I'm going back through the show and it never occurred to me to question it until now. After repelling Stannis from King's Landing Margaery and Loras talk Joffrey into agreeing to marry Margaery, but why would Joffrey and the Lannisters allow an audience with the Tyrells in the first place?
I understand that Stannis is a mutual enemy of the Lannisters and the Tyrells, but the Tyrells previously declared for Renly and supported his claim to the throne. It seems like Joffrey, Cersei, Tywin, and the others just forgot about the Tyrell's treason.
I understand that there are some advantages to allying themselves with the Tyrells, so I guess I'm just more annoyed that they didn't mention it at all, like nothing ever happened. At least I don't think they mentioned it. It seems more believable that Cersei, Tywin, or Joffrey would have them killed at first sight for supporting Renly and then a Tyrell cousin would take over the Reach, and that would have made things interesting.
