Chapter 126: Family Banquet Turmoil (1)
Concubine Ping's eyes lit up when she saw Si Lan Jue dressed like this, this is her daughter, she should have been so exquisite.
Concubine Ping pulled Si Lanjue to sit beside her, and the faint fragrance of rouge made Concubine Ping feel particularly good.
"Okay, my Lan'er has finally grown up." Holding Si Lanjue's hand tightly, Concubine Ping's tears fell unconsciously. This is crying with joy, this scene has probably been looking forward to it for more than ten years.
Si Lan Jue also held Concubine Ping tightly, "Rest assured, from now on, Lan'er will always be by your side." ”
Liu Shihua looked at the mother and daughter so happy, and she was unconsciously moved.
At noon the next day, according to the emperor's will, the queen set up a family banquet in the palace to celebrate the reunion of the emperor and Princess Lan.
Although it is a family banquet, there are not so many royal people in this Jinling City, and if only a few people attend the banquet, it will look extremely cold. Considering this, the queen also specially invited some people close to the royal family to accompany her, including Gu Ranchen and An Jia.
Silan is definitely the protagonist of this banquet, and Concubine Ping went to the queen's palace early, firstly to attend the banquet, and secondly, to thank the queen for the gift she gave yesterday.
The reason why the emperor and Silan Jue were able to recognize each other was because of Liu Shihua's contributions, so the queen specially invited Liu Shihua alone.
Sitting in the main hall, everyone greeted Si Lan with cold and warmth, although it was just out of courtesy, but it was extremely lively.
Silan is by no means sociable, and she doesn't understand these cumbersome rules in the palace, so she can only respond to them. It's that Concubine Ping has been helping her entertain the people present.
"The emperor has arrived." With the little eunuch's shrill message, the emperor appeared in the main hall wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Everyone present knelt down to give salutes, and the mountains shouted long live.
This is a very common scene in the palace, but Si Lan Jue is extremely uncomfortable, his eyes are dull and he greets everyone, but his heart is chaotic, and he can't tell what it feels like.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Judging from his face, the emperor was extremely happy. As he spoke. Take a seat on one side.
Without the emperor's orders, everyone did not dare to sit down, and stood with their hands hanging down in their seats.
The emperor beckoned to Si Lan, "Lan'er." Come on. Come to my father. ”
Si Lan Jue looked up at the emperor who was so high up and talked to him so kindly. Feeling very unfamiliar, she looked at the emperor sluggishly, but her footsteps did not move a bit.
Concubine Ping touched Si Lanjue. reminded, "Lan'er, the emperor let you go." ”
"Oh." Probably frightened by this meeting, or maybe there was no way to accept that she had another father who was the emperor, Silan Jue had always been absent-minded, she answered softly, and walked to the emperor's side.
The emperor took Si Lanjue's hand and asked her to sit down beside her, but Silanjue didn't say a word, and sat down mechanically.
Such indifference made the emperor nervous for a while, and he didn't know how to get along with this daughter in his heart, after all, just yesterday, he almost ordered to kill this child.
"Let's all sit down, today is a family banquet, so you don't have to be so stubborn." The emperor spoke, and everyone sat down one after another.
"The concubine congratulates the emperor and the princess on their reunion, this is a happy event for Dayan, and the concubine respects the emperor and the princess with a cup." The queen was the first to stand up and toast.
The emperor smiled from ear to ear and nodded again and again, "Okay, okay." I didn't expect that Concubine Ping would actually give birth to such a peugeot daughter for me, and to be able to reunite, this is really with the help of the heavens. ”
After drinking this glass of wine, the emperor's heart also became warm.
"Lan'er, if you need anything, just tell the queen, when you first arrive at the palace, you may be a little uncomfortable, but you will get used to it slowly, you have to remember that this is your home." The emperor tilted his head sideways and said to Si Lanjue beside him.
"Well, Lan'er knows, Emperor Xie, Queen Xie." Silan replied dumbfoundedly.
These two titles were spoken, but everyone present was shocked, especially Concubine Ping, before going out, she told her thousands of instructions to make Silan absolutely call her father, but she didn't expect that on this occasion, she still refused to change her words.
"Your Majesty? Empress? Didn't Princess Lan think there was something wrong? "The emperor didn't say anything, and everyone didn't plan to say anything, anyway, it's good to coax the emperor to be happy, the emperor wants to spoil this daughter, no matter what the name is, the emperor is happy, why bother to debunk this matter and make the emperor and Silan lose face. But this speaker just had the intention of embarrassing Si Lan, and everyone followed the sound to see that the person who spoke was Murong Sheng.
Yesterday, after Si Lanjue's identity was confirmed by Desheng, Hui Guifei's conspiracy was also exposed, and the emperor was furious, and immediately ordered Hui Guifei to be placed under house arrest in Cuihua Palace, waiting to be released after returning to Beijing.
This disaster clearly fell from the sky, and after many years, another princess appeared in a good manner, how could Concubine Hui not feel breathless in her heart.
Concubine Hui was implicated, and Murong Sheng naturally had no good impression of Si Lanjue.
Today's family banquet, when preparing for the queen, she was worried that Murong Sheng would make trouble, but he was the prince, although Concubine Hui was convicted, Murong Sheng was not implicated, if he was not invited, it would be unreasonable. As expected, Murong Sheng finally seized this opportunity and questioned Si Lanjue in public.
"Sheng'er, don't be rude." Murong Sheng's question, the queen obviously felt that the emperor's face was a little wrong, and in order to maintain this harmonious atmosphere, the queen hurriedly reprimanded.
Unexpectedly, Murong Sheng didn't care about the queen's words, he sneered a few times, "I didn't expect the queen to be so generous, the retainer remembers that the harem has harem rules, and the queen is a person who knows etiquette and teaches the law, don't you think this title that does not distinguish between the elder and the young is a little inappropriate?" ”
Murong Sheng's question, the queen couldn't think of any words for a while, after all, he was right, in the harem, it was a big sin to use the wrong title.
"Lan'er has just entered the palace, and she is not yet used to the rules of the palace, and the palace will teach herself." Concubine Ping was worried that the matter would not end, so she hurriedly added.
"Please forgive the emperor, the concubine promises, Lan'er will slowly adapt."
"Getting used to it? Yes, I'm used to staying in the rivers and lakes, but I suddenly got to the palace, how can I adapt to it? However, Erchen would like to ask Concubine Ping, how long do you think it will take for Princess Lan to adapt to life in the palace? One month? A year? I still can't adapt to it for the rest of my life. Murong Sheng was not to be outdone, he made it clear that he wanted to give Concubine Hui a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
