Chapter 122: The Queen's Feast

Chinese Walking out of the courtyard with red sleeves, Lou Yue returned to Nanyuan, Nanshan had been waiting for him in the study for a long time, and said to him solemnly

"Lord Chen's handwritten letter has been handed over to the fifth princess. And the message to Concubine Ning's subordinates also brought it in person. Niangniang said, tomorrow everything will obey the orders of the prince! Lou Yue's face was as calm as a mountain, and he said coldly

"I'll give you a task, if there is an accident tomorrow, you don't need to care about me, but you have to do your best to protect her!" Hearing this, Nanshan's whole body was shocked, and his eyes looked at the master who had followed him for more than ten years.

Lou Yue didn't say it, Nanshan also knew who 'she' was in his mouth. In an instant, he understood Lou Yue's plan in his heart, and his heart ached - did he actually die with Queen Lou and even the entire Lou family?

"Master, my subordinates will not only protect the safety of Miss Liuying, but also protect the safety of the master!" Nanshan knelt down on one knee in front of Lou Yue, and tears fell on the bluestone bricks in front of him...... Looking at the loyal servant in front of him, Lou Yue's heart was also moved, he stretched out his hand to help him up, and said in a deep voice

"According to what I know about them, now that they know my true background, they will not let me go. And I, for the sake of my mother, are destined not to let them go. So, tomorrow is a battle of life and death! ”

"You have been in the Lou family for more than ten years, you should know how powerful they are. So tomorrow's battle, whether to win or lose, now there is no certainty at all, I can only plan for the worst outcome......"

"If I really were a Hudi, my life would be doomed...... And life and death don't matter to me anymore, the only one who is not at ease is her, so you promise me that you must protect her for me! Hearing Lou Yue's words, Nanshan's heart was sour, his eyes were red again, and he choked his throat

"No matter what your identity is, in Nanshan's heart, you will always be my master and my master for life!" Nanshan's words finally warmed Lou Yue's heart, and he unconsciously reddened his eyes and said in a deep voice

"Since you have been my master for life, listen to me carefully. Tomorrow, if something happens, you must escort her out safely! Looking at Lou Yue's firm and stubborn expression, Nanshan finally knelt down in front of him and solemnly responded!

Tell Nanshan, everything in Lou Yue is ready, and only one last wish remains. One took off, his figure disappeared into the vast night, and he braved the night to head towards the post house - at the last moment, he was going to see the person he cared about the most!

The banquet stickers for the queen's birthday banquet were also sent to Han Yu's hands, and thinking of the humiliation that Han Yu received in public that day, Changfeng and Anu both persuaded Han Yu not to go to the palace to attend the queen's birthday banquet.

Not only did Queen Lou not participate in the birthday banquet, according to Anu's meaning, Dayong would not participate in all the things in the future, and during the three-year hostage period, he didn't hear anything outside the window, and only closed the door in the small courtyard of this post house to live his life.

Han Yu took the banquet sticker and looked at Su Liuying, who was standing quietly on the side, with light in his eyes. Seeing him looking at himself, Su Liuying said

"If the son is too noisy and doesn't want to go, the slave can send a gift to the palace for the son, and the ceremony will be completed when the number of gifts arrives." Su Liuying thought that Han Yu was humiliated by Su Jiang in public on the street a few days ago, but he was afraid that he didn't want to appear in front of everyone at this time, so as not to be ridiculed.

Anu and Changfeng also thought that Su Liuying's method was feasible, but Han Yu shook his head and said

"Since I am here to be a hostage, how can I not go to the grand birthday of the queen of the middle palace? My trip is not for me personally, but for Beixian. Han Yu's words made Anu and Changfeng unable to refute it, but Su Liuying agreed with him in her heart, and couldn't help but say softly

"Tomorrow, I will accompany my son into the palace." Han Yu nodded in response, looked at the tiredness on her face, and told her to go back to her room and rest early, so that she could have the energy to participate in the palace banquet tomorrow.

Su Liuying really felt very tired, and she didn't refuse, exited the room and turned back to her own room in the backyard.

