Chapter 157: Arriving Late
Princess Liu said: "That's right, I'm afraid that King Shen doesn't want to do this, after all, he has always been filial, and it is really difficult for him to be sandwiched between his mother and daughter-in-law." ”
The queen said: "Yes, the palace also feels sorry for their mother and son, so I deliberately took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to arrange this family banquet, hoping that they can ease the relationship first, and then talk about it slowly." ”
Princess Liu said: "Queen Mother, Concubine De and King Shen and his wife will definitely thank you for your good intentions." ”
The queen smiled: "Forget it if you thank you, as long as they don't waste a piece of the heart of the palace." ”
Princess Liu said: "Definitely not, besides, there are also daughters-in-law and several other princesses, everyone will help." ”
The queen said, "Hey, that's good! ”
Just as they were talking about Princess Heng, Princess Heng's side concubine, and Princess Ke also arrived together, and everyone sat down affectionately after greeting each other.
Everyone is very tacit, and they didn't bring their children with them, although there will be comparisons between each other as concubines, but they are only in private, and they are still harmonious on the surface.
Princess Heng and Princess Ke are also very affectionate to Xibao in the corner, especially Princess Heng, after that incident, she has a good impression of Xibao.
Since they are all concubines, everyone is also chatting lively, because King Shen and his wife have not yet arrived, everyone will still talk about the latest topic, and the matter of King Shen and his wife will naturally be mentioned.
Princess Heng was worried first: "Queen Mother, will King Shen and his wife also come this time?" ”
The queen sighed: "This is a family banquet, no matter how stubborn the child is, he should know how to count etiquette, so he should come." ”
Princess Heng sighed: "These third brothers and third brothers and sisters are really worrying, a few days ago, the daughter-in-law also went to their mansion on a special trip, fortunately, this time I didn't eat the closed door, but seeing that the third brother and the third brother and sister are not very good, it is estimated that they are also uncomfortable." ”
The queen said: "Hey, I have an awkward quarrel with my mother, which must be uncomfortable." ”
Princess Ke said, "Sister Le, you have seen them." Hey, I've been there twice, but I haven't seen anyone. ”
Princess Heng said: "I've been there several times, and this time I just met it by chance." It's been rumored like that in the capital, and I'm not at ease like everyone else. ”
Princess Liu said: "Sister, it's good to see it, after all, it's my own brother, we still have to help with this matter." ”
Princess Heng said: "This matter??? After all, it is a private matter of the third brother and the third brother and sister. How can we help? ”
Princess Liu said: "We definitely can't manage the private affairs of the third brother and his princess, but the estrangement between the third brother and Concubine De, we have to help and resolve it as soon as possible." ”
Princess Heng said: "This is for sure, we are all here today, if there is really anything, we have to watch some." ”
Princess Ke said: "That's for sure, sisters, don't worry." ”
The queen smiled: "That's good, everyone has this heart, and the palace will be relieved." This time, I wanted to take the opportunity of the family banquet to ease the relationship between them, but now that everyone understands, this palace won't say much. ”
was chatting, and the first few ladies in the palace also arrived one after another, but Concubine De arrived relatively late.
Concubine De actually knew what the queen meant for a long time, but Qi Shen was really angry with her some time ago, she stayed in her own palace and didn't want to go anywhere these days, so she was bent on finding a better side concubine for Qi Shen, and she could fulfill her dream of hugging her grandson. Second, it can also suppress the arrogance of the Murong clan.
She thought about going to the queen a little later, at least until Murong arrived before appearing, there was no reason for her mother-in-law to wait for her own daughter-in-law, not to mention that she was still a person who had no own heart.
But left and right. The other sisters in the palace have arrived, her good daughter-in-law Murong has not yet appeared, she really can't sit still, seeing that the time is coming, she just wants to give Murong a horse again, and she has to consider the face of the queen.
No way. She had no choice but to come before the Murong clan.
As soon as she entered the door, she apologized and said: "Queen Mother, the concubine is late, please forgive the Queen Mother and all the sisters." ”
The queen smiled: "Hey, it's just a family banquet, and besides, it's a while, you're just right, sit down!" ”
Concubine De nodded and sat down.
The queen said: "Sister Concubine De, you have been staying in your own bedroom these days, and you don't come out, just now while everyone is here, you can also follow us and have fun, don't keep bored." ”
Concubine De said with a rare smile: "Let the queen's sister bother, the concubine is fine, it's rare that everyone is here, and I must be happy today." ”
Concubine Xian said: "No, the children are almost here, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so let's have a good time." ”
Concubine De looked around for a week and found that only the Murong clan was missing, so she was a little unhappy and said, "What, Shen'er and Murong haven't arrived yet?" ”
Everyone was a little stunned and didn't know what to say.
At this time, the queen smiled: "It is estimated that something is delayed, it should be about to arrive, Sister Concubine De, don't worry, King Shen has always been filial, and he will definitely arrive, won't it be a while, Heng'er, You'er, aren't they still there yet." ”
Concubine De sighed and said: "That's because the children still have official business, and it makes sense that Shen'er is late, and this Murong clan doesn't know the rules too much." ”
Concubine Shu said: "Sister Concubine De, King Shen has always been inseparable from his princess, and this time I'm afraid it's also together, it's okay, let's talk about it first." ”
Concubine Xian also said: "Yes." ”
Concubine De sneered: "Is this Murong clan really??" Hey, forget it, don't mention it, so as not to spoil the fun. ”
was angry, and a report came from the palace gate: "King Heng, King Yong, King Ke, and Prince Zhe are here??????。 ”
As soon as the queen heard that this was bad, the children who were busy with official business had arrived, and the King Shen and Murong had not yet arrived, which was really a bit unspeakable.
