Chapter 66: The Dust Washing Feast
The carriage where Bei Mingce was located still drove towards the palace without hurrying, and at the gate of the palace, everyone had to dismount and walk over.
But the Northern Meditation has the power that others don't have, and can travel freely in the palace in a carriage. However, even if he came by carriage, he would be the last one when he arrived at Guanghe Palace!
"Your Royal Highness, you are here, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are already waiting for you inside!"
A father-in-law ran to the carriage and wanted to kneel down to get off the carriage for Bei Mingce, but Qinglan jumped down first.
"This ......"
"Get out of the way!"
Qinglan glanced at him, turned her head and showed a clear smile to Bei Mingce, who had already stepped out of the carriage and was standing on the frame board in front of her.
Qinglan stretched out her little hand to pick up Bei Mingce again, Bei Mingce frowned, but finally put her hand on her palm.
"His Highness the Overlord has arrived—"
As soon as Bei Mingce got out of the carriage, the father-in-law who had sent the message shouted in a sharp voice.
Everyone at the banquet got up one after another and turned to the door, except for the emperor and queen, of course!
Bei Mingce's face was expressionless, and Qinglan followed him calmly, what kind of three-meter distance was nothing more than a word for her.
Just by repairing the Dark Ghost Divine Sword, she dared to conclude that Bei Yingce would not kill her because of this!
So Qinglan is only one step away from Bei Mingce, and Bei Mingce always seems to have an expression on his face, how can others see anything from it?
"Welcome to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
"Get up!"
"Your Highness the Overlord Xie!"
Everyone got up, but they didn't dare to sit down, and Bei Mingce stepped forward and bowed to the emperor and queen.
"I've seen my father and the queen!"
Qinglan naturally knew the rules, and she had already knelt down when Bei Mingce stopped, and when Bei Mingce bent over, she kowtowed.
"It's good to come back, today is your dust washing feast, sit down first, and have a drink with the hundred officials!"
"Yes!"
Bei Yingce nodded, the first seat on the emperor's left hand was his, Qinglan wanted to follow, he didn't want to be stopped by the queen!
"Qinglan, come here in the main palace!"
"Yes!"
Qinglan didn't ask the meaning of Bei Yingce at all, bent his knees to the queen, saluted, and walked towards the queen.
She knew that Bei Yingce was already angry with her when she just got out of the carriage, and it was better to stay away from him at this time!
"This girl is the woman Ce'er brought back?"
The emperor watched Qinglan walk in front of him, looked at it for a moment, and asked.
"Yes, Qinglan is not only beautiful, but also has a gentle temperament, and his talent is also amazing. Being able to see the best strategy really makes the concubine so happy!"
Without waiting for Bei Mingce to speak, the queen just put on a very satisfied appearance with her daughter-in-law, which made her daughters anxious.
"Ce'er has a noble status, and she is a concubine, and she has to discuss before she can make a conclusion!"
"Your Majesty, Ce'er's marriage is naturally Ce'er's final say, he is the hall master of Guanghan Palace, and no one can decide for him without authorization, don't you say?"
"It's nature!"
"Ce'er, the queen mother will borrow Qinglan from you for a few days, you won't be reluctant, right?"
"If the queen mother likes it, she can stay!"
"Then the queen mother is welcome!"
"Qinglan can serve the queen, it is Qinglan's honor!"
"However, this girl's temper has not been confiscated, if the queen mother wants, wait for the son to train well, and then send it to the queen mother!"
"Your Highness, where does Qinglan have a temper?"
Hearing Qinglan questioning Bei Yingce in public, the daughter was secretly happy, daring to question His Royal Highness the Overlord like this, this woman would definitely be dragged out and beheaded!
"Isn't that a temper?"
Bei Mingce glanced at her, this woman is getting bolder and bolder!
"Look at you, don't frighten Qinglan! In the future, Qinglan will stay by the side of the palace, so that you can stay in the imperial city for a while longer, but you must accompany the palace well, otherwise, don't think about taking Qinglan back!"
"Erchen knows!"
Bei Yingce secretly glanced at Qing Lan, he naturally knew that his mother did it on purpose, and it was for the sake of those dynasties to propose a marriage tonight.
His father, the emperor, allowed his mother to say so much, and naturally he was also concerned about his wishes, as well as other dynasties. Hearing the queen's words, those people knew that only he could make the decision on his marriage, so they would naturally think about whether to propose it at this time!
However, this woman dared to make such a gesture in front of so many people, which really made him spoiled, and he must teach her a good lesson when he goes back!
The Emperor stood up, said many words to welcome the return of the Northern Meditation and the friendship between the various dynasties, and began to drink.
After three rounds of drinking, there is a beautiful dancing girl Le Ji on the stage, and the hall immediately becomes a scene of singing and dancing.
After the dance, some daughters or princesses who have their own talents are automatically invited to perform on stage.
However, Bei Mingce didn't squint, and didn't glance at it at all. Qinglan sat next to the queen, a little curious about these, just watching the performance, and didn't notice that Bei Mingce looked at her several times.
