Chapter 238 The game is in the middle of the game! It's the heartbeat
Those officials who had not received the invitation were also surprised when they heard this and said: "Prince Regent, you are too petty to hold this hundred-day banquet!"
Not to mention anything else, even the royalists wanted to take advantage of the 100-day banquet of the twins, so naturally they "blamed" a certain regent for not inviting them.
Ye Chenfeng: "... If the emperor brother and all of you don't mind, we will go to the house for a drink together tomorrow, but we have agreed that we can't write this invitation. Time is really tight. I won't give it until my first birthday."
Please make up for it."
"I am your biological uncle, so why should I care about this? Let's just agree that I will have a glass of wine tomorrow." After answering the words with satisfaction, the emperor left the throne.
The eunuch in front of the palace announced, "Dismiss the court—"
The gentlemen were still surrounding a certain regent, "If His Majesty hadn't mentioned it, Your Majesty would really not have invited us!"
"What's the rush? There will be a birthday ceremony in a hundred days. I want to celebrate the anniversary and invite all my colleagues to the banquet."
Ye Chenfeng didn't even know what these people were fighting for. Isn't it just for a meal? They were all officials. It was hard to get to anyone's house and couldn't afford a meal!?
When the courtiers were finally gone, Prime Minister Mei smiled and said, "My lord, you have misjudged the world's longing for the auspiciousness of twins."
"As for that?" Ye Chenfeng straightened his court clothes and asked with a hint of tingling, "It's not enough that they won't go. Those officials from the capital who have not gone to court will also go, right?"
Mei Xiang was silent for a moment, "...what about, all the servants and cooks from the Prime Minister's Mansion will be transferred to help?"
Ye Chenfeng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "What is this!?"
Prime Minister Mei then reminded, "Your Majesty, send more people to patrol to avoid trouble."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I know how to make arrangements." Ye Chenfeng agreed knowingly, and immediately left the palace to make arrangements.
When Mei Wen'er heard that all the civil and military officials might be coming, she almost lost her balance and asked, "Why are there so many guests!?"
This is the first banquet she has hosted since she hosted the middle school, and she is going to make a mess of it!?
"You just need to prepare the table, and I will make other arrangements." Ye Chenfeng also knew that it would be difficult to handle.
Fortunately, after Hexi in the palace heard about this, he also came to help overnight. With the help of the prime minister's wife, he could barely sort it out.
But on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, before the banquet started, the old housekeeper of the mansion discovered that many people had already come to watch!?
"I heard that today, the twins in the Regent's palace are having a hundred-day banquet! Do you think there will be more auspiciousness?"
"Definitely! It is said that the regent has seen auspicious signs in the sky for a hundred days, and his children are twins of dragon and phoenix! They must be more auspicious!"
"Is there still such a thing?..."
The people who were watching always felt that something was wrong. I had never heard of auspicious omens and that it could be passed down from father to son! But since you are all here, you must see it before leaving.
It just so happened that the spring sun was warming up today, and the banquet started at noon. The ordinary people who had nothing to do could just bask in the sun on the street without feeling uncomfortable.
The emperor looked at the bustle in front of him and said with a smile: "Grandma, look at how lively it is!"
"It's too lively..." The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "Xiaojiu, what's going on?"
Although Ye Chenfeng was a little surprised, it was still expected, "Just follow the trend and let them go."
After the two brothers went to court, they went to the Wutong Hall to pick up the Queen Mother. At this moment, they entered the palace together and were almost squeezed out and unable to get in.
By the time all the officials returned to their homes and brought their wives, the streets and alleys where the Regent's Palace was located were already overcrowded, and it was all up to the city defense troops to maintain order.
Mei Wen'er, who was extremely busy, took the Empress Dowager to the backyard. Xiao Ying came to report: "The Duke's wife and the third young lady are here, and the Prime Minister's wife has already gone to greet them."
Mei Wen'er nodded and said, "Let mother take you to the flower hall. All the first-class ladies behind will be sent there and handed over to the imperial grandmother to control."
"What a great idea! Your Majesty is wise!" Xiaoying immediately retreated to do the work.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager, who was originally a guest, became a Buddha that the female family members must worship, but it was not necessary for Mei Wen'er to greet him in person.
The male guests were all arranged by Ye Chenfeng, and everything seemed to be in order for the time being, which made the emperor feel slightly surprised and his heart sank.
On the other side, Qiao Xinyue, who couldn't sit still, asked with a smile: "Where is the Empress Dowager and the Regent Princess? Why don't you see her?"
After hearing this, many female relatives subconsciously looked at the Empress Dowager.
Mei Wen'er brought Xiao Ying into the hall, "Here we are, here to invite you all to take a seat."
Mei Wen'er, wearing a wide-sleeved bird skirt and her hair combed into a fairy-like bun on her temples, looked fresh and fresh, like a fairy who had descended from the earth.
The discerning female family members immediately recognized the bird skirt she was wearing. It was exquisitely woven! The fabric was also excellent cloud satin!
Qiao Xinyue stared blankly at that time, and it was not until Mei Wen'er stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager that she came back to her senses...
The Duke's wife saw that her expression was wrong, and was about to remind her secretly, but Qiao Xinyue had already said: "Sister Princess, you have spent a lot of time preparing for this fairy dress, right? I heard that the hundred-day banquet was prepared in a hurry, but now it seems that it is all nonsense
Nonsense, you can’t believe a word of it.”
When the female relatives heard this, they were silent for a moment, and some were ready to agree, but -
"Yue'er has good eyesight. The bird skirt on Wen'er was made for her by the Ai family by ordering Si Shanggong after she married into the Zichen Palace. It took a long time. Take a look, is her craftsmanship the same as before?
How about waiting?" the Empress Dowager asked slowly.
Qiao Xinyue's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly responded: "It turns out that the Empress Dowager had prepared it a long time ago. It's great to be your granddaughter-in-law!"
The Empress Dowager took a deep look at her and did not trouble her, "Let's go and see the great-grandson and great-granddaughter of the Ai family. They are a pair of treasures."
"That's right! I'm just here to see them today. I've never seen a twin of a dragon and a phoenix." The Duke's wife immediately picked up the words and felt that her daughter was really reckless! She hasn't let go yet, what a sin.
!
Fortunately, all the female family members supported the Empress Dowager, and they were already cheering for the Empress Dowager to enter the table. However, they entered the table almost at the same time as the male guests who were introduced to the table by Ye Chenfeng.
The emperor, who was attracted to Mei Wen'er at first sight, saw that she was sitting obediently next to the Empress Dowager. He was enjoying his eyesight when Ye Chenfeng beside him passed by him and broke into the painting, which was annoying!
But the emperor was very calm this time. He was waiting! But Qiao Xinyue, who was in a similar mood to him, was not so patient. She had already left the table in the name of Gong.
The emperor saw this and glanced at He Huicong, who immediately understood. After a while -
Qiao Xinyue was walking in the courtyard of the palace when she was stopped by Xiaoying dressed in black, "Miss Qiao San, my princess has invited you."
At the same time, Ye Chenfeng, who was entertaining the guests and waiting for his young wife to bring their children to the table, was told by Yun Zhong in a whisper, "Your Majesty, please come over first."
