Chapter 71: Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet II
After the emperor announced the start of the banquet, the dancing girls entered the arena one after another and danced a cheerful court dance.
Su Miaojing looked at it and began to doze off. After a while, she slowly closed her eyes with her hands propped up, and began to hear the sound of her even breathing.
After Shen Yunche next to him heard it, he looked at her funny and doting, and then stretched out his hand and took her into his arms to make her sleep more comfortable.
At this time, Shen Yunhao saw Su Miaojing sleeping grandly at the banquet, and really felt that she was not small.
Father Su and Mother Su were very relieved to see that King Yue was so considerate of their daughter, and they looked at her with a strong longing. His two older brothers also had expressions of longing and relief on their faces.
Shen Yunze, who was sitting closest to the upper position, looked at the woman who was crazy in his heart, lying in the arms of others with a peaceful and comfortable face at the moment, his heart was extremely uncomfortable and irritable, in order to suppress the boredom in his heart, he could only suppress the restlessness in his heart by drinking constantly.
At this time, Yuwen Jinhan, who was sitting next to the Marquis of Dingyuan, was also uncomfortable, he was depressed and irritable, so he could only pretend to watch singing and dancing, and his eyes were out of sight.
The emperor looked at Shen Yunche and was very happy to see that his son, who had always been indifferent and silent, felt so sorry for his princess.
The crown princess, who was sitting next to Shen Yunze, saw that her husband's mind was all on the five brothers and sisters, and she was indignant. Although he concealed it very well, she has been married to him for so many years, not to mention that she understands his thoughts, but in terms of feelings, she is still very clear.
His husband is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is extremely noble in this country, and she is a dignified princess, which is also unspeakably expensive. But since she married him, until now, she has not looked at herself properly. I understood that he had only married himself to consolidate his position in the court, and although he had been indifferent and alienated from me in recent years, he had never treated himself harshly. I thought that as long as An An did what the crown princess should do, even if he wouldn't fall in love with him, he wouldn't let him down. She thought that he was a ruthless and indifferent person and would not be tempted by any woman, but she didn't expect him to have feelings for his brother and daughter-in-law, and it was very affectionate.
Thinking of this, she was depressed, and her hands clenched her sleeves tightly.
She tried to dissuade him from drinking anymore, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't speak, because even if she tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen. At the beginning, he couldn't get angry, so he quietly sent someone to assassinate her, but she was robbed. Neither my father nor my brothers knew about it. If His Royal Highness knew about this, he would probably be angry and kill himself.
At this time, the eldest princess sitting next to Ye Weiran, Shen Yunxiang got up and toasted to the emperor above, and said gently, "Father, mother, son-in-law has not been in the palace to see his father and mother for a long time, and son-in-law takes this opportunity to apologize to his father and mother!" Erchen punishes himself with a cup first! When he had finished speaking, he drank all the wine from the golden cup, and poured the rim downwards to show that he had finished drinking.
The emperor sitting on it looked at her with a peaceful and loving face, and only listened to the emperor's stern admonition, "As long as you are filial to your in-laws, considerate of your husband, and do what a wife should do, you are worthy of being a father." ”
The queen smirked with a hint of concealment, "Yes, what your father said is very good, do what you should do for your son, even if you are worthy of the teachings of the queen mother!" ”
Shen Yunxiang smiled decently and replied gently, "Yes, Erchen remember!" ”
She sat down slowly.
At this time, Su Miaojing was woken up by the sound of them talking, her eyes were worried, half open and half closed, she sat down from Shen Yunche's arms, rubbed her eyes lightly, and there was still a trace of ignorance on her face that she had just woken up.
Shen Yunche asked in a low voice, "Wake up." I nodded.
Shen Yunche picked up the teacup on the table, stretched out his hand, and motioned for her to drink some and be sober. Su Miaojing lowered her head and drank a little, and then Shen Yunche put the teacup on the table again.
