Chapter 37: The Mid-Autumn Festival Feast (Part II)

"The Queen Mother has arrived." The shrill voice sounded, and the noise instantly decreased a lot, Liang Chen was chatting with Ye Dai about what you said and I said well, and had to be interrupted, got up and saluted with everyone at the door: "See the Queen Mother."

I heard a shocking voice say, "Get up." Liangchen got up and looked up, a middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a golden phoenix hairpin stood at the door, and behind her stood several palace maids and eunuchs, coming in one after another. It must be the legendary Empress Dowager Song, who doesn't look old, and only has a few wrinkles on her face, which does not affect her nobility at all.

The Empress Dowager Song walked straight to the upper seat, and those who were chattering in the besieged circle also returned to their seats, and waited until the Empress Dowager ordered to sit down before they took their seats.

"Auntie, can I sit with Cousin Liangchen today?" Ye Daixi asked Mrs. Ye, obviously it was just a simple inquiry, but Ye Daixi asked a coquettish meaning, perhaps because she was childish, her voice was mixed with soft cuteness, like a child.

is already well-behaved and sensible and favored by the Ye family, of course, Mrs. Ye is no exception, touched her little head and said, "Okay, then I'll sit with your mother." Ye Daixi nodded, and Mrs. Ye turned around and walked to the other table.

Ye Daixi turned her head to look at Liang Chen, and secretly smiled triumphantly on her face. Liangchen was also cute by her simple cuteness, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, it is also very good to have such a cute little sister who can be "ravaged" by herself.

"The mourning family is idle in the palace today, so they want to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to call everyone to gather together." The Queen Mother sat on the upper seat, looked at the many women below, and glanced at the back road.

Nothing to do? Liangchen was a little disdainful in his heart, everyone knew that you didn't have good medicine in your gourd, otherwise how could you delay the reunion of the family on the day of the reunion? But Liangchen can't say it, after all, the surface work has to be done enough.

"Everyone, you don't have to be polite, please enjoy it and talk to the mourners."

The courtyard is wide and spacious, and there are hundreds of people here, all of whom are in this courtyard, but it is surprisingly quiet, and no one dares to come out of the atmosphere. Such a depressing atmosphere made Liangchen feel a little uncomfortable, not only her, but Ye Daixi beside her also began to feel uncomfortable.

"Cousin, do you think this atmosphere looks like a gathering with nothing to do?" Ye Daixi lowered her voice and leaned over to Liangchen's ear and whispered.

This went to Liangchen's heart, Liangchen nodded, and responded softly: "There will definitely be something later, I'll sneak away first." After hearing this, Ye Daixi smiled and agreed: "Coincidentally, cousin, I think so too."

Sure enough, they were fellow travelers, and they all thought of going together.

After a while, one after another palace maids went in and out to serve food on more than 100 tables, Liangchen was eating, looking left and right, so boring, just eating, how could she sneak out?

Liangchen and Ye Daixi didn't know how long they had been boiling, and this meal was almost finished.

"Refreshments." After the Queen Mother put down the chopsticks in her hand, everyone also put down the chopsticks, and the Queen Mother ordered the refreshments to be passed.

Liang Chen saw that Ye Daixi beside him was still eating hard with chopsticks, glanced around embarrassedly, reached out and patted Ye Daixi gently, leaned over and said softly: "The Queen Mother has stopped chopsticks, don't eat."

Ye Daixi looked at the unfinished dishes in front of her, and then looked around, there was indeed no one who continued to eat, so she could only put down her chopsticks unwillingly and pouted her lips aggrievedly.

"I believe that everyone saw the will of the mourning family a few days ago." The Queen Mother asked after clearing her mouth.

Everyone nodded in the seats, only Liangchen and Ye Daixi remained indifferent and drank tea by themselves.

"By the way, which one is Liangchen, hurry up and let the mourning family see." After seeing everyone nodding, the Queen Mother suddenly remembered that she had not seen Zongzheng Liangchen yet, and only heard a few words from Gonggong Liu, so she was anxious to see the "strange woman" in Gonggong Liu's mouth.

When Liangchen heard this, he hurriedly put down the teacup, swallowed the tea in his mouth, stood up and saluted the Empress Dowager Song and said respectfully: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the courtiers will be Zongzheng Liangchen."

The Queen Mother looked Liangchen up and down, and wondered in her heart, shouldn't Zongzheng Liangchen be dressed like a parrot? Could it be that she came to the banquet today, and she came out because the family specially dressed her up for the scene? But the outfit is also a little too simple.

After the queen mother was puzzled, she felt that there were more possibilities for her to dress up at home, so she didn't think much about it, but she still smiled and praised on the surface: "Ouch, you look really Peugeot, how beautiful you look at your little face." This temperament is also very compatible with the Nine Divisions. ”

Liangchen was praised and a little flustered, if he behaved normally, he would just thank him indifferently and say a few polite words. But in this way, the Queen Mother should be suspicious, and she and the person who behaved in front of Gonggong Liu were like two people. So shouldn't she let the Queen Mother think that she is a coquettish and domineering madman, so that she is much happier in her heart, after all, Yan Jiusi wants to marry her, a madman.

Liang Chen used his brain, quietly took out the handkerchief hidden in his sleeve, picked it up and half-covered his face, but couldn't stop laughing happily and proudly: "Oh, the Queen Mother is wrong, His Royal Highness King Xuansi is something that an ordinary person like me can climb."

After finishing speaking, Liang Chen showed it with a smug smile that he felt he had never shown in his life, and glanced at the people around him with disdain.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother saw her behavior, she became more and more convinced that she was a madman, and said: "Where, if you enter the royal door, you are a member of the royal family, don't underestimate yourself, please sit."

Liangchen and Ye Dai sat in the corner on the side, after Liangchen sat down, he felt that he should not talk about himself anymore, and looking at the expression of the Queen Mother, he nodded with satisfaction...... Then I won't be suspicious of her.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother really stopped talking about King Xuansi, but began to ask other women, probably helping the emperor find a candidate for a concubine. So Liangchen took advantage of the palace maid to come in to deliver snacks, and quietly went out of the courtyard with the crowd. Poor Ye Dai took a pastry and turned her head to see that it was already empty, and secretly scolded in her heart, leaving herself alone!

After Liangchen came out, he felt a lot more relaxed, and he had to clean up the table and plates at the end, and then sneaked in unnoticed. Anyway, everyone's attention was all on the Queen Mother and the person the Queen Mother was going to ask, so no one noticed her coming out at all.

One of the palace maids in the company was surprised and asked, "This young lady, where are you going?"

Liang Chen saw that she was easier to deceive, so he asked seriously: "That...... That one I don't have a good stomach, can you tell me where that place is? Liangchen also covered his stomach and looked embarrassed.

The little palace maid really believed it, and pointed it out to her: "Miss go forward, turn left and enter another door."

After hearing this, Liangchen was grateful, followed her instructions and walked forward and turned left, and then entered a door, however, this is not a latrine, but an inner courtyard with a pond pavilion.

Coincidentally, there were two other people in the pavilion......
