Chapter 53 Under the Sour Jujube Tree The girl's mind is hard to guess

It's been a while since the capture of the Immortal Monarch, and there has been a calm in the Jingshi, and most people are immersed in the atmosphere of preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Jiang Bing is still busy every day, after the Emperor killed himself, the prince of the Buta tribe who was imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple was also poisoned and assassinated, although the case was closed, but there were many places to speculate.

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived, and the elder brother will come back after attending the Zhongyuan Poetry Meeting in the academy, and the officials and relatives of the officials above the fifth rank in the court are invited to the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet held by the emperor.

Since the last time I saw the jade rat in the arrest operation, there has been no news of their master and apprentice.

In the evening

Liluo was walking alone in the palace gate with a maid at this time, led by a father-in-law surnamed Jin, because her father was temporarily called to Dali Temple to deal with important matters, Shen Xitong had already left the house one step earlier, and she had to go to the palace alone.

This was her first time in the palace, and she was very apprehensive, but she did not secretly concentrate on it, for fear that she would make a mistake and lose her sense of proportion.

On an uninhabited palace road, Liluo suddenly heard a young girl's silver bell-like laughter coming from the palace wall not far from her, and the girl seemed to be a little softly angry, "Second Brother Ning, look, look, this side, this side is bigger." ”

Liluo thought about which girl in the palace it was, because she didn't want to meet with this person, she hurriedly lowered her head and walked forward, and the girl's voice came again, "Second Brother Ning, you are too stupid, you can't pick this up." ”

The man from Second Brother Ning only hehe, "You stinky girl, come to bully me again." "The relationship between the two sounds very close.

The girl continued, "Second Brother Ning, hurry up, I want to eat the biggest sour date on the tree." ”

The man replied helplessly, "Okay, I'll pick it for you." ”

Liluo had already noticed that the man's voice was Ning Yi, she lowered her head a little embarrassed, and said to Zimi and Cherry behind her, "Let's go quickly." ”

Sensing the sound of footsteps walking by, Princess Wu Ning stretched out her head curiously, "Gonggong Jin, who are you carrying behind you?" ”

Gonggong Jin hurriedly replied, "Her Royal Highness the princess, it is Jiang Liluo, the daughter of Lord Jiang of Shaoqing Jiang of Dali Temple." ”

Liluo wanted to avoid this scene, but she didn't expect to be stopped halfway, so she had to salute in response, "The little girl Jiang Liluo greeted Her Royal Highness the princess and met Ning Gongzi. ”

Princess Wuning walked over with some curiosity, she is the pearl of today's saint, born to Concubine Tong, ranked fourth, and her title is "Wuning".

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival wedding banquet, Princess Wuning wore a pomegranate red Bixia Luo, and wore a pair of golden begonia beads and flowers in her hair and sideburns, which looked bright and eye-catching, she circled around the pear, and looked at her with some envy and curiosity in her eyes.

After reading it, she said in an arrogant tone, "You are Jiang Liluo." Seeing that Riluo nodded, she said again, "Tell me, am I beautiful or are you beautiful?" ”

Hearing this question, Liluo wanted to cry a little without tears, she condensed her heart and said quietly, "The princess's natural posture is naturally beyond the reach of courtiers. After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Princess Wuning's expression, and she didn't seem to be very happy, but a little impatient, maybe she heard too much flattery on weekdays.

Ning Yi looked at this scene with some embarrassment, he had just been called by the eunuch to beat sour dates for Princess Wuning, he felt that something was wrong, it turned out that this princess was here to set him up, seeing that she was still embarrassed, he whispered on the side, "It's not too early, let's go to the banquet." ”

Wu Ning turned her face, she didn't seem to want to let go of Jiang Liluo, she had already heard in the palace that a beautiful young lady had come to the Shen Mansion, and she came over today to embarrass her.

Rilo had no choice but to pick up and say, "It's just," Riro looked a little speechless and stopped.

