Concubine Hua faltered and couldn't answer the emperor's words, but the imperial concubine said: "Your majesty, don't worry, the concubine told my sister just now, and the concubine wrongly blamed the sixth prince just now, because she was punished by the emperor, she has a little temper , that's why I didn't come on purpose, but my sister has already explained to my sister just now, there is no such thing."
The emperor heard the words of the imperial concubine, and there was a doubt in his heart, but the concubine Hua immediately argued: "The emperor, the imperial concubine is used to joking, Xing'er, how could it be such a child, she was accidentally delayed on the way , the concubine first apologizes to the emperor."
"Okay, okay, the auspicious time hasn't arrived yet. I'll just wait." The emperor has always favored Concubine Hua, so he had the heart to let Concubine Hua lose face.
Yang Yanjing could only vaguely listen to the conversation between the emperor, the imperial concubine, and the concubine Hua's grandma, but Yang Yanjing was always in his heart, secretly feeling that something big must happen at today's dinner party.
At this time, Yang Yanjing whispered in Yang's concubine's ear: "Huang Li, why don't you go out and see what's going on with Yang Yanxing?"
After Concubine Yang agreed, she excused herself and left. Fenghuang still felt strange, but her thoughts were all on the banquet in the palace.
At this time, Eunuch Su, who was beside the emperor, reminded him softly in his ear: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, can the dinner begin?"
Seeing that Yang Yanxing hadn't come yet, the emperor got a little impatient, and motioned for Eunuch Su to announce the start of today's dinner.
Eunuch Su said to everyone in the center of the main hall, "The auspicious time has come, and the dinner party has officially begun."
Fenghuang was probably the most excited among them. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat the exquisite dishes in front of her. Fenghuang was eating while muttering in her mouth: "I thought Haitianlou's dishes were already top-quality. , I didn’t expect the palace’s dishes to be the best among the best.”
Yang Yanjing glanced at the lovely phoenix, and still had that dumbfounding expression, "Princess, it's fortunate that we are sitting in a corner, otherwise, if someone saw it, they would think I didn't treat you well."
Fenghuang didn't care about bickering with Yang Yanjing at all, picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and stuffed it into his mouth.
And the emperor is a little displeased because the sixth prince has not come for a long time. Concubine Hua looked at the emperor's expression and became more and more dignified, feeling uneasy in her heart.
At this time, the imperial concubine continued to instigate: "Concubine Hua, you said that we didn't wait for the sixth prince for this dinner. According to the temper of the sixth prince, will you be very unhappy?"
"You," the concubine Hua said, but she swallowed it. After all, the emperor was present, and although she was angry in her heart, she still suppressed her anger and said to the concubine imperial concubine, "Miss imperial concubine, I really love joking now. , you always make jokes about Xing'er, isn't it a little too much?"
The imperial concubine just smiled lightly, and said to the emperor: "Your majesty, the concubine likes to joke with the younger sister of Concubine Hua the most, and the younger sister can't afford to joke anymore."
The emperor glanced at Concubine Hua and didn't say much. In order to relieve the emperor, Concubine Hua immediately stood up, held up the wine glass, and said to the emperor: "My concubine, toast the emperor." Concubine Hua went first. For the sake of respect.
The emperor also immediately drank the glass of wine in his hand, but the emperor still didn't say a word.
This made Concubine Hua even more uneasy. All the concubines were talking and laughing happily, but only the concubine Hua was preoccupied.
At this time, Concubine Shu stood up and toasted Concubine Hua, "Concubine concubine toast to Concubine Hua."
Concubine Hua just raised her wine glass, followed the etiquette, and drank it all in one gulp.
Concubine Shu said with some dissatisfaction: "Concubine Hua, are you drinking with your concubine?"
"Concubine Shu, you are worrying too much." Concubine Hua explained.
"Concubine Shu, what Sister Hua Concubine said is that you are really worrying too much. Sister Hua is just worried because the Sixth Prince didn't come, but it's not your fault." The imperial concubine deliberately explained that it was actually I want to uncover Concubine Hua's scar again,
"Imperial Concubine, are you going to have trouble with me today?" Concubine Hua put down her wine glass and stared at Imperial Concubine.
"Sister, how can you say that, this palace attaches great importance to you and the sixth prince, that's why I said a few more words." The imperial concubine said against her will.
Concubine Shu also added jealousy and said: "Okay, sisters, my sister knows that my sister is depressed. After all, my frail and sick old seventh came to the banquet on time. The sixth prince is so strong and strong, but he can't come. Concubine Hua, she must be worried."
"Concubine Shu, I think your courage is getting worse and worse. It must be the courage lent to you by the imperial concubine." Concubine Hua couldn't bear it anymore, and finally reprimanded Concubine Shu.
But the emperor said at this time: "Can you guys calm down a bit, Concubine Hua, if you have time to bicker, go find Yang Yanxing first."
"The emperor calm down, the concubine has asked someone to look for Xing'er, but there is no response yet." Concubine Hua explained hastily.
The eyes of all the people present were focused on Concubine Hua, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
"Xing'er, it's getting more and more outrageous. I told him to face the wall, but it seems that it has no effect. Now even my family banquet is not coming for no reason." The emperor said angrily.
Concubine Hua just wanted to explain, but the emperor signaled her to shut up, because because of Yang Yanxing's incident before, the ministers already felt that the emperor favored the sixth prince too much and it was not so easy to make other princes disobedient.
But the emperor really punished Yang Yanxing a little because of Concubine Hua and his preference for Yang Yanxing, but today he didn't come for no reason, and everyone's eyes saw it. It may cause dissatisfaction among other princes and princesses. To be precise, many princes and princesses are already dissatisfied, but because they are emperors, they cannot just say so.
At this time, Fenghuang thought that the voices of the emperor and the concubine Hua were really loud, so he noticed that Yangyan Xinghai hadn't arrived, and shook his head helplessly, "This Yangyan star really seems to be stubborn. Ah, the emperor is really angry now.
Yangyanjing Enterprise said: "That's not necessarily true. I think the sixth brother can't come because of a reason." Because Yangyanyanjing was on the side, he had already discovered that there was a big problem with the matter, but now because of the location There is no way to confirm anything in the palace.
"Really?" Fenghuang was a little puzzled, how could Yang Yanjing be so confident.
"Although Yang Yanxing is a bit ruthless, he still won't commit such a mistake. Sixth brother is just domineering and ruthless, but he is fairly upright and respects his father even more. So there is a big problem with today's dinner. " Yan Yanjing analyzed.
"It turns out that the prince also thinks that Yang Yanxing's heart is not bad, but his behavior is a bit domineering and cruel, and I think so too." Fenghuang was sure.
Yang Yanjing turned her head to look at Fenghuang, "Princess, how do you know that?"
Only then did Fenghuang remember that this Yang Yanjing was a big jealousy, so he immediately found an excuse and said: "My concubine judges people first and foremost."
Only then did Yang Yanjing dispel the doubt in his heart,
