The three of them didn't stay long outside, and the maid came to invite them, saying that it was time to start the table. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the three of them entered the house, Duan Ning looked around, and said curiously, "The ladies of the palace haven't arrived, should we go over first?" ”

Min Hui explained with a smile, "The ladies of the palace will go directly to the banquet later, and they won't come." ”

Duan Ning said "oh" at this time, a little embarrassed, Song Runuan and Minhui looked at each other and smiled, stepped forward to take her hand, Song Runuan smiled and said, "You don't come to the capital often, so it's inevitable that you don't understand this, and you'll know it later, don't you?" ”

"Yes." Duan Ning also showed a sweet smile, and Song Runuan liked it very much.

The eldest princess and the princess also looked at each other and smiled when they saw this, and the eldest princess said, "Duan Ning has been introverted since she was a child, and she doesn't like to talk much, and I'm worried about how she will marry in the future." Now that I have the county lord and Miss Song, I am really relieved. ”

The princess smiled and nodded, "What the eldest princess said is true, however, Duanning is quiet and gentle, easy-going and very atmospheric, presumably she will be able to marry Ruyi Langjun in the future." ”

The eldest princess was very helpful when she heard this, and nodded with a smile.

The ladies present also echoed one after another, but they were envious and jealous in their hearts, only saying that Song Runuan's luck was so good, and she had a relationship with the eldest princess as soon as she came.

However, no matter how angry you are, it's useless, after all, who calls someone is the serious Miss Yan of the Song family, look up at this full scene, except for the eldest princess and Princess Kang, which one is better than Song Runuan's family background? Even the status of the second miss of the Song family is definitely not comparable to that of this third miss Song.

Thinking about this, most of the ladies and ladies present also rested.

However, naturally there are still some people who are not convinced, but at this time, Song Runuan and his party did not care about guessing other people's thoughts, and hurriedly walked to the main hall.

When I arrived at the main hall, I found that the men seemed to have already chatted, and everyone scattered to find their own location, and the eldest princess was naturally the emperor's head as a distinguished guest, followed by Prince Kang's family, and then Song Guogong's family.

Song Runuan found a seat and sat down, and felt that someone on the opposite side seemed to be looking towards this side, Song Runuan looked up, and it happened to meet Shen Hongyuan's sight.

The two of them met their eyes and quickly moved away, as if they had never known a strange man or woman, but the meaning of the moment their eyes met, both sides understood.

Song Runuan looked to the side again, and naturally saw the second prince Shen Hongxuan staring at her, playing with a small jade cup in his hand, and his eyes were very playful. Seeing this, Song Runuan shook her body slightly, and then teased Song Rulan in a low voice, "Second sister, look, the second prince is looking this way!" ”

As soon as Song Rulan came back to her senses, she heard Song Runuan's joking words, and her whole face turned red and slapped Song Runuan, "You hate it, what kind of occasion is this, and you are still talking nonsense." ”

Song Runuan squeezed her eyes, "How can I talk nonsense, I don't believe you can take a look for yourself!" As she spoke, she turned her head and covered her mouth and snickered, Song Rulan really raised her head as she said, and just met Shen Hongxuan's eyes, Shen Hongxuan's heart was a little bored for a while, but he couldn't show it, so he showed a cynical smile to Song Rulan.

Song Rulan suddenly lowered her head with a flushed face, and no longer dared to look at the other side.

Duan Ning and Minhui on the side sat close to each other, and they happened to witness the whole process, and Minhui's eyes suddenly became more clear. Duan Ning was still a little unclear about the situation, so Min Hui told Duan Ning what she saw, Duan Ning covered her mouth and snickered for a moment, and then said in Min Hui's ear, "Actually, I just saw the second prince look more warm." ”

"Shhhh......h ”

Although Duan Ning has a naïve and simple personality, he is not a fool in the end, he knew what he meant when he heard Minhui's words, so he nodded immediately, sat down and didn't say anything more, but talked to Minhui and the others about the customs of the capital, clothes and jewelry.

Song Runuan here saw that the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, and they also sat down, and the girl chatted happily as if there was no one around.

When the eldest princess and Princess Kang saw this, they couldn't hide a smile in their eyes.

After chatting for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of a whip outside, the emperor is coming!

The girls immediately returned to their seats and sat upright. Three whips sounded, and then the eunuch's sharp and long voice came, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

One after another, and after nine sounds, a bright yellow boot entered everyone's field of vision. Everyone bowed down one after another, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The bright yellow boots climbed the stairs step by step, and finally stopped, and everyone knelt quietly on the ground, feeling the majesty of the emperor, no one dared to move.

Finally, I heard a slightly old but majestic voice say, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Again, the voices of the crowd echoed through the dome, and everyone rose and sat down in their seats.

Song Runuan secretly looked up, only to see the emperor sitting on the throne of the dragon chair in the middle, with the queen and the queen mother on the left and right, and the imperial concubine was not the queen's head, but the queen's position of retreating half a step.

What does that mean?

The emperor made it clear that the imperial concubine was almost on an equal footing with the queen?

Song Runuan was a little cold, and then looked at the indifferent look of the first queen, which was completely different from the heavy makeup of the imperial concubine who was like a spring breeze. Song Runuan in her previous life also participated in such a palace banquet, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it at that time.

However, in this life, she suddenly understood the bitterness in the queen's heart, and she understood how much courage it took to sit in that position, how much loneliness she had to endure and how much the emperor did not want to see her.

is obviously a married wife, but in the end it ends bleakly.

Thinking of this, Song Runuan's nose suddenly became a little sour, and she lowered her head to hide her emotions.

At this time, the emperor said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let everyone enter the palace to celebrate, don't stick to the number of etiquette!" ”

"Yes!" The crowd replied.

Then the sound of silk and bamboo music sounded, the singing and dancing moved, and the palace maids with various dishes rushed in, giving dishes to each table, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet began to warm up.

The queen got up to toast the emperor, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the concubines are here to wish the emperor good health and longevity." When she said this, the queen had a faint smile on her face, but Song Runuan saw that this smile did not reach the queen's eyes.

However, the emperor didn't seem to care, hearing this, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and drinking a glass of wine was perfunctory.

After a while, the imperial concubine stood up, took the wine glass of mutton fat and white jade, and smiled at the emperor, "Just now my sister has said everything my sister wants to say, and the concubine is here to wish the emperor a long life and good health, and the spirit of Ryoma!" ”

Seeing a woman in her forties, her voice is delicate and can pinch out water, no wonder the emperor likes it tightly. Sure enough, I saw the smile on the emperor's face with pleasure, "You just can talk, I like it!" After speaking, he raised his neck and drank a glass of wine.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine smiled even more coquettishly, and said, "Since the emperor is in a good mood today, the concubine has the courage to ask the emperor for a reward, and I don't know if the emperor agrees?" ”
