"Think about it for yourself, I'll go back to the house." Pei Zheng finished speaking solemnly, and then turned out of the main hall, showing no amiable expression to Pei Yaran.
Pei Yaran looked at her father's figure disappearing from her sight, her face gradually became gloomy, because she was the Pei family, and everything she did had to be considered for the Pei family. Sacrifice your own happiness, time! The one you love is clearly in front of you, but you can't reach out and touch.
Endless sorrow rose from the bottom of her heart, Pei Yaran couldn't control it anymore, and patted the table heavily, using too much force, making the table unstable. The placed flower porcelain bottle couldn't help falling to the ground, and only heard a pop, the porcelain bottle was shattered, like her heart, torn to the ground.
Looking down at the broken flower vase, Pei Yaran's gloomy complexion slowly faded. If she had to go to hell, she had to bring someone to accompany her, and she would go to hell alone, no!
The court lady who was guarding outside heard the sound inside and was so frightened that she did not dare to go out. He Ying was sent back to Pei's Mansion, and there was no maid in Ci Ning Palace who dared to approach the Queen Mother rashly.
Not long after, a solemn voice rang from the hall, "Come in and clean up."
The four words were smooth and without the slightest anger. The palace lady thought that the queen mother was out of anger, so she bowed into the main hall and quickly bent over to pick up the broken porcelain.
The palace maid shook her hand because of fear, the porcelain bottle cut her skin, and a trace of blood flowed out. She squatted on the ground in fear, and kept saying, "The slave and maid should die, and the queen mother forgive me."
Pei Yaran frowned, He Ying was not there, and there was not even a person around him who could do things. "The Ai family won't punish you, what are you trembling! Clean up as soon as possible."
Afterwards, she looked at another court lady outside the hall and said, "Go to the House of Internal Affairs and call Grandpa Zhang and bring the seat map for the palace banquet tonight."
The maid who was named immediately bowed and said, "The slave maid will go now." After the words were over, the maid quickened her pace and went directly out of the Ci Ning Palace and headed to the House of Internal Affairs.
Pei Yaran sat on the head and looked at the front yard scenery outside the main hall. It was late autumn, the green leaves had turned yellow, and some had fallen off.
People are like leaves, they will always fall when the time comes, unless you are a tree that is green all year round.
Father had already spoken, so she gave him a face and arranged a seat for Pei Anru. As for whether Pei Qianhao would like Pei Anru, it has nothing to do with her. The biggest obstacle for her right now is Su Xi'er. She didn't expect that one day a court lady would give her a headache.
Not long after, Grandpa Zhang entered the Ci Ning Palace with a seat map, and after entering the main hall, he bowed and saluted, "Slaves see the Queen Mother."
Pei Yaran waved his hand to signal him to get up, "Daddy Zhang, present the seat map for the Ai's family."
"The slave obeyed." Grandpa Zhang said as he stepped forward, and respectfully handed the seat map to Pei Yaran. The queen mother never asked about the palace banquet, why suddenly asked him to bring a seat map, the location arrangement was similar to before.
Pei Yaran looked at the seat map carefully, and saw the three words of Junwang Xie at a glance. She chuckled, "Jun Xie hasn't attended the palace dinner for a long time, why did you participate this time?"
"The minion didn't know. The guard of the county palace entered the palace and talked to the minion. The minion arranged a seat for the king Xie for the first time. I wonder if the seating arrangement is reasonable? Attending this dinner, I asked him specifically how to arrange seats.
Pei Yaran's slender finger touched the three words of Junwang Xie, "It's a good job, and you have arranged his position well."
The emperor sits at the top, with Pei Qianhao on the right and Xie Yun on the left. Then came the maid of the palace, she and Guo Taifei. Further down is Situ Li, the six ministers, and Bei Min's top three families.
Pei Yaran did not expect that not only Xie Yun came, but Guo Taifei and Situ Li also attended today's dinner. As a result, if Pei Anru was installed again, there were obviously not enough seats, which was difficult to do.
"Queen dowager, today's dinner is different from the past. The minion and the Ministry of Rites have discussed the position for a long time before determining the position. If the queen dowager has any suggestions, just ask." Zhang Gonggong saluted again with a respectful look.
"He Ying, the grand palace maid next to Ai's family, was sent back to Pei's mansion due to illness, and there was no considerate court maid. I originally thought that my niece would enter the palace to attend a dinner party and accompany Ai's family, but tonight Xie Junwang, Guo Taifei and the third princes were all attending. In this way, the niece's seat cannot be inserted."
When Zhang Gonggong heard this, he was a little bit embarrassed. Bei Min's national training should not be extravagant and wasteful. You can't put another table for a queen mother and niece and violate the national training.
"No matter, the Aijia has another idea, go down." After speaking, Pei Yaran handed the seat map to Grandpa Zhang.
Grandpa Zhang took it, bowed and bowed, then walked out of the main hall.
Pei Yaran sat on the head and shouted to the guard outside the hall, "Come here."
The guard entered immediately, "Queen Dowager, what's your order?"
"Immediately go to Pei's Mansion and take the Ai's niece, Pei Anru to Ci Ning Palace. You don't have to go into the palace with Master Pei, and tell her to come first."
"Subordinates obey." The guards turned around and quickly walked outside Ci Ning Palace.
Pei Yaran had made up his mind. Since he couldn't install the socket, he would stand beside her and wait, let Pei Anru stand where Heying was originally standing. Her seat is on the right side of Pei Qianhao, and Pei Anru is standing behind her. This so-called position is the closest to Pei Qianhao.
In another place, Pei Qianhao, who hadn't waited for a long time in the palace, was in the palace of Hao at this time, and Su Xi'er was brought back together.
Pei Qianhao ordered the guards to lead Su Xier to the backyard of the palace.
The guard's face was respectful and made a please gesture towards Su Xier.
Su Xier entered the backyard in accordance with Yan. She did not expect that she would see Ruoyuan and Hongli here! Pei Qianhao had arranged all this early in the morning!
When Ruoyuan saw her, her eyes were dizzying, she put down the food in her hand, and ran over immediately, "Su Xi'er, you are finally back! On the day the Beauty Palace was dismissed, Hong Li and I couldn't see you. Very impatient!"
Su Xi'er patted her hand gently, "I'm so anxious? Why do I think you have fleshy?"
When Ruoyuan heard it, the roots of her ears turned red, "Why, I am not fat, thinner, and the flesh on my belly is much less! Red chestnut, are you right?"
"We are in the Palace of Beauty. Grandpa Sun brings some delicious food. If Yuan Yuan can’t keep your mouth shut. On the day the Beauty Palace was dismissed, Commander Wu took us to the Hao Palace. That night, there was a bunch of delicious food. Eat every day. It's much better than the palace. Ruoyuan, why are you thin?" Hongli's eyebrows were curled, and he secretly laughed while covering his mouth.
Ruoyuan glared at her, "Nonsense, she's obviously thinner!"
From Hongli's words, Su Xier learned that Pei Qianhao did not treat them wrongly when she was not in Beimin.
At this moment, Ruoyuan suddenly became mysterious, "Su Xi'er, King Hao spoils you very much. From now on, are you going to follow him?"
