"Shen side concubine Niangniang still has to be forgiving and forgiving, Mu Qiang is broken, you are so aggressive, you really lose the identity of the general's daughter, and even lose the dignity of the princess!"

Ming Shen turned her head to follow the prestige, only to see the talented woman of Jiang Da in Kyoto, who walked towards her lightly, wearing a brand-new smoky gauze skirt swaying lightly, covered with a Hunan concubine-colored plum blossom pattern gown, her hair combed with a smoke hibiscus bun, half of her jet-black hair hung down on her chest, and the golden silk eight treasures of the concubine were shining dazzling in the black hair, and her eyebrows and eyes were more and more delicate and picturesque, bright and beautiful!

She walked to Ming Shen, owed slightly, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were arrogant, and she said sarcastically with a pun: "Prince Duan has always been gentle and kind, but Concubine Shen is so aggressive and ruthless, which is simply contrary to the style of His Royal Highness Prince Duan, and he is not a husband and wife at all, is this considered a 'loss of women's morality'?"

Her hostility and hatred are too obvious, although others don't know the reason, but it is not difficult to see that this is targeted!

Ming Shen could see from her eyes that she must have recognized herself as the 'second son' who made things difficult for her that day, so she spoke coldly.

But strangely, why didn't she reveal her identity? Isn't that the best way to vent your anger?

Could it be that Wen Hao didn't let her say it, so she endured it aggrievedly, and then held a grudge against herself?

In fact, Ming Shen's guess was right, Jiang Yan really wanted to tell the princess that she was a daughter, but because of Wen Hao's order, she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to give up, but she remembered the humiliation that Ming Shen gave her that day.

So, she raised her chin slightly at Ming Shen, and snorted: "I really don't understand, how could Prince Duan bring your side room out to fill the façade, isn't there anyone in Prince Duan's mansion?"

Ming Shen saw her provocative ridicule in her eyes, but she was not annoyed, and only smiled lightly: "The affairs of our Duan Prince's Mansion are not yet the turn of a subordinate from a clothed slave to worry about it. ”

"You ......" Jiang Yan suddenly blushed, and was almost choked to death by Ming Shen's sentence 'a subordinate born in a clothed minion'!

At this moment, it happened that Li Yu, the head of the inner house, said loudly, "The emperor has arrived", which completely interrupted the fighting dispute between Jiang Yan and Ming Shen, and everyone was prostrate on the ground, shouting long live my emperor, long live my emperor!

I saw Emperor Xuande, supported by Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui, wearing a satin robe with golden and red cloud and gold dragon pattern makeup, playing with a string of sandalwood prayer beads, leading all the princes and ministers, and walked to everyone in a mighty way.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground, and asked in a loud voice, "Where is the second son of the Nalan family?" ”

Nalan Mufeng hurriedly bowed forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the dog Ronghua is unable to enter the palace today because of the occasional cold, and I hope that my emperor will forgive my sins!" ”

"Oh, in that case, then everyone get up, today is a family banquet, don't be too restrained!" Emperor Xuande smiled slightly, but his tone was obviously inferior to Fang Cai, and he couldn't see the character of his prospective son-in-law with his own eyes, and the old man would be a little disappointed in his heart.

However, although the emperor himself said that there was no need to be restrained, everyone was still extremely cautious, the rules were not chaotic, and they followed the holy car into the Changyin Pavilion in an orderly manner, which suddenly made the originally brightly lit pavilion become lively.

On the main seat, there is Emperor Xuande with a red face, and the concubine and concubine Hui are on the side, and those gorgeously dressed high-ranking officials and dignitaries are sitting in turn on the seats on the left, and the women and dependents of the high-ranking women with clouds and high plates have chosen to sit on the right side of the banquet, laughing and chatting with the people next to themselves.

“…… Ye fell into the empty palace, and suddenly heard the song strings, and it changed strangely. It's really upside down, it's really a ghostly grievance. I'm Emperor Tianbao! On the golden luan, when will the hundred officials worship and dance! ......" The sound of the sheng flute and drum music, babbling, endlessly, the whole "Palace of Eternal Life" in the melodious sound of silk and bamboo on the stage, the gong is staged, the royal wine and fruits, the palace delicacies are served by the palace one by one, up and down the palace, all celebrate Longen, it is really a screen to open the phoenix, the mattress is set up hibiscus, and a lively song and dance is leveled.

