MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 61 is life
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother." Everyone stood up and bowed.
In Fengtian Hall, only Emperor Hui and Prince Feng Zhan were still seated.
As the monarch, Emperor Hui did not stand up and salute the Empress Dowager Xiao during the ceremony, which was also in line with regulations.
But Prince Feng Zhan this...
"Presumptuous." Mrs. Xiao had seen the wind and frost on her back, but her back was still straight, showing that the aura of the superior was still there.
But until the Empress Dowager Xiao stepped into the hall, there were several aliens standing in the hall.
Qin Yan was still clasping A Yan's neck with one hand, and looked at A Yan with sharp eyes. The movement that was about to break A Yan's slender neck was interrupted by the sudden arrival of the Queen Mother.
Emperor Shi Yishan frowned, turned to look at Empress Dowager Xiao, who had stopped walking into the hall, and said:
"The queen mother."
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded,
"Master Yishan."
Qin Yanfeng's anger still remained in her eyes, and she slowly turned her head to look at Empress Dowager Xiao who was standing not far away.
At the end of the hall at this time, an empress dowager who had been in power for many years and now Yu Wei is still there, and a newly-appointed county master who was born in a dignitary and is being valued by the saint and the prince, both of them have sharp eyes, and their eyes meet in the air.
The palace music in Fengtian Hall had stopped, there was no sound, and the tense atmosphere spread. Some of the people kneeling on the ground actually trembled slightly under the pressure of this atmosphere, and sweat broke out on their backs.
The first emperor Hui and Prince Feng Zhan all looked at the direction of the hall door with cool eyes.
Feng Zhan slightly bent his fingers and tapped the food table rhythmically. The sound of the percussion came close, and Song Zhi, who was kneeling and saluting, moved his ears slightly. He immediately understood that he had to be ready to receive His Highness's instructions at any time to help Zhaoren County Master.
Finally, some people couldn't help but secretly raised their heads and peeped towards the end of the hall.
But what did they see?
…!
This is incredible.
Zhaoren County Master doesn't even care about the Queen Mother...?
Against Empress Dowager Xiao, who has been in high positions for a long time, the aura of the Zhaoren County Lord was not suppressed at all.
One is Empress Dowager Xiao, who supported the prince, and the other is the Princess Zhaoren, who is now highly valued by the prince.
And the prince Feng Zhan, who was sitting on the head, just watched from the sidelines, without any intention of interfering.
------
Yishan's eyes showed worry, he took a step closer, and pressed his throat beside Qin Yan, saying:
"Xiao Yanyan, put down the fire first, this is not a good place to deal with this person."
Qin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to look at A Yan, who had blushed. She closed her eyes slightly, opened them again, her expression was still cold, and slowly released the five fingers that held A Yan, letting A Yan who had lost her strength in front of her slowly release her. Yan fell to the ground.
After A Yan collapsed on the ground, she did not wait to calm down her fear, she still held her breath in a sitting position, her legs kept pushing back, and she tried to stay away from Qin Yan, who was looking down at her.
How dare she actually do it in the palace...
Emperor Hui said at this time:
"The queen mother please take your seat."
Emperor Hui wanted to expose the matter just now and relieve Qin Yan from the siege.
But Mrs. Xiao was still serious and condensed on the back, and did not move.
"The hall is so presumptuous, where do you place the dignity of the royal family?" The Queen Mother Xiao's voice was cold and harsh, and she was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Yan's arrogant behavior in the hall.
Qin Yan lowered her hands, turned around when she heard the words, and looked directly at the Queen Mother, with a bloodthirsty cold light in her eyes.
royal family...
what a royal family...
At this moment, Qin Yan was pressing his anger towards the word "royal family" over the years.
If it wasn't for the suspicion that the behind-the-scenes mastermind behind the mother's fall from the cliff was related to the royal family, it would have caused the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety to the Duke's Mansion and affected the affairs of the northwest. My mother will not be homeless for so many years, and she will never be able to return home...
oh, the royal family...
