Chapter 177: Hatred from the Empress
"Father, Worry-free wants Sister Rui to sit with Worry-free."
As the words of the seventh princess fell, everyone was stunned, what kind of reward is this? And Ling Qingrui, who was eating there, almost choked when she heard this, and looked up at the Seventh Princess in surprise.
Ling Qingrui's face was full of surprise, even incredible, and she forgot to swallow the pastry in her mouth, which made the corners of Jing Mofeng's lips bend again and again, and the look in her eyes was extremely gentle, even the four princes beside him noticed it, and her eyes turned slightly.
The emperor and the queen who were sitting on it were even more stunned, the queen listened to the seventh princess talk about this "Sister Rui", and naturally knew who she was talking about, but she didn't want such a credit, the seventh princess only made such a simple request, and couldn't help but say: "Don't worry, have you thought about it?" It would be nice for you to tell your mother about such a trivial matter, but now your father has promised to reward you. ”
The queen's tone is as much spoiled as she wants, and everyone in the world knows that the emperor and the queen and Prince De are all very spoiled by the seventh princess, and no one will feel strange at the moment.
The seventh princess looked up with a small face, and said innocently: "Queen Mother, Erchen is the daughter of her father, and it is a matter of course to share her father's worries, before I said that asking for a reward was just fun, so that my father was happy, but Erchen really likes Sister Rui, and if Sister Rui hadn't told ...... today"
Seeing that the Seventh Duke was about to tell the truth, Ling Qingrui's heart jumped, and she hurriedly swallowed the pastry in her mouth, but before she could speak, someone had already interrupted the Seventh Princess's words for her.
"Don't worry, you like the county lord of An Jin, the county lord of An Jin is dignified and intelligent, and he will definitely take care of you, I think my father and the queen will not block your little request, why don't you hurry up and invite the county lord of An Jin to sit next to you?"
The person who spoke was Jing Mofeng, and he also winked at the seventh princess gently, the seventh princess immediately realized that Sister Rui was low-key, and she was not the kind of person who came out of everything, so she would not easily agree to sit next to her, but at this time, she had already told her father and queen mother, and Sister Rui couldn't refuse.
The seventh princess looked happily in the direction where Ling Qingrui was, and the queen also smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, the concubine remembers that this county lord of Anjin was named the county lord because she saved us without worry, and it is rare for someone to be able to enter the eyes of worry-free, and the concubine also wants to see what this county lord of Anjin looks like, I don't know where the county lord of Anjin is?" ”
Listening to what the queen said, Ling Qingrui's heart couldn't help but rise a strange feeling, although she was named the county lord because of the credit for saving the seventh princess, but most of the reason was probably because of the poison of the plague in Yunzhou, but the queen didn't say a word about it.
After the queen said this, Ling Qingrui seemed to be the kind of person who would do anything to cling to the powerful, so she would do everything possible to save the seventh princess.
The queen's various doting attitudes towards the seventh princess before had already made Ling Qingrui feel a little strange, because the queen, as the mother of a country, no matter how she spoiled the princess, she would not let her mess around on such an important occasion, even if she was pretentious, she should have a little bit of blame, but the queen was completely spoiled, as if the seventh princess could do anything.
If it weren't for the queen sitting above, and the seventh princess was the queen's biological daughter and her only child now, I am afraid that Ling Qingrui would have thought of a word at the first time, that is, "killing".
spoil the seventh princess to heaven and make her lawless until she angers the emperor......
No matter what Ling Qingrui thought in her heart, at this time, the queen called her name, Ling Qingrui had to step forward, knelt down in the hall to salute the emperor and the queen, and said: "The courtiers see the emperor, see the queen's mother, and see all the mothers." ”
Ling Qingrui, who was kneeling there, immediately felt that there were two eyes shining directly on her body, and she didn't need to look up to know that it was the eyes of the emperor and the queen, the emperor's eyes were full of scrutiny, judgment and strong majesty, while the queen's eyes were contempt, suspicion and hatred......
Bitterness?
Ling Qingrui drew a question mark in her heart, why did the queen hate her? Thinking of what happened in the Dry Rain Palace before, Ling Qingrui had to guess if she had offended the queen in some way, but without waiting for her to think about it, she suddenly noticed that the gaze with hidden hatred disappeared again, as if it was just her illusion just now.
"Hmm." The queen nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, worry-free has always had a high vision, quite the style of the emperor back then, it is rare that she likes the county lord of An Jin, and the concubines see that she is also a child of the rules, so the emperor will follow the worry-free." ”
"The queen looks at the arrangement." The emperor doesn't seem to have any special ideas.
"Don't worry, take the county lord of Anjin and sit over."
When the seventh princess heard the queen's approval, she immediately shouted and thanked the emperor and the queen, and without waiting to sit back in her seat, she immediately arranged for the palace people to add a seat next to her.
Ling Qingrui was helpless, so she had to thank the emperor and queen, and sat beside the seventh princess in a proper manner, slightly lowering her eyes to cover the waves in her heart.