Wen Xuan, headed by Zuo Xi, wore a crimson royal robe with a red Pingyun Pan dragon pattern today, holding a gilt wine bottle, sleek and sophisticated and the noble ministers next to him pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and smiled faintly, making him more and more humble and gentlemanly, gentle as jade, handsome and elegant, and unrestrained.

And Wen Hao's expression, at the moment seems a little sluggish, in the background of this prosperous splendor, more and more lonely and lonely, the apricot-yellow satin eight dragons won the Zhuhai Shuijiang Cliff court clothes, representing the supreme dignity of the prince, the sturdy waist is tied with a red gold inlaid gem belt, more highlighting his slender figure, wearing a dragon purple gold crown, under the shadow of the glass light candle, flashing gorgeous and cold light, just like him, luxurious as the scorching sun and white night, cold as the lone pine on the top of the mountain.

His scorching gaze swept over the beautiful ladies and daughters in the banquet opposite, and finally his gaze fell on the slender figure that he was searching for, and his originally dark and quiet eyes instantly crossed the light of a flying fire meteor.

Ming Shen just happened to raise his head inadvertently, his eyes collided with his blazing line of sight suddenly, and suddenly seemed to be burned by coals, and he hurriedly turned his face away to dodge, and after a while, he couldn't help but pick up the corners of his eyes, and secretly glanced at his side a few times, only to feel that in an instant, his emotions were flustered, and his heartbeat was like a drum, "pounding" straight up.

Wen Hao quietly looked at her shy demeanor into her eyes, she hadn't seen her for a few months, she seemed to be more charming and lovely than before, two lustrous pearl tassels fell obliquely on the side of the bun, which made her makeup more and more beautiful and exquisite, her complexion was fluorescent and white, fading away the young and immature of a girl, and vaguely having the charming style of a new wife.

This kind of style is radiated from the inside out, when she occasionally raises her face and smiles lightly, or when she is lowering her eyebrows and talking to others, it is always inadvertently revealed from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

When Ming Shen talked to people and greeted her, she always felt that there was a hot gaze on her, this embarrassing and uncomfortable feeling lasted for a long, long time, until the end of the birthday celebration, Wen Hao retracted his gaze, and Ming Shen also breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly stabilized his mood.

At this moment, Emperor Xuande, who was wearing a ruby red satin embroidered silk pattern auspicious dress and a little emerald inlaid beads and five phoenixes on her head, smiled and bent her charming eyes and proposed: "Princess Rui has composed a new qin song, I have to play it at your birthday banquet, do you want to appreciate it?" ”

"Since it's my daughter-in-law's intention, how can I live up to it?" Emperor Xuande squinted and smiled, and instructed Li Yu, who was waiting beside him: "Order someone to go to the treasury to get the Han Dynasty's "Luqi" guqin and play it for Princess Rui!" ”

"Slaves obey!" Li Yu bowed in response, and then slightly raised the dust, raised his voice to convey the will of the saint, and then said to Mingwan who came forward with a smile on his face: "Princess Rui is really blessed, this "Luqi" is one of the ten famous treasures collected by the emperor, and it is a famous piano played by the famous literati Sima Xiangru in the Han Dynasty. ”

"Thank you father and emperor for your love, and the daughter-in-law will play it carefully, and dare not live up to this famous piano." Ming Wan bowed down with a smile, and then came to the piano stand to sit elegantly, only to see her jade fingers lightly pick and squeeze slowly, the extraordinary rhythm of the piano sounded in vain in the hall, and with a tactful and agile singing voice, she recited a few clichés praising the great achievements of the emperor, and easily won a full applause.

