Hearing this, Murong Xi closed his eyes full of loss deeply, suddenly let go of her, stepped off the bed, and stood up straight, "This king understands your intentions, imperial sister!" With that, he waved his sleeves and strode away.

The pearl got up, stared at the tall figure through the moonlight that poured in through the paper window, and gradually moved away from him.

Is it all over?

After saying this, will he really not provoke himself again in the future?

The pearl hung her face, her cold palm covered her little face, and a soft and gentle sentence floated into her mind: you should bring an umbrella when you know that it is going to rain, and don't start if you know that there will be no results!

Tears spilled out unconsciously, and the beads wiped their faces and lay down again. This kind of unconventional thing will never be received.

It's good for each other to end it before it starts. What's more, he has more important things on his shoulders. She didn't want to ruin him because of this. In that case, she will never forgive herself.

……

……

The days flickered, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

Since returning to the palace, the missing pearl has not been in contact with Murong Xi, and often does not attend the palace banquet because he is sick.

She has no choice, because if she wants to make herself work hard not to love someone, she must not be cheap and not see.

So she was willing not to see him again.

Such thoughts are really selfish!

She didn't know what Murong Xi thought, she asked herself not to inquire about any news about him, during this period of time, even Su Chun and Jin Xia thought she was so strange, and they went outside the city to intercept the Seventh Prince for a while, but asked them not to talk about the Seven Princes again.

Su Chun and Jin Xia have been in the palace since they were children, and naturally they don't understand love, so they don't know why their princess's emotions are so abnormal.

In order not to let herself think so much, she began to learn female red with the palace maid's mother, and even learned to play the piano and dance, she wanted to let the busy anesthetize herself. Besides, she is a princess, if she doesn't know how to play the piano and dance these basic things, she will really laugh to the teeth.

After studying for a few months, Su Chun and Jin Xia were very surprised by the changes in their princesses.

In the past, she was most disgusted with learning these etiquette lessons, but now she is......

It's a good change, though, isn't it?

*******************************************************************

Mid-Autumn Festival feast, the emperor held a feast in the Yanfu Hall of the imperial palace, feasting the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials.

I heard that this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival court banquet was very grand, and the banquet would invite the civil and military officials in the court and some officials and young ladies because the emperor intended to choose a princess for several unmarried princes. Among them, Zhao Chuyao was also taken to the palace.

She didn't want to come, but when she thought of seeing her beloved man at the palace banquet, she reluctantly followed her father to attend.

What she knows is that the emperor is already old, and it is a matter of time before the prince is chosen, and the seventh prince has already been crowned king, but she has no chance with the throne, and she has known that she can't marry her beloved, so she has always been depressed.

From afar, I heard the singing and dancing in the Yanfu Palace, and the chatting of hundreds of officials unconsciously. Come to think of it, many officials and their families came early to enjoy the food and singing and dancing feast, and they have never seen the official ladies of several princes, so they can have a full view of the 'prosperous beauty' of several princes.

Outside the door of the Yanfu Hall stood the Ouchi guards, and inside the door stood the eunuchs who reported the identity of the visitor. The lost pearl is the last princess to enter the scene, because the two marriages were broken, the lost pearl can be said to be famous in the city. People who have never seen her are speculating about how unbearable this princess of the pearl is, so that the famous genius in the city, Man Changqing, would rather risk his life to choose that civilian woman than choose the princess of a country.

But now I saw her come in bright clothes. Light walking. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all held their breath from time to time, although they lowered their heads, their eyes were locked on the princess who had only seen a few faces.

She has always liked Sujing, but today is a palace banquet, and there are hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, so she listened to Su Chun's words more, wearing a jade hairpin and gold crown on her head, Su Jian's jewelry on her neck, embroidered with gold thread on her skirt, and wearing orange and gold trimmed clothes on her body, and the outer cover is like a transparent gauze gown. Two curved willow eyebrows, bright teeth and starry eyes, apricot face and peach cheeks, glamorous and compelling, but like a fairy concubine, like a painting.

