In the end, she has been in charge of the harem for many years, and the queen forcibly suppressed her displeasure, smiled, and said softly with a dignified and virtuous demeanor: "It was a temporary mistake in the palace, and I hope the lord should not take it to heart." Knowing that the emperor was already dissatisfied with her at this time, she could only endure her anger and show weakness in time. If the image she has been running for many years is ruined because she can't bear it for a while, even if she has merit in raising the prince, she may not be treated lightly.
Since the queen has shown weakness, it is inconvenient for Mu Aotian to continue to pursue it, and with a wave of the emperor's hand from the west, the banquet began.
"The royal sister is more active, please order Lord Haihan to be more tolerant." As soon as she sat down, Shang Zixu suddenly came up and looked at her slightly apologetically, but for some reason, she always felt that Shang Zixu didn't seem to say this because she loved her sister.
"Don't worry, the lord of this order is not an unreasonable person, and he will not have anything to do with it." Without much thought, she thought of the little girl who was only a teenager, although she had caused her a lot of trouble, she would not be angry because of it.
Hearing this, Shang Zixu couldn't help but smile warmly, "It's that this king is too worried." After that, he sat back in his position, and a pair of deep eyes swept over the queen without a trace, and the darkness under the eyes was even deeper, and a cold chill rose slightly, but it dissipated in an instant, without a trace.
Nanye, who seemed to be hidden in the night, seemed to inadvertently glance at Shang Zixu, and a thoughtful look flashed on his face.
Yu Lian'er, who was sitting on the right side, was silent all the way into the palace, quietly looking at her prince. Others may not know the way, but for her, the princess who has the opportunity to accompany the prince, she is very aware of the prince's temperament. On the surface, she seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact she is a cold-hearted and cold-hearted person, even in the house, she is not salty or light, and she does not see anything special about treating others. Only after the appearance of this martial arts commander, the frequent gestures of goodwill made her feel frightened.
Thinking back to the previous speculation, the worry in his heart added another layer, and even the eyes that looked at Mu Aotian removed a slight respect and carried a strong sense of unkindness.
If the prince is really addicted to broken sleeves, and he loves the martial arts master, how should she deal with herself?! In order to sit on the throne of this princess, she has borne the infamy of the world for many years, and has suffered many white eyes, even if she is willing to steal secrets for her western neighbor, she will eventually be disgraced by the family and be ashamed. Even if it's just a position of prestige next to that person, rather than a simple glance back......
He lowered his eyes and bit his lower lip tightly, and his hidden eyes were full of sadness and sadness. After a while, there was a touch of determination and ruthlessness, and this time, she was going to gamble on herself.
Whether it is a high-level power or a deep affection for wings, it is all in this thought.
When the lively longevity festival was halfway through, the emperor above the high position suddenly laughed, and everyone followed the prestige, only to see the pretty Princess Jianan was attached to the emperor's ear, as if she was saying something, which made people wonder if they said something funny, so that the emperor who has always been solemn has this joy.
"Haha The emperor laughed loudly, patted the table in front of him excitedly, swept over the black pressure of everyone in the venue with a smile on his eyebrows, and said in a slightly majestic but joyful voice: "If Princess Jianan didn't mention it, I would have almost forgotten." It's been a few years since this year, and many of the young men and women who have been crowned are still unmarried......"
Speaking of this, all the courtiers immediately guessed the emperor's intentions, and looked at the emperor with sincere fear, each with all kinds of tastes.
"I have a big birthday today, I am deeply happy, all the young ladies who have not been out of the cabinet and are unmarried can come forward to show their talents, I am in charge, and I will definitely point out a good family business, so as to add joy!"
Hearing this, those young ladies who sat on the women's table and did not leave the cabinet shy replied were all flirtatious and hidden, and they were all stupid/desired/moved in their hearts. The emperor personally made a promise, how can they not be eager to try if they can have a good family business?
The folk customs of the western neighborhood are not as serious and feudal as others, and there will still be many bold women in comparison, and their manners and behaviors will not be too pretentious, which is a major feature.
