Chapter 337 Banquet
……
The night is long.
When I think about it again, I remember the sound of peanuts exploding on the stove.
A clicking sound.
……
"Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap."
There were gongs and drums beating at the entrance of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, and it was very lively.
Today is the day when the seventh prince marries his concubine.
The person given by the emperor, who is said to be a concubine, cannot be placed in the palace without knowing it.
If he didn't obey the order, the emperor would think that he had a grudge in his heart.
Today is a day of great joy for the Seventh Prince.
He also hosted a banquet for his brothers.
And his current cousin Jiang Erlang.
Several brothers came with gifts, but of course they didn't bring their wives.
After all, you are marrying a concubine, and taking a daughter-in-law is a bit too embarrassing for the concubine.
Jiang Erlang also came to the door.
In fact, he was originally the younger brother of the seventh prince's concubine Jiang Yuluan.
Now he is the cousin of the seventh prince.
It seems like they are all related...
Anyway, Jiang Erlang thought that the seventh prince was quite handsome. In terms of appearance, he was a rare and upright man.
The smile also feels generous and generous.
The conversation is also very cordial.
But I don't like it by nature.
There is a natural feeling of disgust.
For no reason.
But Jiang Changtian still accepted the invitation.
If you hate a person, either stay away from him or bury him.
Jiang Changtian chose the latter.
After all, we can't stay away from each other. We are related to each other, so we can only be a filial cousin and make plans for my cousin's future.
……
The Seventh Prince's Mansion is also located in a relatively remote location in the city.
The emperor hates a person, and it will show in all aspects. If the emperor himself does not operate it, his subordinates will understand the meaning and even over-interpret it.
Therefore, the location of the Seventh Prince's Mansion is very remote.
We even reached the edge of the city, with a mountain behind us.
Others feel biased when they see it.
However, Jiang Changtian felt that the Seventh Prince was in an excellent position, with mountains and rivers. There was no better place in the entire capital.
But everyone actually only saw the position.
Because it's remote and the territory is larger, it probably won't be considered a violation.
When a good person sees how big other people's homes are, they may sigh, "It's so big."
The bad guy Jiang Changtian was a little angry when he saw that other people's houses were so big. They were too insidious and cunning. They were even more insidious and cunning than him. They were too pretentious.
As the gongs and drums of the Seventh Prince's Mansion were beating.
The servants, rows of girls, came out to light the lamps.
Well trained.
The fifth prince was rubbing Buddhist beads in his hands. He was so stingy that he didn't even plan to give Buddhist scriptures as a gift today, so he brought a piece of golden and wise words as a gift: "Old Seven, the Buddha said that the love between husband and wife is caused by the cause and effect of three lives. Don't be obsessed with beauty. pervert."
Jiang Yuluan had never liked the fifth prince, and felt that the fifth prince was stingy and nagging.
But this time she gritted her teeth and came forward to greet people. When she heard the fifth prince's words, she almost burst into tears.
But seeing the new man laugh, the old man weeps when he hears it.
Jiang Yuluan, as the seventh prince's concubine and a girl who grew up with Princess Huiyun, is actually quite capable.
Her appearance is beautiful and generous, and her behavior is smooth and comfortable. She does not look like a woman who lives in the inner house.
Although she is old, she looks very young probably because she has never given birth to a child.
The seventh prince was shocked by what Fifth Brother said. Even though Fifth Brother was addicted to Buddhism, it did not stop the fact that there were many beauties in Fifth Brother's house. Others could say this, but Fifth Brother could not. In Fifth Brother's house, the concubine was directly in charge. The emperor's sister-in-law, like the fifth brother, now goes to chant sutras every day.
He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man. Although the fifth brother wanted to be beaten, the seventh prince tolerated it and accepted it humbly.
The Sixth Prince's performance was a bit worse during the earthquake last time. He was a little annoyed when he went back. Why did he avoid it at that time? He instinctively avoided it. Oops!
However, the father gave a palace maid to Lao Qi. When he returned, he asked someone to investigate the background of the palace maid.
I wanted to see if there was anything to make a fuss about, but after a round of investigation, I found that the palace maid seemed to be a member of my father's family. The emperor probably didn't trust Lao Qi as he didn't know if there was someone from his father's family in his palace.
The sixth prince politely presented a plate of pomegranate and gemstone flowers.
Jiang Yuluan was a little unhappy. When she got married, the sixth prince also gave her pomegranate and gemstone flowers.
Other princes sent people to deliver gifts.
Lao Jiu came to the house in person and brought a pot of red coral, which was quite valuable.
