176. Chapter 174 Wanxi's Birthday Shocked the Palace
In the Chengfu Palace, it is full of palace concubines, all of them are dressed up brightly and beautifully, reflecting the magnificence of the surroundings, it seems that the Chengfu Hall is much more glamorous, only to see Wanxi sitting in the center of the hall with an indifferent face, now Wanxi is eight years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, round face, high nose bridge, black hair coiled high, born very similar to Yi Guifei, faintly you can see the appearance of Yi Guifei.
Sitting next to Wanxi were Qing Cang and the Queen Mother, Qing Cang smiled slowly at Wan Xi, "Wan Xi, are you happy to watch so many good shows?" Wanxi pouted for a while, shook her head and said, "Wanxi wants Eniang to accompany her." After finishing the words, I saw tears oozing from Wanxi's eyes, Qingcang's eyebrows frowned slightly for a while, no matter how grand the birthday was, no matter how wonderful the show was, it couldn't make up for Wanxi's young heart.
At this time, the Queen Mother raised her hand and gently took Wanxi's little hand, and said softly, "Wanxi, today is your birthday, you see, all the concubines in the palace have come to celebrate your birthday, you should laugh." ”
"But E-Niang is gone, Wanxi can't laugh, E-Niang promised Wanxi that she will give Wanxi a big gift on her birthday this year."
The Queen Mother looked at Wanxi's sad appearance, felt a little sad in her heart for a while, gently stroked Wanxi's face, and said slowly, "Wanxi, although your Eniang is no longer here, you still have the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother will love you as much as your Eniang." Wanxi nodded obediently, looked at the concubines of His Royal Highness, and then turned her head and said, "Imperial grandmother, Wanxi wants to see Hui's mother and concubine, in the palace, except for Eniang, only Hui's mother and concubine are the best to Wanxi." ”
At the same time, Qing Cang on the side listened to this, Qing Cang couldn't help but show a little gloomy for a while, his fists clenched nervously, waiting for the Queen Mother's reply, only to see the Queen Mother raise her lips and smile softly, "Everything Wanxi has the final say today, Aunt Liu, go down and arrange it." Aunt Liu beside her should leave, Qing Cang was stunned, and suddenly turned her head to look at the Queen Mother in confusion, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and she felt an inexplicable sense of tension, and the Queen Mother just raised her lips and smiled faintly at the moment, as if everything was under her control.
At this time, only to listen to the sound of the piano, I saw a woman in a bright red water skirt come out, covered with a veil of the same color as the water skirt, dragging a beautiful dance skirt, jumped out, Qing Cang recognized Qin Yuan at a glance, only to see Qin Yuan came to the center of the hall, the posture was perfect backwards, the long water sleeves drew a perfect arc in the air, intoxicated the eyes of the concubines, but also intoxicated Qing Cang's heart, the veil covering the face was provoked by the wind, swirling in the air, and fell leisurely, turning a thousand times. Throw the sleeves, the brocade is floating, look back, the posture and the city, point to the feet, the body is as light as a swallow, the air whirls, open the arms, throw the brocade belt, the hair is raised, the fairy falls into the dust, slowly landing, the music slowly slows down, the posture also softens, the water sleeves fly, when the music stops, everything is quiet, as if there has never been all this illusory with the dissipation of the music, the last dance is over, slightly mediated the breath, raised the beautiful eyes, stood up straight and slowly bowed his head, "Congratulations on the birthday of Princess Yongyang." ”
As soon as this voice came out, Concubine Wan, who was sitting on the side, was suddenly startled, only to see that she couldn't help but clench the silk handkerchief in her hand, this voice was too familiar to her, but in an instant, there was a denial, no! How did she end up here? Who the hell is she? At this time, Concubine Wan was not the only one who was puzzled, all the concubines in the hall were puzzled, and they all knew that this was not an ordinary dance palace maid at all.
Above the main hall, Qing Cang looked at His Royal Highness Qin Yuan in disbelief, her lips were closed, her heart was pounding, even he couldn't tell himself, whether he was nervous or excited at the moment, the corners of the Queen Mother's lips were slightly curved, and she didn't mean to speak, she was waiting for Qing Cang to say the first sentence.
At this moment, Wanxi pointed at Qin Yuan and said in an immature tone, "Father, this dance is so beautiful, for example, any of them are beautiful." Qing Cang's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Wanxi, and he just smiled awkwardly at Wanxi, and then turned to Qin Yuan, not knowing what to say for a while.
