Chapter 31 Banquet of Ministers and Dance
The fortight forb put the fresh lotus flowers in the vase, which added some fragrance to the room. Lian Jian stood aside respectfully: "Miss, it's time for you to change your clothes. Didn't you promise the emperor to attend the palace banquet tonight?
The thirteenth mother smiled and said, "Isn't the protagonist tonight me? Why is it so grand? Tonight, I can't be too flamboyant and overw the concubines of Murong Haoxuan. Naturally, I can't be shabby, because if I am too shabby, I will humiliate my eldest brother. I think his concubines will wear all kinds of red tonight, but I can't wear red, and naturally I can't. So, let's bring my snow coat!"
Lipsia Yiyan brought her her snow coat and helped her change it. After a closer look, Lian Jian smiled and said, "People are more beautiful than flowers!" Thirteen Niang knew that Lianqi said that she was more beautiful than the lotus flowers she had just picked, just because as soon as she entered the door, she said, "After the rain, the hibiscus is really beautiful!"
"Comb my hair!" Thirteen Niang sat in front of the dresser and looked at the forsythia behind her and said. This time, the jewelry is still a set of jewelry with snow coats. It put on her hair one by one under the skillful hands of the forsythia, and her hair is just right. Only some of it hangs behind her head and carefully curled up at the hair with a bead chain. This time, looking at the thirteenth Niang, it looks even more beautiful.
"Miss is really beautiful in the world!" Lian Jian looked at Thirteen Niang hanging a snow-white gauze scarf behind her ears and said with a smile. Her young lady, as long as she changes her clothes, has a charm, which is really not enough to see.
"Ha ha, if it hadn't been for the name of self-knowledge, I wouldn't have let you praise it like this, I wouldn't have known that the sky would be thick." Thirteen Niang smiled and said, "Forsythia, you should also change into a suit and don't wear this one." After saying that, she went to the box and rummaged for a lake-green gauze, which was also a dress she had never worn before.
"Come on, put this dress on your body." After saying that, he threw his clothes to Forsia.
. This is a pleated skirt. The lake green satin belly pocket is embroidered with blooming flowers, wrapped in yellow silk satin, and covered with flowers and smoke shirts, revealing a beautiful collarbone. On the two round full moon buns, there are silver grit, and tassels hanging on the grate, which makes fort look more cute.
The thirteenth mother looked left and right and smiled, "Well, that's right. Although tonight's banquet is not our protagonist, we can't be too shabby. Only in this way can we show the richness of the eldest brother. After saying that, he helped Lian Jian straighten his clothes and sat down leisurely at the table.
Her clothes tonight can't cover his concubine, but she can't look particularly petty. Anyone who sees such a dress of master and servant will doubt their identity. After all, a maid around her can wear it as much as one of the emperor's concubines and a lady, which shows the wealth of the family, which will not be underestimated or humiliate Chu Jiangping.
Seeing Thirteen Niang sitting there calmly drinking tea, Lian Jian asked, "Isn't you moving?"
Thirteen Niang smiled and said, "You and I have different identities, so Murong Haoxuan will definitely send someone to invite us over this time. Don't worry. If it weren't for Xiaoying's father-in-law, he would definitely be the king of Pingnan. Calm down and wait slowly. I'm not in a hurry. What are you worried about? Do you want to see the king of Pingnan? She said this all with ridiculence and made Lianqi blush.
Forsythia pushed Thirteen: "Miss, you know to make fun of me!" After saying that, she also sat down, because of the reassurance of Thirteen Niang, she also calmed down, and the master and servant chatted with each other.
At dusk, the palace began to light up with little lights, and gradually increased. Thirteen Niang and forsythia still sat there, drinking tea quietly, watching the lights outside the window gradually shine.
The king of Pingnan walked in with a smile. Today, he is wearing a purple embroidered palace suit of beasts. This dress looks like an extrapersonal spirit on his body and makes people more free and easy. He sat down next to Thirteen Niang with a smile, looked at Thirteen Niang carefully, and said in a soft tone, "Yan'er is more beautiful today. I heard that you were also invited to the dinner party, so I came here to have a look and led Miss Yan'er to go there.
Lionsythian smiled at the thirteenth mother, and her eyes were full of admiration. Such a thing could be expected by her young lady.
