Chapter 129: A "Wonderful" Banquet
The dark guard and the palace maid took the order and left. King Lang confidently crossed his arms, looked at the group of rockeries in front of him evilly, and then threw his sleeves away.
Shen Yafei sniffed, she could sense that there were a lot of people outside, and it was impossible to rush out at this time.
But according to King Lang's instructions just now, if she doesn't appear at the banquet now, she will definitely be discovered by King Lang's people soon.
"What should I do?" Shen Yafei asked Xu Shizi in a low voice.
Xu Shizi calmly smiled back at her, and then hugged Shen Yafei and continued to walk inside. At this time, Shen Yafei found that the cave was quite deep, and Xu Shizi continued to walk in with her, and when she came to the end.
He stopped, turned his head and smiled faintly at Shen Yafei, who looked puzzled.
Xu Shizi groped a few times on the rockery, and the stone in front of him began to move, and opened a small path.
"You ······" Shen Yafei was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
"This is something I found out when I was playing as a kid and I didn't tell anyone. This path leads to the private room on the other side of the banquet, and we can pretend to go to the private room to relieve ourselves. Xu Shizi escorted Shen Yafei into the passage, and then closed the stone behind him.
Further inside, there was a white light, and the two of them emerged from the newly planted bushes, and there was a private room right in front of them. The two looked at each other and smiled, then parted tacitly and entered the men's and women's private rooms one after another.
Shen Yafei came out of the private room and calmly walked back to the courtyard where she gathered, and saw that everyone was surrounding Princess Lang or Princess Ning, Shen Yafei felt that these two circles were not in tune with her. So, he returned to the inner courtyard hall and sat silently back to Princess Li's side.
Princess Pi was a little surprised to see her come back. Shen Yafei sat quietly under her, and Princess Li, seeing her expression, must have just been reluctant to be with those noble girls in the capital. But also, Shen Yafei didn't have any friends in the capital, and those nobles in the capital didn't look down on her.
In terms of their identity, they dare to dislike her daughter-in-law, Xiaoya is already promoting them when she plays with them, and she dares to give Xiaoya a face, and she doesn't look at her identity!
Princess Fei was a little angry in her heart, reached over, and patted the back of Shen Yafei's hand comfortingly.
When Shen Yafei saw her look of pity, she knew that Princess Pi had misunderstood, but she didn't explain, Princess Li's nervous expression made Shen Yafei feel the care of her family. My heart was full of emotion.
The old ladies in the other mansions also noticed Shen Yafei, and it was rare to see her sitting here calmly at such a young age, and she could be so calm. This is completely different from the arrogant and domineering Miss Shen Jiaer they know. But it astonished everyone.
"Princess Li, your daughter-in-law here is really good." The old princess of King Ling's Mansion looked at Shen Yafei with admiration on her face. This was originally a pair that everyone was not optimistic about, but the result was unexpected.
"Where, where." The Pill King
Although the concubine was modest, the smile in her eyes was about to overflow.
"Princess Ling, Princess Li, the banquet is about to begin. The Queen Mother invited everyone to the banquet. At this moment, a palace maid in pink walked in.
The palace maid led the way in front, Princess Ling, Princess Li, and Shen Yafei came out of it first, and the others followed closely.
Suddenly, a flower peacock flew to Shen Yafei's side and held her hand enthusiastically, Shen Yafei was not prepared and was caught by the flower peacock. Shen Yafei smelled the choking smell and rubbed her nose uncomfortably. wanted to pull her hand out of her hand, but the peacock seemed to be prepared, and Shen Yafei's hand was tied by her.
"Princess Li, the concubine will go over with the princess?" Huo Ningyu pretended to be pure and affectionate.
Who is Princess Pili? How could he not see Shen Yafei's resistance and Huo Ningyu's pretentious face, and sneered in his heart: "I still don't want it, this palace and Xiaoya are going to sit together." After Xiaoya entered our palace of the king of Li, it was the first time to participate in the palace banquet of the New Year, and the palace was worried that she would not be suitable, so Xiaoya still walked with the palace, and the palace also took her to familiarize herself with the etiquette. ”
As she spoke, Princess Lili smiled and gently took Shen Yafei's hand into her hand. Huo Ningyu didn't dare to make a mistake, so she had to let go of her hand in a daze.
