Zhaoqing Hall is tall and majestic, surrounded by pools of water, with jade steps, red beams, and stone patterns, and walls painted in gold.
The Zhuque Pavilion next to it is the attic on the second floor of Zhaoqing Hall. Murong Yingluo wore a Luanfeng Lingyun bun on her head, a colorful phoenix corolla on her head, and a gorgeous nun woven with pale gold hollow palace brocade and peonies on her body.
Layers of bright red thin silk silk brocade fine-grained gauze, and fiery red water sleeves draped over the shoulders.
After a while, the banquet started, and I felt a little nervous. When I saw Amai walking in, I hurriedly asked, "Amai, how are you in the hall?"
"Miss, the emperor and the courtiers are now here. When the music and dancing starts, the lady can enter the palace.
In the hall, Si Wuyue was sitting on the Nine Dragon Throne. He was dressed in a large gold and black robe and wore a crown on his head. His majesty was fully displayed. It was impossible to tell that he had any serious illness.
The Queen Mother, in a gorgeous red and black brocade dress, is sitting side by side with the emperor. Murong Jinxin is sitting upright beside her, wearing a bun with clouds and a high bun. She is wearing a bright phoenix and peony embroidery flowing cloud dress, with five phoenixes waving towards the sun, and gold and silver shoes.
, the flying swallow green jade heavy bead earrings look dignified and luxurious.
At the bottom, King Zheng was sitting in his seat with a normal expression. Murong Xuan and his adopted son Gong Yichu were sitting at the bottom right. They did not see Murong Yingluo and did not feel anything strange. They still looked calm.
Sitting above them is Lin Yifu, the Prime Minister of Cheng Han, and behind him is her daughter Lin Manxue, who was invited by the Queen Mother to attend King Zheng's birthday banquet.
Si Wuyue saw that everyone had arrived and said, "My dear friends, today is the birthday of King Zheng in his weak crown. I have specially prepared a banquet so that the king and his ministers can enjoy it together."
Si Wushang stood up hurriedly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
The Empress Dowager said lovingly: "The Emperor and Prince Zheng have a deep relationship. Brothers and sisters, the peace and prosperity of the country and the people are a blessing to the country and the country!"
Upon hearing this, the important ministers all knelt down and said, "Long live the emperor! Long live King Zheng!"
"All dear ladies, please get up!" Si Wuyue immediately handed a color to the queen, and Murong Jinxin understood.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say to Prince Zheng!"
"We are all family members, but it doesn't matter?"
Si Wushang hurriedly stood up and said, "If you have anything to say, Madam, just say it."
Murong Jinxin smiled and said, "Today is King Zheng's birthday, but there is only one missing person. Does King Zheng know where Princess Zheng has gone?"
As soon as the queen said this, it attracted the attention of all the court officials. Rumors spread in the capital, but Princess Zheng did not come, so people began to speculate.
Si Wushang just smiled and did not answer. Murong Jinxin continued: "My sister has prepared a gift for Prince Zheng's birthday."
Her bright red lips were raised, and her palms struck each other. For a moment, the beautiful sound of harps and zithers filled the Zhaoqing Hall, but in the sky above the hall, beauties were dancing in the air, their scarves were flying, and where they landed, fragrant flowers were falling.
With her soft and slender waist and graceful and flowing dresses, she looked like a fairy from the Nine Heavens coming to the world, and everyone was amazed.
Yingluo touched the ground with her toes, flew down in the palace, and prostrated herself, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Queen Mother!"
She glanced at Prince Zheng with affectionate eyes and bowed shyly: "I wish you good luck and good health to your Majesty! Longevity and happiness without bounds!"
Prince Zheng's eyes overflowed with love and compassion, and he looked at her with a soft light. He stretched out his hand to help her up, and held her hand in his palm, all without saying a word.
