Chapter 9: The Night Banquet at the Palace 2
"The emperor has arrived! The queen has arrived! Liu Guifei has arrived! Chu Guifei has arrived!"
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live! The queen mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, Liu Guifei is auspicious, and Chu Guifei is auspicious!" everyone knelt down and sang loudly.
"Flat!" The moment the Blue Emperor sat on the highest position, he turned around and waved his hand.
"Thank you, Emperor!" everyone stood up and returned to their places.
"Sons see father, mother, long live father, long live long live, long live mother, thousand years old, thousand years old!"
"Get up. Qinghuang looked at his sons with satisfaction, and then looked at Qingtian Ze and said, "Ze'er, I haven't seen you come out all these years, and I finally gave up today?"
"The son's unfilial piety made his father worried. Qing Tianze sat in a wheelchair and replied to the Qing Emperor.
"It's good to come out, and the father will be relieved when he comes out. Emperor Qing looked at Qing Tianze, with a hint of relief and a hint of guilt, this was originally his smartest son, but he didn't expect to lose his legs.
The queen's eyes sitting on the right side of Emperor Qingdi flashed a touch of fierceness, but she instantly regained her gentleness: "Yes, Ze'er is finally willing to come out, and the queen mother is also relieved, don't lock yourself in the house for a few years and ten years in the future, isn't it just a pair of legs, our Qingchuan country can afford to raise a prince with a missing leg, don't give up on yourself, how sad you are for your father and mother." ”
Qing Tianze glanced up at the queen, his eyes were cold, and he said with a smile: "Is it the son's minister's, it makes the queen mother worried." ”
"Isn't it, the queen mother has been worried about you all these years, Ning Wang really has to remember to thank the queen mother. Liu Guifei, who was sitting on the left side of the Qing Emperor, said to Qing Tianze with a smile, but a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes.
"Thank you for reminding me, this king will remember. Qing Tianze looked at Liu Guifei, but the expression on his face did not change.
"Okay, King Ning is out of the house now, and there will be time to talk to parents in the future. Concubine Chu next to her looked at a few people, and then looked at the emperor and said with a gentle face: "Your Majesty, this person has arrived, and the palace banquet should start, if you wait any longer, all the adults and their families should be hungry." ”
"Well, what Concubine Ai said is reasonable, since everything is here, let's start. The Blue Emperor looked around the next week and said majestically.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Gonggong Liu, who was standing beside the Blue Emperor, immediately responded.
"The palace banquet begins!" As Gonggong Liu's voice fell, the palace maids brought up the wine and food one after another, and the banquet officially began.
The sound of silk and bamboo, the sound of glamour, is when everyone is drunk.
"Meng Aiqing, I sent someone to order the eldest lady of the dream family, Meng Qianzi, to attend the palace banquet, why has the banquet been so long, and I haven't seen anyone?"
"Back to the emperor, Qianzi is here, but she doesn't like a lot of people, so she sits in the back. Prime Minister Meng put down his wine glass and hurriedly replied.
Then he turned his head to Meng Qianzi, who was drinking with a wine glass at the end, and said, "Qianzi, hurry up and come over to see the emperor." ”
Meng Qianzi drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, slowly stood up, walked to the front of the hall and saluted above: "Courtier Meng Qianzi greets the emperor." ”
"Get up. Emperor Qing looked at Meng Qianzi below, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "You are Meng Qianzi?"
"Yes. Meng Qianzi replied expressionlessly.
"You don't seem to be the same as the rumors suggest. Emperor Qing asked Meng Qianzi with a smile, but there was no trace of a smile in the eyes that looked at Meng Qianzi.
"The courtiers don't know, what is the rumored Qianzi in the emperor?" Meng Qianzi asked with a puzzled face.
"Haha...... Meng Aiqing, your daughter is interesting. The Blue Emperor turned to Prime Minister Meng and smiled.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are dull and offended the emperor, and ask the emperor for forgiveness. Prime Minister Meng hurriedly walked to Meng Qianzi and saluted to the Qing Emperor, and hurriedly said to Meng Qianzi: "Qianzi, don't apologize to the emperor quickly and ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”
"Why do you want to apologize?, did Qianzi say the wrong thing?" asked Meng Qianzi with an innocent face.
"Haha...... That's right, you're right. Emperor Qing smiled heartily and said to Meng Qianzi: "The eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really pure." ”
"Thank you for your kindness. Prime Minister Meng turned pale and thanked the emperor.
Emperor Qing waved his hand, and Prime Minister Meng pulled Meng Qianzi and was about to retreat, but saw the prince suddenly stand up.
"Father, the son has something to ask his father to call the shots. The prince stepped forward and stood next to Prime Minister Meng.
"Oh, tell me something, my father. Emperor Qing said curiously.
"The son begged his father to take back the marriage between the son and the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and begged the father to give the son and the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion a dream of a thousand white. ”
Withdraw the marriage contract with the eldest lady and marry the second lady?
When everyone in the palace heard the prince's request, they were all surprised.
Looking at Meng Qianzi's eyes, there was sympathy and pity.
