Ye Lingwu didn't know the way to the palace, and when she walked out of this section of the palace corridor with her head down, she saw Shen Yue'er standing on the path, looking up at the starry sky.

She heard a noise behind her and turned her head.

Ye Lingwu was stunned and said, "The fourth girl is still waiting for me here?" ”

"Since I said that I would wait for you, I must have to wait," Shen Yue'er stepped forward slowly, with an unclear smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's a pity that I also want to hear what you guys talked about, it's the first time I've seen my big brother look so ugly when I'm so old, I want to ask Sister Ling Wu for advice, how did you provoke my big brother?" ”

Ye Lingwu's face turned blue and white, and the thunder above his head rumbled, and he said urgently: "What provoked?" I didn't. ”

"Qubble."

Shen Yue'er approached the girl step by step, and said in a good time: "My eldest brother likes Sister Lingwu, right?" The big brother's face was so ugly just now, you ...... Was there a quarrel? ”

"Nope." Ye Lingwu blushed.

Shen Yue'er had suspicion hidden in her eyes, and said calmly: "If there is no quarrel, then it is strange." ”

"What's so strange that he hasn't always been cold." Ye Lingwu muttered quietly.

"I'm not saying that my eldest brother is strange, I'm saying that Sister Lingwu is in a hurry to drive me away, what's the matter, is there anything between you that I can't listen to?"

Ye Lingwu choked, not knowing how to answer. If you want to say strange, it should be Shen Yue'er who is strange tonight, I haven't seen her talk as much as she does now.

Shen Yue'er saw that she was silent, and said, "Speaking of which, I remember that Sister Lingwu and my second brother also have a lot of relationship." ”

Ye Lingwu looked at her abruptly, and said with a solemn expression: "Four girls, don't make such jokes. ”

"What joke? I'm never joking, and I'm not old-fashioned, so I might as well be straightforward. In fact, I have long seen that my eldest brother and second brother like you, and I have been waiting for the day of watching the show, so I ...... Sister Lingwu chose my big brother? Shen Yue'er's eyes were bright, as if she was waiting for the storyteller to shoot the ending.

Ye Lingwu frowned tightly and did not answer.

Shen Yue'er said: "Sister Lingwu doesn't say it, then I can guess it myself, my second brother is a gentleman, acting recklessly, and his reputation in the capital is very bad, Sister Lingwu feels that my second brother can't be entrusted is common sense, but ......."

"I don't think the second son can't be trusted," Ye Lingwu couldn't help but interrupt, but his tone didn't have much waves, "He has enthusiasm in his heart, and he is an excellent son in the capital except for the gentleman." ”

Shen Yue'er was stunned, obviously surprised by these words.

Ye Lingwu sighed and continued: "But in my eyes, it doesn't matter if I like it or not, I don't know poetry or books, I have no talent, I was born in a businessman, and there are no elders in the family who love me except my grandfather. ”

Shen Yue'er's expression did not move, her eyes were full of astonishment, as if she had heard some strange and novel remarks, thinking about it, and said for a long time: "I didn't expect that Sister Lingwu is young, but her ideas are very unique, but if there are two roads in front of you in the future, both roads are full of thorns, the difference is that there is someone on one road to cut through the thorns for you, and there is someone on the other road to take you together, which one will you choose?" ”

Ye Lingwu frowned and said, "No." ”

"What if?"

"There is no case, this kind of case, the four girls still go to the opera team to listen to some fun. No, there is no such kind of emergency in the opera team, the four girls might as well write a 'what if' by themselves. ”

Shen Yue'er said: "That's good, I really want to write a drama book in the future, maybe I can be famous all over the world." ”

“……”

Shen Yue'er saw Ye Lingwu holding her face silent, sneered, and said, "Forget it, no kidding, let's go, it's time to go to Fengyu Palace." ”

With that, the two went to the east side of the palace porch.

Fengyu Hall was not originally a palace for banquet guests, and the hall was not spacious, so the queen ordered the palace to set up a long seat, and there were more than five people who could kneel down at a table.

The seats are divided into upper, middle and lower seats.

Except for the two sides closest to the head are sitting on the emperor's relatives, the seats are mainly arranged by grade, and the Ningbei Hou Mansion, as the head of the civil and military officials, is naturally at the top seat.

Ye Lingwu and Shen Yue'er entered the hall one after the other.

When he stepped into the hall, Shen Zhan was talking to Old Lady Shen and Qin Mingyu, his face was sideways, and behind him was a palace lamp embedded with a night pearl, and the bright light set off his side face more cold and delicate like a jade carving.

The seats are strictly exquisite, the elders and the young are respectful, the old lady Shen leans on the top and sits in the first, while Ye Lingwu sits in the last, next to Shen Yue'er on the left.

On top of the vegetarian banquet, all kinds of dishes are prepared, and Gong'e, who is dressed in a uniform white shirt, shuttles between the banquets, serving dishes that look like meat, but are actually delicacies carved and cooked with vegetarian dishes.

Ye Lingwu was dazzled, the first time he saw this rare food in his life, it was like a fancy abalone on the table, which seemed simple but was actually very mysterious, because it was not really abalone, but made of mushrooms.

The feast had not yet begun, and the emperor and empress had not yet arrived.

Everyone at the table could only chat left and right.

Ye Lingwu sat on his knees, staring at the pumpkin carved into a "chicken" on the plate in front of him, and after a while, he saw the emperor and the queen enter the hall hand in hand, looking respectful and affectionate.

The crowd hurriedly saluted and greeted.

The meal was simple, there was no singing and dancing, no greetings and liveliness, and after eating, there were palace eunuchs to lead everyone out of the palace.

Early the next morning, the Queen Mother's coffin went out of the funeral, and there was finally nothing to do with the civil and military officials, but the Queen Mother's funeral funeral array was very large, and half of the honor guards of the feather forest were escorted, accompanied by the direct royal relatives and nobles wearing linen and filial piety.

Ye Lingwu thought that he could be lazy, but who knew that because the housewife of the Ningbei Hou Mansion was the eldest princess of the first emperor, the family had to enter the palace at the end of the day, escort the coffin into the imperial tomb, and then send the tablet carved by the mage into the Taimiao.

It's dusk after the whole day.

I thought that I would be able to take a breath after returning home, but who knew that Haitang Zhai had set up a family banquet again, saying that it was to make up for the banquet when Shen Zhan left Beijing in a hurry last time.

If the usual family banquet is changed, Mrs. Shen will retire as soon as possible, but Shen Zhan will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning, and Mrs. Shen is worried about her great-grandson, and she will not see her great-grandson for a few months, so she can only support herself and go to Haitang Zhai for a banquet.

The night was dark, when Ye Lingwu helped Mrs. Shen into the house, the people in the second room of the big room had already sat down, only to see that the top was empty, and Qin Mingyu and Shen Chongwen were already sitting on the left and right sides of the seat, and there were seats on each side of the seat, Zhao sat on the left side, and the juniors of the Shen family sat on the right side in turn.

Probably because I have knelt a lot these days, today's seat is set high, and the female envoy has arranged a stool, so I finally don't have to kneel to sit and eat, so I don't have to kneel to eat, so I don't have to hurt my knees.

There is no meat in the dishes on the dining table, tender matsutake mushrooms, stewed radish soup, and green vegetables...... It couldn't be simpler.
