Chapter 13: The Sun Is Blazing

"The eldest princess has arrived, Princess Qin has arrived, and the county lord of Qiluo has arrived!" Accompanied by the eunuch's shrill voice, Lan Ling'er saw the eldest princess in a dark red palace dress slowly coming with Dongfang Qin and Yan Qin.

The crowd stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to them.

The eldest princess is the emperor's own sister, and the old emperor was able to ascend the throne thanks to his sister who mediated in secret.

But the eldest princess died ten years ago, leaving only a wife and daughter, although the emperor intended to let her remarry, but she refused, and raised Yanqin alone, and she was really a special woman.

At this time, she is like a young woman in her thirties, and her face can be vaguely seen in the face of the flowers and moons of the year, and Qin naturally inherited the appearance of the eldest princess, but she did not inherit her shrewdness and wisdom.

Walking to her left was naturally Yan Qin, who had already seen her last time, and at this time she had a haughty smile on her face, as if she had trampled the whole world under her feet, and the rampant nature of the little girl often attracted deeper disgust. And Dongfang Qin, who walked side by side with her, was obviously much more humble, with a shallow smile on his face, polite and detached.

As the eldest princess stepped forward, everyone saluted, and the voice that resounded in the sky carried the unique sweetness of the girl.

I saw the eldest princess's beautiful eyes turn slightly, her eyes sparkled, her eyes stayed on Lan Ling'er for a moment, even Lan Ling'er felt the coldness in her eyes, and it was really the person who was crawling in the center of power, Lan Ling'er couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"You actually offended the eldest princess?"

In his ears was Dongfang Jiaoyang's whispered inquiry, with surprise and sympathy.

Lan Ling'er couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded slightly. Sort of, although she hasn't seen the eldest princess, Yan Qin definitely didn't say anything bad about her.

But when he saw the scorching sun in the east, he still wanted to say something, but the eldest princess's salty and indifferent voice sounded, "Scorching sun, didn't you say that you wouldn't come to the flower-viewing conference?" What's going on at the moment? Suddenly Dongfang Jiaoyang's body was shocked.

I saw her look at the eldest princess and bow slightly, and said: "Back to my aunt, the little pet raised by Jiaoyang is gone, I just came out to look for it, and I came here by accident, and Jiaoyang went back." As he spoke, he winked at Lan Ling'er and left.

"Wait a minute, since you're here, don't go back."

Dongfang Jiaoyang stopped, turned around with a reluctant smile, and said, "Auntie, don't need it, Jiaoyang will go back." As he spoke, he lifted his steps and was about to run out.

"Stop, the flower viewing meeting is not a place for you to scatter wild." Obviously, the eldest princess, the disobedient princess, was already furious.

Lan Ling'er frowned slightly, because she saw a trace of disgust and hatred in the eyes of the eldest princess, like a resentment that had accumulated over a long time.

And Dongfang Jiaoyang also had to stop his steps, retreated to Lan Ling'er's side, and said embarrassedly: "It seems that I am destined to accompany you today." ”

Lan Ling'er laughed silently, she didn't know why Dongfang Jiaoyang hated the flower viewing conference so much, it must be that there were some embarrassing memories here.

Seeing that Dongfang Jiaoyang was finally standing quietly to the side, the eldest princess turned her gaze away, and her cold face instantly retracted, turning into a gentle smile, which was a hundred times faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Spring is a season of a hundred flowers, the reason why the emperor set up the flower viewing meeting is to let everyone see the scene of a hundred flowers competing for beauty, but also hope to find out the woman who has both ability and integrity in Amaterasu, will award her the begonia card, now, the flower viewing meeting begins."

"Xie eldest princess Longen, eldest princess Chitose."

"Get up!" The eldest princess on the top of the throne smiled with her eyebrows.

Everyone also took their seats, and at this time, the gongs and drums sounded, and the sons came slowly under the leadership of Dongfang Yu, all of them with outstanding demeanor, which suddenly made the women present blush.

"Knock on the eldest princess Chitose."

"Flat, take your seats."

Everyone was seated in advance, and because of the addition of the Oriental Sun, they had to make adjustments on the original basis. But only one seat was added at the very end, and Dongfang Jiaoyang wanted to sit with Lan Ling'er, so the two of them sat directly in the last two positions.

At this time, the male guests are also seated and are sitting opposite the female guests, this is the new rule changed by the eldest princess this year, usually the women's seats are blocked with veils, but this year all the veils are withdrawn. Suddenly, many women who were not comfortable were flushed.

In Amaterasu, the folk customs are relatively open, and it is not a big deal for a woman to go out, but as a noble lady, she is often more traditional and reserved.

The Oriental Sun kept his head down throughout the whole process, completely missing the transparency and brightness of the sun when he first saw it.

Lan Ling'er was puzzled, but she didn't ask.

The sound of silk and bamboo rises, gently and shallowly, circuitous, like a spring breeze with gentleness and refreshment.

