Empress Fenghua

Chapter 705 Laba Banquet
A banquet is being held in the Changding Palace of the Ling Kingdom, and the palace lanterns are like a crystal garden in the snowy night.Xiliang silently faced everyone with a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, it was just a stiff posture.

Wanrong sat down, knowing that his smile was fake, but she was willing to take a few more glances.Once upon a time, he also smiled at himself like this, but it seemed that in the end, he couldn't even look at himself.Wanrong picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp, not at all as elegant as before.

Zhao Yu on the side frowned, lowered his eyes to cover his emotions, "Drink less! There is still a tough battle to be fought soon."

Wan Rong couldn't help but smiled wryly, "You still hold on to hope to fight her?"

"Aren't you?"

"The final victory or defeat is already in front of you, why are you so nervous?" Wan Rong glanced at her, "I just don't want her to be so happy!"

Zhao Yu glanced at her impatiently, "Everything is in vain because of unwillingness. If that's the case, why bother to pretend? On the contrary, it makes people think that you are generous. Sometimes men have to treat them with a woman's small mind. Maybe he That's how I know you care."

Wanrong's cheeks were slightly red, "Oh? Really? It seems that famous actresses are really different, they have more experience dealing with men!"

"What did you say?" Zhao Yu looked sideways at Wan Rong, his eyes were sharp and cold, and his whole body exuded killing intent.

Standing behind Wanrong, Chunzhu frowned and bowed, "Madam Chun calm down, Madam Ru is drinking too much and speaks without choice. If there is any offense, please take care of Madam Tudor."

"Back off!" Wanrong also suddenly became cold, she didn't know whether it was because of her drunkenness or she was angry in her heart, she actually had an argument with Zhao Yu on this occasion, "Idiot slave, you can lower my head What? Offended so much? Do you still need to take care of it?"

Zhao Yu sneered, "It seems that Mrs. Ru is indeed prejudiced against me, and I will definitely keep what happened today in mind."

"The imperial concubine arrives..."

Everyone couldn't help but looked towards the door, only to see a bright yellow figure walking in, dressed in a dress that was graceful and dignified, but also petite and lovely.After all, Ruan Siying is younger and looks more feminine.

Ruan Mingyue glanced at Xiliang's speechless smile, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor!"

"The imperial concubine is flat!" Xiliang stretched out his hand without words, and waited until Ruan Siying walked up the steps to catch his hand before putting it down.Ruan Siying sat beside him and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, this occasion is too grand, and my concubine is a little flattered, and at the same time worried about the refugees in the north of Lingguo."

Xiliang silently smiled and nodded, "I am very pleased that the imperial concubine thinks this way, but for the sake of the refugees in the north, I have already saved a lot on the banquet. If there is no such extravagance, I am afraid that the imperial concubine will be wronged." , it will also make the King of Southern Border feel that I have neglected you!"

Ruan Mingyue clasped her fists in a salute, "Emperor Ling is too polite!"

"The imperial concubine's dress today is really beautiful! This is the first time I have seen such a bright yellow in the palace. I am afraid that only the empress and imperial concubine can wear it. It is a fresh look for the concubines." The whole hall was shocked. , Wanrong's slightly drunken cheeks flushed, and she looked at Ruan Siying with a smile.

Xiliang Wuyan never thought that Wanrong would lose her appearance, she really shouldn't interrupt in such an occasion!
Wanrong didn't seem to feel it, and said with a smile, "However, the imperial concubine is definitely not as good-looking as the empress. The empress is peerless and magnificent, and she is the only person in the world. Her temperament also has a Prestige and independence, I'm afraid it's the most suitable color to wear. In contrast, wearing an imperial concubine looks a bit more childish!"

A flash of anger flashed in Ruan Siying's eyes, but the smile on her face did not change, "How can I be more handsome than the empress? If my wife is drunk. But you are right, I am still young, so naturally there are girls Qi, this is beyond Madam's reach."

Zhao Yu covered his face with a smile, and glanced at Wan Rong, with a bit of teasing in his expression.Wanting to dismantle the stage but being dismantled by others, such as lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, I didn't expect Wanrong to do it!

