Chapter 69: Change of Dynasty

In the dead of night, Zuo Tingxue was still asleep, and suddenly there was a sound of picking the door outside the door, Feng Jinyi had already entered the palace at night to prepare, so she was the only one in the house.

"Who" left Tingxue sat up hurriedly.

"Princess, it's me." Xiao Min's voice came from outside the door.

Zuo Tingxue walked over and opened the door, when a behemoth suddenly pounced on her and almost knocked it down.

"Susu, why are you here?" Zuo Tingxue hugged the little white tiger who threw himself into his arms, and now the little white tiger has become a big tiger, about 200 catties, fat and strong.

"Princess, I went back to Qingyuan Houfu today to get something for you, Su Su has been secretly following me, and this is why I came here."

Zuo Tingxue hurriedly walked to the table, picked up the pastries and fed them to the little white tiger, and then she instructed Xiao Min to make a bed for the little white tiger in another house.

Today's little white tiger, although it has grown so big, it does not have the temperament of a beast at all, and it is still as lively and cute as before.

On the second day, Zuo Tingxue got up early, and today is the time to enter the palace for a banquet.

Zuo Tingxue was wearing a blue dress, with only a white jade hairpin on her head, and Sun Bing was wearing a green shirt, which was also simple and generous, and neither of them wore gold or silver.

"I'll have you get some clothes tomorrow!" Su Zhe couldn't help frowning as he looked at them.

"No need." Zuo Tingxue said coldly.

The group soon arrived at the palace, because they wanted to admire the moon, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was set up on the moon viewing platform in the imperial garden.

The moon platform is close to the lake, with flowers on one side, dark fragrance, autumn wind gusting on the other, the moonlit lake sparkling, and the red lanterns all over the garden, full of festive atmosphere.

Zuo Yunfeng naturally came, and as soon as he entered the banquet, he was stopped by a friend who was an official in the same dynasty to greet him.

As soon as Zuo Tingxue and Sun Bing came in, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Two servants stepped forward and ushered them to their seats.

Zuo Tingxue found out that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet also invited Tanglin Zhang Kai and the Prince of Dongguan, two powerful tribes.

She frowned slightly, there had never been such a thing in previous years.

The huge banquet, the red carpet was paved, Zhang Kai was on the left, the civil and military officials were on the right, three rows of seats were set up on the left and right, and the family members were arranged in the second row.

The emperor's position is on a high platform in the center, and everyone can be seen at a glance.

Zuo Tingxue knew in his heart that there would be a battle between the three clans of Dongchu, Dongling, and Dongguan.

After hundreds of years of painstaking management, the power of each clan has penetrated into every corner of the world, and it is like a towering giant tree, with intricate roots and ready to grow.

Zuo Tingxue saw a person at this time, this person was Yan Junxian, as soon as he saw him, Zuo Tingxue suddenly felt warm in his heart, Yan Junxian was a hero who galloped across the field, the fourth son of the emperor, and the fourth prince, when he was fighting in order to fight, his leg became crippled.

Just because he accidentally killed Concubine Xi's younger brother, he was denounced by Concubine Xi and Yan Congxuan, and then Yan Junxian has been imprisoned, but he didn't expect him to be released today, but Zuo Tingxue always felt that Concubine Xi would not let him go so easily.

"Yikes! Where did this cripple come from? is also worthy of attending the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet. Sure enough, at this moment, Concubine Xi dressed up and walked over surrounded by maidservants, her eyes fell on Yan Junxian, and she smiled sarcastically.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Yan Junxian, Yan Junxian's face suddenly turned pale, his thin body couldn't help but tremble, he pursed his lips tightly, and didn't dare to say anything.

Zuo Tingxue looked at Concubine Xi faintly, the cold in her eyes was awe-inspiring, and she walked out slowly, hooking her lips and sneering in front of everyone's eyes: "The emperor has always loved the people like a son, and this is especially true for the soldiers guarding the border passes. ”

Zuo Tingxue's voice was high, causing many officials to look up one after another.

