Chapter 30: The Palace Feast

"Hey, have you heard?" The ladies of the family got together and chewed the root of their tongues.

"What's the matter?" The queen of Shangshu Mansion, the queen Qiaolan, asked with bright eyes, urging the other party not to sell Guanzi.

Li Ruyu, the concubine of the household servant, smiled, and glanced at Hua Roulan who was standing not far away, she was always so high, but she was just a concubine, and she didn't take her in her eyes at all, hehe, such a thing as Miss Huafu, the whole Huafu will be ashamed, you want to hide it, I just won't let you get your wish.

"I heard that Miss Huafu eloped with someone." Li Ruyu didn't deliberately lower her voice, causing the people standing next to her to prick up their ears and move their footsteps gently towards the place where she was standing.

"What?" Wang Qiaolan shouted exaggeratedly, then noticed the gazes around her, and hurriedly covered her mouth: "What you said is true?" How could the Flower Shadow do such a thing? ”

"It's more real than real gold." Li Ruyu saw that Hua Roulan's face was unhappy, and she said everything she heard even harder.

Hua Roulan stood in place, watching Li Ruyu's hard-working performance, a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, she thought she was harming her? No, no, she's helping her. Hua Roulan's face is ugly, how happy her heart is, Flower Shadow Charm, Flower Shadow Charm, even if you don't die, this time you don't want to fight with me Hua Roulan.

Everything you have is mine, your fiancé, the position of the concubine of your General's Mansion, and even the favor of the Queen Mother, everything should be mine, mine!

A thick flame burned under Hua Roulan's eyes, scorching, twisted, and crazy.

Hua Yuqing, the fifth lady of Huafu, stood aside, her afterglow swept over Hua Roulan's distorted eyes, and a touch of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, but Hua Ran'er, the youngest concubine in Huafu, did not dare to say much, facing the eyes of everyone sweeping over, she hid behind Hua Roulan and Hua Yuqing in fear.

The woman's mouth was full of gossip, but during the time of waiting to enter the palace, the great achievements of the Flower Shadow Charm had been publicized, and everyone looked at Zhao Yanran and the eyes of several people, all of them were full of sarcasm and ridicule, they wanted to see how the Flower Shadow Charm would explain to the Queen Mother for such a move.

With a creak, the majestic gate was pushed by several guards.

"Ladies and ladies, let's go into the palace with the miscellaneous family." Sharp voices sounded in everyone's ears, and as far as they could see, a chief eunuch dressed in a blue brocade robe and holding a dust whisk in his hand, the prince stood in front of everyone fairly, not respectful but not demeanorful.

The sharp voice made goosebumps run on everyone's bodies, but no one dared to show a look of disgust and disdain, and followed him respectfully, not daring to say a word.

This prince is a big celebrity around the emperor, even the ministers are polite to him, not to mention the family members of these ministers. And this palace is no better than the outside, even if you say a wrong word here, you may lose your head, be cautious in words and deeds, even if there is no warning from their master, they dare not say anything.

Everyone followed behind the princess, walked through the corridor waist and waist, and the nine-curved corridor with high eaves and teeth, and came to the main hall where everything had already been prepared.

The first thing that catches your eye is the red carpet spread all over the floor and the three majestic golden chairs placed at the highest point of the main hall, needless to say, this must be the seat of the Queen Mother, the current emperor Qian Aolin and Zhao Guifei.

On the lower platform, there are gold-plated openwork seats and black jade tables, which are the places for the favored concubines and princesses in the palace.

On both sides of the main hall, there are seats and wooden tables with pear wood patterns, and there is a three-meter-wide aisle in between, with the minister's wife and lady on the right, and the minister and the princes on the left.

Although Zhao Yanran is just an aunt, because of the relationship between the generals, as a top position, those ladies who are marrying Ming Media are disdainful but jealous.

"Look, look, it's all the princes."

I don't know whose exclamation caused everyone to look up, Hua Roulan hurriedly stood up, stroked the Zhu Hai on her head with her hand, and stared at the second prince Qianhongyan who was walking with her eyes tenderly

This time, Qianhongyan wore a snow-white satin, a long tassel of white silk tied around his waist, a piece of mutton fat white jade tied on it, and a soft smoke and light yarn on the outside. With long eyebrows and sideburns, bright starry eyes, a beautiful nose bridge, and fair skin, it is no wonder that all the daughters are crazy about him.

Next to Qian Hongyan, the fourth prince Qian Yuzhao wore a dark blue embroidered bamboo robe, which made him heroic, and his oblique eyes were full of wisdom.

The fifth prince Qian Wenxuan, the sixth prince Qian Wenlin walked behind the two, the eight points of similar faces, one did not smile, the other smiled more than once, if it were not for the different dresses and personalities of the two, it would really be silly and unclear.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao has arrived." A sharp voice came, and the princes hurriedly walked to their positions, standing and waiting respectfully, while the ministers' families sitting on the seats had already stood to greet each other when the princes appeared.

"See the Queen Mother, see the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine." Everyone straightened up one after another and said respectfully.

"Everyone, please be courteous." Qian Aolin supported the Queen Mother, and said cordially with a little majesty.

"Your Majesty."

After Qian Aolin helped the Queen Mother to sit down, his sharp eyes swept away, and then he smiled: "The Qing family doesn't have to be restrained, sit down." ”

Only then did the minister's family members who were standing dare to sit down.

