Chapter 182 : Choose a Family Banquet, Empress Dowager Ma!
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was chatting happily. Just when they were about to finally get to the point, a loud song rang out under the night sky.
"The Queen Mother has arrived"
For a moment, it seemed that the bonfire in the center was frozen.
Everyone knows that the relationship between the Queen Mother Ma and the eldest princess, brother and sister, appears to be harmonious and a shared family relationship, but in reality the two political parties are at odds with each other, which can be said to be incompatible.
When I arrived at this time, it was obvious that the person who came was not good.
"Why didn't you invite the Ai family to Princess Chaoge's husband selection banquet?"
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.xdw8
Slow tone, a touch of coldness.
Soon, a graceful and elegant old woman walked quickly into the banquet, surrounded by a group of servants. She walked with nine phoenixes on her head and was wearing a jade robe with the moon wolf totem. She looked extremely noble and majestic.
.
A ruthless character!
"Meet the Queen Mother!"
All the relatives and ministers of the Northern Yi stood up and kowtowed.
"My grandson has met the imperial grandmother." Little Beiyi King stood up respectfully to greet her, his round eyes trembling.
This Empress Dowager Ma is not the biological grandmother of the eldest princess and her two siblings, she is equivalent to the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, and is not the biological mother of the previous King of Beiyi. Just because she respects her legitimate mother, the Ma family relies on the support of the Qian Shuo Xiang Japanese clan behind her to firmly hold the position.
Holding the position of Queen Mother.
Murong Chaoge also greeted him with a smile, "Grandma."
Queen Mother Ma flicked her phoenix sleeves, raised her head high, and stepped straight onto the throne.
King Xiao Beiyi retreated tremblingly and gave up his position.
When Ling Xiyue saw this, her eyebrows raised slightly, and the corner of her mouth curled up into something that looked like a smile but not a smile.
Murong Chaoge frowned tightly.
But no matter how dissatisfied I was, I couldn't break up with her here.
There were courtiers below who tried to dissuade Yu Li from being inappropriate, but were restrained by the people around him.
It's not the first time. Every time, the king is young and needs her personal assistance.
"Come on, N'er, come to grandma." After Queen Mother Ma sat down, she patted the remaining corner of the throne and called the young King Beiyi to come and sit.
Little Beiyi King secretly glanced at his sister and saw Murong Chaoge nodded lightly. He respectfully replied "yes" and sat down next to Queen Mother Ma with a smile.
"In the past two days, the Ai family invited Prince Tantai several times, but they were all rejected by the prince. The Ai family had no choice but to come uninvited." Empress Dowager Ma stroked the shoulder of the young Beiyi King, looked at Tantai Yunlang with a smile, and lowered her head.
The low voice is slightly hoarse.
Tantai Yunlang was stunned, "There is such a thing." He was surprised and scolded, "These slaves are getting more and more sloppy in their duties. I didn't know that the Queen Mother invited me several times. When I go down, I will definitely treat them well."
These slaves."
This was a far-fetched excuse for anyone to hear. The smile on Queen Mother Ma's face showed slight interference.
Ling Xiyue suppressed a smile and pursed her lips into a straight line.
This ability to tell lies with open eyes is truly a masterpiece...
Mu Xi and Ying Yi, who were guarding Ling Xiyue, looked at each other.
It seems that the overt and covert struggle between the eldest princess and Queen Mother Ma's family has reached a fever pitch, and any trigger may lead to a fight.
"The noble envoys from Tianlin and Long Xiang have come from afar. The Ai family has been feeling a little unwell these past few days and has not had time to entertain them. Please don't be offended." These words were neither humble nor overbearing, but also generous and courteous.
But logically speaking, she shouldn't entertain him.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Lin Yi responded with a polite smile.
Zhao Cheng, the messenger of Long Xiang, handed over his hand, "I have heard about the Queen Mother's grace for a long time, and today I saw Feng Yan, who is actually more majestic and dazzling than the rumors said."
"Expensive envoys are overly praised." Even so, Empress Dowager Ma's face broke out into a smile, and she felt very grateful for these words.
