Chapter 51: Friendship
The smell of rain was particularly intoxicating at the moment, as if the rain curtain had isolated them from the outside world into two worlds.
Shen Jingyuan stopped leaving, but he didn't know what to say.
Su Wanxi spoke again: "On such a rainy day, I will have nightmares at night." ”
Shen Jingyuan took a slight breath, still wanting to leave.
Su Wanxi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "It's good to stay with me for one night, if I die one day, I won't have a chance again......"
This sentence stabbed Shen Jingyuan's heart fiercely, "If you die, you will never have a chance again...... this is the thing he regrets the most...... Dancing Snow ......
Su Wanxi boldly took Shen Jingyuan's hand and walked towards the room.
His hand was thick and warm, and she was reluctant to let go.
"You can talk to me, after returning to the cold palace, I will be alone again. Su Wan reluctantly let go of his hand, sat down in front of the bronze mirror, and began to freshen up.
Shen Jingyuan sat down slowly, the candlelight in the room was bright, and the hustle and bustle of the thunderstorm outside seemed to be two worlds.
"Time flies. Su Wanxi said lightly, took off the hairpin, and the green silk was like a waterfall.
Shen Jingyuan looked at Su Wanxi quietly, stunned.
On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the lights of the Zhaowen Hall were first lit, and the lights meandered all the way to the palace gate. The palace was full of joy, the ministers were invited to bring their families into the palace to participate in this year's annual meeting, and the concubines of the harem had already been unable to live in peace, dressed in new clothes, painted with gorgeous fat powder, and rushed to the Zhaowen Hall early.
Everyone sat down one after another, and Luoyan also arrived in advance and sat on the phoenix chair. Today, she wore a calm phoenix bun, pinned with two golden wind-dragging hairpins on the left and right, and embellished with some headdresses, which was beautiful and atmospheric. The thin eyebrows are slightly raised, the apricot eyes are calm, the crimson thin lips have a smile that seems to be absent, and the two snowy beads of the earrings are even more set off to make her face like a peach blossom.
She hadn't dressed herself so heavily since she was born prematurely, but thinking that she wanted to leave her most beautiful appearance in his memories, she began to dress up carefully from noon today.
Today is a lively annual meeting, and Luoyan also deliberately changed into a red phoenix suit, which is even more solemn.
"The emperor has arrived!"
Hearing the rumor, Mu Yuqin walked from the back of the hall and strode towards the dragon chair beside Luoyan. Everyone got up and knelt down, bowing their heads and shouting three times in unison.
Mu Yuqin wore the Nine Heavens Flying Dragon Golden Emperor Robe, waved his sleeves and sat down, domineering and intimidating.
"No courtesy. Between his gestures, he revealed his innate nobility.
He looked at Luoyan and couldn't help but feel refreshed, he hadn't seen her so makeup for a long time, and couldn't help but smile and praise: "It's so beautiful." ”
Luoyan also smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for the emperor's compliment." ”
Mu Yuqin nodded and said, "Let's start the banquet." ”
The banquet is nothing more than the same as before, the dishes and fruits are presented one by one, and then the staggered plans are staggered, and the conversation and laughter are lively. The dancing queen dances, and the pity sings.
Your Royal Highness, there are harem concubines sitting on the left, and Concubine Xiang is sitting at the front, and then sitting one by one according to the rank. At this annual meeting, Luo Xiafei and the eldest prince Mu Rui were also invited to come and sit next to Concubine Xiang. Mu Rui has always been sensible and well-behaved, and on such a grand occasion today, he only sat quietly beside Luo Xia Fei and did not make any noise.
On the right are sitting the imperial relatives and ministers who have been invited to the palace for a banquet. The first is the emperor's uncle Mu Guangxiao, followed by Mu Qianhan, then Mu Yehua, and then a minister and a family member.
Luoyan looked at His Royal Highness, and after a round of inspection, she didn't see Concubine Xuan, she was also among the concubines invited to meet at today's annual meeting, why didn't she come at this hour?
"Your Majesty, why hasn't Concubine Xuan's sister seen anyone yet?" Luoyan was a little worried, but Concubine Xuan didn't see anyone on this occasion, she couldn't help but guess whether Concubine Xuan was called by her mother and discussed something. Concubine Xuan didn't know her identity, she was bent on being used by her mother, and she didn't know what she would do to kill Mu Yuqin.
"I'll be here later. Mu Yuqin only said lightly, shaking the wine glass and watching His Royal Highness sing and dance, his eyes swept around, and fell to Mu Guangxiao, and then raised the wine glass with a smile and made a toasting gesture.
Mu Guangxiao was just Bai Xusheng pretending to be wearing a human skin mask, and Bai Xusheng knew that no matter how Mu Yuqin guessed, he would never have imagined that he would disguise himself as his imperial uncle and lurk by his side day and night.
Bai Xusheng also raised his glass and saluted Mu Yuqin with a glass of wine. Mu Yuqin smiled faintly and drank all the wine in the cup. Luoyan watched the two men communicate from a distance, feeling uneasy in her heart, always feeling that something was about to happen.
