Chapter 181: It's not overstepping
Meng Yunting on the other side was able to speak at this time and persuaded: "Yes! Queen Mother, Miss Zhong and King Rui are old friends, if Miss Zhong and King Rui are allowed to sit separately, wouldn't it be unkind and unjust to King Rui? If King Rui is moved back by one place, it will make the princes and princesses bigger, and the princes and princesses will be uneasy. It's just a matter of moving one place backwards, and it's not a big deal. ”
Of course, Meng Yunting agreed with Xiao Yulin to arrange for Zhong Yuqi to sit behind him, because she was originally thinking about wooing Xiao Yulin. And now she can step on the second prince Xiao Zixing, and let Xiao Zixing sit behind the concubine, her heart is even more happy.
Empress Dowager Zhao didn't want to dig deeper, she just took this opportunity to have a seizure.
In previous years, Empress Dowager Zhao would not care about the banquet arrangement. It's just that she specially summoned Zhong Yuqi into the palace this year, and the people in Tai'an Hall didn't know how to arrange Zhong Yuqi's seat, so they went to Ningshou Palace to inquire, so Zhong Yuqi's seat was arranged at the very end.
If Zhong Yuqi sits at the end of the seat, it will be to let her know what is wrong. If Xiao Yulin let Zhong Yuqi sit behind him, it would be impossible for Empress Dowager Zhao to do anything to Xiao Yulin, so she had to take the opportunity to have a seizure, and by the way, she had a bottom about Zhong Yuqi's position in Xiao Yulin's heart.
Since Xiao Yuhong and Meng Yunting both said so, it was impossible for Empress Dowager Zhao to "care" anymore, so she had to say: "It's still the emperor and the queen who are reasonable." The mourning family was also afraid that King Rui would make his own decisions and damage the royal face, so they just said a few more words. ”
Xiao Yuhong said: "The queen mother is serious! Ruiwang's move is not overstepping. ”
In a word, it not only shows that Xiao Yulin's move is inappropriate, but also does not say that Xiao Yulin has done too much, and Xiao Yuhong wants to punish him. Even if he wanted to punish him, Empress Dowager Zhao would not be willing.
It's Huo Mengluo, she is definitely unhappy.
Originally, the second prince Xiao Zixing was shorter than the crown prince Xiao Ziteng, and she was very unconvinced. At the banquet, Xiao Zixing sat behind King Rui, which was also reasonable. It's just that now, Xiao Zixing is going to sit behind a common man, and this is spreading, where is Xiao Zixing's face going?
Therefore, Huo Mengluo said with a smile: "Lord Rui is really a good life!" Not only is the status noble, but also the queen mother and the emperor are favored, but they are really envious of others! ”
Meng Yunting said to Huo Mengluo: "What do you mean by this that the queen mother and the emperor don't favor the second prince anymore?" ”
Huo Mengluo choked, her face changed suddenly, and then she hurriedly said with a smile: "The queen mother said such a thing, but she really wronged her concubine!" Everyone knows that today's Rui Wang Ye is the most favored, and the concubine is just telling the truth! When the concubine saw that King Rui's grandmother loved her son and her brother, she sighed with emotion. ”
Now it was Meng Yunting's turn to have nothing to say.
Xiao Ziteng said: "The concubine is right! The queen mother, the queen mother is also a mother and son for her sons. The queen mother usually teaches her sons to be kind, even if their younger brothers and sisters make any mistakes, they must bear with them. Not only must you endure it, but you must also teach it well, so that your younger siblings don't make mistakes next time. ”
Meng Yunting nodded with a smile and said, "You are the crown prince, as an example for all princes and princesses." If something suffers a loss, it is also your responsibility. ”
Xiao Ziteng arched his hand at Meng Yunting and said, "Son, remember the teachings of the queen mother!" ”
Huo Mengluo said: "The prince is really good at teaching, and his relationship with Lord Rui is also very close. The concubine heard that a few days ago, the prince sent two good skins to the Rui Wangfu, and even the guests of the Rui Wangfu had a share! It can be seen that the prince attaches great importance to Lord Rui! It's just that the prince has got good things, why should he only think of Prince Rui first, and not think about the people in the palace first? ”
Empress Dowager Zhao said: "Concubine Huo's words are not right! The mourning family has always lived in Ningshou Palace and rarely walks outside. What's the matter, it's all explained to Qinglian and Wanlu, what do you want this leather cloak to do? Isn't it a waste to put it here in the mourning house? It's better to make the best use of things. ”
Meng Yunting also said with a smile: "The palace also rarely walks outside, and there are also earth dragons in the Golden Phoenix Palace, so you don't need to use a cloak." Even if the main palace goes out, it is enough to have a cotton cloak, and it is thick. If you go to a farther place, there are also sedan chairs to carry it, and you don't even need a cloak. The relationship between the prince and King Rui is close, and when he learned that King Rui valued Miss Zhong very much, he sent a leather cloak over, so naturally he couldn't favor one over the other. ”
Meng Yunting: "It's just that Miss Zhong felt that the prince was too loving, so she politely rejected the prince." When the prince got a good skin before, he had already told the palace that it was the palace that rejected the prince. The prince asked the queen mother again, and the palace said that the queen mother didn't need to use it, so it was better to send something else. ”
Empress Dowager Zhao said with a smile: "Hehehe...... The mourning family was still strange at the time, why did the prince send something to the mourning family for no reason? It turned out that the prince was afraid of gossip from the mourning family, so he found other good things and sent them. ”
Xiao Ziteng said with a smile: "The imperial grandmother and the queen mother love me, and if you have any good things, you can't think about the palace first!" My father's treasury is rich, and if I send a leather cloak over, won't it attract a joke? ”
Empress Dowager Zhao said: "The crown prince has a good character, and he is diligent and inspirational, and he will govern the country and the country in the future, this is your father's favorite gift!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhong's heart was not happy, but he still didn't show it on his face, he just lowered his eyes slightly.
Subsequently, Xiao Yuhong said: "This is a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, not a harem banquet. You Aiqing are also here for the banquet, not to listen to your homely affairs. ”
After speaking, Xiao Yuhong waved his sleeves.
Zhao Laixiang sang: "Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, begin!" Singing and dancing! ”
After singing, the singers and dancers entered the arena one after another and began to sing and dance.
Xiao Yuhong first toasted Empress Dowager Zhao, then Meng Yunting toasted Xiao Yuhong, and finally everyone toasted Xiao Yuhong.
Everyone here drank wine, drank tea, occasionally ate some fruit snacks, watched singing and dancing, and talked with each other.
Xiao Yulin turned around frequently and talked to Zhong Yuqi, even if Zhong Yuqi tactfully reminded him not to always look back.
But Xiao Yulin was so excited that he knew that Zhong Yuqi had no one to talk to here, so he was afraid that he would snub Zhong Yuqi, and thought that Zhong Yuqi didn't want to trouble him when he said such things, so he still turned back to talk to Zhong Yuqi from time to time.
Xiao Yulin turned his head again, raised his hand and half-covered his face, and whispered to Zhong Yuqi: "Look! The banquet in the palace is like this, it is not interesting at all! ”
Zhong Yuqi whispered back to Xiao Yulin and said, "Lord Wang, you just have to sit, drink, watch singing and dancing, don't always look back." You see, you don't even talk to the people up there! ”
