Chapter 55
The imperial garden was extremely lively, and the banquet location was preset at the center of the imperial garden. It was a huge lotus pond. Since the season of lotus blooming was almost over, there were only a few lotus flowers standing in the pond. water surface.

On this lotus pond, there is also a huge pavilion on the water. When you walk from a distance, you can see some court ladies and eunuchs coming and going, constantly carrying some fruits and drinks to the pavilion.

Since the banquet has not yet officially started, the courtiers and their family members who arrived earlier will all be in the imperial garden, chatting with familiar colleagues while waiting for the banquet to start.

It was also the first time for Wen Qian to see a banquet in this palace with her own eyes. When she saw that the garden was full of people, she immediately lost her confidence and lay motionless in Chu Nanxiao's arms. She completely lost her usual vivacity. .

Chu Nanxiao was the last to come over, but he became the focus of the audience as soon as he came, and the reason was naturally because of the white wolf in his arms.

Chu Nanxiao turned a blind eye to the strange gazes cast on her by everyone, and didn't seem to care at all, but felt that the white wolf in her arms seemed not to adapt to the atmosphere here, so she carried her to the edge of the pool , away from those people.

"Lord Xiao"

He had just arrived at the lotus pond when suddenly a woman's voice called him from behind.

Hearing this voice, Chu Nanxiao frowned immediately, and immediately guessed who the owner of the voice was. She paused for a moment before turning her head, and she saw Zhang Qianyu walking towards her.

"Master Xiao, why did you come so late? Yu'er thought you wouldn't come!" Zhang Qianyu said to him in a coquettish tone.

Looking at the woman in front of her, Wen Qian felt a little familiar, and then she remembered after careful thought that she was the girl who brought her maid to the mansion to find Chu Nanxiao when she first arrived in Xiao Wang's mansion.

She was able to come to the palace banquet
From the last time I saw Zhang Qianyu in the palace, Wen Qian knew that she liked Chu Nanxiao, but she didn't expect that she would dare to run over so blatantly in such a large crowd, without avoiding other people's gaze at all!

Sure enough, the ancients' reservedness is all fake?
Wen Qian couldn't help slandering herself in her heart, but at this moment, she heard Chu Nanxiao calmly reply: "Miss Zhang, there are so many people here, you can find me so quickly, you have really good eyesight."

Hearing this, Zhang Qianyu immediately covered her mouth and let out a coquettish smile, and said, "It's not because I have good eyesight, it's because you are too attractive today!" As she spoke, her eyes fell on the white ball in his arms. on top of things.

Just now, she saw that the thing Xiao Wangye was holding was a bit familiar, but now she took a closer look, and then realized that the thing he was holding at this time was the wolf she saw in Xiao Wang's mansion that day!

Seeing that her eyes fell on the white wolf, Chu Nanxiao remembered something now, and couldn't help laughing at herself from the bottom of her heart.It's really hard for people not to notice me with such a conspicuous guy.

In this short period of time, Zhang Qianyu was quite sure that she did not admit her mistake, and she was sure that it was the white wolf who frightened her and fled from Prince Xiao's mansion that day!

At this point, when she saw the white wolf, her face suddenly became a little ugly, and then she looked at Chu Nanxiao, and asked with an embarrassed expression: "My lord, why did you bring him here?"

Chu Nanxiao looked at the white wolf when she heard the words, and then saw Zhang Qianyu's expression was not quite right, she understood something in her heart, looked at her pretending to be puzzled and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Seeing that he looked like he didn't know what was wrong, Zhang Qianyu immediately said to him: "Of course not! This is a palace banquet, not a street performer. What if something happens to you if you bring such a thing into the palace?" ?”

She was almost bitten by this thing last time, and because it threw away all the cakes that were going to be given to Lord Xiao, it made herself so ashamed, but she didn't want to see it anymore!
I really don't know what Prince Xiao was thinking, he actually brought it into the palace!

After hearing what she said, Wen Qian immediately became unhappy, staring at her with a pair of flooded eyes, thinking: "What is such a thing? You are the thing, your whole family is a thing! ""

Just when Wen Qian was unhappy, displeasure flashed across Chu Nanxiao's eyes, and what she said immediately left Zhang Qianyu speechless for a long time in shock.

"Didn't the invitation say that you should bring your family to come? Lang'er is the king's favorite pet, so it can be regarded as the king's family, even if it is the king's family, so why does the king bring her to the banquet?" Can't?"

"What?" Zhang Qianyu was stunned, looked at the white wolf in disbelief, and finally squeezed out a smile and said: "Master Xiao, you must be joking again, how can it be regarded as a family member, it is just a "

"The king is willing to treat her as a family member, she is the king's family member!"

