The foolish king's marriage to the ugly concubine

194 Chapter 3 Come and Kick Once ([-])
She closed her eyes but didn't fall asleep for a long time. Tomorrow, tomorrow can leave here and leave the palace.

After a long time, her consciousness finally fell into darkness.

Chu Xuanyu sat up quietly, he did not sneak into the bed tent.There is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, so let her sleep peacefully.

He just leaned on the soft couch and looked in the direction of the bed, quietly lost in thought, his dark pupils quietly turning purple at some point.

On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the palace began to get busy before dawn.The Xichu Palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, and the palace people come and go constantly.

Mu Xinran was awakened.

She opened the bed curtain and saw Chu Xuanyu curled up on the soft couch like last night, with her peaceful sleeping face slightly leaning against the soft couch, her face deformed slightly, her body shrunk into a bow shape, her legs almost touching her stomach superior.

She tidied her clothes a little before she heard a knock on the door.

Chu Xuanyu was also woken up, and let the maids wash and dress him up with a sleepy look.

When the two went out, they were already glamorous.

Chu Xuanyu is still dressed in a purple python robe, with a jade crown, hair tied up, and shoes with her head turned up. She has a handsome face and a tall and straight figure, which makes people's eyes shine.

Mu Xinran was dressed in a lavender palace dress, only embroidered with deep purple violets on the cuffs, neckline and skirt, etc., her hair that she usually put down was also pulled up, and two tufts of black hair were left on her cheeks near her ears, making her solemn and solemn. The dress is a little more agile.The hair ornament on the head is only a white jade plum flower hairpin, which is simple and luxurious.

Originally, the palace maid had inserted all kinds of pearl hairpins and hairpin flowers on her head, and her hair was also arranged in that complicated style, making her bear a head that weighed several catties for a whole day. Take off all the pearl hairpins and hairpins.

The maids were so frightened that they begged for mercy, thinking that they had offended the princess because of their bad behavior.In the end it was she who tried to explain to them that she believed that she would not punish them.So they had to redress her again, and then gave up at her insistence, and just inserted a simple hosta.

Fortunately, she insisted, otherwise the horror level of her face would definitely be raised to another level.The face was painted as white as a ghost, and the lips were painted as red as blood. It is no wonder that it is not scary.

Someone even gave her a veil, the purple veil just to cover the birthmark on her face.

Really hard work!

Mu Xinran sneered, don't let her come if you are afraid that she will scare people.

Standing at the door, the two immediately attracted everyone's attention.If you don't know the details of the two, you may be impressed by their demeanor.

The man is majestic and handsome, while the woman is graceful and graceful, as cold as the moon.

Eunuch Xiao, who was waiting to pick up the two, was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly led the two to greet Lafayette.This is the custom of the Western Chu royal family. They must get up early on Lafayette's birthday, and they will go to congratulate and give gifts to Lafayette as soon as the hour arrives.

On the way, Eunuch Xiao saw that her hands were empty, and suddenly remembered something: "Is Princess Rui's birthday gift ready for Lafayette?" In fact, he just asked casually.To be favored by Lafayette is the virtue accumulated in the previous life.Which one is not in a hurry to please Lafayette, there are countless gifts in normal times, let alone a special day like today.

Mu Xinran was taken aback, gift?She completely forgot to prepare presents.

Seeing this, Eunuch Xiao looked at her in surprise: "Princess Rui won't tell the slave that you forgot, will she?"

His voice was loud, and the palace servants who followed him and those he met on the road all looked over.

Mu Xinran's expression returned to calm, "Eunuch Xiao, don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

I don't know how to get rid of this gift from Prince Rui?
Seeing her calm and composed, Eunuch Xiao thought she was really prepared, so he led the way with peace of mind.

When we arrived at the main hall, we saw that many people had already come inside, all of them were relatively close clan members, most of them were emperors, grandchildren, concubines and their uncles and nephews.

The Empress Dowager was wearing a red palace attire with ten phoenixes singing together, and a crown of six dragons and three phoenixes on her head. The gold and blue complement each other, and she sat alone on the main seat. I don't know if the clothes she is wearing today are brighter, or because people are in good spirits on happy occasions. Lafayette is in a particularly good spirit today, seeing all the children and grandchildren in the hall come to congratulate him on his birthday, he can't stop smiling from ear to ear.

The princesses and princes were all dressed in palace attire, which was much more grand than usual. I don't know who said what, which made everyone laugh constantly.

Seeing Prince Rui and Princess Rui coming in, they all showed surprise and mocking eyes, but they had heard some rumors before and knew that Lafayette was extremely partial to the two of them, so at this moment they did not dare to blatantly show disdain for them.

First the emperor, then the empress dowager, the eminent concubines took turns to present birthday gifts, and then the princes, concubines, and princesses came forward to kowtow to celebrate their birthdays.Some couldn't wait to send congratulatory gifts, most of which were treasures or famous medicines, Lafayette accepted them one by one with a smile.Only a few smiled and said that they would wait for the birthday banquet before delivering it.

Mu Xinran is naturally one of them.

After saying a few more birthday wishes, everyone left.The real highlight is the state banquet. Before that, they still have some preparations.

At noon, the emperor accompanied Lafayette to receive congratulations from all the officials in the palace.

He is obviously a person who has passed his birthday, but he is more tired than anyone else.What's more, at Lafayette's age, in Mu Xinran's view, it doesn't look like he is celebrating her birthday, but rather to torment her.

It is rare for the palace to be so lively. On the largest stage, one play after another is being performed non-stop. The imperial garden and other beautiful places are surrounded by crowds of people. There are also many people in strange costumes in the palace. Envoys from various countries who came to celebrate his birthday.In addition to the four major countries, east, west, north, south, there are also some small countries and tribes.So it looks all kinds of things, dazzling.

Mu Xinran didn't want to stay with those gorgeous women, so she hid in a secluded garden to be alone, thinking that it wouldn't be too late to go out until the state banquet at night.

As for Chu Xuanyu, she never thought about where he would go.

After Chu Xuanjin sent the exhausted Lafayette back to rest, she walked to a secluded place and summoned hidden guards, "How are you preparing?"

"Don't worry, your majesty, everything is ready."

This time, he didn't let the Royal Forest Army and guards in the palace participate, because he was worried that there would be internal responses from that person.Therefore, he summoned all the one hundred hidden guards scattered all over the country. These specially trained dark guards can fight one against a hundred. Not only are they safe to use, but their strength should not be underestimated.

At the same time, in a defeated palace, a group of people in Tsing Yi gathered. They all had a golden orchid embroidered on their necklines and wore Asura masks on their faces.

What is surprising is that the two men standing in front of the man in Tsing Yi are similar in stature, both wearing silver masks.The difference is that a golden magnolia flower is carved on the left side of the mask of the man in purple, while that of the man in white is on the right.
