Chapter 241: Night Banquet
Spring is coming, and although the cold night in the north is as cold as ever, the snowflakes floating in the sky are gone.
The palace of Ferrand, shrouded in night, has added several huge neon spotlights, and the intoxicating lights complement each other, decorating the already glass-like palace like a fairyland.
Today is the banquet held by Her Royal Highness the Queen for the princess of Zhun Hong, and the celebrities and nobles of the Ferrand clan came to the palace early on a snowmobile.
The main venue of the banquet was the main hall of the palace, and the majesty and silence that permeated the daytime had been swept away, and the sound of the sheng flute curled out from the open door of the main hall, and decent and fashionable men and women were talking and laughing in the main hall.
"Zhilan, you're finally here!" A bewitching woman in her thirties walked over to Mao Zhilan.
Mao Zhilan saw that she bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Sister Li is good!"
Jiang Li held Mao Zhilan's hand intimately, revealing a look of grievance, "Where's my sister?" If you don't go to see your sister, your sister is not refreshed! ”
"Are you not refreshing, or is your brother not refreshing?" Yang Ying, who walked in with Mao Zhilan, said jokingly.
"You are a dead girl, you are tricky, I think Lan Mei's heartache has nothing to do with my brother?" Jiang Li's face turned red and she made a gesture and hit Yang Ying.
"Lan'er save me!" Yang Ying suddenly hid behind Mao Zhilan and said coquettishly: "They are all sisters, but the distance between relatives is clear in Sister Li!"
"Can't tell the difference?" Xu Jing, who was standing on the side, snorted and laughed: "Jiang Yi's heart is all about our beautiful Sister Mao, if you are secretly in love with Jiang Yi, Sister Li will be close to you immediately!"
"Just talk too much!" Jiang Li glared at Xu Jing, squinted at Jiang Yi who was standing not far away, and saw Jiang Yi looking at this place in a daze.
Jiang Li couldn't help sighing, since the last time they met on the ice field, her younger brother fell in love with Mao Zhilan at first sight, but Mao Zhilan is no longer what it used to be, and the royal relatives and nobles who went to Mao's house to propose marriage have been overwhelmed.
"Sister Lan, you're getting more and more beautiful!" Zhang Ying and a few girls dressed up in fancy clothes walked over.
"What a thing!" Mao Zhilan blushed and looked at the good-looking girls who came around.
She didn't expect that she, who was once not even qualified to participate in the banquet, became the focus of attention today.
"Alright, get out of the way! Today's protagonist hasn't come yet, what kind of system are you blocking here? Jiang Li stretched out her hand to pull away the crowd that surrounded her, and pulled Mao Zhilan, who was full of shyness, and walked over.
Mao Zhilan glanced at Jiang Li gratefully, and followed her to Jiang Yi's approach.
When Jiang Yi saw it, he was flattered and walked over, and Mao Zhilan hurriedly found a place not far from the main seat and sat down.
She casually looked at the hall with a warm atmosphere, her eyes secretly swept over Jiang Yi's face full of anticipation, she didn't know Jiang Yi's true feelings for herself, and she was not indifferent to Jiang Yi, but she was now Her Majesty's favorite woman, and her marriage should also be given by Her Majesty!
"Mao girl!" A man of medium stature walked up to Mao Zhilan's side and said politely: "In Xia Zhao Shutong, I am really lucky to be able to see Miss today!"
"Zhao Gongzi!" Mao Zhiruo said and stood up, this is the eldest son of Zhao Sima, and he is also a famous son-in-law of the Feilang clan.
"Mao girl, please take a seat!" Zhao Shutong hurriedly stepped forward, "My father often mentions Miss Mao's heroic deeds, saying that men don't have the courage of girls!" ”
"Zhao Gongzi has won the prize!" Mao Zhilan's face turned red, she never dreamed that Zhao Shutong, who was above the top, could take the initiative to talk to her, she couldn't even see Zhao Shutong's shadow before.
"Mao girl!" Zhao Shutong looked at Mao Zhilan's flushed face and said unhurriedly: "You and my father are officials in the same dynasty, and General Mao is deeply used by His Majesty, you and I will have to come and go often in the future!"
"This ......" Before Mao Zhilan could answer, the hall suddenly fell silent.
A woman wearing a lake blue gauze skirt moved lightly under the embrace of Fei Langyun and Fei Langchen, and came slowly, just like a fairy in the nine heavens, so beautiful that people dare not look at it directly!
"This is the future princess of the Hong family?" Zhao Shutong stared straight at the direction of the entrance and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes!" Mao Zhilan replied softly, and lowered her head in shame.
"Jiuxiao Yaochi Fairy Yan, Tianxiang Country is pretty and charming. No wonder His Royal Highness Hong Shizi deposed the master for her, and went on a killing spree, in exchange for me, in exchange for a smile from her, it is worth dying! After Zhao Shutong finished speaking, he left Mao Zhilan, who was full of embarrassment and embarrassment, and pushed aside the crowd and went to the front.
"Sister Fairy, let's sit there!" Fei Langyun pointed to the position on the right hand of the throne and said as if no one was around.
"Let's ask Your Highness Second Highness to sit there!" Yu Wei lightly opened her lips and said in a gentle manner.
"Today is a banquet specially held by my mother for my fairy sister, so naturally I have to sit on the main seat!" Fei Langyun pouted at the second brother and said imposingly.
Fei Langchen didn't say anything when he heard this, but just silently glanced at Yu Wei, who was like a green lotus, and could walk beside Yu Wei again, he was already like falling into the fog, where could he care about Yun Mei's ridicule.
