Chapter 410: Seeing Red
When the hour comes, the palace concubines and royal relatives have arrived at the Qianhe Palace, the warm spring hall gradually lively, the dragon and phoenix carved glass lamps hang high on the beam, the light shines through the hollow pattern, falls on the ground, prints mottled light and shadow.
At this moment, only a loud shout was heard outside the hall, the sound of ritual music stopped abruptly, the sound of clothes rubbing and the sound of wearing rings immediately sounded, and everyone present stood up and tidied up their appearance.
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
As the voice of the waiter fell, Emperor Jianheng, who was dressed in a bright yellow plate collar and narrow sleeved dragon suit, wearing a crown of two dragons with pearls and beads, and a jade belt at his waist, walked in across the threshold, and on his side was Queen Yuan, who was wearing a dark blue robe, a red Zhai robe, a jade belt and jade pendant, and a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes.
When the two entered the hall, they attracted everyone's attention, only to hear the sound of the mountain shouting long live in the hall, and the emperor and queen walked to the upper seat unhurriedly and sat down in turn. The next moment, the voice of Emperor Jianheng was heard in the hall.
"Flat."
When everyone got up, they saw that Emperor Jianheng seemed to be looking very good today, with a rare hint of joy in his eyebrows, he glanced over, and then said loudly: "Today, all of you here are considered your own family, you don't have to be too formal—"
Hearing Emperor Jianheng say this, everyone hurriedly got up and thanked him, but saw the emperor raise his hand and hit him down in the air, signaling them to sit down, so they didn't dare to disobey, and sat back cautiously.
With the sound of the bottom of the cup rubbing against the table, I saw Emperor Jianheng in a good mood picked up the wine cup in front of him, stretched out his hand to His Royal Highness's concubines and relatives, and said: "The New Year is coming, this first cup wishes me a great prosperity of Haiyan River, and the people live and work in peace and contentment." ”
When everyone heard the sound, where did they dare to delay, they hurriedly picked up the wine cup in front of them and echoed in unison, seeing that Emperor Jianheng drank it all, and the people below also raised their necks and drank it.
Who knew that as soon as he put down the wine cup and watched the palace people beside him step forward to add wine, he heard Emperor Jianheng's always solemn and low voice with a little expectation and relief: "The eldest concubine of Yuqing Palace is approaching, this second cup, I wish us another emperor and grandson in Daxing, and the whole world celebrates." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly turned to the woman under the seat of Queen Yuan, only to see that the dress worn by the woman was no different from Queen Yuan, and the phoenix crown on the head was missing a dragon and a phoenix.
Everyone sighed, and hurriedly followed Emperor Jianheng to drink it all, only to see that when Emperor Jianheng put down the cup, he saw that Gu Yanling was still standing, and immediately said: "Sit down, people with bodies can't afford to stand up." ”
Gu Yanling saluted calmly when he heard this, and then took the hands of Libi and Jiang Zhu and walked down cautiously.
At this moment, he saw that Emperor Jianheng was about to take the third cup in a row and said, "This third cup-"
"Your Majesty, let's take our time with this third cup, I'm afraid that the concubines and other female streamers will not be able to drink alcohol."
When Emperor Jianheng heard the sound, he saw that Empress Yuan seemed to be a little dizzy, supported her forehead with her hands, comforted her gently, and unintentionally turned to look at the concubines and concubines with a smile.
How could the people in the audience not understand this? He chimed in.
After so many years of husband and wife, how did Emperor Jianheng not know the amount of wine and thoughts of Empress Yuan, not to mention three cups, it was not a problem for Empress Yuan to serve ten cups in a row.
Empress Yuan said this, but she was just concerned about his body, thinking so, Emperor Jianheng's eyes were slightly relieved, but she gave Empress Yuan a look of comfort, and just as she was about to speak, she heard another voice suddenly sound.
