Chapter 15: The Banquet [1]
After getting out of the carriage, Li Lian, who was standing at the front, turned around, his sharp eyes swept at Li Mu's location, the warning in his eyes was self-evident, and even Li Yun, who was just about to talk to Li Mu, trembled in fright, and quickly lowered his head and stayed away from Li Mu.
Li Mu also lowered his head very cooperatively, and his weak appearance was vividly played.
Retracting his gaze, Li Lin led everyone to follow the palace people who came to lead the way to the place of the palace banquet.
Along the way, Li Mudu lowered her eyes and didn't say a word, she was not interested in this palace, she was interested in whether there was anything she needed in today's gift.
"Sister Qian'er." A delicate voice came from behind.
Everyone turned around, and a girl in a pink dress, with a round bun, looked extremely cute and likable, especially those big eyes, which were filled with a light called innocence.
"Eighth Princess." The crowd saluted.
The eighth princess Feng Qianyi is the emperor's treasure, and she was born to the second prince and one mother. Speaking of the two, they are very competitive, especially the second prince Feng Ling, in the year of the test at the age of eight, according to the national teacher, this person is a rare root, if he cultivates more, he will be able to shine in my Fenggang country one day. Today's Feng Ling has already broken through the fifth order of the earth and has become the first genius of the young generation to become the first order of the human at the age of seventeen, and his status is ...... It can well be imagined.
"Where are so many salutes in front of me, get up."
Li Mu, who was in the crowd, was young and stunning, so it was the same whether he squatted or not, and he had a dress to cover it, so who could see it, but it was a troublesome etiquette.
"Yi'er, since you've met, you might as well go together." Li Jing smiled gently, and walked in front of the princess, the familiar tone seemed to have a good relationship between the two.
"That's exactly what I mean." The eighth princess reached out to hold Li Jing's crossed hands in front of her, and her smile became brighter and brighter. "This morning, my second brother was still talking about why Sister Qin'er hadn't come yet. Let's go and don't make him wait. â
Hearing this, Li Jingqiao's face was slightly red, and she lowered her head slightly and shouted, "Nonsense!"
"Hehehe, Sister Qin'er is shy." Feng Qianyi covered her mouth and smiled.
"Daddy, shall we go with the eighth princess?" The flush on Li Jing's face had not yet dissipated, and when he remembered his father behind him, he hurriedly turned around and said respectfully.
"It is an honor for the ministers to be with the eighth princess." Li Xiao arched his hand, and the seriousness on his face dissipated a little.
got an answer, and the eighth princess pulled Li Jing and said this and that, and from time to time Li Jingjiao laughed again and again.
Along the way, I met many bureaucrats who were very popular with the prime minister and the emperor in the name of fate, so Li Lone's team became stronger and bigger.
Li Mu, who was among the people, looked at the officials around him centered on Li Lian, Li Jing, and the Eighth Princess, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
And so, very well!
Finally arrived at the banquet hall, which was a huge place. The Queen Mother is the emperor's own mother, and now the banquet held on the occasion of her 60th birthday is not unimportant. Dressed in red all around, the most striking thing is the pot of rich peonies and the throne inlaid with red gems at the front.
At this time, many people had already come, and the daughters of the officials of various families were sitting dignifiedly. looked around inconspicuously, with a touching smile on the corner of his mouth. The sons of the officials of each family are chatting and laughing in groups of three and five.
Li Mu found his position, and the prime minister's status in the imperial court was not low, so their position was only higher than that of the prince and princess.
"Eldest sister, can you give me a moment?" Li Jing called Li Mu, who was about to take a seat, with an exclusive smile
"Why?" Li Mu raised his eyes
"Hahaha, are you stupid, of course Sister Qin'er is going to be seated!" Feng Qianyi, the eighth princess standing beside Li Mu, said sarcastically. "Why don't you ask the royal doctor to take your pulse?"
"Master, aren't you angry?" Mo used his spirit to communicate and asked, this woman is really ugly to hear.
"Nope." After a pause, "Be vigilant, these four weeks, I feel that Li Lin is coming, so remind me." â
"What are you going to do?" Mo was a little puzzled, did he want Li Lin to help? He could see that Li Lin didn't regard his master as his own daughter at all, and it would be good if he didn't scold his master in turn.
"Talk less nonsense and do more."
"......" Is this nonsense for him? He was just concerned, after all, a big reason why his master entered the palace was to find medicinal herbs for himself.
"Isn't she seated?" Li Mu pointed to the position behind him. She naturally knew that she was going to sit in the position of this concubine, but ...... If you want Li Lin to suffer, you must let yourself sit in the position of 'victim'
"A waste still wants to sit here, this position is only worthy of Sister Qin'er!" Without waiting for Li Jing to answer, Feng Qianyi spoke with a thick contempt in his tone. The little face was slightly raised, and he looked proud of Li Jing.
"Really? Sister Qin'er should be sitting. Li Mu's voice increased.
"Naturally, only a waste like you would ask this question, you won't have a ruined head, right?" Seeing Li Mu's voice increase, thinking that she was trying to hide the fear in her heart, Feng Qianyi's voice also increased.
For a while, people kept shifting their attention to Li Mu, and everyone knew that Li Mu was a waste with no spiritual power. After listening to the conversation between Li Mu and Feng Qianyi, they all laughed at Li Mu in order to tie up the eight princesses.
"Isn't she, she's not just a waste or a fool?"
"Hahaha, the princess said it well!"
"Only Miss Li Jing is qualified to sit, what kind of thing is she Li Mu?"
ââĶâĶâ
"Sister Qian'er also thinks you deserve to sit here."
Li Mu automatically ignored their evil words to him, and asked in a light tone.
"Since my sister wants to sit here, my sister will let it go to you, as long as my sister is happy." Li Jing opened a pair of beautiful eyes, with a little grievance in his eyes, and his delicate face was full of tolerance.
"I don't know what this shit is."
"yes, why should we let our Miss Qin'er give way?"
"What qualifications does she have, a useless piece of waste. It's not as good as Miss Qin'er. â
"Princess, dare to ask......" Li Mu was about to speak.
"What are you doing!" Not far away, Li Lone's roar was heard.
Li Mu hooked his lips and finally came.
Li Jing and the eighth princess both kept silent, as if they were not the ones who insulted Li Mu just now.
"As the eldest sister, do you even want to grab your sister's position?" Li Lin walked up to him, with some bureaucrats behind him, and there was a hint of anger on his serious face.
He heard from afar that his waste daughter was arguing with the princess, and for fear of losing face, he put down and talked with other officials and rushed here.
This is said cleverly, I don't know how pampered and coquettish she is at home, but Li Jing is a little pitiful.
"Daddy, it's just...... This family has family rules and national laws, and the etiquette cannot be abolished! Li Mu lowered his head, his voice a little heavy. This position can only be seated by the descendant, which is stipulated by the emperor. If Sister Qin'er sits, Daddy, you ......"
Li Li's heart jumped, she also went to the previous banquets, and she had never defended her dignity as a concubine, and now she ......
There was a crack in Li Jing's gentle smile, sister-in-law! Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! It's just a name, and she's been pressed for years!
"ęŠĶ You need to be a little more responsible as a big sister." The implication is that the last few times I was just joking with Li Jing.
Looking at this biological father who was obviously partial, such obvious partiality made Li Mu begin to wonder if he was her biological father.
