Chapter 114; New Year's Eve Banquet
"There's something wrong."
Huo Junyao muttered softly, and then withdrew his gaze.
And the eldest princess of Ningyang, who had been paying attention to her, also saw Zhao Yan'er, and her face, which was originally smiling, instantly became gloomy.
But in the end, there was no seizure, there was no way, it was a palace banquet at this time, and her identity was also here.
If it is a trouble for no reason, I am afraid that it will inevitably be said that it is a big bully.
And this Zhao Yan'er still has a life-saving grace for her daughter on the surface, although many people have seen the twists and turns in it, but after all, it is not on the surface.
As soon as the mother and daughter sat down, they saw a beautiful and dignified girl walking over.
"Zhilan has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the lord of Zhaode."
This girl is none other than Huo Jinyan's wife who has not passed the door, Fang Zhilan, the daughter of Fang Qiao, who is facing the right.
As soon as she saw her, a smile immediately appeared on the eldest princess of Ningyang, and she took her hand very enthusiastically and sat down on the side.
"Yaoyao, this is your second sister-in-law."
"I've seen my second sister-in-law."
Huo Junyao hurriedly got up and saluted.
"The county lord can't."
"What is the county lord, we are a family, this is too raw."
As soon as the old lady's words fell, Huo Junyao also nodded again and again and smiled; "Mother is right, second sister-in-law, we are a family, you can call me by my name directly, or call me Yaoyao like my mother."
Listening to her second sister-in-law, and she is a family, Fang Zhilan's pretty face is a little red.
After all, it's not even there.
"Then I'll call you Yaoyao."
"Well, that's good."
Fang Zhilan is about the same age as Huo Junyao, and her personality is also more cheerful and talkative, and the two quickly chatted together.
The eldest princess of Ningyang interjected a few words on the side, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
For the two sisters-in-law to get along so well, the eldest princess of Ningyang is also very satisfied.
Since the last palace banquet, Huo Junyao's reputation has not been very good, although many people in the back have seen the twists and turns inside, but because of the relationship between the prince and the future princess, these people dare not get close to them.
After all, no one wants to inexplicably attract the dissatisfaction of the crown prince and the future crown princess because they get too close to her.
"I really don't know, what face does she have to come to the New Year's Eve banquet?"
"I heard that after she woke up, she didn't thank Miss Zhao for saving her life, she was really ungrateful."
"It's just that I passed by here just now, and I didn't even say hello."
The voices of several people were very low, after all, the eldest princess of Ningyang was still present, and they didn't dare to provoke them.
But this did not prevent them from brushing up on a wave of goodwill in front of Zhao Yan'er.
"Don't say that, this is the first time that Lord Zhaode has participated in the night banquet, and it is not necessary to notice us."
Looking at what he said, he not only showed his generosity, but also secretly sarcastically mocked Huo Junyao.
"Miss Zhao, if you are too kind, you will be bullied."
"Okay, let's be quiet, don't make anything happen to today's New Year's Eve banquet, so as not to anger the emperor."
"Let's continue to guess what the title of this year's poetry will be."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several people at the same table lit up, and several of them secretly thought in their hearts that when they met the Wenhui, they would squeeze Huo Junyao well.
I heard that the prince will be present today, maybe he can brush up on a wave of goodwill in front of the prince.
There are several daughters of petty officials of four or five grades, and they are secretly poking and poking themselves up, and they must behave well later, in case they are favored by the prince or a certain son, maybe they can get a good marriage.
Although the Yu Dynasty is relatively open, there are still not many opportunities for men and women to intersect, so whenever there is a big banquet, it is a good opportunity to seek marriage.
Especially in this palace banquet, the people who can participate are either rich or noble, and it is not that there have been some women from small official families before, who have performed brilliantly, and are valued by some nobles or clansmen, and they are very branched into phoenixes when they marry into a high gate.
"Yaoyao, you have to pay attention to Zhao Yan'er and the others later."
Fang Zhilan suddenly lowered her voice and said to Huo Junyao.
As she spoke, her eyes kept glancing at Zhao Yan'er's table.
Today, she came with her father Fang Qiao, as for her mother Yuan, because she was busy with the New Year's Festival recently, and the weather was cold, she contracted the wind cold, and her body was very uncomfortable, so she didn't come.
Earlier, she went to Fengqi Palace as soon as she entered the palace.
Yuan, as the lady of the Imperial Order, must attend such an important palace banquet, and if she is absent for no reason, she naturally has to report to the queen's mother.
No, when she came over after reporting the situation, she happened to hear many people talking about Huo Junyao, especially Zhao Yan'er's table, which was full of hostility towards Huo Junyao.
But with her arrival, these people didn't say anything more.
But she also knew about the pickled that Zhao Yan'er had done.
"They dare!"
When the eldest princess of Ningyang on the side heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Zhao Yan'er and the others fiercely.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
"You are an elder, and your identity is there, you can leave these things to your daughter, and you will end up, isn't that just bullying the small?"
Fang Zhilan on the side also nodded again and again; "Your Highness, it's really inconvenient for you to end up, I will help Yaoyao, don't worry."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Ningyang nodded with a smile, and was very satisfied with Fang Zhilan's words.
"Cheng, then the palace will press you down."
Soon, the emperor came later, and the second followed, as well as a group of concubines in the harem, the princess and the prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were also among them.
"Is Lord Zhaode here?"
Emperor Zhaowu, who had just sat down, swept his eyes and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Huo Junyao hurriedly got up and saluted; "The courtiers have seen Your Majesty."
"No need to be polite, sit down."
"You girl too, don't stay in the capital, you have to go outside the city to do something, it's freezing this day."
Emperor Zhaowu smiled gently.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice answer; "Cousin, I grew up in the countryside since I was a child, but I'm afraid I'm not used to life in the capital, so I went to live in the countryside, right?"
As soon as these words came out, many people on the female guest's side showed strange looks on their faces, especially Zhao Yan'er's table, and many people laughed out loud.
This voice was quite abrupt, and the eldest princess of Ningyang's eyes flashed coldly, and her gaze swept over Zhao Yan'er's table.
Immediately, those people's faces turned pale with fright.
The smile on the face of Emperor Zhaowu at the top was also closed, and his gaze swept lightly over the women who were laughing just now, which frightened the small bodies of those people a little.
Looking at Huo Junyao again, his eyes did fall on the person who answered just now.
A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old sat at the table of the princesses.
"That's Princess Qinghe under the queen's knees."
The eldest princess of Ningyang whispered.
