Chapter 46: Chinese New Year's Eve

Murong Xi and Mu Qing returned to the Qingshu Pavilion together.

The noise just now disappeared in a flash, making Murong Xi feel that the emptiness in his heart was even heavier.

Suddenly, I thought of my mother again, and I couldn't help but play with the big hand of the person beside me in a trance, muttering.

Mu Qing only quietly hugged the person in his arms tighter.

"Mu Qing, I miss my mother." Murong Xi's voice was soft.

The person behind him was stunned, raised his hand and stroked the hair of his sideburns behind his ears, and lowered his head to press it against his forehead.

Seeing that it was soon Chinese New Year's Eve, although the entire royal mansion was busy, full of red silk and full of festivities, the mastiffs made a scene of extreme excitement.

Murong Xi took a deep breath, always feeling that there was a lack of charm.

She raised her hand to her lower abdomen, suddenly hoping to have a child.

The regent and the princess are affectionate and loving, and the whole palace is also happy.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the two entered the palace together on a carriage.

All kinds of things from the day before yesterday still seem to be echoing in my mind, lingering, but now the two hands are tightly clasped together, snuggling up to each other.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a palace banquet in the imperial city, headed by the little emperor and the empress dowager, and Concubine Gao never participated, and only one person was deserted in the Yanqing Palace.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, ministers had to attend a palace banquet and have dinner together before returning home to celebrate the New Year with their relatives to show that the princes were of the same heart.

The lobby is magnificent, the gold and silver decorations look magnificent and beautiful in the candlelight, the palace maids serve on the left and right, and the exquisite dishes and mellow wine make everyone indulge in pleasure.

But Murong Xi couldn't be happy.

As long as she thinks of her mother concubine who is still in the cold palace and the imperial brother whose safety is unknown, her heart is like a knife.

She wanted to go back, even if it was just to see her mother.

However, the emperor is young, there is no queen in the harem, and everything is decided by the queen mother, how can that woman allow her to go back to Murong?

Murong Xi didn't know the taste of food, so he only pursed his lips and helplessly stirred the food on the plate with chopsticks.

Knowing the thoughts of the people next to her, Mu Qing reached out and hugged her.

On the top of the main hall, there are dancing girls stepping on the drum and piano sound, and the clouds under their feet move slowly, as if they are pushed into the hall by the wind outside the hall.

All of them were dressed in pale pink water-sleeved dresses, with bells wrapped around their ankles, half-covering their faces, and there seemed to be someone hiding in the crowd.

Hearing the sound of music, the long sleeves were flicked, and the girl hidden in the middle of the crowd appeared.

A red dress looks graceful and charming, with a peony rolled with gold thread at the hem of the cuffs, graceful, luxurious, colorful and beautiful, and bells are also tied at the ankles.

Only the long sleeves of water cover the eyebrows, and only the smooth forehead can be faintly seen.

The music changed again, and I saw that the man leaned over, turned around slowly, and covered his face slightly with his hands, and his half-covered delicate appearance made everyone present stunned.

The dancers on that stage danced the white silk dance, a dance that is said to be profound but few people know it.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the stage.

I saw that the man was playing the music, and a pair of sleeves flew up and down, dancing like a dragon, which made everyone marvel.

Some people even forgot to eat in their hands, and only looked intently at the people on stage with their backs to their bodies.

β€”β€”The long sleeves flicked by, bringing a burst of fragrant wind.

The tone of the music suddenly became faster, and the long sleeves also flew up quickly, catering to the sound of the lute. The flying sleeves were quickly thrown out and retracted, and the flying sleeves that rotated and jumped in the air bloomed like red plums, reflecting the flying snow outside the hall.

Raise your eyebrows and turn your sleeves like snow flying, and the city is independent of the world. [Tang Li Bai's "White Words"]

The music suddenly became tactful, and the woman fluttered her sleeves and spun her body, and the whole person floated like a fairy.

"Look at the ground!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

I saw that white flowers had formed in the place where the woman walked, and I couldn't help but be shocked again. After a song, the man fell to his knees and covered his cheeks with his sleeves.

"Okay, it's a good dance, reward!" The Queen Mother seemed to be extremely happy and applauded, and for a while the whole hall applauded, but saw that the man slowly lowered his arms.

Murong Xi was shocked to find that that person was actually Lin Xuanying!

I saw a smile on the corner of his lips, and he lowered his head to salute, but the important ministers looked at each other but didn't dare to say more.

Lord Lin knelt down with a smile and shouted: "May I admire the country for a thousand years, and be blessed with all the blessings!" ”

Those courtiers were startled and hurriedly followed the salute, but a stubborn young man frowned, raised his clothes and knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty Lin's Xuanying sword, how can you come to the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet now?" ”

Lord Lin glared at him sharply.

The Queen Mother said unhurriedly: "Concubine Lin Xuanying was attacked by something a few days ago, and now it is very good." A few days ago, he had already reflected on it and copied the scriptures to pray for the emperor. ”

"The harem cannot be without a concubine for a day." The Queen Mother said righteously and her words were full of loopholes, but the young courtier was not easy to refute.

Murong Xi only held his chin and looked at Lin Xuanying, who had climbed back to his original position, but he didn't care in his heart.

She looked sideways at the people around her, only to see them looking at her as well.

Looking at each other, the two of them smiled and bent their eyes, which made Lin Xuanying clench her silver teeth.

She was imprisoned in the cold palace, and her father reported her as a patriarch of the Kai Dynasty.

originally thought that he would stay in the cold palace for the rest of his life, but he didn't want his father to use the 30,000 horses he had privately cultivated in his hands and more than eighty percent of the property in his name to keep him out, and let him swear that only the empress dowager would look forward.

Lin Xuanying was forced to take the secret poison of the royal family, and the whole person was like a puppet.

But she didn't care.

Mu Qing's ruthlessness made her no longer obsessed with her.

Lin Xuanying only wanted Murong Xi and Mu Qing to taste the pain they had tasted.
