1457. Chapter 1457 Banquet

Ye Zhen came a little late today. Originally, she wanted to go to Baihua Garden earlier. Besides choosing companions for Mingyu, she also wanted to talk more with the wives and wives in the capital. After leaving for so many years, the familiar circle must be different. .

"There are a lot of people here today." Jin Shanshan walked beside Ye Zhen, she didn't take Ye Mucheng out today, she came to help her niece choose a companion to read.

Mingyu really misses Xiao Musheng, seeing that her aunt didn't bring her cousin over, her little mouth is still raised high.

"Maybe everyone wants to come to admire the plum blossoms." Ye Zhen said with a smile, she didn't have so many people posting messages, and the number of people who came to Baihua Garden today surprised her.

Jin Shanshan saw several young girls peeking from the sidelines, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm afraid some people don't care about drinking."

The aunt and sister-in-law spoke a few words in a low voice, only they could hear them, and they were quickly interrupted.

When they heard the empress arriving, everyone knelt down to greet her.

"Meet the Empress, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness." The first salutes were Mrs. Wei from Guang Chengbo, and Mrs. Wu who had been close to Mrs. Lu. The older one is now gray-haired, and the years are not forgiving.

Ye Zhen's charming face had a faint smile, "Everyone is welcome, today I just invite you to enjoy the plum blossoms together, so there is no need to be too formal."

The long jacket she is wearing today is embroidered with folded magnolia flowers on a light purple background, and a pink smoked gauze scattered flower skirt under it. She simply combs a biluo hairpin, and the jasper, chan and phoenix hairpins are inserted obliquely in the sideburns. It is obviously just simple. Even though she was dressed up, it made people feel that she was shining like a spring day, and her beauty and beauty made everyone feel overshadowed.

About Lu Yaoyao's beauty, almost everyone has heard of it, but not many people have seen it with their own eyes. Seeing it today is really amazing.

It's no wonder the emperor's affection for her has remained unchanged for so many years, and it's no wonder Lu Yaoyao has become the devil in every woman's heart in the palace.

Ye Zhen was surrounded and entered the lobby. This is the largest courtyard in Baihua Garden. It was only built a few years ago, and it was for the convenience of holding a banquet here.

"Everyone, take your seats." Ye Zhen said with a smile, and asked the palace servants to move Jinwu to the old ladies.

Mingxi and Mingyu stood obediently beside Ye Zhen, accepting everyone's observation generously.

"It just so happens that the weather is fine today. I heard that the plum blossoms in Baihuayuan are blooming well this year, so I want to come and enjoy them. I think that I have been away from the palace for a long time, and I haven't seen you all. Taking advantage of this opportunity today, let everyone come and get together." Ye Zhen said with a smile, but didn't mention that she wanted to choose a companion to read.

Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Guangchengbo, who was standing behind Mrs. Wei, said with a smile, "I have been away from my mother for many years, and my mother still looks beautiful, but we are already very old. God is so unfair."

These words really speak out the hearts of many people. They used to go to the palace to greet the empress on festivals, and they all knew that the empress was born beautiful. However, how many years have passed, and there is still no change at all. It is so eye-catching that people dare not look directly at it.

"That's not true, the empress is really blessed with her natural beauty." Someone followed suit.

The group of flatterers following her were all praising her beauty.

Naturally, Ye Zhen couldn't say that she could maintain the same body as when she was fifteen because of her spiritual spring, she smiled lightly, "Don't make me look like I'm very old, I'm still young."

Her brisk tone made everyone relax, most feared that the Empress would be strict and serious, and would not take any jokes.

Mrs. Wei looked at Ming Xi and Ming Yu who were beside her, "Ma'am, I heard that the prince and princess are twins?"

"Yes, the difference is only a quarter of an hour." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

"One person looks like the emperor, and the other looks like the empress." Madam Wei lamented.

"His Royal Highness is really as exquisite as jade, and will definitely look like the emperor in the future..."

"The princess is really beautiful, and she will be as beautiful as the empress in the future..."

Listening to everyone's flattery, Ye Zhen smiled lightly, she was used to hearing these words before, they said one thing, but they thought another thing, she Never take it to heart.

"I heard that all the granddaughters in Mrs. Wei's family are as beautiful as pearls and jade. You will be blessed when you are old." Mrs. Wei is the mother of Guang Chengbo. After getting married, she has a very good reputation, and she really wants to see the little girl from the Wei family.

Old Mrs. Wei said with a smile, "Your Majesty praised me, those granddaughters of the minister's wife's family are very naughty."

The Chen family behind her had a bad expression when she heard this.

"I heard that there are two girls who are about the same age as Mingyu?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. She naturally knew that Mrs. Wei's words were polite. Since the banquet was held today, why didn't she first find out, which one has it? For a girl of the right age, she already has a certain number in her heart about how her tutor is.

Mrs. Wei nodded, "The third girl is two years older than the princess, and the fourth girl is the same age as the princess. Today, the court wife brought them together. She is afraid that they will play tricks on you, so she let them stay outside by themselves."

Ye Zhen smiled lightly, "Let them come in and bring Mingyu to play together, Mingyu can't sit still, let her accompany us to enjoy the plum blossoms, there will definitely be a ruckus in a while."

"Queen, I don't look at plum blossoms, I have." Mingyu was really worried that she would be taken to the plum blossom grove, as she had followed her uncle to look at them last time.

"I'm really right about you." Ye Zhen nodded her forehead angrily.

Of course, Ye Zhen didn't only see the two little girls from the Wei family. There were eleven of them who were about the same age as Mingyu. They were all from families that Ye Zhen knew. Some of them were not well-known, but they had a good reputation. She didn't care. From a family background, as long as she can get along well with Mingyu, she thinks it's fine.

Before coming to Baihua Garden, Ye Zhen had already told Mingyu that she was going to pick a companion to read with her today, and she had to choose with her heart, and she had to remember who got along well with her.

More than a dozen little girls walked in delicately, all of them were taught at home. Everyone lowered their heads and knelt down to salute Ye Zhen respectfully. People feel comfortable.

"Get up, raise your head and show me." Ye Zhen said with a smile, looking at the two girls standing in front with her clear eyes.

The two girls standing in the front, one tall and one short, are the granddaughters of Mrs. Wei. The younger one is beautiful and cute, and her bright clothes make her look like a peony flower in bud. The taller one The girl looked quiet and well-behaved, with only a pair of eyes that were bright and bright. Unlike her younger sister, she was dressed in plain clothes, not so ostentatious.

Ye Zhen remembered that the third girl seemed to be the eldest daughter of Guang Chengbo, who had lost her mother since she was a child, and grew up beside Mrs. It is the daughter of the Chen family.

She withdrew her gaze and glanced at the other little girls, thinking about it, but the most important thing was for Mingyu to choose by herself.
