marry the princess

Chapter 28 Dinner
Murong Huayi and Su Leyan arrived at the palace just after you hour, and it was still early before the Queen Mother's dinner, so they casually wandered around in the royal garden of the palace, and it was almost time before turning to the palace where the Queen Mother hosted the banquet, and then in the middle of the night On the way, I ran into Murong Yunnuo who came in a hurry.

"Fourteenth brother?" Murong Yunnuo was startled when he saw them, "Why are you here?"

"We just walked a few steps in the imperial garden, brother Jiu is in such a hurry, what happened?"

"My subordinates were not doing well, and there was a mistake, which delayed the time." Murong Yunnuo slowed down when he met them, "If the gift I prepared for the queen mother is delayed, I will definitely give them a meal when I go back Good board to eat."

Although Murong Huayi said that he wanted to punish people, but now his forehead was sweating, he was anxious, but not angry.A few followers behind him were carrying a large box that was almost as tall as a person. Hearing his words, they were still a little timid, and carefully held the corner of the box.

Su Leyan stared at the big wooden box, and couldn't help being curious, "Is this a gift prepared by His Highness Ninth Prince for the Empress Dowager?"

Murong Yunnuo looked at Su Leyan and smiled, "That's right. Don't look at this big box as clumsy, but I can guarantee that the things inside will definitely open your eyes. I just went to Xiyun a few days ago A trip, coincidentally, it happened to be a rare lotus festival, and I caught up with the best day of the lotus festival when I went there, and I won a good prize at the lotus festival..."

"This big gift is for the Queen Mother. If Ninth Brother says it now, and the Queen Mother asks later, if someone already knows about it, it won't be able to surprise the Queen Mother." Murong Huayi interrupted calmly. Murong Yunnuo's words.

Su Leyan noticed the low tone in Murong Huayi's tone, realized it later, and hurriedly saluted and apologized, "Xinyao has been reckless and talkative, don't blame the Ninth Highness."

Murong Yunnuo looked at Su Leyan, who was reminded by Murong Huayi, with a little panic on his face, and said three times that it would not be a problem, "It's no big deal. Although I have spent some thought, it is not so mysterious. I will tell you now. No problem."

Murong Yunnuo smiled generously, and seeing how friendly he was, Su Leyan also smiled easily.

"Ninth brother is so happy to see this great gift, so we go first." Murong Huayi took Su Leyan's hand, left him and went ahead.

Su Leyan's wrist was pulled by him, it hurt a little, but she didn't dare to speak, just now she almost made a mistake by talking too much, it's normal for Murong Huayi to be a little angry now.Su Leyan endured in silence for a while, then suddenly became surprised, "His Highness Ninth Prince has prepared a gift for the Empress Dowager, what do we have for the Empress Dowager?"

They seemed empty-handed when they came... Su Leyan was a little dumbfounded, this was the first time she entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, as the Queen Mother's daughter-in-law, did she not prepare a present to honor her for the first time? !

Seeing that she was still thinking about the gift, Murong Huayi asked with a gloomy face, "Have you prepared anything?"

Su Leyan shook her head foolishly, and looked at him eagerly.

"Since you are not prepared, what are you asking now?" Murong Huayi said angrily.

Su Leyan was dumbfounded, they didn't come in a hurry, but she really didn't think of this incident, seeing Murong Yunnuo carrying such a big box, it was a gift that took a lot of effort to prepare, she suddenly remembered Although they are here for a banquet, this ceremony is indeed a meeting ceremony.

"I didn't prepare any presents. When the time comes, we'll see them all presenting big gifts to the queen mother, and we'll just sit aside. This..." Su Leyan frowned, anxious, "Isn't this a joke for people to see us?"

"Aren't you ready to embarrass this king?" Murong Huayi was still not in a hurry, "This king is also mentally prepared to bear your embarrassment."

"..."

On the way forward, Su Leyan kept looking around eagerly, as if a good gift would suddenly appear for her to present to the queen mother later, walking through the garden, she also stared intently at the flowers, wishing that there would be a gift in the flowers. There are golden golden flowers, so that she can pick them and give them to the queen mother to show her filial piety.

"You want to give your mother a gift so much?" Murong Huayi felt uneasy all the way seeing her.

"Naturally, it's the first time I've met the Empress Dowager, how can this lack of etiquette be justified..." Su Leyan stared at him, "Do you have an idea to save it?"

Murong Huayi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Speak quickly!"

