Chapter 12 Palace Banquet ([-])

Chapter 12
"Your Majesty, Empress, Empress Dowager, and Concubine Xian are here." The high-pitched voice of the ceremonial officer once again spread throughout the An Le Palace, making the originally lively palace instantly quiet.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, empress, empress dowager, imperial concubine and empress." The people who were sitting in their seats and the busy palace people all bent down to come in. Greetings to the four most noble persons in the entire Sheng Yuan Dynasty.

Emperor Yuan took the hand of Empress Yuan and walked to the dragon chair in Anle Palace and sat down. The empress and empress dowager sat next to the dragon chair, one on the left and the other on the right. Concubine Xian also sat next to Empress Yuan in turn.

After the Emperor Yuan took his seat, he smiled heartily and excused everyone's courtesy: "You don't need to be formal, please take your seat."

"Thank you, Majesty Long En." Everyone thanked the emperor for their grace, and then sat back in their seats.

The emperor smiled and said to the eunuch in charge who was standing next to him, "Little Fuzi, let's announce the decree!"

Xiao Fuzi bowed down and respectfully accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, he stood up straight and took out the imperial decree from the tray held by the little maid next to him.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said: General Xu Rong and his deputy Xu Anyang have made great contributions to protecting the country, and Xu Rong is specially appointed as the general of the country, and Xu Anyang is the major general of Wei'an. I respect this." Read the content of the imperial edict aloud After coming out, Xiao Fuzi silently stood aside again.

Xu Rong and Xu Anyang left their seats, walked to the middle of the hall, bent down and clasped their fists, and said in unison, "Thank you my Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Get up and take your seat. Major General Xu has no sons. Major General Xu will have a bright future." After Xu Rong and Xu Anyang returned to their seats, the emperor looked at them with approving eyes, attracting the approval of other officials.

After Xiao Fuzi announced his joy, tonight's banquet officially started.In an instant, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, and the dancers came in from the gate of the hall one after another, dancing gracefully and movingly, and that graceful figure attracted the attention of most people.During the banquet, there was a lot of drinking and drinking, and the conversation was very happy. It was a peaceful and peaceful scene.

"Miss, miss, that is the God of War General Xu I mentioned to you." Jin'er stood beside Li Feiran, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked at Xu Rong with bright eyes.

"Jin'er, this is the imperial palace." Li Feiran held her forehead speechlessly. She really never thought that such a reserved girl would be so excited after seeing her idol. It seems that no matter where the trend of star chasing is, All are popular.

"Jin'er, how many heirs does the current emperor have?" Li Feiran glanced at Yuan Huang who was sitting on the dragon chair, and asked Jin'er in a low voice. If people grab the handle, they can't eat it and walk around.

Jin'er cautiously looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention, and then told Li Feiran about the news about the royal family that she had heard earlier.

"There are not many heirs of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. There are five princes and one princess under his knees. The eldest prince, Situ Shuimiao, was born to the empress. The biological mother of the second prince, Situ Chenhao, is a Jieyu. Because of his low status, he is not qualified to raise him. His own child, after giving birth to the second prince, was handed over to the empress to raise him. The third prince, Situ Minglie, was the son of the emperor's favorite concubine Xian, and moved out of the palace when he was ten years old because the palace he lived in caught fire. The prince, Situ Yujie, was born to Concubine Shu, who was only ten years old. The fifth princess is also the child of Concubine Xian, and she is even younger, only five years old."

"The palace caught fire??" How could a good palace catch fire inexplicably?Could it be that someone set the fire on purpose?Could it be that he moved out of the palace to save his life?Seeing that the noble concubine Xian looks beautiful, sitting next to the queen who is the mother of the country is not only slightly better than the queen, but also has a touch of charm, maybe this is the reason why she has been favored by the emperor for so many years. .

"Yes, I also heard that because the third prince was injured in the fire, his temperament changed drastically. After he moved out of the palace, he would get sick every night when the moon was full. He had to drink human blood to recover." Her voice trembled, obviously frightened by the news she heard.

"Drinking human blood??!!" Li Feiran cried out in surprise, she quickly covered her mouth in fear of being heard by others.She had read about drinking human blood in novels in modern times, but she didn't expect that she would hear such things when she travels back to this dynasty. God, I hope she will not have any intersection with such horrible characters in the future.

Situ Shuimiao sipped the wine in the glass carefully, his sharp and inquiring eyes kept turning around Li Feiran's body, because the wine glass was blocking her, so Li Feiran didn't notice.

"Jin'er, this banquet is too boring, let's go for a walk." As time passed, Li Feiran gradually lost interest in this palace banquet. She glanced at Li Xing and saw that he was talking to a minister. The conversation was lively, so I gave up the idea of ​​telling him, and took Jin'er out of the palace quietly while no one was paying attention.

"Miss, why don't we go back, it's our first time entering the palace so don't cause trouble..." Jin'er followed behind Li Feiran, looking around timidly, only to see her young lady leading her away from Anle. The palace was getting farther and farther, and the route was getting more and more remote. She tugged at Li Feiran's sleeve with some fear in her heart, and the two stopped in front of a rusty looking gate.

"No, it's okay, let's go in and take a look. It's rare to come to the palace once, and it's a waste of my time and expression to sit there all the time." Li Feiran looked at the gloomy palace in front of her, and forced herself to be calm. Swallowing his saliva, he emboldened himself.

Even after death, her soul can pass through and be reborn. It's just a small palace, so what are you afraid of! !Just consider it an adventure.Regardless of Jin'er's reluctance, she took Jin'er's hand and approached the bronze door,
With a "squeak", the door made an unpleasant sound, and was pushed open by the two along with streaks of dust.The two walked in hand in hand. Inside the gate was a dilapidated palace, which looked like it had been repaired.

"Miss, miss... I, I dare not go in." Seeing that Li Feiran was about to move forward, Jin'er hurriedly held her back.Although it's not very dark here with the moonlight, but Jin'er feels a little gloomy in her heart, and can vaguely smell the smell of firewood.

"Okay, okay, then you stay here and don't wander around. I'll come out immediately after going in for a few glances, understand?" Seeing that Jin'er was really scared, Li Feiran didn't force her anymore, and waited for Jin'er to be obedient. After nodding his head, he tiptoedly opened the door of the palace in front of him and slipped in.

After Li Feiran entered the palace, she carefully looked around by the moonlight, but even with the moonlight, she still couldn't see some places clearly. It should be here that Li Feiran looked at it with a dull interest before preparing to leave.

"Pa-ta", just as she was about to exit, a voice suddenly sounded in the silent palace, making Li Feiran instantly frightened.
