Chapter 40: Who's to Worry About It
A moment later, when Zhang Wan raised her head and was about to ask about Liu Ji's details again, she couldn't help frowning slightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It turned out that at this moment, a slight sound of footsteps could already be heard in the distance. Seeing this, Zhang Wan had to sigh, seemingly unintentionally kicking a few dead leaves on the side with her toes.
After a few breaths, the old and hoarse voice of the prince came.
"Grandpa Hong, why are you people?" Seeing that only Zhang Wan was present here, after greeting Liu Hong, Grandpa Wang couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Oh, just let them go around and watch just in case. As he spoke, Liu Hong immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Wan, "In a flower garden under the high platform over there, there are a few newly planted ink chrysanthemums, which are requested by the concubine Niangniang, you go and watch." ”
When Zhang Wan heard this, she smiled in her heart, but on the surface, she nodded and saluted before slowly walking to the side.
Now it seems that this Liu Hong is really smart.
Hidden under the high platform on the side of the field, not only can you see the scene of the Hundred Flowers Banquet up close, but it will not be discovered by other people. This is indeed an excellent place for Zhang Wan at this time.
In just a moment's effort, Zhang Wan had already bypassed the brightly lit banquet place from the shade of the tree on one side to the high platform on the side of the banquet.
In the shadow of the high platform, and where no one noticed, Zhang Wan leaned under a flower tree, tilting her head slightly and looking at the brightly lit place in front of her.
After a while, as the whip of the royal opening broke through the air, everyone in the field immediately fell silent and knelt on the ground to salute.
When he was young, Emperor Zhu Jianshen and the imperial concubine Wan Shi supported the Empress Dowager Zhou from left to right, and led a group of concubines behind him to the imperial garden.
After everyone saluted and greeted her, they saw that the emperor in a dragon robe and Wan Guifei in a phoenix robe sitting next to the Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then secretly guessed.
On such an occasion, the queen and queen, who are the mother of a country, did not attend! The meaning of this has to make everyone speculate.
It seems that now this Wan Guifei is more and more pressing the queen to the point that she can't raise her head.
Thinking of this, all the women inside and outside couldn't help but move in their hearts, and they all bowed their heads and glanced at each other.
At this time, Wan Guifei saw that everyone had already sat down, so she got up and opened her mouth with a smile in the posture of a hostess.
"All the lords and ladies, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have all said that today is not a state banquet, everyone just cares about the monarch and the ministers, so there is no need to be formal. ”
Having said that, everyone can only smile on the surface, but in fact, no one dares to be uninhibited. You know, after all, this is in front of the Son of Heaven, where can you be informal?
With the arrival of the Son of Heaven, the sound of silk and bamboo in the field immediately started, but in a moment, it was already a scene of singing and dancing.
Zhang Wan, who was hidden in the shadows, looked at the lively scene of the monarchs and ministers having fun together, but her mind involuntarily turned to the direction of Kunning Palace.
On such an occasion today, the queen mother did not show up, why is this?
Could it really be that she was intimidated by Concubine Wan's arrogance? Zhang Wan didn't think so. Based on what she saw in the imperial garden that day, this queen did not seem to be as simple as it seemed?
At this time, in the Kunning Palace, the queen who was absent from the Hundred Flowers Banquet due to illness was sitting upright on the side, looking at something in her hands.
After the palace maids on the side, Bingxia and Bingqiu, glanced at each other, but they both sighed. Their queen mother, is just too forbearing.
"Niangniang," Bingxia saw that it was not early, and couldn't help but persuade him, "Since you are unwell, it is better to rest early." ”
Niangniang didn't want to go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so as not to be ridiculed by Concubine Wan in front of everyone, and they also understood. It's just that the more the mother retreats, the more rampant the concubine will become.
How could the queen not know about the maid's worries? It's just that the reason why she avoided this Hundred Flowers Banquet today was for another reason.
This is the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Queen Wang put down the history book in her hand and couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
More than ten years ago, it was because of this Hundred Flowers Banquet that she would wear a phoenix robe, but it was precisely because of this that Wan Guifei would have been haunted by this Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Today, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is reopened in this palace, and if he goes, he will inevitably be squeezed by the ten thousand concubines. Originally, it was nothing. After all, I've been used to it for more than ten years, haven't I?
But today, she chose not to go to the sick, not to avoid Wan's edge, but to ......
Thinking of the news that came a few days ago when her mother entered the palace, Queen Wang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.
Come to think of it, after today, Cheng Qiankun should be able to remember himself.
I just don't know, at today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, has this good show already begun?
Thinking of this, Queen Wang couldn't help but raise her head and look in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Seeing that the banquet was already halfway over, Concubine Ji Shu, who was sitting behind the Empress Dowager Zhou, couldn't help but feel anxious.
Wan's poisonous woman, suddenly held this hundred flowers banquet, she must have no good intentions. But now, halfway through the banquet, why did the poisonous woman still not make the slightest move?
Could it be that she is really too careful? No! Concubine Ji Shufei shook her head secretly. She knew that today's Hundred Flowers Banquet must have come for his mother and son.
Concubine Ji Shufei's uneasiness, Zhang Wan, who was standing in the dark, was also in her eyes.
It's just that she didn't care, but instead looked at Wan Guifei in front of her.
In Zhang Wan's opinion, tonight's Wan Guifei is probably the protagonist of this play.
Sure enough, after the song and dance below ended, Wan Guifei turned around and quickly smiled provocatively at Concubine Ji Shu, who was leaning behind.
Concubine Ji Shu was shocked, but saw that Concubine Wan had already turned around and opened her mouth at the emperor with a smile.
"Your Majesty, speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not small, there are some things here, those of us who are elders should also worry about him. ”
Although Wan Guifei didn't say it explicitly, the people around her had already understood. What is there to worry about this prince Zhu Youzhu as an elder, then it is naturally a marriage matter.
Seeing that Concubine Wan Guifei had put her mind on her son's lifelong event, Concubine Ji Shufei couldn't help but secretly shake her hands into a fist, anxious.
If the person next to the son's pillow in the future is the person of the poisonous woman of the Wan family, then the son is not extremely dangerous?
No, I must not let Wan's poisonous plan succeed. But although she is in the position of a concubine and the biological mother of the prince, in front of His Majesty, she is still invincible to the Wan family.
Besides, Wan Shi just mentioned it casually, if he immediately spoke out against it, I am afraid that it will leave an impression in the eyes of His Majesty that he does not know what to do.
When Concubine Ji Shu was secretly anxious, she heard Wan Guifei in front of her smile again, "Queen Mother, you see that there are so many daughters of the family today, why don't you give our Royal Highness the Crown Prince a good look?"
When Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she was a little moved. Although she was suspicious of Concubine Wan's actions, she still couldn't help but look up.
Anyway, the grandson is already fifteen years old, and the selection of the crown princess is indeed imminent.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou was really moved, Concubine Wan couldn't help but smile secretly, and between her eyebrows and eyes, she became even more proud.
