The hall is covered with a thick carpet inlaid with gold wire, the beams are hung with delicate painted palace lamps, knotted with splendid silk, there are eight pairs of high copper pillars around the hall, and the carved silk silver candlesticks of one person high are placed next to the pillars, the candles are lit early, the candles are mixed with spices, and the whole hall is filled with a warm and warm intoxicating atmosphere. In the center of the main hall is set up the emperor's dragon chair, the emperor sits beside the queen, and the next is Concubine Wu Xian, Concubine Zhang De, Concubine Mei, Concubine Rou and other concubines with higher status, and then under the head, there are several favored concubines. Below the main hall, on the left is the male guest seat, followed by the prince and the clan, followed by the rank of the official, and on the right is the female dependent, according to the same arrangement of the male guests. Although the queen set up an ordinary banquet this time, if there are no special circumstances, the ladies of each family must officially attend according to their respective grades. So this time, Li Weiyang's position was far ahead of Li Changle, which couldn't help but make Li Changle bite a mouthful of silver teeth hatefully, originally she thought that with this face, she could regain everyone's attention to her, but those people only looked at her for a moment, and then they all looked away, which she didn't expect.

In fact, if it weren't for Li Changle's excessive beauty, no one would have looked at her squarely, because her glorious deeds have been spread everywhere, and everyone knows that she first offended the emperor, and then made trouble that the five princes were reprimanded by the emperor because of her, and I heard that she was still wearing gorgeous clothes at her mother's funeral...... Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, it is appropriate to have a room and an IKEA, but who dares to marry such a woman? The main wife is not a vase, you can just put it casually, it is to manage the family house, one is not good to marry, and it will harm nine generations.

The more Li Changle thought about it, the more resentful he became, and he faintly felt that the rotten smell emanating from his body was overwhelmed by the incense powder, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart. For fear of being discovered.

Li Weiyang didn't even look at Li Changle, because her position was very close to the ninth princess, so she was pulled by the ninth princess to ask long and short questions.

After such a long time, Tuoba Zhen couldn't help but look at Li Weiyang's body, although she only gave him a side - the blue gem on her forehead looked plain and fresh, from a distance, half of her face flashed a faint brilliance in the faint light, and the gem and the black cloud temples matched together, like the moon in the misty spring night. Her complexion is white, and she doesn't need to be powdered at all, but today she has a little more powder, and her complexion is whiter. It is also lightly smeared with a layer of rouge, weighing the snow-white complexion, like the clouds rising in the morning, delicate and beautiful, making people suspect that it will break as soon as it is blown, and the body is wearing a large-sleeved shirt made of first-class satin and a long skirt with a corset, which looks purple at first glance, but in fact it is a thin layer of purple gauze gently shrouded in the outside of the dress, outlining a beautiful curve. He sat there motionless, reluctant to blink his eyes. She is more beautiful than before, she was only thirteen years old before, her body and face have not grown, more than two years have passed, she has become a girl, the delicate buds of the past have been released angrily, perhaps because he is oppressed by ambition and ** every day, her beautiful face is even more intoxicating in his eyes. Tuoba Zhen watched attentively, thinking in his heart that it would be a pity to destroy such a beautiful girl.

At this moment, Li Weiyang noticed his gaze, and his deep eyes fell on him—at this moment, Tuoba Zhen even hallucinated, feeling that the face of a beautiful woman in front of him was covered with a vague cloud. But soon this cloud and mist dispersed, and Li Weiyang had an expression, but it was an expression that he couldn't understand. Her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, and there was cold disgust and contempt in her eyes, and finally these feelings suddenly melted into a mockery. Takuba really felt a blank in his mind, even his heartbeat seemed to disappear, and then he was extremely angry.

At this moment, a smiling beauty walked to the emperor's side, and the emperor unexpectedly added a seat next to him, even closer to the dragon chair than the queen, and everyone couldn't help but look at this beauty curiously. This is not good, but when I saw the crowd, there was a burst of admiration, like cold water poured into a frying pan.

"This is Concubine Lian!"

"I heard that she was sent by God to assist His Majesty!"

"Indeed, this is also the God bless me calendar!"

