Chapter 274 Tit for Tat (Part [-])
Although the voice was in a joking tone, there was a bit of sarcasm in the bottom of the words, piercing the eardrums of everyone, making everyone startled, and turning their heads to look at the entrance.

Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows and followed suit.

Appearing at the entrance of the garden was the empress dressed in full attire, followed by the beautiful Jun Wan half a step behind, with her head bowed, her usual gentle appearance.

The person who spoke just now was the Queen of Zhao Kingdom Xue Ying who was staring closely at Song Qinghuan with slightly raised eyebrows.

Looking at that bright and sharp face, Song Qinghuan was dazed for a moment, the scenes of the previous life flashed before his eyes, and a mocking cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Speaking of which, in this life, the queen has indeed never seen her.

Although she had been to Lindu last time during the Sword Seizing Conference, the harem was not involved in politics. The Sword Seizing Conference was a matter between the four kingdoms, and the Queen had no right to intervene.

However, listening to her tone, she didn't like herself even before she met her.

Coincidentally, the debts of the previous life will be settled together in this life.

Seeing that they were the emperor and the empress, everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "See the emperor, and see the empress."

Emperor Zhao raised his hand, motioning for everyone to flatten, and walked to the front together with the queen and Jun Wan.

Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan got up together, and came down to welcome them, "I have seen the father and the empress." Song Qinghuan also nodded and saluted, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, with a sense of cold alienation.

Jun Wan also saluted Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan, her voice was timid, and she didn't have much sense of presence.

"You don't need to be too polite." Emperor Zhao waved his hand, and without looking at Jun Wan behind him, he sat down with the queen in the seat reserved above.

Jun Wan bit her lip, standing there a little awkwardly.

Song Qinghuan glanced at her and winked at Liuyue.Liuyue understood, and walked down to lead Jun Wan into a seat.Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan sat down beside the empress again.

Empress Shen Liang looked at Song Qinghuan's face for a long time, and said again, "It is said that seeing a hundred things is better than seeing it once. Empress Wuyang is really a beauty." As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Chuhan, and said with a smirk, " No wonder King Han is so precious, he even forgot the proper etiquette."

Song Qinghuan nodded slightly sideways, "The Empress is absurd." This was an answer to her previous sentence.

Looking at Emperor Zhao again, he smiled calmly, "Qing Huan was pregnant before, and the fetal image was unstable because of traveling all the way, so the prince was a little nervous. After all, the fetus in my womb is also related to the diplomatic relations between Zhaoyu and Zhaoyu. Entering the palace in time to pay respects to the royal father, if there is any impoliteness, please don't be offended by the royal father."

Her apology was only to Emperor Zhao, and she ignored the queen at all, which immediately made her lose face.However, Song Qinghuan once again emphasized his identity in his words, if the queen persisted, it would be Yuguo who would be slapped in the face.When it came to the level of diplomatic relations between the two countries, although the queen felt a lot of dissatisfaction, she did not dare to say more.

With a few words, the queen's mouth was tightly blocked.

After Song Qinghuan finished speaking, she only looked at Emperor Zhao with a slight smile, apologetically, and quietly waited for him to speak.

The queen said those words twice. Although it was in a joking tone, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was clearly taking the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction.

Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan didn't take him seriously, so Emperor Zhao naturally had some criticisms about this, but because of his identity, he couldn't say it clearly, so he was happy to watch the show if he could tell it through the mouth of the queen.Originally, he looked like he was staying out of the matter, but Song Qinghuan had already named him, so naturally he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore.

Twitching the corners of her mouth and smiling, "Of course, you've worked so hard all the way and you're pregnant, so it's important to keep your baby safe. I understand, and it's understandable." As she spoke, she lowered her eyes and cast a meaningful glance at the queen.

After receiving the warning from Emperor Zhao, the queen did not dare to say any more, she lowered her head resentfully, with a flash of resentment in her eyes.

"Where's Yijia? Take it here and show me." Emperor Zhao frowned slightly, and quickly relaxed it, smiling and talking about the little princess.

"Wenniang." Song Qinghuan looked at the wet nurse beside her.

The wet nurse understood, bowed her knees, and hugged the little Princess.