"It's just what, if you have something to say, you just say it, and this princess won't punish you." Princess Wuning still said proudly in front of Liluo.

The princess's left cheek was slightly red, as if she was allergic. Riro replied softly.

Princess Wuning has a fair face since she was a child, but she is often prone to allergies, and when she heard Liluo say this, she said a little unconsciously, "I've been like this since I was a child, I can't help it." She suddenly glanced at Liluo, and saw that her skin was fair, white and red, exuding a girl's unique luster, so she asked, "What kind of skin care do you usually use?" ”

Thinking that all women in the world are the same, Liluo suddenly felt that this Princess Wuning was quite cute, she replied, "Liluo has been taught some skin care methods by her mother since she was a child, if Her Royal Highness the princess is interested, I will extract a copy at home another day and send it to the princess." However, everyone's skin is different, and the princess can refer to it appropriately according to her own situation. ”

Princess Wu Ning nodded with some satisfaction after hearing this, "You are quite interesting, I like it." The evening party was about to begin, so I went first. After speaking, she turned her head to Ning Yi and said, "Second Brother Ning, let's go." ”

Ning Yi wanted to wait for Liluo to be together, but when he saw Liluo lowering his head and deliberately avoiding his eyes, he was even more annoyed when she saw that she was playing sour dates with Princess Wuning, so he had to say to this Jin Gonggong, "Miss Jiang doesn't know the road to the palace, so she bothers Jin Gonggong." ”

Father-in-law Jin hurriedly replied, "Where, where." ”

After speaking, Ning Yi sighed slightly and followed Princess Wu Ning forward.

At this time, Liluo's expression still did not change, and she didn't look annoyed at all, as if she didn't take it to heart at all.

Cherry followed behind Liluo, looking at the backs of Princess Wuning and Ning Gongzi gradually walking away, if it weren't for the palace, she couldn't wait to stand up and say now, this Ning Gongzi is really too careful, is he so good friends with every woman?

Thinking of this, Cherry felt deeply worthless for her own young lady.

"Let's go too," Liluo's voice came slightly, sounding nothing out of the ordinary.

Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace

The banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival was set up in the Taihe Hall of the palace, and when the pear fell, the banquet hall was already full of people, so she quietly walked over and sat next to Shen Xitong.

Shen Xitong saw the pear falling, smiled embarrassedly, and said that he forgot to call her when he went out today, and the pear fell only nodded.

The banquet was divided into an inner court and an outer court, and the inner court was filled with officials of the fifth rank and above in the court, as well as members of the royal family, who were dressed in banquet robes today, and had begun to mingle.

The outer courtyard is the family of the official, divided into male and female seats, because to achieve the effect of universal celebration, so there is only an empty court in the middle, and there is no screen.

The performances of the banquet were one after another, and while everyone was drinking, they got up and congratulated the prince, looking happy.

Liluo saw some wine and some snacks on her table, for some reason, she remembered the scene between Ning Yi and Princess Wuning just now, and she was still a little panicked, she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it to herself.

After drinking a small cup, a father-in-law's male duck voice sounded, "The Holy Lord has arrived!" ”

After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another, saluted to the Holy Lord, and said, "Holy Ten Thousand Blessings!" ”

Liluo saw that an old man in a golden robe looked quite kind and said loudly, "All Aiqing are flat, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, enjoy with all Aiqing, don't be restrained." The emperor suddenly thought that the difficulty of the Zhongyuan Festival this time, thanks to the joint defense of Dali Temple and the Imperial Forest Army, had to find out the real culprit "Hades" behind the scenes, so he continued, "This time the difficulty of the Beijing Division, thank you to all the ministers for relieving your worries, and all the ministers are rewarded!" ”

The people below immediately thanked the Lord Long with trepidation.

The silk and bamboo wind music played, and many dancers who were waiting on the side poured into the dance floor to show their posture.