Everyone opened their eyes and said nonsense, although everyone knew that the so-called heavenly and human theories were pure nonsense, but as long as the emperor believed it, they had to believe it, and now the emperor is not an ordinary favor for Leng Youlian, so now everyone is in unison, believing that she was sent by God to serve His Majesty. Li Weiyang listened to everyone's admiration, and couldn't help but feel ridiculous, the so-called immortalization of people is just a play, the person who plays is the emperor, and the audience watching the play is also very popular now. Li Weiyang thought like this, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Leng Youlian's body, speaking of which, she had only heard Minde mention it before, and she hadn't really met Concubine Lian. Take a closer look, this concubine is really extraordinary, dignified and beautiful, the country is fragrant, and it is like a peony cage smoke, flowers and trees pile up snow, and all the palace concubines who were originally dressed up today look dull, and even make the lights of the hall dim. Seriously, this is the first time Li Weiyang has seen a woman who can compete with Li Changle in appearance.

The reason why Li Weiyang was able to look at Concubine Lian with a normal heart was because she didn't eat by her appearance, so she didn't particularly care about the fact that other women were more beautiful than herself, but Li Changle on the other side couldn't even maintain a normal heart. She secretly peeled Concubine Lian's face with her eyes, inch by inch, inch by inch, inch by inch, scrutinizing, analyzing, and carefully comparing with her, the more frightened she became. This emperor's favorite concubine is really a rare beauty in the world. Not only is not any detail inferior to her, but her temperament is as noble as the bright moon in the night sky, Li Changle couldn't help clenching her fists, the only thing she relies on is beauty, if she loses even her beauty to others, what else does she have to rely on!

"My sister's jewelry is chic, and the style of her clothes is fresh, I don't think I made it by a craftsman, right?" Concubine Wu Xian looked at Concubine Lian and asked kindly.

Concubine Lian's body is wearing a jewel necklace with a faint red glow like a sea and earrings of the same color, which is obviously extremely expensive, Concubine Lian's appearance is outstanding, her complexion is like jade, and her body is graceful and slender like the moon, such a pair of brilliant red gems really match her the most, and her delicate skin reflects a faint red, as if the slender neck is transparent.

"Sister doesn't know? This jewelry is a gift from a foreign envoy! Since last year, my majesty's treasure has been in the warehouse, and I have begged it several times, but I have never been willing to give it! Concubine Rou, who gave birth to the ninth princess and the eighth prince, smiled, as if it was true or false.

The string of red agate, lustrous gems dazzling the ears and eyes, especially the huge ruby hanging in the middle of the chain is extremely dazzling, Concubine Zhang Defei looked at it, then smiled faintly, and said: "Sister Roufei, how can you compare with Concubine Lian, she is the top of His Majesty's heart!" ”

The queen looked at all the concubines condescendingly: "Concubine Lotus is so radiant, even I can't take my eyes off it." I still remember when you entered the palace, all of them were like flowers and bones, and it had been so many years in a blink of an eye, and now when I saw the young and beautiful Concubine Lian, I really had to be convinced, and I had to sigh, this time is really fleeting. ”

The queen is the queen, a few words said, so that Concubine Wu Xian, Concubine Zhang De and Concubine Rou all changed their faces at the same time, the queen is reminding them that they are already old and have long ceased to be favored, and it is also a reminder to Concubine Lian, no matter how beautiful her appearance is, there is no proud capital, what women in this palace are most afraid of is the years, only the queen's status will never change, and others are nothing.

Concubine Lian smiled slightly, her face unchanged, as if she hadn't heard the cynicism of everyone present. Her gaze looked down the steps, and finally fell on the Jiang family, the expression in her eyes fluctuated slightly, and quickly turned away, as if it had never happened.

"The prince has arrived!" As he was talking, the eunuch at the door made a long announcement, and the prince walked in, with two costumed beauties beside him, one was naturally the crown princess, and the other was the favored concubine Jiang Lan. The crown princess He was born in the Minguo Mansion, she is tall, with a duck egg face, short eyebrows, eyes that are not big or small, her nose is slightly fatter, and her mouth looks a little drooping, she can be said to be a beauty, but compared with the concubine Jiang Lan next to her, her appearance is greatly inferior. Jiang Lan inherited the high forehead of the Jiang family, and had a pair of bright eyes and a sharp face, compared with the eldest lady and Mrs. Wei Guo, who were difficult to hide their arrogance in appearance, they were much more gentle and amiable and delicate, she stood humbly behind the crown princess at the moment, and she did not show any special closeness because of the presence of the Jiang family, and she did not even glance at Jiang Xu's seat.

