Outside the gate of the palace, people who participated in the palace banquet arrived in droves, and those ladies and ladies were all dressed up, and they did not lose a beautiful scenery. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ministers of the court and the royal family and nobles were also dressed in fine clothes, carrying their families, greeting each other politely, and entering the palace gate in turn.

Participating in the palace banquet today, Xiang Yue naturally could not be spared under the arrangement of Princess Mingyu, and the clothes were her own, but Qiaoyu combed her hair bun with a lot of hairpins and jewels, and the heavy feeling made her neck tired.

Fortunately, there was a carriage with Princess Mingyu, and in the carriage, she had already unloaded three jade beads, which was less cumbersome and a little easier.

"I've seen Princess Mingyu."

"Princess Mingyu, your clothes are very chic, so beautiful."

Several noble ladies brought their young ladies to greet Princess Mingyu, and when they saw the clothes she was wearing, their eyes were obviously bright.

The clothes worn by Princess Mingyu were sent to the moon, which made her graceful and luxurious.

As the sister of the emperor today, Princess Mingyu does not need to pretend to others, and listens to others' compliments lightly.

"This is my cousin, she looks so beautiful."

Seeing Xiang Yue, those ladies couldn't stop praising again.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he felt the gaze of many eyes, including amazement, appreciation, envy, and jealousy, among which there was a resentment full of resentment The gaze was particularly strong, and along with this strong jealous gaze, he saw Liu Qing, the lord of Qingjun standing beside Liu Yibin, Marquis of Xing'an.

Liu Qing and Xiang Yue's eyes met, and her whole body shrank obviously, and she was already afraid of Xiang Yue from the bottom of her heart.

However, what attracted more people's attention was Fang Zhongyu, who made him the prince charming who was not out of the cabinet in the entire imperial city.

With such a grand palace banquet, almost all the ladies of the boudoir who don't usually go out came, and they didn't take this opportunity to wait for their Prince Charming?

Along the way, I have met many young ladies who are traveling with me, and there are still many waiting at the gate of the palace, such as Liu Qing, who approached boldly at this time, as if she had forgotten her fear of Xiang Yue.

"Brother Yu, now everyone in the imperial city knows that you are going to marry a girl, and today it is Princess Mingyu who will ask for marriage for you."

Liu Qing's eyes were misty, as if she was about to cry, she was unspeakably sad, she turned her head to Xiang Yue and pulled out a crying smile and said, "Miss Xiang has been getting along with Brother Yu so well these days, congratulations to Miss Xiang for making her wish come true." ”

Fang Zhongyu's brows couldn't help frowning, there was already a trace of doubt in his eyes, and he glanced at Xiang Yue vaguely.

These days and Xiang Yue two brothers and sisters have a harmonious relationship, almost forgot about the mother but wanted her to become a daughter-in-law, once today's mother asked for marriage, this marriage has become a foregone conclusion, can not be violated, is Xiang Yue said that sibling affection, just an illusion, in fact, to wait until today's holy decree?

"Lord Qing, don't pretend, just your jealous little character, you shouldn't have the brains to come up with this kind of discord, it was your friend who taught you to say so."

Xiang Yue broke Liu Qing's provocation in person.

wants to destroy the brother-sister relationship between her and Fang Zhongyu, how can people succeed?

There is no need to ask, she already knows that Liu Qing's friend, the original owner of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion must be Zhu Wan who has been transformed into someone.

She really sympathized with Liu Qing and liked Fang Zhongyu, but she couldn't get the other party's liking, and she was used as a gunman everywhere by that so-called friend.

Xiang Yue didn't speak loudly, and only she, Fang Zhongyu and Liu Qing heard it.

Fang Zhongyu's handsome face suddenly darkened, no one knew better than him how insidious and cunning the woman with the identity of Zhu Wan was, just like the idea of taking Xiang Yue into captivity four years ago, wasn't she giving it to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing was really about to cry now, and thought that Zhu Wanjiao's words were useful, but he clearly saw the suspicion flashing in Fang Zhongyu's eyes, but he was picked by Xiang Yue on the spot, Fang Zhongyu's expression darkened, Liu Qing already felt that he was getting farther and farther away from him.

On the wide road, more than a dozen luxurious carriages came at this time, led by a carriage with a white marble roof and a shining golden wall, which was far more luxurious than any carriage that had arrived in front of the palace gate.

The entourage was also quite numerous, and the entire road was crowded.

With such a big pomp and circumstance, it looks very spectacular.