Before she finished speaking, Chu Nanxiao directly interrupted her, then took two steps back to keep a distance from her, and then said: "Miss Zhang, there are many people here, I advise you to be more self-respecting, You haven't left the cabinet yet, so you can't ruin your reputation because of this king."

After finishing speaking, he didn't give her another chance to say anything, took Wen Qian and left the place, walked straight to the pavilion in the middle of the pool, left the people behind there, and was injured alone,
What Chu Nanxiao said just now really made Zhang Qianyu feel very hurt. How could he use words like self-respect to tell her? She is not the kind of shameless person. She doesn't care if it is someone else, she just wants to get closer That's all he is!

"Yu'er, the palace banquet will start soon, what are you doing standing here alone?" Zhang Qianyu's mother walked over at this time, and seeing her daughter standing here foolishly, she stepped forward and asked One sentence.

"Mother." Hearing her mother's call, Zhang Qianyu returned to reality, turned around and buried herself in her mother's arms sadly.

"Child, what's wrong with you? Stop crying, it's a joke for people to see later."

Zhang Qianyu's mother didn't know what was wrong with her. Seeing her crying in her arms, she quickly patted her on the back to comfort her. On the one hand, she had to pay attention to the scene around her so that no one could see her.

Standing in the corridor leading to the pavilion, Wen Qian saw Zhang Qianyu's situation from a distance, and couldn't help but raised her head to look at Chu Nanxiao, but she didn't seem moved at all.

What a cruel man!How can I say that Ms. Zhang is also a beautiful woman like a flower like a jade, so he can say such hurtful things, I really don't know how to pity her!
Although she thinks so now, when she saw him rejecting Zhang Qianyu just now, she was quite happy in her heart.

Maybe, this is a person's selfish possessiveness!I don't know when she started to have this kind of possessive mentality towards Chu Nanxiao, and she doesn't like to see other girls deliberately approaching him.

"The emperor and empress dowager have arrived"

The banquet was about to begin, and following the screams of the eunuch in charge, the Empress Dowager and the emperor came to the imperial garden together, and all the officials immediately knelt down to pay homage.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The empress dowager is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

The queen mother took the little emperor's hand and said to the ministers: "Get up." She led the little emperor to the pavilion on the water.

At this time, Jiang Wenxin followed the Queen Mother, and glanced at everyone present, but she didn't see Chu Nanxiao's figure, so she followed the Queen Mother while looking around for his figure.

Seeing this, all the ministers stood up quickly and followed them together, and finally came to the pavilion. After the queen mother sat down first, they walked to their own positions according to their official titles.

At this point, Jiang Wenxin finally saw Chu Nanxiao, seeing that he really came with the white wolf in his arms, she was not very happy, but in front of so many people, no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't show it.

"Since everyone is here, let's take a seat, don't stand up." The Empress Dowager spoke after sitting down, everyone responded and sat down one after another, Chu Nanxiao was no exception.

After everyone was seated, the maids immediately brought up the delicacies prepared by the imperial chef and delivered them to every table present, soon filling up the tables in front of them.

Looking at the dazzling array of delicacies in front of her eyes, Wen Qian has no appetite at all.

Because from just now, she has been feeling that there is a gaze staring at her coldly, and this gaze is not from someone else, but from Jiang Wenxin!
Although Jiang Wenxin didn't show any abnormalities on the surface, the hatred in those eyes couldn't be completely concealed.

She remembered that she hadn't offended this concubine Jiang, why did she look at herself with such hatred, it made her feel numb.

Wen Qian was thinking this way, and then the queen mother also noticed Chu Nanxiao's side, and saw the white wolf. After thinking about it, she said to this side: "Regent, you are the highlight here today! You are holding Is that the spirit beast you got?"

Hearing the queen mother's question, Chu Nanxiao looked down at the white wolf, then turned her head to look over there and replied, "I don't know who told the queen mother that I got some spirit beast recently, but in fact it's just another beast. Just an ordinary white wolf."

"Although she has some spirituality, it would be an exaggeration to say that she is a spirit beast."

After hearing what he said, the queen mother had a look of disbelief: "Oh? Is that really the case? But that's not what Aijia heard! If the regent really got a spirit beast, he would really use it Don't hide it like this."

The Empress Dowager's words seemed to indicate something, and it was not a particularly important matter, but it was her words at this time that immediately aroused everyone's suspicion of Chu Nanxiao.

Obtaining a spirit beast should be a great thing, so what's there to hide?But if this is true, he, the regent, is hiding it and not telling it, which has to make people suspicious.
