Chapter 034: Behind the Conspiracy (4)
Hua Yongyan was still the same as before, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a powerful aura, but for some reason, now Jian Ning saw a trace of kindness and kindness in his body.
Mianyin and Hua Yongyan walked side by side, even though their faces were veiled, but they did not affect Mianyin's beautiful grace at all. She was high, like a queen, and she did not lose her light by half a point because of Hua Yongyan beside her.
Compared with the two in front, Concubine Rong Jia in the back is much inferior.
This is the first time Jian Ning has seen Concubine Rong Jia, I heard that this concubine is relatively weak, and she often recuperates in the palace, and rarely attends such banquets.
Concubine Rong Jia was delicate, and her already fair complexion lacked a hint of ruddy because of her weak body. I don't know if it's because of her identity, or because of something else, she wears too many elements of Mianyin. Looking at the past from afar, she is a sick beauty.
But what makes Jian Ning strange is that she is such a pitiful person, but she can't have the slightest good feeling!
After the three of them were seated, it was inevitable that there would be another salute and greeting. Jian Ning has never liked these false courtesies.
"Since I ascended the throne, the country and the people have been safe, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there are many princes under my knees, which should be considered complete. But I have always had one regret, and that is that I have not had a princess by my side. ”
Hua Yongyan's voice was thick and magnetic, and he said loudly to the people below, "But now, my only regret has been completed, I am very relieved, very relieved!" ”
The chief eunuch beside Hua Yongyan saw the opportunity and stepped forward and shouted, "Princess Xuan is here!" ”
With this voice fell. Ruan Zijin was dressed in a red palace costume and walked in slowly with the support of the palace maid.
Jian Ning couldn't help but be a little surprised, she never thought that one day Zijin would be so beautiful, so ladylike, and so quiet.
"I've seen the emperor, the queen, and the concubine." Ruan Zijin saluted them one by one, neither looking humble nor arrogant.
"The emperor is exempt." Hua Yongyan said with a smile. The words fell and gestured to the chief eunuch beside him.
Then the father-in-law stepped forward with a bright yellow decree and read it to the people:
"Carried by heaven, the emperor's edict said: My beloved daughter has been living in the people for many years. Heaven's mercy. Blessed by the ancestors, it was finally recovered. I hope that she will be virtuous in the future, such as water to clear, and she will be given the title of Princess Deqing. Chin this! ”
"Thank you, Father!" Wait until the decree is read. Ruan Zijin stepped forward. Get on your knees. He received the decree with both hands, neither humble nor arrogant.
Because this qiē was originally planned, Ruan Zijin didn't think it was too difficult to call out "Father". Or what's embarrassing.
Sometimes she can't help but wonder if her biological father and mother appear in front of her one day, can she still call them so calmly, or whether she will recognize them.
Ruan Zijin's position was set below the queen, and she happened to be face to face with Concubine Rong Jia.
In normal times, according to the rank, it is absolutely impossible for a princess to sit on it, but today's banquet is mainly held to celebrate the recovery of the princess, so the position is set so high.
Ruan Zijin had just sat down here, and Concubine Rong Jia had already gotten up with a smile. With a teacup in her hand, she said to Ruan Zijin: "This palace is not suitable for drinking, so I will replace wine with tea, and I will give the princess a cup first." ”
After speaking, he covered it with his sleeves, lowered his head and took a sip of tea in the cup.
Ruan Zijin couldn't see what her intentions were, so in order not to be said to be rude, she had to get up too, picked up the wine glass, and after saluting Concubine Rong Jia, she raised her head and drank all the wine in the cup.
"The princess is really good at drinking, and this palace looks as bold as a man!" Concubine Rong Jia said with a smile, "I have never seen the appearance of the queen's sister, but now when I see the princess's appearance, I think the queen's sister is even more shocked." ”
Jian Ning's brows immediately frowned slightly, Concubine Rong Jia's words didn't sound anything at first hearing, but felt like praising and flattering Ruan Zijin and the queen, but there was a deep meaning under the careful thought.
She first satirized the queen for covering her face with a veil for many years and not showing her true face, maybe her appearance was too mediocre. The second is to remind the princes and ministers that the appearance of this princess may endanger their position.
Although there is no woman to be the emperor in the history of Lingsui, there is still Hua Yuebai under the queen's knees.
Although Ruan Zijin has no experience in harem struggle, he can distinguish between good and bad words.
Putting down the wine glass, he glanced at Concubine Rong Jia lightly, and said, "This amount of wine naturally depends on practice, but with a delicate body as sick and weak as Concubine Niangniang, I'm afraid there is no way to taste the taste of wine." ”
Before Concubine Rong Jia could react, Ruan Zijin had already continued: "As for this appearance, it can only be relied on by parents." The queen mother covered her face with a veil, presumably because she didn't want to cause too much unnecessary trouble and embarrass her father. ”
Although Ruan Zijin's words were not leaky, they did not fall behind at all, allowing Concubine Rong Jia to take advantage.
And for a princess who has just been identified, such words are already sharp.
"Your Majesty, why don't you see Emperor Yuan Chu and Concubine Yi attending this banquet today?" Jian Ning actually wanted to ask for a long time, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Now it's just a time to take advantage of this slightly embarrassing time to change the subject.
Hua Yongyan smiled, even if he answered Jian Ning, he also solved everyone's confusion, and said, "Yuan Chu has sent someone to explain the situation before. Emperor Yuan Chu was slightly unaccustomed to the climate of Lingsui, so he was unwell and needed to recuperate for a few days, and it was not suitable to go out. ”
This is the reason again, Jian Ning frowned.
As soon as Jian Ning was silent here, someone over there immediately turned their eyes back to Ruan Zijin.
"I've been hearing a lot of rumors about the royal sister before, but I don't know which ones are true and which ones are false. I don't know if the royal sister can tell us more about what happened when we were children, so that those of us who are royal brothers can know more. Hua Yueyao looked at Ruan Zijin and said.
"Naturally, there is no problem, as long as the royal brother and you are not boring at that time." Ruan Zi smiled naturally.
She had already thought about these stories with Leshan a few days ago, and even tried them a few times, and she could definitely make them up decently.
And Jian Ning was a little worried about Jiu'er's situation at the moment, so she could only silently pray that they could succeed.
Xiahou Yan had been paying attention to Jian Ning on the side, and when she saw that she suddenly asked about Long Zeye, she frowned again and fell into worry
"Long Zeye didn't come, are you disappointed?" Xiahou Yan's face was not good, and he asked in a strange tone.
"It's not disappointment, it's just that I'm a little worried." Jian Ning was already a little distracted, and replied to Xiahou Yan's words without thinking about it.
"Worried? You know you're worried about him, why don't you know you're worried about me? Xiahou Yan said unhappily on the side. (To be continued......)
