Chapter 23 It was the empress who posted a message to invite the courtiers to come
The girl is fourteen or five years old, with fair skin, big eyes, delicate nose, and rosy mouth... She is beautiful, but the arrogance and domineering look on her face makes her pale.
Shangguan Ruoli listened to the voice and recognized that it was Princess Dongming Yuehua of Anping, sister of Prince Dongming Ziche, and the daughter of the empress.
She was deeply loved by the emperor, queen and prince, and she was so doted on that she was lawless and arrogant.
Shangguan Ruoli raised his chin slightly and said calmly: "It was the queen who sent me a message to invite my daughter to come."
"You, you, you!" Princess Anping wanted to scratch Shangguan Ruoli's face, "How do you still have the nerve to go out? You are not afraid of dirtying the palace grounds!"
Shangguan Ruoli smiled angrily and said, "Don't be afraid. The Queen is not afraid, so why should I take pictures?"
Princess Anping was so angry that she vomited blood and raised her hand to hit Shangguan Ruoli.
"Miss, over there is your seat!" Qiu Ju pulled Shangguan Ruoli at the right time.
If Shangguan Ruo was busy, he took a step away and barely escaped Princess Anping's slap.
Shangguan Ruoxian and Xu Jingxuan looked at each other with disappointment, then stepped forward to salute Princess Anping: "My lord, I pay my respects to the princess."
Xu Jingxuan gave Princess Anping a knowing look, and Princess Anping's expression softened a little.
Shangguan Ruoli pretended not to see the calculation in their eyes and held Qiu Ju's hand to his seat.
"Hey! Little blind man! Try this candied fruit, it's delicious!" He stretched out his beautiful hand from the next table and placed the plate in front of her.
This person's voice was carefree, not as delicate and melodious as other women's.
The original owner was blind, had low self-esteem, was withdrawn, and was secretly ostracized by Shangguan Ruoxian. She had few real friends in her memory. Now she has a bad reputation. So far, she has only met this one person who is willing to take the initiative to say hello to her.
Shangguan Ruoli searched the original owner's mind for information about the owner of the voice.
This person is Zheng Shuyue, the princess of Jinyang County, the youngest daughter of Duke Ding, who is eighteen years old.
On the day she was born, she received the bad news that Duke Dingguo and her eldest brother had died in battle. Her mother was so grieved that she suffered a hemorrhage and died after giving birth to her. For this reason, she gained an ominous reputation as a father, mother, and brother.
The emperor was grateful that Duke Ding and his son had sacrificed their lives for the country, so he made her the princess and his second brother as the princess.
"Princess Jinyang!" Shangguan Ruoli bowed slightly and looked at her from the corner of his eye.
I saw that she was not wearing a colorful Guangzhou embroidered gauze dress like other women, but was wearing a black narrow-sleeved dress. She has beautiful eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, delicate and comely features, and she is considered a beauty. She did not kneel down, but
Sitting cross-legged in a free and easy manner, she has a sense of familiarity with a big sister.
"Okay! Don't do these false gifts!" She raised her hand proudly, "The banquet won't start until later. Let's eat something first. After a while, the emperor and queen will lose their appetite."
Her eyes were clear and magnanimous, and there was no trace of contempt or hostility towards Shangguan Ruoli. Although Memory said harsh words to the original owner, she never really bullied the original owner. When the original owner was bullied, she often defended her.
Shangguan Ruoli suddenly became fond of her, nodded and smiled: "Okay!"
Then she reached out to fumble for the snacks on the plate, always reminding herself that she was blind.
Zheng Shuyue glared at Qiu Ju who was looking curiously at the splendid palace, picked up a piece of candied fruit and stuffed it into Shangguan Ruoli's hand, and said, "Why did you bring a country bumpkin who has never seen the world into the palace?"
When Qiu Ju heard this, she immediately blushed and apologized in a low voice, "I know I was wrong!"
Shangguan Ruoli took a bite of the candied fruit and said with a smile: "It's her first time entering the palace, so it's understandable that she's curious."
"Tch! It's embarrassing for the master to be so ignorant of concealment," Zheng Shuyue sneered disdainfully, "It's because of your good temper. If I were the princess, I would have beaten her all over the floor!"
Because of her bad luck, she was treated harshly by her brother and sister-in-law when she was young. However, she was rebellious and arrogant and learned martial arts from her family generals. She would fight anyone who bullied her. She was beaten at first, but gradually she started beating others.
So much so that no one wants her even though she is eighteen years old. If she is not married at eighteen, she is an old girl in this era, but she herself is not in a hurry.
Shangguan Ruoli smiled lightly, covered his legs with a wide skirt, and tried to make himself sit as comfortably as possible. Sitting on his knees was really uncomfortable!
They were eating snacks and chatting here. The maid next to Dongming Yuehua came back outside the palace and quietly winked at her, which meant that everything had been arranged.
Dongming Yuehua and Xu Jingxuan looked at each other and smiled.
Shangguan Ruoxian turned a blind eye, lowered his head and drank tea, hiding the excitement and viciousness in his eyes.
At this time, the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the palace: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
"The Queen is here!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
"His Royal Highness King Xuan has arrived!"
…
Since ancient times, big names have always made their final appearance.
I saw the emperor, the queen, concubines, princes, and grandchildren filing into the main hall.
Everyone did not look sideways, stood up, tidied their clothes, hairpins, and bowed respectfully.
Shangguan Ruoli stood up, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Dongming Ziyu, who was wearing a purple python robe, and seemed to be looking at her. When she looked over without a trace, she only saw his cold and handsome profile.
Dongming Ziyu walked behind the prince, with a tall and straight posture, like a dragon and a phoenix. The killing pressure he brought from the mountains of blood and corpses on the battlefield all year round was unmatched by other princes and even the emperor.
He seemed to have a halo of his own, like the brightness of the bright moon, and everything else had lost its luster.
The prince's gentle, elegant and hypocritical appearance in front of King Xuan was like a small pearl meeting a luminous pearl, dim and pale.
The young woman's eyes were glued to Dongming Ziyu unconsciously, with pink hearts in her eyes, hoping that he would look at them.
Dongming Ziyu is like the fire wrapped in thousands of years of ice. Those women would rather be frozen into ice or burned into ashes than they would pounce on...
What handsome men have Shangguan Ruoli not seen in modern times? European and American ones, Oriental ones, original ones, plastic surgery ones... except Dongming Ziyu, who is not as classical and cold and arrogant.
Shangguan Ruoli glanced at him secretly, feeling infatuated in his heart.
Gee, he’s so handsome!
That handsome face and jade-like skin, I really want to touch it.
If he is tied to the bed, served with a whip and a small candle, then...
Then I can't do anything, I can only watch and worry!
Shangguan Ruoli felt a little regretful, and when he suddenly came back to his senses, he found that Dongming Ziyu was looking at her playfully, with a dangerous aura flashing in his eyes.
Oh my god! She's not going to show off her secrets like crazy. She lowered her head and lowered her eyes to adjust her mood. Fortunately, she has learned the ability to keep her face calm even when the mountain collapses in front of her. No matter how upset her heart is, she can still keep her face calm.
Change color.
The dignitaries sat on the left and right respectively, and the queen and the prince sat near the dragon chair. Just looking at the arrangement this time, you can know the level of status.
The emperor sat down and said calmly: "The general Zhenguo will return to the court immediately, accompanied by the peace delegation from Beiling. The delegations from Xirong and Nanyun will also come by then. The four countries of Canglan Continent will gather with us.
Dongming."
