Xiao Yulin said: "When did this king look down on you? Aren't they all on your side? When did this king ever care about these vain things? ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Lord Wang, it is in the Rui Wangfu. This is the palace, and everything has to be done according to the palace's wishes. ”

Xiao Yulin said: "Since it is in the palace, it must be done in accordance with the rules!" Have you seen whose family is sitting in a different place? You can't be equal to this king, so sit behind him. You minion, move this seat to the back! ”

"Yes!"

The eunuch paused slightly, and saw that Zhong Yuqi didn't do anything more, so he hurriedly ordered someone to move the last gambling seat.

Zhong Yuqi secretly gritted her teeth.

She didn't believe it, Xiao Yulin didn't know what Empress Dowager Zhao meant. Since it is the meaning of the Empress Dowager Zhao, why bother with these things at this time? Wouldn't this add more hatred to her?

However, at this time, Zhong Yuqi can't be with Xiao Yulin, and the scene can't be stuck here. Because, everyone else is looking at the excitement here!

Zhong Yuqi's seat hadn't moved over yet, but he could only hear the door singing: "The emperor has arrived!" The Queen Mother has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! ”

Before the words fell, I saw Xiao Yuhong and Empress Dowager Zhao stepping into the hall side by side, Meng Yunting supporting Empress Dowager Zhao on the side, and stepping into the hall together, followed by Huo Mengluo and Zhang Luyao and a group of princes and princesses.

On this occasion, it is inconvenient for other concubines to show up. Only in the evening when there is no night banquet of outsiders can they enter the main hall to participate in the banquet.

Huo Mengluo and Zhang Luyao are different.

Huo Mengluo is a concubine, and it is in accordance with the rules to come to a public banquet.

Zhang Luyao is a titled concubine, and she should have been promoted to a concubine, but she encountered many obstacles, Xiao Yuhong wanted to elevate her status and let her enjoy the treatment of a concubine.

Some ordinary banquets, Zhang Luyao is very interesting to come, only the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is extraordinary. And at this time, others will not talk too much and make themselves uncomfortable.

For Zhang Luyao, today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is not only extraordinary, but she also has to witness some things. Because Xiao Yuhong has already given her a breath, he wants to set up Zhang Ruliu as the concubine of King Rui.

And when the Lord came, all the people saluted to him.

"See the Emperor! See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother! ”

Xiao Yuhong walked to the top and sat down, raised his hand to help him, and said, "Zhongqing!" Throne! ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Then the crowd took their seats.

The princes and princesses came with Xiao Yuhong, only stood in the middle of the hall and bowed, and then returned to everyone. However, Xiao Yulin moved the seat behind him by one seat, and naturally there was not enough seat for the princess.

Xiao Zixing was also dissatisfied with Zhong Yuqi occupying his seat, but at this time, he was very clever not to speak. Because he knew that someone would speak for him.

The main lord's eyes swept over Xiao Yulin's side first, and the expressions on his face were different.

Xiao Yuhong's face is still cold and unchanged for thousands of years.

A trace of displeasure flashed on Empress Dowager Zhao's face, especially when she saw that Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi were both wearing red clothes, and even her brows furrowed slightly.

Meng Yunting was surprised at first, and then a smile returned to her face.

Huo Mengluo looked at Zhong Yuqi.

Only Zhang Luyao, when she saw Zhong Yuqi's face, a trace of panic flashed on her face, but it was fleeting, and then she lowered her eyes.

Empress Dowager Zhao saw that there was a princess standing at the end behind Xiao Yulin, so she said unhappily: "What's going on?" How is there still a princess standing? Zhao Laixiang, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is not the first time, how can there be such a situation? ”

Zhao Laixiang is not in charge of the banquet arrangement, but he will give a word of advice to the steward of Tai'an Palace. Of course, Zhao Laixiang also knew that Empress Dowager Zhao arranged Zhong Yuqi's seat at the very end, and now looking at this situation, he still doesn't understand what's going on?

Therefore, Zhao Laixiang had to say truthfully: "Empress Dowager Qi, originally this seat was not arranged wrongly, but Sister Zhong, a guest of Ruiwang Mansion, sat in the wrong position. ”

As soon as the three words "Sister Zhong" came out, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhong Yuqi again.

The case of the prince ten years ago is still vivid in everyone's minds. Now that this surname is mentioned again, Zhong Rao still can't help but have palpitations in his heart.

Although they had already heard that a guest surnamed Zhong came to King Rui's mansion, and Zhong Yuqi in the Huancai Pavilion was also picked up by a mysterious person. Based on Xiao Yulin's friendship with Zhong Yuqi back then, everyone couldn't help but guess in their hearts whether Sister Zhong in King Rui's Mansion at this time was Zhong Yuqi.

However, there was another word in King Rui's mansion that this Sister Zhong was from Yunzhou. Some people have also gone to inquire, and there is indeed such a family. It's just that some changes happened to the Zhong family in Yunzhou many years ago, and the sister of the Zhong family disappeared.

Rao is like this, as soon as everyone hears the words "Sister Zhong", they can't help but look at Zhong Yuqi with inquiring eyes. And Zhong Yuqi, as a guest of King Rui's Mansion, was actually summoned to the palace to participate in the banquet by making an exception, I don't know what else is hidden in it?

At this time, the steward eunuch of the Tai'an Hall on the side hurriedly walked to the front of the hall, knelt down and said: "Empress Dowager Qi, when Sister Zhong came before, the slave had already clarified the seat arrangement with Sister Zhong. But ......"

Empress Dowager Zhao shouted: "But what but? Could it be that Sister Zhong was bold and reckless, and deliberately failed to resist the will? It must be that you, a minion, didn't explain it clearly to Sister Zhong! ”

At this time, Xiao Yulin arched his hand to the Empress Dowager Zhao and said, "Empress Qi!" This matter was done by the sons and sons, and had nothing to do with others. Sister Zhong was originally going to sit on the seat originally arranged, but Erchen felt that Sister Zhong was a guest in Erchen's mansion, and since the queen mother raised her love and let Sister Zhong enter the palace with Erchen for a banquet, then Sister Zhong should be treated as a person from Ruiwang's mansion. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao said: "You too, Sister Zhong is just your guest, and she is also a commoner." The mourning family summoned Sister Zhong to follow you to the palace for a banquet, which is also to give you face. You're the Prince, and that's there. On such an important occasion as the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, how can you let her sit behind you? Where do you call the princes and princesses sitting behind you, where do you put their faces? ”

Xiao Yulin said: "The sons know that the princes and princesses are noble, if the queen mother wants to take care of the faces of the princes and princesses, the sons and daughters voluntarily condescend to the nobles, move back a seat, and become a family with Sister Zhong." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao said angrily: "Ridiculous! ”

Xiao Yuhong hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, please calm your anger!" King Rui is the elder of the princes and princesses, and he should sit in front of them. Sister Zhong is not only a guest of King Rui, but also valued by King Rui so much, so let Sister Zhong sit behind King Rui. Mother, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Queen Mother must not be angry for mercy. ”
