Chapter 120: Going to the Banquet
Wen Jun told Xiang Lu and Ling'er about Empress Wu inviting her to the banquet with Xiang Lu, and Ling'er disagreed at once, saying, "Cousin, you are too anxious, this will hurt your husband." ”
Xiang Lu thought for a while and said, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster to avoid." Madam, let's go to see the Queen Mother together. ”
Ling'er snorted angrily, Xiang Lu immediately took her hand, and said, "Ling'er, if something happens to me and Wenjun, I still want you to collect the bodies of the two of us!" ”
Ling'er burst into tears and said, "Husband, if you and your cousin have something, I won't live anymore." ”
Wen Jun looked at Xiang Lu and Ling'er as if they were parting with life and death, and said, "The Queen Mother won't kill us, let's get ready to go!"
Xiang Lu let go of Ling'er and entered the palace with Wenjun.
Stepping into the brightly lit and golden Zichen Palace, I saw that the Empress Wu was sitting in the middle, accompanied by Princess Taiping, Shangguan Wan'er and other close ministers.
Wen Jun and Sima Xianglu slowly entered, and when Empress Wu looked at it from a distance, he recognized Sima Xianglu, and thought: It is really better than Sima Yu's style, and he wanted to send Qiu Bo to Sima Yu secretly, but he didn't appreciate it, so he had no choice but to kill him to cover up the truth, and now, God wants to give his son to me.
Princess Taiping saw the queen mother's eyes, and thought: Sima Xianglu is estimated to become the second male favorite of the queen mother now, but this still requires me to be Zhang Luo for the queen mother.
Wen Junhe bowed to Lu and Empress Wu, and said, "See the Queen Mother!" ”
Empress Wu smiled and let their husband and wife sit at the table, and said, "Sima Xianglu is really extraordinary in appearance and personable!" ”
Princess Taiping said: "Queen Mother, tonight's grand event is to reward Sister Wenjun for her work in solving the case. I heard that Sima Gongzi is good at playing the piano, so it is better to let Erchen and Sima Gongzi dance and play to cheer up the queen mother and Wenjun. ”
When Empress Wu heard this, she was even happier and said, "Just do what Taiping said!" Sima Xianglu, you will be tired of playing the qin. ”
Xiang Lu got up and went to play, the sound of the piano slowed down, and Taiping also danced happily to the music.
Empress Wu saw Xiang Lu's demeanor and Sima Yu back then, and Empress Wu thought: I was only about thirty years old at that time, young and charming, and I was competing for the position of queen, but Sima Yu wrote against it, I expected that Sima Yu must be an old stubborn and pedantic look. Who knew that when the court first saw him, he saw that he was the same age as himself, with a long body, a graceful demeanor, a good demeanor, and a melancholy look, as if ice and snow were about to meet spring, cold but warm. I wooed him, admired him, invited him into the palace to play for me, and was even willing to have an affair with him, but he left me with a righteous resignation, and I only remember his posture when he played the piano.
When Wenjun saw that Princess Taiping and Xiang Luqin danced together, she thought: Princess Taiping, this *** person is really troublesome, and she has to seduce her husband wherever she goes, as if all the beautiful men in the world have to be willing to sleep with her.
Wen Jun coughed suddenly, Xiang Lu Wenzhi immediately stopped stroking the qin, and the princess dance also stopped.
Wen Jun stood up and said, "Queen Mother, the guqin dance is too slow, Wen Jun doesn't feel happy, it's better to let Wen Jun play the pipa and make the princess dance!" ”
Empress Wu smiled: "It's up to you." ”
Wen Jun took the pipa handed by the palace maid and sat on Xiang Lu's seat, while Xiang Lu returned to his seat.
As soon as Princess Taiping saw Wen Jun, she knew that she was uneasy and kind, but she couldn't help but jump.
I saw Wen Jun quickly playing the pipa, her voice was crisp and cheerful, and Princess Taiping had to dance fast and dance to the beat.
Wenjun played the pipa skillfully, one would be faster and one would be slow, but the voice was always beautiful, and the tired Taiping was a mess of dance steps, and she fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Wen Jun got up and said, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" Is Wenjun's pipa not to your liking? ”
Princess Taiping was angry and didn't dare to say it, so she smiled and said, "No, my sister plays well!" ”
Seeing this, Empress Wu said, "Okay, let's play here today, everyone will sit down and serve the food!"
So, the palace maids served the food one after another, and during the banquet, the Empress Wu did not mention Sima Yu, nor did she want to punish Sima Xianglu, Wenjun herself felt weird, and thought: Why didn't the Queen Mother mention Sima Yu? still likes her husband so much, has she already pardoned her husband.
