Crying for the prince and having his mind read, I am the most favored harem!

Chapter 193 Provocation
As soon as Emperor Kang Yuan finished speaking, some people who could no longer hold back began to take action. Everyone was curious about this method.

buffet?
It was very interesting to hear it, and many people had already stood up from their seats and moved to the long tables around them.

The long table is surrounded by a huge rectangle, enclosing the entire venue, so there is no need to worry about being crowded when picking up food.

Some people still maintained their identity and did not move, but their eyes were on those who were walking around, and the envy in their eyes was self-evident.

Qin Yiyi, Yao Qin and Liu Ruyi were also among the first people to get up. They had the best relationship with Lin Qingran, and of course they would stand by her side and express their opinions on her ideas.

The cooperation of these three people was naturally expected by Lin Qingran, as well as Lin Yu, Mu Feng and Mu Qiutang, for the same reason.

However, Yin Yu was also inside, which surprised her, as was Yin Qiang, the minister of household affairs who had just spoken for her. He was Yin Yu's father.

Recalling that Yin Yu spoke for her last time at the royal hunting ground, Lin Qingran had a very good impression of this woman.

After seeing everyone else taking action, Fu Lingling and her sister followed suit.

Seeing more and more people joining in, the Queen Mother naturally couldn't hold herself any longer. She could only look at Lin Qingran with a smile, but the disgust in her eyes was quite concealed.

"I didn't expect the Crown Princess to have such an idea. It's really novel. This time the Ai family is also a little interested." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Princess Jin'an also concealed the displeasure on her face, "Yes, I really didn't expect that the Crown Princess's idea was so interesting, and the Imperial Aunt also wanted to try it."

"Princess Jin'an is right, you should go and take a look." Princess Huaibei winked at Lin Qingran, then got up and followed.

The Queen Mother's face was very ugly, but she suppressed it. Today's things are not over yet. She is still prepared. Anyway, she has to make Xiao Heng and Lin Qingran unhappy. Counting the time, they should be here.

At this moment, a person walked in from the door. This person was dressed in brocade clothes and walked slowly to the middle of the square with some high spirits.

Seeing this person walking in, Lin Qingran and Xiao Heng's eyes froze slightly at the same time.

"It's an auspicious birthday for the Queen Mother. I was delayed at the palace gate for a while and came a little late. I hope you can forgive me." Shen Zhuo paused and saluted the emperor and his party.

The Queen Mother's face was originally very ugly, but after seeing the visitor and hearing the visitor's words, she actually smiled, which surprised everyone.

"It's good to be here. The Ai family is very happy to see you coming. Please sit down quickly. The Ai family has specially reserved a place for you." The Queen Mother said bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was very surprised. After all, they had never heard of any relationship between Master Shen Zhuo and the Queen Mother in the Duke Shen's residence, so that the Queen Mother valued him so much and gave him such dignity.

Being able to say such words, it is not difficult to see Shen Zhuo's position in the Queen Mother's heart, and the late arrival still makes the Queen Mother happy.

There was no reaction on Xiao Heng's face. He was still sitting in his seat, but his eyes were dark, and he was obviously thinking about the relationship between Shen Zhuo and the Queen Mother.

Lin Qingran's face was still heavy. She thought about it for a while, but still couldn't find the situation of Shen Zhuo in the original plot. It seemed that it was just mentioned in one stroke, so it didn't even make a big impression on her.

It is clear that there is a big difference between the original plot and the current plot, but the characters are still the same, but I don't know what is going on with Shen Zhuo.

Shen Zhuo glanced at Lin Qingran calmly, and then smiled, "Thank you, Queen Mother." It was obvious that the Queen Mother, who was not very happy at first, was very happy because of Shen Zhuo's arrival, and did not care about Lin Qing Ran prepared some sort of buffet and asked the palace maid to prepare some dishes for her.

The banquet naturally included opera and singing and dancing, so Lin Qingran also had people prepare for it.

After three performances of singing and dancing, it was time to pay birthdays to the Queen Mother.

Emperor Kang Yuan and Empress Qi took the lead, as well as the prince and the prince all paid their birthday wishes to the Queen Mother. They thought it would be over after all the prayers were done, but Shen Zhuo also stood up.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother not only did not stop her, she was very happy, even happier than Emperor Kang Yuan himself, which was very surprising.

When Shen Zhuo respectfully wished her birthday, the Queen Mother also laughed and expressed her appreciation.

"Okay, okay, sit down and have something to eat quickly. You haven't eaten much since you entered the palace. The Ai family is worried that your body won't be able to bear it." The queen mother expressed concern again.

After hearing this, many people felt that there seemed to be a relationship between the Queen Mother and Shen Zhuo, but no matter how they looked at it, there was no possibility of a relationship.

Lin Qingran's expression became more solemn, and she could see that the Queen Mother was very affectionate to Shen Zhuo.

[It’s really strange. Shen Zhuo is the grandson of Duke Shen. If you don’t know, you might think he is the grandson of the Queen Mother. But Shen Zhuo doesn't look like a prince, otherwise the Queen Mother wouldn't love her so much. It seems that the Queen Mother has never loved Shen Zhuo so much before? 】

[What is going on? Why do I feel that I have overlooked something? I didn’t seem to notice any difference when I was getting along with Shen Zhuo in the early years. 】

[The Queen Mother's attitude today is completely undisguised, she just tells everyone clearly that she loves Shen Zhuo very much, to an extent that is definitely more than that of Mu Feng. From this point of view, the Queen Mother's attitude itself seems very abnormal. 】

[The only thing I can't figure out is the identity of Shen Zhuo. What relationship can Duke Shen have with the Queen Mother? Is it possible that the Queen Mother liked Shen Guogong very much back then, so she also loved Shen Zhuo very much? 】

Thinking of this, Lin Qingran folded her arms and shook, startled by her own thoughts.

Xiao Heng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He wanted to ask Lin Qingran where did she get these wild ideas?

The banquet was still going on, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet became very lively. Everyone was walking around and drinking freely. Emperor Kangyuan was also drinking with several senior ministers, and they were obviously in a good mood.

Lin Qingran chatted with several friends, and of course some ladies and ladies would come to toast her from time to time.

However, Lin Qingran was worried that her poor drinking capacity would cause trouble for Xiao Heng, so she drank tea with them instead of wine, but she was not drunk at all.

At this moment, Shen Zhuo also came over with a wine glass.

"I haven't seen the Crown Princess for many years. When we met recently, the Crown Princess became a lot stranger. I would like to dedicate this glass to the Crown Princess." Shen Zhuo raised his wine glass.

Lin Qingran picked up the tea on the table, "I can't bear to drink, so I substituted tea for wine and had a drink with Mr. Shen."

After having a drink, Shen Zhuo did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Lin Qingran steadily, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Heng with a hint of provocation.

"Can the Crown Princess please move over? There are some things I want to talk to the Crown Princess alone."
