Chapter 119: Family Feast
Imperial Palace
The lanterns are brilliant, the palace people are early, they will clean the palace spotlessly, the layout of the palace is also extremely luxurious, in the courtyard, dozens of pots of lotus flowers bloom in the flower pot, the gentle breeze blows, brings a slight lotus fragrance, and adds a touch of freshness.
Imperial Thai Palace as the previous palace of the imperial concubine, the emperor since the death of the imperial concubine, he ordered people to clean every day, all the arrangements in the palace, are also ten years like a day, has not changed, but for today, the emperor actually invited Mo Taihao in this imperial palace banquet, but it is a little puzzling, since the death of the imperial concubine, twelve years, the emperor has been jealous of the imperial palace, no one dares, trying to mention the imperial concubine, today, the emperor's approach, but also make the harem concubines guess.
The Imperial Palace, which has been quiet for a long time, is very lively today.
All the concubines and princes all entered the table early, even Yunqi also appeared in this Imperial Palace, Zhu Yanxi stepped into the Imperial Palace, and the grand reception showed that the emperor attached great importance to this banquet.
Mu Concubine, with the support of Xiaoliu, also came, looked at Zhu Yanxi stopped at the door, and said softly: "I saw that the county lord was stunned by the luxury of this Imperial Palace~"
Mu Concubine's voice made Zhu Yan look back, today's Mu Concubine, dressed in a light yellow palace dress, plain dress, makes her beautiful posture more prominent, pregnancy has not made her look haggard, on the contrary, it adds to the softness.
"Yan Xi has seen Mu Concubine Niangniang!" Zhu Yan cherishes the gift and blessing the body.
"The county lord doesn't have to be polite, the county lord must have never seen such a scene, so this palace is not strange~" Mu Concubine said sarcastically, and Xiao Yanagi's eyes also had a flash of brilliance.
Nan Xian and Zhu Yanxi just looked at Xiao Liu beside Mu Concubine, it seems that this Mu Concubine is intentional.
"What Concubine Mu said is that Yan Xi never knew that the imperial concubine Niangniang had been gone for twelve years, and she was still in the emperor's heart, occupying such an important position, Yan Xi also thought that the grace of Mu Concubine Niangniang was the deepest, it was indeed Yan Xi, and she had never seen the world." Zhu Yanxi smiled shallowly, "Yan Xi won't bother Niangniang, Nanxian, let's go~"
Seeing Zhu Yanxi leaving slowly, Xiaoliu was indignant, "Niangniang, look at her, what do you mean!" ”
"Humph! Zhu Yanxi is sharp-toothed, when he saved Liu Dianzheng before, why didn't he ignore the palace so much! Mu Concubine pretended to be annoyed and showed it in front of Koyanagi.
"Speaking of which, when you were killed by a traitor, the slave maid went to beg Yan to pity the county lord, and she also saw death and did not save her, but at that time, she was still in this palace and served as the palace official, and it was already like this, and now you are the county lord, I am afraid that it is even more unscrupulous." At this moment, Xiaoyanagi is fanning the flames as much as he can.
Mu Concubine looked at Xiao Liu, it seems that this Yu Guifei is the next move, which is to deal with herself and Zhu Yanxi, but think about it, it is normal, Yu Guifei is not a good master, the Queen Mother that day, I am afraid that if I think about it carefully, I still have some doubts about myself and Zhu Yanxi.
However, even if she didn't come to stretch out her hand to herself, she didn't plan to let her Hei Shuyu have a good life, that day, it was true that Concubine Li's affairs were defeated, but this guard, after investigation, was the person of this Yu Guifei, then, it was not Concubine Li who wanted to kill herself, but this Yu Guifei, and this Xiaoliu begged Zhu Yan to pity, just in case! With such a vicious mind, how could he be so kind and resigned.
Mu Concubine stared at Xiao Liu for a long time, and then laughed softly, "What about the county lord, as long as she is still in this harem, this palace is not afraid, so why ignore her!" ”
Xiao Liu looked at Mu Concubine's face, the corners of her mouth, hooked up the arc, it seems that the method of the concubine Niangniang will soon be effective, Xiao Liu helped Mu Concubine and slowly walked into the Imperial Palace.
Sparsely, the harem concubines have also arrived, and the emperor of Guizhu Country originally had five sons and three daughters, but unfortunately they all died early, and now, in addition to the second prince Tuoba Yuanqiong and the fourth prince Tuoba Weijun, only the prince Tuoba Si remains.
Zhu Yanxi looked at the man on the left side of the front, not as cold as Tuoba Yuanqiong, nor as gentle as Tuoba Weijun, thin posture, a little weak, on the face, also fair and feminine, wearing an apricot yellow robe, the dragon statue with four dragon patterns is lifelike, but the loneliness in the eyes is a little unbearable.
Zhu Yanxi frowned, this prince was born by the queen's aunt, his age is the same as himself, he should be well protected by the queen's aunt, how can it be like this, lonely!
