Chun'er lowered her head.

"Now all the masters of the harem have gone to the Tai Palace, and no one has come to Niangniang."

"Really?"

Wei Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and thought about it.

Nie Yulan's state just now was obviously abnormal, her eyes were watery and rippling.

In Wei Zhenzhen's heart, a bold guess popped up.

But I think it's ridiculous.

Nie Yulan walked to the back and came out after a while.

"Sister Rong Concubine, have you waited for a long time?"

"Aren't you pretty good on weekdays? Why has it been so long today? ”

Wei Zhenzhen got up and glanced at her.

I saw that Nie Yulan's neck was smeared with a layer of powder, and she wore a string of Yingluo that was close to her neck.

It seems that something is deliberately covered up.

Nie Yulan's expression was quiet.

"I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't have the energy today, I was afraid that I would have a business trip at the queen's birthday banquet, so I took the time to make up for sleep, and it was a little delayed."

She smiled and said, "Sister Rong, let's go quickly." ”

The two of them went out of the Yaoguang Hall together.

……

Shen Ruoxi chatted with Murong Minghua for a long time, and finally saw the eunuchs and palace maids come to report and asked everyone to go to the Jiaotai Palace.

The group got up and walked in the direction of the temple.

On both sides of the Jiaotai Palace, according to the official position, the seats have been placed.

Shen Ruoxi went to Shen Tianrong's side.

Emperor Renjing and Empress Su Liuer sat side by side on the main seat.

Today, Su Liuer dressed up.

Wearing a hundred birds and phoenix yellow palace clothes, wearing a golden silk eight treasures and pearl hairpins on his head, and hanging beads and hairpins with five phoenixes in the morning sun, he is less dignified and elegant on weekdays, and more bright and dazzling.

Shen Ruoxi realized that Su Liu'er was really beautiful, but she was too simple on weekdays.

Under the queen's seat are the concubines and princesses led by Qin Guifei.

And under the seat of Emperor Renjing, are the courtiers.

Shen Ruoxi sat in his seat and glanced at the other side quietly.

Under the queen's seat, Qin Haitang is the leader.

Two concubines sat below.

It is Concubine Lu Shuyi and Concubine Ning Yingying.

Last time I came, Shen Ruoxi didn't see the two.

After Lu Shuyi was a loyal general, her father and brother died on the battlefield ten years ago, and the emperor thanked her for her family's loyalty and named her Concubine De.

Over the years, Lu Shuyi has followed the queen to worship the Buddha all the year round, and often went out of the palace to pray for the emperor in the temple.

Shen Ruoxi's gaze fell on Concubine Ning Yingying.

In the harem, one of the most favored concubines is Qin Guifei, and the other is this virtuous concubine.

In the past, when she was still Princess Murong Yu, Fang Hui used to complain to her.

Only then did she know that Ning Yingying's appearance was a bit like the former queen Su Wan'er.

Relying on this reason, for many years, even if she was flying in the harem, and even did some things that could not be put on the stage, the emperor still turned a blind eye to her.

Below the virtuous concubine, is Fang Hui.

Shen Ruoxi looked away and looked at Murong Heng's position.

His place is empty.

People are not there.

However, the position of the first place of the courtier is also empty.

That was Prince Rong's position.

Prince Rong Xue Yuan has already come over, she is dressed luxuriously, her appearance is plain, she has a delicate appearance, and her eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to Su Tianling, but she is a little more charming than Su Tianling.

Shen Ruoxi didn't care much about Prince Rong, her mind was on Murong Heng.

Why can't you come back at this hour?

Could it be that he is not well yet?

While he was pondering, he suddenly saw movement outside the hall.

This was followed by the slender voice of the eunuch.

"King Ling has arrived!"

The crowd turned around.

Shen Ruoxi's heart moved, and he immediately raised his eyes.

At the entrance of the hall, a dark robe appeared.

Then, Murong Heng's long figure came into everyone's sight.

With one hand behind his back, he stepped into the temple.

