The ministers also noticed that something was not right about Ying Zheng's face. They all hunched their necks and watched the singing and dancing performances in the palace. They did not dare to whisper to each other, let alone move their chopsticks!
"Gulu..."
However, Wang Ben's stomach was so hungry that he screamed unsatisfactorily.
Fortunately, the singing and dancing were so loud that no one noticed him, so it wouldn't be embarrassing!
"Where has the prince been? Why haven't you returned yet?"
He moved his body towards Zhang Han and asked quietly when Ying Zheng wasn't paying attention.
"How did I know this? The prince is not my son-in-law!"
Zhang Han rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.
He still holds a grudge in his heart!
This old guy teamed up with several other people to cheat him out of ten thousand gold, and even caused him to be beaten so violently that he only lasted a few days!
"When you are a minister, you can be really petty!"
Seeing his appearance, Wang Ben naturally knew what he was doing, and then moved to the other side and asked Meng Yi.
"Do you know where the prince has gone? If the prince doesn't come back, His Majesty doesn't seem to be in a very happy mood!"
"Who knows, it's almost Xu time, why doesn't the prince show up yet?"
Meng Yi was also cautious and said while staring at Ying Zheng.
As long as Ying Zheng's eyes fall on their side, he is guaranteed to sit up straight and shut his mouth as soon as possible!
"Today is the queen's birthday. The prince should have come to the banquet early. Could something have happened?"
Wang Ben guessed.
"Oh! Stop making random guesses. Your Majesty will definitely be the first to know if something happens in the palace. How can he sit here peacefully?"
"That's right. Maybe something went wrong in the business under your control!"
"Business? No way?"
After hearing this, Meng Yi immediately turned his head and looked at him in horror.
You know, they have invested in many of the prince's businesses. If there is a problem with the business, it means that their economy will be damaged. It's a wonder that he can't be nervous!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived...!"
Just as the two of them were guessing, an announcement from the palace came from outside Huayang Palace.
To all the ministers, this was nothing less than the sound of nature.
"call……"
After heaving a long sigh of relief, the ministers suddenly put on relaxed expressions.
Immediately afterwards, Ying Feiyu walked to the main hall with short legs and saluted Ying Zheng, "My son, I have met my father!"
"Where did you go, kid? Why are you here now?"
Ying Zheng asked with a sullen face.
But all the ministers could see that although there was no smile on His Majesty's face at this time, it was definitely different from just now.
"What's wrong now? Isn't it not the time of Xu? Your minister came just in time!"
Ying Feiyu put his little hands behind his back and showed an innocent smile.
"Hmph! I'll settle the score with you later!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, looked at Jing Fu beside him, and ordered him to give the order to start the banquet.
Huayang Hall is divided into two halls, front and back.
If there is such a time when all the ministers and ladies are invited, Ying Zheng and the ministers will be in the front, and the queen and the ladies and ladies will be behind.
The sounds from the main hall in front spread to the back hall, and the female relatives could hear them clearly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived?"
"Well, His Majesty has ordered the banquet to begin, so it must be here by now!"
"My old man should be able to breathe a sigh of relief now!"
"Not just your old man, I think all the ministers can breathe a sigh of relief!"
…
Two ladies in gorgeous clothes and gold hairpins were sitting at the back. After hearing the movement in the main hall in front of them, they whispered quietly.
After a while, all kinds of dishes were put on the table, and Lian'er also raised her wine glass to pay tribute to all the ladies present!
"The Queen is so beautiful today!"
Wang Wan often walked around the palace and met Lian'er a few times, but she found that today's queen was exceptionally good-looking.
Absolutely stunning!
Even a little girl like her can't take her eyes away, let alone other people!
"Yes, the Queen is getting more and more beautiful. I wonder if you have any secrets of beauty care? Can you teach us?"
"No! The queen's skin can be broken by blows, just like an egg that has been peeled off the shell. Why do we suffer so much from the ravages of time? When winter comes, our face becomes dry and red!"
"It's just a minor thing to be red. It's mainly about wrinkles and yellowing of the face. I hate it when I look at it...!"
The ladies had noticed it as soon as Lian'er entered the table, but no one had spoken, and the awkward atmosphere in the hall in front made them even more afraid to ask.
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and the atmosphere in front has returned to normal. With the little girl Wan'er speaking, they all started asking questions.
A woman! No matter what era we are in, we all love beauty!
The only things we sat together and chatted about, apart from their parents' petty issues, were all about skin care and beauty, clothing materials, gold hairpins and silver jewelry!
"I don't have any secrets about skin care. It's just that Feiyu gave me a makeup box a few days ago. There are more types of rouge and gouache in it. Other than that, there is nothing special about it!"
Lian'er smiled slightly.
"Makeup case? What is that?"
All the ladies present were stunned.
In this era, this is definitely a new word, they have never heard of it.
But as long as it is researched by His Royal Highness, it is definitely a good thing!
All the ladies showed envy in their eyes.
"I wonder if we can be lucky enough to take a look at it and learn more about it?"
Mrs. Zhang Han smiled naively, frowned, and asked shamelessly.
Although she is not beautiful, she still has a heart for beauty and is also very interested in things that can make herself beautiful!
"Of course you can!"
Lian'er nodded generously and ordered the maid next to her to get it.
The ladies watched the palace maid leave the Huayang Palace, and waited expectantly for the palace maid to return.
Fortunately, the palace maid didn't delay on the way and came back as soon as possible, otherwise all these women would have their eyes popped out!
"Wow! What a beautiful box!"
Seeing the cosmetic case filled with gems, all the ladies present suddenly exclaimed.
Even Wang Wan, who doesn't like gold and jade, finds this box very stunning.
The palace maid opened the box and showed the items inside to the ladies, who were even more stunned.
They are all the wives of important officials in the court, and their lives at home are very comfortable, but they have never seen so many kinds of rouge and gouache.
If they could have one, they would be willing to spend even half of their family fortune!
It's a pity that they have never heard of any cosmetic cases for sale on the market. They probably have them specially made for the queen by the prince!
After feeling addicted for a while, he withdrew his gaze angrily!
There is no way, who could have prevented me from giving birth to a talented son!
Think about your own children, who are idle all day long, can't read well, can't practice martial arts, and can't do anything except eating, drinking and having fun!
no! You must tidy up well when you get home!
That night, there was a burst of howling ghosts, howls, and scoldings in the homes of the rich and powerful in the city!
