Chapter Eighty-Seven: Breathe a sigh of relief

She thought to herself, am I dazzled? That person is obviously the prince who checked the book, the one who had an affair with the queen's mother, how dare he swagger and sit among the officials and drink?

Ling Zhiqiao wiped her eyes and looked in that direction again, this time she didn't see that face again, Ling Zhiqiao relieved her heart, confirming that she must have been dazzled just now.

The blessing banquet was coming to an end, General Xiao was also drinking red face, and Lu Shi couldn't sit there all the time without speaking, she also pretended to block a few people for General Xiao to toast, and politely rejected a few people.

His Majesty the Emperor was a little worried, and he gestured to the deacon and eunuch and said, "I am a little tired, Xuan!" ”

The deacon and eunuch immediately shouted and reported: "Your Majesty is driving!" ”

Jiang Qingyun, Xiao Qian, and the others all stood up and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

The old emperor said to the hundred officials: "All Aiqing, don't delay your celebration because I am not there, continue to drink freely, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother accompanying you, drink to your heart's content!" ”

The old emperor came out of the Yuehua Hall and whispered to the deacon eunuch: "Go to the palace of the Jade Imperial Concubine." ”

The deacon eunuch agreed, and whispered to the eunuchs who carried the dragon chariot and said, "Get up and go to the Jade Emperor's concubine's bedroom." ”

Empress Jiang waited for His Majesty the Emperor to leave the Yuehua Palace, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and Empress Jiang looked sideways at the crown prince Du Yunfei and asked in a low voice, "Is Your Highness satisfied today?" ”

It seemed that it was the first time for Twilight Yunfei to answer Empress Jiang's words with a smile: "Queen Mother, although your son's mind can't understand everything, you also feel that you have good intentions, and your son has thanked the queen mother." ”

Empress Jiang smiled very much, but when she saw Jiang Dawei happily return to the Yuehua Palace, after sitting next to Jiang Qingyun, she showed a look of disgust on her face, this idiot, if it weren't for my own brother, I really didn't want to look at him at one more time.

If it weren't for him, how could the Jiang family marry such a stumbling ugly girl, Queen Jiang would be angry when she thought about it, even if she was the concubine of the household Shangshu, it was far from being worthy of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Song Siyan saw that it was not early, and it would be past noon if it didn't end, so she immediately came to the queen's side and said, "Niangniang, noon is almost here, and it is best to pray for blessings and congratulations at noon." ”

Empress Jiang nodded and said, "Then let's announce the end!" Tell Prime Minister Jiang and the little marquis to stay, and the palace has something to say to them. ”

Song Siyan immediately stood in the Yuehua Palace, shook the blessing bell three times and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's blessing banquet has ended at an auspicious time, lords, ladies, and noble ladies will meet again next year!" ”

Everyone got up again and said, "Congratulations to the queen mother, congratulations to His Royal Highness the prince." ”

Ling Zhiqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, she could be regarded as being able to go out to take a breath, she glanced at Li Daiyun, and motioned for her to call Zhang Liu'er, Zhou Yunyan and Yang Qian, and ran out hand in hand while these adults and ladies were greeting.

Twilight Yunfei looked at Ling Zhiqiao's figure running out from a distance, there was more tenderness in his eyes, but he thought in his heart, Twilight Yunhan, if I can snatch your throne, I can snatch your woman. ”

After he got up, he said to Queen Jiang: "Queen Mother, the sons will retire first." ”

Empress Jiang bowed slightly: "Go!" Tomorrow, General Xiao's two daughters will enter the palace, and they will go to the palace, Your Highness will consider it yourself!

The corners of Twilight Yunfei's mouth rose slightly, "Thank you, Queen Mother!" ”

Ling Zhiqiao rushed out of the Yuehua Hall like a swarm, but they couldn't help complaining, Zhang Liu'er couldn't hold it back at first, she pouted and said, "Sister Qiao, what can I do?" Don't the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that you and the second prince are in love? ”

Li Daiyun interjected: "Why don't you know? Obviously, when the selection exam, His Royal Highness had already made a statement in public. ”

"Isn't this tantamount to a robbery?" Zhou Yunyan said angrily.

