Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Controversy at the Banquet

Shen Yafei's sad and painful expression fell neatly in everyone's eyes, and there was sarcasm on her face.

Xu Shizi by the gate of the palace was a little surprised in her heart, shouldn't she be hated with her character?

When the Queen Mother saw King Ning's maintenance of Lin Wanxin, she was also unhappy, and looked at Lin Wanxin's pretty face that was extremely beautiful by King Ning's affection. What a flattering look! Dare to seduce King Ning in front of so many people!

In the future, she is the only woman, and their royal children are going to spread out, how can a woman strengthen the Hua family. How can the daughters of their Shen family be so powerful, men can take the initiative to give up other women for them. The crown prince and King Ning are both in their early twenties, and there is not a single woman around them, and they are all fascinated by the daughters of the Shen family!

King Ning keenly felt the displeasure of the three people on the throne, Lin Wanxin also nervously pulled his sleeve, King Ning quickly pulled Lin Wanxin up before they broke out, "Erchen naturally has not forgotten his father's words. Seeing that it is not far from the southern border of Pingding, doesn't Erchen want to ask for a grace as soon as possible. ”

As she spoke, the Empress of the Ning Dynasty blinked.

Seeing the naughty expression on his serious face, the queen almost laughed, coughed, and quipped: "Yo, our A-Ning is really growing up, and we will feel sorry for people!" You're not afraid that Miss Lin will be robbed, right? ”

With the queen joking and easing down, King Ning was relieved, but listening to the queen joke like this, he was a little embarrassed, he had always been stupid, and he didn't know how to reply for a while, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Imperial Grandmother!" Xu Shizi shouted at this time, ran over, hugged the Queen Mother, arched the Queen Mother's shoulders with his head, and said coquettishly, "Grandmother Huang, Ah Xu hasn't seen you for a long time, and I miss you to death." Imperial grandmother, Ah Xu has just stood outside the door for so long, and you haven't noticed people, don't you miss people at all? ”

The silence in the hall was shattered by the shouting of the young prince.

The Queen Mother was amused by his words, her face softened a lot, and she said with a smile: "So you haven't seen the imperial grandmother for a long time, or is it the imperial grandmother's fault?" You little conscienceless. He slapped him on the arm, "I've asked your father and mother these days, and they all said that you were busy playing outside?" Didn't have time to come and see me. ”

His father and mother are both good sons! Xu Shizi didn't feel embarrassed to be told about it, stood up, and said with a smile: "Aren't people worried that they will be disgusted by the imperial grandmother if they are always dangling in front of the imperial grandmother!" ”

The Queen Mother was speechless when she saw him distorting the facts, talking nonsense, and looking aggrieved, for this grandson who played treasure all day long, she really couldn't do anything about him, and said angrily at him: "Nonsense, when did the imperial grandmother dislike you?" You're going to be strong! ”

"So, that's all the result of my hard work!" Axu said proudly.

The Queen Mother was amused by his cheekiness again, "You stinky boy! ”

"Queen Mother, it's time to go to the Windward Palace." The emperor said to the queen mother after the queen reminded him.

"Okay, let's go over together!" The Queen Mother said to everyone in the hall.

After speaking, the Queen Mother and the Emperor and Empress walked in front of the public, and the others followed out one after another.

The windward hall is usually a special place for banquets in the palace, which can accommodate two or three hundred people, divided into the front hall and the back hall, and the higher the status, the higher the status, the higher the front. The front is the front of the main hall, there are four seats, which are the first seats for the queen mother, the emperor, the queen and the concubine. The other positions are divided into two sides of the hall, men and women are also separated, men sit on the left, women sit on the right, there is a stage directly opposite the first place, sometimes some troupes will be invited, sometimes some dance skills will be invited, when the person is still the stage for Miss Childe to show her talent.

Today, only dancers were invited, and the dance presented was gong encouragement.

The queen mother, the emperor and the queen were seated in turn. The banquet opened at the emperor's behest, and the others also found their corresponding seats and sat down one after another.

General Shen is not only a general of the Celestial Empire who has repeatedly made military exploits, but also a person who will inherit the first rank of Shen Guohou in the future, so the Shen family's seat is still relatively close to the main seat.

However, Shen Yafei's position was arranged a little strangely, I don't know if it was intentional, anyway, below Shen Yafei happened to be the seats of Huo Ningyu, the fifth lady of the Huo family, and the sisters of the Huo family.

Huo Ningyu was also in the Queen Mother's Fukang Palace just now, so Shen Yafei's unbearableness at that time was taken into her eyes by the seamless. Just wanted to find an opportunity to taunt her, and this opportunity came to the door.

