Chapter Ninety-Five: A War of Words
The palace feast begins.
The queen sat high on the imperial steps, and the position that originally belonged to the emperor was suddenly empty at the moment.
Queen Wang's hand was the table of Concubine Wan.
Under Wan Zhen'er, there are the table cases of the prince, Qi Yuanshen, Chen Xiaomei, Tuoba Jian, Tuoba Yuer, and Wen Jinghua.
The dishes for the banquet had already been served, but the people from the Bei Clan Mission had not yet arrived.
Wan Zhen'er raised the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile: "I heard that it was a post from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Bei Clan's mission, and now it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince's face... I'm afraid it won't work. ”
The smile on Queen Wang's face faded.
Wen Jinghua smiled and said: "The guest is as good as the host, the Bei clan is my honored guest, it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant, even if he changes His Royal Highness King Yong, I am afraid it will be the same." ”
She hadn't forgotten that Tuoba Jian was going to kill Qi Yuanshen last night.
Qi Yuanshen looked at Wen Jinghua and looked at her meaningfully through the mask.
"This mask on the county lord's face is interesting," Wan Zhen'er turned her eyes to look at Wen Jinghua, "I don't know, I thought that something happened to the county lord's face now, and he couldn't see people." ”
Wen Jinghua's complexion changed slightly, but fortunately, there was a mask across it, but no one noticed it.
"I think it's because the concubine's previous assassination was detrimental, so I suspect that everyone is like you and needs to cover up the ugliness. Queen Wang raised her glass and smiled at Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er's originally smiling face immediately became gloomy.
She raised her glass and raised her head, drank the cup, lowered her head and thought of something, raised her head again, and sneered at the queen, "The concubine needed to cover up her ugliness before, and now she doesn't need it!"
The queen's face sank suddenly.
Wan Zhen'er continued: "It can be seen that everything in this world is in turn in feng shui, and those who were originally looking forward to the fall of favor in this palace must not have imagined that His Majesty would go so early!"
She almost made it clear that the old emperor was poisoned by her.
The queen's face was about to be overwhelmed.
Seeing this, Wen Jinghua curled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "What the concubine said is very true, feng shui takes turns, and until the last moment, no one can say for sure." ”
Wan Zhen'er's gaze immediately fell on Wen Jinghua's face like a knife, and she snorted coldly, "Okay, then let's see." ”
Wen Jinghua's lips tightened.
The prince's eyes were dark, and he couldn't see the emotion on his face.
Qi Yuanshen chuckled, looking like he was bound to win.
Chen Xiaomei was arrogant, if it weren't for the inconvenience of the occasion, she would have to clap her hands.
"The North Mission to ——!"
The high-pitched salute of the eunuch interrupted the tension in the hall.
Tuoba Jian strode in under the gaze of everyone.
Tuoba Yu'er was one step behind him.
"It's too late. ”
Tuoba Jian took a seat, but there was no apology on his face that he was too late.
The prince stood up from his desk and raised his glass to the crowd.
Everyone stood up from their desks and raised their glasses to the prince.
Although Qi Yuanshen was half a beat behind everyone, he also slowly raised the wine glass in his hand.
Only Wan Zhen'er, as if the scene in front of her did not exist, sat casually.
Seeing that everyone was casting puzzled glances at her, Wan Zhen'er smiled very perfunctorily, and raised her chin towards the queen, "The concubine was injured in the assassination before, and now she hasn't healed, so she won't stand up, the queen, right?"
Queen Wang raised her wine glass, her chest rising and falling, "No need. ”
Everyone withdrew their eyes and continued to look at the prince.
The prince raised his glass and said in a deep voice: "Open the feast!"
Everyone drank the wine in their cups and sat down.
Wen Jinghua sat down, and suddenly said with a smile: "The current situation is really as the concubine Niangniang just said, 'Feng Shui takes turns'!"
The prince couldn't hide his smile when he heard this, "Oh?
Wen Jinghua said with a smile: "Guifei Niangniang was injured before, wasn't it just to give the emperor to resist the assassins of the Northern Clan?
"You... !”
Wan Zhen'er's face turned pale with anger, and she slammed the wine glass in her hand on the case.
Seeing this, Queen Wang smiled and said, "What is the concubine doing? It's just a joke, I don't know and think that the concubine has been stepped on and hurts her feet!"
Wan Zhen'er snorted coldly, took a deep breath, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaomei said: "The county lord is even sharper today than usual, I think it is because of the mask on his face that the county lord's skin is thicker than before. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Tuoba Yu'er.
Tuoba Yu'er nodded faintly, and viciously hooked the corners of her lips.
Wen Jinghua smiled, "Whether it's sharp teeth or the mask, you always know what to do and what not to do." It's not a bad thing to be thick-skinned, it's bad to have some people's hearts that don't distinguish between right and wrong. ”
Obviously, he was treated so ruthlessly by Qi Yuanshen just yesterday, but today he can rush to please Wan Zhen'er like this.
Wen Jinghua really thinks Chen Xiaomei is stupid.
She always regards herself as an enemy, but she is sadly unable to distinguish between the people who really make her irreversible, in fact, Wan Zhen'er and Qi Yuanshen, who are now rushing to help.
Chen Xiaomei was furious when she heard this, "Wen Jinghua, who are you talking about!?"
"Who recognizes whom. Wen Jinghua's expression was pale.
"You... Chen Xiaomei stretched out her hand and pointed at Wen Jinghua.
"That's it!"
Queen Wang frowned slightly, "Let Prince Tuoba smile." ”
Tuoba Jian smiled heartily, "Lonely, I think the county lord of Anle is very likable. ”
Wen Jinghua's lips moved.
The crown prince raised his glass to Tuoba Jian, and the two toasted each other.
Tuoba Yu'er, who had been silent, smiled and said, "This Anle County Lord is a wonderful person..."
The meaning revealed in her words was as if she had never dealt with Wen Jinghua before.
Wen Jinghua snorted lightly.
Tuoba Jian's face darkened.
Tuoba Yu'er seemed to be unaware, and continued to smile and said: "This princess wears half of the mask on her face because she has been blind in one eye since she was a child, and this Anle County Lord also wears a mask on her face, but because she can't see people on her whole face?"
The queen's brows furrowed into one place.
Seeing this, Tuoba Yu'er immediately stood up and apologized: "Don't be surprised by the queen mother, we Bei people are used to speaking fluently, and this palace is really curious, what kind of face is under the mask of this Anle county lord." ”
Wen Jinghua's lips were stretched into a line.
Tuoba Yu'er calculated that her face was festering, and she deliberately wanted her to embarrass herself in front of everyone.
"The princess said with a smile," Wen Jinghua said coldly, "It's just that Bengong has had some rashes on her face recently, and she is a little ashamed to see people." If the princess is curious, she can wait a few days for the palace to be ready. ”
Tuoba Yu'er stood and gave Chen Xiaomei a look.
Chen Xiaomei understood, and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "The county lord is naturally beautiful, how can a few small rashes damage the county lord's appearance? ”
Wen Jinghua only felt that the skin covered by the mask was even more itchy at this time...
