Chapter 010: The Royal Birthday Banquet (Part II)

In the palace of Nuoda, there is a high platform in front of it, which is divided into two steps, on which are placed some exquisite and luxurious chairs. The first order is high, and the three seats on the top are the queen mother, the emperor and the queen's mother, and the second order is naturally the seats of the princes, princesses and concubines; The seats in the hall on both sides are the seats of the ministers and their families. I saw that there was a small table in front of each seat, which was placed with preserved fruit cakes and tea.

After the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen sat down on the throne, all the ministers and eunuchs took their seats one after another.

Li Ruoyuan's face turned pale with fright when she heard that the emperor was coming, but when she saw that His Royal Highness Yun Qing did not immediately tell the emperor, but was called by Concubine De, walked up the steps and sat down, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But Luo Ziqi doesn't think so, Luo Ziqi naturally understands the temper of Her Royal Highness the princess, and she will refuse to give up.

Indeed, Jun Yun didn't let it go, but his brother warned him not to make trouble at the imperial grandmother's birthday banquet, which made the imperial grandmother unhappy, Jun Yun thought lightly that there was a chance to clean up Li Ruoyuan again, just like what woman Taifu taught to take revenge, ten years is not too late... So he quietly followed his biological mother, Concubine De.

A small episode passed, and soon, the banquet began, and everyone sent congratulatory gifts.

First of all, the emperor is proud, "the queen mother, the son of the minister is to go to the Bodhi Temple for the queen mother to ask for the Buddha beads, the son of the minister knows that the queen mother does not like vulgar things, so he went to ask for this string of Buddha beads to accompany the queen mother, wishing the queen mother a blessing such as the East China Sea, longevity than the South Mountain"

"Okay, good, the emperor has a heart" The queen mother was good three times in a row, and she seemed to be very satisfied.

Next is the current emperor's younger brother the third prince Jun Runuo, "What the sons and daughters offered is a painting made by hand for three days, it is a temple painting, and I wish the queen mother to worship the Buddha and recite the scriptures for a peaceful day." ”

"Okay, Nuo'er's paintings have always been outstanding, why don't you take a look" The Queen Mother proposed, Jun Runuo can be described as a prince of idle clouds and wild cranes, who doesn't like power and money and likes to paint the most, and a painting is even priceless, because he will send paintings when he meets someone who is destined, and ordinary ministers can't buy them, so they are more precious.

"Come on, unfold the painting" The three princes ordered someone to take it to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's joyful voice sounded, "It's really wonderful, it's wonderful"

The people in the hall were very curious about what kind of painting was so magical, and they all wanted to find out, and they had to wait patiently for the Queen Mother to finish admiring it. After a while, the queen mother asked the palace maid to unfold the painting to show the people in the audience, and the audience first said "huh", and then showed a sudden expression.

But I saw a tall mountain in the painting, with verdant trees and mist, and there was no temple in the mountain, not even a corner of the temple. A sheep intestine path, winding, sometimes hidden, leading to the small river at the foot of the mountain. A small monk on the riverbank was fetching water with a bucket.

When you first look at this painting, you must wonder, "Where is the temple?" "After looking and thinking about it, you will realize that there is a temple hidden in the mountains.

"The third prince is really a genius, the most ingenious thing about this painting is that it should be hidden, and it should be exposed, and the old man admires it," the princes' Taifu Yun praised greatly.

"I have won awards, this painting is called the picture of the Tibetan Temple in the deep mountains," the three princes introduced with a smile.

The next thing is that there are no wonders, the same objects, the queen mother is not interested, and I don't know when it is a head, suddenly a familiar and delicate female voice sounded, "The courtiers sent a pair of auspicious koi, I wish the queen mother every year today, years and years."

Luo Ziqi was bored staring at the tea in the quilt, a familiar voice came, and when she raised her eyes, it turned out to be Li Ruoyuan, who had just come to greet her.

Luo Ziqi suddenly thought that at this year's birthday banquet, it seemed that Jun Yunqing was also a pair of koi, but looking at Li Ruoyuan's koi presented by the palace maid, one white and one red, what is more subtle is that the pattern on it is extremely good, showing a looming phoenix when swimming, far lighter than Jun Yun's koi, Luo Ziqi thought that he deserved it, since he saw the koi sent by Jun Yunqing, smart people would not compete with the royal people, because the royal family offended by the two fish was not worth it, and this Li Ruoyuan was also a stupid person.

