey, you woke up so quickly. Your illness really comes and goes in a hurry."
Anyone with a brain can see that Uncle Pingchang was all pretending, pretending all the time, but refused to take the person back to the Earl's Mansion to count the dowry.
Obviously, the dowry left by the Yuan family has probably been squandered by this family.
Yuan Jin had a serious look on his face, not wanting to waste time on this family of scoundrels, "Throw away this family of scoundrels and the gifts they brought. Zhuzhu has already entered our Yuan family's genealogy.
We no longer have anything to do with your Pingchang Earl’s Mansion. From now on, anyone from Pingchang Earl’s Mansion who dares to step even half a step into the Marquis’ Mansion will be beaten out with sticks!”
Hearing such decisive words, Pingchang Bo was so angry that his hands shook, "You...you are going too far!"
"Oh, is this going too far to deceive others? Then let me show you what it means to really go too far to deceive others!"
As he said this, Ming Zizhan picked up a stick and beat Pingchang Bo's family violently.
Pingchangbo and others were like rats crossing the street. They were beaten until they howled wildly. They got back into the carriage and fled without looking back.
Yuan Yi smiled so hard that she didn't even blink, "Second Young Master Ming is so... so handsome."
Yan Mingzhu heard Yuan Yixiao whispering, and couldn't help but look back at her, but before she thought about it, Yuan Jin raised her hand and said with a smile: "Mingxiang, Your Highness the Princess, please come in quickly."
Just when Yuan Jinshen thought there should be no other guests, suddenly a procession with extremely solemn ceremony came in this direction and stopped at the main entrance of the Hou Mansion.
"Concubine Zhuang is here in person, come quickly to welcome Feng Jia!"
Not to mention Yuan Jinshen and the others, even Yan Mingzhu himself did not expect that Concubine Zhuang would come in person.
This concubine in the harem is different from other royal relatives, especially those at the level of Concubine Zhuang. Now that Empress Pei has been sentenced to death, Concubine Zhuang is the only one in the entire harem, and Emperor Zhao temporarily handed over the Phoenix Seal to her.
Let her take care of it.
It can be said that with Concubine Zhuang's current status and position as Queen, the concubine would not attend the family banquet of the courtiers.
Yan Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then looked inside the house, and understood instantly.
"Greetings to Concubine Zhuang, may you live a thousand years!"
The group of people knelt down in front of Concubine Zhuang's carriage. Concubine Zhuang stepped out of the carriage with the support of Aunt Ren.
He glanced at the kneeling person, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Mingzhu.
He laughed and said in a rather easy-going tone: "I am only attending the Yuan family's banquet in my personal capacity today. There is no need to be polite. Get up."
With Concubine Zhuang's presence in person, the significance of this banquet became extraordinary. In just a short time, the news had spread to the palace, causing quite a commotion, especially among the female relatives.
"The last time Concubine Zhuang came out of the palace and attended the banquet in person, it was when Duke Zhuang Guo celebrated his sixtieth birthday. This time she came to the Marquis Yongyi's Mansion in person. What a great honor to the Yuan family!"
"Even Prime Minister Ming, who rarely attends banquets, came in person, as well as Her Royal Highness the Princess. Could it be that... is that rumor true?"
