Chapter 41: The Family Banquet and Murder (I)

The next morning.

Su Qin hurriedly ran in, and when she saw An Linghan still asleep, she couldn't help but shout anxiously.

"Miss, get up quickly, today is a family banquet, the prince has been waiting outside for a long time, and if you don't get up, it's really late."

An Linghan opened his eyes in a daze, and his face was anxious.

"What time is it now?"

"Miss, Miss is already late!"

Seeing Su Qin's anxious words, An Linghan was so excited that he hurriedly jumped off the bed,

She hurriedly ran to the dresser and asked Suqin to help clean up.

Chu Xingze, who was waiting outside, had an innocent smile on his face, but his hands were secretly clenched.

This dead woman, don't you know that today is a family feast? Why hasn't it come out yet.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have black lines on his head.

Another half an hour passed, and An Linghan hadn't come out yet.

Just when he was smiling "innocent" and was about to go to An Linghan, An Linghan, who had been late, finally came out.

A flash of surprise flashed in Chu Xingze's eyes.

An Linghan in front of him was wearing a pink water-sleeved fairy dress, an emerald green jade pendant around his waist, and there seemed to be a sea of stars in his eyes, and he walked towards Chu Xingze with a smile on his face.

"Xianggong, I've kept you waiting." An Linghan smiled softly and gently touched Chu Xingze's head.

"The lady is so beautiful, I like it so much." Chu Xingze pursed his lips, as if he was a little embarrassed.

An Linghan smiled lightly, and said in his heart that Chu Xingze was a child.

When they arrived at the palace, the people were almost all there, and the emperor came out and announced the beginning of the family feast.

After admiring your wonderful dance for a while, Chu Jingping, the third prince, took the lead in standing up and said respectfully: "I heard that my father has been in an irritable mood recently, it must be because of the drought in Jingzhou, Erchen specially searched for a few days and found a piece of sandalwood."

Although this sandalwood is small, it is very effective and very precious, we do not have it here, and it is difficult to find in other countries. ”

After hearing this, the emperor was very interested in asking them to present it, sniffed it gently, and then said with a hearty smile: "The things that the emperor gave me are really excellent, just smelling them, my mood is very comfortable." ”

"If my father likes it, it's fine." Chu Jingping said modestly.

After he sat down, he glanced at An Linghan provocatively, as if to say: This thing is his, and it is useless for her to waste so much effort before.

An Linghan raised his eyebrows easily, stretched out his white hand, and then raised his middle finger.

This gesture made Chu Jingping stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant, but looking at An Linghan's expression was definitely not a good meaning.

He also pretended to learn it, and raised his middle finger with a very disdainful expression.

An Linghan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This Chu Jingping didn't know what it meant, so he learned it, and he looked like a golden second and fifth old, and with his invincible expression, it was simply ridiculous.

Chu Jingping saw An Linghan smile like this, and his expression was stunned for a while, but he quickly turned around and stopped looking at An Linghan.

Seeing the two of them's "secret crossing autumn waves", Chu Xingze was very unhappy, and his brows were twisted into a line.

Could it be that An Linghan still likes Chu Jingping?

So what is he, a fool who has been fooled by him all day long?

Thinking of this, Chu Xingze's heart instantly became unbalanced.

He grabbed An Linghan's hand coquettishly, and said softly: "Don't look at that big villain, lady, look at me, I look much better than him." ”

An Linghan, who came back to his senses, couldn't help but laugh, touched Chu Xingze's head dotingly, and said, "The prince of our family is the most beautiful person in the world, and that Chu Jingping can't even compare to you with a finger." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xingze couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and smiled more and more happily.

The concubine looked at the scene not far away, clenched her hands tightly, and the anger in her eyes seemed to pop out.

She turned to the side and said to her daughter Chu Ying beside her, "Have you remembered everything that the palace gave you before?" ”

Chu Ying blinked her beautiful eyes, nodded seriously, and said, "Remember, mother, I'll do it now." ”

After speaking, she stood up, first gave the emperor a big gift, and then began to praise vigorously, which made the emperor smile after a while.

"But the son has carefully prepared it for you, and after my father uses it, he will definitely be as blessed as the East China Sea, and his life will be better than Nanshan, and his spirit will be better and his pressure will be reduced."

"Our Ying'er's mouth is sweet again." The Emperor's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.

"It's obviously good for my father." Chu Ying smiled and said obediently: "I just don't know, what gifts did the Seventh Emperor Brother and the Seventh Emperor Sister-in-law give to their father." ”

When the emperor heard this, the smile on his face instantly retracted a little.

instantly understood that Chu Ying was deliberately finding fault.

How can Chu Xingze, a foolish prince, prepare gifts, although the seventh princess is a heroine among women, but his sons are not fuel-efficient lamps, I am afraid that life will not be easy.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the concubine with a reproachful face, as if to say that he should take care of Chu Ying.

The concubine secretly clenched her fists and smiled reluctantly.

"Ying'er, you have also seen the current situation of your seventh emperor brother and seventh emperor sister-in-law, the most important thing in the gift is the heart, it doesn't matter if you want me or not."

Unexpectedly, Chu Ying reluctantly said: "I have long heard that the Seventh Emperor Sister-in-law is smart, so I won't even forget this matter, is it because this matter is too insignificant?" Or do you think they don't need to pay attention to their father's affairs? ”

At this moment, the emperor's face was a little ugly.

Although he knew that this was Chu Ying's deliberate provocation, as a son of heaven, he couldn't lose face.

At such an embarrassing moment, An Linghan slowly stood up, owed, and said: "Since you know that today is a palace banquet, how can your sons not prepare gifts, my father is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, and no one can forget my father." ”

Chu Ying's face was instantly ugly, and she said unconvinced: "Then why didn't you take it out just now, could it be that you just found something to prevaricate us." ”

Yesterday, they had already heard that An Linghan and Chu Jingping didn't grab the gifts, and they bought some trinkets for their daughters and returned empty-handed, so they dared to be so presumptuous.

Now when I hear that she has a gift, won't my face change drastically?

After An Linghan heard this, he said without humility or arrogance: "There are no good things in the Seven Princes' Mansion, the gifts given by the royal brothers before are very precious, and the sons are embarrassed to take them out if they think that the gifts are not as good as them."

I thought that I would take it out in private later, but now that Princess Chu Ying has said it, Erchen can only reluctantly take out this thin gift. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was instantly interested, and the last time he happened to the queen, he admired this daughter-in-law very much, and now he was looking forward to what he would do.

Even Chu Xingze was looking forward to it, if An Linghan didn't bring a gift, he had actually secretly prepared a gift, as long as they dared to make trouble, he would take it out.

In the matter of the concubine before, they had already made a feud, and he expected that the concubine would definitely make things difficult for them at this banquet, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

I saw An Linghan unhurriedly said to Su Qin behind him: "Present the gift." ”

Everyone was looking forward to it for a while, and the queen, who was sick, snorted coldly, not knowing what kind of fame this woman could make, no matter how good she was, she would never go back to Ah Ping, who was better than her.