The moment she pushed the door in, the figure inside startled her! He was exclaiming, a familiar voice in a low voice

"It's me!" Hearing this, Su Liuying covered her mouth in surprise and quickly closed the door.

However, before she could light the lights in the room, Lou Yue had already rushed forward, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her fiercely...... The snort was full of the familiar cold smell of his body, and the domineering and hot kiss was also familiar to her, and it was not until this moment that she believed that it was really him who came to find her.

Just when she was almost out of breath after being kissed, Lou Yue reluctantly let go of her and put the two jade plates that had been held in the palm of her hand together.

There was no light in the room, and a little silver-white moonlight leaked in through the hollow lattice of the window lattice, shining on the two jade plaques on the palms of Su Liuying's hands, glowing with a faint lustre.

"From tomorrow, Lou Jia Yingwei only recognizes cards and does not recognize people, so in the future, Lou Jia Yingwei will be handed over to you." Lou Yue's abrupt words shook Su Liuying's heart!

The prestige of Lou Jiayingwei is well-known in the entire Dayong, and it is a powerful secret guard carefully trained by Lou Yue, and has always obeyed Lou Yue's instructions.

Now that Lou Yue suddenly put this team in his hands, Su Liuying suddenly thought of something in his heart.

Without thinking about it, she returned the jade card back to Lou Yue's hand with her backhand, and said in a trembling voice

"I don't know what you're going to do tomorrow, but this jade plaque is not only what Aunt Rui left for you, but it's also the only evidence that you recognize your biological father, how can you give them to me?!" Su Liuying thought that Lou Yue now has no mother, but the so-called father and aunt of the Lou family are bent on his life, and he is like himself in this world, falling into a lonely and helpless situation, and the king of Beixian is his only relative, and he is his future support.

If King Beixian acknowledges his identity, he will become the real prince of Hu Diguo, not only is he not afraid of the persecution of the Lou family, but he also does not have to worry about being implicated after the fall of the Lou family.

Therefore, from the heart, Su Liuying hoped that Lou Yue would recognize the king of Beixian with these two jade plates...... Lou Yue didn't understand what Su Liuying was thinking, but from the moment he knew his true identity, Lou Yue never thought of recognizing the king of Beixian, let alone admitting that he was the prince of Beixian.

Because, if his true identity is exposed, it is equivalent to telling the world that his mother was unchaste during his lifetime, and he was born because of fornication with others...... Lou Yue never believed that his mother was a person who did not abide by women's morals, but he had no way of knowing what happened back then, so only by keeping his identity undisclosed could he keep his mother's reputation after her death...... He couldn't hide his grief in his voice

"Liuying, so far, I only think of myself as a person who only has a mother but no father...... And this jade plate was left by my mother to my future daughter-in-law, so they can only belong to you! In the dark room, although he couldn't see the expression on Lou Yue's face at the moment, Su Liuying could feel the pain and helplessness in his heart, and he could understand the worries of Princess An in his heart, and couldn't help but cherish him more and more.

Clenching his slightly cold hand, Su Liuying said worriedly

"Tomorrow is the queen's birthday banquet, do you have any plans?" Lou Yue didn't want her to worry, but he didn't want to hide it from her anymore, so he just said in a deep voice

"You don't have to worry, everything has been arranged, and I have quietly brought all the witnesses and evidence into the capital, just waiting for tomorrow to be presented to the emperor in front of the world." With that, he said firmly

"Liuying, I promised you something, I will definitely do it, you have to believe me!" In the dark, his eyes flashed with a strange light, which made Su Liuying's heart also excited, and what he said made her heart tremble.