Prince Zheng and the princess were very affectionate, so the rumors were naturally disproven. Lin Manxue felt jealous when she saw how gentle Prince Zheng was to Murong Yingluo, but she still remembered that day when Murong Yingluo kicked her out of Prince Zheng's mansion.
She stood up gracefully and came to the palace, bowed Yingying, "The deep love between King Zheng and Princess Butterfly is enviable. Manxue also prepared music today. I wish King Zheng eternal blessings and longevity!"
The Queen Mother just liked the courage of the women of the Lin family. She vaguely saw herself in the past and echoed: "The daughter of the Lin family has a heart."
In the hall, Lin Manxue sat on the floor, her eyebrows lowered, her slender and graceful fingertips dancing on the strings like flowing water. A beautiful and melodious melody flowed from her ten fingers.
Si Wushang frowned slightly. The name of this song was "Drunk Flower Yin", which was gentle and long, with the infinite tenderness of an infatuated woman until death. Lin Manxue took the opportunity to express her love to Prince Zheng again.
The Queen Mother nodded frequently. She had always liked Lin Manxue, and because her father was a powerful prime minister, the late emperor was worried about the Tu family. Before his death, he united with the Murong family to greatly reduce the power of the Tu family. Otherwise, the Tu family would have no power.
He will not rely on the power of the Lin family.
The look in Si Wushang's eyes became more solemn, and even Murong Yingluo, who was sitting next to him, noticed it. Murong Yingluo's eyes followed the direction of Si Wushang, and she saw the admiring look in the Queen Mother's eyes.
I suddenly felt something bad in my heart. That day the Queen Mother said that she wanted to find a virtuous and virtuous concubine for Prince Zheng. How could she give up so easily? Today Lin Manxue performed for Prince Zheng. She had just mastered the music and could hear it.
Show the deep affection contained in the music.
Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to take this opportunity to grant a marriage? Lin Manxue is arrogant and domineering. If she enters Prince Zheng's palace, she will be restless. She is not allowed to share her husband with others.
Si Wushang looked at Murong Yingluo from the corner of his eyes. Seeing the faint worry in her eyes, she also saw that the Queen Mother was going to grant a marriage, so he looked at her firmly and told her not to worry.
Yingluo, who was originally a little panicked, met his eyes, like a gloomy sky shining with brilliant light. She believed that he had his own way to solve the problem, and she just had to adapt to the situation.
When the sound of the piano stopped, King Zheng's eyebrows were as clear and graceful as autumn water, and he praised: "This music is graceful, graceful, and full of affection. It really expresses my heart. What I admire most in this life is the kind and righteous people who yearn for it."
They are just two people for a lifetime."
Murong Yingluo heard this and looked at him with tender eyes, and said cooperatively: "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!"
Lin Manxue wished she could smash her guqin into powder. Yingying stood up and said: "The prince and princess are so loving, it is really aspirational."
Queen Murong Jinxin on the high platform was a little anxious when she heard this. This Lin Manxue was obviously going for Prince Zheng. The Emperor also knew the Queen Mother's thoughts. He also had his own plans, which he must not let the Queen Mother ruin.
Si Wuyue said before the Queen Mother could speak: "The daughter of the Lin family is smart and smart. Queen, please be careful. Is there any young talent in the court who can be worthy of Miss Lin?"
Murong Jinxin agreed: "Yes! I will definitely take it to heart."
Lin Manxue only liked Prince Zheng and was about to argue. At this time, the Queen Mother coughed and said, now the emperor and queen are helping Prince Zheng. She was very unhappy in her heart, but she wanted to give the Lin family a step down.
"The Ai family also likes the girl from the Lin family very much. It is a great regret in my life that I have never been able to have a daughter. Why don't we have a double happiness today, and the Ai family will recognize the daughter of the Lin family as their daughter."
Lin Manxue was unwilling to give in. Now that the Queen Mother had given her the best chance to step down, Lin Yifu hurriedly got out of his seat, held his daughter in his arms and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness!"
