014 Mid-Autumn Banquet, Love and Jealousy
Okay^if&book*bar, this is the first time Ming Shen has seen the appearance of Lan Cairen with his own eyes. At that time, the mood was like a basin of cold water pouring down. It chilled her from head to toe!
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. This Lan Cai is really a fairy-like character. Not comparable to the laity. It dwarfs her a little. It also gave her a strong sense of crisis.
Now. Ming Shen was finally able to understand the Kim family back then. Why was it so hostile to her? This kind of gratuitous hostility turns out to be something that everyone has. The root of this is jealousy in a woman's heart.
She's also a woman. Seeing someone younger than yourself. A woman who is more beautiful than herself sits with the man she loves. It's hard to put on the mentality of beauty and cherishing beauty again. Only a cluster of jealousy burned inexplicably in my heart. Burning hearts and bones.
The moon charm sat in the banquet in a rose-red Shu brocade and hundred flowers dress. With a depressed expression, he drank his glass. From time to time, Apricot eyes glared at Lan Cairen who was sitting on the upper seat. In the end, his eyes fell on Ming Shen. Seeing her with a lost face. couldn't help but laugh teasingly: "The emperor is really gracious to Lan Cairen now. Summoned her to bed night and night, and did not say anything. In front of people, he was even more bent on lifting her up. Keep going with this momentum. I'm afraid it's almost time to catch up with the special room of the emperor when the noble man just followed the emperor."
"Lancai is a rare and beautiful woman. It is reasonable for the emperor to favor her. But I often hear people say. The eyebrows and eyes of the Lancai people are very similar to those of the Shen nobles. Compare today. I think it's Lancai who is better. The eyes are a little more gentle and lovely than those of Shen Guiren. It's no wonder that the emperor spoils her a little more now." Jiang Yan gloated. A crimson Ruyi pattern thin silk cotton dress on the body. Hair in a fluffy bun. Walk gently and gently. In the flickering candlelight. But there is a different kind of glamorous style.
"What kind of thing is Shen Guiren? It's just a personal cousin. It's just a matter of seducing the king with his own appearance." Xi Linyan gritted her teeth and said. After the destruction of the Xilin clan. She didn't have much hope. Now he is alive. One is for his own child Wu Sheng. The second is that I want to watch the Nalan family climb high and fall with my own eyes.
Sitting next to her. It was Su Yuluo, who had just been named a beauty. Wearing a tulle robe sprinkled with cinnabar in silver gray. A handful of amethyst butterfly hairpins were inserted in the hair. The one-inch-long Ziying pendant hung straight to the shoulder. It makes her face plump and fair. With the talk. The expression is charming.
"What Sister Yan said is extremely true. It's a pity that she is getting old now. It's just yesterday's yellow flower. But our Lancai people are very different. Although it is a concubine. But it's the daughter of a scholarly family. Before entering the palace, he was clean and innocent."
"And in its prime. And the personality is gentle. Not only does the emperor like her. Even the queen lady is waiting to see her. The future will surely be endlessly blessed. How can those broken flowers and willows be compared?"
The one who answered the call was Princess Zhen Yu'er, the youngest daughter of King Nan'an. Wearing a foreign neon skirt with a bright gold and red. Glamorous like a parrot. A pair of eyes as green as cold and emerald. There are slight ripples of Ling Han. While talking. Gesturing with your hands on one side. A few large twisted gold bracelets on the wrist. There was a clanging sound.
Listen to the cynicism of a group of them. Ming Shen picked up the butterfly cup and smiled faintly. That smile. Like plum wine in a cup. Light and cool. But there is a strange sadness flowing faintly on the lips.
She turned her face to the left and looked to the left. There were several servants sitting at the side of the banquet. All of them were high-ranking figures in the dynasty. Among them naturally include Murong Fan and Jiang Feng. I don't know if it's deliberately arranged. Or a coincidence. Ming Shen didn't find his eldest brother Ronglu. But I accidentally saw Bai Pengfei.
