Chapter 136: Dismounting?
The queen replied with a smile: "Concubine Luo's beauty is famous in our Beiyan, she is the daughter of the Duke of Yunguo, and she is unique in color and art, even if you look at the world, I am afraid that you will not be able to find a few women with such a look." ”
Ouyang Qiancheng turned his head to Emperor Beiyan and said: "It is really a blessing for Your Majesty that God has bestowed such a beautiful woman on Your Majesty, but according to the main palace, it is a blessing for the people of Beiyan to have such a virtuous help as the Queen Mother." ”
Emperor Beiyan took the queen in his arms and nodded: "That's true, for many years, if it weren't for the queen who has been in charge of me, I don't know what I would be like now." ”
The prince on the side stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived, and the banquet should begin." ”
"Why hasn't Concubine Luo come yet? Send someone to see what the situation is. Emperor Beiyan said in a low voice.
The music in the main hall is soft and lingering, and the aroma of fat powder and the mellow aroma of spirits are mixed together, exuding a burst of extravagant taste.
Luoyue Palace.
"Mother, it's okay." The gold bracelet took a step back slightly and spoke.
Chu Luoyi sat in front of the mirror, quietly looking at this familiar face, except for being more pale and thin, almost the same as before.
If there is a gap, it is probably that the dark eyes are less sharp and flamboyant than before, a little less radiant, and more of a deathly silence and emptiness.
"Master, which garment are you going to wear today? Minions look at this good? Xiao Liuzi opened the cabinet and asked.
Looking at the bright red pointed out by Xiao Liuzi, Chu Luoyi's gaze did not wander, and his fingers painted with golden Danko gently stroked the gorgeous clothes, and finally stopped on a long black dress.
"That's what I'm wearing."
Xiao Liuzi didn't speak, but the gold bracelet and silver ring on the side were a little disapproving.
After everyone in the hall sat down one after another, Emperor Beiyan told some scenes, a famous girl wearing a pink coat, like a peach blossom, jumped up, and the long silk silk crossed the golden velvet carpet on the ground, like pink petals falling in the air, delicate and lovely.
The prince of Tanglin looked at the dancing girl in front of him and was immersed in it, his fingers grabbed the long silk silk, put it on the wing of his nose and gently sniffed the fragrance of the woman's body.
At this time, the prince walked in front of Emperor Beiyan and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Luo is here." ”
"Oh? Don't let her in yet. Emperor Beiyan got up and walked down the jade steps.
Emperor Beiyan's move, many people also got up, but they don't know what the emperor is doing when he walks down in person.
The eunuch outside the Qianyuan Hall shouted sharply: "Concubine Luo Niangniang has arrived!" ”
With the movements of Emperor Beiyan, the singing and dancing in the Qianyuan Hall suddenly stopped, and there was silence for a while.
Everyone followed the gaze of Emperor Beiyan to the door, and a slender figure, stepping on the golden light, slowly appeared in front of everyone.
As little by little appeared on the stone steps outside the hall, the woman finally appeared in front of everyone. The glow outside the hall was reflected in the woman's hair, shattering the sunset.
The pitch-black dress rippled on the woman's body like splashing ink, the orange-red embroidery thread was embroidered on the black dress into a bewitching mandala, as if swaying in the wind, and the flame-colored belt spliced by the red jade pinched the woman's unbearable waist.
On the simple bun, a cluster of red jade carved begonia flower crowns bundled with 3,000 green silks, and as the woman walked, you could see water waves flowing in it.
'Bang! With a sound, the wine glass in the hand of the prince of Tanglin fell on the incense table, and a pair of eyes could not take away from the woman who suddenly appeared.
His eyes moved up little by little, and he couldn't wait to catch a glimpse of the woman's face.
It's a pity that God doesn't seem to be attached to it.
Chu Luoyi's face was covered with a layer of black tulle, and it loomed so much that countless people wanted to tear it off.
There was only a burst of gasping in the hall, and no matter how soft the color was, it couldn't compare to the silence of the black.
Emperor Beiyan stepped forward with a smile: "Luo Luo, I heard that the prince said that you were unwell, and I thought you wouldn't come today." ”
"Today, all the countries are gathered, Beiyan is the host, although the concubines have no ability, they also want to do their best." The hoarse voice flowed faintly, with demagogic power.
Chen Qingxue looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, smiling enchantingly, unable to say why, and felt a little unhappy in her heart.
Ouyang Qiancheng's gaze also fell on Chu Luoyi, but in his heart, he was thinking about her status in the heart of Emperor Beiyan.
After all, it is difficult to forgive a mere palace concubine who is late on such an occasion, but Emperor Beiyan not only did not blame, but personally stepped forward to greet him, he was a little curious, where is this Luo Concubine Niangniang.
Emperor Beiyan took Chu Luoyi's hand and led her step by step through many pairs of eyes.
The smile on her face unabashedly showed what status this late, woman in a black dress had, in the heart of this greedy and beautiful emperor.
Concubine Rou stood on the jade steps, looking at Emperor Beiyan's concern, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was tightly clenched.
She is not unfavored, I believe that every woman with some status in this palace has had this emperor's short-lived love, but except for Concubine Mei back then, she rarely felt the heartfelt favor of Emperor Beiyan from anyone.
Thinking of Concubine Mei, Concubine Rou's gaze fell on Beiliuyun.
Concubine Mei is the mother of this Ninth Highness, she was favored almost at the same time as Concubine Mei, but Concubine Mei got far more than her, and even gave birth to the imperial heir before her, but even so, it was she who was sitting here today, not the dead Concubine Mei.
