She and I had no intention of chatting, so we had to go back to Liu Huaian and Lian Renqing.
They both walked leisurely towards the Jinluan Hall where hundreds of officials were being entertained.
During this period, Liu Huai'an deliberately approached me and teased me in a low voice: "I didn't expect your brother-in-law to look skinny and skinny. I didn't expect you to move as fast as a rabbit. You have three babies in four years. Most people would really envy you."
I glanced at him and said back unceremoniously: "It's not like that person. He is a romantic by nature and doesn't know how to control himself. He doesn't know if he can have another child."
For the first time, Liu Huai'an didn't suffer from epilepsy like me. Maybe it was because Jin Luan Palace had trouble with epilepsy? Or maybe it's because of Ling Hui's lewdness and fear of me?
I couldn't figure out why he wanted to get close to me, so I simply didn't think about it because all the officials were here. They were lined up neatly, wearing red official uniforms, sitting there like Russian matryoshka dolls arranged neatly on the merchandise shelves.
I didn't dare to be presumptuous in the Jinluan Palace, so I sat quietly next to Liu Huaian.
My father, Grand Tutor Fan Zi, and my aunt Song E sat across from each other.
Without any suspense, she saw me wearing gold, silver, silk and satin, compared to Fan Fengchu who wore coarse cotton clothes and jingpin hairpins. The only bright spot was the agate bracelet on her wrist. It was when she came out of the palace, Song E The dowry given to her.
This only made me feel more jealous.
At this time, my father shouted to me from afar and praised me: "I'll be relieved if you can reconcile with the Prime Minister and become a father."
The melon-eaters next to me looked at me with a sudden realization. I was the jealous woman who had the audacity to cuckold Prime Minister Liu, which was rumored in the capital a while ago.
Everyone looked at me and understood each other tacitly, but some were secretly jealous of Liu Huai'an. He had such a lovely wife at home, but he was not satisfied enough to go out and hook up with an oiran?
This kind of person can't wait to take all the beautiful women in the world as his own. He typically eats from the bowl and looks at the pot, which is simply an embarrassment to men like them who care about their families and dote on their wives.
But complaints are complaints, who dares to point his nose in the face of the powerful prime minister and scold him for being ignorant?
Just when everyone had their own secrets, Ling Fei came.
He was wearing a black gilded crown and an imperial crown on his head. He had a majestic figure and came with natural domineering power.
The thick eyebrows that slanted into the temples were lined with pearls, a pair of phoenix eyes were calm and intimidating, the nose was straight and the lips were red, and the outline of the cheeks was resolute and handsome. After only three seconds of appearance, all the civil and military officials in the audience held their breath and did not dare to be presumptuous. .
I saw him walking slowly with his head held high and elegant, surrounded by all the palace maids and eunuchs.
In a daze, I thought it was Ling Fei who invited me to dinner at the restaurant last time, but his temperament was very different. I thought I had mistaken the person.
Liu Huai'an saw me staring at Ling Fei's face, and without saying a word, he quietly threw the veil I had tucked into my arms on the ground, and then signaled: "You have dropped the veil."
When I came back to my senses, I saw the veil falling on the ground. I thought, how could it fall off if it was so good?
I didn't pick it up, but glanced back and forth at Liu Huaian's face with inquiring eyes.
Liu Huai'an was worried that I would say something unobtrusive, so he picked it up and gave it to me: "Look at you. It's okay to be careless at home. Now that you're out, you have to be more careful and set an example for the court ladies below."
I expressionlessly pulled the veil over and stuffed it into my sleeve.
At this time, all the civil and military officials stood up and saluted Ling Hui. I also stood up and saluted. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that there were eyes staring at me from behind Qizhu.
I resisted the numbness of my scalp and bowed and sat next to Liu Huai'an. At this time, the princes and princesses took turns to appear. In the crowd, I finally saw the man from the restaurant.
When Liu Huai'an saw me staring at other men again, the displeasure in his eyes almost burst out, and he gritted his teeth in a low voice: "I brought you here to make myself look good, not to seduce men!"
There was a figure in the crowd who stood out in particular. His figure and appearance were 80% similar to Ling Hui's, but his temperament was completely different. He was also wearing the clothes of a prince.
