Remember [2016] in one second or enter it on your mobile phone: Please attach: [Title + Author]

Around the end of the evening, three carriages were parked outside the gate of Luofu, and just looking at this formation, you could know how honorable the people inside were.

The one at the front was the old lady and the Qu mother and daughter, the last one was the Jiang family, Luo Qingwan, and Lin Qi, because of the invitation of His Royal Highness the Prince, was the concubine, and sat alone in the middle.

The traces of the car wheel imprint from the East Street Luofu, straight through the Lin'an Street, all the way from the Zhenghe Gate, detour to the Taihe Palace.

Jinding Palace, red door vermilion lacquer, different from Jinluan Hall and harem dormitory, the main hall here is not wide or narrow, still enough to accommodate 100 people, cloud wood is the beam, the light is sparse on the top, all around are inlaid with colorful jade, the pearl of the night of a hundred flowers is pendant, the light is hanging, the faint halo is sprinkled, soft as the bright moon covers the top.

The main hall is in the package type, there is no open door in it, follow the eyes, only to see the golden and brilliant color, from the inside to the outside, are all to the white jade paving as the road, enter the palace pavilion road three zhang, there are three steps below, on both sides are pools, at this time the frost freezes its surface, the night fragrance comes at night under the water, slowly fills the mouth and nose, can not help but feel relaxed and happy.

The design of the inside and outside of this palace can be called exquisite, I heard that this palace is designed and supervised by the ancestor of the previous dynasty, and later the main one is used to receive important foreign history officials and ministers, the palace door is rarely opened on weekdays, and the children of the royal family can only enter at the time of the feast.

Of course, a feast like today's canonization of the crown prince and prince must be held in the Taihe Palace.

Because it was a dinner party, the Taihe Palace Gate was lit early all the way, and the palace maids were in charge of both sides.

Lin Qi got out of the carriage with the old lady and the others, and slowly walked all the way into the hall, and the palace guard shouted loudly, "Miss Luofu has arrived." ”

But at that time, everyone's eyes stopped for a moment, but it was not the old lady or Luo Qingwan who was looking at it, but Lin Qi, who was following the old lady and walking in the middle.

Lin Qi is wearing the peacock feather white striped brocade rain silk skirt sent by Xiao Chengyue today, a light brocade color, just wrapping the waist layer by layer, the temperament is undoubtedly revealed, Lin Qi's skin is already white and tender, today a little powder, a little cinnabar mole in the center of the eyebrows, and the picturesque face is lined exquisitely, exuding fairy energy from the inside out.

"Could this be the legendary peacock feather with feathers as silk? I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it today, and there are really treasures in this world, which is really beautiful. ”

"I think that clothes are not as beautiful as people, clothes are dead, but people are alive, you look at that woman, fairy-like face, this is stunning, but I don't know which lady it is, I have never seen it in Lin'an."

"Look, isn't the second lady of the Luo family next to her? I've never heard of such a stunning lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion! Could it be a maternal relative? ”

"Such a beauty, it turned out to be Luo Baisu, the third lady of the Luo family, is it the person who pretended to be a man in Yunfu a few days ago to recruit relatives? I heard that there is still a marriage contract with Prince Ning. ”

"Isn't this the third lady of the Luo family who was rumored to be rumored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince some time ago? Today's prince's celebration banquet, she dressed like this to attend the banquet, but she wants to implement her relationship with His Royal Highness the prince? ”

"I heard that her miraculous doctor has created blessings for the north of the border, and the emperor wants to reward her meritorious deeds, which is personally rewarded by the emperor, but it is inevitably too valuable, I am really envious."

……

All of a sudden, there were voices of discussion, admiration, ridicule, fear, but even more, envy.

King Ning and the crown prince are the two strongest parties in power now, and they are also the two people that many noble women in Lin'an want to marry the most, of course, Xiao Chengyue is even worse, and Luo Baisu can be involved with both of them without saying a word, how can he not arouse jealousy.

Luo Qingwan listened to the overflowing voice around her, her face was red and white, these honors and favors should have been hers, she was the most precious daughter of the Luo family, she was obviously beautiful and talented, she was better than Luo Baisu in everything, why was she always in the limelight.

