Chapter 225: A sanctimonious hypocrite
Tonight's dinner was held in the Yangxin Palace, and in addition to the emperor and queen, there were several princes and princes and ministers above the second rank to attend.
An Ran and the others went directly to the Heart Cultivation Hall after entering the palace. There were already many ministers and princes in the palace, and as soon as An Ran and the others entered, they heard a lot of enthusiastic calls, all of them flattering them.
"Prime Minister, Miss, why are you here? "It's the clerk who speaks, this person is the grass on the wall, and the wind blows on either side, and An Ran was imprisoned that day, and he didn't fall into the well.
"Is there anything wrong with Taifu?" An Jin asked coldly, and then sat down. Their position was at the front, which was specially arranged by Emperor Sheng, and he was seated together with An Ran and Shangguan Jing.
"Look at what the prime minister said, you are the protagonist of tonight's dinner, after a year, the eldest lady has returned as an envoy of Northern Chu, which is a thing worth celebrating, I just said to other adults, saying that the eldest lady is really a dragon and phoenix among people. Taifu looked flattering and flattering, and in the end, he was completely flattering An Ran.
An Ran just smiled lightly, "Taifu said that he was joking, tonight's dinner is a banquet set up by His Majesty, and His Majesty can afford it, but the protagonist doesn't dare to be the protagonist, no matter what kind of identity Ah Ran is, in Dasheng, His Majesty and the queen are the masters, and we are the ministers."
As for the dragon and phoenix among the people, Ah Ran really didn't dare to sit down, now the emperor and queen are in the future, all the adults and princes have already entered the table, when it comes to the dragon and phoenix among the people, how can you not rank Ah Ran, the princes are well-deserved among the dragons and phoenixes, Taifu, you say yes?"
An Ran's tone is neither high nor low, the phoenix eyes are slightly constricted, and the casual appearance is sonorous, especially the last sentence, which makes people listen to it, and they can't help but feel a little hairs standing up.
Taifu was speechless and very embarrassed, so he could only laugh and echo, "Yes, yes, it's the old man's clumsy mouth." ”
An Ran hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes drooped slightly, and she played with the folding fan in her hand.
On the day she was thrown into prison, this clerk Taifu fanned the flames, and wanted to put her to death, so as to please Emperor Sheng, when his father and master wanted to exchange military power, he also got an inch on the side, This point, An Ran will not forget.
"I don't think we should make the atmosphere too tense, the return of the eldest lady is a thing worth celebrating, and it is rare to get together now. This time it was the Zhenguo Gong next to the clerk who spoke.
This person has always relied on the old and sold the old, without any merits, he will only see the wind and rudder, rely on the shadow of his ancestors, and get the title of a hereditary town prince.
An Ran curled the corners of her mouth disdainfully and did not speak.
It's good that Zhen Guogong didn't speak, but this speech made the atmosphere even more embarrassing.
Xiao Yi looked at all this coldly, his eyes kept falling on An Ran's body, and the corners of his mouth were hooked evilly, and his gaze was extremely hot.
An Ran is really An Ran, arrogant and domineering, her temperament has not changed, but that smile, every move is more sultry and exciting, she just has such a charm, even if she knows that she is a poppy, but she still can't help but want to get closer.
Xiao Yi looked at An Ran's gaze even more undisguised, but he didn't speak, just watched quietly like this, and no one could detect the light in his eyes.
An Ran always felt that there was a gaze staring at her, which made her uncomfortable, she raised her eyes slightly to look over, and met Xiao Yi's eyes, An Ran's eyes became sharp and cold, and she slightly raised her phoenix eyes, she gave a warning look, and then looked away, not looking at his pressing eyes.
"I only heard about it before, but now I really see it, Ah Ran, it seems that you have made a lot of enemies in Dasheng. Shangguan Jing lowered his voice and only said in a volume that An Ran could hear.
"My brother is wrong, how can this be an enemy? Ah Ran's principle has always been that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if people offend me, I will never back down. An Ran had a smile on her face, but she always felt a chill.
Shangguan Jing nodded approvingly, "I agree with this very much, Ah Ran's principle is very good." ”
Glancing at Shangguan Jing, An Ran chuckled, "It seems that Ah Ran and his brother are really like-minded." ”
At this moment, with a shout from the palace people: "Your Majesty has arrived, and the queen has arrived." On the left side of the hall, Emperor Sheng and Empress Sheng walked over slowly, and then walked to the top position.
Everyone stood up and saluted respectfully, "See Your Majesty, long live long live long live, long live the queen, long live the queen thousand years old and thousands of years old." ”
"The family is exempt from courtesy. ”
After everyone sat down, Emperor Sheng signaled to pass on the wine and food, and the palace maids began to serve the wine and food.
"This wine was paid as a tribute last year, and I will taste it with Zhongqing tonight. Emperor Sheng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. "All the people spoke with one voice,
"Prime Minister, Ah Ran, Shangguan Gongzi, you need to drink more glasses, I am specially for you to catch the wind and wash the dust. Emperor Sheng looked at An Jin and them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. An Jin and the others stood up and thanked them.
"Please sit down, there is no need for such a lot of courtesy between your monarchs and ministers today, besides, Ah Ran and Shangguan Gongzi are the envoys of Northern Chu, and I should be entertained. ”
Emperor Sheng picked up a glass of wine, and then shouted, "Come, I have a toast with Zhongqing." ”
Seeing this, everyone immediately raised their glasses and stood up, "Your Majesty." ”
After drinking a glass of wine, the next step is singing and dancing, and everyone will enjoy the wine and food while enjoying the song and dance.
"Shangguan Gongzi, is it the first time to come to Dasheng?" Emperor Sheng looked at Shangguan Jing and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, I have long heard that Dasheng is prosperous and prosperous, and the customs are very good, I have always wanted to come and see, and this time I finally have the opportunity to come. ”
"Then come back, Shangguan Gongzi will have to stay in Fengdu for a while and feel the scenery of my Dasheng Kingdom. Emperor Sheng said.
"Definitely, I came to Dasheng this time, and I also planned to stay longer. ”
"That's very good. I will immediately have a beautiful place to stay for you, and you will be able to go after the dinner. "Emperor Sheng is preparing to summon people.
"Your Majesty's hospitality, Shangguan Jing has received it, but he already has a place to live. Shangguan Jing stood up and thanked him.
Emperor Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Where do you live now?"
"I live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Shangguan Jing told the truth.
As soon as the words came out, not to mention Emperor Sheng, everyone in the hall looked at them in surprise.
"You live in Anfu?" Emperor Sheng's eyes were slightly constricted, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
An Ran raised his eyes and looked at everyone's eyes, and shook his head slightly funny, these people are really ridiculous, they all look serious and dignified on the surface, but in Fengdu City, how many princes and ministers, children of families, and their life style is rotten.
Now that he just heard that Shangguan Jing lived in Anfu, all of them had expressions as if they had seen a picture of the Spring Palace, looking at their expressions, An Ran sneered in his heart.