"Yu, I'll give you a drink. Luoyan called him and wanted to pick up the wine glass on the table, but his hand trembled, and the wine was scattered on the table.
Cuiliu hurriedly stepped forward to clean up and said, "Niangniang, be careful, the slave maid will clean up." ”
Luoyan looked at the table of drinks uneasily, feeling dull in his heart.
"Li'er, you've been so tired these days. Mu Yuqin said with concern, took the wine glass and poured half a glass of sake for her, and said, "Come, I will also toast you." ”
Luo Yan smiled, raised his eyes to look at Mu Yuqin, carefully raised his wine glass and said, "The concubine respects you." ”
After that, the two white jade wine glasses touched softly, the sake rippled, and the two looked at each other and drank it all.
After Luoyan finished drinking, he put down the wine glass, and as soon as the cup touched the table, he heard Concubine Xuan's voice sounding in His Royal Highness.
"The concubines are not talented, and they dance swords and sacrifice ugliness at the annual meeting. ”
In the cold weather, Concubine Xuan wore a thin dress, a red scarf tied her hair, tight sleeves, and a snow-white long sword in her right hand, with a heroic posture.
No wonder Fang Cai didn't see Concubine Xuan, it turned out that she went to prepare for the show. But...... Luoyan looked at Mu Yuqin quietly, he was looking at Concubine Xuan with a smile on his eyebrows, and took another sip of wine lightly, quite a bit of strategizing. Everything about the annual meeting, including the list of programs, was personally organized by her as the queen, how could Concubine Xuan not know that she had such a program? And looking at Mu Yuqin's appearance, he clearly knew it in advance......
Luoyan heard that during the spring election last year, Concubine Xuan won the emperor's attention with a sword dance, and now you can see how superb her skills are. Luoyan thought to herself, the mother concubine has been cultivating Concubine Xuan as a killer since she was a child, and her martial arts must not be low.
After Concubine Xuan finished speaking, the sound of silk and bamboo became high-pitched, accompanied by the rapid sound of the piano, Concubine Xuan's right hand waved, and several sword flowers were dazzling.
Concubine Xuan was as light as a swallow, dancing with a long sword, and performing in the hall with the sound of silk and bamboo. Luo Yan secretly observed Mu Yuqin's smile, which was exactly the same as the smile on Concubine Xuan's face. She always felt a little weird...... I can't tell what's wrong.
Was it the anxiety in his father's eyes, or was it the strange look in Yu's eyes when he looked at Concubine Xuan?
I saw that the long sword in Concubine Xuan's hand was like a flower, shining with dazzling brilliance from time to time under the light. The sound of the piano prompted the turn, Concubine Xuan held the sword in her right hand and held it in her ear, pointed forward with her left and right middle fingers and index fingers, and then walked lightly, stepping on the music from the front of the concubine, and turned in a circle to the minister's side.
"Mother, she dances so well!"
Although Luo Yan was sitting beside Mu Yuqin, he still heard Mu Rui's applause clapping his little palms. Luoyan watched Concubine Xuan's every move intently, and her heart was always hanging and difficult to fall.
I saw Concubine Xuan go around to Bai Xusheng, her face suddenly changed, like a hellish Shura, and she raised her sword and stabbed Bai Xusheng's throat.
"Be careful!" Luoyan exclaimed, slamming to her feet.
Bai Xusheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has always been vigilant from the moment he entered the Zhaowen Palace, and when he saw Concubine Xuan coming with a sword, he immediately dodged to the side with one side, and the blade of the sword slid through his robe but failed to hurt him in the slightest.
When everyone saw Concubine Xuan openly assassinating King Beiwen, they were shocked and did not dare to move.
Concubine Xuan's face sank, and she raised her sword again to kill Bai Xusheng, Bai Xusheng hurriedly retreated, everyone was at a loss, but the sound of silk and bamboo did not stop, and no Imperial Forest Army came in to stop it. Above the court, he is even more like sitting in the world, with a light breeze, with a smile on his lips and a cold look.
Luoyan's heart was beating wildly, looking at the scene of His Highness in astonishment, and then at Mu Yuqin, seeing his indifferent appearance, Luoyan's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and fell on the phoenix chair without saying a word.
It turned out that he was going to do it today......
"Bold!" Yang Feng, who had been guarding Bai Xusheng's side, could not stand idly by, although he was extremely surprised by the current situation, he had to draw his sword and step forward to protect the lord and fight with Concubine Xuan. Yang Feng's moves are not weak with Concubine Xuan, and he thought to himself that Concubine Xuan was not on the same front as the Lord? Why did she dance a sword to assassinate today!
"Come on, escort, escort!"
The swords were connected, and someone among the ministers finally exhaled their voices, but the sound of silk and bamboo still did not stop, and half of the guards came in to escort them.
Luoyan's face turned pale, it turned out that everything today, he had already been in secret! This game, he had already set up beautifully, just waiting for his father to enter the set.
"Mother, she dances so well!"
Although Luo Yan was sitting beside Mu Yuqin, he still heard Mu Rui's applause clapping his little palms. Luoyan watched Concubine Xuan's every move intently, and her heart was always hanging and difficult to fall.