"This third cup, my grandson has the courage to fight for the subjects of the world, and I wish the emperor's grandfather and grandmother a long life than Nanshan and a long life."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately got up and echoed in unison.
Listening to the sound of blessings in his ears, looking at the straight and pious Xiao Yi standing straight, Emperor Jianheng's eyes suddenly floated with undisguised joy, and under the eye contact of Empress Yuan, they all happily picked up the wine cup and drank it, full of joy.
In this way, Emperor Jianheng's third toast was stopped, and with the sound of ritual music rising again, watching the dancing girl in a light gauze skirt rush in and dance, everyone's eyes were gradually attracted.
As time passed little by little, the banquet gradually became drunk, everyone staggered, and the atmosphere was pushed to the most lively time in the toasting room in turn. Everyone laughed and laughed, and even the emperor and queen who were seated never retreated.
At this moment, the snowflakes outside the hall fell, quietly falling on the golden glazed tile eaves, which had accumulated several layers of thickness, and glowed with a slight light under the mist of lights.
The silence outside the hall and the movement in the hall complement each other perfectly, only to feel the breeze rolling the snowflakes in, as if playfully probing to join in the fun, but before entering, it was blocked out of the door and fell slowly. The red silk lamp under the porch swayed, and the tassels moved with it, leaving a gentle shadow.
At this moment, with a sudden "bang-", a bunch of brilliant fireworks rose on the smoke wave platform in the distance, as if countless shining meteors gathered together, straight into the sky, and then exploded, almost causing the ears to tremble, and the next moment, the meteors suddenly exploded, but they were colorful, as if the seven-colored color practice in the hands of the dancing girl was incomparably beautiful.
Surrounded by everyone, the emperor and queen slowly got off the seat, only to hear the door of the palace "squeak-" was slowly opened, and everyone walked out of the Qianhe Palace and came to the platform.
All kinds of Fushou fireworks attracted everyone to marvel again and again, and at this moment, the atmosphere has been set to the extreme.
At this moment, a nervous and hasty low cry suddenly sounded, and although it was drowned out by the tremor of fireworks, it was enough to fall into everyone's ears.
"Ling'er—"
Emperor Jianheng, who was in front, also turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw the scene in front of him, the smile that was originally floating on his face suddenly froze, and the exclamations of the crowd gradually sounded, and the next moment, he could hear the hurried whimpering sound of Libi and Jiang Zhu.
Everyone was stunned in front of them, and there was the roar of fireworks in their ears, and the eldest grandson Concubine Gu, who was still being taken care of by the eldest grandson Xiao Yi, was holding the protruding lower abdomen with her right hand at the moment, and it seemed to be in great pain, and she was holding her dress tightly in her hand, almost trembling, and even the bulging phalanges were particularly obvious.
And under Gu's body, he could see the red blood falling on the skirt like plum blossoms, mottled and dazzling.
At this moment, the eldest grandson Xiao Yi had long lost his former calmness, his face turned white when he looked at this scene, and he completely forgot about everyone, and shouted with his head sideways: "Pass the imperial doctor!" Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Yi picked up the painful eldest grandson, and then saw Emperor Jianheng suddenly speak: "Send it to the apse!" ”
When Xiao Yi heard the voice, he also knew that it was too late to return to Yuqing Palace, when he walked towards the apse of Qianhe Palace with Gu Yanling in his arms, under the red silk lamp, a bunch of fireworks rose and exploded, but it was just imprinted on Gu Yanling's closed eyes, and the pain was almost distorted on his face, and the hair on his sideburns was soaked and stuck to his ears, and the lining was even more pale and terrifying.
The sound of fireworks in his ears did not stop, but everyone looked at Emperor Jianheng timidly, only to see that Emperor Jianheng pursed his lips at the moment, his face could not be said to be bad, but he was definitely not good.
Everyone present knows that if the child in the womb of the eldest grandson concubine Gu is gone, this new year is destined to be a killing and turmoil.
And this red, but there is almost no good warning.
