Chapter 113: The Kings Gather
Mu Yu quietly changed into the clothes of a palace maid in Mu Wanzhen's palace.
In the evening, I helped Mu Wanzhen get dressed up, and when they came to the Imperial Garden, they met a man in official uniform.
Mu Yu looked at it from afar and saw that he was young and tidy; The cloud temples are tight, carefully sorted into the crown and hat, and not a trace is left outside; The sword eyebrows were neatly trimmed, and the familiar eyes were bright, and I couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Mu Wanzhen bowed slightly to him: "Tang Shilang, how is the banquet prepared?" ”
Tang Ning bowed and informed: "Back to Niangniang, Prince Rong, Prince Huang, and Prince Cong have all arrived with their respective relatives, and Yin Shizi, Cheng Yugongzi, and Cheng Zhigongzi have also taken their seats, just waiting for you and the emperor to take a seat." ”
"There's a Lao Tang squire." Mu Wanzhen said, bowed slightly, and said goodbye to Tang Ning.
Tang Ning bowed and waited for Mu Wanzhen to leave, only then did he raise his eyes slightly, and when he saw Mu Yu wearing the palace maid's costume, he also showed a very surprised gaze; Mu Mo and Tang Ning looked at each other, each with their own thoughts, but they didn't show anything, and only left with a slight blessing.
Broken steps followed Mu Wanzhen, and Mu Mo couldn't help asking: "Tang Shilang was recommended by Lu Mi, and he is a frequent visitor to Jinlan Valley; Now that Lu Mi has been killed and Jinlan Valley has been burned, why hasn't Tang Shilang been affected at all? ”
"Speaking of which, Lu Mi was killed, and the Jinlan Valley where young Confucian scholars gathered was subjected to this catastrophe, Tang Shilang should be affected, but some time ago, I listened to my father and my brother chatting, Rong Wangye recently wanted to envelop young sages who had no foundation, Tang Shilang was rigorous and very measured, and never contaminated the rights and wrongs in the court, so Rong Wangye left him in the Ministry of Rites for reuse."
Mu Wanzhen said, sighed slightly, raised his eyes to look at the palace in front of him, his sadness and worry wrapped his eyebrows, bit his lip fiercely, took a deep breath, lightly lifted the complicated skirt, and raised his feet to step on the steps in front of the palace.
Mu Mo pinched his palms and sweated slightly, raised his eyes to look at the splendid palace, heard the faint sound of silk and bamboo, and thought of today's scene, he couldn't help but be nervous and excited: In addition to promising Mu Wanzhen, Sikong Huang and Sikong Cong gathered today, which means that Hongli and Hibiscus are all present. I didn't expect ...... Since the farewell of the Thousand Machine Academy, they can meet on such an occasion.
Thinking about it, Mu Yu took a deep breath and stepped on the steps in front of the hall.
When I arrived in the hall, I saw three or five palace people ringing the bell and blowing the sheng, among which there were eight sandalwood tables, which were lined up from the door to the main seat, and next to the two cases at the bottom, sat Yin Chengzhi and the royal nobles in silver moire brocade clothes; Beside the nobleman, a graceful young woman wearing a lilac skirt was half-kneeling, holding a pot and pouring wine for the nobleman.
Mu Mo saw the familiar purple-clothed figure, thought of the Yehe that broke outside Chang'an City that day, thought of Sikong Cong's cruelty, thought of her determination to jump even though she knew the fire pit, and thought of the green Vale who also decided to end miserably, tears almost burst out of her eyes......
The young woman in purple lowered her eyes, carefully pouring wine for the nobles, because she heard the movement, she also cast a slight afterglow, and at a glance she caught a glimpse of the graceful and agile palace maid behind the queen's mother, and she couldn't help but be taken aback, and her mouth was half open in astonishment.
The aristocracy inadvertently caught a glimpse of the young woman's gaze, so he also followed it, and also saw the palace maid behind the queen, who was still smart but had a much more mature temperament, and a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes immediately narrowed, and he also raised his eyebrows slightly.
Mu Yu lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at him, but the afterglow of his eyes still detected the nobleman's malicious gaze, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from his palms: Sikong Huang...... I still remember the events of those years all these years......
Hibiscus beside him...... I don't know...... How's it going......
"Wow! Queen Mother! Immediately next to the main table, there was a strange sound of yin and yang.
