Your majesty, your queen has run away again

Chapter 838 Will the empress come over?

Ming Yan looked at his son as if no one should talk to me or bother me, he sighed in his heart...

This Xiang girl is not here, this kid has no good face all day long, he is still like this at the palace banquet, and he is not afraid to scare the group of ministers and daughters from opening their mouths to eat...

In fact, he said that he thought too much, except when he was in front of Murong Yunxiang, or occasionally in front of Nangong Rui and the others, no matter what the occasion, Xia Shize was still the same cold talker who refused people thousands of miles away, never changed!
"Then let's get started!"

Mingyan stood up and looked around the audience: "Today is the Laba Festival. As the saying goes, after Laba is the New Year, thinking that the year will pass soon, His Majesty specially hosted a banquet to thank you for your kindness to His Majesty during this period of time." Support and trust, so all the adults, wives and ladies present don't need to be restrained, just like in your own home, be more casual..."

"Yes, princess!"

Everyone stood up and said in unison, and then took their seats again under Mingyan's signal.

Ming said that although she seldom appeared on such occasions before, everyone had already learned about her demeanor during Xia Shize and Murong Yunxiang's wedding, and now she is not surprised at all.

However, as a respected princess, the peace revealed in both words and demeanor still amazed everyone, especially those girls who looked up to Xia Shize's harem, thinking that such a mother-in-law must enter the palace You must be very happy!

Thinking of it, they became even more jealous of Murong Yunxiang, but that woman only showed her face once on the day she became the throne, and she has never seen anyone since. I don't know if the person who came to receive him made a mistake and was placed under house arrest?

If so, they have a better chance, don't they?
Laba porridge is naturally indispensable in the Laba feast. After some side dishes are served, a bowl of Laba porridge with good color, fragrance and taste is placed in front of everyone. A bowl of porridge is very appetizing just by looking at it.

"Well, that's right. The Laba porridge cooked in the imperial dining room is much better than the one made by the cook of the king's Xiaoyaoju. Honorable princess, can I give you another bowl?"

Nangong Rui has always been unable to hold back, he watched those women staring at Xia Shize while drinking porridge, he couldn't take it anymore, he had to do something!
"Xiao Rui, you did it on purpose, right? If you want to drink it, it's not always available. Today, I became polite in front of everyone! But there will be other dishes in a while. You drank too much porridge for a while. But I can’t eat the delicious food!”

Knowing that Nangong Rui was active, she reprimanded him with a smile, and then ordered the nurse beside her to bring another bowl to Nangong Rui.

The plain words made everyone laugh, and many young girls' thoughts turned to Nangong Rui. This Prince Rui is really good-looking, rich and still a prince...

"Princess, you have misunderstood me, this bowl of Laba porridge, I drink it for Xiangxiang. I remember she once said to me: It is better than porridge, and it is better than fish!"

Speaking of which, Nangong Rui glanced at Xia Shize thoughtfully, and found that he didn't respond, and was a little annoyed: "Now that Xiangxiang is not here, the elder brother, Chen, will drink for her, and she has never drank for her. It’s a pity to eat the Laba porridge made by this imperial dining room!”

"That minister should drink an extra bowl!"

Murong Yunqi is not to be outdone, he has never been outdone when it comes to protecting his sister.

"Chen also come to a bowl!"

When this topic is brought up, Bailiyi is naturally indispensable.

As soon as Murong Yunxiang's name was mentioned, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and it became quiet for a moment, only the crisp sound of the spoons of the three people sitting next to each other hitting the edge of the bowl could be heard.

There were also many people secretly observing Xia Shize's face, and found that Xia Shize was still expressionless as usual, holding the spoon with his slender fingers and slowly stirring the Laba porridge, then casually brought the porridge to his mouth and took a sip, only to see his Adam's apple Move around...

The women in the boudoir sitting with His Highness couldn't stand it anymore, His Majesty's appearance of drinking porridge is simply too tempting...

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen the empress for a long time. I wonder if the empress will come to the palace banquet today?"

Finally someone lost his temper, and it was the wife of Zhou Yuanshan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who spoke first. The person she asked was not Xia Shize, but Mingyan who was sitting not far from her.

This week Madam Zhou couldn't even hear the sound of the spoon touching the bowl. Everyone put down the bowls and chopsticks, and all looked at Mingyan!

Mingyan complained in his heart, his face was a little ugly.

The fact that Murong Yunxiang left Licheng to go to Xichi Mountain was hidden from the truth. Fortunately, someone in Xia Guogong's mansion asked about it before, and then passed it. Seeing that he did not want to say more, the other party did not dare to ask further questions.

Now that this is being asked in public, it is really hard to say for a while, the Yingchun Hall is very quiet for a while.

Mrs. Zhou who provoked the head just now was stared at by Zhou Yuanshan several times. She regretted it in her heart, and complained to the wife of the Minister of Justice and others beside her...

In fact, the Zhou family does not have any girls of the right age, and Mrs. Zhou was also pushed by several other people to feel that she has nothing to ask and it is irrelevant, but now it seems that the queen has never appeared before. Wouldn't react like that anymore.

Zhou Yuanshan hated his stupid wife to death, you said no one would say what you chose?
"The empress is not used to lively occasions, and I never interfere with her wishes, but she will definitely come to the palace banquet today!"

Seeing that Mingyan whispered a few words to Xia Yuanting and was about to speak, Xia Shize raised his head and spoke first.

As soon as Xia Shize's words came out of his mouth, the eyes of many aristocratic ladies were filled with disappointment. It turned out that His Majesty has been conniving the Queen to hide away...

So don't they have no chance?
But some shrewd people looked at the expressions of the Zunwang couple and Nangong Rui, and they felt that there was something strange about it, maybe what His Majesty said was just a cover-up!

Regardless of what their thoughts are, Nangong Rui, Xia Yuanting and Murong Lingche's jaws almost dropped after hearing Xia Shize's words.

Everyone among them knew that Murong Yunxiang had gone to Xichi Mountain, and had never heard the news that the girl was coming back before. Could it be that Xia Shize said that he wanted to use a substitute to fool the people in the palace? Are you desperate?
Xia Yuanting and Murong Lingche thought so, but Nangong Rui, Murong Yunqi and Baili Yi had other ideas. They stared at Xia Shize, and Xia Shize also looked at them, raising his eyebrows...

KAO!

This guy must have something to hide from them, no wonder he laughed so happily in the imperial study before?

There is no other reason, it must be that she is coming back!
