The snow fell on the golden tiles and covered them with a blank of white, adding a bit of solemnity to Miyagi.

The carriages of each family entered the palace one after another from the avenue. The palace people performed their duties, and they tightened their skins one after another, for fear of making a mistake.

The bell of the corner tower rang, echoing between the vermilion walls.

The palace banquet began.

Ahya closed her eyes and stood up from the dresser.

She actually wore a red dress, with a golden hairpin sent by Xie Wei in her hair, and the flowers were piled up together, which made people's eyes hurt.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes shining.

After the Taiping Tower that day, Xie Jian used the excuse of government affairs for several days not to come to Qiongzhi Palace.

It wasn't until yesterday that Zhou Zhong led someone to send this set of embroidered gold palace clothes and jewelry, along with a compliment of Xie Ji with an unknown meaning.

He said that she did a good job in the palace.

Ahya couldn't help but pull out a self-deprecating smile, she took a deep breath, her eyes becoming more determined.

For what he wants in his heart, although there are open guns and hidden arrows, he has no fear or regrets.

In the Hanyuan Palace, officials at all levels and their families have been seated according to their grades.

Daxu has an open atmosphere, and the palace banquet is not divided.

In this New Year's Eve of family reunion, the palace concubines can meet their families briefly and say a few words, which is already a comfort that many people look forward to all year round.

When Ahya arrived, the hall that had been peaceful suddenly fell into silence.

Her red dress is like fire, the skirt is embroidered with gold thread with auspicious patterns, her lips are red without dots, and her facial features, which were originally biased towards brightness, are more and more dazzling under the modification of extremely luxurious clothes and hairpins, and she is like a goddess of the Nine Heavens, so that people dare not look directly, and they can't help but peek at this bright color.

Her gaze swept over the empty seat above the hall, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xie Yu hasn't come yet?

"Miss Ahya."

Concubine De stared at her with a dead gaze, if her eyes could turn into a knife, I am afraid that Ahya would not know how many times she would die.

She didn't say anything because of her face, but the big palace maid next to her understood her master's mind the most, and opened her mouth in a weird way.

"Today is a palace banquet, and the palace is either a concubine or an official's family, but there is no place for you."

"Are you running in the wrong place...... Or did you misunderstand your identity? ”

"Huh?"

Ahya paused and tilted her head, as if puzzled: "Today's palace banquet, is it organized by Concubine De's mother?" ”

"It's the lady lady." A woman sitting next to her spoke slowly.

Ahya looked at her and saw her smile in a friendly manner.

With a single glance, Ahya could tell who she was.

That is the concubine family, a recognized good man in the palace, Lin Meiren. She is also Lin Heng's sister, and her name is Wuyue.

Ahya bowed her head at her, as if she greeted her, and then put her gaze back on Concubine De, and the corners of her lips pulled out an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Oh-" she deliberately lengthened her voice and laughed, "then how do you know that I don't have a place?" ”

"Your Majesty clearly said that you want to welcome the New Year with me." She pursed her lips, a little coquettish, but more deliberately provocative, "And said, you want to sit closer to me." How can there be no place for me in this temple? ”

She didn't leave Xie Ji every word, her chin was slightly raised, and she was as proud as a favored cat.

However, this appearance is extremely dazzling in the eyes of Concubine De.

"The palace has its own rules in the palace." Concubine De suppressed the fire before she could speak with a smile, "Since it is a reward from His Majesty, you can go down and sit down." ”

She is the same concubine as Concubine Shu, so she should naturally be the closest to His Majesty.

No matter how favored this little slut is, he can only get a seat at the end of the concubine.

When she thought of this, she was in a better mood, but when she saw Ahya's footsteps walking briskly towards the top, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Stop! Where are you going! ”

"There."

Ahya obediently stopped, and pointed her head up.

"That's His Majesty's place." Concubine De seemed to have finally grasped her mistake, and immediately attacked, "You dare to have such thoughts, you are simply despising the king and the palace rules!" ”

Ah Ya pursed her lips, and a little grievance suddenly appeared on her face, she wrinkled her nose, and seemed to be a little puzzled: "Didn't I tell Concubine De Niangniang?" ”

"Your Majesty said—you want me to come closer."

She hooked the corners of her lips, raised her chin slightly, and motioned for Concubine De to look.

I don't know when, Zhou Zhong has already taken people and set up a small case next to the emperor's throne.

There was silence in the hall at first, and then there was an uproar.

The only one who can be on an equal footing with the emperor is the queen!

What does this mean, Your Majesty? Is it a hint to the ministers that the phoenix has a master?

Concubine De obviously thought of this stubble as well, and when she looked at the red dress on Ahya's body, she suddenly felt something else.

Originally, I could deceive myself, this red dress was just a slut who didn't know the etiquette, and she was not among the palace concubines, and she was not bound by the palace rules, so she wore it indiscriminately, but now it is ......

Her eyes suddenly crawled bloodshot, she clenched her teeth, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to burst.

"Who will let you wear clothes of this color?" Her voice was sharp, almost bursting, very harsh, "Take it off!" ”

A little coldness flashed in Ahya's eyes, and before she could speak, she heard a familiar male voice behind her.

"Yes."

Xie Jian slowly walked across the main hall and walked towards her, surrounded by a mountain shouting Long live.

But his eyes were gloomy, and he first fell on Ahya's beautiful face, and after staring for a long time, he turned to Concubine De as if he was charity.

"Concubine De, whose clothes are you going to rip off?"

Concubine De was so overwhelmed by his momentum that she was speechless, and only squeezed out two words for a while: "Your Majesty......"

"A lesson from the past, a teacher from the back." He said lightly, with an undisguised warning in his tone, "Before doing things, think more about whether you can bear the result." ”

These words were a bit heavy, like a thunderclap, ringing above Concubine De's head.

"Yes." Her face was almost instantly defeated, her eyes flashed with resentment, and her fingertips were almost embedded in the flesh, barely able to keep the expression on her face from becoming distorted.

For Concubine De, whose eyes are above the top, being disgraced by him in public like this is even more uncomfortable than death.

Xie Yu retracted his gaze, took Ahya by the hand, led her to the top, sat down, and slowly raised his hand.

"Zhongqing is flat."

Only then did the ministers stand up and sit down one after another, looking at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

Who was that woman in the palace, who actually asked His Majesty to reprimand Concubine De for her?

That is the pearl of the He family, a hot candidate for the future queen.

Everyone chatted in a hurry, peeking at the reaction of He Xiang's family, looking at pity or schadenfreude, all of which made people feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

He Xiang's face changed and changed, and after a while, he threw a look at his head.

When he boarded, a spokesman came out of the ranks, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt straight down towards Xie Ji.

Here it comes.

Ahya's eyelids jumped, and she said secretly in her heart.

I heard his firm tone and loud voice, as if he was really a selfless admonition.

"This woman's origin is unknown, sitting with His Majesty, it's really not in accordance with the rules!"

"Dare to fight, please Your Majesty - chase him!"
