285 Vitality (XVIII)
The emperor felt impatient when he looked at him at this moment, and the attendants on the side saw that Long Yan was displeased, and his movements were extremely fast, so he quickly covered Mu Jinwei's mouth and rudely dragged the person down.
After a while, the surroundings of the pavilion returned to calm, the spring breeze was slow, the fragrance of flowers was bursting, and it was quiet and leisurely.
The emperor turned the jade wrench on his thumb again, and said to the palace attendants around him: "No one is allowed to mention today's affairs!" ”
If the news of Ni Yaying being "collided" by Mu Jinwei spreads, after all, it will ruin the reputation of women, and I am afraid that it will be criticized by the world long ago.
"Yes, Your Majesty." A group of palace maids hurriedly responded.
"Ni, stand down." The emperor waved his hand and sent Ni Yaying away.
Ni Yaying looked hesitant, and wanted to say something more, but found that the cuffs were tight, and Duanmufei beside her quietly pulled her cuffs.
Ni Yaying had a flash of inspiration and thoughtfulness.
She had just made it so clear to the emperor, indicating that she was pregnant with the blood of the Liang family, but the emperor did not order her to be sent to the prison, which meant that the emperor tolerated the child...... This is an opportunity, perhaps the emperor is already reconsidering the case of the Liang family.
Ni Yaying's eyes faintly lit a spark of hope.
She got married in October last year, and her husband's family suffered a sudden change in a short period of time. She was willing to live and die with her husband, but she found out that she was pregnant. In order to keep this bloodline, her mother-in-law begged her to leave.
So, she and Lida returned, but recently the child gradually became pregnant, and she couldn't hide it after all. The father and mother asked her to quietly kill the child and choose another family for her......
She pretended to agree, and thought about finding an opportunity to escape and give birth to the child alone.
Unexpectedly, things could turn around!
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ni Yaying solemnly kowtowed to the emperor to thank him.
After that, a chamberlain thoughtfully put a cyan cloak on Ni Yaying, and then sent her away.
As for Duanmu Fei and Jun Lingxi, they accompanied the emperor to the Ninghui Palace.
When they arrived at the Ninghui Palace, it was almost time, and the queen led everyone to wait in the open space in front of the hall and respectfully saluted the emperor.
After that, everyone surrounded the emperor and queen into the palace, and according to their status, they entered the table one by one.
After a while, the Ninghui Hall was full, crowded with people, and the laughter and laughter of those ladies and sons and girls came and went.
With the sound of music, the palace banquet began, and the palace maid in a dress of emerald clothes walked lightly with all kinds of wines, dishes, melons and fruits, and trained to serve wine and food to the guests.
Then, a group of palace maids flung their water sleeves into the hall, dancing to the rhythm of the music, and a song and dance were leveled.
The guests at the banquet talked and laughed in twos and threes, drank wine and ate food, and soon the hall was filled with a faint aroma of wine, the wine was hot, and the guests were full of energy.
Duanmufei noticed that Anping was also coming, so he went over with Duanmujun to ask Anping for peace.
An Ping played with the wine glass in his hand with great interest, and when he saw the two sisters, a warm smile appeared on his bright face, and he took their hands and said for a while.
"Ah Jun, Fei'er, you two haven't gone to play in the palace for a long time, so let's just take Feipian to the house to see his father in two days."
"By the way, this palace has recently got a good piano, Scarlet Er, you are an expert, come to try the piano for this palace."
Anping smiled and planned to help his son "trick" Duanmufei into going to the princess's mansion as a guest, Duanmufei responded without saying a word, his eyes subconsciously wandered around Anping, and said in his heart: Didn't Feng Yan come with Anping?
Anping laughed with the sisters and quickly sent them back.
This was just a small episode at the banquet, and it didn't attract too many people's attention at all, and everyone was either dancing, toasting, or chatting, or saying some flattering compliments to the emperor and queen above.
The atmosphere in the hall is becoming more and more lively, and the song "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song" makes everyone immersed in the world of dance music, and they haven't come back to their senses for a long time, but the emperor seems to have been absent-minded, or thoughtful, looking at Mu Jinfan below from time to time.
After three rounds of drinking, a young chamberlain in Tsing Yi quietly walked to the emperor's side, and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Lord Cen is asking to see you outside." ”
The emperor squinted, his eyes flashed, and he knew that since Cen Yin had not come directly to the hall to see him, he thought that he had something to report privately.
The emperor drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and left the main hall by changing his clothes.
"Your Majesty, please come here." The little chamberlain in Tsing Yi respectfully led the emperor all the way to the west.
The curtain of the door was raised and lowered, and the sound of everyone's words and music was separated from the curtain of the door, as if it was coming from near and far, but it was particularly quiet in the west, as if it was another world.
In the room, two people stood side by side, a young man in a red robe and a young man in a purple robe, with very different temperaments, one feminine and the other bright.
The two immediately greeted the emperor and saluted the emperor in unison, one making a gesture and the other clasping his fists:
"Your Majesty."
"Uncle Emperor."
The emperor's gaze paused on Feng Yan, but he didn't expect Feng Yan to be there, the emperor sat down with his robe by the window, and asked casually, "Why did you come so late?" ”
Cen Yin reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the mouths of the several Nanhuai spies arrested before have been pried open. ”
Cen Yin was still calm and relaxed, and his feminine voice came slowly, which was pleasing and convincing, "They bought some scoundrels and beggars in Beijing, spread rumors about the Liang family, and stirred up public anger on fire, intending to instigate the imperial court to punish the nine clans of the Liang family, causing turmoil in the court...... The minister asked the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to do a favor, but it hurt Feng Gongzi to come late. ”
The emperor sitting by the window had a pale face, his eyes couldn't hide the look of anger, his chest rose and fell violently, and he said in his heart: Sure enough!