He looked much haggard. The belt is gradually widened. The jade-colored brocade robe was loosely draped over him. Foil stamping pattern on shoulders and collar edge. It makes him even more emaciated. The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are flushed with peach-colored carmine. But he still refused to put down the wine bottle in his hand. Immerse yourself in a glass of wine. I forgot what night it was.
Ming Shen's eyes were hot. There was a soft sourness in my heart. In the past, he was both civil and military. Follow Emperor Xuanwen's fresh clothes and angry horses. What a spirit. Now it's gone. Like a jewel hidden in a solid stone. A little more forbearance and maturity. But it's also very depressed.
"Prudent nobleman. Why do you keep watching Bai Shaoqing shed tears?" Mingwan's voice was not loud. But its majesty was enough to make the whole lively scene suddenly quiet. Everyone looked at the queen in unison. I saw Shen Guiren sitting at the very end. There are indeed tears in my eyes.
Wen Hao also raised his eyes sharply and looked at Ming Shen. She looks delicate under the lights. It can be seen that it is carefully dressed. But he still can't hide the pale sickness on his face. Like a fragile piece of white jade. aroused the deepest feelings of pity in his heart.
But I saw a little tear in the corner of her eye. Listen to what the queen just said. Suddenly, a heavy evil aura appeared between the eyebrows. Coldly asked, "Bold Nalan Clan. I said I didn't want to see you. Who allowed you to be here?"
"The concubine is guilty." Ming Shen hurriedly got up. Prostrate in front of the emperor. Raise your head and want to say something. But he faced the fierce flames that were surging in Wen Hao's eyes. It was a fire of jealousy born of painful love and monstrous hatred. She swallowed back what she wanted to say.
That's when the . Queen Wan suddenly held her bulging belly. Clumsily knelt down. Mu Lu said sadly: "The emperor is angry. It's all the concubine's fault. You shouldn't have agreed to the request of the noble man. Just because of the prudence of the noble people some time ago. has been begging the concubine to allow her to come to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tonight. The concubine took pity on her for a long time. It's also strange to see the pitiful. Ben granted her request. If the emperor wants to blame. Blame the concubines. Or don't be too harsh and cautious. I think she is also 'thoughtful', so she will come to see her at the risk of being blamed."
Ming Shen sneered in the bottom of his heart. An old saying comes to mind. It's a sister-in-law. Only then did he choose his sister to step on. Dare to love her this time kindly invite her to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration. It's just a feast. intends to completely separate the emperor and her feelings.
It's really ingenious. Keep pleading for her. In fact, she is alluding to the fact that she is here to see Bai Pengfei.
And he also wants Wen Hao to punish her. It's just a joke of the first day of the day. Not to mention that she is now the mother of the country. Childbirth is imminent. It's just to change to usual. Face-to-face training. Behind the wife training. It is absolutely impossible for Wen Hao to punish her in front of all the concubines and ministers. And she plays a wide and subdued face at the moment. Whoever sees it has to praise the virtuous. It's earned all the face.
After listening to the queen's words. Wen Hao's originally angry face gradually turned into a gloomy color. Looking at the emperor's unfathomable expression. The crowd was so frightened that they didn't dare to get angry. And at this moment of atmospheric oppression. The Lancai man got up and walked over.
She first glanced at Wen Hao with disgust. and very diligently supporting the queen. Then he said in a soft and sweet voice: "It is not a big mistake for a prudent nobleman to think about your affection. The queen is sympathetic to the concubines. It is also a great virtue. Such a festive season. Don't lose your temper. The way you look angry. The concubine looked so scared."
Her voice was like a thin cloud cake. And it's still melt-in-your-mouth. It's pleasant to listen to. But Ming Shen didn't appreciate her affection. She thought. There is no woman in the world. will intercede for himself in front of his beloved man because of his rival in love. And because of this, I am grateful to that rival. Anyway, she would never be able to be so generous.
