Chapter 139: The Banquet Hall
After saying goodbye to Concubine Shu, the eldest lady and Shi Qingqian walked side by side in the direction of the banquet hall.
On the way, the eldest lady couldn't hold back again, and said: "You'er, you are acting more and more recklessly! โ
"Mother is referring to it, but what is it about Fang Cai'er prescribing medicine for Concubine Shu?" Shi Qingqian was asking knowingly, she always felt that after she asked like this, the eldest lady would scold herself a few words.
The eldest lady was depressed in her heart, and just nodded.
Shi Qingqian suddenly stopped, and looked at the eldest lady with his black grape-like eyes a little seriously, and his eyebrows were full of true feelings: "However, the doctor has already practiced the art of curing diseases and saving people, and that Imperial Doctor Zhang harms people, which is already against the way of medicine, if you want to let Qi'er see death and not save her, you can't do it." โ
She leaned over and hugged the eldest lady, "Besides, Concubine Shu is also a mother, I want to be a mother, and I would rather die to protect my ......."
The eldest lady is not afraid of Shi Qingqian contradicting herself, but she is afraid of her coquettishness. Every time I heard her soft and cotton-like tone, my heart, which had finally hardened, softened as if it had been soaked in water. She sighed, "But my son is not a healer. โ
Hearing this, Shi Qingqian had a bad heart, he was too entangled in the affairs of Concubine Shu, and he accidentally stood on his own position in his previous life. It was too late, it was too soon, Shi Qingqian immediately put on a smirk, and laughed 'hehe', "Oh, but Qi'er once went to the Tai Hospital, and Imperial Doctor Chu also said that he wanted Qi'er to enter the Tai Hospital for treatment and save people, and Qi'er agreed, so he is naturally a doctor!" โ
I don't know if such a blunt explanation has won the trust of the eldest lady, but fortunately, she is no longer entangled, just patted Shi Qingqian's head gently, and asked her to think twice before acting, "The older you get, my mother believes that you have your own judgment on everything, but you also have to know that no matter what you do, you must be prepared to be responsible for it." โ
"That's natural," Shi Qingqian replied seriously, "When you do things, you will definitely consider the consequences." โ
The eldest lady stopped talking, not because she really put her mind at ease with her troublesome little girl, but because she thought about it, maybe her idea of wanting to completely push Shi Qingqian as an outsider was wrong from the beginning. After all, she is Shi Yuan's only concubine, and Shi Yuan is in a-for-tat confrontation with the queen's henchmen, in this case, how can Shi Qingqian be completely clean?
After all, today's court is only two major forces, the queen's henchmen account for half of them, and the other side invariably forms a team to compete with it.
Since he is in the Hou Mansion and is born extraordinary, there is no need for him to go against the destiny of heaven, he has to let Shi Qingqian be an ordinary person. Whether it is Lord Shen or Concubine Shu, as long as they are all on Shi Qingqian's side, it is not a bad thing to move around earlier.
When they arrived at the banquet hall, they had to sit separately. Shi Qingqian naturally wanted to find Shi Ke, and after the eldest lady sent her to Shi Ke, she sat down beside Shi Yuan with confidence.
"Ah, girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to have grown a lot!" On the seat on the right, sat Shen Mi, and before Shi Ke could speak, he joked first.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't see you steady." Shi Qing pouted, and first stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth.
Shi Ke glared at Shen Mi, as if he was a human trafficker, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to block Shi Qing's view of him, "Don't pay attention to him, come, do you want to eat jujube cake?" โ
Before Shi Qing's mouth could swallow the contents, he nodded hurriedly. The look in his eyes was like a wolf, as if he hadn't eaten enough in hundreds of days. This innocent and cute appearance made Shi Ke laugh so hard that he couldn't wait to reach out and knead her little dough-like face.
Here, Shi Ke tried his best to let Shi Qingqian eat more, but Shen Mi looked like he was watching a play, holding his cheeks and saying cool words: "Ouch, ouch, it's almost time for the girl to grow horizontally, and if you eat so much, you will become a pig......"
"cough ......" I don't know if the three words 'horizontally long' really stung her, Shi Qingqian suddenly choked, and the chewing action stopped.
Shi Ke glared at Shen Mi fiercely, and quickly lowered his head to help her pour the tea, and after a while, the jujube paste cake that Shi Qing had in his throat was swallowed by her.
"Fifth brother, you still don't tease my sister."
At this time, Shi Qingqian suddenly heard a familiar voice, she looked behind Shen Mi, and sure enough, she saw the fifth princess sitting on the seat on Shen Mi's right hand, she was sitting upright, holding a cup of flower tea at this time, her petite body was almost taken by Shen Mi strictly, if she hadn't spoken, Shi Qingqian really couldn't see her.
"Five princesses! You're sitting here today! Hey...... I didn't even see you. โ
In the royal banquet she attended before, the princesses all sat at the same table with the prince and courtiers, so it was the first time she had sat so close to Shi Qingqian.
"As soon as you come in, you look at your brother, how can I get into your eyes." The fifth princess glanced at Shi Qingqian, and her actions at this time were a bit arrogant like a royal princess.
Shi Qingqian is not surprised, the fifth princess has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and at this time, in front of her brother, she has to pretend to be dignified and mature.
For the sake of being a good friend on weekdays, Shi Qingqian still didn't debunk her, "Okay, good, the fifth princess is not strange, not strange." โ
However, if Shi Qingqian does not debunk it, it does not mean that Shen Mi is the same. The two are biological brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, and their mother Concubine Xian died early, so they can be regarded as dependent on each other since childhood. However, contrary to Shi Ke's 'pet sister madman', Shen Shu is simply a 'sister abuser madness'.
"Oh Wan'er, I don't usually think you're so dignified, did you grow up overnight, or did you ......" he glanced at Shi Ke with a provocative expression, "Or have you seen someone?" โ
The fifth princess's name is Shen Wan, but everyone respectfully calls her 'Fifth Princess' on weekdays, so her name is also known for the first time by Shi Qingqian.
"Fifth brother!" The fifth princess whispered, her face had already turned red when she was provoked by Shen Mi like this, and at this time, she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, let alone see Shi Ke's reflection.
When Shi Qingqian heard this, he remembered that Shen Mi was also ranked fifth among the princes. The ranking of their heirs in the Hou Mansion is mixed with men and women, and there is no distinction.
However, the royal family has always been as different as men and women, and the rankings are naturally separated. This pair of brothers and sisters, a fifth prince and a fifth princess, is also a wonderful fate.
Looking at Shi Ke again, he also had the same expression at the moment, and seemed to be a little shy, but he still accused Shen Mi 'not afraid of power', and said, "You are a person! Just know gratuitous jokes! โ
"It's unprovoked, you don't count."
Shen Mi smiled slyly and exchanged glances with Shi Qingqi, who was nodding desperately.
Although Shen Mi is uninhibited and always quarrels with himself on weekdays, they can still reach a consensus on some things.
The atmosphere in this banquet hall was hot, and suddenly the eunuch's shout came from the door of the hallโ
"The queen mother has arrived, the prince has arrivedโ"
Before the deliberately elongated end note was finished, the entire banquet hall fell silent for a moment, as if the air had suddenly frozen and frozen, and even the sound could no longer continue to swim in the air.
Almost everyone turned their heads and looked at the figure outside the door that was getting closerโ
