Chapter 290: Banquet (1)

When you have to entertain the envoys of the Baimeng in the Yuntai Palace, if it is usual, even if it is yesterday, Song Yaoxian will go to great lengths to dress up to cater to the emperor's wishes. Now, however, she is not in the mood at all.

The beaded jade in the makeup is still dazzling, but she has become an old person. Now there is still a threat of being manipulated!

"!"

Yun'er came in from outside the hall with a look of secrecy, and Song Yaoxian hurriedly waved away the others and asked, "What, what did you find?" ”

Yun'er stepped forward and knelt at Song Yaoxian's feet, and said softly: "That Fanghua, the palace that has been in the past three years, familiar people say that she is timid and afraid, saying that she is in the palace of the Empress Dowager Qi's heart, and she has nightmares every night, and she can always hear the ghost of the Empress Dowager talking. ”

Song Yaoxian sneered and said, "What kind of cowardice and fear, looking at her appearance, she is simply bold!" Someone must have made her do it on purpose. ”

"Yes, the slave maid thinks this Fanghua is very suspicious, Niangniang, what is she doing here to find Niangniang?"

"Someone threatened this palace, and she came to deliver the message."

Yun'er was taken aback, Song Yaoxian could be threatened by nothing more than two things. One is to frame Song Yuheng with the fetus that can't be saved, and the other is to think about King Du before entering the palace. Now that Song Yuheng is dead, no one will make a fuss about the child, so it should be because of the matter of King Du. "...... Who is the other party, and how much does that Fanghua know? ”

Song Yaoxian made a mistake and said, "How can this palace know...... However, when Empress Dowager Qi died, they all said that the 'woman' in her mouth referred to Concubine Xiansu. These words also came from the Heart Palace, and now it seems that eighty percent of them were also passed on by Fanghua under the instruction of others. ”

Yun'er said: "Since you used Concubine Su as an introduction and caused the fire to the prince, is it ...... the queen mother or the emperor?" The master and servant looked at each other and did not say anything. After a while, Song Yaoxian said: "No matter who it is, when Fanghua comes to the palace again, maybe you will be able to see your eyebrows." ”

"But, does the mother really have to obey?"

"Or else? Do you think Hongu likes to be at the mercy of others? "Song Yaoxian has a calm face, Fanghua is the one who spread rumors when the Empress Dowager Qi died, so there must be a conspiracy behind the unexpected death of the Empress Dowager, and the person who manipulated the conspiracy made her feel terrified." If you go against the other party's will, you may lose now, and if you follow the other party's arrangement, you will still have the opportunity to act. ”

"Now that Niangniang has figured it out, the slave will follow Niangniang and never give up." Yun'er's face was resolute, but she was worried, and said, "I just don't know, what is the purpose of the other party?" ”

"In short, adapt to the situation, what the other party wants to do will not be simple. At every turn, it is necessary to overturn the fortunes of Da'an and the country, otherwise, why bother so much scheming...... Although I don't want Da'an to be in turmoil, I can only protect myself when the time comes. Otherwise, who will plan for the sake of this palace. ”

Yuna was surprised, but she didn't have half an idea.

Today's moon came out very early, and half of his face was already revealed before it was dark, and the bright halo reflected the glazed palace lamps hanging on the cloister of the palace courtyard and the tulle blowing in the hall, which was beautiful. Song Yaoxian let out a sigh of relief, got up and said, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”

"Yes, the slave maid changes the mother's clothes."

The autumn night was cold, but he didn't enter the Yuntai Hall for a while, and the emperor sat high on the top of the golden hall, smiling and listening to Nagari and the envoy Degu praise Da'an. The Empress Dowager Song and Empress Xiao Xun accompanied the emperor on the left and right, with a gentle face and dignified demeanor.

A concubine and a maid of orders sat in the side hall, saying that it was a side hall, but in fact it was only separated from the golden palace by a thin layer of brocade, and the outside could not see the inside, but the inside could clearly see the outside. Ji Erlan stood beside the eldest princess of Hongyang, and could see that Xiao Xun's face was very cautious, and the Empress Dowager Song's movements were naturally relaxed, but she refused to let go of any word Nagari said.

Ji Erlan knelt down and sat down to change tea for the eldest princess of Hongyang, and whispered in her ear: "The queen mother ostensibly handed over the power of auxiliary government to King Duan, but in fact, she retreated into advance, broke away from the center of the whirlpool with the greatest wind and waves, and went to the shore to watch the changes. Perhaps, she also sensed that something was wrong and was secretly investigating. ”

The eldest princess of Hongyang nodded, her eyes involuntarily looked at the embattled King Du, and said: "He looks like he is not shocked, like his father, no wonder the queen mother, mother and son are so taboo." ”

Ji Erlan's gaze passed through everyone, looking at the blurred figure outside the thin brocade, his eyes were hidden in the slightly drooping eyelids, hiding the things in the depths of his eyes, and the whole person looked more cold and handsome, a little colder than the solitary moon behind the fog in the heavenly palace.

