Chapter 224: Impostor

The fifth princess opened her mouth, and when she was about to say something, the tenth princess hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Let's take the table." The fifth sister is the master today, don't patronize and gossip, and neglect everyone. ”

Her expression was playful and her tone was relaxed, and one had to relax with her smile.

The fifth princess didn't seem to have anything to say, but when she heard the tenth princess say this, she had to say, "Okay, that sister will help me greet the princess." ”

The tenth princess took advantage of the situation to take Song Zhi's arm and urged the fifth princess, "Got it, sister, go quickly." The princess and I will make a full 'wine bag and rice bag' today. ”

The fifth princess turned her face and smiled, the flattering meaning contained in her smile was much weakened by the sharp arc of the bridge of her nose, which seemed a little far-fetched.

When Jiu Cang was taken away by the fifth princess, she also turned her face to look at Man'er, although she was a child, her eyes were as complicated as an adult.

Song Zhi and the Tenth Princess both saw Jiu Cang's eyes, and Song Zhi lowered his head and smiled at the barbarian to show reassurance.

The tenth princess was a little embarrassed, and after the fifth princess mother and son walked away, she said to Song Zhi with feeling: "Don't be surprised, childish, I have been getting along with Jiucang for the past few days, and I found that this child is also quite pitiful." ”

Song Zhi thought that she was from herself to others, and thought that the children in the palace were precocious, and their deep thoughts were due to the environment, and they couldn't blame the children. Song Zhi didn't fully agree, but just silently.

Seeing Song Zhi's expression, the tenth princess stubbornly continued: "The fifth sister is not an eight-sided delicate character, I don't know how she has been in the palace in the north all these years, although she is the queen, but after so many years, she has been pregnant three times, but there is only one Jiucang under her knees, and her situation in the north can be imagined. I heard the fifth sister say that although Jiucang is loved by the impostor, except for the impostor, other people in the palace don't pay much attention to Jiucang, so they have developed such an eccentric character. ”

Song Zhi saw the tenth princess talking so bitterly, and said, "The princess is too worried, it's just a child, how can I care?" ”

The tenth princess also looked at the fifth princess, and felt that she looked beautiful, but in fact she was pitiful, so she said a few words for Jiu Cang, and was relieved to see that Song Zhi didn't care about her.

Song Zhi and the tenth princess sat down early, most of the seats on the table were already full, and there were only cold dishes on the table, and the table had not yet opened.

"Cousin, I want to eat rose grapes." The barbarian said sweetly to the ten princesses at the next table.

How could the tenth princess not agree, and hurriedly asked the brocade to take a small string of grapes and put it in a small dish for the man'er.

Lin Tianlang glanced at Man'er, and said with a deliberate smile: "Man'er ate my rose-scented grapes, and he has to pay me back." ”

The dim sum fruits on the crystal plate on everyone's seat were not exactly the same, Song Zhi was in front of him was a melon from the west and a pear from Yunnan, as well as a few snow fruits from the north.

Man'er has not lacked anything since he was a child, how can he be stingy, his little hand grabbed a snow fruit very reluctantly, and handed it over to the tenth princess with great difficulty.

Shen Baiyan watched Man'er's movements from the side, and didn't mean to help her.

The tenth princess hurriedly got up to pick it up in person, and said, "Don't pay attention to your cousin, he is teasing you." ”

A snow fruit was cut open and divided into eight petals, and the tenth princess handed one to Lin Tianlang, seeing that he finally had a little smile on his face, he said: "It's still a barbarian who has the ability, so you can relax your heart." ”

"I don't feel comfortable when she talks like that, and I don't understand when she became so concerned about these false names."

Today, when the Yuan'an Palace set up a seat, Lin Tianqing was naturally not qualified to enter, but when she went to the Lin Mansion this morning, she got the news, and she spoke with a bit of yin and yang weirdness, which made Lin Tianlang panic when she heard it.

The tenth princess didn't know what to say to comfort Lin Tianlang, so she only said: "Don't think about her, she doesn't live in the house now, and we can't control many things." Come, let's eat a snow fruit. ”

Lin Tianlang took a bite of the snow fruit, the entrance was cool, only a very light sweetness, like snow water mixed with scattered sugar cubes, and the depression in the throat seemed to dissipate.

Song Zhi was talking to Shen Baiyan, and suddenly there was a rose grape in her hand, she looked down at the small purple fruit in her palm, and heard her little daughter say sweetly: "Mother, eat." ”

Song Zhi bent his eyes and said, "Okay, really good." ”

Two desolate drumbeats sounded, and everyone at the table raised their heads, only to see the impostor and the fifth princess walking in and bowing their heads to everyone.

"Today's wine is thin and thin, please bear with me and indulge in indulgence." The fifth princess is the princess of the Su Dynasty and the queen of the northern kingdom, so she is naturally elegant and generous when she speaks.

The impostor seemed to disdain these hypocritical polite words, only looked around, nodded to Shen Baiyan, and when his eyes fell on Song Zhi and Man'er's faces, he showed a little surprise, but soon returned to calm and banter, and seemed to say a few lip words to Shen Baiyan.

Song Zhi couldn't tell what he said, and when she was about to ask Shen Baiyan, the sound of music interrupted her.

I saw two teams of women wearing northern costumes walking in with light dance steps, they twisted their waists slightly, turned their wrists softly, and the two women led by them waved their hands to the dome in the hall, and suddenly fell many fine snowflakes out of thin air, as if someone had crushed a star.