Li Weiyang said in his heart, this princess and concubine are also a character. In her memory, the prince loved this concubine for ten minutes, and most of the time he lived with her, and even snubbed the princess for this, the princess cried to the queen many times, but the queen was very partial to Jiang Lan in order to win over the Jiang family, and the princess was depressed because of this, and she died of illness in less than two years. Even when the prince was forced to have no way out, the Jiang family did not lend a hand, and Jiang Lan abandoned her husband and returned to the Jiang family for the first time...... In Li Weiyang's view, this is simply incredible, she used to think that from the prince and Jiang Lan's loving Cheng Dù, at least their marriage is very happy, but judging from the results, the Jiang family has never meant to support the prince at all, even Jiang Lan is just a pretense, their family is completely isolated from the throne, only loyal to the next emperor, as for who is the emperor, it all depends on their own ability.

The queen smiled: "It's really time to fight, the banquet is about to start, and you dare to let your father wait for you!" He said so, but there was no blame in his tone.

The prince turned around and glared at the princess coldly, he should have arrived early, but this princess made trouble in the mansion again, making him head and two, and now he is late in public, which is really rude! The crown princess looked at him coldly, her eyes were full of ridicule, you let a concubine be treated far more than me, the crown princess, and even received foreign envoys with Jiang Lan, since you have made me faceless, why should I save face for you!

The dark tide of the crown princess and the crown prince was surging, and Li Weiyang saw it from afar, but he just shook his head. The restlessness in the inner house is a big shortcoming of the crown prince, and in the later battles, Tuoba really made great use of this, these two people only cared about the black-eyed chickens and stared at each other, didn't they see that the emperor had shown an impatient expression? In any case, the queen ordered the little eunuch to arrange the tables and chairs, and there was a rush again, so a table was added to the emperor's head.

"Brother Crown Prince has always liked that Jiang Lan, and the princess and sister-in-law are very angry! Originally, on the day of the wedding, the two entered the door together, but the prince actually rested at Jiang Lan's place at night, this hatred is great! The ninth princess quietly bit her ear to Li Weiyang, "It's just that the queen mother always helps Jiang Lan, but the princess is angry, I heard that there is a small quarrel in the prince's mansion for three days, and a big quarrel for five days!" The crown princess even broke the bed in Jiang Lan's bedroom! ”

Li Weiyang glanced at the crown princess in surprise, the petite ...... It's quite arrogant. However, anyone who wants to share their husbands with other women will not be very happy, not to mention that she is still a delicate woman who dominates her husband's favor, looking at Jiang Lan's weak willow and helping the wind, I see pity, Li Weiyang is really difficult to associate her with the strong blood relationship of the Jiang family, and it is not similar to the eldest lady and Mrs. Wei Guo, but after thinking about it, Jiang Lan is the daughter of a concubine at home, and the Jiang family's attitude towards her is of course very different from the other two, and this qiē seems to have found a little reason.

When the queen saw Jiang Lan, her eyes flashed with admiration, and she couldn't help but take her hand and praise: "Lan'er is dressed in a chic dress today. ”

"Xie Niangniang's compliment." Jiang Lan said softly.

The queen and Jiang Lan chatted, and the crown princess was stacked on the side and couldn't interject at all, and she was depressed again.

Soon, after Jiang Lan returned to her seat and sat down, she glanced to the side with an unchanged expression, her eyes passed by Li Weiyang's table, paused slightly, and then turned away as if nothing had happened.

"Sister Weiyang, you don't know, this Jiang Lan is very powerful, she doesn't look very good, but she makes the prince's brother fascinated......" The ninth princess was lying in Li Weiyang's ear and said happily, completely lost the princess's demeanor. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jiang Lan, but Jiang Lan had already turned his eyes, but Jiang Nan, the martial arts general on the other side, glanced over, and the eyes of the two touched, and the ninth princess shuddered in an instant, only feeling as if she had been seen through from the inside out.

