141. Chapter 139
Wen Xiaomiao's eyes couldn't help but still follow Cheng Mu'an's white figure, lingering, only to see what he said in Liu Kuo's ear, Liu Kuo lazily raised his eyes and looked at her, he couldn't see what Cheng Mu'an was saying, Wen Xiaomiao's intuition should be related to her, and then he saw Cheng Mu'an walking towards her calmly and powerfully.
The originally bustling hall was much quieter, especially the ladies who were chattering just now, they immediately closed their mouths and looked at Cheng Mu'an.
Wen Xiaomiao could feel the burning eyes around her looking at her, so that she lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at Cheng Mu'an.
Cheng Mu'an came to the table, first met Old Man Gu, Old Master Gu and Mrs. Gu, and thanked them for taking care of Wen Xiaomiao for so long.
Old Man Gu stroked his beard and said to Cheng Muan with a smile: "I looked away last time, but I didn't expect you kid to be very discerning." ”
"Grandpa Gu, it's over." Cheng Mu'an said modestly, he glanced at Wen Xiaomiao, and then said: "I plan to take Miao Miao to the banquet table over there first, Grandpa Gu, I'll come back to toast you later." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Gu Haojun's table.
"Go, go, young people are lively together, how boring it is to stay with us." Mrs. Gu said with a smile, patted Wen Xiaomiao lightly with her hand, and motioned for her to follow Cheng Mu'an.
"I, I'm pretty good here." Wen Xiaomiao said loudly, she hasn't fully adapted to Cheng Mu'an with this appearance, and she feels a little alienated.
Cheng Muan looked at Wen Xiaomiao with a soft face, and her two thick eyebrows also rippled softly.
Wen Xiaomiao's face turned red again.
Looking at Cheng Mu'an like this, she really couldn't say the words to refuse, so she could only get up and walk behind Cheng Mu'an to their table.
There were whispers from all around, Wen Xiaomiao looked at her nose and nose, and followed Cheng Mu'an without distraction.
When she arrived at the banquet table, Wen Xiaomiao first met with the crown prince Liu Kuo and the crown princess, as well as Zhao Liangdi, and then sat down on the vacant seat next to Cheng Muan.
Gu Haojun immediately leaned next to Wen Xiaomiao from the other side, a little closer, and whispered with a smile: "Hey, Xiao Miaomiao, I really didn't see it, you are quite good at dressing up, and you look good when you dress up." ”
"No, where will I be, it's all Sister Gu's help." Wen Xiaomiao looked at Gu Haojun, a little embarrassed, and waved her hand again and again to quickly explain.
Cheng Mu'an glanced at the two of them, and reached out from under the table to pull Wen Xiaomiao closer to his side, asking her to stay away from Gu Haojun.
"Don't get too close to him." Cheng Mu'an said in a small voice, but it was enough for Gu Haojun to hear it, and everyone in the hall was watching.
"Yo, Lao Cheng is jealous." Gu Haojun said to the crown prince Liu Kuo with a smile.
"Jealous? Where did you see that Mu An was jealous, besides, you weren't his opponent at all, could you use it? Anyone can see that Miss Wen is desperate for Mu An. Liu Kuo's words really don't give Gu Haojun face.
Zhao Liangdi covered her sleeves and smiled beside Liu Kuo, she and Gu Shuting were good sisters before she got married, and she was also familiar with Gu Haojun, and they had no scruples about each other.
Gu Haojun scratched his head and stepped aside.
Wen Xiaomiao was a little sympathetic to Gu Haojun, in front of so many people, she was ridiculed and ridiculed, she didn't understand the mode of getting along between them, so she wanted to comfort her.
Cheng Mu'an saw her thoughts, grabbed Wen Xiaomiao's Rouyi, and said in a low voice that only she could hear: "Don't move, I haven't seen you for a long time, let me hold it for a while." ”
Wen Xiaomiao looked sideways at Cheng Mu'an's face in surprise, this is not like something he can say, you must know that Cheng Mu'an has never been good at sweet words.
A long message rang out, "The emperor and queen have arrived." ”
Everyone knelt down in unison to say goodbye, "Long live my emperor, long live my mother, long live." ”
"Let's settle down, invite the Zhongqing's family and his wife today, it can be regarded as a family banquet," the emperor and the queen sat down, followed by several princes and princesses, all of whom sat down one by one, and the emperor continued: "The border victory is great, the rebellion has subsided, and now it can finally be called the peace of the country and the people. ”
"The ministers are ashamed and dare not be, my emperor is wise." How dare the ministers take credit, and they all knelt on the ground again.
"Let's get up, sit down, I said, today is a family banquet, let's be casual, don't want the usual red tape, after eating, the Zhongqing family can also go to the back garden to play." The emperor said.
"Your Majesty." And they all sat down.
The emperor looked at Cheng Mu'an, everyone looked at this situation, and the next words were probably related to the Cheng family, only to hear the emperor say: "General Cheng defended his family and defended the country, but his family was framed by traitors and ended up so miserable, I was sad in my heart, Qin Yaozong deceived his superiors and subordinates, collaborated with the enemy and treason, and deserved death, and now he is detained in the prison, and will be beheaded after the autumn, Cheng Mu'an," the emperor paused.
