Chapter 254: Calm
He Xiaoqiao smiled gratefully at him, took a piece of red paper from Jinghe's hand, clicked a few times with scissors, cut out one large, two small and three irregular strips of paper, looked left and right, and then glued it to his eyes and mouth without hesitation.
He rolled his eyes again, and fell back stiffly on the chair, looking straight ahead, unable to see clearly, and looking at the past at a glance, it was like a blue-faced fanged soul bleeding and dying.
Jinghe puffed out her cheeks, almost laughing again.
Because of Jiang Mufeng's appearance, the crowd that was originally curious about this side had already shifted their targets and flocked to him.
The Queen Mother also came, Jinghe glanced at He Xiaoqiao, and walked towards Jiang Mufeng with a smile, planning to make the next plan.
"Imperial brother, imperial sister-in-law." Jinghe was dressed in palace clothes, passing through the crowd lightly like a butterfly, and coquettishly hugged the arm of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, why did you come." β
"Didn't you like to be the least fun before? Why did you come so fast today? The Queen Mother let her be coquettish with the posture of a little daughter, and glanced at her with a smile, "I still think that my mother is slow." β
"My daughter heard that Uncle Seventeen and Aunt Seventeen were here, so she came out to pick them up." Jinghe said as a matter of course, "Queen Mother, you haven't seen Aunt Seventeen for a long time, right?" β
"Oh?" The Queen Mother actually heard a little about the incident earlier, and no one had a letter to her, so now she is the same as people outside, she has always thought that Xiao Qiao is already very bad, and now she can't help but feel a little surprised when she hears Jinghe say this, "That's right, the mourning family hasn't seen Princess Changning for a long time, she ...... What about people today? β
"Over there." Jinghe said and pointed back, "Just now, Aunt Seventeen also wanted to come with her daughter to meet the imperial brother and the queen mother first, but she is now unable to move, so Uncle Seventeen asked his daughter to come over first, and he will be with Aunt Seventeen later." β
Although Jinghe said it appropriately, a trace of displeasure flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, not that she felt He Xiaoqiao, but that she felt a little disrespected.
However, she was a dignified queen mother, so naturally she would not really deign to see He Xiaoqiao, so she had to smile and say, "It's really hard to move around with a body, since that's the case, then it's okay to wait first." β
Jiang Mufeng is strange, although He Xiaoqiao is inconvenient to move around, but in the Warm Spring Pavilion, she is not less running around with her stomach up, and when she hears Jinghe say this, she always feels that there seems to be something wrong.
Immediately raised her feet and walked towards the place she pointed before, "Uncle Seventeen hasn't appeared for a long time, I just have something to say to him, Queen Mother, you rest first, and Erchen will go and take a look." β
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, as if she felt that this was also a little inappropriate.
Jiang Mufeng didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he immediately went over and grabbed her other arm, and explained in a low voice, "Queen Mother, don't worry, isn't the Mid-Autumn Banquet just a family banquet, and the sons are going here, just to talk to Uncle Seventeen, it's not a big deal." β
"It's the mourning family thinking too much." The Queen Mother thought about it, so she smiled, "Then the emperor will go, and I will let your seventeenth uncle and his wife come over together." I haven't seen them for so long, and the mourning family also wants to drink them for a drink. β
Jiang Mufeng smiled and agreed, and turned around to find Jiang Fenghao and his wife.
Those who usually liked to join in the fun immediately followed.
The banquet venue was large, and a group of people had just walked a few steps, and they didn't know what the lady and lady of that family saw in the crowd, and a scream burst out, "Ghost! β
Jiang Mufeng turned his head suddenly, and saw a middle-aged woman slumping to the ground in horror, pointing to the dark place in front of her, her eyes widened, and her mouth kept repeating, "Ghost, ghost......"
Ghost?!
Jiang Mufeng raised his eyebrows, turned around with a solemn face, and looked in the direction of her finger - he wanted to see which bastard was pretending to be scary here!
