Genius Demon Empress

The country of Shang is small, but only a dozen or so cities. As the only daughter under the knees of the king of Shang, the birthday of the eldest princess is naturally a major event for the whole country to celebrate.

For this reason, Fa Xiaoyun, the king of the Shang Kingdom, specially ordered people to set up a porridge shed outside the Xiaoshang Palace, and gave porridge free of charge for ten days.

On the day of the eldest princess's birthday, there was another family banquet in the palace, more than a hundred people were invited, and those who entered the inner palace were all relatives of the emperor.

After Lierou got the Queen Mother's order, she thought about it for a few days at home, and felt that she had to take advantage of the palace banquet to find out what her daughter was thinking.

From the day before the banquet, she instructed Yue Jinghua on the etiquette of entering the palace, and prepared the gauze hat, skirt and some jewelry that Yue Jinghua must have every time he enters the palace.

The face has already grown like that, and it will only be more conspicuous if you cover it up. No matter how you dress up, it will just be reduced to a foil for her. Yue Jinghua simply dressed up as usual, neither powdered nor carefully dressed, She just wore a simple armor dress, pulled her long hair casually on her head, adorned it with a cat's eye yellow jade hairpin, and entered the palace.

Lie Rou only knew that Yue Jinghua was willing to go to the banquet, so she was already Amitabha, and she didn't dare to force her daughter, so she just straightened up Yue Chen's clothes, and the four of them went into the palace together.

Outside the Xiaoshang Palace, there were many palace buildings, and there was a long queue of people serving porridge and waiting for porridge. When they met a group of nobles, the common people stood on tiptoe and rushed to watch.

The carriage of Lie Rou's four masters and servants was mixed with the family's motorcade of tall horses with fluttering pennants, which looked very inconspicuous.

The carriage stopped, and the ladies of various families wore dazzling five-colored pomegranate skirts and jingling jewelry, dazzled everyone's eyes.

Miss Lie Sisi is here. Hearing the most beautiful woman in the city, Lie Sisi's carriage arrived, and she was dressed in a magnolia-colored gauze dress with cotton-red brocade flowers embroidered on it, which was both elegant and elegant. , yet festive. The beautiful appearance and the friendly smile on the mouth have attracted people's praise.

As soon as Lie Sisi got out of the car, several female students from the inner court who were also in Xuanji Academy surrounded her, and the group entered the inner palace like peacocks.

Yue Jinghua secretly smiled, before entering the palace, she smelled hypocrisy and power.

This palace banquet, to put it bluntly, is just a place for various families to show off their power.

Today's family banquet was held in Qionghua Garden in the atrium of Xiaoshang Palace.

Qiong Garden is the royal garden, the interior design is like a rockery bonsai, from low to high. In autumn, all kinds of spiritual flowers are rushing to fight for the last trace of autumn scenery before the cold winter. The pink ones, the colorful ones, and the elegant ones are in full bloom.

The king of the Shang Kingdom, Fa Xiaoyun, went from the empress dowager to the concubine, and then to the prince and minister, and the order of relatives went down one by one. The legal family is thin, and now there are only two bloodlines of the late emperor, the monarch Fa Xiaoyun and the prince Fa Xiaoyi.

Just as the master and servant of the Lie family entered, Lierou was called over by the Queen Mother.

Hong Ling also followed, Yue Jinghua took Yuechen, and now walked around Qionghuayuan, but did not find the smell of golden silkworms.

Since it took some time to find the golden silkworm, when Yue Jinghua entered, the Qionghua Garden was already full of guests. And Lie Sisi came here on behalf of Liejiabao, and she also dressed up carefully today, she was unwilling to sit in an inconspicuous position easily, so she stood at the intersection, hesitating.

The few empty tables and chairs in the garden were either very close to the throne, or a thousand miles away from the throne.

Yue Jinghua entered the palace today, she made it clear that she was drunk and didn't want to drink, she wanted to find the most inconspicuous place to sit, ready to sneak away at any time, but she didn't know that as soon as she entered, she was with Lie Sisi and her daughter Partners collided.

For a moment, the four of them stood in the corridor of Qionghua Garden, unable to get up or down.