"What's the big deal...... the Ninth Princess muttered in a low voice, and said no more.

Of course, it's great, the emperor now values the most civil servants is the Li family, and the most relied on military generals is the Jiang family, although the court of the Great Calendar, the civil officials are higher than the military generals, but this is an exception in the Jiang family, their exploits have long surpassed the ordinary military generals, ranking among the princes. Li Weiyang's gaze couldn't help but look past Jiang Lan, Jiang Nan and others, and looked at Jiang Xu at the head of the case. He looked like she remembered, his face looked very handsome, his posture was extremely straight, and his smile looked very kind, if people who didn't know would only think that he was a civil official, they would not think that he was a famous general on the battlefield. I just don't know what kind of variables his appearance will add to today's feast! Thinking of the scene when Jiang Nan deliberately came to provoke, Li Weiyang already knew very well that today's banquet was only afraid that there would be changes, and moreover, it was for himself!

Li Weiyang smiled slightly, what should be done to bring the greatest benefit to himself?

Jiang Xu, Jiang Nan, Prince, Jiang Lan, Tuoba Zhen, Concubine Wu Xian, Empress...... This series of people and their faces flashed in Li Weiyang's mind, she lowered her head, they all just regarded her as an eye-catching stone, but sometimes such a stone is very likely to affect the overall situation.

The men of the Jiang family have always guarded the border and rarely appear in Kyoto, and suddenly two young sons came, which was enough to make the ladies and ladies excited. The eldest prince Jiang Hai looks like Jiang Xu, handsome and straight, calm and resolute, full of manliness, but he has already married a wife, so the ladies and ladies are interested in his three younger brothers. The reason why it is three instead of four is because the second son Jiang Yang has been given marriage, and his fiancée is Gao Wan'er, the concubine of Xiangyang Bofu, so the Jiang family still has the third son Jiang Hua, the fourth son Jiang Nan, and the fifth son Jiang Tian have not yet married. The Jiang family is such a meritorious family, and the sons are so noble and upright, the ladies and ladies have long been unable to sit still, and they have inquired about each other, and the eldest Mrs. Jiang in the female family has long been annoyed, but she is always smiling, hiding the pride in her eyes. Yes, Mrs. Jiang has reason to be proud, because the son of the Jiang family is indeed a dragon among people, and he is not inferior to the princes.

Jiang Hai glanced at the female dependents seat opposite, and then whispered to his younger brother: "That girl with a white face and deep eyes is Li Weiyang?" "He's been outside, and this is the first time I've really seen Li Weiyang.

Jiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "Can there be a second teenage girl sitting in the position of the county lord of the second grade?" ”

Jiang Hai nodded and commented: "It looks good, but unfortunately compared to Changle, it is still far behind." No matter how great a man is, he always comments from the woman's appearance as the first impression, his tone, as if to say, there is such a face, Li Weiyang can still see it, but it is just reluctantly, of course, Jiang Hai's vision is very high, needless to say that his wife Han is an outstanding beauty, let's just say that those beautiful women who are stuffed into his room by people from all walks of life have already nourished his appetite, so he can give Li Weiyang such an evaluation, it is really reasonable, of course, if Li Weiyang himself knows, I won't be grateful to him.

The person on the side raised his glass to Jiang Hai, he smiled back, and then said in a low voice: "Father said, let you not keep looking for trouble." ”

Jiang Nan stared at Li Weiyang opposite disapprovingly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Big brother, you are too cautious and careful, you can rest assured, this matter will never have anything to do with the Jiang family!" ”

Jiang Hai frowned and said, "I'll say it again, don't make trouble." ”

Jiang Nan smiled presumptuously and said, "She made my grandmother sick with anger, and you still told me not to cause trouble?" ”

Jiang Hai was smiling on his face, and to outsiders, he seemed to be talking and laughing with Jiang Nan, but in fact, he disagreed: "It's just a small role, and my father means not to mess up the overall situation for her." ”

Jiang Nan smiled, picked up the wine glass casually, and said, "Big brother, do you think my grandmother will let me do it myself?" It's ridiculous. "Although the Duchess wants to avenge Li Changle, she will never let Jiang Nan do it, no matter what, the Jiang family will deal with Li Weiyang, and they will not dirty their own hands, since they want her to disappear, naturally someone will do it for them, they just need to watch, this is also the reason why Jiang Nan was ready to give Li Weiyang the last bit of humiliation just now, because he knew that he would not have the opportunity to see this face in the future, isn't it a pity? Haha, Jiang Nan was smiling while looking at Li Weiyang over there.