Su Miaojing still didn't feel sober, she whispered to Shen Yunche, "I want to go out and go around!" ”
Shen Yunche nodded and whispered, "Don't run too far!" ”
Su Miaojing nodded and replied, "I'll just go around outside the hall!" ”
After she finished speaking, she quietly exited the main hall.
Shen Yunche beckoned gently, and a eunuch stepped forward.
The eunuch bowed and asked, "What does Your Highness command?" ”
Shen Yunche's cold tone, "Call my personal guards in!" ”
The eunuch nodded.
Jing Yi came in and whispered to him, "Follow the princess secretly and protect her." Jing Yi nodded.
After Jing Yi left, he followed her in secret.
Su Miaojing walked out of the hall, followed by Ziyan, Ziyan's brisk tone, "Miss, do you think the banquet is boring, so you came out." ”
Su Miaojing nodded.
"I'm dozing off!" In a cheerful tone, she said to Ziyan.
When Ziyan heard her young lady's words, she felt in her heart that it was really her young lady, and it was estimated that in the young lady's heart, in addition to curing diseases and saving people, everything else was extremely boring for her.
At this moment, a palace maid rushed towards her and accidentally bumped into Su Miaojing. The palace maid looked up and saw that it was Princess Yue, she was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to ask for guilt, "Slave maid to see Princess Yue!" The slave damned, she collided with Princess Yue, and please forgive me! He kept kowtowing as he spoke.
Su Miaojing stopped her, helped her up, without the slightest tone of blame, and said softly, "I'm fine, you're okay!" She nodded.
The palace maid felt that Princess Yue was so gentle and had a really good temper.
Su Miaojing said in a gentle tone and asked her, "What's going on?" Are you in such a hurry? ”
The palace maid replied in an eager tone, "Princess Huiyue, just now the next person from the Prince's Mansion came to report!" said that the side concubine is about to give birth, and quickly invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the house! ”
Seeing that she was so impatient, Su Miaojing comforted her softly, "Don't worry, the banquet is not over yet, if you take the liberty of going in and disturbing, you will be punished, wait for me to go in and tell you, you wait for a while." ”
When the palace maid heard this, she was grateful, and was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Su Miaojing stopped her, and then said to Ziyan, "Ziyan, you accompany her here, and I will come out immediately." ”
So she turned around and walked into the main hall, looked at Shen Yunze who was in the first place on the left, walked to Shen Yunche's side, and sat down slowly.
Shen Yunche was about to say that she was back, but he saw her waving to a eunuch behind her, and the eunuch stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Princess Yue, what is the matter?" ”
Su Miaojing muttered quietly, "You ......"
After listening to this, the eunuch nodded.
Then, the palace eunuch walked to the prince's side and whispered a few words in the same vein.
After listening to the report, Shen Yunze immediately got up, with a respectful tone on his face, "Father, forgive your sins!" If the son has something important, he must go back to the house first, and ask his father to agree! ”
Seeing his anxious face, Shen Ye nodded and agreed.
Shen Yunze's cool voice said, "Erchen farewell!" ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't even care about the crown princess, and walked out of the palace.
Walking to the door, he glanced at Su Miaojing, in addition to gratitude, there were also a few strange feelings hidden in his eyes.
Su Miaojing gestured with her eyes, no need to be polite.
Shen Yunche used his internal strength to hear Su Miaojing's whisper just now, and knew that he got up and left in order to go back to the house to see his soon-to-be-born child, but he was still very unhappy when he saw his eldest brother staring at his princess like this.
He saw that Su Miaojing had been staring at Shen Yunze, and her tone had a hint of food, "Don't look at him!" ”
When Su Miaojing heard this, she glanced at him, hooked her lips, and said in an unkind tone, "You are sick!" With that, he pushed him away.
Then, he left his seat without hesitation.
After she came out, she looked at Jing Yi who was standing outside the door, "I'll go first, you tell Shen Yunche." ”
After she finished speaking, she strode towards the outside of the hall.