Princess Pi gently held Shen Yafei's hand and walked forward with a gentle smile.
Huo Ningyu's face turned pale, and she looked at the harmonious relationship between Princess Li, Princess Li, and Shen Yafei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It seems that Shen Yafei is really as the outside world said, she is really favored in the Liwang Mansion, Huo Ningyu realized this situation, and her heart was even more unhappy.
If it weren't for Shen Yafei disrupting her etiquette, the second son of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion who she was about to settle would have turned yellow at that time. Although, she didn't have any feelings for that person, and she was only sad for a while before being hooked by King Lang, she is now much richer than being the daughter-in-law of Marquis Ning Yuan, so she doesn't have any feelings about the past.
But even so, it was the result of her own efforts. She also has a genuine princess in Langwang's mansion on her head, although she has the favor of Langwang, but in life she is tied and unsatisfactory.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yafei, who she had always looked down on, would live so proudly and smoothly in the Liwang Mansion. Her life is not smooth, but Shen Yafei can be handy, and she has become a mandarin duck couple that everyone envies, and she is unwilling.
And a few days ago, Shen Yafei made her ugly, and she would never let go of Shen Yafei, a slut. ······ today She.
Huo Ningyu's face was ugly, and he clenched his hands tightly and tightened them fiercely.
"Shhh Huo Ningyu's maid Cuihua's wrist was grabbed by Huo Ningyu, and it hurt so much that she took a breath of cold air.
Huo Ningyu heard her crying out in pain, and the anger in her heart became even worse, with cold eyes
The child scraped into Cuihua's face and shot straight into Cuihua's eyes. Cuihua felt like she had been scraped by a sharp knife, and the tears that were about to flow to the corners of her eyes were suffocated.
Cuihua didn't know that her expression of holding back tears in her eyes was the most pitying, looking at it and feeling like a solid slave who was oppressed by an unreasonable master, and then looking at Huo Ningyu's fierce face, what else did people not understand. The ladies of the capital looked at Huo Ningyu with a hint of incomprehension.
"Concubine Yufang, we have to go faster, the people in front of us have gone away." The eldest and youngest grandmother of the Li family is the sister of the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Huo family, she is a warm-hearted person on weekdays, and Huo Ningyu also has more than a half-star connection with her family, she doesn't want Huo Ningyu to make jokes in the palace, so she deliberately stopped her from getting angry at Cuihua, so as not to make a joke.
The young grandmother of the Li family stepped forward and affectionately pulled Huo Ningyu towards the front, Huo Ningyu originally looked down on the young grandmother of the Li family, and wanted to pull her hand out of her hand, but seeing the strange expressions of the people around her, Huo Ningyu didn't dare to fall in front of her, so she had to withdraw the eyes on Cuihua's face.
The soles of Cuihua's feet were a little weak, and she shook them before she stood up straight. At this time, the young grandmother of the Li family had already walked a foot away with Huo Ningyu, and Cuihua immediately trotted to catch up.
Princess Pi and Shen Yafei entered the Windward Palace, and followed the palace maid to the seats of the family members of the Pi Palace.
As soon as Shen Yafei and Princess Pi sat down, Prince Li's and Prince Xu also came over and sat down beside the two. The palace banquet at the end of the year is not divided into male and female seats, if they are married, they can sit together, which can reflect the style of the family banquet.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Blessed Queen Mother!"
Not long after they sat down, the emperor and the queen mother also entered. After the emperor and the queen mother sat down, they let people start serving. The big eunuch announced the beginning of the banquet, first by the eunuch to the emperor to pick up the food, after the emperor ate the first bite of the dish, the emperor around the people of the cloth from the eunuch to the palace maid, the next person began to hand the chopsticks.
"Xiaoya, come, eat this, although the food here is not as delicious as in our house, it is generally more expensive than in our house, and it is usually difficult to see, so take advantage of the time to eat more." Xu Shizi introduced the origin of those dishes while clipping, and after the introduction, he was worried that Shen Yafei would think that the things in the palace were better than those at home, so he added the latter sentence.