After a while, everyone gradually relaxed from the restraint at the beginning, and gradually relaxed in such a romantic atmosphere, Lan Ling'er smiled at everything in front of her, and her little hands tightly held the slightly trembling hands of Dongfang Jiaoyang under the table.

She had just learned from Yinghong's mouth that it turned out that the Oriental Sun was at the flower viewing meeting the year before last, because of a maid's insult to Xin Guiren, which made her angry, and her sword rose and fell, and the soft red of the ten zhang brightly colored the flower-viewing venue. Although the emperor did not have any punishment after learning the truth in the end, Lan Ling'er knew that maybe Dongfang Jiaoyang would never forget that experience in his life.

It is always good for a royal child to execute a person, but it is another thing to actually see yourself end a life with bright red eyes.

She must have been frightened by that.

"The emperor has arrived, Mu Shizi has arrived!" With the shrill voice of the father-in-law.

Everyone also turned their eyes to the door, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped, the dance stopped, and the audience was only quiet, and in such silence, there was the majesty of the emperor.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The sound of uniformity seemed to cut a hole in the entire sky.

"Flat!" The Emperor's calm, not magnetic, voice rang out. Only then did everyone get up in unison.

The old emperor bowed his hand slightly to the eldest princess, "Imperial sister! ”

The smile on the eldest princess's face was bright, "Why did the emperor come over so early?" As he spoke, he gave up the throne to the emperor and took the position that had been prepared next to him.

"I'm fine, so I'll come and enjoy today's performance." The emperor smiled, under the gentle appearance is a sharp light, in fact, among his three princes, Dongfang Yi is the most like him, both in appearance and temperament.

Looking at the people present, the emperor smiled with satisfaction: "Everyone doesn't have to be restrained, just treat me as if I don't exist." ”

Lan Ling'er couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. In other words, can a good living person be regarded as non-existent?

"Huh? Sunny, why are you here too? Obviously I didn't expect that the Eastern Sun would also attend this flower-viewing meeting, the old emperor asked.

It's just that before Dongfang Jiaoyang could answer, the eldest princess had already taken the lead in speaking, "She just came by herself, I think, since everyone has already come, let's go after participating, it's time to find her a husband." ”

Lan Ling'er felt a shock from Dongfang Jiaoyang's body, and looked at the old emperor with wide eyes, "Father, I don't want it, you said you wouldn't force me." ”

"Okay, Jiaoyang, how can you talk to your father like this?" The eldest princess on the side couldn't look past it and scolded.

was glared at by Dongfang Jiaoyang, "You are not my mother, why do you care about me?" Suddenly, Lan Ling'er's heart was shocked, this oriental sun is really bold!

The eldest princess has a respected status, how could someone have spoken to her like this, her face was suddenly flushed, and she was about to have a seizure, but she saw that the emperor's face was slightly gloomy, "Enough, your aunt is also for your good, how can you be so disrespectful, although I promise not to force you, you yourself have to pay attention to it." ”

Only then did the scorching sun in the east hang its head. As if she was accustomed to the scorching sun in the east, everyone was not too surprised, and Lan Ling'er was relieved when she saw a trace of pampering in the emperor's eyes. It seems that this old emperor still cares a little about this princess.

Glancing at the audience, the old emperor frowned slightly, and said, "Xinghan, why don't you sit with me, there seems to be no place below." ”

Suddenly, everyone present gasped, and many people had already noticed the man in white behind the emperor, and they had long heard that the old emperor loved the prince of Mu Wangfu, but they didn't expect it to reach this level.

Lan Ling'er couldn't help but turn her gaze to the three princes on the side, Dongfang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal, while Dongfang Yi was not moved in the whole process, Dongfang Qi was slightly stunned, took a deep look at Mu Xinghan, and then played with the wine glass in his hand.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Xinghan at this time, but seeing that his expression was faint, he arched lightly at the emperor, and said, "Just add a table behind the seat, Xinghan doesn't dare to overpass." ”

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the emperor again.

I saw the emperor laughing silently at this time, and he couldn't see any emotion on his face, and said, "Since Xinghan asked, I will depend on you." ”

Suddenly, a palace person added a table to the last seat of the seat, Mu Xinghan saw this, and hooked his lips slightly, "Xinghan, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Mu Xinghan slowly left the main seat, his weak body did not affect the beauty he brought to people, the crescent white brocade robe trembled gently in the air as he walked, and in an instant, he became the focus of the audience.

Not only because of the emperor's connivance with him, but also because of his faint moonlight temperament.

Mu Xinghan has only recently left the palace, and most of the people here have never seen him.

Many women have long forgotten their reserve, and their beautiful eyes stared at Mu Xinghan's figure for a moment, just the people who walked slowly in the field, but they did not hesitate at all because of such a gaze, as if they were fairies about to be feathered, and they had no trace of attachment to the world.

But it is precisely this indifference that adds a touch of nobility and elegance to him, and makes people naturally feel a sense of admiration in their hearts.
