298. Talent Contest, First Beauty Picture (1)
"Allure, you're not me, I can't be so sure. It's worth it, you're worth it, it's worth my dedication. I also thought about forgetting you, and I thought that I could forget you. But when you appeared, when you appeared in front of me, the moment I saw it, it was just what I thought. I can't forget you at all, and I can't ...... with all I have."
His voice was low, like a blowing breeze, blowing across the heart lake, leaving ripples in circles.
couldn't help it, Mingzhu caught up with Dongfang Yuyu.
In an instant, the seriousness in his eyes, as back then, turned out that he had never stopped in place...... He is still Dongfang Yu, that young man, unstained with the dirtiness of the world, pure and people don't want to hurt.
I don't think so, my lips are revealed, a faint bitter smile.
Yes, connected to the current self, the devastated self also gave birth to a trace of warmth...... It's just that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, he and her are the ends of the world, like parallel lines, never intersecting.
"Dongfang Yu, I say it again, and it is also the last time: I am not Allure, not the Allure you have in mind, but a pearl! Hua Mingzhu, I'm Hua Mingzhu, understand? ”
Tightly, hold the reins in your hands.
Letting it, there was a slight pain, which was transmitted through the body, and there was a little discomfort.
"Allure ......"
"Allure, it's dead!"
Staring at her palm, Dongfang Yu stepped forward with a heart, as for the woman's refusal, it seemed that she had never heard it...... In fact, even if her words are pierced in the heart, she can only pretend not to know.
The love has been in the bones, if you want to pull it out, it is a kind of raw pain!
Heartbreaking, at all costs.
From Dongfang Yu, such a persistent appearance, Mingzhu felt a faint boredom in her heart...... Straight ahead, suddenly, with a whip, with the neighing of a horse, galloped.
Pro, the moment he left, he still left a word.
"Dongfang Yu, don't come any closer! I'm afraid, I can't help but ......"
I'm afraid that I can't help it, use you, and hurt you even more than back then, because it's you, Dongfang Yu...... So, I restrained my demons and didn't want to give you pain, just don't come any closer.
Otherwise, you do it at your own risk!
In the same place, Dongfang Yu was stunned, and for a long time, he did not come back to his senses.
When, he reacted and followed closely, reflecting a little bitterness in his eyes, mixed with seriousness...... Allure, I can't get closer, but in the end, I can't control my body and mind.
In front of the two of them, when they rode to the palace, the palace banquet had already begun.
However, when Mu Ning went to find Mingzhu, Huang Li and Cuiliu opened the door...... Inside, the room was empty, there was no trace of the pearl, only the open window.
After that, it was to search back and forth, but after all, there was no one.
Just faintly, listening to the humane woman in the palace, who seemed to be a pearl, walked through the palace with an anxious expression...... Later, the palace guards were found, which proved that it was indeed a pearl.
The palace banquet in the evening, leaving the palace in the afternoon, has not returned so far.
Hua Feng blocked the news for the first time, but there were still people who discussed it privately...... sent someone out of the palace to find it, and the prime minister of the East traveled together, and the two did not return at the same time.
Yes, in front of Mingzhu and Dongfang Yu, appeared in front of the palace gate.
For a long time, the people waiting at the palace gate hurried up.
That was Hua Feng's person, the palace banquet had begun, Hua Feng and Mu Ning participated in the palace banquet together...... Stayed, Hua Feng's people waited at the palace gate, waited until they found someone, left the palace people waiting, and let them take them to the palace.
"Miss, where have you been?!"
Forsythia came out and went to Mingzhu's side.
Mingzhu frowned slightly, glanced at Forsythia, and said nothing, the latter guessed that there was an accident, and said no more, following closely to his side...... As for Dongfang Yu, he also walked on the side, and in the quiet night, only his footsteps were in a hurry.
Hua Feng's people, at the same time that the county lord followed the palace people to the palace.
hurriedly left the palace and recalled Mingzhu's subordinates back to the house.
Dark clouds covered the sun, and all the surrounding scenes were all pitch black, and there was no light in sight, only the lanterns in the hands of the palace people, flickering and jumping, like a cluster of fire in the dark night.
From the palace gate to the palace, I walked for a while.
In the distance, he stepped on the steps carved with white jade and walked towards the hall.
Seeing that when he had entered the main hall, Dongfang Yu stopped, looked at Mingzhu, and approached...... The palace people in front of him, for this scene, the smart pretended not to listen, and the forsythia had already given birth to one
Silk guard.
