Chapter 512 Fighting side by side
After renovation, Chengqian Palace has become new, which is more magnificent and magnificent than when Duanmuqing was in power. There are bodyguards with long guns standing on both sides. Most of these guards are the children of officials, but these officials are basically not very favored in most families. They have been excavated and promoted by Duanmu Lingyu over the years, so they have the heart that they can throw their heads and shed blood on him. They are not loyal to the emperor, not Yuhan, but Duanmu Lingyu, who is just him. It can be said that even if Duanmu Lingyu wants to destroy Yuhan with his own hands one day, these people will follow orders. This is Duanmu Lingyu's strong reliance.
Seeing Duanmu Lingyu and Mu Qingya coming hand in hand, the guards were surprised, but their faces did not show anything. They respectfully saluted Duanmu Lingyu: "See you, long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor."
"Hangtray, long live my emperor, long live."
The loud call continued from Chengqian Palace to Chengqian Palace, which made the officials who had been waiting in the hall kneel to the ground, and their hearts were full of shock. The emperor's men are really extraordinary.
After the cultivation of Duanmu Lingyu, those children who were not valued have long been the most eye-catching existence, but now no matter how much they regret it, it won't help.
Mu Qingya walked forward with Duanmu Lingyu's footsteps. Her eyes were very calm, but her heart was very turbulent. This feeling was even stronger than when she entered Yuhan that day. Duanmu Lingyu was really a good emperor.
I don't know why, at this moment, she actually remembered the mother's words. The mother said, "One day Qingya will meet a beloved man who is willing to pick up needle and thread for him. At that time, the mother's little princess will understand..." Maybe now she should understand that she still has her kiss in Feiyu Pavilion. The embroidered wedding dress and a set of men's clothes were naturally prepared for Duanmu Lingyu. Speaking of which, it is really a kind of happiness to wash hands and wear needle clothes for her beloved. After all, Qingya understood that she would definitely try her best to maintain this happiness.
A sincere smile floated on his lips, Mu Qingya smiled slightly, and the depression in his heart completely disappeared. Duanmu Lingyu felt her sudden happy mood and was a little puzzled, but she was also happy when she knew that she was happy and held her hand tightly: "Qingya, you are about to enter our battlefield. Are you afraid?"
Mu Qingya raised her eyebrows, and a dazzling light flashed between her delicate eyebrows: "What's so terrible about Qingya?"
"Haha, yes, I also want to know what is worth fearing in this world!"
In the former palace, when the officials kneeling heard the sudden laughter from Duanmu Lingyu, they were very curious, but they were secretly relieved. Recently, because of Mu Qingya's sealing and the abolition of the draft, there was a lot of trouble outside the palace. Naturally, the emperor was in a bad mood, and a large number of officials followed him were unlucky. Now he Every time they spend a copper coin, they have to think about whether they will be seen by the emperor's secret guards, and then use this to trace their family's property, and then find evidence of their embezzlement and bribery, but they are frightened and only hope that this storm will pass earlier.
"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live the emperor."
When they finished salute and stood up, everyone's hearts suddenly thumped and sighed secretly. It seemed that there was still time to wait for the storm to end. The emperor personally brought Mu Qingya to the court, and it was impossible for him to give up his plan easily.
Duanmu Lingyu stepped on the steps before the throne step by step, holding Mu Qingya's hand and never relaxed. As the emperor's confidant, Wu Ping had already placed a slightly smaller seat next to the throne. Mu Qingya followed Duanmu Lingyu to the throne, looked at the chair placed aside, smiled slightly, then turned around and sat up gracefully.
The important minister who got up has already been dumbfounded. The chair next to the throne is like a silver needle inserted into their eyes. The chair is only about a quarter smaller than the throne. The whole is made of red gold. The back of the chair is carved with a flying phoenix pattern, which echoes the emperor's golden dragon throne beside them. And a bright yellow cushion is also placed on the chair, which looks particularly suitable for dragons and phoenixes.
Everyone couldn't help focusing their eyes on Mu Qingya sitting on the Phoenix throne, and their hearts became more and more shocked and uncertain. At the age of 16, it is the best time for a woman to change from immature to mature. Mu Qingya is like a flower that brings together all the colors and beauty, making people dare not look up directly. What surprised everyone more was her temperament. Logically, she has been far away for four years and has certainly not been taught. Although she is not rude, she should not be so outstanding. Her noble temperament and elegant manners are natural. In terms of temperament alone, the whole jade I'm afraid Han can't find a second one. She is completely qualified for the throne.
