Chapter 153: The Emperor's Birthday Banquet (4)
Coming to the bronze mirror in the side hall, Concubine Rou looked at the face in the mirror with a smile on her face. Enchanting and abnormal, her appearance has hardly changed over the years.
Only she knew what was in her body. She didn't know about those pills, but what could she do if she knew? She needs to rely on her beauty to keep the emperor.
After these days, she doesn't have to do it anymore. Gently stroking her face, Concubine Rou's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and she murmured, "Originally, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today." If my Yan'er were still alive, I wouldn't be in the harem. ”
"Hehe, you know what? What I'm waiting for is this day, that's right, I'm a woman in the rivers and lakes, it's you, let me go from naivety to calculation step by step. In that case, let's pay for it. As she spoke, she saw Concubine Rou close her eyes, her slender curly eyelashes casting a thick shadow against the light.
Suddenly, his eyes opened, and his eyes swept over the screen on the side. Then he turned into doubts and hurriedly walked over, and the jewelry on his body collided with an unusually crisp sound.
It's just that there was no one behind the screen, and Concubine Rou couldn't help but be slightly stunned, with a hint of caution on her face. Hurriedly returned to the bronze mirror, changed his makeup slightly, and left.
At this time, Lan Ling'er and Dongfang Qi, who were hiding on the beams of the house, spun down. Dongfang Qi let go of Lan Ling'er's hand, a sneer pulled into the corner of his mouth, and said, "Sister Lan, don't underestimate my mother's concubine too much." Today, if you are found by her here alone, the odds may not be great. ”
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er was shocked and looked at the already empty palace. Naturally, Dongfang Qi didn't know that her martial arts were no longer what they used to be, and at this time, she was more than four times as much as when she fought against Dongfang Yi. After all, the four exercises together are not something that can be stopped by one exercise.
Of course, she doesn't have the heart to think about it now.
Ignoring the mockery in Dongfang Qi's tone, Lan Ling'er asked, "Who is Concubine Rou?" ”
Dongfang Qi looked at Lan Ling'er deeply, sighed lightly, and said, "You really don't want to leave?" Do you know what's next? Maybe a lot of things aren't as simple as you think. ”
Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why do you care so much about whether I leave or not?" Does my absence affect you? Just now, Lan Ling'er didn't hear the conversation between Dongfang Qi and Concubine Rou. It's just that after leaving from the Begonia Palace, I happened to meet Dongfang Qi coming out of this hall, so I wanted to come in and find out.
I don't want to see Concubine Rou like this. And obviously Dongfang Qi is commonplace.
Turning his head to the side, Dongfang Qi said: "She is also like you, approaching with inexplicable hatred, but in the end, she hitched into herself." If I could, I would be happy to give my life, as long as she could live a safe and happy life. ”
Lan Ling'er frowned slightly, she didn't know who she was in Dongfang Qi's mouth. Over the years, although Dongfang Qi has been the prince and has been deeply favored by the emperor. But his low-key and habitual temperament makes Dongfang Qi have few rumors among the people. Not even at all.
Therefore, the movements of the Third Prince's Mansion are not as concerned as the Second Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion.
Lan Ling'er moved her lips, wanting to ask the question in her heart, but she finally stopped, and said with a smile: "We should go back." Otherwise, there will be all kinds of tosses that are indispensable over there. ”
Hearing this, Dongfang Qi moved slightly, looked at Lan Ling'er's sincere smiling face, and couldn't help but be infected, chuckling and walking forward. Lan Ling'er naturally followed.
The silver-gray brocade robe became brighter and brighter in the moonlight, Dongfang Qi walked ahead unhurriedly, and when he was about to arrive at the viewing garden, Dongfang Qi suddenly paused and said, "You go first, I'll appear again later." ”
Knowing what he meant, Lan Ling'er walked past him without any twist.
"You didn't leave because Mu Xinghan, but do you know if he is also for you?"
The body that was originally moving forward paused, Lan Ling'er turned his head sideways, and said, "Why do you say that?" ”
Dongfang Qi shook his head lightly and said, "I just think that he is bottomless." ”
"I know." As she spoke, Lan Ling'er stopped staying.
Looking at her ice-blue figure, a trace of admiration flashed in Dongfang Qi's eyes. If he could have been as decisive as Lan Ling'er at this time, maybe he would not have been trapped in this cage like he is now.
When I came to the palace banquet venue, the lights were bright, and when I looked up at the sky, I didn't see the slightest star, leaving a lonely moon.
Dongfang Jiaoyang greeted him and said, "Why don't you see Mu Meiren?" ”
Lan Ling'er chuckled and shook her head, "I don't know. ”
"Yesterday I met his carriage on the street and thought it was someone else pretending to be him. But he didn't want to go to Mu Wangfu later, he was indeed not there, but the voice of the person in the carriage was slightly hoarse, could it be that he was infected with the wind cold? ”
"You can go and ask the emperor, I think he must have informed the emperor in advance." Lan Ling'er suggested. It is undeniable that she also wants to know why Mu Xinghan did not appear, originally thought that he was going to ask for marriage tonight, but she didn't want to be seen all the time.
