Chapter 55: Gentleness is no more

"If you don't tell lies in front of Ming people, you don't have to explain." Hong Ying was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly picked up the lotus seed soup and took a sip, saying: "The lotus seed soup in the palace is sweet and a little bitter, but it is not quite the same as the Xiangfu. ”

Jin Xiangxiang's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and he said quietly: "Because in the palace, no matter where you are, there is a bitter taste, even the cook in the imperial dining room has that bitterness, and I don't know who to tell it to." ”

Hongying seems to understand something, but what does the suffering in the palace have to do with her? She looked at Jin Xiangxiang puzzled, Jin Xiangxiang smiled, and said: "This palace just hopes that Sister Hongying can understand me, and don't be angry with me again." "If Jin Chu can marry her, she won't have to worry about Hong Ying having an affair with Chu Luo! So in the case that she can't get rid of her, she will naturally help her younger brother with all her heart.

Hong Ying was a little confused, Jin Xiangxiang's attitude suddenly improved, she always felt that she was either a traitor or a thief, and she couldn't sleep all night. It was only at night that she remembered what the concubine said about the ghosts in the palace, and if one son made a mistake, she lost everything. I couldn't help but cheer up the spirit of twelve, and stared until dawn.

Early the next morning, Jin Ming summoned her to the dormitory. I don't know why, from Jin Ming's eyes, she saw a trance of affection, she wasn't sure who he was looking at in his misty eyes, and she wasn't sure if all the good things he treated her were because of the former queen Chu Feifei?

"Like, like!" Jin Ming said while looking at it, as he spoke, he coughed lightly again, and Hong Ying stubbornly resisted the emperor's coercion, smoothed his breath for him, and said, "Your Majesty, ......"

"Father, okay?" Jin Ming's eyes were burning, and she suddenly said a sentence that choked Hong Ying, and she didn't understand, why do powerful men in the world like to hear her call them father? Isn't she born to be the daughter of the people of the world?

Looking at Jin Ming's expectant gaze, Hong Ying didn't want to disobey a patient's plea, so she called him stiffly: "Father... Father. Jin Ming listened, closed his eyes with satisfaction, and said, "What is the habit of living in the palace?" Have you eaten breakfast? If you have something you like, let your father-in-law bag it back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for you, and treat this palace as your own home, with me protecting you, don't worry. ”

"......" Hongying didn't understand, why the emperor who met her in Pingshui would treat her so kindly? But Jin Ming thought that Hong Ying and Fei Fei were somewhat similar in appearance, with Hong Yingluo picked up from nowhere, even if she was not Fei Fei's biological daughter, she might have a great relationship with Fei Fei, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?

As for whether Chu Feifei gave birth to a man or a woman back then, no one knew except for the midwife, and even he just took a quick look at it and gave him a red Yingluo, who knew that when he saw it, it would be a farewell.

He also privately investigated Hong Ying's birth history, but her father and mother both returned to the west, and the people in the countryside were not left because of the flood, who can really prove Hong Ying's birthday?

Even if this factor is not considered, the importance that the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion attach to Hongying is worthy of him to her. And Jin Chu, the son of King Pingnan, also seems to have taken a fancy to Hongying, if it is used well, Hongying's card is very likely to be a trump card.

He has never really trusted King Pingnan, let alone Chu Qingxiang and Sima Wuya, who swore allegiance to him, as long as he balances the two forces when his mind is still sober, pushes Jin Tian to power, and protects the peace of the world!

On Chinese New Year's Eve, because there were very few female dependents in the palace, and Jin Ming did not want to disturb this universal festival because of his body, so he asked the chief eunuch to arrange the night banquet for Chinese New Year's Eve according to the old calendar, and invited important ministers to allow them to bring their female dependents into the palace to participate in the celebration.

The dazzling fireworks burst into illuminating the entire cool harem, such a strong fireworks and thunderous sound, no matter how magnificent it is, but it can't warm the hands of the palace people who have long been frozen in their hearts, nor can they warm people's hearts.

In the palace of Taihe Palace, a pair of red dragon and phoenix embroidered brilliant brocade hangs high in the air, showing peace and prosperity, and Jin Ming is also sick, reclining on the soft couch, in front of him, there are dozens of stoves in the waiter, so he does not feel cold.

On the left side of Jin Ming is Jin Xiangxiang who is wearing a red bandeau palace dress, combing the flowing cloud bun, and the snow-white pearls connected in series are dotted in the meantime, like stars in the night sky, shining. The swaying golden steps, like the moon in the moon held by the stars, made her look magnificent.

And Hong Ying won Jin Ming's holy favor and sat on his right side, which is a special honor, she is also wearing a red robe, but it is different from Jin Xiangxiang's dignified, with more lively belts on the cuffs, combing the girl's cloud bun, and a few strands of green silk hanging on both sides of the ear, looking young and delicate, even more charming than Jin Xiangxiang on the left.

It's just that in the eyes of the minister, Jin Xiangxiang looks more like a dignified queen, and no matter how she looks at it, she looks like a beautifully dressed concubine!

On the minister's seat, the family of King Pingnan sat on the left side, Jin Huai sat at the head with his favorite concubine, and Jin Chu and Jin Bingbing each sat down; Chu Qingxiang and Lu Shanshan sat together on the right, and after Chu Luo, there was the Sima family, because since history, there has been a convention, and the status of civil officials is always higher than that of military officials, so it is also a tradition for Wen Xiang to sit in the front row.