The thirteenth mother smiled: "That's the honor of the little girl!" Thank you, Prince!" Thirteen Niang seemed to be salute him, but he held her, and the jade fracture fan in his hand touched her skin, with a cool feeling. She pulled back her hand and walked side by side with him. Lianqi followed them and looked at their backs. Suddenly, there was a feeling that such two people were really a good match. If only they could be white-headed together in this life! Thinking of this, she shook her head again. If they were gray-headed, what should her son do?
Murong Haoyu and Thirteen Niang came to the banquet hall, Jingde Hall. When they arrived, the temple was already full of people. Thirteen Niang looked around and looked at the top of Jingde Hall was the red gold Kowloon throne, which was still empty. If there was a queen, she should sit with him on the Kowloon throne and look at the world. There are several small tables next to it, which should be his concubine. At the beginning, it was his brother Prince Ning and Princess Ning. Opposite his brother Murong Haoyu's seat, and Murong Haoyu's position was Thirteenth Niang's seat. Opposite Thirteenth Niang was actually the position of Korean proton, Han Mubai. From there down is the minister ranked by seniority. She also saw her grandfather, an old man with gorgeous hair, and her uncle Yang Yanfeng, who was already in his 40s. They are now high-ranking ministers and highly valued by Murong Haoxuan.
Murong Haoyu led Thirteen Niang to her seat, and Lian Jian followed closely behind her. Because there is no emperor, they don't have to salute. After the thirteenth mother sat down, Mu Bai's warm and soft eyes looked over. The two greeted with their eyebrows across the wide venue in the middle, although it was just a greeting, which made Murong Haoyu jealous for a long time.
Murong Haoyu put his table with the thirteen women's, so that the two people were very close. The thirteen women wanted to hide. At this time, Xiao Yingzi's shout came: "The emperor is coming, the empress dowager is coming, the ladies are coming~~" He pulled his shrill voice, so that he hasn't finished speaking, Murong Haoyu A group of people have stood next to their seats.
All the ministers came out, knelt down on the ground, and shouted, "Hangthou the emperor, long live, the empress dowager, thousands of years, thousands of years, ladies, Jin'an."
Murong Haoxuan waved his sleeves and said with a smile, "All of you love to be flat!" After saying that, he sat down first, and his mother and the concubines also sat down. At this time, the ministers returned to their seats.
Murong Haoxuan's eyes directly turned to Thirteen Niang and saw that Murong Haoyu was particularly close to her, so he was jealous for no reason, but he still smiled: "Let me introduce you, this girl is Chu Jiangping's sister-in-law and my guest. Haoyu, why do you have to be so close to Miss Yaner when you are not in your seat?
Murong Haoyu smiled at Murong Haoxuan: "I'm afraid that Miss Yaner will not be used to such an occasion." One sentence covers everything. Mu Bai opposite also smiled understandingly. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He looked at the thirteen women with deep meaning.
When the Empress Dowager saw the specialness of her two sons for the Thirteenth Niang, the Empress Dowager looked coldly: "Miss Yaner, today was originally our family banquet, but it's hard to say anything when the emperor invited you to the palace, but you have to take off your veil today anyway, otherwise it will be very disrespectful."
"Queen Mother, Miss Yaner has her hardships, so let her take it with you. This is what I agreed." Murong Haoxuan looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile, and one sentence also explained the particularity of Thirteen Niang. The Empress Dowager could only look at her with hatred and expose the matter.
At the beginning, everyone focused on King Ning and Princess Ning, and ignored this episode. Thirteen Niang sat there lazily, holding the jasper cup in her hand and pouring the wine into her stomach. This wine, which she has tried, is non-toxic, so she can drink it with such peace of mind.
Murong Haoyu frowned and looked at her drinking method and snatched the wine pot from her hand: "You're drunk, I'll send you back!"
At this moment, a voice sounded. Although it was not big, it was enough to cover the song and dance in the hall: "Your Majesty, I heard that Miss Yan's piano skills are very good. Why don't you let her play a song to cheer us up!" The speaker is Yang Siyuan.
Thirteen Niang looked at her with a smile, but there was infinite hatred in her eyes: "My music is out of tune, but my dance is still good, otherwise I will dance for everyone!" It's just that I have a small request. I heard that Mu Bai is familiar with the rhythm. I don't know if I can ask you to accompany me? She was drunk and confused, looking at Mu Bai. Mu Bai stood up with a smile: "The girl is so elegant, and Han is willing to accompany her!"
