Yan Yuan hurried back to the post house before Mingruo and Si Haochen entered the palace for the banquet. Although he was tired and dusty, he was in good spirits.
"Did your affairs go smoothly?" Mingruo poured a cup of tea for Cheap Dad.
"Not bad, thanks to the old man's intervention. Otherwise, I'm afraid the news would have been leaked." Yan Yuan took a sip of the tea poured by his daughter, then took out the small green snake from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the table.
"Pfft." The name Lao Tie is a bit joyful. However, what's the matter with the snake body, which is as thick as a little finger, with a big bulge in the middle? "Is this a baby?"
"No, I fed it bird eggs in the morning." Yan Yuan had never raised a snake before, so he didn't know what to feed it. Chongming said that snakes seemed to eat bird eggs.
"Old man, if you swallow it whole, you may suffer from indigestion. We recommend that you break it open and eat it." Mingruo instantly transformed into an X Bao customer service.
The little green snake also felt full in its belly and blinked its beady eyes: "If you knock it open, the egg liquid will stick to it..."
"Tsk, you are still a mysophobic snake." Mingruo shrugged.
The little green snake coiled up to cover its funny big belly. It was because its owner had mysophobia, which made Lao Tie feel bitter, but he didn't say anything.
"Do you want to enter the palace with us?" Mingruo asked.
"Yes." Yan Yuan nodded, "Dad has not been in the capital for many years, so it is necessary to get familiar with the personnel in the court."
"Okay, let's meet at the door later." Mingruo had to go back to change clothes and put on makeup. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her poor neck, and regretted not bringing a few pairs of lightweight hair and face.
This Yunzhuang Building must be opened quickly.
‘Emperor Wen’ held the reception banquet very grandly, and the princes and princesses who stayed in the capital, the royal family members, dignitaries of the third rank and above in the court and their families were all invited.#@$&
As soon as Mingruo sat down in his seat, he felt a bunch of malicious eyes shooting towards him. Mingruo raised his eyes and met the sinister eyes of the fourth princess.
"Um..." She threw herself into the snake and didn't even care. Which shot did she take?
Linglong, who was squatting on Mingruo's shoulders, rubbed her thin legs: Well, the Lun family led snakes, insects, rats and ants to capture the princess's mansion the day before yesterday... It seems that the movement was a bit big...
Yan Zhaobai: It’s none of my business that the courtesan in the brothel took away the soul of the consort. It was the staff who lent some money to the consort to redeem the courtesan’s body.
Si Haochen: No one can live in the princess's mansion anymore. The fourth princess fled to another courtyard. The bag of snakes thrown into the other courtyard came from No. 15 and has nothing to do with me.%&(&
The fourth princess became even more angry when she saw Ming Ruo's innocent look. She didn't believe it. The chaos in her house these past two days had nothing to do with Xiao Jiu. (Ming Ruo pointed at her: It really wasn't me.
(Sa.)
Lao Tie finally defeated the bird's egg and heard Linglong showing off his great achievements to Young Master Bai. This was something related to their snake world, so he had to get involved!
When the luncheon was about to begin, Empress Bian and Emperor Wen entered the main hall together. Empress Bian's eyes were covered with dark blue, and even though she was covered with thick makeup, it still couldn't be covered.
The emperor and the empress sat down at the table, and all the officials kowtowed. Emperor Wen ordered a banquet to be held. The maids brought fruits and dishes one after another.
Queen Bian was sitting at the banquet, staring blankly at the bowl in front of her. In fact, the person who colluded with Yan Cang in the harem was Queen Bian. She was jealous of Concubine Su, who was still Concubine Qing at the time, and was even more afraid that the emperor would depose her.
Hou Zhongli. According to Yan Cang's plan, he instigated the eighth princess's mother and concubine to poison Concubine Qing...
Things were going very smoothly. What she didn't expect was that Yan Cang's purpose was not to make Yan Yuan lose his love. Instead, he wanted to take the throne and replace him. Empress Bian was a little scared when she found out that the emperor had changed someone. But she thought
She can be regarded as holding Yan Cang's hand. As long as she controls the harem and prevents a new heir from being born, and Yan Cang has no heirs, she can blackmail Yan Cang into making Qing'er the crown prince.
For so many years, even though Emperor Wen had recruited a large number of people into the harem, nothing had come of it. Qing'er was also very ambitious and could be considered outstanding among the princes. Seeing that everything was developing in a natural direction, Qing'er suffered from the dark side.
The assassination of the Wei leader.
Queen Bian has been thinking about how to expose Yan Cang's true face for the past two days. After thinking about it, she realized that even if she told the emperor that he was a fake, no one would believe her. She would even be locked up as a madman... What exactly did she do?
What should I do to protect Qing'er and myself?
If Ming Ruo enjoys her meal here, the fourth princess can just stare at her if she wants. She can't control her eyes.
The Eighth Prince stood up, holding the wine glass, and raised it towards Mingruo's table: "Thanks to Prince Youyun and Jiuhuangmei for taking care of me that day, I would like to offer you a drink to Prince Yun."
"The Eighth Prince is very polite." Si Haochen was also very considerate and picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
The Eighth Prince toasted to Yan Zhaobai and Yan Zhaokai again. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. No matter who the mastermind behind the scenes is, there is nothing wrong with him being close to the people who were 'victimized'.
The eighth prince sat down, and the fourth princess also picked up a wine glass and wanted to propose a toast to Mingruo. She knew that Xiaojiu had a very poor drinking capacity and would drink a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine without distinction. Therefore, Xiaojiu rarely attended palace banquets.
Even if you participate, you will not drink alcohol.
In the past, she had never taken this invisible imperial sister seriously. Anyway, Xiaoba alone could torture her to death, so there was no need for her to take action.
Now that Xiaoba is not here, she, as the imperial sister married to Jing Yuan, has a glass of wine. It would be too disrespectful for her not to drink.
"Ah..." As soon as the fourth princess stood up, she was knocked down by a 'roof beam'. She threw herself on the high table in front of her and sank to the ground. In panic, she grabbed the tablecloth to use her strength and cupped the cup.
The plates and bowls were overturned, and the food and soup were all over the place. It was a very embarrassing situation.
The prince-in-law sitting next to her turned pale with fright and trembled back: "Snake... such a big snake..."
Princess Baozhu was so frightened that she screamed and immediately jumped into the arms of the nanny: "Nanny... the snake is chasing me again..."
The little princess was also frightened to death in the past two days. First, a lot of snakes entered the princess palace, and her mother took her to live in a separate courtyard. Then at night, snakes came again. She originally wanted to let her mother take her to live in the palace.
In a few days, there must be no more snakes. I never thought that the snake would come after me again, and it was still such a big one.
The tables adjacent to the fourth princess also quickly stood up to avoid it. The maids and maids also wanted to step forward to help the fourth princess, but the snake seemed to be stunned, and its body was pressing on the waist of the fourth princess. No one dared to step on it.
Go.
'Emperor Wen' looked at the three-meter-long golden python and his face was livid. Such a chaotic scene unexpectedly appeared at the Jie Feng Banquet. Wouldn't his face have been thrown into Donghuan!
"Come here, take this long worm out of the palace!" 'Emperor Wen' gave the order, and the Imperial Forest Army entered the palace and dragged the golden python.
The Qintian Supervisor was seeing the rage of 'Emperor Wen' Long Yan, so he had no choice but to stand up and salute: "Your Majesty, the golden snake falling from the sky is a sign of good fortune..."
