Chapter 34: The Palace Banquet 1
No matter what Mu Ziluo thinks, the banquet is still coming as scheduled, but these days in the capital, there are many young ladies who have never been out of the house to buy new headdresses, probably preparing to shine at the palace banquet, so as to have a wishful husband, after all, the palace banquet in the palace has gathered many handsome and excellent young men from the family, and no one will have such an opportunity.
Liuli was helping Mu Ziluo to make up, and Liuxiang stayed quietly in the corner of the room, speaking of which, she hadn't asked them how they prepared for the forces she wanted to carry out in the dark night for some days, and she only ordered them to find someone who could use them, and she hadn't even thought of a name, and her master was too derelict in her duties.
Now that the banquet is over, it's time for some things to get on the right track.
Mu Ziluo, who was dressed up, got up, and Mu Qingyuan was already waiting for her at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The palace banquet is in the evening, and it is just right to go now.
When she came to the gate of the palace, Mu Ziluo saw a lot of carriages, all of which were entering the palace gate through the inspection of the guards, and it was Mu Ziluo's turn to enter the carriage, and Mu Ziluo and Mu Qingyuan got out of the carriage one after another.
Like Mu Qingyuan is the official position of the prime minister, there is a special seat in the banquet, and Mu Ziluo follows Mu Qingyuan to sit in the seat that belongs to them.
Many people in the banquet were secretly looking at Mu Ziluo, after all, in the past, Prime Minister Mu Qingyuan came to participate in this kind of palace banquet alone, and the matter of Mu Ziluo was rumored, and there were many people who had not seen Mu Ziluo's true face in Lushan, and those young masters and young ladies who followed their parents did not say that they looked at Mu Ziluo, and they even whispered underneath.
Mu Ziluo was stunned the whole time, without superfluous expressions, turning a blind eye to those who talked about her, and didn't need to care about those people at all.
"The emperor has arrived." Outside the main hall, there was a shrill cry of the chamberlain.
Emperor Mo led a group of concubines into the main hall, and near him were the queen and the protagonist of tonight, Zhuo Guifei, and behind him were several concubines who were ranked in the concubine position.
Mu Ziluo looked at Zhuo Guifei and the empress beside the emperor.
Zhuo Guifei Zhuo Jingyi is already a half-old, but she is still like a flower letter in her youth. Wearing a magnificent pink Bixia Luo, a pink mopping smoke cage peony flower baishui skirt, a high silk Wangxian nine mustaches, obliquely inserted gold blood jade phoenix tail butterfly golden hairpin, the right rose crystal and Tilian Begonia winged jade luan step shake hairpin, gold inlaid jade fan-shaped hairpin as a lining, there are several butterfly hairpins embellishment. The makeup on her face is delicate and charming, and there is a little cinnabar on her forehead, which makes her a little charming.
Zhuo Guifei was born in the Sanpin Dingbang General's Mansion, which can be described as a wealthy family, and the Zhuo family has made many achievements in war, and is quite trusted by Emperor Mo, which is also the reason why she is favored.
Compared with the queen next to the emperor, she is obviously much more noble than Zhuo Guifei, dressed in the corresponding Ming Huang palace dress with the emperor, with a mopping shawl of Fengfei for nine days behind her, a head-to-sky mustache, a red gold phoenix tail agate tassel inserted in her hair, and an agate jade hairpin on the left and right as embellishments.
Although the queen is beautiful, there is always a smile on the corner of her mouth, but Mu Ziluo can see the loneliness and unwillingness in her eyes, as the master of the harem, the emperor is not favored, and no matter how high the position is, it is in vain.
Emperor Mo sat on the dragon chair, and Empress Zhuo Guifei was divided into two sides.
The ministers all knelt down in their seats and saluted Emperor Mo: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
Emperor Mo nodded: "All Aiqing are flat, today is the birthday of Concubine Ai, Aiqing just have to be happy." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The banquet only officially began at this time, the bewitching singer came in to dance, the banquet was lively and popular, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, and the banquet was staggered, and it was a happy and harmonious appearance.
The ministers got closer to each other, and greeted each other perfunctorily, but the young ladies of each family could not hide their excitement between their eyebrows, looking left and right, such a scene, Mu Ziluo was so bored that she dozed off.