Emperor Zhao didn't like girls very much, but Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan's daughter had to pretend to like them even if they didn't.What's more, only giving birth to the little princess will not make him feel threatened, and because of this, the impression of the little princess is a bit better.

He stretched out his arms to hug the infant princess, shaking his arms slightly back and forth, "winking" and teasing her, with a look of joy.

Everyone in the field saw it, and they had different thoughts for a while.

For the courtiers, it was undoubtedly reaffirming Shen Chuhan's position in Emperor Zhao's heart, and thinking about how to stand in line in the future.

As for other people, such as Queen Jun Wan and her like, they feel even more uncomfortable.

The queen has no children, and the older she gets, the less likely she is to conceive.Although he doesn't show it on the outside, he still regrets it in his heart. Seeing Emperor Zhao's kindness and kindness, he feels sour and turns his eyes away in pain.

And Jun Wan, who had never been favored by Emperor Zhao since she was a child, saw him like this, and her emotions became more complicated. The ups and downs made her feel uncomfortable in her heart, she lowered her head, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was a little gray.

Shen Chuhan watched from the side with a calm expression, but there was a flash of alertness in his eyes.

"Yijia is so obedient." Seeing the little princess staring straight at him with big black eyes, neither crying nor fussing, Emperor Zhao couldn't help but look up to Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghua and praised him.

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, and echoed just right, "Yijia has a crush on Emperor Father."

"Okay, she is indeed my good granddaughter." Emperor Zhao laughed "haha" twice, then turned to look at Wang Xi who was beside him, "Wang Xi, I wrote it down for me, and when I return to the palace, I will give Yijia a gift in person. Choose your reward."

"Thank you, Father." Song Qinghuan nodded slightly.

Hearing this, the queen tightened her hands on her knees, raised her head, raised her eyebrows, tried to make herself look kinder, and said with a smile, "The concubines are watching from the side, and they think Yijia is very cute." " After a slight pause, "Your Majesty, can I let my concubines hug me too?"

Emperor Zhao was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect the queen to make such a request. After thinking about it, he looked at Song Qinghuan as if asking.

Song Qinghuan's eyes flickered with coldness, and he curled his lips lightly, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Compared to me, the prince is more precious to Yijia, the queen must be more careful, otherwise I am afraid that the prince will lose his manners in a moment of impatience."

These words returned the taunting words when Empress Cai came here just now.

She didn't want the queen to hug her daughter. It would be best if the queen could get angry and dispel her thoughts by saying these words. If she couldn't, she should remind the queen in advance, don't try to be a demon.

Anyway, with her status here, and the queen provoking first, since she is the enemy of the two lifetimes, naturally there is no good face for her.

Sure enough, when the queen heard this, her face turned dark immediately.

"Princess Han, what do you mean?" She asked sharply.

Song Qinghuan smiled lightly at Liu Guang, her demeanor undiminished, "literally."

Emperor Zhao was also taken aback by the tense relationship between the two, and temporarily handed the little princess to the wet nurse. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a movement from the entrance.

He frowned and looked around, only to see two familiar figures arriving late.

——It was Jun Che and Duan Wang's side concubine Xue Yuqing.

Jun Che's face was gloomy, and he hurriedly walked towards Emperor Zhao, followed by Xue Yuqing, who was panting and looked a little embarrassed.

The two of them stopped in front of Emperor Zhao, "I have seen my father and my mother."

Xue Yuqing also saluted.

Song Qinghuan's eyes moved slightly.

Jun Che is not the queen's son. At this time, after calling his mother, is he trying to let everyone know that he has formed an alliance with the queen?
Emperor Zhao frowned, "Che'er, why did you come here so late?"

Jun Che lowered his head angrily, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said in a deep voice, "The carriage broke down halfway, so I'm really sorry for being late."

Saying that, he raised his head to look at Shen Chuhan who was at the side, and nodded, "Third emperor brother, please don't take offense."

Shen Chuhan curled the corners of his lips coolly, and said in a cold tone, "It's my honor for Brother Sanhuang to come." He said, motioning for the maid to lead the two of them to their seats.

With such an interruption, the undercurrent between Empress Cai and Song Qinghuan was over.Emperor Zhao cleared his throat and looked at the crowd below, and said loudly, "Everyone is here today for Princess Yijia's full moon banquet. I will be an ordinary grandfather today and enjoy the family happiness. Dear friends, there is no need to be formal. .”

