The black belly prince falls from the sky and the cute concubine

Chapter 21 Banquet
Therefore, Xia Jinxuan thought that Xia Jinhan treated him differently, because he was not hostile to him, and even loved him very much.But even so, Xia Jinhan never led him along the road like that. Even when he was young, he often fell down while walking, Xia Jinhan never helped him himself.

Concubine Shu lowered her head, gave Xia Jinxuan a cold look, and said, "Xuan'er, remember, don't meddle in things that shouldn't be meddled in. If you still want to follow your prince brother, don't meddle in his affairs."

Xia Jinxuan is only six years old this year. Although he looks old-fashioned and upright and resolute, he is still young after all, and he only vaguely understands Concubine Shu's words.

It was only later that I realized that the mother and concubine had seen everything through long ago, but when he understood, he was already deeply trapped and could no longer extricate himself.

Along the way, Shangguan Qing'er was fascinated by the scenery of the palace, looking here and there, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, Xia Jinhan couldn't bear to look at it.

After finally bringing the curious cat into the imperial garden, Xia Jinhan's expression softened a lot, but suddenly became indifferent again.He still led Shangguan Qing'er, took Qingyun and Lihua, and two eunuchs and two court ladies into the imperial garden.

Because they walked very slowly along the way, when they came in, the sun had already set, and the imperial garden was already full of guests, bustling and bustling.

As soon as Xia Jinhan stepped into the imperial garden, the eunuch at the door immediately sang excitedly, "His Royal Highness is here—"

Hearing this, the originally bustling imperial garden immediately became silent, so quiet that a needle could be heard clearly.

Afterwards, everyone stood up, bowed their knees in the direction of Xia Jinhan at the door, and said in unison, "See His Royal Highness, Your Highness is thousands of years old."

Xia Jinhan has long been used to such scenes, wearing a bright yellow python robe flicking his sleeves, raised his hand and looked at those present indifferently, with natural domineering, "Excuse me, everyone."

All the people present got up and took their seats one after another. Some courageous women secretly looked up at the prince, seeing that he was cold all over, but handsome as a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world, they couldn't help but blushed, and their breathing became irregular. .

Standing next to Xia Jinhan, Shangguan Qing'er's petite body was easily overlooked. Xia Jinhan was too radiant, plus she was small, so it was difficult to attract people's attention.

It's just that others ignored her, but she didn't ignore those present.

A pair of watery eyes swept across the men and women present, and recorded all those women who took the opportunity to wink at His Highness the Crown Prince and those who blushed but still secretly looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with those squinting eyes.She pouted and thought to herself, Xia Jinhan is so handsome, it's no wonder those women are peeping at him, but if you want to be the concubine's wife of Shangguan Qinger, you have to pass her test, hehe.

Just when she was proud, she suddenly found two gazes on her. She looked up and met Xia Jinxuan's slightly angry eyes. She frowned, looked away, and met Xia Jinxuan again. On the opposite side was a monstrous face full of provocation and disdain.

Xia Jinxuan glared at her. She could understand that he was jealous that she could be by Xia Jinhan's side, so why did that person show such an expression to her?
Xia Jinhan led Shangguan Qing'er forward slowly, and came to the front throne, and saluted the queen mother and several concubines who were already sitting on the seats.

It was only then that Shangguan Qing'er could see clearly that the man sitting opposite Xia Jinxuan was wearing a bright red foreign costume, with tassels on his waist belt, and there seemed to be bells, which made him, who was originally a monster, look better than a woman. But also enchanting.He just sat lazily on that seat, obviously not yet ten years old, but there was a mature expression on that monstrous face, that provocative expression made people want to kick him twice.

Shangguan Qing'er rolled her eyes at him with disdain, made a grimace again, and then looked at the monstrous face that instantly became ugly, turned around triumphantly, avoiding his glaring eyes.

At this time, Xia Jinhan's voice came from the top of his head, "Qing'er, why don't you salute the queen mother and empress dowager?"

Shangguan Qing'er lowered his head timidly, and his clear and pleasant voice came out sweetly, "Qing'er sees the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress is a thousand years old."

The crisp voice, like big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate, was heard in this quiet imperial garden, causing everyone to turn their attention to Shangguan Qing'er.

Shangguan Qing'er was a superstar who attracted thousands of people's attention in her previous life. Naturally, she would not be afraid of those people's eyes. She raised her head, and her immature face faced the empress dowager and several young concubines. She grinned, and her watery eyes immediately It becomes radiant and colorful, making people feel affection and pity when they look at it.

The empress dowager and several concubines in the seat suddenly felt their eyes light up, looked at the little girl curtseying to him, and said with a smile, "Where did the prince find such a cute little girl? Hehe, get up quickly, come over and let the Ai family take a look. "

Shangguan Qing'er stood up, raised his eyes, and asked Xia Jinhan's opinion with his eyes.

And at this moment, the eunuch's sharp shout came from outside the door, saving Shangguan Qing'er, "The emperor is here, the empress is here, and Princess Jingyi is here."

Xia Jinhan pulled Shangguan Qing'er, and followed the crowd to salute the people who came in, saying, "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor... the empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."

Emperor Zhaojin, who was only about 40 years old, was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. He led the queen, who was only in her 30s, followed by a graceful and generous teenage girl in dark purple palace attire, and walked into the imperial garden together. A group of people who bowed their heads and saluted slowly walked towards the front seat.

The emperor didn't raise his hand until he stopped in front of the throne, with a hearty smile on his resolute and handsome face, "Excuse me, everyone, today's celebration banquet is for the prince who has traveled a long distance to cleanse the dust. You don't have to be too restrained, just enjoy yourself." Eat and drink."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone got up and took their seats one after another. Xia Jinhan also pulled Shangguan Qing'er to sit down on the seat that Emperor Zhaojin had ordered.

However, there was only Xia Jinhan's seat there, but no one reserved a seat for Shangguan Qing'er.

He remembered that at noon, he clearly mentioned Shangguan Qinger to Emperor Zhaojin, and asked Qingran to order him to give Shangguan Qinger an extra seat. Is this someone deliberately finding fault?Xia Jinhan only frowned slightly, but didn't say anything immediately.

Seeing that someone was looking at him with cold and sharp eyes, Xia Jin narrowed his eyes coldly, picked up Shangguan Qing'er, and sat down on the seat.

Then, Xia Jinhan raised his eyes and looked at the third prince Xia Jinyu who was beside him in a black robe, just in time to see Xia Jinyu's face change from complacent to gloomy.
