On October 30th, although it was still cold, but luckily, it was a sunny day, after breakfast, Queen's Consort started to get busy.

Shen Qi was dressed in her usual princess attire and wore the emerald mask that the empress dowager had bestowed upon her. On her wrist was a bracelet with old pit ice and glutinous seeds.

brought the few misses from the Duke's Palace and came over early, saying that they were here to help receive the guests. Shen Qi did not comment, and the idea must not have come from Xie Shihan, as expected, when they first came in, they saw Xie Shihan smiling helplessly at her.

Yan Wan then immediately came forward enthusiastically, "Elder Sister Princess, we have come to help you receive guests. During the dinner at home, we will be the ones to help receive the young misses."

Yan Rui then brought her remaining sisters to pay respects to Shen Qi. Even if they were relatives of outsiders, Shen Qi had the identity of a Queen's Consort after all.

Yan Jiao looked at Shen Qi with a particularly happy smile. The little girl was at the age where she loved to play.

nodded in his heart. Yan Rui was also not like those other girls who would treat their little sisters harshly, and there would definitely not be those scenes where he watched their little sisters lose face outside.

These ladies of great families were well aware of the principle of mutual destruction and prosperity, so there was no such thing as framing each other in the outside world.

No matter what kind of trouble they caused at home, they would always maintain the dignity of the household outside. Otherwise, even if their children were to be disgraced, the final words that would be said would still be the words of the principal wife. If the principal wife's etiquette wasn't good, then they would have to consider the character of the direct daughter she taught.

Therefore, even if the mansion was fighting as if they were in the dark, they still had to show their brotherly and brotherly respect. The sisters would act harmoniously, because if you went out, you didn't represent a single person but the entire mansion, so as long as you weren't stupid to the point of death, you wouldn't do anything that would destroy your own walls.

Shen Qi waved for them to rise, then said to Yan Rui and the others with a smile: "At that time, my cousins are going to help me receive all the misses from different residences."

Yan Rui had yet to speak, but Yan Wan smiled and replied, "Elder Sister Princess, don't worry, leave it to me."

Yan Jiao was puzzled by Yan Wan's actions. "Why did you call her your sister-in-law Elder Sister Princess? It's obviously sister-in-law! " She didn't react, purely out of curiosity.

These words made the other girls blush. This was too embarrassing! Yan Wan secretly glared at Yan Jiao. She secretly resented her for taking down her position and thought that she was doing it on purpose, but she didn't dare to be too rude in front of the wangfei. She explained with a smile, "Isn't it more intimate to call me Elder Sister Princess? Elder Sister Princess? " Then, he asked for Shen Qi's opinion.

Yan Jiao did not like Yan Wan, as she was always against her in the palace. Although she knew that it was not good to say that she was sisters outside, but now, only Shen Qi was not so worried, so she muttered softly, "But obviously you are one year older than my imperial sister-in-law." She knew that the Queen's Consort was still not old enough, and Yan Wan had held her birthday present in April of this year.

Yan Wan had been angry for a long time because of the assassination attempt that time, but she still couldn't do it properly. She felt uncomfortable and even complained a little bit.

Yan Rui glared at Yan Jiao, signalling for her to stop talking. Although Yan Jiao did not like staying with Big Sis, she still respected Big Sis a lot, so she stopped talking and shut her mouth.

"You guys can go over to the east wing to play. Although it's winter, there are some bamboo and pine cypress in the pavilion. From the east wing's window, you can see the lotus pond, a pool of dregs."

Yan Rui brought them over, and Shen Qi and Xie Shihan explained the details, waiting for everyone to come over.

Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion was naturally invited to such an occasion, so when the gatekeeper announced Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion's arrival, Shen Qi knew that her own Second Sister must also have come.

Shen Jianing came with the Madam Hou, who was dressed in a red First Pin Madam's formal attire, with a ruby on her head. She looked kind and easy to talk to when she was smiling at people. When bringing Shen Jianing forward to pay her respects, Shen Qi immediately had Zi Zhu and Zi Li support them, while she smiled and stepped forward, "No need to be overly courteous, you are an elder, you should not ruin this junior's life." Then, he looked at Shen Jianing with a smile. "Has Second Sister been well all along?"

