Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Thousand Autumn Banquets
Mu Bingyue, who was lying on the bed, didn't close her eyes all night.
At the beginning of her debut, there were children of high-ranking officials who used their power to force producers to pressure her to accompany her to drink, and now in this era of supremacy of imperial power, in order to protect herself, she can only fight hard.
The next day, the wind in the city was tight, Mu Bingyue had to contact Ruthless and others with the secret method that had been set up a long time ago, although the flame capital is now closed, but Mu Bingyue believes that as long as she escapes the past few days, she can escape with her whole body, because a few days later it will be the Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Banquet, and then the carriages and horses will be mixed, and there will be many opportunities to escape from the flame capital.
The mountains are green, the two seas are surrounded by blue, and the breeze is slow, blowing away the summer scorching.
The flame capital is located in it, more like a pearl in the sea.
The white mist is as soft as a veil. Red glow, clouds, cooking smoke, curling in the clear sky. Under the glow, in the morning mist, cars, horses, and pedestrians were in a hurry.
The morning glow glows in the east, and rows of golden clouds seem to be waiting for the sun, just like the ministers are waiting for the emperor. The red sun rose from the east gate, and the whole city shone brightly.
The Empress Dowager has been in the middle of the city, the flaming red guard of honor is around, the red lanterns are hung on both sides of the road with the red carpet one by one, the square is full of lights, and the bright red carpet has been laid on the road in front of the forbidden city, which has been extended into the palace for a long time. The armor of the forbidden army on both sides is bright, the golden royal honor guard reveals the inviolable authority, and the whole city is full of joy.
Secretly, there is a happy family and a sad family, some people do everything possible to send their daughters into the high walls, and some are worried about the crumbling concubine, and the tea is unpleasant.
The winged bird was blown away by the wind, the nest was uncertain when it would return, the acacia flowers were destroyed in the rain, and the other courtyard did not know who was the master?
"Alas!" Prime Minister Mei sighed.
Mei'er's long-term infertility has been disgusted by the Empress Dowager, today is the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, all the ministers will bring their daughters to celebrate her birthday, although today is just a face-to-face, but if the emperor wishes, it will be stayed, not to mention that the next few days are the camellia party, when the flowers are blooming, it is difficult not to make the emperor into the eyes, and it is enough for Mei'er to accept a few. The daughter of Situ Lao Pifu, Situ Qing, is afraid that she will also enter the palace this time. The horseman's daughter is about the same age as Mei'er, if it weren't for the fact that the old horseman was seriously injured on the battlefield and was bedridden, which made her miss the draft, Mei'er's life would have been so leisurely. Alas! Today's Chiyan Country has no shortage of talented women, and there are not a few women who are proficient in poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Speaking closely, there is Situ Pifu's daughter Situ Qing, and from a distance, the Firmament Country sent the most favored third princess Ouyang Yi here, and the intention can be seen.
And the brave daughter heard that it was not a good match, and Mei'er would have a difficult life in the future.
The green mountains next to the palace rise near the water, although the mountain is not high, but the beautiful trees are lush, the strange flowers are splendid, making people feel full of spring; At the foot of the mountain, there is a pool of shallow water, the pond is rugged, and the edge of the pond is full of willows, willow branches fluttering and swaying in the wind.
A pond of lotus flowers in the garden has bloomed, primrose flowers, millet herbs, and golden alchemy flowers are swaying gracefully in the moonlight with the morning breeze, and small bridges and pavilions stand in the pond.
Mountains and forests, springs and stones, different shapes, bamboo, trees and flowers, have a unique charm, a pool of clear water rippling, a woman leaning on the pavilion by the pool, her skirt fluttering, the white fingertips draw out the strings, it is really like the sound of nature.
"Princess, this time we will definitely make the Red Flame Kingdom lose face, hmph, and also make the Prince of Xuanyuan Kingdom who has eyes above the top regret his original choice", a young girl in a light green Luo robe stood behind the woman, her eyes flowing, her eyebrows were slender, and her beautiful face was greatly discounted due to the disdain flowing in her eyes. should be an elegant and beautiful young girl, but she gives people the face of a fox and a fake tiger.
Ouyang Yi didn't say anything, her eyes were erratic, as if she was remembering something, but seeing that her skin was white and snowy, under her delicate eyebrows, there were a pair of watery autumn eyes, her small pink lips were red without dotting, and her delicate face was not powdered, but she was still beautiful and elegant, like a fairy in the mountains! The woman in front of her is a charming and beautiful woman.
The slender hand unconsciously played on the piano xuan, wearing a white gauze skirt, lining her plain skin like congealed snow, bright eyes looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond, the hairpins in the hair were shining and shining. The corners of the skirt are embroidered with a few pink lotus flowers, the skirt is flying, and the jet-black hair flows down like a waterfall, reaching to the waist.
"He will regret his original choice", yes he will regret it, she is a thousand times better than that Ouyang Qing, she will let him Xuanyuan Yi see clearly, only she Ouyang Yi deserves to stand with him Xuanyuan Yi and look down on the world.
From the beginning of the morning sun to the rapid rise to mid-air, the traffic is still continuous, and the nine gates of the imperial city are still only allowed to enter and not to exit.
Mu Bingyue returned disappointed from the city gate, but saw the dejected woman staggering out of the palace gate, jumped down from the carriage, walked in to support her, and asked blankly: "What's wrong with you, shouldn't you enter the palace today to dance, why are you still staying here?" ”
The look of the woman who was like a dead ash was suddenly swept away, her body fell suddenly, and she knelt down for Mu Bingyue on the street.
