I'm in love with this princess

From the West Street to the East Street, walked through the Qingshiban Road, walked through brocade flowers and fragrant fruits, and entered the depths of the palace in the afternoon.

In previous years, the Qionglin Banquet was held in the West Garden of the Imperial Palace, presided over by the emperor himself, and invited the top [-] new scholars in the imperial examination, as well as the second-rank officials of the imperial court, that is, the chief officials of each department.

This incomparable luxurious feast, no matter where it is held or the people present, are all famous in history.As the number one scholar, Meng Hanxing was the most dazzling presence at the banquet.

This year's Qionglin Banquet has been slightly changed. Due to the serious illness of the emperor, it was presided over by the empress, with the cooperation of the prince, and other personnel remained unchanged.

The emperor didn't come, and the moment Meng Hanxing entered the arena, he felt a strange atmosphere.

There are eight divisions in the imperial court, which are Wen, Li, Nong, Li, Bing, Punishment, Gong, and Law, and each division is headed by a second-rank official.

At the same level, there are Taixue's sacrificial wine, as well as the four generals of Zhendong, Zhenbei, Zhennan, and Zhenxi stationed abroad.

This is a second-rank official who holds real power. Most of the rest of the second-rank officials have only false names and do not hold power. I will not repeat them here, and I will point them out in the future.

The only real power officials of the first rank are the chief assistant and the general of the world's soldiers and horses.

There were a total of ten senior officials present, except for the chief assistant, the other nine were all second rank.

There are also a few older people, Meng Hanxing glanced over, she has seen those people, they are members of the royal family, and they will appear in the palace for any important business of the royal family.

They are not in power, but they represent the entire Jiang family, and the power of the clan is the only force that can force the emperor back.

When Meng Hanxing entered the arena, the queen and prince were already sitting in the upper seats, waiting for them.

Because there were too many people on the road, the time for riding a horse along the long street was protracted, and the scene of the ministers and the empress and princes waiting for them appeared, but today is a good day, so there is no harm in waiting for a while.

Led by Meng Hanxing, the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua entered the arena together. The three of them were wearing bright red official uniforms, which were very conspicuous among the purple official uniforms and the colorful flowers on top.

"My servant sees the empress, the empress is a thousand years old, and the prince is a thousand years old." Meng Hanxing started, bowed to salute, Bo Heng and Wu Lienen followed her and shouted.

It was still neat, and the three of them shouted out their momentum, which was very good.

Meng Hanxing was satisfied. As soon as she finished shouting, she heard the empress's gentle and kind voice, "Quickly excuse me, today's Qionglin Banquet, you are the protagonists, take your seats."

After she finished speaking, Meng Hanxing bowed his head and saluted again. Just as he was about to say thank you to the empress, he heard the queen say something again.

"I am honored to see father and daughter serving as officials in the same court. Meng Zhuangyuan is talented and intelligent, and he is very approachable. It is really Meng Sinong who teaches his daughter well. Today's Qionglin banquet, why keep father and daughter far apart? Why don't Meng Zhuangyuan and It is also a good story to spread the word about Meng Si Nong's seat."

what the hell.

Meng Hanxing frowned immediately, she looked at Meng Jingyan without any trace, she hadn't seen each other for three years, and when they met unexpectedly, Meng Hanxing still recognized Meng Jingyan.

Can you not recognize it? In the past, Meng Jingyan was the person she hated the most. That face was engraved in her heart and melted into her flesh and blood. She wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Between them, there is no warmth like father and daughter meeting each other, but there is resentment like enemy meeting each other.

According to the rules, the champion, the second place, and Tanhua are at the bottom, and the officials are at the top. Let Meng Hanxing sit next to Meng Jingyan, which is to let Meng Hanxing sit at the top, which is really disrespectful.

If Meng Hanxing really sat down, no one would say that the queen was wrong if the news spread. Most people would say that Meng Hanxing didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and wanted to sit with high-ranking officials in the court.

Meng Jingyan remained silent, as if she hadn't heard the queen's words. Meng Hanxing didn't spit out the words of thanking her. The father and daughter reached a strange tacit understanding and became wooden figures together.

The queen looked at Meng Hanxing motionlessly with a peaceful smile. She obviously didn't do anything, but brought an indescribable sense of oppression to the audience. Everyone subconsciously slowed down their breathing, not daring to move easily, for fear of moving , attracting the attention of the audience.

There was a stalemate on the field, Meng Hanxing didn't answer, Meng Jingyan pretended not to hear, and the queen refused to give in, others stood on the sidelines, happy to watch the excitement between the Meng family and the queen.

Meng Hanxing couldn't help it, she turned her gaze to the prince.

Prince Jiang Jun, this year is the year of the dancing elephant, he is generous and courteous, and has an excellent reputation in the court. Many officials privately say that the prince has the virtues of a virtuous king.

Regardless of Jiang Jun's external comments, in Meng Hanxing's view, Jiang Jun's indecisive temperament can help her.

The queen was too impatient.Meng Hanxing complained in her heart, since she entered the palace gate, she didn't even drink her saliva. Fortunately, before she could sit still, the queen directly shot her, trying to use her to attack the Meng family.

Meng Hanxing thought to herself, who is she provoking?It's just a top scorer, so what?The Meng family couldn't tolerate her, the emperor didn't like her, and the queen used her as a raft, wronging her to death.

At this time, the corners of the prince's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to step forward to make a rescue, but just as he wanted to get up, the queen gave him a light look, and he immediately faltered, and then moved his buttocks on the seat, sitting more firmly.