Dongfang Jiaoyang couldn't help but make a bitter face, and said: "I know the answer without asking, every time he is absent from various places, isn't he sick?" But his illness was not cured by anyone in the hospital. ”
Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "Maybe it's really sick." But you, why are you so worried about him? ”
But he saw Dongfang Jiaoyang grinning and holding Lan Ling'er's arm, and said, "How can there be?" Aren't I worried about you, Sister Lan? I see both of you in love with concubines. ”
Lan Ling'er pinched her round face with her bare hands, and scolded with a smile: "What are you putting in your head all day?" ”
As he spoke, he saw Lan Ling'er looking around, and everyone was almost there, so he pulled Dongfang Jiaoyang into the seat, and said, "Let's not talk about Mu Xinghan first, let's quickly talk about what is going on between you and Luo Yan." "It's just, suddenly, Lan Ling'er paused, and murmured, "Luo Yan, Yan..."
Seeing Lan Ling'er like this, a trace of doubt flashed in Dongfang Jiaoyang's eyes, and said, "Sister Lan? What happened to you? ”
Lan Ling'er came back to her senses and said, "It's nothing. ”
The fox glanced at Lan Ling'er suspiciously, and Dongfang Jiaoyang said, "Then what are you muttering just now?" ”
"I'm asking you, what's going on with Luo Yan and you." Lan Ling'er said word by word, and it clearly fell into the ears of Dongfang Jiaoyang.
Hearing this, Dongfang Jiaoyang snorted coldly and said, "Me and him? I'm not doing anything with him, am I? Isn't that it? ”
Seeing the corners of Dongfang Jiaoyang's slightly curled mouth, Lan Ling'er couldn't help but laugh, and said, "You have followed him for so many years, can you give up so easily?" Or is there someone else you like? ”
Dongfang Jiaoyang immediately made a frightened expression and said with a smile: "Sister Lan, don't make fun of me, liking this one has already ruined half of my life, how dare I like other ones." ”
Lan Ling'er also knew that at this time, Dongfang Jiaoyang must not want to say anything. Maybe it's really as Luo Yan said, Dongfang Jiaoyang doesn't love him so much.
"Where's Mo Lin?"
"What!" , A hint of surprise flashed in Dongfang Jiaoyang's eyes, and said, "Sister Lan also knows that Mo Lin didn't leave?" ”
Lan Ling'er couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Can I not know that he is swaggering in and out of the 'Hundred Flowers Building' all day long?" ”
"What did Sister Lan suddenly mention him?" Dongfang Jiaoyang lowered his head slightly, and there was obviously a hint of emptiness in his tone.
Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she quipped: "Are you still pretending?" ”
Hearing this, Dongfang Jiaoyang simply raised his head and said with a smile: "How can I have it!" It's just that I really don't feel anything about him! ”
"But people have feelings for you!" Lan Ling'er couldn't help but laugh.
But when he saw Dongfang Jiaoyang's helpless stall hands, he said, "So what? Although I'm not good-looking, I don't have Sister Lan's flower and moon appearance, and I don't have my sister's virtuous and quiet name, but I'm also a princess. I can't be dumbfounded, people say they like me, so I'll run away with him. ”
Lan Ling'er frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "I didn't let you run away with him, I asked you to think about it, he is a good child." ”
Dongfang Jiaoyang snorted coldly, and drank the wine in front of him, Lan Ling'er couldn't stop it, so she could only snatch the empty cup in her hand and said, "What is this?" Am I wrong? ”
"No, Sister Lan is not wrong, but I am a bad boy. It's that I'm not worthy of him. ”
Lan Ling'er was slightly stunned, stretched out her hand to pat Dongfang Jiaoyang's round face, and said, "But drunk?" How did you start talking nonsense? ”
As she spoke, Lan Ling'er looked at Yi Xue on the side and said, "Pour a cup of hot tea for Princess Jiaoyang." ”
But he was blocked by Dongfang Jiaoyang, looking at Lan Ling'er in a daze, Dongfang Jiaoyang smiled: "It's funny." Sister Lan was just scared by me? ”
Looking at her obvious playful eyes, Lan Ling'er couldn't help but laugh angrily and said, "Don't coax me like this in the future." ”
"Sister Lan forgot, I have a good amount of alcohol. How could this little wine stump me? Dongfang Jiaoyang said proudly.
Lan Ling'er shook her head helplessly, and said, "I'm afraid that you will ruin your father's birthday banquet today, and then you will be charged with unworthy descendants, I see how you can afford it." ”
Dongfang Jiaoyang didn't care at all and said, "Sister Lan doesn't know? My father is the most fond of me. ”
Somehow, Lan Ling'er didn't see her pride in the eyes of the Eastern Sun at this time, but a trace of sadness, and she didn't know if it was her own delusion. It's just that Dongfang Jiaoyang turned his head to the side in the next moment, and Lan Ling'er didn't delve into it.
Just thinking about it, the children of this royal family may be a little special.
Just look at the Dongfang Qin sitting on the side. The original flower and moon appearance and outstanding temperament are outstanding, but at this time, they are sluggish.
"The emperor has arrived, Concubine Rou has arrived, Concubine Yun has arrived, the second prince has arrived, and the third prince has arrived." With the shrill voice of the eunuch, the emperor appeared in a bright yellow dragon robe.
In an instant, there was a cry, as if it was about to break through the sky, and play a chapter alone in such a night sky.
Lan Ling'er glanced at Concubine Rou, but when she saw the soft smile on her face at this time, and then thought of the scene in the side hall, she couldn't help but shrink in her heart.
