Volume 2 Chapter 22 The Gold List and the Storm
Unconsciously, the day passed like this, the night gradually fell, the streets of the imperial city were brightly lit, and the pedestrians did not decrease at all compared to the day, in this environment of lights everywhere, there was quite a bit of peace and tranquility in the atmosphere, Dongfang Xue explained a few words to Bai Yu, and then shouted that the ghost left the Dugu Palace, and went towards the Moon Viewing Tower.
When I came to the moon viewing building, I saw that the moon viewing building had already taken on a new look, and red lanterns were hung all around, under the illumination of the faint candlelight in the lantern, the entire moon viewing building was red, and under the night of this black hole, it was particularly eye-catching.
Dongfang Xue and the two of them walked into the building under the leadership of the reception maid waiting at the door, and before they reached the third floor, the laughter and laughter of the three floors came into the ears of the two, and when they stepped on the wooden staircase, they came to the third floor, only to see that the third floor, which was not big, was already crowded with people, most of these people were dressed in brocade clothes and Miss Gongzi, some Dongfang Xue knew, and some were unseen and unheard of.
When everyone saw that someone was coming up again, they all looked at this strange son, and wondered in their hearts who this boy would be?
Dongfang Xue saw everyone's eyes gathered towards her, and immediately smiled and saluted everyone one by one, and then walked inside. Huangfu Yanran, who was greeting these young ladies inside, and Nangong Yu saw Dongfang Xue coming, the former was very happy, but the latter was puzzled.
After Huangfu Yanran explained to the people beside her, she walked towards Dongfang Xue, and Nangong Yu followed closely behind Huangfu Yanran.
Huangfu Yanran is wearing a white dress today, with tulle inside and outside with the wind, the delicate face is not modified but gives people a pure and bright feeling, Huangfu Yanran walked straight to Dongfang Xue who came forward, smiled and stretched out her thin white hand, and wrapped Dongfang Xue's arm into her arms.
Dongfang Xue only smiled embarrassedly when she saw Huangfu Yanran's movements, but she couldn't push her away, so she had to be pulled by Huangfu Yanran to the inner hall under the surprised, envious, jealous and hateful eyes of the people around her.
Nangong Yu, who was behind Huangfu Yanran, also changed into a light green skirt today, and her figure of one meter seven was simply beautiful, Nangong Yu looked at Dongfang Xue who was taken away by Huangfu Yanran before she had time to talk, and then smiled bitterly, and she had to follow closely with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
When he came to the hall, he found that the hall was already full of people, and there was a middle-aged man on the main seat, although his hair was already gray, but he was still imposing.
Huangfu Yanran saw the man's gaze, so he smiled and walked straight over, and when Huangfu Yanran walked in front of the man under the man's gaze, he bowed to the man with his hands slightly together, and said with a small mouth: "Father!" The man smiled and nodded.
After Huangfu Yanran finished shouting this sentence of father, Dongfang Xue was shocked, and the face of the man in charge changed, and the words that he went to Dongyang City to kill the leader of the forbidden army of Dongfang Wangfu sounded in Dongfang Xue's ears that day: "Dongfang Wangfu kills without forgiveness!!
Nangong Yu saw Dongfang Xue's face change greatly, and suddenly felt bad, and immediately grabbed Dongfang Xue's right hand, which was already clenched into a fist and was trembling, blocked in front of Dongfang Xue, and said to the emperor above: "Dugu Gongzi has always heard of the emperor's uncle's name, and when I see it today, I don't want to be excited and speechless......" After speaking, Nangong Yu's little hand holding Dongfang Xue's fist became tighter and tighter, and then looked towards Dongfang Xue.
Dongfang Xue came to her senses under Nangong Yu's suggestion, and found that her back was already soaked in cold sweat, so she quickly recovered her expression, squeezed out a smile and saluted the emperor who was sitting in the first place: "Minister, Dugu blood!"
"Bold! The emperor didn't kneel down in front of him! The crime of great disrespect should be questioned!" Ximen Hu, who was sitting next to him, stood up and looked at Dongfang Xue, there was another person next to Ximen Hu, who had noticed it since Dongfang Xue came in, but this person was the same age as Ximen Hu, but it gave people an unfathomable feeling, and his cultivation was in the early stage of the Yuan Infant.
Dongfang Xue didn't pay attention to Ximen Tiger, now Ximen Tiger only has one arm, as for who gave him the courage to provoke Dongfang Xue again, if Dongfang Xue's guess is true, it should be the young man next to him......