My guess is really right, these Nanhuai people really have ill intentions, I am afraid that they intend to pry the Dasheng country!
The emperor's eyebrows tightened, and his eyes became more and more turbulent and deeper like the sea on that stormy night.
"Ah Yin, you continue to check down and see who else is involved in this line, and I can find out clearly!" The emperor ordered coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cen Yin bowed down to the leader's order.
Emperor Huo Di stood up, dusted off his robe, and then strode out of the west room and returned to the banquet in the main hall.
Feng Yan and Cen Yin were two steps behind, Feng Yan casually raised his hand and made a "please" gesture to Cen Yin, and when Cen Yin left the house, he followed slowly.
In the main hall, after the song was finished, those palace maids shook their water sleeves like flowing water, and retreated in an orderly manner, and the huge hall suddenly emptied a lot.
As soon as Feng Yan entered the hall, he eagerly glanced around the hall for half a circle, and soon saw a petite pink figure beside Han Xing, Duanmu Fei was biting a piece of hot millet cake, his cheeks bulging, and he looked like a little hamster.
She seemed so focused, as if she were doing something extremely important, with a satisfied smile on her delicate little face.
Just looking at her like this, Feng Yan felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring, indescribably comfortable and enjoyable, as if the troubles of the world had become worthless in her smile and smile.
His Zhenzhen is so cute!
Feng Yan looked at Duanmu Fei with burning eyes, and his eyes became stupid when he was not careful.
And, smart!
Feng Yan narrowed his phoenix eyes, his eyes shining.
Ni Yaying's matter was an unexpected surprise for Feng Yan...... Now, he can save a lot of effort on his side.
Thinking about it, Feng Yan hooked the corners of his lips and thought complacently: Hmm, how can he "thank" Zhen Zhen?! The Western pocket watch he gave before, Zhen Zhen seems to like it very much, why don't he find a Western gadget for her again?
Feng Yan's phoenix eyes flashed with a light that was even brighter than a meteor, as if he was expecting something.
Duanmu Fei vaguely felt a scrambling gaze, reflexively raised his eyes and looked over, and looked at Feng Yan's smiling phoenix eyes, intuitively showing a flattering smile, and said in his heart: Feng Yan is really late today!
She sat there upright, her smile well-behaved and bright, as bright as a spring day, as if all around her was brighter with her smile.
Feng Yan also smiled, the corners of his lips curled higher, and the joy irrepressibly rose from the bottom of his heart little by little, and then overflowed, spreading to all his limbs......
After Feng Yan stopped in place for three breaths, he continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, and after greeting An Ping, he sat down next to Jun Ran and Li Tingyou, and joined their conversation with laughter.
In this huge hall, it is like the vast sea when the wind and the sun are beautiful, and it seems to be calm, with occasional waves crashing against the reef, occasionally some waves stirred up by sea fish and seabirds, and some dark tides lurking under the calm sea......
An hour later, the palace banquet ended without a ripple, and everyone sent the emperor and queen away.
A quiet day ushered in a thunderclap in the evening, and the emperor issued a decree without warning, and the Liang family, who was originally scheduled to be executed on the 15th, was suspended and continued to be held in the prison.
Some of the close ministers beside the emperor immediately learned the news, and they were all caught off guard by this sudden will, and many people secretly inquired into each other, and there were many private discussions, and people's hearts fluctuated.
When night fell, the stars and the moon looked down on the earth in the night sky, and in the lotus wind garden in the northeast corner of Hanfang Garden, an uninvited guest was quietly ushered in.
The Lotus Garden is like a place out of town, quiet and relaxed, with countless flowers and trees gently swaying in the night breeze.
"Feng Gongzi." Mu Jinfan, who was dressed in a moon-white straight coat, looked at Feng Yan with a long look, his posture was as standard as if he was measured with a ruler, and the atmosphere condensed slightly with his movements.
Mu Jinfan didn't say much, but both of them knew what Mu Jinfan was here for.
Feng Yan, who was sitting on a circle chair by the window, made a gesture casually and motioned for Mu Jinfan to sit down.
There was a sheep's horn palace lamp lit in the room, and the bright brilliance of the palace lamp sprinkled on the faces of the two, obviously orange light, but it did not make people feel warm, but with an inexplicable coldness.
Feng Yan picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup on the square table and took a sip of hot tea, and said lightly: "Now that the war in Nanhuai has not been settled, it is impossible to get the Liang family acquitted. ”
The emperor can retreat about this half step.
Mu Jinfan was silent for a moment, and there seemed to be a ripple on his indifferent face, and then he calmed down again, and said slowly: "...... If you can leave a life for the time being, we will talk about the future later. As long as you buy time, it means that there is hope...... "you can slowly arrange and plan."
Feng Yan brought the teacup to his lips and took another sip of hot tea, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes. This Mu Jinfan is a bit interesting.
The room was silent, except for the sound of insects chirping in the courtyard at night.
Suddenly, Mu Jinfan stood up quietly, his long narrow eyes were dark and dark, and he looked at Feng Yan again:
"Let me be sent later."
The six words are said lightly and casually, but they contain deep meaning.
Feng Yan looked at Mu Jinfan and smiled, this person is really interesting.
The sound of pouring tea then echoed in the room, Feng Yan did not speak, but quietly poured the tea, and then handed the tea cup to Mu Jinfan.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Mu Jinfan bowed his head and took the teacup with both hands.
"Afan, sit down." Feng Yan said with a smile.
At first glance, he seems to be the same as before, with a casual smile on his face, and when he looks at it again, his expression seems to have a more familiar and tacit taste.
