Chapter 2 The Banquet

The celebrant continued to read out the list.

"Concubine Liu Chulian presents ......" Before the eunuch finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor, "Concubine Liu Chulian doesn't need to report." As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three women in the second row on the left were all gloomy. Let's finish reporting Mother Liu. The fourth princess interjected, the little eunuch glanced at the emperor, saw the emperor nodded, and hurriedly responded, and continued to report, "Concubine Liu Chulian gave a bunch of newly picked holy lotus." "Don't give these things away in the future." The emperor said expressionlessly to the weak but incomparably beautiful woman. The woman's face suddenly turned pale as paper, and she nodded, her weak body as if she was about to fall at any moment.

"Mother Liu, Li'er likes your congratulatory gift very much." The fourth princess showed a faint smile, Liu Chulian stabilized her body, and also smiled back, the concubines Shen Pianpian and Liang Ruxian beside her looked at her with envy, and whispered in a low voice: "You can make the fourth princess call you your mother, you are really amazing." Liu Chulian just smiled, but did not reply.

"Li'er, I've said it many times, you don't need to call the concubine your mother." Gong Xuanqi whispered to Gong Hanli with a slight dissatisfaction. "Father, there should still be etiquette, not to mention that it is Concubine Liu. It's ......" Seeing her father's displeased expression, she still stopped.

"The eldest son of the emperor, a string of sapphire Yingluo." The voice of the eunuch sounded again in due time. The first place on the right is the emperor's womb.

"The second son of the emperor, a pair of exquisite jade pendants." On the right side, it is the second palace of the emperor, and if you look closely, you can see that she has a seven-point similar appearance to the king, and the queen and the emperor smiled at him at the same time. He is a prince who is deeply loved by his parents.

"The third son of the emperor, a pair of gold-inlaid Ziying pendants." The third on the right, the third palace translator smiled heartily and said: "Second brother, you are really, how can you also have earrings with the fourth sister, oops, fourth sister, the third brother of the Ming Dynasty will be with you alone, don't be like others!" The fourth daughter of the emperor said with a smile, "Thank you third brother, Li'er is waiting for your gift from Ming'er."

"The fifth son of the emperor, Shangluan Fenghua is a pair." The fourth place on the left, the fifth palace of the emperor Hu Ling, is an extremely cute young man, his eyes are like that of Concubine Rou Shu, and he has the charm of a captivating city. "

"Oh. What else? The fourth princess showed a very bright smile and asked, for this fifth emperor brother, she is very fond of her.

"Fourth Emperor Sister, can I hand it over to you personally? The young man opened his mouth shyly, not daring to look directly at his sister.

"Ling'er, don't be rude to your imperial sister." Gong Xuan said like a stern father."It's okay, father, Ling'er, come up." She smiled and said to him.

The boy smiled as if he had received a great treasure. hurriedly stepped forward with something in his hand and ran to the seat of the fourth queen. Then, reaching out to him, there was a gorgeous golden silk treasure box. She asked, "Imperial sister, open it and take a look!" "Okay."

As she spoke, she reached out and opened the box, only to see a wooden statue lying quietly inside. When he reached out and took a closer look, he found that the face of this statue was seven or eight points similar to his own. She asked in surprise: "This is the royal brother, you carved it with your own sister?" "

The young man blushed, shy but extremely proud, and said, "Yes! I've been preparing for a whole year, and I've been preparing since the last time my sister had her birthday! "

Gong Hanli's heart warmed, and he said with a smile, "The imperial sister will take it carefully, you go down first, and Ming'er will remember to come to Guanju Palace." "Yes, imperial sister!" The boy reeled with great joy. The imperial sister only called herself to her bedroom, and the hard work of this year was worth it!

"Fourth sister, do you like these wood carvings of Shilaozi? The third brother rushed to Ming'er to send you a box! The third son of the emperor was extremely dissatisfied to see that the fifth son of the emperor had won the favor of the fourth daughter.

"Third brother, you don't understand, this is what the Fifth Emperor Brother thinks and thinks, engraved with his own hands, of course I, who is a sister, am moved, your box, it's not as good as Ling'er's! "

For a while, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively, and after a long period of noise, a gesture from the emperor was all quiet. Only the celebrant continued.

"The sixth son of the emperor, the top jade step on the top of the flower." The fifth place on the right side.The sixth emperor palace sat lightly on the seat, but his expression was shrouded in an inexplicable brilliance, reporting his name, and did not raise his head to look at the fourth emperor.Her gaze locked on him tightly, stayed for a moment, and then moved away.The moment she shifted her gaze, he quickly glanced at her, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
