Written in the previous article:The word count of this chapter is a bit long.,More than 7000 words.,Because the story is coherent and 'sexual' is stronger.,Sending two chapters will only hurt everyone to invest more money, so I synthesized a chapter.,I know that the updates have been slow in recent months.,But I can guarantee that I have a good idea of the plot.,Half of the whole book is written.,So please give me a lot of advice later.。 Thousands of breaths, see above.

When it was time to hold the lights, it was finally all arranged. Murong Zhi ran up and down for a busy day, and when Qiyuan Hall began to set the table, she also relaxed and sat down. Yunshuang stood beside her as if she had never left her. In many cases, whitewashing is much better than the actual distinction.

"Niangniang, let's go back to the palace to make up." Since it is a state banquet, naturally every detail cannot be simply scribbled. Once the outside things are solved, it is natural to tinker with it. Lixia is covered with wind and dust, and her eyebrows and sideburns are also tired, and she doesn't look very comfortable.

Murong Zhi looked at Li Xia, a flash of brilliance flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, and got up with Yunshuang. As if she had just seen Yunshuang, Lixia bent her knees slightly, and her voice was gentle: "I've seen the Nine Princesses, the Nine Princesses Long An." The tone was faint, and I couldn't hear anything.

Murong Zhi didn't bother to care about the tone between the two of them now, she was a little tired now, and she was still hungry, so she didn't want to care about anything. The three of them left the Qiyuan Hall back and forth and returned to the Fenglan Palace. She wasn't worried about the situation in Yongyuan Hall and didn't want to ask, anyway, Qing Ruifan knew how to do it. She is only responsible for designing the decoration, not for receiving guests.

Lixia today is specially prepared a red 'color' phoenix to wear a peony auspicious suit, from beginning to end is a festive and peaceful red 'color', the body is embroidered with complex gold threads into a cloud map and the phoenix 'flower' between the playful patterns invisibly revealing extraordinary luxury. The bottom surface of the red 'color' is made of rare Qiao Jin, although it is said that there is no production, but Liulizhuang can still find some 'door' road. This set of auspicious clothes was made early in the morning by Liulizhuang. Although there is a royal service supervisor in the palace who is responsible for making all the concubines' clothes, Yunlan always likes to make things to send into the palace, and Murong Zhi has been used to it for so many years, so she went with her.

I don't plan to wear a crown on my head today, but I have a lot of things to use. A complete set of red gold and ruby heads, hairpins and hair combs filled the table in front of him. Murong Zhi came out of the bath, looking at the long hem of the clothes, the colorful tail feathers of the phoenix and the golden feathers 'feathers' spread all over the cloth, and the sapphire-inlaid eyes and the dazzling feathers on the top of the head knew at a glance that it was Yun Lan's proposal, Yun Lan always liked to make Murong Zhi look shiny, and he wanted to blind everyone's eyes. Murong Zhi was very helpless, but her heart was warm.

Seeing the pile of gold on the dresser, Murong Zhi felt the corners of her mouth tremble. It's all real gold, and if you put it all on your head, you'd be crushed to death, and your clothes are so heavy. "Lixia, just pick a few of these things for me, and put the rest away."

"When the master of Muyun Pavilion brought things in, he said that none of these can be left, and they all have to be dressed up." Lixia is also a rare dead eye, and she really bites it to death at this point. Murong Zhi rolled his eyes very unsvenly, and then asked, "Let me ask you, is the master of Muyun Pavilion here now?" ”

Looking at Li Xia and shaking her head, Murong Zhi continued to reply as if she had known for a long time: "Then it's over, why doesn't she care about all this here?" It's not like you don't like this. Her eyebrows were faint, and there was a hint of strangeness in her tone. Lixia has known her 'sex' for so long, how can she still think of letting her wear all these things?

"Because I think that every year is the New Year, and the master can also put down some things and become a little newer......" Lixia's voice became smaller and smaller, but Murong Zhi still listened carefully. Her intentions Murong Zhi had completely understood. Gently hooking the corners of her mouth, she laughed, slowly walked to Lixia step by step, opened her hands, and gently wrapped her in her arms, her voice was unprecedentedly gentle and delicate: "I have received your heart, thank you, fool." "She has received the best New Year's gift.

