Five days later, on the square in front of the south gate of the Imperial Palace, a grand ceremony was held for the Three Kingdoms of Jiangnan to submit the letter of alliance to the Great Dragon Dynasty. At this moment, the weather was cold and cold, the flags were fluttering, and the square was full of soldiers standing tall. In the center of the square erected a two-step high platform, Emperor Jianyuanning of the Great Dragon Dynasty wore a wide-sleeved dragon robe embroidered with red dragons playing beads on a black background, sat majestically on the high platform behind the wide desk, placed four desks on both sides of the high platform, sat the envoys of the three countries in the south of the Yangtze River on one side, and sat the important civil and military generals of the Great Dragon Dynasty on the other. In the center of the high platform is a copper tripod, which burns with half-human height sandalwood, and the curling smoke emits a light sandalwood fragrance. The ceremonial officer sings and contributes to every ritual.

First of all, he bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, except for the soldiers who had guarded, all the civil and military ministers and the envoys of the three kingdoms of Jiangnan all bowed.

After the ceremony, the prime minister recited the great achievements of the emperor of the Great Dragon Dynasty, and explained the reasons why the three kingdoms of Jiangnan belonged to the Great Dragon Dynasty, and then the envoys of Wu from Jianghaixi stood in a row to submit the letter of belonging.

Emperor Feng Qing of Jianyuan Ning stood on a high platform, accepted the letter of alliance submitted by the Three Kingdoms, and took the lead in lighting a stick of incense and inserting it into the huge incense burner, followed by the envoys of the Three Kingdoms in the south of the Yangtze River also inserted the incense in their hands into the incense burner. At this moment, the square resounded with the sound of thick and solemn drums and salutes, which gave the whole ceremony a solemn, grand, mysterious and majestic momentum.

At this moment, on the high-rise building in the backyard of the prince's house on East Street, Qin Min, who was dressed in a luxurious peony suit, stared deeply in the direction of the South Gate Square of Dijing, and said in his mouth: "Did he make a proton?"

At this moment, Yao Ling was leisurely tinkering with a bunch of bells in her room. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Bluegrass dressed in light green walked in.

"Little lord, there is a carriage outside the door, saying that His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Great Dragon Dynasty has invited you to enter the palace to see the chrysanthemums. She whispered to Yaoling. There was a little worry in a pair of beautiful eyes.

After being stunned for a while, Yao Ling reacted, it was Feng Ze who invited her into the palace, and she couldn't understand it, this time was the time for the emperor and the ministers to hold a ceremony in the South Gate Square, how could he have time to invite himself into the palace to see the chrysanthemums?

If she didn't understand, she didn't want to, so she packed up the bell, sorted out her dress a little, and then walked out of the room briskly. When he went out, he explained to Lancao: "When Xiaofeng comes back, you will say that I went to play on the street." She didn't want Fengzhao to worry about her.

I staggered out of the gate and saw a very ordinary two-horse court chariot, parked at the gate. The horses are not very tall and handsome, and the cars are not very elaborate. I was a little surprised.

The groom saw Yaoling hurriedly jumping out of the car, brought a small stool to the side of the car and lifted the curtain, and Yaoling saw Fengze sitting in the car. is still wearing a blue and white brocade robe, looking at her like clear water, and there is no joy or sadness or other love in his eyes.

"Today, the chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden are blooming, thinking that Princess Rongyu must have never seen the chrysanthemums of the north when she grows in the south, I hereby invite you to enjoy the chrysanthemums. The elegant, soft voice reached the ears, which made the listeners very comfortable.

Yaoling stepped on the small stool and got into the car very ladylikely, the coachman put down the curtain and put away the small stool, jumped into the car, waved the whip in his hand, and ran unhurriedly.

Yao Ling, who entered the car, looked around at the decoration of the car, and the whole car could not be compared with her princess carriage.

Feng Ze, who was sitting opposite, maintained a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't ask Yaoling anything.

"Hey, you are also the prince of the Great Dragon Dynasty, how can you sit in such an ordinary carriage?" asked Yaoling with some doubts.

Feng Ze still smiled so elegantly: "What kind of carriage is a means of transportation, luxury and ordinariness are nothing more than comfortable to sit on." And whether it is comfortable or not depends on the feelings of the passenger himself. The tone is not hurried, not slow, soft and good.

Yao Ling was slightly stunned, this was the first time she had heard such an explanation, and she suddenly had a new understanding of the second prince of this big dragon.

"Don't you have to attend the alliance ceremony?" she asked, a little confused.

"I don't have to be involved in the affairs of the state. The elegant voice is still there.

Yao Ling suddenly smiled at Feng Ze: "This appearance of yours is comparable to that cold moon." I wonder what the two of you will be like together?"

"Huh?" there was a slight doubt in Feng Ze's eyes.

Yaoling looked at the confusion in his eyes and hurriedly explained: "It's that Yanlong Prince Changyueming, you are really similar to him." ”

Feng Ze looked at Yaoling with a pair of clear eyes, his eyes were shining like a stream in the sun, and he didn't know why Yaoling had a feeling of weakness, so he hurriedly turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery outside the car.