Cheng Muan immediately walked out from behind the table, came to the open space in front of the emperor, knelt down on his knees, and replied loudly: "My subordinates are here." ”
"Listen to the commandment, I restore the name of General Cheng Zhenyuan, posthumously seal the Duke of Wei, and call him Wumu, this great victory in the frontier, you are indispensable, I will give you the title of Governor from the first land route, take office tomorrow, the Cheng Mansion will be unsealed, returned to the Cheng family, and announce to the world on a certain day, the holy decree, official seal and office documents will be sent to the Cheng Mansion tomorrow." The emperor said.
"Minister's decree, Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live." Cheng Muan kowtowed and thanked him and retreated.
Cheng Mu'an looked relatively calm when she returned to her seat, but she was very excited to see Wen Xiaomiao below, she looked at Cheng Mu'an excitedly, the Cheng family was finally rehabilitated, and they also had their own home.
The chief manager of the red man next to the emperor saw that it was almost over, so he signaled to the maids below to serve the food.
The banquet was lively and harmonious, the singing and dancing were leveled, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, because it was the nature of the family banquet, the banquet was staggered, the words were happy, and the joy was harmonious.
Liu Kuo, Cheng Mu'an and Gu Haojun chatted while eating, after everyone toasted to the emperor, people came over from time to time to toast the prince and princess, and by the way, I also congratulated Cheng Mu'an, General Cheng had taken care of Cheng Mu'an when he was alive, General Cheng's point of view is that the greater the power, the greater the ability, but at that time, Cheng Mu'an did not have a prominent record, and it was not easy to be promoted.
Wen Xiaomiao ate unhurriedly, she quietly and carefully observed how the crown princess and Zhao Liangdi were doing, she had to learn carefully, she was afraid of making jokes and embarrassing Cheng Muan.
After a while, Cheng Muan picked up his wine glass and motioned for Wen Xiaomiao to follow him, and the two of them came to the table in the Gu Mansion together.
"Grandpa Gu, Miao Miao and I will toast you." Cheng Mu'an drank it all and showed the cup with his backhand.
Old Man Gu picked up the wine glass and took a sip of it, and said: "Boy, the Cheng family will rely on you in the future, don't let the old man down, and besides, this glass of wine is not rare, now I am waiting for the glass of wine that you married the little doll." After Old Man Gu finished speaking, Ha Lu Ha Da looked at Wen Xiaomiao with a smile, this little doll was embarrassed again.
"Don't worry, I know what to do, as for the wine, it's fast, and you can drink it next year." Cheng Mu'an said casually, and Wen Xiaomiao blushed when she heard it.
From time to time, there are princes composing poems, dancing swords, princesses playing the piano, dancing, etc., and several ladies are also fully showing their talents under such a rare opportunity.
Wen Xiaomiao always felt as if something was not right, and after the last, she finally found the crux of the problem, Princess Taishun on the seat next to the queen always looked at her with disgust, which was even more obvious than when she was in the prince's mansion, and she could even be described as looking at her viciously.
Wen Xiaomiao found that Princess Taishun's eyes when she looked at Cheng Mu'an were obviously different, and she recognized that look, just like Sha Yima saw Jiang Tianlei.
Regarding the performance of the princess, Wen Xiaomiao felt that it was a reasonable thing.
I don't know when, Zhao Liangdi sat down next to Wen Xiaomiao, and she asked, "Miss Wen, are you ready to eat?" Let's go to the back garden for a walk, the opportunity is rare, most people may not have the opportunity to go to the back garden of the palace in this life. ”
To be honest, Wen Xiaomiao was also very curious, she had seen the plum garden in Chengfu and the lotus pond in Gufu, she wanted to know what the back garden in the palace looked like, whether it was better, she couldn't imagine it.
Wen Xiaomiao said to Cheng Mu'an, Cheng Mu'an looked at Zhao Liangdi and said: "Miao Miao has just arrived, and she is used to being free, she doesn't understand many rules in the palace, and she asks Zhao Liangdi to help and take care of her." ”
Zhao Liangdi smiled and said to Liu Kuo: "Your Highness, your brother is really different from before." ”
"What's different?" Liu Kuo said.
"It's not as cold as it used to be." Zhao Liangdi said, and then said to Cheng Muan: "Don't worry, it's indispensable to have an arm and a leg." After speaking, he pulled Wen Xiaomiao and left.
Zhao Liangdi's waist is like a willow in the wind, Wen Xiaomiao thinks that she really looks good when she walks.
Along the way, I met a lot of people who walked in the back garden, most of them were women.
After watching the song and dance, the meal is almost eaten, and it can't be like the men who are staggered, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the women like the parents very much, and the back garden is naturally the best place to go.
Zhao Liangdi is obviously familiar with the road here, and it is no problem to touch the dark.
The main places in the back garden are lit with hundred-year-old pine oil torches, and they are lit everywhere, but Zhao Liangdi doesn't want to go to a place where there are too many people, so she ordered a little maid to carry a windproof lamp to follow her.
Wen Xiaomiao now understands the wealth of the royal family, even if it wants to be elegant, it doesn't have that chance, it is brilliant and brilliant everywhere, it mainly pays attention to a big one, which makes people be shocked at first sight.
