Chapter 413: A Feast of Broken Wings
Mo Yu's long hair was flowing with dots of clear light and broken shadows, and after listening to what Nan Fusheng had just said, Nan Zuisheng couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, but she felt very sour and melancholy: "...... Is this any different from killing his wife with his own hands? ”
Distraught, she picked up the white jade spoon and stirred the blue stalk rice bird's nest porridge elegantly and slowly, and the half bowl of jasper that was originally quietly condensed in the white jade bowl rendered flow marks with Nan Zuisheng's movements, and the smooth and full blue stalk rice was like a handful of jade broken crystals that had been crushed, revealing an elegant and pleasant brilliance.
"There is no difference." Nan Fusheng's reply was concise and to the point,
The slender jade fingers holding the white jade spoon froze slightly for a moment, Nan Zuisheng lowered her thick eyelashes, and her eyelids were filled with fan-shaped dark shadows, silently covering the sadness and sadness in her ink eyes, as well as the inexplicable struggle and sigh.
How could Nan Fusheng not notice her emotional changes?
He held the soft wattle that Nan Zui Sheng was holding the white jade spoon, and sure enough, the soft wattle wrapped in the palm of his hand was cold to the bone, as if this narrow and slender soft wattle was a work of art carved from beautiful jade, except for the smooth and flawless beautiful jade radiance, there was not a trace of warm touch.
Nan Fusheng sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Beauty and imperial power, which is more important?" ”
Hearing this, Nan Zuisheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he only felt that the blood in his whole body instantly froze and stagnated for a moment, but it warmed up again in the next second.
“…… I understand. She pursed her pale red lips, and her delicate eyebrows were soaked in the pale golden glow of the glazed palace lamp, and the inky eyes that were increasingly reflected were shining like a sink in the starry river at night.
The handsome face and the magnificence of the Bei Que Zhu Palace complement each other, bringing Nan Fusheng a kind of noble elegance like a god, he held Nan Zuisheng's cold pair of soft wattles, and his thick and slightly rough palms were extremely warm and hot: "No, you still don't understand." ”
The palace lamp Hui Ze shallow outlined at the end of the phoenix eyes added a gorgeous and charming style to Nan Fusheng's whole person, he stared at Nan Zuisheng's immortal face, deliberately put his voice softly, and slowly expounded the coldest reality in the most gentle tone: "The king cares not only about the imperial throne, but also the whole country, whether the people in the Sakura country can live and work in peace and contentment, all on the basis of whether the king is wise and diligent, if the king is indulged in love all day long, then the Sakura country will not be far from the day of destruction." ”
The silk shawl swayed along the jade arm, and Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes to look at the blue stem rice bird's nest porridge that had already been cold in the white jade bowl, and his originally soft and clear voice sounded full of sadness at this moment, as if the tail note on the guqin was gradually declining: "But...... Her Royal Highness is innocent. ”
As if knowing that Nan Zuisheng would say this, Nan Fusheng hooked his pale thin lips and smiled to charm all beings: "Silly girl, have you forgotten that she is already Her Royal Highness the Supreme and Noble Queen?" ”
When Nan Zui Sheng heard this, he was a little sluggish.
Her Royal Highness the Supreme and Noble Queen is so honorable and glorious that there is no need to say too much, just the blue palace skirt embroidered with intricate phoenix patterns will take dozens of embroiderers for half a year to embroider such a luxurious and extravagant blue phoenix dress with twelve curtains hanging down with the moon-white gold peacock feather thread.
So as a price, as a price to enjoy the glory and glory that belongs exclusively to Her Royal Highness the Queen--- what are the beads around the king, and what are the clouds and temples and beads?
Thinking about this, Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and smiled.
The royal family is indeed the most extravagant and gorgeous place in the world, but it is also the most cold and cruel place.
In this golden wire cage made of gold and jade, the delusions of countless beauties are buried, and the prosperous dreams of countless beauties are also buried.
The Son of Heaven is the arbiter who buries these beauties with his own hands, and he can enjoy the glitz and glamour of the pearls while sitting on the country, if these women who are used as bargaining chips or bets are abandoned by the family, and there is no value to weigh the interests of political affairs, then the king who once favored them will mercilessly cut off the lingering love threads.
A prosperous dream can only be a flashy dream.
Her Royal Highness can only be Her Royal Highness.
As for the king, it can only be rain and dew, grace and power: it is also a love breaker, and a cold place in a high place.
The eighteen dancing girls on the peony brocade dark pattern carpet trembled with their light and translucent soft gauze water sleeves, and tears like broken threads and pearls fell on the dark red carpet one by one, and the beautiful peony dark lines embroidered with gold threads flowed with glittering tears, which caused many powerful men in the banquet to be pitiful for a while.
Brilliant and dazzling, and extravagant and gorgeous gilt jade bricks shine on the brilliance of the whole palace, Concubine Li knelt on the cold and piercing white marble masonry, staring at Her Royal Highness's eyes were fierce and vicious, when Her Royal Highness the Queen slowly and slowly said the identity of the purple-clothed maid, she could clearly perceive the king's instantly dim eyes.
Obviously, this was a red flag for the king's suspicions.
Let's ask a princess who dares to scold the purple-clothed maid in public at the palace feast, and the one who scolds the purple-clothed maid who serves Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine's side, how can she not have a transgressive heart for Her Royal Highness in the future?
Treating His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine who is two levels higher is still so arrogant, let alone His Royal Highness the Queen, who is respected as the head of the concubines.
