Mei Qing
The concubines of the East Palace all knew that Ye Qing never talked much, so after just a moment of silence, everyone tacitly started the previous topic, so the hall gradually became lively again, and the one who was always easily interspersed between various topics was Mei Zijin. In addition to Mei Zijin's current pampering, no one dares to offend, and Mei Zijin's own knowledge and interest in speaking are also a big reason.
Yeqing was eating the fruit on the table, while looking indifferently, the more he looked, the more he felt as if Mei Zijin was the master of the East Palace, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a rather interesting smile. It's just that Yeqing didn't notice it, and her eyes were getting colder and colder. Fortunately, her sense of presence has always been very low, otherwise if anyone looked closely at her at this moment, they would find that her cold eyes were similar to the usual cowardice.
In such an atmosphere, the delicacies of the mountains and seas were sent up one by one, but because Chu Chenxuan had not yet appeared, no one in the concubines of the East Palace dared to move the chopsticks first.
I don't know if I deliberately pinched the time, but when the dish was almost served, the palace people broke the seemingly lively scene with a sharp singing: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”
These six words, like the pause button on a tape recorder playing music, silenced the entire banquet hall.
Chu Chen walked in in a navy blue suit, and his expression couldn't tell the difference between joy and anger.
The night cleared up: "The concubines see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is blessed with Jin'an!" ”
The concubines also stood up and saluted: "The concubines see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is blessed with Jin'an!" ”
Chu Chenxuan sat down on the main seat before waving his hand: "It's all exempt." ”
"Your Highness!" The women took their seats.
Chu Chenxuan glanced at Ye Qing lightly: "How can Concubine Ai have this Yaxing today?" There was no pampering in the tone, but there was no displeasure, as if it belonged to the kind of politeness between husband and wife who seemed to be separated - no pampering, only respect.
There was a hint of nervousness in Ye Qing's expression, as if the calm momentum just now disappeared all of a sudden: "Qiyu, Your Highness, it is the queen's mother who advises and advises the concubines, and since there are new people in the East Palace, all the sisters should know each other...... It's good to ......" Speaking of zuihou, it seems that it is because he knows that the prince has never liked the queen and the queen, so his voice is getting lower and lower.
Sure enough, the corners of Chu Chenxuan's mouth hooked a mocking smile: "The queen really has a heart." The dissatisfaction in her tone was obvious, Wang Xianzhi, who was originally a little hesitant, looked dark, and couldn't help lowering her head, but Chu Chenxuan's gaze swept over her at this time, so she only saw her full of pearls, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but be colder.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......" Ye Qing seemed to be frightened, and immediately got up, and was about to ask for guilt, but was stopped by Chu Chenxuan with some impatience: "Okay, sit down!" ”
There was a trace of water in the eyes of the night clear: "Xie, His Royal Highness Prince Xie ......" looked aggrieved and carried the black pot for the queen, and had to swallow bitter water in his stomach.
So on the second day, there were rumors in the palace that the queen intervened in the affairs of the East Palace, making the prince Liangdi, who is now in charge of the East Palace, angry with the prince, and the queen was so angry that she smashed a mutton fat jade ring in her hand on the spot.
Of course, that's a story for later.
Chu Chenxuan no longer paid attention to her after sitting down at night, but glanced at Liu Huanting, who was sitting beside him, and said lightly: "Why isn't Mei Qing sitting alone?" ”
