The sixth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and the royal relatives and military generals of the Xia Kingdom are all invited to the Guanshan Palace. The ministers have spread that the king wants to be promoted to the Qing concubine and make a big fire in Guanshan.

The ministers made their remarks one after another, and the excerpts flew into the Qianyuan Hall like snowflakes, trying to stop Helian from raising the beacon fire. But there are also more people who dare not oppose it because they are afraid of Helianding's majesty, but instead flatter and praise this move for being wonderful, but where the magic is, they can't think of it even if they scratch their heads.

The banquet has not yet begun, and it has been rumored inside and outside Pingliang that Concubine Yuehua Qing is a demon in the world, and the water is red-faced. People are curious about what kind of Lan Concubine, who has been hidden in the harem for many years, looks like a captivating city.

Later, the people who participated in the banquet spread: Yuehua Qing Concubine, beautiful eyebrows. Light makeup and plain clothes, and she is flying. Crystal rain and dew, people see pity.

The banquet was lively and vulgar, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, the banquet was staggered, the words were happy, and the joy was harmonious. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone is bored and tight, and they only greet each other perfunctory. She watched the song and dance, listened to the music, and felt a little irritated in her heart, but her face hid her emotions and seemed full of interest.

After three rounds of drinking, Helian Ding put down the luminous glass, turned his head to her and said, "My Xia Kingdom is good friends with Song Kingdom." When the Emperor of the Song Kingdom heard that my Yuehua had been made a concubine by Lan Concubine Jin, he specially sent an envoy to congratulate him and bring gifts to you. Yue'er, are you interested in taking a look? ”

She bowed her head slightly, Helian Ding waved her hand, and motioned to the palace people to invite the envoys of the Song State to the palace.

The envoys of the Song State went to the palace, their faces were solemn, and their demeanor was calm. He Lianding bowed and bowed, bowed his head and said: "I, the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, learned that Concubine Lan would be named a concubine and listed as the head of the four concubines, and she was actually the lord of the six palaces. The subordinate was specially ordered to send gifts to the mother to congratulate her. After saying that, he waved his hand, and the palace maid rushed in, holding silk and satin one by one.

The envoy explained: "These silks are ordered from Suzhou, Jiangnan, and thousands of embroidery girls are working day and night, weaving these horses, in order to congratulate Niangniang on the joy of Jinfeng." ”

She opened her mouth lightly: "Very good, thank you for the kindness of the Emperor of the Song Kingdom." The messenger is tired. ”

When the envoy heard this, he looked up and saw her, his face was a little surprised, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. Seeing this, Helian Ding lightly hugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "Does the envoy of the Song Kingdom think that my Qing Concubine is very similar to the Zhuohua Princess who was a hostage in the Song Kingdom when she was young?" ”

The envoy nodded, bowed his hand, bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Like, it's not like it." ”

Helian Ding sighed: "I heard that Princess Zhuohua died half a year ago, and I deeply regret it, and my Lan Concubine has been by my side for three years. Her head of 3,000 green silks turned into frost and snow, and it was three years ago that she sucked the poison on her body, so that it was so. ”

The envoy arched his hand and replied, "Your Majesty has written it down." There is another thing, the lower official wants to start the Xia King. This batch of silk was in a hurry, and I came forward to purchase it from the emperor's special order Yunfang. In order to catch up with this batch of silk, Yunfang made great contributions. At this moment, the owner of Yunfang, Lu Yingongzi, also came from Jiangnan thousands of miles away with his subordinates, and was waiting outside the palace to meet King Xia. ”

Helian nodded fixedly, and the eunuch raised his voice: "Xuanlu Yingongzi is here." ”

A young man dressed in moon-white clothes slowly walked up to the hall. Inadvertently, everyone in the hall was silent, and their eyes were attracted by the visitor. He traveled all the way, Xiao Xiao was like a pine, and Xuan Xuan was like a morning glow. When he got closer, everyone in the hall found that he was holding a delicate cane in his right hand, and his right foot was slightly lame, but it could not hide his graceful demeanor.

Seeing him, everyone felt that his demeanor and temperament were incompatible with the magnificent palace inlaid with gold and jade, and he should be in the spring rain and apricot blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River. She secretly thought that she was afraid that the word "Yuehua" would be the most suitable for him.

He walked leisurely, approached the front of the first seat, and looked at her, his eyes like a clear blue sky. He bowed calmly and said, "Lu Yin can serve the king and Concubine Qing for one or two, and he is fortunate to have three lives. I learned that Concubine Qing liked chrysanthemums, and the silk silk woven was the chrysanthemum pattern designated by King Xia, so I asked Niangniang to take a look. His voice was as elegant and clear as a babbling stream, and everyone who listened to it felt that their hearts were ironed soft and comfortable.

Her heart was pounding, and her hand under the wide sleeve trembled slightly. Lu Yin's posture, his eyes, his voice, everything about him was so familiar.

Lu Yin, Lu Yin, in the past and present lives or in dreams, have we ever seen it?