What caught the eyes of the Li Imperial Concubine was the layered skirt of the blue silk phoenix pattern palace skirt, the moon white peacock feather line mixed with three gold threads carefully embroidered phoenix vivid, lifelike, Li Huang Concubine stared at the royal highness of the queen standing in front of her, only felt that she was so humble and lowly at this moment, and embarrassed.
Her Royal Highness lowered her eyes and looked down at the concubine Li who was kneeling on the ground, only to see that this dazzling imperial concubine was obviously embarrassed and humble at this moment, she looked at the concubine quietly for a moment, and looked at the other party with a chill down her spine, then her lips opened slightly, and she softly pardoned the kneeling posture of the concubine: "Get up." ”
"The concubine thanked Her Royal Highness the Queen." After hearing this, Empress Li bowed her head respectfully and thanked her, and then stood up cautiously. The kneecap that had been kneeling for a long time felt a pinprick pain, and the crumbling body had to waste a lot of strength to barely maintain its elegant and decent demeanor, but the chill immersed in the texture still made Princess Li feel miserable.
I have to say that today's Imperial Concubine Li is showing a different kind of weak willow posture, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine in gorgeous clothes gently shook the peacock feather fan between her jade fingers, and the blushing feathers of the finches loomed with red lips: "It's really hypocritical." ”
She stared at the pale Imperial Concubine Li, and her words could not hide sarcasm.
Hearing such an undisguised sarcasm from Her Royal Highness, the family members of Imperial Concubine Li secretly clenched their fists, especially the beautiful woman with a beautiful face, who watched her little daughter, whom she had always pampered and indulged in, being so sarcastically humiliated by a lowly woman who was no more than a court dancer, that she felt the flames of anger almost burn through her chest.
High up, the gorgeously crowned king still didn't say anything when he heard this, let alone reprimanded the imperial concubine's inappropriate words, after all, Imperial Concubine Li's behavior had already violated his bottom line, disturbing all the guests at the palace banquet, not to mention, but also so arrogantly and domineeringly scolding the purple-clothed maid who served Her Royal Highness the imperial concubine.
Her Royal Highness the Queen stood on the gilded jade brick with a graceful manner, she lowered her eyes and carefully looked at the purple-clothed maid who covered her cheeks, only to see that although this waitress was quite cautious in her demeanor, but abandoning these, her various behaviors were like someone behind her to point out, otherwise she would never be able to do so without leakage.
It's just that she doesn't like to participate in the open and secret battles between the concubines in the palace, so she lets them frame each other and watch it as a joke. However, at the palace banquet, he openly scolded the purple-clothed maid, which really lost the royal prestige and demeanor, and insulted the status of Concubine Li's concubine.
During the banquet, the royal relatives and nobles, the ministers and nobles quietly watched the scene in front of them, and the palace feasts in previous years were also many rights and wrongs, and there were many twists and turns, but I didn't want to do it this year. The relatives of Imperial Concubine Li's family all felt a chill down their backs, and they looked at Imperial Concubine Li standing in the hall with their heads bowed in fear, only feeling that today's affairs could not be so good.
The king looked down at the crowd with grace and calmness, trepidation, or mockery, and lowered his starry eyes slightly to look at the amber wine in the carved marigold in his hand.
It was not so much a court feast as a feast with broken wings.
The powerful Imperial Concubine Li's family is becoming more and more arrogant, if they are allowed to prosper again, I am afraid that sooner or later they will not take the royal family in their eyes.
The tiger with its sharp claws is not the king's most important right-hand man......
There is a magnolia flower on the white and delicate ivory fan bone, and the jade concubine leans down slightly, half-covering and half-covering the hooked red lips, and the light brown pupils seem to be flowing with amber glass: "Yes, the concubine took a closer look, didn't this purple-clothed maid serve Her Royal Highness the imperial concubine?" Why was he suddenly slapped by Princess Li and bullied like this? ”
The shallow tone expounded the most unfavorable words for Concubine Li, and Concubine Yu Guifei liked to fan the flames and add fuel to the fire at this moment: she preferred to look down condescendingly at Concubine Li's angry and unwilling, but helplessly distorted expression.
No wonder Imperial Concubine Li has always liked to bully the weak, and this feeling of trampling the concubine under her feet and grinding and bullying back and forth is really as intoxicating as a glass of wine. It's just that Concubine Yu is not a cruel person, if it weren't for the fact that Imperial Concubine Li always bullies and satirizes her on weekdays, she wouldn't be so pressing.
The brilliant brilliance of the crystal lamp curtain was refracted in the Beique Zhu Palace, and the noblewomen and daughters sitting at the banquet swayed the golden hairpins and hairpins between the clouds and mist temples, and they all cast suspicious glances at the princess when they heard the words.
After all, the imperial concubine is a noble rank that can afford the honorific title of 'Your Royal Highness', and there is a jade concubine above the imperial concubine, and the jade concubine is still so gentle and graceful, why is the imperial concubine so arrogant?
He dared to openly beat the purple-clothed maid serving His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine at the palace banquet.
Thinking about this, everyone's eyes stayed on the purple-clothed maid, only to see the purple-clothed maid kneeling pitifully on the gilded jade brick, and a red, swollen and hideous slap print appeared on the left side of her delicate face, which forcibly destroyed this originally beautiful and elegant face, which made people feel pity when they saw it, and more anger and dissatisfaction with Princess Li.
Sensing the stares of the nobles and nobles, the daughters of the nobles and ladies cast a look at her, the purple-clothed maid was crying more and more pitiful, she covered her left cheek with her head slightly, and the red, swollen and hideous palm prints were revealed between her fingers.
Sure enough, in the next second during the banquet, they accused Princess Li of misbehaving and losing the royal prestige.