Nan Xian followed the direction of the young lady, attached to Zhu Yanxi's ear and said: "Miss, that is the crown prince Tuobas, I have already inquired, it is said that the queen mother's favor for the prince of the dome, even more than the prince, for the prince's requirements, since childhood, has been very strict, the prince returned yesterday, the queen mother just lightly recounted the family routine. ”
Nan Xian's words made Zhu Yanxi's brows deeper, among the princes, although Tuobas is the prince, he is not favored, as we all know, the emperor is very fond of the prince of the firmament, and he is also reused for the prince, but Tuobas, although he is the prince, he does not go to the court, and has no real power, just like a puppet who must have the title of the prince, even as a hostage, he was pushed out without any suspense.
In contrast, Zongzheng Wuhe invited him to Ying, and Tuobas was indeed sent out by the queen and the emperor without reluctance, but I am afraid that the prince's life is not good.
Feeling Zhu Yanxi's gaze, Tuoba Si also looked over, and Zhu Yanxi lowered his head.
And at this moment, the people outside the palace also caused a lot of movement, Zhu Yanxi looked up, only to see Mo Taihao's dark cyan robe, with an evil smile, walked into the Imperial Palace, and behind him, followed by a woman, tulle covered, thin waist, light green Wangxian skirt, dragging the ground, following Mo Taihao in a thousand postures.
The sound of discussion everywhere also more or less reached Zhu Yanxi's ears.
"Lord Hao, how could he bring a woman in today?"
"It is said that although Lord Hao is not romantic, there are many beautiful concubines, could it be that this woman was met in Guizhu Kingdom?"
"It won't be dedicated to the emperor~ But it's impossible, today is the death day of the imperial concubine, and Prince Hao shouldn't be like this~"
The low and detailed discussion voice made Zhu Yanxi's smile deeper, this is the most unlikely, often the most possible, I am afraid, Tuoba Yuanqiong chose Mo Taihao to do this thing, not only because it is scary, but also because Mo Taihao has always acted unconventionally, and it is reasonable to do so.
Mo Taihao passed by Yan Xi's side, but he stopped meaningfully, looked at the woman behind him, and said respectfully: "This is the wife of the Lord of the Dome who is about to pass the door, the county lord of Yan Xi." ”
Mo Taihao's action made the people who originally speculated more and more puzzled, this Hao Wangye's respect for this woman is already incomprehensible, and at this moment, he actually introduced the wife of the prince of the dome who has not passed the door, what is the origin of this woman!
Just when everyone is speculating~
"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! A shrill voice came from the door of the palace, and I saw the emperor and the queen walking into the palace together.
Everyone saluted one after another, and the emperor and the queen were very husband and wife, holding the queen's hand, and sat down steadily, only then did he say in a deep voice, "Flat~"
Then
Only then did the emperor turn to Mo Taihao, "Prince Hao hasn't seen him for a year, but it's good lately!" ”
"Emperor Lao has remembered, everything is fine." Mo Taihao smiled, "It's the new funeral of the queen mother, and this king originally thought that this aunt's family banquet would not be held." ”
On such an occasion, Mo Taihao mentioned the death of the Queen Mother, and the smile on his face was undoubtedly not provocative, but for Mo Taihao's style of doing things, at this moment, the emperor was not surprised, not to mention, the Queen Mother passed away, and the emperor decreed marriage, and in the past few days, for the Queen Mother's affairs, it is also extremely low-key, and the beautiful name is the meaning of the Queen Mother, but I am afraid that the emperor still has a grudge against the Queen Mother.
However, looking at it now, the emperor and the queen mother are somewhat similar, selfish, and the same!
"The Queen Mother has a life, I naturally follow the Queen Mother's order, and Yuan Qiong's marriage will be in four days, and at that time, Prince Hao can also talk about it." Although the emperor's face was a little unhappy, he also hid it well.
"Today, the king asked the emperor for permission to set up a banquet in this imperial palace, and there is a gift to be presented to the emperor." Mo Taihao got up and said.
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Prince Hao has traveled thousands of miles, and this time he is selling Guanzi like this, I am curious~"
"I believe that the surprise of this king can soothe the emperor's sorrow today." Mo Taihao arched his hand, and nodded sideways to the woman behind him.
I saw a gentle voice, and sang softly, and the faces of the queen, Yu Guifei and others also changed slightly.
The emperor sat in a high position, his eyes were a little foggy, his hand holding the chair handle, trembling slightly, at the end of the song, the woman walked lightly, walked to the center, and knelt down, "People's girl Zhang Lan, knock to see the emperor!" ”
In the main hall, there was silence in an instant, and everyone looked at the emperor's expression, all kinds of thoughts, and turned a thousand times.
After a long time, Emperor Tuoba Minghan shook his head, knowing that today's events were set up by Yuan Qiong and Yan Xi, and he actually lost his mind. "Pull down the veil, I'll look at you!"
The emperor's distraction and the words at this moment made all the concubines worried, and by virtue of the emperor's will, I am afraid that this woman has entered the emperor's heart, but I don't know what the face under this veil is!
I saw that the woman's slender fingers covered her sideburns and gently took off the veil, and the face under the veil made Concubine Yu and other old people gasp, but these people who had never been in contact with the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief.
