Chapter 118: Mansion Banquet
Aunt Su Jin's people found out that a few days ago, the palace maid Shuqin of Penglai Pavilion went out of the palace, and her whereabouts were mysterious, but she finally stopped at the mansion, and I heard that someone saw the palace maid Shuqin handing a secret letter to the king of Zhennan, as for what was inside, who knows?
The crown princess suddenly sneered and said, "Now that her handle has fallen into the hands of this palace, this palace wants to see what she wants to say!" ”
Aunt Su Jin hurriedly said, "Niangniang needs to calm down, although we have evidence in our hands, but Ning Liuying is such a cunning person, I think Niangniang also knows, if we startle the snake at this time, it will be even more difficult for us to collect evidence at that time." ”
The crown princess also felt that Aunt Su Jin was right, "That's it, then wait for two days to see, the palace has acquiesced to her serving by His Royal Highness the Prince's side, how can she afford to wait for other things!" ”
"The slave will secretly help Niangniang watch Ning Liuying, and she will not let Niangniang be calculated."
The crown princess said to Aunt Su Jin gratefully, "Auntie, if you weren't by your side in this palace, there are some things that this palace can't handle, thank you." ”
Aunt Su Jin said humbly, "It is Su Jin's blessing to do things for her mother, why do you say this, but you are tormenting the slave." ”
The seventh day of the seventh month of July is a good day, I heard that the king of Zhennan is going to leave the Zhou kingdom in a few days, during this time, the officials of the Zhou kingdom have been communicating with the king of Zhennan every day, although it is for the two countries, but speaking of which, they have never seen a more casual person than the king of Zhennan.
Now that the king of Zhennan is leaving, several officials in the court proposed to hold a banquet for the king of Zhennan, and all the ministers felt that it was feasible, so this matter was in everyone's plan.
Yuan Chufeng, who is the protagonist, is like a nobody, sipping tea in the study, and Xuan Ling on the side said helplessly, "Lord Wang, you are leisurely here, we are going to be busy outside!" ”
Yuan Chufeng raised his eyes and said indifferently, "It's good to leave this matter to someone else, why do you have to do it yourself?" ”
Xuan Ling shook his head, "This banquet is not ordinary, although it is practiced for the prince, but there is no accident, the prince may not know about it, but his subordinates have always been very careful in doing things." ”
Xuan Ling said vigilantly, all the people who came today were famous people from the Zhou Kingdom, and if something happened at the banquet, they would not be the ones who were responsible.
"There's no need to make such a fuss, if you come, you can be safe, if someone is thinking about it, you can't hide."
Yuan Chufeng got up and changed his clothes, Xuan Ling suddenly remembered something, and said with a headache, "Lord Wang, Princess Yongning is here again, saying that the prince has avoided her for the past few days, and today he wants the prince to make amends!" ”
Princess Yongning has been looking for excuses to get close to Yuan Chufeng since the banquet in Shangshu Mansion, but what kind of character is King Zhennan, he is most afraid of trouble, although Princess Yongning is the daughter of King Zhou in the palm of his hand, but he doesn't like it, and everything will be useless.
"It seems that you can't do your errand now, and it was not very easy to help this king block peach blossoms in the past, why is it that you are dragging your feet now? No matter what trick you use today, be sure to let Princess Yongning not get close to this king. ”
Although Princess Yongning has a backer behind her, she is too stupid, such a woman can only die in the backyard of Houfu without a place to be buried.
Xuan Ling wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly said, "My subordinates will go down to send Princess Yongning away, and please don't blame your subordinates." ”
Xuan Ling said so, and Yuan Chufeng naturally didn't blame it.
"Be vigilant today, you go to the hall first to entertain everyone, and this king will come later." Yuan Chufeng raised his eyes and said coldly.
Xuan Ling nodded, "No." ”
After Xuan Ling left, his ears were finally cleared, and after changing his clothes, he stepped out of the study.
Ning Liuying came out of the East Palace at noon, Shuqin dressed her up carefully today, her originally beautiful face was even more radiant at this time, the prince waited for a long time and finally waited for Liuying to appear, he sighed, "It's really not in vain, you are so good-looking, concubine." ”
Ning Liuying chuckled gently, "Your Highness said that you are laughing, Liuying is just a willow posture, don't lose Your Highness's face." ”
The crown prince happily took Ning Liuying's hand and got into the carriage, Liuying looked at the carriage that was not extra around, and asked a little puzzled, "Your Highness, where is the crown princess, why is she not here today?" ”
The guard Feiyun explained, "The crown princess is unwell, so she recuperates in the Qingluan Palace, and today only the side concubine Niangniang accompanies the prince?" ”
"I see." Ning Liuying was a little uneasy, and always felt that the truth of this matter was to be discussed, "If the crown princess didn't go, it would be better for me to stay and take care of her, otherwise it would be a little unruly, right?" ”
The prince is very satisfied, in the end, he is the person around him, and he speaks and does things very properly.
"No need, your task is to accompany the palace, you have a heart for the princess, but there are many servants in Qingluan Palace, you are the side concubine of the palace, not a servant, so you don't have to worry about this matter."
"Yes, slave understands." Ning Liuying breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood seemed to be much better, but what the prince didn't know was that Liuying was still very nervous in her heart.
By the time the two arrived, there were already a lot of people in the mansion, and even the lady of Shangshufu had come, and Liuying felt inexplicably cordial to her, and wanted to say hello.
The prince said with some displeasure, "Liuying, stay away from Mrs. Shangshu in the future." ”
Liuying asked puzzledly, "What does Your Highness mean by this?" I wonder what Mrs. Shangshu did? ”
The crown prince stroked Liuying's simple and clean cheeks, and then said, "She really didn't do anything, it's just that he was born in Qinglou, and no one in the royal family can put it in his eyes, you are the side concubine of this palace, you should pay special attention to this, you know?" ”
Although the warbler was reluctant, he could only say at this time, "Yes, Your Highness, the warbler knows." ”
It seems that the prince is disgusted with Mrs. Yanran's birth, but Liuying is a little envious of her, even if Lord Shangshu is old, but he only has Mrs. Shangshu in his heart, and he doesn't care about her identity, he gave her the identity of his wife, and kept her by his side despite public opinion.
Liuying obediently followed the prince to the main hall, the king of Zhennan on the main seat was entertaining guests, after Liuying appeared, his eyes stayed for a moment, quickly looked away, and turned to talk with the minister on the side with a smile.
The prince was also dragged to speak, Liuying could only find a place by himself and sit down at random, Shuqin followed Liuying's side, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the crown princess didn't come tonight, we are safe." ”