At the end of the song, she walked to the front of the palace dignified and generous, bowed down and said: "The daughter-in-law is ugly!" ”

"Very good, the sound of the piano is extraordinary, the lyrics are gorgeous and tactful, I like it very much, so I will reward you with this "green qi"! Emperor Xuande said with a smile, it can be seen that he is very satisfied with the set of lyrics and songs that he just praised him, so he stroked the fair-skinned slender hand of the concubine and praised: "The concubine has arranged it well." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment!" Concubine Xian smiled charmingly, and said: "The third lady of the Nangong family is also prepared today, she wants to dance Hu Xuan dance for the emperor, why don't you take a look!" ”

"Okay, play music!" Emperor Xuande was in high spirits, of course, she also knew the careful thinking of Concubine Xian, in fact, she thought of one thing with herself at the moment, and she was very anxious, wanting to choose a few lovely beauties for Hao'er.

The entire Dajin Dynasty knows that Hao'er is his favorite son, there is only one concubine by his side, and two girls are waiting for him, what is going on?

Therefore, Emperor Xuande and Concubine Xian were in a hurry to choose the side room and concubine room for Wen Hao, hoping to select a few women who were outstanding and had excellent net worth and character to marry into Prince Rui's mansion, so that they could not only help their son in terms of political performance, but also spread out for their son and extend their heirs, so that Emperor Xuande could pass on the throne to this son more assured.

Under the eyes of him and Xian Guifei, when he was carefully selected among the famous ladies in the hall, Nangong Xue had already changed into a Persian dance dress with golden light, and danced Hu Xuan as gorgeous and lively as the goddess of Dunhuang, only to see her stepping on a cheerful exotic tune, turning her toes hard, the whole person rotated leisurely, the golden skirt turned into a beautiful circle, and her half-naked arms made dexterous and seductive gestures, her enchanting state was like a charming and seductive wild goblin!

Especially her pair of watery and charming apricot eyes, when dancing, she kept throwing provocative autumn waves at Wen Hao, and Ming Shen's heart was sour, which was extremely not a taste.

So, she was very unhappy to pick up the wine cup, raised her head and drank the spicy wine in one gulp, although it was a high-grade wine that had been warmed several times, but if she drank it too quickly, she would still cut her throat like a knife!

Wen Hao glanced at Ming Shen, and saw that she looked like a jealous expression of her daughter's family, and suddenly the smile spread from the cold corners of her eyes and eyebrows to her face unscrupulously, and the touch of interest and joy hooked by her thin lips had nowhere to hide, so that all the people misunderstood that he was interested in Nangong Xue, and even Nangong Xue herself misunderstood that he had taken a fancy to him in the dazzling smile that suddenly unfolded.

At the end of the dance, her heart was infinitely sweet, and she prostrated in front of the palace with happy eyebrows, red cheeks, and gasped slightly: "Courtier....... The courtiers are ugly! ”

"Get up, good jump!" Emperor Xuande said lightly and waved her hand to retreat, such an expression and tone were obviously not very kind to her.

Because Emperor Xuande felt that this woman was too charming, especially the apricot eyes, which were even more frivolous, even if his son seemed to like her, but he would definitely not give such a superficial woman to Hao'er, whom he was most proud of.

Seeing that Nangong Xue did not get Emperor Xuande's favor, Concubine Xian glared at her fiercely as if reproachful, and then rolled her lips, and said: "Since the emperor doesn't like to watch Hu Xuanwu, you might as well see what our first talented girl in Kyoto has prepared, right?" When she was preparing, she was mysterious, and even the concubines didn't know what surprise she wanted to give the emperor? ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Xuande heard this, his face really flashed with a trace of curiosity, and he glanced at Jiang Yan in the corner and said, "What kind of surprise has Miss Jiang prepared, I am also very curious to know." ”

Jiang Yan listened, and hurriedly stepped forward with the picture scroll in her hand, her beautiful and unparalleled face was dignified and decent, and she was well-mannered and thoughtful in her actions, but she did not lose the quiet and feminine beauty that a woman should have. "Back to the emperor, the courtiers painted a painting of "Peng Zu Plays Ghosts", wishing my emperor a long life, longevity and heaven."

Li Yu walked down with a very good look, took the scroll, and unfolded it and handed it to Emperor Xuande to look at, Emperor Xuande looked at it, praised the painting critically, and rewarded Jiang Yan heavily.

The daughters of those ladies are all human spirits, and it is naturally not difficult to hear the sound outside the strings, and they all envy this gorgeous and talented woman who is famous in Kyoto.

