The Northern Desert Emperor has always liked to be lively, on Chinese New Year's Eve, ** concubines, princesses, civil and military officials, gathered together for the New Year, nothing more than a lively, a little festive, lively, the most not. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Murong Chenxi and I came to the palace gate, got out of the carriage, and I followed him through the doors and corridors, and from time to time I met people in the palace saluting and saying goodbye. Because I have lived in the palace since I was a child, I still know a little about the structure of the palace, and I have been to the palace before, so I am already familiar with it.

Murong Chenxi only cared about walking in front, looking back at me from time to time, and I followed him closely, occasionally looking around casually. The palace is no better than the palace, and it takes some time. I finally arrived at the Imperial Garden, and I breathed a sigh of relief. To sit down, look up, 10,000 lights, wine and food, civil and military officials have already sat aside, I took a closer look at the people here, in addition to the emperor's sons and wives are carrying their families, young people sitting alone, the concubines and princesses in the palace are gradually gathered, sometimes listening silently, sometimes smiling and talking, so lively.

Some time ago, there was a dead silence due to the death of Concubine Jin, but now there are constant laughs, although it is common for the palace to be born, old, sick and die, but when he is alive, the scenery is infinite, all of them are flattering, people are gone, and how many people are really concerned? Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart.

I secretly glanced at Murong Chenxi, his expression was indifferent and unhappy, he looked at him neither speaking nor paying attention, as if he was listening and as if these had nothing to do with him. Maybe he noticed that I was staring at him, he looked back at me, the future and dodge, just met his gaze, he just looked at me, maybe he understood the origin of my sadness, his expression was slightly moved, and then he leaned into my ear and whispered: "If you don't feel comfortable in your heart or hide it or forget it for a while, it won't be so uncomfortable." ”

After speaking, he still looked calm, I was slightly stunned, he remembered his mother in his heart, now this scene, how can he laugh and be happy? But he acted indifferently, obviously suffering in his heart, and pretending to be okay to face everyone, I used to be like him, once I did it, it was difficult.

At this time, the chief eunuch came over and shouted, "The emperor has arrived." ”

Seeing that the emperor was coming, everyone immediately got up and knelt down to salute, and there was silence below.

The emperor walked slowly and sat down with the support of the eunuch, and when the emperor sat down, the eunuch Lu Shang next to him shouted: "Get up!" ”

Only then did everyone stand aside, a little restrained, not as casual as before.

The emperor smiled thickly, looked at everyone in the audience with a gentle face, and said: "This Chinese New Year's Eve, it is rare to celebrate the New Year, everyone is more casual, you don't have to be as restrained as usual, sit on the handle!" ”

The emperor spoke, and everyone sat down.

I looked at the smiling emperor, like the lonely expression I saw in the Jinfei dormitory that day, he judged the two of them, how long has it been, and he has left the person who has just left behind, only to see the new person forget the old one. At that time, I couldn't get used to the ** concubines fighting for the favor of the royal brother, and what if I got it, now that I think about it, it is better not to fight for favor than to spend most of my life, at least I am at ease.

Seeing that I was in a daze, Murong Chenxi gently touched it and reminded me, I was so busy that I forgot that this was in the palace, and the emperor's ministers were there.

"The sons wish their father, the emperor and the queen mother every year to have today, and every year to have today." The fifth prince Murong Chenhao got up and held a wine glass and congratulated respectfully, only later did he know that he was a military general, often guarding the frontier outside, his maternal grandfather was a general in the court, and he had followed his grandfather to learn to train soldiers and fight since he was a child, Murong Chenxi's kung fu on the battlefield I have seen, I have never seen him, but I heard that Murong Chenhao is also quite meritorious in leading troops to fight, I don't know who is slightly inferior to him or Murong Chenxi.

The emperor smiled and drank the wine glass, then motioned to Murong Chenhao to sit down, and at the end, he looked at Concubine Rong beside him and said quietly: "The five princes often guard the territory for my Northern Desert Town outside, and it is rare to get together during the New Year." ”

Concubine Rong was dressed in gorgeous clothes, high-end and extravagant, with a smile on her face, and said: "The five princes have been filial piety since childhood, and it is of course incumbent on them to do their part for the Northern Desert. The words are full of joy.

I noticed that the other concubines were envious, which was tantamount to showing it on their faces.

There is a general's father, and he gave birth to two princes for the emperor who are very outstanding in terms of appearance and ability, and now Concubine Rong is the most favored in this palace.

At this time, the palace maid and eunuch came over with the meal in a neat and orderly manner, and I couldn't help frowning slightly when I saw Murong Chenxi looking at the food in front of me, but it quickly dispersed again, and after thinking about it, I naturally understood what was going on in my heart.

The people present saw that the emperor opened the chopsticks and then followed the meal, but they did not see Murong Chenxi moving the chopsticks. The careful emperor looked around, saw this, and asked, "Chen'er, what's the matter, this dish is not to taste?" ”

Although the emperor is worried about Concubine Jin, the tiger poison does not eat children, and he is more satisfied with him, and it is normal for people to care.

Murong Chenxi hurriedly got up and replied, "Thank you for your concern, it's not a matter of food, it's a matter of sons." ”

The emperor looked at him suspiciously, but did not speak.

"Back to my father, after the queen mother left, the prince was worried, so he decided to keep filial piety for the queen mother and eat vegetarian for two years, and he would not touch any meat and fishy food." I hurriedly stood up and spoke for him.

Murong Chenxi looked at me, and in the past few days, I found that the food prepared for him in the kitchen was vegetarian and light, and I found out that it was he who ordered it.

The emperor's face was solemn, and I said that Concubine Jin recalled the past.

The emperor asked, "Chen'er, as Bingxi said, is this true?" ”

When the emperor asked, Murong Chenxi replied; "Back to my father's words, everything is the fault of the sons, when the queen mother was alive, she failed to fulfill her filial piety in front of her, and now that she is gone, the sons also hope to do something for her to think that she is in the spirit of heaven." The words express their feelings of self-blame.