As a result, not only did he have a few more screams behind him, but even his own little heart was almost frightened to stop beating.
Not far ahead, just out of sight of the candlelight, Jiang Fenghao was sitting there drinking with a solemn expression, and sitting with him was a woman wearing a gorgeous dress and a flower crown, the woman's face was pale, and there were long blood stains on the corners of her eyes and lips, sitting upright on a chair facing everyone.
Probably noticing the gaze of the crowd, the puppet-like stiff woman actually grinned, smiled at them with blank eyes, and waved at them slowly with a hand that seemed to be about to be broken.
It seems that the eerie and long woman's voice can still be heard in my ears, "Come on...... Ah, come on...... Ah......h
Damn! It's really a wronged soul asking for his life!
Thinking of Jiang Fenghao's strange behavior and the rumors that Princess Changning was dead, the screams came and went again for a while, the crowd scattered and fled, and a few timid people simply rolled their eyes and fainted directly to the ground.
Jiang Mufeng was only so startled, and then he quickly reacted, and then took a closer look at the 'female ghost' in front of him, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"Emperor, Emperor, you ...... You step back and step back. Yu Yue also trembled, although he wanted to run away, he didn't forget his status as a slave, and hurriedly took two steps forward to block in front of Jiang Mufeng, if it wasn't for Jiang Mufeng still standing well, he almost couldn't restrain himself from shouting, "There are ghosts, escort!" β
"It's a shame that you follow me the most on weekdays, and you don't even recognize Aunt Seventeen." Jiang Mufeng sneered, patted Yu Yue's shoulder, and walked straight forward with his hands behind his back.
Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she was dumbfounded on the spot.
The emperor's seventeenth aunt? That...... Isn't that Princess Changning?
Jiang Mufeng didn't care about him anymore, and went over to say hello with a smile all the way, "Uncle Seventeen, what are you and Aunt Seventeen playing?" Why didn't you notify me? "If I hadn't known that He Xiaoqiao was still alive, I just saw her 'bleeding from seven holes', I'm afraid he would have weak legs.
"Why is this king playing guessing with the princess, and the emperor is also interested?" Jiang Fenghao glanced at him and casually poured himself another glass of wine.
The red note on his face can still deceive people when he stands far away, and he will be able to wear it when he gets closer, so He Xiaoqiao laughed, tore off everything very simply, crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside, and then echoed, "Yes, our husband and wife have a big game, no matter who loses, they have to use red paper veneers, unfortunately I lose a lot." This can be regarded as an explanation for the red paper she just pasted on her face, lest people accuse her of pretending to be a ghost, which is not worth it.
Jiang Mufeng also knew that He Xiaoqiao's personality was definitely not as simple as sticking a note if he lost the boxing, not to mention that he also pasted the red paper so ecstatically, anyone who looked at it thought it was bleeding from the seven orifices. He bet that the equally unreliable Aunt Seventeen in front of him must be playing tricks on everyoneβof course, for many reasons, he didn't want to debunk.
It's so boring in the palace, it's good to have fun occasionally.
Seeing so many ministers and officials' wives being scared at the same time, he didn't want to mention how happy he was - embarrassed to be like this, and look at those old horsemen who dare to spew his saliva on the court in the future!
"I see." Jiang Mufeng laughed, and he was not annoyed that the husband and wife did not salute him when they saw him, anyway, they were used to it, "Next time there is such a fun thing, Aunt Seventeen must remember to count me as one." β
Of course, He Xiaoqiao knew that he was pretending to be stupid and not pursuing his mischievous, and he was happy in his heart, so he immediately responded with a mouthful, "Okay, no problem." β
With the support of the most noble person in Quan Dayan, even if she wants to play with a big ticket in the future, it will be no problem at all, and she will not agree if she is stupid.
