After everyone sat down, Emperor Xingyuan said to Concubine Xian: "The queen mother has a headache and the old disease is committed, so it is not good to come to the pavilion to blow the wind." ”

Concubine Xian understood that there was no need to wait for the Queen Mother, and motioned for a banquet.

The sound of silk and bamboo also sounded at this time, and the towering palace e's temples danced in the open space outside the long pavilion.

"It doesn't matter if the queen mother?" The eldest princess of Zhaoyang suspected that her mother deliberately did not come for the sake of Xinyu's face, but the word filial piety is bigger than the sky, and it is still necessary to show her concern.

"It's okay, don't worry, royal sister."

Looking at her brother's response, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang was indeed not worried.

The mother really said that she was sick and couldn't come.

Emperor Xingyuan looked at Xin Yu: "Ayu came with your aunt?" ”

"Yes."

"You're used to living with your aunt, aren't you?"

Everyone in the pavilion silently listened to Emperor Xingyuan ask this and that, and their feelings were quite complicated.

Why is the emperor different from usual?

"Habit. My aunt is very good to the minister, and my cousin and cousin are also very caring for the minister. ”

Emperor Xingyuan smiled when he heard this: "It just so happens that everyone is here, and you can recognize it." This is Concubine Xian, the mother of the three princes. ”

Concubine Xian smiled kindly at Xin Yu.

"I've seen Concubine Xian."

"Miss Xin doesn't have to be polite." Concubine Xian took the initiative to take over the introduction, "This is Concubine Duan, the fourth prince and the mother concubine......"

Xin Yu has seen them one by one, and he can be regarded as knowing the concubines with heads and faces in the harem, as well as the princes and princesses he has never seen before.

And during this time, the table in front of everyone was full of dishes.

"Now that you know each other, let's have a feast."

Emperor Xingyuan raised his glass, and when he moved the chopsticks first, the family banquet officially began.

Xin Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the dinner table, and his eyes fell on the fruit plate.

A lotus-shaped turquoise fruit bowl with fresh fruits such as pomegranates, honeydew melons, dates, and longan. The pomegranate has peeled the seeds, the honeydew melon has been cut into slices, and even the longan has been shelled, and each one is as crystal as a huge pearl.

Xin Yu's eyes changed slightly.

It turns out that the three princes eat longan!

The picture disappeared too quickly, and she was immediately surrounded by a group after the third prince showed abnormality, and she couldn't tell what kind of situation the third prince was.

However, in Xin Yu's heart, there are still three kinds of speculations: the third prince is only eleven years old, and he enjoys the best doctor's service, and the possibility of sudden emergency is very small, and it is more likely that he is poisoned or choked by accident.

As for whether it was poisoning or choking, it is now necessary to figure out that there is neither the condition nor the most important thing, and the top priority is to prevent the three princes from eating longan.

Xin Yu felt embarrassed.

In normal times, even if it is a stranger, she does not worry about any trouble when she warns in advance. But on the occasion of the palace banquet, the most honorable group of people in Great Xia gathered, and she suddenly said that the third prince would be worried about his life and would not be forked out, right?

Although Emperor Xingyuan was talking to the eldest princess of Zhaoyang and others, his attention was always on Xin Yu, and when he saw that she didn't move her chopsticks, he asked with a smile: "Isn't there anything that Ayu likes to eat?" ”

"It's all delicacies that the minister has never seen before, and it's very delicious at first glance." Xin Yu cooperated and lifted the silver chopstick.

Emperor Xingyuan smiled even deeper and continued to chat with the eldest princess of Zhaoyang and the others.

Xin Yu knew that no matter how low-key she was, she couldn't escape the secret scrutiny of many people at the palace banquet, and when she caught a glimpse of the third prince reaching out to the fruit plate, she simply spoke out generously: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”

As soon as the third prince's hand reached the fruit plate, he suddenly heard someone calling out to him, and he looked up in wonder.

"Xin-sister, are you calling me something?" Although the third prince felt awkward, he still shouted Xin Yu according to the title that Concubine Xian had told him in advance.

Sure enough, Emperor Xingyuan smiled with satisfaction when he heard the title of the third prince.

The others looked at Xin Yu with curiosity, wondering why she suddenly called the third prince.

"Just now, His Royal Highness the Third Prince said that he likes the Monkey King in "Journey to the West" the most, and I have two questions about the Monkey King I want to ask His Highness."

The third prince frowned: "Sister Xin wants to test me?" ”

He didn't like to be questioned by his husband the most.

"Nope. As the person who wrote "Journey to the West" for Mr. Songling, it was the first time I met a book fan of His Royal Highness's age, so I wanted to talk a few words. Xin Yu smiled at the corner of her lips, "As long as Your Highness can answer one of the two questions, I will give the sixth volume of "Journey to the West" to Your Highness." ”

"Book six?" The third prince was stunned for a moment, and his face was happy, "The sixth volume has not yet been listed, will you really give it to me?" ”

Xin Yu nodded.

"Then you ask." The third prince couldn't wait.

The reaction of the three princes was expected by Xin Yu.

As the magnificent and mysterious story of "Journey to the West" gradually gets better, people who watch it will only become more and more obsessed.

"What fruit does Monkey King like the most?"

"Peaches." The third prince blurted out.

Xin Yuwaner: "That's right. ”

The third prince raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

The fourth prince pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "What kind of problem is this." ”

It is clear that he wants to give away the third brother's "Journey to the West", which has not yet been listed.

is some concubines, and they are also thinking in their hearts: This nameless emperor is showing her mother and son to Concubine Xian?

One is a high-ranking concubine in charge of the harem, and the other is the oldest prince under the eldest prince, and she can also show brotherhood in front of the emperor.

"And what about the second question?" The eleven-year-old third prince didn't accept it if he saw it, but was eager to try.

"The second question is what fruit does Sun Wukong hate the most?" Xin Yu asked with a smile.

"The most annoying—" The Third Prince struggled to recall.

Among the people present who have watched "Journey to the West", they can't help but secretly reminisce.

This includes Emperor Xingyuan.

What fruit does Monkey King hate to eat the most? Why didn't he remember mentioning it in the book? Or is it something forgotten?

The third prince pondered for a long time and shook his head: "I don't remember. ”

Xin Yu glanced at the lotus leaf fruit plate and said with a smile: "It's longan." ”

It's strange to remember, there is no mention in the story, naturally what she says is what it is.

"Longan?" The third prince couldn't help but look at the longan in the fruit bowl, and unconsciously showed a disgusted expression.

Seeing this, Xin Yu let go of half of his heart.

Half-grown teenagers will unconsciously admire the characters they really like, and the three princes just asked about "Journey to the West" in public, which shows that they love Sun Wukong very much, and the longan who hates Sun Wukong is likely to be disgusted with the house and Wu.

As expected, when this little episode passed, the three princes went to get the fresh fruit while eating, subconsciously stretched out Longan's hand for a meal, and then picked up a piece of honeydew melon.

Xin Yu Yuguang noticed it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know what the temperament of the third prince was, and she didn't know what kind of person Concubine Xian was, but she couldn't ignore what happened to a child.

"Yuzu." Emperor Xingyuan asked warmly, "How many volumes of "Journey to the West" have not yet been released? ”

"Ten volumes in total."

"That's it—" Emperor Xingyuan's heart itched.

If he shows some interest, will Ayu take the initiative to send a set of scripts that have not yet been released?

Emperor Xingyuan was about to speak, when a sudden sound came.

Xin Yu immediately looked over and saw the third prince standing up with a painful expression.
