Ruan Xian followed Yan Xu into the splendid Wanfu Palace, the magnificent scene of the Wanfu Palace, the emperor and the concubine sat on the main seat in complicated and gorgeous formal clothes, below is the empty dance floor, at this moment on the dance floor a beautiful girl in a beautiful costume is stroking the qin, the sound of the piano is lingering, a wisp of wisps into the ear, intoxicating. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This woman's appearance, posture, and talent are all top-grade, and she is really good.
Yan Xu took Ruan Xian and waited silently on the side, and when the woman finished playing, the emperor and everyone praised and rewarded her. Yan Xu took advantage of this gap and stepped forward to say, "Your Majesty, the palace maid Ruan Xian has arrived." ”
The emperor's eyes moved, and the smile on the face of the concubine sitting next to her became even brighter and charming, and she swept her eyes at the door and saw Ruan Xian. After thinking about it, his eyes moved slightly, and he fell on his son, and saw that although his son was sitting upright, his eyes looked straight in the direction of the entrance of the main hall. Her eyes were slightly downcast, and a little unhappiness suddenly swelled up in her heart.
This Ruan Xian is really a fox, and it only took a few days to make her Yun'er like this. While thinking about it, her eyes vaguely looked at King An who was sitting on the prince's seat, and when she saw that King An was also looking at the door with an excited face, a vicious fire suddenly gushed out in Lan Guifei's heart with the momentum of a prairie fire.
She looked fiercely at the door of the main hall, and saw Ruan Xian dressed in ordinary palace clothes, standing honestly three steps behind Yan Xu, looking tied. Concubine Lan has been in the palace for 20 years, and for the first time she has been so attentive to an ordinary palace maid.
"Xuan."
The emperor took in everyone's eyes with great interest and bowed his head slightly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance of the main hall, Ruan Xian slowly walked to the center of the main hall, and saluted skillfully, "Slave Ruan Xian, see the emperor, see the concubine Niangniang." ”
"Look up." On the high platform, the emperor said lightly.
Ruan Xian raised her head obediently, her beautiful facial features were exposed in front of everyone, and a series of scrutiny, scrutiny, doubt, ridicule, and indifference slid over her. It was the first time for Ruan Xian to stand in front of so many people so openly, everyone here had a higher status and more power than her, she was just a little palace maid with no foundation.
"It's good-looking." The emperor looked at her fixedly, then withdrew his eyes lightly, and turned his head to look at a middle-aged woman on the right with an indifferent and graceful expression, "Imperial sister, this is Ruan Xian." "The whole world is not the king's land, the emperor has not seen what kind of beauty he has seen since he was a child, Ruan Xian looks good, but in his eyes, it is nothing more. Moreover, Ruan Xian did not carefully clean up herself, and her original beauty was reduced by three points.
The woman's appearance was bright, her facial features were distinct, and she was even more luxurious and extraordinary, and she was quite imposing. I saw her slowly turn her head, and her scrutinizing gaze fell on Ruan Xian, with a faint majesty, "You are Ruan Xian?" Did you make this sour soup lamb? ”
Ruan Xian hurriedly replied, "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, it was made by the slave maid." ”
Those unintended eyes pierced her like the tip of a needle, Ruan Xian felt a thorn in her back, her palms were already wet with sweat, and when she entered the palace just now, she saw King An sitting on the prince's seat at a glance. is still the appearance of a noble son who is as gentle as jade, but Ruan Xian knows that this person is a jackal wearing human skin.
"I can't imagine that you have such a good skill at a young age, this sour soup mutton is delicious and fragrant, with vegetables underneath, and the cooking method is even more novel, who do you learn from?" The eldest princess of Jianyang sat in her seat, her tone was gentle, with a condescending questioning taste.
