Chapter 21: The Palace Banquet (3)

"The emperor has arrived!" The piercing and sharp voice sounded, making the people in the hall bow their heads respectfully.

"See the emperor!" Everyone knelt down and saluted.

"All love is exempt!" A majestic voice resounded in the main hall.

The emperor and empress, as well as many concubines in the harem, have been in place according to their concubine ranks, and the royal family and civil and military officials have also been given seats by order of the emperor after they visited.

Li Mo straightened up and sat down with Yuan Hengjing. Only then did he look at the entire hall with the peripheral vision of his eyes.

Sitting on the dragon chair at the top of the main hall and in the middle is Yuan Xuanhao, the emperor of Xiling Kingdom, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, long black hair tied up, wearing a crown and a bright yellow crown rope, although he is already in his forties, he is full of the breath of a king.

There is a phoenix chair under the dragon chair, and on the phoenix chair sits Zhao Ruoyao, the queen of Xiling Kingdom, wearing a palace dress embroidered with a phoenix in red, and the well-maintained skin and posture make the queen look only in her thirties.

On the other side sat the prince's biological mother, Concubine Shugui, who was not only arrogant and pampered, but also a ruthless woman.

Relying on his son to be the crown prince, he never put anyone in his eyes, he is arrogant, arrogant, and often reckless and provocative in front of the queen.

The banquet officially began, and more than a dozen blue-clad tulle dancers entered the venue enchantingly, singing and dancing.

As the music slides out of the fingertips of the virtuoso musicians, the dancers take turns to perform on stage, which is simply dazzling everyone's eyes.

Limo couldn't stand such a lengthy banquet and was drowsy.

A shout, "The Nine Emperor Princes have arrived." "Pulled her back from Zhou Gong's.

The sound seemed to have a penetrating power, and the entire palace was silenced in an instant.

A thought flashed in everyone's hearts, this announcement was definitely even greater than the momentum of the emperor's arrival.

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

In the line of sight, an eight-lift soft sedan came from afar, with a golden sedan top and a bright yellow sedan curtain.

The tassel hangs lightly, the gold hook is like jade, and the thin gold sand curtain hangs down on all sides, swaying in the wind, showing a kind of dazzling and dazzling momentum.

The ministers were sluggish, and Li Mo was directly dumbfounded.

After a long time, he muttered a sentence in his mouth, "Sao Bao." ”

Yuan Hengjing, who was beside her, happened to hear her words, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Seeing this, the corners of Prince Yuan's mouth twitched violently.

And Concubine Shugui, who was dressed in a purple robe and showed grace and luxury, her delicately painted makeup seemed to have cracks in an instant, and her face had turned uncontrollably dark.

It's just too arrogant, too disrespectful!

The flowing wind bowed down and opened the sedan curtain, and at this moment Yuan Yuge was sitting lazily, the gorgeous white soft robe was floating on the edge of the white jade chair foot, and the clothes were pure white as snow, making the white-robed man look like a proud immortal.

Liufeng respectfully reminded, "Master, it's time to get off the sedan chair." ”

Yuan Yuge raised his head slowly, his narrow eyes swept indifferently, and his eyes had a cold and ruthless luster, which made a chill run down everyone's backs.

He slowly walked out of the soft sedan chair, only to see the man wearing a snow-white silver silk soft robe, with a peerless face, which crowned the world, making the world seem to be eclipsed in an instant.

Many princesses and daughters all stared at his face with admiration, and they were reluctant to move away for a moment.

He walked from afar, a pair of clear crystal-clear purple eyes with a hint of mesmerizing confusion. Just one glance is enough to make the women of the world intoxicated by it, and I don't know how many ladies in the imperial city want to marry him.

Mu Lingxue, who has always been above the top, was attracted all the attention by Yuan Yuge at a palace banquet. That handsome man made Mu Lingxue's heart skip a beat, his temperament was so different from the ordinary people present, lonely and cold, Mu Lingxue's eyes unconsciously chased that figure, but from beginning to end, Yuan Jingge never glanced at her.

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes." Gonggong Chen, who received the emperor's signal, walked over, bowed down and spoke, "The emperor invites His Royal Highness to sit down." ”

Everyone knows that the emperor is extremely fond of the Nine Emperors, and his mother is the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Lan.

Concubine Lan is indifferent to fame and fortune by nature, and she never competes in the world. It's a pity that when the Nine Emperor Princes were ten years old, Concubine Lan committed suicide by poisoning, and a generation of beauties died like this.

When the emperor heard the news of Concubine Lan's death, he was heartbroken and couldn't sleep at night. Therefore, he has always felt guilty about the Nine Emperors, and he has also spoiled him, which has also attracted the dissatisfaction and jealousy of other princes.

The Emperor set up an exclusive seat for the Nine Emperor Princesβ€”β€”β€”β€” isolating the crowd, and there was a vacant seat in the lower left of the dragon chair.

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is really a big shelf."

Seeing this, Concubine Shu finally couldn't help but speak, and her graceful and delicate face was full of anger.

Obviously, her son is the current prince, why is he so presumptuous.

Everyone's hearts were cold, Concubine Shugui was going to do things again.

Yuan Yuge didn't raise his eyelids, picked up the wine poured by the palace people, slowly raised his hand, and drank it all elegantly, without the slightest intention of caring about her.

Concubine Shu's face was gloomy and ugly for a moment, and the anger in her eyes almost erupted into flames.