The ministers continued to raise their faces, and all of them looked extremely happy.

Liluo looked around, almost all of them were people she didn't know, except for Qin Shiyu and Ouyang Qingluo, who were sitting not far away, and Han Shuyao, who had met once, to her surprise, generally speaking, the courtiers were sitting in the outer court, except for Ning Yu, the daughter of General Ning, who was favored today, sitting next to her father.

However, Pei Jia of Pei's Mansion also sat in the inner courtyard, she sat next to Pei Guifei, thinking about it, the rumors that Pei Jia was going to become the princess of Jin did not come out of nowhere, but the two did not look as close as they imagined.

Ning Yi was sitting not far from Shen Muzhou, looking like a personable son, he kept drinking to himself, and he drank very quickly.

When Liluo looked over, Ning Yi's eyes seemed to have looked over as well, and Liluo immediately lowered her head and pretended to eat pastries.

After a round, the sound of the wind music stopped abruptly, and the ministers got up one after another to use all their talents to say some nice auspicious words to the emperor.

After everyone finished speaking, Prince Jinglan glanced at Ning Yu, who was sitting not far away, tonight's banquet, the reason why the saint was so happy is that General Ning Wu, the prince of Ningguo, has made another military exploit.

Jing Lan drank the remaining wine in the cup, walked to the center of the courtyard, and solemnly saluted the emperor, "Father, Lan Zhi has a reluctant invitation tonight. ”

At this time, the emperor was in a very good mood, looking at Jing Lan's generous and calm appearance, no longer as cowardly as before, he said with some relief, "This time the Beijing master is in trouble, you have made great contributions, just say what you have, and the emperor will definitely satisfy you." ”

In fact, the emperor still loves this prince in his heart, but when the ancient queen was alive, her temperament was too cold, and other concubines were eager to say all the good things to keep him, but she was different, after more than ten years of marriage, they often made trouble because of some trivial things.

Queen Gu has never been able to bear it because he is the emperor, the feelings have faded like this, recently thinking about it, in fact, he and the Gu family are the real love of the wife, so there are some ordinary husband and wife feelings, since the death of Queen Gu for a period of time, he often thinks of her goodness.

"Lan Zhi has reached the age of marriage, the greatest wish of the mother before her death is also to hope that her sons and ministers will get married as soon as possible, today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Lan Zhi implores his father to give him marriage!" As soon as Jing Lan's words came out, all the ministers whispered secretly, you must know that the position of the crown princess of the East Palace is very important.

There are two people in the audience who are also extremely nervous at the moment, one is Ning Yu, during this time she asked Jinglan to go out for horse racing from time to time, and there was more and more tacit understanding between the two, and she even forgot that Jing Lan and Han Shuyao had a relationship.

The other is Han Shuyao, she kept drinking, pretending not to care, but she still couldn't help but listen with her ears.

"Oh, I don't know if I have a candidate in mind?" The emperor generously replied that he did ignore this son.

"Lan Zhi, but there is a candidate in my heart, and I hope that my father will be fulfilled." Jing Lan said a little nervously, "This person is on the field now. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Oh, I don't know which daughter makes my son favorite?" ”

"Ning Yu, the daughter of Ning Guogong." Jing Lan said loudly, he looked at Ning Yu with both eyes, there was a different kind of tenderness in his eyes, Ning Yu also looked at Jing Lan at the moment, her reddish face was dripping, she had already decided in her heart, she loved Jing Lan, hopelessly, even if the future of the two was confusing, even if the future was thousands of mountains and rivers, she was willing.

The general Ning Wu looked at Jing Lan in shock, and suddenly looked at the expression of his beloved daughter beside him, she was looking at Jing Lan with full attention, with a little girlish shyness, and a little expectation, he suddenly understood something.

The emperor saw the expressions of the young man on it, and immediately understood what was going on in his heart, he gave Ning Wu a look, and Ning Wu also nodded silently, Jing Lan is indeed not the best candidate for a husband, but since his daughter is tempted, he is not good at brushing the saint's face.