Because the concubine said that she was unwell, it was inconvenient to go out and pollute the eyes of the ministers, so she did not come, as for Jin Tian, she sent a letter saying that she was going to spend the festival with the beauty tonight, Jin Ming just smiled and didn't bother him.

And Jin Tian and the concubine, who were dressed in the clothes of the inner servants, were walking in the remote palace alleys at the moment, and Jin Tian asked the concubine how to improve her charm and other questions.

At the palace banquet, Jin Ming said some polite words, and then ordered the imperial dining room to have a banquet, Kabuki stepped forward, the colorful sleeves swayed, the vocal music was loud, and the ministers exchanged their heads and ears, not knowing what they were saying.

Sima Yan glanced at the boring red Ying who was knocking on the plate, covered his lips and smiled: "I knew that the red warbler was not used to life in the palace. ”

Sima Yue stepped on him and said, "Second brother, if you have nothing to do, just look at Hongying's chest, I feel ashamed to be at the table with you." ”

"If you don't look at her, do you look at you?" As he spoke, he glanced at his sister's chest meaningfully, and he could see that it was really a peaceful and prosperous world!

Sima Yue stepped on him again and said, "Brother, please be a little ashamed, I'm ashamed to share the table with you." After that, she went to Chu Luo's table, after all, Chu Luo looked strange and lonely alone.

Sima Yan innocently shouted behind her back: "Hey, I'm just joking!" Please, you're my sister, you can't let my brother lose face, right? ”

Sima Ting's eagle eyes swept over Sima Yan, and Sima Yan immediately shut up.

Xiangye and Lu Shanshan just glanced at them, and then they both frowned, if they guessed correctly, isn't Sima Yue like Gu Siming's child? How could he take the initiative to sit with Chu Luo?

Chu Luo also said strangely: "Could it be that the dishes on your table are not delicious?" He had been paying attention to Hongying all the time, and it wasn't until Sima Yue sat over that he settled down and asked.

"No matter how good the food is, you won't be able to eat it if there's a guy with a bad appetite sitting next to you." Sima Yue complained weakly. If her second brother can have half the stability of her eldest brother, she would rather be reincarnated as a man!

Chu Luo smiled knowingly and said, "Perhaps, he's really just joking, don't be angry with him." ”

Sima Yue had no choice but to pout, puffing up and watching the song and dance.

At the end of the dance, Jin Xiangxiang suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Father, the sons and daughters have specially rehearsed a dance for this Spring Festival, hoping to share it with the ministers, I don't know ......."

Jin Ming just smiled, making it impossible to see the depth of his eyes, and said: "Xiangxiang has talent to show, and it is also to show my royal demeanor, how can my father not allow it, quasi-play!" ”

Jin Xiangxiang bowed, thanked him, and went to change his clothes......

At the moment when Jin Xiangxiang spoke, Hong Ying's eyes involuntarily wandered on Chu Luo's face again, and her eyes met her, and her pretty face was flushed and lowered her head. Chu Luo was also busy hiding the panic in his eyes.

Sima Ting and Jin Chuju both saw the eyes of Hong Ying, who had been working hard, but they weren't sure who the person in her eyes was?

didn't wait long, Jin Xiangxiang wore a pale yellow smoke Luo dance skirt, a golden brocade belt, tied her unbearable slender waist tightly, draped in a golden shawl, only held the two ends of the shawl in her hand, pinched out the orchid fingers, she smiled at everyone: "Xiangxiang is ugly!" ”

The posture is moving, graceful and graceful, talking and laughing, only less worldly etiquette. There is nowhere to find the elegance of the cut off generation, and only the fiber wind projection falls like dust. A flower mole dotted with cinnabar in the center of her eyebrows is embedded in her red face as white as snow, proud of the red plum in the winter cold.

She gently hung the shawl on the red carpet, the willow eyebrows were pretty, the wonderful eyes rippled, the slender jade fingers were lightly picked, and the waist suddenly swirled, like a yellow peony, magnificently blooming...... With yellow flowers on her temples, a pleated skirt at her waist, and a silver bell on her ankles, she spun into a delicate dance...... or slow like a light cloud, or like a whirlwind...... Suddenly stopped, quiet as a virgin choking with Yuefu, suddenly moving like a rabbit with a piece of music excited, eyebrows frowned, as if there was nowhere to complain; Smiling cheeks, and smelling the clattering hooves of horses, I thought that I was happy to return, and then I was lonely, it was disappointment or despair...... One skin, one look, all the best!

The music stopped abruptly, Jin Xiangxiang jumped forward, the dance skirt swirled, the shawl swayed, like falling flowers merged into the soil, and stopped!

She ended with the most wonderful dance, bowed like everyone, and smiled proudly: "The dance is unbearable, I hope the ministers don't want to laugh!" ”

This is the first time Hong Ying has seen her dance, the dancing is not bad, she can never compare, she set her eyes on Chu Luo, only to see him buried in eating, and did not pay attention to Jin Xiangxiang who danced on the red carpet.

Somehow, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Jin Xiangxiang looked forward to seeing Chu Luo, he was deeply stung by his ruthlessness! Who sighed deeply in the years, the former teenager, gentle no more!
