A cold dream is not a dream come true

Chapter 8: Spring Festival Family Banquet

In the next few days, I was imprisoned in Prince Xi's Mansion and grounded.Prince Xi is busy with family banquets in the palace, and has no spare time to take care of me.I also ended up being quiet and at ease.Although I feel aggrieved occasionally, but thinking about myself running out in someone else's clothes with disheveled hair, it's no wonder Prince Xi misunderstood me.After all, I am the fourth-grade Fengyi she officially introduced in front of the emperor, and then I was teased by the emperor, whoever I was would be angry, right?

However, thinking that my first time was actually lost under such circumstances, I was somewhat frustrated.

Prince Cheng probably heard the crown prince mentioned this matter, so he came to visit me once during the confinement period.I mentioned the dimple to him, and he promised to let the prince find out for me.

On the morning of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Tanger woke me up early.I rubbed my eyes and looked at her suspiciously, and she explained: "Miss Meng, you are from a foreign country, so you may not know something. Pingyang Kingdom holds a family banquet on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month every year. As long as you get along with the emperor All relatives will be present. Our lord is the emperor's own sister, so we must go. You and Princess Lu are both the lord's wives and concubines, so we must go to attend."

I listened while putting on my clothes, and asked my long-standing question: "But Prince Xi is a woman, will our identities be accepted by the royal family?"

Tang'er blushed a little when she heard this, she turned her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Miss Meng, actually the late emperor also liked the same sex, so the late emperor adopted many male favorites in the early days of the founding of the country. The current emperor is also a woman who likes girls, and the emperor only listened to the advice of the previous emperor to give birth to the current prince. Today's emperor also has many women in the harem. Among the emperor's relatives, There are very few who don’t have wives and concubines of the same sex. Therefore, Luoyang and the surrounding towns of Luoyang still take this relatively lightly.”

After listening to Tang'er's explanation, he probably understood a lot.It turns out that the Su family has always liked the same sex since the first emperor.Although it is rare in Mengzhou, not many people question it.At least, I accept this life now.

After dressing up, I put the blood hairpin that Prince Xi gave me in my hair, and went out with Tang'er.Two sedan chairs are prepared at the gate of the mansion.Because of today's family banquet, Princess Lu also wants to attend.Concubine Lu followed me out, and I saw that she was wearing a long purple padded gown, with a touch of rouge painted on her face. Although her face was expressionless, she had a special charm.Next to her was the little maid, who held the eldest lady Su Yu in her arms.Su Yu was dressed tightly in a cotton robe, but he still coughed continuously.

"It's time, let's go." Tang'er tugged on my sleeve and whispered.

In the main hall of the palace, the princes, concubines, relatives and relatives of the country have already made preparations. As soon as Princess Lu and I arrived, we were immediately discussed and sighed by many people.Prince Xi had already sat down, but she was still expressionless, sipping tea carefully with a teacup in her hand.As soon as we were seated, the emperor burst out laughing.Then the music sounded, heralding the beginning of the family banquet.

The emperor simply said a few words, and then led to the fact that Murong Ranshu, the princess of the neighboring country to the east, wanted to have a political marriage with Su Yu, the prince of Pingyang.

I widened my eyes and looked at the woman next to the prince. This woman was wearing a loose pink robe with a wide belt around her waist, and a butterfly flower bloomed behind the belt.The hair is neatly coiled behind the head, forming a big bun.The complexion is fair and rosy, the eyebrows are slender but a bit sharp, the eyes are like peach blossoms but a bit frivolous, and the whole person looks exotic.Miss Murong kept pouring wine for the prince, as if trying to curry favor with him.

I looked at the prince next to him, who was frowning and drinking wine.

Seeing that the prince did not respond, the emperor said something else.Then suddenly the subject changed and it came to me.

"This is my Seventh Emperor's sister, Prince Xi, Xinna's Fengyi. Hahahaha!" The emperor looked at me while talking, which made my hair stand on end.

Asked one by one.The imperial meal has been prepared, so I secretly discussed this big family with Tang'er while having the meal.

First of all, sitting next to the prince is the dry prince Su Tianyuan, and next to Su Tianyuan is his daughter Su Zimo.Then came Prince Kang Su Tianzheng.Qian, Prince Kang, and the late First Prince were the sons of the late Emperor and Concubine Jing, and they were the ones who followed the late Emperor to conquer the country.

Then the seventh child, Su Luobing, is Prince Xi, and the eighth child, Su Luoyu, is Prince Cheng.There are also some princesses and princes who have not been crowned kings, and they are all present.

While everyone was eating happily, some princess suddenly sneered and said softly: "Unexpectedly, Princess Xi also participated in the family banquet this year. I thought you would never leave Prince Xi's mansion in your lifetime."

Prince Cheng next to him looked at the speaker, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yihuan, don't bring up this matter again."

The princess known as Yi Huan heard Prince Cheng's words, slapped the table hard, pointed at Princess Lu's nose and cursed: "Lu Jingyan, you little bitch, now you have the face to live in this world, if it weren't for my seventh sister Luo Bing's obstruction, I've already killed you little bitch!"

I was a little shocked when I heard Princess Yihuan's words. After all, this is in the palace hall, under the eyes of the emperor. As a member of the royal family, he can swear such dirty words out of his mouth. This is to despise the emperor.I glanced at Concubine Lu, and found that she was still drinking tea with a blank face, and occasionally picked up vegetables and fed them to the eldest lady Su Yu, as if Princess Yihuan's abuse had nothing to do with her.

I turned my head to look at the emperor again, but found that the emperor was not angry, but smiled and said to the nurse next to me: "The sixth princess is a little tired, take her to the side hall to rest."

Princess Yihuan was taken down, and everyone continued to eat, drink, and enjoy the music of silk and bamboo as if that incident had never happened.

Suddenly, the prince stood up, which surprised Miss Murong.The prince said a few words to the emperor and left his seat.Passing by my desk, he quietly winked at me.When he walked out of the hall, I followed him out.

"His Royal Highness." I ran to the garden and saw the figure of the prince.

"Miss Meng!" The crown prince saw me coming out, and immediately said: "Miss Meng, I have checked all the dancers around my mother, and although there are two from Mengzhou, there is no one named Meng Di. Don't worry, if I find out about Meng Di, I will notify you immediately."

I nodded vigorously, and suddenly remembered about Murong Ranshu, so I asked a question.

The prince vomited bitterness, and greatly ridiculed the emperor's decision and the woman's behavior.Then he talked about Prince Xi's vomiting with him, and kept on talking. While comforting the prince, I was thinking about Die'er.

It seems that the girl is not dimple anymore.So, where did my dimple go?
