Chapter Forty-Eight: The Feast of Flowers
After Murong Xi got up, he slowly walked in front of the prime minister's wife, and then asked innocently, "Grandmother?" Are you really Xi'er's maternal grandmother? Xi'er is so happy, in addition to her father and concubine, Xi'er has other relatives. ”
Speaking of the end, Murong Xi didn't forget to work harder, his eyes were slightly red, and he finished the last sentence with a crying voice. provoked the ladies present to cry, really pitiful.
The Prime Minister's wife didn't dare to look at Murong Xi's eyes, but said softly: "Xi'er, it's good to be back." Your grandfather thinks about you every day. "What he said is true, in addition to mourning Jin'er, the Prime Minister is thinking about the child who is outcast.
Murong Xi sneered in her heart, she didn't know if the Prime Minister was worried about her, but she knew that this Prime Minister's wife really didn't care about herself at all. It seems that he wishes he could die outside, but the expression on Murong Xi's face has not changed, and his gentle eyes are full of tears. It's pitiful, and then she suddenly said: "Xi'er is very satisfied knowing that she still has relatives, Xi'er is a little bored, let's go outside to breathe." ”
After finishing speaking, he quickly walked outside the hall with a handkerchief covering his lips. Murong Yan on the side was very dissatisfied with the performance of the prime minister's wife, she still knew her grandmother very well, every time she saw her, she would shush and ask for warmth, and she would care about herself from the bottom of her heart. So my sister is also her granddaughter, why do you want to be so born. My sister is already very pitiful, she has been taken away since she was a child, and she finally came back, how could her grandmother be like this. So, the expression on her face was not very good, and she got up and said, "Mother, I'll go see my sister." ”
Then she trotted all the way out with Murong Xi.
"Yan'er, accompany your sister well." Originally, Emperor Yuan's concubine wanted Yan'er to stay, but she didn't want Yan'er to go at all. However, with so many people in the palace, she naturally pretended to be virtuous and virtuous. Therefore, he immediately changed his words and asked his daughter to accompany Murong Xi more.
"Sister, don't run around, wait for Yan'er." Murong Yan shouted after chasing Murong Xi out.
"Yan'er, why did you come out." Murong Xi had no choice but to stop and turn around and ask.
"Sister, I know you're sad and sad. Don't you still have Yan'er? It's my grandmother who is too much, and Yan'er can't stand it anymore. Yan'er was afraid that you would be sad, so she followed. Murong Yan replied seriously.
"My sister is not sad, she really wants to come out to breathe. It's so boring inside, I just want to know if that's the case with the annual Hundred Flowers Banquet? "Murong Xi is really not sad, he just doesn't want to sit inside. She just made the lady sitting there think a little, hehe.
"Yes, Yan'er is bored too. It's just that my sister doesn't know that the Hundred Flowers Banquet is the rule of Lin Feng Kingdom, and it is indispensable every year. Murong Yan said helplessly.
"That's why I got bored and came out. When does the feast start? Murong Xi asked.
"It's probably half an hour. However, this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is different from the past. In the past, it was held in the Feiyun Palace, but this year, the mother proposed that there were more flowers blooming in the garden of the Imperial Garden than in the Imperial Garden, and a hundred flowers were blooming. Therefore, this year, a hundred flowers feast will be held in the garden. Murong Yan took a breath after finishing speaking.
"So that's the case, should Yan'er go back and report her safety to her mother, I'm afraid she will worry about you." Murong Xi asked.
"It's okay, let's just sit here for a while, and when the hour comes, they will naturally go to the garden, and they will see us then." Murong Yan said with a smile.
These two people chatted outside to enjoy the flowers, and after a while, they saw that the Yuan Emperor and the concubine were in the front, followed by those ladies who were slowly walking in this direction.
Emperor Yuan's concubine breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yan'er, and said, "It's good that both of you are here, the time is almost up, and the two of you will follow your mother to the garden together." ”
"Yes." Murong Xi and Murong Yan held hands and walked behind Emperor Yuan's concubine, at this time, Lan Ziyu looked at Murong Xi again with a calm look in his eyes, and then looked at other places.
Who is Murong Xi? She spotted Lan Ziyu's gaze for the first time, but she didn't know what Lan Ziyu wanted to do, so she just pretended not to know anything.
"Ladies, go first to the garden. The main shrine will have to wait a while before it can pass. "Emperor Yuan asked the ladies to go into the garden first, and she took Murong Xi and Murong Yan to the side hall closest to the garden and waited for His Majesty to enter the garden together.
"Yes." After the ladies finished speaking, they walked towards the garden, but after the prime minister's wife glanced at Murong Xi very meaningfully before entering, she opened her eyes and entered the garden.
His Majesty took the prince and others to the gate of the garden, and the concubines and concubines of Emperor Yuan calculated the time and waited for His Majesty at the gate.
