Chapter 171: There is no good banquet (1)

The flower viewing banquet organized by the government of Anguo is very grand. Although the ink corruption case has been affected recently, no family or government dares to have a big banquet. However, An Guogong's mansion is the Empress Dowager's natal family, and An Guogong had relinquished the real power in his hands when the Empress Dowager was still the Empress, in order to avoid suspicion, and became a leisurely dignitary.

There was an endless stream of horses and carriages in front of the An Guogong's mansion, and the wives and relatives of each family got out of the carriage. When they looked up and saw a four-four horse-drawn carriage with the emblem of the palace, they couldn't help but have subtle expressions.

When she saw the girl in lotus satin skirt with exquisite eyebrows stepping out of the carriage with the curtains lifted, the expressions of the people in front of the door became more subtle, but no one went forward to greet her.

On weekdays, Qing Dai, as Princess Ding, whether she is attending a palace banquet or winter hunting in the paddock, there will always be women and relatives of high or low status around her to talk to her, but now there is only the eldest and young lady in front of the Duke An's mansion. Break the awkward atmosphere and welcome her into the mansion.

Qing Dai doesn't care either, it's easy to make icing on the cake, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Although she is still Princess Ding now, her natal family's Yu Mansion is in trouble, and her future is uncertain in the case of ink corruption. It is only normal for others to hold a wait-and-see attitude and not make friends with her.

The eldest young lady sent her to the vertical flower gate, then turned around and went to the outer door to welcome the guests. A maid guarded by the vertical flower gate led her to a flower hall.

In the flower hall, there are already many girls and family members seated in threes and twos. On one side of the flower hall is the famous capital flower house in Anguo Gong's mansion. The whole flower house is covered by transparent glass. From the outside, you can see the colorful and colorful flowers inside. It is a spring day. scene.

After about a quarter of an hour, Mrs. An Guogong also came to the flower hall, and greeted the female relatives with a gentle smile. Mrs. An Guogong is the younger sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager, about forty-five years old, with a round face like a silver plate, wearing a red-brown silk gown.

Even if Qingdai is being treated coldly by all the wives, Mrs. An Guogong, who is the head of the family, never neglected her, and asked her a few words from time to time, "The tea is good for your appetite", "Wangfei can go to the greenhouse for a while".

With a slight smile on her face, Qing Dai echoed her words while watching the way from the corner of her eye.

When the anxiety in her heart was about to reach its peak, she finally saw Tao Xiang hurried into the flower hall, stood behind her, and stroked her arm secretly.
