Chapter Ninety-Six: Dreams and Reality
Murong Jiu's illness came and went, and finally the day before the queen mother's birthday, he stabilized and settled, okay
The weather is hot, and the birthday of the Queen Mother is set in the evening. ∥s…… However, since the end of the day, hundreds of officials have entered the palace with their families one after another.
Such a grand palace banquet invited hundreds of officials and some big families, and there were so many people that it took a long time just to queue up to enter the palace.
Some families with lower ranks or weaker power will arrive early. First, it is impossible for them to let the big man come before them, which is extremely disrespectful; Second, arriving early can also have more time to socialize.
Therefore, the higher the grade and the harder the power, the more it will appear later.
Murong Hao and Xuanyuan Ze were responsible for the security of this time, and they did not return to Murong Mansion as soon as they entered the palace in the morning.
And as Murong and his wife, they don't have to arrive early, Murong Jiu, as their daughter, of course follows them, when they leave, she just follows.
The banquet started at the beginning of the year, and they arrived very early around the unitary time. Therefore, Murong Jiu, who was just sick, secretly went to Meiyuan and Zhuxiang Youju, and after each turned around, he returned to Qingzhuyuan when he was in Shenshi, bathed and changed clothes, and prepared to enter the palace for a banquet.
In view of her illness, Murong Jiu made some hands and feet on his face, making his face still look a little pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. Otherwise, if you enter the palace with a ruddy face, it will be suspicious.
Murong Jiu's makeup is still plain and elegant, wearing a light purple gauze skirt and a white light gauze gown. A simple short snail bun with two purple hostas diagonally inserted to match the skirt. The slightly pale face can't hide the elegance and indifference.
Murong Jiu's speed was very fast, and with Die'er's skillful hands, it only took half an hour for Murong Jiu to finish dressing up. And as soon as she was ready, Mrs. Murong also happened to order someone to urge.
Die'er was calm and careful, and Murong Jiu decided to take her into the palace with her. After taking a self-portrait in the mirror again, and after making sure that there was no problem, Murong Jiu took Die'er to the door of the mansion.
Not long after Murong Jiu arrived at the gate, Murong Haoxuan and Lady Murong also came to the door. After Murong Jiu greeted his father and mother, he got into the carriage with the two of them and went to the palace.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the palace, it was neither early nor late.
The banquet is set up in the Taihe Palace, and the people who participate in the banquet first enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden with dim sum. More than half of the people have arrived, and the entire Imperial Garden is full of people. The sound of chirping and all kinds of aromas caused Murong Jiu's deep sense of hearing and olfactory nerves to be disturbed, and Yan Zòng's feeling was breathless.
Entering the Imperial Garden, Murong Haoxuan went to chat with his colleagues, leaving only Murong Jiu and Mrs. Murong and the two of them beside Die'er and Xiaohe.
The Murong family has never had much contact with the outside world, but there are still some necessary courtesies and social interactions.
After Murong Haoxuan left, Mrs. Murong took Murong Jiu and wanted to greet a few familiar ladies, but found that something was wrong with Murong Jiu halfway.
"Jiu'er, what's wrong with you" Seeing Murong Jiu frowning and looking uncomfortable, Mrs. Murong asked worriedly.
"It's okay, maybe I'm not used to this kind of scene." Murong Jiu smiled slightly and said lightly.
"It's okay, this kind of big palace banquet is a bit noisy, but there are not many palace banquets like this in a year." Mrs. Murong said softly.
"Got it, mother. Don't worry, I can handle it. Murong Jiu chuckled.
Seeing that Mrs. Murong was worried, Murong Jiu didn't want to, so he put on a smiling face, tried to relax as much as possible, and tried to ignore the discomfort.
"Huh." Mrs. Murong patted Murong Jiu's little hand and said lovingly: "Otherwise, you can go to the side to breathe, but don't go far, come to your mother in a while." ”
"Oh, it's okay, then I'll go to the lake and sit down." Murong Jiu pointed to the lake not far away and said.
"Well, go ahead." Murong Fu's face was full of pampering and smiled.
Separated from Mrs. Murong, Murong Jiu took Die'er and came to the lake. She didn't know the name of the lake, but it was oval-shaped, and there was a river that bent and stretched out to no avail. The scenery is pleasant.
Murong Jiu and Die'er walked along the lakeside, but let them find a place that was more secluded in the noisy environment at the moment. This is a rockery, Murong Jiu and Die'er bypass the rockery, sitting on the stone steps near the lake, the breeze is light, but it is also comfortable.
"Miss, this palace is so big, so beautiful." Butterfly exclaimed.
"yes." Murong looked at the lake, and said quietly.
"Did Die'er say something wrong" Die'er saw that Murong Jiu's eyes were distant and distracted, as if there was a trace of sentimentality, and said doubtfully.
"No, I just feel that this palace should indeed be so magnificent and magnificent." Murong Jiu's voice was quiet, like a gust of wind, which was unpredictable.
"Yes, this can also attract the yearning of countless people." Die'er didn't know the meaning of Murong Jiu's words, but she was infected by Murong Jiu's feelings, and without thinking about it, it overflowed from her mouth.
"The new makeup should be under the Zhu Building, and the spring is deeply locked. Go to the atrium and count the flowers, and the dragonfly flies up to the jade scratching its head. Murong Jiu whispered softly, sighed lightly, and then said, "I don't understand." ”
Die'er looked at Murong Jiu in front of her, and had a hazy feeling. She didn't understand Murong Jiu's words very clearly, but she felt it, and she didn't like this palace.
In the deep palace, there are three thousand beauties, the newcomers laugh and the old people cry, come in with anticipation, and end up resentful. But every year, there are still countless people who want to come in, just for that little hope
The tragedy of the harem is an enlarged version of the backyard of the house, but it also makes Murong Jiu see more clearly.
If you want to live happily, it is necessary to stay away from the aristocratic imperial power
Alas, it's easy to think, one or two of her family are generals, and now they can only think about it.
Murong Jiu was silent in thought, and Die'er didn't bother, just stood quietly aside, and the surroundings seemed silent for a while.
The sun has set in the west, and the setting sun reflects the surface of the lake, reflecting the golden light. The lakeshore pavilions and rockeries, the shadows of trees and people, are isolated from this small square circle. It seems that the crowd has nothing to do with her.
One leaf, one Bodhi, one flower, one world.
Murong Jiu, who had been quiet for a long time, hooked his lips and smiled, and his smile became more and more indifferent.
"Miss, what are you thinking?" Die'er asked softly with a little depression.
That ethereal smile made Murong Jiu look like an illusory figure in the morning fog, which would dissipate at any time. At this moment, Die'er's heart hung in a hurry, which made her nerves tense, and she panicked for no reason.
Murong Jiu raised his eyes to look at Die'er, saw the worry in her eyes, and smiled lightly.
It seems that her sudden disconnection scared this girl
However, at this moment, she seemed to have understood something, and she couldn't grasp it, but her irritable heart calmed down and became much clearer
