Chapter Ninety-Eight
The atmosphere of this banquet became serious, the Queen Mother and Prince Guo looked at each other, and everyone in the audience was nervous, only the Queen was drinking tea on the side, not caring at all. Her eyes were serious.
The Queen Mother said angrily: "You are fighting against the mourning family." "Prince Guo is still very calm" Erchen, don't dare. ”
The atmosphere became more and more serious, and the emperor hurriedly played a round: "The Queen Mother is angry, Prince Guo is not him when he was a child, he doesn't want to marry, let him be." "If the Queen Mother is angry today, this banquet will not be able to go on.
Qiushui trembled a little with fright: "Little master, Prince Guo won't be ......" I understand what she wants to say, but now is not the time, if it is heard by the people next to us, we will not be able to protect ourselves.
"I'll talk about it when I go back, now is not the time." I hurriedly took a sip of tea to suppress the shock, although I have seen a more serious scene than this, but what kind of big people are on the field, and I can't act rashly now.
A silent queen put down the teacup in her hand and said to Prince Guo: "Okay, since it is the queen mother's decree, then you will obey it, do you dare to go against the queen mother?" "The queen has always been a ruthless character, and this time it is obvious that Prince Guo will be soft.
Prince Guo's face seems to be unwilling to comply, and in my heart, I also pinch the sweat for him, if the Queen Mother is angry, Prince Guo will really be finished.
Prince Guo did express his attitude: "The sons have no plans to marry at present, no matter how much you match the sons and daughters, the queen mother will never give in." ”
The Queen Mother was really angry: "You...... You ......" Seeing this, Prince Guo knelt down directly.
"It is said that Prince Guo is the biological son of the Queen Mother, why does the Queen Mother favor an adopted son, although this Seventh Prince is very capable, but he just saved the Queen Mother's life."
"Who knows, be quiet, if the Queen Mother hears it, we'll be finished."
A few little palace maids behind me were whispering. In this palace, the most important thing is this gossip.
Prince Guo is afraid that he has misunderstood the good intentions of the Queen Mother, and if he can choose a family business for him, it will be of great help to him in the future competition for the throne.
"If you insist on this, you are not obeying the wishes of the Queen Mother." The queen continued.
Something is starting to talk about it.
"The queen mother is trying to force Prince Guo to comply."
"I have to say that she is the fierce rival of all the women in the harem."
I took a sip of my tea, not interested in their gossip.
Prince Guo finally stopped being silent: "Queen Mother, you don't need to persuade the ministers. He had already seen through the queen, "Minister, you won't do that." ”
The corners of the queen's mouth rose slightly, it was really funny, this person would actually see through her own thoughts.
The Queen Mother was even more angry: "Since this is the case, then you don't have to stay here, the province will hinder the eyes of the mourning family." "The Queen Mother has issued an order to expel guests.
The emperor persuaded: "Prince Guo is just not ripe, the queen mother doesn't have to care too much......"
"Immature, he is now against the mourners." The Queen Mother interrupted the emperor's words: "The emperor doesn't need to persuade me. ”
The atmosphere was rigorous, and Prince Guo was a little overwhelmed.
He knelt down for the Queen Mother on the spot: "Erchen, retire, I hope the Queen Mother understands Erchen." ”
The people below began to panic. "How is this good, this will not affect the relationship between the Queen Mother and the prince."
"If Prince Guo takes a step back, he doesn't need to do this."
"He just wants to go against the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
For the following disputes, how could the emperor sit calmly: "Quiet, the banquet will be held as usual." ”
In order to cover this solemn atmosphere, soon the music sounded, the dancing girl began to perform, the seventh prince in order to coax the queen mother, talked about a lot of things outside the palace, the queen mother's face gradually improved, the emperor and the queen were talking about something, the emperor looked angry, but the queen was very calm, she knew that the emperor would not be angry with herself.
The people around me breathed a sigh of relief, although I am a partner, but I am still very worried about Prince Guo, with the character of the Queen Mother, I should not let go of Prince Guo, the queen's tone just now is clearly to go against Prince Guo.
As for the emperor, he is very fond of Prince Guo. What's going on, the relationship between the two should be enemies, but the emperor has always cared about Prince Guo, isn't it what I thought at first? I clenched the teacup tightly in my hand, my brow furrowed.
"Little master, what's wrong with you, do you need to take a break?" Qiushui on the side asked me worriedly. Her warm hand touched my head, "It's not very hot either." She touched her forehead again. I took her hand down: "It's okay, I'm fine, but you, you're scared next to you." "In the Lin family before, there were not so many intrigues, and the first time Qiushui entered the palace with me, he experienced such a big thing.
Qiushui shook her head shyly, as a slave, she shouldn't be afraid, she has to stand with Lin Bofeng all the time, and she must not let people catch the handle of the little master, this is the instructions given to her by her mother when the little master married into the palace.
This harem is still more sinister than I imagined, and it seems that in the future, I will have to settle down again.
I was very thirsty today, I always wanted to drink tea, I don't know if it was nervousness or what, I picked up the teacup, but there was no tea in it. A palace maid came next to me and wanted to pour tea for me.
