Chapter 7: The Queen Mother's Birthday Banquet (1)

On the carriage, Xiaolian saw a square wooden box in Ye Lingxi's arms, and she was really curious. In the past few days, the princess has been preparing for her birthday, and no one is allowed to help, not even to come close. Xiaolian really couldn't think of what birthday gift the princess would prepare for the queen mother.

"Lady, what's in the box you're holding? Is it pastry? ”

Ye Lingxi has become accustomed to Murong Cheng'an's childlike nature these days. In his world, in addition to good food, it is fun.

"This is a birthday gift for your imperial grandmother."

"What is a birthday gift? Is it delicious? ”

"Poof!"

Ye Lingxi was amused by Murong Cheng'an's three sentences of delicious appearance.

"Confidentiality! You'll know when the time comes! ”

Ye Lingxi and Murong Chengan have been together for a long time, and they have become a little childlike. In fact, the birthday gift she prepared was a fake bouquet made of various colored paper. How can a woman not like to collect flowers? Ye Lingxi believes that the women of this dynasty should be the same as modern women in the matter of collecting flowers.

But Ye Lingxi didn't dare to use real flowers, for fear that the shelf life of flowers would be limited, and if the petals withered when he arrived at the birthday banquet and took out the gifts, it would become a sin.

But fake flowers do not wilt and can be stored for a long time. It is difficult to make a small handicraft like a bouquet Ye Lingxi, the important thing is that the paper of various colors is difficult to do. In the end, Ye Lingxi soaked the paper in various colors of vegetable juice, and then dried it, so that he could barely force the colored paper, although it could not compare with the achievements of modern industry, but in this place, Ye Lingxi believed that the Queen Mother would be satisfied! She couldn't help but secretly look forward to the Queen Mother's surprise expression when she received the gift.

The carriage slowly drove to the palace gate. In Tianhe Kingdom, the carriage cannot drive into the palace, but can only wait at the palace gate, and the road in the palace must be walked. Last time, Ye Lingxi patronized and learned the rules of tea from Xiaolian, but he didn't take a good look at the scenery of the palace. This time, when Ye Lingxi walked on the road in the palace and looked at the majestic buildings of the palace, he felt a spontaneous respect for the imperial power, and the suppression of that kind of power made people can't help but worship.

The birthday banquet of the Queen Mother was held in the Shoukang Palace next to the Imperial Garden. Shoukang Palace, as the name suggests, Fushou Ankang, is specially built for the royal birthday banquet, no one lives in this Shoukang Palace on weekdays, only the birthday banquet is opened.

Ye Lingxi listened to Xiaolian whisper to her as she walked to introduce the various palaces along the road, while Murong Chengan followed Ye Lingxi quietly, so quiet that Ye Lingxi was a little uncomfortable. Just as Ye Lingxi wanted to ask Murong Chengan what was going on, a shrill female voice came.

"Yo, isn't this my sister Lingxi? It's so beautiful today! ”

Ye Lingxi was stabbed by this piercing voice and frowned. I don't know who it is, but it's annoying to listen to the voice, and it's a in a!

Xiaolian was used to the state of her princess "not knowing anything", and before Ye Lingxi asked her, Xiaolian whispered to her in Ye Lingxi's ear: "This is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Yuzhen, the current second princess." ”

At this time, Ye Yuzhen had also walked in front of Ye Lingxi. The person is like his voice, and his whole body exudes the smell of a green tea. The appearance is not ugly, but the temperament is really foul, full of headdresses, flowery branches, for fear that others will not know how many headdresses she has, and I don't know if her neck hurts. Ye Lingxi decided that she couldn't be cowardly, in the face of this kind of person, the more she coaxed, the more she would arouse the evil in her human nature, and she would bully you even more.

"My brother and sister are called wrong, now this princess is no longer your fourth sister, you should call me 'imperial sister-in-law'."

Ye Lingxi raised his arrogant head, only glanced at Ye Yuzhen, and stopped looking at her.

Ye Yuzhen didn't expect Ye Lingxi, who was trembling when she saw herself on weekdays, to be so tough today, and she also sarcastically mocked herself in disguise for not knowing the number of etiquette. She has been in the palace all the time, and she has not received the news that Ye Lingxi will show her majesty in the Prime Minister's Mansion on the day she returns to the door.

"Heh, you don't pee and take a good look in the mirror, can you afford to be my sister-in-law? Ye Lingxi, don't think that now that you have become a princess, you will be majestic. You will be trampled under my feet forever, and one day, I will make you kneel in front of me and beg me to spare your life. ”

Ye Lingxi plucked out his ears and pretended to be puzzled: "Xiao An'an, did you hear a mad dog barking?" It's ugly! ”

Ye Lingxi will not be brave with Ye Yuzhen here.

Although Murong Chengan is stupid, there are times when he is very smart, such as at this time.

"Mmmm, lady, I heard it too! The mad dog not only barks badly, but also has bad breath, it stinks so bad, I can't stand it, lady, let's get out of here! ”

Murong Chengan covered his nose decently as he spoke, and finally simply dragged Ye Lingxi and ran away. Leaving Ye Yuzhen, who was stunned, wanted to be angry, but Murong Cheng'an and Ye Lingxi were gone.