"Allure, wait until you get to the palace......"
"Prime Minister Dongfang, when you get to the palace, whatever Mingzhu says, you can echo it."
Don't wait, Dongfang Yu's words are already interrupted, and his faint heart is assured...... After thinking about it, he politely added: "There is Lao Cheng to take care of him, and Mingzhu thanked him first." ”
After finishing the sentence, Mingzhu stopped walking and walked up.
Staring at the woman's figure and thinking about the woman's words, he was obviously very sure and sure...... No longer worried, with some peace of mind, followed her closely.
After all, the palace banquet has begun, and as the most critical person, it has been delayed.
Leave it on the ordinary, and just pour it down.
In front of the emperor, it is difficult to ensure that no one is suspicious, and this is contempt for the emperor!
Compared to the previous one, when he arrived before, there were only Hua Feng and his followers, but now, it is the main hall of the Ming Hall...... Inside, everyone sat there, holding their breath and staring at the women who were walking slowly, one by one.
Mingzhu looked at everyone one by one, and her heart was clear at a glance.
However, when Mu Ning and Hua Feng were found, the former subconsciously wanted to meet him, but was pressed down by Hua Feng...... The latter, with a rather dignified face, looked at Mingzhu in pairs.
Obviously, there is some displeasure.
Can't complain, Hua Feng reacted like this, Mingzhu suddenly disappeared, and the palace banquet had already begun...... Suitable, the saint also asked, but he couldn't answer it, and the people below were already talking about it.
is undoubtedly disrespectful to the saints, and Hua Feng has no way to teach, does not understand etiquette, and so on.
Mingzhu smiled back at Hua Feng, just right.
Hua Feng comforted Mu Ning while following Mingzhu, as if he had the intention to look at her, how could he say it...... However, knowing that he restrained his smile, he walked to the middle of the hall, under the emperor, and knelt down politely.
Her movements are smooth, from entering the temple to the present, the etiquette is exactly the same.
However, everyone pays more attention not to these, but to her appearance.
At this moment, the country and the city are far from enough, and as the woman knelt down, the snow-white long skirt was dragged to the ground...... And she has a light makeup on her face, bright and moving, and she is secretly innate and noble.
"Mingzhu, knock on the emperor."
Mingzhu leaned down slightly, and her words were respectful.
In the hall, there was a man sitting upright, who was already old, especially his eyes, which were faintly cloudy, and the flesh on his face was loose...... Just look at it, it is already a wine and meat pond, and she has been a woman for many years, so that her body has long been hollowed out.
This is the Tanglin Shengshang-Chinese businessman, there is a luxurious woman sitting next to the Chinese businessman, with slender eyebrows and eyes, hidden with a compelling ...... Looking at it, although it is old, it is graceful and charming, revealing the taste of charm.
Undoubtedly, this is the queen - Yao Shuzhen, the biological mother of Hua Qian and Hua Su.
The Chinese businessman looked at the woman below, and his eyes showed a little impatience, obviously instigated by Yao Shuzhen...... He sat there and didn't say anything for a long time, and during this time, Mingzhu knelt there, neither humble nor rash.
And, although Dongfang Yu came here with the pearl.
However, given the right to be exempt from kneeling by Chinese businessmen, Dongfang Yu did not kneel, but stood beside Mingzhu...... Seeing that the Chinese businessmen did not mean to let Mingzhu get up, the officials present couldn't help but fall silent.
From time to time, he glanced at Hua Feng and Hua Shang.
Mu Ning was distressed, and couldn't help but want to get up, and was pressed there by Hua Feng silently...... At the same moment, he looked at the pearl who did not make a sound, but patiently thought, and a trace of satisfaction appeared on his lips.
Time, quietly, flows.
Finally, Dongfang Yu stepped forward and knelt down: "Weichen, knock on the saint." This time it is late, I hope that the Holy God will punish ......"
The reason why Dongfang Yu chose it at this time was not in advance.
Not because of anything else, but because of the fact that the Chinese businessman deliberately punished Allure for kneeling and did not let Allure kneel for a while, so he knelt down like this in advance...... The emperor's heart is incomprehensible, and he may have other ideas to make it difficult for the city.
Because of Dongfang Yu's party, the Chinese businessman raised his eyelids.
"Aiqing, don't be polite. I know Aiqing, there must be something, it's too late......"
The Chinese businessman said slowly.