If Ling Hui is said to be ice that will never melt for thousands of years, it would teach people not to enter. And the one in front of me is the spring water in March, which makes people relaxed, comfortable and at ease.
Perhaps my eyes were too calm, but the other person came back to his senses and blinked at me to show familiarity.
Liu Huai'an was going crazy. Under his nose, I dared to flirt with other men. I was so tired of living!
As a result, when he saw Ling Ze, he was instantly stunned and thought, shouldn't I know Ling Ze?
His suspicious eyes glanced back and forth between the two of us. I showed my cards to him and whispered, "This is the wild man who was rumored in the capital before."
Liu Huaian was completely dumbfounded.
Apparently Ling Ze also heard what I said, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he didn't mind at all.
The man on the dragon throne didn't think so. Although he couldn't hear clearly what we were talking about, the subtle aura exuded by the three of us was quite intriguing.
Doesn't he understand that I am determined to make peace with Liu Huaian? Why did you end up with Ling Ze again?
Just when we were all having our own secrets, the father-in-law beside Ling Hui raised his voice and shouted: "General Xuan Tantai enters the palace!"
After his voice was heard, it was heard three or five times inside and outside the palace. It was about ten minutes before I saw this man.
Many people held their breath and stretched their necks to look at the high-spirited young man wearing armor in front of them. He entered the palace with his head held high, filled with wind, frost and blood.
In addition to him, he was followed by two lieutenants who came to the main hall and saluted respectfully: "Long live my emperor!"
Ling Hui raised his palms and said loudly: "My dear generals, please rise."
After a while of greetings, Ling Hui conferred the title of Marquis of Dingbei on Tantai Yu, awarded him the seal of purple gold animal pattern, and sent him to guard the border all year round to protect the safety of the people.
Such an honor can be said to be unique since the beginning of the dynasty, especially for someone of his age. And Tantai Yu seems to be only a young man. This time he not only received an official promotion, but also rewarded the three armies, which is already a great gift for a military officer.
After the conferment was completed, Tantaiyu and his two lieutenants took their seats, leaning against Ling Hui. This time he was the protagonist, and even the lieutenants had to give way and line up behind him.
His popularity is unparalleled and makes others envious.
At this time, the eunuch pinched his throat and said loudly: "The ceremony is completed, let's play the music."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of orioles and swallows came out from the backstage and started dancing to add to the fun. The guzheng and flute from the musical instrument class took turns to play.
From the beginning to the end, I was confused by these complicated etiquettes. I had to do so many stunts just to have a meal. What’s more, I was fished out before dawn. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any water or rice in the middle. By the time they were done, I was so hungry that my chest was touching my back.
Liu Huai'an saw that I was listless and pushed the fruits in front of me towards me: "If Madam is hungry, you can eat something to fill your stomach first."
I didn't want to be polite to him either. Everyone in the court was chatting with each other, and I was the only one enjoying my meal. Who cares? Let’s talk after you’re full.
As a result, I finished an orange and a banana, but I still wasn't hungry. So when no one was around, I picked up some melon seeds and started eating them.
As we continued to smoke, the scene gradually became quiet.
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared straight at me.
Looking at the dumbfounded eyes, I put the melon seeds back with great knowledge, and pretended to drink tea and pretend not to know.
Song E and Fan Fengchu were both secretly waiting for a good show.
Ling Fei's voice came from above the head: "I have remembered since I was a child that Zhi Zhi, a little girl, is a glutton. I didn't expect that after so many years, she has become a married woman and her temper has not changed."
I was wondering what would happen to me if I ate melon seeds? Is there any need to take me out and criticize me alone? It’s really invisible killing!
Who would have thought that my father, the Grand Tutor, would join in with a smile: "Zhi Zhi has always been a child at heart, your Majesty does not need to be as knowledgeable as her."
When I heard them talking about me, I put down the tea and sat aside respectfully, letting them talk.
Liu Huai'an came out to protect me: "It's not my fault, sir. I was in a hurry to go out in the morning. Not only did I not have breakfast, I also forgot to prepare some snacks on the way."
When Ling Fei heard this, I was starving, so that's okay!
He quickly waved his hand and drove the maids away, and ordered the chef to serve the food immediately!
