The night was slightly cool, and the moonlight was cold.

Limo changed into a goose yellow fringed long skirt, outlining her concave and convex figure, her long hair like a waterfall was pulled up at will, and a few strands of hair were scattered and hung down next to her cheeks, revealing laziness and casualness.

Seeing that his young lady was going to the palace to attend Princess Xiyan's reception banquet, Su Ye asked a little anxiously, "Miss, are you really going to the palace to attend Princess Shalan's reception banquet?" ”。

"Go, of course." Limo replied categorically, without any hesitation.

"However, the Nine Emperor Princes ......" Su Ye was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, his own young lady was too aggrieved, and he actually wanted to attend the banquet of his rival.

"It's just an inconsequential person," Li Mo said disapprerovingly, since he was a stranger, what was there to awkward?

Although she didn't really want to go, but after all, this was a banquet in the palace, as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if she was absent, she would inevitably fall into the tongue, and it might make the emperor condemn the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't want to embarrass her father because of an inconsequential person.

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.

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.

The banquet officially began, and as the music slipped from the fingertips of the superb musicians, dozens of dancing girls in blue and tulle entered the venue to cheer everyone up.

For a while, I could see everyone's eyes, and 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 tassels hang lightly, the gold hook is like jade, the gold sand curtain hangs down on all sides, and the red tulle sways in the wind, showing a kind of dazzling momentum.

The retainers were sluggish.

Li Mo was directly dumbfounded, and after a long time, she muttered a sentence in her 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!

Liufeng bowed down and opened the sedan curtain, and at this moment Yuan Juege was sitting lazily, a gorgeous red dress floating on the edge of the white jade chair legs, red like fire, like the beautiful and bewitching Manzhu Shahua.

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, the red robe lined with his evil charm, beautiful face, narrow phoenix eyes with the unique nobility and elegance of the East, like a natural enchantment.

Heaven and earth seemed to be eclipsed in an instant, and this beautiful scenery seemed to exist only for him.

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 Wanrou, who has always been above the top, was attracted by Yuan Yuge's attention, the handsome man made her heart skip a beat, his temperament was so different from the ordinary people present.

If she could meet this man earlier, I am afraid that she would not be the prince who she wanted to marry, Mu Wanrou s eyes unconsciously chased after that figure, but from beginning to end, Yuan Yuge 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 was ordered to die by the emperor because she was framed, and a generation of beauties died like this.

The emperor remembered that the Nine Emperor Princes lost their mothers at a young age, and he always felt guilty and doted on him, which also aroused the dissatisfaction and jealousy of other princes.

The Emperor gave the Nine Emperors an exclusive seat for him - isolated from the crowd, located on the lower left side of the dragon chair, with a vacant seat.

"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.

The posture was arrogant and contemptuous, and Yanran didn't mean to deal with 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.

This Nine Emperor Princes seems to be evil and arrogant, under the bewitching appearance of the world, his personal style is extremely ruthless and perverse, and his methods are tough.

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 Yuge looked at Yuan Peize's majestic 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.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, this prince really lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot......

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

A beautiful figure in the distance attracted Yuan Yuge's attention, making his perfect face lose his concentration for a while.

She is really beautiful today, she is as beautiful as a fairy who is not stained with mortal dust, Yuan Yuge is really shocked.

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".

"Ahem, ahem—" Limo was so frightened that she choked on her own saliva.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was coughing so badly, Yuan Hengjing patted her back worriedly.

Limo shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just choked on my own saliva." ”

Presumably he recognized herself, although she was a little afraid in her heart, but she thought to herself, she didn't dare to do anything to her in this hall, so she pretended not to see it, and ate more cheerfully.

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 man in red furrowed his eyebrows and eyes, and his purple eyes glowed 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.

"Master, master, it's a decree from the palace!" Leng Yun trotted all the way and quickly ran into Yuan Hengjing's study.

The man in the study was holding a yellowed ancient book at this time, with white and slender fingers and distinct bones.

Hearing Leng Yun's exclamation, the fingers of the flip book paused slightly, he raised his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"The emperor invited the prince into the palace, saying that he had to tell him."

"Oh?" The man's voice was still as cold as water as before, but it was as cold as ice, what did Yuan Xuanhao want to do?

His eyes were mixed with fierce killing intent, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

Yuan Hengjing's biological mother had a low status, but she was still loved by the emperor at that time. Later, his mother fell seriously ill and passed away.

The people in the palace have always been high and low, Yuan Hengjing is even more like walking on thin ice without his biological mother, and the first emperor has never remembered this son.

If it weren't for Limo's help and care from time to time, he would have starved to death, and his food and clothing at that time were not even comparable to some eunuchs in the palace.

He still remembers that when he was about to starve to death, a little girl helped him up and brought him a meat bun, "Don't cry, it's so ugly, no one will dare to bully you with me in the future." ”

"Master!" Leng Yun opened his mouth and called out.

Yuan Hengjing looked sideways and put away the sadness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Leng Yun couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you sad again?" But are you missing Miss Mu Er again? ”

Yuan Hengjing seemed to be said to be on his mind, and a touch of sadness floated in his heart.

Leng Yun said again: "Master, since you like Miss Mu Er so much, why don't you show your heart to the emperor?" ”

"What if you show it?" Yuan Hengjing's clear voice was as cool as water, a little cooler than this night.

……

"But master, you have done so much for Miss Mu Er, if you don't say it, how will she know?"

Yuan Hengjing fell, turned to leave, and the moonlit clothes crossed an arc like water in the night.

If she had him in her heart, he wouldn't be so passive.

Perhaps, he really should have done something......

I used to think that loving someone is fulfillment, as long as the other party's choice hurts, it should be fulfilled, and she is happy. As everyone knows, it is better to fulfill others to give her happiness than to give her happiness yourself. There is a kind of love in the world, which is indifferent to everyone, but you are very fond of you, and that is me.
