Chapter 1: Here She Comes

Dongyang Palace

The breeze gusted, followed by a pungent dark fragrance.

The moonlight poured out, adding a faint layer of mist to the dark place, illuminating the night with unusual enchantment and mystery, and the bright place was also brightened by the moonlight.

It is the silence of this night that sets off the fact that the palace tonight is more noisy than usual.

Today is the fiftieth birthday of the current Queen Mother, and the palace is naturally in full swing, and the palace that used to be cold has become very lively tonight, and the palace people in each room of the palace have long been busy like ants on a hot pot.

"Eh, hurry up, the masters blame you and see how you take it"

"This is a snack sent to the stage, why hasn't it been delivered" The sharp voice sounded from time to time in all corners.

"Intensify the patrol, if there is any mistake, you can only ask" Even the guards who patrol the night tonight are responsible for safety.

The duty of the minions is to be responsible for serving people, so on such a big day, it is natural to be busy and dizzy.

And all kinds of officials in the court are also in accordance with the king's order, the queen mother's gift, the officials are clear to be able to sit with the king and the queen mother, taste all kinds of wine and food, what a privilege, to be able to after the dinner, and the king and the queen mother to listen to the play is even more honorable, so no one wants to be left behind, they all put on a gorgeous costume, to participate in this dinner in the name of the universal celebration.

Tonight's Changyin Pavilion is even more lively, the sound of the opera singing fills the entire Changyin Pavilion, and the sky-high fire is so bright that it wants to illuminate the whole sky.

The actors on the stage sang in full swing, and off the stage, the ministers led by the Queen Mother listened quite attentively, and their eyes never moved off the stage for a moment.

I don't know if it's because the king is here, or if this play is really wonderful.

No one noticed that the eyes of the man in red who was sitting on the high seat at the moment flickered a little, and he seemed to be a little absent-minded in the face of this scene in full swing.

Only the woman sitting next to the handsome man noticed the man's strangeness: the voice of the "king" drama overshadowed the woman's very gentle voice, and this call did not pull the man's mind back to the slightest.

Raising his hand and waving at the palace people beside him, in an instant, the voices of the actors stopped abruptly, and the rest of the entire Changyin Pavilion was silent, without a trace of abrupt sound.

"Your Majesty" was another soft call, which attracted the man's eyes that fell in the distance to him.

"Queen Mother" Lan Lingxuan narrowed her eyes, and bowed slightly to the woman with thousands of manners on the side, and her gestures were completely respectful.

"What does the king think of this play?" the woman said with a low and slow smile, her eyes glancing at the group of actors who had stopped singing.

Lan Lingxuan looked for his eyes, and the next moment, Fang replied respectfully: "Very good"

A faint smile spread on the woman's face, and her words and deeds revealed a bit of nobility and elegance from time to time, graceful and luxurious.

After smiling, Fang said to the palace people beside him: "If the king thinks it is good, it is good, and he will reward it."

Then, when he glanced meaningfully at the petite and gentle woman beside Lan Lingxuan, the smile on his face became even stronger: "The king has something to announce today."

Matter, Lan Lingxuan pondered the words in the woman's mouth, glanced at Ye Fei'er beside him, frowned slightly, and there was more exploration in his eyes, Fang asked: "Erchen doesn't remember that there is an important announcement today, and I hope that the queen mother will give a little hint."

I saw that the smile on the woman's face faded a little, and there was a little displeasure to replace the smile: "Did Wang Er forget it so quickly" A slightly cold voice fell, and she noticed that she was a little out of shape.

This incident was mentioned to him two months ago, and he shirked it on the grounds of consolidating power.

She was angry a few days ago, and he promised her that he would announce it to the world on her birthday, but he didn't realize that he had only agreed to her for a perfunctory purpose.

A sound fell, and the Changyin Pavilion at this moment was full, but it was as quiet as no one.

Everyone didn't dare to look directly at the mother and son in the high position, so they could only bow their heads and secretly wonder what was going on.

Seeing this, the woman on the side of "Don't be angry" immediately stepped forward to adjust: "The king is busy with state affairs every day, and it is normal for people to forget it, please don't be angry" Ye Fei'er persuaded in a low voice, her voice was very soft.

"Fei'er, you" sighed helplessly, she saw that Ye Fei'er was like this, and she was a little rude in front of others today, so she suppressed a trace of displeasure in her heart, and compromised: "Okay, then let's talk about it another day" sighed lightly, and then waved her hand and signaled the play on the stage to continue.

Then, the drums sounded, and the singing of the actors on the stage was still the same, but the mood of the listeners was completely different from just now.

Lan Lingxuan looked thoughtfully, with a bit of trance on his face.

Not long after the play began, there were palace people outside the Changyu Pavilion who hurriedly ran to Lan Lingxuan's side and played a sound, and was waved down by Lan Lingxuan, and in an instant, I saw a faint smile on the man's face, and at the right time, he was taken into the eyes of the Queen Mother.

The scene that had just started singing was once again waved and paused.

"What's going on" asked in a shallow voice, there was no smile on her face, Lan Lingxuan was her biological son, she knew him better than anyone else, tonight from the beginning, his heart was no longer here, he was in a trance, and he was absent-minded.

Lan Lingxuan pulled a faint smile on his lips, and said with his head bowed: "Let the queen mother worry about it, it's okay, it's just a twist and turn from the border."

"Border Pass" She twisted her eyebrows: "Since it is a matter of the border pass, then Wang Er should deal with it quickly, if something big happens, it's not good."

When the words fell, the officials looked at each other, and although their eyes did not dare to look directly at the mother and son, they still secretly slandered and speculated in their hearts.

"It's not too late to accompany my mother first and then listen to this play," Lan Lingxuan refused.

"State affairs are important, the king is busy with state affairs first, and there will be opportunities to accompany his mother in the future, and let Fei'er accompany his mother tonight."

"The minister retreated first," he lowered, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

"Hmm" She agreed a little lazily, Lan Lingxuan bowed for a moment, and then turned to Ye Fei'er and said, "Fei'er, accompany the queen mother well"

As soon as the words fell, he turned around and left in the bow of the ministers.

When he stepped out of Changyin Pavilion, the drama on the stage began to rap in full swing again.

The voice fell on the man's ears, no longer harsh and impatient, on the contrary, perhaps because of the mood at this time, it sounded so comfortable.

Even the steps taken became unusually brisk.

She's coming, she's coming