I only heard a shout from Father-in-law Shun in the garden: "Your Majesty has arrived, Emperor Yuan's concubine has arrived, and the crown prince has arrived in ......" After a series of readings, the emperor entered the high platform of the garden with the shouting of Father-in-law Shun. The ministers knelt on the ground with their families and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
"Zhong Aiqing is flat. Hehe, today's Hundred Flowers Banquet Yuan Huang Guifei proposed to be held in the garden of this Yujing Garden, but I didn't expect that it would be fragrant as soon as I came in. It looks like this is really suitable for a hundred flowers banquet, Xin'er, I want to reward you well. The emperor said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this is what a concubine should do, and a concubine should not be rewarded." Emperor Yuan's concubine also said with a smile.
The emperor nodded, and after saying some congratulatory messages, he said: "All the ministers should know that this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is really happy. My princess has been missing for fifteen years, and just a few days ago I found her. I didn't expect to see her one day in my lifetime. ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." The ministers knelt down again and shouted.
"You don't have to be formal today, just be casual. Hurry up. When the ministers heard this, they got up and sat down.
I only heard the emperor say: "Xi'er, you come to my side." ”
After Murong Xi stood up, he slowly stepped forward and shouted softly with a smile: "Father." ”
The emperor pulled Murong Xi and said, "This is my pearl in the sea, quiet as a princess." She was the child I pitied the most, and she finally came home. The emperor's voice trembled a little as he spoke, which showed how excited he was. Murong Xi said in his heart, this is what he really loves himself.
The ministers below shouted in unison: "See Princess Jingruo, I wish Her Royal Highness the princess Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
"Ministers, please." Although Murong Xi's voice was gentle, there was a hint of majesty, which made the emperor very satisfied.
At this time, Murong Xi saw a tearful gaze in the audience looking at him, who is this person?
Murong Xi's eyes looked at the man's side, the Prime Minister's wife. So this excited old man is the Prime Minister, her maternal grandfather? As the Prime Minister's wife said, this grandfather seemed to be really excited, although there were tears in his eyes, but he was happy from the bottom of his heart. If she has a chance, she must go to meet the prime minister for a while.
"The Hundred Flowers Banquet begins!" With the emperor's voice, the Hundred Flowers Banquet began.
"Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the night to begin?" Feng Mingye still smiled evilly in purple clothes, and then raised his eyebrows and looked at His Majesty and asked.
The arrival of the phoenix night made the ministers instantly feel the temperature in the garden drop.
"Night? Now that you're here, sit down. "The emperor was surprised, when did this kid participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, every time he let him participate, he was bored, why did he take the initiative to come this time?
"Hehe, thank you, Your Majesty." When Feng Mingye walked to his seat, he looked at Murong Xi the moment he sat down. This cold gaze seemed to complain about why Murong Xi didn't wear the purple clothes he had made for her, but instead put on the light blue cloud brocade clothes. Don't you look down on his clothes?
Murong Xi took Feng Mingye's eyes stiffly, Emma, do you want to freeze her to death. Didn't you just not wear the clothes he gave you? It's not so stingy, it's really stingy.
Tonight, Murong Xi finally saw what the Hundred Flowers Banquet was, and originally thought it was to gather the ministers to celebrate the festival in the palace and enjoy the flowers. Isn't the result a blind date meeting? The key is not to follow your own wishes, or to marry by Your Majesty. Generally, women perform on stage, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the women have to show their skills.
It was simply boring, and Murong Xi's heart was roaring again.
No, it's the turn of the daughter of the Ministry of Rites to start performing, and she is performing dance. What is very innovative is that when she was preparing, a few wall drums were brought up, and she slowly stepped forward after changing her clothes. Her dance dress is fiery red, which is very suitable for the occasion. After the performance began, it was like a smooth flow, which made Murong Xi can't help but take a few more looks. I picked up the drumsticks and danced to the sound of the music, which was not only pleasant to the ear but also very atmospheric. After the dance, Murong Xi unconsciously applauded.
And the ministers also applauded in unison, and the Yuan Emperor and Concubine said with a smile: "The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is really good, and the palace likes it very much." ”
The ladies have a plan in their hearts and watch the next show seriously.
And at this time, it was Lan Ziyu's turn to perform on stage. It stands to reason that Lan Ziyu is not qualified to perform on stage at all, but with the support of Emperor Yuan's concubine, who dares to say anything.
Lan Ziyu is not dancing, nor painting, but playing the qin.
Her dress today was originally very elegant, and the repertoire she played was also very ethereal. The moment the sound of the piano was remembered, the birds below were silent, quietly listening to her piano sound. It wasn't until a long time after she finished playing that the people below came to their senses and kept thinking of the applause.
Murong Xi said in his heart, it seems that this Lan Ziyu is not useless, and he plays the piano well. Hehe, if she is allowed to play, it will be called a magic sound.
The smile on the face of Emperor Yuan's concubine was even brighter, and she only heard the emperor say, "Whose daughter are you?" What is your name? It is possible to play such a beautiful sound. ”
