The emperor couldn't see Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan showing their affection in public, and angrily scolded Su Muling for being a fox spirit.

"Your Majesty? What do you say? The new nobleman who entered the palace on the side didn't hear what the emperor was muttering, and asked thoughtfully.

The emperor was silent with a dark face, picked up the wine glass and poured it in.

Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, the noble man hurriedly filled the wine glass for him.

The ladies of the family tried their best to perform their talents, and Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan ate happily and watched with relish. From time to time, I also exchanged the appearance and conduct of the young ladies.

Halfway through the banquet, Su Muling was fed by Xiao Wenxuan and put down his chopsticks.

At this time, some ministers and family members came to the prince's table one after another with their young ladies to greet them.

Xiao Wenxuan faced these young ladies of the family and changed his cold style of rejecting people thousands of miles away in the past. Instead, he watched them one by one with interest, and praised those who performed on stage. This will surprise the ministers and the lady.

It's not the first time I've seen Xiao Wenxuan, the young lady here, but he's always been cold and rejects people thousands of miles away. Why did the prince change his temperament and face this time?

The emperor has been secretly observing Xiao Wenxuan, and he is also pleasantly surprised by Xiao Wenxuan's performance. Looking at Su Muling on Xiao Wenxuan's side, she is also gentle and virtuous, and her demeanor is generous. is very worthy of her status as the crown princess.

The emperor's face, which had been dark, gradually stretched: after all, he listened to him.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and Su Muling left the venue halfway because she had children to feed.

Xiao Wenxuan also pretended to be drunk and returned to the East Palace by Wuying shortly after Su Muling left.

The next day, the emperor decreed that Chang Ruolan, the eldest daughter of the scholar of Zhan Shifu, Shi Lang Zhongsi Qi, the priest of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Yuer, the second daughter of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, were given Xiao Wenxuan as concubines and named Liangyuan.

As soon as several young ladies entered the palace, they dressed up and came to greet the crown princess.

Su Muling appeared in full costume this time. I saw her phoenix crown and xiaxia veil, dressed in the red princess uniform, which made her face like a peach blossom, beautiful and moving.

Several newcomers knelt down with the Zuo family and the Jiang family to greet Su Muling.

Su Muling sat upright in the hall, looking at the few people kneeling, holding hot tea in his hand and snorting unhurriedly.

"Since the emperor asked you to come to the East Palace to serve, you must all be knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. You may have heard of the prince's temper, but as long as you don't do anything out of line, the prince is also easy to get along with. ”

"Before, this palace didn't ask too much of you because I had to take care of the prince. Now that a few younger sisters have joined, this palace has to ask you to abide by some rules. Otherwise, the overstepping, the bed-climbing, the prince who is unhappy, don't blame the palace for not reminding you. ”

After Su Muling finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Jiang Shuxian.

Jiang Shuxian was thrown by Xiao Wenxuan in Jinggong that day, and she was even more hated when she was mentioned by Su Muling today. The eyebrows and eyes twisted with displeasure.

"Mother's lesson." Everyone said in unison, only Jiang Shuxian was silent.

Su Muling knew that she was not convinced, and she didn't care.

"Okay, this palace is also tired, you guys go down." After Su Muling finished speaking, he got up and helped the palace maid's arm into the bedroom.

Everyone sent off the crown princess.

For dinner, Su Mu ordered people to place it in the matching hall.

The palace ladies rushed in, and more than 20 delicacies were put on the table one after another. The concubines were led by pomegranates and stood on both sides to welcome the arrival of the crown prince and the crown princess.

Not long after, Xiao Wenxuan appeared at the door with Su Muling's waist in his arms, followed by Xichun holding Shizi Jingye.

Xiao Wenxuan sent Su Muling to the seat, sat beside her, and sat down next to Su Muling.

Seeing this, Chang Ruolan was also about to sit down next to Xiao Wenxuan, but was picked up by the pomegranate standing aside:

"Do you know the rules? The crown prince and the crown princess have dinner, how can you sit down? ”

Chang Ruolan slapped Pomegranate's hand away in disgust, pointed at Xichun arrogantly and shouted: "A subordinate is qualified to sit here, I am the prince's good yuan." Naturally entitled to sit down to eat. ”

As she spoke, Chang Ruolan wanted to sit again, but she was picked up by the pomegranate again and pulled aside:

"Xichun is a descendant, but she is holding the son. And you are just a concubine, you are not qualified to sit with the crown prince and the crown princess. I don't even understand this rule, where does it look like I'm from a family? Pomegranate rolled her eyes at her disdainfully.

"You ......"

Chang Ruolan's face was pale, but she couldn't refute it.

She naturally knew that she was the prince's concubine. But she thought that the crown princess asked someone to call them here to eat at one table, who knew that she thought too much.

Chang Ruolan was humiliated by Pomegranate, and several other concubines who thought the same as her were lucky that they didn't become the first bird.

"Concubine Zuo, sit down." Su Muling nodded her name in a friendly manner.

Zuo Yan was stunned, a little incredulous.

Zuo Yan admired Xiao Wenxuan, but never expected Xiao Wenxuan to look at her differently. She knew that Xiao Wenxuan only had Su Muling in her heart, and she only hoped that she would be satisfied if she looked at him from time to time.

She is a side concubine, although her status is higher than that of several people who entered the palace later, but she is also a concubine in the end.

The crown princess asked her to sit down and eat together, but she was a little afraid to do so. She looked at Xiao Wenxuan hesitantly.

Xiao Wenxuan calmly pointed to Xichun's side and said, "The crown princess will sit if you want to sit." ”

Zuo Yan hurriedly bent down and agreed, and sat down next to Xichun.

