Gong Zeci calmly waited for him to continue, but unexpectedly, Gong Yun'ao did not intend to continue talking, but slowly picked up the wine glass and began to drink gracefully.
Being left aside, Miyazawa was a little annoyed, but he still had the forbearance and tolerance of a royal family, so he drank the wine from the glass, pretended to be indebted, and said with self-reproach:
"Third brother, it's the second brother who's sorry for you. If you want to blame, blame the second brother! Although I didn't know about that incident, it was ultimately caused by the second brother. Third brother, if you hate me, I can make you feel better.
, Second Brother also admitted it." After saying that, he returned to his seat lonely.
"Third brother!"
Gong Yun'ao turned sideways and raised his eyes, a chill in his eyes. It turned out to be King Su. He responded calmly: "Fourth."
Gong Junyi raised his wine glass and clinked it with him, then spoke warmly:
"Third brother, happy birthday. Now, third brother, all the hard work has come to an end. My father has paid attention to you again and restored the relationship between father and son. It is worth celebrating. My brother is also happy for you."
As he spoke, his eyes were deep and his handsome face showed no emotion.
Gong Yun glanced at him proudly, with a pair of dark eyes, like an abyss, unable to see the bottom at a glance, and then he said lightly: "Thank you, Fourth."
Gong Yun'ao's sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. If it was as Shu Yao said, the fourth child was the mastermind behind this assassination, then he must have hidden it too well after being in the palace for many years.
He didn't know that the four old men had two faces in front of him and behind him. He always felt that there was a trace of cruelty in Gong Junyi's eyes that outsiders could not see.
Beneath his seemingly warm spring breeze and gentle jade appearance, he actually hides a ruthless and sinister mind. He has been hiding his strength, waiting for the opportunity, and waiting for the opportunity to act.
What is his relationship with Netherworld Mansion? Why can he call out these killers again and again?
Gong Yunao took a sip of wine and chatted casually, "Fourth brother, you are already a grown man. You can't just have a side concubine. When will you marry a main concubine?"
Gong Junyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, isn't the third brother still single?"
Gong Yun Aowu took a sip of wine by himself, with sadness and sorrow between his brows, "You are different from me, Qing Wei... passed away less than two years ago..."
Seeing how sad he was, a trace of sympathy ignited in Gong Junyi's eyes. He put a hand on Gong Yun'ao's shoulder and said comfortingly:
"Third brother, this was an accident. You don't need to be too sad. Your health is important. Third sister-in-law doesn't want to see you like this in heaven."
After saying that, he filled himself up with wine again and drank a glass of wine with Gong Yunao. It looked like the brotherly love was deep and they felt the same.
After a while, the music sounded melodiously in the audience, bells were ringing and chimes were struck, and immediately, people were singing and dancing, and their sleeves were fluttering.
Along with the woman's light and graceful dancing posture, the wide and wide sleeves are opened and closed, which further accentuates her delicate appearance.
Everyone looked at her graceful dance with fascination, almost forgetting to breathe. The girl's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and everyone present sighed.
Shu Yao drank by herself in low spirits. When she raised her eyes, she saw that the girl with her hair tied into a flying bun looked very familiar. When she took a closer look, her eyes suddenly widened.
Yunxiang?
What's going on?
This is a palace after all. Why did Yunxiang enter the palace and dance? Did the whole world come here? Or is it an invitation from the palace?
This seems unlikely!
Shu Yao looked at her steadily. The moment the dancing girl raised her eyes, her eyes happened to collide. They were both stunned. There was a hint of surprise in their intertwined gazes, and an imperceptible knowing smile appeared in their eyes.
Shu Yao stared at her closely, the searching look in her eyes was very obvious.
Shu Wanwan followed her gaze, a smile of success crossed her lips, and said: "My dear sister, looking at your nervous expression, do you think you know that dancer?"
After hearing this, Shu Yao suddenly turned her head and stared at Shu Wanwan with a sharp gaze, while she glared at Shu Yao with a scrutinizing gaze. Their gazes collided in the air, creating a sound of gold and iron clashing.
Shu Yao remained calm and asked sharply: "Shu Wanwan, what do you mean?"
Seeing that she was anxious, Shu Wanwan sneered, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying sarcastically:
"Hahaha! Little sister, you don't know, don't you? She is the most famous person in Pingshan Town in heaven and earth. It is her good fortune to be able to dance in the palace."
Seeing the anger in Shu Yao's eyes, Shu Wanwan suddenly felt extremely comfortable. She said in a strange way: "What? Am I right?"
The meaning behind the words was obvious. Shu Wanwan had actually investigated her?!
What is she going to do at the palace banquet? It's too obvious.
Let's not talk about the palace, which is such a solemn place, and women who are on romantic occasions are not allowed to enter. Let's just talk about it, how did she deceive others and let Yunxiang enter the palace and pretend to be a dancer?
For such a large palace banquet, all the singers and dancers are raised in the palace, and they rarely find outside academies to perform in the palace.
Looking at it this way, it must be another good thing done by King Su.
What are they going to do?
Suddenly, Shu Yao suddenly realized that she was so cruel and would do anything to expose her and discredit her.
However, she would not let them succeed. Shu Yao looked back at Feng Chen. Their eyes met and they both saw each other's worries.
Gong Yun'ao kept looking towards Shu Yao with his cold eyes. He noticed that something was wrong with her face, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
After the dance was over, everyone was in awe.
Yunxiang bowed and prepared to leave.
Yao Qian, the official, took a sip of wine and praised: "This year's dancer is really more interesting than in previous years. This dance is wonderful!"