Really, Meng Hanxing swears, she has never seen such a cowardly person!

What about the Lord of the East Palace?What about the prince of the country?You are a prince!How can you be so cowardly!With just one look from your mother, you retreated?Can you still have a little boldness!

No wonder those old foxes praised him for his talent as a virtuous king. He is so cowardly. He can be a virtuous king, but as the future king of a country, how can he succeed with such a character?

The court became more and more quiet. Standing behind Meng Hanxing, Bai Heng was well aware of the quietness of the court. He looked at Wu Lien-en, and if Meng Hanxing and Meng Jingyan didn't talk, the only one who could break the deadlock was Empress Wu. My nephew.

Then Bai Heng saw that Wu Lien's face was pale and his forehead was sweating from the shock of the dead-like silence and heavy atmosphere on the field.

Perhaps the Wu family has cowardice in their bones. Empress Wu did not inherit, but the crown prince and the young son of the Wu family inherited [-]% of it.

How is it good?

The maids and eunuchs who were serving at the side were scared. They had been in the palace for a long time, and they were the most sensitive. When they were on the field, they could smell a bit of murderous aura. It might be faint, but they had a strong sense of presence.

The queen wanted to kill?

"The empress mother didn't inform me about such a lively Qionglin Banquet, and locked me in the Hanyuan Palace. It's really heartless."

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

With a flash in Meng Hanxing's eyes, he turned around immediately and looked at the entrance. The familiar figure was standing there with a lively smile on his face, seeming angry or happy, wearing a tulle dress and hanging around his body, and walking Gently swaying, like the fairy girl in the painting, fluttering down.

Her little fairy daughter Pingyue is here!

"Sixth Imperial Sister, Lianxiang, why are you here?" The prince was surprised, breaking the scene where no one was speaking, and became the first failed wooden man to speak.

Only then did Meng Hanxing notice that beside Jiang Pingyue was her familiar friend—Wu Lianxiang.

It's not that Meng Hanxing's eyes are bad, but that any woman standing beside Jiang Pingyue will be covered by Jiang Pingyue's light, and Meng Hanxing can only see Jiang Pingyue alone.

At the moment when Jiang Pingyue appeared, any scenery and anyone in the world, in Meng Hanxing's eyes, were just Jiang Pingyue's background.

"I've seen my mother, I've seen my brother, today's Qionglin banquet, I come here uninvited in weekdays, I hope my mother, my queen, and my brother will forgive me."

"What are you talking about? You are the sixth princess. Where do you want to go?" The queen said softly, beckoning from a distance, "Come, sit next to the queen mother."

Liu Xin was very discerning and asked the eunuch to move a chair. The eunuch quickly arranged Jiang Pingyue's position, and placed Wu Lianxiang's seat beside the prince.

Wu Lianxiang is the future crown princess, the eunuchs are well aware of this, so naturally they dare not take it lightly, besides, Wu Lianxiang and Jiang Pingyue grew up together and have a very close relationship, Wu Lianxiang is still the empress' niece, for various reasons, Wu Lianxiang's status in the palace is not good Low.

Meng Hanxing was a little confused, to be reasonable, she and Jiang Pingyue also have a very good relationship!Why didn't these eunuchs quickly lead her to her seat!The queen was attracted by Jiang Pingyue at the moment, it happened to be the time for her to sneak away!

"Mother, why isn't there a banquet yet? I'm a bit hungry." Jiang Pingyue felt very distressed seeing Meng Hanxing standing in the arena.

Meng Hanxing rode the horse for half a day, had no water or food all afternoon, and now stood there for a long time, Jiang Pingyue felt distressed just thinking about it, and hurriedly asked the queen to have a banquet.

As long as the queen holds a banquet, Meng Hanxing will naturally return to his seat.

The queen glanced at Jiang Pingyue with a half-smile, and Meng Hanxing's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the queen was suffocating again.

Empress, please open your eyes wide, I'm just a child, the kind of soy sauce, I really can't be a sharp sword in your hand, can you let me go!

Meng Hanxing was a little mentally ill from being hungry, and after thinking about it, his whole body was not well.

"Okay, since Pingyue is hungry, let's start the banquet, and Meng Zhuangyuan will take his seat quickly." The queen specifically mentioned Meng Hanxing, ignoring Wu Lien and Bo Heng who accompanied Meng Hanxing to stand for punishment.

Wu Lianen's face turned even paler. He looked at Wu Lianxiang who was sitting next to the prince. Wu Lianxiang gave him a comforting smile.

Wu Lienen smiled back, and then sat down with Meng Hanxing.Bo Heng remained silent, today he is a bystander, a theatergoer.

Meng Jingyan raised her head and met Linkede's eyes. The two looked at each other and smiled, toasting each other.

After Meng Hanxing sat down, she immediately moved her chopsticks to eat. Her stomach was about to make a sound of protest. If it weren't for her strong willpower, everyone here might have heard a concerto.

Nothing unpleasant happened during the meal. The queen probably didn't bother Meng Hanxing because of Jiang Pingyue's presence, but Meng Hanxing had a premonition that the queen and her affairs would never end.

After the meal, the sun had already set, and today's Qionglin Banquet was temporarily over.

The Qionglin banquet in the Great Zhou Dynasty will be celebrated with high-ranking officials and emperors in the West Garden in the evening, and a teacher appreciation banquet will be held in the West Garden the next day.

The participants this time are mainly the adults of Taixue and the adults of Zhongshu Province.