Shen Jianing knew that this wangfei was giving him face, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, wangfei, everything is fine." There was a natural difference between being a daughter and a daughter-in-law. While she could ignore others in her family, she had to abide by the rules in her in-laws' home.

Seeing that the Queen's Consort was actually so intimate with his own Second Sister, the Madam Hou was naturally very happy. Having a little sister with such an identity would definitely be of help to Yang'er in the future. She then asked with a smile, "Has Princess Hua-Yang always been well?"

It's just that after we got married, the time we sisters spent together was lessened. Originally, I wanted to post a post for the Second Sister, but as you know, the Duke Mansion was always busy, and I was unable to find time for it. Shen Qi said with a smile.

Madam Hou was even happier now, this was to add more glory to his daughter-in-law. "If you feel bored, feel free to hand over the invitation.

Shen Qi immediately laughed, "This is what you said. At that time, I will invite Second Sister over a few more times to play.

Madam Hou also knew that Shen Qi was joking with her, and immediately waved her hand while smiling. "Don't worry, I will definitely let her go." They chatted and laughed for a while, then arranged for them to take their seats.

Shen Jianing looked at Shen Qi and revealed a grateful smile. Recently, the manor had been making a ruckus, because she was not yet pregnant. At the moment, Madam Hou was trying to get his own niece to act as a side room for Xue Yang.

With this event, the Madam Hou would probably not be as brazen as she was now. Although the Shen Fei in the palace could not help them at all, because she could not leave the palace at all, Shen Qi was different. She was the official wife of Duke Wei, and although they were both part of the imperial family, she could leave the palace as she wished.

It was very easy to support her sister, and who would dare to provoke King Duan, so the title of Queen's Consort was very useful, then Shen Jianing had earned the attention of the imperial concubine, and Xue Yang still wanted to befriend King Duan, so she had to think twice before doing anything, thus she was really grateful to Shen Qi.

Shen Qi didn't know about this, but she felt that her sister was subconsciously leaning towards her. After all, it wasn't easy to be a daughter-in-law, but she was still alright. She didn't see the empress dowager that often, but the people around her were different.

When everyone arrived, they were led to the Western Warm Pavilion by a maidservant. There were all sorts of dried fruits and snacks, as well as a basket of oranges. They were cut into pieces and placed on a plate.

After meeting the wangfei, the ladies of each residence gathered in the pavilion and spoke in whispers. This was a good time to socialize.

Yan Rui led the young ladies and played in the east wing, and the young miss who was not out of the pavilion had her own social circle, it could be seen at this moment, everyone was busy communicating with each other, there were very few people who actually ate.

Shen Qi naturally accompanied those few ladies. Although she was not very old, she had married and became a woman after all, and her social interaction with those young ladies was different. Furthermore, she had brought a mission with her today.

After waiting for everyone to eat and drink, when communication was almost the same, Shen Qi revealed her goal, "Today, I actually have a presumptuous request to ask of you all." When Shen Qi said this, everyone became silent. They didn't know what the wangfei wanted to do, or how to reject her if it made things difficult for them.

Shen Qi did not mind, but smiled and continued to speak: "Everyone knows that this winter is rather cold, and it seems to be another cold winter. We are holding a feast in a warm pavilion, and there are still tens of thousands of soldiers at the border enduring the cold winter for us.

"Right now, this imperial concubine and the second wife of the crown prince are planning to appeal to everyone to donate the winter clothes that we don't use in our own mansion." Now, this concubine and the second wife of the patriarch are planning to appeal to everyone to donate the winter clothes that we don't use in our own residence.

After saying that, Shen Qi looked down at the thoughtful Madam and asked: "What do you think? If you have any suggestions, just say them, we can correct them anytime. "

The crowd naturally praised him and then expressed their willingness to do their best. This kind of thing wasn't difficult, but it left a good reputation, so everyone was naturally willing to do it.

So, Xie Shihan took the lead and explained how to proceed. She drew a knee pauldrons and distributed it to the ladies. If there were any problems, she would mention it at that time, so the purpose of the banquet could be considered as achieved.