The current emperor Fusheng, led by "Hahahaha......" laughed, then looked around at the crowd and said: "Young man! Momentum! Extraordinary......
"This ......" Ximen Hu saw that although the emperor was not angry, he was still happy, and immediately stopped talking.
"Are you Duguxue?" Huang Fusheng asked Dongfang Xue below with a kind and gentle face, and Huangfu Yanran was still rubbing the emperor's collar shyly beside Huang Fusheng, looking like a little daughter.
"Yes!" Dongfang Xue replied with only one word, and then raised her head to look at the emperor Fusheng.
The two exchanged glances, and after a while, Huangfu Sheng waved his hand, nodded at Dongfang Xue, and then beckoned: "Sit down for Dugu Gongzi." ”
At this time, Nangong Yu looked at Dongfang Xue, motioned for Dongfang Xue to follow him, and then the two of them found a seat to sit down, and after the two of them were done, Huangfu Sheng looked around at everyone in the hall, nodded with satisfaction and said: "When I see you, I know that my Huangfu Dynasty should be prosperous in the world......
"I'm here today, in addition to being Yanran's birthday, I have two other things to announce! cough cough! cough!" Huang Fu Sheng was just halfway through his words, he coughed violently, and Huang Fu Yan Ran next to him quickly raised his hand and patted his back.
After a while, Huangfu Sheng looked at Huangfu Yanran beside him lovingly and waved his hand, and then said: "As for the two things, the second prince will announce them for everyone in a while, and there are still things to deal with in my palace, so I won't disturb the interest of your juniors, hahaha......"
"Your Majesty, Hong Fu Jin'an, Princess Shoubi Nanshan!" everyone below saluted and congratulated the two.
After the two congratulated, Huang Fusheng was under the gaze of everyone, with the support of the eunuchs around him, and walked down the Moon Tower, before going down, Huang Fusheng did not forget to look back at Dongfang Xue, and then smiled at Dongfang Xue, Dongfang Xue hugged his fists and saluted slightly, and then Huang Fusheng was satisfied with the Moon Tower, and moved back to the palace.
After the emperor left, Huangfu Yanran walked in front of Dongfang Xue and stretched out her little white hand to Dongfang Xue, Dongfang Xue was stunned, wondering if she was getting a little closer to her? Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Dongfang Xue stretched out her hand to hold Huangfu Yanran's hand, and then stood up.
"Big brother, let me introduce you to all the young heroes here!" asked Huangfu Yanran to Dongfang Xue.
Dongfang Xue looked around, saw that everyone's eyes were on his side, and then nodded, and then Huangfu Yanran took his hand and walked forward, Nangong Yu followed closely behind Dongfang Xue and the others, and did not speak.
Huangfu Yanran pulled Dongfang Xue towards two young men with the same similar appearance, these two are different from ordinary people in that there is an old man in gray robe standing behind them, the expressions of the two men are also different, one has a sinister and cunning face when he sees the three people coming, and begins to sneer, but the other person is like Huangfu Sheng just now, with a kind face, seeing the three people coming, he also showed a peaceful smile.
"Big brother, these two are my brothers, this is the eldest brother Huang Fuxiong!" Huang Fu Yanran pointed to the man with a sinister face and introduced, Huang Fuxiong squeezed out a smile at Dongfang Xue, even if it was a salute.
Dongfang Xue nodded, and then looked at the other second prince with a warm smile.
"This is my second brother, Huangfu Tian!" Huangfu Yanran continued.
I saw Huang Futian stand up, smile kindly at Dongfang Xue, and then said: "I have long heard of the name of Brother Dugu, but today I saw it and it was really extraordinary......
"The prince laughed......" Dongfang Xue stretched out her hand and also saluted Huang Futian.
Huangfu Xiong, who was beside him, saw that the two were talking and laughing, and suddenly became unhappy, and picked up the teacup with a black face and began to drink tea.
After introducing the two princes, Huangfu Yanran led Dongfang Xue to the direction of Ximen Tiger with a displeased face, and then introduced: "This is Ximen Tiger's eldest son!"
"Hmph!" Ximen Hu snorted coldly, his eyes glancing away.
Dongfang Xue squeezed out a sneer and nodded, and followed Huangfu Yanran to the other pavilions.
