Chapter 738: Putting an End
The smile on Bai Chenghuan's face slowly faded.
According to Mrs. Fang Handong's meaning, she once offended herself, and now that she is making amends, she must forgive her?
What a reason!
What's more, at this time, it is better to forgive Mrs. Fang, but to forgive Fang Handong.
But Fang Handong is really ...... Not worthy of forgiveness.
Mrs. Fang Handong saw that Bai Chenghuan was silent, but she intuitively felt that she was hesitating.
Speaking of the queen's mother, but in the end she is still a young woman who has never reached the age of eighteen, and she was only from a military attache family in Yuzhou in the past-
Mrs. Fang turned around with a thought, and bowed down even more:
"Please also ask the queen to take the courtier's cup of thin wine, and give the courtier's peace of mind!"
"According to what Mrs. Fang said, if this palace doesn't accept this wine, you won't be able to feel at ease?"
Bai Chenghuan showed displeasure between his eyebrows, gathered his sleeves, put the wide sleeves on his knees, straightened his posture, and looked straight ahead with sharp eyes, the queen's majesty suddenly came out, forcing Mrs. Fang to almost breathe.
Bai Chenghuan's cold and sonorous voice fell on Mrs. Fang's heart, making her scalp tingle:
"Can Mrs. Fang have peace of mind, not in this palace, but in your Fang family itself. If you are upright, you are worthy of heaven and earth, how can you not feel at ease? But if you are not upright and bully, even if no one is harsh, how can you rest assured? Mrs. Fang should go back to her place, whether you are at ease or not, you don't have to ask the palace, just ask your heart. ”
The courtiers' side had already quieted down with the female dependents, and they all looked at the female dependents' side in unison.
At this moment, Bai Chenghuan threw down a few words of righteousness and awe-inspiring truth, quite a bit of the queen's majestic demeanor, and cold sweat suddenly welled up on Fang Handong's forehead.
Among the courtiers, the ministers who were not very convinced by Bai Chenghuan, the queen, gradually felt a little touched in their hearts, a queen who can say such things is a reasonable person, and she will not be pampered in the future.
Xu Chenglin was about to get up and go over, but was held down by Wei Guogong:
"Don't be so used to your sister, haven't you moved when you haven't seen your mother? Cheng Huan is the queen, her road has to be walked by herself, this kind of thing will only be more in the future, not less, can you stop it back?"
On the side of the sect, the people who were talking to King Qin also stopped and looked at this side.
King Qin looked at his daughter-in-law with a solemn expression and a loud voice, and his face couldn't help but show the glory of honor.
King Anxi saw King Qin's thoughts, and immediately smiled and whispered:
"The queen is virtuous, and the emperor's vision is excellent!"
He and King Qin, a cousin, had nothing to say, and at this moment he suddenly discovered a good topic.
King Qin was also very appreciative of such an inconspicuous flattery, accepted it all, and said with a smile:
"This king thinks so too. ”
He doesn't feel very happy when he is praised by others, but he still agrees with his son and daughter-in-law.
King Rongping, who was sitting next to King Anxi, smiled, and then lowered his head and drank the wine in his glass.
At a glance that day, he had thought that such a woman who could hold a sword in her hand, if she became a queen, would probably be a decisive queen like the founding queen Duguyun.
Fang Handong had already rushed over, snatched the cup from Mrs. Fang's hand, and wanted to throw it out, but thinking that this was in front of the emperor, throwing it around would cost him his head, so he carefully put it back.
Then he took his wife and knelt down:
"The queen forgives her sins, she is ignorant and ignorant, she collided with her mother, and she asked her to forgive her sins!"
Fang Handong begged one by one, which made people look very pitiful.
Bai Chenghuan couldn't help but get bored.
Is this the end of the lady's aggressiveness, and he will come out and pretend to be pitiful?
Bai Chenghuan reached out and took a glass of wine from the table on the face, deliberately covered it with his sleeve, and shook it in his hand a few times before handing it to Shao Hui beside him:
"Mrs. Fang just toasted a glass of wine to the palace, and Lord Fang felt that it was a collision, was Lord Fang too careful, or did the palace behave too aggressively for Lord Fang to misunderstand?
Fang Handong's voice was completely cut off, and he watched as the palace maid beside Bai Chenghuan walked in front of them with the glass of wine on a tray.
"Mrs. Fang, please. ”
The palace maid in front of her had a soft voice and a decent smile, but Mrs. Fang thought about Bai Chenghuan's actions just now, and her face suddenly turned pale-
Could the queen have put some poison in this wine?
Mrs. Fang originally looked at Bai Chenghuan's face, thinking that she would be furious, but she never expected that she would suddenly give her wine, and she couldn't guess what this meant, was it really to give wine, or was there something else?
