Shi Yang didn't care, he pulled Nangong Rui out of the "Huafeng Palace", and now the most aggrieved person may be Nangong Rui, who was pulled away just now.

Jinxin saw that Shi Yang was gone, so he went up and asked Lu Mingyue: "What did Shi Yang say just now?" ”

Lu Mingyue whispered in Jinxin's ear about Yanying's letter, Jinxin was also full of joy, Jinxin knew why Lu Mingyue's eyes were red.

Night is gradually coming, Jinxin, Shimo, and Shiyu are waiting for Lu Mingyue to freshen up, and the New Year's banquet is about to begin.

Huangfu Changyuan came to the "Huafeng Palace" with brisk steps, and called Lu Mingyue when he entered the door: "Yue'er." ”

Lu Mingyue was combing her hair by Shimo in the back room, and when she heard the voice of Huangfu Changyuan, she didn't immediately get up to greet her, but glanced at Shiyu.

Shiyu went out to greet Huangfu Changyuan very sensibly: "Monarch, the mother is grooming." ”

"Yes." Huangfu Changyuan sat outside and waited for Lu Mingyue.

The poem served tea for Huangfu Changyuan, and retreated to the side to wait.

Lu Mingyue got dressed, got up and walked out.

Huangfu Changyuan listened to the movement, and his body stood up involuntarily, and his eyes looked in the direction of the inner room.

The purple sleeves appeared in Huangfu Changyuan's sight, and then the white jade hand in the sleeve gently lifted the veil by the door, and the figure slowly walked out, Huangfu Changyuan stared at the figure nervously, and the figure gradually became clear, but he was suddenly startled, and it was Jinxin who came out.

Before Huangfu Changyuan woke up, Lu Mingyue came out behind Jinxin, followed by Shimo.

"See the king." It wasn't until Lu Mingyue walked to Huangfu Changyuan's side that Huangfu Changyuan came back to his senses, saw Lu Mingyue saluting, and hurriedly helped Lu Mingyue up.

Huangfu Changyuan looked at it again, Lu Mingyue was not wearing white clothes today, but wearing a gorgeous dress that the queen of the country should wear, with golden light and heavy headdress, quite the style of the mother of a country, but it lacked Lu Mingyue's own indifference.

Huangfu Changyuan frowned slightly, and looked at Lu Mingyue: "Yue'er, you don't have to be like this. ”

Lu Mingyue shook her head: "It should be like this today." ”

Huangfu Changyuan's eyes were full of distress, but he was a little happy.

Lu Mingyue looked at Huangfu Changyuan, dressed in a dragon robe, majestic and noble.

Huangfu Changyuan's personal eunuch reminded Huangfu Changyuan: "Monarch, it's time to invite the Queen Mother." ”

Huangfu Changyuan said to Lu Mingyue: "Let's go." ”

Lu Mingyue followed Huangfu Changyuan to the Empress Dowager's palace.

The people in the harem and the ministers of the court, the relatives of the emperor, all went to the banquet to wait for the three of them.

Concubine Li was wearing a water-red carved silk peony jade brocade pomegranate skirt, sitting in the third position on the left side below, but her eyes looked at Concubine Lan who was sitting in the second position opposite.

Concubine Lan was dressed in an autumn-colored dark flower rattan pattern cloud brocade pleated skirt, and she was also covered with a Hunan coat, which was wrapped very tightly, and sat there quietly.

Concubine Li didn't like Concubine Lan and pretended to be tall, but now Concubine Lan is close to Lu Mingyue, and she doesn't like it even more, but Concubine Li looks at Concubine Lan's sick body, and she is a little happy in her heart.

"The monarch has arrived!" The eunuch guarding the door passed the word, and everyone in the hall hurriedly stood up in an orderly manner, waiting for the arrival of Huangfu Changyuan.

Huangfu Changyuan walked to the door, let the Queen Mother in first, and then stepped into the main hall with Lu Mingyue.

The three of Huangfu Changyuan slowly walked to the top and sat down, and everyone in the hall immediately knelt down and saluted: "Weichen (concubines, concubines, concubines) see the monarch, the queen mother, and the queen of the country, may the monarch, the queen mother, and the queen of the country be blessed and healthy, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!" ”

Everyone wished in unison, and the voice resounded through the hall.

"Flat." Huangfu Changyuan asked everyone to get up, and everyone obediently got up and sat back in their places.

"Today's New Year's banquet, everyone is not restrained, everyone is free." Huangfu Changyuan said to the people below.

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

"Singing and dancing." As soon as the old eunuch shouted, several women danced to him, and the music sounded, and several women danced.

The Queen Mother glanced at everyone and found that in this warm room, only Concubine Lan was tightly wrapped, thinking that Concubine Lan had not recovered from her serious illness, and it was reasonable to wear more clothes, so she didn't think much about it.

At this time, the prime minister got up and came forward to toast the queen mother: "Minister, I wish the queen mother a long life and good health......" said the queen mother smiled, and directly drank the wine in the cup.

The prime minister toasted to Huangfu Changyuan again: "Minister, I wish the monarch ......"

Huangfu Changyuan also did everything, and returned a glass to the prime minister: "The prime minister has done his best for the country......" After speaking, the two drank another glass.

The prime minister finally toasted Lu Mingyue: "Minister, I wish the queen ......" After speaking, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, thinking that he was crying with joy when he saw his daughter.

Lu Mingyue quickly stood up, got down and walked to the prime minister's side, and called out affectionately: "Dad, my daughter will always be my father's daughter." Let everyone see that it is a father-daughter relationship.

