Chapter 50 Banquet 1
No matter how aggrieved the two were, the family recognition banquet held by Princess Ning arrived as scheduled.
Early in the morning, Madam Shu brought the maid who was best at combing hair to Shu Yuwan's small courtyard.
"Why did you come so early, mother?"
Madam Shu smiled and said, "Your matter is important, of course you come for important matters. I brought Qiuyu with me. This girl is the best at combing hair in our mansion. She must dress up a little today."
Madam Shu arranged for people, looked around and didn't see the child, so she asked, "Where is Yue'er?"
Shu Yuwan smiled and said, "Yue'er is still asleep."
"Are you bringing Yue'er with you today?" Madam Shu asked. "Princess Ning also invited people from the Anding Marquis's Mansion."
Shu Yuwan shook her head, "Then I won't bring her."
"Then leave a few more people for a while. It will probably take a whole day today." Madam Shu instructed.
"Well, we'll leave the wet nurse, Madam Zhao, and Qingdai behind for a while."
Shu Yuwan put on the red jade headpiece that Princess Ning gave her. Qiuyu made her hair according to the headpiece, and also matched her clothes and makeup.
"Okay, Miss, take a look to see if there's anything wrong." Qiuyu said respectfully.
Shu Yuwan smiled and said, "Qiuyu's craftsmanship is naturally excellent."
"It's because Miss is beautiful."
Shu Yuwan looked at the person in the mirror. After Qiuyu made her look better, she looked quite bright and beautiful.
Mrs. Shu was also happy to see her: "My Wanwan is so beautiful. You didn't notice it before, but now she is calmer and looks more and more like me."
The maids in the room couldn't help but laugh, and Shu Yuwan also laughed: "Mother, are you going to praise me or yourself?"
Mrs. Shu pulled her daughter: "Of course you will praise both."
The mother and daughter packed up all the things they needed, and went to see Yue'er who was still sleeping before going out. They asked Mother Zhao and Qingdai to take good care of her, and then set off for the Ning Wang Mansion.
The carriage drove all the way and soon arrived at the Ning Wang Mansion.
At the gate of the palace, the Ning Wang's son was already waiting at the gate.
"Madam Shu, sister-in-law!"
When Prince Ning saw Shu Yuwan getting off the carriage, his eyes lit up. He then suppressed the surprise in his eyes, suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "Except my mother, there are no other female relatives in the family. My mother is busy, so she asked me to pick up Madam Shu and sister-in-law at the door."
Madam Shu looked at the Prince Ning who was very different from the past, and felt sorry for it, but she also knew that now, she had picked up a huge bargain.
She said in a gentle voice: "Thank you, Prince."
Prince Ning and Nanny Guan led Madam Shu and Shu Yuwan into the palace.
Not long after, Princess Ning came over.
Madam Shu and Shu Yuwan greeted each other: "Greetings, Princess."
"Get up quickly." Princess Ning lifted Madam Shu up and pulled Shu Yuwan over: "I told your brother to wait for you at the gate of the mansion early in the morning." She looked at Madam Shu again: "Thanks to Madam Shu, I will have a lovely sister in the future."
Madam Shu hurriedly said: "Thanks to the princess for promoting me, it is Wanwan's blessing."
Prince Ning stood behind Princess Ning all the time, looking at Shu Yuwan, and suddenly felt that it was good now. No matter who she married in the future, or whether she lived alone for the rest of her life, she would always be his sister, and he could always protect her and accompany her as a brother.
After several people exchanged greetings, Nanny Guan came in and reported to Princess Ning: "Princess, there are guests."
Princess Ning took Shu Yuwan's hand and said: "Wanwan, come with me to entertain the guests."
Although she knew that Princess Ning was trying to save her face, Shu Yuwan didn't want to be in the limelight like this. Moreover, she knew in her heart why Princess Ning recognized her as her adopted daughter. She was not the real master of the Ning Palace.
"I haven't been to the Ning Palace yet. I want to enjoy the flowers in the garden. I wonder if my adopted mother can allow Wanwan to take a break today."
Princess Ning smiled and said: "In this case, Wanwan will walk around the palace with Madam Shu, so that she can get familiar with it later."
Shu Yuwan and Madam Shu walked around the garden of the Ning Palace twice, and then sat down to drink tea for a while. The banquet finally began.
After Shu Yuwan and Mrs. Shu sat down, they looked around and found that the Ning Wangfei had invited almost all the noble ladies who had good relations with the Ning Wangfu, which showed how much she valued Shu Yuwan. Sitting at the top was the host of the banquet, the Ning Wangfei, and on her left was the Wang family's Madam Jiang, and on her right was Princess Changning.
The witnesses invited today were these two. Madam Jiang was the wife of the head of the Wang family, and the Ning Wangfei's sister-in-law. Princess Changning was the sister of the current emperor and the Ning Wangye. Her husband died early, and Princess Changning had been a widow. It was because the Ning Wangfei and Princess Changning had a close personal relationship when they were young that they were able to invite them.
The standard of witnesses can be said to be very high.
Madam Shu exchanged greetings with several ladies she knew well, and then she heard Princess Ning say with a smile: "Everyone knows that the main purpose of holding such a banquet today is to invite you to witness it. In the future, I will have more daughters."
She waved to Shu Yuwan: "Wanwan."
After Shu Yuwan paid her respects to Madam Jiang and Princess Changning, she kowtowed to Princess Ning: "Adoptive mother."
Princess Ning helped Shu Yuwan up: "Okay, okay, from now on, just call me mother like Sheng'er."
"Yes, mother."
Princess Ning took out two "Adoptive Mother Documents" and handed them to Madam Jiang and Princess Changning. The two wrote their names in the witness section of the documents respectively. Princess Ning took out one and handed it to Shu Yuwan. Shu Yuwan kowtowed to Princess Ning three times again, took the document, and the recognition ceremony was completed.
Shu Yuwan returned to her original seat.
Princess Changning also stood up and said to Princess Ning: "I won't be needed later, right? I'll go back first."
Princess Ning also knew that Changning basically didn't go out now, and coming here was a face-saving thing for her. She nodded and said, "I'll see the princess off."
Princess Changning waved her hand and stood up to leave: "No need, today is a good day for the emperor's sister-in-law to recognize her daughter, stay and accompany the little girl."
Everyone behind her stood up: "Farewell Princess Changning!"
Princess Ning was not polite to Princess Changning. She sent her to the outside of the banquet hall and asked Nanny Guan to accompany her to the door of the Ning Palace, and then returned. After all, the newly recognized daughter and all the guests were still there.
In the banquet hall, as soon as Princess Ning left, Wei, the wife of Anding Hou, came to Mrs. Shu and said, "Xiangya, congratulations, I'm happy that Yuwan is doing well." Zhao Qingqing was very conspicuous behind Wei. After all, people around her tried to avoid the places she walked and kept a certain distance from her.
Madam Shu and Madam Anding Hou are both from the Wei family, from the same clan, and originally had a good relationship. Madam Shu also knew that Madam Anding Hou was not a bad person, but when she saw Zhao Qingqing behind her, she instantly lost her temper.
She said with a fake smile: "I don't deserve Madam Anding Hou's congratulations. As long as Madam Anding Hou and Madam An San Shao let us Yu Wan live in peace in the future, it will be a blessing."