Mu Mo raised his eyes slightly and saw a majestic middle-aged man leaning crookedly beside the desk. The crown of the golden eagle is inlaid with more than a dozen night pearls the size of pigeon eggs, the dark red Shu brocade court dress is embroidered with a bright gold placket, and the waist is tied with a black Bo belt with seven or eight rings of different shapes.
Looking at the age and guessing the identity, it should be Sikong Rong, but what surprised Mu Mo was that the Lu family had just been removed, and the royal family was still present, Sikong Rong was so luxurious and high-profile, and he blatantly wore a bright yellow placket!
Sikong Rong leaned on the desk, a pair of eyes unscrupulously looked at Mu Wanzhen, and commented without scruples: "Everyone praises the daughter of the Mu family for having the demeanor of the young daughter of the Zheng family at the beginning, and now it seems that Wen Shu is dignified and deserves her reputation." ”
"Of course the queen chosen by Uncle Rong is good." Next to the desk next to Sikong Rong, the man in white Shengxue knocked on his palm with a bamboo fan, his lips opened slightly, his eyes fell on Sikong Rong coldly, and his sword eyebrows flew obliquely into a few strands of black hair under the corner of his temples.
Beside him, a beautiful woman wearing a red skirt, a delicate nose, and apricot eyes poured wine on her knees.
Mu Mo still lowered his head, and glanced at the white-clothed nobleman and the beauty beside him, and "groaned" in his heart: since he went back to prison to chat with Sikong Huang and approached Mu Wanzhen as planned, he met him for the first time, and he didn't know about the conspiracy last time...... Did he tell Red Knotweed? I didn't know that my identity was discovered by him at the beginning...... Is it the secret of the red knotweed?
Thinking about it, Mu Mo looked at Hongli slightly, but saw that Hongli's eyes did not rise, her expression did not change, she still poured wine by herself, and never looked at her, and she couldn't help but feel a slight pang in her heart: It seems that ...... Hongli is no longer the weak beauty who cried and begged to stay by Sikong Heng's side and serve for life in Qianji Courtyard, and not to marry Sikong Huang as a concubine.
"The throne is empty, the court is unstable, and the king is really helpless, so he hurriedly handled this matter for the emperor, to speak...... The harem is in politics, and the chicken is in the morning, and in the end of such a situation, King Huang's brother can make great efforts, and he is a great hero second to none. ”
Sikong Rong said, poured a glass of wine and toasted Sikong Huang, and looked at his imperial nephew with a pair of eagle eyes.
Sikong Huang bowed slightly, returned a glass of Sikong Rong, and said with a smile indifferently and humbly: "Speaking of meritorious heroes, Xiao Wang will not dare to be, this time to remove the Lu family's chaotic party, it is the result of the joint efforts of the royal family, if it is true that meritorious deeds are rewarded, Uncle Rong Wang will bear the brunt, and Brother Rui Wang and Uncle Dong Wang have also made great efforts." In the future, the imperial court will still need to rely on you to ensure that we can enjoy good fortune. ”
"Heh, when it comes to Rui Wang Ye and Dong Wang Ye, they have really made a big move!"
Sikong Rong echoed, lowered his head slightly, paused for a moment, and slowly poured himself a glass of wine, "Don't worry, wait a while for Prince Dong and Prince Rui to come, who should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, the emperor has his own judgment." ”
"Who's calling this king!" A familiar voice, accompanied by a white and round figure, entered.
Mu Yu before, because he didn't know that Sikong Dong would also be there, the moment he saw him, it was like five thunderbolts, his brain buzzed, and his heart went straight to his throat: Now, the people present are either Sikong Cong, who knows his details, or Sikong Huang, who controls and uses himself, or Yin Cheng who holds his own handle, or Sikong Rong, who is guarding the people next to Mu Wanzhen, so many pairs of eyes are staring at him, if Sikong Dong recognizes his identity on the spot......
Mu Yu thought about it, said a few words to Mu Wanzhen, and was about to fly away.
"Hey! Don't help the queen to sit down? A voice called Mu Yu, who was about to leave.
Mu Yu paused, turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Sikong Huang squinting a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes, gloating and staring at himself, scolding his mother and cursing him a hundred times in his heart, still smiling and grinning, returning to Mu Wanzhen's side, helping her through the eight rows of open desks, until the inner side of the main hall was seated next to the sandalwood case on the right side of the main seat.
