The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 145 Birthday Banquet

Yan Lang nodded, and realized in a moment that when Liu Yuchan went to Yan's house just now, there was no need to send the driver of the Liu family away. In this case, the driver of the Liu family would just pick her up after dinner.

How had she sent the coachman away then?
Was it unexpected, or did she actually want him to send her off?

Yan Lang didn't want to pretend to be sentimental, but at this moment, there was still a tinge of joy in his heart.

In fact, he also wanted to spend more time with Liu Yuchan.

Since Liu Yuchan is so sure, he should take her with him.

Yan Lang didn't want to waste time, so he called Wang Dazhuang and asked Wang Dazhuang to drive the carriage to send the three of them to the martial arts field.

Yan Lang and Qi Rongchu went together, so they naturally got tokens of the same color, and they didn't have to wait, they just competed when they went.

This time Yan Lang used a knife, while Qi Rongchu still used a sword.

Qi Rongchu revealed a little bit of his hidden strength, Yan Lang also used [-]% of his skills, and the two had a great time sparring.

This time it was Qi Rong's first victory.

At the end of the discussion, Yan Lang said with a smile: "Your sword skills are very powerful, who taught you?"

Qi Rongchu returned the sword with a downcast face. He stood there without speaking for a moment, but after putting the sword back into the sword stand, he turned around, glanced at Yan Lang, and said:

"I didn't have a regular master. I used to work a lot when I was young. My body was tougher than others. When I was a little older, I learned some boxing skills. Later, after my relatives passed away, I went to the new barracks and learned martial arts from many people. There were soldiers who were good at swordsmanship. There are soldiers who are good at swordsmanship, and there are some other soldiers. They don’t teach me openly. Sometimes they see me working hard, and they will take me to study for a while. Once you get some tricks, and after studying hard, you will have the current martial arts and swordsmanship."

In fact it's all fake.

Qi Rongchu studied under the famous Marquis Wu, he was a young genius, if Yan Yun was alive, the two of them would probably be equal.

Qi Rongchu still hid a part of his strength, he didn't go all out, but Yan Lang still lost, of course, Yan Lang didn't try his best either.

Yan Lang smiled and said: "It sounds like you are similar to me. Although I also have masters, the masters are not specific, and they don't teach me every day, but I am luckier than you. My masters are all my family members." , if I play naughty, they have to teach me even if they don’t.”

He cupped his hands at Qi Rongchu: "Let's compete next time."

He put down his hand and said, "Liu Yuchan is still waiting, let's go."

Qi Rongchu hummed, and the two left the competition venue.

Liu Yuchan went to the second floor to watch again, and when the contest between the two was over, she ran down, because this time Yan Lang came to compete, so she didn't go to the box, neither did Liu Yuchan, Yan Lang and Qi Rongchu were on the second floor The location of the stairs is waiting for Liu Yuchan.

After Liu Yuchan came down, Yan Lang asked, "Have you read it from beginning to end again?"

Liu Yuchan said, "It's over."

Yan Lang touched his nose: "I lost this time."

Liu Yuchan glanced at Qi Rongchu first, then looked at Yan Lang again, and comforted, "You will definitely win Prince Qi next time."

Yan Lang was not polite either, and said with a smile, "I'll lend you a good word."

The three of them walked outside the martial field while talking, Qi Rongchu was indifferent and rarely spoke, mostly Yan Lang and Liu Yuchan were talking.

Qi Rongchu glanced at Yan Lang, and felt that Yan Lang's cheerfulness was outrageous, different from the powerful Marquis Wu he knew.

In Qi Rongchu's impression, the powerful Marquis Wu he knew had always been calm and quiet. There were really few Marquis Wu who liked to laugh and talk like Yan Lang.

After the three of them got into the carriage, Yan Lang sent Qi Rongchu first, and then Liu Yuchan, why didn't he send Liu Yuchan first?Because he also wanted to get along with Liu Yuchan for a while.

The three of them sat in the carriage, and when they arrived at Prince Qi's mansion, Qi Rongchu said goodbye and left, and then Wang Dazhuang rushed to Liu's mansion.

Inside the carriage, Yan Lang and Liu Yuchan sat facing each other, while Guo Xin and Qiong Yue sat outside the carriage.

Liu Yuchan quietly took out a knitted fabric from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Yan Lang.

Yan Lang reached out to take it, and looked down, it was a little butterfly.

With a smile in Yan Lang's eyes, he asked, "Is it for me?"

Liu Yuchan nodded slightly: "I made this up myself."

Yan Lang said: "The craftsmanship is very good and very talented. You have only learned it for a few days. To be able to weave such a butterfly is already very powerful."

He gave her a thumbs up encouragingly.

Liu Yuchan felt a little embarrassed: "Only this one is still good-looking, and the others are not good. In the future, when I am good at knitting, I can weave others, and I will give you other ones."

