"That's you." Li Junhe walked in front of Shen Nianchu with his hands behind his back.

"You little brat, what do you know?" Shen Nianchu glanced at Li Junhe, what qualifications does a little kid who can't even protect himself have to teach her here.

"You are just an unfavored second lady of the General's Mansion, and behind Feng Xinyue is the queen, you reckless rescue, if something really happens, no one can protect you" If he hadn't invited Mama Liu to the rescue just now, I was afraid that Shen Nianchu would not be able to please Shen Nianchu.

"How do you know that I am not favored, besides, even if she has the support of the queen behind her, she should not belittle others like this." Although Shen Nianchu was a little scared, he was still unconvinced.

"That's why you say that you are a fool, even if you are favored, but after all, this is at Concubine Ling's banquet, if the two of you really make trouble, Concubine Ling will definitely reprimand you in the face of the queen. Even if General Shen Bai can protect you, this person has a lot of mouths. Your reputation won't be much better in the future. ”

Shen Nianchu thought about it carefully, although he was favored by his father, but now in this Yueli country, only his father doted on him, if he really has the reputation of Sapoo, I am afraid that he will be talked about in the future. It doesn't matter if he is said, but if he affects the General's Mansion, I'm afraid it's also a sin.

Li Junhe saw that Shen Nianchu was not speaking at the moment, and knew that she had now listened to what she said, so when he was about to leave, he heard a voice from behind him, "Thank you." ”

Li Junhe was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. just faintly turned around and added: "In the future, if you don't have the ability to get ahead, don't force yourself out, otherwise you will not only not be able to save people, but you will let yourself be dragged in." ”

After saying that, he left with his attendants. After walking out of Shen Nianchu's sight, the attendant beside Li Junhe asked with some confusion: "Master, you usually don't care about such idle things, how can you help her?" ”

"I know Feng Xinyue's temperament, if she really makes trouble, she will definitely not be able to resist it. What's more, she also saved my life, and gave her a wake-up call, which can be regarded as repaying her kindness. Li Hejun returned indifferently.

In fact, he didn't know why he wanted to help her, and the kindness was just a disguise. It's just that this woman is so stupid, if she is really designed by someone else one day, it is estimated that there is no room to fight back. But that's fine, maybe she can become a pawn of herself in the future.

The attendant couldn't guess what Li Junhe was thinking, so he had to silently follow Li Junhe and leave.

Shen Nianchu looked at the back of Li Junhe leaving, thinking about what he just said, and felt that what he said was sincere, if Mama Liu came to the rescue today, he and Feng Xinyue would inevitably have a big fight, and the two women were so noisy in public, no matter what the outcome was, it would affect their own people.

Now that I think about it, I was also reckless, and I didn't see my own strength and rashly saved people, wouldn't I send it to others as a handle?

Liu Cheng on the side looked at Shen Nianchu in a trance, and carefully pulled Shen Nianchu's sleeve and said, "Sister, is she unhappy because of Orange's matter?" Liu Cheng knew that Shen Nianchu was not a few years older than him, and if he kept calling the second lady a little raw, he changed his name to sister.

Shen Nianchu came back to his senses at this time, looking at Liu Cheng, who was shy and scared in front of him, Shen Nianchu felt that everything he had done was worth it. She took Liu Cheng's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry too much. I'm fine. It's just that after you return home, you still ask your father to check carefully, why did you get the wrong invitation, I'm afraid that someone deliberately wants to make you ugly. ”

Liu Cheng looked at Shen Nianchu blankly, not quite understanding what she meant. Shen Nianchu thought about it and felt that something was wrong. So he told her maid to tell the prefect about today's events. Although the prefect's authority is not large, it can also be checked. Even if he is not held responsible, he can be given a wake-up call.

Just as the two were chatting happily, the father-in-law in charge came over to beckon everyone to meet in the hall to elect the first place today. Shen Nianchu took Liu Cheng over with him.

Today's prize is a jadeite pearl hairpin, the best jadeite with a night pearl, which is also very beautiful. This was given by His Majesty when Concubine Ling first entered the palace. Concubine Ling wanted to give this pearl hairpin as a prize to the first place, with the intention of using it as a token of affection, so as to choose a beauty in advance.