After a while, Huangfu Yanran introduced Dongfang Xue to the people in the entire hall, in addition to the three major princely ladies of the Dongfang Palace, as well as the disciples of the young ladies of some sects such as Qingluan Palace Shifang Valley. Dongfang Xue wondered in her heart, why did the disciples of these sects appear in the Huangfu Dynasty, but she was puzzled, and Dongfang Xue then followed Huangfu Yanran back to her seat.
After watching the silence in the venue, the second prince Huang Futian walked to the main seat of the main hall, looked around at the people below, and said, "Dugu Blood stepped forward to listen to the order!"
Dongfang Xue was shocked, why did he give me a holy decree? Seeing that all the young ladies in the main hall knelt on the ground, including the strange man next to Ximen Hu, and the disciples of the Qingluan Palace of Shifang Valley, Dongfang Xue was really puzzled in his heart, according to the power of the Huangfu Dynasty, whether it was Qingluan Palace or Shifang Valley, they could walk sideways, but why were they so humble?
Puzzled, Dongfang Xue still walked forward in confusion and bent down to receive the order. Seeing that Dongfang Xue didn't kneel, the second prince Huang Futian just smiled, he didn't feel embarrassed, and he didn't wait for Ximen Hu and others to embarrass Dongfang Xue, so he opened his mouth to read the holy decree and choked back the words of several people.
Second, Princess Yanran and Dugu Gongzi have a fate, and I have specially sealed Dugu Blood as the concubine of this dynasty, and the date of marriage will be decided......!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" everyone knelt down to receive the order, and after the second prince signaled, everyone was able to calm down and return to their seats.
Dongfang Xue's bent body didn't move, and her heart was like a stormy wave, and she couldn't figure it out. After everyone sat down, they watched Dongfang Xue's gaze change, and they began to think about it. Even Huangfu Xiong Ximen Hu's face was almost black to the intestines.
Nangong Yu's face turned pale, and a burst of colic came from his heart, and after sitting down in his position, he looked at Dongfang Xue who was bent over with empty eyes.
"Brother Dugu?" Huangfu Tian saw that Dongfang Xue was not moving, and immediately reminded Dongfang Snow Road.
"Minister, Dugu Blood, Accept the Order!" Dongfang Xue said word by word after hearing Huang Futian's reminder, and then took over the holy decree in Huang Futian's hand.
"Hahaha!" Huang Futian laughed and congratulated Dongfang Xue: "Brother Dugu is a double happiness today!"
Dongfang Xue squeezed out a smile and hugged her fist at Huang Futian, and then the two returned to their seats and began to enjoy delicious dishes, and after a while, some gorgeously dressed women came up on the third floor of the Moon Viewing Building and began to sing and dance.
Huangfu Yanran held Dongfang Xue's arm with a delicate face, looked at Dongfang Xue with long eyelashes and big eyes for a while, and lowered his head shyly for a while. Dongfang Xue's heart was also a mess, even Dongfang Xue didn't know why she had just received that holy decree, she did have some personal friendship with Huangfu Yanran, but it was also tightly limited to friends, why would she take that holy decree? Dongfang Xue asked herself in her heart......
"What's wrong with the big brother, is it uncomfortable?" Huangfu Yanran looked at Dongfang Xue in a daze, her face was not good-looking, and she asked with concern.
Dongfang Xue turned her head to look at Huangfu Yanran, only to see Huangfu Yanran shyly lowered her head, and after a while, her big eyes stared at Dongfang Xue with concern.
Dongfang Xue squeezed out a smile, and then explained to Huangfu Yanran: "No, it's just a little trance." ”
"Trance?" the emperor was puzzled.
Seeing that Dongfang Xue nodded and did not explain, Huangfu Yanran did not ask more.
When the dinner was about to end, the eldest prince first left with the old slave in cloth, and then the people from the Beiming family, Qingluan Palace and other major forces began to leave one after another, Ximen Hu and the strange man also walked in front of Huangfu Yanran and hugged their fists and said that they were leaving, Huangfu Yanran nodded with disgust, and the two left, Dongfang Xue knew in her heart that everyone was pretending, in fact, what was in their hearts, it was self-evident.
"Don't think that with the protection of the Huangfu family, you can rest easy!"
Just when Ximen Hu and the others had just walked to the stairs, the strange man suddenly turned his head and glanced at Dongfang Xue, and said to Dongfang Xue in a cold voice, Dongfang Xue looked at the two and smiled, and then the two of them waved their sleeves and left......
