Chapter 108 Congratulations to the King! Congratulations to the Queen!
The main hall of Xingqing Palace is extremely lively today. It is well known in the palace that the King's Xingqing Palace never allows any concubines to enter. Today's birthday banquet is held here, and only those concubines and beauties have the ability to enter.
This is Xingqing Palace.【】
The main hall is divided into left and right sides. Sitting on the left are Shan Yuwu, Yu Wentuo, and Xiao Boyi. On the right are the three beauties from Helianzhi's harem, Xiao Guifei, Yu Fei, and Dong Meiren!
Originally Helianzhi only allowed these six people to attend the banquet, but various civil and military officials in the court sent gifts one after another. With Xiao Boyi's invitation, Helianzhi specifically allowed officials of the third rank and above in the court to enter.
Gold was flying in the air, and in the magnificent hall, the sound of singing and dancing was peaceful. Cen Xue wore a peony-thin shisha long skirt that swept the floor. He Lianzhi slowly held his hand and walked into the hall. She was immediately attracted.
caught the attention of the whole audience.
"Wow, Cen Xue is so beautiful today!" Shan Yuwu approached Yuwen Tuo, lowered her head and said to him.
Yuwen Tuo looked at Cen Xue, and then at Shan Yuwu beside him. His face was expressionless and he answered her calmly: "In my heart, she is far inferior to you!"
Yuwen Tuo's answer made Shan Yuwu feel warm in her heart. She lowered her head and smiled slightly, with unconcealable joy in her eyes.
Cen Xue was led by He Lianzhi onto the throne that symbolized the emperor. After the two sat down, a voice of congratulations sounded from below: "I wish the king good health and prosperity for the country!"
"Okay - there will be a reward!" He Lianzhi said majestically, sitting on the dragon chair, his natural aura of a king enveloped the entire hall.
The person who spoke was an unfamiliar face. Judging from her dress, face, and the position where she was sitting, if she guessed correctly, she must be the Miss Dong that Ling'er told her about that day, a woman who was good at singing and dancing.
Dancer!
A word of blessing can lead to a reward, which Cen Xue never expected. He is so generous!
Cen Xue looked at her, and her eyes met Cen Xue at the same time, but Cen Xue could see from her eyes that she was resentful towards him.
This is understandable. Who made the man next to her the king of a country?
In the blink of an eye, Beauty Dong picked up a glass of wine and walked up to them, twisting her waist. The intention was obvious, she just wanted to ### Helianzhi.
"My concubine, thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!" Walking in front of them, Dong Meiren deliberately bent down, and deliberately showed the two plump and plump breasts in front of her body in front of His Majesty's eyes.
"Well, come back and sit down." He Lianzhi was not interested in her at all, but his face darkened and he sent her back.
Dong Meiren thanklessly returned to her seat and sat down, with a look of embarrassment on her face. This actually made Cen Xue scream in her heart, thinking that this would seduce Zhi Zhi's heart. It seems that this woman is not that smart.
go.
"Your Majesty, I wish your Majesty this day every year and this day every year!" Xiao Ling'er also raised her wine glass and congratulated him from her position.
When Cen Xue saw Ling'er holding up the wine glass, she immediately pulled Helianzhi's sleeve and reminded her that Ling'er was not in good health and could not drink.
How could Helianzhi not know this? He held her little hand to reassure her.
"Ling'er, you're not in good health and can't drink. I don't know how you feel." He Lianzhi waved his hand and asked He Cai beside her to replace Xiao Ling'er's wine with a pot of herbal tea on her table.
"Then I will use tea instead of wine." Ling'er replaced it with a cup of tea and drank it with a slow smile.
Helianzhi nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Ling'er is indeed the gentlest and most obedient."
Immediately afterwards, Yuwen Tuo, Shan Yuwu, Xiao Boyi and other ministers took turns toasting to him and congratulating him. Cen Xue sat beside him without resisting and poured wine for him considerately.
During the dinner, Cen Xue deliberately looked at Concubine Yu who had not spoken a word several times. She looked a little special. At first glance, she looked like a foreign woman. Her eyebrows were very similar to those of Uighur women.
She was very quiet, listening to everyone's conversation quietly, and quietly eating the food in her bowl. Only occasionally Ling'er would talk to her for a few words, and she would respond lightly.
"What's wrong with you? You haven't spoken a word?" He Lianzhi suddenly stretched out his arm and hugged her slender waist tightly, seeing that she looked a little disengaged.
"Ah? No, I just think Concubine Yu is a little quiet. She didn't speak just now. It's rare to see you. Shouldn't it be the same as that beauty Dong?" Cen Xue expressed her doubts.
"It doesn't matter, don't pay attention to her, she has always been like this, don't worry!" The only person He Lianzhi cares about now is Lin Cenxue.
Cen Xue nodded obediently, didn't ask any more questions, lowered her head to pick up the food in front of her, and tasted it slowly.
