Chapter 53: The Palace Banquet (2)
Su Moran ignored these very calmly, the expression on his face was still indifferent, and he didn't see any waves!
Ling Chen, who was sitting opposite, noticed this scene, and the deep meaning in his eyes was even worse, he wanted this woman, only such a woman was worthy of him Ling Chen!
But such a smart and wise woman, if she can't get it, she can only destroy it!
Sensing Ling Chen's gaze, Su Moran looked back at the past without fear, and saw a trace of burning in his eyes, a trace of coldness flashed in Su Moran's eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he withdrew his gaze!
When his thoughts were wandering, a sharp voice unique to a eunuch sounded in Fengyajian!
"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived, and the concubine has arrived! ”
As soon as the eunuch's sharp words fell, all the people stood up and knelt down respectfully! "Long live the emperor, long live, long live! The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, and the concubine is a thousand years old! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Su Moran knelt down with everyone, although she was with Ling Ya, but she couldn't show it openly now.
There are too many opponents in Ling Ya, there are countless in the open and in the dark, they can't do anything about Ling Ya, but once they know her weakness, they will definitely not let go of this golden opportunity!
This is also the reason why after returning to the imperial capital, Ling Ya kept her distance from her in public.
After sitting on the dragon chair, Ling Xuan said with a smile, "Zhong Aiqing is flat, today's palace banquet, everyone is free to do so, there is no need to be so restrained, just sit down!" ”
Ling Xuan's voice fell, and everyone lined up together and said respectfully, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”
After getting up and sitting down, Su Moran glanced at the high platform and found that there were two women sitting next to the emperor, as expected, one was the most favored Concubine Xue recently, who was indeed beautiful and weak.
As for the other one, it is estimated that it is the Queen Mother!
The queen mother is the favorite concubine of the first emperor, when the first emperor was in power, she was given the title of precious concubine, one of the four noble concubines, but for some reason, when the first emperor was about to die, she was decreed to be named the queen, naturally, after the death of the first emperor, she became the queen mother!
Su Moran took a closer look at the Queen Mother, who was nearly forty years old but was very well maintained, looking like she was in her twenties, and she was also very beautiful!
It seems that this queen mother looks loving and easy to get along with, but Su Moran will not believe that this is the real her!
Not to mention that she can sit in the position of the queen mother step by step in this dark court with a fighting heart, just because she is Ling Chen's biological mother, Su Moran will not classify her as a kind person!
Having been in this court for a long time, all of them have put on a mask of hypocrisy!
Just when Su Moran looked at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's eyes suddenly turned to Su Moran!
Shocked, Su Moran subconsciously wanted to lower his head, but he still held back, the more this time, the more stable!
Su Moran showed a smile, and then the Queen Mother also nodded with a light smile, and then retracted her gaze!
Su Moran was secretly afraid, did this queen mother's eyes flash a trace of murderous intent just now?
The opening of the palace banquet is naturally singing and dancing, and it looks similar to modern classical dance, but this one is interesting!
Su Moran saw the woman who showed unfriendly eyes to her before stand up, walked to the center of the hall, and said with a light smile, "Today's palace banquet, the courtiers are willing to dance a song, the first wish the emperor is blessed with good fortune, and the second is to wish Donglin eternal peace, and the country and the people are safe!" ”
Hearing Pei Yao's words, Ling Xuan nodded with a light smile and said, "The first talented woman in the imperial capital dances, and all Aiqing today is blessed with eyes!" ”
When the emperor said this, all the officials below naturally echoed him, saying to each other again and again, "Yes, yes!" ”
It looks like a lively scene, but anyone with a discerning eye knows in their hearts that it's just appearances!
However, Su Moran didn't expect that the beautiful woman was the first beauty and the first talented woman in the imperial capital that Ruoyan Ruoyu said!
The title of the first beauty is worthy of its name, and it is estimated that this first talented woman is not in vain!
When the first beauty was talking in the center of the hall, her eyes inadvertently kept looking at Ling Ya, and she didn't even look at others, Su Moran was very satisfied!
Although this peach blossom has a bit of strength, Su Moran is not afraid!
After a while, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras began to sound slowly!
Pei Yao's graceful posture also danced with the slow music, but when she flicked her sleeves lightly, she was as light as falling snow in the rotation, and when she jumped up, the green silk was flying, her clothes were fluttering, and her light posture danced slowly in the graceful orchestral silk and bamboo sound, which was charming and extremely confusing!
Everyone's eyes flashed with amazement, and their gaze fell directly on Pei Yao's body.
Those officials couldn't stop nodding and exclaiming, "She is worthy of being the first talented woman in the imperial capital, and this dance is really unique!" ”
"Yes! It's so beautiful! ”
"Not only that, Miss Pei is also the first beauty in the imperial capital, Prime Minister Pei Cheng is really blessed!"
"yes!"
Listening to this compliment, a smile appeared on the corner of Su Moran's mouth, looking at the middle-aged man with a smile on his face who was sitting among those officials who were smiling and patting horses, Su Moran thought in his heart, "That should be the current Tanglin Pei Xiang Pei Zhengqing!" ”
It looks like it's upright, but as for what it really is, it's tacit!