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes, sat on a high seat and glanced at the people at the banquet, there were countless warblers and swallows, which made her dazzled, and she couldn't tell which one was her charm.

"The banquet begins, and music is played." The prince waved the dust, and the beautiful orchestral movement rose leisurely, and the dancers shook their cloud sleeves and danced.

Drinking, having fun, the atmosphere is lively and pleasant.

At the end of the song, the dance is over, and the delicate pastry food exudes an enticing aroma.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the queen mother is in a hurry." Zhao Guifei was born beautiful, with a pair of bright pupils rippling spring water, and when she looked at her eyes like this, the bones in her body were crisp. And her voice is even more beautiful, like a yellow bird, soft and soft, so unpleasant.

The dark purple splendid dress was worn on her body, and it made her glamorous, and she was stunned that only Hua Roulan, the first beauty in Hengnan, could beat her in the slightest.

After her reminder, Qian Aolin remembered the purpose of this banquet, and a light of unknown meaning flashed in the tiger's eyes.

"Ai Fei reminded me." Qian Aolin said with a smile, the prince stood behind him and listened to it clearly, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, is it that the flower shadow ghost is too non-existent? Why didn't he see her in the crowd just now!

"Queen Mother, do you want to see Mei'er?" Qian Aolin tilted his head and asked lovingly.

The Queen Mother was a little impatient when she was waiting, and when she heard Qian Aolin ask, she was naturally overjoyed, and she said: "The mourning family is old, and I miss the days when Mei'er screamed the imperial grandmother with a milky voice." Although he didn't say it explicitly, Qian Aolin understood what he meant by his Mu Mu Queen.

"Yes, my sons miss it very much." Qian Aolin said in kind.

"Where is the shadow of the flower, take a step forward." Qian Aolin's tiger eyes swept around, and his voice was grand and majestic.

Hua Junyang's slightly drooping eyes were so deep that people couldn't see through the emotions in them, a touch of sarcasm flashed in Qian Hongyan's eyes, his eyes circled, but his brows were furrowed, why didn't she see the trace of Hua Yinghua, and she dared to be absent from such a banquet?

The corners of Hua Roulan's red mouth hooked up a sneer, and the whispering voices of everyone came into her ears, Zhao Yanran got up from her seat, walked out of the table, and knelt on the ground.

"Who's on your knees?" Qian Aolin's brows furrowed slightly.

"Aunt Huafu." Zhao Yanran didn't dare to call herself Mrs. Hua, but when she said the word aunt again, her eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.

"Why are you kneeling?" The shadow of the flower is nowhere to be seen, and Aunt Huafu is kneeling on the ground, all of which makes people's hearts full of questions, and Qian Aolin is no exception.

"Back to the emperor, the eldest lady suddenly became seriously ill and couldn't face the saint, the incident happened suddenly, and she didn't have time to show the saint, and I hope that the emperor will atone for his sins." Hua Yanran pleaded with God's grace.

"Huh~" Hua Yanran's words were exchanged for a burst of laughter, and she suddenly became seriously ill? I eloped with someone, right?

"Seriously ill, how is Mei'er now? Why didn't you say it earlier, Your Majesty, let the imperial doctor go and show the child. Qian Aolin didn't say anything, but the Queen Mother couldn't suppress the worry in her heart, and hurriedly asked, and even sent the imperial doctor to see her.

Hua Yanran panicked for a while, unable to speak, terrified and scared to the extreme, but she sneered in her heart, and the seeds of viciousness took root and sprouted.

"Isn't it serious?" Seeing that Zhao Yanran didn't speak, the Queen Mother was anxious, and even the question was mixed with a trace of panic.

At this moment, she is no longer the queen mother, just an old man who learned that her relatives were seriously ill.

The Queen Mother's concern for Hua Yingmei has exceeded Zhao Yanran's expectations, anyway, Dugu Yan'er is not the Queen Mother's biological daughter, why does the Queen Mother care about her more than her own grandson?

"Queen Mother, that Flower Shadow Phantom is not seriously ill at all, but she is not ..... eloped with someone." I didn't know that the four words of shame were swallowed, Li Ruyu stood up and replied loudly to the Queen Mother's question, but the people of the Hua family couldn't say it, so she preached such ugly things for them.

With a "click", Hua Junyang crushed the wine glass in his hand, and shot at Li Yi, the head of the household, and his eyes were full of ruthless anger, Li Yi's heart jumped, and he wished that he had never had Li Ruyu, a brainless daughter, should she say this kind of thing? Can't she see the Queen Mother's love for the Flower Shadow Charm? Even if this is true, the Queen Mother will only take her anger out on the person who said it.

Li Yi hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground, trying to calm the anger surging in the Queen Mother's heart, "Queen Mother, courtier-"

"The queen mother atonements, the emperor atonements, the eldest lady, she's really sick." Zhao Yanran said loudly before Li Yi, kowtowing vigorously, just two atonements, which already explained everything.

The eldest lady of the Hua family really eloped with someone!

"Wow~" boiled, the discussion continued, the queen mother's face was blue, because of anger, the majesty came out of the body, the sharp gaze swept over the people present, and glanced at Li Ruyu standing behind the table, the gaze, cold like a poisonous snake, made people shudder.

Long Yan was furious, and Qian Aolin threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground, which exploded in front of Zhao Yanran.

Pointing at Hua Junyang, he asked angrily: "Hua Junyang, you say, you tell me." ”
