Chi Xia was complacent, even Chi Wan thought she was beautiful, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely be even more uncontrollable after seeing it.

"Your Highness...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... "Chi Xia has been completely immersed in her sweet fantasies, Chi Wan simply didn't bother with her, she was still worried about today's banquet.

The two of them thought about each other, and in this way, the carriage finally arrived at the palace.

Chi Xia got out of the carriage excitedly, and she couldn't help but exclaim when she looked at the towering vermilion palace gate in front of her. But Chi Wan's face did not change, she had seen it before, and if she was surprised at this time, the maids in the palace would think that you were not knowledgeable.

"Two young ladies, please follow me." The palace maid was respectful on the surface, but secretly complained in her heart that now anyone can enter the palace to participate in the banquet? Just these two unfamous faces, when did they have such qualifications.

The two of them went around in circles, from the edge to the center, and the surrounding scenery gradually became gorgeous.

A round of bright crescent moon crossed the delicate corner tower, sprinkling a hazy yellow light on the high wall, and the statue of the divine beast on the eaves was even more golden scales and golden armor under the light, vivid, as if it wanted to fly into the air.

The lights on both sides were bright, and from time to time a column of maids passed by with dishes and tributes in their hands, and they did not forget to salute them. Chi Xia is dignified on the surface, but his eyes have been looking around curiously, and he can't get enough of the beautiful scenery in front of him.

After walking for a while, I saw the maid stop, and in front of the three of them was a vermilion wall and an open golden gate, about two meters high, covered with black tiles. The wall is also built with a layer of gold edges, which is graceful and luxurious. There is a faint sound of the piano inside, and the golden silk nanmu plaque on the door is written with three gilded characters of "Changchun Garden".

"This is it." The maid said.

"It's finally here," Chi Xia was even more impatient when he thought that the prince might be inside, "take us in!" ”

Chi Wan looked at the words Changchun Garden, remembering the things that happened in the palace before, and felt a little jealous in her heart.

Changchun Garden is the place where banquets are usually held in the palace, and the reason why it was chosen here is the beauty of the place and the second is the beauty of the construction, especially the back garden.

There are strange flowers and plants all over there, very bright and beautiful, and there are 20 flower trees, which are tall and handsome. There are the queen's favorite Jinhua stacked chrysanthemums, the queen mother's favorite moonlit night Baitan, and the five-color nightshade that can be called the strongest fragrance.

At this time, it is autumn, the wind moves and the flowers fall, thousands of flowers, paving several layers, only to see the back. The petals of the garden flutter like the first fall of winter snow, which is very beautiful. There is a pond called Taiye Pond next to the flowers, surrounded by pure water, duckweed is all over the ground, green and clear.

The two directly entered the main hall of Changchun Garden, only to see the red sandalwood as the beam, the crystal as the lamp, the shark bead as the curtain, and the Fan Jinhetu as the pillar base. There is also a silk treasure tent hanging around, the tent is embroidered with dragon and phoenix vine grass patterns, and the wind raises the curtain to move, as if falling into the cloud mountain.

"Sit down here, two of you." Under the reminder of the maid, Chi Wan and Chi Xia sat down, this seat was very close to the gate, but only a few steps away.

If you look at the emperor at the front from this position, even Chi Wan, who has excellent eyesight, can only vaguely distinguish the silhouette and figure. Obviously, only those with more noble status can sit in front of the country, and with the power of the Chi family, they can only sit here.

Chi Wan didn't have any opinions, when the time came, the prince would definitely sit in front, and the farther away from him, the better. But Chi Xia, she hadn't noticed anything wrong, and she was still sighing with Chi Wan that the scenery around her was so gorgeous.

"The palace is different, the floor is all white jade, and there are gold beads embedded in it! Chiseled for the lotus, the flowers into the appearance of a five-stemmed lotus, this seems to be the warm jade of Lantian, no wonder there is a warm feeling to the touch. ”

Not long after the two of them sat down, they heard a legend: "The queen has arrived!" ”

Everyone stood up, bowed their heads, and bowed down and saluted, saying, "See the queen mother." ”

Chi Wan saw the woman in the red and yellow Luan Niao Chaofeng embroidered dress walking slowly on the main road, her sleeves were embroidered with large peonies, and the skirt was embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern, which was extremely bright.

A black bun is wearing a chain of colored beads, and there is a golden lotus next to it, which is elegant and beautiful. There is a coercion when she approaches, which makes people respect her from the bottom of their hearts, just like the phoenix is the king of birds, she is the mother of a country.

The queen sat down on one of the thrones, waved her hand, and said, "Rise up, everybody." ”

"Yes, sissy."

"Today is the autumn equinox, the emperor and the palace got some delicacies a few days ago, and some precious coral ornaments from foreign countries for everyone to taste and watch."

As the queen spoke, a eunuch brought in several pots of red coral of different shapes and placed them at the front of the feast. After they left, the dancers took the stage and continued to sing and dance.

