Chapter 039: Queen Mother's Birthday Banquet Part 1
This was Yang Xi's first time stepping into the palace after time travel, and the excitement in her heart was clearly written on her little face that was slightly red with excitement.
The legendary palace is indeed very majestic. Although not as grand as the Forbidden City, it has glazed gold tiles, vast red walls, countless beauties, rockery pavilions, endless flowers, and fish swimming in the jade pond, just like a dream.
It is like an illusion, and compared to the lifeless Forbidden City, it is more eye-catching and refreshing.
Since ancient times, who among the emperors does not know how to enjoy pleasure? You can see how lustful and lustful this emperor is by looking at the thin gauze skirts on the colorful palace ladies who shuttle among the civil and military officials.
Both of them are vaguely visible, swaying as they walk
Even her eyes couldn't help but stare at the beautiful and charming legs, not to mention those dignitaries who looked like hungry ghosts in lust. Their lustful eyes lingered on, and they were filled with lust.
He looks like a gangster, which is off-putting.
Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a pair of warning eyes stared at someone from a distance.
That person turned his head as if he was sensing something, and his eyes drifted towards her from afar.
What's the matter, little goblin?
If you dare to look at those warblers, I will gouge your eyes out.
Don't dare, don't dare, I only look at you in this life, be good.
snort!
He hummed with satisfaction, and a proud smile appeared on his lips. He was about to look away when he accidentally met a pair of cold eyes, and the smile suddenly froze on his lips.
Feng Ba, holding the jade cup in his hand, was filled with a cold air that could not be beaten by anyone thousands of miles away. His deep and dark eyes flashed across her face without any trace of nostalgia. He raised the cup and slowly drank the good liquid in the cup, calmly.
Their faces did not change at all because their eyes accidentally touched each other.
Although he chose an inconspicuous corner, and although he did not interact with anyone, that pale green figure, as cold as thousand-year-old ice, easily became one of the few focuses at the banquet.
Back then, he was seriously injured and was hiding in a remote corner of the Sunset Palace to recuperate. No one knew how deep and heavy his injuries were. The outside world only knew that their most powerful general of the Yan Kingdom was slightly injured and returned to the court to recuperate. Now he appears at this birthday banquet.
Yes, the injury must have healed to some extent.
I don't care too much, but I am secretly happy for his recovery.
She didn't take it to heart at all about his intrusion and frivolity that night. He was confused and regarded her as his absent lover. This reason can be forgiven. She has never been a stingy person and would not let herself fall into resentment.
Only by letting go can you live peacefully.
"I heard that he was injured by an arrow and has only recovered in the past few days." The girl sitting opposite her whispered.
The woman next to her also rushed to say: "Dad and I came to visit the day before yesterday. Although we didn't see him in person, we heard from the housekeeper in his house that his injury has been completely healed, but his body is still a little weak, so he still needs to
I have been recuperating in the capital for a while and haven’t had time to return to the border."
As soon as this statement came out, the girls at the table all exclaimed:
"You are so lucky to be able to enter his door. Not long ago, I followed my uncle to visit him, but I couldn't even get in. It makes me sad when I think about it."
"Yes, yes, the butler is so majestic. He said that the General's Mansion is an important military location, but he didn't even let him in."
"I heard people say that it is more difficult to enter the general's palace than to enter the palace."
"That's right, that housekeeper is not reasonable at all, it's really irritating!"
...
This group of unmarried girls in Yunying all glanced at the cold light green figure in the corner with their adoring eyes. The unwillingness and desire in their eyes seemed to want to destroy that slender and handsome figure.
The body was swallowed into the stomach in one gulp.
Who said that only beauties are a disaster? If one is not careful, that blue face may cause more profound harm than the stunning beauty. No, not only the beauties on his table, but also the Yingyings who have not left the palace on the tables next to them.
The Yanyans also kept chattering about the handsome general who was comparable to a god in their eyes, and even tended to get into a fight if they disagreed with him.
He glanced at the figure again, curled his lips, and blurted out: "It's beautiful, but it's too cold."
"That's because your future husband is also one of the three beauties in the imperial city, so he is naturally not interested in the other two beauties."
The person who spoke was Xia Wanwan, the daughter of the Chancellor, who was sitting next to her.
"Three beauties?" This is the first time I heard this new term here.
"I would like to hear the details." But I have never heard of it.
Seeing that her attitude was sincere and not joking, Xia Wanwan took a sip of tea and said softly:
"There are three handsome men in the imperial city. One is the current emperor, the other is the powerful right center defender General Feng, and the third one is your future husband, Prince Murong." As if he was afraid that what he said would be heard by someone who wants to do something good.
After walking away, she lowered her voice and said softly: "This sage has his own rules for selecting concubines, and no one else can get close to them easily. Moreover, most of those rich ladies are not willing to live in the deep palace life where the palace gate is as deep as the sea, so
, His Majesty is naturally excluded from the target by most of the ladies."
"And Prince Murong has been rumored for a long time that he has a fiancée who looks like a fairy but has a heart like a snake. This..." Suddenly thought of something, his eyes opened wide, his red lips closed, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Ahem, cough! I... didn't mean that, you..."
"It doesn't matter." Yang Xi smiled slightly, took her hand, and said softly: "I can't remember the past either."
She still wanted to gossip, how could she stop there.
Xia Wanwan had also heard about the rumor. Seeing her smiling and gentle expression, she breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her eyebrows, and showed an awkward smile. "Don't mind, I've heard all this."
.”
"It's okay, it's okay, just keep talking, I like to hear it." She held her chin, looking forward to it.
Seeing the audience being so entranced, she felt a sense of satisfaction and pride in her heart. Xia Wanwan cleared her throat and continued:
"Just because Prince Murong has a fiancée, and she was given by the late emperor, this relationship cannot be broken even by the Holy Emperor. Therefore, those ladies who want to become the main wife can only give up on this stunningly beautiful man. So,
General Feng, who was unmarried and rumored to have no girl he liked, became the target of thousands of young ladies waiting to be married both inside and outside the imperial city."