With the permission of her mother and father, a daughter slowly stood up from her position, took light and small steps, raised her head and walked towards the open space in front of her, and her graceful posture suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
"The little girl Ouyang Yu, since the Qing Dynasty, played a song for the emperor to congratulate the emperor on his birthday and Tianqi!" The girl's delicate birth, her voice is also delicate and lovely, with a touch of light refreshment, and she won the praise of many people as soon as she spoke. There will be another woman in the west who will not let her eyebrows go!
Speaking of the word 'again', it can be seen that there has been a precedent. Legend has it that 20 years ago, there was a talented and beautiful concubine named Xue Xiang. No one knows where she came from, but she has a strategy that surpasses that of civil and military officials, unique opinions, and unparalleled looks in the world, which made the princes of all countries at that time fall for her. In the last battle, in a battle for dominance, the emperor of the western neighborhood won a complete victory, and he was satisfied with marrying the woman who surprised the world. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the Snow Queen died of illness after giving birth to a son, which made everyone at that time sigh that a generation of red faces was easy to disappear.
And the son born to the Snow Queen is the proud third prince of their western neighbor...... Shang Zixu. The third prince lost his mother since he was a child, and the emperor of the west couldnonized the concubine Rou of the year, which is now the queen, a few years after his death, and classified the three princes as his parenting range, which he did not pay attention to for many years. It is really fortunate to have the three princes Fu Lu than the sky......
Over the years, there have been countless women who have emulated the former queen, and a few years ago, there were also a few bold and beautiful women who were promised several sons with very high titles, and now they see such a woman again, so that they can't help but think of the former queen and the ill-fated three princes under the approval.
Some of the old courtiers who knew the twists and turns were even more profound, and they couldn't help but look quietly, but they saw Shang Zi sitting in the seat looking at Ouyang Qianjin who slowly walked to the center of the courtyard with a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be moved, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
"Hahaha, okay, Ouyang Pifu, you have given birth to a good granddaughter! Such a temperament will be amazing in the future! The west neighbor Huang Ha Lu Ha smiled, turned to look at the old man in gray clothes and white hair in the banquet, and praised with a smile. It's just that those bottomless black eyes, mixed with all kinds of things, are hidden in them, and they can't see their shape.
"That's the emperor's appreciation, and it's already the greatest thing that a girl can sew and mend as a girl." Ouyang Lao Gan's eyes glared, and a pair of weathered old eyes swept fiercely at his son in a brocade robe who was sitting not far away. This rebel, who doesn't know the etiquette, just brought a little side lady into the palace banquet, and actually brought in this wild girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, and in this life, she was fascinated by this mother and daughter, and sooner or later she will regret it!
After receiving the dissatisfied eyes of his old father, Governor Ouyang thought that his old father was not on the same roof with him, and he didn't understand his family, so he didn't take it to heart.
"That's it, in that case, let's get started." The West Neighbor Emperor smiled, squinted his eyes and said disapprehantly.
Ouyang Yu responded, and the girl in charge of the silk and bamboo string music in Yuefu sent an ancient xylophone, a stove of cigarettes and a basin of clean spring water. After a series of incense burning, it is time to get ready.
It was the first time Mu Aotian had seen such a strict and well-behaved scene, and he watched the woman's every move motionless with wide eyes and motionless, smacking his lips with amusement.
Hearing the sound keenly, Shang Zixu tilted his head slightly, and what he saw was the little face full of interest, and his unusually bright eyes were like the stars above the night sky, which was beautiful and moving. Suddenly, the sonorous sound of the bowstring falling sounded in his ears, and then he woke up in a trance, and after secretly annoying his gaffe, he turned his head as if no one was around, and looked at the center of the courtyard seriously.
Yu Li'er, who saw all this in his eyes, glanced at Mu Aotian calmly, and then looked at Shang Zixu, and his slightly drooping eyes couldn't see the emotions mixed in.
An undercurrent slowly unfolds in this lively festival.
