Luo nine needles

Chapter 211

Standing on the gate of the imperial city and looking down, half of the capital is shining brightly.

The seats in the imperial city were almost full, and women's family members continued to go to the imperial city to greet the empress dowager, empress, noble concubines and other concubines in the harem. Pearls were dotted on the palace roads of the imperial city, like a flowing galaxy.

"Captain, look at it." Zhu Chuan pointed in one direction, gnashed his teeth, "Look at the two of them sitting together!"

Huo Lian looked at what he pointed out, Lu Yizhi was just a newcomer to the Imperial Academy, even though he was hand-picked by the emperor, his position in the officialdom was fixed, his seat was at the back of the Imperial Academy, and there was a huge crowd of people, in fact, it was just a matter of looking at him. unclear.

However, compared to other men and women walking around talking and laughing, the two sat quietly and only talked to each other. When someone came over, only the man raised his head to chat and laugh, and the woman lowered her head, as if timid, so Fewer and fewer people came to them, and it was very conspicuous from a high place.

Zhu Chuan's voice came from the side.

"Mr. Xiahou is sick and can't come to the banquet, and Miss Xiahou is sick at home and won't come."

"This Lu Yizhi actually turned around and brought that girl here!"

"It's really amazing, it's really good at taking advantage of loopholes!"

"I saw the post just now, it was written about my sister, heh, my sister."

"Does he think that people in the capital are easy to deceive? Does he think that no one will see if no one comes to talk to him?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the women with the sharpest eyes and the best at spreading news are all here today!"

"I'm sure that the news will reach Miss Xiahou before the banquet is over."

"Well...if it doesn't pass..."

Zhu Chuan hugged his arms and hummed twice.

"Captain, let's help spread the word."

Huo Lian withdrew her gaze from there and glanced at him: "The Xiahou family has nothing to offer us, it's too bad to help them."

Zhu Chuan said, yes, Xiahou actually has no real power, and His Majesty needs to provide these great Confucian scholars as a facade, and there is really nothing to gain from the facade.

"But it can cause trouble for that guy..." Zhu Chuan came back to his senses.

They didn't just want to watch Xiahou's family liven up!
It's about watching that woman's commotion, being dragged by Xiahou's family, how lively it is.

Huo Lian glanced over there again. In the flickering lights, she could vaguely see the man handing a stack of snacks to the woman beside him, as if asking her to taste it. The woman... naturally took it.

As long as there is food in front of her, she will not let it go.

Zhu Chuan could eat up all the snacks used for indoor decoration.

Huo Lian twitched her lips and said, "Since she can come here, she won't be afraid of any trouble." Then she turned around, "I'm going to pick up Your Majesty."

Although they only walked to the gate of the imperial city, there were countless guards and horses, but the guard was still extremely strict, especially Huo Lian, who was by the emperor's side all the time tonight.

Zhu Chuan snorted.

Huo Lian stopped walking and told Zhu Chuan, "Keep an eye on her and don't let her out of sight."

Zhu Chuan immediately responded: "Don't worry, Dudu, I won't do anything tonight, just stare at her."

……

……

Lu Yizhi watched Qixing lower his head to eat the dried fruit, and then looked at the empty teacup in front of her.

"Drink less water." He whispered, "in order not to be inconvenient."

Qixing said, and crunched a dried fruit.

"After the food is served, just watch it, don't really eat it." Lu Yizhi continued, "This lantern feast is for the sake of looking good."

Qixing looked around, then looked at the tall city gate, and said with a smile: "You people are not here to really watch the lanterns, but to make His Majesty look good."

Lu Yizhi looked at her: "Speak less." Then he looked around, "No matter who it is for, not everyone can see such a beautiful scene. Since we have seen it, we should watch it carefully."

Qixing knew that he was thinking too much, and persuaded her not to talk nonsense, so as not to offend Longyan, it's okay for her to lose her life, but it's not good for him to be implicated.

"Don't worry, this world is very beautiful, I haven't seen enough." She said, turning the empty teacup.

At this time, someone came here to say hello.

Lu Yizhi was joking with him, while Qixing lowered his head, feeling prying eyes, which is normal, although no one said anything, but they were very curious about Lu Yizhi bringing his female relatives.

"Is this Miss Lu?"

This time there were also female relatives who came over, and they were all women, let alone avoiding them, so they asked directly, and even stood in front of them to look at them, but Qi Xing lowered his head, because the pearls on his lowered bun were shaking his eyes again, so he couldn't see clearly.

Lu Yizhi didn't say yes or no, he just smiled and said, "I haven't been out before, so I dare not even say anything."

Qixing lowered his head and saluted the woman.