She didn't want to be so eye-catching, but seeing that Rong Shengjie was so arrogant, if the mystery was revealed by the seventh princess, a ten-year-old girl, it would definitely be a big blow to him, so she told the seventh princess about the items under the black cloth she guessed.
It is true that Ling Qingrui is very grateful to the Seventh Princess for her trust, and she was able to withstand so much pressure, and she still chose to trust her judgment, but she didn't want this kind of honor to sit with the princess, and now there are many envious, jealous and hateful eyes, which proves that there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
"Sister Rui, are you upset?" The Seventh Princess looked at Ling Qingrui with some caution.
Sighing slightly in her heart, Ling Qingrui knew that she couldn't blame the Seventh Princess, so she smiled and said, "How can it be, the princess thinks too much, and the courtiers are just thinking about which one to eat first." ”
Hearing this, the seventh princess giggled, stretched out her finger and pointed to one of the dishes, and said, "Sister Rui, you can taste this first, the taste is very bright and fragrant." ”
Ling Qingrui nodded, and softly reminded the seventh princess to lower her voice, and the seventh princess came to her side with a smile, and whispered in her ear like her, which dishes are delicious and which pastries melt in your mouth......
When the seventh princess was laughing, Ling Qingrui obviously felt a gaze slowly retracted, and she knew that it was the emperor's gaze, as if she was smiling happily at the seventh princess, perhaps because she saw that her rules and etiquette were in place, and she could remind the seventh princess and the seventh princess also listened to her, so the emperor was relieved.
Because there were other people who wanted to offer birthday gifts, the emperor ordered someone to carry down the piece of green jade and white cloud longevity stone, but the palace people who came forward to carry the longevity stone took down the pot of dancing flowers and put it aside.
Seeing this, Ling Qingrui's willow eyebrows raised slightly.
Since coming to this hall, Ling Qingrui smelled a faint fragrance, and after a glance, she knew that it was emitted by the incense in the corner, the hall was crowded and miscellaneous, and it was not strange to light some incense, so Ling Qingrui didn't take it to heart.
When she just met the emperor, she smelled a vague fragrance on the tip of her nose, and she wanted to distinguish it in detail, but found that the fragrance was gone.
At this time, the incense in the temple and the dancing flowers sent by Lieliang Guo all exude a light fragrance, and these two light fragrances are mixed together, which has a slight refreshing effect, and I don't know if everyone in the hall knows this.
Lieliang country's birthday gift has been sent, the other two countries naturally also offered their own birthday gifts, I don't know whether it is a coincidence or unintentional, there is also a strange flower and grass in the birthday gift sent by Bei'an, called Fenghuo three-needle flower, each fiery red flower center, the stamen has three silver needles extending upwards in general, but the color of the three needles is a very weird purple, in a fiery red is very eye-catching.
So below where the emperor is located, there is a pot of dancing flowers on the left, and a phoenix fire three-needle flower on the right.
After the envoy's birthday gift was carried down, the second prince said proudly: "I thought there was something new about the birthday gifts offered by other countries, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. ”
Rong Shengjie's gaze shot at the second prince with a "whoosh", but the second prince stared back indifferently, and the third prince's phoenix eyes were gloomy, and he said: "I don't know what kind of novel birthday gift the second emperor brother prepared for his father, and taking it out also opened our eyes." ”
Shou Li, originally to highlight a filial piety word, but at this time was led to the novelty of the word by the second prince, and the second prince did not seem to have fallen into the language trap of the third prince, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it will definitely make the third emperor open his eyes." ”
didn't care about the third prince who looked even more gloomy because of his words, the second prince stood up, took out a brocade box from his arms, and presented it to the emperor.
"Father, this is the birthday gift that the son gave to his father first, and the father opened it for the third emperor to see, isn't it a novelty?"
Everyone saw that what the second prince took out was just a small brocade box, and they heard him talk about novelty again and again, and they couldn't help but secretly think that it was really a reckless prince with no brains.
Seeing this, the prince's mother, Concubine Liang, said: "Mo Hong, you have been restless for several months for this birthday gift, and the mother knows it, and I believe that the emperor can also feel your filial piety." The emperor is loving, and you are filial, this is the most important thing. ”
Concubine Liang was reminding the second prince, but where did the second prince pay attention to these twists and turns, and immediately smiled: "What the mother concubine said is true, but the son is not wrong, such a birthday gift is really novel." ”
Concubine Liang had no way to take him, and she couldn't really reprimand him at this time, so she had to glare at him angrily, but she glared at the second prince a little inexplicably, and she didn't know what she had done wrong to make her mother angry.
The second prince was so reckless, and the emperor was also a little unhappy in his heart, but on the surface he was still silent, and ordered someone to open the brocade box, not wanting the brocade box to be opened just now, and before everyone could see what was inside the brocade box, they heard a slight "sneer" sound, followed by ......
