Chapter 29: The Gift

The palace banquets, most of which are similar, wearing masks and different faces, smirking and acting. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Maybe the Queen Mother was older, and she left not long after the banquet began. Originally, this kind of palace banquet was a formality, and Su Qingluan's proposal to send her in person was rejected by the Queen Mother, but when she left, she asked Su Qingluan to stay in the palace for one night tonight.

Halfway through the feast, countless delicious delicacies changed one after another, most of them didn't move a few chopsticks, no one would feast on this occasion, even Su Qingyuan looked like a handsome son.

Su Qingluan's eyes seemed to be watching singing and dancing, but his mind kept turning. I heard that the prince has been staying at Concubine Lin's place every day recently, and Qu Zitian can't hold his breath so quickly? Growing up in the palace since he was a child, he is used to seeing countless intrigues, and he has an unusual understanding of Qu Zitian's methods, which is nothing more than deliberately designing Lin Xuan to fall, and she herself saved Lin Xuan "for the sake of the prince's children, regardless of identity", but I don't know that Lin Xuan may understand.

Is it true that deep love can really change a person's temperament? Then why can she still treat that broken marriage and lover so calmly, is it because her feelings are not deep enough? No, she is just more rational than half of the women. If love is there, you can't get rid of it, and if love is gone, no matter what method you use, you can't keep it, but you will let yourself fall into pain and embarrassment.

Obviously, Qu Zitian didn't understand this truth.

Just as he was out of his mind, Wang An's special voice shouted, "Your Majesty get up early!" The emperor stood up and prepared to leave.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Queen Mother. The ministers hurriedly got up and saluted, and as soon as the emperor left, most of the harem concubines followed, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively, and the ministers left their seats to toast and talk to each other.

Su Qingyuan and Su Qingyu moved to Su Qingluan's side for the first time, and Su Qingyuan muttered that he didn't know what he was talking about.

There are many eyes on the ladies at the table that flew towards Yuan Junyao and Fu Mingkong's brothers, whether it is Yuan Junyao or the Fu brothers, as well as many unmarried royal princes and princes in Dajing, they are the targets of these famous ladies. A few people with shy, timid, and loving eyes were unaware of it like deaf and blind people, and they didn't react at all, which broke the hearts of many.

Many girls were eager to try and were ready to take the initiative, but just when they were hesitating, the fourth princess Su Qingning came to Su Qingluan's seat with a wine glass in her hand, "Sister Huang, Sister Huang hasn't congratulated you yet!"

Su Qingluan glanced at Su Qingning, probably knowing what she was thinking, and asked with a smile, "I don't know if the imperial sister congratulates me on my happy birthday, or congratulates me on the addition of Jing'an, but no matter what, you came empty-handed and didn't bring any gifts or anything, are you sure you really came to congratulate me?"

Although her relationship with Su Qingning is not good or bad, she wants to use her as a raft, which makes her a little unhappy!

Su Qingning didn't expect Su Qingluan to mention this, just because Su Qingluan's seat was just opposite Yuan Junyao and the others, she only thought about how to say a few words to the prince of Western Qin, and she didn't think about giving Su Qingluan a gift at all.

Su Qingluan is the queen of the main palace, and the eldest is the eldest princess by her father, and she was divided into the eldest princess by her father, and she was sealed on her eighteenth birthday today, and even the word 'green' in her name can only be used by princes, but she and the sixth princess Su Qingya' 'Qing' are different, they can only come according to the princesses' examples, and the rewards they receive every year are more than several times their amount. So since they were children, they asked Su Qingluan to take things, and they never sent things to Su Qingluan, so naturally they didn't prepare gifts this time.

Seeing the smile on Su Qingning's face froze there, Su Qingyuan quipped, "Imperial sister, you are wrong, didn't the fourth imperial sister come over with a glass of wine, how can you say that you are empty-handed?"

When Su Qingyuan said this, Su Qingning's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but he still suppressed the fire in his heart and said with a smile, "How can those worthless gadgets in the hands of the imperial sister get into the eyes of the imperial sister?"

Su Qingluan didn't want to entangle Su Qingning more, and said pointedly, "This time, my father has no intention of marrying Northern Qi or Western Qin, and the fourth emperor sister will do it herself." ”

Listening to Su Qingluan's words, Su Qingning's face couldn't help but flush for a while, I don't know whether she was ashamed or annoyed, but she still listened to Su Qingluan's words.

"The royal sister said, the imperial sister doesn't understand, the imperial sister just came to congratulate the imperial sister, so she went back. Su Qingning tried hard to maintain the appearance of nothingness, and turned away in a sneering manner.

Su Qingluan looked at Su Qingning's back, and shook her head gently, at the age when love first opened, it was most easy to be mistaken by 'male color'!

But fortunately, she is a smart person, if she hears this and sticks it regardless of the royal face, it will be a bit too much, after all, as a princess, marriage can never be decided by herself.

Come to think of it, she is lucky, Su Qingluan frowned and smiled, she was unlucky at the same time.

"Tsk, Xiao Si's vision is not very good!" Su Qingyuan said disdainfully, "That Yuan Wang looks okay, but he is a lot older." Although the Fu brothers can barely be regarded as talents, there are many people who are better than them in Dajing, such as this prince! Why are they all looking at them one by one today, is it really a foreign monk who is good at chanting?"

Listening to Su Qingyuan's indignant tone, Su Qingluan couldn't help but be a little funny, Yuan Junyao is only twenty-seven years old this year, which is called a lot of age, the Fu brothers are all handsome and extraordinary, and when it comes to his mouth, it is reluctant, isn't it the best looking man in the world?