Yan Lang smiled and nodded: "Okay."

He played with the woven butterfly for a while, then carefully put it in his sleeve pocket.

After arriving at Liu's Mansion, Yan Lang personally escorted Liu Yuchan off the carriage, and accompanied her to the gate of Liu's Mansion.

Liu Yuchan knocked on the door and went in, turned her head and said to Yan Lang, "It's late, you should go back quickly, see you at the academy tomorrow."

Yan Lang said, "See you tomorrow."

The gate of Liu Mansion closed, Yan Lang stood still for a while, then turned and left.

Yan Lang returned to Yan's house, washed up and went to sleep.

After Yan Ning returned to the palace, she sat with Liu Baoluo for a while, looked at the jade sword, and then returned to Xixiang Yuan, washed up and went to bed.

Waking up the next day, Yan Ning heard something that the Empress Dowager had entered the palace.

Yan Ning thought to herself, is it to prepare for His Majesty Qi's birthday?
Yan Ning asked: "Which palace does the Empress Dowager live in?"

Nian Die said: "Fengzi Palace."

Yan Ning raised her eyebrows, Fengzi Palace, that's the palace where Chen Yurong lives, it seems that the Empress Dowager entered the palace at this time, in addition to holding a birthday banquet for His Majesty Qi, it was also to give Chen Yurong a chance.

After what happened to Yang Qianyue, His Majesty Qi Guo did not punish her for grounding, but she stayed in Fengyue Palace by herself, which was similar to grounding.

During the Chinese New Year, Yang Qianyue went to Jinmei Pavilion to order a birthday gift for the king. She would never have imagined that she would be punished by the king to kneel down a few days before the king's birthday, and she would be ashamed to see others.

Therefore, at this birthday banquet, the person who should show off is Chen Yurong.

The imperial concubine is also a smart person. From the fact that His Majesty Qi Guo punished Yang Qianyue to kneel, she must have seen that Yang Qianyue is not that special to His Majesty Qi Guo, and His Majesty Qi Guo does not necessarily like Yang Qianyue very much, so she wants to Seize the moment and win grace for your niece.

It's just that His Majesty of the Qi Kingdom may not be paying attention, all women are just floating clouds in his eyes, and he is afraid that the Empress Dowager will be like Yang Qianyue, and the bamboo basket will be in vain.

Nian Die combed Yan Ning's hair and picked up the red jade hairpin. Yan Ning knew how to please the king. Since the king gave her this hairpin, she wore it every day. Nian Die picked up the hairpin Yan Ning glanced lightly at the moment.

She doesn't care if Yang Qianyue is not favored.

But Chen Yurong, she will never let her be favored by the king.

Chen Yurong still owed her ten sticks.

After paying back the ten sticks, she doesn't care what she wants.

Yan Ning suddenly stretched out her hand and snatched the red jade hairpin from Nian Die's hand. She slowly stroked it with her soft white fingers. After a while, the corners of her lips curled up, and she returned the red jade hairpin to Nian Die .

Nian Die asked: "Beauty, what's wrong with this hairpin?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking, if this hairpin is broken by Chen Yurong, will His Majesty be angry?"

Nian Die: "..."

Her heart skipped a beat, and she whispered: "Beauty, do you want to take back the ten sticks that Chen Guifei beat you at your majesty's birthday banquet?"

Yan Ning said: "Yang Qianyue's punishment gave the Chen family a chance, and of course it also gave me a chance. Without Yang Qianyue as a powerful ally, after Chen Yurong encountered something, no one would be able to excuse her.

Originally, Yang Qianyue was there, so I didn't dare to do anything to Chen Yurong. After all, at that time, I also felt that Yang Qianyue was very important to His Majesty Qi. , will also let Chen Yurong go.

No matter how hard I make things difficult for Chen Yurong, it's useless. That's why I haven't attacked Chen Yurong. To deal with Chen Yurong, you can't do it casually, and you can't be reckless.I have been waiting for an opportunity, and now, this opportunity has finally arrived. "

Nian Die understands, although Concubine Yang has not lost her power, she has only been punished once by His Majesty, naturally Concubine Yang will not make His Majesty angry again, she has not recovered her face, how can she have the mood to care about others As for the matter, if Chen Yurong was punished, she would not intercede, maybe she would feel her heart was balanced.

It would be a pity to miss such an opportunity.

but…

Nian Die said worriedly: "Although Concubine Yang will not intercede for Concubine Chen, there is still an Empress Dowager at the birthday banquet."

Yan Ning pursed her lips and smiled faintly, but said nothing. After a while, she said, "I have my own measure."
-
Five days later, the king's birthday banquet was held in Fengzi Palace, and many people came, which was more lively and grand than the previous New Year's banquet held in Fengyue Palace.

In addition to the concubines in the harem, there were also ministers at the court meeting, and the family members of the ministers did not come.