A eunuch with a high-pitched voice led from the front: Miss Liejiabao, please go this way.

There was an empty table in the direction the eunuch pointed.

I saw a person sitting there with black hair and a jade crown, wearing a crescent-white dark robe, with light golden cloud patterns tattooed on the robe, which made his already dusty face even more noble.

The prince of Xiaoyi, Fa Xiaoyi, still had a cold face. He passed through the crowd and was the first to see Lisisi dressed like a hibiscus out of water. No matter what the occasion, she always wins the most people. eyeball. Such a woman deserves to stand by her side.

When he looked at Yue Jinghua again, he frowned.

Not seen in January, Yue Jinghua is a little different again. Her fair skin was tanned to a healthy wheat color, and the leather armor on her body was different from that of ordinary ladies, making her figure even more graceful.

Thinking of the gossip that had reached his ears a few days ago, Fa Xiao frowned with his handsome brows, and slammed down the wine glass in his hand.

As soon as the eunuch opened his mouth, he realized that there were two groups of people standing in front of him. He couldn't help but blushed. Even more nervous, stuttering.

At this moment, the sisters of Liejiabao stood together, which was very eye-catching.

Sensing Fa Xiaoyi's unkind gaze, Yue Jinghua groaned in his heart.

No matter how much Yue Jinghua loved Fa Xiaoyi back then, the current Yue Jinghua has no affection for that cold-faced prince. Facing him, Yue Jinghua felt very uncomfortable whether it was viewing flowers or eating.

Out of sight is quiet, and was about to pull Yuechen to the other side, when a few broken words came to his ears.

Yue Jinghua is really shameless, and she doesn't care about her status. Being able to attend today's palace banquet is already a great gift.

Look at her attire, it's nondescript, it's possible that the Yue family has become so dilapidated that they can't even afford a decent dress.

Let's just say, this palace banquet is also divided into grades. I don't even look at it. Since she dared to sit at King Xiaoyi's table, she is not afraid of shaking everyone's eyes.

Sit...over there, Yue Jinghua's hand was gently shaken, Xiaozheng and Tai Yuechen looked at the table beside Fa Xiaoyi.

It was the first time for Yuechen to enter Xiaoshang Palace, and when he saw all kinds of precious flowers outside the palace, his eyes flashed with joy. Behind Pianfa Xiaoyi, there was a pot of spiritual quality Xueqionghua.

Yue Jinghua smiled slightly, patted Xiao Zhengtai's head lovingly, Yes.

Seeing Yue Jinghua froze, Li Sisi and the female companion who accompanied her smiled lightly and were about to move forward.

Thank you, father-in-law, for leading the way, Yue Jinghua took a step forward, just blocking the steps of Li Sisi and her female companion.

Yue Jinghua, you are worthy to sit there? Naturally, Sisi sits at the table next to Lord Fa Wang. What is your identity, and what is her identity? Lie Sisi's female companion raised her voice, evoking Several curious eyes came from the side.

Most of the people invited to the palace banquet this time met these points. They were born in a family of the Shang Dynasty, and most of them were the second-generation successors of the family.

He (she) may come as one person, but they are often labeled with countless labels on one person, one is a young and promising profound practitioner, the other is the second-generation heir of a family, or other things.

But Yue Jinghua is an outlier among them. Her family is dilapidated and she is a penniless trash. In the eyes of these so-called business elites, a person like Yue Jinghua is only worthy of staying in a corner and eating a dog. Wowotou refused to talk about it.

What is my identity, and what is her identity? That's a good question, Yue Jinghua pointed at her own face, then pointed at Lie Sisi, with a strong mockery in her eyes .

My first identity is the daughter of the current empress dowager's adoptive daughter; my second identity is the future princess of Prince Fa Xiaoyi; my third identity is the eldest granddaughter of Liejiabao; Ji Academy has defeated a bunch of useless elite students. These four identities combined, I don’t know if it is enough to sit in that position?”

These few times, she spoke in a cadence, like pearls and jades falling to the ground, and the hundreds of people present could hear them clearly.

Li Sisi immediately changed her face, and looked at Fa Xiaoyi sadly.

