Chapter 104: New Year's Palace Banquet
A hint of cunning flashed in Rukawa Kaede's eyes, and there seemed to be ulterior motives in his words, I clenched the frosted dates in my hand and wrapped the oil paper anew. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info then smiled and said, "I have a sweet tooth the most, these are just enough for my cravings, thank you." “
"A few candied dates are nothing, but it's good if my sister understands my intentions."
I really thought about it, so I planned to put away this bag of frosted dates, but at this time, the fox eye came over, and the fox eye asked with a smile: "What good things did my brother-in-law give you, let me see." “
Rukawa Kaede didn't like Fox Eye in the first place, and when he heard Fox Eye call him his brother-in-law, it was to show that Chang was his wife, which made him even more resentful. But after he looked at me, he held back and walked away.
I calmly opened the oiled paper bag in my hand and handed the frosted dates to the fox's eyes: "Feng'er brought my favorite frosted dates when I was a child, do you want to taste them?" It's just that this frosted date is a little sweet, and I'm worried that the eldest son won't be used to it. “
The fox-eye did not respond, but reached out his hand, pinched a frosted date, looked at it in front of him, and then threw it into his mouth.
"It's a little sweet, it's not appropriate to eat too much, and Madame shouldn't be greedy."
The fox eye couldn't help but call Rukawa Kaede his brother-in-law, and he directly called me Madame, he wanted to push me directly to the cusp. But when the play ends, the old lady will definitely disappoint you and won't be able to get off the stage.
Qian Miaomiao slowly appeared in the hall with the side of the prince, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. She is dressed in a red dress as bright as a spring, and her moon eyebrows and starry eyes are a little more charming than Chang's, and I see that she is a little more merciful than Chang's, but her body lacks Chang's agility and refinement. She's beautiful, but not so beautiful that you never get tired of looking at her.
I couldn't help but take a second look at the heart-wrenching eyes of Shang Duan Hong. After today, his gentle smile, sword eyebrows, and bright eyes will never be seen again. It doesn't matter if I can't see it, just remember the way he looks at me at the moment. It's just that there is no emotion in this look, just like me in his eyes is transparent air.
The prince appeared with Qian Miaomiao, so after looking at Qian Miaomiao, people not only turned their heads to look at me, but their eyes were full of inquiry, and they attacked me like a mountain and a sea, which suddenly made me feel like an ornamental animal locked in an iron fence.
However, Chang's cold and indifferent expression has now become my best weapon, and those who whispered to me, after touching my unhurried cold gaze, suddenly felt bored, and no longer just stared at me.
At this time, the emperor appeared on the stage with the queen.
The queen is rich and solemn, with a beautiful posture, snowy skin, lotus steps move slowly, and her body sits lightly. I really can't see that she is only one year older than Duan Hong's biological mother, and sure enough, the maintenance secret method in the palace is second to none.
It's just that as soon as this dignified queen sat down, her eyes swept towards me like electricity.
"Who is this girl on Gao Gongzi's side.......?"
I didn't wait for the fox eye to answer, so I got up and bent down and saluted: "The courtiers pay tribute to the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose." “
As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked, the fox's eyes were serious, and the queen still smiled and asked, "Courtier?" “
"The courtier's name is Chang Lin, her grandfather is the Duke of Zhongguo, and her father is the general of Zhenxi."
"This palace remembers that Chang Lin, the grandson of Zhongguo Gong and the only daughter of General Zhenxi, seems to be the princess of the prince, why do you call yourself a courtier?"
"The courtiers were indeed the main room of the prince before. But because the concubine was dull and ignorant, clumsy and arrogant, she often spoke disrespectfully to the prince, and the prince was angry that the courtiers did not repent, and they had already sent the courtiers home with their resignation. “
The queen's face changed, she glanced at the emperor beside her, and then she was a little stunned: "The royal marriage, how can it be child's play, how can there be a divorce of wife and abandonment of wife, how can the son of the world be so unreasonable?" After speaking, he looked at Duan Hong, the son of the world, with a little annoyance.
The queen is the aunt of the prince Duan Hong, her personality is a little resolute, far stronger than her weak and lewd husband, if she did not sit in the harem, the prince Duan Hong would have been killed by the Gao family many times.
I hurriedly knelt down and bowed upwards: "The queen's mother is angry, they are all courtiers and clumsy daughters, and they are not worthy of being around the world, please don't be angry with the world." “
The queen is the most powerful backer behind Duan Hong, where would she really blame Duan Hong, but in front of the civil and military officials, she has to more or less criticize Duan Hong's willful nonsense, so that the people in the Zhongguo Mansion can get by.
Sure enough, the queen just smiled and praised the loyalty of the country, the virtue of the streamer, the teaching is well-organized, whether it is a man or a woman, the temperament is generous and virtuous, and the dragon and the phoenix are young. Then he just glared at Duan Hong angrily, even if it was a harsh reprimand.