She rarely wears such a bright color, but compared with the usual plain clothes, she adds a little more charm. compared the notoriously beautiful Chang Ning.

And Chang Ning took Pei Yi's hand and sat down early in the morning, looking at the late arrival of the missing pearl, she wanted to laugh at her, but seeing her so charming, as soon as the civil and military officials in the court saw her appear, their souls seemed to be hooked, which made her grit her teeth, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth and endure indignantly not to speak, she was not stupid, and she knew that opening her mouth at this time would definitely make her more eye-catching. She looked sideways at the colt beside her, only to see that his eyes only lingered on her for a short time, although she was dissatisfied, but in the end it was still within the range of her acceptability.

Now that their relationship has finally eased somewhat, she doesn't want to change back to the same as before because of that slut who lost the pearl.

Although her colt doesn't talk much to herself, at least the two of them have a love of fishing and water, and at night, he will take the initiative to touch her, although not gentle. But it also made her happy, at least he was willing to touch her, which proved that she was not far from the time when she could get his heart.

However, Pei Yi, who was beside her, swept her eyes when she saw the pearl that had just entered the hall, and her heart was shocked, but she had to forcibly look away.

At this time, compared with her previous elegant and refined temperament, she was dressed in a red dress and heavy makeup, and she was more charming, and her gestures were fragrant. It can attract the attention of others. He liked her, not because of the way she looked. It's her character, which he understands very well. But now seeing her dressed up in another way, he couldn't sit still.

However, he couldn't show any flaws in front of Chang Ning, so he forced himself to look away, forcing his thoughts to be removed by others, but his mind was full of her smiles and frowns. Even in the past few months, when he pressed Chang Ning under him, he imagined that the people under him were her......

It's a pity that Chang Ning doesn't look like the lost pearl.

……

In the originally lively Yanfu Palace, it suddenly quieted down, and all the eyes of the civil and military officials fell on the princess who had just entered the palace.

is obviously such a beautiful and moving woman, why did that talented man Changqing give up such a princess so much and choose a commoner?

Chang Ning entered the palace with Pei Yi early, she thought she knew about the lost pearl and the breeze, and tried her best to make her look good at the palace banquet. Even more let her not marry that breeze, and then Pei Yi will completely die to that slut.

As soon as she thought that she could shine at the palace banquet today, and the slut who lost the pearl would be ridiculed, she couldn't help but be excited.

When she waited for a long time, and finally looked forward to the pearl entering the temple, all the excitement and excitement were finally transformed into the light of the poisonous imminent success, and shot silently towards the jewel dressed up outside the door of the temple like a sharp arrow.

Although the distance was very far, the pearl outside the hall was still sensitive to Chang Ning's vicious gaze.

She pursed her lips and took a secret breath. accepted the status quo of fate, but still couldn't accept the smug appearance of Chang Ning, a vicious woman.

However, even though she is now in the outer palace, she has not been out of the palace for a few months, and she does not see her often. I made myself a lot quieter.

Murong Xi sat down at the table and had a full view of the situation inside, including...... Chang Ning looked at the eyes of the lost pearl viciously. He turned his head and looked at the people who had just stepped into the temple.

I saw that she had a delicate face, which looked beautiful and moving because of the slight powder, but it was difficult to take off her eyes at a glance. It's no wonder that Chang Ning looked at her with such eyes.

This banquet palace didn't know who arranged the position, and when the lost pearl came to Murong Xi's side under the guidance of the slave, his body stiffened inexplicably.

"Ninth Princess, your place is here." The minion bowed his head and gestured for her to take her seat.

