Chapter 76: Preparing for the Dance
Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, Concubine Li was also distressed, sighed and said: "Yao'er, you have to believe in the mother concubine, in this world, only the mother concubine really loves you, and no one else can trust it, the Wen family's kid is indeed one of the best in terms of character and talent, but you have to believe in the mother concubine, the two of you will not be happy together, if you force yourself together, it will be two people who will be hurt at that time." ”
However, Princess Yaohua has liked Wen Yan since she was a child, how could she take these words to heart, in her heart, Wen Yan is everything to her, as long as Wen Yan doesn't say "he doesn't love her" to her personally, then she will never give up.
Seeing Princess Yaohua's obsessed appearance, Concubine Li said sadly: "Yao'er, the mother concubine will not harm you, if you don't believe it, go ask Yingluo, see what she says?" ”
Hearing this, Princess Yaohua seemed to wake up all of a sudden, looked at her mother and said, "Yingluo will not be like you, she will definitely support me!" ”
After speaking, he sat down at the table again, ignoring Li Guifei again. Concubine Li sighed helplessly, and then said to the maid on the side: "The hour is coming, let's move quickly." ”
Shangguan Yingluo, who was far away in Taiqing Pool, didn't know what was happening here, and now, she didn't know why, she suddenly became a little worried, she just stopped Shangguan Mei'er and Murong Chi from meeting, it had already changed history, and she didn't know what would happen later.
When Shangguan Yingluo came back with Shangguan Mei'er, the four princes and others had already returned, and they were looking at the two of them with ill will at the moment.
It's just that Shangguan Mei'er didn't know it at all, and she thought that the fourth prince, Murong Xun, had taken a fancy to her, and in a place where others couldn't see, she even threw a flattering glance from time to time, intending to seduce.
In fact, all this was seen by Shangguan Yingluo, who seemed to be careless, but she was not so kind to remind Shangguan Mei'er, who had no brains.
The sky gradually darkened, looking at the stars in the sky, Shangguan Yingluo closed her eyes, I don't know when she began to hate the starry night, maybe because she didn't want to think of that person anymore, but, sometimes fate is really strange, the more people you don't want to see, the more people appear in front of you, and you can't hide.
"The emperor has arrived, Concubine Li has arrived!" As soon as the eunuch's unique voice sounded, it instantly attracted everyone's attention, even Shangguan Yingluo was no exception, but she was not afraid, she just got up casually, and knelt in the corner with everyone, "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the noble concubine Niangniang thousand years old and thousands of years old!" ”
Watching everyone salute, a majestic voice sounded, "Flat, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, you don't have to be restrained." As soon as Emperor Murong Zhentian spoke, the people below echoed one after another, "Emperor Xie Longen." ”
Prince Murong Ze's biological mother, Empress Qin, died early, so Murong Ze was raised under the knees of Concubine Li since he was a child, and the two were as close as mother and son, but Emperor Murong Zhentian had a deep affection for his wife Qin, and he still refused to set up another queen, so the position of the prince has been vacant, and this Concubine Li has monopolized the power of the harem, holding the phoenix seal and ruling the harem.
Looking at the guests, Concubine Li suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a smile to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine recently heard that Princess Xiao accepted a righteous daughter, and it is rumored that this woman is as beautiful as a fairy, and she has a blue heart. ”
As soon as he heard this, the emperor really became interested, and said suspiciously: "Oh? Is there such a thing? Immediately, he looked at Prince Xiao and asked, "King Xiao, I don't know if Concubine Ai's words are true?" ”
Prince Xiao nodded and said: "What the noble concubine said is true, the princess and I did adopt a righteous daughter, and she is also the second daughter of Lord Shangguan, Shangguan Mei'er. ”
This surprised everyone, obviously did not expect this to be the case, the emperor smiled and said: "There is such a coincidence in the world, since this is the case, why don't you come out and let me see, how beautiful a woman is so blessed?" ”
Shangguan Mei'er at the bottom couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and immediately walked up and knelt down respectfully, "The courtier's daughter Shangguan Mei'er asks the emperor for peace, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the concubine Niangniang thousand years old and thousands of years old." ”
The Emperor looked at him thoughtfully, "Raise your head and let me take a good look!" Shangguan Mei'er slowly raised her head, only to see the emperor smile and say, "Sure enough, it's a wonderful person, come, reward a hundred taels of gold." ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Mei'er was obviously excited, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers want to congratulate the Mid-Autumn Festival with a flying dance, and hope that the emperor will play it." ”
This made the emperor very happy, and Concubine Li said in a timely manner: "Since this is the case, you are ready to start, if you dance well, this palace will be rewarded." ”
The Shen family had already blossomed below, but the Wen family didn't have much thought, just looked at Shangguan Yingluo in the corner and looked sad, in the final analysis, it was also her own useless mother, who let a concubine steal the limelight.
If Shangguan Yingluo knew that Wen thought so, it is estimated that she would not have much feeling, after all, her purpose tonight is to make Shangguan Mei'er shine, she only hopes that nothing will go wrong, this play, she has been preparing for a long time, and the heroine must bear it.
In the cheers of everyone, Shangguan Mei'er went to the room to prepare dance clothes, Shangguan Yingluo turned her head and instructed Yun Ge: "You go to the back and watch, but don't let anyone stumble Shangguan Mei'er." Hearing this, Yun Ge nodded, and retreated unconsciously.
At this time, Wen Yan was like sitting on pins and needles, because Princess Yaohua, who was sitting at the bottom of Concubine Li, had been glued to his body since she came here, and she had never taken her eyes away.
Shangguan Yingluo naturally discovered this situation, although Princess Yaohua and Wen Yan are both her best friends, and she also hopes that they will be together in her heart, but no matter which aspect, the emperor and Concubine Li will not allow Princess Yaohua to marry Wen Yan, to be precise, to marry the Wen family, even if the emperor agrees, but for the good of Princess Yaohua, Concubine Li will never agree, in the end, no matter which side it is, it will cause indelible damage, rather than this, it is better to let Princess Yaohua see it earlier, So as not to end up losing both.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yingluo secretly decided in her heart that she must find an opportunity to talk to Princess Yaohua about this matter, so that he could dispel this idea as soon as possible.
At this time, there was already a dancing girl on the scene, the pink clothes looked more lively at night, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo was also intoxicating, and the emperor laughed from time to time, drinking with the courtiers, looking very happy.
In the room, Shangguan Mei'er asked people to take out their carefully prepared dance clothes, the pink color was like peach blossoms in spring, and it also matched her complexion very well.
The dancers waiting for the performance on the side let out exclamations, and they all vied to ask where the clothes were ordered, which greatly satisfied Shangguan Mei'er's vanity.
Rue Xiang on the side hurriedly stopped their hands that wanted to touch the dance clothes, and said proudly: "Hey, be careful, my young lady's clothes have been customized with a lot of money, what should you do if you touch them?" Can you afford it? ”
Hearing this, those dancing girls all withdrew their hands in disdain, indeed, they are the dancing girls in the palace, they just sing and dance on weekdays, and make the palace masters happy, there is not so much money, if they accidentally break it, they really can't afford to pay it.
