On Chinese New Year's Eve, after Xuan Nan gave food to the twelve important ministers in Beijing, the Taiji Palace banquet began.

The huge Taiji Hall is separated by a silk screen, on which the picture of the mountains and rivers of Dachu is painted, which is magnificent and vast. On both sides of the screen, men and women are seated.

Sit according to your status, the more respectful your position, the closer you are to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. On the women's seat, the queen mother was sitting on the upper seat, and the rest of the female dependents were also dressed up beautifully, dressed in a royal blue woven silver palace dress, with intricate and delicate and precious gold and jade jewelry. For a while, Hua Nong and Bing Lan became the double beauty of tonight, one was born beautiful and difficult to give up, and the other was self-effacing with poetry and books, compared to the noble ladies and noblewomen who came to the banquet. Hua Nong is a second-grade Zhaoyi, so he sits closer than many of the ladies of the Commandment.

"This is the Zhaoyi Niangniang that Your Majesty just sealed..."

"Really... Just her? A singer? ”

"Hey... I only heard that her fox charm kung fu is amazing... Aren't men going to eat this..."

Several ladies sitting at the bottom whispered in voices that Hua Nong could just hear. Hum... As far as you people know, Your Majesty's favor for me... When I become the queen, see if I don't clean you up!

Bing Lan sat far away, talking and laughing with several official ladies of the same age.

On the men's seat, Xuan Nan saw that Song Chu was dressed very gracefully today, he was dressed in a light purple straight coat, his eyes leaped over the mountains and rivers screen, and he didn't care about the staggered plans around him, it seemed that there was only the white lotus hidden in the West Lake in this world. Somehow, a nameless fire arose in his heart, so he had to quietly pick up the dense-colored porcelain wine cup in front of him and drink the slightly cool elixir jade liquid.

"Your Majesty, this wine is cold. The concubine will give you a new pot. "In my ears is the sweet and glutinous voice of Hua Nong. Then, the light blue veil was lifted, revealing white and tender arms, and the jade-colored hand gently picked up the wine jug in front of him and placed another jug in front of him. Xuan Nan looked at a pair of surprised eyes on the table, and then a clever minister knelt on the ground, and then all the ministers knelt on the ground and slammed their heads on the ground and closed their eyes. Xuan Nan only felt that his face was hot, and he didn't squint and said: "You are Zhaoyi, just let the palace people do this." ”

"You are the husband of the concubine, and the concubine is willing to do this for you." Hua Nong said. She looked at Xuan Nan with her eyebrows, thinking that at this time, Xuan Nan should take her hand and let herself sit next to him. But Xuan Nan didn't, just said coldly: "Zhaoyi is afraid that he is drunk, so hurry back to the palace to rest." ”

Hua Nong walked away in a huff.

During the banquet, the ladies laughed softly: "A concubine still wants to sit next to His Majesty, and she can't do it. ”

"In front of so many people, my sleeves are up to my armpits, and I am really from a lowly singer."

Song Chu walked through the winding corridor of the Taiji Palace, and heard the dance music of the Taiji Hall gradually weakening, before he stopped and looked around. Suddenly, a cloud of snow smashed from behind him, and Song Chu turned around, it was a woman in a goose-yellow palace dress wearing a snow-white fox skin, not Bing Lan.

"Lan'er, why have you lost weight again." Song Chu said.

Bing Lan was a little embarrassed, her face turned crimson, and she said, "Probably this makeup has made my face a little smaller, but in fact, I am a lot stronger." ”

"If you are on the list this year, I will go to your house to propose marriage."

"There's something I have to tell you."

"You say, I'll listen."

"I actually ran away from marriage that day. I'm afraid that this will make your family think that I am not a good wife, and I will not know how to deal with myself at that time. Ice Blue grimaced.

"Have you been hired? Did your parents agree to get married? Song Chu asked anxiously.

"No, it's just a levy. I escaped, and the rest of the salute was not done. Bing Lan said.

"Three books and six ceremonies have not been completed, and my mother does not care. When the time comes, the Chongde Mansion will compensate him twice or three times the dowry. Song Chu breathed a sigh of relief. Lan'er, you believe me, I will treat you wholeheartedly in the future, so that you will be happy every day. ”

The ice blue pretty face was dyed with Feixia, which was particularly moving. She said to herself, "I'm the same for you."

Song Chu's slender fingers caressed the delicate and smooth cheeks of ice blue, the faint fragrance of osmanthus loomed, and his face was closer, and he gently held up his ice blue chin.

Bing Lan felt a manly aura coming from the pavement, and her warm lips covered her, making her confused.

Song Chu suddenly hugged her ice-blue waist, only to shrink back in fright, and said, "I should go back." ”

Song Chu stood in place, looking at her distant back, and regretted in his heart: This is such an abrupt beauty.

Bing Lan walked about fifty steps, her heart rippling and calming down, and in the distance it was Xianyun who came to pick her up. Xianyun said: "Miss, why have you been there for so long, you are about to miss the fireworks of the New Year." ”

"Exactly. You love to be lively so much, why don't you look at this excitement? A voice came from the front. Bing Lan only cared about talking to Xianyun, and then looked ahead. Under the high hanging red lantern, there was a warm halo, and Xuan Nan was draped in a brown coat and stood under the eaves with his hands tied.

"Your Majesty. Happy New Year to you. Ice Blue saluted.

"Flat." Xuan Nan said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ice Blue got up.