Of course, Li Weiyang noticed the other party's unfriendly eyes, but she didn't see anything unusual on her face, and she didn't look like a girl of this age at all.

Tuoba Yu, who was not far away, also looked at the Jiang family thoughtfully, he finally understood why Li Weiyang hated this group of people, they were indeed a group of very good men, but excellence was his family's business, relying on this pride to treat others as dust and trample on them at will, but it was not fun, he thought of the news that Li Weiyang sent Zhao Nan three days ago, and couldn't help but smile slightly. He knew she was going to act, but he didn't know what she was going to do, but he could imagine that it must be a big deal......

All kinds of intrigues and swords fly here, and all kinds of delicacies are served up like water, and the palace maids at each table are cleverly warming wine and cloth dishes for the nobles.

Li Weiyang looked around, but only saw Zhou Tianshou standing with his hands hanging not far behind the emperor, and Yin Tianzhao, another Heavenly Master-level figure who was more trusted by the emperor, but he still hadn't seen anyone, she glanced at Li Minde not far away, but Li Minde seemed to know what she was looking for, and made a slightly calmer expression to her.

"It's rare for all Aiqing to gather together today, to see that you can all live happily and comfortably, and the queen has not wasted her efforts!" The emperor smiled, turned back to the queen and said, "It's hard work for the queen." ”

After a period of recuperation, the queen's body has been much better than last time, and her temper has also recovered from the warmth of the past, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is the right thing for a concubine to share your worries, and this banquet is also held so that everyone can have fun!" After speaking, she glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "You see, even the eldest son and the fourth prince of the Jiang family are here, and the concubine remembers that the first time she saw the fourth prince was when he was four years old, when he followed the eldest lady to the palace, and he wanted to pick peaches in the imperial garden, and refused to leave, but in a blink of an eye, he became such a heroic young general!" ”

The emperor looked at Jiang Nan and said with a smile: "Yes, what the queen said, I remembered it." It's a pity, Xiao Jiu is still young, otherwise marrying her to General Wuwei would be a beautiful conversation! ”

Of course, the ninth princess knew that it was a joke, but she still had a cold face and snorted.

The queen smiled, looked Jiang Nan up and down, and said: "There is a niece Yunyun in the mother's family in this palace, who is gentle and lovely, dignified and virtuous, just matching General Wuwei!" ”

The emperor's smile became playful, and Concubine Mei on the side smiled and said: "Queen Mother, you forgot, the little granddaughter of Liu Ge's hometown is not married, and she is the right age and appearance of the fourth prince, and His Majesty also promised to help her protect the media!" ”

The queen's niece, the son of Mei Guifei, the granddaughter of Liu Gelao, a die-hard supporter of the fifth prince Tuoba Rui, these two people, where are they recommending marriage, they are obviously trying to win over the Jiang family. The emperor glanced at his empress and Concubine Mei, and then said to Jiang Nan: "General Wuwei, I want to ask you what you mean!" ”

Jiang Nan got up, and all the eyes in the hall fell on him, and everyone had different expressions. He glanced at the shy Su Yunyun, and then at Miss Liu, who was looking at him expectantly, but somehow, he glanced at Li Weiyang, who was watching the show, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is kind, how dare the courtiers push it back?" It's just that I'm good at fighting, but I can't choose a wife, or you can see which young lady you think is good, give me which young lady is a wife! ”

Jiang Xu rebuked in a low voice: "How can you speak!" He immediately stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, the dog is rude, please forgive me." ”