In the end, Lixia still didn't beat Murong Zhi, and she really just simply 'inserted' a step shake and a few hairpins on her head, and the head and tassels that were too heavy really didn't greet her head. She's a martial arts practitioner, of course, and these weights are a piece of cake for her, but she just doesn't like it. The golden 'color' does not give her the so-called sense of security or peace of mind, it only gives her the impression of vulgarity, which is really unnecessary.

Murong Zhi packed up and put on her clothes, changed her shoes and prepared to go out, but was told by Lixia that she would wait until Qing Ruifan came to pick her up. What is the unwritten rule in the palace, the emperor and the queen mother must attend at the same time, and behind them is a vote of concubines, and they enter the Qiyuan Palace. Troublesome but necessary.

So when Murong Zhi walked into the main hall, she saw a room full of concubines, although she didn't feel very comfortable, she didn't say anything, just greeted each other, sat on the right seat, and waited for Qing Ruifan. It didn't take long for Qing Ruifan to walk in with a blue coat and swagger. The five-clawed golden dragon of the yellow 'color' was shining in front of the 'chest', and a pair of golden silk eyes were full of majesty. The dragon on the waist is inlaid with gold 'jade', which makes the whole person look majestic. With sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a wide Yin Hall, and deep dark eyes, such a man is the wishful husband of all the ladies of the boudoir.

"Concubine Wan is dressed a little plain today." Walking in and looking around the hall, the first thing Qing Ruifan said in addition to being flat was this. Yang Li'er's expression was faint, as if it was a normal thing to be nominated by Qing Ruifan, blessed with a blessed body, and responded lightly: "It's a good thing for the big guy to be happy at the reunion banquet, and the clothes are all external." "Yang Li'er has always spoken carefully, and she can achieve her goals without hitting anyone.

Sure enough, this passage won Qing Ruifan's heart very much, causing him to laugh: "Everyone is happy." The corners of his eyebrows would curl up when he really smiled, he didn't necessarily know it, but Murong Zhi observed it. After all, she had watched his expression so closely, especially when he said he liked her very much.

Many times the habits formed are not voluntary or out of desire, the subconscious is a very frightening force, and it will always become a habit invisibly, whether it is really out of the heart or not. Many people don't like Murong Zhi's overly keen observation ability, but Murong Zhi herself has benefited a lot, and she thinks it's good, so it's okay.

After everyone assembled, they had to go to the Queen Mother. Ci'an Hall is not too far from Qiyuan Hall, and even if it is far away at night, it is a good thing. At the very least, it can warm up the body, and it can be regarded as preparing for activities.

The Queen Mother was also prepared early, dressed in a dark gold silk chrysanthemum placket and simple but not simple amber stone jewelry on her head, dignified and full of majesty, and Murong Zhi's clothes were a little strange for no reason. The Queen Mother glanced at all the concubines lightly, her eyes were full of the so-called light of love, and the arc of her smile was comparable to that of the Bodhisattvas.

The group pulled a long line to the Qiyuan Palace, the queen mother and the emperor walked in the front, along the way there were talking and laughing to discuss this year's Niancheng and also review the previous past, very harmonious. Jiang Quanyue walked behind Murong Zhi with the three concubines, but Concubine Zhao was side by side with Murong Zhi, although the two of them had nothing to say, they already understood too much with one look. Murong Zhi couldn't talk about her fate with Concubine Zhao, but she subconsciously felt that she could believe it. This is a strange fate, because the mother who rarely sees each other.

"The emperor and queen mother have arrived, and the queen mother has arrived!" The voice of the blue cloth is not as sharp as the inner 'waiter', and it sounds full of energy, but it is also another feeling, a sense of calmness that the emperor is stable. The ministers knelt down, ordered the 'women' to bend their knees, and the audience solemnly and respectfully greeted the most noble group of people in the entire Han and Qin Empire.