She looked at Fang Handong tremblingly.
Fang Handong hesitated for a moment, and was about to excuse himself, but Xiao Shaotang, who had been standing beside Bai Chenghuan, suddenly spoke:
"Mrs. Fang kept saying that she wanted to toast to the queen, and the queen had already said that it was not appropriate to drink, but she was still aggressive, and now that the queen has returned to Mrs. Fang, why didn't Mrs. Fang accept it?"
Fang Handong had already seen the emperor come over and stand beside the queen, but he thought that the emperor would not interfere in this kind of woman's matter...... But he spoke up.
That's it, Fang Handong took the glass of wine from Shao Hui's hand, endured the trembling of his hands and handed it to Madame:
"What the emperor said is that this is a gift from the queen's mother, and Mrs. must accept it!"
Mrs. Fang looked at Fang Handong in disbelief, this is, this is whether it is poisonous or not, she wants to drink it?
Mrs. Fang, who was still thinking about planning for her husband, was instantly discouraged.
She didn't hesitate any longer, took the glass of wine, and drank it with the tears rolling down.
Just finished drinking, and before the tears were wiped away, I heard Bai Chenghuan talking to the emperor beside him again:
"Your Majesty, the concubine just returned Mrs. Fang with a glass of wine, why is Mrs. Fang crying?
Mrs. Fang, who was already waiting for death with a handkerchief, immediately raised her head and looked at Bai Chenghuan with wide eyes, is this wine poisonous or not?
Xiao Shaotang felt that Bai Chenghuan's action of shaking the wine glass was really wonderful, and at this time, he heard her ask softly, and saw the cunning meaning in her bright eyes, so he couldn't help but laugh:
"Mrs. Fang must have been too moved, so she cried, after all, the first glass of wine given by the queen herself was given to her!"
After speaking, he turned his head to Fang Handong and looked at him:
"Master Fang take Mrs. Fang back to the table, the Empress is kind enough to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve with you, if you are reluctant in your hearts, don't cry and cry, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”
Fang Handong's brain finally turned a corner - it seems that there is no poison in the wine, even if there is a intention to poison, the queen will not be stupid enough to poison herself in front of everyone!
He no longer dared to defend anything, and pleaded guilty again and again:
"The emperor forgives the sin, the queen forgives the sin, it is the micro-minister who has lost his temper!"
Bai Chenghuan then smiled:
"Lord Fang and Mrs. Fang have a deep affection, and this palace is really pleased!"
What is the ...... It's a complete irony.
Fang Handong blushed, pulled Mrs. Fang and kowtowed, and hurriedly retreated, feeling a deep complaint in his heart about his wife, who had always been good at dancing with long sleeves and eight faces.
And Mrs. Fang was also disheartened by Fang Handong, and the two of them were also affectionate and affectionate on weekdays, but at this time, it could be seen that they still took care of each other.
On the other side, the courtiers and ladies who had been watching the scene quietly saw that the emperor and the empress had smiles on their faces, so they dared to laugh slightly.
In fact, most people couldn't wait to laugh a few times when they saw Fang Handong and his wife running into a wall in front of the emperor and queen like this, but at this time, where do they dare to be presumptuous.
However, some courtiers vaguely felt that for a villain like Fang Handong, who worships high and steps low, and sees the wind and steers, the new emperor still leaves him in the court to jump, isn't it just to add a little fun to everyone?
It's just that no one dares to say such a secret speculation, only to see the emperor and the queen bow their heads and laugh a few more words, and the emperor returned to his seat, and everyone hurriedly gathered their thoughts and concentrated on talking to the emperor.
And the female dependents who witnessed all this, no one dared to step forward and forcibly toast Bai Chenghuan.
Mrs. Fang is the prime minister's wife anyway, she went up to toast and returned home, and her face was still beaten, and none of them dared to go forward to test it again.
And because today's scene is really impressive, in all the palace banquets in the future, all the female dependents sternly warned the daughters or daughters-in-law they brought, strictly prohibiting them from toasting the queen at will, Bai Chenghuan easily spent countless palace banquets.
The atmosphere in the Lumen Hall gradually became lively again, and the ladies began to laugh again, except for Mrs. Fang, who was sitting in place with a dead face, and a single figure, only Mrs. Zhongyibo's face became more and more ugly.
Just a toast of wine has set off such a big wave, and it has eliminated the possibility of others coming forward to toast, which can only show that Bai Chenghuan is seventy or eighty percent likely to be pregnant, so he will be so taboo about drinking.
Zhang's heart sank suddenly, and then he thought that he had asked Mrs. Fang to come forward to toast, and then the Fang family didn't know how to taboo her.
The chaotic Zhang raised his head to see that the Duchess of Weiguo and Mrs. Qiuguo, who were surrounded by many noble ladies, just happened to collide with the gaze projected by Bai Chenghuan, who was high above.