Especially the ultra-luxurious carriage, which simply blinded everyone's eyes in the sun, Xiang Yue couldn't help but squint, and said in surprise: "Who is so extravagant? ”

"Xu Zhanzhi, the last time you saw it in the ancient ruins of Qujiang, you call him cousin." Fang Zhongyu responded.

As soon as Fang Zhongyu's words fell, someone at the gate of the palace already said loudly: "It's Lord Xu who is here." ”

The ultra-luxurious carriage stopped, and out of the carriage came a handsome man in his early twenties and a red brocade robe, who was none other than Xu Zhanzhi of the Xu clan.

The carriages that followed came to a halt, and the men and women, all brightly dressed, young and beautiful, came down.

"Lord Xu, are you bringing all the kabuki in the house to perform for fun?"

"Who doesn't know the wonder of the music in Lord Xu's mansion, crowning the imperial city, we have the honor to watch it today."

Several ministers of the DPRK and China greeted him and said happily.

Xu Zhanzhi was in a good mood, with a smile on his face, and said, "Please watch the emperor, everyone has fun." ”

Those brightly dressed young people were the kaki brought by Xu Zhanzhi, and they also brought a lot of musical instruments, which were loaded in the last two carriages, carefully taken out by the entourage, and carried into the palace.

"Auntie." Xu Zhanzhi walked up to Princess Mingyu to salute.

Princess Mingyu nodded and said, "What about your mother?" ”.

Xu Zhanzhi's mother is Princess Mingyu's eldest sister, Princess Huiji.

"Mother went into the palace early in the morning to see the queen."

"Let's go in together." Princess Mingyu said to Xu Zhanzhi, Fang Zhongyu and Xiang Yue, and walked towards the palace gate first.

Xiang Yue followed Fang Zhongyu and called Xu Zhan's cousin, and then entered the palace with Princess Mingyu.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyue heard that my aunt was going to ask the emperor to give you a marriage today, so my cousin congratulated you in advance."

Xu Zhanzhi didn't say that it was okay, but when he said that Fang Zhongyu and Xiang Yue's faces were not good-looking.

Xiang Yue was also a little worried in her heart, although she felt that Princess Mingyu would not rashly ask the emperor for marriage before her illness was cured, but she was afraid that in case, after all, Princess Mingyu was thinking that she could become her daughter-in-law.

"Second brother, don't worry, if my aunt comes hard, it's a big deal to commit the crime of confrontation, and I will refuse in front of the emperor."

The secret message was transmitted to Fang Zhongyu, and Xiang Yue could only plan for the worst, so she couldn't help but secretly slander Su Chifeng, what about the good engagement?

Fang Zhongyu felt guilty for doubting Xiang Yue just now, and also whispered to her: "I will accompany you." ”

When they entered the palace gate, a palace maid led them all the way to the banquet.

The banquet is placed in the imperial garden, all kinds of chrysanthemums bloom in autumn, in the sunny weather, the flowers drink and feast, the atmosphere is good, and in the evening you can raise a glass and admire the moon.

The imperial garden is a large place, with countless seats, countless palace maids are busy, and the wine and food on the table have come up one after another.

At this time, there were already many people, some of them had already sat in their seats, some of them were talking, and when they saw Princess Mingyu coming, they saluted one after another.

Princess Mingyu only nodded.

"Brother Rong, why did you come?" A beautiful lady of about forty walked up, and her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Princess Mingyu.

"Second Emperor Sister, you came early." Princess Mingyu smiled and greeted the beautiful lady.

Xiang Yue followed Princess Mingyu and knew that this beautiful lady was Princess Mingyu's sister Princess Wu Xingchang, but her eyes were quickly attracted by a purple-clothed girl standing next to Princess Wu Xingchang.

The purple-clothed girl has a temperament like a lotus, as delicate as a fairy, like a little red in the green bushes, which makes people be attracted to her at a glance. Xiang Yue couldn't help but look at her a few more times, thinking to herself who such a big beauty is?

And the girl in purple also saw Xiang Yue, smiled slightly, and captivated the country and the city.

Xiang Yue immediately thought that this purple-clothed girl should be Wang Xianyu, who was second on the beauty list, after all, she was ranked third, fourth and fifth, she knew it, not to mention that Wang Xianyu was not the daughter of Princess Wu Xingchang.

Sure enough, the purple-clothed girl said respectfully to Princess Mingyu: "I've seen my aunt." ”

"Marriage is exempt."