Yang Qianyu was not shocked: "Even if Sister Qiao chooses, she will be better than Xiao Qinxue?" How can it still be an alternative? ”

Ling Zhiqiao's head was so big by their quarrel that she heard a man's cough before she could stop it.

Well! Cough!

Several people were excited at the same time, they were talking patronizing just now, and they didn't pay attention to whether there were people around at all, and the five pairs of eyes looked at the place where the voice came from at the same time, only to see the second highness Du Yunhan leaning on the white jade railing, Han Guard looked at them with a smile, and asked: "A few of you are talking about the queen behind your back, and you are still so loud, you are not afraid of being heard." ”

When Ling Zhiqiao saw that it was Du Yunhan, she thought to herself, no wonder she was gone, it turned out that she was hiding outside.

When Zhang Liu'er saw Guard Han, she shouted excitedly and shyly: "Guard Han, what are you and Your Royal Highness doing there?" ”

Zhang Liu'er's voice made Ling Zhiqiao and the others have goosebumps all over their bodies, Li Daiyun touched her arm and said, "Liu'er, can you put your voice more normal, even if Han Guard can stand it, we can't stand it!" ”

Ha ha! Ha! As soon as Li Daiyun's words came out, Ling Zhiqiao and the others burst into laughter, and Han Li blushed and said, "Sister Liu'er, My Royal Highness and I happened to be passing by. ”

Ling Zhiqiao said with a smile: "I happened to pass by, I happened to pass by the Yuehua Palace, and then I passed by here, but it was a coincidence." ”

Twilight Yunhan looked at Ling Zhiqiao's heartless appearance and said, "Ling Zhiqiao, this king brought Jin Gui'er over, but you came out after explaining?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao's smile froze halfway, blinked her eyes, and looked at Du Yunhan, she was really in a hurry to get out of the Yuehua Hall just now, and forgot about Jin Gui'er, it is estimated that Jin Gui'er is also returning to the Tai Womb now! It's okay, anyway, I have to go to the palace tomorrow to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and then find a chance to talk about it.

She replied stiffly: "It's all done, Your Highness don't worry!" ”

Twilight Yunhan didn't believe that Ling Zhiqiao had finished explaining, and she knew that she was fooling him by looking at her fawn's panicked appearance.

Du Yunhan didn't break through Ling Zhiqiao either, he left the white jade railing and said: Soon the big team will come out, a few of you can keep your mouth shut, it's okay to talk about others, but don't talk about this king, do you hear it. ”

"I heard it, Second Highness, please!" Ling Zhiqiao and the others said in unison.

Twilight Yunhan actually didn't want to leave yet, seeing them like this, it was not good not to leave, he pointed at Ling Zhiqiao, squinted his eyes, and said to Han Li, "Let's go!" Han Guard, say goodbye to your Liu'er girl, people are driving us away! ”

Zhang Liu'er was still embarrassed by what Du Yunhan said, she waved her hand to Han Li shyly and said, "Guard Han, goodbye!" ”

The Han guard also nodded with a red face and said, "Miss Liu'er, goodbye!" ”

These two people were like this, which made Li Daiyun and the others unbearable, and coaxed: "Han Guard, or you will marry Liu Er as soon as possible!" It's so numb that you two can't do it. ”

Ling Zhiqiao smiled and smiled, and suddenly remembered the matter of Da Han and Er Han, but she couldn't say it directly, so she could only shout: "Second Highness, Han Guard, General Xiao just said that he was looking for His Highness to discuss, please see you in the main hall of the General's Mansion at night."