It was too late for Zhang to stagger his gaze, but Bai Chenghuan smiled at her before turning his gaze away.
Although it was with a smile, Zhang always felt that the smile was meaningful, and his heart was shocked in an instant, what Bai Chenghuan meant, did she mean that she was high up and could see everything clearly?
Indeed, tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, Bai Chenghuan is no longer sitting at the bottom, looking up at others, but high up, and she can see clearly what small movements the courtiers and daughters have below.
Mrs. Fang didn't have the intention of toasting at first, but after Zhang muttered for a while, Mrs. Fang rushed up in a daze.
She never remembered that the relationship between the Zhang family and Mrs. Fang was better.
The strangeness is self-explanatory.
It's just that Zhang's is her mother's sister-in-law in the end, and whoever she has exposed her face can't reveal her mother's face.
Liang Sixian was still sitting quietly with Duchess Liang Guo before, and wanted to talk to Bai Chenghuan at this time, but because she was the queen's honor, she couldn't sit directly next to her like before, and there were so many people who wanted to talk to her, and she probably couldn't say anything in the past.
After sitting alone for a while, Liang Sixian was bored, and when he turned his head, he saw Xu Chenglin looking at her again, his eyebrows were gentle, and he couldn't help but feel shy and happy in his heart.
Although he quickly turned his gaze away, Liang Sixian's heart was still pounding, and he immediately sat upright.
It was Bai Chenghuan who noticed Liang Sixian's strange appearance, and saw Xu Chenglin's eyes that fell on Liang Sixian through the crowd.
It seems that his brother really cares about Sixian, Bai Chenghuan felt comforted in his heart, so he ordered Shaohui to call Sixian:
"Send someone to tell the fourth lady of the Liang Guogong family, I want to go out for a walk and breathe. ”
Shao Hui agreed, called a little palace maid to talk to Liang Sixian, and then followed Bai Chenghuan to leave the table.
Bai Chenghuan only said that he was going to change clothes, and no one dared to ask more, only Xiao Shaotang caught a glimpse, and as her figure disappeared outside the side door of the main hall, she also began to be absent-minded.
The cold outside is the heaviest time of the day, and a person's breath of hot air can almost condense into frost.
Bai Chenghuan wore a thick cloak and stood under the eaves, and after a while, Liang Sixian, who was wearing a big red feather gauze cloak, ran over happily.
"Courtiers, see the queen mother!"
Liang Sixian smiled and saluted Bai Chenghuan.
Bai Chenghuan also smiled and went back:
"You are about to become my sister-in-law, how can I afford your great gift?
"Isn't this afraid of being seen, so he came to pull my pigtails!"
Although Liang Sixian has a hearty temperament, he is by no means a rough person, and the daughter of the Xungui family still has the most basic caution.
Bai Chenghuan took her hand, and the two of them walked along the path behind the Lumen Hall while comforting her:
"Don't worry, I'm here, who dares to pull your pigtails! I just saw you and my brother eyebrows, do you want me to call him out, can you see him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! I don't want to see him!"
Liang Sixian's face turned red in the night, and he immediately denied it, and when he said it, he was afraid that Bai Chenghuan would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said:
"I, it's not that I don't want to see Brother Xu, it's that others say that you can't meet before you get married, otherwise it will be unlucky!"
"Oh, I see. ”
Bai Chenghuan also turned back to Qiu Yue behind him seriously:
"Since that's the case, Qiu Yue, go and tell Qiu Yu that you don't have to send a letter to your brother to let her brother come out, Miss Liang Si won't see him. ”
"Huh?"
Liang Sixian didn't expect that Bai Chenghuan had already made an appointment with Xu Chenglin for her, and when she heard that Bai Chenghuan was going to regret it, she was surprised and annoyed, and grabbed Bai Chenghuan's hand:
"Don't, don't let Qiuyue go!"
"What's wrong?" Bai Chenghuan asked knowingly.
was so angry that Liang Sixian made a gesture to pinch her:
"Okay, you're deliberately making fun of me!"
Bai Chenghuan laughed, pointed to a pavilion in front of him, and lowered his voice:
"Go, brother is waiting for you there, I'll let Qiu Yu follow you, if anyone sees it, say that I ordered you to get something for me and bumped into it." ”
"Cheng Huan, you treat me so well. ”
Liang Sixian was really moved in his heart, stretched out his arms and hugged Bai Chenghuan, and then hurriedly walked to the pavilion.
Looking at her cheerful back, Bai Chenghuan couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
No matter what kind of past life she had, in this life, she and her beloved relatives can be happy, and they are already favored by God.
She turned around and was about to go back, when she suddenly found a dark figure standing in the bushes not far away.
