Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 278 No Good Banquet

After being flattened, everyone got up, and Yun Chang raised her eyes to look at the empress above the throne. The empress's appearance was not very beautiful, but she had a natural nobleness.

Yun Chang noticed that another line of sight was looking at her again, so she raised her eyes and looked over, and saw a radiant figure sitting on the second seat, a flash of surprise flashed in Yun Chang's eyes, yes, how could she Forget that Ning Qian is also Xia Huanyu's favorite concubine, so she will naturally appear on such an occasion.

It's just that the two didn't dare to let others notice anything, they just looked at each other and hurried away. However, this glance still fell into the Queen's eyes. The queen smiled slightly, looked at Ning Qian and said, "Concubine Xianggui has been looking at Princess Rui, but what's wrong with Princess Rui?"

Hearing this, Ning Qian smiled slightly, looked towards Yun Shang again, and then said with a smile, "The concubine also said that this lady has an outstanding appearance, why has she never seen her before, it turns out she is Princess Rui, no wonder."

The queen laughed lightly when she heard the words, "When I saw Princess Rui for the first time today, I was also taken aback. I thought how could there be such an elegant and refined woman in this world. The concubines and sisters are on par, but the noble concubines are a bit more beautiful, while Princess Rui is a bit more elegant."

Yun Chang hurriedly saluted, "The empress's concubine's concubine's concubine praised her absurdly, and I am ashamed of my wife."

The queen smiled again when she heard what Yun Shang said, and said, "But when it comes to Princess Rui, I have to mention that Prince Rui is really handsome, almost exactly the same as the young emperor when I saw it earlier. Gong couldn't help being shocked, it really is father and son, they are so alike."

As soon as the words fell, a woman took over the conversation, "I'm a little curious to hear what the emperor's sister-in-law said..."

Yun Chang looked at the woman, but saw that the woman was actually the one who looked at her with resentful eyes this morning, and secretly thought about it, she called the queen the emperor's sister-in-law, presumably it should be Xia Huanyu's younger sister, but Xia Huanyu should have only one younger sister, and that is Princess Tai'an. I heard that this girl is extremely beautiful, and there are countless faces in the princess's mansion. She is already in her thirties, but she is not married yet.

Seeing what Princess Tai'an said, everyone else showed a look of curiosity, Yun Chang sneered in his heart, feeling that a stone in his heart was twisted up, and it never fell to the ground.

The queen laughed loudly when she heard the words, "Although men and women are seated separately, it is not impossible." After speaking, she walked to the side and said something to Xia Huanyu, Xia Huanyu nodded, and then heard Xia Huanyu The voice of Huanyu came over.

"Today is Prince Rui's first time participating in a palace banquet, so let's remove the screen, so don't you not know when you meet Prince Rui on the road in the future."

Someone in the palace answered yes, and someone moved the screen away little by little. Yun Chang saw that Prince Jing was sitting opposite her, smiled at him, and then fell silent.

"I heard that Prince Rui was known as the God of War when he was in Ningguo, so he must be very powerful in martial arts, but I don't know if you can show us all in front of everyone." The queen looked at Luo, who was sitting quietly by the side, and said lightly. , asked softly.

Xia Huanyu shook his head when he heard the words, "Speaking of martial arts, I have to say that Princess Rui's one-handed shooting of ten arrows is truly unique."

"Oh? Concubine Rui actually has such abilities?" The queen seemed to be taken aback when she heard this, then she turned her eyes to Yun Shang again.

Yun Chang didn't know why the two couples in the high position were singing and singing together, so she just smiled lightly and said, "It's just a small skill, it's hard to be elegant."

But Princess Tai'an suddenly said, "Brother Huang, just now I heard from my sister-in-law that Prince Rui and Brother Huang looked very similar when they were young, so I don't know which one is Prince Rui?"

Xia Huanyu laughed, "Since you say you look like a widow when you were young, then take a look, don't you know which one you look like?"

Princess Tai'an really swept around the male guests' table, her eyes fell on Luo Qingyan suddenly, she was silent for a moment, then pointed at Luo Qingyan and said, "Brother Huang, but him?"

"Qin An really has good eyesight." Xia Huanyu said with a smile, and all the female guests looked at him.

With a smile on the corner of Yunshang's mouth, she glanced around the faces of the crowd, and then heard the voice of the Duke's wife from beside her, "Be careful of Princess Tai'an."

Yun Chang didn't know what Madam Guogong meant by being careful, but she also understood that Madam Guogong wouldn't say such things for no reason, so she lowered her voice and answered, looking at Princess Tai'an. Although he is in his thirties, he is still well-maintained. He looks only in his mid-twenties, which is the time when he is at his best. At this moment, his eyes are fixed on Luo Qingyan, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and his eyes are dark.

As if sensing that Yun Shang was looking at her, Princess Tai'an turned her eyes, smiled slightly at Yun Shang, and then looked away again.