"Speaking of it, there is really no difference in appearance between the imperial concubine and the empress. Perhaps the emperor's national beauty and natural appearance are not bad. One is young and beautiful, and the other is talented, but the concubine is getting old day by day. After reading it, I feel that time flies by." Wan Rong chuckled, "Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

Xiliang Wuyan's face turned slightly cold, "Wanrong, you're drunk!"

Wanrong smiled gratifiedly, "Your Majesty, today's scene reminds the concubine of the time when the emperor and empress entered the palace. The palace tree was made in the middle of the imperial edict, and the wall of Yining palace was full of pepper fragrance. It is really enviable. Time flies , now it's the turn of the imperial concubine, but it's a pity that this Hengwu Palace..." Wanrong laughed dryly, and stood up unsteadily, "It is true that the concubine drank too much. If there is anything inappropriate, please let the emperor Forgive me and the imperial concubine!"

Ruan Siying blushed to her ears, if she got angry looking at Wanrong like this, it would only make everyone feel that she was too unmannered.Ruan Siying raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "The banquet hasn't started yet, Madam Ru is leaving, I feel a little regretful!"

"If the imperial concubine feels regretful, you can follow the concubine to Jingxian Palace! The concubine's palace must have prepared a feast of wine and wine for the concubine." Wanrong smiled with a hint of sarcasm, "Resign, the concubine!"

"Report..."

Zhan Qing frowned and ran in, seeing Xiliang's speechless and cold expression, slowly frowned, the secret letter in his hand tightened a bit.

Wanrong couldn't help smiling, "It seems that even if the concubine stays here, the imperial concubine's concubine's welcome banquet will be a bit regretful!" Wanrong glanced at Zhao Yu, bowed slightly, turned her head and left.

Zhao Yu tidied up his sleeves and stood up, "Since the emperor has important matters to deal with, why not let the concubine preside over this banquet! The emperor is always busy, and I'm afraid he will be busy again!"

Ruan Mingyue's green eyes flashed a cold light, no matter whether this matter is really important or not, it will not do her any good.Firstly, he lost face in Nanjiang, and secondly, the news must be unfavorable to himself and Xiliang.

Xiliang was silent for a while, feeling the anger emanating from Ruan Siying beside her, and held her hand with a smile.Ruan Siying quickly recovered her smile, "Since the emperor has something important to do, go get busy! The concubine didn't want to waste the emperor's precious time, but she just couldn't bear to disappoint the emperor's good intentions. If this is the case, why don't we just leave today?" , and the banquet will be assigned to their respective palaces."

"The imperial concubine is virtuous!" Zhao Yu agreed without waiting for Xiliang to silently agree.She never expected that Ruan Siying, who is so beautiful, would end the Laba Banquet in this way, and she couldn't help but a sneering smile in her heart.

Ruan Mingyue and Xiliang left one after another without a word, and the rest of the trash also left disappointed.Ruan Siying glanced at Zhao Yu, "Now you and Mrs. Ru should be satisfied?"

Zhao Yu looked at her innocently, "What does the concubine mean by this? The concubine can't understand, but the concubine is also very sorry for what happened today. But who would have expected that as long as you get along with the concubine, everything will be fine. Is it all so bad? It’s really a waste of the exquisite things specially prepared by the concubine. If the imperial concubine doesn’t dislike it, the concubine will send someone to Hengwu Palace.”

"No need!" Ruan Siying snorted coldly, "I'm really worried about the things that come out of your hands." Ruan Siying stood up and walked down the steps, looked at Zhao Yu proudly and smiled, "I'm going to go ahead , Mrs. Chun is here to clean up the mess! By the way, I forgot to tell you, in fact, although today is not a Laba day in our southern border, it is also a very important day."

"Oh? What is it?"

Ruan Siying approached Zhao Yu, "It's called Life and Death Tribulation!"

Zhao Yu trembled all over, looked at Ruan Siying who was close at hand with sharp eyes, and smiled awkwardly, "What is life and death?"

"As the name suggests, it is naturally a festival to control life and death? The comparison is who has a ghost in his heart." Ruan Siying smiled brightly, "I hope that person is not you!"

Zhao Yu forced a smile, and his face became paler, "The imperial concubine is getting more and more incomprehensible to what the concubines are saying, it's getting late, since there is no banquet, let's send the imperial concubine respectfully!"

Ruan Siying smiled and nodded, "Then I wish Madam Chun a safe day!"