A calm female voice came from the top of the hall,
"Zhaoren County Lord just drank two more glasses. This is because the taste of wine has come up. Come, let Zhaoren County Lord return to his seat."
The queen mother did not let them get up, and everyone was still kneeling and bowing at this time, but this voice...
Like a queen from a high platform...
It's the queen!
An Yanxi raised her head in shock and looked in disbelief at the Lord of the Harem who had stood upright at the moment.
How can the queen...
------
The Empress Dowager Xiao did not let everyone get up. I don't know if this dismounting was for Qin Yan, the master of Zhaoren County, or the Holy Highness on the throne...
Prince Feng Zhan said coldly:
"Please take your seat."
When the Queen Mother Xiao heard the words, she looked away from Qin Yan's face and looked at the prince Feng Zhan, whose eyes were also cold at the moment.
Prince...
very good.
Empress Dowager Xiao retracted her gaze and glanced at Qin Yan, whose expression had not changed so far, and said to the middle of the hall:
"Exemption."
Then he slowly stepped forward.
When they passed by with Qin Yan, both of them had cold light in their eyes.
The Ministry of Rites ordered the palace music to play.
Then everyone wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and stood up tremblingly and returned to their seats.
Qin Yan didn't even want to do the perfunctory continuing to look at the painting, strode back to his seat, ordered the palace people to fill up the wine, picked up the wine cup, raised his slender neck, and drank it all in one go.
Emperor Hui said:
"Today's performance in the hall will be rewarded."
The people in the hall returned to their seats one after another.
Feng Zhan, the prince at the top, looked at Qin Yan's abnormal behavior, and summoned Song Zhi to explain, Song Zhi looked at A Yan, who was shrinking and walking outside the hall while no one was paying attention.
Song Zhi quickly followed.
Song Zhi passed a couple of men and women in brocade clothes outside the hall, Song Zhi turned back in confusion, King of Yizhou?
------
After the empress dowager was seated, Emperor Hui ordered someone to fill the wine for Empress Dowager Xiao, and Emperor Hui and his concubine respected Empress Dowager Xiao.
After drinking, Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the indifferent Prince Feng Zhan, Feng Zhan also gave Empress Dowager Xiao a light look, Feng Zhan nodded, then raised his head to drink the wine in his glass, without saying a word, turned his eyes back to the seat between.
The man outside the palace sang:
"The king of Yizhou, the princess of Yizhou is here."
Everyone looked at the temple gate, and a young couple about twenty-seven or eight entered the temple side by side.
After entering the palace, the King of Yizhou and his wife bowed their heads and bowed down:
"The minister (the minister's wife) greets His Majesty, long live, the queen is one thousand years old, the queen mother is one thousand years old, and the crown prince is one thousand years old."
Emperor Hui squinted at the man and woman below, but did not speak.
The atmosphere is slightly condensed.
The Empress Dowager Xiao frowned unhappily. Anyone with a discerning eye knew the relationship between Yizhou and the Empress Dowager. The sage did not give her face.
Empress Dowager Xiao said downwards:
"No gift, flat body."
"Come here, take a seat." Empress Dowager Xiao instructed the palace servants.
"Thank the Queen Mother, thank you Your Majesty." The king and his wife of Yizhou were led by the palace servants.
After the king of Yizhou and the princess of Yizhou were seated, the palace staff still followed the rules given to the princes before, respectively serving two wine jugs of different colors and filling the wine glasses on the two food tables.
Xu Shi was late, and he had already received the news from the temple. The couple had a calm expression on their faces, raised their glasses with both hands, got up and said to the head,
"Chen (court wife), thank Your Majesty for the wine, and wish Your Majesty a boundless long life."
The two then lifted their heads and drank the wine in the cup.
Emperor Hui was not hesitant in his heart. He ignored Empress Dowager Xiao's intention and arranged for King Ning to enter the palace. Empress Dowager Xiao then took the King of Yizhou to shame him.
