Chapter 150: Different Identities
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the night of the Lantern Festival.
The sun had just set, but the whole capital seemed to have fallen asleep, and there were few pedestrians on the street, so calm that they could even hear it breathing. Mu Guogong's funeral has only passed three days, but the state funeral period is 40 days, and the emperor decreed that the people should not hold big happy events. Therefore, this year's Lantern Festival, the streets can almost be said to be empty. On the street, except for a few shops that usually operate at night, they are still lit and open, and the lights of Zuichun Building are probably the most dazzling.
No one knows who the person behind the drunken spring building is, people in the capital say that the people behind this drunken spring building are very strange, the museum has been closed since Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is okay to close the door and not do business at the most lively time, and now it is the state funeral period, but it is even more unscrupulous to open the door to do business, and it seems that it is against whom. But the person behind the scenes is too mysterious, and no one knows who it is.
On the contrary, when there is silence in the capital, the palace is even more lively.
Tonight is the night of the Lantern Festival, and it is also the time when all countries come to celebrate, for this banquet, the emperor has also prepared for a long time, and there is no other purpose, Tianchu and Moyan will bring a lot of rare treasures to please the emperor every time they come, although the emperor does not lack this thing, but seeing the other two countries kneeling at his feet, that feeling is as if the whole world is in his hands, very wonderful.
In addition, it is precisely because of the recent coup d'Γ©tat in the Tianchu Kingdom that it is impossible for the Emperor and the Moyan Kingdom not to know this news. For example, today's emperor of Chu was replaced by Gusu Haoyue, and today is also the first time that Gusu Haoyue attended Dongyue as the monarch of Tianchu State, and the emperor's abacus was accurate. Although the Tianchu State has always been a vassal state of Dongyue, everyone knows how the Tianchu State, as a vassal state, could be willing. Therefore, even if it was the previous monarch of the Tianchu Kingdom, the relationship with the Moyan Kingdom would not be much better, how could Wan Yan Jin put Dongyue in such a passive position.
At this banquet, Wan Yanjin was also present, he was the person in charge of the banquet, so he naturally wanted to participate in the whole process of the banquet. It's just that it's a little different from the past, today there is a woman sitting next to him, and the two are sitting together, envying many dignitaries. Originally, the official who had a daughter in the family deliberately let his children dress up more, in case he was caught by Prince Jin, he couldn't be a princess, and it was good to be a concubine, and he was better than others. Although, Prince Jin and Mu Chengcheng are already recognized as a pair of beautiful people in the capital. But now that the Guogong Mansion is in the middle of the road, there may be some opportunities.
It's just that now that they have met the two, the officials who have this luck mentality are completely disappointed.
Mu Chengcheng had just recovered from the grief of losing his grandfather, and there was no look of joy and sorrow on his face, compared to the nobility and self-confidence in the past, he was now more restrained. I didn't dress up like other women, but I wore a set of light green Luo skirt wraps, which looked more simple and simple, and the posture of the city never needed any embellishment, and a little bit of rouge was also suitable for heavy makeup.
Everyone knows that Mu Tingcheng is the first talented woman in Bianjing, and she is the only granddaughter of Mu Guogong, but she has never entered the palace to participate in the banquet. Mu Guogong has long been old, and Mu Tingcheng's parents have both died in the battlefield a long time ago, and Wan Yan Jin never took her to the banquet, so there are many officials who have never seen Mu Tingcheng.
Mu Tingcheng sat beside Wan Yan Jin, showing the dignified demeanor that everyone should have. Wan Yan Jin was beside her, and her movements were intimate, which confirmed the relationship between the two. You must know that in the usual banquets, Wan Yan Jin sits alone in one position, and can sit for the whole banquet without saying a word with a calm face, and anyone can avoid contact with Wan Yan Jin.
There were many people at the banquet, and the dignitaries and dignitaries drank and had fun with each other, and praised each other. The lights are red and green, the singing and dancing are leveling, the green, fat, red and thin, so at a glance, there are several joyful appearances of the people.
If you want to talk about this banquet, the worst mood is probably the emperor. The new monarch of Tianchu State didn't give any face, and let the entire banquet wait for his arrival, isn't this a clear provocation? Where to hang the emperor's face. Originally, the most important point of this banquet was to win over Gusu Haoyue, but who would have thought that he would become the monarch of Tianchu after changing his identity as a proton, but now the shelf is bigger than his father's emperor.
The emperor was in a fit of rage, and a eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside the hall and shouted, "Your Majesty, the monarch of the Tianchu Kingdom has entered the court." β
As soon as the eunuch came, the dancers who were dancing in the middle also retreated, and everyone present stopped what they were doing, waiting for the emperor's order.