Ruan Xian knew in her heart that the eldest princess of Jianyang was not good, she took a deep breath and said calmly, "Back to Her Royal Highness the princess, the slave maid does not have a master, this dish was inadvertently conceived by the slave maid and developed in the discussion of Master Jia and others in Izumo Palace. ”
As soon as these words fell, there was a burst of clear voices from the surrounding crowd.
If you don't have a master, you have to discuss it with the imperial chefs of Izumo Palace? Just ask a little palace maid and the imperial chef, everyone will naturally think that this sour soup mutton is actually developed by the imperial chefs, but this little palace maid has benefited, which is reasonable.
Everyone didn't know what to think, but the eldest princess of Jianyang smiled faintly with unknown intentions, and suddenly turned her head to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this palace looks at this palace maid quite pleasing to the eye, it is rare that she still has good cooking skills, Your Majesty might as well reward this girl to me, right?" ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Ruan Xian's head seemed to be buzzed by a hammer, what? The eldest princess of Jianyang actually opened her mouth to ask the emperor for her? She suddenly subconsciously turned her head to look at King An, who was sitting in front of the desk like a gentleman, as if he noticed Ruan Xian's gaze, he turned his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes showed a little smug and imperative gaze.
Ruan Xian felt a chill in her heart and immediately lowered her head.
The heart was cold, and he couldn't help but tense all over, in order to achieve his goal, this King An actually cooperated with the eldest princess of Jianyang?
The emperor looked at the eldest princess of Jianyang in surprise, and secretly thought that the imperial sister had always lived in a simple place, and it was rare that he would ask for a palace maid? His eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but take a closer look at Ruan Xian, but he didn't see anything special. Concubine Lan, who was sitting next to her, thought about it a few times, and smiled gently, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess is afraid that she doesn't like this palace maid's good cooking skills." ”
The Emperor smiled at her, and was about to say yes.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Hanyun, the eldest prince below, immediately stood up respectfully and said, "Father, mother, Ruan Xian is a person from my Izumo Palace, I am afraid that I will disappoint the imperial aunt, and my sons are still reluctant to give up her good craftsmanship." ”
Suddenly, all the eyes of everyone in the hall focused on him, and some people were suspicious and looked between Zhu Hanyun and Ruan Xian. Almost at the moment when Zhu Hanyun got up, Lan Guifei's face sank, she almost gritted her teeth secretly, and looked straight at Ruan Xian with a fierce gaze, a trace of killing intent crossed by!
The eldest princess of Jianyang didn't expect that she would ask for a palace maid, but there was someone to stop her, she was dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she smiled faintly at Zhu Hanyun, "Imperial nephew, there are many talents in the palace, and the imperial chefs have their own strengths, could it be that you are still reluctant to be a little palace maid?" ”
This is simply heart-wrenching!
Ruan Xian's face turned pale, and she felt the devouring gaze from Concubine Lan from the upper seat, cold sweat soaked her back, and her whole body stiffened.
Zhu Hanyun's face remained unchanged, still with a smile, "Aunt Huang is considerate, Ruan Xian is the most powerful palace maid in my Izumo Palace, and this palace relies on her a lot, and I also ask Aunt Huang not to worry about her nephew." ”
The eldest princess of Jianyang narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this, and her voice was cold, "How did I hear that this Ruan Xian has only been to your Izumo Palace for ten days?" ”
Zhu Hanyun immediately raised her head in surprise, "Why is the imperial aunt so clear about the situation in the Izumo Palace?" ”
The eldest princess Jianyang's face changed suddenly, and she was about to say something when she opened her mouth, but the emperor on the throne moved faster than her, "Yun'er, don't be rude!" After a pause, his eyes swept over the hall, "Tomorrow you will come to the imperial study." ”
The emperor's face was not good-looking, and everyone immediately trembled and did not dare to speak again, and there was silence in the Hall of Ten Thousand Blessings for a while. The words of the eldest princess of Jianyang were blocked in her mouth, her face was ugly, and King An was drinking wine without caring about himself, and he couldn't help but sit up straight at this time.
