Chapter 216 Palace Banquet

Princess Min Qian is two years younger than Princess Tang of Xin, but it looks much older, her face is round, her appearance is very ordinary, her eyes are not big but extremely bright, her eyes are gentle but with a faint vigilance and alienation, wearing the same princess costume, meticulous from head to toe, and there is no decoration outside of etiquette, if it is not for this eye-catching princess costume, I am afraid that I will never find it again if I throw it into the pile.

Li Xiaonuan's heart flashed with a hint of surprise, this is very different from the Princess Min she imagined, she heard Cheng Ke say that King Min was born very well, and he is the one with the best appearance and demeanor among the four princes, this Princess Min can be harmonious with King Min, and can often pretend to be a man and a person who hangs around with King Min, even if it is not extremely beautiful, it should always be chic and full of aura, how can it be such an inconspicuous middle-aged ****?

Li Xiaonuan smiled, bent her knees to see the salute, Princess Min returned the salute with a very decent smile, bent her knees slightly, and did not speak, Princess Xin looked at the two with a smile, and pointed to the little girl not far from herself:

"This is a little girl, Zhou Xin'er, who is ten years old this year."

Zhou Xin'er was wearing a pink green dress, wearing a jasper drop-shaped step, her figure was not enough, but she was already as slim as a new lotus, with the introduction of Princess Xin, she bent her knees and saw the salute, her eyes were full of curiosity, she looked at Li Xiaonuan carefully, and when she saw Li Xiaonuan looking over, she hurriedly lowered her eyes shyly.

Li Xiaonuan looked at her with fond eyes, turned her head to look at Princess Xin, and said humbly:

"It's because I didn't think about it, when I go back, I'll have someone send the meeting gift to Xin'er to the house."

Princess Xin smiled politely, pointed to the little girl standing beside Princess Min and introduced:

"This is Zhou Yanran, the eldest daughter of King Min's mansion, seven years old this year."

Zhou Yanran was poking her head from behind Princess Min on her toes, poking her head out from behind Princess Min lively, looking at Li Xiaonuan with admiration in her eyes, listening to Princess Xin's introduction, she jumped out lightly, and she didn't see any courtesy, she only looked up at Li Xiaonuan, and exclaimed excitedly:

"You're so good-looking, even better than they say"

Princess Xin's eyes were full of smiles, she glanced at Princess Min lightly, turned her head, and looked at Li Xiaonuan and Zhou Yanran with a smile on her face.

"Hurry up and give the Lord of Anfu County a gift"

Li Xiaonuan's eyes were full of smiles, and she couldn't help but reach out and pull Zhou Yanran, who was about to bend her knees and salute with her skirt, and looked her up and down, this Zhou Yanran was born very brightly, not at all like Princess Min, it seems that this appearance should be Xiao Zi's father, the eyes are big and bright, the eyes are unusually smart, clear, lively, and his face is full of smiles from the bottom of his heart.

"You've grown up and you're even better looking than me"

Li Xiaonuan looked at her and said seriously, Zhou Yanran's face was flushed, her cheerful smile overflowed, she lifted her toes and was about to speak, Princess Min gently pulled her back, bent her knees slightly, and looked at Li Xiaonuan with a smile:

"It's all because I'm not strict with discipline, and I'm rude, and I ask the lord of Anfu to forgive me."

"Yanran is innocent, I like her very much, but I am rude, the princess is not strange."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly replied with a smile, Princess Xin stepped forward and pulled Princess Min, and said affectionately:

"You, you're just too cautious, and the Lord of Anfu is not an outsider, how can you care about etiquette or non-etiquette with children? You don't have to be too careful. Alright, let's go inside. ”

Princess Xin walked in front, and Li Xiaonuan let Princess Min, who was slightly half a step behind, and entered the main hall of the drama with Zhou Xin'er, Zhou Yanran and others.

Cheng Guifei was sitting on a wide chair in the middle of the main hall, and King Jing's side concubines, Sun and Dai, were waiting cautiously on the left and right.

Li Xiaonuan and the others hurriedly stepped forward to return to their positions, and as everyone bowed and bowed, Cheng Guifei smiled dignifiedly, watched everyone sit down, pointed to Princess Xin and Princess Min and others, looked at the eldest princess, and said with a smile:

"We're old, just sit and watch the play, what's the matter, let them be busy."

The eldest princess nodded with a smile in her eyes, and followed Cheng Guifei's words and said:

"No, it's time for them to show up, let's just sit and drink tea and watch the show."

The eldest princess of Fuqing turned her head and took over with a smile,

"It's not this reason, this is a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, that's the benefit of this idea"

Princess Runan, Princess Jingbei, Mrs. Tang Cheng, Mrs. Yan Chengxiang and other old ladies sitting near Cheng Guifei all laughed, gossiping, and echoed lively, Cheng Guifei turned her head, looked at Li Xiaonuan and commanded:

"You also go, don't patronize your mother-in-law today, mother, you have to do your filial piety."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly bent her knees and agreed, Princess Runan smiled and turned around and pushed Li Xiaonuan and said:

"Your mother is jealous, go ahead, follow a few sisters-in-law today to do your filial piety."

Li Xiaonuan agreed, turned around and retreated to Princess Min, standing with her hands down.

