Chapter 176: A Woman Who Has No Affection
Outside the hall, there were either guards or eunuchs or palace maids, Chang Ting was embarrassed and angry, and strode outside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The intimacy between the two happened to fall into Zhao Fei's eyes, and his heart was inevitably gloomy.
Walking on the way back to Yunqi Courtyard, Changting cursed Chenyan and Yan Zimu constantly.
Zhao Fei inadvertently glanced at her eyes and saw the ambiguous mark on her neck, which was unspeakably sad, and only occasionally smiled reluctantly.
※※※
Since the turmoil of borrowing money, Hua Muhan has been very busy, and he has never had time to go to Yunqi Courtyard.
Yan Zimu generously explained his helplessness, but he didn't see the dust, Changting was annoyed, and he shouted that as long as he saw him again, he would definitely not spare him.
These words were passed into the ears of Zimu and Zhao Fei, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to show his face.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed in mid-autumn.
The second day of September is the birthday of the Empress Dowager Dong, and the palace is busy putting up lanterns and preparing for the banquet guests.
It is said that Changting is being grounded, so he can be completely exempted from showing up, but I don't know if the Empress Dowager Dong did it on purpose, but let Sun Quan come to make an edict and let her go to the banquet.
With the lesson of the last time, Hua Muhan and Zimut came to tell her well, so that she would never show up again on that day, and just obediently hold on to the end of the party.
Although Chang Ting was very happy about this, he was a little depressed in his heart.
She thinks that she hasn't done anything wrong, she thinks she's not so stupid, she doesn't cause trouble, but these big men all use her as a troublemaker to teach her a lesson, which really insults her self-esteem.
The birthday banquet was set in the evening, and she was about to miss the hour, so she asked Xiaobao to stay and take care of Xiao Feibai, and took the other four people straight to the Kunhua Palace of the Empress Dowager Dong.
This banquet was prepared by Sun Quan, and her seat was not only a little bit ahead, but also very front, just below Concubine Shu, the head of several people who were also concubines.
As soon as she sat down, she felt that a sharp sword was coming straight at her, in all directions.
She is calm and composed, like an old monk who has entered the country, neither humble nor arrogant.
After a long time, those eyes receded in twos and threes.
However, there are still two very persistent parties on the left and right.
She frowned and looked at the superior first.
Needless to say, this woman with resentful eyes, tall and fat, and not very fair skin is naturally Concubine Shu, the daughter of the hussar general, Wang Yiqing.
When Concubine Shu saw her looking at herself, she snorted heavily, shook her sleeves and turned her head to look elsewhere.
Changting frowned, something is wrong!
It seems that I really offended a lot of people last time.
Before she could take another look, she looked back at the person sitting down.
Willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, a green shirt, full of pearls, full of weak wind, I see pity, about twenty-four or five years old.
Although Lan Yue was kneeling beside her, this time the position was relatively forward, and Chang Ting wanted to ask, but it was not very convenient.
When the woman in green saw her looking at her, she smiled softly.
Changting frowned, for some reason, she always felt that this woman's smile was a little fake, not polite, but hypocritical.
An inexplicable disgust arose spontaneously, making her in a trance.
This feeling seems to be not unfamiliar......
The annoyance was very faint, but it lingered in her heart for a long time, she gently clenched her fingers, faintly withdrew her gaze, and ignored the man.
Even she herself is a little puzzled, she has always liked to make friends the most, but she can't have a good impression of this woman.
The two queen mothers, the emperor, and the queen have not yet arrived, and all the princes and ministers have already arrived.
Chang Ting hastily swept the banquet opposite, but did not find Zhan Ling's shadow.
She heard Zimu say that he had returned to Kaiyang yesterday and would definitely come tonight.
While he was meditating, he heard a familiar cough.
She calmly raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, and glanced at the prince Jingjia who couldn't help but chatter and was walking in style.
Unexpectedly, there was also Qin Weilang walking side by side with him.
Chang Ting's little heart suddenly accelerated, and his eyes showed eagerness.
Zhan Ling was still holding the folding fan she had given her, and a pair of eyes couldn't stop sending waves to her.
I haven't seen him for nearly half a month, he has lost a lot of weight, and it must be a bit hard to go out.
Qin Weilang bowed his head at her and smiled gently.
Changting didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only restrain the idea of running over to talk nonsense with them, and watched them sit down.
Suddenly, just as Zhan Ling was seated, a delicate face broke into her eyes.
The man looked about her age, with a fair face and an air of elegance.
He was sitting next to Zhan Ling, smiling at Chang Ting.
Chang Ting was a little dazed, Lan Yue tugged at her sleeve and whispered in her ear, "The one opposite is the fifteenth prince who went to Yunqi Courtyard to see his master some time ago. ”
King Ruiyang, Xiao Yuqi, the son of the first emperor, born to the Empress Dowager Xia, fief Changshui County......
He......
Chang Ting's hand suddenly grabbed the purse on his waist.
Yes, it's him, he's the boy who ordered the Ouchi guards to help him pick up the purse that fell on the dead lotus leaves!
Presumably, it was in mid-autumn that he had already recognized himself, so he went to Yunqi Courtyard.
Chang Ting felt a little sorry in his heart, and hurriedly smiled at his chin.
Xiao Yuqi was slightly stunned, and then nodded a little shyly.
Chang Ting had a good impression of this slightly shy young man, at least, he felt better than the woman in green next to him.
I only heard the deacons and eunuchs shouting that the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen had arrived.
Everyone got up in unison, and then knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted long live, thousand years old.
Chang Ting followed and saluted, secretly raising his eyes and sweeping away.
I saw the emperor and the queen coming side by side, holding the Empress Dowager Dong was Liu Wanxin, the concubine Yu, and holding the Empress Dowager Xia was a delicate girl about fifteen or sixteen years old in a red dress.
She guessed that this should be the daughter of the Empress Dowager Xia, that is, Xiao Yuqi's own sister, the little princess Xiao Yumei.
Hua Muhan's eyes glanced at the banquet, and when he found the water-colored dress, he frowned imperceptibly.
I didn't expect her to be placed in such an eye-catching position......
Chang Ting's eyes continued to search among the crowd, and finally, she found the little turtle that was obviously dodging.
Hmph! Wait, I can hide from the first year of junior high school, I can't hide from the second year of junior high school, today, it's the second year of junior high school!
Everyone sat down, and Chang Ting obviously felt a cold light stabbing at her.
She didn't need to glance to know that it was the arrogant Concubine Yu.
"Queen Mother, why hasn't the fourth brother arrived yet?" As soon as he sat down, Hua Muhan asked the Empress Dowager Dong.
"Just now, he has sent someone to report, and he will be there soon. Empress Dowager Dong even smiled with majesty.
"This southern locust plague is the most serious disaster in Hongyuan County, and the fourth brother must have been sleeping all night and working very hard for it. Zhan Ling took over with a smile, "When he comes later, I have to let him drink a few more glasses." ”
