Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 65

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite. It's my duty to protect the important ministers of my country."

The deep and sweet voice carried a sense of alienation, and Su Yan could hear a hint of disdain keenly.

The emperor's bedtime was interrupted, but the person who came was his younger brother who had gone to the capital, which was unexpected.

"Order a few thoughtful servants to change clothes and bathe for King Changle, and go to this journey." Duan Zhaoling smiled as usual, and Zhao Shi hurriedly responded. Within a day, two of the most powerful men today came Inside the mansion, it's really a small temple and a big Buddha, so be careful in everything.

Some maidservants had already heard the news and rushed over, waiting eagerly outside the garden. A glimpse of Longyan in the daytime was already admirable. I was so fascinated, I couldn't find words to describe it after searching my stomach.

They just looked at each other, and when they heard that the emperor wanted someone to serve them, they all blushed and rushed to get things done first.

Mrs. Zhao hastily called the sisters, Bi'er and Zi'er, but seeing that Changle Wang Meifeng moved without a trace, he arched his arms, and the silver-white armor collided with each other, making a crisp sound. It's the momentum of the battlefield, "Thank you for your kindness, brother, my brother is always rough and informal, and I'm not used to being served by a girl. Since Master Su has delivered it safely, I will not delay my brother's bedtime."

Duan Zhaoling nodded and sighed, "I send fifteen beauties from Beijing to Monan every year, but you returned them to me intact, and you still have the same temperament now! Anyway, I will be in Weiyang three days later. The Grand Palace held a celebration banquet to clean up the dust for you and the accompanying soldiers, but do you still want to reject it?"

She was originally a servant girl who was full of joy, but she was immediately disappointed. Which family of officials and aristocrats would not buy a girl as a servant girl to serve the male master's daily life? ?
Zi'er and Bi'er still looked up unwillingly, and saw that the Changle King didn't even glance at them. He only heard that the lieutenant soldiers would be anxious every time they returned from a triumphant return, but this man looked more than usual. People still have to be tall and strong, it must be because they think their looks are too thin, and they don't want to make up for it...

"In that case, Brother Lao will arrange it." Duan Zhaoye responded readily, and all the generals saluted together, and then left in a hurry without staying for a moment.

Mrs. Zhao and others tactfully withdrew, Su Yan looked at Su Fu's bed for a while, now there is a difference between the monarch and his subjects, she is not allowed to stay longer, and she will go back to the room to serve the bed next night.

Pushing open the door, I saw Duan Zhaoling sitting at the table with all his clothes on, the candlelight covering his side face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Hearing the sound, he slowly took off the jade hairpin, and resumed his calm tone, "Your father is fine, and the emperor returned to Beijing on time. It can be said that good things come in pairs. I am really happy."

joy?How can he be happy in the face of such a young brother who is a dragon and a phoenix among people?

Su Yan walked over and put her arms around his neck, but those hawk-like eyes suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, making her shake her body, "Yan'er is also very happy, with Duan Lang around, I am not afraid of anything..."

The day Su Yan returned to the palace was also the time for Weiyang's palace banquet.

As soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw that delicate figure waiting in the courtyard, which contrasted with the flowers on the pergola, which was truly clean.

"Sister Lin, it's not easy to give birth! It's time for Yan'er to visit you." Su Yan carefully took her arm, Lin Qingqing's gentle expression contained a little bit of sadness, and she replied with a smile, " I always stay alone in the palace, and I feel so bored, so I come out for a walk. When you are not around, I will go to Zhao Xiuyi and Concubine Shu's palace more often."

Su Yan knew in her heart that since Lin Qingqing was pregnant, Duan Zhaoling hadn't been accompanied by a special room. Although she was given a title, how could she compare to the warmth of being accompanied by her pillow?
Everyone knows that the emperor went out of the palace to spend a good night with her in the Su residence. They are both sisters, but His Majesty would rather not travel far to find Su Yan than accompany Lin Qingqing who is close by. I must feel bad...

"Actually, His Majesty's departure from the palace was not for me. Sister, do you know that King Changle's soldiers and horses arrived in Beijing three days ago, on the night His Majesty left the palace..."

Lin Qingqing's expression softened a lot when he heard the words, and he said, "I almost forgot, I came to go to Weiyang Palace with you, and today I specially hosted a banquet for him. There have been several rumors of various kinds, which really make people look forward to it.”

Su Yan took a bath in a hurry, picked out a flower-blue dress with a chest wrapped around her chest, and simply tied her hair in a bun, before rushing to Weiyang Palace.

"Recently, don't go to Yongfu Palace..." Lin Qingqing whispered in her ear, Su Yan asked after a pause, "But something happened to Yao Jieyu?"

Lin Qingqing nodded cryptically, and said, "Ms. Yao's fetal position is unstable, and the midwife went back and forth several times, but His Majesty only ordered her to go on, and she didn't even go to visit her. Now it's almost full term, and everyone is far away from her." , I'm afraid that something will happen to the fetus, and disaster will be imminent."

