Chapter 132: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet
If it continues like this, I don't know what Ruan Tiange will be like in a few years.
"I didn't make fun of my sister-in-law, sister-in-law don't wronged me," Ruan Tingge pouted, and said with a sweet smile, "Sister-in-law has a beautiful face and a blue heart, the more I look at it, the more I like it, the eldest brother is really blessed." ”
Although she knew that Ruan Tingge was coaxing herself, the corners of Fang Jirou's mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she felt very comfortable.
Fang Jirou glanced at Ruan Qingge lightly, and deliberately pretended to be vigilant and asked, "You have such a sweet mouth today, do you ask me to do something?" ”
"I have to tell you in advance, I can't control Jiang Qing's affairs, you have to go to your eldest brother to talk." Fang Jirou added.
"Could it be that in my sister-in-law's heart, am I such a person?" Ruan Tingge snorted slightly, "I've always had such a sweet mouth, and it's the same when I don't ask for help." ”
Both laughed at the same time.
Ling Chengji was sitting upright in his seat, even on a festive and lively festival such as Chinese New Year's Eve, his face was still cold and solemn, giving people an unapproachable aura.
Ling Chenghei sat beside the fifth prince Ling Chengli, he had thick eyebrows and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and was very handsome, but it was not the same as the appearance of ordinary Dongyun people, his mother concubine was a woman of the Akara tribe in the north, so Ling Chengli had half foreign blood.
Ling Chengli secretly complained in his heart at this time, because he sat Ling Chengxi on his left, and Ling Chengxi sat on his right.
These two big Buddhas have been fighting in the court in the past few months, and the fight is in full swing, and the two of them can still maintain the appearance of brothers, friends and brothers on the surface. But after the position of commander of the forbidden army was snatched by Ling Chengsi some time ago, Ling Chengxi didn't even do superficial work, and seeing Ling Chengsi was like seeing an enemy.
At this time, Ling Chengli was sandwiched between the two of them, and he only felt like he was on pins and needles.
He has always been cautious on weekdays, and he just wants to be an idle rich and noble prince in the future, take his mother and concubine out of the palace to support him, and the mother and son can live a peaceful life. He avoids this kind of partisanship, and does not want to mix in the muddy waters at all.
Ling Chengsi didn't pay attention to Ling Chengli's feelings beside him, nor did he care about Ling Chengxi's piercing gaze, and sat in his position expressionlessly.
Until a figure walked into the hall, Ling Chenghe's gaze couldn't help but fall on that figure.
I saw that the woman who entered the hall was supporting an elderly lady, she looked close and smiling, and was talking to the old lady with a side face.
The woman was wearing a set of light white and dark red peony cloud brocade palace clothes, the palace clothes were bright and bright, very good-looking, but they could not withstand the bright light of the woman's face, but made the woman's face more bright and delicate.
It's only been a month or two that I haven't seen Ruan Tingge, and her appearance is much more beautiful.
Ling Chengsi is not a person who values appearance, but at this time, he was also slightly stunned by Ruan Qingge's appearance, and that thought came to his heart.
I don't know if her injuries have healed, since she can enter the palace to attend the dinner, she must be fine...
The thoughts in Ling Chengsi's mind were a little chaotic, and a pair of black eyes stared at Ruan Qingge tightly.
Seeing that Ruan Tingge had already sat down, Ling Chengsi knew that it was a little inappropriate for him to stare at Ruan Tingge all the time, so he could only look away and look away.
He inadvertently glanced at Ling Chengyu's location, and when he saw that Ling Chengyu seemed to be distracted there, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he followed Ling Chengyu's gaze and found that Ling Chengyu was also looking at Ruan Chengge.
An unprovoked anger welled up in Ling Chenghe's heart, and when he saw Ling Chengyu's eyes looking at Ruan Tingge with a little appreciation and obsession, he couldn't help but purse his lips tightly and force himself to look away.
At the time of the tea, all the officials and their families had already entered the hall and taken their seats, and the hall was full of people, but no one was noisy, and everyone paid attention to keeping quiet, even if they talked occasionally, they also lowered their voices.
With the eunuch's singing, the emperor and queen mother walked into the palace.
Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted, and said in unison, "See the emperor, see the queen mother, see the queen." ”
"The ministers are exempt from courtesy." Ling Botao smiled, looking very good.
He looked at the many officials below with great enthusiasm, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, a good day once a year, everyone does not have to be restrained, enjoy delicious food and wine, and welcome the New Year with Shu!" ”
Hearing Ling Botao's words, everyone should say yes in unison.
Several palace people played musical instruments in the hall, and with the music, a group of dancers began to dance the traditional dance of Dongnonome, and the banquet officially began.
The ladies of the palace carefully passed the dishes back and forth between the many meals, and it was not long before the table was filled with all kinds of cold dishes, and the hot dishes could not be served until the song and dance were over.
Ling Botao glanced around the hall a few times before turning his gaze to the people of Nanning.
He saw that everyone in Nanning was sitting together, and Wen Ziran, who was the leader, was still wearing a white robe, very plain and simple, and it seemed that he was not here to participate in the banquet.
Ling Botao couldn't help frowning and snorted coldly in his heart.
This boy from Nanning always pretended to be tall, and he clearly didn't take me seriously, and really wanted to put him in prison and torture him before he was angry.
The queen noticed that the expression on Ling Botao's face was changing at this time, and she sighed in her heart, she faintly looked away and looked at where everyone in the Fenyang Palace was.
"Ge'er, you put the wine glass down." Ruan Qiguang saw his sister pouring wine there again, and his face couldn't help but darken.
"Why?" Ruan Tingge put down the wine jug and muttered, "Didn't you hear the emperor say, enjoy food and wine tonight, I am following the will." ”
Fang Jirou saw that Ruan Qiguang's face was darker, and she laughed in her heart, but she still helped her husband and said, "Qinge, your brother also cares about your body, and your body has only been good for a few days, so it is indeed not suitable for drinking." ”
Ruan Tingge still gave Fang Jirou face, looked at the glass of wine that had just been poured with some pity, sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law." ”
Fang Jirou smiled softly and poured a cup of tea for Ruan Tingge, "You can eat more vegetables, if you are thirsty, this flower tea is also delicious, and it is also good for your body." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ruan Qingge smiled sweetly at Fang Jirou again, but didn't pay attention to Ruan Qiguang, but glared at him.
Ruan Qiguang knew that Ruan Tingge was still having trouble with him because of learning martial arts, and he didn't care, but when he saw that Ruan Tingge was obedient and didn't touch the wine, he put his mind at ease.
The southeast side of the seats of the Fenyang Wangfu and others is where the Meng Mansion is located.
Meng Yanwan sat at the same table with her mother, Mrs. Meng, and the other young ladies of the Meng family sat behind them.
Meng Yanwan had been paying attention to Ruan Tingge's movements, and when she saw Ruan Tingge talking to Fang Jirou with a smile, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
