Chapter 410: A good show was staged, and it was thrown backwards
Mu Lingwei also led Mrs. Liu to find a place to sit down, and the two of them whispered to each other from time to time.
Yesterday she did not go to Chen Guogong's mansion. Today she took the initiative to make friends with Mrs. Chen and showed her attitude.
I heard from Gu Panpan that Princess Wen Yi wanted to use the bribes accepted by her son and grandson to benefit the people, and use the fifth day of the first lunar month to set up a porridge shed to spread good fortune.
Even if Chen Guogong's government uses up tens of thousands of wealth in this way, the people will not remember them. Once the matter is exposed, the people will really think that the Chen family is corrupt and accept bribes, and will create public opinion that it is nothing for them to give some porridge.
When the time comes, I'm afraid no one will remember them for their charity work, and they will be scolded to death.
If someone really wants to destroy the Chen family, they will still be sent to the eighteenth level of hell.
She just kindly reminded Princess Wen Yi that this method is not advisable. If there is a tumor in the flesh, if the root of the disease is not removed, she will always be a sick person.
At this moment, the eunuch shouted again: "The Queen has arrived."
Everyone quickly stood up and saluted, only to see the queen, dressed in an exquisite red phoenix robe, leading her concubines belatedly arrived.
In fact, it was not too late, because the family members entered the palace with the ministers, and they also wanted to attend the official banquet early and return home to spend the New Year with their families.
This custom of Long Yuan Kingdom is actually very unpleasant, but the officials will receive red envelopes, so everyone is quite happy with it.
Mu Lingwei also stood up, her head slightly lowered.
The Queen Mother, the Empress, and even Princess Ping all have the surname Shen. Does this mean that the country of Long Yuan Kingdom will be interfered by foreign relatives?
The regent is willing to make wedding clothes for others. I wonder if he is willing?
Behind the queen, in addition to the concubines, there were also Shen Yanyan and a woman covered in wealth.
The queen and others also saluted and said hello to the empress dowager, saying they were late to apologize and so on.
The Empress Dowager did not put on airs and asked the Empress to arrange the affairs and not to neglect the guests.
In fact, every New Year's Eve banquet for officials is organized according to the rules of the gourd, and is organized by the responsible officials and the eunuchs and maids in charge of the palace.
The queen is too young to take charge of the family, so Empress Dowager Shen is in charge.
Queen Mother Shen has not attended yet, and Jun Mengfei has not arrived either. I don’t know why?
Mu Lingwei didn't see Jun Mengfei and felt a little anxious. The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, and she quietly mingled among the crowd.
After the queen sat firmly, she also looked around. After the palace maid's guidance, she finally found Mu Lingwei's figure in the crowd.
She felt that Mu Lingwei was not very stunning, and her appearance was pretty good, so Yan Yan was exaggerating.
It is said that in the new round of beauty list in the imperial city, Shangguan Han was squeezed out of the list. Mu Lingwei's name is very loud, but most people have never seen what she looks like. They only know that she is beautiful, so her ranking is also
Be at the front.
The queen thought to herself: "What do these people think?"
She thought about her face again. Although the scars were covered by makeup, she still felt bitter in her heart. In comparison, Mu Lingwei was indeed too strong on her.
When the maids and eunuchs brought the exquisite snacks to the table, the queen smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, have fun eating. Today is New Year's Eve. I would like to toast you all with tea instead of wine. I wish you all a safe and smooth new year and all the best."
"
"Thank you, Queen." Everyone said in unison.
"Everyone, please take a seat. I will not arrange for you to have wine for breakfast. I know that all of you ladies will have a banquet with your family in the evening, so I specially ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare stomach-nourishing soup and porridge. Thank you for your hard work." Queen.
She was very friendly and honest, and she always spoke according to the words prepared by the nun in charge.
This kind of arrangement is undoubtedly the best. It is just a formality, and it also reflects the Queen's delicate thoughts and thoughtful arrangements.
Mrs. Shen said with a smile on her lips, "I heard that the plum blossoms in the Royal Garden are blooming beautifully, so we went to take a look at the plum blossoms after breakfast."
Everyone was very considerate and agreed one after another.
Mrs. Shen seemed to be very enthusiastic, and she seemed to be greeting the guests for the Queen. Everyone was chatting happily, telling each other what dishes were prepared for tonight's family banquet, etc.
As we talked about homely matters, for a while, the ladies around us also became interested and crowded together with all kinds of chatter.
Mu Lingwei glanced at Mrs. Shen calmly, looking arrogant from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
Can the emperor's mother-in-law not be arrogant?
She glanced at Shen Rou again with her peripheral vision, but there was nothing strange.
There is also Shen Yanyan, who has always been aggressive. She didn't look at her coldly today. She was very well-behaved, as if she didn't see her.
But Mu Lingwei still caught the subtle expression in Shen Yanyan's eyes and was very proud.
She secretly thought: "I wonder if the wolf kept in the Shen family will also enter the palace?"
This information was accidentally revealed by Shen Yanyan's maid.
At this time, the entire hall became lively. There were no singing and dancing performances, only delicious food, and everyone's thoughts were on the delicious food.
At this time, the stomach nourishing soup was also served. Mu Lingwei sniffed the smell in the air. It was indeed delicious and fragrant, making people full of appetite.
Seeing food, Mu Lingwei inadvertently thought of wolves.
If an accident happens, the kind-hearted Queen Mother will not blame her.
Mrs. Shen is the Queen's biological mother, so she considers herself to be of high status, so her position is naturally close to where the Empress Dowager and others are sitting.
The banquet hall with hundreds of people was noisy and chaotic, and bumps and bruises were inevitable.
Mu Lingwei suddenly stood up and walked towards the Queen Mother.
She stared closely at Mrs. Shen and Shen Yanyan. The two mothers and daughters and the ladies and ladies around them were all chatting happily, and there was no difference.
Just when Mrs. Shen suddenly raised her hand and the tray in the palace maid's hand was thrown towards the Queen Mother's back, Mu Lingwei firmly held the palace lady's waist and stabilized the tray with her other hand.
At the same time, she still heard a scream: "Ah!"
The voice came from Princess Ping, who also saw that her clothes had been "accidentally" splashed with health-preserving soup by the palace maid.
The palace maid quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake, "I was not careful, please punish me."
If you really punish the palace maid during the Chinese New Year, people will complain, so Princess Ping had no choice but to be generous. Fortunately, she wore thick clothes and didn't get burned.
Before Princess Ping could speak, another sharp voice came: "Ah!"
Suddenly, everyone in the hall was attracted by these two sounds.
When the time went back to a second ago, Mu Lingwei's hands shook, her eyes full of worry and fright, and she failed to steady the palace maid. The palace maid suddenly threw a full tray of soup towards Mrs. Shen.
Originally, all these were intended to be thrown at the Empress Dowager, but someone took advantage of Princess Ping's scream to attract attention, and then "accidentally" splashed the Empress Dowager on the pretext of being panicked.
When the maid carrying the tray saw the soup poured onto Mrs. Shen, her pupils shrank and her face turned pale with fright.
How could it be spilled the wrong way?
Then there was another sound of the jar breaking on the ground. Mrs. Shen was wearing a dark red peony-patterned skirt that was completely soaked and wet by the broth. For some reason, the broth on this tray was particularly greasy.
Mrs. Shen's face turned livid with anger, and her true nature was revealed instantly: "Bitch, what are you doing?"
Then there was a slap on the palace maid's face, making a "snap" sound.