When everyone was seated, Qing Ruifan waved his hand and began to let the blue cloth announce the decree. The blue cloth stood upright on the edge of the throne, his hands clenched, and his voice was good: "Fengtian, carrying the emperor, the edict said: Since I ascended the throne, although I have encountered many changes, I have also received the help of all the ministers. At present, the four seas are leveled, the eight directions are peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, and this is really the image of peace and health. Today, Nianer and others are law-abiding, and they are in the public all night, and they are invited to this banquet. Looking at the sky, there are calendars, and I am in the dynasty. Chin this! ”

Although it is a fixed formulaic language, everyone here also knows that the emperor can mention that helping is already benevolent and righteous, so there is no need to care about those who have it and don't.

After a group of people were seated, the banquet officially began, and the singing, dancing and food were presented one after another, and everyone seemed happy. Murong Zhi began to look around, Qing Ruiyang and Yun Shuang still looked very harmonious, at least Qing Ruiyang knew that if she asked Yun Shuang to drink less wine, Yun Shuang would also look at Qing Ruiyang with a smile and purse her lips; Although Lan Yi is standing next to Qing Ruifan to 'serve', his eyes will still drift to the side of the cuckoo from time to time, and when he looks at each other, he will pull the corners of his mouth and laugh together, ordinary but warm.

Murong Zhi retracted her gaze and looked at the intricate 'flower' pattern in front of her, the texture of bronze determined its texture, cold and heavy, and suddenly she thought of her own life, isn't it the same, cold and heavy? A flash of thought, a mocking smile, picked up the wine lord and raised his head to drink. The cold liquid passed through her throat and made her grit her teeth and shiver, not the spirits, but the temperature.

She watched the dancing trickle in front of her and a group of dancing 'female' pianists shaking their soft water sleeves on the smooth floor, like a blooming lotus 'flower' as beautiful, and the elegant pale pink 'color' had a sense of 'spring' day. People sometimes just like to make themselves uncomfortable, and who can blame them for not letting go of the shadow of nothingness? Many people say that even love will not last long even if they can't see the light, but she looked at the pair in blue, as if they couldn't be explained by this theorem.

Qing Ruifan looked at Murong Zhi who was sitting on his left, and his heart was still a little fluttering. He saw it just now, Murong Zhi's eyes would look at him from time to time, maybe he liked himself, right? He tried to sit up straight to make himself look more 'upright', then deliberately diverted Murong Zhi's gaze and went back to peek at her expression. Seeing her look of loss, his heart was even more certain, and he suddenly felt extremely happy, as happy as when he was in power and signed the first amnesty.

Murong Zhi didn't notice Qing Ruifan's small movements, or she didn't want to notice. She looked around absentmindedly, and then suddenly saw that Qing Ruiting had come alone. It seemed that there was another son of the clan next to him, and the two of them chatted with each other, and it seemed that Qing Ruiting was not interested, he didn't drink a few glasses of wine, and he didn't even look at the lively singing and dancing. Murong Zhi didn't say anything, seeing that he looked like he was 'wanting' and stopped, even if he didn't ask, he would say it himself.

Sure enough, as soon as the third dance started, Qing Ruiting had already walked towards the emperor with a wine glass. Murong Zhi spent all her time playing with the wine lord and waiting to listen to his explanation. "This cup of wine is the first to respect the mother, and I wish the queen mother a good New Year, and the phoenix body is safe." Bend over, raise your hands, and make a clean move. The Queen Mother looked at her youngest son, her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, she took the tea in her hand, said two good words in a row, and then took a sip, which was considered a complete etiquette.

The inner 'waiter' filled the wine glass to the ten princes, and he Qing Ruiting walked in front of Qing Ruifan, looked at the high-spirited young emperor in front of him, and respectfully blessed his imperial brother and sister-in-law, and then had a little difficulty on his face: "Imperial brother, the younger brother wants to go back to the house first." ”

Although Qing Ruifan is not a romantic person, he also 'very' likes singing and dancing, so Qing Ruiting shouted twice to regain his attention. "What's going on in the house that you have to solve in person?" There isn't much time to get together in a year, so how urgent is it to leave so quickly?

