Princess Zhaorong raised her chin and deliberately raised her voice to let Shen Ning hear.
It's just that her childish tricks didn't arouse Shen Ning's envy, jealousy or hatred at all. She just smiled slightly and said to Mo Chuan: "It's getting late, it's time to start the dinner."
Mo Chuan nodded and struck with both palms. The eunuch and the maid immediately brought the wine and food to the table like a flowing stream.
In order to show her favor to Princess Zhaorong, Empress Dowager Zhou deliberately made this birthday banquet grand and lively. She put a lot of thought into preparing the wine, food and delicacies, which were all rare treasures and were delicious in color, fragrance and taste.
Everyone was full of praise for the food.
Originally, she asked Su Jin to prepare some singing and dancing shows to add to the fun, but Su Jin followed Queen Mother Zhou back to Shoukang Palace. Those singers and dancers dressed up in gorgeous clothes were waiting in the side hall, but no one called them to perform.
There were cups and cups in the Qing'an Hall, and the ministers were in high spirits, but Princess Zhaorong was the only one who looked unhappy, sitting alone at the table and sulking.
There was an endless stream of people who came to toast Ning Guogong and her. Every minister presented carefully prepared gifts, but among them all, Mo Chuan was not the only one.
She had no intention of dealing with these bearded ministers, and her eyes never left Mo Chuan for a moment.
But Mo Chuan didn't even look at her.
He and Shen Ning sat side by side. On her table were the dishes he had ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare specially for her. They were all of her favorite tastes. He didn't even care about the eyes of others and served her to himself. Holding vegetables.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled while eating, the tenderness and sweetness clearly reflected between their eyebrows.
Princess Zhaorong's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. Even if dragon liver, phoenix and gallbladder were placed in front of her, she would not be able to take a bite.
"Snapped!"
She slammed the jade chopsticks in her hand on the table and stood up suddenly.
"Zhaorong, what are you going to do? You must not be rude in this kind of situation. Please sit down quickly!" Although Ning Guogong was chatting with the ministers, he was always paying attention to his daughter from the corner of his eye. He saw her eyes glaring with fire. Shen Ning was afraid that she would cause trouble, so she hurriedly scolded her to stop her.
"Dad, my daughter just wants to have a glass of wine with the Emperor and the Queen. You, the old man, won't stop your daughter even from this, right?"
Princess Zhaorong opened her small mouth and grinned. The anger and hatred in her eyes were quickly covered up without a trace.
She picked up the wine flask, poured a full glass of wine, and held it in her hand.
Ning Guogong looked at her suspiciously: "Are you really just going to toast?"
"Dad, do you think your daughter is going to cause trouble for the Queen? Dad, don't worry, your daughter won't mess around." Princess Zhaorong's eyes rolled around, the corners of her mouth raised, and she stared with a half-smile. Shen Ning.
From the first moment she saw Shen Ning, she noticed that the dress she was wearing was as beautiful as flowing clouds. She had worked hard to get it. She originally planned to wear it to make a splash at the banquet. But in order to achieve her goal, she still reluctantly gave up and put this beautiful dress into Shen Ning's suitcase by the insider arranged in Guanju Palace.
She believed that no woman would dislike this skirt after seeing it. Sure enough, her bet was successful, and Shen Ning wore it as she wished.
But Princess Zhaorong believed that what Shen Ning never expected was that she had sprinkled catnip powder on this dress, but the amount was small and the smell was very light.
