Chapter 13: The Palace Banquet
In the past two days, Yunluo has been very idle, the second child did not come to her, and injured the elite of the Yun family yesterday, and no one came to question her, which made Yunluo suspicious. With such a big movement, she didn't believe that the people of the Yun family would not know, or was there something they were plotting about?
Yunluo always felt that things were not as simple as she imagined, and being too calm would make Yunluo feel entangled.
"Miss!" Long'er ran in from outside, seemingly excited.
"What's wrong?" Yunluo looked at the elated Long'er, but he couldn't be happy, too many things had happened recently.
Long'er approached Yunluo and said a few words in Yunluo's ear, and Yunluo immediately grinned.
Waited so long...... Finally a chance.
Situ Yu ...... Wait and see!
Yunluo made a plan with Long'er, and Yunluo took advantage of the night to turn into Yunyan's room, searched inside and out, and sewed white strips of cloth into the dresses worn at the palace banquet tomorrow.
Yunluo was done, and returned to his room to sleep peacefully.
At night, the wind was tight, the rain was tight, and the downpour fell from the sky like a silver curtain in the air.
At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances inscribed with four big characters 'Regent Palace'. The night is as cool as water, the red candles in the window are swaying, the drizzle outside the window is slanting, and the stagnant water is quietly dripping down the eaves, spreading a circle of ripples on the ground, like sighing and retaining.
The door was hidden, King Yu sat on the side of the kang with his knees, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, habitually touching his head with his hands, and Jun Wuchen sat with his legs crossed, it was the two of them who played chess to decide the outcome of the game, King Yu inadvertently asked, why do you want to help the eldest lady of the Yun family, Jun Wuchen was distracted for a while, turned sideways and did not speak, King Yu saw that he had no movement and kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Jun Wuchen picked up the white child at random and replied: "I have my own intentions."
At this time, the corners of Yuwang's mouth turned upward, his hands clapped, and he shouted: "I won!"
Jun Wuchen fixed his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, it seems that I won!"
Yu Wang's eyes widened, and he looked at the chessboard in a panic, and the expression on his face really couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.
Jun Wuchen moved his legs that were a little numb, frowned, and after he was relieved, he stood up, and his voice was slow: "The dark plum smells the flowers, the branches are sad and hateful, the distance is like water, it is easy to penetrate the spring green, the shore is like green, the shore is like green, the shore is like green, and the shore is like green." —"Lying Spring"
King Yu repeated it, and then looked up and wondered: "What do you mean?"
He pressed his temple, go back, I'm a little tired, walked to the door and shouted, come on, send King Yu out of the house.
This night, King Yu completely lost sleep, and kept thinking about Jun Wuchen's poem, and after he told others, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet and wanted to find him desperately.
The original homonym means "I have no culture, I have a very low IQ, you want to ask me who I am, a big stupid donkey, I am a donkey, I am a donkey, I am a stupid donkey".
The next day, Yunluo was wearing the river dress brocade blue that Situ Yu sent that day, and Long'er helped Yunluo's three thousand green silk coiled up with a hairpin. He wore a crystal jasper hairpin on his head, and on the coiled three thousand green silks, there were two or three silk flowers that bloomed with purple light, and the beads on his head were gorgeous, and the fair skin was matched with a blue brocade robe, which made Yunluo look like a kind of unearthly beauty.
When Long'er was boasting about Yunluo, someone came from the prime minister's side, and Long'er prepared a veil for Yunluo, and Yunluo wore it on her face.
In the Fengyu Dynasty, women can show their faces, but Yunluo doesn't want her stunning face to be looked at like this, so that she will get into trouble.
The people sent by Yunxiong dragged Yunluo to the gate, and found that Yunyan was already ready at the door.
When Yunyan saw Yunluo, her face was already not good-looking, but at this time it became even more unsightly, because Yunluo was wearing her clothes, and she looked better than her.
Situ Yu came over at this time, she saw that Yunluo was wearing the clothes she had sent, her face was full of wrinkles with a smile, she walked over and took Yunluo's hand, and said very affectionately, "Luo'er, this dress really fits, Luo'er is on par with Yan'er!"
Yunluo listened to it and didn't respond to anything, just looked at Situ Yu with a slight smile.
When Yunyan saw Yunluo's smile, her heart was blocked, and she said resentfully, "Mother, your daughter is here, why are you going to praise a daughter who has no mother?"
Yunluo's eyes suddenly dimmed, "Where did the second sister say? Mother is Mrs. Prime Minister Fuzheng, Luo'er's mother, your mother, and the mother of the descendants of Fuzhong...... How can you say that Luo'er is a daughter without a mother?"
