Men's Petite Wife: Lord, Madam ran away again

Chapter 511 Performance
The queen's birthday is half a month away.

The palace was well manned, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and everything was properly prepared.

All ministers of sufficient rank brought their families to the palace for banquets.

Perhaps it was because the recent events of the Zhao family were too shocking and had an impact on the government to a certain extent. Therefore, on the day of the queen's birthday banquet, the ministers and their family members who came to the banquet were very shocked. Extraordinarily harmonious and polite, whitewashing peace.

For the banquet of the mother of a country, the emperor will naturally be present in person. The crown prince born to the queen and the remaining legitimate sons also sit around the queen, and further down, there are the princes and daughters born to other concubines.

Because she wanted to take this opportunity to choose a son-in-law for Princess Qingcheng, so Princess Qingcheng sat beside the queen. Although they were not their biological mother and daughter, the queen and Princess Qingcheng seemed to be their own mother and daughter, chatting and laughing , the queen and the prince teased Princess Qingcheng's son from time to time, as if they were in harmony with each other.

After everyone said some festive words one by one, and presented birthday gifts to the queen, the theme of choosing a son-in-law began.

The birthday party instantly became a stage for a group of flower peacocks to express themselves.

From the relatives of the concubines in the harem, even some princes with different surnames left in the palace, down to officials of all ranks, as long as they are not married or have no wife, and the age is suitable, they are all mentioned in advance. Put on a show.

However, the most competitive ones were Wei Donglin, the eldest son of King Liang with a different surname, Ruan Wenteng, the young master of the Changle Hou family, and Zhao Anrong, who had just changed from a concubine to a legitimate son of the Zhao family.

As for Ji Zhaozhang, although he has a bright future and is backed by the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion, he has just come to the capital after all, and his foundation is still shallow, so few people regard him as a seed player.

Only members of the Ji family and Xie family knew that, apart from celebrating the queen's birthday, this banquet was nothing more than a cover for Ji Zhaozhang and Princess Qingcheng.

No matter how good other people are, no matter how well they perform, it will be nothing but nothing.

But even so, the flower peacocks started their performance happily.

Wei Donglin is a burly Northwest man, his face needs to be well-groomed, so that he can barely be regarded as a little above average.The content of his performance, in a simple summary, is to play a few powerful and smooth movements, show off his strong tendons, and by the way, set off a firework at the end, and then say congratulations to the empress on her birthday Xi Le... fixed her eyes on what Princess Qingcheng said.

Part of the reason why Princess Qingcheng was particularly loved by the emperor was because she was born very beautiful since she was a child.As a parent, who doesn't like their children to be good-looking, right?Therefore, even though Princess Qingcheng is almost 20 years old and has given birth to a child, she still looks very beautiful.

Wei Donglin looked straight at him like this, Princess Qingcheng was no stranger to her before she got married or when she escaped from the Huns.

But Wei Donglin's gaze was too direct, which reminded Princess Qingcheng of how the rude and vulgar Huns looked like hungry wolves when they saw her appearance after marrying in the barren lands like the Huns. look.

Although Princess Qingcheng originally only intended to achieve good things with Ji Zhaozhang, she had the right to treat other people's favors as a fun and see, but who would have thought that this Wei Donglin reminded her of all the things she had in the Xiongnu, For a while, Princess Qingcheng didn't even want to do the superficial trick of smiling.

The delicate and beautiful wine instantly cooled down. Princess Qingcheng picked up the jug, handed it to the queen, and said in a waned way: "Queen, please try this sweet-scented osmanthus wine. I think it tastes very good."

The queen also knew the result of today's performance, but she was a little curious. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with Wei Donglin's performance. Why did he provoke these fourteen girls?
The queen remained calm, smiled and drank some wine that Princess Qingcheng poured for herself, and then said to Wei Donglin: "Wei Shizi has worked hard, please sit down."

Wei Donglin didn't know the inside story, and thought that his performance was remarkable, so he stopped the queen's words, returned to his seat, and then secretly competed with the next few people.

Both the Xie family and the Ji family already knew that Ji Zhaozhang was the default candidate, but they were also a little curious about Princess Qingcheng's obvious displeasure.Ji Wanyi raised her glass and raised her eyebrows at Ji Zhaozhang who was sitting not far away: What's wrong with future sister-in-law?
Ji Zhaozhang shook his head dotingly and smiled: How would I know?
Then, Ji Zhaozhang couldn't help looking in the direction of Princess Qingcheng.

It seemed that there was a tacit understanding, and Princess Qingcheng also happened to look at him.

Princess Qingcheng glared at him coquettishly.

Ji Zhaozhang tried his best to keep a blank face, so as not to let other people see the difference between the two of them.

There was no response, which made Princess Qingcheng feel a little bit scratchy, her eyes were glued to Ji Zhaozhang, and she didn't want to move away.

The queen saw everything in her eyes. After all, she was in charge of the overall situation, and she couldn't let Princess Qingcheng make such a fuss, so she whispered: "There is another Master Ji who just came to you, you girl, be more honest."

"Queen! You're making fun of my son again!" Princess Qingcheng looked like a shy little woman who had been told the truth.But in fact, how could a person who had been in a place like the Xiongnu for several years be shy because of such a sentence?

All of this is just what Princess Qingcheng deliberately showed to the queen.

"Okay, okay, stop teasing you, hurry up, there are Ruan Wenteng and Zhao Anrong, cheer up, don't let people see that you are not interested in them, you are only interested in Ji Zhaozhang."

Princess Qingcheng sat down obediently.

As his name suggests, Ruan Wenteng is full of Ziwen's temperament. Compared with Wei Donglin, he wants to express his thoughts more directly.

Wei Donglin said auspicious words in the name of celebrating the queen's birthday, but his eyes were fixed on Princess Qingcheng, while Ruan Wenteng was smiling from beginning to end, and at the end he said bluntly that the poem was written for Princess Qingcheng.

However, Princess Qingcheng lost her interest because of Wei Donglin in front of her. Although her complexion was a little better than before, she still didn't show much smile.

When it was Zhao Anrong, everyone including Ji's family, Xie's family and Ji Zhaozhang couldn't help but feel a lot of interest.

What level will this newly promoted son of the Zhao family be?
