Chapter 99: Dumb Riddle

Just like the one who shocked the academy at the beginning, the game between Lin Yunyin and Nangong He, but few people in the world know about it!

Similarly, the gossip about Zhenbei and Nangong He, although it caused a stir in the academy, everyone knew about it.

However, except for some people with ulterior motives, others are also completely unaware.

Zhen Bei's words are meant to be ironic, He Zhaoyuan is a courtier of Yongchuan, but he has an intelligence network that is stronger than that of the monarch, the so-called abnormality is a demon, and his intentions are extremely scary!

He Zhaoyuan understood what she meant, he lowered his eyes to cover the edge in his eyes, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, guess our Yongchuan, what is the birthday gift given to the Empress Dowager Nanyang this time?" ”

Zhen Bei smiled faintly and said, "The one who can let Lord He personally escort him must be a peerless treasure!" ”

He Zhaoyuan looked up at the sky and glanced at the sunset falling in the west, and suddenly sighed: "The sunset is approaching twilight, and the reason why it has been praised by the world is nothing more than being high up!" If it were the red mud of a swamp, how many people would be amazed? ”

Zhenbei looked at him quietly and did not answer.

Sima Duanli held an envelope in his hand and walked out of the chamber with a relieved look on his face.

"Lord He, the reply to the emperor has been written, please forward it on your behalf!"

He Zhaoyuan took it, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Sima Gongzi can rest assured that he will live up to his mission and personally hand it over to the emperor! ”

Sima Duanli thought of what the two of them said in the letter, pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's hard work!" ”

After discussing the meeting place for the next day's palace entry, Zhenbei and Sima Duanli said goodbye to He Zhaoyuan and returned to Hanmen Academy.

Zhenbei returned to her room, took out the letter in her arms, hesitated slightly, and tore open the seal of the letter.

The envelope used by Mo Li has been specially treated, and once it is opened, it can never be restored to its original state, and it is specially used to send top-secret messages!

To Zhenbei's surprise, there were only two drawings on the letterhead, with simple brushwork: the first was a man holding a stack of papers in his hand, as if he was about to turn around, and behind him was a table with only a horizontal pen on it; The second painting is painted with dotted lines, a series of footprints on the ground, and a person's back can be vaguely seen in the painting-

Zhen Bei frowned and looked at these two strange paintings, what did Mo Li want to express?

What is the hidden meaning of these two paintings, or is it just the whim of the young emperor who likes to mess around?

He used this expensive envelope, really just to play a prank?

Zhen Bei shook her head, although Mo Li's temperament has jumped out a bit, but he has been in the center of the power circle since he was a child, how can he be the person who can't tell the difference between the importance of jokes?

After dinner, Zhen Bei picked up the two paintings again, thought for a while, and lightly brushed the pen on the paperβ€”

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, her lips hooked and smiled slightly, it turned out that this was the case!

The next day, Zhen Bei and Sima Duanli took a carriage and came to the gate of Nanyang Palace.

Dozens of carriages had been parked here, and some nobles from all over the world who were waiting for their companions were gathering in groups of three or five to laugh and talk in low voices.

Zhenbei looked around and found that He Zhaoyuan had not yet arrived, so she made an appointment with the coachman to pick him up in the afternoon and asked him to drive away first.

As soon as the coachman turned over, two carriages came from front to back.

The carriage in front of it was decorated with splendid ribbons, with strings of silver bells hanging from the four corners, and the windows were carved from fragrant wood, and were brightly inlaid with several precious stones that shimmered with colorful brilliance.

The carriage in the back, made entirely of ebony, was very low-key.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the magnificent carriage.

I saw that the pink silver curtain moved slightly, and a pair of fair-skinned slender hands lifted the curtain, followed by a very pretty-looking girl, jumping down from the carriage.

She was slender, wearing a short robe made of colorful strips of cloth, brown trousers, and two large braids with colored ropes.

In full view of everyone, she took out a long pedal from under the car, stood respectfully on the side of the carriage, and said, "Princess, please get out of the carriage!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted again, and everyone felt that their eyes lit up, and a beautiful woman like a flower appeared in front of the carriage.

Her facial features are deep and exquisite, her hair is braided into countless thin braids inlaid with jade beads, her posture is graceful, and her white feather long skirt makes her look like a fairy, and her brilliance is dazzling.

Looking at the Nanyang Palace Gate in front of her, her eyes were slightly bent, she smiled, charming and a little bold, everyone was trembling, and they couldn't take their eyes off her anymore!

At this time, the owner of the second carriage, who also got out of the carriage, was a handsome young man, with facial features similar to those of the beauty, tall and mighty, and wearing a blue leather robe.

He strode up to the beautiful woman as if no one was around, and said with a smile: "Keya, why did you feel cowardly when you came here?" Don't be stunned here, let's go in and talk about it! ”

Princess Keya smiled slightly, two blushes appeared on her face, and she stomped her feet and said, "The third emperor brother is making fun of Keya again, who said I was cowardly!" ”

The sound is as melodious as a yellow warbler!

As if to show her determination, she took the lead and walked towards the palace gate.

This is one of the five great powers, the Turkic country, the famous Princess Keya!