If it were in the past, Su Yan would naturally be very happy, but since she knew her feelings for Ning Wenyuan, she couldn't hate her any more... I think that Yao family has been spoiled for more than ten years, holding it like a pearl in the palm of his hand, Although he is arrogant, he doesn't necessarily have a vicious heart. He was very popular at the beginning, but he is just a poor person after all...

"Is there any movement from Concubine Yi? Sister, you must be careful, it may be bad for your fetus." Su Yan changed the subject, Lin Qingqing said casually, "I remember what you said, it seems that the queen mother's birthday is coming soon, she has calmed down a lot , did not attack me..."

Su Yan was thoughtful, and Lin Qingqing added, "I just remembered something, but it's really not a big deal. A few days ago, Xie Baolin came to the door to apologize, saying that he was fooled by Islam and did such a disgraceful thing." When it happened, I brought a lot of tonics, I saw that she was sincerely remorseful, so I forgave her, it's a matter of personal preference, I just hope that she will be more peaceful in the future, so we can get along with each other."

Su Yan responded in a half-heard way, and only said don't be careless, and don't use any tonic she brought, Lin Qingqing replied with a smile, "I understand this, she brought a lot of gifts, I don't want to teach people to leave empty-handed, Let her choose whatever she likes to take back, Yan'er, guess what she values?"

"Sister, tell me quickly." Su Yan said angrily, and Lin Qingqing held her little hand, "Don't say that you are not good at embroidery in the future, she has been looking at it for a long time, and only begged for the picture of birds and phoenixes that you embroidered to give me. At first I was reluctant, but seeing how pitiful she was, I agreed, Yan'er, don't blame me."

Su Yan laughed it off, "If she can get her to repent, my crude embroidery is nothing to worry about."

The two chatted and laughed, and then arrived at the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

Among the carved beams and painted pillars, there is a hole in the sky. In the gurgling stream, there are mahogany tables and tables scattered on the floor. The clear glazed jade bottles follow the water column and flow down to the emerald jade plate downstream. The maid scoops it with a water ladle, and the green water Surrounded by green mountains, it is indescribably freehand and romantic. This banquet of flowing water is really the highest scale of royal banquets.

The concubines and concubines sat down one by one, colorful, with a hundred flowers competing for beauty, competing with the grass everywhere.

Because it is an orthodox family banquet, the seating order is clearly defined and the seating arrangement is strictly followed.

The upper seat is the seat of the emperor and the empress dowager, and the row on the west side is the family members of the royal family, Wu Fanhou, the king of Dongling and other family members, as well as the Ma Pan family of Tongjun, the master of Qinghe County, who also came from the fief to attend the banquet on time.The one sitting at the bottom was Duan Chu, the youngest princess of the Duan family, titled Jing Wan, who just turned 14 this year, and went to Beijing from Daliang County together with Xi Bohou.

Most of the people at the banquet were familiar with Su Yan, and they used to have banquets often, but now they have different identities, since they became kings, they rarely interacted with each other.

Talking and laughing at Yan Yanjian, birds singing and springs singing and ding-dong are pleasant to the ears, the atmosphere has a touch of peace, looking at it, it is really harmonious.

Hearing the crisp sound of gold-threaded jade shoes, all the princes and princesses raised their heads and followed the prestige. The magnolia flowers fell in the wind, and patches of pink and white were falling on the girl's hair bun. She was dressed in a clean green color, and came from behind the rocks. Appeared slowly.

There was still an unfinished smile in the corner of her mouth, and she was talking softly with the woman next to her, looking back again, the charm was infinite in an instant, the charming and coquettish between her frowns and smiles could not be concealed, but she was not kitsch. Gorgeous and unapproachable.

Princess Qinghe has always been straightforward, and she praised it unabashedly, "You have a pretty smile and beautiful eyes, it turns out that there is such a peerless beauty in the world."

The king of Dongling and other male relatives couldn't help looking at him a few more times, and they chatted happily again, but there were always some eyes cast on Su Yan from all sides.

The banquet is divided into east and west sides, separated by flowing water in the middle, and the east side is the position of the concubine.

Su Yan was sitting between Zhao Xiuyi and Lin Qingqing, she poked her head, but Yao Jieyu did not arrive.

Concubine Shu is dignified and decent, she sits quietly and does not speak, Concubine Yi has flirtatious eyebrows and eyes, and has always been friends with these people, so she exchanged pleasantries a few times.

Su Yan didn't intend to show any limelight in such a situation, so she fiddled with her cuffs, waiting for the emperor and queen mother to show up.

"The one with thick eyebrows and wide mouth is the King of Changle?" Lin Qingqing asked in a low voice, Su Yan shook her head, "He hasn't arrived yet."

Just as Lin Qingqing was about to ask, she saw the waiter singing sharply, "Empress Dowager Jiang and King Changle have arrived—"

Dozens of pairs of pupils raised their eyes, all staring at the entrance.

The purple phoenix robe is elegant and luxurious, and the skirt is opened into the shape of a peony. Empress Dowager Jiang, wearing a gold and silver phoenix crown, walked slowly and solemnly.