······
Shen Yafei didn't dare to agree.
Seeing Shen Yafei's disapproving expression, Xu Shizi looked around, lowered his head close to Shen Yafei's ear, and continued: "Of course, if you like it very much, you can tell me directly." Although these dishes are rare for others, they are still easy if you are in business. If you really like it, I'll ask someone to get some back. ”
Shen Yafei was silent and did not speak
Xu Shizi thought she didn't believe it, and assured her: "What I said is true." Our family's business is quite extensive, and it would be good if we wanted to ask the following merchants to help us get these things back. ”
"I believe in you." Shen Yafei saw that Xu Shizi wanted to behave, and said with a chuckle.
Xu Shizi looked at Shen Yafei's bright big eyes, black and white, without a trace of impurities, and his eyes were firm and bright. Xu Shizi knew that she really believed it, and then a smile broke down on her face, which instantly illuminated the entire Windward Palace.
Everyone saw Xu Shizi looking at Shen Yafei stupidly, and they were very envious of such feelings.
"Ah Xu and the princess have a really good relationship." The Queen Mother saw the happiness on the faces of the two of them and felt very dazzling.
The Queen Mother suddenly called her name, Shen Yafei's body trembled, and the corners of her eyes twitched. The Queen Mother's tone always sounds like yin and yang. This dead old woman still has to stir up trouble at this time, and she doesn't know what she wants to do. What do you want to do?
Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi were reluctant to speak out at this time, they just regarded it as a compliment from an ordinary elder, and lowered their heads shyly as if they were humbly taught.
The Queen Mother felt like she had punched the cotton, and she couldn't breathe at all. Even if the Queen Mother couldn't be angry, she didn't want to do useless things. But in front of so many people, the Queen Mother was not easy to have a seizure, so she had to hold her breath back.
For the next five quarters of an hour, everyone ate quietly and quietly, which confirmed the rule of eating without words. When everyone had eaten almost enough, the palace maid removed all the dishes on the table and added tea and snacks.
At this time, a young girl in yellow clothes hurriedly followed the palace maid and walked into the banquet. When Shen Yafei saw He Miaomiao, her face changed, and she slowly put her eyes on King Lang, only to see King Lang staring at He Miaomiao fiercely, with a cruel smile remaining at the corner of his mouth.
Shen Yafei was stunned, her heart trembled, couldn't it be that King Lang thought Miao Miao was the one who broke through his adultery?
At this time, music played in the main hall. A group of women dressed in bright red long clothes and sand coats walked slowly from the right side, spinning and coming in.
Pulling Shen Yafei's thoughts back, Shen Yafei pulled the sleeve of Xu Shizi's clothes, and Xu Shizi looked at her possessively. Shen Yafei blushed slightly, dipped some tea in her hands, and wrote a few words on the table, "He Miaomiao just came in from outside."
Xu Shizi's eyes narrowed suddenly, then calmly patted Shen Yafei's shoulder, activated his thin lips, and said to Shen Yafei silently: "Don't worry, it's okay!" ”
Shen Yafei was relieved and turned her head to look at the center of the hall.
At this time, on the stage, the long red sleeves shook in the air, sometimes like red waves, sometimes into red arcs, and sometimes the delicate girl showed her white face in the red ribbon, like a woman who had strayed into a fairyland, and her face was uncoverably joyful.
The music and dancers work seamlessly together to match the ups and downs. It sets off people's new hopes for the new year.
The music slowed down, the dancers' pace slowed down, and by the end of the song, the sound was still lingering, and the picture remained in people's minds. Looking around, there seems to be a graceful girl in red dancing on the stage. Be in ecstasy!
The cardinal dance is just a warm-up for the front, and it should be time for the sons and ladies of each family to show their talents. Generally, at the palace banquet at the end of the year, the programs prepared by each family are reported to the inner court.
The first to appear was the eldest daughter and eldest son of a three-rank official's family. Shen Yafei has been in the capital for a long time, and Xianxianglou has been to countless times, she has never seen any singing and dancing, and there are few outstanding ones in her eyes after a banquet.
