Chapter 285: Swimming in the Lake

There are currently six concubines in Long Xiguo's harem, who are from the Bai family, the Xu family, the Qian family, the Wang family, the Jiang family, and the He family. The three-general system has been abolished, and military power is controlled by the emperor alone.

In this banquet, the dragon case is set on the high steps, two steps down, and there are two cases on the left and right, one sits Shen Qingyi in front of it, and the other sits in front of the white concubine wearing a red palace skirt.

Under the imperial steps, there are high seats on the left and right, on the left are the seats of Xu and Qian's two concubines, and on the right are Wang, Jiang, and He Sanfei.

Forward, on the left and right, rows of cases are the seats of important ministers and their families.

All kinds of seasonal fresh vegetables and fruits, accompanied by fine wine, full of delicacies, very luxurious.

Bai Wanning sat on the high steps, she knew that Shen Qingyi didn't like her, so naturally she wouldn't go to the hot face and cold ass, the flattering behavior of the concubines made her despise, she sat upright on the seat, her neck was high, and her face was beautiful, like a proud swan.

In the lively atmosphere, with a sound of "Your Majesty has arrived", the emperor arrived, and the ministers got up to greet him.

However, the emperor did not come by himself, and behind him was a beautiful woman in a white dress and elegant appearance.

People were stunned, and the atmosphere immediately became unusual.

Chenguang is very familiar with this person, when she was Princess Rong, even if she didn't go out often, she was also very famous, at that time she was all good names, good at divination, empathetic, smart and lovely. After her "death", her reputation suddenly turned bad.

Her notoriety is even more "moving" than her good name.

Legend has it that it was she who killed the first emperor of Longxi Kingdom, and His Royal Highness King Rong successfully inherited the throne.

Legend has it that she is the Feng Lord of the Feng Ming Kingdom, the actual ruler of the Feng Ming Kingdom, who led the Feng Ming Kingdom to annex the Beiyue Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom, and she was ruthless and ruthless.

Legend has it that His Majesty intended to remarry her.

Today, she actually attended the county lord's birthday banquet with His Majesty, could it be said that this is a signal that the rumors of marriage are true?

The Bai family's face was ugly.

The Bai family hopes that Bai Guifei can become the queen, and Bai Guifei can give birth to the crown prince of Longxi Kingdom and the future Longxi Emperor.

Even if Bai Wanning was named a concubine, the Bai family did not give up hope, but now, the appearance of Chenguang slapped the Bai family hard, and the Bai family was anxious and angry. Once the phoenix lord of the phoenix kingdom is the queen, whether it is Bai Wanning or the other girls of the Bai family, there is no hope, then the Bai family's hope of being able to produce a prince will be dashed.

Bai Wanning's father, Lai Guogong, had a gloomy face.

Bai Wanning's face was even more pale, biting her lip, she was about to cry.

The row of concubines standing below looked at each other, and a few of the younger ones didn't know Chenguang, and they were at a loss for what to do.

Chenguang didn't care about the various eyes below, and sat beside Shen Run with a smile.

At the same table with His Majesty, everyone below gasped.

Shen Run did not object.

If Chenguang was still a princess, she would definitely have to take a step back, but she was the regent as the phoenix lord, so naturally she couldn't let her sit down a seat, so she could only sit on an equal footing with Shen Run.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw Bai Qi suddenly stand up, walk to the center of the main hall, and speak:

"Your Majesty, may I ask if you have the courage to ask, why is the Feng Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom in my Longxi Country?"

Shen Run glanced at him and said lightly:

"His Royal Highness Lord Feng came here for private business, and it coincided with the first birthday of the county lord, so he stayed to congratulate the county lord's birthday, Bai Qing didn't have to make a fuss."

The sentence "don't make a fuss" scared Bai Qi back, Bai Qi was embarrassed and annoyed, but he couldn't have a seizure, and returned to his seat in a sneer.

People were more and more surprised, and some people's faces were even more ugly than they had just been.

The banquet begins.

Because it's a child's birthday, in addition to singing and dancing, there are more artists who play tricks and play burlesque, which is much more lively and interesting than the usual banquet.

In the first half of the banquet, Chenguang had been eating, and in the middle of the banquet, the trick became more and more beautiful, and she watched it, and in the second half Xue Yao woke up, Chenguang held her in his arms and teased her.

It was warm in the palace, Xue Yao was wearing a new little skirt, hanging a longevity lock, dressed up with joy, sitting on Chenguang's lap, shaking the rattle that Chenguang gave her.

Shen Run was originally staring at the dancing girl below casually, but was attracted by Xue Yao's laughter, looked over, and pinched his hand on Xue Yao's fleshy face.

Xue Yao laughed even more happily and laughed a lot of saliva.

Shen Run laughed silently.

Chenguang smiled and wiped Xue Yao's mouth with a saliva towel.

Shen Run couldn't help but glance at her, and all he saw was a side face.

It was this glance that fell into Bai Wanning's eyes, which made her scratch her heart and lungs, and she couldn't wait to go up and tear Chenguang's face immediately.

Even onlookers can see what is hidden in that eye.

……

In the evening, the banquet was over, Shen Run drank a few glasses of wine at the banquet, wanted to disperse the wine, and was not in a hurry to go back, and slowly walked along the bluestone brick road to the Jiade Palace.

Chenguang didn't want to walk, so she said that she would take his dragon chariot back first and let him walk slowly behind, but Shen Run's face turned black, not only ordered someone to carry the dragon chariot back, but also walked so fast that he didn't wait for her at all.

Chenguang was dumbfounded, so he had to follow him, walking slowly, like a nocturnal turtle.

Shen Run walked for a while, probably deflated, gradually slowed down, and finally returned to her side, joined her, and walked forward slowly.

It's been a long time since we've walked together, but he can still adapt to her slow pace, and he slowly accompanies her, like walking a turtle.

Today the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the moon is like a silver plate. The warm breeze is gentle and comfortable.

The scenery of the road from Yongchun Palace to Jiade Hall is very beautiful, the flowers are fragrant, the lights are dim, the crows and birds are dumb among the branches, and occasionally there are patrolling soldiers walking by, bringing a little sound. By the lotus lake, it is the season when the lotus blooms, slim and elegant, with thousands of postures.

Shen Run stopped in front of the Lotus Lake.

The morning light was slightly stunned, took a step forward, stood by the lotus lake, and followed him to the dark lotus lake.

Chenguang didn't like water very much, especially in the middle of the night, so she took half a step back.

Shen Run withdrew his gaze from the lotus, glanced at her, and asked:

"Take a boat to the lake?"

"Huh?" She was stunned for a moment, she didn't want to wander around the dark lotus lake in the big night.

Just wanted to shake his head, Shen Run had already ordered someone to find a boat to launch into the water, and he looked very interested.

The people below were happy when they saw His Majesty, and they were also happy, and they passed it down one after another, and soon a pleasure boat appeared in the water, came with flowers, and stopped on the small pier.

Seeing this, Chenguang took a step back, and when he was about to take a second step back, Shen Run suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her along the dock to the boat.

The eunuch on the ship used a penny to prop up, and the ship sailed away from the shore and headed for the depths of the lotus.

The lotus flowers were all blooming on the water, swept away by the waves created by the boat's advance, slowly branching out the way to allow the boat to move forward.

Shen Run sat on the boat, looking at the scenery in the lake with great interest, with a smile on his lips, looking like he was in a good mood.

Chenguang thought that he had probably drunk a little too much today.
