After a small episode, the banquet returned to normal, and no one spoke. The queen's personal maid said while pouring tea for the queen: "It is very rare for the slave maid to see that the mother cares about such a woman, and she does not hesitate to provoke those rich young ladies to take the initiative to help her speak." ”

The queen said: "In the end, those rich ladies have done it, they thought that the palace couldn't hear the hurtful words they said, and they thought it would be enough to say a few words, but they didn't expect to keep talking and disturb the ears of the palace." ”

The queen took a sip of hot tea, which was the best Longjing tea, and the fragrance of her lips and teeth made her feel a little happier. Her eyes turned to look in Chi Wan's direction from a distance, and said, "This kid too, she doesn't resist or say anything when others say that, just take care of herself, this palace appreciates her temperament." ”

The maid smiled, thinking that this Chi Wan was also lucky, her mother did prefer such a quiet woman, just like Concubine An.

If you say too much, you will lose, when to say it and when not to say it, this Chi Wan is very clear.

More than ten minutes passed quietly, and I heard the eunuch at the door report: "The emperor has arrived, the prince has arrived!" ”

Everyone stood up again to greet the host of the banquet, and the bright yellow figure felt a royal aura at a glance. The yellow robe is embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, under the undulating golden waves at the corners of the robe, the sleeves are swayed back and forth with steps, the body is dignified, the appearance is dignified, and there is the power of ten thousand invincibles.

However, after all, the emperor is a little older, more than forty years old, and it is obviously not to the taste of those young women. But the crown prince behind the emperor attracted many admiring eyes.

His eyes are deep and bright, the bridge of his nose is high, his handsome side face, and his facial contours are perfect and impeccable, especially his handsome eyebrows are thick and charming, which is definitely inherited from the emperor.

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Wow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really handsome!"

These were just the whispers of the women in private, and Chi Xia, as one of the prince's admirers, never left his eyes from the moment the prince entered the door.

When he approached him, Chi Xia wished that the prince would come over. Somehow, things really happened as Chi Xia wanted, and the prince turned his head to look at her seat, and even smiled slightly.

This smile made Chi Xia fall, his peach blossom eyes were so affectionate, and the slight hook of his moderately thick lips made people dizzy. Chi Xia sighed in her heart that the prince had not forgotten her, and remembered her, she was so happy.

It's Chi Wan, she just looked at the prince and didn't want to look at him, and when she felt that the prince was almost gone, she saw him looking at herself and smiling. That's right, his eyes are just looking at himself, absolutely right!

Chi Wan's whole body shuddered, and for some reason she felt that the prince's smile was not friendly at all. But at this moment, the prince was already some distance from her, and the uneasiness in his heart had weakened a little.

"The King of Chu has arrived!"

As soon as the crown prince and emperor sat down, the king of Chu also came, and the king of Chu was wearing a brown robe, and his hair was crowned with a fine flawless jade. He has always given people the feeling of a son who is as warm as jade, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his face is like peach petals, and his eyes are like autumn waves, and he is definitely not less than the prince who is admired by young women.

The King of Chu was followed by a person, Xie Yutang, who was dressed in Qin Xiang clothes and obediently followed behind the King of Chu without saying a word. His eyebrows are like swords, a pair of red phoenix eyes, domineering outside, worthy of a general, and his figure looks much stronger than the king of Chu in front.

During the banquet, the eyes of many women drifted on the three of them, and they didn't seem to know whether to choose the gentle and elegant King of Chu, the evil and handsome prince, or the handsome and dashing Xie Yutang.

When passing by Chi Wan, Xie Yutang noticed her, he seemed a little surprised why Chi Wan appeared here, Chi Wan also noticed that Xie Yutang was looking at him, but he didn't make any extra small movements, just nodded and meaningful.

After that, there was a salute, toast, greetings and other links, all of which did not match Chi Wan, and nothing strange happened within half an hour. Just when Chi Wan was relieved and felt that nothing had happened, the prince suddenly said in front of him: "Queen Mother, do you remember that Erchen had a playmate when he was a child?" And she's here today. ”

"Oh?" The queen was interested, and asked with a smile, "Which girl is it?" ”

In the admiring eyes of many women, the prince slowly spoke: "It's Chi Wan." ”

"Ji Wan?"

"How is she?"

Chi Xia also looked at Chi Wan with a look of disbelief, what's going on, Chi Wan was picked up from the countryside with her own eyes, and Mama also confessed to her, there will be no mistakes, why has she become the prince's childhood friend now?

Chi Wan was also shocked at the moment, could it be that this prince was drunk and started talking nonsense?