When she was stunned, Helian Ding stretched out his hand to signal, and the palace maid held the chrysanthemum silk in her hand, stepped forward, and displayed it in front of the seat. She stepped down from her seat, looked closely, and nodded in satisfaction as she reached out softly and coolly. Raising her eyes to look at Lu Yin, although only for a moment, her eyes met his crystal bright eyes. He smiled indifferently, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes that he couldn't tell.

She praised: "The silk woven by Lord Lu Fang, this palace likes it very much. The king wants to reward the lord of the boat. ”

Lu Yin said: "The contemptible people also have a silk, which was specially ordered to be woven by the Qing concubine. Although this autumn chrysanthemum is proud of frost, the red plum is more capable of snow. The Qing concubine is peerless, and the beauty is unparalleled. This silk is woven with the pattern of red plum and snow, please forgive the contemptible person for holding it to the Qing concubine. ”

She looked at Helianding, and he nodded in agreement. Lu Yin took a piece of silk and presented it to her. She looked down and saw a number of red plums embroidered on the snow-white silk satin, blooming in the frost and snow, and a few lines of small characters were embroidered in the blank space.

She suppressed the doubts in her heart and praised it: "The meaning of this is excellent, I like it very much." Thank you Lu Gongzi for your kindness. ”

A smile rose at the corner of Lu Yin's mouth, like a spring breeze: "Thank you Concubine Qing for your praise, please Concubine Qing smile." ”

She stretched out her hand to take the silk, turned to Helian Ding, and said, "Thank you for the gifts given to the concubines by the king and the envoys of the Song Kingdom." It's getting late, and the king is making a big fire for his concubines, can you start? ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military generals in the hall all looked pale, and secretly stared at her with raised eyebrows.

An old minister with white hair trembled and stood out, shaking his head and admonishing: "The old minister thinks that this move is inappropriate, and he makes a big fire for Concubine Bo to laugh and interfere with military and political affairs. Never, king! ”

Helian Ding still sat upright, his expression unchanged, "I know that this is the time of troubled times, and it is an eventful time. My Xia Kingdom and the Song Kingdom are good friends, and now the country is peaceful and the people are happy. Although there is a nomadic tribe in the west, Tuyuhun is a side branch of the Murong royal family, but the Yan Kingdom of the Murong clan has long been wiped out, and the side branch is even less fearful. As for raising the beacon fire, I have my own plans in my heart, and my ministers don't need to be afraid. Today is a good day for Lan Concubine Jin to be crowned as a concubine. Concubine Lan has been by my side for three years, and has made great contributions to my great cause of ascending the throne, and has given birth to a prince for me. Hold a beacon fire for her to show my excellent intentions. I have a deep affection for her and my wife, so why not make a demonstration for the people to be happy? ”

Having said that, the old minister at the bottom is still in tears and refuses to give up. Immediately after that, some ministers continued to admonish, and one after another, some ministers stepped forward to ask for a play, calling for heaven and earth, shouting that this matter must not be done. Even the fierce ones touched the pillar with their heads, and their heads broke the blood flow. However, Helian Ding remained unmoved. She sneered in her heart, since ancient times, she has been fighting to the death, and she has been a loyal and brave man.

Taking advantage of the chaos, she raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Yin, only to see that he seemed to be completely out of the commotion in front of her. Lu Yin's eyebrows seem to be a green bamboo forest after the rain, calm and elegant, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, like ripples in the clear lake. The palace maid standing next to him secretly looked at him, her face was slightly red, and the wine jug in her hand seemed to be a little unstable.

She tugged at Helianding's sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "In such a scene, the king still doesn't want to insist on it, right?" After today's incident, I am afraid that the concubine will become what people call a demon disaster in the future, and she may be cursed to go to the eighteenth layer of hell. ”

Helian Ding chuckled, shook her hand, and bowed his head and whispered to her: "Aifei is afraid?" I'm not afraid, I'll take care of everything. If you go to hell, I'm with you! Whether it is a hundred years of history or a stench of ten thousand years, I am with you! ”

She looked into Helian's eyes, and his words were still in her ears, and her heart shook.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about how since ancient times, the concubines around the emperor can be virtuous, virtuous, graceful and generous. If she becomes a demon concubine, she will not be able to accompany the king. Even Helian Ding, who is known as a god-killer, is afraid that he will be worried that the disaster will lead to misfortune and the country, and he will still let himself out of the palace after all.

At this moment, she asked herself in her heart: Isn't the emperor's love the most extravagant? The women of the world cannot afford it, and the women who want it will be cursed. What exactly did I go through with him? He can do this to me. If he is true to me, will I leave him? There was a slight wavering in my heart.

"Then, the concubines and the king will appreciate the beauty that has been seen again for a thousand years, and then raise the beacon fire to mislead the country and the people!" She grinned, radiant and moving.

"Okay." Helian Ding reluctantly looked away from her and gave orders to the palace attendants.

Some of the courtiers below were slumped to the ground, and some were glaring with raised eyebrows. She knew that the courtiers present must have cursed her a thousand times in their hearts. In the next day, the curses of the enchantress, the red face and the water will be very loud.

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she stood side by side with Helianding on the platform, looking at the beacon tower in the distance.
