Chapter 26: Family Banquet

"I just want you to know that many things are under my control. Don't want to hide meaningless things from me and think that you can hide them from me. Just choose to trust me. If there is anything, I will solve it. He couldn't figure out how Lan Ruoyan would react to yesterday's words, because her reaction at that time was different from usual. He had to tell her that her strength was not enough to change anything.

Oh. Lan Ruoyan sneered in his heart. The arrogant man thought that women should be protected by him under his wings. He thought that everything was under his control. I don't know if he knew the saying "Mantis catches the cicadas and yellow finch behind".

"Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you. The Empress Dowager asked me to go with you. We are a family!" What a sarcastic family, superficial brothers and sisters, mother and son love, but whether there is this love in the heart or not is worth delving.

Did everyone forget to take off the mask as it was, or did they think it was?

"A family?" His real family has been gone since the moment his father died. At that moment, he was alone and had no relatives. So let's go. What are you still doing here? You have to go back and prepare for it. Are you ready to go like this?

Lan Ruoyan bent down, used the clear stream water on the lake as a mirror and looked at it. The woman reflected in the water has bright eyes and bright teeth, but her simple and casual hair scattered in the morning because of the beginning of running. Looking down at the skirt, I don't know where it was stained with soil while running, and there were some gray-brown things on the edge of the embroidered shoes.

"Hmm. Go back and prepare first." The hand casually pulled the hair around the scattered ears and raised his feet to go first.

Xuanyuanchen looked a little embarrassed, but his movements were naturally incomparable, and he was not annoyed by these stains at all. This woman never seems to care about her own embarrassment or anything else. What does she care about? Lanxiang? Su Mu? Lan Ruofeng... What about himself? He couldn't help asking in a low voice in his heart, is there a place for him?

Of course, he can't get an answer. Because the figure has gone further and further, it is impossible to hear it. Xuan Yuanchen looked at the Rosemary courtyard, and the stained smile at the corners of his mouth became bigger and bigger. One day he would know that when no one could hurt him again.

Taihe Hall. As soon as Murong Qingqing arrived at the door, a bodyguard knelt down: "The Empress is a thousand years old!"

Murong Qingqing asked with a good temper, "Is the emperor in there?" But...is there anyone else?" When she asked this, she suddenly fell in a bad mood.

"I told the Empress, the Empress Die had come before and then left." The guard said.

Listening to this, Murong Qingqing was a little disappointed. She really came here. In the past, only she was allowed to come to the place where the emperor criticized the memorial. Isn't she his privilege now?

I lost these thoughts, thought about the family banquet that the Empress Dowager told me today, and walked in.

Xuanyuan Che had already heard the voice of asking, put down the pen, moved his sore shoulder, and said, "The queen is here."

Seeing that he was tired, Murong Qingqing walked a few steps quickly. As usual, he pinched Xuanyuan Che's shoulder and said, "I don't remember to rest. I'm tired after watching for so long."

Xuanyuan Che enjoyed it, folded one hand gently on her hand and said, "You still know me best and know what I need most." Close your eyes and enjoy the strength on your shoulders.

Murong Qingqing didn't say anything, and then said, "The mother said that tonight's family banquet, let's go there early tonight to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lin'er."

"Hmm. Lin'er's girl just doesn't like to stay in the palace. She has been away all year round. Her mother wants her to accompany her in the palace, but she is afraid of binding her. It's not easy to come back. The mother is happy. Xuanyuan said carelessly.

"After you spend more time with your mother, she has nothing to do alone every day. As she is old, her mind is becoming more and more difficult to figure out." Xuanyuan Che has always been a little afraid of the empress dowager, partly because her mother was born; the other part is that his throne should sit safely, and her mother has also made a lot of efforts from it.

"My concubine knows." Murong Qingqing replied.

"Yes, you go down first. I'll go after I finish these things." Xuanyuan Che suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes and said.

"Yes." Stop the massage hands and do not move.

Xuanyuan Che knew the unhappy in her heart and patted her hand as a sign of comfort. After she left, she said to the eunuch outside the door.

"Come on, let's go to the palace."

In the imperial concubine's palace, the imperial concubine sat in the right position, picked up the tea at hand, and took a small mouth. Looking at the door, his expression was indescribable and careless.

"Madam, do you want to prepare dinner? What would you like to eat tonight? The beautiful maid asked.

"You can just give this kind of work to others. You don't have to do everything yourself." Rosemary scolded, but there was a faint heartache in her tone.

"The maidservant is fine, and I don't worry about asking others to prepare. There is no harm in being more careful about everything. Be more careful here. After saying that, he turned around and went out to prepare.

