Text Chapter 21: The Palace Banquet 2
"The palace just came, but the concubine is leaving, what does this mean? Do you blame Hongu for coming late, or do you think that Hongu shouldn't come? Princess Jing'an said so loudly that Su Yuan had no ability to refute.
Letting go of the hand holding Mu Yan, Su Yuan turned around and smiled, "Where is the princess?" The princess can come, she has already given enough face to the palace, how dare the palace have any disgust and blame? β
"There is no best!" Yin Yufu pulled the hem of her skirt, and suddenly the atmosphere in the hall changed greatly, and it changed hands in an instant. The palace concubines who had flattered Su Yuan before, and came to stammered Princess Jing'an, and even Su Yuan herself was like swallowing a yellow lotus, and she was overwhelmed by the eldest princess who even the emperor was afraid of three points.
Yin Yufu is the sister of the current emperor Yin Chenglu, all of whom were born by the Empress Dowager Liu, when she was young, Emperor Lian Yin's biological mother died early, and the first emperor handed it over to Mrs. Liu and Yufu and Chenglu to raise together. The three of them can be said to have grown up together, but Yin Yufu is closer to her half-mother Yin Yi, after the death of Emperor Lian, her brother Yin Chenglu ascended the throne, Yin Yufu did not show much excitement, but the relationship with Yin Chenglu was more different.
Emperor Yun promoted his biological mother Concubine Liu to be the queen mother, lived in the longevity palace for a long time, and at the same time, canonized Yin Yufu as the eldest princess of Jing'an, the same prince. Yin Yufu is still cold and indifferent to the emperor, the emperor is not annoyed, and being able to tolerate Yin Yufu's presumptuousness so much shows how much weight she has in the emperor's mind.
I often hear that Princess Jing'an and the husband and wife are inseparable from each other, but I don't know that the princess came to the banquet tonight, and the horse can come together. Someone looked out curiously and said, "Didn't the horses come?" β
"I've gone to the imperial study to see the royal brother." Yin Yufu replied lightly, her gaze coldly swept over everyone in the hall, and finally landed on Mu Yan.
The back is thin and thin, plain white, with long hair draped over the shoulders, and the back looks like a person.
"She's ......" Yin Yufu couldn't help but wonder, thinking back to the person she saw in the Drunken Jade Building, how could she appear here?
"Princess, she's ...... My eldest sister. Su Yuan replied.
I heard that Cheng Guogong's long-lost daughter Su Rao has been found, is that her? Yin Yufu was even more curious now, and without waiting for Yin Yufu to speak, Mu Yan turned around and blessed: "Su Rao has seen the princess." β
Raising his head slightly, he obviously saw that Yin Yufu's hand on the case trembled twice.
Yin Yufu also asked the same question as Su Rao: "Are you Su Rao?" Are you really Su Rao? β
"The princess thinks that I shouldn't be Su Rao?" Mu Yan asked.
"Heh, it's this palace that underestimated your ability." Yin Yufu sneered.
"Su Rao doesn't understand what the princess is talking about."
Yin Yufu took Mu Yan to sit beside her, and ordered the rest of the people to sit down and start the banquet, the strings played, and the singing and dancing continued.
In this situation, Su Yuan only regrets all she has left, what banquet does she have nothing to do? was seen by Yin Yufu, and wanted to hide it from the emperor, I'm afraid it was impossible.
Rouge outside watched Princess Jing'an enter the palace with her own eyes, she was sitting on the stone pier and waiting, but when she saw Yin Yufu coming from a distance, she fell into the grass unsteadily, but fortunately she didn't make any changes.
Princess Jing'an didn't seem to notice Rouge, and went straight into the Liuyue Palace, followed by a long line of attendants.
Rouge carefully looked at everyone through the light of the stars, but he couldn't find himβMeng Yanxiu.
Didn't he come into the palace with the princess?
I don't know how long later, there was a sound of laughter and laughter from inside, and Rouge poked out half of his head to move his legs and feet twice, and his whole body was numb from squatting. However, there was a long line of lights in the distance, and the attendant team even overshadowed Princess Jing'an, could it be...... Emperor?
Rouge covered her mouth in shock, retracted and continued to crouch in the grass.
Yin Chenglu came side by side with a man in white, and the man in white was undoubtedly Princess Jing'an's concubine Ye Meng.
Seeing that the two of them looked harmonious, and they didn't know what they were discussing, Meng Yanxiu had a slight smile on his face, and that smile was as warm as the breeze in spring.
And countless sleepless nights, like the phantom that was as warm as jade in his sleep.
The eyes were cold, and Rouge reached out and touched it, but it was a pool of tears.
"Brother Meng......" The sound was choked in his throat, and it was not until Yin Chenglu and Meng Yanxiu disappeared in front of them that they muttered.
The emperor's presence undoubtedly pushed the palace banquet of Liuyue Palace to a climax, everyone knelt down and bowed together, and those palace concubines dressed up in costumes were not waiting for this moment? Inadvertently, everyone made a gesture, hoping that the emperor could take a look at them more, and it was worth it.
However, Yin Chenglu brushed straight past the group of women dressed in red and green, glanced at Su Yuan, who was the most gorgeously dressed and extravagant in the room, and then wiped Yin Yufu, and finally landed on Mu Yan, who was silent with lowered eyes on Yin Yufu's side.
