Zhong Liangdi was stunned there, ashamed and annoyed, but what could she do? She only blamed herself for not knowing how to restrain herself.
"Miss, the Queen is here." The maid Qiao'er came over and spoke in a low voice, and then loudly tried to dissuade her, "My Lady is pregnant, and the Queen did not even bother to greet her and give her a gift. How can the Crown Princess ask the lady to slap her?
"
When Zhong Liangdi heard that the queen was coming, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she spoke aggrievedly and helplessly.
"The Crown Princess is the master of the East Palace. She wants to punish me, but I have no choice but to obey her orders." As she spoke, Zhong Liangdi gritted her teeth and slapped herself on the mouth.
Qiaoer hurriedly stepped forward to hold her, "Young lady is pregnant, how can you slap her? I'll go and beg the Crown Princess to spare you."
"If the Crown Princess is willing to spare me, she won't punish me. It's not like she doesn't know that I'm pregnant." Zhong Liangdi slapped her again and cried while spanking her, "It's me who offended the prince."
Concubine, I deserve a beating."
Pa~pa~pa~ I slapped him three or four times in succession, until the corners of my mouth started to bleed.
"Stop." The queen stopped her loudly from behind, and hurried over with the support of Aunt Zhao.
Hearing the Queen's voice, Zhong Liangdi hurriedly turned around and curtsied, "I have seen the Queen before." Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, looking weak and helpless.
"Why did you offend the Crown Princess? Punish you so severely?" Empress Zhou handed Zhong Liangdi a handkerchief with a sullen look on her face.
She was already at odds with the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess dared to punish someone she valued. Wasn't it tantamount to going against her? It made her even more angry.
Zhong Liangdi burst into tears and said: "I said the wrong thing, it's my fault~"
"Such a heavy punishment for saying the wrong thing? Haha~~ It's so majestic." The queen sneered and looked at Zhong Liangdi, "What's the use of crying? Protecting the emperor's eldest grandson in her belly is the business. Go and follow me.
Go to Deyi Hall."
"Yes, the Empress." Zhong Liangdi responded respectfully, feeling secretly proud that she got the Empress' support with a few slaps, so it was not in vain.
Behind the Queen and her entourage, a group of guests including the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Su's Mansion also arrived. The master strode in front, and the gorgeous ladies and ladies followed behind, chatting and laughing quietly.
"This palace banquet is more interesting than the last family banquet at Prince Ye's Mansion." Princess Su said in a low voice with her lips raised, "The Empress has designated a talent for dancing. Can Princess Ye know how to dance?"
Princess Jingjun replied, "She grew up in the countryside, how could she be able to dance? It seems that we are not the only ones who want to see Princess Ye's jokes~~'
The other ladies and ladies also spoke to me one by one.
"Isn't Princess Ye destined to make a fool of herself tonight? Dancing is not as good as playing the piano, and it cannot be accomplished overnight."
"Yes, if you don't practice hard, your posture will be stiff. Even if you learn some moves, you won't be able to perform on the stage."
"His Royal Highness the Night King will definitely help her shirk it. If she is really allowed to go on stage, she will be embarrassed."
"I would like to see what excuse His Highness the Night King can use to evade her. Maybe no excuse will work for the Queen. It's really exciting."
After everyone discussed for a while, Mrs. Zhou smiled and spoke.
"I heard that the Queen will rank one, two or three, and there will be many rewards. If you can get this reward, it will be a great honor."
Princess Jingjun flattered Mrs. Zhou and said, "The first place must be our Leng Hui. Her dancing skills are famously excellent."
Zhou Lenghui was delighted when she heard these words. At this time, Murong Jiao said quietly from behind, "I heard that the Crown Princess's dancing skills are amazing. Even the best dancer in the Western Regions would be inferior to her."
Zhou Lenghui said sourly, "Really? Then I'll have to compete with her."
Seeing that her daughter was quarreling with others again, Mrs. Murong hurriedly pulled Murong Jiao's sleeves twice, and Murong Jiao shut up. The palace, Deyi Hall, and the Nuan Pavilion, which could accommodate four to five hundred people, had already been arranged in an orderly manner.
There is a large square stage in the middle of the male guest area and the female guest area. Presumably, every palace banquet will arrange talent shows for the ladies of the palace. After all, the princes select their concubines through this kind of palace banquet.
Ji Xun took Shen Yue's hand into the Nuan Pavilion and then separated. Ji Xun and King Xuan went to the men's area, while Shen Yue and Princess Leyang came to the women's area.
The main seat is at the top, with long tables on both sides. The tables are filled with fresh fruits and snacks. It is freezing and snowy outside, but it is as warm as spring inside the thermal pavilion.
After entering the Nuan Pavilion, everyone took off their cloaks one after another, and the servants took them to the hangers in a specific area and hung them up.
When Shen Yuyu and Princess Leyang arrived, Prince Rui, Princess Rui and the princess had already arrived. After everyone said hello, they took their seats one by one.
Shen Yuyu and Xia Luoluo, the Crown Princess and the Princess of the Night, sat next to each other.
Xia Luoluo sat on top of Shen Yuyu. After sitting down, he turned his head and looked at Shen Yuyu with a calm smile.
"This is the first time I'm so close to Princess Ye. When I get closer, I can see that Princess Ye is a bit beautiful."
This sentence originally contained sarcasm, "Looking closer, she is somewhat beautiful", which means that she had not noticed how beautiful she was before.
With a smile on her face, Shen Yue looked back at Xia Luoluo and replied calmly: "Yes, I think the same is true for the Crown Princess."
This answer was also clever. She clearly didn't say anything, but it seemed like she had said everything. The same was true for the Crown Princess, who looked a bit beautiful when she got closer. It wasn't rude, but she fought back.
Ha~~ With sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, Xia Luoluo snorted inwardly.
But so what? Your man is torturing this princess every night in Zhaoshu Palace, trying to have a son with me!
Pfft~~What nonsense Princess Ye, you are a big joke!
Regardless of tonight's dancing skills or the future with the Night King, it will be a joke.
I was feeling proud in my heart, when suddenly a strange fragrance came into my nose, and my eyebrows suddenly moved.
This fragrance is only found on her body. No, only people who have had close contact with her will be infected. I followed the scent and looked around. The greenhouse was quite chaotic at the moment. There were only ladies and no one in sight. It was strange. Okay, where does this fragrance come from?
She hurriedly looked towards the men's area, and saw the Night King sitting opposite, and his eyes happened to be looking this way, but she clearly felt that there was only one person in his eyes, and that was the Night King next to her.
The Night Princess also smiled coquettishly, waved her hand towards the Night King, and looked at her as if no one was watching.
Charlotte was almost crazy with jealousy. Where had his tenderness towards her in bed gone? It was so hateful!
Xia Luoluo clenched her fists fiercely and recalled the strange fragrance she had just smelled. She dared to conclude that this strange fragrance could only be found on the body of 'His Royal Highness the Night King' who was lingering with her every night, but the Night King was clearly sitting there. On the opposite side, how to explain this?
Xia Luoluo's heart was in a mess, and she had a vague feeling of something bad.