Concubine Xian saw that she had coaxed Emperor Xuande to great joy, so she had a bad heart, raised her small white chin and glanced at Concubine Hui, and turned her head to Emperor Xuande and said in a greasy voice: "The concubine heard that Princess Duan was born in a scholarly family and is quite literate, why don't you let her paint a picture on the spot, how about adding longevity to the emperor?" ”

When Concubine Hui, who was left out in the cold, heard this, she hurriedly got up and faced Emperor Xuande to the end, her face gradually embarrassed and stiffened: "Back to the emperor, Princess Duan is sick, and it is not appropriate to face the saint." ”

Emperor Xuande looked impatient, and was just about to wave her hand to retreat, but the concubine next to her smiled again: "Then let the side concubine Bai come to dance a song to cheer up the emperor, a few years ago in the draft, a white phoenix's 'Fenghua Nine Days' glamorous crowd, I don't know how many years have passed, her demeanor is still the same?" ”

She had already heard the news that Bai Fengxi was sick in bed, so she said so, because she was reluctant to let go of any opportunity to humiliate Concubine Hui, who called herself to be humiliated and tortured by her everywhere when she first entered the palace?

"It's been a long time since I've seen the white phoenix dance, and after Concubine Ai mentioned it, I suddenly wanted to see if the white phoenix back then was still as beautiful as ever." Emperor Xuande squinted his eyes and sneered, in fact, how could he not know that Xian Guifei's little belly and chicken intestines, but he saw that she looked similar to Shen Rou and had been pampered for many years, and he himself was disgusted with the vicious old woman Hui, so he often pretended to be confused, and even occasionally encouraged Xian Guifei to find trouble with Concubine Hui and embarrassed Concubine Hui.

Although Concubine Hui was accustomed to the deliberate difficulties of the emperor's favorite concubine, she was still terrified in her heart, afraid that because she did not have a sacred heart, she would affect her son, so she lowered her frowning eyebrows, and said with tears: "Back to the emperor, the side concubine Bai, infected with typhoid fever, at the moment people are still bedridden in the house, I'm afraid it's ........ I can't cheer up the emperor's singing and dancing! ”

"Sounds like Prince Duan's Mansion hasn't been very peaceful lately?" Emperor Xuande snorted disdainfully, too lazy to look at her, only glared at Wen Xuan and reproached: "The Book of Rites and the University has clouds, knowing the first and then the sincerity, the sincerity and then the heart, the heart is right and then the body is cultivated, the body is cultivated and then the family is Qi, the family is Qi and then the country is governed, and the country is governed and then the world is peaceful." Prince Duan, you can't even do a good job of cultivating your family now, let alone ruling the country and leveling the world, you are still an elder brother, not as good as your fourth brother at all, you see in his Prince Rui's mansion, when did it happen that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and the concubine was dominant? ”

When Wen Xuan heard this, he immediately attended, picked up the crimson clothes and knelt on the ground, his throat was like being choked with coarse chaff, the cold light in his peach blossom eyes flowed, but the voice that came out was a different kind of humility: "Erchen is naturally dull and incompetent, his cultivation is not enough, he has no way to govern his family, and he also asks his father to forgive his sins!" ”

Emperor Xuande looked down at him condescendingly, and said in a cold voice: "Since you have self-knowledge, then reform yourself, and in the future, you can help your fourth brother and revitalize my Dajin Heshan!" ”

"Sons obey the holy commandment!" Wen Xuan leaned over and kowtowed, his steel teeth clenched, but his voice was still gentle and submissive.

Seeing this, Ming Shen felt very sad for Wenxuan and Concubine Hui, as the saying goes, the Buddha earns a stick of incense, and people fight for a breath, so she stood up without hesitation in order to save her husband's face.

She moved lightly to Wen Xuan's side, knelt down softly, bowed respectfully to Emperor Xuande, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and then said softly: "Duanwang's side concubine Nalan knocked to see her father, and today's daughter-in-law also prepared a song and dance, wanting to celebrate her father's birthday, if my father doesn't dislike the stupidity of his daughter-in-law, I implore my father to give my daughter-in-law a chance to be filial!" ”