After thinking about it, Su Liuying suddenly groped for two strings of Buddhist beads from her baggage, handed them to Lou Yue's hand, and said firmly

"Although I don't know what your plan is, these two strings of Buddhist beads are evidence that Queen Lou plotted to kill my aunt and that she instructed Qinghui to harm Concubine Ning's miscarriage, you take them together, I hope it will help you understand." Seeing Su Liuying take out Concubine Qiong's Buddha beads, Lou Yue felt a sigh in her heart and said in a solemn tone

"Lou Yu's crime has been laid down before the Holy One. Although the saint has not executed him for a while, he has privately asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to secretly investigate all his crimes, so he is not far away! ”

"And the entire Lou family, Queen Lou is the core, and to deal with her, you can only start with the matter of the harem. And among the evil things she did, she also included the thing that framed your aunt back then...... But if you take on Concubine Qiong, you must be involved in your father, so about Concubine Qiong, I will only mention the incident nineteen years ago, and I won't mention it later! "Among the many evil things that Queen Lou has done, the most painful thing for Emperor Huicheng is that Queen Lou framed Concubine Qiong back then, and even poisoned Concubine Qiong later...... Even so, Lou Yue also knew that if he mentioned Concubine Qiong in front of everyone tomorrow, he would definitely involve Concubine Qiong's later marriage to Su Jin.

Therefore, in order to take into account Concubine Qiong's name and Su Liuying's feelings, Lou Yue didn't want to make this matter public again.

His thoughts Su Liuying would not understand, and Su Liuying also understood the emotions that Emperor Huicheng had been unable to let go of A-Niang - not only because four years ago, even if he knew that A-Niang had married another woman and had children, Emperor Huicheng was reluctant to take her life, but spent all his efforts to raise her outside the palace, which is enough to see the weight of A-Niang in his heart...... And later, every time he met Emperor Huicheng, he looked at him with some kind of unspeakable emotion in his eyes, and Su Liuying knew that he remembered A-Niang when he saw him...... Since he never forgets A-Niang, then only by presenting all the things that A-Niang was framed by Empress Lou in front of Emperor Huicheng in a bloody way, can he completely hate Empress Lou in his heart, so that he can make up his mind to execute Empress Lou!

Therefore, knowing that A-Niang's matter is to beat Queen Lou to the bottom, why didn't she take advantage of this to avenge A-Niang's grievances?

What's more, in Su Liuying's heart, there is one thing that has always been in her mind, if the truth is revealed tomorrow, she wants to fulfill her wish in the past four years...... In this way, she said to Lou Yue decisively

"My mother's matter is not a secret, even Li Zhi and Lin Mu know about it. I think, but all the old ministers in the court and the old people in the palace, who saw my A-Niang back then, I am afraid that they all understand in their hearts that my A-Niang is Concubine Qiong nineteen years ago...... "Mama Lan can recognize her as A-Niang's daughter at a glance after seeing her appearance, will others not recognize her?"

When she was in the palace before, because of Emperor Huicheng's favor for her, there were rumors in the palace in private.

"So, instead of letting everyone guess randomly, it's better to make everything public, return A-Niang's innocence, and bring the evil person to justice!"

"Tomorrow, you can do it without worry. Now, I don't care about anything else but the truth. ”

"And this jade plate, if you really want to give it to me, wait until you win this vicious battle and then hand it over to me personally." Su Liuying knew how terrible Queen Lou was, and from the moment Lou Yue wanted to give her the shadow guard, she understood the desperate plan in his heart to burn the jade.

How could she be willing to let him die?! She stepped forward and hugged him tightly, and said in a trembling voice

"No matter what, I want you to live well...... I only have you, even if I don't take revenge, I only wish you well—you promise me that you must be good, definitely! Lou Yue's heart was miserable, and more was deeply helpless and reluctant.

He hugged her back, choking in his throat

"Okay, I promise you. I promise you that you will live well, and when everything is over, I will leave here with you and fly away! "Queen Lou's Qianqiu banquet is set up in the front hall of Yongkun Palace.

At this time, it is the golden autumn of September, and there is the fragrance of golden osmanthus everywhere, and the Yongkun of Queen Lou is permeated with a rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, lining the joyful atmosphere of the whole palace, and it is more and more festive and lively.

In order for Lou Yue to celebrate her birthday and bring the troupe into the palace, Queen Lou specially instructed people to build a tall stage in the front yard, and then removed the door of the main hall, which not only let the fragrance of osmanthus flowers waft into the main hall, but also made it more convenient for the guests to watch the big drama during the banquet.

Shen Shiwei, the gate of the palace was already full of traffic. When Su Liuying and Changfeng helped Han Yu get out of the car, they happened to meet Xiao Mo, followed by Shura.

