Chapter 153: Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at the palace is more lively than in previous years, and there are more people at the banquet than in previous years.
After Emperor Yun, Empress Chu, and Empress Dowager Liu came, the banquet officially began.
Chu Xiping This is the first time to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, Emperor Yun in order to show his generosity, specially said a few more words to him, plus after all, he is the brother of Queen Chu, so all the officials toasted Chu Xiping for a while.
For a while, the father and son of the Chu family were in the limelight at the banquet.
Empress Dowager Liu looked at this situation, although the expression on her face was still peaceful, but there was a cold glow hidden in her eyes.
Before, because of Liu Wushuang's words, she originally wondered if Empress Chu had really moved her mind and wanted to consolidate the Chu family's position in the court. In the past few days, I vaguely heard the news that Queen Chu seemed to want to marry Yun Qingyan to her nephew, and my heart was immediately confirmed.
The daughters who grew up beside her are willing to marry to the border, and it seems that Queen Chu has really made up her mind in her heart to help the Chu family.
It's just that since you want to help the Chu family consolidate its position in the court, just marrying a princess is naturally not enough insurance, and the best way is to let the future queen be able to listen to her. Empress Chu has been in the palace for so many years, and she believes that she will not be unable to understand it.
Now it seems that he was really negligent before, and he actually forgot to guard against Empress Chu's thoughts.
Slowly retracting her gaze, Empress Dowager Liu took a sip of the wine in the glass, and began to think about how to stop it in her heart.
And how did Empress Chu know what Empress Dowager Liu was thinking, and now all she was thinking about was hoping to let Yun Qingyan marry Chu Heng.
If it was just a thought before, now she is more and more convinced of this idea, and after coming into contact with it these days, she feels more and more that Chu Heng, a child, can really be entrusted for life, and he will definitely be good to Yan'er in the future.
"Queen, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I and the queen will also have a drink. It has been really hard for the queen to take care of the harem for so many years. Emperor Yun took the wine glass and turned his head to look at Queen Chu, since he had already said this, he naturally expressed the intention of rebuilding the old friendship with Queen Chu.
Empress Chu came back to her senses, looked at Emperor Yun, and picked up the wine glass in front of her.
"Whatever the emperor said, these are all things that the concubines should do."
Even if she still had a pimple in her heart, she naturally couldn't refute Emperor Yun's face in this situation.
Yun Qingyan was eating the dishes in front of him, and at the same time looking at the situation of Emperor Yun and Empress Chu above, his eyes were a little obscure.
It's easy to reconcile, it's too difficult to be the beginning, I'm afraid that now whether it's Emperor Yun or Queen Chu, they all know in their hearts that there is already a crack between the two people, and there is already a mustard in their hearts, and the reason why they can still maintain it like this now is just because of the identities of the two.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingyan retracted his gaze and sighed softly in his heart. As soon as he was about to pick up the wine glass on the table, he felt the gaze from the other side.
When she raised her head, she happened to meet Feng Yihan's smiling gaze, as if she was comforting her, and she didn't have to think too much.
Yun Qingyan gently hooked the corners of his mouth, as if no matter what thoughts he had in his heart, he could always be seen through by Feng Yihan for the first time.
Raise the glass and salute from afar.
Feng Yihan also held the wine glass and raised his hand slightly.
At this moment, most of the officials were greeting, and no one noticed the movements of the two, but An Jingxuan started to enter the banquet, although it seemed that he was just drinking and chatting, but his attention had always been on Yun Qingyan's body, and now seeing Yun Qingyan and Feng Yihan toasting each other, the coldness in his heart was a little more.
Yun Qingyan, obviously it should be his!
After the banquet was over, An Jingxuan glanced at Yun Qingyan again, and wanted to leave the palace with a sullen head.
But as soon as he left the banquet venue, Yun Xiyue chased after him.
"Brother Jingxuan, you wait!"
Yun Xiyue hurriedly walked in front of An Jingxuan, "Brother Jingxuan, I have something to tell you." ”
An Jingxuan glanced at the direction of the banquet, and nodded at Yun Xiyue, "Let's change places." ”
On the path of the Imperial Garden, Yun Xiyue couldn't wait to speak: "Brother Jingxuan, have you heard about those rumors in the palace recently?" ”
"What rumors?" An Jingxuan asked.
"The queen mother has the heart to marry Yun Qingyan to her nephew, that is, that Chu Heng." Yun Xiyue paused for a moment and glanced at An Jingxuan, "Do you know this matter Brother Jingxuan?" ”
An Jingxuan's steps paused, and a trace of darkness crossed his eyes, but soon everything returned to normal.
"Who are you listening to about this?"
"Now there are discussions in the palace in private, and I also sent someone to inquire quietly, I heard that the queen mother has the intention to marry Yun Qingyan to the border, I don't know if it's true or not."
If this matter is true, it will naturally be better, once Yun Qingyan marries to the border, it will be difficult to come back. At that time, I won't have to see this human nail in the flesh again.
An Jingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but his heart was full of horror, he didn't expect the queen mother to have such a plan.
"This matter may just be some rumors, and since there has not been a holy decree, it is naturally not credible. After all, the eldest princess is the biological daughter of the queen's mother, how could she be willing to marry someone so far. ”
Although he opened his mouth like this, An Jingxuan's heart began to feel uneasy. If the queen really has such thoughts, then he must stop it, and he must not let Yan'er marry to the border!
"But I secretly saw the appearance of the queen mother at the banquet today, and she has indeed been looking at Yun Qingyan and her nephew." Yun Xiyue paused for a moment, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, "If Yun Qingyan can really marry the border pass, it will naturally be a good thing, Brother Jingxuan, you should think so in your heart, right?" ”
Yun Xiyue's tone was a little tentative, although Brother Jing Xuan had already said in front of her before that he had nothing to do with Yun Qingyan. But I don't know why, she always feels a little uneasy in her heart.
Brother Jing Xuan's heart shouldn't be able to let go of Yun Qingyan anymore, right?
Feeling the scrutiny in Yun Xiyue's gaze, An Jingxuan's expression was as usual, "This is natural, there is nothing between me and the eldest princess for a long time, not to mention that the two of us have a marriage contract now." No matter what the queen thinks, it has nothing to do with me. ”
Hearing this, Yun Xiyue instantly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Brother Jingxuan, I am relieved to hear you say this."
An Jingxuan smiled, "You are now at ease for the concubine Niangniang, don't think nonsense, is it all now?" Do you still not trust me in your heart? ”
"Of course not, Brother Jingxuan, of course I trust you." Yun Xiyue hurriedly spoke, "I just want to tell you about this matter, and I don't mean anything else." ”
An Jingxuan looked at Yun Xiyue and continued to smile and nodded, but his heart was cold......