"Okay, whose daughter is the audience, it's time to have a heart, reward" The queen mother was naturally attracted by the pair of koi fish and ordered a reward.

Looking at Jun Yunqing again, when she saw the koi that was more beautiful than herself, she suddenly felt that she had been robbed of the limelight, not to mention that Li Ruoyuan was glaring at her just now, and she couldn't hold her breath anymore.

"Imperial grandmother, don't you like the koi sent by the son, it took a long time for the son-in-law to find it, does the imperial grandmother not love the son-chan" Jun Yun's choked voice sounded in the hall, and with the tearful eyes, a tear blinked on the eyelashes, arousing the empress dowager's pity,

"What nonsense is Qing'er, how can the imperial grandmother not love Qing'er and come to the imperial grandmother's side"

Jun Yun walked in front of the Queen Mother with small steps, stopped, and looked at Luo Ziqi's little shoulders twitching from the perspective of Luo Ziqi, as if he had received a great grievance, thinking of the little girl who was as spoiled as he was in his previous life, and thought that he would pretend to be pitiful and pity like in his previous life, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend a little. But he didn't know that in the eyes of others, it hit people's hearts like ice and snow dissipating.

This other person is the third prince Jun Mo, as soon as he entered the main hall, looking for Jun Yunqing's eyes were attracted by the cool and tender face of Lu Ziqi next to Jun Yunqing, and he only thought that he would be a very interesting person.

So involuntarily focused on her, and then looked at which family's youngest daughter she was, and when it came to seeing her go to the position of Luo Xiangguo, it turned out to be a villain who lived in everyone's rumors. Since Luo Ziqi passed her third birthday, she avoided not being able to control her emotions, and her birthday every year was just her own birthday, so except for those who had seen her on her birthday, almost no one had seen her, not to mention that three years have passed, even those who have seen it may not be able to recognize it, and it is natural that Junmo does not know it.

Although it was his mother's sister who was complaining, Jun Mo knew that he, the master who would not be wronged without a sister, so his eyes glanced at Luo Ziqi from time to time, and looked at it with a gentle bend, bending into Jun Mo's heart, so that this nine-year-old boy still can't forget that moment of brilliance after many years.

Jun Yun, who was making an awkward scene here, coaxed the queen mother to only accept her own koi, and let Li Ruoyuan give the koi to herself, and the queen mother naturally relied on her in every way. But Li Ruoyuan, who was in the center of the hall, made a long-time salute, and no one asked her to get up, so she was miserable and couldn't be arrogant.

Li Yangfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't bear the fact that his wife felt sorry for his daughter, and said, "Queen Mother, do you think you can let the little girl get up?" ”

The queen mother seemed to have just seen Li Ruoyuan, who was still saluting below, and hurriedly said, "Look at my memory, I can't remember things when I'm old, get up"

"Yes, Empress Dowager Xie" Li Ruoyuan knelt for a long time, and suddenly couldn't stand up, and fell to the ground, causing everyone to laugh, especially Jun Yun took the lead and laughed the most happily, thinking that he deserved it, who let you provoke me.

Li Ruoyuan was instantly ashamed, and hurriedly got up and returned to Mrs. Shangshu, but her eyes looked fiercely at Jun Yunqing, who was smiling like a flower, as if the two of them were no longer together.

Next, Luo Ziqi sent a poem, the cold girl, the cold voice, lingering in the hall, like a bird, the queen mother praised again and again, but also echoed in the hearts of several young people...

Luo Ziling is a sword dancer, a ten-year-old boy in the hall, his face is handsome, and the corners of his mouth are smiling, and he doesn't know how many young ladies have lost their hearts...

Seeing Jun Yun staring at Luo Ziling intently, Luo Ziqi was a little worried.

In the previous life, Jun Yunqing and her were also friends, and the two had the same style in their previous lives, until for Junlu, she changed from that arrogant and simple temperament to this, remembering that Jun Yunqing seemed to be Xinyue and his eldest brother Luo Ziling, but after Junlu ascended the throne, he married Zhao Guo as a princess.

Luo Ziqi naturally knew that his brother didn't seem to like this kind of arrogant personality very much, and he liked the kind of soft and weak lady, and he warned Jun Yunqing in his previous life, but in the end, he still broke someone's heart...

Looking at his brother Luo Ziling again, his expression was really faint, and his first impression was greatly discounted.

Luo Ziqi shook his head, evil fate...