Wen Hao glanced down at Ming Shen's expression. Seeing her eyes full of jealousy and disdain. Suddenly, a wicked sneer suddenly rose on his lips. took Lan Cairen into his arms. Ambiguous and doting, he said: "Since Lan'er has opened her mouth to intercede for the Nalan clan. I'll give you this face. Don't dispose of her anymore. Lan'er is happy."
Lan'er is very happy. can be so favored and cherished by the emperor. Lan'er really doesn't know if it's a good blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes." Lan Cairen obediently snuggled into Wen Haowei'an's arms. Like a canary that depends on people. The raven bun hangs low. The fair, pointy face is nearly translucent. Faint flush. Layer upon layer of soft waxy spilling up.
Ming Shen didn't understand why Wen Hao would be in front of her. Say something like that. Do something like this. Suddenly, my heart twitched and I was sad. Accompanied by his side for only half a year. The good old days and the love of the past have become so vulnerable.
In the end, there was no love between them. Even she was confused at the moment. Or the love of men and women in the world. It's like a splash of flowers. It's just a charm for the eyes.
"Congratulations to the emperor for getting a beautiful woman again."
"'Famous flowers love each other. The king looked at it with a smile.'Lan Cai people really looked at the city. In Gu Tingguo. And people are beautiful and kind. No wonder the emperor likes it so much."
"yes. Oh, yes. Weichen also heard that Lan Cairen came from a scholarly family. Not only is the temperament as beautiful as an orchid. Talent is even more than fairy.' If it weren't for the jade mountains. This poem is used to describe talented people. It couldn't be more appropriate."
.....
Wen Hao listened to the flattering words. Haha laughed. I don't know if it's because of the good mood. I drank a lot of wine and drank a lot of wine. Teasing the Lancai people in his arms. Talking about small and ambiguous meat words. made her shy.
Queen Wan was not jealous at all when she saw this. On the contrary, I am very happy to see it. Anyway, no one the emperor likes will like her. So instead of letting Ming Shen stand out. It's better to let the whole harem bloom. She will continue to collect all kinds of beauties for the emperor who can be used by her. The concubines of the harem. No one wants to be on top of the list.
But Ming Shen is very uncomfortable at the moment. Kneel here like a lowly ant. Watching a beloved man fall in love with another woman. From time to time came a few words of boasting and flattering to them. Make her presence. Even more embarrassing. That's what it says to her. It's a kind of soft whipping. Punishment in disguise.
Since he is so ruthless. Then why do you bother to be infatuated?
How did she forget. The love between the two has long since been extinguished. Righteousness is broken.
Since there is no mercy at all. Then you really don't need to kneel here. Continue to bear the humiliation of this heart-wrenching cone.
So Ming stood up cautiously. Tingting's blessing was lowered. He said coldly: "Your Majesty. The concubine was unwell. I want to retire first. I hope you get it."
Wen Hao doesn't look at Ming Shen. Only bow your head to the beauty in your arms. Gently explained: "Lan'er's body is delicate Ruolan. In late autumn, you can take care of it. Don't hurt the cold."
"Thank you for your kindness. You eat a fruit to relieve the bar. Getting drunk hurts you." Lan Cairen's slender fingers peeled a white lychee. Affectionate into Wen Hao's mouth. The corner of his eye swept a glance at Ming Shen. The smile is getting bigger and bigger.
Wen Hao also laughed. Ate the delicious lychee. Kissed her rosy cheek and said, "Lan'er is really considerate. I love it."
Between the two of them, you and me. As if ignoring the fact that there was a man standing in front of him. Ming stood there cautiously. I just felt that my chest was burning like a mouth could breathe fire.
Neither is it to go. Neither is it to stay. So you can't get off the stage. It's really embarrassing.
After a while. Instead, the queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Confused things. Don't stand here as an eyesore. Don't go back to Zhaoyang Hall and think about the past." That's what allowed her to get out. Gray and departed.