On the top of the main hall, the eight women sent into the Da'an Palace by Baimeng, at this time, half of the tulle covered their faces, like smoke and fog drifted into the main hall, knotted their sleeves and beads, sang and danced, and the Jin Ling on the ankles made a crisp and pleasant golden sound, which tickled the hearts of the people.

Linglong suddenly said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the county lord of Yuanyang is here." ”

Ji Erlan turned his head slightly, and saw that the county lord of Yuanyang was wearing a bright palace skirt, walking like a straw blown by a strong wind, clearly fragile, but he refused to give in, and struggled to move forward. She walked straight to her mother, Princess Tao An, turned her head sideways and nodded to the eldest princess of Hongyang here, then sat down without saying a word, and looked out through the thin brocade.

Her gaze naturally fell on Nagari, the fifth prince of the Baimeng, and she was stunned at the moment, and there was a little stunned in her eyes. This Nagari does not look like ordinary Baimeng people, who are tall and brave, and have a rough and reckless aura. On the contrary, he is a little like the handsome and elegant people of Da'an, and his speech and demeanor have the unique comfort of the Baimeng people, and the nobility and heroism are perfectly integrated in his blood, and he can't pick out half of the displeasure from the top and bottom of his body.

The eldest princess of Hongyang trembled her fingertips and said, "Will Yuanyang be tempted?" ”

Ji Erlan Yuanyang pulled his gaze back from Nagari, and the energy he was holding back before seemed to have dissipated most of it, and he also had some bad premonitions in his heart, if Yuanyang really had a charming feeling for Nagari, it would really be difficult to do. "It's fine if Baimeng really wants to marry, but you and I both know that there is no such possibility."

The eldest princess of Hongyang's face became gloomy. Although she doesn't have a good impression of the people in the entire Da'an Palace, Yuanyang is her niece, and although she doesn't see much, she likes this child in her heart. "If it weren't what you and I expected, there should be news from Yasukuni."

"Hmm." Ji Erlan replied in a low voice, a little dazed in his heart. Originally, when Yang Zheng returned to Da'an, he wanted to find an opportunity to expose what the Empress Dowager Song had done back then, but Yasukuni and Baimeng were eyeing each other and seemed to be going to make a big move, so Yang Zheng temporarily shelved the matter. He cherished the people and refused to cause more trouble at this juncture, lest Da'an suffer from internal and external troubles and be exploited.

But even so, Ji Erlan felt that Da'an would not have a few days of peace. "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the prince does not move, but the others will not be idle."

The two looked at each other, and both tacitly did not speak.

The singing and dancing in front of me has come to an end, and one of the women is guarded by the women in the middle, her face is bright, like a bright moon in the night, hanging thin in the sky, crystal clear. The women around her are all splendid and dazzling, but they are not as light and pleasant as her, and her temperament is outstanding. The emperor's eyes were attracted by her for a while, and the envoy Degu got up and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this woman is the first beauty in my hundred alliances, born in the Derk family, and is the eldest daughter. ”

"Oh? The first beauty? The emperor looked at the woman in front of him playfully, and after a while, Lang laughed and said: "Such a beauty, with such a noble background, if she stays by my side, she will definitely be able to be qualified for the position of queen." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Queen Xiao, but she still had that gentle look on her face, and she was not much moved. Everyone was shocked, and saw that the emperor patted the hand of Empress Xiao beside him, and said: "But I already have a beloved queen, and I can't bear to wronged this beauty, so it's better to ......."

His words paused on his lips, and the hearts of all the people were lifted up. Could it be that the emperor wants to give this beauty to his subordinates?

Degu glanced at Nagari, who signaled him to be calm and said with a smile: "Langhuan has come to Da'an, so he naturally obeys His Majesty's arrangement." ”

The first beauty of the hundred allies called "Langhuan" moved her beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but glance at Nagari, who was laughing and talking, but she didn't have any words. Everyone's attention couldn't help but fall back on the emperor, and heard him say: "Third brother, Langhuan is the daughter of the Delk clan of Baimeng, and her status is noble, I will give her to you as a princess, do you have any objections?" ”

Ji Erlan's fingers trembled slightly, and he looked at the figure opposite.

The atmosphere in the main hall fell silent for a while, and everyone exchanged glances, not knowing what kind of answer King Du would make.

Yang Wei was dressed in a dark robe, which made him have a noble temperament and a detached demeanor. The usual cold complexion on his face is unapproachable. But he was born with an attraction and oppressive force beyond ordinary people, which made Jue involuntarily want to approach, but he felt that he did not dare to make a mistake.

But in any case, he was never able to get past the emperor.

Yang Zhen slowly raised his head, looked past the crowd, and looked behind Bo Jin. Ji Erlan was a little anxious, she was afraid that Yang Zhen would refuse in public. In that case, he will definitely fall into a passive situation, so that the Queen Mother's mother and son will seize the opportunity to eat him dry! However, if he agrees, then she and he ......

Ji Erlan gritted her teeth and looked back at the past with a determined gaze......

Yang Zheng felt something in her heart, such a gaze, except for her, it would not be anyone else, did she let herself agree? There seemed to be a cold galaxy flowing in his heart, and he knew that she didn't care about him, she just wanted him to live. He lifted the corners of his lips, got up to face the emperor, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the courtiers ...... you."