Instead, he condensed the pearl and glanced at Hua Feng: "This is the child that the imperial brother has found?" It would be rude to have so many people, including me, wait for her to come......"
p
Hearing this, Hua Feng's face remained unchanged, and he got up slowly: "What the imperial brother taught me is that I am not strict in discipline. Pearl, why is it too late? It's not a playful ......."
At the end of the sentence, Hua Feng was mixed with a trace of anger, and he couldn't tell the truth from the false.
Mingzhu raised his eyes and looked at the Chinese businessman above, his face full of grievances: "Mingzhu is not playful, Mingzhu just thought that when he entered the palace for the first time, he was fortunate to see the emperor, and he was happy!" Mingzhu has been looking up to the emperor for a long time, but when she saw the emperor immediately, she was empty-handed, and she had the heart to please the emperor, so she slipped out of the palace and wanted to find a gift for the emperor......"
The woman's voice was fluffy and soft, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
With his appearance, many men present gave birth to a little inquiry, and in the middle, there were men...... In the back garden, I have seen the cruel method of the woman punishing Dongfang Xiu.
On the contrary, I can't be disgusted.
Such a psychology is full of contradictions, as if such a woman can't love or hate.
"Oh? Unexpectedly, the county lord has this thought! It's just that I don't know, what gift did the county lord find? ”
Obviously, when you hear it, it's an excuse.
However, the respect for the Chinese businessmen revealed in the words made the hearts of the Chinese businessmen relieved...... And, with Yao Shuzhen's words, she also has a heart, take a look at the gift.
Yao Shuzhen sneered, not to mention that there are no gifts, even if there are gifts, what can be worthy of the most honorable person in the world? Yes, no matter what Mingzhu's answer is, there is a gap!
"The queen forgives her sins, Mingzhu didn't find a gift!"
Mingzhu blinked her eyes, making people think that this was a simple child.
But seeing that, she hesitated, and when Hua Shangyin was displeased, she continued: "Your Majesty, the pearl has been in the market for a long time, and all kinds of expensive and rare things have been looked at one by one!" It's just a pity ......"
The words are not finished, but they have stopped.
The Chinese businessman became interested, and continued: "What is a pity? ”
Yao Shuzhen narrowed her eyes coldly, only to feel that this Hua Mingzhu was not simple, and she unconsciously threw a look at Hua Feng...... The latter, as if aware of it, smiled slightly, just right, without a trace of worry.
"It's a pity that precious and rare items are rare! However, the dignity of the emperor is unique in the world! In the end, Mingzhu was not found, and he was worthy of the emperor's honorable gift......"
Mingzhu said sincerely, and in the end, she seemed to hang her head in shame.
And, the Chinese businessman above obviously believed it to be true, and he was full of joy: "Brother Huang, you are really sensible ...... pearl in your palm."
This is the emperor, a moment ago, because he was late, he already had a plan in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, because of the flattery, the mountains were not dewed, and the eyes were blinded.
Mingzhu lowered her head, sneered unconsciously in her heart, and poured out the information given to her, and she looked at them one by one...... Above, everyone's personality is thoroughly touched, especially the Chinese businessman, who seems to be the emperor, but in fact he is in poor health, loves beauty, and likes to be flattered.
Perhaps, when he first ascended the throne, he could still be diligent in government and love the people.
However, over the years, due to *** heart, the original ambition has long been lost, and in comparison, it is Hua Feng who is better...... Those few loyal ministers have gradually lost confidence in Chinese businessmen.
"Lord Mingzhu, you are indeed sensible! It's just that what he said is not true......"
Yao Shuzhen seemed to be smiling, and said so.
It seems to be inadvertent, but in fact it is with a hint of doubt, obviously not believing it, Mingzhu's words...... At the same time, the Chinese businessman stopped smiling and stared, but some of his old eyes were dizzy and he couldn't see the exact appearance of the woman.
Listening to the voice, it is faintly numb, with some well-behaved.
"Is the queen suspicious of the pearl? Mingzhu can barely lie a thing or two in the face of others, but for the emperor, how can he talk nonsense......"
As if he was wronged, Mingzhu's eyes were full of tears, which made many people present feel a trace of inquiry.
Is this true or false?
However, the next moment, Mingzhu pouted and fell in love with Dongfang Yu: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, why don't you ask Dongfang Prime Minister." When I left the palace, I happened to meet the Prime Minister of the East, and I once asked the Prime Minister of the East what the emperor liked and what he didn't like, in case Mingzhu bought a gift and the emperor didn't like it. The Prime Minister of the East, seeing that Mingzhu was sincere, accompanied Mingzhu and went to the palace together, but in the end he did not find it, worthy of the emperor's gift. Mingzhu originally thought, look for it again, the Oriental Prime Minister said, the palace banquet is too late, we just rushed back! If so, the emperor still doesn't believe it, and Mingzhu is willing to accept the punishment......"
