The capital, inside the Cuiyan Pavilion!

Helian Che took off his mask and handed it to Xinji, revealing his peerless face, but this face was cold, and he couldn't see a trace of a smile, even if he was still smiling under the mask just now, he didn't smile at all after taking off the mask.

"Hall Master, where have you been so late?" Xinjiao asked out of concern.

"Let's go!" A faint sentence, but it didn't explain much.

Out of the sensitivity of the woman, Xinjiao felt that the hall master must have something to hide from her, so she unconsciously asked: "Hall master, is there something that even Xinji can't know?" ”

Hearing Xin Ji say this, Helian Che subconsciously glanced at her, and then said lightly: "There are some things that should be told to you, and the hall master will tell you, but there are some things that should not be told to you......"

"My subordinates know, and my subordinates won't ask any more." Seeing Helian Che say this, Xin Ji knew that she had overstepped herself, so she hurriedly said.

"That's the best!" Helian Che's temperament is extremely weak, of course, this is only true for most people, but for others, such as Su Yuemei, it is different.

Seeing that Helian Che was not angry, Xinjiao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out an invitation from her arms and handed it to Helian Che and said, "Hall Master, this is an invitation from the palace, inviting you to attend the prince's celebration banquet." ”

"Celebration feast?" Helian Che smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, and instead of opening the invitation, he asked, "Did anyone say anything?" ”

"Yes, it seems that the celebration banquet will be combined with the dancing girl audition, and it will be much more lively than in previous years." Xin Ji said unconsciously.

"It's best this way, the more lively it is, the more drama there will be!" Helian Che didn't realize that he was confident, and he thought that it was finally time for his chess pieces to come into play.

It is said that soon it will be the day of the prince's celebration banquet, and all the civil and military officials will gather in the main hall, waiting for the arrival of Murong Sheng today.

"Oh, Lord Ji, you are here, I heard that you are a great hero in the treatment of the flood in the southwest this time!" Some of the officials couldn't help but congratulate.

"Where, where, Ji is just doing his best, all relying on the wisdom of the current emperor and the enlightened prosperity of the Xiyan Kingdom, so that the flood can be eliminated as soon as possible." Master Ji said unconsciously.

"Master Ji is really humble, I have to learn more from Master Ji."

"No, Ji should learn more from everyone, everyone is Ji's teacher." Master Ji couldn't help but say hello.

"You're welcome!"

As he spoke, Prime Minister Su Yu came with a few officials, and when he saw Lord Ji, he couldn't help but nodded, and then found a place to sit down, just next to Shangguan House, the two looked at each other, and Su Yu said: "Congratulations to Lord Shangguan!" ”

"Why did Prime Minister Su Cheng say this, this opening of his mouth is to congratulate the old man, it really makes the old man not panic?" Shangguan Cuo said.

"Why do you have to say that, Lord Shangguan, this capital has spread, the position of the future crown princess is none other than your Feiyan, do you think I, Su Yu, should congratulate you!" Su Yu had a cheerful temperament and replied directly.

"This is all a gift from the emperor today, it is the emperor's kindness to our Shangguan family, and it is really a happy event, the old man has thanked Prime Minister Su here." Shangguan Cuo understood what Su Yu meant, he said it very solemnly, and he was not overjoyed.

In other words, this officialdom is bloody and bloody, it seems to be proud on the surface, but in fact it may not be, the ups and downs are the most normal, and Shangguancuo is so vigilant, but it is also a habit that has been cultivated for many years.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Unknowingly, Murong Xuan also arrived with Xiao Lizi, and he greeted the civil and military officials one by one when he saw them.

"The king of Dongjun has arrived!" Soon, Murong Ba also came with his entourage, and the hall became very lively.

"The emperor has a decree, because the weather is very good today and there are many people, so please move everyone outside the palace to enjoy the beautiful scenery." At this time, a eunuch preached, and when everyone saw this, they had to move out of the temple.

But fortunately, arrangements have been made outside the hall, and everyone has found a place to sit down, and soon, those elder brothers and concubines have also arrived, and the palace band played music, and the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra is not noticed.

"The emperor has arrived!" In the end, Emperor Murong Sheng appeared on the stage, and as soon as he appeared, the civil and military officials unconsciously bowed down and knelt down, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor on the dragon body!" ”

"Everyone is flat!" After Murong finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said: "Today is a festive day, everyone just eat and drink happily, and you don't have to pay too much attention to the etiquette of those monarchs and ministers in the past, so as not to lose the fun." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Seeing this, everyone unconsciously replied.

"Your Majesty, today's weather is really good, the wind and the sun are beautiful, it's really a royal face!" At this time, Queen Luo Yunfeng sat next to Murong Sheng and said unconsciously.

"No, it seems that our Xiyan Kingdom is still favored by God." Murong Sheng seemed to be in a good mood, he quickly took a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it slowly.