The bead turned slightly, and his gaze fell on Murong Xi, who was originally seated, and looked sideways at the servant who was about to retreat, "Who arranged this position, shouldn't this palace sit with other imperial sisters?" ”

When the servant heard this, he was a little frightened, and immediately bent down, "Back to the ninth princess, this was arranged by Gonggong Li of the Internal Affairs Office, claiming that the emperor ordered him to come down and let the princess sit with Prince Ping." ”

The jewel sighed secretly, and looked at the chair in the hall, whose master had not yet appeared. She reluctantly dismissed the minions and went straight to the table.

My father did bad things with good intentions. She didn't want to meet Murong Xi anymore, thinking about tonight's palace banquet, he was the prince, she was the princess, and the seats of the two would not be too tight. As a result, his father thought that he and Changning Leyang had a bad relationship, so he directly arranged himself at a table in Murong Xi.

The hand under the sleeve of the lost pearl clenched tightly into a fist, saying that it was missing. But when she smelled the familiar and unfamiliar fragrance of the person beside her, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at him.

At this time, he was dressed in a purple robe, with a silver belt around his waist, and silver boots on his feet, his face was like white jade. Peach blossom eyes are still hooked. He was still expressionless, but it didn't affect his handsomeness at all.

I haven't seen him for months, and his aura is still so suffocating. Jiao Yizhu immediately put away his eyes.

"Imperial sister, I haven't seen you for a few months, and it's better than before." Suddenly, the people around him spoke, and there were no waves in their eyes.

Yizhu nodded at him with some weakness, "Imperial Brother Miao praised." ”

His eyes darkened, and he didn't speak again.

Chang Ning and Pei Yi's seats were opposite the two of them. Therefore, the interaction between the missing pearl and Murong Xi clearly fell in Pei Yi's eyes.

He always felt that something was wrong, he had heard that the pearl had always had a deep relationship with the Seventh Prince, and the relationship between the two of them was better than that of Chang Ning and the brother and sister of the same mother as the Seventh Prince. However, why do you see the interaction between the two now, it seems to be like the rumors.

"The emperor has arrived! The queen has arrived! The four concubines have arrived! Without waiting for Pei Yi to finish his doubts, he listened to the chief eunuch on the high platform, shaking Buddha Chen and shouting.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Murong Sheng and Empress Yu appear in full costume, followed by Murong Sheng's four imperial concubines.

The civil and military officials kowtowed and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" Welcome to the Queen, Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

Murong Sheng sat down and called in a deep voice: "All the ministers are flat!" ”

The civil and military officials thanked each other for a while, and then they all sat up straight.

Murong Sheng was on the high seat, taking in all the civil and military officials in the Yanfu Palace. His gaze lingered on Murong Xi, the Seventh Prince, for a moment, and then landed on the bead beside him, and an imperceptible light crossed his eyes.

The bead was sensitive, and when he noticed Murong Sheng's gaze pouring on him, he raised his eyes and threw a complaining look at him.

When Murong Sheng received this look, his body was stunned, obviously he didn't know what his daughter's eyes with a hint of grief meant, so he looked away, thinking that he would ask her when the palace banquet was over.

He cleared his throat and said a few words in a deep voice, probably on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the monarchs and ministers had fun together, so that everyone did not have to be restrained and waiting.

At the end, the chief eunuch announced the beginning of the feast, and showed off the carefully prepared programs of the palace musicians and kabuki one by one.

The pearl is not interested in singing and dancing, but she still looks at it directly. She didn't want people to suspect that she had anything to do with Murong Xi......

But isn't it even more strange if the two brothers and sisters sit together and don't speak?

In addition, in order to convince Pei Yi that she was in love with Qingfeng, she acted in front of him before, but now she has not left the palace to find Qingfeng for several months, which is really suspicious. But at this time at the palace banquet, Qingfeng, who was a guard, was not qualified to participate at all. can only guard outside the door, and when the missing pearl thinks of this, he can't help but look at the guards outside the door.

And of course, the breeze will not be able to guard the gate of this main hall.