The Emperor laughed and said, "It's okay, I just like his straightforward nature." "Such a military general is easier to manipulate, compared to the scheming Jiang Guogong and Jiang Xu, Jiang Nan looks much tender in front of the emperor, which makes the emperor feel very good. He smiled, "In this way, let's wait until General Wuwei is determined to marry his daughter-in-law, otherwise he is so rude and abrupt how good is the beauty!" Li Weiyang understood that the emperor saw that the princes were all adults, and his heart was full of jealousy, so he naturally would not casually let any of them win over the Jiang family, and Jiang Nan, who seemed to be confused and rude, actually hid a deep mystery, he offended the five princes by choosing Su Yunyun, and offended the queen and the prince by choosing Miss Liu, no matter how you look at it, but this ball is kicked to the emperor, and the result is very different. The emperor didn't want his Jiang family to stand on any side, they had to maintain a neutral attitude, no one touched, if they changed ordinary courtiers, they were afraid that they would be eliminated by the princes as a collective thorn in the side, but the Jiang family held military power and had deep roots, of course, it was impossible to pull it out, so the princes had to find ways to win them over, and the more stable the Jiang family's position would be.

Jiang Nan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen is reckless and ignorant, thanks to His Majesty who will not give up, this time I came back from the border, and accidentally found a pair of Haidongqing, and specially brought it back to Majesty, please smile." ”

The emperor smiled: "Really? Send it up and take a look with me. ”

In fact, the emperor is not much strange at this time, Haidongqing is wild and wild, caught by people and domesticated and then used for hunting, but it is not easy to catch and tame this bird, so the folk often have nine deaths and a life, and it is rare to say that an eagle is said. It is precisely because Hai Dongqing is not easy to capture and domesticate that there was even such a rule in the period of the first emperor: all criminals who violated the criminal law and were exiled, whoever can catch Hai Dongqing and present it, can atone for his sins and be released. Therefore, many people do not hesitate to buy the famous carving. But now the emperor already has a lot of Hai Dongqing in his hands, and it is no longer so rare, and even he gave it to his beloved courtiers and princesses, such as one in Princess Yongning's mansion, and Li Minde once let go of the Hai Dongqing in order to win the archery competition. But when the eunuch sent Hai Dongqing up, the emperor was taken aback.

Not to mention the emperor, even everyone was taken aback, and looked at Hai Dongqing in the cage in disbelief.

Haidongqing, the most valuable eagle also, pure black is the best, pure white is the top grade, white and miscellaneous hair is second, gray is second, the emperor has seen the best Haidongqing in his life are white hair with impurities, but there is a pure black superb Haidongqing in front of him, it is still two, this is really rare in the world!

"It's rare, it's such a superb Haidongqing!" The emperor saw that this pair of Hai Dongqing was unusual, and smiled even more happily.

"Your Majesty, Hai Dongqing is a sacred bird, resolute and fierce, its power is great, such as a thousand jun hitting a stone, its speed is fast, such as lightning and thunder, I have been in the dynasty for more than a hundred years, the first time there is a superb Hai Dongqing in the world, this is a good omen!"

Seeing this, the officials on the side hurriedly got up and echoed, as if they saw the best Haidongqing this time, it was a sign that the four seas were rich and the world was peaceful, Li Weiyang looked at these people mockingly and far-fetched, no matter which dynasty the emperor did, they all like others to say that the auspicious omen is coming, just like the first emperor, others presented him with a stone with a red mark on it, saying what is a red heart stone, showing the desire of the people in the world, the people are in the heart, and they were immediately named the book of the Ministry of Rites. Li Weiyang watched even his father Li Xiaoran get up to congratulate the emperor, and couldn't help but subtly hook his lips.

The queen smiled: "Sure enough, it's a good omen, God bless me with the calendar." ”

The prince's face was also infinitely happy: "It's not easy to find this kind of Hai Dongqing, Jiang Nan, you are the hero of Your Majesty!" ”

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen the pure black best Hai Dongqing!" Tuoba Zhen also raised his glass and toasted Jiang Nanyao.