The officials unconsciously focused their eyes on Mu Yizhi and couldn't help doubting whether this cold-faced judge could raise such an elegant girl?
"What, I'm very strange. Have you all become mute today?"
The officials hurriedly saluted: "I wish the emperor a long life, long live, long live, long live."
Danmu Lingyu raised the corners of his lips and said without any emotion, "Well, your congratulations are accepted. Please take your seats."
Because it was the emperor's birthday banquet, tables had been prepared on both sides of the central avenue of the palace, with some simple drinks and food on it. When the officials were seated, exquisite dishes were on the table one after another. However, everyone was not interested in eating at all, but Duanmu Lingyu didn't care about their eyes. After Wu Ping and Leqi brought the carefully prepared dishes, he carefully picked them in front of Mu Qingya: "Qingya, you should have a good taste."
Mu Qingya nodded with a smile, with a little warmth in her eyes. She picked up the silver chopsticks and put them into her mouth: "It tastes very good."
"Eat more if you like."
In front of His Highness, they basically couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but they could understand the movements of the two. They secretly thought that the rumors were true. The emperor really loved Mu Qingya as his eyes. As an emperor, he has always enjoyed the service of others. How can he take care of others? People, but their emperor did it...
From the moment Duanmu Lingyu entered the palace, the woman sitting below could no longer move her eyes. He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and had a handsome face. Just standing there like Qiongzhi Yushu. Most importantly, such a god-like figure is still jade. The cold emperor is their patron saint, and no one like this is unmoved.
The eyes focused on Duanmu Lingyu are as warm as the hatred that falls on Mu Qingya, but they dare not act rashly and only faintly wait for the best time.
Mu Qingya naturally noticed their expressions and faintly focused on the woman sitting next to Duanmu Mingli's position. She couldn't help looking over and was a little surprised at a glance. There is a woman sitting over there, who is beautiful, arrogant and eye-catching. The most important thing is that her eyebrows are three points similar to herself. Who is she?
Danmu Lingyu approached her slightly: "Qingya saw that girl?"
"Well, which daughter is she?"
"Her name is Shen Ningshuang, and she has something to do with you. Your mother also has a sister named Qin Jing, but she didn't have much contact with the Qin family after marriage. She didn't expect that her husband would gradually become a first-class member in the court, and her identity naturally became more valuable."
A trace of understanding flashed in Mu Qingya's eyes: "She is Shen Li's daughter." I have heard Le Qi say that she also has a cousin. She didn't expect to meet her on such an occasion again. Speaking of which, this Shen Liguo is really legendary. The speed of promotion is comparable to that of Mu Yizhi. When Qin Jing married him, he was just a magistrate. Later, he slowly approached Yuhan by relying on the relationship of the Qin family. When the Qin family fell, the center of power not only did not receive any involvement, but also went straight up and achieved the position of Prime Minister Zuo in one fell swoop.
Duanmu Lingyu slightly raised the corners of his lips and said coldly, "Although Shen Li doesn't have much talent, it is a very easy-to-use knife. There is no one behind him. The only thing he can rely on is me, so as long as I have an order, he must do the ban."
Mu Qingya is clear that such a person is extremely needed in the court, and he must be in a high position, because only in this way, when the emperor needs people to take the lead in supporting, he must be the first to stand up, but I don't know if he has expressed support for the emperor to abolish the draft this time?
At the beginning of the banquet, people naturally did not dare to poke the emperor's door as soon as they came up. First, they respectfully presented the birthday gifts prepared. After the birthday gifts, it was a variety of talent performances according to the usual practice. There were specially prepared dance performances in the palace, and there were also many young ladies who wanted to compete for the attention of the emperor. However, today, after they finished their birthday gifts, they took the lead in standing up and actually Shen Ningshuang, the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo.
Everyone was immediately excited. They were worried that no one would take the lead. They didn't expect that the first person to stand out was to follow Prime Minister Zuo for the emperor's order, so they looked at Shen Li with admiration.
In the quiet hall, only Shen Ningshuang's cold voice was heard: "I heard that Princess Mu is both talented and wants to ask the princess to teach her piano skills. I don't know if the princess is willing to appreciate it?"
