"Uh...... If there is nothing else, then I will go back to the Prince's Mansion first. With that, I smiled and got up to leave.

"Zhimo, don't worry, since the emperor is invited, then you can go with the palace." Empress Xiao said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Want me to come along?

"This ...... The emperor didn't invite me, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? ”

"It's okay, isn't there still a main palace? Let's go. "Empress Xiao didn't give me a chance to excuse myself again, so she took my hand and walked out of the hall.

When I came to the Imperial Garden, the emperor was already sitting at the table with several richly dressed princes, and after a glance, I found that Li Hanyan was actually among them, and his eyes happened to collide with me.

"The crown princess is here too?" The emperor sat on a high seat and looked at me with a smile on his face, as if he was a little surprised by my arrival.

I didn't know how to answer, but I just saluted him, and Empress Xiao opened her mouth to explain to the emperor: "The crown princess was chatting with the concubines in Kunning Palace just now, and I heard that the emperor was holding a banquet here, so I brought her with me. ”

At this time, except for Li Hanyan, several other princes all got up and saluted Empress Xiao: "Greetings to the queen mother, I have seen the crown princess." ”

There are a total of seven princes here, the one born to Queen Xiao is called her queen mother, and the other concubines are called her queen, only Li Hanyan sat there calmly, not looking at Queen Xiao from beginning to end, let alone getting up and saluting.

"Since you're here, let's take a seat." The emperor raised his hands and clapped his hands.

"Sit down, let's let go, don't let our sister-in-law feel constrained." A prince was full of energy, and at first glance he was an activist, and the atmosphere was suddenly eased by him.

This is a sixteen-year-old young man, his face is handsome and extraordinary, and his personality is also very lively, the atmosphere was mentioned by him, I also relaxed a lot, and the nerves that had been tense were finally relieved, and the corners of my mouth were unconsciously dyed with a smile, and I sat next to Li Hanyan.

"Hey, who's the one who just spoke?" I leaned into Li Hanyan's ear and whispered.

"Li Hao, the ninth prince." Li Hanyan drank the wine in the cup and glanced at me sideways: "Are you looking for the queen?" ”

"Huh? yes, what's wrong? I replied hesitantly.

Li Hanyan didn't speak, just stared at the jade cup in his hand, and his eyes flashed with a different kind of brilliance.

Why don't you speak?

Big brother, do you know that it's a terrible thing for you to suddenly stop talking like this?

I tugged at his cuffs and said with a look of grievance: "She said she wanted to see me, I can't refuse again and again, right?" ”

Li Hanyan didn't say anything, just grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into my mouth, telling me to shut up, and then added: "You talk too much." ”

…………

Think I'm talking too much? What's this kid's attitude?

Okay, it's okay if I don't talk, it's okay for me to eat, right? I gave him an angry look and took a big bite of that chicken leg!

Although I have already eaten lunch, I still can't resist the temptation of this large number of delicacies in front of me.

I don't know what the small porcelain in front of me is, but it smells quite fragrant, only the size of a palm, and it was drunk in three or two sips.

Unsatisfying.

I went to pick up the delicacies that were placed in front of me, what glutinous rice dumplings, soup dumplings, shredded meat rolls...... A whole lot, eating that is called a satisfaction.

It's actually good to be a mortal, and you can taste all kinds of food. (People in the fairy realm don't have to eat.) ）

Another dish of millet kueh was pushed forward, and I looked up and found that Li Hanyan, the kid, was looking at me with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing, feeding me like a pig, are you?" I gave him a white look, but my mouth and hands didn't stop, and I stuffed a millet cake into my mouth in one hand.

Well...... The meat filling slides through the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, coupled with the Q elastic slippery ~ tender kueh, it is simply a delicacy in the world!

The corners of Li Hanyan's mouth raised slightly, "You two Liao Wangfu often hungry you?" ”

I glanced up at him, it was the first time I had seen him smile without a hint of sarcasm, and it was the first time I noticed that he was so beautiful when he smiled like this, I didn't feel a little dazed.

Yes, he's very handsome, but he has an ice sculpture face to show to anyone all day long, so it's good-looking.

Just when I was "obsessed with beauty", the Seventh Prince suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect my sister-in-law's appetite to be so good, isn't it often hungry in the Prince's Mansion?" ”

After he said this, I noticed that the large pile of delicacies on the table had already been washed by me, and then looked at the other people's banquet tables, and found that the others ate very elegantly, basically chewing lightly, eating very slowly, and I seemed to be the only one who ate the seafood......

Looking at the empty cups and plates piled up in front of the table, Xiao Bai's face turned red all of a sudden.

Li Hanyan said coldly: "My prince's mansion is not so poor that there is no food to eat, although it is a little bland, but compared with the food in the imperial dining room of the palace, it is not bad." ”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at me again, "You're right?" ”

"Yes, the food in the Prince's Mansion is good." I quickly responded.

The food in the Prince's Mansion is indeed no worse than that in the Imperial Palace.