After the dance, Pei Yaotan exhaled slightly, as if he was a little tired, but the joy and slight pride in his eyes did not escape Su Moran's eyes!
"Miss Pei is really a good heart, and she is both talented and beautiful! Come on, reward! ”
Hearing that the emperor had rewarded her early, Pei Yao showed a decent smile, and said slightly, "Courtiers thank the emperor for the reward, long live the emperor!" ”
Ling Xuan smiled and nodded, and then Pei Yao retreated, and when he passed by them, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Ling Ya with an evil and uninhibited smile again.
Ling Ya glanced at Pei Yao this time, although he only had one glance, but Su Moran saw that Pei Yao's hands were already clenched together and didn't know how to deal with him, and the blush on his face slowly emerged!
With a sneer, Su Moran automatically ignored Pei Yao, and only a very few people noticed this scene!
So except for the coldness that flashed in Ling Chen's eyes, Su Moran didn't see anyone showing a strange look!
It is said that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and it is true, a palace banquet must be cautious, step by step!
The banquet is already halfway through, and for Su Moran, her challenge is coming!
"There is another purpose of holding a palace banquet today to bring everyone together, which is to introduce a strange woman to everyone!"
Hearing the emperor say this, in fact, everyone knew what was going on, but there were still people who pretended not to know and asked each other.
"I don't know what kind of strange woman she is, she can actually get into the eyes of the emperor, she must have her own merits, she is really curious!"
Ling Xuan laughed, looked at an official below, and said, "Li Shangshu is upright!" ”
Then Ling Xuan's gaze turned to Su Moran.
"Su Moran!"
As soon as he heard Ling Xuan's voice, Su Moran got up indifferently, unhurriedly, and walked from his seat to the center of the hall decently!
The elegant slightly blessed body said, "The people see the emperor, see the queen mother, the concubine Niangniang, I have seen all the adults!" ”
Ling Xuan waved his hand and said loudly, "No courtesy!" ”
The Queen Mother and the Xue Guifei also smiled gently and nodded to Su Moran.
"Emperor Xie!"
Then everyone's eyes fell on Su Moran's body, although there were many people when they came before, but they were still in the middle of the hall, but now standing in the center of the hall, Su Moran knew what it meant to be tolerant, and both sides of the hall were densely packed with people!
When he glanced at one place, Su Moran frowned slightly, the county lord of the Rongguo Mansion really came!
But today, she is dressed like this, presumably she will not recognize it no matter what!
Just as Su Moran was thinking to himself, Ling Xuan's voice sounded, "Su Moran has the greatest credit for the plague that broke out in Fengcheng, if it weren't for her, the people wouldn't know how much suffering they would have to suffer!" ”
"So I asked Prince An to bring her back to the imperial capital and reward her for meritorious deeds!"
"Su Moran obeys the order!"
Su Moran hurriedly knelt down solemnly to listen to the order!
I saw the eunuch beside Ling Xuan standing in front and began to announce the decree!
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, today there is Fengcheng people Su Jiasu Moran, gentle and pure, respectful and decent, in the Fengcheng epidemic regardless of life and death, take out a prescription for the plague, rescue the people in fire and water, the greatest credit."
"And sacrificing his life to save Prince An on the way back to the imperial capital is really rare! Today, Su Moran is specially given as the county lord of Anping, giving a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of cloth, and a county lord's mansion! ”
Then the eunuch walked down, stood in front of Su Moran, and said with a smile, "Lord Anping, take the order!" ”
Su Moran took the holy decree very calmly, but who could know the current turmoil in her heart!
Originally, Su Moran thought it was just a simple reward, but who knew that a county lord would come all of a sudden!
Not only Su Moran, but everyone present, except for Ling Ya, looked at the calm Su Moran in surprise, they couldn't figure it out, the emperor actually named a country woman as the county lord, it was ridiculous!!
Sure enough, Su Moran knew that someone would definitely not be able to sit still!
"Emperor, this ...... Not right? ”
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Ling Xuan leaned slightly and said respectfully to the Queen Mother, "I don't know why the Queen Mother thinks such a reward is inappropriate!" ”
The Queen Mother looked at Su Moran, her face was obviously angry, and she said, "Su Moran is just a country woman, with no background, besides, I don't know if it is true to solve the plague, and the emperor should think about it in the long run!" ”
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Ling Xuan's eyes flashed with coldness, but his face was not obvious, he smiled slightly, and said, "I have thought about this matter carefully, and I don't think there is anything wrong!" ”
"Although Su Moran came from a humble background, her knowledge and ability are not inferior to the women trained by the princes and nobles, and they all say that heroes don't ask where they come from, so it seems that the queen mother is too worried!"
"As for the plague, there are Prince An and Lu Qianye, the two of them, I still trust, does the queen mother have doubts about this?"
The Queen Mother's face had turned blue, the smile on her face had disappeared, and the emperor's words just now blocked all her words!
The corners of her mouth hooked up a stiff smile, and the Queen Mother nodded, "What the emperor said is indeed true!" ”
Then Ling Xuan smiled slightly, turned around, and looked at the officials who had exploded and were whispering!
"Do you have any opinion on my decision?"
Hearing Ling Xuan's voice, there was an instant silence below, and no one spoke!
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