This person is none other than the personal minister of the second emperor Gong Zeci, and the third-rank official Yao Qian of the Ministry of Personnel who Gong Yun'ao mentioned had suppressed Shu Shihuai.
"Yes! She looks like a fairy with flying arms and legs. She is extremely beautiful."
At this time, Emperor Qing, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at the queen and was full of praise: "The Huayan Festival is in the autumn twilight, and the flying sleeves are flying in the clouds and rain. They are as graceful as orchids and green twigs, and like flying dragons."
At this time, Concubine Rong, who was sitting elegantly under the emperor, with a smile on her face, pointed at Yunxiang with her hand in her sleeve, and said:
"The dance is light and the person is very beautiful. However, this dancer must be new here! She is a bit unfamiliar."
Looking up, the woman sitting next to Qing Huang has a face like a hibiscus, eyebrows like willows, and skin like snow. Her black hair is pulled into a high bun, and her red lips are slightly raised. She is so charming and boneless.
point.
This person is none other than Prince Su's biological mother, Concubine Rong.
Yunxiang, who was turning around to leave, suddenly paused, bowed slightly to salute, and replied respectfully: "Yunxiang, a commoner girl, is not a dancer in the palace."
Concubine Rong smiled back, "That's it, no wonder it looks strange."
Concubine Rong paused and asked: "The dancer at the palace banquet today, I wonder if she invited it from a well-known private studio?"
At this time, Lin Yan, the official of Guanglu Temple who was in charge of the palace banquet, and Jia Renhe, the minister of rites, walked to the front of the palace and bowed.
Lin Xuan said respectfully: "Returning to Concubine Rong, she is the dancer invited by Wei Chen from the people, heaven and earth."
Concubine Rong pretended to be surprised and asked doubtfully: "Oh? Heaven and earth? I have never heard of it. What place is that?"
Lin from Guanglu Temple lowered his head carelessly and replied: "Yes, it is the place of romance among the people - heaven and earth."
The emperor's sharp eyes scanned the ministers in the palace one by one. Suddenly, his rich voice came slowly: "Oh? Which minister is so discerning?"
At this time, Jia Renhe bowed down and said truthfully: "Back to the emperor, it was Lord Shu's daughter Shu Wanwan who recommended me to the minister."
boom
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder resounding through the hall...
Everyone was surprised and said: "Here, Master Shu's daughter has actually been to that kind of place?"
Yao Qian's words were full of irony, "I didn't expect that Mr. Shu, who has always been strict in managing his family, would have a daughter who goes to the land of fireworks..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I really don't know how he disciplines his daughter..."
When Shu Shihuai heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled violently and hurriedly stood up to clarify to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Mr. Jia's nonsense. The daughter of a minor minister has not yet left the cabinet. She is so obedient and well-behaved. How can she go to the land of wind and flowers?"
"Don't you dare slander my daughter!" Shu Shihuai was so angry that he flicked his sleeves, making the gesture look very eye-catching.
Ling Min saw this scene in his eyes and suddenly felt that something was not good. He frowned and scolded: "Master Jia, Master Shu has a strict family tradition. You can't talk nonsense without proof."
Jia Renhe glanced at him and argued: "Weichen did not talk nonsense..."
At this time, Concubine Rong looked towards Shu Wanwan and asked, "Miss Shu, what on earth is going on?"
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, Concubine Rong's beautiful face suddenly becomes unhappy. What's going on with this daughter of the Shu family?
Are you afraid that the emperor won't notice her? From her clothes to her makeup, she is so gorgeous, and her head full of jewels looks too dazzling, it's really outrageous.
Shu Wanwan stood up slowly, wearing a bright red floor-length dress that swayed as she moved.
Concubine Rong couldn't stand it. She frowned and teased: "Miss Shu, you are dressed so grandly today, are you getting married?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Wanwan's face suddenly turned red. She stepped forward to salute anxiously, and said in a trembling voice: "My maid, your lord has overstepped your bounds."
Concubine Rong glanced at her with disgust, lowered her eyelids, took a sip of tea, and said, neither salty nor light:
"In the future, pay more attention to your dress. If you can't learn etiquette, I can arrange for a nanny to teach you in the palace."
"Yes, I have realized my mistake." Shu Wanwan couldn't hold back her red face. When she bent over to salute, she glanced sideways at Gong Junyi secretly.
But she didn't expect that he never even looked at her. Her heart suddenly hurt, and then she looked away sadly and straightened up slightly.
"Tell me! What's going on?" the emperor urged impatiently.
Seeing the displeasure on the emperor's face, Shu Wanwan panicked, quickly calmed herself down, and spoke slowly:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Concubine Rong, what happened is this. Not long ago, I received a letter from Pingshan Town..."
Pingshan Town?!
When Shu Yao heard this, her eyes suddenly became cold! She actually intercepted her letter in private.
"At that time, my daughter only felt that something was strange. The Shu family had no relatives in Pingshan Town. Why was there a strange letter? So, out of precaution, my daughter opened it and read it."
"My daughter opened it and saw that the letter was written to my little sister..." At this point, she smiled mysteriously at Shu Yao.
"The letter said that the business in Heaven and Earth is booming, and there are countless dignitaries coming and going every day. The letter also said that Yunxiang misses her sister when she was the top star in Heaven and Earth, and she is very grateful to her sister for turning the tide and bringing Yihongyuan back to life..."
"So, I thought about what kind of romantic place could attract so many guests. I think Yunxiang's talent and dancing must be among the best among the people..."
"Then, I heard that the dancer in the palace was infected with the disease, and the other dancers were not innovative. In order not to disappoint the emperor and the empress, I boldly recommended it to Dr. Guanglu."
When everyone present heard this, they all understood what this woman had in mind. They were all shocked and stunned...