Dui Yun Han comprehended, knowing that Ling Zhiqiao must have something to say, he didn't reply: "This king knows, see you in the general's mansion." ”

As soon as Dui Yunhan and Han Li walked away, as he said, the people who left the Yuehua Hall walked out in a hurry, naturally, the fathers of Ling Zhiqiao and these daughters all came out together, and the daughters were friendly, so naturally they were closer, but fortunately, several people were neutrals,

Zhou Ruming, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Yang Xiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, had seen her when Ling Zhiqiao visited the house, and naturally they both had a good impression of Ling Zhiqiao, and it was only in the conversation just now that they knew that Lord Li Tingfeng actually recognized Ling Zhiqiao as his goddaughter, and they didn't expect it.

Zhang Pingzhi said to Ling Zhiqiao: "Qiao'er, you guys are so fast, how can you have so many whispers to say?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao said with a smile: "Master Zhang, we just have endless words, I saw your handsome and dashing son-in-law Han Guard, just now, we are urging him and Liu Er to get married quickly!" ”

"Haha, it's coming, it's coming, the old man is almost ready."

Zhou Ruming also said happily: "You girls, this marriage is on your lips every day, and those who don't know still think you can't get married?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, now Qiao'er just can't get married, it's still an alternative." ”

Ling Zhiqiao was originally joking, but she didn't expect to poke General Xiao's sore spot, seeing that General Xiao's face sank, Yang Xiao hurriedly comforted: "General Xiao, you don't have to worry, isn't your second lady already the crown princess, this girl is an alternative, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

General Xiao looked at Ling Zhiqiao lovingly; "Just pity her, hey!"

"What's pitiful about her?" Xiao Qinxue's voice sounded, and she walked over by herself, but she didn't see the Lu family.

"Father, you just favor Ling Zhiqiao, and I am also your daughter, aren't you happy for your daughter at all?"

Xiao Qinxue seemed to feel that she was superior to others all of a sudden, and she spoke with a lot of momentum, and she didn't take these first-class and second-grade officials in her eyes at all.

Xiao Qian frowned and said, "Qin Xue, can you be so rude if you choose the crown princess?" Whoever pays you the number of gifts, presumptuous! ”

Xiao Qinxue's mouth was deflated, and she said angrily: "You are partial to Ling Zhiqiao, anyway, there is her without me, and there is me without her." After saying that, he lifted the corner of his skirt and walked away.

Xiao Qian, whose face was pale when he was angry, was not easy to attack, and Li Tingfeng hurriedly comforted: "General Xiao, she is still a child after all, and it is normal to be arrogant and irritable.

Xiao Qian said that after Xiao Qinxue used that method to harm Ling Zhiqiao, he no longer had the slightest love for this daughter.

Zhao Xueli was almost the last in the crowd and walked out with his wife Guo, and when he saw that General Xiao and the others hadn't left, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Everyone, haven't left yet?" The old man congratulated General Xiao. ”

Xiao Qian hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Lord Zhao is laughing, what is there to congratulate here, when Miss Zhao and Jiang Xiaohou get married, we old men will congratulate Lord Zhao." ”

Li Tingfeng and the others are not people who tend to be inflammatory, and they all know that Zhao Xueli, the head of the household department, is personally Jiang Chengxiang, and they are not too familiar with each other, but they just respond very politely.

Zhao Xueli is an interesting person, he arched his hand to a few and said: "When the little girl gets married, a few people will have to support more, the old man has thanked him here, then he will leave first, Qiao'er, remember to come to the house to play!" ”

Ling Zhiqiao nodded and said, "Master Zhao, go slowly!" ”

Yang Xiao said strangely: "General Xiao, this Lord Zhao usually disdains to be so friendly with us neutrals, what's wrong today?" It seems that Lord Zhao and your Qiao Er are also very familiar with each other. ”

General Xiao pretended to be very normal and said, "Maybe I saw the old man's daughter and became the crown princess!" Let's go, everyone has dispersed, the old man has a proposal, why don't we go to Sanqingyuan and have a cup of tea? Madam, the daughters are all going, what to drink in this moon hall is awkward! ”