"Second Miss Shen, long time no see!" Huo Ningyu looked at Shen Yafei with a smile, but this kind of smile is too weird, don't think about it to know what she will say next, Shen Yafei's brows furrowed, and she only heard Huo Ningyu speak slowly, "Second Miss Shen hasn't been in the palace for a long time, right?" I heard that in the past, Miss Shen Er often entered the palace, and she almost regarded the palace as her own home, so she took it directly if she wanted it. Miss Shen Er hasn't been in the palace for eleven years, and there are a lot of things added to this palace, but I don't know which Miss Shen Er likes today? Also, I heard that King Ning led the way to the second lady in the palace, but why didn't King Ning bring you in today? Just now, she saw King Ning and Lin Wanxin walking in side by side, and waited for her to sit down before leaving. The adopted daughter of the Shen family, King Ning, really gave Shen Yafei a particularly loud slap.

"Who are you?" Shen Yafei listened to her words and asked with a smile.

"You!" Huo Ningyu's anger froze, and her voice was much sharper than usual, "Did Miss Shen Er forget the good things she did in Huo Mansion a few days ago?" "Didn't Shen Yafeimo think that if she didn't know her, she would let her go?

Fortunately, at this time, the banquet was full of drums, but Huo Ningyu's voice still attracted the attention of the neighbors, and they all turned their heads to look here.

"I remember what you said. But just listening to the tone of Miss Huo's speech, I don't know and think that you are in the wrong position, listening to you talk like that, I thought you should sit on the top position! Shen Yafei listened to her words and sneered, "Why do you take the palace as your own home." Don't say this kind of rebellious words, I'm just a daughter's family, this day is the emperor's family, I don't have Miss Huo's ambition! Miss Huo still uses her brains when she speaks, what you just said comes out, if someone with a heart hears it, they will think that Miss Huo is going to instigate me to seize power! This is misunderstood, I just want to seek a comfortable and prosperous life under the protection of the Shen family. Miss Huo, don't talk like that! ”

"Miss Shen is such a wonderful person, with a sharp mouth and sharp teeth, what she said is really shocking!" Huo Ningxiang grabbed Huo Ningyu, who was angered by Shen Yafei's clever words, to prevent her from talking nonsense again, and stared at Shen Yafei angrily.

"When I was in Huancheng, my aunt in the temple often told me, this capital, there are many high-ranking and powerful people, and it often happens that people are bullied and oppressed by their power, if they don't have a good mouth, wouldn't this be bullied in vain by those unreasonable people!" Shen Yafei was at ease, not caring at all about the sarcasm in Huo Ningxiang's voice, scraping the rim of the cup with her fingertips, and shot back mercilessly, "However, this good mouth can't compare to Miss Huo's ambition!" I don't know if Miss Huo's ideals have been told to Mrs. Huo, or if everyone in the Huo family wants to do this? ”

These words were said by Shen Yafei like this, it sounded like Huo Fu had a rebellious heart, Huo Ningxiang was really afraid that someone would listen to it, after all, in the capital, there is a struggle for power and profit between the powerful and the powerful, and the waves are surging, and if you are not careful, you will be rectified to the point of no return. Only when someone falls will someone get up, and there are many people who want to see Huo Mansion sinking. Huo Ningxiang said sharply, "Please Miss Shen Er be cautious!" ”

"The words came out of Miss Huo Wu's mouth, I just defended myself a few words, what does it have to do with me?" Shen Yafei sneered, feeling that Huo Ningxiang's words were a bit ridiculous, "Since you don't want people to say it, take care of your mouth!" ”

Huo Ningxiang was angered by Shen Yafei's unreasonable tone, and her always dignified and generous face was also angry, but her upbringing never allowed her to quarrel with others, and she was dumbfounded by Shen Yafei for a while.

Huo Ningyu's face was distorted by Shen Yafei's words, thinking that she Huo Ningyu was the most favored at home because of her young age, and the Huo family would follow her in everything; Outside, she is the granddaughter of the dignified Lord Shangshu and the imperial court's wife, and she can also walk sideways, when did she suffer such anger. Huo Ningyu shook off Huo Ningxiang's hand vigorously, jumped up directly from the seat, pointed at Shen Yafei and said, "What do you say again, who do you think you are." You are just the unfavored daughter of the Shen family, and now King Ning doesn't even want to look at you, and your identity can't even compare to an adopted daughter who doesn't know her biological father! What do you think you are! ”

Idiot! Now she doesn't have to clean her up! Shen Yafei despised Huo Ningyu in her heart, and she didn't have the ability to endure and provoke her, which was really stupid. She didn't bother with them about the Huo Mansion, so she sent it to the door herself.

The Windward Hall is very spacious, the sky above is very empty, and the materials used have been carefully selected by the craftsmen to wrap the sound in the hall. If the sound is too loud, there will be echoes, so playing music or singing in the temple can give people a different kind of enjoyment.

At this time, Huo Ningyu's shouting echoed in the hall, mixing into the sound of gongs and drums with a voice three times larger than her original volume, disrupting the rhythm of the musicians, and the footsteps of the dancers on the stage were all out of proportion!

Every word also came clearly into the ears of everyone present, and their eyes looked at it in unison.

After hearing this, the Shen family's faces turned red, and Shen Yafei couldn't tell whether they were angry with her or angry at "her".

When Lin Wanxin heard the words unknown to her biological father, she also glared at her fiercely, her eyes full of anger.

