Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 125 The Qionghua Banquet: Princess Zhaohui (1)
She didn't feel it even if she didn't say it. When the people below heard this, they suddenly realized that their queen didn't seem to have changed at all.It doesn't look like a 40-year-old at all, more like a 20-year-old young woman.

The queen changed the topic with a smile, "Didn't you like to attend this kind of banquet in the past, why did you come this year?"

King Lanling said: "Isn't this your fortieth birthday? I came here without leaving everything behind."

The queen smiled and said, "Well, it seems that I have a lot of face."

King Lanling smiled, and suddenly realized that he hadn't saluted the empress, so he made a gesture to kneel down.

"My minister sees the emperor, sees the empress."

"Yes." The queen interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "I don't know your character yet? Don't give me all that red tape, I'm bored. Now." She pointed to the second vacant seat on the lower right, "Seat It's all ready for you, take a seat."

King Lanling raised his eyebrows, "Then I won't be polite." She was originally a princess outside the Great Wall, she never disdained these etiquettes, and she and the queen were close friends in her boudoir, now that the queen asked, she naturally readily agreed.

Walking to his seat, he found that there was still an empty seat on the first seat opposite, and said, "Hey, where's your precious son? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Will he be absent again?"

As soon as she finished speaking, an elegant and low-pitched male voice came from the sky.

"I haven't seen you for many years, Aunt Lan's charm has not diminished at all."

The familiar voice made Ling Xihan's heart jump, and his eyes flashed complicatedly.

brush - brush - brush -

Everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound, and they were amazed once again.

I saw two men, one white and one black, walking towards each other. The one on the left was wearing a white brocade suit with a silver fine pattern bottom, and a large magnolia pattern was faintly visible on the white coat.A white ribbon tied more than half of her jet-black hair high behind her head, and the narrow and long phoenix eyes under the bright moon's long eyebrows were like deep ancient Tan, too thick to melt away.It is also like the spring breeze blowing gently, slowly the waves of light flow, lazy and charming, evil and coquettish.

The one on the right is dressed in a black brocade suit embroidered with ink lotus patterns, her eyebrows are like ink paintings, and her eyes are like lacquer. Occasionally, there will be thousands of colored glazes flowing in it, making people easily sink into the glazed world.He exuded a dignified and elegant temperament all over his body, and his indifferent face couldn't conceal the coldness in his eyes.

As soon as these two people walked in, nine out of ten women in the arena had flushed cheeks and affectionate eyes. They all covered their faces with brocade handkerchiefs, but their eyes were secretly aimed at the two dignified and godlike men.

Seeing this scene, the queen smiled and said: "Just now I was thinking that all flowers are gone in autumn, only this imperial garden is full of fragrance. But I don't know what happened. This year, the flowers in the imperial garden are all in bud. It's a fly in the ointment. The two of you came by coincidence, and look at these beautiful flowers blooming without wind as soon as they see you. This is called spring, colorful, and this is the credit of the two of you."

The Queen's words meant something, and those shy women blushed even more when they heard this, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at those two dazzling men anymore.

The two walked over side by side, and were slightly surprised to see the Queen's dress.Then Xiao Tingxuan said with a smile: "The imperial garden is picturesque, but with the empress here, even if a hundred flowers are blooming, it is overshadowed." His phoenix eyes seemed to have accidentally glanced at Ling Xihan who was beside the queen, his eyes were calm.

The queen was taken aback when she heard his words, and then said to Emperor Yuan Qing beside her, "Look, this kid's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter after going out." Then she turned to the two standing in the middle, "Okay, since you're here, you don't need to be so polite. Everyone is here, and there are only two of you left. Take your seat quickly."

"Yes." The two sat down one by one, their brows swept away like the wind, and their expressions were calm.

King Lanling glanced at Ouyang Chen, then at Xiao Tingxuan, and said to the queen with a smile: "This boy looks exactly like his father."

After hearing this, the queen felt very uncomfortable. She clearly gave birth to her son, but he was more like his father.Then he glared at Emperor Yuan Qing again.Emperor Yuan Qing really felt aggrieved today, since the moment King Lanling came in, his wife had glared at him several times, thinking about it, he was really aggrieved.As a result, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he shot straight at the smiling King Lanling.

King Lanling was still talking about himself, when he suddenly felt the cold gaze of Emperor Yuan Qing, he shuddered suddenly, and quickly glanced over.With this glance, he saw Ling Xihan beside the queen, his eyes lit up.

"Who is this little girl? Why haven't I seen it before?"

The queen gave Ling Xihan a tender look, "She is Yunshang's daughter, my niece, Ling Xihan."

King Lanling's eyes widened, "Is she the princess of Changle?"

Ling Xihan stood up and saluted Lanling King Fushen without being humble or overbearing.

"Changle has met King Lanling."

King Lanling squinted his eyes and looked at Ling Xihan for a long time, and said: "I heard many rumors about this girl when I came back this way, and I didn't really believe it at first, but now that I saw it with my own eyes, it is a bit better than the outside praise. She said with a smile on her eyebrows, "I didn't expect that after ten years, this girl has become more and more outstanding. Compared with her mother, she is even worse."

The words of King Lanling reminded Ling Xihan that King Lanling was there for the queen's 30th birthday ten years ago.No wonder she felt familiar when she saw King Lanling for the first time. It turned out that she had met him once when she was a child, so she was naturally familiar with him.

"I've heard for a long time that the prince is a hero among girls, but seeing him now, he is really heroic. Changle admires him very much."

"Heh! You're really clever." King Lanling praised without hesitation, Ling Xihan smiled lightly, and sat down again.From the beginning to the end, he never glanced at Xiao Tingxuan, as if the two of them were just strangers they had never met.

After the polite words are over, it's time to get to the topic.

The queen's phoenix eyes glanced at everyone present, and said: "Okay, everyone is here now, let's start."

At this time, Princess Zhaohui, who was sitting next to Pingyang Hou, said, "Sister-in-law, every Qionghua Banquet is the same, it is very boring, how about adding some new tricks this year?"

The queen glanced at her with warm eyes.

"Then tell me, what new tricks do you want to add?" When the queen faced Princess Zhaohui, her attitude was obviously much colder.

Zhaohui smiled indifferently, his eyes glanced over Ling Xihan intentionally or unintentionally, and contempt and anger flashed in his eyes.

"The emperor's sister-in-law was only crowned in Beijing back then. The princess of Changle has been close to the emperor's wife since she was a child. Naturally, she has been deeply influenced by the emperor's wife. She must be both talented and beautiful." She rolled her eyes and said with a smile on her face: "Why don't we invite the princess to start and perform some song and dance lyrics, so as to make an opening remark, wouldn't it add more charm?"

Ling Xihan snorted coldly in his heart, what opening remarks, do you think she is a singer or a dancer?Is this Princess Zhaohui out of her mind?Anyone who understands can see that the queen loves her, and deliberately embarrass her in front of the queen, how many heads does she have?Besides, leaving aside the relationship with the queen, she is still the Princess of the Zhongyi Palace.Isn't she afraid of offending her father when she said this?
