Even Chu Xiangwan had to admire the Queen Mother, tonight's new palace concubines not only have inextricable interests behind them, but also all of them are beautiful and talented. The order of the whole Hundred Flowers Banquet is random, there are two little eunuchs holding a box, one box contains the name of the palace concubine, and the other box holds the performance items, and the two little eunuchs draw a lot at the same time, and then the palace concubine comes forward to perform.

The first one to be drawn was Li Jieyu, who was going to perform the lyre, and she played a song "Flowing Water". When she was playing the piano, she looked at Huangfu Jingwen affectionately, and Fang Xiaozhou next to her said with a side face: "Fox, staring at the emperor like this, is it to seduce the emperor?" ”

Chu Xiangwan felt that the emotional charm in this Li Jieyu's piano voice was superior, and when her eyes looked at Huangfu Jingwen, her feelings were sincere, if it wasn't deliberately pretended, then Chu Xiangwan admired such a talented and good-looking woman.

After the song was played, everyone present praised the light and beautiful sound of the song, and Lijie Yutingting stepped forward in a curling manner, and said to Huangfu Jingwen with a shy face: "The concubine is ugly." ”

The people in the back performed calligraphy, dance, poetry, and painting, all of them were outstanding, but honestly, Fang Xiaohan was indeed the most eye-catching among the concubines. Maybe it was arranged a long time ago, Fang Xiaohan's performance tonight is still what she is best at. She wore an apricot-colored gauze skirt tonight, the skirt swayed with the movements of her body, and her waist was gently held by a white ribbon, and the whole person was not in her hand, like a fairy in the Moon Palace, Chu Xiangwan smiled slightly, I have to say that the Queen Mother really has a heart, she knows what her son likes and dislikes, therefore, she has Fang Xiaohan's dress tonight, hoping to make Huangfu Jingwen unforgettable. In the final analysis, the others are just Fang Xiaohan's foil.

"Fourth brother, this Fang Xiaohan can be regarded as a beauty second to none in the capital, last time you refused the Queen Mother's marriage and abandoned such a beauty, it's a pity." Huangfu Jingbian smiled at the next table and said.

"Sixth brother, it's disrespectful for you to say this, Fang Xiaohan is already the emperor's Yun Zhaoyi, and it is a capital crime to covet the emperor's woman. It's better not to mention the past. Huangfu Jingyao pushed Huangfu Jingbian back with a word.

The Queen Mother spoke: "Your Majesty, who do you think is the best performance tonight?" ”

Huangfu respected the meaning of the Empress Dowager Bai, he glanced at Chu Xiangwan, and replied lightly: "Erchen thinks that Yun Zhaoyi is the best. What does the Queen Mother think? ”

The Queen Mother was very happy: "The emperor's vision is very good, and the mourning family also thinks so, what do you think?" The Queen Mother asked the people below.

No matter who was present who had objections, they all agreed, and praised Yun Zhaoyi's wisdom and talent, in short, it was a voice of praise.

"That being the case, the Oiran of tonight's Hundred Flowers Banquet is Yun Zhaoyi. Yun Zhaoyi, go back and prepare. ”

As soon as the Queen Mother said this, everyone understood in their hearts that it was Yun Zhaoyi who was the first to sleep in the palace this time. When the other concubines heard this, they were all depressed, but this result could have been foreseen a long time ago, with the queen mother, Yun Zhaoyi would have a prosperous day in the future.

Fang Xiaohan's face was calm, he just said "yes" and went back to his residence. Chu Xiangwan couldn't see whether she was willing or unwilling, she intuitively felt that she didn't like the emperor too much, and always felt that Fang Xiaohan's temperament was much calmer when she entered the palace this time, but since she had already entered the palace, she couldn't choose the future path by herself.