The sleeves fluttered, the bell rang and the chime was ringing, the music was melodious, Chi Wan happily tasted the Buddha jumping over the wall in front of her, anyway, it was rare to enter the palace and even ran into the queen's mother to hold a banquet, it seems that there is something to eat.

Chi Wan only felt that she had just finished eating a dish and served another one, which was really overwhelming. On the contrary, Chi Xia, who was sitting on the side, almost had no intention of touching food, and her eyes couldn't wait to look around left and right, always looking for the figure of the prince.

The main seat of the banquet, the queen just noticed a familiar figure, so she asked, "The people from the banquet pool family are also here today?" ”

The eunuch in charge on the side replied: "Back to the queen's mother, the two young ladies of the Chi family are indeed here." ”

"Speaking of the Chi family, I have to mention Chi Wan, the palace has a very deep impression of her," the queen said with a smile, "I still remember the last banquet, she improvised a dance in the palace and splashed ink to make clothes, which is really bold and thoughtful." ”

One of the concubines should say to the queen: "Yes, Niangniang, the concubine also remembers that child, and remembers that it seems that because of her, there has been a craze for splashing ink and making clothes in the capital, and even many sisters and sisters have followed suit." ”

Concubine Xi glanced left and right a few times and asked, "Didn't you say that Miss Nachi also came to the banquet today, why didn't I see her in the palace." And the queen mother also praised her, why didn't she stand up and thank her? ”

The eunuch replied: "Niangniang, because the identity of the Chi family is not qualified, so she sat at the end of the banquet, maybe she didn't hear it." ”

The eunuch hurriedly urged his follower to remind Chi Wan, and Chi Wan hurriedly stood up and walked to the main road to salute and shouted: "The queen forgives her sins, it was the little girl who was stupid and didn't hear her voice, and the mother forgives her sins!" ”

The queen smiled gently and said, "Okay, okay, you can't be blamed for this, this palace is not such an unreasonable person." ”

Concubine Jing, who has always been against the queen, said in a mocking tone: "I didn't expect the queen's mother to have such a unique vision now, and she can look down on such a low-status woman, and she can still get praise from her mother while sitting behind her, aren't you grateful?" ”

Chi Wanzhao made a big salute and said, "Thank you for your appreciation!" ”

The queen's praise of Chi Wan also attracted some unkind eyes, and those noble women were whispering in private.

At this time, a woman sitting in the middle seat said to Chi Wan: "The queen thinks so highly of you, but you are slow to react and embarrass the mother, you really live up to the expectations of the mother!" ”

Chi Wan said: "It's me who is stupid, but Niangniang has also forgiven my sins." ”

Another noble lady sitting in the middle also said with a tone of jealousy: "Hmph, what the Chi family, I haven't even heard of it, no wonder I sit in that kind of position, so far away that I can't even hear the voice of the queen's mother, it's really laughing to death." ”

"That's it, if it's me, it's better not to come than to sit in this position, it's so thick-skinned."

Those noble ladies are all saying bad things about Chi Wan, and even going too far.

Chi Wan listened to those words in her ears, but her face was calm, and she sat there with her eyes closed as if no one was around, ignoring them by herself.

Chi Xia couldn't help it, she and Chi Wan were sitting at a banquet now, which meant that they were family. Now that Chi Wan has suffered such criticism, from her personally to the Chi family, then in the end it will be equivalent to affecting herself!

Chi Xia frowned, listening to those demeaning words about Chi Wan was like listening to words that belittled herself, she only felt uncomfortable all over. She really wanted to escape from Chi Wan, she didn't want to be crowned with the same humble status as Chi Wan and didn't understand the rules.

"Chi Wan, you should think of a way!" She stretched out her hand under the table and dragged Chi Wan fiercely, she squeezed it very hard, as if she was venting her frustration in this way, "Are you just listening to them talk about you?" ”

"What else can I do?" Chi Wan looked at Chi Xia with an innocent expression, which annoyed the other party even more.

"Then do you know that you will affect me, or even the entire Chi family?" Seeing that she hadn't done anything yet, Chi Xia was anxious, and she also stood on the side of those noble ladies and scolded Chi Wan, "I didn't expect you to be such a responsible person, I really misjudged you, I shouldn't have brought you here, it's a shame!" ”

"Ahem, ahem!" This mocking conversation was finally ended, and the coughing sound came from the queen's mother, who saw that the expression on the queen's face was now very unhappy.

She said: "Why are you rich women so ungraceful, Chi Wan just made a trivial mistake, this palace has forgiven her, why are you still chattering like this?" ”

The girls were surprised, they didn't expect the queen to help Chi Wan speak! But the facts are in front of them, even if they don't believe it.

So everyone had to stand up and salute slightly, saying, "Yes, Niangniang." Then he sat down, still looking at Ji Wan with dissatisfied eyes, but he didn't dare to say bad things about her like he did just now, at most he was secretly slandering in his heart.
