Chapter 204 This hat is so green 27
Fengyi Palace.
It's greeting day again.
In the main hall, several concubines had just finished a topic.
"The Queen, I have something to ask the Queen for help with."
Li Fei said carefully.
"Oh, what's the matter with Concubine Li? Just tell me."
The Queen knew clearly. She knew that Concubine Li had been showing off to the Eleventh Prince recently, and now it seemed that there was a candidate for her.
"This matter still needs to be checked by the Queen."
Concubine Li did not hide her behavior. It was perfectly normal to find a daughter-in-law for her son.
"Eleven years old is already old. He will get married and have children as soon as possible. He will calm down and become more stable, so that I can rest assured."
The Queen smiled and nodded, "Very good, do you have anyone you like?"
"To be honest, I have been spoiled for choice these days. Whether it's this or that, I really don't know how to make a decision? Why don't you come to the Queen for some advice?"
Li Fei was smiling, but she didn't seem to be worried at all.
The queen doesn't mind selling her well, and the prince also needs the support of his brothers, so that his position will be more stable. Especially since the eleventh prince has a wealthy Ji family behind him.
"Why don't we hold a flower-viewing banquet? It just so happens that the palace will also take this opportunity to be lively and lively."
"Thank you, Queen."
Concubine Qi was unhappy. Her son had not made so much fanfare when looking for a wife. Seeing her rival in such glory, she couldn't sit still.
"The Queen is too partial. She held a banquet specifically for the eleventh prince to get a wife. Is it inappropriate to be so extravagant and wasteful?"
As soon as one person objects, there will be a second and a third.
"I will bear the money for this banquet alone. Is Sister Qi satisfied?"
Concubine Li and Concubine Qi looked at each other, determined, and they couldn't help but want to stab each other in their eyes.
"Hmph, it smells like copper."
Concubine Qi, who came from a family of officials, looked down upon Concubine Li, who came from a merchant family. This was one of the reasons why the two became enemies.
Hearing that Concubine Li paid for it herself, the smile on the queen's face became more sincere.
In an instant, she thought of the Twelve Princes, and the corners of her mouth lowered.
She is the legitimate mother of all the princes and daughters in the harem, but under normal circumstances, she does not need to worry about anything. They have their mothers and concubines to take care of them, and there are so many servants.
But getting married is different.
The twelfth biological mother died young, which meant that she would have to worry about everything in the future. She really didn't want to do this kind of job that she should do well but complain about if she didn't do it well.
Why don't we just use this banquet to help Twelve get to know each other?
After all, Eleven and Twelve are the same age, and they are behind Twelve. It would be bad if His Majesty becomes unhappy because of this matter and feels that she, the Queen, has not fulfilled her responsibilities.
Thinking of His Majesty's special treatment of the Twelve Princes, the Queen was also very upset. Adding twelve, Li Fei cannot afford all this money alone.
"I'll also give you a sum of money."
The queen suddenly spoke, interrupting the eye contest between Concubine Li and Concubine Qi.
Concubine Li looked surprised, and the noble concubine Xian Fei and other high-ranking concubines also looked at the queen in surprise.
The queen always stayed out of the grievances between her concubines and let them fight. This time she is obviously favoring Concubine Li. Is the Queen trying to win over Concubine Li?
When they thought of the Ji family behind Concubine Li, they understood.
After all, money is something that is absolutely indispensable.
The queen ignored their looks and explained to herself: "Eleven and twelve are similar in age, and twelve is not... As my aunt, I naturally have to consider him, so let's see him together this time. "
At this time, it was difficult for others to refute. The reputation of the Twelve Princes originated from His Majesty's connivance.
No, after the greetings, when Emperor Liang heard about this, he immediately took a sum of money from his private treasury to sponsor the banquet.
Emperor Liang made the beginning. In order to leave a good impression on Emperor Liang, all the masters in the palace also spent money and people to make this banquet a perfect one.
The size of the banquet grew bigger and bigger, and the queen finally had no choice but to turn the blind date banquet between the two princes into a blind date banquet for the top class in the entire capital. The invited people are all well-known families in the capital.
In the court, many officials also heard about this and were looking forward to receiving invitations, which was a symbol of status. Suddenly, invitations to the banquet were hard to come by.
In fact, there are many such blind date banquets in the capital, such as the Spring Festival Banquet of the eldest princess, the Peach Blossom Banquet of Mrs. Du Guogong, etc. Every banquet can bring together several couples.
This was the first time that the Queen took the lead in organizing a blind date banquet.
Those who have unmarried children at home are very excited. They don't expect to become a prince and concubine, as long as they find someone with a comparable status at the banquet.
This matter spread throughout the upper echelons, and Yuan Xi was confused when he received the invitation.
When did he agree to attend the blind date party? Wasn't he looking for a wife for Brother Eleven?
Looking at the date, it happened to be the last day of his vacation.
Yuan Xi's face suddenly drooped, feeling depressed.
The princes had a two-month vacation after moving out of the palace. This time was used for them to deal with the affairs of the palace and hold banquets such as hotpot banquets.
"Your Majesty, you don't want to go?"
Xiao Xizi next to him was a little embarrassed. His master was so willful that he couldn't hold him back. He had better think of a suitable excuse for the prince in advance so that he could deal with the palace.
Before he could think hard, Yuan Xi lay on the table and sighed: "No, I just naturally don't like the last day of the holiday being occupied, which makes me feel like I am forced to work overtime."
Xiao Xizi didn't understand what working overtime meant. She figured it out based on Yuan Xi's demeanor and tone, and said in a low voice: "But, Your Majesty, you don't have a job and don't have to go to court, so why should you talk about working overtime?"
Yuan Xi suddenly stood up and raised his head from the desk, staring straight at Xiao Xizi.
Xiao Xizi felt uncomfortable being stared at, "Your Majesty, did I say the wrong thing?"
Could it be that he misunderstood the meaning of the prince's words?
Yuan Xi shook his head, "No, you are right."
"Hahaha, I just said I forgot something, and it turned out to be this."
After the prince leaves the palace, he will usually be assigned to take up some idle positions in various departments of the court and learn to handle the affairs of the court. The prince had served in the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Punishment, and the other princes were no less generous.
In addition to the Ministry of War, those in charge of the military power within the Liang Kingdom were forbidden by the Liang Emperor, and even the prince could not touch them.
At present, all the princes in court have never contacted the Ministry of War, and they dare not.
As a prince, if you go beyond the Liang Emperor and make friends with the officials of the Ministry of War, you will definitely be rejected by the Liang Emperor.
Emperor Liang: I am still alive, what do you want to do one by one? Force the palace to rebel?
After Yuan Xi was reminded by Xiao Xizi, he remembered that he was not serving in the court yet and had a holiday every day.
Even if you want to serve in the imperial court in the future, you can still tell your father to go to a quiet place like the Ministry of Rites and hang your name. Just like the original owner, you can just punch in and leave every day, and no one dares to care.
"Xiao Xizi, you are right. After following me for a long time, my mind has become smarter."
"I will go and participate in the Flower Appreciation Banquet and keep an eye on it for the Eleventh Emperor."