Shen Yue knew that she was definitely the first place this time, but she didn't want to receive such a valuable gift now. First, His Majesty has not announced the candidate for the crown prince, the eldest prince and the third prince have the possibility of becoming the crown prince, and the fifth prince is the adopted son of the queen's mother, and it is very likely to become the crown prince.

If she accepts this pearl hairpin at this time, it means that she can only choose the third prince as her husband, but her goal is not to become the princess of any prince, she wants the throne of the queen. However, the lord should be coming soon, just wait to see the show.

The father-in-law in charge took the note and read it aloud: "The first place in today's schedule, General Shen's Mansion, Shen Yue." Sure enough, it was her, and everyone was discussing it in a whisper.

Concubine Ling looked at Shen Yue with great satisfaction, no matter in terms of appearance and talent, Shen Yue was the best choice. Of course, in addition to the color head of Zhu Hai, she also prepared exquisite gifts for other unsuccessful young ladies. The ladies of the provinces looked at the gifts and did not say anything.

Shen Yue walked to the hall with small steps, kneeling lightly and preparing to accept the lottery. At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly interrupted them: "The queen mother has arrived." ”

Everyone looked outside the courtyard in surprise, the queen's guard of honor had already come this way, and everyone hurriedly knelt down and bowed. Concubine Ling's face became very ugly, the queen mother came here at this moment, I am afraid that it is not good.

Concubine Ling was supported by the palace maid and walked outside the courtyard to wait for the queen to come over. Shen Nianchu saw the queen mother for the first time, and felt very curious, and wanted to see what the queen mother looked like, and the grandmother on the side saw that she was moving, and patted her gently, warning her that she must be more peaceful now.

Shen Nianchu gave up and knelt quietly on the ground. The queen got off the sedan chair and walked over with all the palace maids.

"Get up." It's a very gentle voice.,I guess it's also a big beauty.。

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Everyone got up with the support of the maids, and Shen Nianchu really saw the queen's appearance clearly.

Compared with Concubine Ling's enchanting and charming, the queen's appearance can be described as fresh and refined, not very beautiful, but it makes people feel that they can't see enough at a glance.

The queen looked at Concubine Ling with a calm face and said, "My sister is so lively here today, why don't you ask your sister to come over and have a look?" ”

Concubine Ling saluted indifferently: "Queen Niangniang, is it a concubine, failed to notify the queen mother in time, please forgive the queen mother." ”

"If it weren't for Your Majesty's mention of your banquet in the palace today, the palace really wouldn't know about it. It's just that my sister is really, this beauty's election is about to begin, you set up a banquet first, and people who don't know think that your sister is going to choose a princess for the three princes. If other princes find out, I'm afraid they will think you're a little unfair. ”

"It's the concubine who didn't think about it, please forgive the queen." Concubine Ling didn't expect the queen to directly say what she was thinking about, so she was a little flustered for a while, and quickly knelt down and begged for punishment.

Although she has the intention to choose a concubine for the three princes, but now that she has said it in front of everyone, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the other princes. Although His Majesty intends to appoint the third prince as the crown prince, if all the courtiers talk about this matter, then His Majesty will definitely feel that he is participating in the government politics.

The queen secretly sarcastically said in her heart that Concubine Ling did not keep her duties as a concubine, but on the surface, she still asked Concubine Ling to talk back with a smile. Concubine Ling stood up with the support of others, and the queen walked up to her, took her hand and said, "Sister, are you still serious?" My sister is just joking with you. ”

Concubine Ling scolded secretly in her heart, still with a smile on her face: "It's good that the queen mother is not angry, today my sister invited the chef of Jufang Garden here, and the food is excellent." Sister want to try it?

"That's good, let's come and taste it together." The queen asked everyone present to participate in the tasting, and everyone answered "yes" and returned to their positions.

The queen walked to the top of the main hall and sat down, and Concubine Ling asked the palace maid to withdraw the previous food and buy a new bowl. Then he sat down to the lower right of the queen. At this moment, everyone present felt very embarrassed, and for a while everyone didn't know what to say, just quietly waiting for food.

Concubine Ling saw that it was a little cold, so she asked the steward to call the singer and dance to sing, and with the excitement after the song and dance entered the venue, everyone also began to talk slowly in a whisper.

