My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei's wife also meant the same thing.

"Our family, Lian, can't be angry. We can't let those villains succeed. The prince and his son are here today. Do you remember what mother said to you?"

Wei Jialian was speechless, but she kept complaining in her heart.

She naturally remembered her mother's words. If there hadn't been the incident of putting flowers on the boat, she might have been able to take another look at these princes and princes.

But now it's different.

Why could a mere daughter of a clan be favored by the prince? She had even been ordered to enter the East Palace as a concubine in a few days, but she could only pick and choose among the prince's sons.

It's better now, she's just the prince's concubine, but if the prince ascends the throne in the future, then when she sees Zong Li again, won't she have to be shorter and say "empress"?

Therefore, Wei Jialian was not happy.

So I have put all my efforts into showing off my skills today, so that those who come to watch the ceremony can take a good look at her. She is the treasure of the Wei family and a serious noble daughter.

Who can get married to her, but it is a great opportunity that can only be obtained by accumulating good fortune and virtue in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Bu Yu felt much better because of the rise of the General's Mansion just now.

"Keep putting makeup on your daughter, I understand."

The eldest wife of the Wei family glanced at her daughter, and then looked at each other again. She was full of confidence in today's hairpin banquet.

Especially the position of Crown Princess is inevitable.

Today's ceremony was done according to the rules, and there was nothing sloppy about it.

Moreover, the Wei family specially chose the front hall to watch the ceremony, making it both decent and lively.

Wei Taiwei and his children and grandchildren were all waiting for guests in the front hall, chatting and laughing with the dignitaries who congratulated them.

Although several old princes from Prince De's Palace, Prince Bin's Palace, and Prince Min's Palace did not come, the princess and the princes were still present. However, it was not only the prince who came to Prince Min's Palace today, but also the young master who had not yet been engaged.

What this means is already obvious, so the people of the Wei family are more concerned about him.

But the young master looked at him and responded gently and politely, but the smile in his eyes did not reach his eyes.

the reason is simple.

Today, no one came to the East Palace, no one from the Guo family, no one from the General's Mansion, and no one from the Zong family who were usually friends with the Wei family.

This meaning is also very obvious. Different ways do not work together.

Although Young Master Zhu is also interested in the power in the hands of the Wei family, the premise is that he does not offend the Crown Prince. If he had to choose one among them, anyone with a brain would probably choose His Highness the Crown Prince.

Therefore, although she answered politely, her heart was not necessarily focused on this haircut ceremony banquet.

The Duke Shang Yukuan also brought Silang and Qilang with him today. Shang Zhihe's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he did not go out.

Shiro, like his father, was socializing and socializing as if nothing happened.

Only Shang Qilang, who was sober and restrained, watched the scene with cold eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

His guess was indeed correct. The prince, the Guo family and the General's Mansion would not have anything to do with the Wei family. He didn't know if Sixth Brother would be in trouble because of his relationship with the Wei family in the future. That would be troublesome.

Just when I was thinking about how to go about my official career in the future, I heard a sound coming from the front hall.

"The fourth prince has arrived, the seventh prince has arrived."

Hearing this, the people who came to watch the ceremony showed some surprise in their eyes.

The prince's intention was already obvious. He obviously didn't want to have anything to do with the Wei family, but the fourth prince rushed up to celebrate. Was this his intention to get the Wei family to take sides?

Taiwei Wei's eyes flashed with excitement, and he took his children and grandchildren to greet them in person.

"Old ministers (chen and others) have met the fourth prince and met the seventh prince."

"Lieutenant Wei, there is no need to be polite. Today is a lively event for your Wei family. I and my seventh brother are here to congratulate you. Do you want to disturb me?"

"The fourth prince is joking. If you can come, the whole house will be filled with glory."

One polite word after another, although it is a scene, they are all indispensable.

After Wei Taiwei welcomed the two princes into the house, the Duke Shang Yukuan also took his son and walked over to greet them.

His current status is very special.

Although outsiders knew that there was discord between the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion, he was the biological father of Shang Ji from the General's Mansion. This blood connection made it impossible for people to ignore him.

So when the fourth prince saw him, he smiled and said hello.

"I didn't see the Duke during the canal tour two days ago. He looks good today. You should take care of yourself."

His words made Shang Yukuan a little flattered.

But he still answered quickly and respectfully.

"The fourth prince is worried. I must take care of myself."

"That's good."

After finishing speaking, he went to talk to other ministers. He seemed to be at ease in this situation.

Compared to the fourth prince who was good at dancing, the seventh prince following him was much more low-key.

Probably because of the incident with Miss Zhao during the Lantern Festival, he didn't look very energetic today, and even looked away slightly when talking to others.

Although Shang Qilang did not witness what happened on that day with his own eyes, the noise was so loud that even those of them who were not present heard about it, so one can imagine how big the fuss was.

It is said that the imperial concubine summoned the seventh prince into the palace on the second day. What exactly happened is unknown to outsiders.

I only heard that people walked in, but when they came out, they only saw carriages. I don’t know if they were beaten or reprimanded?

However, looking at the way he is today, it seems that there is nothing serious.

After all, he is a prince, and there is a noble concubine taking care of him. I think even if His Majesty is angry, it is probably just a temporary anger.

After understanding this, Shang Qilang knew why these two princes appeared here today.

Isn't it just to let the world know that even if the Zhao family incident happened, they have not fallen out of favor?

It is still possible to interact among the rich and powerful, so that's why the Wei family ended up in this situation.

One is to rectify one's name.

Secondly, I am afraid that he is also thinking of fighting against the prince.

And the Wei family, or these people invited to the Wei family's banquet, are also the powerful officials he wants to win over.

After looking at the back of the fourth prince, Shang Qilang found an excuse and left the front hall silently.

He didn't want to be involved in the fight between the crown prince and the fourth prince. He still had some ambitions that he wanted to display in the court, so he wanted to vote for the crown prince from the beginning.

However, because of the relationship with the Wei family, it was so difficult for him to get close to his sixth brother Shang Ji, let alone the prince.

So for Shang Qilang, it was a bit disappointing.

But a capable person never complains about the difficult environment. He believes that if he can stand out from the spring, he will be able to do what he wants to do and become the person he wants to be in the future.