Seeing that the Ning family had no opinion, the emperor was extremely happy to give his eldest son a marriage. The ministers had already felt that the emperor's balance had tilted in favor of Jinglan, and the ministers hurriedly congratulated the emperor Jinglan and the Ning family.

There are only two ministers, who are happy on the face, but in their hearts they are already full of mixed tastes and surging, these are Pei Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Long Tu, the minister of the cabinet.

After Han Shuyao heard the emperor's marriage, she immediately fainted on the spot, because her maid reacted in time, and they were in the corner, so they didn't cause much fluctuation and quietly retreated.

After the emperor finished giving food, Princess Wuning suddenly stood up and said loudly to everyone, "Father, I also want to ask for marriage." ”

When Liluo heard this, she suddenly felt a sigh in her heart, thinking of the object of Princess Wuning's marriage, could it be Ning Yi, Liluo thought that Ning Yi, as the concubine of the princess, did have this qualification.

She looked at the wine in front of her, drank it all in one gulp, and ate it all into her stomach.

Shen Xitong seemed to see something, and she grabbed the pear slightly with her hand.

Pear fell aside and whispered, "Cousin, I'm fine." She continued to pour herself a glass of wine, which she had heard was from the Western Regions. The taste is slightly astringent, and it is tugging at the stomach.

After drinking, Liluo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she took a large piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. Ning Yi looked at Liluo from a distance, looking at her very worried.

"Which son did my Ning'er fall in love with?" The emperor has always favored Wu Ning.

Princess Wuning looked around, many sons avoided her eyes, this princess is notoriously rude and willful, and after becoming a concubine, she is basically hopeless with her career.

Ning Yi seemed to know the result, and still drank to himself.

In front of everyone, she suddenly pointed to the national teacher Lang Qingfeng and said, "I want to ask for marriage and marry Lang Qingfeng." ”

When Rika heard this, the pastry instantly jammed in her throat, causing her to cough incessantly.

In the lonely air, only the sound of her coughing could be heard, and curious eyes followed, and she felt very embarrassed, and took a big sip of the wine before swallowing it.

Why, this thing was completely unexpected.

How could Princess Wuning like Lang Qingfeng? From the beginning, she always thought that the person the princess liked was Ning Yi.

Liluo unconsciously looked at Ning Yi, who seemed to have understood something, and was looking at her with a smile from a distance.

Liluo hurriedly turned around, refusing to raise her eyes again to look at Ning Yi again.

She was a little worried that she was very rude just now and would not be remembered by anyone with a heart.

Didn't wait for the emperor to say anything? Lang Qingfeng stepped down from his seat and saluted the emperor, his voice was a little serious, but almost everyone present heard it clearly, "As a national teacher, you can't marry a wife, I hope the princess will take back her life." ”

"Don't think that because I don't read much, you lie to me." Princess Wuning walked to Lang Qingfeng's side and said loudly, "As far as I know, there are extremely many Taoists in the Zhengyi Sect who marry wives and have children, and you are not inferior to Lang Qingfeng. ”

"Someone else is someone else, and I am me. From the moment Qingfeng decided to join Taoism, he never considered marrying a wife and having children, but only wished to rest assured of Taoism for the rest of his life, delved into it, and never considered family affairs. Lang Qingfeng still said with an awe-inspiring face.

His words also broke the hearts of many women present instantly.

You must know that compared with all the decent young and unmarried men present, Lang Qingfeng's handsomeness is also the only one in the world.

The pear was unwilling to fall into the love between these men and women, so he changed the excuse that he wanted to go to the toilet, took the maid, and walked out of the Taiji Hall to breathe outside.

"Childe, Miss Jiang has completely ignored you." Duan Er, who was standing behind Ning Yi, said secretly to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi could only sit where he was, looking in disbelief at the direction in which the blue shadow had disappeared.
