Chapter 91 Jealous

The war is set for the first time, so it is not suitable to have a lot of wine and meat. Tonight's banquet is full of vegetarian dishes, and there are several jars of wine, and there is no trace of meat.

During the meal, the side hall is so quiet that even the sound of chopsticks can't be heard.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was there, which showed that the family attached great importance to self-cultivation. Ye Lingwu raised her eyes and scanned the banquet room quietly. Everyone ate very politely, even Shen Pan'er, who was lively and active on weekdays, was also elegant.

Ye Lingwu took a deep breath, and ate with her body upright. She had never paid attention to these etiquettes since she was a child, and she never thought that one day she would be able to dine with His Royal Highness, the future emperor.

Later, when I returned to Yuzhou, I was bragging again when I said it.

When the meal was almost finished, the prince put down his chopsticks, and everyone stopped their chopsticks after seeing it.

"It's been so sad for Suyue for so many years, and it's really sad that he suddenly suffered a lot." The prince held up the wine glass, "This glass of wine is to thank General Zhao Guozhu for the people of Suyue, and then wish He Qinghai from now on. Yan, Minkang Wufu."

Shen Zhan held up the wine glass in one hand, and said solemnly: "It is the mission of the minister to protect the family and the country, and I also wish that the common people will have enough food and warm clothes to live and work in peace and contentment."

The prince smiled and raised his head to drink.

Everyone followed suit.

The wine on the table was not sweet rice wine, but a certain degree of medicinal wine soaked in ginseng, which was a little hot in the throat after drinking it.

Ye Lingwu drank, and couldn't help frowning. Just as she put down the wine glass angrily, she heard the person beside her whisper, "If you're not used to drinking, don't drink it."

Ye Lingwu raised her eyes when she heard the words, and said nonuo: "But everyone drinks, it would be too impolite for me not to drink."

The smile on Shen Zhan's face faded a little, and he said: "Then drink less, your complexion is not good, are you sick in Eucalyptus these days?"

Under the slightly dim candlelight, the girl's complexion was pale, and her spirit was a little sluggish.

Ye Lingwu touched her face, and replied: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern. I have been with Yaoshi for a long time these days, but it's just that a bad appetite doesn't get in the way."

As she spoke, she lightly raised her eyes to glance at Shen Zhan's shoulder, and asked, "Is Hou Ye fully healed?"

Shen Zhan said: "That's all."

"It's fine as long as it's all over. Master Hou left that night in a hurry, and he forgot to give you the ointment that Dr. Li specially prepared for you, and he has been nagging for several days afterwards." Ye Lingwu's face was full of naivety. Smiling, thinking of Dr. Li's chattering mouth when he was grabbing the medicine, the days passed so quickly.

"Since you remember Doctor Li's nagging, why don't you come and deliver the medicine yourself?" Shen Zhan poured cold water on him coldly.

Ye Lingwu's smile froze, and he stammered, "Then... that's because... because the medical hut is too busy, I just thought that Lord Hou has a lot of people to take care of. If you need to change the medicine, there is also a medical center in the city."

Shen Zhan lowered his eyes and fell silent.

At this moment, she heard a small cough coming from the opposite side. Ye Lingwu followed the sound, and it turned out that Jiang Gu, who couldn't drink, had choked. Wu Shi who was on the side quickly poured a cup of hot water, and served Jiang Gu while she was carrying her back. He drank hot water.

Ye Lingwu looked at her with envy, and unconsciously looked at the seat of the Shen family next to her, just in time to meet the gaze cast by Shen Ci, and her eyes met, thinking that Shen Ci also saw the loving appearance of the Jiang family and his wife. He hooked the corner of his mouth silently.

At this moment, Ye Lingwu only heard a sudden "塿" sound from the side, and Ye Lingwu turned her head to look down, and saw that the chopsticks in Shen Zhan's hand were actually cracked, and when she looked up again, Shen Zhan had long eyelashes hanging down , with a dark face and no words.