"Yue'er was attacked and injured by gangsters last night, and now she is still lying on the 'bed', and her brother wants to go back to accompany her as soon as possible." The moment he said this reason, Qing Ruifan was relieved. He knows better than anyone what his younger brother is, and the only one who can make him a child in this world in an instant is the baby princess of his family.

"Where is Yue'er's injury?" Murong Zhi put down the wine jue and asked. Obviously, Liangyue was fine when she came to her, but something happened to her? She thought that there was a wind and Yiluo here, and Mu Er's trouble would not be too serious, how could they make people stay in bed at this time?

Qing Ruiting didn't like this sister-in-law very much, although Yang Li'er was not a good person, but he still didn't like Murong Zhi. The relationship in her expression didn't look like it was fake, and she still said it honestly: "The knife wound is on the arm, and the wound is not deep, but because her high fever has not subsided, it makes people very worried." "His tangled eyebrows are beautiful, but they also show that he is full of sorrow.

Murong Zhi nodded, and then beckoned to Lixia: "Bring the blue 'color' brocade box in the warehouse." "The key to the treasury has always been with Lixia, Lixia didn't hesitate, she agreed and went, Qing Ruiting didn't even have a chance to say no. Murong Zhi gently tapped her finger on the table, and the dull tapping sound in the full hall of silk and bamboo was indistinct, but what she said was very clear: "The tenth prince must protect Yue'er well, and it only makes sense for the couple to be with each other all the way." Qing Ruiting bowed and nodded in agreement, not feeling offended at all, and the care in her eyes was just as clear.

Lixia took the 'medicine' very quickly, and the blue 'colored' brocade box opened the small porcelain bottle with a plain white 'color' inside, Murong Zhi buckled the Ruyi buckle and handed it to Qing Ruiting: "You can use this as you like to use the 'medicine' of gold sores, and it won't leave a scar." "Gu Liangyue is a person who cherishes herself very much, and she doesn't want to leave any marks on her body. Qing Ruiting thanked him, said goodbye to Qing Ruifan and the Queen Mother again, and quietly withdrew from the Qiyuan Palace.

Murong Zhi took the cup in her hand and gently put it on the table. Then she took Lixia around the screen and gently exited - although she didn't think about it, the air inside was so stuffy that she still couldn't stand it. The smell of incense and the coercion brought by the burning charcoal fire like a black cloud overpowering her involuntarily began to be irritable.

"Are you okay?" A male voice sounded in the back, this acquaintance. Murong Zhi stood up straight with Li Xia's hand, and when she looked back, she saw Ouyang. "There is nothing to do in this palace, but I haven't had time to congratulate Lord Ouyang on his promotion to the right minister."

The matter of the 'chaos' by the minister was finally resolved before the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the emperor caught several account books that directly proved the evil behavior of the prime minister accepting bribes and buying and selling border civilians as slaves, Qing Ruifan was furious, the prime minister was directly executed, and the friends involved dozens of people died, and the sentences were sentenced, and after all the bloody and bloody rain was cleared for a while, Qing Ruifan's thunderous momentum was replaced by a new batch of "department" directors of various ministries, and they were all done in an orderly manner. Ouyang was promoted at that time, and together with Qing Ruiyang, he left and right the prime minister and assisted the new emperor.

"Niangniang has been tortured by the lower officials, if it weren't for the mother, how could the lower officials have today?" Ouyang knew that he had a few pounds and a few taels, and he was a speech official himself, and he was not good at the meticulous work of collecting evidence. So whether it was the account book at that time, or the later torture, Murong Zhi found someone to help him settle it. It doesn't seem that the two of them are despicable, it's as simple as that. Although he is not good at action, he has a unique vision, which is a very useful thing for Murong Zhi.

"Today is the New Year, so there is no need to pay attention to those false courtesies, what the palace wants, adults have always known." Murong Zhi doesn't want to talk nonsense now, she feels uncomfortable and wants to take it slowly, but it doesn't mean that she likes to be stared at by others so naked. She doesn't like to show how vulnerable she really is in front of anyone.

"It's really uncomfortable for the lower officials to see Niangniang, why don't you go to the side hall to rest?" Ouyang was completely well-intentioned. Murong Zhi's decisive 'sex' and high-speed work efficiency made him admire in his heart, such a 'female' person was not his choice, but he liked her characteristics.

