Chapter 190: The Prince's Mansion Banquet (Part II)

Song Li nodded, and turned his eyes to look at the subordinates who rushed to her in an orderly manner with Chu Tianfeng waving his hand, hanging his head and lining up.

"They all looked up at me."

She slowly paced forward, glancing back and forth at several people, her nose moving slightly, her voice was not high, but there was an irresistible majesty.

"Yes, Miss Song!"

Several people responded in unison, and slowly looked up at Song Li.

Song Li's eyes fluttered over a few delicate faces, and then the corners of her mouth raised a smile that seemed to be nothing.

Looking at the dangerous smile on her face, a woman at the end of the team was suffocated, and a little fear and panic suddenly crept up in her brass bell-like eyes.

"Li'er?"

Seeing Song Li's appearance of knowing everything, Chu Tianfeng frowned slightly and shouted anxiously.

"Hmm." Song Li hummed inaudibly, and slowly walked to the girl at the end of the line, her white fingers gently pinched the girl's wrist, and the smile on the corner of her mouth sank suddenly, "Is there a dog in Your Highness's house?" ”

Chu Tianfeng didn't know what Song Li wanted to do, but he still pondered for a moment and quickly nodded: "Yes, I'll let someone bring it over!" ”

Song Li nodded, looking at the woman with deep and deep meaning, the woman raised her head to Song Li's bright eyes, bit her lip nervously, and asked with a trembling voice with half-hanging eyelids: "Miss Song, what do you mean by this?" ”

Song Li didn't answer the woman's words, but let go of her hand and stretched out two fingers to pick up her chin and force her to raise her head.

Facing the woman's spring-like eyes, Song Li's dark eyes suddenly swelled with a hint of chill, "Look at your dress like this, aren't you a cook?" ”

The woman didn't understand why Song Li asked this, her eyes flashed for a moment, and she nodded slowly, "Back to Miss Song, the slave maid is the tea ...... in the front yard."

She pretended to be calm and said, but the slightly trembling shoulders betrayed the tension in her heart at this time.

"Serving tea...... Song Li nodded thoughtfully, looking at Chu Tianfeng, a flash of light flashed in his dark eyes, "The hands of the person serving tea must be clean and tidy, right?" ”

Chu Tianfeng nodded undeniably, glanced at the woman with all his thoughts, and pursed his lips slightly, "That's natural." ”

While the two were talking, a little guy dragged a half-human-tall dog that was completely black and looked a little fierce.

"Your Highness, the dog is on the hook!"

The little guy said loudly, standing aside in a proper manner, waiting for Chu Tianfeng to speak.

The girl looked at the dog who was squatting in front of the little maid and went to the waist of an ordinary woman who was constantly sticking out her tongue and panting, and a trace of imperceptible shrewdness flashed in her eyes, and then her eyes trembled as if she thought of something, and she quietly wiped her hands on her dress.

Although Song Li was talking to Chu Tianfeng, Yu Guang had been paying attention to the woman's movements, and naturally did not miss her movements of wiping her hands.

Chu Tianfeng also noticed the woman's small movements, and his face sank little by little.

"Take her down!"

Song Li suddenly raised his hand at the woman and scolded in a deep voice.

When the rest of the subordinates heard this, they glanced at Chu Tianfeng with fear, and then stepped forward and pressed the woman to her knees.

"You don't have oil on your hands, I asked people to drag the dog here just to scare you, I didn't expect you to really fall into the trap."

Looking at the woman who was taken down, the corners of Song Li's mouth raised slightly to reveal a smug expression, slowly walked in front of Chu Tianfeng, raised his hand and bowed, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't disappoint you, did I?" ”

Chu Tianfeng glanced at Song Li appreciatively, and praised him without hesitation: "Li'er is smart, and he can think of such a way." After he finished speaking, his voice sank, "Someone will press her down and imprison her, and when the banquet is over, the palace will deal with her!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Soon, several black-clothed people appeared from the shadows and landed beside Chu Tianfeng, it seemed that they should be the secret guards on the prince's mansion.

"Your Royal Highness, the crown princess is now pregnant, and it is better for people to watch around the dense flow of people in the house today, otherwise it will be impossible to prevent what happened just now!"

glanced at the girl who was quickly dragged down by the secret guard covering her mouth, and reminded her in a good voice.

"I know, I had people defend various places strictly before, but I didn't expect this to happen......"

Chu Tianfeng nodded, and there was a bit of rare majesty in his solemn expression.

"Now that we've found it, let's go over first."

Song Li was silent for a while and said proposely.

"Well, let's go."

Chu Tian responded, and soon took Song Li back to the front yard.

The food has already begun to be served in the front yard, and the stage has been set up in the courtyard early, and the troupe is babbling and singing birthday celebrations on it.

Song Li and Chu Tianfeng returned to the banquet to sit, Qi Wanxi took Song Li's hand and sat beside her, leaned over and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and asked in a low voice, "What did you go to do just now?" ”

"We just went to the man who sprinkled oil on the ground."

Song Li raised his eyes and glanced at it at noon, and also raised his hand to cover his mouth and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Qi Wanxi nodded slowly, a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes, "Did you find it?" ”

Song Li nodded lightly.

At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Queen Mother, the Emperor and Queen Mother have arrived!"

A subtle hint of surprise flashed in Song Li's eyes, a small birthday banquet even came to the Queen Mother, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time.

With that shout, everyone in the audience stood up one after another, and their eyes turned to the door at the same time.

Song Li carefully helped Qi Wanxi to stand up, his eyes swept behind him lightly, and he made sure that there was no suspicious person, and then looked slowly towards the door.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people walked into the door, led by Emperor Tianxuan, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and the queen and queen mother in palace clothes.