Xuan Nan saw Binglan's panicked expression, his face turned crimson, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"I've had a drink, come out to breathe." Ice Blue replied.

"Minister Song Chu greets Your Majesty and wishes you a happy New Year." At this time, Song Chu walked over to Xuan Nan, knelt down and saluted.

Xuan Nan glanced at Song Chu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said condescendingly: "I hope you cherish her reputation." Then he turned to Binglan and said, "The queen mother is looking for you, go quickly." ”

Bing Lan stood on the spot, neither walking, nor not leaving.

Xuan Nan said in a deep voice: "Don't go yet."

Bing Lan lifted the hem of her skirt, looked back at Song Chu who was kneeling on the ground, and then walked towards the Taiji Hall.

Xuan Nan looked at Song Chu who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes became fierce: "I hope that my cousin Chun Yu can be named on the gold list, and then break off with those oirans, and marry Meng Huo with three books and six ceremonies." Meng Huo doesn't know about your good friends in Bianliang over the years, but it doesn't mean that I don't know either. I heard that the son of the king of Pingxi in Yunnan gave you a beautiful woman, I don't know what you are going to do? ”

Hearing this, Song Chu's heart trembled, and his tone trembled: "The minister didn't accept it." ”

Xuan Nan said: "Count you as acquaintances." If you fail her, I won't be able to spare you. With that, Xuan Nan turned around and left.

Song Chu saw Xuan Nan walking away, stood up, and had palpitations, not only for the emperor, but also for the always gentle and lovely Lan'er.

In the Taiji Palace, the New Year's Eve was ringing, the sound of the knock shook the sky, and the fire tree and silver flower in the palace welcomed the twelfth year of Zhongxing. The queen mother and the emperor sat on the head and accepted the New Year's greetings from the nobles of the clan and the civil and military officials, and everyone said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

After the palace banquet, Wang Xi commanded the Yellow Gate and carried the drunk Xuandong Xuanqi into the carriage. Not far away, Bing Lan was saying goodbye to the Tang family lady who was familiar at first sight.

"Sister Huo, you must come to my house if you have a chance in the future. When the time comes, I'll design your wedding dress. Miss Tang San smiled.

Bing Lan suddenly blushed and said, "It's all human, don't talk about it......"

On the way back to Nanxuntai, I suddenly saw a person standing alone at the intersection with a lamp not far away. When I got closer, I saw clearly that it was Xuan Nan.

"Your Majesty? Are you here? "Ice Blue Salute.

"Your Majesty is blessed." Slim Cloud Gifts.

Xuan Nan waved his hand, and then said, "Have you already decided that you want to be with your cousin?" Xuan Nan asked.

Ice Blue's face turned crimson again, and he nodded.

In the night, Xuan Nan looked at the ice blue. This girl has never been so particular about seeing me in the past. Dressed up so beautifully today! Thinking of this, my heart was filled with sourness that came from nowhere, shallowly, slowly, at the tip of Xuan Nan's heart...

"Sister!" Xuan Nan paused and said, "If my cousin doesn't choose a good wife, he can still take concubines, and he can have countless women." And when you get married, there's no room for manoeuvre. ”

"Thank you for Your Majesty's teachings, the concubine will retire." Ice Blue was about to leave, and a bad premonition flashed through her mind.

"Don't rush to leave!"

"Your Majesty, what else do you command?" Bing Lan hurriedly stopped, and stood there stunned, clutching Xianyun's hand tightly.

"Tomorrow I will go to the shrine to worship. Hua Nong is in the palace, if you can help, you can help her......" Xuan Nan said.

Bing Lan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Eh, I almost thought he said that...... Your Majesty has taken a fancy to me... It's okay, it's okay. He just used me as a sister-in-law. But on second thought, it was Lu Huanon. Feixing almost died in her hands, and her popularity is notoriously poor in the entire harem......

"What are you hesitating about? Afraid of offending the queen mother? Xuan Nan asked.

"I have a maid who was brought out of her palace. Help her, the concubine really can't do it..."

"What if I help me?"

"Concubine help." Ice Blue replied.

It was night, in the Feixia Palace, Xuan Nan looked at Hua Nong in front of him and cried with pear blossoms:

"They all looked down on me, and the ladies looked down on me,...... They say that I am from a low birth and unworthy to serve Your Majesty........."

"Hua Nong, you are the Zhaoyi of the head of the nine products, and you are a noble woman, don't be arrogant. It's normal to be talked about in a high position, if you can't stand this, don't go to the palace banquet in the future! ”

"Now, even Your Majesty dislikes me...... I might as well be dead...... Hua Nong said, and then bypassed Xuan Nan's body and slammed into the pillar behind him.

Xuan Nan grabbed her, pushed her on the bed, and said angrily: "Come back to this!" If you want to bump it, wait for me to go and hit it again! If you don't punish you today, and don't say whether the queen mother can let you go, the imperial historian will be able to break the fold and let me abolish you! Come! According to my metaphor, Lu Zhaoyi was grounded for one month and fined for three months. ”

Suddenly, seeing Xuan Nan angry, Hua Nong didn't dare to make another attempt: "Your Majesty, I was wrong...... Don't be angry. ”

"Think about it...... What has been done before? How will you live in the future? With that, Xuan Nan brushed his sleeves and left.

The north wind outside the window is Xiaoxiao, the goose pear in the tent is burning, it should be a strong love but still a lonely empty room, she is so angry that she can't help but squeeze the silk brocade quilt in her hand.