Which woman in this world doesn't want to be young and beautiful forever, even the lofty Queen Mother is no exception.
Murong Chaoge's eyes turned slightly with a smile on her face, "Royal Grandmother, the wind is strong at night and your body has not recovered yet. Be careful not to catch the wind and cold again. It's better to have someone take you back. I will treat you well."
.”
She stretched out her hand, supported Queen Mother Ma's arm and lifted it up.
"Hey." Empress Dowager Ma grabbed Murong Chaoge's hand and held it tightly with a big smile on her face, "It concerns Ge'er, your life, and the future of my country in Beiyi. How can the Ai family...
No matter, a little bit of wind and cold is nothing."
The two looked at each other with eyebrows and smiles on their faces.
One is dignified and elegant, the other is charming and showy, but they are secretly competing with each other on their hands.
It is not difficult to see that Queen Mother Ma is also a practitioner with profound skills. Even at this age, her strength in her hands is not inferior to Murong Chaoge's.
"Besides, the Ai family has inherited the destiny of God and has the protection of the gods. All evils will not invade." As she spoke, Queen Mother Ma grabbed Murong Chaoge's hand heavily, put it down, took it in her hand and patted it gently, looking like a kind grandmother.
Murong Chaoge took out his hand and said, "I'm always bothering my grandmother, so how can Chaoge feel so good about it?"
Ling Xiyue saw everything in her eyes, but she was just there to take care of herself.
The melons in this grassland and desert are different.
There is plenty of sunshine and it is much sweeter than other places!
"Sir, the Queen Mother Ma's family is strong and aggressive. She took advantage of the situation and robbed Tianlin some time ago. It was her doing it." At this time, a head slowly stretched out from behind and came to Ling Xiyue's ear, who was minding his own business, and whispered softly.
She talked about the current situation.
Ling Xiyue said "Huh", picked up another piece, and continued.
Malone: "..."
My Queen, have you come all this way just to eat melon?
Tantai Yunlang's eyes glanced back unintentionally, and he caught sight of Ling Xiyue's appearance from the corner of his eye. The corners of his beautiful mouth involuntarily raised slightly, but in the next second, he frowned and looked away lightly.
"How is it? Do you have a decision in Ge'er's mind?" Queen Mother Ma looked down with a smile, her golden green steps shining brightly in the light of the bonfire.
Murong Chaoge smiled and said perfunctorily, "Not yet."
"In my opinion, Prince Tantai is a talented person, and Ge'er, you are a talented man and a pretty girl." Empress Dowager Ma suddenly said this, her old face still charming. She looked towards Tantai's cloudy place with a smile, "Look at Aijia,
Ge'er should have made the same decision."
Everyone didn't know what he meant, so they all fell silent and looked at each other in confusion.
There was some probing and teasing in Queen Mother Ma's words. She might have remembered Tantai Yunlang's previous disregard for her and wanted to regain some ground.
Although Murong Chaoge is nearly ten years older than Tantai Yunlang, for them, age is not a problem at all. After many new kings succeed to the throne, they will also inherit their father's concubines, with a difference of several dozen years.
There are, so it’s not impossible.
Ling Xiyue stopped eating the melon and raised her head.
Tantai Yunlang was silent, but he looked at Ling Xiyue dimly out of the corner of his eye.
Murong Chaoge frowned, very displeased, and his tone became obviously tough, "Grandma, please don't mess with the mandarin duck music. It's a small matter to insult Chaoge, but don't ruin the reputation of Prince Tantai. If Chaoge marries to the West in the future,
Lan, how should he get along with his father!"
She is worthy of being the goddess of war galloping on the battlefield. When her aura is not concealed, she becomes even more stunning.
Empress Dowager Ma's body stiffened slightly, and then she realized that she had accidentally said something without checking for a while. Even though she was dissatisfied with Murong Chaoge's obviously disrespectful words, she could only suffer the loss of being dumb and just laughed it off.
Ling Xiyue raised her eyebrows.
As expected of her little aunt, she is not someone who can be bullied by others!