Qin Yuan stood straight in the center of the hall, and for a while the hall seemed very quiet, and the concubines were even more puzzled for a while, looking at each other, and then Concubine Lian opened her mouth and said with a smile, "Since the concubine entered this hall, it can be regarded as seeing Princess Yongyang's smile, it seems that this dance is really wonderful." ”
Qing Cang's face was a little resolute, his fists tightened, and he slowly spoke, "Take off the veil." Qin Yuan looked at the Queen Mother in the palace, and the Queen Mother slowly nodded in permission.
I saw Qin Yuan take off the veil from behind her ears and smile at Qing Cang, this smile was extremely beautiful, causing Qing Cang to gasp for a while, and he couldn't take his eyes off the look of being very obsessed, he thought about the woman for five years, and now standing in front of him, he didn't know how to deal with it.
At the same time, Concubine Wan's face suddenly changed, she was completely stunned, and she stood up suddenly, and once again stared at her eyes wide, yes, it was indeed Qin Yuan! How could she be here! Concubine Wan suddenly turned her head to look at the Queen Mother at this moment, and saw that the corners of the Queen Mother's lips were like a spring breeze, and she understood everything for a while, and then sat down slowly with a distracted face, her eyes looking a little messy.
And at this moment, in the main hall, the concubines who knew Qin Yuan were also surprised, and the concubines who had just entered the palace were full of doubts, whispered a few words to each other, looked at Qin Yuan with different eyes, and suddenly heard only a voice coming, "This woman looks like a concubine of Xiang." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at them carefully, and then they agreed again and again, only to hear the evil charm on the corner of Concubine Lian's lips, and said in a sharp tone, "Wrong, it's Concubine Xiang who is too much like Concubine Hui!" There were bursts of whispers in the hall, and at this moment, the face of the Xiang noble concubine could actually be described as ugly, she bit her lip tightly, looking extremely embarrassed.
Qin Yuan ignored the eyes of others, and said with a blessed posture, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and for the queen mother." ”
I saw that above the main hall, Wanxi said excitedly, "Mother Hui, concubine!" Then he hurriedly got up, trotted to Qin Yuan excitedly, took Qin Yuan's hand and said, "Huimu Guifei, Wanxi misses you so much, where have you been all these years?" Why can't Wanxi see you? Qin Yuan smiled kindly at Wanxi, and said softly, "Mother Guifei is sick, and it is inconvenient to visit Wanxi." ”
"What's the disease? Can't even be cured by doctors? ”
Qin Yuan smiled slowly, did not answer, and then leaned down and saluted, "The concubine has the courage to dance a song, and I hope that the emperor and the queen mother will not blame." The Queen Mother smiled gently, "Concubine Hui's dancing posture is so exquisite, no different from previous years, and she is so coaxing Wanxi to smile, how can the mourning family blame you, Your Majesty, you said yes?" ”
Qing Cang nodded slowly, his eyes didn't leave Qin Yuan for a second, and his tone was a little desolate, "Everything has been okay with you all these years?" Qin Yuan said calmly, "Thanks to the emperor's care, everything is fine with the concubines." ”
The Queen Mother said slowly at this time, "Compared to before, it is a lot weaker, and you must have suffered a lot by staying in Fengzhu Palace every day, and today you have a heart." Qin Yuan smiled slowly, "A few days after the loss of the fragrance jade of the Yi Guifei, the concubine must be sad when she thought about Wanxi, so she came to see Wanxi." ”
Wanxi pleaded beside her at this time, "Mother Hui, concubine, is it okay to take Wanxi away?" The night in Fengluan Palace was too dark, Eniang was not around, and Wanxi was so scared. After finishing speaking, a line of tears slipped from Wanxi's lips, Qin Yuan hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it, and said softly, "It's a pity not to cry, there is a mother and concubine." ”
The Queen Mother couldn't help but lose her eyes a little at the moment, and said softly to the emperor, "Concubine Hui is now in good health, Your Majesty, what do you think?" Although the Queen Mother's tone was asking on the surface, how could Qing Cang not understand the deep meaning?
Qing Cang nodded slowly, "Since Concubine Hui is in good health, then lift the ban on Fengzhu Palace, uphold Concubine Yi's last wishes, and Wanxi will be a daughter under her name." ”
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Wan's face changed greatly, and she gritted her teeth resentfully, and her anger was undisguised.
And Wanxi was so happy that she clapped her hands again and again, Qin Yuan also smiled gently, at this moment, only to hear a "boom", a loud noise came from the roof, accompanied by a burst of smoke and dust, several black-clothed people fell from the sky, each holding a sharp sword, and said loudly, "Kill the emperor!" ”
