Chapter 59
"Concubine De's birthday is today, and she is the emperor's favorite person. It is appropriate for the emperor to treat her differently."
Queen Zhao suppressed the turmoil in her heart and smiled slightly, "It's almost time, we should go there! We can't let the emperor wait for us."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
The four of them followed her, followed by the palace people.
The group of people headed toward the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a mighty manner.
The snow barely stopped last night, and the palace was covered with a thick layer of snow.
The sunset has not yet completely set, and the sky is covered with gorgeous residual clouds, as if someone has cut up orange-red paper and scatters them scatteredly on the horizon.
The winter night comes earlier and silently.
The snow in the imperial garden has been cleared by the palace staff.
Outside the cloister, under the eaves, and on the treetops, there are all small palace lanterns.
At this moment, the palace lantern has not been lit yet.
Swaying gently in the wind, it is really beautiful.
Queen Zhao and her party took the lead in entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The time of application had arrived, and the palace was filled with civil and military officials and their families. Seeing Queen Zhao and her entourage come in, they all stood up to say hello. Queen Zhao smiled brightly and signaled that everyone did not need to be polite.
As soon as they sat down, Mo Zongran came in with De Fei and others.
Queen Zhao quickly stood up to say hello.
Concubine De is the birthday girl today, and she and Empress Zhao are sitting next to Mo Zongran.
Everyone only looked at Queen Zhao coming in first, but Concubine De came in with the Queen...
Suddenly, the expressions were different.
After so many years, I don’t know how the queen has endured it.
Mo Zongran said the opening remarks, and the dancer entered the hall and danced gracefully.
This is the first time in four years that Yun Wanning has attended a palace banquet.
She had been banned for four years, and almost everyone in the capital had forgotten the existence of a figure like her. When they saw her following Concubine De with her hands down, and coming in side by side with Mo Ye, everyone's eyes flickered slightly.
He immediately guessed that she was Princess Ming, who had only "recuperated" in the past two months and appeared in front of everyone.
The sound of silk and bamboo covered everyone's voices.
Hundreds of officials mingled with each other, chatting and laughing.
The female relatives were in groups and talking a lot.
"After four years of not seeing each other, Princess Ming has become even more dazzling! Look at her skin, which is as white as snow and can be broken by a blow. Even Princess Ying is outclassed!"
"Yes! I think back then, Princess Ying was a famous beauty in the capital!"
"Originally, I was still regretful about the incident between Prince Ming and Princess Ying, but now it seems...it was a blessing in disguise!"
The female relatives are not far from Qin Sixue.
She had been eavesdropping with her ears perked up, and when she heard the whispers of the female family members, her face immediately stiffened.
If they want to talk about Yun Wanning, no one can stop them!
But why drag her down?!
Compared with Yun Wanning, she is now inferior to her... However, she has given birth to two daughters after all. Giving birth to a child is like a trip to the gate of hell, how old will it be.
Yun Wanning didn't even lay an egg, why should she compare with her?!
But listening to the discussion behind her, she felt unhappy after all.
After a while, Qin Sixue couldn't bear it anymore, got up and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After a while, a little palace maid came in with her head lowered and whispered a few words in Mo Ye's ear.
He frowned slightly and quickly went out.
Facing the different looks from everyone, Yun Wanning remained calm and composed.
These glances were either probing, surprising, or friendly, and she had no psychological baggage at all. They were just glances, and they would not shed a piece of flesh.
However, the dim sum in this palace is indeed delicious.
This fruit wine is indeed delicious.
Before she knew it, she had drank half a bottle of cider.
At this moment, a round-faced little palace maid came to her and spoke to her in a low voice.
"oh?"
Yun Wanning raised her eyebrows and put down the wine glass in her hand, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
The little palace maid nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Princess Ming, I did see it with my own eyes. I was afraid that something would happen, so I came to give you a reply immediately."
"Would you be so kind?"
Yun Wanning smiled half-heartedly, "Aren't you afraid that you offended Princess Ying?"
"Slave..."
The little palace maid's eyes dodge and she can't answer.
"That's all! In that case, I, the princess, will go and have a look!"
Yun Wanning picked up the brocade handkerchief and gently wiped her lips, stood up and went out.
It just so happened that she was a little drunk.
In this kind of situation, once a person is drunk, something is most likely to happen... She had better go out for a walk and blow in the cold wind to sober up.
Seeing that she had gone out, the little palace maid quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Following the little palace maid's prompts, Yun Wanning quickly left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and walked towards the Imperial Garden.
At this moment, the palace lantern has been turned on.
It complements the snow and exudes crystal white light.
The imperial garden was deserted.
Not far away, there were a few faint sounds of crying. But they were quickly blown away by the wind in her ears. At first glance, she thought she heard it wrong.
Yun Wanning had a smile on her lips.
Walking along the path to the depths of the Royal Garden, the resentful cries became clearer and clearer.
There are many innocent souls in the palace.
If it were anyone else, hearing this cry would definitely make their backs run cold and their hair stand on end.
But Yun Wanning was very familiar with this cry.
I still remember the palace banquet four years ago...
It was also such a night full of snow, and it was also in this cold and quiet imperial garden. Qin Xixue cried with pear blossoms and rain, accusing Yun Wanning of harming her.
Closer, closer.
Yun Wanning approached and saw a pavilion less than ten meters away.
She stopped behind the trees and looked at the two people in the pavilion with interest.
It’s still this pavilion, it’s still these two people.
Four years have passed, and Qin Sixue has no memory.
Why don’t you change places?!
Looking up, she saw a figure standing in the pavilion with his back to her. Qin Sixue's intermittent cries reached Yun Wanning's ears, "Brother Ye, do you really want to hurt me like this?"
Heart?"
"Although I am married to the king of the camp, the person in my heart has always been you!"
You can't see Qin Sixue's face that needs a beating.
I couldn't see the look on Mo Ye's face.
But looking at Yun Wanning from this angle...
Qin Sixue seemed to be leaning in Mo Ye's arms and complaining, "What happened to you these days? Why did you do this to me?"
"Did you really fall in love with Yun Wanning?!"
"So what?"
Mo Ye's voice was emotionless, "She is my king's princess."
"You are my third sister-in-law."
vomit……
Yun Wanning rolled her eyes and felt like vomiting.
"Did you really fall in love with her?!"
Qin Sixue raised her voice a little higher, obviously surprised, "Brother Ye, you said you only love me in this life! Why did you break your promise?!"
vomit……
Yun Wanning continued to roll her eyes.
Did Liang Jingru give Qin Sixue the courage, or did Faye Wong give her this big face?
She didn't want to go out at this time and ruin the atmosphere.
She wanted to hear how disgusting Qin Sixue could say.