The details of the missing pearl's eyes fell on Chang Ning's eyes, and she snorted coldly in her heart, she didn't know how long the lost pearl had not met Qingfeng. But I haven't met my lover for a while, so I look so lovesick. However, this is also good, it shows that she can't do without that breeze. Chang Ning thought about it like this, and his heart was overjoyed.

Her eyes flickered viciously, and she looked outside the door for a while, and looked at the missing pearl for a while, and she didn't know what she was secretly planning......

When all the court songs and dances were performed, it was proposed that the sons of the family perform on stage.

This is a must-have drama for palace banquets over the years, the purpose is to show the unknown excellence of many golden princes, or to make Murong Sheng like to accept him as a concubine, or to be taken by the prince to marry a princess, no matter how bad it is, it is not bad to find a good person.

This proposal was quickly approved by Murong Sheng and Empress Yu.

As a result, many daughters have taken the stage to perform. Those who performed well were rewarded with a lot of applause and Murong Sheng's seal. If you don't behave well, you will be counted by your family and ridiculed by others.

When no one was on stage to perform again, someone suddenly proposed: "Father, son-in-law propose, why don't you let a few princesses of my father come to sing and dance?" ”

It was none other than the Fourth Prince Murong Key. Ever since he knew that Le Yang was good at dancing, but a few days ago, he asked her to dance in front of him, and she didn't agree. also hurriedly left the place where the two had a tryst, which made him depressed for a few days. Today, if I get the opportunity, I will let her perform on stage.

When his words landed, he was immediately echoed by many young talents under the skirts of the four princesses present.

Leyang and Princess Changning already have a concubine, but Princess Yongping is already reconciled, and there is still a chance, isn't it? And this princess who was ruined before is even more beautiful and moving, and her figure can be said to be even more exciting, okay?

When Le Yang heard this, he raised his eyes to give Murong Key a roll of his eyes. This series of actions all fell in Chang Ning's eyes.

Chang Ning's lips raised a amorous arc, and she couldn't hide her disdain in her heart, she knew the relationship between these two people, but she didn't want to mix more of their messy relationships between men and women.

Moreover, in her eyes, the performances of Kabuki and the daughters of the family are not worth mentioning at all. Although she is rude, she is better than other princesses in terms of dance.

Just count the missing beads, and nothing. Hehe, I've found an opportunity to make her embarrassed.

Facing everyone's excited calls, Chang Ning stood up shyly and timidly, and responded softly: "The Fourth Emperor Brother suggested like this, why don't you dance for everyone again." ”

When the sound fell, bursts of thunderous applause immediately came from all directions.

Chang Ning walked lightly, and under the baptism of everyone's expectant gaze, he walked towards the missing pearl sitting opposite.

But I heard her call gently: "Imperial sister, you have a good voice and play the piano exquisitely." Why don't you and I perform piano painting and song together? ”

In the Yanfu Palace, many young talents heard that Chang Ning invited the relics to perform piano painting songs and dances on the same stage, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Although Chang Ning is brutal and capricious, his talent is indeed brilliant and everyone knows it. It is not difficult for her to dance and paint at the same time. But the princess of the pearl, can she play the piano and sing? I've never seen her play the piano and dance.

Most of the people in the hall were looking forward to it, but Murong Sheng couldn't help but worry.

In fact, Chang Ning must have been unable to play the piano or sing in his heart, so he deliberately did this. She pretended to invite the lost pearl, the purpose was to make the lost pearl look good in front of everyone. Laughed at by everyone.

Chang Ning calculated well in his heart, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.

Yizhu knew what Chang Ning was thinking, but he remained silent and looked at the other party lightly.

"Imperial sister, what are you watching my sister do? Don't you want to? Chang Ningqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked again in a soft voice.

"Imperial sister, why don't you speak?" Every time Chang Ning opened his mouth to ask, the excitement in his heart rose a little.
