The summer is hot, and there is a touch of heat in the air. Days like this are the most boring.
After Bai Qiqian dressed up, she took Ziyuan to attend the official banquet.
Ye Liyuan ascended the throne for the first time, and people's hearts were unstable.
The official banquet that was supposed to be held in spring has been postponed to now. In order to appease the hearts of the officials, Ye Liyuan paid special attention to this official banquet. In the harem, all the concubines of the third rank and above must participate in this banquet. The official banquet was held to show the importance the monarch attached to the world's officials.
At the banquet, people were talking and laughing.
What's more, they talk loudly at banquets, with such high spirits, they point the country and criticize Fang Qiu.
Bai Qiqian raised his eyes and looked at Ye Liyuan, with a reassuring smile on his lips.
Ye Liyuan sat on a high seat, glanced at Bai Qiqian who was not far from him, and quickly looked away, looking a little absent-minded.
After a while, Su Wanliang walked in from the outside with small steps. Ye Liyuan's tense face finally relaxed. He walked down from the high position, personally greeted Su Wanliang, and held her hand. He asked softly: "Susu, why are you so late today?"
The tenderness of caring and careful protection hurt Bai Qiqian's heart.
Concubine Yun comforted and said: "Fuyao, let her be proud now. Then, we will see how she fell to death from a high place."
Bai Qiqian grinned and said, "Yunran, don't worry, I'm fine."
Their words fell into the ears of the two people wordlessly. Su Wanliang snuggled sweetly next to Ye Liyuan, pretending to be shy and said: "Your Majesty, today I painted red plum makeup, so it was delayed for some time. .”
Ye Liyuan looked at her carefully. She was wearing red clothes, with a red plum standing proudly on her forehead.
Sure enough, she is a bit more charming than usual.
Hongshang was lonely. I don't know why, but the image of Bai Qiqian in her gorgeous clothes that day came to mind.
They obviously have very similar faces, but she is the only one who can dress up in that red dress so enchantingly and beautifully. With his heart moving at will, Ye Liyuan couldn't help but look at Bai Qiqian.
Today, she is as elegant as a chrysanthemum, dressed in white clothes, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world.
The eyes were full of confusion, as if he was missing, as if there was nothing, like a deep lake.
Su Wanliang sat next to Ye Liyuan, wondering what was said in Ye Liyuan's ear, and Ye Liyuan's face was filled with a smile.
Bai Qiqian held the wine glass tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to crush it.
Today, Ye Ruochen is also wearing white clothes, with elegant bamboo embroidery on the cuffs, adding a bit of elegance. The once romantic prince has now lost his temper.
Hong Luan followed Ye Ruochen with a dignified look on his face.
Ye Liyuan glanced at Hongluan, with no big expression on his face.
During the banquet, Hong Luan walked up to Bai Qiqian, with a hint of deep meaning hidden in her smile: "Jiuwu, you didn't expect that in this deep palace, there would be a woman with a similar appearance to you, and it seems that she has taken over the night for you. Where is Li Yuan’s favor?”
Bai Qi said lightly: "You seem to have known about her existence for a long time, so you only kindly persuaded me to leave without imposing any objection."
Hongluan's smile was filled with resentment: "Jiuwei, you should understand how much I like to see you in pain."
Bai Qiqian drank all the wine in the glass: "It's a pity that I have to disappoint you."
Hong Luan smiled nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if you disappoint me, at least he will be happier when he sees you happy."
Bai Qiqian looked in the direction of Ye Ruochen. After not seeing him for a while, he seemed to be much thinner than before. Ye Ruochen, if the person I fell in love with was you, then how happy we would be.
He has been working very hard to expect Bai Qiqian to fall in love with him, and for this reason, he has done many things.
However, she never fell in love with him.
What happened in the woods ten miles away was the worst thing he had done in his life. He thought that if Ye Liyuan died, Bai Qiqian would change his mind. After all, time can heal all wounds.
However, he didn't expect that the person who fell into the cliff in the end was Bai Qiqian, his Fuyao.
As long as she was alive, he decided to let her go and let himself go.
Half a year later, when he was sent as an envoy to the Split Zhang Kingdom, he saw the face that he thought about day and night. His heart fell into despair once again.
He knew that her heart could only accommodate Ye Liyuan, but her heart, which had been hurt a thousand times, was still unwilling to give in. She still thought humbly that maybe she would like him a little bit.
The marriage edict was her masterpiece. From the beginning to the end, she was on guard against herself. She was afraid that he would force her to stay again, so she chose to take action first.
At that time, his heart ached, the pain was unbearable.
Fuyao, why are you so stupid? You are still staying where you are. Unfortunately, someone has taken your place next to Ye Liyuan.
On the day she got married, Ye Ruochen gave himself one last chance and also gave her a chance to choose.
He ran to the palace like crazy and asked her if she would leave with him.
She just shook her head and whispered to him that things in the world are impermanent.
Things in the world are unpredictable, so let all this go with the wind. He believes that she will one day win back the love that belongs to her. Ye Ruochen smiled softly at Bai Qiqian, with relief in his eyes.
Hong Luan drank strong wine, Jiu Wai, Ye Ruochen loves you so much, how could you be willing to hurt him to such an extent.
