Half a month later

The birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager of the Great Yuan, the banquet invited all parties, in order to prepare for this banquet, the emperor can be said to have taken great pains, and all the treasures of all parties were arranged in the palace, but it was eye-catching, and the concubines under the harem were so noisy, and the emperor also opened one eye and closed one eye for a long time.

And Ling Xiao, who came back from the early victory on the border, saw that the palace was so lively, and he was curious, usually the queen mother is also a thrifty person, and she doesn't understand why this birthday banquet is so bothersome.

So, when he retreated, he caught up with Xiao Zhuo's footsteps, and he was bent on asking the truth, also to find out the news of Feng Qingxuan, and Iris disappeared and lost contact with him, and this time he also had to ask Xiao Zhuo clearly.

The palace itself is full of twists and turns, there are many roads, and Ling Xiao, who has been around, is dizzy when he comes back, and he catches up with Xiao Zhuo's footsteps but is entangled by the fifth princess Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ningxin Xu Lingxiao's mind was not a day or two, she saw Ling Xiao immediately go around to him, got up on his own, and talked nonsense, and in the end, it can be regarded as punctuality: "The queen mother's birthday banquet is very lively, not only all parties come to pay their respects, but even the king of Pingnan, who has not shown up, has sent people to come, I heard that the county lord and the prince who have returned from Qingshan Temple to recuperate. ”

Ling Xiao was a little puzzled: "Hasn't King Pingnan always been in contact with other countries, why is he willing to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet this time?" ”

Xiao Ning stroked her hair, walked to the pavilion and poured a cup of tea, and said slowly: "You don't know this, let me tell you, you are not allowed to tell others." Xiao Ning also looked aside, approached Ling Xiao very mysteriously, and whispered: "I heard that the prince of Pingnan came to talk about peace with our Dayuan this time. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Xiao frowned, and looked at Xiao Ning inexplicably: "How do you know, Nanqiu has never been involved in the affairs of other countries, why did he suddenly make peace with Dayuan this time?" ”

Xiao Ning shook his head: "I don't know, it was the third brother who told me like this, and he also said that the prince of Pingnan came to make peace, if this is the case, it would be just right, and marry my annoying fourth sister, so that I can be with you every day." ”

After saying that, Xiao Ning grabbed Ling Xiao's arm and leaned on him affectionately, Ling Xiao's eyes looked around, and pulled Xiao Ning's hand: "Princess, what are you doing, in front of the public, it is unseemly." ”

Xiao Ning didn't take Ling Xiao's words seriously at all, she grabbed Ling Xiao's arm tightly: "What if others see it, have we always been like this before you left?" Afraid of what? ”

Saying these words, Xiao Ning was not afraid, in her heart, she had long regarded Ling Xiao as the person she would marry in the future, and it was already a sure thing, and Ling Xiao could not be objected.

Both inside and outside the palace know the friendship of the five princesses to General Ling, but they are all looking at it, and no one can say it, but there are always a few who are against her, and a few palace maids slowly walk in the distance, surrounded by a self-confident and graceful woman in the middle, she is wearing a pink skirt, with a hairpin on her head, and a clear and tall appearance on her face, walking towards Xiao Ning.

"Yo, fifth sister, what are you doing, but why is it still a girl who is entangled with a man in this imperial garden, if it is spread out, it will not make people say that our royal family has no rules." The fourth princess, Xiao Wen, glanced at Ling Xiao, walked around behind him and walked to Xiao Ning's side.

Don't look at Xiao Ning and Xiao Wen were raised under the name of the queen early, he is not a mother, Xiao Ning's mother Yang is a well-informed woman, but because of poor health, she passed away after giving birth to Xiao Ning, but behind her is a huge prime minister's mansion, Xiao Wen is different, her mother is a palace maid who serves the queen, and was favored by the emperor first, I thought that my mother could be expensive with her son, but I didn't want to give birth to a princess, and finally the queen mother was angry and drove her mother out of the palace.

Xiao Wen was jealous of Xiao Ning, he was held in the palm of his hand by the people in the palace when he was young, afraid of falling and afraid of holding it, and when she grew up, she was even more jealous of Xiao Ning, so every time as long as it was something Xiao Ning liked, she would subconsciously take the lead.

And Ling Xiao is naturally the two of them have fought since childhood, Xiao Ning is good-natured, but she looks at Ling Xiao more closely than anyone else, and she can't let it be given to Xiao Wen.

When the two sisters, Xiao Ning and Xiao Wen, got together, and all the palace people retreated, naturally they knew that there would definitely be an incident between them.

