Volume 1 The Orphan Girl in the Imperial Capital Chapter 58 Ambitious
On February 29, the spring breeze was warm and the sky was clear.
Mu Yunlan stood behind the old lady Geng and the eldest lady Qi, and raised her eyes to look at the endless worship procession.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
The sound of respectful worship resounded throughout the imperial city, and the emperor's majesty was like the sky, making people dare not look directly.
Suddenly, Mu Yunlan heard a steady footsteps.
She jerked her head up and looked at the Nine Five Eagle Dragon steps that were high above.
Yue Jingxuan walked up the steps step by step with his hands in his hands, and the white jade crown on his head was tied with his hair, like ink hair blowing in the wind, only showing everyone the back of the white clothes flying and not stained with fine dust.
He walked up and stood at the top of the steps, behind him was an auspicious cloud carved with a soaring golden dragon, and he stood at the top, as if he had trampled the five-clawed golden dragon under his feet.
Yue Jingyun sat on the throne and accepted everyone's kneeling, looking at the children of the clan, the civil and military officials, and the female dependents who bowed down respectfully and touched their heads to the bottom...... I just feel that the world is attached and the four seas are concentric.
Suddenly, he saw Yue Jingxuan's figure, and the arrogance in his heart suddenly disappeared, and the fingers on the armrest of the dragon head slowly tightened, eager to crush the dragon head under his hand.
Yue Jingxuan, a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh! For more than two months, he sent people to test one after another, but Yue Jingxuan was like a ball of cotton, you punched him in the past, he acted as if nothing happened, and then hit back as it was.
During this period, several officials of the DPRK and China who participated in him were found to have all kinds of problems one after another, ranging from dismissal and dismissal to the fall of their heads.
He choked on his throat like that, day by day, he always felt that he didn't know when Yue Jingxuan would choke his throat, just like he did at the beginning.
Yue Jingxuan had a gentle smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze at a glance. He leaned over and saluted, and his clear voice spread gently, resounding throughout the hall: "Brother Huang, brother I wish you a good day every year, and a good day every year." ”
This is the first time he has officially saluted him since returning to the imperial capital!
Yue Jingyun's heart moved suddenly, seeing his soft movements, he was a little uncomfortable, he pinched the armrest hard, and stood up with a smile: "Fifteenth brother is exempt, with your blessing, the imperial brother is very relieved." ”
He walked to the door of the temple and looked at the people kneeling on the ground: "All the kings are flat!" ”
"Emperor Xie!"
Mu Yunlan got up with everyone and looked up at Yue Jingxuan, who was slightly one step behind the emperor, his face was full of gentle smiles, like a piece of warm and flawless jade, but she felt a little unpleasant. When Uncle Water Demon Emperor faced her, he was indifferent and detached......
Mu Yunlan followed Geng and Qi to sit on the arranged seats, and as soon as she sat down, she felt a gloomy gaze sweep over her. looked up and swept around the hall, and saw Concubine Jin sitting on the concubine seat, and the corners of her lips hooked silently.
In previous years, Jin Concubine, as the emperor's favorite concubine, served the emperor around the right, and now, on both sides of the throne sat the eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine Lan, and the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Li, both dressed up and smiling, and she could only sit on the concubine seat to accept everyone's gloating eyes.
It's just that she can be pampered in the palace for many years, Jin Concubine is absolutely simple, she knows what kind of posture she can use to arouse the emperor's pity.
So, after listening to everyone singing praises and accepting the first round of toasts, the emperor turned his head slightly and looked at the golden concubine under the steps full of hope.
Those eyes carried love and reverence for him, as if she was her whole world, which made people feel moved and distressed......
Yue Jingyun put down the wine cup, pointed to the stack of fresh fruits in his hand, and instructed the chief manager Zhaoqing: "Send it to Concubine Jin." ”
When Concubine Li on the side heard this command, the corners of her lips fell sharply, and she scolded with hatred in her heart: Concubine Jin, that foxy slut, has been degraded, and she is still uneasy! When she goes back, she will definitely lower the share of Yining Hall again.
Jin Concubine received the fresh fruit, her eyes became softer and softer like spring water, she got up and bowed to Yue Jingyun from afar, with a flattered expression on her face, which made Yue Jingyun feel more and more pity for her.
When the toast is over, it's time for the birthday gift.
Mu Yunlan took a sip of wine and watched with interest as the eldest prince Yue Xiaoqing stepped forward to offer a gift. After this period of time, his tooth injury seems to have healed, and now his smile is much more natural.
"Father, the son recently got a new bow, this bow is a double-string design, the power is incomparable, specially presented, for the father's birthday." Yue Xiaoqing ordered someone to send the divine bow.
The emperor stroked the bowstring with his hand and nodded with a smile: "It is indeed a good bow." ”
Yue Xiao, the second prince in the back, laughed silently: Yue Xiaoqing is really stupid in war, his father never likes bows and arrows, and he actually gave a bow at the birthday banquet, hehe, I don't know how the old horseman of the right minister Li Jing calculated for him.
When it was his turn, Yue Xiaoqing stepped forward and said loudly: "Father, this birthday gift that the son wants to offer cannot be regarded as the son of the minister. ”
Hearing Yue Xiaojiao say this, the emperor became a little interested: "How do you say this?" ”
Yue Xiaojiao clapped his hands, and an attendant carried a large shelf up.