The chief's chamberlain sent a play excerpt to report, and in the spacious open space in the middle of the main hall, the blessing song and dance drama was performed.

Li Xiaonuan followed Princess Xin and Princess Min, and didn't dare to watch the song and dance at a glance, but only paid attention to the every move of Cheng Guifei, the eldest princess and other old ladies who accompanied Cheng Guifei, handing tea, snacks and so on.

King Jing's side concubines Sun, Dai's, and King Xin's side concubine Qian, stood in the back row, picking up and handing all kinds of things to Princess Xin and others, and then passed them down to the people in the palace.

After a few rounds of tea and snacks, the song and dance in the middle of the hall have also been performed ****, the singing and piano songs are melodious, Cheng Guifei turned her head to look at the three of them and ordered:

"You sisters should also go over there and listen to this song, and take a break."

The three of them agreed, retreated to the corner of the hall not far from Concubine Cheng and sat down, Li Xiaonuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and watched the singing and dancing in the middle of the hall.

Princess Xin looked left and right carefully, got up slowly, moved her steps quietly, moved to Li Xiaonuan's chair and sat down, leaned slightly towards Li Xiaonuan, smiled and whispered:

"Let's watch it together, and we can talk."

Li Xiaonuan's heart suddenly became alert, but his face was still normal, and he nodded with a smile.

"The emperor loves this song very much, saying that he can hear the fragrance of flowers and plants, and our lord also said that it is good, saying that it makes people have the heart of returning to the field, I am a layman, I have listened to it several times, and I have not heard any place with the fragrance of flowers and plants, which can make people return to the field."

"Well, I can't hear it, but I just think it makes people feel comfortable."

Li Xiaonuan replied honestly, Princess Xin smiled with a stretched face, was silent for a moment, and said as if very casually:

"The prince of the world is on this mission, and it will take more than two months to go back and forth, right? It's also hard for you. ”

"I don't have any hard work, but I just wait for my in-laws as usual."

"When the son of the world goes out, you always have to worry about it all the time, why don't you work hard? Besides, it was an errand from the North Third Road, which made people even more worried. ”

Li Xiaonuan turned his head, looked at Princess Xin with blank eyes, and said hesitantly:

"The master has a small entourage around him, all of whom have been waiting for him since he was a child, and his daily life is better than me, where is the need for me to care? I don't know anything about the mission, but when I go out, it's not as hard as at home. ”

Princess Xin looked at Li Xiaonuan, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, her brows frowned slightly, Princess Min watched the drama in front of the main hall with all her attention, as if she didn't notice the words of Princess Xin and Li Xiaonuan.

Li Xiaonuan hung her head slightly, looking at Princess Min's stiff palm on her knees, and the handkerchief that was tightly pinched between her fingers, a smile flashed in her eyes, in addition to Cheng Ke, there was also Qian Jisheng, Princess Min's father.

In the past few days, because of the North Third Road, the capital is very lively, first Xu Shengrong's disappearance, it is rumored that it was because of the beauty robbery with Tang Ergongzi, Xu's mother kowtowed at the door of Xinwang's mansion, and went to the door of Tang Cheng's mansion to accompany the crime, crying and begging to let her son live.

Then there is Wu Wanshan and a box of account books escorted back by Kunhe, although the case has not yet been sent to the Criminal Department for trial, but in this case, she asked Kunhe carefully, there is no trial in this case, the treasury silver of Taiyuan Mansion has been embezzled, and it has been made into a nail in the coffin by Cheng Ke.

Wu Wanshan's case, she knows, it seems, Princess Xin knows, Princess Min also knows that even if Xu Shengrong is missing, Qian Jisheng can barely tear it open, well, it depends on Cheng Keken's willingness to let him tear it apart, after all, that night, he and Tang Ergongzi stayed in Los Angeles together, and they set off together the next day.

As for Wu Wanshan's case, how could Qian Jisheng, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, get out of the way? Li Xiaonuan laughed in her heart, if it weren't for this, this Winter Solstice Festival, I was afraid that King Min and Princess Min would have to be 'sick' at home.

Princess Xin and King Xin have a very good relationship, Princess Min and King Min Qinse and Ming, these things are related to Tang Ergongzi and Qian Jisheng, the two naturally know, naturally care, and naturally try their best to protect their families.

But himself, how Cheng Ke treats himself, does he know some things about Cheng Ke, knows some things in the court, I am afraid that there are few people who are clear, at least the two people around him are not clear, they just want to explore and talk to themselves.

Princess Xin turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, who was slightly hanging her head and smiling and drinking tea, hesitated for a moment, and changed the topic,

"Just now, I saw that the county lord of Anfu loves Xin'er and Yanran very much, the county lord of Anfu likes children so much, it is good to give birth to a little son as soon as possible, alas, but when you have a child, this parent's heart can no longer be let go."

Set off on Friday, and then went to a deep mountain and old forest, to receive education, the first day of the hotel, the Internet speed is only enough to get on QQ, the next morning to get up, simply cut off the network, even the mobile phone signal is not smooth, sad

Although this countryside is good, it is difficult to survive without the Internet

I just got home, wiped my sweat, and resolutely didn't go to places where there was no net in the future
