But after thinking about it, he smiled bitterly again, did he really hurt Changle? I'm afraid not, from beginning to end, I'm alone in the struggle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Xiao Cheng left, Changle stood in the rockery and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. She thought about Xiao Cheng's words full of disappointment over and over again in her heart.

In fact, at a certain moment, she really wanted to chase him out and tell him that she also wanted to stay in the capital and live a stable life, so she would not return to Wenshui.

In the end, she didn't move. But after a long time, she came back to her senses and found that she had already burst into tears.

Changle didn't know how to go back, and lay on the bed for a while, when a palace maid knocked on the door, saying that the palace banquet was about to start, Changle sat up and asked the palace maid to dress up again.

And by the time Changle passed, there were already a lot of people on the female side.

Her eyes were still a little swollen, but fortunately, the slightly swollen lips had disappeared, and she couldn't see anything when she applied lip red.

But the Queen Mother's eyes have always been very sharp, so she naturally saw that Changle was unhappy, and she was a person from the past, so she instantly guessed what Xiao Cheng had done, and she was a little angry.

I think Xiao Cheng's child is good, and I want to match the two of them, but Xiao Chengruo is always so reckless and disrespectful to Changle, how can she rest assured that Changle will marry him?

But the Queen Mother still didn't ask anything, just let Changle sit beside her.

Changle looked around, Concubine De, Concubine Yuan, Concubine Shu, and Lin Zhaorong were sitting relatively close. After that came several princesses, and other concubines.

And because Princess Duan is the daughter-in-law of Concubine De, and Yuan Jinyu is the daughter-in-law of Concubine Shu, they basically sit next to several palace concubines.

What is more peculiar is that Yuan Jinyu also has a child by his side, it is Mu Lianyi.

It was funny to say that in the afternoon, Yuan Jinyu went back to Cuiwei Palace and saw Mu Ling scolding Mu Lianyi.

Mu Lianyi's little face was about to crumple, and he looked at Mu Ling with tears in his eyes, no matter what Mu Ling said, he said that he wanted his Aunt Jinyu.

Finally managed to get Yuan Jinyu to go back, Mu Lianyi ran over directly like a small cannon battle, threw himself into Yuan Jinyu's arms, and looked at Mu Ling a little fiercely when he turned around, as if he wanted to share the same hatred with Yuan Jinyu.

Yuan Jinyu couldn't cry or laugh, and coaxed Mu Lianyi: "Lianyi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mu Lianyi was very aggrieved, grabbed one of her fingers, and was a little cautious: "Lian Yi woke up and didn't see his aunt, and thought that his aunt was gone." ”

"No, my aunt just went out to do something, you see, isn't this already back? At the palace banquet in the evening, my aunt still had to take Lian Yi with her. Yuan Jinyu really didn't expect that this kid's mind could be so delicate, probably because he couldn't find himself, Mu Ling felt that he was unproductive, so he scolded him.

When Mu Lianyi heard Yuan Jinyu's words, his eyes were shining: "Really? With Lianyi? Lian Yi doesn't have to follow his father? ”

Yuan Jinyu nodded, reached out and rubbed his head, and then glanced at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling really can't do anything about this child, and now that he has Yuan Jinyu's support, he can also fight with himself.

Before leaving, he just gave Mu Lianyi a look of settling accounts after the autumn, and then told Yuan Jinyu a few words, which can be regarded as entrusting Mu Lianyi to her.

When Mu Ling left, Mu Lianyi whispered to Yuan Jinyu and bit his ears: "Father is a big demon king, sometimes he can be fierce, auntie, let's ignore him." ”

Yuan Jinyu couldn't cry or laugh, how could she say that her father was the big demon king, but she was not good at educating anything, after all, she was not her own child, so she could only say: "Your father is also for your good, don't make your father angry in the future." ”

Mu Lianyi listened to Yuan Jinyu's words very much, and at this time, in order to make Yuan Jinyu like him more, he immediately said obediently: "Listen to Aunt Jinyu!" ”

Yuan Jinyu thought in his heart, if Mu Ling hadn't left, seeing this scene, it was estimated that he would not vomit blood.

So at the dinner, Mu Lianyi sat next to Yuan Jinyu, so well-behaved, but all the concubines liked it so much that they couldn't wait to come forward and pinch it a few times. But Mu Lianyi didn't like them touching him very much, so he hid by Yuan Jinyu's side.