The prince was not finished, he continued: "The queen mother has a bad memory, when she was a child, Erchen often played with her all the time, and once she almost fell into the water when she was hiding from the cat, and it was the mother who saved her life. ”

"Did this happen?" The queen whispered to herself, and the prince still recalled to herself: "At that time, she loved to eat the sugar crisps sold on the streets outside the capital, and every time I went back to her, I would send someone to buy the sugar crisps and bring them to her." Wanwan, do you still love to eat now? ”

Chi Wan didn't dare to answer silently, she only felt that the atmosphere in the air was a little strange, and the expressions of the queen and the emperor also became displeased, Xie Yutang hurriedly found an opportunity to stand up and relieve Chi Wan.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have misremembered, if the master of the Chi family was only a fifth-grade official when you were a child, how could you have the opportunity to enter the palace?"

The queen also hurriedly answered: "Yes, child, you must be mistaken, think about it carefully." ”

The prince glanced at Xie Yutang, then pretended to think hard and then smiled, and said: "It seems that the sons and daughters are indeed confused, and I hope that the father and the queen mother will forgive the sins, and the blame is only that the sons and daughters have been unforgettable since they saw her a few times before, and they think about it day and night, so it will be like this." ”

The more the prince's words became stranger, Chi Wan was completely stunned when she heard it, those nonsense words had attracted the angry eyes of many women, including Chi Xia beside her.

Chi Xia stared at Chi Wan viciously, she really couldn't understand why the man she fancied was robbed by her in the end, so she was Chi Wan, not long after Mu Zhufeng divorced her wife, how could she have such a deep relationship with the prince?

"Say, Chi Wan, are you hiding that I have private contact with the prince!" This sentence was said by Chi Xia almost through gritted teeth.

Chi Wan hurriedly denied and said, "I was locked up in the house by you and your mother during that time, how could I have a chance to get in touch." ”

Chi Xia thought about it, it was indeed reasonable, she just escaped two days ago, it was impossible for her to fall in love with the prince at first sight, this didn't make sense. So no one knows what medicine is being sold in the prince's gourd.

Seeing the impatient expressions of the queen and the emperor, King Chu and Mu Zhufeng were very worried, but the crown prince was very excited and continued to babble endlessly.

"Queen Mother, Erchen is also like you, since I saw Chi Wan's dancing at the banquet that day, I can't forget it, and I can't get rid of it. In the days that followed, Erchen also went to look for her a few times, and since then, Erchen has found that she is really a lovely person with both talents and appearances. ”

"She was helpful and skillful, and once someone fainted on the street, and without saying a word, she rushed to help, and woke the man up; The dresses she designed were sold well, and almost all the money she received was used to help the people. ”

The prince praised Chi Wan for a while, describing it as a skyscraper, as if Chi Wan was an all-round person, who knew both this and that, and was proficient in all kinds of talents.

But what the prince said was almost all fabricated facts, all of them were false, and they were not at all false. No matter how vivid he is, it doesn't exist.

Ji Wan wanted to stand up and deny, but sat down silently in the fierce eyes of the women. Even if she says no, the queen and the emperor don't necessarily believe it. Besides, there is no part of what she said here, and she can only pray that the emperor and the queen will not trust the prince.

Chi Wan thought so, but things didn't go according to people's wishes, the queen's face was very cold at this time, and she had already heard the prince praise that woman for nearly ten minutes. Even if the maid beside him quietly reminded the prince to stop talking, it was useless.

Since she was a child, she had never seen the prince care about a woman so much, which was a good thing, after all, he should also start looking for a future crown princess when he was of marriageable age.

But Chi Wan can't, everyone present is the only one who will never become the crown princess.

First of all, the family is not prominent, and the prince's marriage is often used to strengthen the power of the royal family, so it is mostly a marriage or a woman from a large family. If it is combined with the Chi family, it will be a waste at all!

Secondly, in the queen's impression, her children would not pursue a woman so easily. Now that he is so fascinated by her, he looks like he is full of her, it must be Chi Wan who is making trouble! If she hadn't taken the initiative to seduce, how could the prince have become what he is now.

Then, and most importantly, if she remembers correctly, this Chi Wan seems to have been the wife of that Mu Zhufeng before! Later, with Mu Zhufeng in prison, she naturally became a widow.

How can such a woman be worthy of the prince, heaven does not tolerate it! The queen couldn't swallow that breath in her heart, and seeing that the prince was still deaf and praising him, the queen felt that she could no longer sit idly by, and she was going to take action to remind him.

The dancers on the middle road danced a song, and the maids in this transit field served the food, and the people in the banquet could also do something else.

The queen got up and said, "Prince, accompany the palace to take a walk outside." ”
