The Fourth Princess's Gossip System

171

Soon the room was quiet again, but a few maids came in with hot dishes.

They walk with a table in hand and one by one in front of the guests.

He said guests but they were still his own family.

Like the Jiang family, the sun concubine family and the mo concubine family.

In the dining room of the Zhang mansion, their seats reflected their hierarchy and status within the Zhang family. The seating position is carefully determined, according to the order of importance in the family.

The most important and respected position in the family, here sits Senior Minister Zhang.

As a wise and respected old grandmother, she sat next to the Minister of the Right. Jiang Moyun as the Wife of the Right Minister, she also occupied an important position in the dining room

Zhang's children sit according to their birth order. The first son sits in the leading position after the parents, followed by the second son, and so on according to their birth order.

Meanwhile Zhang Mei, as the First Princess, she occupied a privileged position in the family. She sat next to her brothers, but remained higher in status compared to them because she was the eldest daughter.

As for the Fourth Princess, Zhang Fei sat in his old position in the family.

While the concubines could only sit in the most distant seats, and their tables were also separated.

While the guests sit at another table that has been provided.

The dishes were also in line with winter but zhang fei had absolutely no intention of eating.

Living in a palace with herself as a princess, menuu what she has not eaten. He even dared to give a nice menu to cook by the palace chef.

So zhang Fei's taste really was no longer on the same level as the one they ate today.

As a main course, they enjoy grilled lamb chunks served with a rich, spiced, burgundy sauce. The meat is tender and juicy, emitting warmth in every bite of it. To accompany the meat dish, there is a soft potato puree given a sprinkling of crispy garlic crumbs.

In addition, there are also various roasted vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, and onions baked with a little olive oil to beautiful caramelization. This vegetable provides a sweet and crunchy taste that is balanced with meat dishes.

To add flavor, they also serve spinach salad with a soft avocado cut and savory roasted walnuts, served with fresh balsamic vinaigrette sauce.

As Zhang Mei was pregnant, they also served a special dessert, a soft and sweet caramel pudding, served with a fresh and indulgent slice of fresh peaches.

"Daughter, does this menu not suit your taste?" greet the senior minister.

For this occasion, the right minister really wanted to approach the relationship with the little palace princess.

He saw the boundless potential of zhang Fei considering that he had already twice entered the palace.

At home there are still two more sons who have to climb the olive branch.Here he thought, the olive branch will be sent by the third prince. But who would have thought for a while he started to feel that the opportunity would still come from the Uncle prince's house.

Not from a stupid daughter-in-law but instead came from a daughter who was never considered in her own house.

Meanwhile the asked Zhang Fei raised his head and was surprised for a few seconds but then he started to set his face again.

"dad, this is fine, this Princess is just thinking about the matter of the small palace about what the prince's uncle is doing there.Hem Actually she is a little noisy if she is in the palace"Said zhang Fei who was inviting envy by others.

" then why didn't he just come along, if you're worried?" jiang Moyun said in a low tone of voice.

" oh mom, she's a little slippery while sister's pregnant, so...

Jiang moyun choked when he heard her. Who does not know if actually Uncle Prince is a man with a disease can be cured at all.

Now zhang Mei was pregnant so she could not be exposed to something like that.

Fear of infection.

Soon Jiang moyun waved his hand for this conversation to stop.

The right minister did not expect that the Princess would say such a foolish thing but she thought that nothing else could be discussed.

So immediately, he focused on lifting the dish and ate it voraciously. Rarely do their houses hold a banquet like this so today's dishes are somewhat exaggerated.

Consorts fei also contributed a bit of dishes to this day. Let's just say this is a generous gift from him to the fetus in his bladder.

"Ahh Concubine Zhang, try to eat more, mother wishes if this was the first Son" Jiang said.

Zhang Mei who felt bad immediately melted into his happiness because of this word from his mother.

Zhang Mei hopes that someone will finally ask about her pregnancy, wanting to feel appreciated and given attention to her happiness that awaits the birth of her first child.

But until now, no one has commented on her pregnancy other than her own mother.Sedang father and grandmother like her are having another opinion on their hearts.

Zhang Mei was still silent but why was it when the guests chatted, that Zhang Fei asked even about the clothes and jewelry he was wearing.

Zhang Fei was stealing the attention he should have gotten.He was his star today not zhang Fei.

Although Zhang Mei tried to hold back the anger in her heart, yet her disappointment was clearly visible in her eyes. He tried to smile, but his lips were a little stiff. His heart rumbled with a feeling of being ignored and underappreciated.

Zhang Fei, y was aware of his brother's feelings but he didn't care and replied casually, "Oh, I don't really know about the value of these items. I just took it from the family warehouse without thinking too much about it."

Zhang Fei's words seemed to pierce Zhang Mei's heart even deeper. He felt a little envious as all the attention was on his sister who looked so innocent and flawless. Zhang Mei's anger and disappointment grew even more pent up as the guests gave praise and flattery to Zhang Fei for his sincerity and innocence.

"The princess does have good taste. These items really suit you" said one of the guests in awe.

The aunt of Zhang Mei's mother's family also gave her praise, "Isn't this beautiful, Princess? Whatever you're wearing must look graceful on your body."