All the nobles present were well-informed, but they also exclaimed in amazement.

It's just some illusion tricks, Shen Baiyan didn't even raise his eyebrows, he casually glanced at the snowflakes, and then his eyes fell on his wife and daughter, seeing that the two of them were looking at it with great interest, he felt that today was not in vain.

The first dish is stewed pigeon eggs with blood mushrooms, each person has a cup, Song Zhi and Man'er have always disliked the taste of blood mushrooms, as soon as the soup cup is opened, the two of them lose their appetite.

Song Zhi only moistened his lips with soup, and the cup in front of the barbarian simply asked the maid to withdraw.

The impostor happened to see this scene, so he gave a few orders to the entourage beside him.

After a while, the two new cups of soup were presented to Shen Baiyan's table, and the maidservant who served the soup also opened the soup cup and handed it to Shen Baiyan to read, before giving it to Song Zhi and Man'er.

"What kind of soup is this?" Song Zhi looked at the snow lotus-like thing in the soup cup and asked.

"Snow arc velvet is a very valuable mushroom in the northern country, probably because the impostor saw that you don't like blood mushrooms, so I changed this soup." Shen Baiyan had also drunk this soup in the northern kingdom in the past, and speculated that Song Zhi should like this taste.

Song Zhi and Man'er tasted it, and it really had a unique flavor.

Although they are dignitaries and dignitaries who come today, there are traces to follow. Except for Shen Baiyan and Song Ling, most of them are civil officials, and even if they have military attachΓ©s, they are all young.

Because the northern kingdom was not peaceful with the Su Dynasty before the impersonation of the king. Many old generals are suspicious of the northern country, so naturally they will not be invited.

Song Zhi actually saw Wu Zhi and Wu Niang from afar, although Wu Zhi has been promoted again and again recently, but his appearance here still made Song Zhi a little surprised.

"I heard that when he went to the north before, he solved a troublesome case for the impostor, so he had a bit of a friendship." Shen Baiyan followed Song Zhi's gaze and answered the doubts in her heart for her.

"Princess Regent." Song Zhi heard someone calling him, and subconsciously turned around, only to see a servant girl standing behind him.

"What?" When Song Zhi was talking to the palace maid, Shen Baiyan peeled a sharp almond and put it in the dish in front of her.

"The back hall invited a shadow puppet master, I wonder if Princess Shuqing is interested?"

The dishes are served one by one, and halfway through the banquet, the barbarian is a little unable to sit still, how can the child's heart sit on a chair for a long time?

Song Zhi saw that many children had gone to the back hall, so he asked Man'er, "Do you want to go?" The brute nodded.

Song Zhi said to Si Cha: "Okay, then you can accompany the princess." He also called the water chestnut and went with him.

Si Cha's age is not very old, but she is already a full girl, and whenever she serves the barbarian, she always has to bend down, which looks very inconvenient.

Song Zhimu sent Ling Jiao, Si Cha and Man'er to the back hall, and when he looked back, he found that the impostor had rubbed into Shen Baiyan's side at some point, and was muttering something to Shen Baiyan in Northern Chinese.

Shen Baiyan occasionally answered him with a word or two, and spoke it in Northern Chinese, Song Zhi thought to himself, I don't know how many things this person still doesn't know.

Song Zhi didn't understand, so he simply stopped eavesdropping, and seriously ate the plate of crispy fried small tender meat in front of him.

The impostor was very interested in talking, and asked his entourage to bring his own wine bowl, and chatted with Shen Baiyan while drinking, he was such a tall person, sitting in a corner next to Shen Baiyan aggrievedly, and he didn't feel awkward.

Shen Baiyan still had no expression on his face, but Song Zhi could feel that he was very relaxed now, and he thought that this impostor should have the same temper as him.

"You're a good person." The impostor was full of northern dialect, but such a Chinese sentence suddenly appeared, which made Song Zhi stunned.

The impostor said more than one sentence in Chinese, saying: "I thought that the main wife was always not in good color, didn't it say that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife, and marrying a concubine and marrying a woman?" Why can you have both? ”

Song Zhi couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Shen Baiyan also glanced at the imposter helplessly, he knew that once this person opened the conversation, he would open his mouth and only said, "Shut up." ”

The fifth princess looked at this side frequently, but she didn't open her mouth to urge the impostor to go back, Song Zhi couldn't ask Shen Baiyan to drive the impostor back, right? I had to pretend I didn't notice it.

Seeing that the fifth princess couldn't hold it back and was about to get up, Song Zhi saw Si Cha hurriedly coming back from the back hall with Man'er in her arms. At the same time, the maid who was waiting for Jiucang also came to the fifth princess and whispered a few words.

Si Cha Xu was too anxious, and he didn't notice that the impostor was on the side, so he knelt down tightly with a brute in his arms, and said to Song Zhi: "Princess, Sister Water Chestnut is detained." ”

"What? Why? Song Zhi saw that Man'er was frightened, and hurriedly hugged her over.

"Princess Jiucang poured water on our princess, but was blocked by Sister Water Chestnut, she deliberately made trouble again, wanted to bully the princess, and she accidentally fell, but it was Sister Water Chestnut who pushed her!"

Si Cha had never seen such a rude and willful person, and after he finished speaking indignantly, he realized that the impostor poked his head out from behind Shen Baiyan, and he was so frightened that the three souls lost their seven spirits.