The dark python robe is added, and a white jade belt is tied around the waist, which makes it look wide and narrow, and has an outstanding temperament.

The ministers immediately stood up and saluted him.

He stretched out his hand and motioned for the group to rise.

On his handsome and delicate face, he always looked faint, but his eyes were glowing with natural coldness, with a compelling three-point sharpness.

He hadn't been out of the East Palace for many days before, and there had been a lot of speculation among the courtiers.

Now that he appeared safely, everyone's minds fell back to their original places.

Murong Heng stepped forward.

"The sons and daughters see their father, the queen and the queen mother, may the father and the emperor live a long life, and the queen mother will live a long and healthy life."

Emperor Renjing spoke.

"Why is it so late today, if it's too late, my father will punish you!"

Although the tone was reproachful, the eyes were very loving.

Murong Heng said.

"The father forgives the sin, and the son has been waiting for the birthday gift of the queen mother, so he came late."

"Oh? Then I'll see what rare things you've prepared this time. ”

Emperor Renjing smiled loudly, and then waved his hand.

"Take a seat."

Murong Heng bowed his hand and turned to his place.

Shen Ruoxi looked at him.

I saw that after Murong Heng sat down, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Shen Ruoxi.

His eyes were always cold.

But now a few meters away, Shen Ruoxi felt that his gaze was like substance, and he saw it in her heart.

Shen Ruoxi's long eyelashes fanned slightly, and her heart beat a little fast.

At the same time, it overflows with the joy of an unknown life.

However, the next second, she felt another gaze.

She turned her head slightly, but saw that next to Murong Heng, Murong Yu was staring at her closely.

The brows are slightly locked, and the gaze is deep.

Seems to have something to say to her.

Shen Ruoxi's heart was pounding with a deer, and he was killed in an instant.

The heart is like water, and it is even a little nauseous.

She turned her head expressionlessly.

Bad luck.

Everyone waited for a moment, and then, Emperor Renjing frowned.

"It's this hour, why hasn't Prince Rong arrived yet?"

Prince Rong and Princess Xue Yuan said immediately.

"Your Majesty, the prince said that there is an urgent matter, and it will be a little later, please forgive the emperor."

"He's not too late."

Su Liu'er immediately said softly.

"The emperor is right, when the concubine returns, he will talk about him and let him punish himself with three cups."

"Hmm."

Emperor Renjing replied lightly.

His expression did not soften.

Shen Ruoxi held the cup, her expression flickering.

This Prince Rong, she has never seen.

But he has always been proud of his achievements and his form is wild.

If Murong Heng is his own way, then he is no one in his eyes.

Such courtiers, Emperor Renjing kept him, and it was really because he couldn't help him.

"Prince Rong has arrived!"

With the report of the eunuch at the door, a tall and straight figure appeared in front of everyone.

Su Sheng was dressed in a purple-black python robe, with a pair of short boots sewn with gold thread under his feet.

He shook his wide sleeved robe and stepped into the temple.

Shen Ruoxi's eyes fell on Su Sheng's face, and there was a moment of surprise.

She always thought that Prince Rong was a burly man with five big and three thick figures.

I don't want to be so handsome.

The eyes are narrow, the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are crimson.

Because he is thirty-two years old, he has a grace and bearing that has been precipitated by time, and he is unbridled between his eyebrows, with a kingly demeanor.

He bowed his hand to Emperor Renjing and Su Liu'er.

"Long live my emperor, the queen is a thousand years old, the minister has something to delay, it's late, forgive the sin."

Emperor Renjing said with a smile.

"Prince Rong is busy with official business, and he is late, I and the queen can understand."

"Emperor Xie!"

Su Sheng got up and was about to sit down, when a faint voice suddenly came from the side.

"The queen mother just said that Prince Rong is too late, so he has to punish himself with three cups."

Murong Heng's beautiful fox eyes hooked, with a lazy smile: "Prince Rong has to have a few drinks." ”