Suddenly, Mu Ziluo felt a sharp gaze looking at her, turned around, and saw Pei Yuan on the other side staring at her, and the other party nodded when she saw her, which was regarded as a hello.
Mu Ziluo was lazy to pay attention to her, when she didn't see it, Pei Yuan was stupid, and hated in her heart: Okay, you Mu Ziluo, you made a fool of yourself by the lake last time, and now you dare to ignore her so much, it's too much.
In order to alleviate the sleepiness, Mu Ziluo looked towards the emperor, close to the position of the emperor's head, several young handsome young men, guessing that it should be the emperor's son, and then looked at Luo Jiwen, who was still wearing a bright red Luo Jiwen did not change his appearance as a ruffian, and threw his eyebrows at Mu Ziluo, Mu Ziluo sweated, and turned his eyes back to look at him.
It's a pity that Jing Che didn't come.
Mu Ziluo found that she wanted Jing Che strangely, but she was also relieved, the palace held a banquet, and the Jing'an Palace was also on the invitation list, even higher than the rank of the prince, but Jing Che had stopped participating in various banquets since he was injured at the age of eight, and the emperor also had a concession.
Xu was to refute what Mu Ziluo thought in his heart, at the entrance of the main hall, Jing Che came in with a wheelchair pushed by the dark sun, and his face was gentle and humble.
As soon as Jing Che came out, the audience was in an uproar. Dressed in white, his eyebrows are picturesque, shining like a dazzling sun, even if he sits in a special wheelchair, it is difficult to hide his fairy demeanor, which makes people look fascinated.
Mu Ziluo came back to her senses and exclaimed, why is Jing Che here?
His eyes followed Jing Che, only to see Jing Che come to the emperor, due to his inconvenience, he just sat in a wheelchair and bent down slightly, waved his hands, and said: "Minister, Jing'an King Jing Che knocks on Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed." ”
Seeing Jing Che, Emperor Mo was stunned for a moment, and after a while, Emperor Mo stood up, walked to Jing Che's side in person, helped him with his hands pinned to his forehead, and said, "Why are you here, is your body okay?" ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, Jing Che is fine." Jing Che was as warm as jade, and said lightly.
The emperor arranged Jing Che above a group of officials, the place closest to him, and the favored Luo Jiwen was beside him, which was an incomparably noble honor, but Jing Che could afford the position.
As if feeling Mu Ziluo's gaze, Jing Che turned his head slowly, and Mu Ziluo slammed into Jing Che's glass-colored pupils with a single glance, and Mu Ziluo's heart trembled.
For some reason, I felt strange in my heart, and hurriedly withdrew my gaze and looked at the snacks on the table.
Jing Che frowned slightly, he didn't know why Mu Ziluo suddenly ignored him, but this was in the palace, and he didn't look at her very well, so he also looked at the wine glass on the table, picked up the wine glass with a sharp hand, and took a sip.
In the middle of the banquet, the queen proposed to let the ladies show themselves and entertain the atmosphere of the banquet, so as to take this opportunity to see what talents the ladies had, and this move was immediately praised by the emperor.
"Which lady is willing to come up and show her talent?" The queen asked nobly.
Pei Yuanlian stepped forward step by step, and thought about it slightly: "Courtier Pei Yuan, I am willing to be the first to perform my talent." ”
Mu Ziluo looked at Pei Yuan, the queen is Pei Yuan's aunt, I am afraid that this performance has already passed each other secretly, I am afraid that it is because of the birthday of Zhuo Guifei, the queen does not want Zhuo Guifei to be in the limelight, but she is embarrassed to suppress it, so she let Pei Yuan earn this limelight.
The queen looked at Pei Yuan who stood up, looked appreciative, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the niece of the concubine, it is better to let her start, maybe she has the courage to start."
The Emperor nodded: "Yes." ”
Pei Yuan stood in the center of the hall, posed, the musician played music, Pei Yuan suddenly jumped in the air, the water sleeves were thrown away, the sleeves danced, as if there were countless petals fluttering down in the air, swaying, a petal, falling to the ground. It turned out that she had a lot of petals hidden in her sleeves. Pei Yuan's body was as soft as a cloud, her arms were as soft as bonesless, and she danced like a lotus flower step by step, making everyone's eyes straight.
