Chapter 40: Concubine Yi
A month later, a celebration was held in the palace.
That night, the banquet of the Zichen Hall began. The concubines of the palace arrived one after another, wanting to take this opportunity to meet the emperor. Since Yang Jieyun was sent out of the palace, Li Mingsheng has not stepped into the harem for a month.
This banquet held in the palace is still a pity to propose. Li Mingsheng also felt that it was time for the palace to be lively, so he agreed to her request. In addition to the concubines of the palace, the foreign ministers Jiang Yan and Mo Hong were also invited.
"The emperor has arrived." Li Mingsheng walked into the hall with an expressionless face.
All the concubines stood up and saluted.
"Don't be polite, this is also a family banquet, everyone eat and drink to your heart's content, don't worry about me." Li Mingsheng opened his mouth lightly.
Li Yu sat below, nervously churning his fingers. Since her cousin Li Han was demoted from the palace, she was afraid that she would also be implicated and be angered by the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this time Weichen has prepared a program, please watch it." Jiang Yan got up and said to Li Mingsheng.
Li Mingsheng nodded and allowed the performance to begin.
Suddenly, the sound of music sounded, and a woman in a big red robe and veiled walked in. She held a red plum in her hand and danced to the music. The red plum in the woman's hand was like a sharp sword, wielding it sonorously and powerfully. When Hong Meishao pointed at Li Mingsheng, everyone present was shocked.
The woman's veil was gently blown open and floated to the ground. The familiar eyebrows and eyes fell into Li Mingsheng's eyes.
The moment everyone present saw the woman's face, they couldn't help but be surprised. Such a woman who captivates the country and the city is really rare. Mo Hong glanced at the woman, then at Jiang Yan, and suddenly understood in his heart.
Jiang Shen looked at the woman helplessly, remembering the promise she had made to herself these days. This sister of his own, ten cows can't pull back the good things she decides. In desperation, he agreed to his sister's request.
"Yan'er?" Li Mingsheng was shocked.
Jiang Yan Yingying bowed: "Jiang Yan, the lord of Lingyang County, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
"You're Jiang Yan!" Li Mingsheng stood up directly in surprise.
"The courtier's daughter is indeed Jiang Yan, the lord of Lingyang County, and she is also the sister of Prime Minister Jiang Yan." Jiang Yan said without humility or arrogance.
Li Mingsheng glanced at Jiang Ember with his eyes, and Jiang Ember turned his head pretending not to know anything.
"Jiang Yan, you are really good." Li Mingsheng was a little annoyed, this woman actually deceived herself and said that she was going to marry someone else, which is really funny.
After thinking about it, the position of this queen will be Jiang Yan's sooner or later anyway, who told her to deceive herself first, it is better to ...... herself
Li Mingsheng sneered: "The lord of Lingyang County is really a beautiful woman, it's a pity that I don't canonize you." Ah Chang, the proposed canonization of Jiang Yan, the lord of Lingyang County, as a concubine, with the title of Yi, and a residence in the Chengqian Palace. ”
"Concubine Yi? Since the emperor ascended the throne, when has he directly canonized a woman to such a high position? He said in a low voice to Xie Ying.
"It's not, besides, this Chengqian Palace has always been inhabited by the queen. The emperor is agreeable again? Even the county lord of Lingyang should not be treated like this. Xie Ying was unconvinced.
After hearing that she had been made a concubine, Jiang Yan smiled slightly, and said without surprise: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to Concubine Yi." The concubines of the various palaces saw that Jiang Yan was so favored, and they congratulated one after another.
Jiang Yan sneered, her eyebrows and eyes full of coldness.