Chu Luoyi followed the steps of Emperor Beiyan, passing through everyone step by step, and his eyes swept over everyone in turn.
First saw the prince Beiliuye in a golden python robe, and then Beiliuhai in a black suit.
Then there was a silver-white robe, a lone wolf with a moon-looking moon embroidered with gold and silver thread. Chu Luoyi swept over Beiliuyun, his gaze did not stop, but he carefully collected his expression in his eyes.
Since hearing the sound of Wang Zhi's flute that day, he has not seen Beiliuyun, and he doesn't know what the situation of the Gu worm is.
Bei Liuyun's gaze also fell on Chu Luoyi, staring at Emperor Beiyan holding Chu Luoyi's hand, his face turned black.
Next, there are the six princes and the twelve princes, among the several princes, there is still no snow in the north, and he is tired of such a boring banquet.
After taking a few steps forward, Chu Luoyi's gaze fell on Ouyang Qiancheng, looking at that familiar face, the hand holding the Northern Yan Emperor tighter, his dark eyes were like ink, as if they could drip water, and the two points of light in his eyes seemed to turn into a sharp sword and burst out, suppressing boundless hatred.
Ouyang Qiancheng looked at those black eyes, and his heart was stunned, and the flamboyant red appeared uncontrollably in his mind.
The corners of his mouth under the veil were slightly hooked, Chu Luoyi slowly withdrew his gaze, and with the careful support of Emperor Beiyan, he climbed the jade steps step by step and walked towards his incense case.
Ouyang Qiancheng's gaze stared at the black back uncontrollably, and a thick disbelief flashed in his eyes.
It would.. It's so similar...
Qingxue saw Ouyang Qiancheng staring at the black back and lost his mind, a flash of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, since that woman died, she had never seen him staring at a woman who lost her mind, she clearly understood him, everything he wanted was just a bargaining chip to increase his power.
But just now, in this Beiyan, he would actually watch the favorite concubine of the Emperor of Beiyan lose his mind? A strong sense of jealousy rose in Qingxue's heart!
"Lolo, just sit down beside me." Emperor Beiyan didn't let go, pulled Chu Luoyi over, and actually pressed it on his dragon chair.
There was a sigh of embarrassment at the bottom, and the ministers of the DPRK and China wanted to admonish, but most of them had to remain silent for the time being because the envoys of various countries were present at the moment.
With a 'snap', the nails in the queen's hands were broken by her.
Now that she is at her age and status, she has already seen through the so-called love, and she no longer has any expectations for the Northern Yan Emperor, and everything she does is just for the interests of the family and the power of the entire Northern Yan Dynasty.
But even so, seeing Emperor Beiyan's current favor for Chu Luoyi, he still felt that it was not a taste in his heart.
The prince of Tanglin stepped forward and said: "I have always heard that Concubine Luo's appearance is stunning, unparalleled in the world, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation, but I don't know why Concubine Luo has been wearing a light veil, why don't you let me wait to see the true face." ”
Chu Luoyi's eyes fell on the prince of Tangling, dressed in a bamboo-green robe, with some oily hair and powdery face, a pair of triangular eyes, glowing with some obscene light, just one glance, you can know that he is a lustful person.
Emperor Beiyan turned his head to look at Chu Luoyi, and Chu Luoyi said lightly: "A few days ago, I occasionally felt a cold, so I had to do it, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”
The prince of Tanglin said with some unwillingness: "It seems that Niangniang needs to take care of herself, but now it is lively, and Niangniang has been wearing a veil, which seems to be a little unreasonable." ”
Emperor Beiyan frowned slightly, making it impossible to guess whether he was dissatisfied with the prince of Tanglin or dissatisfied with the actions of this concubine Luo.
"Qi Jingyu, I'm afraid you don't know, this is Beiyan's hospitality, and our Nanzhao has already learned it two days ago." Chen Qingxue's bright red Danko-painted nails slid through her lips, but the words she said were undisguised as sarcastic.
The gaze of the prince of Tanglin greedily swept over Qingxue's proud chest, and then touched his hair and said: "If this is the hospitality of your country, after returning to China, this palace must tell my father how Beiyan treated me Tangling." ”
Emperor Beiyan's face was a little ugly, and there was a hidden dragon power in his eyes: "Are you two dissatisfied with my Beiyan and deliberately causing trouble?" ”
Seeing the anger of Emperor Beiyan, Qi Jingyu felt a little fear in his heart, and when he retracted his gaze and saw the warning of his elder brother Prince Dongling, he didn't dare to speak for a while.
Chen Qingxue was not afraid, but she was slightly surprised when she saw Emperor Beiyan's eyes that were much clearer than before.
A few years ago, she had seen Emperor Beiyan once, and she only felt that if Beiyan had been in charge of this lustful and mediocre emperor, it would not be fearful, but now it seems that those eyes that were originally muddy and sloppy have become clear, which is strange.
Seeing that the prince of Tanglin lowered his head and retreated, he cursed in his heart, and continued: "Isn't it unreasonable to go to the banquet with a veil? ”
"Yu Li's disagreement?" Chu Luoyi asked with a chuckle, a pair of phoenix eyes locked on Qingxue, like a poisonous snake, spitting out a bright red core.
Qingxue's fingers trembled inexplicably, but she saw that the woman sitting on the dragon chair continued unhurriedly: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is inevitably a little noisy, if it is said that it is not in line with the etiquette, this palace would like to ask which family you are referring to in accordance with the etiquette?" Where is the inconsistency? ”
Qingxue was speechless for a while, staring at those black eyes, and she was unspeakably uncomfortable.