"Right Prime Minister should go back, the palace is fine." The wind in the north was much stronger than in the south, and now she was much better, and as her mind cleared up, she understood more and more that the situation with Ouyang and her was easy to criticize. Ouyang was also a knowledgeable person, nodded lightly and turned to leave.

Suddenly the cough came unusually turbulent, Murong Zhi bent down, suddenly blushed, the coughing sound was intermittent but very hard, she stretched out her index finger and middle finger, and pinched the throat tube hard, hoping to cough out the choking in her throat, but it didn't have a big effect.

Lixia was frightened. As far as she knew, Murong Zhi didn't eat anything just now, she drank the most wine, and she didn't take a few bites of the food in front of her, so there shouldn't be anything choking her, but now she couldn't do anything except pat her back gently, and her anxious face was useless.

Murong Zhi didn't know how long she had been coughing, but she was tired. She's the kind of person who thinks she's happy, so she slowly retracts her voice, and if she can't cough it out, she just let it go. Lixia was still beside her, but there was an extra figure behind her.

"Is the master alright?" Mu Yi's voice could only be embarrassed in Murong Zhi's ears at this time. She doesn't like to show vulnerability. "I'm fine." When she saw Mu Yi, a burly and sturdy man dressed in black, she suddenly remembered that she had called him. But

"Mu Yi, you've always been by my side?" She sent the news to Mu Yi after Qing Ruiting left, and Mu Yi came over at this time, and the speed was a little abnormal. Seeing Mu Yi nodding, she closed her eyes and knew.

"What did Mu Er tell you about Liangyue's withdrawal?" Until now, Murong Zhi still thinks that Gu Liangyue is withdrawing and cannot be regarded as a defection. But what Mu Yi said was the word "betrayal", which simply showed the attitude of the Mu family. I'm afraid this matter can't be whitewashed.

"That's it, you go down first, and tell Zhuangzili that the action that should be done should be done quickly, time is running out." Murong Zhi took a deep breath, feeling that her lungs had opened a lot, and the turbidity in her 'chest' cavity had been neutralized a lot, "Don't follow me anymore, I will naturally contact you when I finish my business." "The voice is very calm, as if it will be as flat as tomorrow, but the wind and waves behind it are known only to a few of them.

Mu Yi was ordered to leave, and the man standing in the shadow of the 'yin' was silent for a while, as if he was considering the words, and waited for a while before saying: "Ah Zhi......" Murong Zhi's least favorite thing is this sentence, and the 'desire' is not simply at all.

"If you swallow, swallow it back." Murong Zhi's eyes suddenly became fierce, provoking the red 'colored' corners of her eyes with eye makeup bewitching and dangerous. She was already impatient, the pain in her body just now was still rolling in her lungs, Mu Yi's answer also made her feel uncomfortable, and now this gentle and forbearant emperor made her feel even more troublesome. There is a strong contrast between the emperor and Wen Tunyin, why doesn't he understand?

"Ah Zhi, are you going to do something?" "You don't care about my business!" Qing Ruifan was used to Murong Zhi hiding something from him, but he didn't expect him to be murdered back. At this time, she became almost unknown to him. So is it really too much to manage yourself? But he felt that he was right, obviously he cared about her.

"You challenge my bottom line again and again, and 'intervene' in my affairs at will, do you really think I won't kill you?" Murong Zhi still didn't suppress his anger, he directly pulled out the golden hairpin from his hand, held it in his hand like a hidden weapon, and turned over and 'forced' straight to Qing Ruifan's neck, which could be stopped in a millimeter.

"Ah Zhi, are you willing to do it?" Qing Ruifan was full of confidence now, and he didn't believe that she could really kill him because she looked at him so diligently in the banquet just now. His eyes were as bright as a sea of stars and as warm as the sun, but it could only make Murong Zhi's heart even more uncomfortable.

Why can everyone be moths to the fire to pursue and love, and they will be bound and bound in the dark? That's why she wanted to finish her mission and leave right away. Life is short, and she doesn't know how long her broken body can survive, so she has to 'spend' every minute and every second on worthwhile things and people. She is really fed up with the scarlet 'color' barrier and the dark 'color' scheme!