Seeing Xiao Mo, Han Yu smiled indifferently, looked at the brand-new four wheelchairs sitting under him, and smiled

"Thank you, Prince Xiao, for the chair you put underneath." Xiao Mo's eyes swept lightly over Su Liuying, who was standing behind him, and said

"The eldest prince is polite, just a four-wheelchair is not enough." With that, he took a step towards the palace.

Su Liuying also pushed Han Yu to follow, and Changfeng stayed at the gate of the palace to wait for them. When they arrived, the guests had almost arrived.

As soon as she entered the table, Su Liuying saw Lou Yue sitting at the top. And beside him, the beautiful woman who followed was the red sleeve of his new concubine who had been in the mansion for less than a month.

Although Lou Yue didn't say what role the red sleeves would play in dealing with Queen Lou tonight, looking at her similar face to Ah Niang, Su Liuying already understood a little in her heart, thinking about what was going to happen soon, she was worried in her heart.

Lou Yue looked at her, her indifferent face softened a little, and she nodded to her almost inaudibly, telling her not to worry.

Su Liuying was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and the sweat soaked onto the blood blisters that had not yet healed, and she frowned slightly in pain, but she still smiled calmly at Lou Yue, and asked him not to worry about himself.

The interaction between the two fell into the eyes of Li Xiu, who was sitting at the head of Lou Yue, and seeing that Su Liuying's gaze had been glued to Lou Yue, he felt a chill in his heart, and his face was also cold, and his eyes were deep.

Rong Qing came in from outside the hall, and when he passed by Su Liuying's side with a big belly, he saw that her eyes were involuntarily staring at Lou Yue and Red Sleeves at the top, and he smiled proudly in his heart, and stepped forward to come to her, smiling without smiling

"Are you looking at my cousin and his new favorite concubine Red Sleeves? Hehe, don't say it, there are really people in the world who look so like you, don't say that my cousin can't tell the difference, even I, a friend who has been with you for many years, will recognize her as you. Su Liuying didn't want to have more trouble with her on such an occasion, let alone get into trouble with Han Yu because of the dispute with her, so she lowered her head and let Princess Rongqing talk to herself there.

Rong Qing glanced at the subordinate clothes on her body and smiled again

"It's a pity that the same person doesn't have the same life, but her life is much better than yours. Look at you, going around and around, you are either being the most inferior palace maid in Yongxiang, or you are being a maid for others, and you can't do without being a subordinate. And she, a prostitute from the Qinglou Chu Pavilion can be the side concubine of the palace, but you can't marry Ruyi Langjun as you wish, so this fate is unfair after all! Rong Qing said so much, it was nothing more than seeing Lou Yue come to the banquet today with red sleeves similar to Su Liuying's, and couldn't help but believe the rumors outside, thinking that Lou Yue was really righteous with Su Liuying, and he was happy in his heart, so he ridiculed her fiercely.

It's a pity that Su Liuying didn't feel sad at all, she poured a cup of tea from the table and handed it to Rongqing, looking at Princess Rongqing with a smug face with cold eyes, and said with a smile

"The princess has said so much, is she thirsty? Would you like a cup of tea to moisten your throat? "She secretly thought in her heart, you are doing me like this at this time, if you will see your umbrella and your good mother fall later, can you still be as arrogant as you are now?

How can Rongqing drink Su Liuying's tea? Her eyes swept Su Liuying's scarred hands with contempt, and said in disgust

"Sure enough, the servility does not change, I am used to being a slave and maid, and I never forget to flatter others." When she taunted and bullied Su Liuying, she kept her back to everyone.

Except for Su Liuying, no one saw the false and vicious terrible face on her face. When she turned around, her face had returned to the image of a dignified and gentle princess, her eyes were soft, and her mouth had a friendly and gentle smile, which was similar to the person who was full of vicious words just now.

At this time, Su Liuying didn't have the slightest heart to care about Rongqing's viciousness, because she saw tonight's protagonist - Queen Lou!

