Chen Palace

Chapter 30 The Night Banquet
The girl was leaning against the window, her whole body was covered with crystal brilliance like snow jade, and there was a touch of emerald green in her ebony hair, she looked like a heavenly being.

Looking at the morning dew with her eyes closed, Mei Guipin felt dazzled and faintly jealous.

Surprises filled her face: "It turns out that my sister's body has recovered!"

Chen Lu turned her head, saw that it was her, and was about to stand up, Mei Guipin hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Sister, be careful!"

The two sat down as guests and hosts, and the palace people brought seasonal pastries, four dishes and eight colors, all given by the Qianqing Palace.

Concubine Mei Gui looked at this exquisite palace point, which she had never seen before, and her heart became even more sour, Chen Lu asked her to use it first, but she just said that she had had breakfast and really couldn't eat any more.

Chen Lu watched her pick up the tea and sip it lightly, it looked very ripe, her manner was elegant, but she didn't touch it—this is the way of a woman in the palace: she never really eats outside things.

She thought of the innocent girl who ate with gusto at the queen's banquet at the beginning, and couldn't help but sigh——

In this palace, like deep ink, who can't be stained black by it?

"Seeing that my sister is in good health today, I am relieved - my sister has saved face for me, and I feel so proud of my sister!"

She is innocent and lively, and when talking about the compliments of the people in the harem, she is even more vivid, as if she has seen it herself. At the end, she said: "Even the queen mother and empress are surprised when they hear this—there are such strange things in the palace." What about women!"

coming!Chen Lu sneered in her heart, but said with a smile in her mouth: "It must be your mother who praised me too much, which made the two masters curious!"

"Sister, why are you blaming me!" Concubine Mei said in a coquettish manner, her big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, and she couldn't blame Yuan Qi for staying in her palace all this time.

"The two masters and ladies, after hearing all kinds of legends, they all want to meet the real person! Tomorrow the Empress Dowager will hold a family banquet, and all the sisters will be present. She also said, bring Shang Yi along!"

Although these words were said in a joking manner, they were also intended. Chen Lu lowered her head to listen, and after a long time, she raised her head and said with a smile: "This is the favor of the two masters, I am really ashamed of it."

"That's it, I'll pick up my sister on time tomorrow!"

Concubine Mei achieved her goal, and Pingping Tingting left.

Chen Lu stared at her figure in a daze, and after a while, she smiled softly.

That smile is like the first light in the morning, so beautiful, but there is a kind of coldness that makes people tremble.

She squinted her eyes, and in the clear pupils, there was an unmistakable hatred——

Lin Yuan... Finally, we will meet again!
Just as Chen Lu thought, what happened at the front court was indeed wonderful.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was a solemn and solemn faction, and the ministers of civil and military affairs lined up on both sides, and there was no sound.

In the supreme throne, Yuan Qi rested his chin on one hand, listening with great interest.

In the center of the hall, a young man, one of the two messengers, was reading the letter of credence of Khulu Khan aloud.

His tone was a bit weird, it sounded ridiculous, but the atmosphere in the court was heavy, but no one was in the mood to laugh at her.

Yuan Qi was not in a hurry, and even had a leisurely smile. After the envoys finished reading, he did not invite them to go down. Instead, he looked around at the ministers in the hall and asked, "What's your opinion?"

The question was vague, and there was no sense of joy or anger. Everyone was an old man in the officialdom. Who dared to touch this bad luck, so there was silence.

The young envoy knew nothing about the official circles in the Central Plains. Seeing that everyone was silent, he thought that they were all afraid of the Tatar cavalry, so he couldn't help but triumphantly said: "My Great Khan upholds the kindness of the Changshengtian, and I don't want to do more evil. Let you It is really a good deal to hand over these old tributes in exchange for the peace of the Central Plains!"

"Sui Gong?" Yuan Qiying raised her eyebrows, as if hearing this new word for the first time, she laughed instead of anger.

"Bold and barbaric, how dare you utter wild words in the court! How did my celestial dynasty ever submit to you, and how can there be any annual tribute?!"

Everyone didn't need to look up to know that it was Huang Shangshu, who was straightforward but bookish.

The young man seemed to be waiting for his words, and opened his mouth to provoke, the emperor finally spoke.