Zhang Fei had no idea what was happening but then the system said something that left him dumbfounded.

One of Jiang's elders, had already swallowed a special loyalty pill from zhang Fei.

Although the aunts who came today were unaware of the existence of such loyalty pills .But maybe the occupants have warned from the house so that they do not offend the Princess somehow.

"Have it done hehehe"

Damaging the mood of the Princess, the risk is as great as you ruining the current mood of the Emperor.

Zhang Fei was at ease hearing it and he began to enjoy how it felt to be flattered and adored by others.

Apparently being praised it feels like this.

Apart from that, Zhang Mei increasingly felt cast aside and forgotten. He wanted to pour out his feelings, but he did not want to cause a commotion in the middle of such a festive banquet. Zhang Fei tried smiling forcefully and tried to enjoy the rest of the event with a graceful demeanor.

Her pretty face was like swallowing a fly.

"all of a sudden I feel it's good that the right minister also swallowed this pill, mama what did you say Hem?"

("do you ever have an opinion?")

"Is.but not exciting anyway if the old minister who does not know himself is given a loyalty pill.Ah just let him"

Sometimes it is better to let things go naturally.Like the right minister who currently feels himself as a father and imposes his will where.Actually it is a little annoying but on the other hand like there is a surprise in the in life.

If everyone was given a loyalty pill, wouldn't life run monontonously, just because zhang Fei wanted to be emperor.

Thanks to the two aunts from Jiang, at the end of the day's feast, smoothly without a hitch.

But soon the atmosphere became tense again when Minister Kanan began to talk about the importance of always siding with his own family.

He firmly stated that as the eldest brother, Zhang Mei should be more guarded and supported. As a younger sister, Minister Kanan asserted that the role of zhang Fei and Zhang Mei was to help her two brothers to have room to move in politics.

Zhang Fei listened to the conversation with a flat facial expression. She was upset by the treatment of the Minister of the Right who had always emphasized the difference in their position as a woman.However, she chose to remain calm and did not answer.

The Minister of the Right looked unconcerned with Zhang Mei's unresponsiveness. He continued to continue his words with a very firm attitude, as a father expecting obedience from his son.

"You must understand your position, Zhang Fei," the Right Minister said in a solemn voice. "As a sister, your job is to support and help the family, especially your elder brother."

"Dad, it's not that dad does not know how my busyness in the palace. I am not free like big brother, although the palace seems magnificent but all need money.But father, is the house short of money now?" ask zhang Fei.

the implication of this question is, is zhang mention now poor?

"Daughter, what your father meant is that you all have to help each other right now your position is said to be more fortunate than the position of the oldest sister so help her as much as possible. If there is something in the palace you can also help the mansion to finance the lessons of two brothers. Right now schools really need funds everywhere" said the elderly grandmother who pretended to mediate.

But zhang fei rolled his eyes and acted as if he did not understand what the grandmother was saying.

"Ohh that means we are so poor that we cannot afford to live in school my 2 brothers? Grandma, dad, are we poor now? If that's so, I might be able to meet the Emperor so that my father's salary is raised"

Hearing the appellation of the Emperor all of a sudden the prime minister right quickly and allowed his second mother not to continue this self-harming talk.

Jiang moyun was stunned to learn that the husband who often had a tongue in the court actually lost to the Princess who had never even seen the world.

But right now they were still welcoming the outside guests so he had to put on his best smile here.

"Ohh why do you still have to talk. Eat first the menu will be cold and it will not taste good anymore" he said.

the two sons of Zhang heard the talk which concerned their school funds. The first son even sneered and thought the matter of money from the palace was slow the sea would belong to him personally.

Now dad says just limited to Mama too the money fell into his hands early.

But he's just as I didn't expect if this from his father was rejected by me.

Inevitably he also stared at the one with a slightly insulting look.But he also knew himself and tried to keep his mouth shut throughout the banquet.

The atmosphere at the dining table becomes relatively cold because of the tension created by differences in views and feelings between them. Everyone felt tense and awkward because of this scene, and there might be some who felt uncomfortable with the situation that occurred.

The Minister of the Right ignored the tension and continued eating with a haughty and indifferent attitude. He felt that what he said was true and should be obeyed by Zhang Mei without hesitation.

Zhang Mei felt frustrated and annoyed, but she chose to endure it. He did not want to make the situation even more complicated and wanted to keep a polite attitude in front of the guests present.

After eating a meal, only then could Zhang Fei talk to his mother's concubine.They talked about many pleasant things.

So did concubine Sun who appeared to know something.

Zhang Fei whispered softly, about the news from zhang muhua.

Concubine Sun almost cried to hear it, she did not know if she could see the granddaughter born to her daughter later.But getting zhang muhua was not lacking anything she was happier.

At the very least, zhang muhua did not need to suffer from being a concubine like him at the moment.

As a guest, zhang Fei could not stay for long, he died some gifts for the third and fifth sisters.

Intentionally the prize is given secretly because it does not want the prize confiscated by grandma or Jiang moyun.

Gifts are received and hunted in store by both.

They didn't expect to get a present today, but this gift made their hearts lean even more towards zhang Fei instead of zhang Mei as the first Princess in this zhang mansion.