The door of the hall opened, and the emperor and queen walked in slowly from outside the main hall. Today's Queen Lou is wearing a bright yellow Fengzhai mopping long skirt, with a delicate and complicated peony bun on her head, wearing a phoenix flying nine days red gold phoenix crown in the center, and other luxurious and dazzling pearl and jade decorations, today's Queen Lou is very different from the past.

Also, today is her birthday, and it is also the time for her to show the undefeated momentum of the Lou family. So no matter what, she won't be looked down on today.

Su Liuying's eyes looked at her coldly, and as she walked step by step to the first place in the center, Su Liuying became more and more nervous, and her body couldn't help trembling slightly.

She couldn't help but look up at Lou Yue diagonally opposite, but saw him welcoming the emperor and queen into the palace with a sinking face, and the red sleeves beside him left the hall at some point, and he didn't know where to go...... The emperor and queen took their seats in the first place, the prince and the princess of the first hall, and the ministers and guests all knelt down to greet the emperor and queen, and waited for Emperor Huicheng to wave everyone to flatten, and the banquet officially began.

The queen's feast, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea are indispensable, the wine and delicacies flow to the banquet, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music is endless, but it is a prosperous and peaceful beautiful appearance.

After three rounds of wine, Prince Yin Xian took the lead in toasting the emperor and queen, and carried a congratulatory gift to congratulate Queen Lou on her birthday.

Next, Princess Rongqing and the concubine Li Xiu stepped forward to pay their respects, and then the other princes and princesses stepped forward one after another.

Everyone offered all kinds of congratulatory gifts and said all kinds of auspicious words. When it was Lou Yue's turn, he stepped forward with a wine glass, and his empty hands did not bring any congratulatory gifts.

In previous years, Queen Lou's birthday and Lou Yue's congratulatory gifts were the most ingenious and could please Queen Lou, so this year, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw him go up empty-handed.

But Su Liuying was completely flustered and nervous, and when she helped Han Yu pour wine, her hands trembled. She has always been steady, and Han Yu rarely saw her gaffe, so when she saw her obviously pale face at this time, her heart couldn't help but tighten, and she unconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Lou Yue in the middle.

Lou Yue stood in the center of the hall in a dark brocade dress and said loudly

"Due to the rush of time, the little nephew didn't have time to buy a birthday gift for his aunt, so he had to invite the most famous opera troupe in the capital to perform a play for his aunt, and asked my aunt not to blame." Queen Lou looked loving and said with pity

"Your triumphant return from fighting Beixian this time and quelling the rebellion in Northern Xinjiang is the best congratulatory gift for my aunt, and my aunt is too late to be happy, so I am willing to blame you. I just hope that you can win more battles for Dayong in the future, protect the territory of Dayong Quartet, and share your Majesty's worries! Queen Lou had something to say, but she deliberately reminded Lou Yue of his military exploits in the battle against Beixian in front of Emperor Huicheng, hoping that Emperor Huicheng would spare Lou Yu for Lou Yue's sake.

However, Emperor Huicheng learned about the impeachment of Lou Yu from Su Liuying, and after Lou Yue did it, he had been half-convinced, although he did not agree to the grace that Su Liuying asked, but he was not in a hurry to summon Lou Yue to get back the tiger talisman in his hand, but he wanted to see whether he was committed to justice or to maintain the Lou family on the birthday of Queen Lou today.

Seeing this, Emperor Huicheng said indifferently

"Since it's a troupe you invited, it's also unique when you want to come. In this way, start singing gongs and operas, and add more excitement to your aunt's birthday! With Emperor Huicheng's personal promise, the lights on the stage were instantly lit up, the curtain opened, and the drums sounded.

The guests present, including Emperor Huicheng and Empress Lou, all raised their eyes to look at the dazzling stage.

But Su Liuying was so nervous that her breathing was stagnant. From Lou Yue's entry into the palace with red sleeves to his birthday performance, Su Liuying had already expected Lou Yue's deployment plan tonight.

Therefore, when she watched the red sleeves wearing a silver-white palace makeup, dressed as the exact same description of Lianbu in A-Niang's portrait, and walked to the middle of the stage, although she had expected it in her heart, she was so nervous that the blood in her whole body coagulated...... Cat flutter Chinese