"Ling'er, this pigeon soup is your favorite, taste it. If you can't do it, next time I'll ask the chef from Julongzhai to come and serve you. Xiao Wenxuan picked up the bowl and personally filled the pigeon soup and put it in front of Su Muling.

Su Muling turned his head and smiled at him charmingly, and scooped a spoonful with a spoon.

"Well, it's okay."

Su Muling said and pinched the sheepskin filigree in front of him and handed it to Xiao Wenxuan's mouth.

"It's cold, eat some of this warmest supplement."

Xiao Wenxuan looked at her dotingly and opened his mouth to catch it.

A few concubines watching on the side looked at the crown prince and the crown princess eating like this, and their hearts were sour.

At this time, Jing Ye in Xichun's arms pointed to a plate of mixed lettuce and babbled.

"Jiang Liangdi, the prince wants to eat lettuce, you give the prince vegetables." Pomegranate commanded.

Jiang Shuxian was originally dissatisfied with the unfair treatment that people were eating her and watching, but now she heard Pomegranate, a subordinate, arrogantly ordering her to do things, and she was unconvinced:

"You are a subordinate, what qualifications do you have to instruct me?"

"She instructed you not to move, so did I do it?" Xiao Wenxuan raised his head, and his eyes pierced Jiang Shuxian like an arrow.

Jiang Shuxian was stabbed by his eyes, and couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly lowered her head and replied: "The prince commanded, and the concubine didn't dare to disobey." ”

Jiang Shuxian reluctantly came to the table, took a lettuce and handed it to Xichun.

Xichun glanced at her, picked up the lettuce and soaked it in the clear water that had been prepared at hand, and then controlled the water before sending it to Jing Ye.

Jing Ye can now accurately put the contents in his mouth accurately, and he eats the lettuce with relish.

"Concubine Zuo, you try this wine-stuffed steamed duck, it tastes good."

Su Muling saw that Zuo Yan was eating very restrainedly, so he only picked up the two dishes at hand, and thoughtfully persuaded him.

Zuo Yan was flattered and quickly got up to thank him.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

"Sit down, it's all family, you don't have to be formal." Su Muling smiled at her kindly.

Zuo Yan's personality, Su Muling, has already inquired. is quiet and peaceful, and admires Xiao Wenxuan in his heart, but he never moves his crooked eyes. For such a person, Su Muling is willing to live in peace with her.

"Wu Liangyuan, you can give the wine-stuffed steamed duck to the left concubine." Pomegranate roll call.

With Jiang Shuxian's precedent, Wu Yuer didn't dare to stab and obediently gave Zuo Yan a dish.

"Si Liangyuan, cloth rose tofu for the crown princess."

"Chang Liangyuan, give the prince osmanthus fish sticks."

"Jiang Liangdi's son wants to eat auspicious fruits."

……

At the end of the meal, the concubines led by Jiang Shuxian were not idle, and they were instructed by the pomegranate.

When the meal was finished, Pomegranate summoned the palace maid.

The ladies carried trays with cups for gargling and cups for spitting water, as well as warm hand washing water and clean veils.

I saw the pomegranate come to Su Muling's side, pick up the mouthwash in the palace maid's tray and bend his knees and hand it to Su Muling's mouth.

Su Muling took a sip, and Pomegranate quickly handed over the empty cup. Su Muling covered his mouth and spit out the water. Pomegranate put down the cup and rolled up her sleeves for Su Muling.

Su Muling cleaned his hands with warm water and wiped the handkerchief handed over by Pomegranate. Pomegranate put her sleeves on her again.

"How many of you remember? Chang Liangyuan, you come to serve His Royal Highness the Prince. Pomegranate stepped aside.

This job is better than serving people to eat, and it is an opportunity to please the prince, Chang Ruolan is happy.

I saw her come to Xiao Wenxuan step by step, and according to the appearance of a pomegranate, she took the mouthwash and bent down and handed it to Xiao Wenxuan, smiling coquettishly: "Prince, please rinse your mouth." ”

Xiao Wenxuan didn't look at her, and took a sip.

It was the first time Chang Ruolan looked at the prince so closely, and she saw him: a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold handsomeness. Deep dark eyes with a charming glow. The thick eyebrows, the tall nose, and the beautiful lip shape all show nobility and elegance.

Chang Ruolan was stunned for a while, and forgot that Xiao Wenxuan still had mouthwash in her mouth and was waiting for her to pick it up......

"Chang Liangyuan? Chang Liangyuan. Pomegranate hurriedly came over and slapped her by the arm.

Chang Ruolan's waist and eyes hurt and shouted at the pomegranate: "You dead slave dare to beat me? With a wave of his hand, he slapped Pomegranate in the face......

Where can the pomegranate let her fight, as soon as her hand moved, Chang Ruolan's wrist was grabbed by her.

With the pain in her wrist, Chang Ruolan shouted: "Dead minion, you dare to fight back?" I'll let you know today how good I am. ”

Chang Ruolan's other hand struck at the pomegranate with the voice.

Before the pomegranate could dodge, Xiao Wenxuan couldn't help it, grabbed her arm and grabbed the pomegranate, and spit a mouthful of water directly on her face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The mouthwash ran down Chang Ruolan's face, wetting her hair and squandering the makeup on her face.

"Pull it down and hit the twenty big boards." Xiao Wenxuan pulled the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and threw it directly on Chang Ruolan's face.

Chang Ruolan then remembered what she should do. In a panic, she threw herself on her knees and pleaded bitterly:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Ruolan is wrong, Ruolan knows that she is wrong. Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare Ruolan this time......"