The woman smiled and said, "Go for more walks in the future, Miss Xiahou didn't come this time, otherwise someone would accompany her."

Lu Yizhi smiled, and didn't answer the words, just said: "After seeing this scene, you can go home, it's enough for her to talk at home for a year."

The woman was amused and stopped to ask again.

Although it is inconvenient for the young women to come over, it does not prevent them from looking this way from time to time.

"If you want to see Mr. Lu, watch more." A young lady whispered, "while Ah Qing is away."

The other ladies laughed softly.

"If Ah Qing is here, we can just walk over and have a look."

"I don't know that young lady, and it's not easy to talk to her. Third Young Master Lu has the appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away for fear of scaring her."

"Say it's my sister." Someone suddenly said, "Do you think it looks like it?"

These words made several young ladies look at it, and there was an inexplicable silence for a moment, and the next moment the messy voices sounded again.

"Then how do we know, we can't even see what she looks like."

"What do you mean by that? It's not my sister, what else can it be?"

These words made the voice pause again, and each saw the flicker in their eyes.

"I think..." A lady's hesitant voice sounded, "Where have I seen her before?"

All eyes were on her.

This lady is not low-status, and she is one of the best families in the capital. The occasions she can attend are not just any noble lady in the capital. For example, today's lantern banquet in the imperial city, most people will only attend officials and wives. It will not be brought, lest the children's behavior and words be careless for a while and cause trouble.

"Where can you see it?" Others asked puzzled.

Lu Hanlin's parents were not in the capital, and most of them only went to the banquets of officials, except occasionally Mrs. Xiahou brought them into the inner house to meet the female relatives.

"Miss Xiahou brought this lady to the banquet already?"

"Impossible, why don't I know such a big thing?"

The ladies talked a lot.

The lady's eyes were puzzled: "No, I'm..." The words stopped here, "It's too far away, and I can't see clearly. It's just a feeling. Maybe I misread it. It's unlikely."

It is unlikely that there is a guess. The ladies are curious to ask. At this time, there is the sound of drums in the imperial city, and a team of servants also poured out from the inside. This is the emperor. No matter how curious the identity of the woman is, she can't compare with His Majesty. The ladies who were chatting hurriedly dispersed, and each went back to the elders and sat down.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Everyone saluted and greeted in unison.

Shocking cheers rang out from the Royal Street outside.

"Long live Your Majesty—"

Qixing followed Lu Yizhi and bowed down to salute, then raised his head and looked forward. The emperor stood still surrounded by him. Although there was still some distance, but standing here, coupled with the bright lights of the city gate, he could see the smile on the emperor's face.

It's not like the person who once stood on the Royal Street and could only see a blur of yellow.

It's not like in Xiu Neisi, who can only thank the emperor for his bestowal.

.....
.....
After the emperor arrived, the banquet began, more lanterns were lit, and court musicians and actors danced and danced like a fairyland on earth.

The emperor was very happy, and officials from aristocratic families were continuously invited to face the saint.

In particular, many people who have left their posts and returned home, or who are highly respected, are not in court. This is an opportunity to meet the emperor.

The servants kept shuttling through the banquet, with everyone's envious gazes, their gazes suddenly stopped at the Hanlin Academy.

The officials of the Hanlin Academy were not surprised.

For such a grand feast, His Majesty naturally needs to compose poems and memorize it in detail, which is what they need.

"Whose poetic talent is your Majesty going to test this time?" A principal asked with a smile.

The waiter smiled and named a few names, and Lu Yizhi was the youngest among them.

Although everyone was a little envious, they guessed that Lu Hanlin was a disciple of Mr. Xiahou. The emperor would not forget him even if Mr. Xiahou was away. Lu Hanlin was also an official appointed by the emperor. What's more, Lu Hanlin was still young and good-looking .

Lu Yizhi stood up and responded, followed by everyone's gaze, and several officials followed the servants to the emperor's place.

Standing in the shadow of the lantern opposite, Zhu Chuan didn't look at Lu Hanlin, but only at the woman.

The woman was finally willing to raise her head, and watched Lu Yizhi happily.

"Look at the way she smiles." Zhu Chuan snorted, then turned his head and said to the people around him, "Isn't it because she was called to compose poetry, what does it have to do with her?"

The guard next to him laughed and said, "Of course it has something to do with it. Isn't there a saying that a husband is a noble wife?"

Zhu Chuan pouted: "Return your wife, let's dream, what's the matter with her, she really thought..." He turned his head to look at the woman again, and suddenly slipped his tongue, bumped against his teeth, and let out a painful cry .

His eyes were also rounded.

"What about people?"

Lu Yizhi had already left, the woman was gone, and the seat was empty.