Her words were generous and righteous.

Concubine Xi was speechless by what she said!

"In Concubine Xi's eyes, I'm also crippled, right?" Suddenly, Lin Zhi slowly stood up, squinting at Concubine Xi, he was wearing armor, his right arm was hanging in the air, and only his left arm was left.

He is the general of the Zhenguo of Eastern Chu, and he followed the emperor to conquer the Eastern Chu rivers and mountains, and made great achievements, made countless contributions to Eastern Chu, and held half of the troops of Dayan.

Zuo Tingxue looked up at him.

"I don't mean to!" Concubine Xi's face turned white in an instant, and she hurriedly defended.

Looking at Concubine Xi again, her eyes were full of resentment, and she couldn't wait to step forward immediately and dismantle Zuo Tingxue.

"Concubine Xi just said that the fourth prince is crippled, right?" At that time, Lin An strode over, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and there was a sense of oppression in his body.

Lin An is Lin Zhi's father and Yan Junxian's father-in-law, and he suddenly asked, which made Concubine Dexi suddenly not know how to answer.

"I don't know what Concubine Xi means? Or does the emperor mean it? A chill flashed in Lin An's eyes, and he looked at Concubine Xi coldly, without the slightest intention of backing down.

For a moment, everyone looked at Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi's face was blue and red, and she couldn't say a word.

"Concubine Xi said that my son is not worthy of the Mid-Autumn Night Banquet, and I am naturally not worthy of it." The corners of Lin An's lips hooked, looked up at Yan Junxian and Lin Zhi, and opened his mouth to say: "Your Majesty personally ordered us to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, and now Concubine Xi says that we are not worthy, let's go back!" ”

After Lin An finished speaking, he turned around.

Yan Junxian's wife, Lin Yiyi, pushed him out as well.

"I didn't mean that?" Concubine Xi's eyes turned red instantly, if she really told them to go back, the emperor would not spare her.

"What do you mean by Concubine Xi?" Lin An looked at Lin An lightly with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Concubine Xi bit her lip tightly, her eyes were already red, and the maidservant girl on the side gently tugged at her sleeve.

Under Lin An's gaze, Concubine Xi walked to Yan Junxian's side in a few steps, looked at him Yingying, and said reluctantly: "Fang is my mouth is open, I said some nonsense, the fourth prince should not take it to heart." ”

"Hmm!" Yan Junxian replied lightly, which can be regarded as giving Concubine Xi a step.

"Please also ask General Lin a lot, forgive me this time!" Concubine Xi walked up to Lin An again.

Lin An didn't speak, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

"Concubine Xi is so noble and can change her mistakes, the emperor is sage, all of them are my luck in Dongchu." Listen to the snow on the left and face the concubine.

Her words seemed to be complimenting Concubine Xi, but in fact, she was pointing out Concubine Xi's mistakes to everyone.

If they really leave like this, they will inevitably make the emperor unhappy and not beautiful!

Concubine Xi's complexion eased instantly.

"Concubine Xi is polite!" Lin An said lightly and walked towards his seat.

Lin Yiyi and Yan Junxian also returned to their seats.

Concubine Xi then walked towards her seat.

"It's because of my incompetence and failure to protect you that you are humiliated today!" Lin An turned his head to look at Yan Junxian, his voice was choked with a hint of guilt, and his eyes were full of guilt.

"Thank you, father-in-law." After Yan Junxian finished speaking, he picked up another glass of wine and saluted to the left to listen to the snow.

Xie Changan couldn't help but sigh.

"Prince Tanglin has arrived!" It was then that the eunuch's voice rang out.

Zhang Kai walked in slowly.

As soon as Zhang Kai came in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and those people's eyes were full of amazement, he was dressed in a gorgeous costume, and he was dressed up, so that everyone couldn't take their eyes off it.

