Chapter 150: The Emperor's Birthday Banquet (1)

Yi Xue said respectfully: "Miss, don't worry, everything that should be arranged has been arranged." The dance on Yiyue's side is also ready, so there shouldn't be anything wrong. ”

Lan Ling'er nodded, and said as she walked inside: "Let Yiyue be careful, after all, it is performing in front of the royal family, once there is a mistake, it will be difficult to do." ”

"Yes!"

At night, Mu Xinghan did not appear in Lingyue Pavilion as Lan Ling'er imagined, but sent Wufeng to come, looking at the note in his hand and a crystal clear bottle, the milky white pill in it was obviously used to moisten his throat.

The so-called change of voice is actually just to make the original voice a little more hoarse, if it is a woman's voice, it will become like an ordinary man, or even a little dumber. Just because, the crisper the original voice, how dull the changed voice will be.

In comparison, Lan Ling'er's voice was much crisper, so it sounded like the hoarseness of the original boy after being infected with the wind cold.

Looking at the small bottle in her hand, Lan Ling'er felt a burst of disappointment in her heart for no reason, and waved her hand and said, "I know, you go back first." ”

The windless disappeared in an instant. Walking to the window and opening the window, Lan Ling'er murmured: "When the pear blossoms bloom, whether it is or not, there will be no more concealment." ”

She was as careful as a hair, how could she not know Mu Xinghan's concealment, but she was unwilling to face it until the old man in the prince's mansion. Although she didn't know if the final result was as she had guessed, she was willing to believe that he had a good reason.

Early in the morning, Lan Ling'er took the lead in getting up in the east sunshine.

Put on the clothes she got in the 'Ni Shang Feather Coat', and bring the set of jewelry that Mu Xinghan gave her later.

Seeing Lan Ling'er dressed up like this, Yi Xue automatically painted her with makeup similar to yesterday. It's just that these eyebrows and eyes, no matter how they are drawn, don't seem to be as bright as the original. The bun is much better than before.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Lan Ling'er stroked her face with inexplicable emotions in her eyes.

"Miss went out like this, I don't know how many people were amazed!"

It wasn't until Yishuang's sighing voice sounded that Lan Ling'er came back to her senses and got up to leave.

Touching Yi Xue on the side with his elbow, Yi Shuang whispered: "Have you noticed that Miss is a little abnormal today?" ”

saw that Yi Xue just glared at her, so she started to follow, and Yi Shuang shook her head boringly and quickly followed.

Because it was the emperor's birthday banquet, almost everyone was there today. It is also the only all-day event for the royal family.

In the morning, I listened to the play, in the afternoon I visited the garden, and in the evening I had a formal banquet. It's just that at this time of year, the emperor often just makes a quick appearance. Everyone worked hard to perform in front of him, but in the end, they never got any attention from him.

Xu is too boring for a banquet like this. It's like this every year, and the emperor must have lost his freshness.

Time is in a hurry, and the most special activities in the morning and afternoon are the scenes in the morning. Lan Ling'er saw with her own eyes that the emperor's face was pale, but Concubine Rou was smiling, as if she didn't realize it. Then when I think of the content of the opera, it is inevitable that people will think about it.

I heard that Concubine Rou specially arranged a scene for the emperor, so the emperor accompanied everyone to watch the whole process. It's just that the first half was okay, but the second half was really shocking.

The opera tells the story of a general who kills the children of his favorite concubine for his own future. In the first half, the blood was boiling with loyalty to the country, and the two were deeply in love. It's just that suddenly, the form changed, and the general suspected that his concubine was in love with another man.

For revenge, and at the same time for his own future, he sacrificed his children. This arrangement is really ingenious, but this general is too unkind.

Some people know it, some people are trembling, and some people don't know what to say, just think it's a story that doesn't quite fit the situation.

Lan Ling'er always had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and Concubine Rou on the stage was still wearing a purple palace dress, with a soft smile on her face. It seems that this kind of drama is really just a watch, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all, and even occasionally adds wine and food to the emperor.

Goodbye to the emperor, although his face remained calm, it was more shocked and angry. It's just that when he saw the people on the side, there was no abnormality, and he didn't have a seizure.

In this way, a scene was spent in confusion or shock. Whether it was a play or a special arrangement by Concubine Rou, only she knew what she thought would do.

When night fell, everyone came to the designated place, but Lan Ling'er was too noisy because of the banquet venue. Those flattering words, saying too much, made me annoyed, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it. So he came alone to the side hall.

The sky had not yet completely darkened, and Lan Ling'er also met some patrolling guards on the way, and they naturally knew Lan Ling'er.

This year's birthday banquet was held at the Observation Garden, which was the same as the last year's cherry blossom viewing event. Most of the palace banquets of the Amaterasu Imperial Family are here. Therefore, whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, this place is full of flowers, no matter how rare the flower, as long as it is ordered by the emperor, there are people who can cultivate it.