Yu Yue, who rushed over behind him, looked at He Xiaoqiao in disbelief for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was a big living person, and when he heard his master's words, he almost couldn't help but roll his eyes - Your Majesty, you are also the king of a country, let's not blindly worship such childish things as pretending to be gods and ghosts, okay?
"Your Majesty, it's time to go back, the Queen Mother and all the ministers are still waiting for you."
Jiang Mufeng clapped his hands as if he had come to his senses, "Yes, I almost forgot." As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Fenghao and the others, "It's rare for Aunt Seventeen to participate in the Mid-Autumn Banquet for the first time, Uncle Seventeen will bring Aunt Seventeen with me, and the Queen Mother is still waiting to have a drink with you." β
"Okay."
He Xiaoqiao knew that there would be such a situation before he came, so he didn't have much objection to going to accompany the wine, but Jiang Fenghao opened his mouth first, "Your seventeenth aunt can't drink now, let people change her share for tea." β
He Xiaoqiao smiled and didn't speak, but just looked at Jiang Fenghao's eyes with a bright light, completely showing the appearance of 'marrying and respecting her husband' that only a little daughter-in-law has.
"It's nature." Jiang Mufeng had long been accustomed to his seventeenth uncle's intimate behavior of spoiling his wife from time to time, and he also knew that He Xiaoqiao was not suitable for drinking now, so he didn't say much, turned back to Yuyue and ordered, "You go, let someone make a pot of good tea, and it will be sent to Aunt Seventeen's table later." β
Yu Yue answered, took two steps back and found someone to order.
He Xiaoqiao stood up, walked out with the help of Jiang Fenghao, and walked forward behind Jiang Mufeng unhurriedly with his big watermelon.
When passing by those people with stunned expressions, they didn't forget to smile and nod their heads to say hello, their eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and they were graceful and dignified.
The husband and wife walked together, although He Xiaoqiao was not as good as Jiang Fenghao in appearance, but with that friendly smile, people couldn't hate it from the bottom of their hearts, and there were even a few women who looked more kind and nodded at her.
As for the people who scared her earlier, they were staring at her with wide eyes at this moment, and they couldn't figure out how the girl with good eyebrows and beautiful eyes could see people as evil ghosts just now?
As for Liu Qian, the others had complicated eyes, because no matter how they guessed, they would not have thought that the dignified princess would actually play a game of changing people under the table with a big belly like a child.
That's super naΓ―ve!
There was a desperate desire to find out some vision, and deliberately followed all the way, staring at He Xiaoqiao's skirt for a long time, and seeing that she was indeed walking on her heels, this really believed the fact that she was a big living person - but the price was to make Jiang Fenghao, who was very unhappy, kick his head with a stone.
It turned out that Princess Changning really didn't die, and she came to the Mid-Autumn Banquet with a belly!
The news spread like wings and soon spread throughout the banquet hall. In view of the fact that He Xiaoqiao appeared in this kind of public gathering for the first time, many people who had never seen her before were so curious that they came over to watch for various reasons.
Because Jiang Fenghao is famous as the "first beautiful man in the capital", He Xiaoqiao, who can only be regarded as beautiful in appearance, stands side by side with him, and there are still many people who can't help but sigh that a flower is inserted in cow dung - of course, the flower refers to Jiang Fenghao.
Listening to the whispers coming from all directions, He Xiaoqiao was extremely calm throughout the whole process.
Anyway, since she was with Jiang Fenghao, as long as the two of them went out, this kind of situation would happen once, and she was already numb.
As long as all the eyes that despise her origin and appearance are transformed into envy, jealousy and hatred that she can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.
When I thought about it again, I was immediately refreshed.
How beautiful it is? What about a good family background? It's not that I can't pick Jiang Fenghao, the flower of kaolin.
If you have the ability, you can also learn from her to turn the most beautiful man in the capital into private property!
The heroine's aura is not something that everyone has!