Yu Wei was dragged by Fei Langyun to sit on the right hand of the throne, and not long after she sat down, the queen walked in from the white jade door behind the throne.
"See Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up and said in unison.
"Everyone's excuses!" The queen slowly walked to the throne and sat down, and said with a smile on her face: "Today, this king is shocked by Wei'er, and I hope that Wei'er and Hong'er will revitalize my Feilang clan together!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Yu Wei Tingting stood up curly and said lightly.
"Wei'er, no need to be polite!" The queen waved her hand downward, and said to Yu Wei with a loving face: "These are all the elite children of my Feilang clan, and they are also the courtiers of you and Hong'er in the future!"
When Yu Wei heard this, she looked around the hall, and the place where her eyes went was immediately gloomy, and the woman involuntarily lowered her head, and occasionally a few bold men greeted Yu Wei's eyes, and immediately lowered their eyelids unnaturally.
"Zhilan!" The queen looked at Mao Zhilan, who was a little cramped, and said, "You haven't come yet, meet Her Royal Highness the princess of Zhun Hong!"
"Yes!" Mao Zhilan stood up and responded, and walked nervously towards Yu Wei, she had heard Mao Zhiruo say that Yu Wei looked so wicked, and when she saw it today, she knew what beauty was.
"The courtiers see Her Royal Highness the Princess Zhun Hong!" Mao Zhilan bowed slightly at Yu Wei and shouted a little tremblingly.
"Alright, alright! Excuse me! Fei Langyun took the lead in saying before Yu Wei could answer: "You are our savior, and we don't need to make this great gift!"
"Thank you, Your Highness the County Lord!" Mao Zhilan said movingly: "The little girl just did her duty as a courtier, and she is not worthy of such love from His Royal Highness the county lord!"
"You saved us, of course I'm going to give you a long face!" Fei Langyun said fearlessly: "The county lord is the most rewarding and punishing, a slut like Mao Zhiruo should stay in prison for the rest of his life!"
"The courtiers are terrified!" Mao Zhilan's face changed from blue to white, Mao Ge was always her distant relative, and her father, who was far away at the border, called her over every day to say hello in order to attach himself to Mao Ge's power, but since Mao Ge's accident, her father didn't say a word.
"Yun'er!" Yu Wei gently tugged on Fei Langyun's skirt, and then raised the corners of her lips to Mao Zhilan, who was full of embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Yu Wei thank Miss Mao for her help, he will definitely ask Shu Yi to give a big gift to thank the girl!"
"The courtiers don't dare!" Mao Zhilan raised her eyes slightly, looking at Yu Wei's smile timidly, she had never seen such a moving smile, like a spring breeze blowing ripples in a pool.
"You are the great hero of my Ferrand clan, why don't you dare?" The queen looked at the trembling Mao Zhilan and said loudly: "You not only rescued Wei'er and Yun'er for this king, but also brought supreme beauty to your family, giving birth to daughters like a girl, and outperforming countless men!"
"Courtier, thank you for your majesty's compliment!" Mao Zhilan straightened her thin body, and a smile appeared on her melon seed face.
"Mother!" Fei Langchen stood up from his seat, "Today is the day of the recovery of Her Royal Highness the Quasi-Princess, the child respects the mother and the Quasi-Princess!" ”
"Good!" The queen took a sip of her glass happily.
Since Ouyang Cen rejected her appointment, she turned her target to Yu Wei, as long as she could close the distance between herself and Yu Wei, Hong'er would be able to be used by her.
Therefore, he asked Steward Zhou to plan this grand dinner, the purpose of which was to let Yuwei appear in front of everyone as the princess of Zhun Hong.
She half-squinted her eyes and looked at Yu Wei who was as calm as water, and Yu Wei, who had regained her former radiance, was like a snow lotus blooming on the cliff wall, and the beauty made the neon on the top of the hall lose its color.
She raised her head and drank the pure osmanthus in the wine glass, with such a woman by Hong'er's side, she would definitely be able to help the arrogant Hong'er reach the pinnacle of power.
The thought that in the near future, she would be able to trample Erdo Kailuo under her feet, she couldn't help but show the pleasure of revenge.
Seeing the queen's happy appearance, Steward Zhou hurriedly walked over and poured another cup for the queen.
He looked at the well-behaved crowd sitting in the hall and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, it's really a good vision, the aura of the quasi-princess is too strong, and those people don't even dare to make a sound."
"Is it stronger than the aura of this king?" The queen glanced at the steward and asked in a stiff tone.
"How can Her Royal Highness the Quasi-Princess compare with Your Majesty!" Steward Zhou hurriedly half-bowed and said flatteringly.
"Don't fool this king!" The queen sighed and said sincerely: "Miss Yuwei is indeed stronger than this king, and this king can't even suppress the guards in the inner court at her age!"
"That can only say that Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Hong Shizi have a good vision!" Steward Zhou looked at the smug queen and stretched out his thumb.
"Don't talk about it!" The queen glanced at him disdainfully, "It's all Hong'er's good eye, do you think which man in this hall dares to look at Yuwei with straight eyes?" ”
"The quasi-princess is also something they can watch?" Steward Zhou added half a glass to the queen's wine glass, and said jokingly: "When His Royal Highness Hong Shizi comes back, don't pick out their eyeballs yet!"
"Talk about the prince in private, aren't you afraid that this king will cut off your tongue?" The queen asked nonchalantly, looking at the pure brew in the glass.
"The old slave lost his words, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" Steward Zhou hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at the queen pitifully, which only caused the queen to let out a burst of hearty laughter......
