Chapter 16: The Palace Banquet
After going around the palace for a while, the palanquin driver stopped the palanquin, but the three of them had no intention of controlling their bodies, and sat quietly without moving.
Along the way, the atmosphere was suffocating. Yang Xue and Ai Qing don't know much about why Xu Feifei went to be her mother, but they also understand that Xu Feifei must have her helplessness, if she can choose, who would be willing to take that road?
I watched Xu Feifei babbling every day, as if she didn't care at all, but her words were so profound that it was distressing.
The three of them shared this body, and they had always been in harmony, but today this harmony was suddenly broken, which only made people feel extremely empty and embarrassed.
General Zhou saw that his princess did not react, so he could only call at the sedan chair. "Princess, it's here"
"Hey! Call you! Princess Rock. ”
Xu Feifei's heart voice broke the silence, making Yang Xue and Ai Qing, who were still immersed in the atmosphere of Fang Cai, stunned.
In fact, Xu Feifei had already lost her anger along the way, and she also felt that she had already said it, but she couldn't get off the stage for a while, so she could only pretend to be angry and signal Yang Xue to go out.
"Feifei, ...... you" Yang Xue seemed to be still a little foggy, and she couldn't tell whether she was talking angrily or what.
"What are you? The time has come to take care of the overall situation, hurry up and get off the sedan chair, if you don't get off the sedan chair again, General Zhou should think that we will die in the sedan chair. Xu Feifei's voice was a little gentle, and she deliberately dragged out the tail note and said.
When Yang Xue heard Xu Feifei's tone, she knew that she was deflated, and she controlled her body and got off the sedan chair.
What catches your eye is a huge palace, which is not luxurious, but you can also see that it is very well designed.
"It turns out that the palace of this Chiyun Kingdom is ruined on the outside, and gold and jade on the inside! The good stuff is hidden inside. Ai Qing laughed, which made the atmosphere of the three of them even more relaxed.
Under the guidance of the palace maid, Yang Xue controlled her body and sat down, there were not too many people in the hall, but they all looked at this rock princess who covered her face with a light veil with an inquiring face.
Yang Xue didn't pay attention to it, turned her head to General Zhou who was standing behind her and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”
"The prince is still discussing with the emperor and the ministers in the imperial study, and the palace banquet will start in half an hour, and the princess will wait a while."
General Zhou still looked expressionless and cool when he spoke.
"Oh! I know" Yang Xue responded, and said: "When I first came to the palace, I was not very familiar with these princes and ministers, so I was bothered to introduce them to me one by one. ”
"Yes," General Zhou replied. Looking at the princess in front of her, who was well-spoken and thoughtful, and thinking of the princess who was shouting at the palace gate just now, I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
But he immediately introduced Yang Xue one by one with a look of expression: "Princess, please look, the one facing the princess in front of her is the wife of the old prince Mu Tianji, the Ye family, the vacant position to the right is that of the Taifu Chu Huaichu and the prime minister Zhuge Ming, and then to the right is the son of the old prince, Xuan Beile and his wife Xu, and the last vacant is the position of the general Xu Wei, and this Xuan Beile's wife Xu is the sister of the general." The seats behind him are all officials below the second grade, as well as princesses and horses. ”
"Heh~~~ The old prince really occupies half of the sky in this court! The general's sister also married and became a daughter-in-law. Yang Xue chuckled and took a sip of tea.
"The princess is wise." General Zhou lowered his body and continued: "Not only that, but the big Sima Cao Ying on your left is also the party of the old prince, and he is deeply favored!" And on the right are sitting Lord Shangshu Yang Ye and Inspector Yushi He Guangwen, and then there is the position of the two county lords and the county master at the gate of the palace. ”
"Oh~ County Lord? But the daughter of the old prince? ”
"The one in red is indeed the county lord of Longxi, the daughter of the old prince, and the other is the county lord of Wenle, the daughter of the late eldest princess, and the title of the county lord of Wenle was only given by the emperor when he got married a few months ago."
"Humph! The little county lord, so arrogant, really shows the family style! Yang Xue tapped on the low table and muttered to herself.
provoked the other two people in the body to laugh too.
The officials and concubines all sat down one after another, everyone was looking at the princess who was covered with a light veil, Yang Xue had long been accustomed to everyone's gaze, and sat calmly in her position drinking tea.
"The Rock King is here!"
I don't know which sharp-eyed official saw Mu Chun who entered the door first, and shouted in a low voice, and the gaze cast on Yang Xue finally turned away.
Seeing Mu Chun coming towards her, Yang Xue got up and saluted according to the rules. And after Mu Chun decided to greet the ministers, he sat next to Yang Xue.
"Why do you cover your face? But for the sake of the king's face," Mu Chun asked softly, and stretched out his hand to remove her veil, but was avoided by Yang Xue.
Yang Xue hung her head and explained, "My face is healed. It's just that I don't want to reappear in front of people, and I will explain these things to the prince when I return to the mansion. ”
"That's it! The princess is happy. Mu Chun said and took his hand back.
------
"The emperor has arrived."
Hearing the eunuch's rumor, Yang Xue stood up with the ministers and saluted with the support of Mu Chundu: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
"Let's all be flat." The emperor walked quickly to his position and sat down, and the queen who came in with him sat on his right side.
"Ministers don't need to be formal, today's palace banquet is to congratulate King Yan and the princess, and King Yan has just put down the rebellion in the north, and it is also for him to catch the wind." Although the emperor is old, his voice is still full of energy when he speaks.
"Yes!" All the ministers and concubines responded in unison, and sat back as instructed.
The queen raised her eyes slightly, looked at Yang Xue who was sitting next to Mu Chundu, and asked gently, "Why is the princess covering her face?" ”
Without waiting for Yang Xue to reply, the old prince smiled arrogantly: "How can this be a face cover, I think, it's a cover for ugliness!" On the top of the main hall and in front of the emperor, he still hides and does not show his true face, what kind of system has he become! ”
The general Xu Wei also glanced at Yang Xue and said, "Although the princess is from Guluo, when she arrives in Chiyun, she should follow the rules of Chiyun." ”
Yang Xue was just about to open his mouth to refute, but Mu Chunju, who was beside him, suddenly stood up, and asked with a cold look in his eyes, "If the general knows the rules of Chiyun, he should know that the queen is asking the princess, how can you let the others interject!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Weise shrank and didn't dare to say anything, but the old prince locked his eyebrows deeply, with anger on his face and doubts.
Yang Xue saw that Mu Chun decided to stand up for herself, and as soon as her heart warmed, Yingying stood up and explained: "Back to the queen's mother, Qin'er is only because she has had a cold recently, and she is afraid of infecting others, so she covered her face with a light veil, and she is a concubine who is not thoughtful." ”
Then he turned to Mu Chun and said, "Don't be angry, the prince is not a concubine." ”
