Chapter 10: Shame

Dinner was held in the Imperial Garden.

The sweet scent of osmanthus flowers in August is intoxicating, and the exquisite beauty of the Imperial Garden is also refreshing. Uniformly dressed ladies weaved from garden path to garden, and soon the long table was filled with delicate silver plates.

Wu Mei and Tang Ying were the first to arrive, she sat quietly on the main seat, and asked her subordinates to adjust the arrangement of the dishes from time to time. Tang Ying stood on the side of the road, directing the eunuchs to prepare all the lanterns and torches, and it seemed that this big meal was going to be eaten until the evening.

Next came Wu Shun and the two princes. After Prince Hong and Li Xianbai met Wu Mei, they obediently stood beside her and listened to her ask about their respective schoolwork. Li Xian's expression was a little unnatural, looking at Tang Ying for a while, and Wu Shun for a while.

Presumably this kid is worried that he will sue in advance, right? Tang Ying saw everything, but she pretended to be busy and deliberately avoided Li Xian.

Zuihou is belatedly Li Zhi and Helan Minyue, who are eager to stick together. Now Helan Minyue is the lady of Wei State, and she is of the same rank as her mother Wu Shun. She can finally justifiably rely on the emperor's side, showing how favored she is, and she no longer has to worry about other people's faces. If someone dares to ask her to restrain herself, she can immediately use the duties of a concubine to defend herself, "Serving the emperor is the most important thing, isn't it?" ”

It's just that she never had the opportunity to say this to others, because everyone was reluctant to touch Wu Mei's face. But she has clearly "written" this sentence on her face, which is why she seems so reasonable.

Li Zhi saw that Wu Mei and the others had already arrived, and he just wanted to walk over as soon as possible. Who knew that Helan Minyue was waiting for such an opportunity to show everyone, so she deliberately hugged Li Zhi's arm, eager to lean her whole body weight on him. Li Zhi was originally a little annoyed that she was ignorant, but when she saw the breast enlargement that was about to come out under her breasts, she immediately lost all her anger.

Tang Ying looked at Helan Minyue like a joke on the side. It is true that in the past few years, Helan Minyue has grown to her most beautiful years, her originally charming face has become fuller, and her figure, which has not bloomed, has also grown into a moving curve. She was dressed in the brightest colors in the palace, and she had the most enchanting flowers on her head, as if she was afraid that something beautiful would fall to set off her.

At first glance, her enchantment is a bit like the former Concubine Xiao Shu. However, if you touch it carefully, not to mention that the innate conditions such as facial features are one level lower, in terms of temperament alone, she is very different from Concubine Xiao Shu, who was born in the Lanling family. She was originally a little frivolous, but now she is even more exaggerated by his brother, which really makes the audience frown.

However, Li Zhi still seems to be very useful. Compared with the old and decrepit Wu Shun and the hard-tempered Wu Mei, Helan Minyue is indeed much more flavorful. Whether it's greedy for youth or freshness, she is his lifesaver anyway. It was the only way for him to enjoy the happiness of a man.

When Wu Mei saw them coming, she smiled and asked the emperor to sit beside her. The emperor smiled embarrassedly and wanted to pull out his arm, but he was hugged by Helan, and she deliberately coquettishly said: "The concubine wants to be next to the saint!" ”

The most embarrassing thing present was her mother Wushun, facing her daughter, who was also the emperor's concubine, she couldn't help but mention softly, "Minyue, can you sit next to me?" So many people, don't mess with the rules. The second half of the sentence is obviously lacking in confidence, saying that it is a lesson, but it sounds more like a plea.

Helan Minyue didn't buy it at all, and glanced at her and said, "But the emperor will definitely want me to sit next to him, oh?" She gently poked the emperor with her elbow. Li Zhi was about to speak, but Li Xian suddenly rushed over and said, "Father, the son also wants to sit next to you!" ”

Li Zhi was relieved when he heard this, and broke free from Helan Minyue's hand by picking up Li Xian, and sat next to Wu Mei with Li Xian.

Wu Mei's expression was calm, and she smiled at Li Zhi and said, "The emperor is a big celebrity tonight." Come, you have to sit next to your concubines, and no one is allowed to fight anymore. ”

Everyone laughed along, only Helan Minyue frowned and pursed her scarlet mouth into a line. In this way, Prince Hong sat next to Wu Mei, and Li Xian sat next to the emperor. She was just about to sit down next to Li Xian, when she suddenly heard Li Xian speak again, "It's strange, my aunt is an elder and should sit on the upper seat, right?" Why does Sister Helan want to sit next to Xian'er? ”

Helan Minyue's buttocks were just next to the stool, and when she heard this, she didn't sit or stand. Wu Mei nodded, and then Li Xian's words said: "That's the truth, Minyue, why are you not as sensible as a child?" ”

Helan Minyue lowered her head, her face was red and white for a while, and her fingertips trembled with anger. She stood up and left, reluctantly moved to the side, looking at Tang Ying who was sitting calmly opposite, and the evil fire in her stomach couldn't suppress it. She pointed at Tang Ying and said in a sour voice: "This is obviously a family banquet, where is your turn to be an imposter relative!" ”

Tang Ying had expected that she would become the target of bombardment, but she was not as impulsive as this stupid girl, she knew that there were emperors and empresses present, and some people who stood up for themselves.

So she gently propped up her chin with one hand, put on the most elegant appearance, looked at her with a quiet smile, and let her pair of round and lovely dimples slowly bloom on the side of her mouth.

If Tang Ying is also out of shape, then Helan Minyue may be able to balance a little. But looking at Tang Ying's demeanor, and he is so captivating the country and the city, he highlights himself even more like a yellow-haired girl. She was so angry that she was about to blow up!

So she couldn't help herself from picking up the glass and was about to throw it at her.

"Presumptuous!"

It is rare to see that the emperor and queen opened their mouths at the same time, glaring angrily at the same time. She shuddered with fright, and a full glass of wine spilled onto her skirt.

Before they could speak, Li Xian trotted to Tang Ying and knelt down, and said to her sincerely: "Xian'er listened to my aunt that when Xian'er was born and was in danger, you did your best to protect the queen mother and Xian'er. And Xian'er still listens to the misunderstanding and hurts you, please forgive Xian'er! Tang Ying was so moved that he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly helped him up and held him in his arms. The prince also came over and bowed to her and said, "Please also accept Hong'er's worship." Tang Ying knew that Li Hong was shy, and it was not easy to take the initiative to say it now. also touched the prince who was almost as tall as himself, and said repeatedly: "This is what I should do." I'm embarrassed that you guys are so serious. ”

Why did the situation develop like this, it was simply shocking that Helan Minyue was dumbfounded. Wu Mei pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, look at it, this is like a family." ”

Li Zhi remembered Wu Mei's first two productions, especially the hardships she experienced the second time, and also sighed: "Yes." He looked at Tang Ying's beautiful and gentle face, and couldn't help but wonder how good it would be if this was his wife.

Helan Minyue was not convinced, and what else did she have to say. Li Zhi suddenly said to her coldly: "Minyue, you are drunk. Go back and rest! ”