Princess Mingyu smiled and pulled Wang Xian up and pulled Xiang Yue over, "Come, Xiaoyue, introduce you." ”

Under the introduction of Princess Mingyu, Xiang Yue met Princess Wu Xingchang, met Wang Xian, called them an aunt and a cousin, and Xiang Yue also specially thanked this cousin for the gift.

"Brother Rong, Xiaoyue, this child is worthy of being raised by you, looks very much like you, and is also a little similar to your in-laws, it looks like a pair of sisters, and these two children will be closer and closer in the future."

Princess Wu Xingchang saw that Xiang Yue looked a little similar to Princess Mingyu, so she became a little closer to Xiang Yue.

The two princesses, Princess Mingyu and Princess Wu Xingchang, are here, which naturally attracts the attention of many people.

"Princess Mingyu looks too similar to her adopted daughter, is it really her illegitimate daughter outside?"

"Most of them are true, otherwise how could they be like this? A princess who has been widowed for more than ten years, who knows what will make ......"

There were a few women on the side whispering, their voices were very soft, but they didn't know that ordinary people couldn't hear them, but they couldn't escape the cultivated Xiang Yue and Princess Mingyu, Princess Mingyu's smile froze, and a layer of green gas appeared on her face.

However, the two women who were chewing their tongues suddenly felt numb in their throats, and the one who was talking couldn't make a sound, and when they were at a loss, they saw Xiang Yue winking at them, laughing badly, and raising a small hand to make a motion to wipe their necks.

Knowing that Xiang Yue was hinting at them, he wiped their necks again, frightening the two women with gray faces, weak legs and feet, and almost fainted.

Yes, it was Xiang Yue who used his internal force to launch a silver needle, which hit the throats of the two women, causing them to be silenced for two or three hours.

Dare to talk about her aunt behind her back, Xiang Yue naturally did not agree with each other, although it was not really wiping their necks on this occasion, it was still easy to seal their tongues.

"Auntie, you can't be angry with these people, can I take a pulse for you?"

Xiang Yue whispered to comfort Princess Mingyu, just seeing the green qi on her face, I was afraid that she would be angry.

"Good boy, aunt is fine."

The green aura on Princess Mingyu's face has subsided, but there is a slight sweat on her forehead, and her mental state has deteriorated a lot.

"What's wrong with Brother Rong?"

Princess Wu Xing didn't cultivate, she didn't know what happened just now, and asked.

"Second Emperor Sister, it's nothing, I haven't slept very well lately, and I'm a little tired." Princess Mingyu said.

Wang Xianyan was very understanding: "Mother, let's sit down with my aunt and cousin." ”

Xiang Yue found that Fang Zhongyu didn't know when he wasn't beside him, it seemed that when he was visiting Princess Wu Xingchang, he also heard him call his aunt, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye.

"The queen mother has arrived, and the princess has arrived!" At this moment, a loud voice of a eunuch sounded.

"See the queen mother, I've seen the princess of the Huiji!"

All those who were seated and those who were not seated were greeted in awe.

Queen Yuan Qi is twenty-five or sixteen years old, naturally beautiful, wearing a phoenix robe, noble and dignified. Next to Empress Yuan is the emperor's eldest sister, Princess Huiji, who is in her forties, slightly blessed, but graceful and generous.

Xiang Yue was introduced by Princess Mingyu and officially met Empress Yuan and Princess Huiji.

The eldest princess knew that Xiang Yue would come, and she specially brought a meeting gift to Xiang Yue, and did not forget to give Wang Xian a copy, especially liked the two children and said: "Look at these two girls, they look like sisters, and they look so good-looking, so that people love them more and more." ”

"Thank you, Auntie."

Xiang Yue and Wang Xian thanked Princess Huiji together, and they also liked this kind and kind aunt.

"The emperor has arrived!" Another loud voice from a eunuch sounded.

Immediately, the whole audience knelt down.

Finally able to see Liu Yilong, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, Xiang Yue was a little excited in his heart, and when the sound of "flat down" sounded, Xiang Yue, who raised his head, saw a familiar figure before he saw what Liu Yilong looked like.

Su Chifeng, who was dressed in a brocade robe, was handsome, but Xiang Yue was dumbfounded.

Of course, Su Chifeng couldn't be the emperor, the one who walked with him was wearing a dark red civilian clothes.

It's just that when he saw Su Chifeng walking with the current emperor, he really scared Xiang Yue's little heart, and he wondered in his heart when did this guy hook up with the emperor?