I don't know which servant accidentally knocked down the bronze wine bottle, and saw that the wine bottle was about to roll down in front of the Empress Dowager, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, but saw a flash of silver light, the servant girl let out a soft cry, and in an instant, the bronze wine bottle It fell firmly into the hand again.

Looking up again, the man in front of him leaned forward, brushed off his sleeves casually, and the lines of his profile drew a dazzling arc in the sunlight.

He respectfully opened the way for Empress Dowager Jiang, his tense face softened for a moment, "Mother, please come here."

"My son, come and sit with me." Empress Dowager Jiang smiled faintly on her cheeks, showing she was very happy.

Except for Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi, everyone in the room was stunned. They wore silver robes without a trace of variegation, only the belt and collar were dark black, which set off a very masculine face with handsome features. , a little deep, eyebrows peaked into the temples, thin lips pursed lines, extraordinary fortitude.

After everything was silent, there were whispers, the servants regretted that they believed the rumors, but they didn't know that King Changle was such a character.The concubine also secretly speculated in her heart that such a general is really worthy of such a talented person.

In such an atmosphere, Duan Zhaoling came slowly.

Empress Dowager Jiang threw the longevity stone first, and then started the banquet.In the beginning, they were all polite words of praise, and the princes and princesses presented gifts to each other in a harmonious and harmonious way.

The delicacies are presented one after another, and a gluttonous feast is only the beginning.

After Xifan's orchid and sword dance, actors from Nanjun played and sang, threw pots and jade, and talked about poetry and wine with various tricks.

"How is Brother Ye in Monan? I haven't seen Jing Wan for a long time, and I miss you very much." While dancing in neon clothes, Princess Jing Wan slipped to Duan Zhaoye's side.

Duan Zhaoye was taken aback for a moment, and then moved a little distance away, "Little Jingwan has grown into a big girl now."

Princess Jing Wan smiled sweetly, "Brother Ke Ye is still so young, his face hasn't changed at all."

Infected by her childish words, Duan Zhaoye raised a smile, "I am 12 years older than you, and the years are like knives, urging people to grow old. How can it not change? You are the right age for Fanghua."

Jing Wan bent her eyebrows and turned her head, pointing at Su Yan, "Brother Ye, please comment. Compared with her, who is better-looking?"

Su Yan happened to raise her head and met Duan Zhaoye's indifferent eyes, she raised her glass and took a sip generously to show her courtesy.

The beauty of that smile was like spring flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains. Jing Wan was caught in that smile and had lost confidence. She had been the most beautiful woman in the Duan family since she was a child, she was proud of her beauty, and ordinary makeup was never taken seriously.

Duan Zhaoye turned his head uncomfortably, coughed lightly and said, "In my brother's eyes, Jing Wan is the most beautiful little princess."

After eating, Princess Qinghe started to make poetry riddles. After a few rounds, King Dongling and Princess Jingwan were the ones who punished the most.

Su Yan only felt that the feast was hard to come by, and her interest was fading, so she heard Duan Zhaoye say in a deep voice, "Brother Emperor, I brought a rare item from southern Xinjiang, just for my mother and all the brothers and sisters to have a look at it."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and Zhou Bei presented a copper plate. The top cover was removed, but there was a square and exquisite utensil in it.

"This is the Nine Dragons Xuanzhu Pagoda made by Miaojiang people. There are dragon balls guarding all directions. Turning the direction of the ball will activate the mechanism in it. If you can spell this formation, the pagoda will open spontaneously, and there will be heaven and earth inside."

There are many new playthings in the palace, but I have never seen this one before. Duan Zhaoling studied the patterns on the pagoda for a while, but he still turned the wrong bead and failed to open it.

Immediately afterwards, Empress Dowager Jiang, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yi and others all failed. When Lin Qingqing stepped forward, Duan Zhaoye's eyes were suddenly suffocated, and he forgot to let go.

That face suddenly seemed to be in a dream.

He came back to his senses, and became calm again, but his eyes followed her face again and again.

"I'm still clumsy, Yan'er, give it a try."

Su Yan stared at the dark pattern on Nata's body, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she just felt that the pattern was very familiar, and after thinking about it, she suddenly realized.

This is exactly the same as the pattern left by Qing Min!
When she raised her beautiful eyes, Duan Zhaoye returned the same gaze.

Su Yan chuckled, picked up a dragon ball and pushed it to the right, then grind it upwards again.

There was a creaking sound, but seeing that the pagoda on the plate was moving slowly, everyone watched carefully.

When the second dragon ball returned, Su Yan straight up uprooted the third one, and immediately the pagoda shattered, and a crystal clear Avalokitesvara lotus slowly emerged from the shards.

"If you can't let go of the most important thing, you can't get the most important thing. The concubine is making a fool of herself." Su Yan bowed curtly, Duan Zhaoling was overjoyed, and hurriedly took her hand, led her to the Queen Mother, and praised, "Yan You're smart, and you really have a beautiful heart."

Duan Zhaoye stepped forward and held it up, "This Tianshan snow lotus is dedicated to the queen mother. May the phoenix body be in good health and always be like a high mountain."

He bowed again, "Madam Linglong, very untouchable."