Mu Bingyue was startled, and before she could ask the reason, she had already heard her whimper and cry, and her doubts were even worse, she had always been calm and calm, why was she so frightened?
The maid on the side of the girl saw that the girl was crying, and saw that Mu Bingyue was puzzled and hurriedly helped explain: "Please also ask Miss Mu to save my young lady, my young lady got up this morning to practice dancing and accidentally injured her foot, but now the carriage to pick up the young lady has arrived, but my young lady is no longer able to dance......
Mu Bingyue was taken aback, "Have you ever seen Lang Zhong." ”
The daughter cried, "I hurt my hamstrings, I can't move for ten days and a half months, and I can't dance." "It's even more impossible to do those difficult moves.
She looked at Mu Bingyue with teary eyes, "Sister, now only you can save me." ”
Mu Bingyue was puzzled, seeing how miserable she was crying, she hurriedly helped her up, "Don't worry, the performance won't work, hurry up and remedy it, I will let the ruthless help you intercede, and I won't let the palace condemn you." ”
Li's tears were even more anxious like rain, and she choked up: "No, this time there are ruthless generals, Miss Situ and Miss Xia to help recommend, the literary and art workshop has been booked as the finale, and now the palace is full of envoys from various countries, retreating from the battle and destroying the royal prestige, provoking the anger of Long Yan, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the disaster of extermination." ”
How so? Mu Bingyue took two steps back in disbelief.
After visiting the lake that day, Mu Bingyue only contacted the divorced daughter, knowing that Situ Qing and the two did not see her clearly, but they didn't know that Situ Qing and Xia Lanxin not only kept their promise to her, but also made their father's side very hard because of their friendship.
The Literature and Art Workshop is famous all over the world, and has been praised and recommended by several important figures, and the Ministry of Rites has naturally done a favor, but I didn't think that the momentum is too strong now, and it can't even change generals in battle.
The daughter looked at Mu Bingyue, who was pale, with tears in her eyes, "Only my sister can dance this dance, but now I can only ask my sister to dance on my behalf." ”
First, she went around seeking medical treatment, and then went to Ruthless and those young ladies to ask for guilt, but she didn't want them to have entered the palace, and then she thought of Li Dai Taozhuang, but she didn't want to wait for Mu Bingyue for a long time, she was disheartened, but she didn't want to turn around at this time, although she was still frightened in her heart, she also looked at Mu Bingyue hopefully.
Mu Bingyue subconsciously shook her head, they were looking for her all over the city, how could she send it to the door by herself.
Seeing her shake her head, the daughter thought that she was worried about the crime of bullying the king, and hurriedly said: "There is only the name of the literary and artistic workshop on the imperial register, and the respective roles are not listed in detail. ”
Mu Bingyue looked at her departed daughter with an expectant expression, but she couldn't explain it, so she had to be silent.
Seeing this, the daughter knew that Mu Bingyue was never a person who could not be saved, so she hurriedly said, "What other concerns does my sister have?" ”
"......", Mu Bingyue was silent and lowered her hands dejectedly.
"Please Miss Mu save my young lady, Ping'er kowtowed to you." Ping'er on the side saw that Mu Bingyue was silent, and knelt down and kowtowed.
Mu Bingyue sighed silently, could it be that all this was her destined catastrophe?
What should come or will come...... He had expected it at the time!
In the dark, the power of heaven is unpredictable, even if she changes her life against the sky, it is difficult for her to disobey the will of heaven.
A feeling of powerlessness came, and Mu Bingyue slowly closed her eyes, "I promise you." ”
……
Behind the stage, Zhang Luo was in full swing, but you had already sung and I appeared on the stage, and it had been several rounds of performances.
After the dance was over, Nangong Chen raised his glass and stood up, his eyes were like a clear sky, swept through the crowd, and said loudly, "Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager of our country, and I would like to thank the envoys of various countries for coming thousands of miles to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday, I won't say much, please don't be formal, you must have fun, I will do it first for respect", Nangong Chen drank it all after speaking, looked around, and sat down slowly.
After the envoy of Heiyi State waited for Nangong Chen to sit down, he walked slowly to Taichung, and after saluting, he bowed to the Empress Dowager and said, "The envoy of Yi is here, on behalf of my Wang Yi Huang, I congratulate the Empress Dowager of your country on the joy of a thousand autumns, and may the Empress Dowager stay young forever and the blessings will continue", and sent congratulatory gifts together.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the hand of the messenger standing behind the envoy, only to see that the box was displayed in a box of rare treasures, and the first box was placed in a horse of ice silk snow brocade, you must know that it was woven by thousands of years of ice silkworms, warm in winter and cool in summer, and priceless.
Everyone boasted for a while, and looked at the second box, it was a mussel bead, look at the size of the bead, I am afraid it must be a thousand years, this thousand years of mussel beads are precious, but also difficult to find in the world, there is a grain around you can stay in the face and nourish the qi, regulate the body and mind, is the most coveted treasure of women, everyone saw this have looked at the envoy, only to see the envoy standing aside, a change from the previous smirk, full of spring breeze pride.
I don't blame him for being proud, these two things, any of them are hard to find in the world, not to mention that the now rich Chiyan Country can't get it, even the Xuanyuan Country with rich materials and outstanding people, I'm afraid that it won't be able to take it for a while.