Some young ladies looked frustrated, thinking that they would have hope after leaving the eldest lady, but they didn't expect another second lady to dream of Qianbai.
The queen was expressionless, while Liu Guifei and Chu Guifei had a playful expression.
Aunt Zhao and Meng Qianbai were happy, and Meng Qianbai was even more embarrassed.
"Nonsense! These are all the daughters of the dream family, what's the difference?" said the Qing Emperor angrily after hearing this.
"Father, although the son and the eldest lady of the dream family have a marriage contract, they have never met, and they have no feelings, and the minister and the second lady of the dream family Meng Qianbai are in love, and I implore the father to fulfill it. The prince said with a stubborn face.
"Yes, father, everyone in Qingjing thinks that Meng Qianzi is an idiot, and now she is disfigured, how can such a woman be a princess?"
After listening to the words of the third prince, Emperor Qing was silent for a moment: "But after all, the family is a girl's family, what will you do after you divorce her marriage?"
"Your Majesty, the concubines have a way, but they don't know if it's suitable. The Queen, who had been silent, spoke suddenly.
"Oh, Queen, let's hear it. ”
"It's really good that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion looks like a fairy, but the prince and the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion are in love, we can't beat the mandarin ducks, and we can't let their sisters hurt the harmony. There is only one way for the concubine to think about it. The queen looked at everyone and said, "Isn't there no one in King Ning's Mansion yet, why don't you marry the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion to King Ning, isn't this all happy?"
After listening to the queen's words, everyone had different expressions, but more people couldn't react with a face, how did the plot develop like this?
Only the six princes were still drinking indifferently, looking unfazed.
Meng Qianzi lowered her head, her face was expressionless, but the coldness in her eyes was even worse.
"Well, what the queen said is not bad, but I don't know what King Ning thinks?" After listening to the queen's words, Emperor Qing asked Qing Tianze after a little thought.
"The sons obeyed their father's arrangement. Qing Tianze's handsome face was expressionless, as if he was not talking about his own marriage now. It's just that only he knows, not to mention how happy he is in his heart.
When Meng Qianzi heard this, she looked up at Qing Tianze who was in a wheelchair, her brows furrowed slightly, how could she feel that this person was a little familiar?
"What does Meng Aiqing think?" Emperor Qing looked at Qing Tianze for a long time before turning his head and asking Prime Minister Meng.
"Wechen thanks the two princes for their love for the little girl, Wechen's two daughters can get into the eyes of the two princes, it is their blessing, Wechen dare not have an opinion. "Mengcheng is quite immediate.
Meng Qianzi's heart suddenly gave rise to a cloud of anger, this is the way out of the heart of the owner of this body, and the result is like this, she feels deep sorrow for her.
Meng Qianzi was thinking about it, and suddenly felt a strong gaze staring at her, looked up and looked at her, and looked at a pair of eyes with a smile and a little provocation, Meng Qianzi was stunned, it was these eyes, the eyes of the person who saved her and then sent her a neon dress and feather coat to the past, she Meng Qianzi never forgot it, and she would never mistake someone.
Is it actually him? Meng Qianzi looked at those eyes, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, and things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
Since everyone has put down a war sticker, how can she not accept it? Since she has come here, let's play with them, Meng Qianzi thought so, and swallowed back the rejection that had originally come to her lips.
Qing Tianze looked at it, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little, but it turned expressionless again in an instant.
"Since there are no opinions, then it is decided. Emperor Qing made a final decision: "A month later, it was originally the day when the prince got married, and now that the sisters are married, let's just marry together, and also have a happy celebration." ”
"It's still thoughtful that the emperor thinks about it, double happiness is coming, and the palace will congratulate the prime minister first. The queen said happily.
"Weichen Xie Emperor, Xie Empress Niang!"
Meng Qianzi frowned, she wanted to watch the excitement and play by the way, but she didn't think about really putting herself in.
Looking up at Qing Tianze's expressionless face again, Meng Qianzi thought about it, forget it, even if it is to repay the saving grace that day, she will help him first, and when the time comes, it will not be too late for her to leave.
After making up her mind, Meng Qianzi will no longer be entangled, and she can control how they arrange it.
Meng Qianbai looked at Meng Qianzi, a trace of pride and disdain flashed in her eyes, the position of the crown princess was still hers in the end, and Meng Qianzi went to be the companion of the crippled prince, Meng Qianbai thought viciously, but the smile on her face was elegant.
Aunt Zhao's eyes were also full of pride, Ye Qinghe, did you see it? The final winner is me!
And when everyone was congratulating the Prime Minister's Mansion and the crown prince, the sixth prince Qing Tianyun didn't drink the wine, his slightly lowered eyelids covered the essence and mockery in his eyes, but the corner of his eyes swept towards Meng Qianzi, he was really a little curious about this woman.
Meng Qianzi quietly observed the expressions of those people, just caught the gaze that Qingtianyun swept towards her, and also saw that there was a faint curiosity about her in those eyes, Meng Qianzi frowned slightly, and the expression in her eyes was unclear.
