"Miss, why didn't the emperor tell you that the ministers were going to present their wives as gifts?" Qiulan expressed doubts about this. There was so much commotion outside, but there was no news at all in Ganquan Palace.
Someone must have ordered it, no one is allowed to gossip in front of the lady!
In this huge royal city, who else but the emperor dares to issue such an order?
"Zhou Yan knows that I don't like these trivial matters, let alone deal with these troubles, so he simply didn't mention it and just ignored it, or maybe he was busy with the matter at hand and would handle it later," Ling Xiyue said.
He yawned and said this without any hesitation.
There were a lot of trivial matters in Lanzhou, and Yan was really busy and tired during this period.
He was considerate of her, and naturally she would not make trouble unreasonably over a trivial matter, without even the slightest bit of trust.
Even between lovers, everything is mutual, and no one has the obligation to indulge the other party without any bottom line and pay for the other party.
Qiulan hummed and glanced at Ling Xiyue. She was obviously a little girl, but her eyes had the helplessness of an old woman looking at her daughter. It really broke her heart. "Miss, you really care about the emperor," she said.
Trust, two hundred assurances."
Ling Xiyue smiled but said nothing.
On the other hand, this sense of security was not given to her by Yan.
They have experienced so much together, and she would be really blind if she didn't have this little trust and understanding.
"But I'm still angry!" Qiulan thought about it and couldn't calm down, and said angrily: "Miss, you are obviously much better off than that princess. Those little maids are so young, how can they be blind? What are you talking about?
Everything can be said."
She murmured: "If I hadn't seen that today is a palace banquet, this is the royal city, not as good as Yunwu Mountain, otherwise I would have rolled up my sleeves and brought it up to beat you. You actually compare that kind of peacock jumping up and down with you, Miss, who are you?
.”
"If you don't say anything else, miss, no matter what you do, she is the queen of the middle palace. To criticize the queen behind her back is a serious crime. Miss, I have analyzed it carefully. There must be someone behind this matter who is fanning the flames to make someone successful.
Enter the palace to build momentum!"
"Oh..." Ling Xiyue opened her sleepy eyes and glanced at Qiulan, "Not bad, now I know how to see the essence through phenomena. There is progress, there is progress."
"Miss, you know how to tease me." Qiulan sniffed again and purred with her almond-shaped eyes, "Miss, it's better to do this. Anyway, you have nothing to do. I'll clean it up for you and go and kill Princess Laoshizi.
The spirit?"
Once the young lady leaves, you only need to stand there and do nothing. Those women will be ashamed of themselves and never have the desire to be evil again!
"If the emperor sees you, he will be very happy." Qiulan excitedly said, "Let's go, I can't wait!"
"No." Unexpectedly, Ling Xiyue yawned again and refused without even thinking. That was a straightforward decision.
With this time, she might as well sleep more, it's rare for her to be so free.
But having said that, she seems to be particularly sleepy recently.
Qiulan made a sad face, "Miss..."
"Needless to say, no matter what you say, I won't go." Ling Xiyue waved her hands, turned sideways, and lay down on the soft chair next to her, as if she didn't want me to move even if you said anything.
So determined.
Qiulan looked at Ling Xiyue, who was paralyzed with her eyes closed and pretending to be dead, "I heard that the master at today's palace banquet made spring bamboo shoots..."
Ling Xiyue swallowed, "...what does it taste like?"
“Spicy and sour!”
The spring rain has stopped suddenly, and the feast is going on in the Qianqing Palace.
Bei Chenyan, who is sitting alone in a high position, is wearing a black dragon robe, which is black and red, with golden dragon patterns embroidered on it. His long dark red hair is tied loosely and high with a dark purple hair crown. Silk strands fall from his forehead, and the palace lanterns are hazy around him. Under the reflection, he reveals his lazy and wild arrogance.
A pair of dark red eyes are extremely long and narrow, and they are so beautiful that they are infuriating, but they are not feminine at all. They look so sternly that they give people an invisible sense of oppression that makes them unable to breathe.
There seems to be a hint of a smile on his lips, but if you look closely, your pupils are cold and there seems to be no expression on his face. It is really unpredictable, or you dare not think about it, or even dare to look directly.
No one knows whether he will say something joyful or frightening in the next second.
What is a king's heart is unpredictable, what is a king's heart is unpredictable, these blank words have a real manifestation in this man.
The man sat alone in a high position, as if he were standing in the clouds. Nearly a hundred seats were neatly arranged in the lower positions. Those sitting there were all important ministers and generals in Lanzhou, as well as some local county governors who had traveled day and night to Jinling to have an audience.
After the official business of rewarding the ministers, there is the palace banquet.
The sound of silk and bamboo in the hall is elegant, and the banquet is filled with delicious wine and delicious food.
"That piece of music just now is really good. Master Shangshu really teaches his daughter well!"
"This time the reorganization of the three armies is almost done, it's just waiting for the emperor's review."
"Mr. Wei, thank you for the hard work of traveling and traveling all the way."
The ministers below were in high spirits, chatting and discussing constantly, and everyone had friendly smiles on their faces. They were probably just communicating and flattering each other. This kind of public occasion was actually just a formality.
Since it was a palace banquet to reward the ministers, it was natural that some of the ministers' family members were included.
And among these family members there are many famous ladies. How could anyone let go of such an opportunity?
Everyone knows that when the world is first settled, the emperor selects the daughter of an important minister to enter the palace, or the ministers present the beauties in the palace to the emperor. This is the fastest and most effective way to consolidate the court situation, and it is also the default protocol in everyone's mind since ancient times.
Therefore, it can be said that a hundred flowers bloomed during the banquet. The pretty girls all dressed up had their eyebrows lowered, their faces were covered with clouds, their hearts were beating fast, and they were in their throats, but they only dared to glance at the person sitting on the table with their peripheral vision. man.xdw8
At this time, Zhang Shangshu of Hube said to his daughter in a low voice: "Xin'er, haven't you prepared the Feitian Dance? I see that you have been practicing every day. Now is the time. As a father, I will play the Emperor's Ming for you." , giving you a chance to perform."
The girl Xin'er's pretty face immediately turned red to her ears. She quickly grabbed her father's hand, shook her head, and whispered, "No, no, no!"
Zhang Shangshu was stunned, "What's wrong?"
"Father, I...I, I'm not ready, my daughter is afraid of offending Tianyan." Zhang Xiner only glanced in Bei Chenyan's direction from the corner of her eye, and her palms instantly sweated out of nervousness.
Her legs are trembling now, her breathing is difficult, her mind is blank, and she has forgotten everything, let alone dancing. If something goes wrong, she is afraid that she will not be able to apologize, so she bumps into the emperor and gets into trouble!
"You, you..." Zhang Shangshu pointed at his daughter, "You have to do it even if you don't do it. At the critical moment, you are not allowed to embarrass your father!"