Su Qingyu, who was silent on the side, also glanced at him with disdain, but Su Qingyuan turned a blind eye to this choice, and secretly ate something while everyone was not paying attention.

Inadvertently, I saw that the two people next to me didn't move, and there was no expression, and I felt a little puzzled, "Aren't you two hungry?"

Su Qingluan and Su Qingyu glanced at each other and chuckled, "I'm not hungry." ”

Su Qingyuan suddenly understood, and said hatefully, "You two are so unrighteous, you don't call me for stealing food, it's really too much!"

Su Qingyu seemed to be deliberately angry with him, "Who asked you to come so late, you ate too much just now, go out for a walk and eat." ”

Su Qingyuan stared at Su Qingyu through gritted teeth, while secretly solving the food on the table, the expression on his face was too hideous, and he scared the palace maid who came to exchange wine.

At the same time, some of the girls at the women's banquet who did not "worship foreign flattery" saw the hideous expression on Su Qingyuan's face, and couldn't help but discuss, what happened to the third prince tonight, his face was so terrible.

Su Qingyuan, who was half-full, finally stopped, looked around expectantly, and sighed, "This banquet is boring, it's all clichés, and it's not interesting at all." ”

Su Qingluan looked at him, only to see that his face was boring, and then at the prince, who was talking and laughing with Yuan Junyao and others, he couldn't help but sigh, "Look at Yiwen, he is only more than three months older than you, and he looks much more mature and stable than you, isn't it because of marriage?"

As soon as Su Qingyuan heard Su Qingluan mention this stubble, his heart was not good, and when he was about to change the topic, he heard Su Qingluan continue, "I think, you should ask your father to find the third princess for you, every palace banquet doesn't let you see if there is anything you like, now it's almost seventeen, and there is no concubine yet, no wonder you don't look like you haven't grown up all day long." ”

Su Qingyuan waved his hand and said disgustedly, "Sister Huang, you are eighteen, not eighty, how can you be verbose like an old woman, Yihua is not older than you, he is almost nineteen, and he is the only son of the auxiliary general, isn't he married, what am I anxious about?"

Su Qingluan was choked by his anger, what did she call her "like an eighty-year-old old woman who is verbose all day long", "Dead boy, are you looking for death, I will tell the imperial grandmother tonight, you are already interested in someone, it is Miss Li Chengxiang's cousin, let the Queen Mother give you a marriage tomorrow!"

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a while by the character "Miss Li Chengxiang's Family" in Su Qingluan's mouth, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and shouted "No, Sister Huang, I was wrong, I was really wrong, you must not do this, who would want to marry that woman, I'm sorry, I apologize to you!"

Suddenly, there was a heated discussion on the women's table, what happened to the third prince today, are you crazy?

"You make a little noise," Su Qingluan noticed the gazes cast around him, and someone was already inspired by the fourth princess's method and was about to concoct the same method, Su Qingluan had to pretend to be casual and stood up and walked outside the hall, before leaving, he didn't forget to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth, "Don't follow, otherwise... Hmph..."Then ignoring Su Qingyuan's bitter gourd face, he strode out.

With Yiwen here, it shouldn't matter if she is lazy for a while!

But she didn't notice that with her departure, the smile on the corner of a person's mouth at the banquet was not so real.

Aimlessly walking around the Izumo Temple, because the Izumo Hall is specially used for banquets, so a large area of plants and flowers are planted around, and the scenery is good. It was not only her and Su Qingyu who came out to breathe. Inevitably encountered some polite trouble after encountering people, Su Qingluan had to pick up a secluded place with few people to go, remembering that there was a small bamboo forest behind the Izumo Palace.

Sure enough, not long after, a bamboo forest appeared in front of him, the evening breeze caressed, the bamboo leaves rustled, and Su Qingluan stepped into the bamboo forest. He sat down on a big smooth stone in the bamboo forest, and after a while, he said to the air, "Follow me all the way, and you won't come out yet?"

The person behind him no longer deliberately concealed his whereabouts, Yuan Junyao chuckled and stepped out, exclaiming, "The princess has good ears, she can actually detect that she is behind her." Completely out of the shadows, shaking his fingers, "I'm not following the princess, it's just happening to be in the same destination as the princess!"

Su Qingluan secretly scolded himself, "The sound of walking is not restrained at all, and it is difficult to find out if you don't want to!"

"It turns out that King Yuan is already so familiar with my Empress Dajing? I wonder why His Royal Highness King Yuan happened to come to this bamboo forest?" Su Qingluan didn't believe the 'coincidence' in Yuan Junyao's mouth.

"I can't talk about being familiar with the Dajing Palace, but I still know the way around this Izumo Palace. Yuan Junyao could hear the sarcasm in her words, but he didn't care, "I was originally going to come out to look for you, but now that I have found you, I will hand it over to you with my own hands!" After speaking, the hand that had been behind his back took it out, holding a palm-sized wooden box in his palm.

Su Qingluan looked suspiciously at the wooden box he held in the palm of his hand, looked at him again, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Yuan Junyao saw that she looked puzzled, and explained with a chuckle, "I owe you a birthday gift." ”

Su Qingluan heard him mention the birthday gift, and couldn't help but think of the way he looked when he spoke in the Eldest Princess's Mansion today, giving people an ambiguous feeling for no reason.

Before they could figure out how to say no, the two heard someone approaching not far away, Yuan Junyao simply grabbed her hand and forced the wooden box to her, not giving her a chance to refuse at all.