The two of them did not speak any more, and in a short time the carriage drove in through the small side gate on the east side of the palace.

The scale of the imperial palace of the Great Dragon Dynasty is incomparable to that of the three small countries in the south of the Yangtze River, and one imperial garden is enough to be half the size of the Yanlong Palace. At this time, it is the day in September, the autumn wind is bleak and the flowers are withering, only the chrysanthemums are proudly blooming in the autumn wind.

Yaoling saw chrysanthemums for the first time, and all kinds of chrysanthemums had bloomed in the chrysanthemum garden, and the petals were delicate but not the slightest weakness. Yaoling fell in love with the autumn flowers from the first time she saw them, and she had never loved a certain flower like chrysanthemums.

While walking and watching, she asked about the varieties of Fengze chrysanthemums around her from time to time, and she didn't notice that Chang Ruoli, who was dressed in a light purple brocade dress in a pavilion not far from her, was silently watching her.

Looking at Yaoling in a goose yellow shirt walking through the chrysanthemums, Chang Ruoli gently asked Lan Yan beside her: "Is this girl?" Lan Yan replied in a low voice: "Yes" Chang Ruoli's eyes were more soft. Moving her footsteps slightly, she slowly walked down the pavilion and walked in the direction of Yao Ling.

"The son visits his mother. Feng Ze's voice alarmed Yaoling, who was looking down at the chrysanthemums carefully, she turned her head sideways to look at the woman who came closely, and stayed in place for a moment, opening her mouth slightly with a look of surprise.

As if she had seen it somewhere, familiar but unfamiliar, this woman was the most beautiful she had ever seen, as if she was a fairy from above the nine heavens, with the calmness she was familiar with and the gentleness when looking at her, these beautiful eyes were as perfect as the eyes of the wind.

A voice in her heart told her again: "It's Xiaofeng's mother, she is Xiaofeng's mother." ”

Yaoling, who had never been excited, was in a state of flux at the moment, and the woman who came must be Xiaofeng's mother who was thinking about it day and night. She has always been smart and calm, but she doesn't know what to do at the moment. When a dream that has been pursued for a long time suddenly comes true, people are often at a loss.

"Yaoling. Chang Ruoli called softly.

Yaoling woke up suddenly, looking at Chang Ruoli in front of her a little helplessly.

"Lan Yan greets Princess Rongyu. Behind Chang Ruoli came out a water-blue lanyan.

Seeing Lan Yan, Yao Ling forcibly collected the uncontrollable heartbeat, "Lan Yan" she called in a low voice.

There was a slight smile in Lan Yan's restrained eyes: "This is Concubine Li's mother." ”

Yaoling hurriedly bent down and bowed her knees and said, "Yaoling pays a visit to the concubine." ”

A soft jade hand gently supported her wrist, stood up and saw that there was a faint mist in those beautiful eyes, I don't know why there was moisture in Yaoling's eyes, for the wind shine, she had joy and excitement in her heart, all these emotions came from the wind.

And Chang Ruoli in front of him didn't speak, just looked at Yaoling carefully, and said softly after a long time: "Accompany me to see this chrysanthemum." After that, he took Yaoling's hand but didn't let go, Feng Ze followed beside him. Lan Yan followed behind, and the group walked slowly among the chrysanthemums.

After walking silently for a long time, Chang Ruoli asked lightly: "Is Yanlong beautiful?"

Yaoling nodded, her eyes looked at Chang Ruoli next to her, she wanted to tell her what Fengzhao missed her, at this time there were traces of light scratches in the palms of her hands, and when she lowered her head, she only saw that Chang Ruoli's sleeve robe covered their hands, she raised her eyes and looked at her again, carefully experiencing the scratches from the palms.

"Zhao'er, how is he?" Chang Ruoli's fingertips drew five words on Yaoling's palm.

Yaoling also used her fingertips to gently draw the word "good" on Chang Ruoli's palm. Then she couldn't wait to mark out a few words: "He misses you." ”

Chang Ruoli's footsteps paused slightly, and then continued to walk along the garden path with a calm face, but the slender jade hand holding Yaoling tightened, "We will meet." ”

The four words drawn on Yaoling's palm with his fingertips made Yaoling's heart move. Raised a pair of shiny eyes and looked at the long glass on the side.

Letting go of Yao Ling's hand, Chang Ruoli said to Feng Ze: "The chrysanthemums in this imperial garden are blooming, but after all, there are no complete varieties of chrysanthemums at the chrysanthemum exhibition, so you can invite Princess Rongyu to watch it together." ”

Feng Ze nodded slightly.

Chang Ruoli looked at Yaoling again with a pair of beautiful eyes, her gaze was calm and quiet and indifferent, and after a while, she turned around and walked away slowly, without saying a word, leaving only Yaoling with a beautiful back.

Looking at Chang Ruoli in the distance, Yao Ling was very melancholy. But I don't know what she meant by the last sentence she said to Feng Ze.