The queen also reprimanded the Seventh Prince, "Zhimo had an old illness yesterday, and now her body is still very weak, it is the time when she needs tonic, what's wrong with eating more?" As he spoke, he looked at me with a smile and said, "Zhimo, don't pay attention to him, just eat whatever you like." ”

"Hahaha, I think it's fake to be healed from a serious illness, but it's true that I'm tired after getting married, right? Sister-in-law. The Nine Emperor Princes, Li Hao, also got up and laughed.

At this time, the emperor had a calm face and scolded him: "Lao Jiu, you talk a lot, hurry up and sit back!" ”

Li Hao hurriedly smiled and confessed, and sat back in the seat.

The feast continued, but after all the fuss just now, I was still in the mood to eat, just holding my chin with my hands and staring there in a daze.

At this time, Li Hanyan's subtle voice came from his ears: "When did you come to the old disease?" Why couldn't you see it yesterday? ”

I gave him a blank look, lowered my voice, and responded, "Aren't I looking for an excuse not to see the queen?" Do you believe that? ”

Li Hanyan glanced at me with a smile, but in my opinion, he still seemed to be very unconvinced, I casually put the chopsticks in my mouth, and I was about to start the scare mode, but suddenly realized that this was the palace, the emperor, the queen and several princes were here, so I couldn't help but be presumptuous.

I hurriedly spit the chopsticks out of my mouth and reached out to catch them, but I didn't catch them with a "clang" sound...... Or did it fall to the ground......

This completely attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" I knew that I was out of shape, and hurriedly apologized, and at the same time bent down to get the chopsticks from under the table, and Su Mu behind me hurriedly pulled me back. (Chopsticks should not be picked up if they have fallen.) ）

Being pulled by her like this, I hurriedly got up again, but unexpectedly, with a "bang", I hit the edge of the table, and screamed "ouch hey".

"Hahahaha."

Several princes laughed at the same time, among which the ninth prince Li Hao had the loudest voice, and after discovering the emperor's reprimanding gaze, everyone closed their mouths in amusement, but the ridicule between the eyebrows could not be hidden.

Li Hanyan stretched out his hand and pulled me up, and when I sat down again, I found that his face was a little cold.

"yes, I'm sorry to disgrace you." I bowed my head and said timidly.

Just like just now, he casually grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into my mouth, telling me to shut up, and finally just said lightly: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

"Ahem, sister-in-law, our brothers have always spoken relatively straight, don't worry about us in general, you can eat as you like, don't say it's a drop of chopsticks, even if you drop the bowl, it's not a problem, at most, it's just to let the next person prepare a few more sets." Li Hao laughed again as he spoke.

Empress Xiao coughed heavily and glared at her son: "Hao'er, you are getting bigger and smaller!" ”

"The child is guilty." Li Hao just said perfunctorily.

This casual appearance is no different from those gentlemen, who say that they know that they are wrong, but as soon as they turn around, they are lawless sons and brothers, trampling the law under their feet, how do you know what is wrong and what is right?

Looking at his posture, I grind my teeth with hatred, and secretly clenched a pair of fists, and at any moment, on an impulse, I may rush up and make an uppercut in his face, so that he knows the temper of this princess!

As if seeing the unhappiness in my heart, Li Hanyan covered his palm on my clenched fist and said lightly: "Don't be rude." ”

His words were like magic, and I couldn't help but relax my fists, but I was still very unhappy in my heart, and I gritted my teeth and muttered: "I don't like this person!" ”

Li Hanyan chuckled, "I don't like it either, just treat it as a dog barking, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

After he said this, most of the anger in my heart disappeared, but after thinking about it, I thought about it for a long time, and muttered: "He is a dog, what is the emperor?" You are all the emperor's sons, so ...... Isn't that ......? ”

Li Hanyan suddenly had a black line on his face, grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into my mouth again, still the same sentence, "You talk too much." ”

"I heard that the crown princess is a talented girl who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why don't you improvise a poem now, so that I can open my eyes, how about it?" One of the princes spoke.

"Hmm...... I have also heard of Zhimo's talent, and I don't know how to learn, I just care about having fun, so it is better to write a poem and let them see what the gap is between themselves and a woman. The emperor nodded, took the handkerchief handed by the palace maid and wiped the corners of his mouth, then looked at Li Hanyan: "What do you think?" ”

Li Hanyan didn't have any mood fluctuations on his face, and replied briefly: "You can do it yourself." ”

Speaking of this, even the fourth prince, Li Xiaohe, who has always been silent, echoed: "Erchen was fortunate to read the poems of the crown princess in the folk in his early years, which is lyrical and elegant, and has a unique style of its own. ”

The fifth prince, Li Wen, also praised again and again, and even recited a poem by Xue Zhimo that circulated in the market in her early years, and won a high reputation from the emperor and queen.

Even I think those poems are very well written, which makes people feel like they are in the situation, and it also makes me have a new understanding of Xue Zhimo, who I have never seen before.