At this time, the Hundred Flowers Banquet was already boring, and the Queen Mother had achieved her goal, but she was not interested in staying any longer, she said to Huangfu Jingwen: "Your Majesty, the mourning family is also lacking, let them all disperse." ”

The queen mother left, the princes and nobles of all families also knelt down and left, Chu Xiangwan was also about to leave, Huangfu Jingwen grabbed her arm and said: "Xiangwan, although I don't want to do some things, I can't help but do them, you have to be considerate." ”

Chu Xiangwan patted Huangfu Jingwen's hand: "Your Majesty, the concubines understand that the affairs of the harem are the affairs of the previous dynasty, and Yun Zhaoyi is bright and moving, the emperor should care for it, and the concubines will not be jealous." ”

"Are you not jealous or don't want to be jealous? I really hate your sensibility sometimes. Chu Xiangwan didn't speak, because she didn't know how to answer. This is the first time that Huangfu Jingwen lost his temper in front of Chu Xiangwan, he finally brushed his sleeves away, Chu Xiangwan recalled his words, yes, if Huangfu Jingyao spoiled other women today, would she still be so calm?

Chu Xiangwan took Qian'er, and as soon as he came out of the imperial garden, he met Huangfu Jingbian. Chu Xiangwan quickened his pace, not wanting to have too much entanglement with this emperor Fu Jingbian. Who knows, this Huangfu Jingbian blocked her way, stared at her face and laughed: "Niangniang, tonight is Yun Zhaoyi's bed, aren't you in a hurry to go back and keep the empty boudoir alone?" ”

Meng Lang, who said this, drank some wine, and Huangfu Jing became more and more bold and explicit when he spoke. Chu Xiangwan didn't expect that this emperor would be so presumptuous, and there was a slight anger on her face: "King Law, it's not too early, you should leave the palace." ”

"Why should the mother refuse people for thousands of miles?" After speaking, Huangfu Jingbian stepped forward and wanted to grab Chu Xiangwan's arm.

"Lord Wang, what are you going to do?" Qian'er stepped forward and wanted to block Huangfu Jingbian's hand, but who knew that Huangfu Jingbian was thrown away and fell to the ground. hit her head on the tree next to her, and Qian'er's forehead suddenly bled profusely.

"Qian'er!" Chu Xiang went to help Qian'er at night, but was pulled by Huangfu Jingbian again. Huangfu Jingbian's strength was very great, Chu Xiangwan couldn't break free at all, her body was unstable, and she fell into Huangfu Jingbian's arms.

"Let go of me, Huangfu Jingbian, you are so bold!" Chu Xiangwan scolded angrily.

Huangfu Jingbian's eyes were confused, but he just hugged Chu Xiangwan tightly, looked at her face and said, "It's so beautiful." ”

"What are the sixth brother and Concubine Yan doing on this big night?" A familiar voice sounded behind Chu Xiangwan.

Hearing Huangfu Jingyao's voice, Huangfu Jingbian's wine woke up most of the time. He immediately let go of Chu Xiangwan and pretended to be calm: "It turned out to be the fourth brother, who should I be, suddenly made a sound, which scared me," he prevaricated again, "Concubine Yanniang walked unsteadily, I just helped her." ”

Huangfu Jingyao didn't make a sound, just stared at Huangfu Jingbian quietly for a while, and Huangfu Jingbian felt furious, I don't know how much Huangfu Jingyao saw just now, if it is passed out, the emperor will not spare him, and Zuo Xiang's side will also cause a lot of trouble.

"By the way, it's getting late, and it's time for me to go home. Fourth brother, younger brother went back first. Huangfu Jingbian didn't wait for Huangfu Jingyao to answer, turned around and left in a hurry.

"Hongxia, this little maid is injured, you take her down to bandage."

"Yes, lord." Hong Xia helped Qian'er up, and before leaving, she glanced at Huangfu Jingyao worriedly.

The vast Imperial Garden is quiet again. It was already dark, and Chu Xiangwan actually couldn't see Huangfu Jingyao's face clearly, but his voice reassured her, and the moment he spoke, her nervous heart calmed down.

"You, why are you still in the palace?" Such tranquility was very ambiguous, and Chu Xiangwan was the first to speak.

"If I don't come, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Why not let it go? Chu Xiangwan really doesn't deserve to be treated like this. Thinking of all the things that happened to Fang Cai, Chu Xiangwan burst into tears.

Huangfu Jingyao gradually approached, he gently wiped away the tears on Chu Xiangwan's face, stared at her with burning eyes, and said: "You can let go, but you can't let go of your heart, from the moment you fell off the cliff, Huangfu Jingyao's heart is already here with you." ”

"Brother Yao," Chu Xiangwan's tears couldn't be stopped, she didn't know how to solve this dead end, "What should I do?" ”

"Okay, it's getting late, I should send you back to the palace." Huangfu Jingyao thought in his heart that no matter what, he would not let go.

