Since the eldest Miss Lan Cai'er is still in retreat, this time, Lan Yingwu, along with his beloved wife Mrs. Lan and newly recognized Second Miss Lan, went to the palace to participate in the Zhongyuan feast.

Xiadu has already entered autumn. At this time, the fragrance of red osmanthus is fragrant. In Xiadu, the fragrance is filled everywhere.

Early in the morning, Lan Lingyue was carefully groomed by Mrs. Lan, and even General Lan, who was usually sloppy, shaved his beard cleanly. Around evening, the family of three got on the carriage, and the carriage and horses were busy and rushed to the palace. go.

Arrived outside the palace gate, inside and outside the palace, lanterns have been hung up, and according to the grade of the officials, the carriages stopped outside the palace wall in turn.

The Xiadu Palace was built more than a thousand years ago, and it is a palace that covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres.

Over the years, it has been continuously renovated and repaired, and the atmosphere is full of antiques.

"Lingyue, the palace's Mid-Yuan Festival feast is divided into women's banquet and men's banquet. You and your mother are going to attend the women's banquet in the harem. This year's women's banquet is hosted by the empress dowager. All you need is Just follow your mother." Outside the palace, Lan Yingwu separated from the two.

Madam Lan, who was dressed as a third-grade official to serve her, took Lan Lingyue's hand and got into a chariot.

The summer palace, the winding path is deep and deep, and the colorful lights of various colors are like long dragons, reflecting the whole harem brightly lit.

The wives of each family brought their female relatives, dressed in splendor, and got off the carriage one by one.

For the ladies of Xiadu, the annual Mid-Yuan Festival is not just as simple as a feast. In the banquet, in addition to attracting relationships, it is also a good occasion to show yourself and your daughter. The empress dowager or the head mistress of the Hou mansion took a fancy to it and got married.

When Mrs. Lan and Lan Lingyue got off the chariot, they saw a group of noble ladies and lady officials in all their costumes, walking towards the Queen Mother's Palace of Hundred Phoenix.

It has been more than a year since Mrs. Lan left Xiadu, and she was about to say hello to a few ladies she knew in her early years. How could they know that when those noble ladies and ministers' wives saw her and Lan Lingyue, it was like a cat meeting a mouse. , hurriedly avoided.

This was the case with several old acquaintances, which made Mrs. Lan a little embarrassed.

"Mrs. Lan." Just when Mrs. Lan didn't know what to do, there was another chariot beside her, and a woman and a girl got off.

"Lingyue, I met you. I mentioned you to my mother earlier." It was Feng Xue and her mother, Mrs. Feng, who got out of the car.

Mrs. Feng was in her forties and looked very kind.

She had no friendship with Madam Lan at first, but after her daughter Feng Xue and Lan Lingyue became good friends, she was a mother, and she also had a good impression of the Lan family.

Not long after, Liu Cheng's mother also came. She brought two young ladies from Taishi's house, and Liu Cheng went with Liu Taishi to the main hall of the palace for a banquet.

The mothers of the two respected Mrs. Lan very much, but they chatted after a while.

"Fang Cai, I saw everyone avoiding me, what happened?" Mrs. Lan wondered in her heart.

"This... Mrs. Lan, the other ladies are ignoring you. I'm afraid it's because of this post." Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Liu both knew something about this matter, and they both took out a post.

The post came from the Hong Mansion the day before the banquet at the Zhongyuan Palace. All the wives of officials above the fifth rank in the city received this post. They made an appointment to attend the tea banquet at the Hong Mansion.

Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Liu did not go to the banquet because they were not related to the Hong Mansion. However, the ladies who attended the banquet said that there was some unfavorable news about Mrs. Lan at the banquet.

The general idea is that Mrs. Lan is a cowardly and useless person, and even a wild species of unknown origin made her recognize her ancestors.

The second daughter of the Lan family was a rude village woman who could not seduce men. A few days earlier, she and the lady from the Hong Mansion were openly competing for eggs in the animal pet shop.

It's paid, these days, there are not many unmarried daughters in anyone's family. If they get involved with the second lady of the Lan family, if they are brought down, they will even lose their boudoir names. How to get married.

Therefore, other officials' wives will shy away when they see Madam Lan.

"It's a good Hong Mansion, but it's really narrow-minded, but it's just robbing them of a few beast eggs, and actually using this method." Feng Xue on the side heard this, and suddenly became angry and raised the injustice on Ye Lingyue's behalf.

Needless to say, this matter has something to do with Zhuge Rou's mother and daughter.

"Lingyue, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Xiadu's circle. Mother doesn't like to be friends with those people who listen to rumors casually. Let's go in and have a feast." Madam Lan did not take it too seriously .

Her mind was admired by Madam Feng and Madam Liu. The three of them chatted and laughed, and brought their daughters into the Baifeng Palace.

As soon as I entered the Baifeng Palace, most of the seats were already full.

Originally, according to their grades, Mrs. Lan and Ye Lingyue were supposed to sit in the middle. At this time, their positions had been taken by several officials and ladies, and the mother and daughter could only sit at the bottom.

At the banquet, Ye Lingyue suddenly felt two bad looks, and when she looked back, she happened to see Hong Yuying and Nangong Qinglin.

Nangong Qinglin and Hong Yuying exchanged handkerchiefs. The two of them were sitting at the table right now, biting their ears. Ye Lingyue could see that the two must have said nothing good.

However, at the palace banquet, Ye Lingyue didn't see An Minxia. She wanted to come to her daughter, who was bitten on the face by a poisonous bee and had not recovered yet, so she did not dare to attend such a public event.

"Have you seen it? That's the second young lady that Lan Fu just recognized. Look at her appearance, she doesn't even have a decent decoration."

"That's right. Even Miss Lan refused to come to the banquet. She must not recognize this wild species."

In the dark, Ye Lingyue heard all kinds of humming voices, and sighed in her heart, fortunately, Lan Caier hadn't come over in retreat, otherwise, with her hot temper, the palace banquet has not yet started, and there will be a banquet. Palace cursed.

Seeing the mother and daughter of the Lan family, they ignored other people's comments, and the ladies and ladies gradually lost interest, and the topic shifted to some of the favorite topics among women.

For example, the master and young master of which family has been promoted again, and which family has adopted a concubine. From clothing accessories to skin care products, the content of the women's conversations can be described as varied.

"Mrs. Lan, you look so young, but what beauty cream did you use?" Mrs. Feng on the side looked at Mrs. Lan through the dim light.
