Chapter 236: The Banquet Begins
Xiao Ling slowly opened her eyes, her brain was blank, and she looked at a certain place in the air with a void gaze.
Suddenly, a figure pressed against her.
She instinctively raised her hand to push the man, but after hearing a familiar voice, her hand stopped in mid-air.
"Woo you big idiot, don't you know I can swim?
"Where I need you to save me, I'm almost as good as saving you.
"You idiot, scare me to death, woo"
Xiao Lingwei finally regained her senses, remembering what had just happened, her hand fell, and she gently patted Chen Manman's back, "Eh, I was in a hurry for a while, I didn't think about it so much." ”
Chen Manman got up from her and wiped her tears, "Next time you have to remember, I will swim in the water, I don't need to be rescued if I fall into the water, I will come up by myself."
"Remember."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, in fact, she was very embarrassed in her heart, she wanted to save Chen Manman, but she didn't expect to almost put herself in, and she felt ashamed when she thought about it.
Chen Manman hugged Xiao Lingwei again and whispered in her ear, "Weiwei, thank you for saving me." ”
Xiao Ling was slightly stunned for a moment, then her face became hot, and she felt that the roots of her ears were red, which was really embarrassing.
"Don't say that, I didn't save you." Speaking of this, Xiao Lingwei suddenly asked, "By the way, why am I here?" What about those people? ”
Chen Manman told everything that happened after she fell into the water, and the more she talked, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but punch her the bed a few times.
Xiao Lingwei's eyes suddenly became gloomy after hearing Han Tong reverse right and wrong, and there was endless anger in it.
Han Tong, you wait for me.
At this time, Second Mrs. Chen and Yang Huijun walked in, "Okay, Manman, Weiwei just woke up, you let her have a good rest, let's go outside." ”
"No, I want to" Chen Manman looked at the eyes of Second Mrs. Chen, and then changed his words and said, "Weiwei, you take a rest first, I'll wait for you outside." ”
Xiao Ling nodded slightly and watched her and Second Lady Chen walk out.
Seeing Yang Huijun walking straight towards her, and her face was as black as charcoal, she hurriedly admitted her mistake, "Mother, I'm sorry, I know my mistake." ”
Yang Huijun stopped in front of the bed and looked at her quietly.
Xiao Lingwei was very worried at this time, she originally thought that her mother would scold her as soon as she came up as usual, so she admitted her mistake before her mother spoke.
I didn't expect my mother to scold her, but she didn't say a word, what does this mean?
Xiao Lingwei said that she couldn't understand her mother's thoughts, and she was nervous and scared.
"Mother," she shouted wistfully.
Yang Huijun didn't respond, continued to look at her for a while, and suddenly said, "In two days, you will go to the other hospital with me to live for a few days." ”
How many days are you going to stay in another hospital?
In the past, going to live in another courtyard was nothing more than going to escape the heat in summer, or going to a hot spring in winter, and my mother wanted to take her to a hot spring?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling happily agreed, "Okay." ”
Yang Huijun's face softened slightly, and asked, "Do you feel better now?" Still want to go to a banquet? If you don't want to, I'll ask your grandfather to go and talk to Your Majesty, and we'll go home first. ”
"I'm fine." Xiao Ling lifted the quilt slightly and got out of bed, "I'll clean up and go to Taiji Palace." ”
Yang Huijun looked at her quietly, seeing that she had not combed her hair for a long time, and sighed secretly.
"Give me the comb."
Xiao Lingwei handed the comb to Yang Huijun's hand, and saw Yang Huijun combing her hair from the mirror.
Her movements were gentle, smoothing her hair one at a time.
Her expression was kind, as if the hair in her hand was a rare treasure, precious and valuable.
Xiao Ling was slightly stupid, she had never seen Yang Huijun's gentle side, in her memory, Yang Huijun either taught her martial arts seriously, or fiercely supervised her to practice and study.
Either the father is too gentle and doesn't know how to fight and resist.
Either it was to teach a few brothers to be disobedient and too naughty
At this time, Yang Huijun is like a young woman from a high family, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of her mother's love and elegance.
My mother is so beautiful
"Alright, stand up and let me see."
Yang Huijun's voice pulled Xiao Lingwei back from her thoughts, and she stood up obediently and turned in a circle.
"Well, it's not bad."
Xiao Ling blinked her eyes slightly slyly and asked, "Does my mother mean that you comb my hairstyle well, or do you mean that your daughter looks good?" ”
Yang Huijun raised her hand and waved it over, "It's less smelly and beautiful, let's go, your Aunt Hua is still waiting outside." ”
Xiao Ling dodged her hand slightly, grimaced at her, and ran outside.
Yang Huijun couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.
——
Xiao Guifei picked up her wine glass and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, today is your birthday, the concubine respects you, I wish Your Majesty a long life and a thousand generations." ”
Everyone stood up, held wine glasses in both hands, and shouted in unison, "I wish Your Majesty a long life, and the great abyss for thousands of generations." ”
"Okay."
The emperor drank the wine in the cup and said heroically, "You don't have to be restrained, today, just drink openly and play with pleasure." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The people sat down, and the palace people poured their glasses with wine.
Of course, what the emperor said just now is also the scene, no one dares to really open up drinking, in case he drinks too much and loses his honor in front of the emperor, it is a big crime.
So, everyone just took a sip and ate something occasionally.
Next, the song and dance arranged by Xiao Guifei came up to perform, and everyone watched the song and dance, chatted, and drank some wine from time to time.
After a while, someone suddenly said, "Your Majesty, it's not interesting to watch these songs and dances all the time, it's better to watch something else." ”
The emperor looked over, "What is Concubine De's good opinion?" ”
Concubine De smiled, glanced around the hall, and then said, "Today, the talented and beautiful people in the capital are gathered together, it is better to hold a competition, let them compete, and let everyone open their eyes." ”
"Good idea." The emperor was bored with singing and dancing, and when he heard Concubine De's idea, he immediately agreed, "Yes, but how do you want to compete?" ”
Concubine Shu snorted coldly, "Everyone is gathered together today, Concubine De shouldn't want to compete with all the sons and ladies, right?" ”
The emperor's eyes were cold, as if he did not want to hear her voice.
Because today is his Halloween Day, in line with the meaning of family reunion, he extrajudicially allowed the grounded concubine and the third prince and the second princess to attend the birthday banquet, but he didn't expect that they not only didn't know how to be grateful, but also jumped up and down.
Thinking of the news he had just received, the emperor's heart was a little colder.
"Sister, that's a pretty good idea." Concubine De followed Concubine Shu's words and said, "Today is a happy day, let's not stick to those red tape, as long as you are talented and willing to compete, regardless of men and women, you can come up and compete." ”
Concubine Shu was disdainful in her heart, and said it nicely, but she just wanted to take this opportunity to look at the famous daughters of the six princes.
The sixth prince is the son of Concubine De, sixteen years old this year, and he has reached the age when he should get married.
Today, the officials of the imperial court above the third grade are here, and there are many young ladies who have not yet married, so Concubine De naturally has to seize the opportunity.