Although it was a birthday banquet for His Majesty Qi, the lord came very late. He didn't seem to be interested in any banquet. He didn't smile when he came, but he didn't show indifference either. Walked to the upper position and sat down.

The Empress Dowager sat on the side of his lower head.

After that, there are two rows of seats, one row of concubines in the harem, and one row of ministers in the court. There is a screen in the middle. Everyone can see clearly.

The concubines still sit in the order of noble concubine, concubine, beauty, and talent.

Yan Ning was sitting not far away.

Qi Hengyuan raised his gaze and glanced at Yan Ning, then he retracted his gaze and announced the opening of the meeting.

The imperial concubine took the lead, raised the wine glass, wished the king a happy birthday, and said a lot of words about longevity and success.

The ministers also raised their wine glasses, wishing the king a happy birthday, and praised him for his wise words, regaining the lost land, flattening Jianguo, and unifying the country.

Naturally, the concubines couldn't sit still, raised their wine glasses, and wished the king a happy birthday and a long life.

There is an unwritten custom in Qi State, that is, birthday banquets cannot be held at night, but only at noon, so His Majesty Qi's birthday banquet today is also held at noon.

The sun was very good today, and the outside of the house was bright. In order to seize the opportunity of Yang Qianyue being neglected and let Chen Yurong gain a good impression in front of the king, the imperial concubine held a flower viewing feast in the imperial garden.

After lunch, everyone took out the presents and presented them to the king. The king took them all and let the prince handle them. Afterwards, he went to the imperial garden with the empress dowager.

The flowers in the imperial garden are unbeatable in all seasons, no matter which season you look at, they are always thriving.

Concubines usually come to visit, but not as lively as today.

The ministers did not join in the excitement, and left after the luncheon.

However, during the luncheon, the family members of the ministers did not come, but after the luncheon was over, the ministers left, but the family members of the ministers came.

The wives led the ladies over, first to greet the empress dowager, and then to the king.

Qi Hengyuan looked at the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine said: "It's rare for His Majesty to have a birthday. The emperor's sister-in-law wants to make it lively. There are many concubines in the palace, but they are not lively enough. With these ladies and ladies, the flower viewing banquet will be more interesting."

She pulled the king aside and whispered, "If you don't like it, you don't have to show up. These ladies and ladies, the emperor's wife will handle it."

After hearing this, Qi Hengyuan turned around and was about to leave.

The imperial concubine held him back again: "However, today is your birthday, and it's not good for you to be away. You'd better stay here. If you think there are too many ladies and ladies, go to a place where there are few people."

She added: "Sister-in-law Huang is not drafting girls for you. Don't be angry with sister-in-law again. If you have a girl you like, you can bring it into the harem with you. If you don't like it, no one will force you. But today's banquet is organized by the emperor's wife, you can't just walk away and let the emperor's wife be laughed at."

Qi Hengyuan pursed his thin lips and said softly, "I won't leave."

The imperial concubine smiled, and let go of Qi Hengyuan's arm: "Your majesty, you can do whatever you want, and the emperor's sister-in-law will not accompany you."

Qi Hengyuan hummed, and took the prince and father away from the place where the wives and ladies gathered together.

He really wouldn't let the imperial concubine be laughed at, so he didn't leave, he just found an empty gazebo, sat there and drank tea, it was considered a half day's leisure.

Usually at this time, he is still processing the papers in the imperial study.

Because today is his birthday, the time in the early court has been shortened. It is not because he deliberately shortened it. The ministers are all fine, and they don’t mention the battle with Jiang Guo. Everyone doesn’t hand in the papers. Today he doesn’t even have papers. It has to be seen, it's a free day for nothing.

It was rare to be free, so Qi Hengyuan also relaxed himself, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery.

Not long after, a person appeared in sight.

Qi Hengyuan frowned slightly, and gave Wang Gonggong a wink, and Wang Gonggong immediately went to send that person away.

However, when he walked over quickly and saw the appearance of the person coming, the prince was in a dilemma again.

The prince first greeted him: "Concubine Yang." Then he asked, "Concubine Yang is here to see Your Majesty?"

　Thanks to Yifenghe, Yunyun, and Bianhuakai for the rewards.

　　thank you very much.

　　It is true that Qi Hengyuan grew up with Yang Qianyue when he was a child. This kind of friendship is very deep, just like us, our playmates since we were young, we have played with each other until we grow up. Little things are accumulated, and it is impossible to turn against each other all at once, so Yang Qianyue's position in Qi Hengyuan's heart is also falling down little by little. For the plot, just write that the two of them broke up, and you will feel empty and bewildered.

　　In the next chapter, His Majesty will mercilessly pierce the self-righteousness in Yang Qianyue's heart.

　　Hey, see you in the next chapter.

　　Or ask for a monthly ticket~
　　It seems that if you can't rush to the top of the list, this book is not far from death, so I am not far from death, crying...
