Chapter 272: The main dish of the palace banquet
The Queen Mother moved out the first emperor, obviously trying to be a scoundrel. The prince was so angry that his chest was a little blocked, and looking at the queen mother's triumphant look, the prince couldn't hold back. It's so despicable, what kind of tricks does this damn old witch want to play? Looking at the appearance of the old witch, she is unwilling to give up, and the prince knows that whatever he says now, the queen mother will have thousands of reasons to refute herself.
"Then the palace will arrange a few more people to come over to take care of my father." The prince said.
"Okay." The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and agreed.
"If nothing happens, the palace will go back. There are many things going on at the court. So saying, the prince got up and took his leave.
"Hmph." After watching the back of the prince disappear from her sight, the queen mother snorted coldly.
"Queen Mother, the crown prince won't see anything, right?" When Mama Hui saw the prince's last face, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Hmph, I can see what he can do. Now he can't even get King Ning, he is now a small boat in the middle of the lake, and he doesn't even have a raft. Even if he had doubts about us, he didn't have that ability. The Queen Mother said with fierce eyes.
"Yes." Mama Hui also laughed coldly.
"Hmm." The Queen Mother also hooked the corners of her lips, and there was a ruthless light in her eyes.
······
There has been no progress in the case of destroying the village on the outskirts of the capital, and there are other officials who have been obstructing King Ning's affairs. However, fortunately, according to Shen Yafei's arrangement, Xu Shizi sent one-fifth of the manpower in the Liwang Mansion to prepare medicinal materials with Zhiyan. With the help of the Liwang Mansion, great progress has been made in medicinal materials. That's one thing moving forward.
The New Year's banquet has arrived. Prince Li, Xu Shizi, Shen Yafei and others all wore the costumes specially prepared by Princess Li. Before they entered the palace, the family of the Liwang Mansion dined together in the mansion, and there was constant laughter and laughter at the table, and the family was happy. It wasn't until the housekeeper came in to inform that it was time to enter the palace that Shen Yafei and the others began to leave.
"Grandma!" Hua Xin is still a little reluctant to give up on Princess Li, he is happy, but he doesn't want Princess Lili and others to leave so soon.
Princess Pi took it down, held Hua Xin's face and said: "Xiaoxin obediently listens to his father and mother at home, grandma, grandpa, uncles and aunts, there is something to go out." ”
After Princess Pi finished speaking, she stood up, she looked at Hua Xi with shame, and said, "This should have brought you, we... Should... ······ family together"
"Mother, the child understands. The child feels very happy now. Hua Xi said with a happy smile on his face.
Hua Xi didn't want Princess Fei to feel guilty, but he also really felt very happy at the moment. This kind of happiness is already very rare for him who has experienced so many things, he is very satisfied, and he doesn't want to have too many requirements and demands.
Princess Hai always felt that what Xu Shizi enjoyed now should be his, so she always felt indebted to him, but fortunately, Princess Hai and Xu Shizi did not show this sense of guilt, otherwise he would have been under pressure in his heart.
"Mother, this is the place where we go to eat with a mask, and we can be choked to death without eating, eldest brother doesn't have to go, I'm afraid I'm stealing fun in my heart." Xu Shizi said with a smile.
"You kid! Begging! How can you say that about your eldest brother! Being teased like this by the prince of Xu, Princess Li's mood was much better, and a smile appeared on her face.
Princess Pi went back with a smile, and Hua Xi and Xu Shizi exchanged glances with each other, smiling and nodding.
"Lord and princess, it's not early, we have to set off as soon as possible." Seeing that the masters were still "inseparable", the housekeeper looked at the sky and couldn't help but remind him.
"Let's go." The hand of the princess was behind the princess, and he said softly.
"Let's go." Xu Shizi hugged Shen Yafei and followed.
The carriage of the palace swayed through the streets and swayed all the way to the gate of the palace.
"Lord Li, such a coincidence." As soon as Shen Yafei and the others got off the carriage, King Lang walked over from the side, with a feminine smile on his face.
"King Lang." The prince greeted with a smile, and after greeting him, the prince led the princess to walk forward, and he didn't give the rest of the light to King Lang.
"Cut~" Xu Shizi protected Shen Yafei and kept up with the pace of King Lang, when he passed by King Lang's side, he cut contemptuously, looked at the sky with his head held high, and walked directly to King Lang's side in disregard.
King Lang was so angry by the arrogant appearance of the prince and the prince of Xu, his fists were clenched tightly, and his fierce gaze shot at the family of the palace like a sharp knife.
"Lord Wang?" There were people coming and going at the gate of the palace, and King Lang stood at the gate of the palace with a grim face, attracting many eyes, and the little maid wanted to remind the master to leave here as soon as possible.
King Lang was very dissatisfied with the voice in his ears, and his fierce gaze shot at the little guy. The little guy shrank his neck in fear, his eyes dilated, and his body trembled slightly.
