Fengdu, a gorgeous carriage drove out of the prince's mansion and quickly headed towards the palace.

Half an hour later, after checking the procedures, the Praetorian Guards at the palace gate let the two of them in.

At noon, the pepper room hall.

Wang Guifei was wearing a navy blue embroidered hibiscus long skirt, and she was draped in an apricot long gown with a fur collar sandwiched on both sides, which was ankle-length, looking light and thick, and very warm.

There are charcoal stoves on both sides of the dormitory, and the silver filaments that have been burned inside are bad, so there is no smoke.

The windows around him were open, and a thin layer of snow was falling outside, and on the crimson log table of the Eight Immortals, all kinds of exquisite meals were placed in them, which could easily arouse people's appetites, and these meals had only just been served, and were still steaming white.

Sitting with Wang Guifei was a long-haired man in a red brocade robe, this person had a bewitching face, and his eyes flashed with an amber light, it was Wei Jin.

After pouring a glass of wine to herself, Wei Jin respectfully held the glass of wine in front of Wang Guifei, and said with a slight smile: "Today, the sons and daughters are uninvited, so they will punish themselves here for three cups, and please ask the queen mother not to be strange to the sons." ”

With that, he drank the wine down.

Wang Guifei looked at him with a smile, and Liu Mei couldn't see the depth under her eyes: "The emperor has rarely come to the palace, I don't know what went wrong today, and the emperor actually took the initiative to come to my Jiaofang Palace to beg for food?" ”

If these words were said by the mother of an ordinary family, it would have been with ridicule and no malice, but when Wang Guifei said it to Wei Jin, it was not difficult for people to hear contempt in her tone.

Wei Jin laughed and didn't say much.

After Wang Guifei took the wine in his hand, he explained in a smooth voice: "After returning to the mother, when the son also entered the palace to visit his father, he overheard someone say that you want to hold a banquet in the Jiaofang Palace, so you are curious in your heart, so you come to see, and the person who can make the queen mother's attention is also very curious in his heart!" ”

said that it is high-sounding, but in fact, don't you still want to see what you have to do?

Wang Guifei glanced at him lightly, took his wine and put it on the table, and did not take a sip.

At this time, Chunxue opened the curtain from outside and came in with a woman in red and a woman in orange.

"Qiqi Guifei Niangniang, the crown princess and Mo Wen girl have arrived."

As her words fell, Zhang Baozhi hurriedly bowed respectfully to Wang Guifei: "The concubine sees the concubine, the concubine is auspicious!" ”

Is this Wang Guifei? Indeed, just sitting there and quietly can give people a sense of majesty and oppression.

Shang Kelan raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the woman sitting at the table, and she had a vague concept in her mind, and when Zhang Baozhi had just saluted, she would follow, which was not rude.

"Don't ask, see the concubine."

The elegant posture, the soft voice, and the softness in his tone can easily make people feel good.

Since Shang Kelan appeared, Wang Guifei's eyes fell on her.

This is a gaze that cannot be ignored, calm but inexplicably feeling a pressure and chill, like the gaze of a long-time person who has been in a position of superiority.

After a while, Wang Guifei withdrew her gaze from Shang Kelan, and raised her hand, with a light smile on her indifferent face: "You are the Mo Wen girl that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought back from Diemeng Tower?" Look at it, it is an extremely elegant and quiet woman, you and the crown princess should get up quickly, sit. "Let's read the book

The tone is not very warm, but it can make people subconsciously feel a sense of relaxation.

Hearing this, Zhang Baozhi and Shang Kelan said in unison: "Xie Guifei Niangniang." ”

The two of them spoke, getting up and taking their seats.

But as soon as Shang Kelan straightened up, she met a gaze that seemed to be smiling, and following this gaze, her eyes fell on Wei Jin.

Suddenly, Shang Kelan was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to take a step back.

But at this moment, Wei Jin had already withdrawn her gaze from her, and instead smiled at Wang Guifei: "Queen Mother, this girl is looking at her, she is the guest you want to see?" ”

Wei Jin said this as if it was the first time he saw Shang Kelan.

And he didn't show any familiar look on his face, he didn't know, he really thought that the two were just meeting for the first time.

Even though Shang Kelan was horrified in her heart, she knew that she couldn't show anything unusual at this moment, otherwise she would be discovered, and I was afraid that she would be interrogated by Wang Guifei.

Although I don't know why Wei Jin pretends not to know him, but since he did this, he can breathe a sigh of relief, at least he doesn't have to worry about his identity being exposed.

After only a few seconds of pause, Shang Kelan covered up the past with a bending movement, and naturally sat down next to Zhang Baozhi.

After Wei Jin finished speaking, Wang Guifei looked at him helplessly and said: "No big or small, the crown princess can say, this Mo Wen girl is your second brother's favorite woman, this palace and the first queen are like sisters, and I grew up watching your second brother grow up, for the woman your second brother likes, this palace naturally has to be more careful." ”

At this moment, Wang Guifei's treatment of Wei Jin was completely different from just now, as if the two were really cordial like ordinary mothers and sons.

Wei Jin's face did not show anything unusual, he only smiled suddenly, and after pouring another glass of wine, he saluted Shang Kelan: "Since you are the second brother's favorite person, then this hall also has to give you a glass of wine, so as to be the wine of acquaintance." ”

Shang Kelan's palms were already sweating, but on her face, she still smiled slightly, picked up her teacup and saluted him back, and said embarrassedly: "The people's daughter is not strong enough to drink, so she has to replace the wine with tea, and I hope that the Second Highness will not dislike it." ”

At a table of four people's dinner, Zhang Baozhi didn't say a word from the moment he sat down, and he was well-behaved like a child.

only took a sip of a bowl of soup, Wang Guifei looked at her and Wei Jin lovingly, and the atmosphere in the banquet was barely called "warm".

But every time she was swept by Wei Jin's gaze intentionally or unintentionally, Shang Kelan's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly remembered something, and asked with some doubts: "By the way, Guifei Niangniang, why does His Royal Highness the Second Highness call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the second brother, isn't this a conflict with each other in the rankings?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Guifei wiped her pink lips with an embroidered handkerchief, and explained with a helpless smile: "My son and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were born at the same time, and the two are almost indistinguishable. ”

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder there will be a conflict between the titles of the two, but the father of the two has a playful heart.

Shang Kelan nodded knowingly.

I saw that although Wang Guifei was smiling, her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

The few people on this table didn't move much at all, and after finishing speaking, Wang Guifei looked at Shang Kelan with emotion: "Actually, don't ask this temperament, it looks a little similar to the former queen, not to mention the appearance, just this body shape is also very similar." ”

In the sleeve, Shang Kelan's hand trembled......