Lin Qi sat down with everyone, his face was bland and impermanent, he couldn't set off a trace of waves, and between his gestures, he had proper etiquette and decent temperament.

Lin Qi raised his head slightly, his eyes were kind, neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked upward.

Emperor Sheng Zhi and Empress Zheng have not yet arrived, the rest of the people are almost here, Xiao Chengyue is the protagonist today, since he is sitting on the nearest high position from the first place, there is a vacant seat beside him, and below, on the left is the prince and prince, the ministers of Beijing and the nobles of various families.

On the right, there are princesses, harem concubines, and daughters and ladies of various families.

Lin Qi raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Chengyue, it happened that Xiao Chengyue was also looking at her, his eyes were facing each other, and he could see what he wanted to say from the other party's eyes without words, his eyes were full of appreciation, but more affirmation, as if to say, don't be afraid, everything is with me.

Lin Qi smiled at her, the corners of his mouth pulled out a small arc, and suddenly, he felt a dangerous gaze sweeping from the opposite side, Lin Qi looked sideways, and it was Xiao Qingyi, the king of Ning, sitting opposite.

Xiao Qingyi was wearing a dark red brocade dress today, because of the news that he was sick, he didn't drink alcohol today, but picked up the hot tea on the side and drank it slowly, his eyes have never moved away since Lin Qi entered the hall, and he just looked at Xiao Chengyue, and he saw it in his eyes.

Seeing that Lin Qi was also looking in his direction, the corners of Xiao Qingyi's mouth twitched slightly, and he held the cup high towards Lin Qi, intending to toast you.

Luo Qingwan's eyes began to look in the direction of Xiao Qingyi as soon as she entered the door, and she naturally saw it at this time, and her face changed again and again.

finally couldn't help but say, "Hmph, no matter how beautiful she is, she really thinks of herself as the master, and she doesn't take a mirror to look at her bewitching face, she will only come out to hook up with people." ”

Lin Qi ignored her, and then looked down, and the person wearing a purple and silver crown on the opposite side was Xiao Hanyun, the sixth prince.

I heard that Xiao Hanyun was originally the son of Concubine Shu, after Concubine Shu's death, she was fostered under the knee of Queen Duanyuan for two years, since the death of Queen Duanyuan, she became independent, and when she was in Beijing, she often followed Xiao Chengyue's side, but almost only ran in the palace and the Three Princes' Mansion, and did not go out, so she had not fought with Lin Qi head-on.

By Xiao Hanyun's side is Xiao Jingxun, the Seventh Highness, and the younger brother of Xiao Chengyue's mother, who is about the same age as Lin Qi, but he heard that there is evidence of autism, and he doesn't like to talk to people on weekdays.

Emperor Shengzhi had five sons and two daughters, during which the two princesses and the four princes died young, Xiao Jingxun was the youngest prince of Emperor Shengzhi, since the death of Queen Duanyuan, Emperor Shengzhi concentrated on government affairs, and most of the harem concubines were neglected, even the queen Zheng Wucian was the same, and there was nothing in the harem for many years.

"Your Majesty, Empress, Shen Liangdi has arrived."

But at that time, there was a propaganda at the door, as everyone got up and saluted, looking for a look, only to see Emperor Sheng Zhi and Empress Zheng coming together, Empress Zheng joined hands with a daughter, dressed in gold and jade clothes, beautiful and white, with a gentle smile, dignified and elegant.

A few people walked up to the main hall, Empress Zheng stretched her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Nian'er, go to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no shortage of people to serve your aunt." ”

"Yes."

After saying that, Shen Yunnian Shi Ran bowed, turned around and grabbed Xiao Chengyue's arm, "Your Highness, it's time to take a seat." ”

Xiao Chengyue paused, wanting to let go of her hand, who knows, Shen Yunnian whispered a few words in his ear, and then, Xiao Chengyue's face changed, met her hand, and sat directly on the right seat, but his eyes kept following Lin Qi under the main hall.