This figure is what Lan Ruoyan saw in the garden, but why does this small body look like a person? Lanxiang?! Why is she here?

"The emperor is here!" After a while, there was a sound outside.

Rosemary smiled, went out to greet him, bent down and said, "Hlessed emperor!"

"Won, get up! Don't be polite."

"Why did the emperor come here so early? My concubine is preparing to eat. Is the emperor eating here, too?" Rosemary smiled.

"You don't have to prepare. I'm here to take you to eat. You can prepare it." He said softly.

Rose is confused. Where should I prepare to eat? She opened her eyes wide and looked at Xuanyuan Che confusedly, a little puzzled.

Xuanyuan lowered his body and said, "Tonight at the Empress Dowager's family banquet, we will go to eat together. Princess Lin is also here. My concubine hasn't seen her yet."

Rosemary looked embarrassed. Did she go to the family banquet held by the Empress Dowager?

"Is it okay for the emperor to do this? The Empress Dowager..." She knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like her, so she went.

"It's okay. I'll take you there. Will anyone say anything?" He took Rosemary into his arms and said.

"Well...okay." Xuanyuan Che couldn't see Rosemary's face, only as if she was worried, but the face hidden behind her. The smile was very deep, as if it was because of the pleasure of succeeding.

Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager sat in the upper seat and looked at the queen sitting below, Xuanyuansheng, Xuanyuanlin, Xuanyuanchen and Lan Ruoyan talking and laughing.

It's getting late, "Queen, why can't you come? Didn't you tell him?" The Empress Dowager is obviously a little unhappy. So many people are waiting for him. Even if he is the body of all saints, at least she is still the Empress Dowager!

"After returning to my mother, I told the emperor that the emperor would come over after dealing with those government affairs." But later, when she asked again, the emperor had gone to someone else's palace. How could she say this in front of so many people?

After hearing this, he was a little slow-down and said, "Then let's wait. If not, send someone to ask how long it will take."

"The emperor is here! Empress Diefei is auspicious!" Outside the door, there was a sharp sound.

As soon as everyone heard the voice in front of them, their faces were happy. When they heard the concubine behind them, their faces sank one by one. Only Xuanyuanlin looks like a pair. Who is this? Why is it that I have never heard of the look and Xuanyuanchen's smile?

"Mother, my son is late." Xuanyuan Che came and said to the Empress Dowager.

Only the Empress Dowager sat in the upper seat and did not move, and the rest of the people got up one after another to ask.

"Let's sit down. At today's family banquet, you don't have to pay attention to these common gifts. Today, there is no empress dowager, no emperor, only a family of ordinary people. The Empress Dowager said and turned to Rosem, "I don't know what Concubine is here for? I remember that I didn't call you.

She has seen more or less the queen's appearance these days, and she doesn't like roses. The whole is a fox charming son. The emperor's soul has been hooked by her these days, and now she has come to her. Anyway, she has to suppress it.

Rosey looked at Xuanyuan Che aggrievedly and said to the empress dowager, "My concubine is the imperial concubine, that is, the empress dowager's daughter-in-law. At the Empress Dowager's family banquet, my daughter-in-law just wants to stay with her family more.

The Empress Dowager smiled disdainfully and said, "I can't stand this heart of Concubine Die. With the queen here, I'm afraid that Princess Die is not qualified to stay here.

Xuan Yuan Che's words were a little too much when he saw his mother. Besides, the beautiful woman also called her by himself and said, "Queen Mother, this is a family banquet. It's my minister who asked Princess Die to come over. She is my concubine. It's not too much to come."

Murong Qingqing saw the rosemary appear, and a person was sad. Now he saw Xuanyuan Che saying good words for her, and she felt even more sad and lowered her head and said nothing.

Lan Ruoyan found that such Murong Qingqing was completely different from Murong Qingqing, whom she knew before, who was very happy to jump away from the queen every day. Under the table, he shook the queen's hand worriedly and comforted her.

The queen gently shook her hand back, smiled at her, and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"Sit down and come here. Forget it this time." When the Empress Dowager saw that Xuanyuanlin had been winking at her in the dark and asked about the situation, she could not do too much to spoil everyone's interest and sent a message.

Since Rosemary, Lan Ruoyan's eyes have never left her. She doesn't know what means Rosemary has done. In a short life, Xuanyuan Che is so infatuated with her, and she feels that this woman is really not simple. Murong Qingqing, a cheerful person, may not be her opponent, but instead of Xuanyuanchen.

Seeing that Xuanyuanchen did not speak or look at Rosemary from beginning to end, this man deliberately sent Rosemary to the emperor's side must have his intention. Didn't Xuanyuan Che find it at all?