In the tense silence of the atmosphere, the queen sitting on the phoenix chair looked at the emperor who had been silent for a long time, and the corners of her lips hooked up a mocking arc, "Today is a lively palace banquet, Concubine Shu, you don't spoil the atmosphere." ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Shugui's face changed suddenly, and she glanced at the queen fiercely.

Empress Zhao Ruoyao was originally the daughter of King Heshuo and the cousin of Limo's mother.

She has been in the palace for many years, although it can be regarded as a blank piece of paper, but she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she has also been dyed by the conspiracy and calculations in the palace. Seeing Concubine Shugui's deflated appearance, she didn't forget to step on it.

The person on the dragon throne looked at all this, took a sip of tea, and said, "Jue'er, I've been in good health lately." ”

"Everything's fine." Yuan Yuge replied expressionlessly.

Although these Nine Emperor Princes are young, like Yuan Hengjing, they are the unparalleled god of war in the prosperous world of this Xiling Kingdom.

He began to step into the battlefield when he was eleven years old, and this year is twenty-one, a full ten years, and his military achievements are impressive, not only climbing to the first place in the world's master list, but also having a very high reputation in the military department.

Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is jealous of these nine brothers and hates them very much. Everyone in the world knows that the emperor loves the Nine Emperors very much and attaches great importance to him. Although Yuan Peize is the crown prince, he has no real power.

In the early years, the crown prince wanted to win over the Nine Emperor Princes many times, but Yuan Yuge ignored him and didn't take him as a prince in his eyes at all.

Yuan Peize's voice was evil, full of displeasure, and he drank lightly, "The ninth brother has been back in Beijing for many days, but he has never asked his father for peace, and he is late for today's banquet, where is the majesty of his father!" ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does have the intention of taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Yuan Juge looked at Yuan Peize's imposing side face, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, "My father didn't speak, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to replace him like this?"

Yuan Xuange's words successfully made Yuan Xuanhao's face change slightly. Seeing that the emperor's face was not very good-looking, Yuan Peize was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, "The son is loyal to his father, and he will never dare to have two hearts, please ask his father to know clearly." ”

Yuan Xuanhao coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Jue'er is not in good health, so I sent someone to tell me early in the morning." ”

"Yes, yes, it's all Erchen's fault, Erchen, this is like the ninth brother's compensation."

Seeing this, Concubine Shugui's face became even more gloomy, and her long armor was almost broken alive.

Seeing Yuan Peize looking like this, Li Mo felt a little more disgusted with him in her heart.

Yuan Yuge looked around, and when his gaze fell on Li Mo, a momentary loss of concentration appeared on his perfect face.

Isn't this the girl who scolded her on the street last time, although she was wearing a man's clothes, but with his ability to recognize people for so many years, he could still recognize her daughter at a glance.

Limo was eating a duck's paw with relish, when she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she found that there seemed to be a burning gaze firmly locking her.

She looked up and saw that the Nine Emperor Princes were looking at her with a cold gaze, and her heart "chuckled".

Suffered, Limo hurriedly lowered her head.

Yuan Hengjing, who was beside him, seemed to notice that something was wrong with Limo, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong, Mo'er, are you not feeling well?"

"No, I'm just a little hungry." She stumbled in a round of words.

"Well, that's good."

Presumably he recognized herself, although she was a little scared in her heart, but she thought that she didn't dare to do anything to her in this hall, so she pretended not to see it and chatted with Yuan Hengjing more happily.

Liufeng found that his master had been staring in a certain direction, so he followed Yuan Yuge's line of sight, and couldn't help but be amazed on his face.

It was a very beautiful woman, her beautiful eyes were clear and indifferent, and her expression was even more indifferent, like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.

Liufeng thought to himself, such a beautiful woman, no one can look back and can't take their eyes off it, presumably the master thinks the same.

couldn't help but lean over and ask, "Master, have you taken a fancy to the young lady next to His Royal Highness King Heng?" ”

Then he was not afraid of death and said: "When the banquet is over, my subordinates will go to find out if that girl is a match..."

The white-robed man's eyebrows were furrowed, and his purple eyes shone with a cold light. Almost instantly, the attendants standing near the main hall felt a chill at the same time, as if it could freeze everyone's minds.

"Are you itchy again?" Yuan Juege's voice was as low and magnetic as ever.

The voice fell, and the flowing wind knelt down with a thud, "The subordinates know their mistakes, and they are willing to listen to the master's fall." ”

"Next time, I'll cut my tongue myself." After Yuan Yuge finished speaking coldly, he listened to Liufeng and said respectfully, and said lightly, "Go and inquire about her origin." ”

Liufeng naturally understood that the master was talking about the girl next to His Royal Highness King Heng, and secretly complained in his heart: he didn't admit it on his lips, but he was very honest in his heart.

At this moment, a man wearing a light blue robe, with a white face and handsome eyebrows, shook a folding fan lightly and chuckled: "Father, the sons heard that the daughters of the Xiang family are all as beautiful as flowers, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance, so let them show their talents." ”

This person is Yuan Sicong, the second prince of Xiling Kingdom, who spends his days drinking and lingering in Fengyue places.

"Accurate!" Yuan Xuanhao's majestic voice was irresistible.

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Mu Tingxuan gave up his hand and patted Mu Wanrou and the others on the shoulder, "Go ahead." ”