Concubine Yuan finally couldn't help but quip: "Look, these two people are sitting together, like mother and son." Jinyu, you and His Royal Highness King Ning should also hurry up. ”

Yuan Jinyu smiled a little embarrassedly, really, mentioning this matter at this kind of palace banquet, although it was a family, it still made her a little unable to get off the stage.

And Mu Ze hasn't been back for a long time, even if she wants to...... That's not going to happen.

Concubine Shu also took care of Mu Lianyi on the side, asking him if he wanted to eat this for a while, and then asking if he wanted to eat that.

Changle always sat behind the Queen Mother, looking a little depressed, and he didn't even know when the dinner started.

Once a year, it is naturally held very grandly. The emperor first said some words, which was nothing more than that the wind and rain were smooth, and the country and the people were safe, and then many envoys from small surrounding countries stepped forward to pay tribute to the Great Zhou on behalf of their tribes.

Yuan Jinyu couldn't help but think of the first year when she met Mu Ze, she was sitting next to the Cui family, watching these envoys of Fanbang pay tribute, thinking about Mu Ze who was still fighting in the distance; This year, the person next to her has been replaced by Concubine Shu, but that man is still not there.

A little stunned, after Yuan Jinyu and the emperor spoke, he saluted with everyone and looked around.

The palace banquet went very smoothly, but Changle looked a little distracted, as if something had happened.

Yuan Jinyu couldn't help but be a little worried. Could it be that because of his own affairs, Changle is in a dilemma between himself and the Queen Mother?

However, the two of them sat too far away, and Yuan Jinyu didn't want to ask anything.

Mu Lianyi beside her was taken care of by Concubine Shu, and she didn't care too much, but occasionally told Mu Lianyi not to eat too much, and there would be other dishes for a while.

Sure enough, not long after the banquet began, after another dancer danced, it was regarded as a whole dinner today. The palace people pushed open the door of the palace, and the fish poured in, bringing in the dishes prepared by the eight cooks.

This time, not only those ministers, but even the emperor smelled the smell, and the look on his face couldn't help but be a little yearning.

The fragrance is so appetizing, I don't know what will happen when you actually eat it?

Because this is all booked in advance, how many dishes are in front of each minister are also arranged in advance.

Those who are in high positions and positions are all eight-plate, and the grades are slightly lower, and in order to show that they have no intention of competing for the limelight, the number is decreasing.

The palace concubine is also about the same, there are eight dishes in front of Yuan Jinyu, plus Concubine Shu's, it is sixteen plates, and the entire table is full.

Many people can't wait to get up, especially when the money has already been spent, and if they don't enjoy it well, they are too sorry for themselves.

Who knew that before everyone could move their chopsticks, a middle-aged man's voice came from the door of the main hall: "What's going on?" What other dishes? ”

Many people looked over there, and when Yuan Jinyu heard this voice, he knew who it was. The women's side is specially designed, the outside can't see the inside, but the inside can see the outside.

The man standing at this moment, put on a luxurious clothes, but he still seemed a little out of place with his temperament, his face was cold, his eyes were dead, but the things he did and the words he said were so uninhibited.

Isn't it the man who received eight thousand taels of silver from Jinyu in front of the Qinglou before.

Many people have already recognized this person, after all, this man's appearance is somewhat similar to that of today's saints.

So many officials stood up and saluted: "Ministers participate in Prince Ping!" ”

As more and more people saluted Prince Ping, the palace concubine's side was also lively.

After all, there were originally a lot of rumors in the palace about this Prince Ping, but now although no one dares to say it, everyone still wants to see how this son of His Majesty the former emperor is doing now?

But after seeing it, I was a little disappointed. They thought that even if they were not as good as several princes, they would be as handsome as the emperor.

Now it seems that even if you are wearing expensive clothes, how can you be so unpopular.

Some of the concubines lowered their heads, already with sarcasm in their eyes. Sure enough, it was a child born in the outer room, and he was named in the royal family, but in fact he had no real power at all.

The emperor did this, I'm afraid he deliberately snubbed him, right? And this time I called Prince Ping into the capital, didn't I want to show everyone a joke?

The two palace concubines were already whispering behind them, and when they said that, they also glanced at Prince Ping, but they really didn't treat him as a prince.

What many people don't know is that in previous years, at the palace banquet, the Ministry of Rites also symbolically handed an invitation to Prince Ping, but Prince Ping never entered Beijing.

This time, he took the initiative to ask to come over, and it has nothing to do with the emperor.

Prince Ping didn't understand what the situation was yet, but he asked again: "Ah, this king knows, yes."