Jiang Nan smiled slightly, with an extremely modest expression on his face, and said, "Where, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Highness, the two of them have won the award!" ”

"Hey, don't be too modest!" The prince waved his hand and said, "It's better to tell me in detail about the process of catching this Hai Dongqing!" ”

Jiang Nan's face seemed to be infinitely glorious, and said: "Back to Your Highness, this Haidongqing was not caught by me, but I knew that I was going back to Kyoto, and followed our team all the way to fly for hundreds of miles. ”

The emperor was shocked by the strange scene he depicted, regardless of whether it was true or not, this was indeed a great auspicious omen, so the emperor was even more cheerful, and actually took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said: "Jiang Xu, you have raised a good son, and you have also brought me a good omen!" ”

Jiang Xu hurriedly said: "Being loyal to His Majesty is his duty, and it is also the blessing of my Jiang family!" Jiang Xu's expression was extremely humble, and he couldn't see that he was a majestic general, and his attitude of reverence was better than that of the eunuchs around the emperor, and the emperor was very satisfied, and specially ordered Jiang Nan to be given a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Li Weiyang looked at it, but suddenly laughed.

The ninth princess whispered: "Sister Weiyang, what are you laughing at?" ”

Li Weiyang lowered his voice and said, "I, naturally, laughed at the ingenuity of this auspicious omen." ”

The Ninth Princess couldn't understand it at all, but seeing that Li Weiyang didn't mean to answer for her at all, she couldn't help but wonder even more.

With this stubble, the atmosphere of the palace banquet became more enthusiastic, and everyone saw that the Jiang family's holy family was prosperous, so they congratulated and welcomed the Jiang family to the sky. Li Weiyang carefully observed the expressions of the Jiang family, but he didn't see a trace of pride, especially Jiang Xu, who didn't even move the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, if he didn't really care about this kind of praise, he was so scheming that he didn't show it at all.

However, at this moment, Concubine Wu Xian suddenly exclaimed and said, "Your Majesty, you see?!" ”

The emperor took a look, and then stood up from the throne, and the pair of divine horses, Hai Dongqing, who had just been called the best divine birds, rolled his eyes and died in the cage.

The eunuch guarding the cage knelt on the ground, trembling, and Eunuch Xia hurriedly went up to look at it, and replied, "Your Majesty...... Haidong Qing ...... Hai Dongqing is dead......"

Everyone was in an uproar, Jiang Xu's face changed, and he said angrily: "Nan'er, how do you take care of this!" ”

Jiang Nan's eyes showed a subtle smile, but he said, "Father, I'm ...... I...... I don't know! Since entering Beijing, this pair of Hai Dongqing has been very good, how could it be suddenly-" He immediately knelt on the ground and said guiltily, "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!" ”

The emperor's face was ugly, originally this Hai Dongqing was just a bird, the bird died when it died, at most it was a little disappointing, but just now everyone said that it was a good omen, and it died, isn't it very bad! Can auspicious omen die?! Definitely not! If the auspicious sign is dead, there must be some calamity!

Seeing that the emperor's face was cloudy, those who said that Hai Dongqing was a good omen just now all seemed to be dumbfounded, and they all looked at each other, and the entire hall was silent, even the ladies held their breath.

At this moment, an old Taoist priest with immortal wind and Taoist bones strode in from outside, and his voice was like Hong Zhongdao: "Your Majesty!" This matter is very unlucky! But there is a demon star in the temple! ”

All the people looked at this old Taoist priest in great amazement, and someone immediately recognized him, Yin Tianshi! It turned out to be Yin Tianshi, who had been missing since the beginning of the banquet!

In the silence, Li Weiyang and Li Minde glanced at each other, and saw a smile in each other's eyes, and sure enough, it came!

Yin Tianzhao was wearing a crown of fragrant leaves and a gossip robe, and he was looking at the emperor with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, do you remember the last divination of the poor road?" At that time, Poor Dao spent countless efforts, but he couldn't occupy who this demon star of the dangerous hài calendar fortune was, and now he has found a way, and he will definitely be able to make this person show his original form! ”

The emperor's eyes immediately widened and he said, "Really?!" ”

Concubine Wu Xian glanced at everyone, and her eyes fell on Li Weiyang's body, although she only swept it away, but with a sneer, Li Weiyang, don't blame me, originally you and I have no grievances, I will not do much to harm you, but the Duchess of Jiang Guo gave a promise, if she can get rid of you, she will persuade Jiang Xu to defect to Tuoba Zhen! The influence of the Duchess of Guo in the Jiang family was not inferior to that of the Jiang Guogong, and Concubine Wu Xian and Tuoba Zhen were immediately ready to bet on it! Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Heavenly Master Yin has never missed it, since he said that there is a demon star in this hall, it must be true, otherwise, how could he kill the auspicious omen of His Majesty for no reason?!" ”

She deliberately emphasized the word death, and somehow it was particularly harsh in Li Xiaoran's ears, and a bad premonition also rose in his heart.

