Chapter 461: Palace Banquet
Tang Menglan looked at Liang Cheng with a mocking smile, but Liang Cheng just chuckled and didn't speak, now there really doesn't seem to be any problem between her and him, but what about the future? There will only be more variables in the future, who knows what else will happen?
Liang Cheng wasn't really optimistic, but she didn't say much when she looked at Tang Menglan, some things couldn't be explained clearly.
And today Tang Menglan came to Liang Cheng, because of the grace of Princess Ying, otherwise they had just returned to Beijing from Yanmeng City, and there were countless things to be settled.
How could there be time for Tang Menglan to be so idle?
Therefore, after chatting with Liang Cheng for a while, the two were reluctant to part at the second gate.
Before leaving, Tang Menglan made an appointment with Liang Cheng again, and when the British Prince's Mansion was settled, he would meet again.
But I don't know if Princess Ying and Tang Menglan came back too quickly this time, so they waited until the day the plum banquet in the palace began, and Liang Cheng and Tang Menglan never had time to meet again.
But because of the plum banquet, it's nothing.
After all, although Liang Cheng and Tang Menglan have nothing to do with the real purpose of this plum banquet, they must attend this banquet, so the two of them can finally get together again through this rare palace banquet.
Today's Xuanyi Gate is very lively, usually cold and solemn, and this sudden noise is really uncomfortable.
However, these had no effect on Liang Cheng, because in her carriage, there were two little people who had already made a fuss and almost deafened her ears.
This is not the first time they have entered the palace for a banquet, God knows how these two little ghosts can still be so excited, since they just came out of the Zhendong General's Mansion, they have not seen Liang Yong and Liang Mao stop.
In the future, Liang Cheng really has to think about whether she can ride in the carriage with these two little troublemakers.
"You two sit down for me, otherwise we will both ride in separate carriages in a while, Yong'er, you go to your mother's carriage. In the end, Liang Cheng, who couldn't bear it, looked at Liang Yong and Liang Mao, and said such a sentence extremely "gently", while the two villains were stunned for a moment, and then quieted down at a very fast speed, and the two of them also sat on Liang Cheng's left and right with great eyesight, and they were not like talking.
Finally able to calm down for a while, Liang Cheng sighed loudly in her heart, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and then moved her eyes to the outside of the carriage, looking at the traffic there.
Although today's plum banquet is still held by Empress Yang, this is completely different from the banquet held in the Shuyi Hall in the past.
Because this is a very formal palace banquet, and it is a banquet in Shanglin Garden.
Such a large-scale posture is really not something that can be achieved by ordinary banquets, but this time it is obvious that Emperor Cheng also attaches great importance to it, so when Empress Yang proposed that this plum banquet should be held in the plum forest of Shanglin Garden, Emperor Cheng only thought about it for a while and agreed.
Shanglin Yuan is a forbidden courtyard, and it is also the place where the emperor usually hunts, but there are no aggressive beasts in it, most of them are deer and foxes, and many beautiful scenery, and the Merlin that is going to hold a banquet today is also one of these beautiful scenery.
After passing through the heavily guarded Xuanyi Gate, the carriages stopped in front of Shiyuebi. As soon as the carriage stopped, Liang Yong and Liang Mao couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage one after the other, and then personally helped Liang Cheng down.
In this plum banquet, the protagonists are all girls from various provinces, and it stands to reason that Liang Yong and Liang Mao can't come.
But they were still young and had different identities, so the Shen family also brought the two of them with a wave of his hand, and at this time, they all obediently followed the Shen family who had already boarded the carriage.
is even more than the well-behaved appearance when he was instructed by Liang Cheng "gently" on the carriage just now, and Liang Cheng couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" And just when Liang Cheng looked at the two villains who were standing beside Shen, standing straight and not daring to move, Liang Cheng, who had already walked to Liang Ming's side, suddenly smiled at her and asked.
"What else can you laugh at, naturally it's just to laugh at those two troublemakers. ”
Liang Cheng and Liang Wu followed behind Shen side by side, and by the way, they told Liang Yong and Liang Mao about the non-stop trouble in the carriage just now, and they all cried and laughed to Liang Yong.