After a while, a new meal was served, and Shen Nianchu was very happy, fortunately he hadn't left just now, otherwise he would definitely not be able to eat this delicious food. Shen Yue on the side picked up a glass of wine and drank it slowly, it was okay. If it's one step late, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a reason to shirk it.

After the queen took a bite of food, she never touched her chopsticks again. Everyone was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing whether to continue eating, they all put down their chopsticks and sat quietly watching the play, only Shen Nianchu didn't care about anything else, and was still eating.

After watching the show for a while, the queen asked the palace maid to bring the five princes over, and the five princes walked to the queen and knelt down to say goodbye. The queen asked him to sit beside her. Seeing this, the palace maid next to her hurriedly moved a stool, and the fifth prince walked to the queen and sat down, the queen stared at the stage with her eyes, and said lightly: "I heard that you were thrown into the lake?" ”

Concubine Ling secretly said in her heart that it was not good, the queen was here to settle accounts. As soon as she wanted to explain, she heard the fifth prince reply in a whisper: "It was the son's stupidity that failed to detect the plot of others, so he was almost killed." ”

"Have you found out who did it?" The queen continued to stare at the dancing crowd and said.

"Erchen has sent someone to investigate, but he hasn't found it yet." Li Junhe said expressionlessly.

"Sister, it seems that your yard is not very clean. Fortunately, my son is fine today, and if something happens, your responsibility will be great. The queen said to Concubine Ling with a smile.

Concubine Ling chuckled in her heart, she was really an old woman with a knife in her smile. But now she can't show it too obviously, so she can only say in a low voice: "My sister is right, it was my sister's lack of discipline that made the five princes have such a thing." The younger sister will naturally give the five princes an explanation. ”

"That's good." The queen nodded, and continued to watch the show without saying anything else.

Li Junhe knew that the queen must be angry at this time. He was accidentally calculated but did not die, and now that he has not caught the murderer, he cannot convict Concubine Ling without evidence. The queen doesn't like useless people the most, she is so imprudent in doing things, she is afraid that she will be punished again when she goes back.

Concubine Ling was secretly glad that no one else saw Li Junhe's accident when he had an accident, but she also had a chance to defend herself by listening to what he said. The queen must have known that this matter was of no use, so she simply asked her to find out the truth of the matter by herself, even if she found someone to blame, she could turn the page on this matter.

"I heard that today's number one has come out?" The queen asked casually.

"Back to my sister, I've come out. It is the eldest lady of General Shen's Mansion, Shen Yue. Concubine Ling said slowly on the side.

"Which one is Shen Yue, let her come over, this palace will have a good look."

Concubine Ling sent someone to find Shen Yue over, and Shen Yue walked up to the queen and gave a big salute. The queen took a closer look: "Well, I have long heard that the eldest lady of the Shen Mansion is a knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous beauty. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

"It's just such a good beauty, it's a pity that Your Majesty hasn't met yet, so let's choose a son-in-law after officially participating in the beauty election. At that time, Your Majesty will definitely grant you a good match. You say yes, right? Younger sister. The queen took a sip of tea and said.

Seeing that the queen had said so, Concubine Ling replied with an embarrassed face: "Naturally, my sister is thoughtful. My sister is ashamed of herself. ”

The duck in her hand flew, Concubine Ling felt unspeakably uncomfortable, originally she wanted to take advantage of the queen's knowledge to engage this marriage. Since ancient times, most of the first beauties have accompanied the prince, and if the two families really have a relationship, it will be easier for His Majesty to pass on the prince's position to his son.

It's just that for some reason, the queen will hear the wind coming. It is estimated that there are also queen's fine works in the courtyard now, so I have to check it carefully.

The queen looked at Concubine Ling's embarrassed face, and felt very happy in her heart. If it hadn't been for someone who reported the news, she might not have been able to deal with the matter today. Concubine Ling pressed herself everywhere, and she was embarrassed at the moment, and she felt happy when she thought about it.

Seeing that the sky was a little dark, the queen found an excuse to dismiss the banquet, and the ladies of the various provinces walked towards the outside of the palace after thanking them. Shen Nianchu was still a little reluctant to give up the rest of the food on the table, but when he saw that everyone had left, he also left.