Yin Tianzhao said lightly: "I want to board the platform, and then I will let that demon star automatically appear!" ”

Tuoba Yu looked at it coldly, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, he didn't know what the reason was Hai Dongqing's death, but this old Taoist priest suddenly appeared - if something is abnormal, it must be a demon, it seems that you have to deal with it carefully!

Of course, the emperor agreed, not only that, but also personally led the civil and military officials out of the main hall, stood on the wide steps, and watched Yin Tianshi ascend the platform. The platform, which is four meters high, was specially built to pray for rain. Yin Tianshi wore his hair and danced around on the platform.

At this moment, even the ladies walked outside curiously, looked at Yin Tianzhao on the platform, and talked about it.

Li Weiyang looked at it with a smile and didn't say a word, until Li Minde walked up to her and whispered, "There will definitely be something interesting happening later." ”

Li Weiyang tilted his head and said, "Is everything arranged?" ”

Li Minde smiled: "I have itchy hands for a while...... A little change was made, but Bao Jun was satisfied. His handsome face shone in front of him, and Li Weiyang was strange, but seeing that his two eyes were shining at him, he couldn't help coughing lightly and turned his head.

This kid, I don't know what to do, actually showed such a cunning expression.

Zhou Tianshou in the crowd couldn't stop glancing at Li Minde and asked him to show it. I saw Li Minde smile slightly, his left hand slowly hung down, and his middle finger was on top of his index finger. Zhou Tianshou understood this code, which meant that the plan would not change, and he should not be suspicious of acting as usual, Zhou Tianshou couldn't help but smile in his heart, and then quietly took a few steps back and disappeared into the crowd.

After the bronze bell rang nine times in a row, the ceremony began, and a team of eunuchs held lamp hats to extinguish all the surrounding candles and oil lamps, and the light on the stage was dim, making the whole ceremony a bit mysterious. Yin Tianzhao on the platform said loudly: "Your Majesty sincerely respects the sky, and you don't dare to slack off a little, why doesn't the sky give the Great Calendar a smooth wind and rain, and give His Majesty's subjects and peace and tranquility?" At this time, the sky was overcast, with thunderstorms, like a sign that heavy rain was about to fall, and Yin Tianzhao's body trembled even more, sifting chaff like non-stop, coupled with flying sand and rocks, and sudden changes in the weather, this old Taoist priest of the fairy wind and bones seemed to be really connected with heaven and earth.

When everyone saw this strange scene, their eyes widened, and they didn't dare to breathe, staring directly at Yin Tianzhao.

Tuoba Zhen sneered, Li Weiyang is the county lord of the second grade, and Li Xiaoran's daughter, if you want to knock her down at once, you must personally express this scene in front of everyone, and as long as you say that the scourge is Li Weiyang, then her life will be over! Such a beauty, such a smart woman, how good it would be if she learned from herself, but she is so ignorant! Tuoba was really sorry, and there was a faint heartache, this was what he wanted most in his life besides the throne, but now he wanted to use it to flatter the Jiang family...... It's a pity, it's a pity...... Thinking like this, he glanced at Li Weiyang one last time.

Goodbye, stubborn and intelligent girl. Since you are unwilling to help me win the country, then make a stepping stone for my country!

On the other side, Jiang Nan curled his lips, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

At this time, there were several lightning bolts in the sky, and the wind outside suddenly became stronger, and it blew into the hall with a sharp whistling sound, which not only blew the people outside the hall to the ground, but also blew the windows creaked like crazy, and the veils in the hall also floated up, and the wind swept down a few at once, and threw a precious porcelain vase on the ground, shattering it on the spot...... On the stage, Yin Tianshi shouted rampantly in the midst of the changing color of the storm: "What a scourge, can it hinder my history? ”