The woman was like a water lily out of the dust, extraordinary and fresh, in a trance, Yin Chenglu's heart passed by a trace of haze, still remembering the first birthday he gave Mu Yan, he gave her a set of pure white as snow dress, she was so excited that she wore it in front of him and turned around.
She has said that she likes the purity of white and hates the heat and intensity of red.
He always remembered it, but in the end, it was he who forced her to wear a red dress as bright as blood, and sent her to the endless abyss.
"I heard that Cheng Guogong recently found his beloved daughter who was separated many years ago." Yin Chenglu stared at Mu Yan inquiringly for a long time, that look was no different from Yin Yufu or Su Yuan, even if she had been deboned and skinned, and her appearance had changed greatly, but their first reaction when they saw her seemed to be to see her other face through this layer of skin.
Heh, Mu Yan laughed secretly, Mo Yu said that once you change your skin, you can't change back to your previous appearance.
Yes, how can everything in the world not be like this? Once you've chosen, it's hard to turn back.
But even if it can't go back to the way it used to be, at least don't make its ending look so hideous.
Mo Yu said that this is an obsession and obsession without regrets, Mu Yan does not deny it, she does have an obsession in her heart, and she can't get rid of it.
"Guifei, is that her?" Yin Chenglu asked Su Yuan, but he didn't look at her, as if looking at Su Yuan more would make him a little more disgusted.
"Yes." After a long time, Su Yuan replied timidly: "Father is saying that she is Su Rao, the eldest sister of her mother who was abducted when she was a child." Su Yuan said as if she was in a hurry to explain something: "But she ......"
Before Su Yu finished speaking, she was snatched by Yin Yufu, "Chengguo Gong is really a blessing, his daughter who has been separated for so many years can be found safe and sound." It is rare to hear Yin Yufu compliment a person like this, maybe everyone present does not understand Yin Yufu's personality, but Mu Yan knows very well that Yin Yufu must have her purpose when she says this.
Sure enough, I only heard Yin Yufu continue: "I really don't know how much merit Chengguo has accumulated to get such a rare fate!" β
Yin Yufu's words meant something else, how could Yin Chenglu not hear it, his sharp eyes suddenly glanced at Yin Yufu, this sister who called him both loved and hated!
"What is the royal brother looking at me like this?" Yin Yufu said angrily, standing beside the concubine Meng Yanxiu, Yin Chenglu smiled lightly: "I just think that the imperial sister seems to know the eldest daughter of Chengguo Gong?" β
Since the last Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Yin Yufu designed Mu Yan to wait for the opportunity to assassinate him in the name of dancing, and his love and hate for this sister had another suspicion.
After a fierce battle in her eyes, Yin Yufu knew in her heart, this imperial brother's suspicion was committed again, I am afraid that he thinks that the eldest daughter of Cheng Guogong, who has been lost and recovered, was designed and arranged by himself, right?
"Brother Huang is wise." Yin Yufu didn't hide it from him, "My sister did have a relationship with her a long time ago. β
"Really?" Yin Chenglu was more interested, but his eyes didn't linger on Mu Yan, if she was the person arranged by Yin Yufu, no matter how good it was, it was not worth his attention.
"Just a one-sided relationship? So easy? Yin Chenglu asked again.
"Yes, otherwise how complicated does the imperial brother think?" Yin Yufu met Yin Chenglu's sharp gaze, and replied without changing her face, "That day, she sang in the building, and the courtier's sister just stopped and listened to two more sentences." β
Singing? In an instant, everyone's focus shifted from how Yin Yufu met the eldest daughter of the Su family in the early morning to how she had sold and sang in the building.
It was originally from Fengchen, such an innocent woman, thinking that the emperor would definitely look down on her, even if he fell in love with her, there was no room for such a lowly person in this palace.
Su Yuan felt a little comforted in her heart, even if she was found by her father, even if she was restored to the ancestral hall of her identity as the eldest daughter of the Su family? After all, she can't shake her Su Yuan's status, and she is not worthy of competing with her Su Yuan.
Thinking about it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but burst into a smug smile, this smile happened to fall into Mu Yan's eyes, it turned out that Princess Jing'an was just trying to tear down her platform for this purpose?
Could it be that Yin Yufu saw what she wanted to do?
Even if you see it, what? No one can shake her vengeful heart!
Mu Yan raised his head, looking at Yin Chenglu innocently, Yin Chenglu's heart flashed a trace of throbbing in an instant, those crystal clear eyes, those eyes full of friendship and struggle, in a trance, remembered that when he personally led Mu Yan into the Yin Palace and led him to Yin Yi's side, she also looked at him like this, was it fear, was it nostalgia? Or downright despair......
Just one glance can make people sink.
Those beautiful eyes once confused Emperor Lian Yinyi's heart, and even overturned her life. Those beautiful eyes are deeply engraved in the heart of Yin Chenglu, the current Cloud Emperor, and they cannot be forgotten until death.
Faced with such a pair of eyes that look like gods, how can Yin Chenglu deal with it calmly?
"Mu Yan ......" Yin Chenglu's unconscious call, Mu Yan heard it, Su Yuan heard it, Yin Yufu heard it, including all the palace concubines and maids present......
