Chapter 8: The Night Banquet at the Palace 1

"Xiangye, the palace has arrived. At the gate of the palace, Prime Minister Meng, who was sitting in a carriage at the front, was the first to get out of the carriage.

Then came Meng Qianbai and Aunt Zhao's carriage.

The last car is Meng Qianzi.

"Miss, the palace has arrived. After the carriage stopped, the voice of the coachman was heard outside the carriage.

"You wait for me in the car. Meng Qianzi opened her eyes that had been closed, and gave a command to Qing'er, ready to lift the curtain.

"Miss. Qing'er grabbed Meng Qianzi and looked worried: "Let the slave follow Miss." ”

"No, just wait for me in the car. After Meng Qianzi finished speaking, she ignored Qing'er, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

There was a sudden gasping sound around him, and Meng Qianzi walked forward without seeing it.

"Who is this, what a savage. ”

"yes, did you see that? She just jumped out of the carriage like that. ”

"Yes, I saw it, it's really barbaric, this is the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

"This can't be the dream Qianzi of the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

"Isn't it stupid? Why do you still come to the palace banquet?"

"Yes, look at the way she got off the carriage just now, jumping straight out of the carriage, it's really stupid. ”

"Ah...... Look at her forehead, it's so terrifying, it seems that the rumors that she is disfigured are true. ”

"Haven't you heard? The emperor specially ordered her to attend today's palace banquet. ”

"Ah...... Really?"

"Yes, you see, she was stupid, and now she is disfigured, how could the prince marry such a woman?"

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the lively crowd.

Meng Qianzi, who had already walked to the side of Prime Minister Meng, listened to the chatter and discussion of the ladies and ladies who had not yet entered the palace gate, and her lowered eyelashes hid the mockery in her eyes, but her face was expressionless.

It's another group of women dreaming of a crown princess.

"Your Excellency. "Gonggong Liu, the first celebrity around the Qinghuang, just came out of the palace gate in a hurry and saw the dream prime minister outside the door, and immediately greeted: "The emperor ordered the prime minister to go to the imperial study." ”

"Thank you Gonggong Liu, I'm going to go. Meng Cheng said politely to Gonggong Liu.

looked at the three Aunt Zhao beside him, and said to the little eunuch who was waiting at the palace gate to lead them to the banquet: "My father-in-law is tired of leading them to the palace banquet." Then he followed Gonggong Liu and left.

"Xiangye is polite, and the slave will go. After the little eunuch saluted Prime Minister Meng, he turned to Meng Qianzi and Aunt Zhao: "Madam, Miss, please come here." ”

"Qianbai, let's go. Aunt Zhao pulled Meng Qianbai with a hint of arrogance on her face.

Meng Qianzi walked at the end expressionlessly.

After turning through countless pavilions and pavilions, I arrived in front of a palace in the middle of the night.

"Madam, Miss, this is the Wende Hall of the palace banquet. The little eunuch stood still outside the hall, turned around and bowed to a few people: "The minions can only be sent here, the ladies and ladies can go in by themselves, and the minions will retire first." The little eunuch took a few steps back after speaking.

Aunt Zhao glanced at the little eunuch with disdain, glanced at Meng Qianzi, turned her head to Meng Qianbai and said, "Let's go in." ”

"Yes, mother. Meng Qianbai also glanced at Meng Qianzi as she spoke, and then took Aunt Zhao's hand and walked towards the hall.

Meng Qianzi looked at the background of the two, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she walked in expressionlessly.

There were already many people in the hall, chatting in twos and threes.

The positions of the palace banquet are arranged according to the size of the official position, the highest position in front is the emperor's, next to the queen and the concubine, down to the left and right are a few sons, after the prince is the prime minister, the prince and other officials come from the size in turn.

As soon as Aunt Zhao and Meng Qianbai entered the palace, a palace maid immediately greeted them and brought them to the prime minister's position to sit down.

Meng Qianzi came in a few steps late, the palace maid didn't know Meng Qianzi, seeing her come in alone, dressed very ordinary, she thought about it and didn't pay attention to it even if it was an adult's maidservant.

And Aunt Zhao, who was already sitting down at this time, looked at Meng Qianzi standing there and ignored it even more, and even a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

Meng Qianbai, who was sitting next to her, had a mocking smile on his face.

Meng Qianzi's eyes turned slightly, and she quickly swept around the hall, and clearly saw the viciousness in Aunt Zhao's eyes and the ridicule on Meng Qianbai's face, she smiled coldly in her heart, but there was no expression on her face, she turned around and walked to the end of the banquet and found a place to sit down.

"Who is that? so beautiful, but unfortunately his forehead seems to be disfigured. A lady in the crowd looked at Meng Qianzi pitifully, looking at the extremely beautiful face, but there was a brownish-black wound on her forehead.

"yes, I don't know whose young lady it is. Another lady followed.

"Alas, that won't be the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?" a lady exclaimed: "I heard that the emperor has specially ordered the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion to attend today's palace banquet. ”

"I've heard about it, but didn't you say that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is stupid?"

"yes, isn't she stupid, you see that she doesn't sit at the prime minister's table, but sits at the back of here. The shrill voice made the other ladies frown.

