MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 213 Congratulations to the nobles

 Hearing this, Madam Wei’s wife also had the same idea.

"Our family, Lian, must not be angry. We must not 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 a look at these princes and princes.

 But things are different now.

How can a mere daughter of a clan be favored by the prince? She has even been ordered to enter the East Palace as a concubine in a few days, but she can only pick and choose among the princes and 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 call her empress?

 Therefore, Wei Jialian was not happy.

 So I have made great efforts to show off my talents today and let those who come to watch the ceremony have a good look. She is the treasure of the Wei family and a serious noble daughter.

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

Thinking of this, I feel much better because of the sudden rise of the General's Mansion.

 “Keep putting makeup on your daughter, I understand.”

Mrs. 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 etiquette was done according to the rules, and there was nothing sloppy about it.

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

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

Although the 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 Ji who had not yet been engaged.

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

 But the young master looked at him and responded in a gentle and polite manner, 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.

After all, although the young master is also interested in the power in the hands of the Wei family, the premise is that he does not offend the prince. If he had to choose one among them, anyone with brains would probably choose the prince.

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

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

Like his father, Shiro went around 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 will not have anything to do with the Wei family. I wonder if Sixth Brother will 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 were a little surprised in their eyes.

The prince's intention is already very obvious. He obviously doesn't want to have anything to do with the Wei family, but the fourth prince is rushing to celebrate. Is 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 have met the fourth prince and the seventh prince." "Wei Taiwei does not need to be polite. Today is a lively event for your Wei family. I and my seventh brother are here to congratulate me. Do you want to disturb me?"

“The fourth prince was joking. If you can come, the whole house will become brighter.”

 The polite words come one after another. Although it is a scene, they are all indispensable.

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

 His current status is very special.

Although outsiders know that there is discord between the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion, he is the biological father of Shang Ji, the General's Mansion. This blood connection makes it impossible for people to really ignore him.

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

“I didn’t see the Duke of Guo during the canal tour two days ago. I look like he looks good today. You should take good care of yourself.”

 His words made Shang Yukuan a little flattered.

 But he quickly replied in a respectful manner.

 “The fourth prince is worried, I must take care of myself.”

"That's good."

　　After finishing speaking, he went to talk to other ministers. At this time, he felt like a fish in water.

 Compared to the Fourth Prince's long sleeves and good dancing skills, 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 a little when talking to others.

Although Shang Qilang did not witness the events of 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 commotion was.

It is said that the imperial concubine summoned the seventh prince to 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 scolded?

However, looking at the way he is today, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.

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 thinking about this, Shang Qilang knew why these two princes appeared here today.

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

 It is still possible to interact among the powerful, so that's why the Wei family's situation happened easily.

 One is to rectify one’s name.

Secondly, I am afraid that I have the intention of fighting with the prince.

 And the Wei family, or the 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 did not want to be involved in the fight between the 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 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 it was a bit bad for Shang Qilang.

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.
