Chapter 246: Just Beginning
As soon as the seventh princess saw that the shape was wrong at this time, she swallowed the breath in her heart fiercely, a delicate smile appeared on her face, and she came over to support Wei Guifei and said: "Wei Niangniang, just now the son didn't know the identity of the little princess, and he stumbled a few words with her, it's all a trivial matter of the little girl's family, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
As she spoke, she glanced back at Hao Lianbei'er, the smile on her face was like a flower, and her voice was gentle and beautiful, "Sister Bei'er, you don't have to go to your heart, when the banquet is over, my sister will accompany you to walk around, and she will definitely make you happy." ”
She said so, Hao Lianbei'er didn't want to continue to entangle, not to mention, there was still Rong Xi standing next to her, Rong Xi smiled and said: "The princess has a good belly, she should be an example for us." ”
She said this pun, on the surface it was praise, but in fact it was sarcasm, the princess's proud and arrogant appearance just now, everyone present except Wei Guifei could see it, and besides, Rong Xi felt that although Wei Guifei was not present, she must also know, otherwise, how could she say what she just said?
The seventh princess's expression froze, the hatred in her eyes flashed, and then she said with a coquettish smile: "The third sister-in-law is really joking, everyone is embarrassed." ”
Rong Xi was given goosebumps by her, and Hao Lianbeier secretly stuck out her tongue and pouted her lips again.
Wei Guifei saw that it was okay, so she continued: "That's right, it's not in vain that your father loves you." Okay, I'm going to sit over there, so I won't have fun with you little sisters. ”
After that, a group of people sent them off, Wei Guifei went to the table under the corridor, and after sitting down steadily, the others waited for the rest to return to their seats.
Hao Lianbei'er pulled Rong Xi to sit beside her, raised her hand and pointed to a few tables in the east, and whispered, "Sister Rong, have you seen it?" Our mission from the country of Tomorrow Night is over there. ”
Rong Xi looked up, and found that the seats in his country could be sat at will except for the concubines in the palace under the corridor, and on the east side, they were divided into three parts, and a few small signs were also selected, which were written: "Bright Night", "Ling Wu", and "Chenyang".
No wonder the Seventh Princess wouldn't have thought that Hao Lianbei'er was an envoy from another country, it turned out that the people from the other delegations were all sitting there, and those who were here were all from Dazhao.
When the seventh princess and Rong Qiu saw that the situation had developed to this point, they would not be willing to sit with Rong Xi and the others, Wei Guifei was not in front of them, and they didn't even bother to do any more drama, so they flicked their sleeves and walked towards the other seats.
Hao Lianbei'er was even more happy, she didn't want to sit with the Seventh Princess and the others, pulling Rong Xi to chatter non-stop, the four princesses couldn't stop covering their lips and laughing, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time, and the three of them were also harmonious together.
There was not much time, and the sixth princess also moved from other seats, she was gentle and quiet, which was in stark contrast to Hao Lianbeier.
Since the last incident, Rong Xi has seen the sixth princess for the first time, but seeing that although she is still so quiet, she has a little more confidence between her eyebrows and eyes, far less weak than she was at the beginning, and she is a little more stable in her heart.
Immediately, a few more ladies who were willing to get acquainted with Rong Xi came over, and they chatted happily.
After chatting for a while, the table was finally opened, and exquisite dishes were served one after another, and there were two pots of good wine on each table, which could be continued if it was not enough.
These ladies and ladies eat, with elegant postures and slow movements, just ...... Can't get enough to eat. Rong Xi smiled helplessly in his heart, eating this kind of meal is really sinful, his stomach is so hungry that he has to take a small sip, why bother?
Hao Lianbeier was not very interested in eating, but aimed at the two pots of good wine, the wine was fragrant, like the aged pear blossom white, in the pear white just opened the season of wine, nine steaming and nine drying, and finally buried in the soil before the pear blossom fell, after three years to get up, the name pear blossom white.
Although it is wine, it is also good wine, however, for Rong Xi, the ancient wine is too light, not to mention that she is pregnant now and can't drink, and the other ladies and ladies are hindered by their status and drink very little, but it is really cheap Hao Lianbeier.
Rong Xi thought that Hao Lianbeier was the princess of Mingxiao Kingdom, and naturally she was indispensable to participate in this kind of banquet on weekdays, and the amount of wine must be good, not to mention that these wines were not strong wines, so they should be fine, so she went too.
However, what she didn't expect was that Hao Lianbeier had never drunk alcohol before, although she was a princess, there were not many opportunities to participate in these banquets, but because she was straightforward and active, and she loved martial arts and didn't love female celebrities, she was outside the palace a lot since she was a child, and Hao Lian Zize saw her very strictly, and she was not allowed to drink at all.
So, she didn't have the amount at all.
But this time, Hao Lian Zize was sad, and he had already ignored this matter, so he ...... The end result was that Hao Lianbeier quickly got drunk.