"With Brother Yong'er, Mao'er can make trouble, which is troublesome for the third sister, but I have a carriage with the second sister, and Mao'er doesn't like her a little, so I can only make trouble for the third sister. Liang said to Liang Cheng with some guilt.
I don't know when Liang Mao didn't like anyone who got close to Liang Xian, so he naturally didn't like Liang Ji a little.
In addition to sighing, Liang Mao couldn't bear Liang Mao's reluctance, so she went to ask Liang Cheng again this morning and asked her to take Brother Mao for a ride.
This is not a big deal at all, and Liang Yong is also looking forward to her agreeing on the sidelines, so how could Liang Cheng refuse? Therefore, on the way to the palace for the banquet, Liang Cheng took Liang Yong and Liang Mao in the same carriage.
"Eldest sister, you are serious, it's just a gesture, how can there be any trouble, although these two little ghosts on the road are a little noisy, but where can you stand Yong'er and Brother Mao is to stick together, we will follow them." ”
As soon as Liang Yong and Liang Mao were mentioned, Liang Cheng and Liang Mao would cry and laugh, and the two of them walked together, and Liang Yong and Liang Mao followed Shen at this time.
Invisibly, Liang Ji walked at the end of everyone like this.
"Miss........."
Liang Ji's face was smiling at this time, but when this smile fell into the eyes of Yin An on the side, it made her uneasy, and the words she said were also trembling.
And Liang Ji didn't react to this and turned his head to look at Yin'an, that is, this glance, so frightened that Yin'an suddenly fell silent, didn't dare to say a word, and quietly followed Liang Jiao's side, with the Shen family and Liang Cheng and his party, under the leadership of the palace people, all the way to Shanglin Yuan, because of the banquet, it has long been paved on this section of the road more and more flowery, dazzling.
Because this plum banquet was a formal palace banquet, when Shen and Liang Cheng and their party arrived at Shanglin Garden, it was already overcrowded.
Just glanced at it, and his eyes were full of beads and greenery, gorgeous clothes and temples.
The guests had already come, and the most eye-catching of them were naturally the Princess of England and Yu Li, who were surrounded by everyone in the center, and the Shen family saw them at first sight as soon as they came in.
"Mingyue, you're really late. As soon as she saw Shen's figure, Yu Li had already left everyone and walked to her side, and said with a smile.
"There's a little trickster on my side, and you don't know it. With him, how could I go fast. ”
As he spoke, Shen turned his head and smiled at Liang Yong, who was already standing obediently beside Liang Yuan, remembering the difficult scene when he was asked to change his clothes in the morning, Shen couldn't help but cry and laugh a little again.
Yu Li and Shen have been together for a long time, how can she not understand Liang Yong's eccentricities? Therefore, as soon as Shen said this, Yu Li would also smile heartily, and then after Liang Cheng and Yu Ling behind the two of them had finished saluting each other, the group also walked to a place with few people alone.
Just now, when the Shen family had not yet come, Yu Li was still greeting everyone. But now that the Shen family is here, it is naturally better for people who are familiar with each other to get together.
Therefore, after choosing a good place, it is naturally invisibly isolated, forming a separate small world.
During this period, except for the fact that Princess Ying and her party were invited in by the Shen family after a while, everyone else could only pay attention quietly on the sidelines, but this naturally did not have much impact on the Shen family and the Li family.
What's more, the Shen family and Princess Ying haven't seen each other for a long time, and the last time Tang Menglan went to the Zhendong General's Mansion, he only helped spread the word, so at this time, the old people reunited, and there were naturally countless things to say.
The three adults got together to chat, and Yu Li and Princess Ying also met their eyes, so it was a lot more lively for a while.
It's just that in this way, Liang Cheng and Liang Yong will be bored.
Seeing this, the Shen family didn't say anything, just smiled and let Liang Cheng and Liang Yong and the children go to Meilin to play by themselves.
And because everyone knew what the real purpose of this plum banquet was, Mrs. Zhong thought about it, but in the end she didn't bring Zhong Qing to the banquet, and Queen Yang also agreed, so after she withdrew from the Shen family, Liang Cheng didn't look for Zhong Qing's traces anymore.
