Chapter 438, Palace Banquet
Soon they arrived at the palace, which today was full of singing and dancing, and there was a constant uproar. There are beauties dancing in feather clothes, and some people playing the piano.
Today, the emperor said that he wanted to have fun with the people, and specially set up a banquet in the palace, saying that he would celebrate the New Year with everyone. There are many people here today, including civil and military officials, daughters of families, and concubines.
Ye Liangchen glanced around, and the spacious and bright Chongming Hall was full of people. There are many people, she is very face-to-face, but today Murong Yan also came, he came with Ye Linlang, and was sitting next to Ye Liangchen and Gong Jingchen.
Gong Jingchen's acting skills today are particularly outstanding, as soon as he entered the hall, he took Ye Liangchen's hand and hid behind her. He didn't seem to know everyone present, and his face was rusty.
When everyone saw Gong Jingchen's appearance, they all whispered underneath. The news that the four princes were stupid has spread all over the capital, and it has also become a topic of conversation among the people in the capital after dinner.
Official A said: "It seems that as rumored, the fourth prince is really stupid. ”
"Actually, the fourth prince is very smart and very good, it's a pity, it's a pity that it's become like this now." Officer B sighed, with a look of embarrassment.
"I don't know if he can be cured of this disease, it's a pity that he can't be cured." Officer C continued.
"That's good, at least he doesn't threaten our third prince, but the fool eats it except for eating. Although he used to do nothing, who knows what he was doing. Even if it's a straw bale, they will think about being high, which will more or less make our third prince gamble. Official Ding went on to say that he was the ultimate fan of Gong Zixuan, but his IQ was not very high.
"How can you say that, I don't think the fourth prince is necessarily a straw bag." Officer B was a little unconvinced, but kept his voice low. He is more fair, and he is very accurate in his view of people.
Gong Jingchen has heard many versions of these words a long time ago. But he is not angry, and the world will say whatever it should say.
Ye Liangchen led him like a child, and after saluting everyone with him, he sat down.
Because Murong Yan and Ye Linlang were sitting next to them, their awkward glances were always intersecting at an inopportune time.
Murong Yan's eyes fell on Ye Liangchen, and he said with a smile: "You are here, Happy New Year." ”
"Happy New Year, Murong." Ye Liangchen also said to him with a smile, then turned to look at Ye Linlang and said, "Linlang, Happy New Year." ”
"Sister, you really want to look good." Ye Linlang's gaze fell on her, with a look of admiration.
She is still as generous as ever, wearing a dark green long skirt that outlines her bumpy figure. The eyebrows are like the daisies of the distant mountains, and the face is like the peach blossoms in March.
"Linlang, don't make fun of me. I didn't recognize you when I came in just now, you see, how beautiful this little face is, and most importantly, you love to smile more than before. Ye Liangchen's eyes looked at her, and he was also smiling.
And Gong Jingchen was completely ignored. So he turned her face childishly, and said angrily: "Ah Liang, I'm hungry, I want you to pick up vegetables for me......"
When Ye Liangchen just wanted to say that he would clamp it himself, he suddenly thought of cooperating with him to perform, so he smiled gently, but stepped on him hard under the table.
"Okay, I remember that you like spicy food the most, so I'll give you more." Then Ye Liangchen sent all kinds of spicy and miserable food to his bowl, but there was an impeccable smile on his face.
Gong Jingchen: "......"
In fact, a certain prince can't eat too spicy food, and if he eats too much, he will have a rash all over his body, which is directly disfigured.
Ye Liangchen smiled and handed him the glass bowl, Gong Jingchen suddenly had an idea, his hand was soft, and he pretended that he accidentally didn't catch it.
In the end, a certain prince immediately changed his expression, drooping his head, and there seemed to be tears flowing out of his eyes, which were the kind of pouting in his eyes, as if he was full of guilt and self-blame.
"Ah Liang...... I'm sorry, I accidentally didn't catch it, I'm really stupid, do you dislike me......" This pitiful appearance was vividly interpreted by a certain prince, making the people around him even more convinced that he was completely stupid.
And the daughters of Zhou Guo who like him all sweated for him, distressed and sighed.
The four princes who turned all beings upside down in the past may have gone to see it in the world of fools, and they don't want to come back to be a beautiful man in the world.
At this time, a few palace maids immediately came to clean the place, and the level of service and enthusiasm was first-class.
Ye Liangchen had no choice but to pat his hand and said softly: "It's okay, I'll clip it to you again, good." ”
After speaking, a certain woman pinched his face.
"No need, Ah Liang, I want to take a good look at you, you just sit quietly." Gong Jingchen immediately waved his hand, and then straightened her.
To put it bluntly, he's jealous, the kind that's very jealous. The most important thing is that he doesn't want to eat the food that Ye Liangchen gave him. In Ye Liangchen's words, it was simply dark cuisine.
Murong Yan kept looking at them with his peripheral eyes, with a faint sadness in his eyes. Although a lot of time has passed, he still likes her. Naturally, he couldn't get used to her intimacy with others......
Ye Liangchen regretted it a little, why did she sit here, so she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into......
There were concubines competing with each other for favor in the emperor's place, and the royal nobles smiled at him coquettishly, and then stretched out their fingers like white jade: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the concubine's newly made Kodan?" ”
Concubine Zhao looked at them with contempt, winked at the emperor again, and gently stroked her temples: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the concubine's newly combed hairstyle today?" ”
The emperor was embarrassed, but he still smiled reluctantly: "It's all good-looking, and the concubines are all good-looking." ”
Because, he wants to live with a smile.
Concubine Qing turned sideways and talked with the queen, but she put the emperor aside, in the harem, the only thing that does not have to compete for favor is the queen and Concubine Qing, so they are the real winners in life.
The following is the chat between various officials, big and small, most of whom are talking about the emperor's establishment of the crown prince. There are also some officials who are more worried about the country and the people are talking about poverty alleviation, and they want to accurately alleviate poverty and let the people make a fortune. There were also some more laid-back officials, most of whom chatted for a while about where to eat.
Then there was the group of ladies talking to each other, and the most popular was Li Yangyue. However, her face was cold and cold inside, which was different from those smiling warblers and Yanyan, so she attracted the attention of many princes and grandsons.
Ye Liangchen can't enter the girl's circle now, so the people he talks to her about are noblewomen.
There are a lot of people who come today, including Gong Yidong, Ye Qingfeng, Ye Liuli, Prince, Ye Qianying, Gong Zixuan......
