Chapter 466: The Passage of Time
When Liang and Ning Zhi usually get along, it is inevitable that there is some ambiguity.
But everyone is actually clear in their hearts, even if Ning Zhi looks down on the identity of Liang Shu Nu in her heart, she is the daughter of the Liang family after all, although Ning Zhi is not as jealous of her as Liang is, but she can't be treated as she wants.
Liang's identity background is still an existence that Ning Zhi needs to scruple about, and Ning Zhi also knows about Liang and the third prince Qi Yu, although she also thinks that it is impossible for Qi Yu to marry Liang as a concubine, but through Liang's seemingly unintentional displays during this time, Ning Zhi understands that Qi Yu may not be able to marry Liang as a wife, but in his heart, Liang is not a dispensable existence.
So for this Second Miss Liang, Ning Zhi is not completely unscrupulous.
Seeing that Liang's smile faded at this time, Ning Zhi finally realized that her tone and attitude just now were wrong, so after a pause, she also smiled and spoke.
"What my sister said is, what day is today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and they are going to come to this Merlin no matter what, as long as he comes, the plan can continue according to the original plan. ”
Ning Zhi's gesture of goodwill, Liang naturally understood, and now they are in a cooperative relationship with each other, so it is impossible for Liang to make the relationship between the two too bad, since Ning Zhi has already shown goodwill first, it is impossible for Liang to be tense anymore, and then
I also chatted with Ning Zhi with a smile.
It was harmonious here, but Tang Menglan, who had been observing the two of them from a distance, sighed very regretfully.
"It's a shame that I thought I could quarrel. ”
Liang on the side was speechless when she heard it, she really wanted to have a good talk with Tang Menglan, not to mention Liang's deep thoughts, she had only been in contact with Ning Zhi a few times, Liang felt that she was not the kind of person who could quarrel with Liang on such an occasion.
Even if they are not angry in their hearts, Liang and Ning Zhi are not simple to compete one by one, and they are all people who will take care of the overall situation.
So if you want to see them lose their temper on an occasion like today, it's really too much to think about, it's completely impossible, and after Liang's lips opened and closed several times, he still decided that he didn't know what to do, and he didn't say anything.
With Liang Yong and Tang Menglan in the time, there was no such thing as slowness and boredom, and when I was careless, the luncheon came, and the banquet setter, Queen Yang, who had never seen anyone, finally appeared in Meilin belatedly.
Everyone's compliments came and went, and this made it seem that the Shen family and Princess Ying were really too quiet.
But everyone doesn't care much, the Shen family, the Yu Li family, and the British princess are like this, and Queen Yang is also the same.
The three members of the Shen family have special identities, and it is impossible for Queen Yang to be if they do not exist, and the same is true for the Shen family and the Yu Li family, so everyone still has to be careful about the work on the surface, so after a good reminiscence, the two groups of people are separated like this.
Empress Yang returned to the phoenix seat at the top of her banquet center, while the Shen family and the Yu Li family returned to their original quiet Yiyu, and they were separated from Empress Yang by such a distance.
But this is not the most ** time at the luncheon, after Queen Yang and the Shen family and the Yu Li family were separated, a large group of people came not far away.
This is the crown prince Qi Heng and other princes who were surrounded by palace maids and inner prisons.
"The son-in-law asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother is safe. ”
The crown prince Qi Heng took the lead, and the other princes, including Qi Yu, all followed behind him to salute Empress Yang, Empress Yang's dignified and beautiful face smiled slowly, and raised her hand to let them all get up, "The prince doesn't have to be polite, but why did you come over?"
"After returning to the mother, the sons and the royal brothers made an appointment yesterday to come to the forest garden to hunt today, just finished when they were going to leave, and occasionally heard that the queen mother had arrived in Merlin, so the sons and the royal brothers after some discussion, although they felt that it was a little disturbing, but they still decided to come over to the queen mother to say goodbye, if there is any rudeness, please also ask the queen mother and the ladies to forgive their sins. The gentle voice spit out from the elegant and good-looking lips of Prince Qi Heng.
