Chapter 113: Palace Banquet
The dinner was held at Changdeokgung Palace.
Emperor Mingde came with Empress Zheng and Concubine Gao Shu, and at the other end sat Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Dowager Zhou.
Baiguan and his wife and children sat on either side.
Mu Zhiling was pulled by Princess Ning He, and had no choice but to sit beside her, and in that position, as soon as she looked up, she saw Emperor Mingde sitting directly above the main hall.
Concubine Gao Shu and Empress Zheng sat on the left and right, while Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Dowager Zhou sat on a higher platform, still sitting on the left and right.
The corners of everyone's mouths were full of gentle smiles, even Emperor Mingde, who had never been smiling, was happy this time, and the scene looked so harmonious.
Mu Zhiling stared at Emperor Mingde for a moment, her breathing gradually became short, she took a deep breath, trying her best to look calm and calm.
But there are waves in my heart.
This is the first time she has seen Emperor Mingde in her life, he sits upright and majestic, and in just ten years, he has cultivated his luxury and deterrence in just ten www.uuxs.cc years.
Thinking that in her previous life, she had secretly left Prince Xin's mansion once, she knelt at the palace gate, but was stopped outside the palace gate by the guards, just at this moment Emperor Mingde was preparing to go hunting, and the city gate was wide open.
Look at the hunting costume that belongs exclusively to the emperor.
She rushed over like crazy and knelt down in front of Emperor Mingde.
She doesn't expect that she can excuse her father, she is just a weak woman, she doesn't have that ability at all, she just wants to see her father.
Song Yingzhao didn't help her, so she thought of going to the emperor. But Emperor Mingde just glanced back at her, and then left indifferently, leaving her with a cold and arrogant majesty that belonged to the emperor alone.
She knelt on the spot and screamed heartbreakingly. But not a single tear was shed.
That was the last time she saw Emperor Mingde, and at that time her eyes were like that of a blind man, and she could only see the color of her clothes, but she could not see people's faces.
In her previous life, she didn't see Emperor Qingde's face until the end, and when she saw her again in this life, his appearance was clearly engraved in her mind.
Emperor Mingde may have been extremely poor all his life, and he felt that he was not wrong.
As an emperor.
As an emperor who is good at suspicion and jealousy.
He's always been so decisive.
But did he ever think that his father was his sworn brother?
She always thought that her hatred for Emperor Mingde was too light.
It wasn't until I actually saw his face today that I understood. Her hatred for him. It is not inferior to Mu Zongsheng and Song Yingzhao.
Mu Zhiling turned her head sideways, unwilling to look at Emperor Mingde again. But the moment he turned around, he saw King Zheng sitting opposite.
There is also Princess Shen, and Zheng Ruoxi, who is only four years old in her arms.
I remember that when I went to the Grange that day, I glanced at it in a hurry, and I saw only a face that was too white and emaciated.
See you today. Seeing her sitting quietly in Princess Shen's arms, her eyes glazed. The motionless appearance makes people feel distressed.
Xu was afraid of such a scene, she bit her lips tightly, and her thin little hands tightly wrapped around Princess Shen's arms.
It's like a porcelain doll without a soul.
His gaze was moving slightly. I saw Zheng Li not far away, he was sitting next to Song Yingzhao, his eyes lowered. The mask is frosty, and I don't know what I'm thinking.
At this time. Listening to Emperor Mingde's deep voice: "Today is the day of Ke'er's wedding to the concubine, and you Aiqing only talk about private affairs, not about state affairs." There are 100-year-old wine and dishes prepared during the banquet, and you can enjoy them to your heart's content. ”
Then he signaled to the eunuch on the side, and the eunuch shouted: "Pass the dancing girl into the palace." ”
Accompanied by the sound of Jinse, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and a group of graceful women dressed in red entered the hall.
Mu Zhiling had already lost interest.
However, she could only sit where she was, unable to move.
Mu Zhishu's slender fingers clasped the wine bottle, and the century-old wine was really fragrant, and it was already intoxicating before it entered the stomach.
Mu Zhishu brought it to her mouth, but before she could swallow it, Mu Zhishuang on the side pulled her sleeve and said, "Second sister, what are you doing, you have never drunk alcohol, what if you are drunk all of a sudden?" ”
When Mu Zhixuan heard this, she turned around and gently attached herself to Mu Zhishu's ear and said, "From the beginning, the second sister only looked at the same place, what was the second sister looking at?" ”
Looking at Mu Zhishu's line of sight, Mu Zhishu looked at Pan Jiaojiao, who was wearing a red brocade robe and wearing red makeup, and was snuggling in Song Yingke's arms shyly, and Song Yingke's hand was wrapped around Pan Jiaojiao's waist regardless of the people in the hall.
I saw Pan Jiaojiao's face crimson, with a shallow smile on her face.
Suddenly, she raised her eyes to look at Mu Zhishu, and her smile became even stronger.
actually held Song Yingke's hand with one hand, and held the wine bottle with the other hand and put it to Song Yingke's lips.
Mu Zhishu wrinkled her eyebrows deeply.
Don't you know that this is in the middle of a dinner party?
Mu Zhishu thought like this, and actually said it for a while.
Although the voice was not loud, Mu Zhixuan and Mu Zhishuang could hear it clearly.
Mu Zhixuan sat up straighter, looking at Pan Jiaojiao's unscrupulous appearance, and the expression she had on looking at Mu Zhishu, as well as Mu Zhishu's gloomy face, the corners of Mu Zhishuang's mouth were hooked.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Halfway through the dinner, Princess Ning He saw Mu Zhiling's uncomfortable appearance, so she pulled Mu Zhiling up and walked outside the palace.
Empress Zheng just glanced at the two of them faintly, and then continued to smile with a dignified expression.
Princess Ning He pulled Mu Zhiling out of the hall through the side door.
Because of the snowfall, the scene in the precincts became a little brighter.
Princess Ning He turned to look at Mu Zhiling and said, "Xiao Wu doesn't like it either?" ”
Although she knew that Princess Ning He was asking knowingly, Mu Zhiling still bowed slightly and said, "How can the princess see it." ”
The corners of Princess Ning He's mouth hooked, and said, "Seeing that you have been frowning and sad, it is difficult to like it." ”
Mu Zhiling lowered her eyes and did not speak.
She really didn't like that kind of scene.
Too many hypocritical people.
Emperor Mingde is like this, Empress Zheng is like this, and Concubine Gao Shu is like this.
Especially Emperor Mingde, as long as she looked at his face, she felt that it was difficult to breathe.
It was he who killed Daddy.
If it weren't for him, how could Daddy be in prison.
It's okay to say he's mediocre, or it's okay to say he's too scheming......
Princess Ning He took her hand and said, "I don't like that scene either, every time there is a festival, or when there is something important in the palace, there are always a large number of people gathered together, obviously hating each other to the extreme, but saying words to please each other." ”
Princess Ning He twisted her eyebrows, pulled her and said, "Do you say that all the women in the palace are like this?" ”
Mu Zhiling looked at her clear eyes, shook her head and said softly: "No, the princess is not such a person. ”
Princess Ninghe sighed and said, "I have lived in the deep palace since I was a child, and from the moment my mother gave birth to me, I grew up beside other concubines, and I didn't return to my mother's side until I was eleven years old. (To be continued) R580