"Father, this birthday gift was sent down by God to give to my father, but it was just borrowed from the hands of my son."
As he spoke, he lifted the red cloth on the shelf, and saw a big stone standing quietly on the shelf, and the stone was extraordinarily bright, but he couldn't see any special features.
The emperor was full of anticipation, but when he saw this, his expression faded: "What's so special about this stone?" ”
"Father, please take a closer look." Yue Xiaojiao took the candle from the hand of the attendant and slowly approached the stone.
I saw that the originally plain stone flashed with a slight phosphorescence as the candle approached, and gradually the light became brighter and brighter, gradually forming a large cursive longevity character.
"It's ...... Shou Zi ah......"
"This is auspicious from heaven!"
"Congratulations to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Everyone got up and knelt down to congratulate, and Yue Jingyun laughed loudly: "Okay, good, auspicious from the sky, the emperor has a heart, reward, reward!" ”
Yue Xiaojiao was proud in her heart, but her face was full of respect: "This is a birthday gift from God to my father, how dare my sons accept the reward?" ”
Yue Jingyun carefully admired the auspicious stone for two quarters of an hour, looked over and over again, and then returned to his seat.
Yue Xiao's birthday gift was too brilliant, so that after that, the jade pomegranate ornaments offered by the third prince Yue Xiaohan did not stir up the slightest wave.
Mu Yunlan pinched an orange petal and put it in her mouth, swept over Yue Xiaohan's face that couldn't see joy and anger, and hooked the corners of her lips mockingly: The jade pomegranate is natural, and it is also priceless, but with the auspicious rain from the sky in front, the others can't enter the emperor's eyes.
After a lot of hard work, hehe......
After that, several princes and princesses stepped forward to give gifts, but no one received the emperor's reward.
Suddenly, there was a deep exhalation sound from the side, causing Mu Yunlan to look sideways slightly.
I saw that Mu Qingyao's hands were tightly twisted, her back was straight, and her face was slightly red, with excitement and nervousness.
Mu Yunlan suddenly came to her senses, and the good show that she had been waiting for a long time was finally about to sing.
After half of the wine, Jin Concubine stood up: "Your Majesty, today is your birthday, the whole world celebrates, even the heavens have sent auspicious rui, why don't you give a chance and let others send you congratulations?" ”
Yue Jingyun raised her hand and motioned for her to step forward, and Zhaoqing was very eye-catching and asked someone to move a chair over.
In the jealousy of everyone, Jin Concubine sat down with a slightly red face.
"Tell me carefully, what chance do you give?"
Jin Concubine smiled: "The concubine is in the harem, no matter how many things are not clear, it's just that some time ago, the peacock dance was popular in the imperial capital, and the dance was like a fairy, which attracted many young ladies to learn it." The concubine heard it several times, but she didn't have a chance to see her. ”
"Isn't that a good opportunity today?" Yue Jingyun looked at the female dependent, "Is there anyone who is good at peacock dance?" ”
Mu Yunlan's eyes swept over Mu Qingyao, her nervous breathing was frozen for a moment, and after hearing the question, she folded her sleeves and stood gracefully.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers know a little bit about it."
Seeing Mu Qingyao's beautiful and peerless appearance, Yue Jingyun's spirit was shocked: "You are ......"
Concubine Jin approached slightly: "Your Majesty, this is the niece of the concubine, Mu Qingyao, the eldest granddaughter of Duke Wei." ”
Emperor Yue Jingyun was used to seeing beauties, but when he saw Mu Qingyao, who was extremely beautiful, he couldn't help but take a few more looks: "Why don't I know that you still have such a beautiful niece?" ”
Jin Concubine chuckled gently: "At the two banquets in the middle of the year, she also came over to gain a long insight, and the emperor has a lot of opportunities, even if he participates in the banquet, he is not distracted and enjoyed, and he didn't notice it." ”
Thinking of the two banquets a year ago and Chinese New Year's Eve, he was worried about Yue Jingxuan, and Mu Qingyao's position was behind, and he really didn't notice that there was such a beauty among the female relatives.
It was the woman who sat next to Yue Jingxuan and poured him wine before, he knew that it was the princess appointed by Jin Concubine for the third child, but he didn't know why he was involved with Yue Jingxuan......
Could it be that the Patriotic Mansion has other thoughts?
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since that's the case, then you can offer a dance." ”
Jin Concubine glanced at Mu Qingyao encouragingly, and nodded at her: "Don't hurry up and prepare." ”
Mu Qingyao went to the side hall to change her dress, stroking the luxurious and beautiful peacock pattern dress, her heart beat like a drum, she was extremely nervous, but there was a great ambition in the nervousness.
Today, she will amaze everyone, soar to the sky, and embark on the first step of her brilliant life!
Step by step, she will step by step to the supremacy of being a woman, trampling all those who stand in her way and crushing them into powder!
After today, Mu Yunlan is nothing, when she succeeds, you can torture her as much as you want!
She will be like the eldest princess of Huaiqing treated the concubine of the concubine, crush her bones, scrape off her flesh and blood, destroy all the people and things she cares about, and make her unable to survive or die!