There was a voice of agreement from below.

Emperor Zhao looked at Wang Xi, who understood, took out a rosewood box and handed it over.Emperor Zhao opened it and took out a longevity lock made of warm jade.

"I heard that it is popular among the people to wear longevity locks. Come on, I ordered people to make this longevity lock specially for Yijia. I will wear it for her."

The nurse hurriedly carried the little princess to Emperor Zhao, who personally put the Changshou lock on her and looked at it with satisfaction for a moment.

Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan thanked each other aloud. Although the empress felt resentment in her heart, she still had to maintain a dignified and polite appearance under the eyes of everyone. She also ordered people to bring out the prepared full moon gift, which was a set of delicate clothes, bracelets and The accessories are exquisite and precious without losing her identity.

As for the others, they gave gifts to the housekeeper when they came, and at this moment they cupped their fists to congratulate for a long time.

Shen Chuhan got up, carried the little princess over, and showed his face to everyone, "Thank you all for coming to my little girl's full moon banquet in spite of your busy schedule. Please come back today with all your heart."

Saying that, he motioned to Shen Xing.

Shen Xing nodded, and beckoned the maids of Hou Li outside the garden to bring in all kinds of delicious food and wine. For a moment, the fragrance of wine was overflowing in the garden, and the fragrance of fine wine was wafting.

Now that the banquet had started, the garden became more and more noisy, Song Qinghuan was afraid of disturbing her daughter, so she signaled the wet nurse to carry her down to rest first.Although today's banquet is held in the name of the little princess, it obviously has a deeper meaning, and everyone knows it well, and it's okay to take a look at the little princess from a distance.

Now that Emperor Zhao had spoken, everyone became less restrained and gathered together in twos and threes to chat.

After all, Shen Chuhan is the master, and Emperor Zhao is here, so it's better not to be too indifferent, and gossip with Emperor Zhao in irrelevant gossip.The empress had just been humiliated by Song Qinghuan just now, and now she still looks a little gloomy, only occasionally saying a word, it can be seen that she is not in a good mood.

Jun Che looked at the lively conversation above, and felt a little itchy in his heart.

His seat was still a long distance away from where Emperor Zhao and Shen Chuhan were sitting, which was obviously done by Shen Chuhan on purpose.

Cursing secretly in my heart, I was quite upset.

He had been going out just now, halfway through the journey, the axle suddenly broke, and he was delayed for a long time to come, which already made the emperor a little unhappy, if he didn't go up to show his goodwill at this time, today's trip would be in vain.

Song Qinghuan glanced at Jun Che's face from the corner of his eye, taking a full view of his unwillingness, and a smile flashed across his mouth.

If she guessed correctly, Jun Che's carriage suddenly broke down, probably Shen Chuhan's handwriting, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?Could it be that the entire Duanwang Mansion is vegetarian?
While thinking about it, Jun Che stood up and walked towards this side.

Song Qinghuan's eyes moved slightly, and he also stood up, greeted Emperor Zhao and the others, offered his seat to Jun Che, and walked to the place where Jun Wan and Princess Duan were sitting.

Jun Wan's seat was arranged on the right side of Jun Che and Xue Yuqing. They were not familiar with each other before, but in this case, they were alone and close to each other, so they chatted naturally.

Song Qinghuan walked over with a smile on his lips, "What are you two talking about?"

The two looked up, and seeing Song Qinghuan standing in front of them, complex emotions flashed in their eyes.

"Sister-in-law Three Emperors."

"Princess Han."

After being stunned for a moment, the two quickly looked away and saluted.

Song Qinghuan returned the gift, nodded to Junwan first, then looked at Xue Yuqing, Lingche's eyes swept across her face, Qingyue said, "I didn't make it in time for the wedding of Prince Duan and Princess Wang, It's really a pity, and I ask Princess Duan not to take offense."

After finishing speaking, he looked at her with a smile, waiting for her reply.

Song Qinghuan didn't know much about this side concubine of Prince Duan, only Shen Chuhan said that she was the daughter of the side branch of the Xue family.They and Jun Che are destined to be enemies, so she has to get to know the woman next to Jun Che well.