"Little master, the slave will pour tea for you." The little girl is very delicate, a little green, maybe my place is a little closer to the emperor and the seventh prince, she saw that I had no tea in the pot, so she would take the initiative to pour tea for me, a little nobleman. The hearts of people in this palace are really unpredictable.
I looked up and smiled at her, "Thank you." The little palace maid also smiled shyly, after all, she was still a child, and in this harem, she hadn't seen a heartfelt smile for a long time.
I picked up the teacup, Qiushui poked me stupidly, and motioned me to look at the throne, and the seventh prince sat next to the queen mother, and when he saw me looking this way, he smiled at me.
I felt for a moment that this man was so dangerous, just when Prince Guo was there, he was so serious that the scene was indifferent, and even looked at Prince Guo with disdain, but now his gaze is so gentle, no, I can't look at him, I have nothing to do with him anymore.
I forcibly avoided his gaze, the tea in the teacup was empty again, I picked up the teapot, but my hand was shaking involuntarily, and my heart panicked.
"Ah, little lord." Qiushui screamed, and I realized that my clothes were wet. Qiushui quickly took out the handkerchief he carried with him to wipe my clothes, but it was only a small wet piece.
I said, "It's okay, let's go change our clothes." I looked around, but no one noticed, and quietly left the infield with Qiushui.
It was when I returned to the Sego Palace that I felt at ease.
"Little lord, do you want to change into the gorgeous clothes that the emperor gave you." Qiushui has already taken the clothes over. The costume is red, which was given to me by the emperor when I first entered the palace, and I have never worn it.
"No need, help me find the dress embroidered with chrysanthemums." I think this Qianqiu banquet will cater to the autumn, although the ginkgo is dirty, there are chrysanthemums, but this dress is much more expensive than the ginkgo.
Qiushui knows more about the Sego Palace than I do, and soon found out the clothes, my heart has never been calm since Prince Congguo, although Qiushui doesn't understand anything, but he still wants to talk to her, but he doesn't know how to speak.
Unexpectedly, Qiushui was the first to ask me: "Little master, you say, why is Prince Guo unwilling to marry, with his conditions, many noble daughters and concubines want to marry him, and Prince Guo is no worse than the Seventh Prince." "Qiushui is still a child, but he likes to listen to some other gossip.
"Poof." I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qiushui was a little angry: "Why is the little master laughing at me." ”
I poked her forehead with my finger: "You, you think about those useless things every day. Qiushui covered his forehead shyly: "No, I have always thought about the little master." ”
"However, when I was thinking about Prince Guo and the Queen Mother, I always felt that something was not right."
Qiushui is very curious, I usually don't get involved in all kinds of things in the harem, and I am only a partner with Prince Guo, but I am so concerned about his affairs.
"What is the little lord wondering about? The slave may be able to help the little master inquire. "Qiushui is dressing me in underwear.
No, I can't let Qiushui know what I'm thinking: "What do you think about this?" ”
"Ahh Me? Qiushui was a little surprised, no lady in the harem would ask a slave maid what she thought, "The slave maid thinks that this is the Queen Mother's love for His Royal Highness Prince Guo, the Queen Mother loves her son very much, and wants His Royal Highness Prince Guo to get married as soon as possible, and then, let Prince Guo not be alone." ”
Knowing that this child was a little nervous, he still had to ask her.
I said, "So, what you mean is that the Queen Mother loves Prince Guo too much, so she wants him to get married as soon as possible." Right? Qiushui nodded.
I laughed: "You just think wrong, if so, why does the Queen Mother choose a relative for the Seventh Prince?" He's clearly just an adopted son, right? Qiushui was a little puzzled: "Maybe this is a special kind of maternal love?" Maybe it's the depth of love and the deep responsibility. ”
She is indeed right to think so, but things will definitely not be really simple, why does the Queen Mother want to set up a person who just saved her as the prince? And adopted as an adopted son? There must be some secret in this.
"Get dressed, let's go." I said.
Autumn is indeed a reassuring season, and every gust of autumn wind is very comfortable, and I can't help but stretch in the autumn wind. I've never been so comfortable, since I entered this harem, there has never been a day so comfortable and free as now, and I never thought that one day I would be involved with so many people, are they all very important people in life?
I kept asking myself, are you going to survive in this place in this life? How long can I live happily without grace?
We walked to a pavilion, the Seventh Prince stood in it, his handsome back attracted him, and I couldn't help but walk towards him.
When I arrived in the pavilion, he hadn't discovered my existence yet, so I was not silent, so I opened my mouth first: "Seventh Prince." ”
He turned around and looked at me in amazement, trying to reach out and touch my head, but I shifted my position, and he stopped and put his hand back.
"Lin Guiren." The Seventh Prince bowed down respectfully for me, and I looked at her back, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"What are you doing here, the banquet has begun, so let's enter quickly." His tone wanted to drive me away, but he was reluctant.
I sighed softly and said, "Bengu, I don't want to go in, I want to stay here for a while." "It was the first time I felt so uncomfortable in front of him, and he was a little surprised, probably thinking that I was staying for him.
"The noble man wants to be here, of course the king is willing." His eyes are very good, very good, but he is looking at the wrong person.
We were so silent, I was very uncomfortable.
"What arrangements do you have for today, the Queen Mother arranged a marriage for me?" He sounded like he wanted to ask for my opinion.