Just as he was worried, a voice came from the door again: "Lord Shen, Princess Shen is here ????"
At this moment, everyone's attention in the hall was focused on the door, and the two most important people of this family banquet were here.
Several princes and King Shen and his wife greeted the queen and the four ladies present, but the queen politely excused herself, but Concubine De's face remained dark.
In the end, Concubine De is still angry with King Shen and his wife, she disobeyed her kindness before, but now she is late, don't you understand that she is slapping her Concubine De's face, when she thinks of this Concubine De, she can't help but say: "Shen'er, are you very busy these days?" ”
King Shen was stunned for a moment and said, "If you go back to your mother's concubine, these days are fine." ”
Concubine De smiled and said, "It's okay." That's not too busy, so what happened on the road today, why did it come so late, so many people waited. ”
Although Concubine De said with a smile. But no one could hear her displeasure, and everyone looked at King Shen with some concern.
King Shen said respectfully: "Mother, my son came late because he wanted medicine, please don't be surprised." Thank you for your understanding. ”
The queen couldn't look at it and said: "Yes, it's good to come, Sister Concubine De, you are really, if King Shen doesn't come, you will talk about it every day, and you will complain again when you come, the child's health has not been very good, everyone knows, isn't it said." It's because you need to take medicine, of course, your body is important, so don't be angry. ”
Concubine De smiled: "Hey, let the queen sister smile, don't you think that let so many people wait for the two of them, and I, the concubine, am a little unhappy." ”
The queen smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, this person is here, let's sit down and talk." ”
Thanks to the Queen. The atmosphere in this hall was not too embarrassing, Qi You took Qi Zhe to sit next to Princess Liu, Xibao happened to be on Qi You's right hand, and King Shen took Murong to sit behind Concubine De.
Just when you pass sideways. Concubine De glared at Murong Clan fiercely, and Murong Clan only glanced back at Concubine De lightly, and then sat down with Qi Shen.
Because the queen was so reconciled, everyone also took a look and talked to each other about these other things, but at this time, Xibao kept secretly looking at Concubine De and King Shen on the other side.
It can be seen. At this time, Concubine De was very unhappy, with a black face, even the corners of her eyes were full of anger, and she couldn't hide her anger like this, which showed that she did have a lot of dissatisfaction with King Shen and his wife.
And the prince Shen behind him was still a paler face than everyone else, and his frowning eyebrows and slightly pursed thin lips all hinted at his forbearance and distress.
And the Murong clan beside him did look light-hearted, not wronged or sad at all, even the corners of his eyes were faint, as if this matter had nothing to do with her at all, but did it mean that she was so angry that she cried that day, this was not visible at all.
Xibao felt strange in his heart, so he observed Murong Clan more carefully, Murong Clan just sat there quietly, with his hands in front of his legs, his arms leaning on the back of the chair casually, his eyes were empty, and his indifferent appearance was in stark contrast to the anger of Concubine De in front of him.
was strange, and suddenly felt that the hand on the table was tight, Xibao was startled, and quickly came back to his senses, it turned out that Qi You quietly held Xibao's hand.
Xibao was afraid of being seen, so he hurriedly struggled, but Qi You grabbed it tighter, and Xibao didn't know what to do.
As a result, Qi You had to lean over inch by inch, and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at, the master is by your side!" ”
Xibao glanced at Qi You embarrassedly, then lowered his head and did not speak.
Qi You smiled: "It's about the same, you dare to look at other people in front of you, it's really bold." ”
Being grabbed by Qi You was already very nervous, and when Qi You said this, Xibao was even more ashamed, and silently muttered in his heart: Master, master, who are we who are the guts, this is a big court, and you are not afraid of being seen.
Qi Youcai doesn't care so much, today is a family banquet, and there is no one else, everyone knows that a large part of the reason for this family banquet is for King Shen and his wife, and now everyone is paying attention to King Shen and them, and no one will pay attention to him.
Besides, the little girl looked at King Shen and his wife and Concubine De in a daze, but she was not afraid of others' considerations, this was too direct, I wanted to cough to remind her, who knew that this coughed a few times, even the fifth brother sitting on the side looked at it curiously, but this little girl followed as if she was confused, and she didn't react at all.
The fifth brother looked at him and then at Xibao, and then smiled unkindly.
Qi You was a little angry, this little girl is really, so his eyes stopped at Xibao's white and tender little hands on the table, and he grabbed it directly, this time it scared Xibao, but he came back to his senses.
Seeing the little girl's dazed look, Qi You teased her malicefully.
Sure enough, I saw Xibao blushing and disgusted at him, and stopped talking.
Qi You smiled with satisfaction as he held Xibao's little hand, which was not honestly drawing circles in Xibao's palm.
Xibao really hated this hateful man, and because of so many people, Xibao could only follow Qi You patiently. (To be continued.) )