"Hey, look at Ce'er, I've peeked at Qinglan several times!"
The queen secretly transmitted the message to the emperor, and the emperor nodded without a trace, and he also wondered why this son, who was indifferent to everything, suddenly treated a woman differently?
"His Highness the Overlord!"
Just as the two were secretly communicating, a veiled girl walked up to Bei Ming and saluted him.
"Hmm!"
Bei Yingce responded lightly, everyone here knows that this is the princess of Fengyang who left the imperial dynasty when His Royal Highness the Overlord was a child, and had a life-saving grace for him!
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for many years, I don't know how you're doing?"
Bei Ming didn't want to answer, and he didn't want to pay attention to her, but he accidentally saw Qinglan looking at them. For some reason, he suddenly asked her to sit down.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, if Princess Fengyang is free, how about sitting down and talking to the palace?"
"Uh...... Good!"
Seeing Princess Fengyang sitting down in a position one meter away from the Northern Meditation Strategy, everyone's faces changed a few times.
Qinglan is also a little curious about that woman, she can be said to have figured out the character of Bei Mingce these days, he hates women approaching the most, why can this woman be favored by him?
"Qinglan, don't mind, that Princess Fengyang saved Ce'er's life when she was a child, so Ce'er is grateful to her to be a little different from others!"
"Queen Mother, isn't it good to see Your Highness with that princess?"
Hearing Qinglan ask like this, the queen was a little sluggish, she thought she wouldn't look away, Qinglan obviously liked her son?
But at this time, there was no jealousy or anger on her face, in fact, she couldn't see that she was half unhappy!
"Your Highness, Fengyang toasts you!"
Bei Mingce saw Qinglan and the queen talking and laughing, and his heart instantly lost his mood, and he didn't pay attention to Princess Fengyang's toast.
"Erchen has traveled a long way, and he is a little tired, father, mother, and son-in-law have returned home first!"
"This feast has just begun......
The queen frowned, and the emperor's face was also a little unpleasant, let alone others.
"Your Highness, but Feng Yang offended you?"
Bei Mingce didn't speak, just kept a calm face, and everyone knew that he was very unhappy at this time. Suddenly, everyone could only think that it was Princess Fengyang sitting next to him who angered him.
"Fengyang shouldn't break His Highness's rules, Fengyang will make amends to His Highness, and ask His Highness to return to his seat, otherwise His Majesty and the queen's mother will have a ...... heart"
"Your Highness, if you don't want to drink, don't drink, Qinglan will make you tea!"
Qinglan walked up to Bei Mingce's side, saw that he was not quite right, and grabbed his arm with both hands.
Princess Fengyang saw that she touched Bei Mingce's arm, and jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she didn't speak again on her face, and quietly returned to her original position.
"Your Highness, the slave is wrong......
Qing Lan shook his arm and whispered beside him to admit her mistake, she had found out two days ago, as long as she admitted her mistake, Bei Yingce would probably not be angry with her again.
"What's wrong?"
"I ...... You shouldn't be sitting next to the Queen!"
"What else?"
"I shouldn't have promised the queen to stay with her!"
"What else?"
"You shouldn't question Your Highness in public!"
"What else?"
"Anything else?"
"Huh?"
"Oh, you shouldn't let people Your Highness don't like sit next to Your Highness!"
"Humph!"
Bei Mingce sat back in his position, and everyone was cautious, not daring to say anything.
His Royal Highness the Overlord is still as changeable as usual, but since that woman can persuade His Royal Highness the Overlord to sit back, it can be seen that her position in His Royal Highness's heart is not ordinary!
Bei Mingce really doesn't drink often, and when he saw that Qinglan had started to make tea, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and no one paid attention to it!
"Your Highness, how many people do you have to frighten when you are so moody?"
"Mu Qinglan, don't think that the dark ghost hasn't been repaired yet, and the main hall won't dare to touch you!"
Bei Mingce opened his eyes, his gaze was very unkind, he was not as abnormal as these days before, it was all because of this bold woman, who made him angry everywhere!
"Your Highness, it's the queen who wants to help you avoid those princesses, so she lets the slave and maid cooperate with her like this. Of course, the slave maid knows that her status is low, and she is soft-spoken, and she is just a humble maid in His Highness's heart! Your Highness, don't be angry, if the queen still thinks that you are angry with her, it will not be good!"
"You, it's good that you know!"
"Yes, the slave knows that the housekeeper said that as a slave and maid of His Highness, he will block all troubles for His Highness. The slave and maid have a low cultivation and can't protect His Highness like Brother Wei and them, but in the trouble of this marriage, the slave and maid can still block some for His Highness with this face!"
Qinglan handed the teacup to Bei Mingce, who was in a much better mood when he heard her words, so he took it and drank it!
Seeing that Qinglan was able to get close to the Northern Underworld, the princesses of those dynasties and some daughters were secretly lost, it seemed that they were out of play!
But there are exceptions, that Princess Fengyang's eyes are extremely cold, but she lowered her head, no one saw it!
