Prince Xuan and Long Zening watched the conversation and interaction between Xiahou Yan and Bingchen on the side, and they couldn't help frowning. I want to suspect something, but I find that I can't doubt it.

After the feast began, the sound of silk and bamboo rose melodiously, and the graceful dancing girls also floated in.

Jian Ning had a veil on her face, and it was a little inconvenient whether she was drinking or eating. But because Brother Wang didn't say that she could take off the veil, she could only drink as little as possible and eat less.

During the banquet, most of the things they talked about were economic exchanges and diplomatic relations, and Jian Ning didn't understand it very well, so she didn't listen carefully.

But her eyes always looked in the direction of Long Zeye from time to time, and sometimes even she didn't understand why she was so uncontrollable?

Just as she was looking at it again, the Empress Dowager suddenly said something that immediately put her in an embarrassing situation: "Princess Bingning, do you think there is anything wrong with the emperor?" Why do you always look in the direction of the emperor? ”

As soon as the Empress Dowager spoke, there was a sudden silence on the printing platform, and everyone's eyes looked at her.

Jian Ning instantly felt that her face was a little hot, if there was no veil to cover it, she would definitely be able to see her red face.

"The Empress Dowager misunderstood. Bing Ning is just a little strange, why is the queen's position empty? But is the phoenix body unsafe? Jian Ning's question was just helplessness in helplessness, she couldn't really admit that she was watching the emperor get distracted.

As soon as Jian Ning's words came out, the ministers below didn't react much, because the queen rarely appeared in front of people. But the Empress Dowager and Long Zeye and the others, their faces suddenly changed slightly.

Jian Ning vaguely noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly looked down at Bingchen, as if asking with her eyes, "Is it wrong for you to ask like this?" ”

"The queen has indeed been in poor health lately. It is inconvenient to meet guests, and if there is any neglect, please forgive the princess. Long Zeye spoke, but there was no trace of emotion in his tone.

"No, no, no, it's the ice that freezes suddenly. Please also ask for the Emperor's forgiveness. Bing Ning hurriedly spoke.

"Look at the princess has been hiding her face with a light veil. I guess there is no marriage contract yet, right? The Empress Dowager opened her mouth again, and once again put Jian Ning in the most eye-catching position.

At this time, Bingchen stood up appropriately and said to the Empress Dowager: "Sister Ling is innocent by nature and loves freedom. So we don't want to marry our little sister casually. ”

"Oh, that's what the mourners mean." The Empress Dowager looked at Jian Ning with a smile, and then said, "Since Binglan intends to befriend my Yuan Chu. It is better to make peace between the two countries. ”

"If the princess is willing to enter the palace to accompany her, although there is no queen's position. But it must also be the position of the imperial concubine under one person and above ten thousand people. If you don't want to enter the palace, King Xiang of my country still lacks a virtuous and virtuous princess. Naturally, if the princess is not satisfied, I will be full of civil and military affairs. Among the emperors and grandchildren, there are also outstanding people. ”

Jian Ning was overwhelmed by this sudden question. She can't even remember her past now, how can she talk about marriage? If you have been married or have a marriage contract. Wouldn't that be the end of the story? Besides, he has no intention of marrying at all.

Fortunately, Bingchen knew her very well, and almost immediately replied with a slight apology: "The Empress Dowager is in love." Ling Mei has always been arrogant, and I said it just now, Ling Mei loves freedom, and I think she wants to disappoint the Queen Mother. ”

Although Bingchen's words did not have an obvious intention of refusal, everyone understood that this could be regarded as a rejection of the Empress Dowager and her relatives.

The Empress Dowager naturally didn't look bored with herself, and then said: "It seems that the mourning family doesn't have that blessing to have an extra granddaughter-in-law." ”

When the Empress Dowager's words fell, Bingchen immediately pulled Jian Ning to raise her glass and said, "The Empress Dowager loves Sister Ling so wrongly, and it is also an honor for Sister Ling. ”

After a few glasses of wine, the song and dance sounded again. But Jian Ning really didn't dare to look at Long Zeye anymore, for fear that something would happen.

But Xiahou Yan on the side was really staring deeply at this woman. She had just spoken in a voice like the woman he had been searching for, but he could see it clearly, and her eyes were full of strangeness to him. It was an absolutely simple strangeness, not a disguise.

Looking at her who was so close to herself, Xia Houyan really wanted to impulsively go up and tear off the veil on her face for a moment. But reason sues him, absolutely not!

The song and dance ended again, and Jian Ning suddenly felt a little bored, but she couldn't talk to the little pearl behind her, and she couldn't leave. I couldn't help but be a little depressed for a while, and I drank all the wine in the cup in a little sluggish.

At this moment, a melodious flute slowly floated in, which was intoxicating. Jian Ning looked up, but saw that the dancing girl had changed her dance and was dancing there, and there was no one to play the flute at all.

Except for Jian Ning, many people heard the sound of the flute.

Long Zeye couldn't help but ask Fan Chengfu on the side: "Go and see who is playing the flute." ”

When Fan Chengfu heard this, he immediately waved his hand and sent two little eunuchs down to find out.

Soon, the two little eunuchs came back and whispered a few words in Fan Chengfu's ear. Fan Chengfu then waved his hand and motioned for them to retreat. He quickly walked back to Long Zeye's side and replied: "Back to the emperor, it is Concubine Yi who plays the flute in the imperial garden." ”

"Ning'er? Why didn't she rest in the temple of eternal peace? Long Zeye's brows furrowed immediately when he heard this, he almost didn't notice the face of the Empress Dowager, and immediately opened his mouth and ordered, "Go and bring Ning'er here." ”

Although Long Zeye was not good at music, it was not that he couldn't understand the meaning of the flute. It was a lonely and sad flute sound. Is Ning'er blaming him for not bringing her with him tonight?

"Your Majesty, if you insist on letting that woman come, then the mourning family will have to leave." The Empress Dowager whispered beside Long Zeye.

"Grandmother Huang, why do you bother?" Long Zeye's face was slightly helpless.

"Since you said that, you still chose to let her come?" The Empress Dowager got up as she spoke, and said in a small voice to everyone, "The mourning family is a little tired, so I will not accompany you." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation. Concubine Rou on the side also stood up immediately, owed to the emperor, and hurriedly followed the queen mother away.

Not long after the Empress Dowager left, a woman slowly walked out of the rockery in the imperial garden, and she was playing the flute at the moment.

But when Jian Ning's gaze touched that face, the wine glass in his hand fell in response, and the whole person almost screamed in surprise. R580