Jiang Changtian also brought a gift, and he gave a basket of whole grains such as nuts, which meant a good harvest and many children.
People would give this as a gift.
Jiang Changtian also gave this.
He said openly in front of Jiang Yuluan: "I wish seventh brother a happy marriage and a son soon."
There was no way, after all, he accidentally killed the seventh prince's son, reducing his family's population by one, and he wanted to bring blessings here.
When Jiang Yuluan saw Jiang Changtian, he was speechless.
Half of her childhood memories are of her grandmother, and half of her memories are of Princess Huiyun.
The eldest princess treats her very well, and even her marriage is due to the eldest princess.
Her mother was replaced by the son of the eldest princess.
He held the eldest princess's child in his arms, but he didn't treat her well.
Jiang Yuluan was a little embarrassed to see Jiang Changtian.
His surname is still Jiang and he has not changed his name.
Grandma also died, and she died in prison. Her death was miserable, and she also received retribution.
No matter what, she was her mother after all.
The person in front of her was also her mother-killing enemy.
Jiang Changtian didn't talk to Jiang Yuluan.
Jiang Yuluan did not take the initiative to speak.
Originally, it was a scam for the princess to preside over her husband's marriage to his concubine. Jiang Yuluan was very depressed and not feeling well, but she didn't want to be ill and be looked down upon by her other sisters-in-law.
Because she grew up under Princess Huiyun, she had a rather arrogant personality and got along well with her sisters-in-law.
The seventh prince had always been very kind to her, and she scorned the other concubines who secretly said they wanted to choose concubines for her husband.
At that time, she was also a person who had a clear distinction between love and hate, and loved vigorously.
Everything is consistent with Princess Huiyun's claims.
Just now.
Life had worn away her pride, and she even generously arranged a banquet for her husband to marry his concubine.
It was a small family banquet. The seventh prince did not hold a big banquet, just his brothers.
There were no courtiers to give gifts, so the seventh prince was very cautious.
Walk all the way to the mansion.
It can be seen that the servants in the Seventh Prince's Mansion are very well-trained.
The Sixth Prince felt that Lao Qi was indeed very sinister.
A wife who always acts out is incapable of taking care of things, is innocent, and just wants to be in love.
Let everyone think that the seventh prince's mansion must be in chaos.
As a result, the government's orders and prohibitions were strictly followed, and the seventh prince's concubine was wronged quite miserably.
Lao Qi is really interesting. He makes a fuss about his wife every day.
In fact, the sixth prince mistakenly blamed the seventh prince. Sometimes there was a bit of chaos in the palace. The seventh prince was very relaxed towards Jiang Yuluan. He had been telling the outside world that he loved his wife for decades, but he himself believed it.
The current situation in the mansion is partly due to the fact that Yuluan's niece Jiang Wan is the Liu Fairy. Such a little girl did not expect that she would be able to manage a place just because she was a guest.
There is also the new side concubine Song He. Song He is well-trained and is equivalent to the emperor's secret. She is more than enough to manage a palace. After all, in the palace, there are thousands of troops competing for the position in front of the emperor. He was born from thousands of horses and has strong working ability.
The seventh prince used her as his subordinate, and she was just like before.
Very self-aware, the Seventh Prince said that he loved his wife, and marrying her was just to give the emperor an explanation and let her see her position clearly.
Song He was very sober and regarded himself as a grandma.
Be familiar with the road and continue to take care of things.
But the seventh prince's concubine Jiang Yuluan felt that this time was different and that she was threatened.
Not to mention how the seventh prince was comforted.
Anyway, the brothers ate, drank, and chatted lively.
Jiang Changtian even felt that the Seventh Prince was too deep in the city.
He knew clearly that he was the one who killed his second son, but he actually sent people to kill his dear cousin, the eldest cousin, and the younger cousin. He even sent so many people in one go. At that time, he was nothing.
So many people were sent casually, so how many people the Seventh Prince actually has is unfathomable. I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket of the people the Seventh Prince has.
There are so many people for a small shrimp like you.
too frightening.
Jiang Changtian cheered up.
At this moment, the seventh prince's expression was very friendly. He looked like he had drunk too much. He took his hand and called him his cousin.
Then he opened his mouth and shut up Yuluan, and was supported by the servants to go to the bridal chamber. They all called Yuluan directly, and went to the seventh prince's concubine.
In the concubine's room, Song He was wearing a pink wedding dress.
Sit calmly, sit outside and be quiet, take off your coat and head covering, wash yourself, and lie down.
Lying down flat.
She slept peacefully, with her hands on her chest, like a peaceful corpse.