A trace of annoyance flashed in the emperor's eyebrows, but after seeing that Yan Jin was still expressionless, and didn't seem to have the slightest opinion on this matter, he gave up and said, "Hurry up, please." β
All the people locked their eyes at the door of the main hall, and they wanted to see what the new monarch of Tianchu Kingdom, who had been the proton of Dongyue Kingdom, should look like when he saw the emperor now.
The oncoming person was full of anger, and his long ink-splashed hair was tied up high, fixed with a red blood hosta, and his hair rose and fell slightly with the wind, which added a little more domineering to the moment this person appeared. A pair of sword eyebrows are sharp, like eyes full of murderous aura, the corners of his mouth slightly hung an evil smile, step by step from outside the hall, the wind under his feet, every step is so vigorous. is still wearing a red robe, full of charm, but the clothes are embroidered with the dragon body of the noble Ninety-Five, and there is a full imperial spirit in the evil charm.
I haven't seen her for a few months, and Gusu Haoyue seems to have changed as a person.
This is the thought of the officials in the court, although Gusu Haoyue is just a proton in Bianjing, but he has also been awarded the title of His Royal Highness Ziyue, and the laughter banquet in the palace is usually attended with Prince Jin occasionally. Moreover, Gusu Haoyue's reputation in the capital is also very strong, they all think that Gusu Haoyue is just a waste lingering in the fireworks and willow alleys, who knows, changing an identity, can give people such a compelling momentum.
Wan Yan Jin's eyes narrowed, and they fell on Gu Su Haoyue, and the two of them looked at each other, and unconsciously sparked some sparks. Gu Su Haoyue's eyes were full of murderous aura, and when she fell on Wan Yan Jin's hand holding Mu Qingcheng's waist, she couldn't wait to draw her sword with Wan Yan Jin now.
But Wan Yan Jin pursed her lower lip slightly, but the strength in her hand was not slackened at all, and she was still holding Mu Qingcheng's waist.
The emperor will Gu Su Haoyue in a dragon robe, although it is not bright yellow, but it is enough to see that this is a naked provocation. Although his father always ridiculed the Dongyue Kingdom, he did not dare to wear a dragon robe to worship. Gusu Haoyue, this is going to be reversed.
Without waiting for Gu Su Haoyue to salute, the emperor threw a cold word at him, "The monarch of Tianchu country, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I don't have the appearance of His Royal Highness Ziyue at all, it seems that the monarch didn't treat you well when he was in Dongyue, and now he is dissatisfied." β
The corners of Gusu Haoyue's lips hooked, and suddenly Huayue seemed to have lost her color. "Your Majesty, isn't it because of your past hospitality that the ministers can have today? How dare you be dissatisfied. β
It is said that the lion with fried hair, just give it smooth hair. Gu Su Haoyue's words suddenly eliminated the dissatisfaction that the emperor had been squeezing in his heart for a long time today, and made the emperor's mood instantly better.
The emperor laughed happily, and he thought that if Gusu Haoyue was acquainted, then Tianchu State would still be a vassal state of Dongyue, and it would be cheaper for him to be the monarch of a vassal country. But if he didn't know each other and had to fight him, then he couldn't be blamed for sending troops to merge Tianchu and Dongyue.
"Very well. Quickly give the throne to the monarch of the Tianchu Kingdom. The emperor was so happy that he spoke with a smile.
Gusu Haoyue saluted and walked to her seat. This seat happened to be facing Wan Yan Jin, and as soon as he sat down, he happened to see Wan Yan Jin and Mu Qingcheng's intimate appearance, and suddenly, all of a sudden, any violent temper came up.
A pair of cold eyes stared at Wan Yan Jin, eager to go over and grab his clothes now, and the two of them went out to fight.
At these times when he was not in Dongyue, he knew everything that happened in Liang Chenyue, he was eager to break Wan Yan Jin's body into ten thousand pieces in Tianchu, he really shouldn't believe him.
He can pay silently to Liang Chenyue without reciprocating, but he spares no effort when he breaks her heart. Don't want this kind of love.
Wan Yan Jin turned the wine glass, noticed the eyes cast by Gu Su Haoyue, lazily lifted his eyes, glanced at Gu Su Haoyue, with a little joking smile, such a casual appearance made Gu Su Haoyue angry, if it wasn't for the banquet, he would really rush over to fight with him, his martial arts are not as good as him, he will have no scruples.
Wan Yan Jin saw that Gu Su Haoyue's eyes could spew sparks when she saw him, and she felt very cool unconsciously. spoiled Mu Qingcheng even more unscrupulously, so he almost fed her grapes with his own hands.
I thought that when no one was paying attention, I must find Su Mujin to vent my anger, but Gu Su Haoyue was dragged by the emperor to talk about the exchanges between the two countries all the time, so he couldn't get out of it at all, even if Yan Jin was even more unscrupulous in front of him, and looked at him with playful eyes from time to time, Gu Su Haoyue's mood was forced to the verge of an outbreak, and when she talked to the emperor, her tone was a little more debauched.
