Chapter 244 The Palace Scandal (3)
"Princess Eldest, come, let us toast you, and calm down. Don't be as knowledgeable as those officials." Mrs. Ning Hou raised her wine glass and said to Princess Eldest.

"Oh! This is really chilling! Though my daughter is not one in a million, she hasn't harmed anyone. She is still a child, and she is charged with such a crime by these people. What will happen in the future? This man's words are terrifying, and his saliva can kill people..." The eldest princess sighed and shook her head.

Princess Cheng also persuaded from the side: "Those people are like mad dogs. When they see whoever bites, the eldest princess will ignore those barking. Come on, today the princess is appointed as the queen of our Dayun Dynasty. What a happy event. The concubine even deserves a drink from the eldest princess."

"Thank you, Princess." The Eldest Princess forced a smile and toasted Madam Ninghou and Princess Cheng in return.

After the few courtiers over there had finished drinking with the emperor, the emperor raised his glass to the Eldest Princess and said with a chuckle, "Auntie, I would like to toast you too. What happened today..."

The eldest princess naturally couldn't let the emperor apologize to herself, so she quickly took the words and said with a calm smile: "The unhappy things have passed, just like Princess Cheng said, why bother with those people. I don't care about it. Don't take it to heart, Your Majesty. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your trust in the Han family and in this palace. In addition, Qianqian is still young. Although the imperial edict to become a queen has been issued, we still have to send her into the palace. Prepare carefully. So please allow some time, Your Majesty."

Yun Shuo nodded and said, "Naturally, just prepare slowly, Auntie."

After hearing this, the eldest princess finally showed a serious smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

The unpleasant things were wiped away, and everyone was pushing and changing cups again.

The atmosphere this time was completely different from before. The ministers and wives present all stepped forward to congratulate the emperor, Duke Zhen and Princess Dachang.Most people in this world are winking, knowing that things are a foregone conclusion and can no longer be changed, so they take advantage of the wind and start planning their own new interests.There are only a few people with dead elm heads, still hiding in the corner with their necks stuck and drinking.It's just that no one is in the mood to pay attention to these people, even the emperor is thinking in his heart, as long as they don't stand up to make trouble like the two bastards before, there are plenty of ways to deal with them later.

The Han family stole the limelight this time, attracting many envious and jealous eyes.

Others don't mention it, but they also say that Shao Xilan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is very restless in his heart, especially Shao Xilan's wife. At this moment, she can't wait to put Shao Suwen directly beside Han Qian to be a dowry girl, even if she puts on clothes and dowry. good.

"Congratulations to the eldest princess! You really raised a good daughter!" Mrs. Shao made a special trip to toast the eldest princess with a wine glass.

The Eldest Princess smiled and shook her head: "It's just a naughty bastard. What happened today really made everyone laugh. Speaking of it, it's because of my goddaughter's incompetence. I'm ashamed, I'm really ashamed."

"The daughter of the princess, who has an alluring appearance at a very young age, is also quick-witted and transparent. She is an extremely rare good girl!" Mrs. Shao searched her stomach, hoping not to let her words of praise be too abrupt, and then If I accidentally broke the taboo of the Eldest Princess, my busy work will be wasted this time.

"Madam is ridiculous." The princess was really indifferent. When someone pointed at her daughter just now and said that she was a witch who harmed the country and the people and flattered the emperor, none of these people stood up and farted. Another person came to praise her daughter as a flower, and the Eldest Princess was too lazy to deal with this kind of person who stepped on the high and stepped on the low to see the wind.

Mrs. Shao wanted to say something else, but Shao Suwen came from behind, first gave a blessing to the eldest princess, smiled apologetically, and whispered something in Mrs. Shao's ear.Mrs. Shao was stunned, and looked at Shao Suwen hesitantly. Seeing her frowning again and shaking her head, Fang turned to the eldest princess and said, "Princess eldest, please take a seat. The concubine has a little matter, so I will take my leave first."

The eldest princess smiled and nodded: "Madam Shao, please feel free."

Shao Suwen apologized again to the Eldest Princess, and Fang followed Mrs. Shao to leave in a hurry.

After avoiding the crowd, Mrs. Shao frowned and asked Shao Suwen: "What's going on?!"

Shao Suwen hurriedly lowered her head and replied: "My daughter can't tell, my father just asked someone to come over and pass on a message to me, saying that something happened to my elder brother, and told my wife to come here quickly and wait for him."

"What could happen to Juanwen?!" Mrs. Shao panicked, Shao Juanwen was her only son!This is in the palace again, if something happens to him, how will he live!
"My daughter doesn't know either." Shao Suwen was also very anxious. It was said that it was the confidant maid of the Shao family who spread the word, and there would be no way out.

The mother and daughter here were in a hurry, when they suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind Huamu, the two hurriedly turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw Shao Xilan leading a blue-robed boy hurrying over.When the boy saw Mrs. Shao, he cupped his hands and called out, "My nephew has seen my aunt."

Mrs. Shao waved her hand, frowned and said, "There's no need to be polite here, tell me what happened to Juan Wen?"

"My nephew couldn't tell, but at the banquet just now, a court lady called my cousin out, and he still didn't come back after so long. My nephew thought it was suspicious, so he quietly searched around. I can't find my cousin at all! I asked some eunuchs and maids, but no one saw where he went!"

"You said that a maid called him, but do you know which master the maid is with?" Mrs. Shao asked hurriedly.

The young man shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "The maids in this palace all look the same, and it's the first time for my nephew to enter the palace, so I don't know which master is here."

"There's not even a clue?!" Mrs. Shao stomped her feet anxiously, "How can such a big living person say he's gone?!"

"Oh, it's useless for you to yell here! I asked you to come out, just to ask you, is there any strange thing at the table of your female relatives? Or did someone say something strange?" Shao Xilan was anxious asked.

Mrs. Shao shook her head and said, "No! Just now, didn't everyone watch that Yang and Shang compete with the Han family? How can anyone make such a fuss!"

"That's really weird!" Shao Xilan stroked his beard and fell into deep thought—ordinarily this banquet was arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette, and he, Shao Xilan, took care of the whole process, including the food and drinks.Who would target himself at this time and quietly detain his son?Besides, this is the imperial palace garden!The only ones who can casually arrest people here are the emperor's guards!
How did Shao Juanwen offend the emperor? !Thinking of this, Shao Xilan broke out in a cold sweat.

"Master Shao! Master Shao!"

A woman's voice came anxiously from behind, which startled Shao Xilan - in this deep palace, is there such a strange woman who would look for him in such a hurry?