"It's a shame to have a face......" exclaimed voice. With such a face, if you have a normal head, are you afraid that you won't be able to get a rich family?

Meng Qianzi sat there leisurely, listening to those discussions with a leisurely face, her slightly drooping eyelashes covering the coldness in her eyes.

"The Sixth Prince has arrived!" the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the hall.

"See the Six Princes. Everyone in the hall quickly saluted the three princes who entered the hall from both sides of the aisle.

Meng Qianzi also saluted with the crowd. But his mind is running rapidly, the sixth prince Qingtianyun, the only chic and uninhibited prince in the Qingchuan royal family. I don't like power politics, I only like the wind and snow, and I paint poems and paintings with a group of young masters all day long, singing, drinking, poetry and flowers, being bold and free, and intersecting all over the world.

This person is born in the royal family, but he is really an outlier, Meng Qianzi thought to herself.

"Get up. Qingtian Yunxiao waved his sleeves and walked towards the palace.

"Xie Sixth Prince. And they sang in unison, and then they straightened up.

Meng Qianzi straightened up and returned to the place where she was sitting just now, and was about to sit down, when a voice came from outside the hall: "The prince has arrived!

Meng Qianzi frowned slightly, and reluctantly followed behind everyone to salute, this ancient was really troublesome......

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, see the Three Princes. ”

Meng Qianzi looked up at the two of them slightly, a golden robe embroidered with a five-clawed dragon pattern, imposing, a handsome and elegant face, obviously two opposing temperaments, but in him, he was controlled by strangeness. No wonder that Meng Qianbai and the young ladies all want to marry him, he has status, talent and temperament, such a person is indeed attractive enough. I just don't know how much is true and how much is false?

The third prince next to Qing Tianlei, Qing Tianche, was dressed in a blue robe and was extravagant, and his momentum was not much inferior to that of the prince, and his face was seven points like the prince.

"Flat. The crown prince Qing Tianlei raised his hand slightly to everyone and walked towards the front of the hall with the three princes.

And when they passed, the ladies raised their heads and quietly looked at the prince who was walking in the front, their little faces were red with shame, and they secretly hoped that the prince would look at them.

Meng Qianbai looked at the actions that those young ladies thought were secret, gritted her teeth angrily, and her face flushed.

Aunt Zhao looked at her daughter's expression and hurriedly pulled her sleeve to remind.

Meng Qianbai was startled, instantly came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Aunt Zhao, and immediately piled up a gentle smile on her face and said happily to the prince who came over: "Brother Prince." ”

"Chibaku. The prince looked at Meng Qianbai, and a smile appeared on his elegant face.

Meng Qianbai blushed instantly, and the young ladies who liked the prince or the princess at the scene, the eyes that were originally secretly sending Qiu Bo to the prince turned into hateful eyes towards Meng Qianbai.

Meng Qianzi looked at it from behind and wanted to laugh, these ancient girls were so cute.

There was no result in the battle here, but there were people outside the hall again.

"King Ning is here!" the eunuch's shrill voice sounded again.

The originally noisy sound in the hall instantly stopped, as if the radio had been cut off.

But it was only for a moment, and a new round of noise broke out in the hall immediately, even louder and more chaotic than before.

"King Ning?"

"The fourth prince hasn't been out of the palace for ten years, why did he suddenly come to the palace for a banquet today?"

While they were talking, Ning Wang Qingtianze had already appeared in the hall in a wheelchair.

Only then did everyone react, and they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "See King Ning." ”

"Get up. Qing Tianze sat in a wheelchair, his eyes turned slightly, and he quickly looked around, and finally found the person behind the crowd, his deep eyes lit up instantly, and immediately calmed down again.

"Push me through. Qing Tianze commanded the tall thin man pushing the wheelchair behind him with an expressionless face.

"Yes, master. The man pushing the wheelchair had a cold face and a cold and frightening voice.

"It's really King Ning, King Ning was born so handsome. As Qing Tianze's wheelchair was pushed over, everyone who saw Qing Tianze was amazed by his handsome appearance.

Since King Ning destroyed his legs ten years ago, he hasn't left the mansion in ten years, let alone anyone has seen him.

While everyone was discussing, Meng Cheng wanted to walk in from outside the hall, looked around the hall as he walked, and when he saw Meng Qianzi sitting at the end of the banquet, he swept by without any expression and walked towards his seat at the front.

Meng Qianzi's lowered face was also expressionless.

"Your Excellency. As Prime Minister Meng Cheng walked by, some officials who wanted to be good friends with Meng Cheng greeted him one after another.

Prime Minister Meng also greeted them one by one.

"Sir. Aunt Zhao got up to greet the approaching Prime Minister Meng, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Daddy. Meng Qianbai also shouted happily, and then, a pair of eyes swept proudly over Meng Qianzi's location.

"Hmm. Prime Minister Meng nodded, and then saluted the princes above him.

"The ministers participated in the crown prince, the three princes, the king of Ning, and the six princes. ”

"Your Excellency, please get up. The prince spoke quickly.

"Prince Xie. Prime Minister Meng got up and looked at King Ning who was sitting in a wheelchair intentionally or unintentionally.