There are several men and women beside him, who are also the characters of Zhilan Yushu, full of elegance at a glance, a few years older than Zhang Kai, and there is a sense of calmness in every gesture.

As soon as Zhang Kai took a seat, Chen Yu came, he was dressed in a purple robe, with a trademark smile on his face, and a face that turned all beings upside down, Shi Shiran walked over.

All the women in the room looked at him.

Chen Yang followed beside him, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, she didn't know what evil she had done in her previous life, she cultivated such a brother, attracting bees and butterflies all day long, and it didn't matter if she didn't have the slightest look like her brother, as long as he was there, she would look dull.

Chen Yu raised his head and swept around, and everyone looked at Zuo Tingxue, squinted and threw a wink at Zuo Tingxue, which made Zuo Tingxue feel cold, and turned his face sideways to stop looking at Chen Yu.

"His Royal Highness King Yu has arrived." Feng Jinyi's gaze swept from Zuo Tingxue's body, so fast that everyone didn't notice it.

"His Royal Highness Uwang has arrived." Yan Yu was the third prince and had nothing to do all day, and he also walked in surrounded by servants.

The aroma of wine is overflowing, the silk and bamboo are bursting, and the huge banquet is already full of people.

Chen Yu glanced at Zuo Tingxue intentionally or unintentionally, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

Chen Yang looked at a demon-like brother all day long, and she had no interest in all the men in the world.

Even though Zuo Tingxue was hiding behind Feng Jinyi, he still glanced at her lightly, without the slightest expression on his face.

"The emperor has arrived!"

"Concubine Xiao has arrived!" After everyone took their seats, the honor guards of the emperor and Concubine Xiao slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"See the emperor, Concubine Xiao!" Your Royal Highnesses, princesses, civil and military officials, and even family members all stood up and saluted.

They all bow down.

And Zhang Kai and the prince of Dongguan also bowed their hands.

"Excuse me!" The emperor raised his hand slightly and sat down with Concubine Xiao.

"Your Majesty." Everyone got up and took their seats.

The emperor smiled, looked at everyone present one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Today's beautiful day, and the festive season, I specially invite you to have fun with me." ”

The emperor said, and the servant on the side presented two glasses of wine.

The emperor raised his hand and took a glass of wine, slowly got up and said: "This first cup of wine is to the heavens and ghosts, as well as the bright moon in the sky!" ”

Concubine Xiao also stood up with the wine.

Everyone present stood up with wine bottles in hand.

In the middle of his eyes, the emperor flicked his wrist, and the wine in the cup fell to the ground at his feet.

"The second cup of wine, I want to pay tribute to the soldiers who guard the border and can't return home!" The emperor said and drank it all.

All civil and military officials followed suit.

"I want to pay tribute to all of you present in this third cup of wine, you have contributed a lot to Dongchu today!" The emperor smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked around at everyone, and drank all the wine in the cup.

"The emperor is benevolent!" The civil and military officials all said silently, drinking the wine in the cup.

The chime rang, and the dancing girl stepped on the lotus step Shi Ran and came, her clothes fluttering, her dancing posture was graceful, the moonlight was very good, and the wine was strong.

The most boring thing is this kind of palace night banquet, Zuo Tingxue is not interested, and he is a little sleepy.

Feng Jinyi is not much better, and he is also bored.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk, and even the emperor had a hint of drunkenness on his face.

Yan Yu raised his glass from afar, smiled at Feng Jinyi, and raised his head to drink the wine in the cup.

His eyes fell on Zuo Tingxue intentionally or unintentionally.

He is provoking Feng Jinyi.

Feng Jinyi looked up at him, his movements were extremely elegant, he shook the wine bottle in his hand, took a sip, and slowly put down the wine bottle in his hand.

The smile in Yan Yu's eyes was even stronger, and the fierce light flashed in his eyes, Zuo Tingxue saw it really well, and couldn't help but wonder if the assassination a few days ago would have something to do with this Yan Yu.