In fact, Shen Yunnian said that today's guests are feasting, and the emperor and queen are there, even if they don't care about her face, they must also take care of the emperor's face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shen Liangdi have a really good relationship, presumably the news of the canonization of the crown princess will come out soon."

"Yes, for so many years, Shen Liangdi has been guarding the Three Princes' Mansion, a woman supports a family alone, and this crime is not comparable to any woman, and it is reasonable to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have today's honor, which can be said to be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon."

"See, this is the main person of the family, what kind of limelight is blind." Luo Qingwan leaned over and mocked in her ear.

Lin Qi was like five thunderbolts in an instant, she lowered her head and listened to all the discussions around her, her face was still peaceful, but her heart was already turbulent.

There were already people around him, but she didn't know what it was to fall in love under the moon before that, live and die together?

Xiao Chengyue said that he only loved her, and she handed over all her hearts, in exchange for his deception?

In the eyes of outsiders, the person who followed Xiao Chengyue to endure hardships was Shen Yunnian, and the person who now guards the clouds and sees the moon is also Shen Yunnian, and the person who will join hands with Xiao Chengyue in the future is also Shen Yunnian, and what about her?

Since there is already someone around him, why should he provoke her!

Regarding Shen Yunnian, Lin Qi has never known, he has never seen her when he went to the Three Kings' Mansion several times before, and Xiao Chengyue didn't mention a word, but it turned out that she was the only one who didn't know.

At this moment, the two people in the palace are like golden boys and girls, and she is more like an outsider, which makes people laugh.

Lin Qi only shook his eyes slightly, tried his best to suppress the anger and sadness in his heart, his hands under his sleeves tightly pulled the sleeves, and in an instant, he threw out a few silver needles and pierced them at his fingertips, the pain permeated her whole body, and instantly woke her up.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Emperor Shengzhi gave an order, and everyone immediately raised their glasses and stood up, and said in unison: "The ministers (sons) wish our emperor a thousand years of prosperity, longevity, the queen's face will stay forever, the blessings will continue, His Royal Highness the prince Shen Liangdi, born early, and forever Mu Tongguang." ”

Lin Qi stood in the crowd, saying blessings one by one, but Xiao Chengyue stood on the hall and stared at her tightly, the eagerness in his eyes was scorching, for fear that she would misunderstand something.

Rich language into the feast, followed by the song and dance of Yongle Fang, the sound of silk and bamboo around the ear, there is a lady of the noble family on the side to take the silk piano to play, for a while the staggered singing and dancing are leveled, the aroma of wine overflows and the drum music is sounding in unison.

"I often hear that Miss Luo's talent is unparalleled, and today I saw that both of them were really stunning, I don't know what talent I prepared today to congratulate His Royal Highness the Prince?"

In the crowd, not just someone shouted, Lin Qi kept his head down and drank without noticing, but at that time, Luo Qingwan beside him chuckled and stood out.

"On the day of His Royal Highness the Prince's great joy, I should congratulate him wholeheartedly." Luo Qingwan got up, bowed slightly to the people in the main hall, and said, "The courtiers made a song some time ago, and it just so happens that all the seniors present today are asking for advice, I don't know, can you?" ”

"Miss Luo Er doesn't have to be humble, since she has such a heart, she thinks she is perfect, and I agree."

Emperor Sheng Zhi said a word, and everyone present didn't dare to say anything, but everyone knew that what they wanted to see was Luo Baisu, not this humble concubine.

As she spoke, Luo Qingwan stepped forward, took the crested fiddle handed over by the side, and unfolded it melodiously, it was really like the sound of the five immortals, especially beautiful.

I have to say that although Luo Qingwan has an annoying personality, her appearance is somewhat similar to Luo Baisu, and she grew up beside her mother since she was a child.

Today, she was obviously prepared, and she gambled all the chances of turning over on this Hongmen feast, she was sure that Luo Baisu would definitely lose.

After finishing the song, Luo Qingwan Shi Ran stood up, saluted everyone present one after another, returned to his seat, and said with a smile, "Sister, it's your turn." ”
