Chapter 136: Banquet Variables

Meng Yanwan pulled out a smile, "My daughter just looked at the wrong eye, and she made a fuss that made her mother worried." ”

Mrs. Taiwei couldn't see that Meng Yanwan's mood was wrong, but she didn't debunk Meng Yanwan, nor did she get to the bottom of it, she sighed slightly and didn't ask again.

It's just that she has a little doubt in her heart, even if her daughter has a knot in her heart for the Yun'an County Lord of the Fenyang Palace, she shouldn't be so surprised and flustered, and she doesn't know why.

Meng Yanwan lowered her head and ate a piece of snack, and couldn't help but look up slightly towards the Fenyang Palace, and this time she looked up at Ruan Tingge's gaze.

Ruan Qingge's gaze was clear, and he didn't have much temperature, which frightened Meng Yanwan so much that the chopsticks almost fell off her hand.

Meng Yanwan clenched her chopsticks and nodded at Ruan Tingge calmly.

And Ruan Qinge looked at Meng Yanwan quietly for a while, until Meng Yanwan's scalp was numb, she looked away lightly.

When Ruan Tingge stopped looking at her, Meng Yanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but after stabilizing her mind, she felt resentment and dissatisfaction because of Ruan Tingge's attitude just now.

The main seat is very lively at the moment, the princes and princesses are giving the queen mother tea in turn and saying auspicious words, the young princes are innocent and cute, making the queen mother smile from ear to ear, very happy.

Ling Botao looked at his queen mother happily, and a smile appeared on his face, but after his eyes swept to the empty seat of the first row of princes' seats, his face sank slightly.

Concubine Wan looked at the door frequently, and her well-maintained face was a little anxious, and she muttered softly, "These minions are not dedicated, they are all slippery and lazy, and they haven't seen any news after going out for so long." ”

The queen didn't hear the concubine on the side, with a dignified smile on her face, as if she was engrossed in watching the excitement and festivities of the queen mother.

The queen's palace maid gently walked behind the queen at this time, leaned over and whispered a few words in the queen's ear.

The queen's face remained unchanged, and after being silent for a while, she whispered a few words to the big palace maid, who nodded and retreated gently.

The queen's eyes were not as calm as her face, and she set her eyes on the place where everyone in the Fenyang Palace was.

At this time, the palace people sent out by Ling Botao before also came back, and the palace people looked anxious, and they came forward to salute Ling Botao with sweat on their foreheads and said, "Your Majesty, the slave has found the sixth prince." ”

Seeing that the palace person's face was wrong, Ling Botao frowned, "Where is the sixth prince?" Why didn't you come back? ”

The palace people hesitated, and turned their eyes for help to the personal eunuch Li Gonggong next to Ling Botao, who was Gonggong Li's apprentice.

Seeing the appearance of his apprentice, Gonggong Li had a bad heart, it seemed that the situation of the sixth prince was not quite right, and he was thinking of a way to speak, but Ling Botao was already impatient, "I'm asking you, don't answer quickly!" ”

The palace man knelt on the ground and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince... The six princes are in a side hall in the northwest corner of the Liqing Palace, and it seems... Seems to have drunk too much, disheveled and talking nonsense..."

Ling Botao's face became darker and darker, the palace people sweated on their foreheads, and they continued stubbornly, "The slave let people guard outside the hall, and then came back... Then I came back and asked His Majesty for instructions, whether to send the six princes back to the prince's mansion or..."

Ling Botao twisted his eyebrows and shouted with a calm face, "How can you drink like this!" What kind of thing that didn't have long eyes brought the Six Princes to the palace so far away? ”

The palace man's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”

"Useless stuff!" Ling Botao glanced at the civil and military officials and the families of the officials below, and could only suppress his anger, and ordered to Gonggong Li, "You go and see the situation of the six princes, if not, send someone to send him back." ”

Gonggong Li hurriedly responded and retreated with the palace man.

The queen sat next to Ling Botao, and also heard the report of the palace people, and at this time she opened her mouth to comfort, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, although it is not yet time, since the sixth prince has drunk too much, he still has to go back and have a good rest, and the palace people will arrange it." ”

Ling Botao snorted coldly, adding a hint of displeasure, "Worried? I'm not worried about him! This sixth man first smashed the wine pot at the banquet and made a fool of himself, but now he can't come back after drinking too much, and his behavior is really more and more ridiculous! ”

"Rest, I think he might as well rest all the time, it's better not to appear in front of me!" The more Ling Botao spoke, the more angry he became, and he dropped this sentence fiercely.

"Your Majesty is angry." The queen's voice was gentle, with a soothing tone. "Today is a happy day, Your Majesty, don't be angry."

Seeing that the empress was looking at herself with concern, Ling Botao's mood calmed down a little, and he reluctantly said, "What the empress said is that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's not care about these messy things." ”

Although Concubine Wan Guifei was sitting not far from the dragon seat, the voice in the hall was slightly noisy at this time, and the voice of the palace person was not loud, she didn't hear what the palace person said clearly, and only heard Ling Botao's words with anger.

She knew that it was related to Ling Chengxi, the sixth prince, so she couldn't help but leave her seat, walked to Ling Botao's side, and asked after saluting, "Your Majesty, have you found Xi'er?" ”

Ling Botao was already suppressing his anger, but he didn't expect Concubine Wan to come over in a daze to ask about Ling Chengxi.

He sank his face, and the teacup in his hand fell heavily on the dining table, "Xi'er Xi'er, can you call Xi'er?" You are still the daughter of the Cui family, you don't know how to respect and humble positions at all, and you will learn more from the queen in the future! ”

Concubine Wan had never been scolded like this, she was stunned for a while, and the expression on her face changed several times, surprised, ashamed, and jealous.

Her eyes were red and trembled, and she said, "Why is the emperor so angry, the concubines really don't understand." ”

Ling Botao shouted this sentence and regretted it a little, and glanced at the ministers sitting below, and some of the people who were close seemed to notice the movement on the main seat.

But he has always loved face, and since the words have been spoken, he will no longer explain one or two, and can only look at the queen.

The queen opened her mouth and said to Concubine Wan, "Concubine Wan, the sixth prince has now been sent back to the prince's mansion, you don't have to worry too much, it's better to go back to your seat first." ”

Concubine Wan was really attracted by this news, and hurriedly asked, "Xi'er... Why were the six princes sent back to the prince's mansion? What happened? Didn't he just go to change his clothes? ”

She was worried, could it be that something happened to Xi'er? Why can't I even come to the banquet.

Concubine Wan asked a few more questions, but the queen had not answered, Ling Botao became impatient again when she listened, and said coldly, "Concubine Wan, go back to your seat." ”

Concubine Wan had to keep her mouth shut, feeling ashamed and resentful in her heart, today is the second time that the emperor has not given her face.
