Ulan, remember Wei Mingxu's kindness, but forget his love for him.

Ulan calmly saluted Wei Mingxu.

Wei Mingxu only nodded to Ulan.

I used to think that it would be embarrassing to meet, so I avoided it, but now that I do, it's just that.

"Go in, the princess is waiting for you. Wei Mingxu said calmly, and then walked away without stopping for a moment.

Ulan responded calmly, and the two passed by, smiling and grudging.

Seeing Wei Mingxu, the heart that Ulan had been carrying these days seemed to have finally let go. Ulan's mood was also inexplicably much better, and he came in to greet Lin Zhixuan.

Lin Zhixuan looked at her expression, and also breathed a sigh of relief, and Wulan asked Lin Zhixuan: "Niangniang is in such a hurry to call me over, but the matter has an eyebrow?"

Lin Zhixuan's face became solemn, nodded heavily to Ulan, and then explained Toms's words to Ulan.

Ulan's hands were clenched into fists, and he was also filled with grief and anger.

Lin Zhixuan only said to her: "Mu Huashang is dead, it was poisoned by the prince himself, and he has been imprisoned in the palace all these years, and he has been punished enough, so he can be regarded as avenging you." It's just that about the copper ring, it's up to you to decide what to do with it. ”

Ulan's brows furrowed tightly, her hands clenched tightly, her slender nails digging into her flesh minute by piece, her palms going from pain to numbness, just as she was in her unpredictable mood at the moment.

The glow outside was swallowed up by the night, and the palace ladies brought in candles, and the lanterns under the eaves and the lamps in the cloisters were lit one by one. When the party was finished, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside. At one moment, more than a dozen eunuchs came panting here to give a message to the royal relatives and nobles who were resting.

The grandmother who was waiting outside followed Dongmei, who was guarding at the door, and said, "Please inform the princess and the princess that the birthday banquet is about to start, please take the lead." ”

Lin Zhixuan saw that Wulan was so difficult to decide, and she didn't force her anymore, but said, "The time has come, let's go over first." ”

Lin Zhixuan was helped up by Qiu Ju, and was about to take a step, but Wulan suddenly called Lin Zhixuan and said, "I want to take out the copper ring!"

Lin Zhixuan's footsteps were stunned, even if it was her, in fact, the instinct in her heart was unacceptable, she knew how much suffering Ulan had to suffer in her heart to make such a decision, but Ulan still made up her mind, and said: "It's just that I also ask the princess to keep it secret for me, I don't want a fourth person to know about this matter." ”

Lin Zhixuan didn't look back, but just promised her: "Okay, after the prince's birthday banquet, you come to Jingwangfu." ”

Lin Zhixuan and Wulan said goodbye, but they were supported by Dongmei and Qiu Ju, got into a small sedan chair, and went to Ziguang Pavilion.

In the distance, Lin Zhixuan heard the sound of fine music coming from the water, ethereal and pleasant. The closer she got to the Ziguang Pavilion, the more she was covered by noisy voices, Lin Zhixuan got out of the sedan chair and entered the rest room, Wei Mingxu was already there, and the ministers and envoys from various countries outside also lined up their shifts step by step, just waiting for Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan to sit down.

The little eunuch outside came again to spread the word that the hour had come.

Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan walked hand in hand from the back hall of the Purple Light Pavilion to the main hall.

The eunuch on the side hurriedly sang highly: "Prince Jing'an, the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has arrived, and the regent Princess Jingci has arrived!"

The silk and bamboo orchestra arose, and Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan slowly entered the Purple Light Pavilion after opening the way with a pair of dragons and phoenixes, pheasant feathers, and gold furnaces.

In the Purple Light Pavilion, it is wide and magnificent, there are only eight palace pillars, and the palace lights of various colors are scorching, and it is very exquisite. There is a plaque on it, which reads "Great Round Treasure Mirror". The hall is inlaid with gold and emerald, the cigarette smoke is swirling, the lights reflect each other, the music is noisy, and the decoration is all bright yellow, as if a glass world, the jewelry is good.

I saw that the pavilion is divided into two floors, the first floor is the hall, and the second floor has only one terrace, which can overlook the entire floor, Lin Zhixuan and Wei Mingxu's seats are on the top, and Wei Yanxian and Sister Xin'er's dragon chair and phoenix seat are placed on the first floor, although in the first floor, the throne is respected, but Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan will sit on the high pavilion, the dignity of the status is indescribable. The Ministry of Rites is really going to take advantage of loopholes, and even Wei Yanxian has to get up and raise his head before he can toast Wei Mingxu.

At this time, the doors and windows on the first and second floors of the main hall are all open, and the inside and outside of the main hall are clear at a glance. Let all the courtiers outside have the honor of seeing the regent and the emperor. And the people inside can also see the various flower boats on the Zhongnanhai Sea outside, and the silk and bamboo orchestras are all coming from the water outside.

There was a dark stage in the water, and the singing and dancing also came from the water, and the Ministry of Rites arranged a fireworks show after the banquet was halfway through. Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan's position is facing all this, and the view is the best.

In the main hall, the people who sat were the envoys and royal relatives of various countries, there were hundreds of people here alone, the first-grade officials of the imperial court sat on the terrace outside the palace, and the banquet of the officials above the third-grade could only be below the steps outside the main hall of the Ziguang Pavilion.

Further out, there are also the female dependents of various provinces, across the lake from the male guests here, and sit in the Shuixin Pavilion and Jiaoyuan on the opposite side of the Zhonghai. At a glance, there are crowds of people, endless wealth and prosperity, and there are more than 1,000 people at this banquet, not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs who come and go. The magnificence of the scene, the scale is only huge, unprecedented, and staggering.

At this moment, everyone got up and left the table and bowed down to welcome Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan into their seats.

Even the little emperor Wei Yanxian stood up very reluctantly with a stinky face and waited for Wei Mingxu to enter the hall.

Everyone lowered their heads, only the little emperor Wei Yanxian, although he stood up, he looked at it boldly, Wei Mingxu was so solemn and mighty, although his figure was not majestic, but he was very strong and well-proportioned, wearing a python robe, he was even more majestic, he had been in the top position for a long time, and he had the air of an emperor. And the clothes worn by Lin Zhixuan are shining under the light of the Purple Light Pavilion, although she is already the mother of two children, her face is still so beautiful, with a graceful and dignified smile on the corner of her lips, and she compares the mother of the country next to her.

But Wei Yanxian looked at Lin Zhixuan, and still felt that something was wrong, and suddenly, Wei Yanxian stared at it, the pattern on Lin Zhixuan's clothes turned out to be a phoenix, and the workmanship of the phoenix court dress was a hundred times more exquisite than that of Sister Xin.

Wei Yanxian almost blurted out, but now in the main hall, envoys from various countries gathered, and now the entire hall is so quiet that it can be heard everywhere except for the sound of music coming from the lake.

Wei Mingxu's eyes also stared at Wei Yanxian, who was about to open his mouth, and the solemn light in his eyes made Wei Yanxian swallow his words back.