Rong Xi looked at Hao Lianbei'er, who was flushed, her eyes were empty, and she was smirking, she secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, stroked her forehead weakly, and said to Xiao'er: "Xiao'er, you go and ask the grandmother next to the concubine, see if there is a clean room in the palace next door, and help Princess Hao Lian to rest." ”
Xiao'er took the order, Rong Xi and the fourth princess took care of the drunk Hao Lianbei'er, and both of them looked at each other with a helpless smile, this girl......
The Seventh Princess and Rong Qiu, who were sitting on the other side, also glanced at each other at the same time, and saw a flash of cold light in each other's eyes, and then smiled at each other.
The men's seat was opened in the east hall, the distance was not too far, Leng Yixiu and the four princes were seated at the same table, Leng Yiwei was next to their table, the emperor was sitting under the corridor, with a smile on his face, it could be seen that he was indeed very happy.
He has already heard about the big competition this time, in the past, the big competition needed to spend a large amount of silver taels, although it was said that with the strength of Dazhao could afford it, but in the end it was an additional expenditure, and this year is different, I heard that Leng Yixiu used a lot of fresh methods, not only did not use the silver taels of the treasury, but also a large amount of money.
He is very satisfied with this son, not only to lead the troops effectively, but also to think that in this kind of thing is also quite brainy, to say that it is to save money and know thrift, to say that it is to know how to dominate and dispatch, this is very rare, I remember that I went to the household department when I was young.
He waved his hand, and the chief eunuch standing beside him immediately stepped forward, "Go, give me this pot of wine to King Ning's table." ”
"Yes." The eunuch took the order and left, carefully took the pot of wine, and when he arrived at Leng Yixiu's table, he said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness King Ning, this pot of wine was specially given to you by the emperor." ”
Leng Yixiu hurriedly stood up and saluted in the direction of the emperor: "Thank you, father." ”
When everyone saw this situation, they all instantly calculated Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, looking at this momentum, King Ning's chances of winning are very great...... It is said that since the death of the crown prince, the position of the prince has been vacant, and now this big competition is handed over to King Ning to do, and it is done so brilliantly, and today the emperor is giving wine in front of everyone, is there any hidden mystery?
Leng Yiwei hung his head, and his long thick eyelashes fell on his pale eyelids like butterfly wings, covering the look in his eyes, no one saw it, the light under his eyes flashed, it was a cold and mocking smile.
Just today, he wants to be cold and self-cultivation, and let the emperor see his ugliness with his own eyes, so that he will never turn over!
Leng Yixiu picked up a glass of wine, raised his head, and poured it all into his mouth.
Immediately, he poured another glass, the amber mellow wine reflected his gentle smile, he slowly got up, came to Leng Yixiu's approach, and said with a smile: "Brother Sanhuang, I heard that you have done a very successful job in this big competition, and my brother is here to express my congratulations." ”
Leng Yixiu smiled slightly, "The matter of Dabi was handed over to his brother by his father, so naturally he must do his best, as for success or not, it is just the beginning." ”
"That's right," Leng Yiwei drank all the wine in his glass, his lips became more and more red and moving because of the drink, "Yiqiē is just the beginning. ”
He just repeated Leng Yixiu's words, but his tone was a little colder, Leng Yixiu vaguely felt that something was wrong, and always felt that he had something to say, so he simply picked up the wine glass, drank it and ignored him.
Leng Yiwei just turned around and left, and the fourth prince whispered: "Third Emperor Brother, I always feel that something is wrong, listening to the words of the eighth prince, it seems that ...... There is another meaning. ”
Leng Yixiu nodded and said: "Today's occasion is special, we really have to pay more attention, otherwise once there is any accident, it will not be able to be light, you and I will pay more attention to his whereabouts." ”
The face of the fourth prince was solemn, and he nodded silently.
At this time, the eunuch under the corridor clapped his palms, the sound of silk and bamboo on both sides sounded, the melodious music swayed in the air, and a group of dancers danced gracefully and walked in from outside.
Suddenly, a little palace maid walked in, looking a little flustered, looking around for a while, walked in the direction of Leng Yixiu, came to his side and hurriedly saluted: "The slave has seen the prince." ”
"What?" Leng Yixiu was a little strange, he looked at this palace maid and felt a little angry.
"Back to the prince, it was Sister Xiao'er who called the slave maid to come, saying that the princess was a little unwell, and Mama Ying beside Wei Guifei led them to the Xinji Palace in the east, Sister Xiao'er couldn't leave, let the slave and maid come and invite you to come over and have a look." The little palace maid said, pointing outside.
Leng Yixiu looked in the direction she was pointing, and sure enough, he saw Xiao'er's shadow flashing.
Today's banquet is placed on the square, so the view is not obstructed, and you can see the people and scenery outside.
Hearing that Rong Xi had something, Leng Yixiu's heart was a little anxious, but he still asked in a cold voice, "Why is the princess unwell?" ”
