Chapter Eighty-Six: The New Year's Banquet

On the night of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Dongfang Luoyu held a banquet in the palace. All the people of the royal family of the East came together.

On the main seat of the banquet hall was Dongfang Luoyu's royal grandmother, Dongfang Chen.

"Luo Yu, why didn't this Luo Qi come?" Grandmother Wang, who was sitting on the throne, looked displeased.

"Back to Grandmother Wang's words, Luo Qi went to the front line to defend against the enemy, and the war was tight, so he didn't come back." Dongfang Luoyu explained.

Lan Zijin, who was sitting in the distance, heard the conversation between their grandfather and grandson, picked up his wine glass, and prayed silently for Dongfang Luoqi in his heart, hoping that he could return safely as soon as possible.

"Hey, is it important to fight a war or to reunite as a family?" Grandmother Wang sighed.

"Grandmother Wang, although Luo Qi did not return to celebrate the New Year with us, but he sent someone to send a gift to Grandmother Wang, you see, this is a rare treasure that Luo Qi found, the Purple Jade Buddha." Dongfang Luoyu put the Purple Jade Buddha on Grandmother Wang's table, but Grandmother Wang still didn't seem to be happy.

"Wuya, come over and let Grandmother Wang take a look." Grandmother Wang no longer paid attention to Dongfang Luoyu, but called Ximen Wuya to her.

"Grandmother Wang." Simon Wuya sat down beside Grandmother Wang and said with a smile.

Grandmother Wang took Ximen Wuya's hand, and no longer had a calm face, looked at Ximen Wuya and said: "Wuya, Grandmother Wang is old, I hope to be able to hold my great-grandson before returning to the West, you and Luo Yu have to hurry." ”

"Grandmother Wang, granddaughter-in-law knows." Simon Uya replied shyly.

"You, don't look at Luo Yu has so many concubines, but the men of their Dongfang family are all so dedicated. Luo Yu, his grandfather, only married your grandmother. Although Luo Yu's father also accepted many concubines, he only favored Luo Yu and his mother. If this man from the Eastern royal family is not sincere, he will never make her his successor. ”

"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law knows." Ximen Wuya lowered her head, she used to think the same thing, the men of the Eastern royal family have been infatuated for generations, and Dongfang Luoyu made her the queen because he really liked her. But when she came, she realized that she was wrong. Dongfang Luoyu's heart has already made her belong to her.

"The mourning family heard that Luo Yu has been favoring a Luo Concubine recently, who is Concubine Luo, come forward and let me take a look." When Grandmother Wang said this, she put away the kind smile on her face and replaced it with majesty and solemnity.

Lan Zijin was stunned, then put down the wine glass and stood up, walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, and said, "Concubine Luo, participate in the Queen Mother." ”

"What's your name?" Grandmother Wang asked.

"Concubine ......" Lan Zijin didn't know how to reply for a while, her name could easily make people guess her background.

"Why, after leaving the king's favor, have you even forgotten your name?" Grandmother Wang said coldly.

"The concubine's surname is Lan, and her name is Zijin." Lan Zijin thought about it, lying is a capital crime, it is better to confess like this.

"Lan Zijin? The Northern Underworld? Walk into some mourning homes and take a look. ”

Lan Zijin stood up and took a few steps forward, but she never dared to look up.

"You bow your head, don't you dare to face the mourning family? Keep your head up. ”

Lan Zijin listened and slowly raised his head.

Grandmother Wang looked up and down, Lan Zijin's appearance was not self-evident, but her hair was a little strange, so she asked, "Luo Yu, is this Concubine Luo's hair natural?" ”

"Yes." Dongfang Luoyu replied.

"It looks so standard, no wonder Wang Sun is so favored." Although Grandmother Wang didn't say much, she didn't like a woman like Lan Zijin, and she couldn't reply to a word, was there anything unpleasant? So he continued: "I don't know what else this Concubine Luo has in addition to her appearance?" ”

Dongfang Luoyu was speechless for a while, Lan Zijin was perfect in his heart, but if he really wanted to talk about her excellence, he didn't know how to speak.

"Queen Mother, the concubine is nothing extraordinary, but the concubine is willing to dance for the Queen Mother, and please don't dislike the Queen Mother." Lan Zijin said with a smile.

"Good. The mourners came to admire and admire. ”

Although there are many people who are happy with silk music, Lan Zijin only chose a piano and a flute to accompany her.

The flute played, and Lan Zijin presented a dance. A dance that she danced only for BOC Mu.

The wide sleeves are waving, the skirt is fluttering, although her dancing posture is not bewitching enough, but it seems to be separated from the world, and the delicate dance steps seem to come from between heaven and earth.

Grandmother Wang watched this dance and fell into it, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it, it was a familiar and strange feeling, as if she was in a dream when she saw this dance a long time ago.

After the dance, Grandmother Wang said: "The dance is very beautiful, and it has been hard." ”

Lan Zijin returned to his seat and glanced at Dongfang Luoyu, who happened to be looking at her as well.

This look of eye contact was looked at by Grandmother Wang on the main seat, and not long after, Grandmother Wang got up and said to Dongfang Luoyu: "Luo Yu, the mourning family is tired, so go back to rest first." ”

"Congratulations to Grandmother Wang, and please take care of Grandmother Wang." Dongfang Luoyu also stood up and said.

"There is nothing wrong with the mourning family's body, it's just that the mourning family hopes to see their grandson as soon as possible, and you have to pay attention to it."

Grandmother Wang said that, and was helped away by the grandmother beside her.

Everyone got up and knelt down and said in unison, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother." ”

After the banquet, Dongfang Luoyu accompanied Ximen Wuya to the Thousand Winds Palace.

"Your Majesty, I've drunk a lot of wine today, do you want to use some decanting soup?" Ximen Wuya asked softly.

"No need. Queen, the widow has not come to see you recently, and I have wronged you. Dongfang Luoyu said casually while drinking tea.

"Concubines are not aggrieved. The war on the front line is not peaceful, the king is busy with government affairs, and some time ago in the palace of Concubine Rong, the concubines have not been able to share the worries of the king, as the queen, the concubines are guilty. ”

Dongfang Luoyu listened, and felt a little guilty in his heart, Ximen Wuya is indeed a good wife, a competent queen, never jealous, and never complains. And he's been snubbing her a bit lately.

Dongfang Luoyu hugged Ximen Wuya in his arms and said, "Since Grandmother Wang is looking forward to the great-grandson of her relatives, then we must also do our filial piety." ”

Ximen Wuya leaned on Dongfang Luoyu's arms, her heart was beating fast, she was looking forward to this hug very hard, every lonely night, she would relive everything on the wedding night in her mind, but now Dongfang Luoyu was holding her like this, she was a little nervous.

Dongfang Luoyu took Ximen Wuya's hand and walked to the bed, watching Ximen Wuya untie his wide clothes, and Ximen Wuya would raise his head to look at him from time to time, with watery tenderness in his eyes.