Fa Xiao was still a bit astonished. He and Yue Jinghua had met several times at palace banquets. Every time, she hid in the most inconspicuous corner, watching him secretly. Why? When he was like today, he was so eloquent that he beat others down. Her plain attire today, on the contrary, gave her a bit of edge that could not be ignored.

No, Fa Xiaoyi immediately denied in his heart that Lie Sisi was the future heir of Liejiabao, and her appearance and cultivation were more suitable for him.

It's just...Fa Xiaoyi couldn't help looking at Yue Jinghua, she was looking over, with a hint of ridicule in her clear eyes, as if she had already guessed how he would choose.

The concubine is married, said the concubine of Shang, who was Fa Xiaoyi's mother, the concubine Fei Se.

Yue Jinghua's eyes lighted up, Fa Xiaoyi's good looks were inherited from this famous concubine.

The Crimson Concubine looked at least twenty years old, with a snowy complexion, a purple gold silk palace dress, a slender waist, a pair of beautiful eyes slightly raised, and a faint smile on her lips.

Sisi, you are here. Bengong wants to discuss some alchemy issues with you. The snow skin pills you gave me earlier are very useful. You can sit down next to me. It's also close, Princess Crimson said, not only was she beautiful, but her voice was as mellow as a yellow warbler. It's no wonder that the ignorant Second Prince mistakenly called her sister.

Concubine Scarlet came up, pulling Lie Sisi to go forward, completely ignoring Yue Jinghua.

After hearing this, Fa Xiaoyi also knew that his mother and concubine were reminding him that Lie Sisi was his good match.

What happened to him, since when did he want to worry about Yue Jinghua's thoughts.

Fa Xiaoyi kept silent, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip.

Concubine Scarlet has always disliked Yue Jinghua, firstly she dislikes her for being ugly, secondly, the rumors outside have repeatedly smeared Yue Jinghua.

Li Sisi immediately beamed with joy, and walked to the table near Fa Xiaoyi with her female companion. Before leaving, she did not forget to bow slightly to Yue Jinghua, and said calmly: Jinghua Cousin, my little sister has overstepped.

Lie Sisi walked over, sat down, and stared at Yue Jinghua proudly.

The empress dowager is here, there was another sound, and the empress dowager came over Shi Shiran, accompanied by Lie Rou.

A few days ago, the story of the Eldest Princess calling Concubine Crimson Sister and the Empress Dowager Grandma had already been spread by interested people.

For today's palace banquet, the Crimson Concubine even carefully adjusted her makeup, but as soon as the Queen Mother came out, all the family members next to each other congratulated each other with joy.

Not seeing each other for a few days, the Empress Dowager's face seemed to be ten years younger, a bit like when she first entered the palace. I saw that her hair was dyed like ink, and there was not a single trace of creases on her face. Coupled with the grace and demeanor of her mother, her aura was unexpectedly comparable to that of the Scarlet Concubine.

Jinghua, I haven't seen you for a long time, let Ai's family take a good look. Don't stand still, just sit with Xiaoyi. You have already been engaged, and you are considered a family regardless of your status. Why bother to share the table? And sitting, sitting together, it’s easy to have a heart-to-heart conversation, the queen mother glanced at Lie Sisi, who was shaking hands with the concubine, and cursed secretly in her heart: A Hu Meizi is a Hu Meizi. I also want to intervene in the marriage you want, but I am not as good as you wish.

Li Sisi's complexion changed when she heard it.

When Xiaozheng Tai Yuechen heard that he was going to sit separately from Yue Jinghua, his little face wrinkled into a ball, almost turning into a steamed stuffed bun.

Hong Ling hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded Yuechen to get off.

Yue Jinghua cursed inwardly, the old lady is really messed up. Sitting next to Fa Xiaoyi, how can she get away and go find the golden worm?

Thinking about how to get away, Yue Jinghua reluctantly walked to Fa Xiaoyi's table.

When he came to Lie Sisi's table, a foot stuck out from under the table, and looking at Lie Sisi again, he saw a smile on her face, but a look of jealousy shone in her eyes.

The moon is frightening and the evil light is shining one after another, wanting to cast shadows on me, in my next life.