"Prince, how can this palace still blame you for your thoughts? ”
It's obviously something that has been arranged a long time ago, but he wants to come to such a scene, and he doesn't know who he is going to play for, but no one present dares to show a little disdain, including Liang and Tang Menglan, who are quietly watching everything that is being staged in front of them at this time.
It wasn't until a long time later that Tang Menglan took advantage of the excuse of drinking tea, turned over slightly, lowered his voice and said to Liang: "This play is really good to sing." ”
Liang didn't move his eyelids, and replied in a voice that only his own people around the two of them could hear: "Can't you do it?"
This palace city is the most terrifying purgatory in Xiyin in Liang's eyes, no matter what everyone looks like before they come in, everyone can become unrecognizable after the years, and no one can see anyone's sincerity anymore.
But whoever can stand firm in this besieged city, who has not already learned to bury the truth?
Chu Gu, isn't it the same......
Thinking of the person who sent someone to deliver the peace letter not long ago, the corners of Liang Pink's white mouth turned up slightly, and the streamer under his eyes was brighter, but unfortunately no one could find out, after all, at this time, even Tang Menglan's attention was on Queen Yang and the prince and others in front.
The situation in Jinyang should not be simple, otherwise Chu Gu and Xu Zhao would not have gone for so long and would not have returned, but no matter what she asked in the letter, Chu Gu also reported good news and not bad news, and resolutely refused to say anything related to hardship.
Liang was depressed, but in her memory, there really wasn't anything related to Jinyang, especially at this time, let alone nothing.
Therefore, Liang couldn't judge what was going on in Jinyang now, so that Chu Gu could stay until now.
These are all worries, but Liang doesn't want Chu Gu to take care of her worries when he is so busy, and dedicate his energy to comfort her, this is really a picture that Liang doesn't want to see, so she doesn't ask too much.
Anyway, when he returns, she'll have plenty of time, and don't think she'll let him go. Liang thought hatefully.
But in the end, there was only one sigh left, when will he come back?
Liang was thinking nonsense at this time, and in front of Tang Menglan, who was being watched by Tang Menglan with relish, the drama of Queen Yang and the prince's "mother-son love" had just ended.
Now the crown prince Qi Heng and the princes have already taken their seats in the first row of Empress Yang, because Qi and Zhong Qing have a marriage contract, so he did not come to Lin Yuan today.
The first person under the crown prince naturally became the third prince Qi Yu.
"Qi doesn't come, it's cheaper than others, look at Mrs. Pang's eyes, now they are all going back and forth between Qi Heng and Qi Yu, tsk.........tt" Tang Menglan's voice passed through Liang Piaofei's thoughts and fell into her ears.
Today is an official palace banquet, and Emperor Cheng and Empress Yang have both issued edicts, and all the nobles and ladies in each mansion must participate, so Mrs. Pang will bring Sister Pang Ying to the banquet, which is almost a certain thing, and there is nothing surprising, but Mrs. Pang, who used to generally regard Qi Yu as destroying her daughter's good marriage, looked at Qi Yu's scene many times at this time, which really made Tang Menglan smack.
"Leave them alone, someone is already eyeing you, I advise you not to look around. Liang suddenly turned his head to look at Tang Menglan and said.
"Ah, what?"
Tang Menglan couldn't understand what Liang meant, and when she was stunned for a moment, and then found her mother staring at her faintly, Tang Menglan froze, and then hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and sat up straight with her eyes and nose.
And said in a voice that only Liang could hear: "Why didn't you say earlier that my mother was watching me? ”
Liang thoughtlessly sent a roll of his eyes to Tang Menglan, "Please, you yourself always like to be distracted and watch the excitement, don't pay more attention, I reminded you, but in turn you have to complain." Miss Tang, can you be reasonable?"
"I'm being unreasonable, it's just that I just paid too much attention to the Pang family. ”
The discord between Tang Menglan and Pang Ying, Liang really didn't know what to say, it was just a little misunderstanding in the Spring Rain Building, but it has developed to this day and is the same as in the previous life, and the two of them are really slowly incompatible.