Ling Xiao was caught in the middle by them, neither advancing nor retreating, he had to find a way to get out, and he stayed away from the two: "I just remembered that I haven't seen the emperor when I come back this time, since the two princesses are accompanying each other, Weichen will retire first." ”

It's just that before Ling Xiao left, the two of them stopped in front of him first, Xiao Ning pulled Ling Xiao's arm: "I met first, Brother Ling Xiao has to go with me." ”

Xiao Wen didn't give up: "Why did you say you saw it first, I also said that I saw it first." ”

The two were at a stalemate, no one let go, and the father-in-law, who came from a distance, slowed down his pace when he looked at this scene, sighed heavily, and hurriedly walked to him: "Hey, my two little ancestors, it's time for this, don't make trouble, the queen mother has arrived, the emperor called the servants to find a few, let's go with the slaves." ”

The two stared at each other and waited for each other to let go first, and Ling Xiao then took off with Father-in-law Xu: "Father-in-law, I just remembered that there are some things that have not been done yet, and I will go to the banquet myself in a while, and you can bring the princesses over first." ”

After that, the soles of his feet were like oil, and he quickly slipped away, and there was no shadow, Xiao Ning looked at Ling Xiao's figure reluctantly, stomped his feet, and looked at Xiao Wen angrily: "It's all your fault, scare people away." ”

Xiao Ning flicked her sleeves and walked ahead quickly, Gonggong Xu had to follow behind, Xiao Wen walked behind Xiao Ning with an unhappy face: "I really don't know who scared me away, and I still have the face to say." ”

When Xiao Ning heard this, he was immediately furious; Pointing at Xiao Wen and shouting: "What do you say, you tell me again." ”

Father-in-law Xu hurriedly stood in the middle of the two when he saw that it was not good: "Oh, princesses, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, the envoys from all over the world are here, you can't let people see the joke." ”

Along the way, Gonggong Xu was frightened and finally sent the two princesses to the banquet, Xiao Ning and Xiao Wen walked in front of the Queen Mother, Xiao Ning was much more relaxed in front of the Queen Mother, she snuggled up to the Queen Mother's side, and said in a coquettish voice: "Imperial grandmother, you can make Ning'er think so much, these days, my father said that you eat fasting and chant Buddha in the house all day long, and you don't let Ning'er go to see you." ”

Xiao Ning's words can be said that the queen mother's heart was overjoyed, she took Xiao Ning's hand and sat down in front of her: "Tell grandmother to take a good look, hey, I've lost weight in the past few days, look at this little face is haggard, tell the imperial grandmother what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Ning glanced at Xiao Wen: "It's not the imperial sister yet, he always says that Ning Er is unruly, and what he says about Ning Er tea is not thinking about food." ”

Speaking of Empress Dowager Xiao Wen's face, she raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Wen expressionlessly: "You are older than Ning'er, you have to let her do everything, and when you get married in the future, if you also bully other people's daughters like this, don't you say that our royal family has no rules?" ”

Xiao Wen had to bear what the Queen Mother said, she lowered her head, lowered her eyebrows and responded: "Wen'er knows, Grandmother Xie Huang mentioned it." ”

Having said that, the teeth in Xiao Wen's mouth creaked, and she couldn't show it because of the Queen Mother's presence, the Queen Mother glanced at Xiao Wen and picked out a seat from the corner and pointed: "You go and sit there, don't stand here and be an eyesore." ”

On the one hand, the queen heard it and thought about it in her heart, she followed the queen mother's words and changed the topic: "Queen Mother, Ning'er is also a big girl, and she is almost at the age of marriage. ”

The queen mother inspected the stage, the audience was already full of ministers, this birthday greeting can be described as very grand, the emperor sat in a high position, all matters were ready, the emperor got up and raised a glass to speak: "Today's queen mother's birthday, the envoys of various countries also came to congratulate, I returned to General Lingxiao victoriously can be described as double happiness......

Every time this kind of banquet, the emperor's words are always non-stop, in the inconspicuous corner of the stage, Feng Qingxuan secretly looked at the ministers under the stage, this is the first time she has entered the palace, and she saw the emperor sitting majestically on the high seat, but there was no slightest wave in her heart, looking at the dancers who had changed one after another in the center, she raised her wine glass as if she was bored, and drank one glass after another leisurely.

Externally, Nanqiu can be regarded as isolated from the world, naturally some people feel surprised by Feng Qingxuan, the county lord from Nanqiu, she raised her eyes slightly, feeling a strong gaze, she raised her eyes to see a pair of dark eyes, the man stared at him with a cold face, Feng Qingxuan was stunned, and his heart was empty, Tuoba Yu saw Feng Qingxuan's look looking for her gaze, and reminded her in her ear: "That's King Qin, the emperor's brother, and the god of war of Dayuan on the battlefield." ”

Feng Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then regained her expression, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "I said how do you feel familiar, it turns out to be a prince, and he does look a little like the emperor." ”

Tuoba Yu smiled and said nothing, looking at Xiao Zhuo's obscure eyes, and then turned his gaze to look away, and at the same time, his strong gaze looked at Feng Qingxuan's side, Tuoba Yu smiled in his heart, it seems that there are many interesting things to happen on this trip.

Feng Qingxuan glanced at the woman beside Xiao Zhuo, only to see that the woman's eyes kept glancing at her, she suddenly felt strange and touched her face, the veil was well put on her face, and she didn't notice anything unusual, so she asked Tuoba Yu: "I have mushrooms on my face, why do people always look at me." ”

Tuoba Yu was amused by Feng Qingxuan's witty words, and almost choked on a mouthful of wine in his throat, he eased up and said with a smile: "It must be that they think that the younger sister of this son is beautiful and beautiful, and they can't help but look at it twice." ”

Feng Qingxuan glanced at Tuoba Yu suspiciously, covered the veil on his face tightly, and couldn't help muttering: "What can you see with a veil, I'm afraid it's not that they are clumsy and treat me as a monster." ”
