Chapter 30: Self-inflicted humiliation

"Who?" Shangguan Jingxuan looked at Brother Wang puzzled, not knowing what he meant, but Shangguan Jingwen didn't say anything anymore, just asked him to wait.

The music stopped, and the whole birthday banquet gradually quieted down in the long yawn of King Hua, Yuan Kejin slowly opened his sleepy eyes and raised his hand to ask Cao An the people of His Royal Highness: "Cao An, the guests are still here, why did the music and dance stop?" ”

Cao An replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the birthday banquet is about to end, and everyone is waiting for Your Majesty to speak!" ”

"It's over? Oh......" King Hua is old, and his head seems to be a little unable to turn, obviously not understanding what Cao An means, "Then what are you doing here?" Scatter, disperse! As he was about to get up and leave the table first, he was stopped by Cao An: "Your Majesty, all the princes are waiting for Your Majesty to speak, and you can't disperse like this." ”

"Are you waiting for the Lone King to speak? The lonely king has nothing to say, so let's disperse like this! Yuan Kejin yawned and raised his hand, as if he was drunk, he walked down the stairs unsteadily, and Yuan Chengcheng on the side also hurriedly got up to support him.

His Royal Highness's princes and princes were stunned, and they ended like this? Why did the princess of Allure choose a son-in-law end before it started? Everyone was very dissatisfied with King Hua's indecency, but because of Huaguo's national strength, they didn't dare to take the initiative to turn their faces, so they had to take advantage of the chaotic scene to make a strong momentum, and the voices of dissatisfaction were louder than one another, but no one dared to stand up and accuse King Hua of being rude.

"Your Highness? This ......" Sun and the others were also greatly surprised, and stepped forward to ask what the master meant. Shangguan Jingwen smiled: "Don't panic, how can the old fox just attract us to stop like this, and the show is going to play!" ”

Sure enough, Hongchan climbed to the top of the palace steps followed by a group of palace maids, looking down at the kings and princes of His Royal Highness, although there was a smile on her face, but there was a kind of momentum of not being angry and arrogant.

"You don't have to worry, your majesty has already prepared for you what you want," Hong Chan glanced at the palace maid below, "Don't give your majesty's invitation yet!" ”

The maids should claim that it was, and the post was presented in an orderly manner, and the birthday banquet, which had finally quieted down, soon became lively again in a burst of unevenness, and several princes who were not invited were unconvinced: "Everyone came together, why didn't we!" ”

Hongchan had expected that there would be a disturbance, and the shallow smile on her face did not diminish in the slightest: "Your Highness has already accepted Your Majesty's thank you gift in her sleeve, presumably she must be in a hurry to return to the dynasty to resume her life, His Majesty King Hua understands His Highness's urgency and does not dare to delay His Highness's trip, where did His Highness blame His Majesty for his inconsiderateness?" ”

Hearing Hongchan say this, the face of the person who shouted the loudest just now turned red, and the jade cup hidden in his sleeve was originally extremely light, but at the moment it was as heavy as a mountain, and the pressed arm was placed somewhere.

Another person was unconvinced and asked, "What about me?" I didn't take anything, so why didn't I have an invitation? Originally, he just wanted to ask the reason, but his words stabbed the sore spot of several other people, and he was immediately met with several pairs of cold eyes, and the momentum of questioning in his tone was much smaller.

Hong Chan smiled: "Your Highness has added a new little prince to the palace, presumably the princess and the prince are very worried about Your Highness, Your Majesty empathizes with His Highness's experience of becoming a father for the first time, and knows that His Highness must not want to stay for a moment at this time, so he did not rashly invite His Highness." As for the gift to congratulate His Highness on the joy of the world, His Majesty has already prepared it. As soon as she finished speaking, a maid came in with a gift box and respectfully presented it to the man.

The man was embarrassed and let his entourage accept the gift, his face was red and white, and he didn't dare to say more. In fact, he didn't have a princess, but he had a few good maidservants, and he thought that the two countries were far apart, and King Hua would not know, but he didn't expect that King Hua would investigate even the fact that he had a child.

A few people below originally wanted to theorize again, but looking at the situation, they also understood that it was in vain for them to say more, and it only increased their embarrassment, so they slowly quieted down.

The corners of Hongchan's lips raised a touch of sarcasm, and she asked the others below: "I don't know which prince still has questions, Hongchan can also answer them together." ”

Everyone looked at each other, although they were unwilling, but no one dared to stand up and question.

Luo Ziqi handed the red invitation card to Huangfu Yehan, Huangfu Yehan stared at the golden words on it, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said after a long time: "Put it away!" ”

After the birthday banquet, everyone walked outside the palace with their own thoughts, and Luo Ziqi also followed Huangfu to walk out after the cold night. As he was walking, he suddenly felt someone hit him with a stone, and when he turned around, he saw Yuan Chengcheng behind the rockery shaking the slingshot in his hand at him and motioning him to go over.

Luo Ziqi pointed to his nose in surprise, wondering if the little princess had found the wrong person, and if she wanted to beat her, she should also beat his master! Yuan Qingcheng nodded at him from afar, hooked his fingers, and asked him to go over immediately.

He hesitated for a moment, glanced at his master's back, and finally ran over obediently.

"You," Yuan Qingcheng swept him from head to toe and raised his chin: "What's your name?" ”

"Humble ...... Gauze...... Luo Ziqi. Luo Ziqi guessed in horror the meaning of the princess of Allure calling himself, he only knew that he had always been very open in the palace maids, but the princesses did not have much contact, could it be that although this princess of Allure was born stunningly, her vision was no different from those palace maids? This is difficult, according to the plan, she should have taken a fancy to His Royal Highness the Prince, if she really ...... What can he do?

"Well, the name is good," it's just a pity that it's a stammer, and it's really dragging the back legs of the emperor's cold night, Yuan Qingcheng thought with some dissatisfaction in his heart.

Originally, I wanted to ask him why he pointed out his clothes and Huangfu Yehan at the birthday banquet, whether they thought she didn't look good in that dress, but they were afraid that Huangfu Yehan really didn't like her appearance in that dress, so after thinking about it, he decided to pick another topic and ask him what he thought. Pinching the corners of his skirt, Yuan Chengcheng pretended not to care and asked, "Your Highness...... It doesn't seem like I'm happy today, do you know why? ”

As soon as she heard her ask His Highness, Luo Ziqi immediately realized the value of her own use - it turned out that she wanted to use herself to explore His Highness.

"King Hua's birthday banquet, the whole world celebrates, His Royal Highness was entrusted by His Majesty and Niangniang to congratulate his birthday, how can he be unhappy if he feels honored and too late?"

"Don't lie to me with that rhetoric! His face today is obviously gloomy, as if it is going to rain when I follow, when I can't see it, if you dare to lie to me, I will let my brother-in-law cut off your head! "Although I know that his coldness has the intention of protecting himself, it won't be ugly like that, right? There must be other reasons.