"Well." Emperor Hui's face was not good-looking, and he instructed the Ministry of Rites to continue arranging the program during the banquet.
The crowd whispered:
"The King of Yizhou looks sharp. He doesn't come to Beijing often."
"What's so strange about this, the late old King of Yizhou was a close friend of the Queen Mother. Except for the annual report to Beijing, the King of Yizhou stayed in the fief and never saw anyone."
"The king of Yizhou, but the only king with a different surname in Daxia, is blessed by the Queen Mother Xiao. Today, at the birthday banquet, you dare to be blatantly late. Could it be from the Queen Mother Xiao, too? Seeing that the saint's face is not good, Probably not very happy."
…
------
There were palace maids in dance costumes entering the hall, but Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly made a sound.
"Bengong is late. I heard that there will be a talent show by young ladies and young talents in the palace today. I am very sorry that I missed it. Can someone play the piano just now?"
An Wenjing, with a bad voice in his heart, just turned his head, but saw An Yanxi standing next to him, walking into the hall, and saluting upwards:
"The girl of the people is An Yanxi of the scholar's house. If you return to the empress dowager, it is the girl of the people who plays the piano."
The Queen Mother Xiao smiled and said:
"it is good."
Empress Dowager Xiao turned her head to look at Prince Feng Zhan on the other side of the throne:
"Prince Prince has excellent piano skills, then let the Prince and Miss An sing a piece together, "Feng Qiuhuang"."
The light in An Yanxi's eyes could not be concealed, the queen mother did not lie to her, the queen mother helped her, and the position of the crown princess could only be hers.
Prince Feng Zhan's narrow eyes narrowed dangerously, and looked sharply at the Queen Mother Xiao.
People in the room:
""Phoenix for Phoenix"? But the courtship song..."
"The Queen Mother is trying to match Miss An with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Isn't the Holy One trying to connect His Highness the Crown Prince and the Lord of Zhaoren County? Could it be that the Holy Highness and the Queen Mother disagree?"
"His Royal Highness is supported by the Queen Mother Xiao, and he has a close relationship with the Queen Mother. His Royal Highness should not refuse it."
"What's there to refuse, Zhaoren County Master Tong'an Miss An is a great beauty, and the income is in the mansion. After all, His Royal Highness will not marry only one person."
"It's also..."
…
------
Everyone turned their attention to the prince who looked up.
Prince Feng Zhan said coldly:
"Lonely has no interest."
When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.
The prince actually rejected the queen mother!
Mrs. Xiao didn't look good in the back, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Yun Chao, you go. Don't disappoint your imperial grandmother."
It's the queen, today's second speech. And these two times, they brushed the face of the Queen Mother Xiao, which is interesting.
Feng Yunchao got up,
"Imperial father, my son and minister are not talented, and I am ugly. I wish my father a long life and boundless life."
Emperor Hui smiled and said yes, that was the proposal of the queen.
An Yanxi's face instantly turned pale, and bitterness rose in her heart.
Feng Yunchao walked to the hall, took a seat in front of a piano that the palace servant had prepared, and smiled at An Yanxi who was still standing there:
"Yan Xi, let's start."
An Yanxi returned to her senses with a pale face, and sat down in front of another piano in a trance.
The palace music stopped, and the melodious ensemble of two pianos sounded in the palace.
Mrs. Xiao was sullen in her heart, her face was slightly tense, and she was not even in the mood to maintain the peace on the surface.
She hasn't been out of the palace for a long time, but she didn't expect that one or two of them would go against the sky.
The sage is like this, the queen is like this, even the prince doesn't take her seriously.
Empress Dowager Xiao looked sideways at Prince Feng Zhan, Prince? Just for a woman?
------
The crowd began to whisper excitedly again.
"There are so many good shows at this banquet today, I'll be feasting my eyes on it!"
"It's just..."
"The queen has only returned to the palace, and she dared to speak out against the queen mother's intentions many times..."