"Let's go." King Lang looked at the little maid for a while, then withdrew his gaze, and walked straight to the palace gate as he spoke.
King Lang's deep voice was like a powerful hand clamping a person's neck, making people feel frightened and frightened. The little guy followed with a slight trembling leg and foot.
"Prince, everything is arranged." If the concubine has arranged the matter properly, she will go to the table to inform her. There is no hostess in the palace, and the queen has no way to manage the affairs of the harem when she is sick, so the affairs of the harem are managed by the concubine. There were other concubines who wanted to rush for the right to do things to please the emperor, but now the emperor doesn't care about anything, and the queen mother and Concubine Ru don't give those concubines a chance to be demons at all.
"Well, Hongu knows." The prince responded, turned his head and looked at the position of the queen mother beside him, it was empty, the prince frowned slightly, and asked, "What about the queen mother?" ”
"Ahem," Concubine Ru's gaze dodged left and right, "The Queen Mother is not well." ”
"It's all time, why is the imperial grandmother still here? Go and see what's going on? The prince's face sank, and he looked at the little eunuch beside him seriously and said.
"Yes, the minion will go right away." The little eunuch was frightened by the toughness in the prince's eyes, and a spirit of excitement led the order to go out.
"Uh, why don't you go over and have a look?" The prince's face was very gloomy, and Concubine Ru thought about it, so let's go over and take a look for myself.
Is this queen mother deliberately trying to embarrass the prince, or is she preparing some conspiracy? It's fine if you just want to embarrass the prince, but if there's some conspiracy brewing······
Concubine Ru suddenly remembered the recent changes in the mood of the Queen Mother, after the Queen Mother took power under the Prince, the smile on her face hid another meaning, and her temperament was terrifying, but the Xiaorong Ou on the Queen Mother's face began a few days ago. It's a weird thing! Concubine Ru was a little flustered, and thought it would be better to see it with her own eyes.
"Go ahead." The prince admonished in a deep voice, "Be careful. ”
"Yes." Concubine Ru bowed and left.
At this time, everyone had already arrived, and there was only a cup of tea on the table in front of them, and the prince was sitting on the top seat, and everyone did not dare to speak loudly, so most of them chose to be silent. After sitting for so long, my butt hurts, and I was waiting to come to the palace for dinner, but now I don't have snacks, and my stomach is hungry. Everyone was a little bored.
However, when they looked up and saw the prince's gloomy face, they immediately retracted, and the annoyance on their faces was suppressed. Compared with the impatience of everyone, the expressions on the faces of King Lang and King Yuan were even more interesting.
King Lang and King Yuan both had smiles on their faces, but the smiles on their faces, one was genuine and happy; The other laughed very viciously.
King Yuan took a sip of tea gently, with a smile on his face, the corners of his eyes turned up, his gaze looked ahead without focus, and his hand turned the teacup in his hand without a match.
King Lang pinched the teacup with his thumb and forefinger, gritted his teeth tightly, and the corners of his mouth pulled into a straight line, sneering. King Lang also looked in the direction of King Yuan from time to time, and when he saw King Yuan's face full of reverence, King Lang's hand instantly tightened, and the tea in the teacup suddenly shook and almost spilled.
"That old witch doesn't want to be a demon today, is she? Why hasn't it come out for so long? Xu Shizi looked at the face of the prince in front of him, frowning and sneering.
"Shut up." Xu Shizi's voice was not deliberately lowered to a very low level, and the prince and princess of Hai, who were sitting at his leading table, heard it clearly, and the prince was startled when he heard that Xu Shizi actually said such disobedient words in front of so many people, and glared at him sharply.
"I'm just telling the truth." Xu Shizi waved his hand indifferently, turned his head to look at Lord Xiao who was sitting next to him, and asked with a smile, "Lord Xiao, did you say so?" ”
"Ahem," Master Xiao squirted out of his mouth with a sip of tea, and then coughed wildly, his face slowly turning red.
"Father, you see, Lord Xiao also thinks that the child is right." Xu Shizi and the prince pointed at Lord Xiao and squeezed his eyebrows.
"Say it again!" The Emperor glared sharply at the prince and warned him.
"Okay, if you don't say it, you won't say it." Xu Shizi said with a smile.
Although the prince closed his mouth, he didn't look like he was frightened by his eyes. The Emperor shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
At this moment, the sound of a eunuch passing a car came from outside the palace.
The banquet instantly stirred.
"Your Majesty?"
"Emperor, Emperor?"
"Isn't the emperor seriously ill and can't get up? How can you attend the palace banquet? ”
······
"What's going on?" Princess Pi also asked the Pi Prince.
The princess pressed her shoulders and shook her head to signal her not to speak. Shen Yafei nervously grabbed Xu Shizi's sleeve, and Xu Shizi looked at her tenderly and patted the back of her hand gently.
Then, everyone got up, kowtowed, and greeted the big driver, but at the bottom, everyone looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they turned their eyes to the middle.
