Chapter 81: Above the Banquet

"Yan Er still said this through the clothes, it is better for Prince Bai Yi to go back and change into thicker clothes." Mu Lingyi's voice did not fluctuate, he believed in Yan Er's senses, he looked at her surprise in his eyes, this Bai Yi was really suspicious, and he had never heard that he was in poor health when he investigated him.

"The princess cares, I have been like this since I was a child, although my hands and feet are cold, but I don't feel cold." He always ignored Mu Lingyi, and only replied to Yan Le's words.

Man'er was extremely uncomfortable beside her, as if she was watching a scene competing for Yan Le, and Yan Le didn't know it, she reached out to pull her sleeve, and said in a loud voice: "Yan Le, two quarters of an hour is coming, we should go in." ”

"Well, Man'er reminded us, let's all go in, don't wait to enter the palace later than the emperor, that's too eye-catching." Yan Le took Man'er's hand with her backhand and got up first, she wanted to pull Ling Yi's hand together, but in this way, Bai Yi was left alone in the end, no, she was not very kind, so she only led Man'er to the front.

Bai Yi and Mu Lingyi tacitly ignored each other's existence, and they walked slowly side by side with Yan Le.

Everyone in the hall had already sat down in an orderly manner, and Yan Le wanted to go to his father and mother, but he saw an old eunuch with a pink face walking towards him with light steps. He smiled extremely brightly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he saluted Yan Le in an extremely sharp voice.

"The old slave has seen Princess Lingxi, Princess Lingxi, your seat is with the princesses and princes, and the old slave will take you over."

Yan Le turned around and looked at his mother's side, saw that she had come over, and said to himself gently: "Lingxi, you go with your grandfather, Man'er and her mother sit together." ”

"Okay, then Ling Yi ....." She turned to look at Mu Lingyi, and saw the old eunuch start to salute and answer her doubts, "The old slave has also seen Princess Huishu, Prince Bai Yi, Commander Mu, Princess Lingxi and Prince Bai Yi can sit together, but our position of Commander Mu is over there." He gestured toward the courtiers' seats.

"Okay," Yan Le wanted to ask why this was again, she and Bai Yi could sit together, but she wanted to ask Bai Yi in person, so she only answered succinctly, she gave Mu Lingyi a reassuring look, smiled sweetly and waved at Niangqin and Man'er, and then went with the old eunuch.

Bai Yi deliberately turned around and glanced at Mu Lingyi, he was extremely humble and gave a farewell salute to Princess Huishu, "Can the princess sit with Bai Yi?" He widened his steps and walked to her side.

"Huh?" Yan Le was a little puzzled, she looked at the people seated in the hall, it turned out to be two by two tables, "It's good if the master is willing, I'm very willing." "She has no acquaintances among the princes and princesses, and Cousin Yining is related to her brother, so it is embarrassing to sit together, and Bai Yi is alienated from people's personalities, and Xu is not as good as the princess and princess to befriend him.

"Princess Lingxi, Prince Bai Yi, come, this is your seat." Gonggong Sun bowed slightly, pointed to the second table on the right side of the throne, and invited the two masters to take their seats.

"Father-in-law Xiesun."

"Father-in-law Xiesun."

The two of them thanked Grandpa Sun very neatly, which made Grandpa Sun inexplicably happy, "The princess and the prince are smiling, how can we talk about thanks, come and sit, you sit." ”

Yan Le lifted her skirt slightly, and quickly sat behind the table, she looked for Ling Yi's figure in the position pointed by her father-in-law just now, and saw that when he was about to sit down, a shadow blocked his way, and Qianying rushed to the scene like a dusty servant, still wearing a coat, her hair was a little messy, and her little face that was not smeared with pink was very happy and said something to Ling Yi.

"That's the Seventh Princess, Princess Yixuan Xu just came back from the hunting ground in the suburbs." Bai Yi sat next to Yan Le, looked in her direction, and answered for her.

Liang Yining had just come in from outside looking for Wu Tingmo, she couldn't help but feel a little proud when she saw Mu Lingyi with her sister, Ling regret, you are an outsider after all, you will not be able to integrate into everything here, and in the end you will only leave alone.

Her extremely light voice sounded behind Yan Le, "My cousin and Prince Bai Yi really get along, and it's rare to see Prince Bai Yi sitting at the same table with others." ”

Yan Le turned around sharply because of the clothing problem, but the cousin didn't seem to have the intention of stepping forward, could she be seated at the table behind her? She lifted the hem of her skirt and wanted to get up to say hello to her, but she was suddenly bumped into by someone, lost her balance, and fell into Bai Yi's arms.

She frowned slightly, quickly got out of Bai Yi's arms with the table, and sat upright in her seat, "Master, are you okay, did I press you?" ”

"Princess, don't be nervous, Bai Yi is fine, but it's a princess, but where are you bumping?" Bai Yi didn't care about Yan Le's sudden arms, his hand under his sleeve was empty for a while, and he suddenly felt a pity, her reaction was really fast, and she didn't stay in her arms for a while.

Yan Le couldn't see who hit her, but saw Cousin Yining walking out from behind her, and asked with concern: "Cousin is okay, be careful, the little palace maid who served the tea just now didn't mean it, she didn't even know that she hit someone." ”

She said very understandingly, as if she understood very well that the palace maid was busy, and Yan Le was out of panic and bumpered with herself. If Yan Le refutes her words, she will be aggressive, and she will be charged.