"It seems that the candidate for the Crown Princess, Your Majesty and the Empress like the Princess Zhaoren, and the Empress Dowager Miss An, but His Royal Highness does not seem to be able to be manipulated by others..."
"How can Miss An compare with the Zhaoren County Lord, the Zhaoren County Lord is really very personable..."
"Zhaoren County Master is actually a disciple of Master Yishan, and A Yan from Yongding Hou's Mansion is actually a fake..."
"That A Yan is talking nonsense everywhere, and it seems that he even stole the painting of the Zhaoren County Lord. Tsk tsk, the Zhaoren County Lord almost screwed A Yan to death on the spot..."
"Master Yishan scolded that fake apprentice A Yan, but he didn't give her any face, hey, poor girl with thin skin..."
"Hey... This time, the face of Yongding Hou's mansion is disgraceful..."
"I don't know Xie Shizi..."
------
"I don't know what I am?" It was Xie Changyuan who had just finished inspecting the defense and stepped into the hall.
As soon as he passed the seats at the end of the hall, he heard a few people talking.
The few people who were discussing excitedly just now didn't pay attention to the people behind them, and suddenly heard the voice behind them, and they were all terrified.
Xie Chang Yuan heard something more or less, but his eyes were cold at this time, and he said coldly:
"Tell me what you just said."
Those few people looked panicked. They shouldn't be talking about the royal family at the royal banquet, but they were too excited to be restrained. How many dramas are going on today, and with their cultivation, they couldn't help but say nothing.
A few people looked at each other, and finally, under Xie Changyuan's knife-like gaze, a slightly chubby young man stood up tremblingly, bowed to Xie Changyuan, whispered, and briefly narrated what happened in the palace just now.
Xie Changyuan narrowed his eyes.
What did he hear?
Qin Yan is the disciple of the Emperor's Master Yishan!
Master Yishan does not admit that there is an apprentice of A Yan!
A Yan stole Qin Yan's painting!
Qin Yan made a move on A Yan in the hall!
…
Xie Chang Yuan kept repeating these words in his heart, and he no longer had the mentality to understand what the person beside him was still saying.
That fat boy kept floating around, suppressing his voice, but he kept getting more and more excited as he spoke, until Xie Chang Yuan raised his hand to interrupt.
------
Xie Changyuan felt a huge shock in his heart at this moment, and walked to his seat in a trance.
Qin Yan is a disciple of Emperor Yishan, but A Yan is not?
A Yan stole Qin Yan's painting...
Then the paintings he saw in Wanxuezhai, Meishan, that surprised him, and the wild handwriting that he admired a lot...
It's Qin Yan's!
At this moment, some clues in Xie Changyuan's mind suddenly connected.
On the Qixi Festival on the Qianshui Lake painting boat, Feng Yuyao's baby's folding fan, the paintings and inscriptions on the fan...
In the western suburbs hunting ground, on the desk of the Prince's tent, I saw the handwriting on the piece of paper...
And yesterday in the palace, the mountain view folding fan in the hands of the second prince Feng Xian and the words above...
All from Qin Yan!
He should have been admired at a glance, but the person engraved in his heart was his once justifiable fiancee, Qin Yan!
Ha ha…
No wonder, it's no wonder that A Yan has seldom painted since she left Meishan and went to Beijing.
Before, I thought that A Yan was fascinated by the new things in Shangjing, and then...
Ha ha…
I'm just a fool, a ridiculous fool...
Xie Chang Yuan entered the table with a wry smile, took the wine that the palace servants filled him with, and drank it with his head up.
"Fill it up for me." Xie Chang Yuan's voice was slightly hoarse, and he instructed the palace servants.
Xie Chang Yuan poured wine cup by cup.
I don't know if it was because of too much drinking, Xie Changyuan's eyes were red at this moment, and finally, he still looked at the seat diagonally opposite...
At this moment, Xie Changyuan has completely forgotten that there is no one in the temple, and now he has been married to his fiancée, A Yan...
But, Xie Shizi, one step is wrong, one step is wrong. All things are life, not a little bit.