Ye Lingwu's heart moved, and after thinking that she hadn't spoken to him just now, there should be no offense, so she said, "Master Hou, let me let the envoy change the chopsticks for you."

"No need." Shen Zhan's tone was blunt, he put down the broken chopsticks, and began to drink one cup after another.

Ye Lingwu turned her head away from looking at him, as if sitting on pins and needles, she just wanted the banquet to end quickly.

But after thinking about it, after all, sitting next to him was the powerful Ning Beihou, how could Ye Lingwu dare to be negligent, and then said: "Master Hou is hurting his body by drinking like this, and you have so many injuries on your body, it is better to drink less... ..."

"No problem." Shen Zhan put down his glass and interrupted with a deep voice.

Ye Lingwu frowned.

Hearing his tone was quite resentful, when did I offend him, it was obviously fine before, that's all, say less and make less mistakes, it's good if you don't say anything.

Therefore, Ye Lingwu picked up a piece of rice cake and took a bite.

Very sweet.

The banquet over there was also full of drinks, Taifu Lou raised his head and took a sip of the wine, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Shen Ci staring at Ye Lingwu at the banquet here.

He stroked his beard, and said upwards: "Old lady Shen, Jing Yan is almost eighteen, so why don't you worry about looking at you?"

Shen Ci raised his eyebrows, and said leisurely: "Master Taifu cares about me so much, why, do you want to change careers and become a matchmaker?"

Mrs. Lou choked.This brat's mouth is too short.

Shen Ci is the only one in the capital who dares to hate the important ministers of the court. When he was in the capital, he relied on one mouth to expose the Lou family to the turmoil. After a few days of being verbalized, he almost fainted out of breath. When we meet again, he naturally can't let Shen Ci go easily.

"I said that Jing Yan is not young anymore, so you have to be cautious in what you say and do. I am also your elder. How can it be my fault to ask a few questions?"

Shen Ci said: "Master Taifu's words are a big hat for me. The younger generation is not very good at talking. Haven't you seen it before?"

Mrs. Lou choked again.

The old lady Shen put down her chopsticks, and replied unhurriedly: "Teacher, don't be as knowledgeable as Jing Yan. My two grandsons have more opinions than the other. My old lady can't control it. It's useless to worry. Instead Worrying about them is better than worrying about these girls."

Shen Pan'er's ears twitched, and said, "Grandmother, I don't need you to worry about my granddaughter." At this moment, she thought Jiang Lanshu was there, and the 17-year-old girl had more to worry about than she did.

Old Mrs. Shen glared at her, and said: "You, I don't worry about it either. After returning to Beijing, your mother will naturally make arrangements for you."

Hearing this, the crown prince smiled and said: "The marriage of this girl's family can't be rushed. The third girl Shen is the daughter of the Ningbei Houfu, and the sons who can match her in the capital have to pay attention to character."

Shen Pan'er nodded in agreement: "That's right, the Crown Princess just married His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess is a Jiangzhou nobleman, and she is quite a good match with the Crown Prince. If the Crown Princess hadn't entered the palace to celebrate the Empress's birthday when she was 17 years old, she might not have returned." It will not be able to make a good marriage story with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince said: "Speaking of which, Third Miss Shen hasn't entered the palace for a long time. Yuan Ying often mentioned you before, thinking about when you, the little sun and Yue'er, will enter the palace to accompany you."

Shen Pan'er's eyes lit up, and she replied: "Okay, when I return to Beijing, I must go to the palace with Yue'er to talk to the Crown Princess."

Shen Yue'er said: "I've heard that the concubine's delivery date is approaching, so I guess we will be able to attend the full moon banquet held by His Royal Highness and the concubine after we return to Beijing."

The crown prince nodded and smiled, and said: "It will be next month." He raised his arms and cupped his hands towards the crowd. "At that time, I will also invite the whole family of Ningbei Marquis Mansion and Mrs. Lou to enter the palace for a drink together."
