Today, the palace is decorated with lanterns and streamers, all red and full of joy. Everyone's face is filled with smiles. This is not about which princess is getting married or which prince is getting married. This is just to celebrate the eldest princess and her hairpin.
This is indeed an exaggeration. An ordinary hairpin was made like this. Even if the eldest prince reached a weak age, the emperor would not be so exaggerated. This is enough to show the emperor's love for the eldest princess.
In Ranyue Palace, a white figure sat inside. The cloud-like hair spread down diagonally, covering the entire back. There was no decoration on the dark hair. The owner of the hair was not even a simple figure.
She didn't even want to tie up her simple bun. She just let it hang loose. In front of her forehead, there was only the eldest princess's forehead ring, which symbolized her identity.
She is Mu Qiran, the eldest princess of Zhaomu Kingdom.
"Princess, it's already late. All the officials are waiting for you." The maid Shao Zi shouted nervously. It was already very late when the princess got up. But they didn't dare to wake her up. They could only wait. Now they can't
It's probably too late to go.
"So what if you let them wait?" Qiran said slowly. There was an indescribable laziness in his voice.
"This..." Shaozi had only been with Qiran for two days, and she was already familiar with Qiran's temper. No one could change anything decided by the eldest princess. When she wanted to persuade the eldest princess, she failed.
Listen to Qi Ran say:
"It's really getting late, let's go."
At that moment, the little maid really burst into tears of gratitude.
When Qi Ran walked slowly to Suiyan Palace, everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Ran.
She is wearing a white dress, made of fine fabric, but the style is very simple and nothing new. However, this kind of dress, when worn on Qi Ran, is particularly elegant, like an immortal descending to earth. Like ink.
Her jade-black long hair danced in the wind, and the white veil covered half of her face, but her outline could be vaguely seen.
In front of her forehead, the white forehead ring with a ruby in the middle showed her extraordinary identity.
"I have met the eldest princess. The eldest princess is a thousand years old." All the ministers stood up and knelt down one after another.
"No gifts." Qiran said lazily, not even bothering to raise his hand.
"Thank you, Princess!"
When Qiran raised his head, he saw the gazes of the princes focused on Qiran. The gazes of these princes were particularly hot, as if they wanted to know what kind of stunning face was underneath that thin veil.
.
Qiran smiled at their looks.
Speaking of which, this was the first time she had seen these so-called royal brothers. The last time she was enthroned as the eldest princess, she had not seen them. Although her status was more valuable than theirs, she could not have the proper etiquette.
forget.
"Qi Ran, please see my father, the empress. See my brother." Qi Ran bowed Yingying, her voice as sweet as clear flowing water. However, she did not call her the queen or queen. In Qi Ran's mind, except for her mother,
No one else is worthy of being her queen mother!
"Ran'er is so polite." Mu Heqiu chuckled and quickly helped Qi Ran up and let her sit next to him.
As soon as Qi Ran sat down, he felt a hot and hateful gaze. Looking towards the gaze, Qi Ran found a woman. The woman was sitting on his right hand.
She was a fairly beautiful woman. Because she didn't know how to dress up, she looked very tacky, covering up her original beauty. What's more, this woman who looked to be only 23 or 24 years old was wearing tacky clothes that only middle-aged women wear.
Bright red.
Qi Ran knew her. She was the concubine Li who called Qi Ran a "bastard" in the imperial garden and was later punished by her father.
Qi Ran kowtowed slightly and said with a distant smile: "I have met Empress Li."
Not only that, Li Fei gave a disdainful "scoff" and said: "Pretending."
The voice of this sentence was neither loud nor small, but not too small. The civil and military officials below did not hear it, and the princes who were a little further away did not hear it. The emperor, who was sitting next to Qiran, heard everything clearly.
Chu.
As soon as the words came out, the emperor's eyes widened and he shouted sternly: "Concubine Li, what did you say?"
Concubine Li, who was originally very powerful, immediately shrank into a ball in fear and said in a nervous and charming voice: "Your Majesty, I am a concubine. I am a concubine and I didn't say anything."
"Do you think I am deaf?" Mu Heqiu frowned.
Concubine Li quickly lowered her head and whispered: "I know I was wrong."
Mu Heqiu ignored her. After glancing down a few times, Mu Heqiu said loudly: "Today, I would like to thank all of you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the eldest princess's birthday banquet."
The so-called haircut is just a birthday party for the fifteenth year old.
"It is a great joy that the emperor's beloved daughter, who has been lost for many years, has been found. Now how can I not come to the eldest princess's birthday banquet?" A well-built minister said to Mu Heqiu charmingly, and then he started talking.
After a turn, the tone remained unchanged: "Princess, this is a small gift from Wei Chen to you. Please accept it with pleasure. Although this small gift is not worth much, it is a small gift from Wei Chen."
Regarding this "small gift", Qi Ran just pointed at it and said: "Put it there." Qi Ran still knew how much this gift was worth. The things inside must be valuable.
Then, some wealthy ministers stepped forward and presented birthday gifts that they had carefully prepared for a long time.
At this joyful moment, Minister Li, who had always been loyal to the country, spoke: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report, but I don't know whether to tell it or not." This Minister Li gave Qi Ran a very good impression, and he was an upright official.
Mu Heqiu raised his eyebrows in displeasure: "Today we only talk about happy events, not state affairs..."
"Wait a minute." Qiran suddenly spoke, interrupting her father's unfinished words. She said softly: "Since Li Aiqing has something important, don't hold back, just say it directly."
Minister Li raised his head and looked at Qiran for a long time. Finally, Minister Li said: "Jinshui Kingdom has attacked our country many times and occupied several counties in our country. Our general was accidentally assassinated by the enemy a few days ago."
"Seriously?" Qi Ran opened his eyes suddenly.
"Everything I said is true," Minister Li said loyally.
Qiran thought for a while and made a quick decision: "Three days later, I will personally take command and go out to attack Jinshui Kingdom."
"Ran'er, you..." The emperor was a little angry. He was not angry that Qi Ran made the decision without authorization, but that Qi Ran didn't cherish his own life. He said quickly: "Mu Yanzhe, you go."
Qiran smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, my eldest brother has always been weak, so I should go. I have made up my mind, and there is no need to stop me."
