The rest of the people were even easier to say, Qi Nian and Hua Yujing sat on the side of a desk, and the two of them were quiet and timid, neither of them were people who talked much, so they just sat quietly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The rest of the people attending the banquet seemed to be the emperor's relatives, and the seat was completely located at the lower right head of the throne with a lifelike golden lacquer carved dragon, and was lined up in a line according to the order of rank.

The lower left is the seat of the important ministers of the court, Hua Zhang naturally ranks first, no one dares to put his beak, and the others should also be lined out with their families in the order of the size of the official position.

Although those officials who were too low-ranking were allowed to enter the palace for banquets, they could only line up far away on the periphery of the Qingliang Palace, and their ladies had no chance to enter the palace, so they could only hold a banquet in the Accord in the side hall just like the two aunts brought by Huazhang.

The closer it got to the majestic and noble dragon chair in the hall, the closer it was to the center of the supreme power of the entire Weiyang Kingdom.

Qi Nian lowered her eyes slightly, ignoring all the many eyes that seemed to be intentional or unintentional, and her thick and slender eyelashes trembled slightly like two beautiful butterflies with soft wings, as if they were scratching her heart, numb and slightly itchy.

Hua Zhang's eyes flicked and he looked at his daughters quietly, Hua Yujing was calm but at a loss, Hua Yurong was full of coquettish smiles and deliberately flamboyant, but Hua Yuxiao was calm and demure, neither grandiose nor very dignified and generous, and her gestures all had a noble posture and naturalness.

He couldn't help but sink into deep thought, trying to make a new distinction between their values.

Yes, as far as he is concerned, these daughters born to him are only worth two words in his eyes, and there is no other superfluous family affection to speak of.

is really worthy of being the most prominent minister of Weiyang country, and his cold heart is so cold.

Just when he bowed his head and was silent, a helpless little eunuch suddenly approached him, hunched over and whispered: "Prime Minister Hua, the lady in your house is looking for you everywhere......"

Hua Zhang suddenly felt that his eyebrows suddenly jumped, and he suddenly turned his face to look at the little eunuch, and the look on his face was really not very good-looking. He subconsciously asked, "Who is my father-in-law talking about?"

"Who else can it be, Mrs. Shu claims to be the mother-in-law of Princess Miaojia, and her status is noble, how can she sit in the side hall and be with these low-grade ladies......"

Huazhang has always been very respectful when entering and leaving the palace, and the little eunuchs and little palace ladies who treat these people are very courteous. Yes, the little eunuch dared to complain twice, and continued: "Madame Shu was dissatisfied with the servants acting according to the rules, so she made a lot of noise in the side hall, and also insulted the other ladies loudly, which made them look at them angrily, and almost didn't quarrel...... The slave has been on an errand for more than ten years, and he has never seen such a scene in the palace, but fortunately, the emperor has not yet arrived, and the masters who should have the status have not yet come, so the prime minister of the country quickly got an idea for the slaves, if they are allowed to continue to quarrel like this, I am afraid that this banquet will not be able to be held today......"

It's not just that the banquet can't be held, if Long Yan is furious when he hears this, I'm afraid that none of these people present will have good fruit to eat.

It seems that this little eunuch is a little clever, and knows that this matter cannot be stalemate, so he trotted all the way to inform him.

Hua Zhang just wanted to throw the fourth aunt into the backyard and lock her up so that she would never see the light of day again.

The green tendons on his forehead couldn't help jumping happily again, and after barely suppressing his anger, he said coldly with a gloomy face: "It's true that I didn't govern my family strictly and neglected discipline." In this way, I will bother my father-in-law to bring her to see me, and by the way, I will ask my father-in-law to make amends to those ladies on my behalf. ”

The little eunuch hurriedly answered, and then bent down and ran back.

After a short time, he brought back the high-spirited fourth aunt, and retreated very consciously.

Hua Zhang looked at her coldly, and didn't seem to even want to say a word to her, so he just said, "You go and sit with the fourth lady." He turned his face to look at Qi Nian again, and said in a voice that was neither high nor low: "Xiao'er, you come to my father's place." ”

This really shocked everyone, Mrs. Hua's face was cloudy, Hua Yurong gritted her teeth and was both angry and jealous, while Hua Yujing was shy and uneasy with some envy, and the fourth aunt went reluctantly.

Qi Nian still looked very gentle and obedient, and Xiao Gong'e, who was standing on the side, hurriedly brought a chair and placed it beside Hua Zhang, and brought new cups and dishes to put in front of Qi Nian.

Qi Nian smiled at her and said softly, "Thank you." ”

The little Gong'e was a little shy and pursed her lips and smiled, and then stood back in place.

Hua Zhang's face was still a little not good-looking, but Qi Nian slowly picked up the wine jug and poured him a glass of wine, and said with a light smile: "Father is not worried about me, so he put me under his nose?"

Hua Zhang also snorted coldly, took the wine glass and drank it up, and said in a low voice: "I'll see what other tricks you can play, if you wantonly offend and lose people in front of the saint, don't blame your father for being unkind to you." ”

Qi Nian only felt a little ridiculous, only raised his hand to cover the smile at the corner of his mouth with Luo Pa, and reminded softly: "Father, you have already said this on the way you came, does the father have nothing to say to teach his daughter a lesson?"

The look on Hua Zhang's face ...... suddenly became very exciting, obviously deflated.

He sat like this for a while, only to hear a very shrill and deliberately long paging voice from outside the hall: "The emperor has arrived! The queen has arrived! The ladies and princes have arrived—"

Obviously, the emperor's whole family came together.

Seeing the crowd of people outside the hall and couldn't tell who was who, Qi Nian bowed deeply to the ground with everyone leaving the table, shouting long live in his mouth, and he was extremely solemn for a while, sweeping away the casual and casual state just now.

Hua Zhang was a little surprised to find that he, the concubine who grew up in the border mountain city, was originally just the daughter of a businessman who had no worries about food and clothing, and now he has only recovered the identity of the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than a month.

This is definitely not the first time she has made such a great gift to the emperor.

Hua Zhang's sure guess in his heart really made him guess right.

In his previous life, when Qi Nian was the favorite concubine of the fourth prince Li Jinyu, he also served on his left and right and followed him to various banquets, that is, he was never absent from the royal banquet.

Emperor Xu really didn't have any expectations for Li Jinyu's son, so he turned a blind eye to him, and he didn't see that he was carrying a beautiful concubine instead of a noble wife.