"Quick, don't serve tea to the emperor yet!" Seeing this, the queen hurriedly instructed the palace people on the side.

"Yes, Queen!" Seeing this, the palace people hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Murong Sheng.

"Queen, don't be too nervous today, try to relax, there will be a dancing girl tryout in a while, you and I can enjoy it together." The emperor drank; I couldn't help but say after taking a sip of tea.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Luo Yunfeng listened to it, and felt very happy in his heart.

At this time, Concubine Ling, Concubine Chun, and the ladies of the other palaces were also sitting in order according to their grades, and the concubines saw the queen and the emperor and his wife, and naturally felt a little awkward in their hearts. It is said that they are also the emperor's wives, why are they so separated from the emperor, but because of the queen's noble status, they can only sigh.

"The child meets the mother!" At this time, Murong Ke also came here, and he saw the queen mother sitting on the side a little lonely, and unconsciously stepped forward to say goodbye.

"Ke'er, you're here." Concubine Ling looked at Murong Ke and smiled, and then said, "Today, why haven't you seen Miss Yue'er with you?" ”

"Today is a celebration banquet, the child is afraid that it will not be good for the last month, so let her stay in the house to rest, and the mother concubine should not worry." Murong Ke said extremely tactfully.

"Oh, I see, then you can sit down, the mother is fine." Concubine Ling smiled again.

She was used to this kind of occasion, and she didn't plan to come to this kind of occasion, but she couldn't bear to see the emperor, but now it seems that even if she sees the emperor, what's the use, it's just a few glances at him from afar.

"In that case, the child is gone." After Murong Ke finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the concubine on the side sighed when he saw this: "Concubine Ling really gave birth to a good son, but unlike us concubines, although she has an empty reputation, she has no children under her knees, and I don't know who to count on when I get old in the future?" ”

Who's to say it isn't? This concubine's words are not unreasonable, and the concubine had to smile at her, but she didn't say anything, but she didn't feel clear in her heart.

Yes, she has regrets now, regrets that she can't get the love of her husband that ordinary people in the world can enjoy, but she still has Ke'er, compared with those concubines in the palace who have no heirs, she seems to be much happier.

"Princess, Your Highness Princess, where are you going?" Zijuan saw that Murong Yanyu did not go to the outer hall, but walked towards a remote place, and asked unconsciously.

"Zijuan, have you heard of the court?" Murong Yanyu asked unconsciously.

"Nope!" Zijuan shook her head.

"I heard that it is a forbidden place for the palace, this princess is very curious, seeing that everyone is going to the outer hall to help today, why don't you accompany this princess to the court to have a look." Murong Yanyu said suddenly.

"No, princess, since it is a forbidden place in the palace, naturally outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave, I think the princess is still dead." Zijuan doesn't have the courage to do this, no matter how much the princess messes around, she is still a princess, but she is a palace maid, where can she take on such a big responsibility.

"Hmph, it's not interesting." Murong Yanyu glanced at Zijuan, and then planned to go alone, but he didn't want to run into Murong Chong who came over.

"Sister Yanyu, why are you here?" Murong Chong watched Murong Yanyu walk in the opposite direction, and was not surprised.

"Brother Chong, it turned out to be you!" Murong Yanyu didn't expect to meet Murong Chong here, she knew that Murong Chong had always been fun-loving, so she unconsciously grabbed his arm and pleaded: "Brother Chong, I heard that there is a rare flower in the court, which is very beautiful, why don't you accompany me to take a look." ”

"True or false, it's a forbidden place, how did you think of going there, no, no, it's too obscure, do you know who went there?" Murong Chong hurriedly refused.

"Who are they?" Murong Yanyu wondered.

"There are all the concubines who have been abandoned by their father, and the places where the palace ladies who have committed serious crimes and are seriously ill stay, that place does not see the light of day, there is a musty smell everywhere, rats are reborn, and the plague is rampant, you have to go yourself, and Your Highness will not go." Saying that, Murong Chong shook off Murong Yanyu in disgust, and planned to leave.

"Ah, it's so terrifying!" If it weren't for Murong Chong saying this, Murong Yanyu would still think that the Ye Court was a mysterious place, but now that he thinks about it, it is indeed not a fun place to come to the Ye Court, so his mind that wanted to go to the Ye Court before was unconsciously shaken.

"Hmph, it's much more terrifying than I said, I heard that people who go to the court have gone and never returned, if you are not afraid of being infected, you can go, when the time comes, you will be infected with a disease, don't blame your father for throwing you into the court."

Seeing that Murong Chong said it sincerely, Murong Yanyu was not afraid in his heart, Zijuan couldn't help but persuade when he saw this: "Princess, you see that the three highnesses have said so, it seems that this court is really not something that a person of the princess's status can go, I think the princess should go to the outer hall to participate in the celebration banquet." ”