The three of them were followed by a girl dressed as a princess, Gu Shaoqing and Song Li, who had been looking for Chu Rong who had not seen anyone for a long time.

"See the Queen Mother, see the Emperor and the Queen!"

Emperor Tianxuan and his party slowly walked in under the sound of neatness.

"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, today is Erlang's birthday, everything is casual, everyone sit down!"

The Queen Mother's wrinkled but majestic face showed a very dignified smile, she waved her hand casually, and the emerald green bracelets on her wrists collided, making a crisp jingle sound.

Chu Tianfeng hurriedly stepped forward and led a few people to sit down on the chairman.

The Queen Mother looked at Chu Tianfeng with kind eyes, nodded with a smile, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Erlang looks stronger and stronger." Saying that, her eyes turned around and fell on Song Li and Qi Wanxi at the opposite table, "The two children are here to mourn!" ”

She waved at the two of them, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

"Imperial grandmother."

"Queen Mother."

Song Li helped Qi Wanxi, and the two of them walked lightly to the Queen Mother, saluting in unison and shouting in unison.

Looking at the etiquette that the two of them couldn't make mistakes, the Queen Mother bowed her head slightly, raised her hand and pulled Qi Wanxi to sit down beside her, and then pointed to the vacant seat on the right to Song Li, and said kindly: "Leave the little girl to do this." ”

"It's the Queen Mother."

Song Li glanced at Qi Wanxi worriedly, and then walked to the position pointed out by the Queen Mother and sat down.

The Queen Mother first pulled Qi Wanxi to ask with concern for a long time, and then looked at Song Li, with a touch of distance in her smiling eyes, "Your grandmother enters the palace every day to accompany the mourning family for three sentences without leaving you child, when you were a child, you and Shaoqing, this kid, ran in and out of the palace all day long, and now I haven't come back from Beijing for eight years to see the mourning family, if it weren't for the mourning family out of the palace today, I don't know when I will see you this girl." She said with a slow smile, glancing at Song Li with a resentful look.

Song Li looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, and said embarrassedly: "The Queen Mother, forgive me, it's not that I have nothing to do all day, and when I am free, I will definitely accompany my grandmother into the palace to see you." ”

"That's fine." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "The mourning family can remember it." ”

"Uh-huh."

Song Li smiled and nodded, his eyes flickered, and he found that Gu Shaoqing was staring at him intently.

As if she hadn't seen it, she lowered her head lightly to block the flickering color in her eyes, and when she looked up, her eyes returned to calm again, without a trace of waves.

The stage in the courtyard babbles and sings obscure dramas.

During the banquet, everyone drank and talked happily, pushed the glasses and handed them over, but Song Li was silent like an outsider, always paying attention to Qi Wanxi's face.

After breakfast, everyone slowly left the banquet, and Song Li followed the Empress Dowager Qi Wanxi and her party back to the backyard with many female dependents.

The ladies were laughing and playing in groups in the backyard, Chu Ruohua and Xu Jiaojiao urged Song Li to play together many times, but Song Li refused.

She was like a bodyguard, standing by Qi Wanxi's side.

Looking at Song Li's appearance, Qi Wanxi was grateful but also a little distressed.

"Song Li!"

Ye Zilan's voice suddenly came from a distance and fell into everyone's ears.

"Seven Princesses."

Qi Wanxi looked at the source of the voice and nodded with a smile.

"The crown princess." Ye Zilan glanced at Qi Wanxi and smiled as well, then looked at Song Li, her red lips raised a beautiful arc, she hooked her finger at Song Li, made a seductive gesture, and said slowly: "Come here, I have something to tell you!" ”

Song Li glanced at Ye Zilan lightly, looked away unmoved, grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip, ignoring Ye Zilan.

"You man!" Ye Zilan's chest rose and fell slightly by Song Li's cold and distant attitude, and then regardless of everyone's eyes, she rushed directly to the pavilion and pulled Song Li up, "Follow me!" ”

"Let go!"

Song Li glanced down at the wrist that was clamped by Ye Zilan, raised his voice suddenly, and exuded a compelling momentum on his body, and scolded impatiently.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Looking at Song Li's unfamiliar appearance, Ye Zilan was almost angry, she glanced around with a calm face, and suddenly leaned into Song Li's ear and raised her hand to cover her mouth and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It has something to do with the princess of your country, are you sure you don't want to go with me?" ”

Hearing this, Song Li's eyes sank suddenly, he squinted at Ye Zilan slightly, and said in a cold tone, "Are you sure?" ”

"What am I lying to you about!"

was questioned in a row, and Ye Zilan's face immediately darkened to the bottom of the pot.

"I'll believe you again, if you dare to lie to me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

After Song Li finished speaking in a tough tone, he begged the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother for mercy and followed Ye Zilan away.

As soon as she walked out of the yard, Ye Zilan suddenly raised her hand to wrap her arms around Song Li's slender waist, and reminded Song Li before she left: "Hug it, I'm not responsible for falling later!" ”

Then she jumped with Song Li and quickly landed on the eaves of the most advanced roof.

"Where are you taking me?"

Song Li grabbed Ye Zilan's arm tightly, and asked in a low voice with a slight light in his eyes.

Qi Wanxi is still in the yard, what should Qi Wanxi do if she leaves?

"I just walked around the Prince's Mansion after eating, and then I happened to get lost, so I looked at something!"

Ye Zilan whispered, and quickly took Song Li to a deserted, secluded, overgrown yard.

"Look!"

Just when Song Li was wondering what Ye Zilan had brought her here, Ye Zilan suddenly pushed aside a bush and pointed to the things inside and raised her chin proudly.

In the grass was a palm-sized porcelain bowl filled with colored water or blood, in which a centipede the size of a small finger swam around, looking a little creepy against the bright red background.