King Ning's thin lips were even more pursed into an invisible line, making his face even more angry.

When the three noble nobles in the upper position heard this, their faces were also very displeased. The sharp-eyed knife shot at Huo Ningyu's body, making her tremble for a while, her feet were weak, and she fell to the chair.

"What's going on over there? If you don't want to see it, just go out! The Queen Mother's angry voice came.

"The daughter of the Huo family is so well-educated! It's such a big breath, a good shelf, I don't know what the identity of the Huo family is, and I dare to ask me what the daughter of the Yipin Hou Mansion of the Great Heavenly Dynasty is! King Ning looked at Huo Ningyu sharply, and his tone did not hide his anger.

The Huo family sisters who were sitting next to Huo Ningyu were also seen to have weak legs, and cold sweat broke out, this stupid thing, nothing to mess with or something!

Before they could react, two palace grandmothers came over, covered Huo Ningyu's mouth with handkerchiefs, and dragged her out without pity.

Huo Ningxiang, who was next to her, was directly stunned, and didn't dare to stop her, so she watched her being dragged away.

Shen Yafei did sit calmly on the side, eating the snacks on the table slowly, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with her.

Old Madam Huo saw that Shen Yafei was completely out of the way, and her anger rushed straight to her head. It's all because of Shen Yafei that today's thing happened. Why is she also the one who provoked the incident, Huo Ningyu was about to be dragged out on the spot, but she was like a person who had nothing to do. Today, the Huo family's face is all lost, what kind of hatred and resentment does the Huo family have with her? Every time I meet her, nothing good happens!

"Okay, where did you just go? Go ahead! The Queen Mother said to the dancers on the stage.

Then the rhythmic sound of gongs and drums sounded again, and everything in the hall returned to normal, as if nothing had happened before.

Only the Huo family's face has changed a lot!

Lin Wanxin is also uncomfortable at this moment, being said in front of so many people that her biological father is unknown, doesn't that mean that she is a daughter born from her biological mother who does not abide by women's morals? When she was young, they bullied her at a young age and often laughed at her in front of her. However, later, General Shen and Mrs. Shen became more and more fond of her, and the more they paid attention to her, Mrs. Shen often took her with her every step of the way, and from then on, people did not dare to mention these things in front of her.

She didn't know who her biological father was, she lived with her mother when she was very young, and she was sent to the Shen family when she was three years old. She remembers living with her mother, who often cried in front of her and sometimes beat her while crying. Later, her mother couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to send her to her grandmother's house, but they directly pointed her nose and scolded her.

In the end, I heard that it was my mother who saved General Shen's life, and entrusted her to General Shen before she died. The first few months in the General's Mansion were still difficult, but then she knew from the words of the people around her that as long as she could get Mrs. Shen's favor in the Shen Mansion, she could get everything in the Shen Mansion, so she used her pity to gain Mrs. Shen's love step by step. At that time, Mrs. Shen's favorite was Shen Yafei, and she tried her best to make Mrs. Shen hate Shen Yafei, she first provoked Shen Yafei, and Shen Yafei beat her or scolded her after being angry, and then the people in the Shen Mansion would feel guilty about her, and they would be dissatisfied with Shen Yafei in their hearts. Slowly let Shen Yafei peel away from their hearts, and she stayed in.

Over the years, the Shen family has been really good to her, and Mrs. Shen has treated her even better than Shen Yaru, so good that she has forgotten her origin and completely regarded herself as the daughter of the Shen family. Now Huo Ningyu's words reminded her of her unworthy status, reminding her that she was not the serious daughter of the Shen family, and everything she enjoyed now was taken from Shen Yafei.

She was really angry, angry at Huo Ningyu's unscrupulous words, and even more angry at Shen Yafei's ignorance of current affairs, always going to provoke others, it was embarrassing enough to make such a joke in Huo Mansion last time, and now she is still making trouble in the palace, she shouldn't go back to Beijing!

Two quarters of an hour later, the dance on the stage was finished, and the emperor clapped his hands again and again, and then asked the eunuch to lead them to the Internal Affairs Office to receive the reward.

Then, the queen said: "I heard Princess Huihua say that everyone has arranged other programs for today, so this palace only arranged this one program today, and then I will hand it over to you!" ”

After the queen finished speaking, Princess Huihua went out with a few young ladies. When they came in, they all changed into uniform skirts and hair accessories.

After a few people came in, they first bowed to the three of them, and the young lady in the middle was giving the names of the program to the three people.

As for what the name was, Shen Yafei didn't hear it clearly, because at this time she had been attacked by sleeping insects, and her head was dizzy, she hurriedly took out a jet-black pill from her sleeve, put it in her mouth while everyone's attention was on the table, and swallowed it. Then, unable to hold the heavy eyelids any longer, she closed her eyes and breathed evenly and regularly. At this moment, Shen Yafei's body was stuck between the chair and the table, leaving no gap, this was when Shen Yafei just sat down, she moved the chair like this, so that she could sleep with her chin in her hand, and it was not easy for people to notice.
