Chapter 305 Palace Banquet ([-])

Lu Liu couldn't answer these words.

Jiang Yue naturally wouldn't explain her doubts, Hongxue shrugged boredly, passed by Jiang Yue, and walked inside.

When their master and servant walked in, the banquet was about to begin.Hongxue ordered Luliu to go in with her, and the others stood where they were before going in.After all, the battle is too big and too eye-catching.The banquet was held on this island in the middle of the lake. Apart from the manor and the lily forest, there was also a palace of nearly a thousand square meters.

The surroundings of the hall are covered with curtains in summer. Once the curtains are removed, the cool wind blowing from the lake will be much cooler even in the hottest summer season.

Under the guidance of the palace maid, Hongxue walked to her own seat and sat down. Because of her status, next to her was the crown prince's side concubine, Xu Shi. When the crown prince was gone, she had the tendency to replace the crown prince.

Beside the queen, sat several concubines, among them was Sun Yerong, the new nobleman of the Sun family.

As Shan Yumao's concubine mother, she looked at Hongxue with hatred in her eyes, but when Hongxue met her gaze, she just smiled frankly.

Beside the two of them, there are a few unknown little princesses, they are very young, and they are so in awe of the queen and Wang Defei that they dare not even look directly at them. From Hongxue entering the palace to now, those little princesses, She didn't even raise her head, which shows how domineering the queen is in the palace.

I don't know if it's a real illness or a fake one, but the queen's spirit is very sluggish, she has no strength at all, she sits there with her forehead on one hand, trying to brace herself to deal with the people who came to pay her respects.

In addition to these young girls, several wives of first-rank officials also came, among them was Jiang Zaian's current wife, Mrs. Zhang.

It stands to reason that she is not eligible to participate. I don't know who has won the favor, so that she can sit there in a decent dress.

Looking at the male guests in the seat, except for the prince and Shan Yucheng, almost everyone came.

It's obviously a blind date, but if you go on a blind date, go on a blind date, why do you ask yourself to come?

Everyone took their seats, and the eunuch in charge walked up to the queen's ear and whispered something to her.

The queen sat up straight, waved her hands to everyone and said: "I am not feeling well today, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please don't be offended, order people to serve wine and food!"

The eunuch got the order, hurried to the door, and told the maid to go.

Jiang Yue said with concern in her eyes: "The queen is not feeling well, why not go to the back and rest for a while first."

The queen didn't know if it was really unwell, she had to rest, or there was another reason, but she nodded in agreement, and said apologetically, "That's fine, then I'm being rude, and I'll leave it to Concubine De to preside over it." He watched the queen stand up, and helped her slowly walk towards the apse.

Once the empress left, the restraints in the hall were reduced a bit. Everyone felt much more at ease, especially those ladies and princesses from aristocratic families. The empress sat there like a Buddha, and they didn't even dare to laugh.

Sun Yerong brushed off the hem of her skirt, sat up straight, walked towards Hongxue as soon as she opened her mouth, and said politely: "Recently, I heard that Princess Cheng came back safely after being in danger. Concubine Cheng must have fun, otherwise the empress will blame us!"

Her words successfully pushed Hongxue to the top.

The heights are unbearably cold, and the summit is not so easy to stay.Look at the eyes looking at her all around, as if she has become the public enemy of all women.

Hongxue smiled silently, the empress tried her best to get her here, and urged so many people to come, is she planning to increase hatred for her?

When everyone was in place, she slipped away.

This is to get rid of the relationship, so as to prevent the crown prince from being involved in what happens later.

If she deliberately stepped back behind the scenes to manipulate everything, then Sun Yerong would be the scapegoat.

It was supposed to be hosted by the empress, but now she is doing it for her, and she is the cheap boss. No wonder she is not proud!

Sun Yerong spoke by name, but Hongxue couldn't get a response. She was clearly slapping her in the face and making her look ugly!
At this time, the eunuchs and maids had already filed in with food plates in their hands, and put the delicacies in their hands on the tables in front of everyone.

With the cover of the eunuchs and maids, for a while, the palace became lively.

Girls in twos and threes whispered to each other, giggling secretly, they seemed to be laughing at something.

With a hot face and a cold butt, those who didn't know thought that the empress dowager was sitting below!

On Sun Yerong's beautiful face, there was a hint of sternness, and she quietly winked at Shan Yumao.

"The empress has worked so hard, Princess Cheng must also remember it in her heart. Princess Cheng came from the countryside, and she must not be very proficient in court etiquette. It is inevitable that gossip will spread and damage Princess Cheng's reputation. I will trouble you to show it to Princess Xiang. Now, how should I salute and thank the concubine De, don't make people think that Princess Cheng is stupid."

Concubine Wang De smiled dignifiedly and said: "If Princess Cheng wants to thank, she should also thank Empress Empress. You don't have to thank me, I can't afford it!" She increased the volume of the last three words, the meaning of which is clearly revealed .

Sun Yerong stood up gracefully, took a few steps forward, and smiled slightly at Concubine Wang De, her voice was like an oriole out of the valley, "Thank you, Concubine De, for enjoying the banquet!"

Hongxue still didn't move, just staring at the plate in front of her, the best beef, the freshest freshwater fish, they all smelled delicious.

Sun Guiren and Shan Yumao talked lively, but whoever thought it was, they didn't intend to pay attention to it at all, and they made it sound like they were talking to themselves.

The laughter in the hall could not be hidden, some young ladies who hid behind laughed out loud because they could not be seen by others.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the crown prince and side concubine hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Today we are all here to enjoy the flowers at the invitation of the empress empress and the concubine de concubine. Don't lose your interest because of irrelevant things. I brought along the dancers from the mansion to help you enjoy yourself!"

Concubine Wang De looked at Hongxue with resentment, then smiled slightly, and praised: "It's still Concubine Xu who is sensible and courteous. I have also heard that the dancers in the Prince's Mansion are extraordinary. I just saw them today. Let them come in!"

The crown prince and concubine clapped their hands outside the hall, and the music of silk and bamboo instruments echoed.Then a gust of fragrant wind blew into the hall, and a group of women in light dancing clothes flew into the hall lightly.

Anyway, Hongxue couldn't see what was so good about their dancing, but she saw the Seventh Prince Shan Yuluo who was on the opposite side, looking very seriously, staring at her without blinking.

Hongxue was about to look away, but Shan Yuluo had already raised his glass and made a gesture of invitation to her from the air.

Jiang Yue's eyes were fixed on the Seventh Prince Shan Yuluo all the time, and her seat was specially arranged next to Shan Yuluo in order to get closer to him.

She clearly knew that the Seventh Prince was not favored, did not compete for favor, had no influence, and lived a peaceful life.But she just likes Tang Yan's face, and she was fascinated by her only once at the heaven sacrifice ceremony, and she will never forget it in her life.