"The queen mother has been looking forward to hugging the emperor's grandson as soon as possible. If you tell the queen mother that you are going to make the queen mother the emperor's grandma, I think she will be very happy."

"..."

It was useless to tangle all the way, and finally came to the palace where the Empress Dowager hosted the banquet. The decoration in the palace was extremely elegant, but not extravagant, which was the usual style of the Empress Dowager Chengyuan. The wind swings.There are no musicians in the courtyard, but there is the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, which is quiet and moving, and it is suitable for the beautiful scenery of the garden.On the left and right sides of the courtyard paved with bluestone slabs are the couches and small tables of the princes and princes. The red carpet extends down from the steps in the main hall and paves the road in the middle. There are several tables behind the small tables in the courtyard. The prince was seated, and the maids were serving wine in the courtyard, but there was no one on the empress dowager's place above the steps.

Outside the hall, the fifth princess and her son-in-law are sitting behind the first table from the left, the seventh prince Murong Yu and the seventh concubine Luo Suyun are in the third seat, and then the fifteenth princess and the tenth princess are sitting on the seat on the right. Sixth Highness.The fifteenth princess was twelve, and His Highness the Sixteenth was only ten years old this year. Because they were young, they all took their seats accompanied by their respective guardian aunts.

Murong Huayi took Su Leyan over there, and met the fifth princess, the seventh prince and the seventh concubine in turn, exchanged a few polite greetings, and then went to the side of the fifteenth princess and sixteenth highness, the two well-behaved children were all facing Su Leyan Tiantian called "Fourteen Emperor's Wife", and the two casually chatted with them before taking their seats.

On the small table in front of her were exquisite wine cups and some delicate snacks, Su Leyan sat upright, not daring to relax.Murong Huayi sat down relaxedly, and the maid who served beside him poured fine wine, sipped lightly, and then watched Su Leyan secretly look at the fifteenth princess and sixteenth highness sitting opposite her.They are still children, talking and laughing with each other at the moment.

"A child of this size should not have prepared a gift for the empress dowager..." Su Leyan thought, if there were more unintentional princes around, they would not be so embarrassed after the Ninth Prince presented the treasure, but rather Sometimes I will praise His Highness the Ninth Highness a few more times, and feel ashamed of myself, maybe I can get over it.

Murong Huayi felt that her worried appearance seemed very peaceful, so he didn't say much, just rested.

"The empress dowager is here."

After a while, a eunuch came out from the hall with slightly bent waist and knees, and sang loudly, and all the people in the courtyard stood up respectfully, and stood up in full dress, "Your minister (concubine) sees the Queen Mother."

"It's all up."

A joyful voice sounded afterward. After thanking the gift, Su Leyan got up and saw the Empress Dowager Chengyuan who was already seated on the throne of the phoenix chair. She smiled kindly, "The Ai family hasn't sat with you like this for a long time. Seeing all of you here today, the Ai family is very happy."

"The queen mother is already happy to see us. If so, we will often visit the queen mother in the palace. I'm afraid the queen mother will feel disturbed again." Murong Yunnuo said, smiling like an urchin.

"Old Ninth." The Empress Dowager Chengyuan stared at him feigning anger, putting on a majestic air, but she couldn't hold it for a while before laughing, "You child, at this age, you are still poor with Aijia, how can you be a bit The appearance of a grown-up? He has the same temperament as Shi 56..."

Being reprimanded by the Queen Mother, Fifteen and Sixteen looked at Murong Yun and smiled, "Brother Nine Emperors..."

"Look at you..." The Empress Dowager Chengyuan smiled reluctantly, "Ten 56 have made fun of you."

"That's not brought by the queen mother. If the queen mother spared Lao Jiu, my younger brothers and sisters would not dare to laugh at me." Murong Yunnuo pretended to be depressed.

"Ninth Brother's temperament is not bad, he is still the same as a few years ago. He is really a child who has not grown up, so he is very likable." The fifth princess also accepted the words and smiled.

They all laughed happily.The Empress Dowager Chengyuan couldn't hold back her smile, "Forget it, Lao Jiu, you child, Aijia saw you so naughty when I was young, and you are still so naughty now, it seems that it will take you several years to grow a mature and stable look Come on, Aijia can wait and see."

Su Leyan watched Murong Yunnuo coaxing the queen mother so happy, she couldn't help but look at him twice, but she couldn't tell that Murong Yunnuo was such a filial person. When Dali came back, he treated the queen mother with great care. Although he was more childish, his thoughts were extremely true and beautiful.
