The Empress Dowager followed his gaze and noticed Ruan Tang again.

She couldn't help but sigh softly.

It is worthy of being a mother and son, and the people they fancy are all the same.

During the banquet, while everyone was pushing cups and changing lamps, and watching the show, she approached Chu Mu and asked softly, "Did Mu Er also take a fancy to the eldest girl of the Ruan family?" ”

Chu Mu was still immersed in observing Ruan Tang's every move, but when he heard the words of the Empress Dowager, he was slightly stunned.

Then he looked at her suspiciously, "What does the queen mother mean by this?" ”

The Empress Dowager chuckled, "Zhi'er Mo Ruomu, not to mention that your thoughts are written on your face, how can the Queen Mother not see it?" ”

It was the first time she had seen her son interested in a woman.

After that, he always had a tense face, and his thoughts were hidden in his heart, even if she was his mother, he rarely showed any other emotions in front of her.

He has always been calm and self-controlled.

And it's rare to stare at a little girl like that.

"The queen mother also likes the big girl Ruan, she is beautiful and has a good name, I felt kind at first sight when I saw her, and I wanted to pull her closer, but it was a pity that ......"

Chu Mu didn't expect that the queen mother, who had always had eyes above the top and no one could enter her eyes, would look at Ruan Tang differently.

"Just a pity for what?"

"It's a pity that she has a marriage contract, otherwise the queen mother will directly make a decree and include her in your house to be your princess."

"Princess?" Chu Mu rubbed the blood jade wrench on his thumb.

In the past, her status was low, and she was not even qualified to be a concubine for him, but now, she is the daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an, and she is qualified enough.

The corners of Chu Mu's lips hooked up a smile, and the eyes that looked at Ruan Tang were even brighter.

"What if there is a marriage contract? Isn't this unmarried? Even if you get married, what this king wants......"

"You don't want to come here!" Before he finished speaking, the Empress Dowager reprimanded him, "What is your identity now, if you do something to rob the children of your ministers, do you still want the face of our Great Zhou?" Don't be fooled. ”

"It's just a woman, there are so many girls at the banquet, can't you find another one?"

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager raised her chin and pointed to the second position on the left side of the lower head.

"Look, that's the second daughter of Shang Shulang's family, she was born dignified and gentle, and it's okay to match you, and over there, the only daughter of General Cheng's family, she can be literate and martial, cute and lively, it's also good, and ......"

The Empress Dowager was still talking about it, but Chu Mu didn't listen to it, and his eyes fell on Ruan Tang again.

At this moment, Ruan Tang was eating the new dim sum with relish and drinking the fruity fruit wine.

At first, she thought that Chu Mu's gaze had been on her and she felt uncomfortable, but in the end, she simply ignored it and began to eat and drink.

Especially after drinking that fruit wine, it was even more out of control.

Sure enough, it is exclusively for the nobles of the palace, and even the wine is mellow and silky, and it tastes vigorous.

Even if she doesn't like to drink, she can't help but drink one cup after another.

Mrs. Ruan had a drooping face all night because of Ruan Changhuan's matter, and she didn't have the time to pay attention to Ruan Tang.

It was because she was so drunk that her face was flushed, and she was even a little drunk and hazy, but she was not noticed by Mrs. Ruan.

Only Xia Zhu on the side reminded Ruan Tang from time to time.

But Ruan Tang just smiled and said that it was okay, and then continued to eat and drink.

The banquet gradually reached a climax, everyone had a few glasses of wine, and those nobles who wanted to win the favor of the Empress Dowager and King Ning through the banquet also had the courage to toast them one after another.

Chu Mu was not interested in these, but the Empress Dowager did not allow him to leave, so he had to be cold and perfunctory.

Those noble ladies were full of enthusiasm at first, but when they came into contact with Chu Mu's cold eyes, they were all frightened and retreated.

In addition, there was the barrier of the county lord of Jingning on the side, and every time they toasted, they were cut off by Jingning, and she drank it for Chu Mu, and gradually those noble girls lost interest.

Either go back to the position and stay obediently, or chat with other sons.

Taking advantage of the lively scene, Shen Qianyi also came to Ruan Tang's table.

He first saluted Mrs. Ruan, and then said, "Auntie, I wonder if my nephew can take my eldest cousin for a walk?" ”

Old Madam Ruan was originally unhappy because of Ruan Changhuan's matter.

She suspected that Ruan Changhuan was deceived by Shen Qianyi into going to the rockery to have a tryst with him.

Seeing him now, I am even more angry.

It can be seen that he invited Ruan Tang with a sincere face, and his heart couldn't help but be a little loose, wondering if he was thinking too much.

Is it true that as Ruan Changhuan said, he went to find Gongfang and got lost.

But how can Ruan Changhuan's red and swollen lips be explained?

For a moment, she felt that she couldn't see through the cousin in front of her.

But she knew that she couldn't let him ruin her granddaughter.

Yes, she nodded and responded: "Go, the two of them have a good relationship." ”

Ruan Tang, who was already a little drunk at the moment, was confused.

When Mrs. Ruan asked her to go with Shen Qianyi, she just nodded vaguely.

Then he was pulled up from the seat by Shen Qianyi's hand.

Ruan Changhuan on the side was still unhappy because of what happened just now, but at this moment, Shen Qianyi came to ask Ruan Tang in front of her, and she almost couldn't help blowing up her hair on the spot.

Just now at the rockery, he said that for the sake of her reputation, he left her and ran away, but she was a weak woman who didn't know martial arts, so she could only stay there and wait for death.

If she hadn't come out quickly, the guards would have slashed in.

Now that I think about it, I feel wronged.

He was good, and when he came back, he looked like a nobody, and he didn't give himself a look.

Now she is still asking Ruan Tang to leave, is she really blind? Shen Qianyi doesn't like herself at all?

But when she thought that he had kissed herself just now and touched her for a long time, she couldn't sit still even more.

Her innocence was given to him, how could he do this to himself?

And that Ruan Tang, who has obviously agreed to give Shen Qianyi to her, is she going to regret it now?

Just as she was staring resentfully at the backs of Shen Qianyi and Ruan Tang leaving, Mrs. Ruan shook her hand that she had placed under the table.

"Xiu'er, Shen Qianyi is not your good match, you don't have to worry about him anymore."

"Why? Grandmother, why? Why can't Ruan Tang, but I can't? Ruan Changhuan finally couldn't help but complain.

"Anyway, grandmother is for your good, he's not for you."

Ruan Changhuan turned her head and began to cry again, she just couldn't understand why her grandmother was so resolute against Shen Qianyi being with her.

She and Ruan Tang are both daughters of the Ruan family, so who marries is different?

But how could she possibly figure it out?

And someone in the top position was already sitting upright when Shen Qianyi walked to Ruan Tang's table.

When he stretched out his hand towards her and held her little hand in his hand, those black eyes were eager to burst out of the ice blade and cut Shen Qianyi with a thousand knives.