For example, the weeping begonia in this early winter. Originally, it was bloomed in spring, but I don't know what method was used, so I just let it bloom in the cold wind. The red of the demon is a little more vivid than the peach blossoms. At night, the wind blows lightly, and the flower branches tremble slightly, as if they can't stand the baptism of the cold wind, and they are infinitely shy, but they don't know whether they are afraid or ashamed.

Knowing that it would take a while for the palace banquet to start, Lan Ling'er stopped in the wind, stood in this lace, and looked at the sky in the distance, from dark blue, gradually turning to dark blue, and then, black ash.

"What are you doing standing here? Isn't it cold? ”

The voice from behind her made Lan Ling'er slightly stunned, and she didn't turn around, and said with a smile: "It's cold, naturally I will go back." ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and he wondered: "Why didn't Sister Lan go to the garden and come to this side hall?" "There are also some side halls around the observation garden. Occasionally, it was used as a residence for those who stayed in the palace for a short time. But it was hardly used. Gradually, it became an ornament.

"The palace banquet has not started yet, and I am not in a hurry for a while. What's more, the lights over there are too bright, illuminating and beautifying everything, but instead hiding the starlight and moonlight. ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Dongfang Qi's eyes, Lan Ling'er had never had such a sad side. Maybe it was just his illusion, because in the next moment, when Lan Ling'er turned her head and faced him, she returned to her original brightness and confidence.

Dongfang Qi's doubts turned to amazement, and for a while, he couldn't find words to describe it. This kind of makeup is the most suitable for her, blue as the sky, like the color of the sea, with pure white piping, and a pure white cloak draped at this time, making the already bright clothes looming. It's just that this dress doesn't seem to be willing to be covered, and even if it is covered, it has to bloom its beauty.

The hair accessories on the head, including the earrings, everything is commensurate with the clothes, and they are perfectly combined and echoed. Also, the crescent moon on the forehead vividly expresses Lan Ling'er's cold temperament, and the icy blue color adds indifference and fragrance to this coldness.

During the day, I had seen Lan Ling'er's difference today from afar. It's just that I don't know that she is so overwhelmed by the faint light of the side hall. Xu is, only such a dark night, such a faintness, can bring out her beauty and uniqueness more and more.

Lan Ling'er naturally saw the emotion in Dongfang Qi's eyes, and simply appreciated it, looking at it like this, it didn't make her feel the slightest unpleasant, and maybe she didn't have any extra thoughts to share it with him.

"Why didn't the third prince go to the garden again, but came here?" Lan Ling'er said softly.

Dongfang Qi was slightly stunned for a moment, turned his gaze to the weeping begonia on the side, and the corners of his mouth hung on his usual smile, perhaps because of the faint light, and the smile at this time seemed to have a trace of sincerity.

"Let's see how the begonia flowers bloom here."

Dongfang Qi's answer made Lan Ling'er's heart move, and she also looked at the weeping silk begonia on the side, and said with a smile: "This should be the original Begonia Palace, right?" ”

Dongfang Qi nodded, "There are begonia flowers everywhere here, and they bloom like a dream all year round." It's just that some people don't know that such dreams have always been there, and they think they are broken into powder. ”

Lan Ling'er was slightly startled, turned her head sideways, and saw that Dongfang Qi's face was bright and dark, as if with a malicious smile, she knew that this was not for her, maybe it was just for the person behind this Begonia Palace.

At this moment, Dongfang Qi also turned his head and said, "Do you want to know the story here?" ”

Lan Ling'er was slightly stunned, but she shook her head, although she was curious, she didn't want to be involved. Many years have passed since the matter of the former emperor, and she does not need to know.

It's just that Dongfang Qi smiled calmly, and the smile on his face spread, as if there was also a hint of weirdness, "What if you tell you that this is about my father?" ”

Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and she remembered that although the flower appreciation meeting was held when the emperor was alive, she was not cautious.

Since the old emperor ascended the throne, he has been more and more concerned, and gradually, it has become an annual event.

Seeing that Lan Ling'er seemed to be interested, a smile flashed in Dongfang Qibu's eyes, but he said loudly: "Why do you always care so much about my father's affairs, or are you very concerned about the affairs of the royal family?" ”

Hearing this, Lan Ling'er chuckled and said: "I live in the emperor's era, so I naturally want to be interested in the emperor's affairs, although the emperor is heroic and wise, but after all, he is not a contemporary person, and he has to live in the present, right?" ”

Well, Dongfang Qi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lan Ling'er deeply, but saw that her face was not red and her heart was not beating, and said: "'Begonia Palace' is actually specially built for a woman named Tangtang. But I don't know who that woman really is and where she is now. ”

"Tang Tang? The woman your father loved? Lan Ling'er wondered.

Nodding, Dongfang Qi said: "I also discovered this place by accident, that night, my father was alone in this place, and the person he said was this woman named 'Tang Tang'. I don't know her full name, but I guess it's the woman in the palace. ”

"Why?"