"What do you think?" Murong Zhi suddenly laughed, the golden hairpin in his hand really moved forward, and blood marks slowly appeared on Qing Ruifan's 'naked' and 'exposed' neck, and blood began to ooze little by little. Her smile is very warm, it is the kind of smile that is completely unguarded and sincere, it is really as elegant and beautiful as Yuanluo's 'flower', and it even made Qing Ruifan stupid for a while.

"What are you doing?" The old man's majestic and angry voice sounded behind him. Both of them stopped for a moment and looked at the place where the sound came from - the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother stood directly behind them with Duanxia, not seeing Qing Ruifan's expression, but seeing Murong Zhi's hideousness and the murder weapon in her hand clearly, she couldn't help but be furious. The son who has been cared for for for so many years was actually stabbed against by a 'woman' from an unknown background and a lowly background? Is there any reason for this emperor to be?

"What does the queen want today? Don't you dislike the clothes on your body and aren't 'colorful' enough? "The Queen Mother didn't like Murong Zhi's dress today, she usually looks like she is easy to talk to, and the clothes on her body are as quiet as palace 'women', who are you going to seduce at a state banquet today?

More importantly, Murong Zhi's dress reminded her of a familiar old man, because it was too similar, so it was uncomfortable to think about it. After all, the Queen Mother has seen the world, although she suppressed the feeling on her face, but she can think about it vividly in her heart.

"The queen mother forgives her sins, Ah Zhi is just joking with her sons, we are just joking." Murong Zhi didn't want to say a word, the expression on her face was as stiff as a stone, so it was Qing Ruifan who came out in the end. He ignored the red wound on his neck, and knelt down on one knee to explain to the Queen Mother. With Murong Zhi's expression, it didn't seem to be real at all.

"Okay, how long do you want to protect her, Emperor? How could this vulgar and inferior 'sex' of the 'female' family in the countryside disappear without a trace so quickly? "A vulgar 'girl' in the countryside? Murong Zhi suddenly felt funny. Gu Huai is the first emperor's personal order to explore the 'flower', and the offspring taught by him are definitely not compatible with vulgarity, although Changling is farther away, it can be regarded as a rule, and it has nothing to do with the countryside, has this queen mother always looked at her like this?

"Someone." The Queen Mother saw that Murong Zhi didn't plan to speak, and she didn't bother to talk to her anymore, so she called someone directly. The Praetorian Guards came running with swords and spears, looking at the three supreme masters with a resolute expression.

"The queen betrays morality, offends the emperor, and is fined 20 boards." As soon as the words fell, she took Duanxia's hand and walked in front of Murong Zhi, her voice was slow but clear, with obvious mockery: "Since you like to use the golden hairpin as a weapon so much, then so be it." You wear gorgeous clothes for half a month, and walk to the Yongyuan Hall every day to serve the emperor for lunch. ”

Murong Zhi still didn't say anything, she didn't care much about it now. No matter what the person in front of her says, he can't change the fact that she will die, and she will take revenge on all the humiliations she has suffered. She has always believed in one report after another.

Qing Ruifan looked at Murong Zhimuran's face and wanted to persuade the Empress Dowager that it was not appropriate to see blood on Chinese New Year's Eve today, but the Empress Dowager closed her mouth with an eye knife. After thinking about it, he still felt that Murong Zhi was more important: "Queen Mother, I asked Ah Zhi to do this. If the queen mother really wants to be punished, then even the sons and daughters should be punished together! His voice was urgent, but it was of little use to the Queen Mother.

"Take it away." The Queen Mother waved her right hand, and the golden chrysanthemum pattern rose and fell in the moonlight like a golden "wave" and "wave". Not to mention that it threatens the safety of his own son and the leadership of the entire dynasty.

Murong Zhi is unusually obedient, almost not what she is as she is. Lixia wanted to follow, but was given another order by Duanxia. The Queen Mother asked Qing Ruifan to help her back to the main hall, the banquet is so big, you can't just ignore anything.

The farce ended, leaving no trace.