"Miss Chang is so broad-minded, he is the son of the world, he has no eyes, and he has missed a good fate. You don't have to blame yourself, just get even! “
I stood up and felt a lot more relaxed, but then the queen suddenly changed her words again: "Miss Chang, then why are you sitting next to Gao Gongzi." “
Hehe, I just thought that this queen, who stood on the united front with the son, how could she let go of the opportunity to criticize the Gao family. It's just that she miscalculated, I want to stop all the sins on myself tonight, not to offend anyone, to cut off relations with everyone, to be alone, to wave my sleeves, and not to take away any clouds.
"Returning to the queen's mother, when the courtiers entered the palace, they were led by the palace maids to sit here. Then His Majesty and the Queen Mother boarded, and I did not dare to move at will, so I had to sit here for the time being. “
"Oh! I see, I don't know which palace person who doesn't have long eyes, so careless, after finding out, gouged out her faceless eyes. “
Damn, this dignified and beautiful queen mother is so ruthless, one mouth is to gouge out other people's eyes, and the shocked old lady suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Also, how do I hear this, how do I think it refers to the meaning of mulberry selling huai, and it clearly points the finger at a certain person or some people, among them, it is very likely that it also includes the Chang family. It's over, one of my lies may cause an innocent palace man to lose his eyes, this is not good.
As a result, I was about to open my mouth, and the emperor, who had been smiling, suddenly said to the queen: "The queen is angry, and today is welcoming the New Year, and there is no need to worry about those innocuous little things." “
This is the first time I have heard the emperor speak, and his voice is gentle, as gentle as the smile on his face, and not as absurd as the rumor. Duan Hong's gentle smile turned out to be inherited from his old son, but his vicious mind was exactly the same as his current queen mother. suddenly had a good impression of the emperor, is it not the so-called daughter-in-law who looks at her husband and has a better eye, but between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there will always be a wall that cannot be crossed.
Dizzy, what am I thinking about, I have nothing to do with Duan Hong's house anymore, and I will be a stranger in the future, why am I still thinking about it here.
"The emperor opens Chrysostom, and the concubines are taught."
The queen bowed slightly to the emperor, and then turned her head to look at me: "In that case, Miss Chang will return to the position of the Zhongguo banquet and sit down!" “
I nodded in acknowledgement and was about to move with the hem of my shirt in hand, when the fox eyes gripped my ankles tightly under the table.
I didn't dare to turn my head to look at him, and from the moment I stepped forward, his eyes never took off mine. Even if I didn't look at him, I felt a strong aura of resentment, and there was Chang in his heart.
I kicked Foxeye on the wrist with my other foot, broke free of Foxeye's hand with a blank face, and strode to the table where everyone was seated in the Chungkook Mansion. I saw the Duchess of Chung Kook and the mother of the Chang family, and cast an approving look at me. The two of them, who had just looked at me angrily, were now talking to me in a low voice that was unusually enthusiastic, and I just smiled and nodded, but did not answer.
The emperor announced the beginning of the Spring Festival banquet, and the palace music played a cheerful tune to welcome the Spring Festival. The melody is cheerful and melodious, the dancing is indescribably beautiful, and the ministers in the palace are all smiling and laughing on their faces.
I was looking for an opportunity to get out, so I peeked at the emperor and queen who were seated, both of them were engrossed in enjoying the song and dance, Duan Hong's house had never looked at me since he entered the hall, and he had been drinking and chatting with that Qian Miaomiao, and the relatives of the Zhongguo Mansion were also talking, and now no one paid attention to me, it was a good time for me to get out. However, the cold gaze of the fox eyes that had been staring at me intently made me feel a little weak, and my body could not move for a while.
After I got up and left the table on the side of Fox Eye, Fox Eye tried to get up to stop me, but was held down by Gao Zhisheng, the left minister on his side.
Gao Zhisheng, the old fox, had an unfathomable face, and his gloomy eyes flickered when he looked at me, making my heart tremble several times. This girl is definitely not the master I can mess with.
The fox-eyed could not stop me, and kept staring at me from a distance, as if I was the only one in his eyes in this great temple.
Whatever his original purpose for approaching Chang, I still hurt him.
Looking at him, my eyes were full of guilt. We just used each other to take advantage of each other, and now that I am standing on the high ground of victory, I can't look at him with pity, which will hurt him even more. I just hope that he can let go of Chang's family, do what he has to do, and meet the woman who loves him.
I withdrew my eyes from the fox-eyed, and just as the song ended, the dancing girl retreated, and the store burst into applause.
At this time, the emperor suddenly spoke: "According to the old rites of Dali, today you need to wear a car to Yong, and the palace people please 'silver flag'." “