With the pearl, word by word.
p>
Only then did everyone remember that she was late with Dongfang Yu and arrived at the palace together...... In this way, it has added a bit of credibility, and everyone knows that Dongfang Yu is a person.
Come to think of it, Dongfang Yu is not close to women, and at the same time it is fair and just, so it should not be covered.
I couldn't help but look at Dongfang Yu in unison, wanting to confirm the news from his mouth...... However, Dongfang Yu was a little surprised, listening to the sentences on Mingzhu Road.
If it weren't for it, he knew the ins and outs of the matter, and just by seeing her appearance, he couldn't help but believe it.
She is making a show, but it is as if it were real, which makes people involuntarily believe it...... I couldn't help but think of three years ago, and my heart hurt, but it turned out that it was really just a show, and that's it.
Thinking so, he met her eyes, as quiet as the bright moon: "Back to the emperor, what the lord of Mingzhu said is true." ”
In his life, he has told very few lies.
And this time, the lies on the road were hesitant, as if they were really like what Allure said...... They walked around all afternoon, looking for gifts for Chinese businessmen, and they couldn't help but believe what they said.
"Queen, it's hard for Mingzhu to think about it, how can you question it so much......"
The Chinese businessman was a little displeased, and said a word to Yao Shuzhen.
Instead, he slowly got up and walked down from the dragon chair until he arrived in front of Mingzhu...... Stretched out his hand and slowly helped the pearl on the creeping ground up.
"Mingzhu, you are a sensible child! I believe what you say is true......"
was supported by Chinese businessmen, the emperor of Tanglin, so supported.
Mingzhu, who doesn't like people to get close, has some disgust in his heart, but he still pretends to be happy and raises his eyes...... Straight, he greeted the Chinese businessman, and his eyes were deliberately mixed with the taste of reverence, which was hidden and dazzling.
"Mingzhu, thank you, Your Majesty."
With such a statement, staring at the man in front of him, he became more and more disliked.
Is this still an emperor?
In his eyes, there was even a trace of clarity, and although his face was a little handsome, he was already old...... Even on the hair, there are squirming white hairs, and the majesty that an emperor should have, there is also no trace of it.
However, the Chinese businessman held on to the pearl and did not return to his senses for a long time.
The girl's clever smile was extremely intoxicating when she came into her eyes, and she never thought that she would have such a stunning ...... The eyes of the Chinese businessman looked at the pearl tightly, and the more he looked at it, the more amazing he became, it seemed that if it wasn't, the identities of the two would not allow it.
has already made an order and sealed the concubine.
"The Emperor's ......"
Dongfang Yu stared at the Chinese businessman, quietly, approached, and said a word.
Only then did the Chinese businessman come back to his senses, let go of Mingzhu's arm, and patted Mingzhu's shoulder instead...... Immediately afterwards, he threw himself on Hua Feng and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, it's really blessed to have such a daughter......
Hua Feng left his seat, walked over, and replied: "Zhu'er has just returned home, and she is still a little ignorant, I hope the imperial brother will forgive me!" ”
The Chinese businessman said no more, and stepped back to the top position.
And, before taking a step, he glanced at Mingzhu again, vaguely with an unknown look, but partial to covet...... Wait, when he arrived at the dragon chair, he sat there slowly, quite absent-mindedly, and let Yao Shuzhen catch it.
looked at Mingzhu's eyes, mixed with a trace of dislike.
Dongfang Yu was worried, and threw a look at Mingzhu, she was taking out a handkerchief and wiping it intentionally or unintentionally...... The place where you wiped it was nothing else, it was the place where the Chinese businessman held it just now.
Vaguely, Mingzhu, Huafeng and Dongfang Yu, thinking of Huashang, just now looked deeply.
In my heart, a sense of foreboding passed.
It's just that before I can figure out what it is, the palace banquet has begun, and next, it is the finale...... And the source of this finale undoubtedly stems from the talent of the daughters of each family, especially the concubines.
Hua Feng focused his gaze on Mingzhu, who was unfazed.
Inexplicably, staring at the face that was somewhat similar to him, something came to mind...... Perhaps, the woman in front of him maybe, is really his daughter?!