Besides, Tang Menglan also grabbed Liang Cheng all the way into the flower forest after the princess nodded, so what chance did she have to find other people's traces.
"Miss Tang, can you slow down, you may think it's nothing, but Yong'er and I are ........." Liang Cheng just wanted to say that she and Yong'er couldn't stand such a fast speed, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Liang Yong, who was alive and well, and immediately changed it to when she said it, "But I can't stand it." ”
"You bear with me first, or if we don't go faster now, we will be caught up in a while, is it possible that you are interested in being surrounded by a group of people as monkeys? ”
Tang Menglan's health is really good, she has been walking so fast and for so long, and she still doesn't breathe at all when she speaks, which makes Liang Cheng, who has already been breathing unsteadily, really envious! But before that, she first looked back in her busy schedule, and when she saw that there was indeed a faint figure chasing them in the distance, Liang Cheng immediately shut up, and just tried to catch up with Tang Menglan's steps.
Among Liang Cheng and Tang Menglan, there is no doubt that Tang Menglan and Liang Yong have the best physical fitness.
When they were already approaching the depths of Merlin, the two of them actually began to pant slightly, but on the other hand, Liang Cheng suddenly pounced directly on Tang Menglan in front of her, and hung on her unceremoniously, and even her voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
"I really can't do it, you hurry up and see if there is anyone behind, if there is none, let's stop and rest for a while. But if there is, then you can only find someone to carry me away, anyway, I can't. ”
Liang Cheng hung on Tang Menglan's body, although Liang Cheng's weight was completely unable to defeat Tang Menglan, but Liang Cheng's movements still scared her.
"Liang Cheng, can you not be so scary? I almost threw you out just now, do you know? Stretching out his hand and hurriedly supporting the person who had already slipped out, Tang Menglan said angrily.
But having said that, then Tang Menglan also hurriedly sent someone to check on the back.
When it was confirmed that there was indeed no one chasing them anymore, Tang Menglan angrily helped Liang Cheng to the side, which had already been cleaned up, and sat down on the carpet with dark purple embroidery trim.
"Your body is really too weak, doesn't it mean that you have been recuperating this year and have improved a lot, but why are you still like this?"
Looking at Liang Cheng's porcelain-white skin, which had turned almost transparent, Tang Menglan frowned and asked Liang Cheng with some puzzlement.
But Liang Cheng is almost out of breath now, how can she still have the strength to reply, after giving Tang Menglan a big white eye, Liang Cheng couldn't help but slander, not so much that her more than a year of recuperation has no effect, it is better to say that your body is too good.
Even among ordinary people, who can be like you two? How can she be blamed for this?
Liang Cheng was quiet for a long time during the time when she was adjusting her breathing while slandering, and Tang Menglan and Liang Yong had been sitting beside her.
Although they are not as laborious as her, after walking for so long, it is inevitable that their breathing is still a little wheezing, so everyone is resting now.
"By the way, who is the girl who has been pestering you just now?Why do I look a little familiar?" And just when Liang Cheng had just stabilized her breathing, she heard Tang Menglan next to her ask her with some doubts.
"You will naturally be familiar with her, she is Ning Zhi, the daughter of the Ning family. Looking at Tang Menglan's doubts, Liang Cheng just said with a smile, she is more unreliable than herself in this regard.
Tang Menglan has been staying in Yanmeng City with the King and Princess Ying for many years, so he knows very little about the various nobles in Jian'an, which is for sure, but compared to Liang Cheng, who was still nested in the Zhendong General's Mansion last year.
Tang Menglan can only know more people than her, and it is impossible to be less than her.
But looking at Tang Menglan's expression of trying to match the Ning family's concubine and Ning Zhi now, Liang Cheng felt really helpless, in the heart of this eldest lady, even if she has seen someone, as long as it has nothing to do with her, I am afraid that she will forget it in a blink of an eye.
"Okay, forget it if you can't think of it, anyway, with your temperament, I estimate that even if the princess and Aunt Yu get along, you won't have much to do with Miss Ning. ”