Everyone sighed in their hearts, it is really a national color and fragrance, and the name is well deserved!

Zhen Bei silently watched the pair of brothers and sisters go away, thoughtfully.

Half an hour later, He Zhaoyuan finally came late.

"I'm sorry, there was a little accident on the road, and He was a step late!"

At this time, most of the distinguished guests from various countries had entered the palace, except for three or two people who got off the carriage in a hurry, only Zhenbei and three people were left outside the palace gate.

"The palace gate will be closed soon, let's go in first!" Zhenbei glanced at him angrily and said.

By the time the three of them arrived at the banquet palace, it was already full of guests.

After presenting the birthday gifts, the three of them sat down in the seats reserved for the Yongchuan VIPs.

The Empress Dowager Nanyang has already had white sideburns, a pair of old eyes that have been cloudy, still with a breathtaking majesty, she wears a crown of birds and phoenixes, and is dressed in a golden phoenix robe.

Its position was next to Emperor Nanyang, and when Zhen Bei first arrived, she peeked and saw her pursed lips slightly hooked, and she looked at the people under her seat with a smile.

However, it seemed that He Zhaoyuan's unique birthday speech won her heart, she laughed, and even the eyes that looked at Zhenbei and Sima Duanli softened.

After Zhen Bei sat down, Fang noticed that the gorgeous Princess Keya was sitting opposite her, and next to her sat her Third Emperor Brother.

She sat there quietly, her eyes down and she drank the fruit wine with a graceful expression, only occasionally sneaking to a spot.

Zhen Bei remembered the conversation between the two brothers and sisters in front of the palace gate, and suddenly it became clear that there must be someone on the scene, and she was fortunate to be favored by the beauty!

Curiosity arose for a moment, and she couldn't help but follow Keya's gaze and quietly looked, and saw several princes from the Nangong sitting there.

The third prince, Nangong Guan, sat next to the queen mother, he was talking to the imperial grandmother, and the other party smiled and nodded.

Below it sat the Sixth Prince Nangong Mo, the Ninth Prince Nangong He and the Tenth Prince Nangong Ke.

Coincidentally, Nangong Ke Zheng looked at her with a smile.

Zhenbei raised the wine cup and saluted him from afar, and the other party also raised a glass in return!

She put down the wine cup and couldn't help but secretly wonder, I don't know which one won the heart of the beauty!

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but look over again, her eyes wandered around the few of them, and involuntarily settled on Nangong He.

They hadn't seen each other for a while, he seemed to be thinner than before, Nangong Mo seemed to be talking to him about something, he stared at the wine cup with a rather indifferent expression, and didn't respond.

Nangong Ke was bored with himself, so he turned sideways and chatted with the others.

How can he, a cold and obedient character, be an emperor who controls his courtiers? Zhen Bei sighed secretly, and just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, she saw that Nangong He seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her.

Looking at each other, Zhen Bei only felt her heart beat wildly a few times, and hurriedly turned her head away.

"Why is the virtuous nephew looking at my wine cup?" He Zhaoyuan watched all this quietly, acting in horror, and said with both hands protecting the wine cup.

Zhen Bei looked at him in astonishment, slightly stunned, how could she forget that there was this person sitting next to her!

She smiled faintly and said, "I heard that Lord He suffers from heart disease, so it's better not to drink more of this kind of spirit!" ”

The smile on He Zhaoyuan's face remained unchanged, and he said, "What the virtuous nephew said is extremely true! ”

He turned his head, stood against the palace maid behind him, and said, "Sister Lao, come over for a cup of fruit wine!" ”

When the palace maid saw him looking at herself with a focused and gentle expression, she couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly responded with a "whoo", and did it happily.

Zhen Bei scolded secretly, and the fox who was discharging electricity everywhere turned his head, looked at the song and dance performance on the stage, and no longer bothered with him.

This palace is very tall and open, and there are several stages in the hall, the largest of which is dancing dozens of light-footed palace ladies!

Zhen Bei was staring at the stage boredly, when she heard the beauty opposite speak, and said, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Keya also has a congratulatory gift for the Queen Mother's birthday!" ”

Nanyang Emperor Nangong Yunting said with a smile: "I don't know what rare things the princess wants to offer?" ”

Princess Keya stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's not an object, it's a song and dance specially created by Keya for her mother's birthday, and please borrow it from your platform!" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said, "It's rare that you have such a heart!" Come and arrange according to the words of the VIP! ”

After a short time, the stage Gong E dispersed, and four women dressed in exotic costumes danced on the stage with a corner of Bai Juan, each holding a foot wide by the beat of the drum.

They surrounded the city, danced their steps, turned to the middle of the stage, like a hundred flowers blooming, scattered in all directions, and a smart figure appeared.

She held the ribbon in her hand, spinning and jumping, her posture was extremely soft, like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon, and the ribbon in her hand was also dancing on Bai Juan.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but stare at the fluttering fairy shadow, completely forgetting everything around them.

When Gu Le stopped, the figure also just landed, she bowed and said, "Keya, I wish the Queen Mother a long life!" ”

The four dancers put Bai Juan in front of the audience, and everyone was shocked when they saw this.