But Beauty Dong didn't seem to give up yet. At this time, a big drum was brought in from the center of the hall. Beauty Dong who was originally sitting in her seat had disappeared. When she appeared in front of everyone again, she had already changed into a red tight dance dress.
, it looks like you are ready to dance on this drum, right?
Cen Xue shook her head helplessly, what did she want to do? There were quite a few tricks, but her moves looked similar to Zhao Feiyan's.
Although she has never seen Zhao Feiyan's dancing, it is said by future generations that she must have superb skills and be as light as a swallow!
The music played slowly, and everyone in the hall was attracted by her dance. Even Helianzhi and Cen Xue were waiting to see her dance.
When everyone's eyes were fixed on one place, in a corner of the hall, there was a pair of eyes glaring fiercely at Cen Xue, who was sitting next to Helianzhi.
"Well..." Cen Xue seemed to feel the hot gaze, and her chest suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Helianzhi noticed that something was wrong with her, so he left her and held her in his arms, asking gently: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, and I always felt like someone was watching me!" Cen Xue frowned, and her intuition told her that this person came with bad intentions.
"Are you overthinking it?" Helianzhi looked around the hall carefully and found nothing strange.
"I hope..." Leaning in his arms, this was the only place where she felt the safest.
Cen Xue was so uneasy that He Lianzhi was not in the mood to watch anymore. He called Zhao Changde and asked him to go down and order the musicians to stop. It was too noisy.
The music suddenly stopped, and Miss Dong, who was still dancing on the drum, was suddenly stunned. Seeing her stunned expression, Helianzhi added: "Go down, don't dance anymore, just go back to your seat and sit down."
, if you don’t want to, you can leave.”
There was silence in the main hall, and everyone could hear what the king meant by these words. The king thought that this beautiful lady Dong was in the way and was upset. If she made her own decisions again, he would drive her away.
In fact, today everyone knows what the king means, and at this moment, they are waiting for the king's words.
Yuwen Tuo and Shan Yuwu looked at each other and smiled, waiting to see what Helianzhi said and everyone's reaction.
Helianzhi looked at the silence below. In this case, it is time: "Today is Gu's birthday, and it is also another good day for Gu. I believe you all know the imperial concubine next to Gu. This time a large number of disaster victims poured into the capital, that is.
The imperial concubine’s ingenious plan has made the victims safe now
The arrangement is ready. It has been vacant since the death of Dong Gong. Now that I have met such a virtuous and talented woman, the position of Dong Gong must belong to the imperial concubine. From now on, according to Gu's decree, the Lin family's imperial concubine will be the queen of our Loulan Kingdom.
Wait for an auspicious day to be chosen, move into Lanling Palace, and have the wedding and coronation ceremony!"
As soon as Helianzhi finished speaking, he heard congratulations from the officials below!
"Congratulations to the King! Congratulations to the Queen!"
"Congratulations to the King! Congratulations to the Queen!"
The sound of blessings echoed throughout the entire hall. Looking at the beautiful woman on the throne, I don't know how many blessings I have accumulated over many lifetimes, but I can make the cruel and unruly king be so doting and tender towards her.
, it also fulfills the ancient saying, "It is difficult for a hero to be a beauty"...
Everyone in the hall was congratulating the king and queen. On the surface, everyone was smiling, but only they knew whether their hearts were as they seemed.
As soon as Dong Meiren returned to her seat, she encountered such a situation. The king wanted to make that woman his queen? In the past, Bai Bingxuan was so favored that the king did not make her his queen. Why would he be so special to this woman now?
She sat in her position without saying a word, her palms under the table had already been firmly clenched, she was unwilling to give in...
She was not the only one who was unwilling. A woman wearing palace maid's clothes ran out of Xingqing Palace in a panic. She couldn't stand it anymore, stumbled all the way into a remote path and disappeared.
In the main hall, Shan Yuwu had a smile on her face. She and Cen Xue walked out of the main hall and sat in the garden. She saw what happened just now and it was clear to onlookers.
"Cen Xue, be careful of those two women." Shan Yuwu sat down and said seriously.
But Cen Xue couldn't quite understand what she said? Two women?
"Concubine Yu and Beauty Dong!" Shan Yuwu reminded her.
"Why? Forget it about Miss Dong, but there doesn't seem to be anything special about Concubine Yu?" Cen Xue thought for a moment and had been observing her reaction just now, but she didn't find anything unusual.
"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts. That woman is not simple. Just listen to me and don't have any contact with them." Shan Yuwu has been in the palace for the longest time. She knows many things, but she doesn't say them directly.
Just come out.
Cen Xue nodded. She must be right to hear what Yu Wu said. After all, she did know everyone here very well.
He Lianzhi was very satisfied with everyone's reaction today. No one objected to his decision, which made him drink happily today!