"It is said that there are no side concubines or concubines in Prince Rui's mansion. There is only one woman, the concubine. She is so infatuated that all women in the world are very envious." The queen said calmly, her voice was calm and unwavering, as if she had mentioned this incident unintentionally. However, Yun Chang couldn't help but keep an eye on it. Could it be that the queen wanted to put a woman next to the prince?

Luo Qingyan always looked cold, and never said a word from the beginning to the night, as if he was watching an irrelevant farce.

He only raised his eyes when he heard what the queen said, and glanced across the queen's face lightly, and said with a sneer, "The empress said that, is she blaming your majesty for having three thousand in the harem, and the empress can't be alone?"

The Queen's face changed slightly when she heard the words, but in an instant, she put on a smile again, "Where did Prince Rui's words come from, I just appreciate Prince Rui's infatuation, but I also know that, Women are jealous and cannot tolerate others, but this is the sixth of the seven sins."

Prince Jing smiled coldly, "This king's concubine is not jealous, but this king is jealous, and this king cannot allow others to distract the princess' attention. This king does not want the princess to focus on dealing with the situation because of the need. matters, but cannot be with the king all the time."

There was a slight silence at the banquet, but I heard Luo Qingyan's voice coming coldly, "My king has never been very tempered, if someone always likes to go to the palace to disturb the peace of the princess, then it's no wonder I'm so rude. "

The queen was humiliated twice by Prince Jing, she was already a little embarrassed, she was silent for a moment before she said, "My lord came to Xia Kingdom for the first time, don't show such a cold appearance, be careful to frighten all the lovely ladies present here. After finishing speaking, he said again, "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that you want everyone to have a small competition together, and those who win will get a big reward?"

Xia Huanyu nodded with a smile, "Xia Guo has always respected literati, so let's play a flower order today. It's not for punishment today, just rewards and not punishment. I will issue a flower order, and if someone can pick it up, I will stand up by myself If there is no one to answer in the end, then we win, do you have any objections?"

Yun Chang has heard before that Xia Guo's order to spread flowers is not like that of Ning State, which is just drumming to pass a flower, but with flowers as the theme. The person who wrote the title reads a poem, and the flower appears in the first few words of the poem. The person receiving the flower order needs to read a poem in the same way, and the name of the flower must appear in the same position in the poem.

When no one answered, Xia Huanyu said with a smile, "Then the widow has asked a question? People's faces are red with peach blossoms."

As soon as the words fell, Princess Tai'an said with a smile, "Yingri lotus is so red."

Then, a few people who Yunshang couldn't name took the order, but it took longer and longer. Yunshang looked at it lightly, but didn't speak. A young man over there had already stood up. , "Leave the lotus withered to listen to the sound of rain."

After a long while, no one said anything, Xia Huanyu smiled slightly, "No more? That means Su Shilang won?"

Princess Tai'an also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law really comes from a scholarly family, and all the siblings in the family are talented."

Yun Chang's eyes fell on the young man, seeing that his appearance was not outstanding, but his eyes were full of arrogance, and he seemed a little dismissive of Princess Tai'an's praise.

The palace man on the side walked up to Yunshang with a jug, and when he saw that Yunshang's cup was empty, he bent down.

"Wait." Luo Qingyan uttered suddenly, and everyone in the garden looked towards him. Xia Huanyu showed a bit of a smile on his face, looked at Luo and said softly, "Did Prince Rui come up with such a wonderful flower order?"

Luo Qingyan seemed to be in a daze for a while, and glanced at the people at the table, and then hooked the corners of his lips, "Sorry, I didn't mean to accept the flower order, I just saw the maid pouring wine for the princess, and wanted to let the princess She waits, the princess is recovering from a serious illness, it is not suitable to drink alcohol, let's change to tea. Well, you continue..."

Everyone at the table had different expressions, and their eyes fell on the palace maid who was bending down to pour wine for Yunshang. The palace maid was suddenly looked at by everyone like this, and she was a little nervous. She tilted the wine pot and spilled the wine on the table. Seeing this, the servant girl's face turned pale with fright, she fell to her knees heavily on the ground with a thud, and said again and again, "My lord, forgive me, my lord, my servant didn't do it on purpose."

The banquet suddenly fell silent, only to hear a "pop", Luo Qingyan put the wine glass in his hand on the table suddenly, and looked at the maidservant with some unkind eyes, the maidservant's body trembled even more violently up.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit condensed, Yun Chang laughed softly, turned around and helped the palace maid and said, "It's nothing, I don't blame you, the prince scared you, right?"

The maid in the palace stood up tremblingly, and the queen said slowly, "The maid in the palace made a mistake, so naturally she should be punished."

"Empress, empress, it's the prince who made a sudden noise that frightened the palace servant. If it were punished, the prince should be punished even more. The servant is innocent." Yun Chang said, raising her eyes to look at the cold Luo, who was sitting with a face down, said lightly.

Xia Huanyu pondered for a moment before opening his mouth, "Prince Rui's return is originally a happy event, since it is a happy event, the atmosphere shouldn't be spoiled by a trivial matter, step back."

The palace maid hurriedly bowed and retreated hastily. Yun Chang's eyes fell on the wine spilled on the table, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes. \u003c