Yan Le didn't know the tricks of the deep palace, and she was only careless when she was a palace maid, and she couldn't get along with her, but she was already keenly aware that there were words in her cousin's words, and their meanings were not as easy to understand as they seemed on the surface. She pulled out a very perfunctory smile, "Cousin is right, but I regret that I was reckless." ”

"My cousin just came back, I guess I'm used to being chic, I don't blame you for not doing things well, my cousin is sitting in front of you, if you don't understand, come and ask me." Liang Yining had the intention of swearing sovereignty, she waved her wide sleeves very neatly, turned around and walked to the first table to sit down. The gentleness and empathy in her eyes disappeared the moment she turned around, but she recovered when she reminded herself that there were countless pairs of eyes looking at her, for Yan Le's weakness just now, she was extremely happy, and she was very sorry, even if Cousin Tingmo was here now, I wouldn't let you go.

Alas, it turns out that the true face of some things is like this. Yan Le lowered her head and sneered, her extremely light words couldn't even be heard by Bai Yi.

"Princess, it's good to avoid some things." Bai Yi's voice was also extremely soft, he only said it for her, he didn't have to listen, he could see it according to his experience.

Yan Le restrained her coldness, and looked at Bai Yi with a scheming smile, "The master is really a master, and the realm is quite deep." "Avoid, is this his philosophy of doing things, he has been in this palace for more than ten years, and he has avoided everything by avoiding.

"Since the princess calls me a master, then I will share my experience with the princess, and it will be in vain for us to be a master and apprentice." He said very softly, glancing at Gonggong Sun standing by the door of the hall and preparing to raise his voice. He stretched out his hand, protected Yan Le, and reminded her: "It's time for a banquet, be careful with your dress when you salute." ”

"Master Xie." As soon as her face fell, Grandpa Sun's sharp voice sounded.

"Please take a seat and welcome Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the noble concubine."

In just a moment, the mixed conversation of the ministers stopped, and Princess Xiaoqi Yixuan, who was blocking Mu Lingyi's way, was finally willing to retreat.

"The emperor drove to ~~~ The queen mother drove to ~~~ Situ Guifei drove to ~~~"

Sun Gonggong's voice resounded in the hall, and all the ministers got up and knelt down to greet her, Yan Le paid great attention to it this time, but Bai Yi was still very considerate to help her, and watched her kneel before withdrawing the hand that was holding her.

Yan Le knelt down in the shape of his mother diagonally opposite, looking down at the ground. She heard someone trotting in through the side door behind her, kneeling behind her with great speed.

"Everyone, please get up, you don't need to be polite today, you are all at ease." The emperor walked slowly in the main hall, and the glamorous Concubine Situ behind him supported the elderly queen mother.

"Emperor Xie, Empress Dowager Xie." After everyone's uniform voice sounded, they all got up very quickly and watched the emperor and the queen mother sit back in their seats.

Yan Le looked at Bai Yi's hand stretched out to help her this time, and shook his head slightly to signal no, but her name was called just when she was about to sit down.

"Today's banquet is to catch the wind for the princess of our dynasty, after a 12-year absence, my niece is finally back. Pity me. The emperor looked at Yan Le, who was not far from him.

"Yes," Yan Le folded his hands in front of his forehead, and got the emperor's next words.

"Now that you have returned safely, it is the greatest joy of the martial family, I have given you thousands of acres of fertile land, and ten thousand taels of gold are for you in the martial family, congratulations on the reunion of your family."

"Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yan Le listened to his father and brothers all get up and thank him together.

"Don't be polite, sit down and have a feast." The emperor smiled and waved his hand, he raised the wine glass, and said to all the people in the hall proudly: "Everyone here, let me wait to drink this glass of wine, and jointly congratulate my sister Princess Huishu for finally finding her daughter, and wish Wu Linhou and the family reunion." ”

"Princess Hexi, Marquis Hexi." The princess, the princess, the ministers and their families all raised their wine glasses, started together, and then drank the wine in their hands very tacitly.

Yan Le looked at Mu Lingyi diagonally opposite, and smiled at him, reassuring him that he would not drink the whole glass of wine.

Mu Lingyi quickly understood what she meant, and looked at her tenderly through the extremely wide corridor in the middle, carefully looking at her throat and not swallowing.

The beautiful sound of the piano suddenly sounded, and a group of dancers wrapped in streamers marched to the hall, dancing to the increasingly melodious sound of the piano. Yan Le was quite interested, she had never seen this scene before, especially the extremely soft body of this dancing girl, it seemed that practicing dance was more testing the body than practicing martial arts, and she had practiced martial arts for twelve years, but she had not been able to bend her waist like this.

"The princess looks very fond of this dance." Bai Yi put pastries in her bowl and said casually.

"The master thought it was no surprise when he saw it, but this is the first time I've seen it." Yan Le lowered her head and brought the pastry he picked up to her mouth, she was blocked by the dancer, and she couldn't see Ling Yi's figure at all.

"Hey."

Someone behind her was gently pulling her clothes, Yan Le learned smartly this time, she first moved her seat to Bai Yi's side and then turned around, so that she could see the person behind her, but this was against Bai Yi, this scene was very strange in front of the person opposite, and she couldn't stay too long.

Yan Le turned around and saw a very delicate little face approaching her, and she was dressed in an extremely energetic goose yellow dress that made her particularly lively and cute. Just now, her face was facing her side, so Yan Le recognized her, she was the little seventh princess, Liang Yixuan.

"Hello." Yan Le's opening remarks have always been so simple.

"Hello, Sister Lingxi, I'm Xiao Qi, and I'm often in the hunting ground, so I'm here to meet you." Liang Yixuan lowered her voice, but she couldn't hide her brisk tone at all.