It wasn't until they ran to a place where Ye Yuzhen couldn't be seen that Murong Chengan and Ye Lingxi stopped. The two who stopped looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

"Hahahahaha, Xiao An'an, you're so smart! The last knife is too powerful to make up hahahaha! ”

Murong Chengan received Ye Lingxi's praise, and his expression became even more proud.

"Lady, you are the first person to praise other people's cleverness! The lady is really the best and best person in the world. ”

Murong Chengan has always been stingy with his praise for Ye Lingxi.

After a small episode of mocking Ye Yuzhen, Ye Lingxi and his party continued to walk to Shoukang Palace.

The ministers of the DPRK and China and their families have almost arrived. When Ye Lingxi took Murong Chengan into the main hall of Shoukang Palace, all the ministers got up and knelt down to greet him. It can be seen that many people are loose and loose, and they don't have the respect they should have for the prince of the dynasty at all.

That's it, Ye Lingxi doesn't want to care about this, as long as she and Xiao An'an can live in peace, it's okay, she is from modern times, and she is not greedy for those powers.

"The emperor has arrived! The queen has arrived! ”

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

"The princes have arrived!"

……

The eunuch at the door made sharp announcements, one after another, which aroused goosebumps all over Ye Lingxi's body. As much as she would love to maintain respect for any profession, her physical reactions were uncontrollable.

Everyone knelt down to say goodbye, this was the first time Ye Lingxi had seen the Queen Mother and the princes. The emperor walked in the front, and then the queen supported the queen mother, looking like the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very harmonious. Ye Lingxi smiled secretly in his heart, this royal person is really good at pretending. With the queen's arrogant appearance in front of the emperor, how could the queen mother like a daughter-in-law like the queen?!

And then there are the princes. Ye Yuzhen must be holding the second prince Murong Lang. Ye Yuzhen's husband really has a virtue with her, with thief eyebrows, rat eyes, a scumbag, and an overindulgent appearance. In this way, can he still become a popular candidate for the crown prince? It seems that people really have to be able to reincarnate!

When passing by Ye Lingxi, Ye Yuzhen also deliberately hugged Murong Lang's arm, looking at Ye Lingxi with a look of smugness and embarrassment. Ye Lingxi was almost amused by Ye Yuzhen's performance. As for her obscene husband, it seems that someone will rob it. Don't give it to her for nothing!

There is also a person who looks like a prince behind Murong Lang. I don't know how many princes it is, but his appearance is very similar to Murong Cheng'an, but he is more immature than Murong Cheng'an. With a righteous face, a straight back, and a clear and clear temperament, Ye Lingxi was full of affection for this prince at once.

This time, the main lord arrived, and the banquet officially began.

The emperor was talking about some scenes, but Ye Lingxi was not interested, and he was thinking about himself. If we change it to modern times, it is probably "the first item of the meeting, and the son of the birthday boy will give a speech." ”

After a while, everyone began to offer gifts, which should be "Now for the second item of the conference, each guest will present a gift to the birthday star one by one." ”

After that, it should be "Let's move on to the third item of the conference, cabaret!" ”

After that, it should be "the fourth item of the conference, the birthday star's speech!" ”

Finally, the host's "I announce that this birthday party is a successful conclusion!" ”

There is no sense of disobedience! Hey, hey, hey......

Ye Lingxi thought about it, and unconsciously laughed. At this time, the emperor had just presented a gift to the queen mother, and the birthday gift prepared by the emperor was a rare jade, engraved with the word "Murong", which was the surname of Tianheguo.

Before the Queen Mother could accept the gift, Ye Lingxi's ridicule sounded in the hall. Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by Ye Lingxi.

"I wonder why Princess Ann is laughing?"

Of course, the queen will not let go of this good opportunity to make things difficult for Ye Lingxi.

Ye Lingxi secretly said in his heart that it was not good, why was he so careless, he actually laughed out loud, this time it was too embarrassing! No, it's not just a problem of embarrassment, it's not a problem of being on the board!

Ye Lingxi's heart turned a hundred times, and he soon thought of a solution.

"After returning to her mother, the concubine was happy. The jade that the emperor dedicated to the queen mother, according to the concubines, is not just because of the rarity of this jade itself. ”

"Oh? What else does the emperor mean? You say come and hear it. ”

Sure enough, as Ye Lingxi expected, the Queen Mother heard her words and stopped, and her curiosity was aroused. As long as the Queen Mother speaks, she can cover the queen over, so that she has no chance to find fault with herself!

"Back to the emperor's grandmother, the concubine is shallow, this piece of jade should be an incomparably hard diamond. Once formed, this jade never dissipates and can be preserved for thousands of years. Therefore, the concubine thinks that the emperor is taking the opportunity of the emperor's grandmother's birthday banquet to pray for my heaven and country, and bless my heaven and country with smooth weather and peace, and the peace of the country and the people, which has continued for thousands of years! ”

Whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, of course, they all like to listen to this kind of auspicious words that the country has been prosperous for 10,000 years. Ye Lingxi wanted to use this method to divert their attention, so that they could ignore the inappropriate laugh they had just made. It is estimated that the emperor will laugh and mix it up......

Who knows, something surprising to her happened.