Shen Yafei felt very bored, holding her cheeks with her left hand and stirring the melon seeds in the small plate with her right hand. Looking at the stage without focus, my eyelids became heavier and heavier. Shen Yafei glanced at the people around her, and immediately nestled under Xu Shizi's arm and yawned!
Seeing her yawning until tears came out, Xu Shizi couldn't help but feel a little distressed, put her hand on his back, and brought her some heat. Shen Yafei instantly felt warm, and her sleepiness became even stronger, her eyes were half-squinted, her body was crooked, and she was about to lose it.
Sushiko reached out and placed her head on her shoulder. Shen Yafei leaned on a thick, firm shoulder, closed her eyes, and after a while, her breathing became slow and rhythmic.
Xu Shizi gently supported her, looking at her sleeping little face, without the coldness and vigilance of the past, like an innocent child, simple and clean.
The corners of Xu Shizi's mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, and she stretched out her right hand and touched her smooth and tender cheeks. The tenderness in his eyes that couldn't be hidden made the women around him blush. Xu Shizi used to be a bohemian image, but I didn't expect him to be so charming.
Qiao Fang was dazzled, a little obsessed, and secretly imagined in his heart that he was the person that Xu Shizi was looking at affectionately. Qiao Fang stared at Xu Shizi's side face and looked stupid, hoping that Xu Shizi could turn his head to see her, so he used his affectionate eyes. However, it was a pity that Xu Shizi didn't seem to notice her existence at all, and Gu Zizi looked at Shen Yafei's face intently.
Qiao Fang felt that Shen Yafei in his arms was an obstacle, preventing Xu Shizi from gazing at her affectionately. Qiao Fang showed a cruel gaze, eager to drag Shen Yafei out of Xu Shizi's arms.
She thought so, and did so. She reached out and pulled Shen Yafei's arm and pulled hard. Shen Yafei felt a pain in her arm, shook violently, opened her eyes in a daze, and before she could come back to her senses, she stretched out her long arms to stabilize her, and her face hit a thick chest.
The next moment, a sharp cry came into his ears, and Shen Yafei was completely awake. I saw Qiao Fang being kicked by Xu Shizi
flew, fell on the stage, lay on Tang Gongzi's body, his face was against his neck, and his upper body was pressed against his face.
When Shen Yafei saw this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and her lower eyelids surged upward.
Looking at the initiator next to him, he shook the sole of his shoe with a disgusted face, and shook it a few times, his expression was like stepping on dog shit: "It's so dirty." ”
He also rubbed the ground hard, and felt that it was still very unclean, so he called the eunuch on the spot: "Go and give this son a new pair of shoes, these shoes are dirty." ”
Xu Shizi's voice was very calm, and he didn't raise his voice in particular. But at this time, everyone was stunned by Qiao Fang and Tang Gongzi's posture, the hall was very silent, and even a needle could be heard falling to a low voice, not to mention the loud voice of Xu Shizi.
Qiao Fang had just straightened up from Tang Gongzi, and then fell back again.
Tang Gongzi shouted in pain, this posture was too embarrassing, he was still pressed below by a woman, what would people think of him now, his always Sven image was ruined by this slut. Tang Gongzi's face was flushed with anger, he didn't pity the fragrance and jade at all, and with a little internal force, he slashed at Qiao Fang's upper body with one palm.
Qiao Fang answered, rolled a few laps, and then stopped.
Mrs. Qiao looked at her daughter's embarrassing actions, and her face was also red with shame, and she wished that there was a crack in the ground at the scene to get into. Master Qiao's face was as black as carbon ink, and he slashed his eyes at the daughter who made him embarrassed, and closed his mouth tightly. didn't dare to take the lead in asking someone to pull her up in front of the emperor and the queen mother.
But it seems that the emperor and the queen mother looked at Qiao Fang as if they were looking at a very ordinary thing, and no one thought of pulling the two up. The eyes that shot from all around made the faces of Lord Qiao and Mrs. Qiao hot.
Master Qiao glared at Mrs. Qiao fiercely, blaming this woman for not teaching her daughter well, which made him lose face. Master Qiao's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't wait to slap Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Fang on the spot to vent the hatred in his heart.
