Chapter 90: Enchanting the Imperial City
In the midst of a difficult wait, the sun gradually set in the west, taking away the last rays of sunlight, and the night gradually opened its arms to the world. The remnants of snow on the ground had not yet disappeared, and the wind blew on the face, bringing a cold and biting breath.
"The hour has come, and it's time for us to go." Chen Xi changed into a gorgeous dress, with a red lotus flower on his forehead, and several exquisite golden steps in his hair. She is already beautiful, and when she dresses up like this, she can't take her eyes off it.
"Let's go? Didn't you say that Shen Yao came here? ”
"Oh...... I forgot to tell you, I remembered the wrong day, Shen Yao came to me tomorrow, and today Shen Yao set up a family banquet. Don't let anything go wrong for a while. ”
Zhiyan draped a thick cloak on her body, nodded helplessly, and her figure disappeared from the air in an instant. Sure enough, he was cheated by Chen Xi again.
The weather outside was bitterly cold and windy, but inside the main hall it was as warm as spring. Zhiyan quietly hid behind the pillars in the hall, yawning, and watched boredly as the concubines over there rushed forward to perform the show. The so-called family banquet in the palace is just a platform for the concubines to compete for favor and intrigue.
Zhiyan saw Shen Yuqing sitting very close to Shen Yao, smiling and talking to Shen Yao, but he could still see his tiredness. In the past two days, the palace and Lan Yurou ran on both sides. It's really hard for him. Zhi Yan wanted to tell him about Chen Xi's affairs and asked him to properly remind Shen Yao to be careful, but he always had no chance. When Chen Xi became the queen, he immediately took away her memories, so that nothing would happen, and it could be regarded as a happy ending.
"Your Majesty, the concubine recently learned a few tricks from the previous patriotic artists in the palace, and I want to show it to the emperor, so that the emperor can see if the concubine has become good or not." Chen Xi stood up and slowly walked to the center of the main hall. Hearing everyone's discussion and ridicule, she was not annoyed, and the smile in her eyes was as bright as the sunshine in spring.
Shen Yao looked at Chen Xi and smiled slightly, with a doting look in his eyes that was not disguised, "Xi'er can change if she wants to, let me also open my eyes, is the trick of defending the country good or bad compared to my Daqi." ”
It's time to play! Zhiyan quickly ran to Chen Xi's side and coughed lightly to indicate his savings.
A smile spread out at the corner of Chen Xi's mouth, and he nodded lightly. Everyone saw her long sleeves wave, and most of the candles in the hall were instantly extinguished, and only the dragon chair above was illuminated by candles.
"Please don't panic, the concubine has to become a trick, and she is only beautiful in a dark place."
The moonlight shone into the hall through the window, and everyone couldn't see what Chen Xi was doing, only a vague shadow of her, and the cold light reflected by the beads on her body in the moonlight.
Suddenly, Chen Xi turned slightly in place, and purple butterflies slowly flew out from her fingertips, and the butterflies flew up and down in the hall with a faint purple light, as if bringing everyone present into a beautiful dream. One of the butterflies slowly flew in front of Shen Yao, and suddenly disappeared the moment Shen Yao's fingertips touched it, turning into a fragrant magnolia.
Shen Yao smiled lightly, and was about to say something, but he felt that his eyes suddenly became bright, and there was a warm breeze blowing in his ears. He stood up in surprise, only to find himself in a sea of blue-purple flowers, with a clear stream flowing past him with pink fallen flowers. All the concubines, princes, and princesses were also taken aback, and couldn't help but start talking and admiring.
Throughout the year, the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter flashes in front of everyone like a marquee. A snap of fingers sounded in the air, and a qiē phantom slowly disappeared, pulling everyone back to reality.
Immediately after, a golden dragon soared and tumbled in the air with the light of the fire, letting out a deafening roar. Many concubines and palace people couldn't help but exclaim, and they all hid backwards, knocking over the cups on the table. The golden dragon was constantly flying and circling in the air, and suddenly, its body turned, reined in its domineering energy, and slowly flew towards Shen Yao like a pet.
Just as the golden dragon was about to approach Shen Yao, her body began to flicker and darken, and she suddenly disappeared. With a strange sound from the door of the hall, all the lights in the hall were lit up, and Chen Xi stood in the center of the hall dignifiedly, smiling like a flower.
"Good, good!"
Shen Yao clapped his hands happily and laughed, and immediately gave Chen Xi a lot of jewelry and silk. Chen Xi smiled happily, and the moment he lowered his head, a little worry flashed in his eyes. She knelt down gracefully and thanked her, wiping away a small piece of inconspicuous blood from the red carpet with a handkerchief without leaving a trace.
The dinner party dispersed, Chen Xi had just returned to the dormitory, and a large number of jewels and silks were also sent over, and they appeared here at the same time as a holy decree of Shen Yao, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Jieyu Chen Xi, diligent and submissive, Yonghe pure, gentle and gentle, virtuous and internal, Shude Hanzhang, Henghuang has rules, bowing and prudent, and peaceful temperament; Bow cautiously, the name of the tree is in the pepper. He was immediately canonized as Concubine Chen. ”
Before a cup of tea, Shen Yao didn't bring a eunuch and guards, and came to Chen Xi's bedroom alone. He took off his dragon robe and changed into a black robe. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is also a lot less majestic color in the main hall.
A little surprise flashed in Chen Xi's eyes, and he greeted him with a flawless smile. "Why is the emperor here at this time? And I didn't bring a squire with me......"
"What, I'm coming to see you, you're not happy?"
Hearing him call himself me, Chen Xi was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a smile, "No, the concubine doesn't dare." ”
"Don't call yourself a concubine, and don't be my emperor," he grabbed his cold hand and smiled softly, "Tonight, I'm just your husband." ”
"Husband...... Jun ......" Chen Xi tugged at the corners of her mouth, and this word was always a little stiff when it came out of her mouth.
Shen Yao led her to sit down on the high steps in the high hall, and a pair of broad and powerful hands gently hugged her in his arms. He sniffed her hair, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't know where his eyes were going. Suddenly, he smiled softly, but a tear slowly crossed out of the corner of his eye.
"The Emperor...... Husband...... What was the husband thinking? It's thinking about the deceased imperial ......" Chen Xi turned to look at him sideways, and before he finished speaking, he was hugged by Shen Yao sideways, lying on the steps and unable to move. He kissed her deeply on the lips, and when he opened his eyes to see her embarrassed look, a childlike prank that had succeeded in his eyes flashed with a wicked smile.
"You...... You promised not to touch me......"
"Don't mention her, it's just a punishment."
Chen Xi was helped up by him, redone, and twisted his head to the side angrily. Shen Yao looked at her in his eyes and smiled lightly, his eyes full of warmth. "You...... It's really like her, and even the angry look is exactly the same. ”