Bai Qiqian rubbed the center of her eyebrows, trying to find a reason to retreat.
At this time, she heard Ziyuan whisper in her ear: "My queen, look at the new number one scholar."
Bai Qiqian came back to her senses and looked towards the new champion.
The number one scholar was gentle and elegant, and showed great talent. I heard that he was very talented in literature and was deeply liked by Ye Liyuan. Thinking of this, Bai Qiqian couldn't help but smile. There was no difference between the people Ye Liyuan liked.
Ziyuan bent down slightly and whispered in Bai Qiqian's ear: "My Lady, do you feel that the Number One Scholar and the maid next to Concubine Su are somewhat similar?"
Bai Qiqian couldn't help but look towards the high position.
She looked back and forth, and there was indeed some similarity between their brows.
Ye Liyuan saw Bai Qiqian looking here frequently, and was stunned. He also looked towards her, and when he met those innocent eyes, he felt a little lost for a moment.
Women have always been a little sensitive, and Ye Liyuan's subtle emotions did not escape Su Wanliang's eyes. She followed Ye Liyuan's gaze and caught a glimpse of the smile at the corner of Bai Qiqian's mouth, and her teeth itched with hatred.
It was obvious that her appearance was very similar to hers, but Ye Liyuan never showed a distracted look in his eyes when he faced her.
Su Wanliang turned her body to block Ye Liyuan's view.
He took out a grape from the plate, peeled it off, and handed it to Ye Liyuan's mouth: "Your Majesty, I think this is very sweet, please have a taste."
Ye Liyuan came to his senses and took the grapes on Su Wanliang's fingertips with his mouth.
Bai Qiqian felt a touch of sourness in her heart when she saw how they were in love.
She stood up, saluted Ye Liyuan, and then left.
As soon as she left, Concubine Yun followed her and left the banquet together.
Ye Ruochen looked at her back, and then at Ye Liyuan who was in a high position, his eyes full of doubts. Why didn't Ye Liyuan cherish her since she was back?
Hong Luan glanced at him: "Why, do you feel bad when you see her so lost?"
Ye Ruochen nodded seriously: "Yes, I feel distressed, but what can I do?"
The words he wanted to say were already on his lips, but he choked back his words again.
Hong Luan raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. As expected, wine is the best thing in this world. As long as you are drunk, you don't have to think about anything.
Ye Ruochen watched her pour one glass after another, and finally reached out and snatched the wine glass from her hand: "Drink less, it will hurt your health."
Hong Luan smiled bitterly: "Ye Ruochen, do you really not understand, or what? Your heart has been broken, do you still care about this body?"
Ye Ruochen frowned, his brows filled with cinnabar like fire: "That's all, you can drink if you want. When you're drunk, don't point at me and take you back."
Hong Luan tilted her head: "Aren't you afraid that I'll get drunk and embarrass you?"
The last time they got drunk at night, the two of them drank to relieve their sorrows, but they staged a farce. Although Hong Luan never mentioned anything about holding Ye Ruochen responsible, Ye Liyuan still named Hong Luan as his wife.
Concubine.
In Prince Chen's Mansion, there is only Hongluan, a concubine.
Ye Ruochen said nonchalantly: "You yourself are not afraid of losing your composure, so what should I be afraid of?"
Hong Luan pouted and said nothing, but she was very obedient and did not pour any more wine. She quietly enjoyed the singing and dancing at the table with a slight smile in her eyes.
She will keep the tenderness he gave her in her heart and recall it slowly.
Bai Qiqian was walking in the imperial garden, recalling the various situations during the banquet. The expressions on her face were ever-changing, and the expression in her eyes was also dark and unpredictable.
Ziyuan asked cautiously: "Empress, are you okay?"
Bai Qiqian turned her head, a little confused: "What can happen to me?"
Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay. I just thought you were sad when you saw the emperor and Concubine Su."
Bai Qiqian smiled: "Forget it, this scene happens several times every day. If I think about it all day long, wouldn't it make me sad to death?" Anyway, the person Ye Liyuan loves most in his heart is always himself.
Ziyuan asked curiously: "Empress, what were you thinking about just now?"
Bai Qiqian's eyes touched the confused sea of purple flowers in the distance: "I'm wondering if there is any relationship between today's new top scholar and the personal maid next to Su Fei? If there is a relationship, maybe we can use the relationship between them.
, find a breakthrough from that maidservant to find out about Concubine Su."
Hearing this, Ziyuan nodded and said, "Mother, I will send people from the Moon Palace to investigate tonight."
Bai Qi said lightly: "That's the only way it can be."
I really hope that the people in the Moon Palace can find out something, so that I will have fewer obstacles in dealing with Su Wanliang's matter.
Ziyuan suddenly pointed to the light green figure in front of her and said with some surprise: "Your Majesty, isn't that Imperial Concubine Yun?"
Concubine Yun stood in front of a sea of flowers, her shoulders hunched slightly, as if she was crying.
Ziyuan was about to step forward, but was pulled back by Bai Qiqian: "Ziyuan, everyone has their own secret."
Bai Qiqian stared at the light green figure and turned around: "Let's go back."