His voice was not high, but the oppression hidden under his calm made the Tatar envoy vigilant——

"Messenger, should I call you Lord Muna, or Prince Muna?"

As soon as Yuan Qi opened his mouth, everyone in His Highness was stunned.

The envoy didn't expect this to happen, and he backed up a few steps in shock, but was restrained by Qu Yun's great grasping hand.

"Prince, don't panic, I don't intend to detain you here - just please tell your father, I won't accept any request from his letter!"

Mu Na didn't struggle, just stared, contemptuously——

"As soon as my Tatar army arrives, your country in the Central Plains will be reduced to ashes in no time!"

"Then I have no choice but to follow the example of the late emperor and drive you back to Mobei!"

Yuan Qi smiled gently and leisurely all the way, and added a sentence calmly——

"Before sending troops to our court, you should still pray that your father Khan can win the 'Mitu'!"

The emperor said lightly, ending the court meeting, and he stood up easily, not looking at Mu Na who was panicked and dying, and got up and went back to the palace.

The wind blew over the crown on his forehead, and it was crystal clear and golden, and it was even more imprinted on his eyes with deep eyes and a graceful demeanor.

As soon as Shen Shi passed, all the halls of the harem became busy. The Empress Dowager held a family banquet in the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Although it was a joyous and harmonious family in the palace, none of the concubines dared to neglect. After dressing up, they took a soft sedan chair Jian Yu came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning in twos and threes, waiting to serve Feng Jia.

All the people waited for a while, and Aunt Ye, who was beside the queen mother, came out of the palace, saluted lightly, and said with a smile: "The queen mother invites all the ladies to go in!"

The concubines knew that she was the most useful by the Empress Dowager's side, and even the emperor wanted to honor her as "Auntie", so how could they dare to accept such a great gift, they avoided it one after another, thanked her one after another, and entered cautiously according to their grades .

I saw the auspicious and peaceful road all the way, and all the treasures are full of ancient interest, but they feel fresh and elegant, without a trace of oldness, only occasionally showing majesty in the brilliance.

Walking through the four double-crossed blessing and longevity carved doors, there were already a group of maids waiting for their affairs, and they entered the main hall through the curtain made of [-] sandalwood incense beads.

This place is not luxurious, and the palace servants are also attentive and thoughtful, but the concubines just stand there with their hands down, their usual vivacity and cleverness are gone.

Aunt Ye coughed lightly, and a figure flickered, the Empress Dowager came out with support from left and right, and was seated in the hall.

There is a newly promoted concubine, who in the past just kowtowed in the morning and evening from a distance, and did not see it clearly.

I saw that although the Empress Dowager was in her forties, her brows and eyes were still as beautiful as the bright moon and the bright sun, and her pair of crystal clear eyes were as majestic as they flowed.

The empress dowager was born in a high-ranking family, and the Lin family was related to the royal family by blood in the previous dynasty. Such blood infiltration made her look noble and awe-inspiring.

Looking at her facial features, she looks a bit like the empress, but the empress standing beside her is not as charming as her.

She looked at the two rows of concubines, with a gentle smile in her eyes, and after they bowed down, she hurriedly ordered them to flatten, turned around and said to the queen with a smile: "It's really colorful, each is good at winning, you can compare it!"

The queen accepted it with a smile, but coquettishly refused: "The queen mother has forgotten Shujing when she sees the younger sisters!"

The Queen Mother smiled and pointed at her with a fan: "This ghost girl is jealous!

Underneath the Yungui people are eloquent, so they quickly picked up the pleasing words and said it to make fun of it: "The empress do not want to be angry, it is true that all the sisters see the empress dowager, and they wish to receive more loving care - if you don't leave, just grab it." After living with your empress for a day, the Empress Dowager treats you as if she were her own!"

She spoke with bright eyes, every word and every word, from the heart, not only lifted the empress dowager to the sky, but also flattered the empress without any trace. Yes, all of a sudden, I don't know how many compliments and compliments flew towards the Queen Mother like a cloud.

The Empress Dowager accepted it with a smile, but she didn't smile like ordinary women, she just sighed: "Speaking of my kindness to you, it's a compliment to my old woman... The late emperor left early, and I disciplined the emperor quite severely. I'm not harsh on you..."