Chu Xiangwan knew that Huangfu Jingyao's avoidance was to avoid the two of them from arguing if she continued to talk about it, but she really didn't want to see Huangfu Jingyao and Huangfu Jingwen meet each other one day.

Along the way, no one spoke again, and the two walked one after the other. There are some feelings, even if Chu Xiangwan desperately tries to escape, it can't be, just like just now when she was despised by Huangfu Jingyao, just like the surrounding darkness now, as long as there is a place where Huangfu Jingyao appears, she can always feel at ease.

There are still a few steps to the gate of the palace, Huangfu Jingyao stopped and said to Chu Xiangwan: "Just send you here, if I appear, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble, you should be careful, take care of yourself." After speaking, Huangfu Jingyao gently squeezed Chu Xiangwan's shoulder.

Chu Xiangwan nodded, and when Huangfu Jingyao turned around to leave, she still said, "Brother Yao, go back to the border as soon as possible." ”

Huangfu Jingyao didn't look back, his tall body paused in the darkness for a moment, and strode away.

Chu Xiangwan looked at his departing back and said softly, "I'm not at ease if you're like this." ”

When he returned to Guanju Palace, the dormitory was brightly lit, Chu Xiangwan walked a few steps to the dormitory, and actually saw Huangfu Jingwen sitting at the table and drinking by himself. She walked to the table, knelt down and said, "Why is the emperor in the palace of the concubines?" ”

"What, is there a place in this palace where I can't go?" Huangfu Jingwen had never spoken to Chu Xiangwan in such a questioning tone, and tonight's words in the Imperial Garden probably really made him angry.

Chu Xiangwan bowed his head and replied: "The concubines don't dare, drinking alcohol hurts their bodies, the emperor should drink less." ”

Huangfu Jingwen didn't let Chu Xiang get up late, nor did he speak, just poured wine one cup after another.

Chu Xiangwan couldn't stand it anymore, she sighed and stopped the wine that Huangfu Jingwen was about to send to her mouth: "Your Majesty, you really can't drink anymore." ”

Huangfu Jingwen turned sideways, took advantage of the situation to hold Chu Xiangwan's hand and said, "You still care about me, don't you?" For a while, he stared into Chu Xiangwan's eyes, waiting for Chu Xiangwan's answer affectionately and infinitely.

Chu Xiangwan turned his head and deliberately avoided: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back to the Minxun Palace, Yun Zhaoyi is afraid that she has arrived at this moment." ”

"You get up," Huangfu Jingwen suddenly pulled Chu Xiangwan up, and the atmosphere that had been slightly better was broken by a sentence of "Yun Zhaoyi", "You just want me to spoil other women?" ”

"Your Majesty, you let go of the concubines first." Chu Xiangwan's arm was grabbed by Huangfu Jingwen.

"Xiang Wan, are you hard-hearted? It's been three years, my sincerity, do you turn a blind eye? Your indifference, your generosity, your calmness, are all disguises that you don't care about, I really want to tear off this mask at the moment and see what the real you are like. ”

"The emperor wants to be angry and punish the crime, please also tomorrow, tonight the queen mother has arranged for you to sleep with Yun Zhaoyi, the emperor should not live up to the queen mother's hard work." Chu Xiangwan didn't know that saying this would only incur the anger of Huangfu Jingwen even more.

"Bedchamber?" Huangfu Jingwen suddenly laughed, "Okay, good, according to me, your hard work is no less than that of the Queen Mother." If you want to talk about virtue in this harem, you are really second to none. ”

Chu Xiangwan knelt down again: "Please ask the emperor to go back to the palace as soon as possible to rest." ”

"You can think about it, you let me go, I go, you don't want me to come back." Huangfu Jingwen drank a lot of wine tonight, and he was completely angered by Chu Xiangwan's attitude.

"Congratulations to the emperor." Chu Xiangwan lowered his head.

"Hmph." Huangfu Jingwen flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Chu Xiangwan stood up, his body shook, and he was a little unstable. There are so many things going on today, she feels exhausted, it seems that everyone is having trouble with her, is it really so difficult to live quietly?