Yunyan was blocked back by Yunluo like this, it's not that he doesn't say it, he stares at Situ Yu with a pair of resentful eyes, Situ Yu looks at it, he definitely won't refute Yunluo's words, otherwise, isn't he just arguing himself?
"Okay, okay, Yan'er, let's get into the carriage! It's not too early!" Situ Yu didn't want to continue, so he led Yunluo Yunyan into the carriage, Yunxiong was the first to enter a tall carriage, Yunyan was second, and Yunluo sat in the carriage at the end of the smallest.
The carriage traveled far away and left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yunluo sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, and Long'er had been sitting cautiously on the other side in case of accidents.
The road was stable, and it didn't take long to arrive at the palace, the boat and car were tired, Yunluo suddenly stood up, his buttocks were a little sore, Long'er helped Yunluo get out of the carriage, and stood in front of the palace gate with Yunxiong and others.
The palace gate of the palace is divided into the main palace gate and the partial palace gate, and the partial palace gate is divided into four partial palace gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the meaning represented is different.
The main palace gate is the emperor, the concubines above the concubine position, the emperor's concubines and concubines, and the officials above the second rank, and the partial palace gate is divided into a third-order area, and the smaller the official position, the lower the door to enter.
The prime minister is a first-class official, so he naturally walks through the main palace gate. A eunuch walked out of it to guide the prime minister and others, the palace is vast, if there is no familiar person to lead the way, I am afraid that I will not know where to turn for a long time.
Yunluo observed the road all the way, and thought carefully about what would generally happen at this kind of banquet?
Everyone was led to the main hall by the eunuchs, the middle of the main hall is a vermilion lacquer square platform about two meters high, there is a gold lacquer carved dragon throne placed on it, behind it is a carved dragon screen, there are six tall dragon golden pillars on both sides of the square platform, each big pillar is coiled with a vigorous golden dragon;
At this time, some of the maids bowed their heads slightly, bowed slightly, waiting for them to take their seats, some of the officials who came early were languishing there, and some officials were sitting seriously and drinking. Although they were a little bold, they all knew their duties before the emperor came.
Yun Xiong, Situ Yu, and Yun Yan sat down in turn, and Yun Luo found a remote corner to sit, but no one took care of her, Yun Yan and the others wished that Yun Luo would not make a sound on such an occasion, and the more they were on such an occasion, the more they should not be in the limelight, because ...... It's too much trouble.
The officials, ladies and sons came in turn and took place, and Yunluo was bored playing with the wine glass, because the maid would be dismissed and wait when she entered the palace gate, so Long'er was not by Yunluo's side.
Without a little girl chattering, Yunluo suddenly felt lonely.
"The emperor has arrived—"
The eunuch's slender voice called, and he had goosebumps all over his body, and he always heard the eunuch's voice next to the TV in his previous life, and now it seems that the real eunuch's voice is a hundred times more goosebumps than the one in modern TV dramas.
"The queen has arrived—"
"The prince has arrived—"
"King Yu has arrived—"
The eunuch's voice was still ringing unrelentingly, making Yunluo want to plug his ears with earplugs when he listened to it.
Fortunately, the eunuch finally finished shouting.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, mother,
"Crown Prince Wanfu Jin'an! His Royal Highness King Yu Wanfu Jin'an!"
The ministers knelt down and saluted, and Yunluo also bowed his head and knelt.
"Excuse me!" The emperor sat on the throne, his bright yellow embroidered robe was opened, and his majestic and domineering voice reached the ears of the ministers.
"Emperor Xie!" the ministers got up and sat down.
"Everyone, please feel free, today's palace banquet will be held as usual. The emperor was in a good mood, Yunluo raised his head and glanced at the emperor carefully, about forty years old, in the prime of life, Yunluo lowered his head and drank tea in a low voice.
The prince was sitting on the seat not far from Yunyan, and he happened to be able to face Yunyan head-on, Yunluo looked down and found that the position above the prince was empty, and he couldn't help but wonder.
It just so happened that at this time, the prince's eyes touched that position, and with calculation in his eyes, he suddenly got up and said to the emperor, "Father, the son has something to say!"
"What do you say?" said the emperor, whose eyes were a little darker.
"Father, the regent hasn't come yet!" Jun Wulian opened his mouth and bowed to the emperor.
Yunluo saw that Jun Wulian really seized an opportunity and didn't let it go, so he wanted to tear apart the conspiracy of the disguised man, and also, how could the owner of this body fall in love with such a scumbag?
When the emperor heard this, he suddenly asked the attendants beside him, "Why hasn't the regent come yet?"
