Chapter 33 Empress Chitose (12)

His voice was crazy and domineering, but Jiang Xinxin fell asleep and couldn't perceive it.But she had a feeling that a pair of eyes were fixed on her as if they were prey. Those eyes were so depressing that she almost couldn't breathe.

The man in black leaned down slowly, and put his pious belief and full love on her lips. In the dark night, he finally let out a soft sigh of satisfaction.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace is peaceful, the lanterns are hung high, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant.

This was the most lively event in the past six years, because the daughters of each adult's mansion were invited by the Queen Mother to attend the banquet.Everyone's heart is like a mirror, this banquet is called appreciating the moon, and it is actually appreciating people.

In the Shengping Hall, there is an aisle in the middle, covered with a red carpet, and the seats for officials and their families are placed on both sides.Led by the palace maid, the officials sat in their seats with their family members. After they were seated, they raised their glasses to the colleagues next to or opposite them, and chatted freely. Some talked about political affairs, some talked about their children...for a while Very lively.

"The emperor is here, and the empress dowager is here." A sharp voice suddenly sounded in this lively atmosphere.The originally lively crowd in the arena fell silent for a moment. They got down from their seats one after another, knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, the empress dowager."

Their eyes were on the ground, occasionally a girl in Huaichun raised her head quietly, but before seeing the shadow, she was pulled by her own mother, and she was too scared to raise her head again.

Lian Jin, who was wearing a bright yellow robe, helped Jiang Xinshen, who was wearing a crimson hibiscus skirt, into the Shengping Hall.When the two of them were seated, Lian Jin said: "Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The courtiers shouted Xie En, then got up and sat back in their seats again.

Jiang Xinshen said with a smile: "You don't have to be cautious, today's Mid-Autumn Festival feast is to enjoy the flowers and the moon with everyone. Don't be too formal, it's a family banquet."

"I would like to respect my mother's edict." The official cupped his hands to Jiang Xinshen.

Soon, the banquet became lively again in the following song and dance performance.

Under Jiang Xinshen's suggestion, many ladies from famous families prepared piano and dance performances.When they were on stage, Jiang Xinxin smiled and said to Lian Jin: "The performances of these ladies are quite different from those of the dancers in the palace. I wonder which performance His Majesty likes more?"

Lian Jin frowned displeasedly, "Nothing."

Seeing that Lian Jin seemed to be in a bad mood, Jiang Xinxin didn't want to do this job as a matchmaker any more, so he could only pick up the teacup in an embarrassing manner, "Don't worry, there are many more, Your Majesty will take your time to see each other."

In the middle of the performance, there was a sudden announcement outside the door: "The fifth prince is here!" Soon, a handsome young man in a crescent white brocade suit walked in outside the door.He has gentle eyebrows, a refined face, and a warm smile that is just right on the corner of his lips.His arrival temporarily stopped the singing and dancing performance, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

The fifth prince, Lian Zhaoye, was already weak. Because he was frail and sickly when he was young, he was sent to Cheng'en Temple to practice cultivation since he was a child.Since Lian Jin ascended the throne, he was named King An and given a mansion.But he basically visits the Buddha in the temple, and he can only be seen at the banquet held by the royal family on weekdays.

The young man in white strolled up to Lian Jin and Jiang Xinshen, and bowed down to them: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, my queen mother."

"King An, please stand up." Lian Jin sat on a high seat and raised his hand, "Little Fuzi, quickly make a seat under me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After thanking him, Lian Zhaoye walked to the seat brought by Xiao Fuzi and sat on it.

"I haven't seen you in a few months. Is Ye'er feeling better?" Jiang Xinxin said with concern.To be honest, she is only 24 years old, and every time she is called Lian Zhaoye like an old mother, it really makes her feel very awkward.Sure enough, seniority is flawed.But she didn't realize that every time she called "Ye'er", Lian Jin's face was very ugly.

"Thanks to the blessing of the queen mother, my son's body has recovered. Master Zhiyuan made my son no longer have to go to Cheng'en Temple to recuperate. When I come back this time, I will directly live in the mansion rewarded by His Majesty."

"Then..." Lian Jin touched the jade pendant hanging around his waist, "How about King An going to the court tomorrow to share my worries?"

"I'm terrified." Lian Zhaoye hurriedly cupped his hands to plead guilty, "I have been living in the temple and don't know anything about the affairs of the court, how can I enter the court to participate in political affairs? Please take back your majesty's order, don't embarrass the minister."

"What does King An mean?"

"Master Zhiyuan told me not to forget to practice even if I am not in the temple. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to allow me to continue to study Buddhism and pass it on to the public." Lian Zhaoye stood up and respectfully begged for orders.

"That will be as you wish." Lian Jin nodded, looked at the singing and dancing again, and ordered him to continue performing, and in an instant, singing and dancing were at peace.Then Lian Jin turned his head again, smiled and said to Lian Zhaoye: "If I remember correctly, Brother Huang has reached the weak crown this year, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Lian Zhaoye sat on his seat and replied softly.

"Brother Huang is a coincidence. The daughters of every family are here for the banquet today. If Brother Huang is interested, please remember to tell me, and I will definitely give you a marriage." Lian Jin raised his wine glass to Lian Zhaoye , and then drank it all in one gulp.

Lian Zhaoye had a drink together, "Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

The banquet is still going on, and the delicacies are being passed on one after another.

"My lord, use it slowly." Yingru placed a golden chrysanthemum in front of Lian Zhaoye.

"Thank you." Lian Zhaoye smiled softly.

Being thanked by such a dignified and elegant prince, Yingru blushed immediately, "This is what a servant girl should do." After she finished speaking in a low voice, she hurriedly backed away, fearing that her daughter would be seen being coquettish.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xinxin immediately felt that Lian Jin was completely useless.Putting Yingru by Lian Jin's side for eight years was not as good as Lian Zhaoye's gentle smile.She tilted her head to look at the girls from various families at the banquet for a while, and then at Lian Jin, who had a calm face, and a faint sadness arose in her heart. Why is it so difficult to find Lian Jin's daughter of destiny?However, seeing that Lian Jin looked down upon no one, she seemed relieved.

The vocal music gradually calmed down, and what disappointed the ladies most was that neither the emperor nor King An liked it.Therefore, the matter of the emperor's draft was shelved. After all, no one wanted their daughter to be messed with by the emperor.

Time flies, four years in a blink of an eye.Various forces have secretly brewed something in the past four years, and the world of Dalian is about to change.But I don't know whether it is to change the dynasty or to eliminate the anti-officials.

 Time flies, the male lead is 20, the female lead is 28, everyone, don't get confused.
