Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 255 Confused
The time for the banquet is coming soon, and many princes and ladies of the royal family gathered inside and outside the Yongchang Palace, all of whom were lucky enough to be able to attend this banquet, and chatted together in twos and threes.

Xiao Ziyi adopted her cocktail party-like layout for the waiting hall, where male and female guests are guided separately, and there is a long table on each side, which is filled with appetizing preserved fruits and fruit platters for everyone to take at will. use.During the period, there were court ladies and eunuchs shuttled through the crowd with trays containing wine or drinks respectively.There is also a group of bands sitting in a corner playing beautiful music, which looks like an ancient high society gathering.

Although in Xiao Ziyi's eyes, it would be a bit nondescript, but for these guests who are used to ordinary banquets, it is a brand new experience.

"It's better than I imagined!" Tan Yueli pinned his folding fan on his waist, took two glasses of fruit wine from the hand of the maid who just passed by with both hands, and did not forget to send a glance to the beautiful court lady in his spare time.

Xiao Ziyi watched the court lady blushing and ran away with cold eyes, and said with a light smile, "That's right, I have already said that the effect will be good. Young people always like new things. As for those veterans, I will let them enter." Let’s go to the inner hall to drink tea and chat.”

"The format of this cocktail party must be very popular in Lanweifang." Tan Yueli couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"Don't think about it, I'll sell it directly to Lanweifang." Xiao Ziyi gave him a sideways glance, did this man think she would give him a cheap price for nothing? "The price is a year's worth of snacks for kindergarten."

"One year! The princess really knows how to bargain." Tan Yueli handed a wine glass in front of Xiao Ziyi, shook it slightly to seduce her: "Princess, drink some wine, it's delicious!"

Xiao Ziyi stared intently at the swaying liquid in the glass cup, took it without hesitation and drank it in big gulps.She is in dire need of alcohol anesthesia now.This banquet has caused so many situations for her, who knows if there will be any troublesome things to happen next!Especially when she saw Xia Houling talking intimately with a woman not far away, Xiao Ziyi's head hurt even more.This woman changed into a man's clothes to chase her lover?Still want to come out to pick up girls?

And after she saw that the person Xia Houling was talking to was actually Feng Wanqing, she could only drink more depressedly.This Xia Houling has been away from the capital for so long, she must not know that Feng Wanqing's "famous" is outside... Don't accidentally give this woman the "enriched" wine, it will be more fun.

"Hey! Princess! Are you okay? Why don't you just drink? What if you get drunk?" Tan Yueli didn't expect this little princess to drink without hesitation.Well, he can't be held responsible if something goes wrong!

Xiao Ziyi stuffed him with the empty glass, then snatched the untouched wine glass from his other hand, and said indifferently: "It's okay, just one or two glasses will not make you drunk." Wine that is similar to fruit juice is also called wine?It's ridiculous.

Tan Yueli smiled wryly, so he had no choice but to exchange the empty cup for the passing maid, and then took another cup for himself.

Xiao Ziyi subconsciously searched for a certain figure, hoping that he might come back sooner, so even if she didn't ask him for help, seeing his figure would feel more at ease.

But she didn't see Nangong Sheng's figure, but she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the back of Zhuo Ran wearing a Taoist robe, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.It was as fast as if she was dazzled.

"What's the matter? What did you see?" Tan Yueli followed her gaze, only seeing a group of official ladies whom he still knew were chatting together, there was nothing strange about it.

Xiao Ziyi rubbed her eyes vigorously, and asked thoughtfully: "Did we invite Taoist priests or non-local scholars to this banquet? Why did I see a Taoist priest walking over?"

"Of course not! Oh, but a Taoist priest with great cultivation came to the queen mother a few days ago, and it is possible that the queen mother asked him to come over to see the situation." Tan Yueli slightly picked up the wine glass and moistened his lips, full of face of doubt.Even if this is the case, it is not in line with the Queen Mother's behavior. Normally, a maid will be sent to look at it, right? "Do you want me to ask the guards at the gate of the palace? See if there is such a thing?"

"No need, maybe I'm dazzled." Xiao Ziyi raised the wine glass and wanted to drink, but Tan Yueli skillfully tapped the acupuncture points on her wrist, and instantly replaced the wine glass with his hand.

"Stop drinking, it looks like you're not in a good mood, you must not have had enough sleep last night. Still drinking? I'll get you some juice." Tan Yueli sighed.

Xiao Ziyi shook her head, she was worried about one thing after another, and she didn't know which one to solve first.Especially when she saw Xiao Jingyang coming in with the emperor, Xiao Ziyi felt her head was in a mess like being stepped on by an elephant.

Pushed in front of the emperor by Tan Yueli in a daze, Xiao Ziyi didn't know what she said with a smile, but judging from everyone's appearance, she didn't say anything inappropriate.

That's right, she has said these few words in her mind several times, how could she be wrong?

Xiao Ziyi was on the other side of the emperor, fortunately she couldn't see Xiao Jingyang's face, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.

While her mind was wandering, she felt something slippery and greasy was stuffed into the palm of her hand, and just when she was about to scream out in shock, she heard a drake's voice lowered her voice and said, "Miss Huang, this is the one I sneaked from the dining room. Take out the snacks, eat and see."

The emperor naturally heard Xiao Ce's words, and just bent his lips, laughing at his childishness.

But what Xiao Ziyi looked down to see was the Bingliang Xia made by Nangong Sheng. I don't know how Xiao Ce stole it, she obviously put it in the cabinet.

I don't know if it was because of Xiao Ce's concern, or because he thought of Nangong Sheng when he saw this snack, anyway, Xiao Ziyi felt warm in his heart.She raised her hand and quietly put this drop-shaped snack into her mouth, a faint mint aroma dissipated between her lips and teeth, making her suddenly enlightened.

It doesn't matter if all the problems are in front of her, she doesn't need to solve them one by one right away.Now what she has to face is a great stage to show her kindergarten children, and she can't let this opportunity be ruined out of thin air.

"Ziyi! When does this show start? Let the children finish the show earlier, and let them come out to eat earlier!" The emperor didn't wear a dragon robe today, but was dressed in purple casual clothes, which made him look much more easy-going.

Xiao Ziyi smiled slightly, led everyone to sit at the banquet that had been prepared earlier, and confidently said to the emperor: "Father, you have to take a good look at it later!"