When everyone was almost gone, Dongfang Xue also broke free of Huangfu Yanran's little hand and wanted to retreat, just when Huangfu Yanran was wondering why Duguxue would break free of his arm, Nangong Yu, who had been calm for too long, walked in front of Erren.
"Let's go around together!" Nangong Yu suggested to the two.
Huangfu Yanran was suddenly overjoyed, nodded when she looked at Nangong Yu, and then continued to hug Dongfang Xue's arm, but Dongfang Xue looked at Nangong Yu suspiciously. Seeing that Nangong Yu didn't speak, he summoned a maidservant girl to give an order, and then the three of them came to the moon viewing tower and got on a boat, the boat swayed towards the center of the Hanging Moon Lake, there was no boatman on the boat, and the three of them were also swaying and floating by the boat, anyway, there were oars on the boat, and the Hanging Moon Lake was just the same size, and when the three of them were tired of playing, they would just row back.
"Big brother, big brother, look there, look at it, look so beautiful!" said Huangfu Yanran, pointing to the lanterns floating above the lake not far away.
Dongfang Xue looked at the lanterns and nodded, but did not speak, and Nangong Yu was also silent all the time.
After a while, Huangfu Yanran's voice sounded again, and he shouted to the two of them: "Big brother, sister, look there, that star is so beautiful......
............
......
The breeze on the lake gusted and began to cool down, Dongfang Xue took out a flash from the ghost ring and put it on Huangfu Yanran, who shyly put on Dongfang Xue's clothes and snuggled in Dongfang Xue's arms. Nangong Yu clasped his hands in front of his chest, he also felt cold, looked at the appearance of the two and smiled self-deprecatingly, but still did not speak.
When the boat rowed to the middle of the Hanging Moon Lake, suddenly the voice of the old scholar in the ghost ring came: "Young master!
Dongfang Xue was shocked and immediately leaned out of her divine sense and leaned towards the bottom of the lake, only to see that her divine sense had just been probed a few battles underwater and was bounced back by a mysterious force, Dongfang Xue was shocked and immediately withdrew her divine sense, and then asked the old scholar in the ghost ring: "Does the old scholar know, what is this underwater?"
"Young Lord forgive sins, I don't know, but I can sense a force surging below, as if it is about to explode at any moment......," the old scholar explained to Dongfang Xue.
Dongfang Xue thought suspiciously of the humility of Qingluan Palace and Shifang Valley to the Huangfu Emperor today, could it be because of this?
Just when Dongfang Xue was puzzled, suddenly Huangfu Yanran interrupted Dongfang Xue's thoughts and asked with concern: "What's wrong with the eldest brother today? Why is he always so reluctant from time to time?"
Dongfang Xue smiled but shook her head at Huangfu Yanran, who was puzzled to see that Dongfang Xue was fine, so she continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the lake. Dongfang Xue looked at Nangong Yu, only to see Nangong Yu staring at herself, and when she saw herself looking over, she immediately nodded to herself.
Dongfang Xue saw Nangong Yu nodding, and immediately guessed the meaning of Nangong Yu, did she bring the two of her here just to tell herself about it?
After saying goodbye to Nangong Yu, Dongfang Xue pulled Huangfu Yanran and walked towards the palace, Nangong Yu also disappeared on the street corner, and when Dongfang Xue and the two of them could no longer see the complete disappearance on the street, a woman suddenly appeared on the corner of the street where Nangong Yu left, and under the light of the miserable white moonlight, the woman had tears on her cheeks......
Waiting for Dongfang Xue to return to Huangfu Yanran and return to Dugu's mansion, after seeing Luoluo and accompanying Bai Yu for a while, Dongfang Xue returned to her room. Dongfang has too much self-blame in his heart, for Bai Yan, for Nangong Yu, and even more for the emperor......
Dongfang Xue took out a note from her sleeve and opened the note, the handwriting on the note was beautiful, this was exactly what Nangong Yu secretly stuffed to herself when she was not prepared by Huangfu Yanran.
I saw that the note read: The capital is deep, the things of the year were not simple, Yanran is a good girl, you have to treat her well, don't be rash......
With only a few numbers, Dongfang Xue raised his hand and a flame ignited, turning the note into ashes, and then Dongfang Xue lay heavily on the bed, thinking about the slightest thing that had happened recently, since he entered this imperial city, it was as if someone was controlling everything... Eight years ago, since eight years ago, it was as if someone was in control...... Who is it...... Who is it......