The prime minister suddenly whispered in Lu Mingyue's ear: "Xue'er has sent a letter, and she is doing well." ”

Lu Mingyue nodded: "That's good." ”

The prime minister toasted, and then toasted the three of Huangfu Changyuan one after another.

Huangfu Changyuan is considerate of the Queen Mother and Lu Mingyue, and their drinks are specially made fruit wines, which are sweet and not easy to intoxicate.

In the middle of the banquet, the minister's daughter came out to present her talents for the queen mother, the monarch, and the queen of the country.

Clear-eyed people know that it's as simple as showing their talents, isn't it that each family is vying to recommend their daughters to the Queen Mother and Huangfu Changyuan.

"The courtier Murong Qing is willing to present a song for the queen mother, the monarch, and the queen of the country, wishing a good country, a good country, and peace and security." A beautiful man dressed in blue clothes slowly stepped forward from the back of the crowd and knelt down.

"Exactly." The Queen Mother happily agreed.

Murong Qing sat upright in front of the piano and began to play.

The concubines in the harem didn't want to listen, they ate and drank by themselves, and let Murong Qing concentrate on playing the piano.

The sound of the piano is ethereal, but it has not yet reached the upper realm, and Jinxin on the side is used to hearing Lu Mingyue's piano sound, but he thinks Murong Qing is too young.

After the song was finished, someone said that the sound of the piano was better than the sound of the sky, which made Jinxin laugh.

After that, many women came out to show their talents, and Huangfu Changyuan would always peek at Lu Mingyue and find Lu Mingyue sitting beside him calmly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, silent.

Huangfu Changyuan was inevitably a little disappointed, and Lu Mingyue did not react.

The daughters of the ministers showed their faces, and the concubines in the harem naturally couldn't lose the battle, and they also came out to perform, Lu Mingyue watched a smokeless war between women in vain, but she had to be funny, and she herself seemed to be involved.

The small display in front is all a small fight, everyone here knows that the highlight of tonight is the contest between Concubine Li and the queen of the country, with the queen mother in the middle, the victory or loss of this contest determines the change of the situation in the harem in the future.

Concubine Li strode out of the crowd, with an imminent momentum, saluted the three above, said some words, and was about to start her solo dance.

"Please allow the concubine to go down and change her clothes first." Li Concubine said to the top.

"Hmm." The Queen Mother nodded, and Concubine Li retired.

Everyone in the hall began to eat and drink again, and the Queen Mother suddenly looked at Lu Mingyue and said gently: "Shouldn't the queen of the country also prepare?" ”

Lu Mingyue responded to the Queen Mother: "Yes." Then he retreated and prepared to go.

After a cup of tea, Concubine Li changed her clothes and came back.

The lights suddenly dimmed, the music started, and the center suddenly lit up, and Li Concubine, dressed in pink, was standing under the light, and the whole person became the brightest focus.

Li Concubine stood quietly for a while, until the music reached a certain point, Li Concubine suddenly danced, light and agile, following the music, and suddenly turned into a smart elf, attracting people's attention to follow her dance.

Lu Mingyue changed her clothes and looked at Li Concubine quietly in the dark, Li Concubine usually dresses very charmingly, and she danced today, she is really a playful little fairy daughter, no wonder Li Concubine is proud of her dancing posture.

Lu Mingyue couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart, "If you really compete with her, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win." "Fortunately, Lu Mingyue is not taking the smart route, this is comparable.

Huangfu Changyuan's eyes moved slightly, "I didn't expect Concubine Li to have such a moving side." I couldn't help but worry about Lu Mingyue, in this dim light, looking for Lu Mingyue's figure, and I didn't know if Lu Mingyue had returned.

When the music stopped, Li Concubine settled beautifully, and put on a beautiful ending dance, and the audience applauded.

The lights suddenly turned on, and everyone's eyes seemed to have found some treasure, staring at Li Concubine and couldn't come back to their senses.

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile on her face.

Li Concubine searched for Lu Mingyue's figure in the crowd, and suddenly found that in the corner of the wall, Lu Mingyue was standing there quietly, so Li Concubine cast a provocative look.

Lu Mingyue thought about how she got involved in this harem battle.

After Li Concubine, it was naturally Lu Mingyue, everyone in the hall was searching for Lu Mingyue's shadow, Lu Mingyue walked out from behind the crowd generously, saluted the Queen Mother and Huangfu Changyuan, and then looked at Jinxin, Jinxin nodded.

Lu Mingyue was dressed in snow-white clothes embroidered with red peonies, standing in the center of the hall, not as amazing as the lighting effect of Li Concubine's appearance, but with her innate temperament and good appearance, she naturally became the focus of the audience.

When the music started, Lu Mingyue also rose, her footsteps moved, but she didn't have the agility of Concubine Li, and Lu Mingyue's dancing posture seemed gentle.

Concubine Li looked at Lu Mingyue's unpopular dancing posture, with a smug face, and despised Lu Mingyue in her heart, "I dare to come out and offer ugliness if I dance like this." ”

In fact, Lu Mingyue's dancing posture is okay, even if she dances after Li Concubine, it is inevitable that Li Concubine will take away the limelight, and everyone in the hall will not feel amazing when they look at Lu Mingyue's dancing posture.

Huangfu Changyuan stared at Lu Mingyue without blinking, and he was also worried in his heart, no matter what the result was, he would protect Lu Mingyue.