Now, Pang Ying has been promoted to the most unpleasant person in Jian'an after Princess Changping, Tang Menglan is the most unpleasant person in Jian'an, and this kind of honor is really who Pang Ying is, Liang Du sighed for her.
"Okay, why do you care about those who have nothing to do with us, let's hurry up and have lunch. ”
Looking at the turbulent scene in front of him, Liang actually regretted that he had agreed to a certain little tiger in the morning and pleaded with the Shen family on his behalf.
When was the palace banquet simple? She shouldn't have spoken for Yong'er, and asked the Shen family to bring him and Liang Mao together. Liang quietly glanced at the pearlescent banquet center again, and then cast his eyes on Liang and Liang Mao, who had been staying behind Shen.
Today's Liang is silent, a little scary.
But when he thought of the conversations between the two of them before, Liang was also silent, and today Liang seems to be silent.
The luncheon went very smoothly, and except for the daughters of the Liang family, the Yu family, and the Tang family of the Zhendong General's Mansion who had been staying in Yiyu with the Shen family and the Yu Li family, the nobles of the other families had almost already met with the crown prince Qi Heng and the princes.
And this is the main purpose of today, now that it has been completed, Qi Heng and they should naturally retire after success, after all, aren't the reasons used by everyone before "encountering by chance"?
Anyway, since they have already taken pictures, it is also easy to determine who fits the eye and who does not, and there is no need to stay any longer after that, so everyone will not be comfortable.
After all, everyone knows what the purpose of this plum banquet is held, even if everyone knows it, but the girls here are all Yunying unmarried after all.
In such a banquet with an obvious purpose, it is also necessary for Qi Heng and everyone to leave early.
After all, there are only a few people who can become the crown princess or other princely concubines in the future, and there are not even too many people who can become side concubines.
After the crown prince Qi Heng and Qi Yu got up to say goodbye to Queen Yang, the atmosphere in the banquet instantly relaxed a lot, and Liang Ye and Ning Zhi looked at each other quietly, and then looked away again, everything was as if nothing had happened, and Liang didn't notice that there was something wrong with the two of them at this time, and she was now relieved by the departure of Qi Heng and the others, just like everyone else.
Although she has little to do with Qi Heng and their choice of concubines this time, they are here, and Liang is still inevitably uncomfortable.
But Qi Heng and the others have left now, so it will be much better.
Liang and Tang Menglan sat in the back, watching the prince Qi Heng and his party walk farther and farther, until they couldn't see their figures at all, and then the two took their eyes back and looked at each other.
"Which girl did you say our Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a crush on?" Tang Menglan smiled, looking at Liang with a little disapproving joke and asked.
"How would I know. ”
But Liang shook his head directly and said: "I'm not the roundworm in Qi Heng's stomach, with his unsquinting appearance just now, how can I guess if he has a crush on a girl from which family? If you ask me Qi Yu, then I really can't know." ”
"Qi Yu's words, why do you have to ask you, I can know for myself, he just looked at Pang Ying like that, as long as he is not blind here, then who else doesn't know what he thinks? I still need you to tell me. Tang Menglan glared at Liang and said.
Qi Yu's thoughts about Pang Ying are really a bit known to everyone in Jian'an, after all, the "good news" of the talented people in Hefeng Zhai was really a big trouble, and there are still people who will take it out and walk around.
At this time, it is the last bit of sunlight outside the house, and it is the warmest when it falls. The wind, blowing gently, blew the rustle of the leaves of the willows, and gently echoed in the ears, like the clear water of the tinkling dong.
And the peach trees in the middle of summer, now the peach blossoms have long withered, at this time only the dry branches remain, swaying slightly in the orange sun and wind, and it is also in this street full of dry peach trees, a peach tree that is already very old, and life is about to come to an end, the peach tree is full of fog and flowers, as if the peach blossoms are colorful.
