Splendid concubine

Chapter 143 Winter Solstice Palace Banquet
Just at the gate of the palace, I saw many carriages parked there. Liu Ruyi couldn't find a place to park the carriages, so she could only get off at a place slightly outside and walked in.

Because of the new dress, Liu Jiaren happily ran back and forth, chatting and laughing with Liu Mengxue carelessly in front of Liu Xuanshuang and Liu Wanwan.

Liu Mengxue glanced at Liu Xuanshuang with dark eyes, she remembered Liu Xuanshuang treating her like a dog before.

Now, the Zhao family has finally collapsed, and her marriage has long been decided by the eldest lady. Strictly speaking, they have enmity. Thinking of the gauze dress Liu Xuanshuang chose in the shop today, the corner of Liu Mengxue's mouth twitched strangely. radians.

Fortunately, inside the palace gate, there were palace maids and eunuchs sent by Mu Zitan to pick up Liu Ruyi and his party.

A few young eunuchs were far away, so they trotted all the way over, forced Liu Ruyi to sit on the two-step walk, although a little envious, Liu Jiaren obediently followed beside her.

But Liu Xuanshuang looked at Bu Tuo, her eyes were about to burst into flames, if Bu Tuo sat on it, it would be great if she was the one looked up to.

Surely, after tonight, she will be able to live like that.

Swearing secretly in her heart, Liu Xuanshuang struggled to put on a decent smile on her face.

Just as she thought, everyone is talking about the Zhao family now.

The Zhao family had a gloomy holiday today. Originally, the three daughters of the Zhao family were already engaged, especially the eldest lady. After the wedding in February of the new year, Mrs. Zhao Ji Xiaogui had an accident before. The eldest lady’s husband’s family did not dislike the eldest lady. , and are willing to get married as scheduled.

As a result, such things happened, and they were busy separating the relationship with the Zhao family. Miss Zhao's husband's family is a bit pedantic, and the most respectful thing is the name of Mr. Zhao. When Mr. Zhao was alive in the early years, it was hard to get Yes, getting married, now, since Mr. Zhao has lost his name, naturally it doesn't matter at all.

The in-laws of the Second Miss Zhao and the Third Miss Zhao also came to withdraw their marriage one after another. The Zhao family was very busy, and the three young ladies of the Zhao family were even more upset. Why did they come to the palace banquet?

Sitting on the step, Liu Ruyi felt a little drowsy. With her chin propped up, she listened in a daze to the people talking along the way, all of which belonged to the Zhao family.

Why are you always falling asleep lately?Liu Ruyi suddenly became alert, there was nothing wrong with her body, could it be that she was poisoned?

Go back and find Grandma Liu to have a look first, if it doesn't work, hurry up and find a genius doctor to detoxify.

The step staggered, and stopped at a certain place. Liu Ruyi opened her eyes and saw, who was it not Mu Zitan?

Mu Zitan pouted, looking unhappy, that's right, anyone who is dressed up like a red lantern would not be happy, but Mu Zitan is really beautiful, the dress on his body can be seen, it is also carefully crafted by the Shangyi Bureau Designed and made, it is very exquisite and luxurious, in fact, it is not ugly to wear at all, but the color is a bit unhappy for Mu Zitan who likes light colors.

Resisting the gushing smile, Liu Ruyi pinched Mu Zitan's face, and then led Mu Zitan to greet Concubine Lin.

After eating well, Concubine Lin's belly was already a little pregnant. Seeing Concubine Lin's appearance and the happy smiling face touching her belly, Liu Ruyi was very pleased.

"By the way, Ruyi, during the winter solstice, several chiefs from the small country in southern Xinjiang came to worship with their families. There are a few princesses at the banquet today. I'm afraid it will embarrass us red sandalwood. Look at the red sandalwood. Concubine Lin, Liu Ruyi, and Mu Zitan babbled about Mo Li's childhood for a while, and then remembered it.

"Now with my brain, I almost forgot." Concubine Lin rubbed her head, a little embarrassed.

"I heard that those in the south can use witchcraft, don't they?" Liu Ruyi asked seriously, her expression became serious.

"It's true, but I haven't seen it before." Concubine Lin affirmed.

"I hope they don't need it. If they do, it will be a little troublesome. You go to the alley of West Street, take this jade pendant, and go get a man called Hua Wuqing." Liu Ruyi thought for a while, and called Lin The eunuch in the concubine's palace ordered.

After the eunuch left, Liu Ruyi explained to Concubine Lin that she needed a genius doctor to come over just in case. Although the genius doctor may not understand witchcraft, it is better to take precautions than nothing.

Concubine Lin couldn't help regretting how she had forgotten these things.

Not long after the order was given, some palace people came to invite Concubine Lin, the princess and princess moved, and the palace banquet was about to begin.

As usual, after the emperor begged for a good harvest in the coming year, the palace banquet officially began.

The emperor and the empress sat at the top, the empress dowager and concubine sat on the left next to the empress, concubine Lin sat on the emperor's right hand side, Mu Zitan was next to concubine Lin, and Liu Ruyi sat next to Mu Zitan under the light of Mu Zitan At the bottom, there are high-ranking concubines who can attend in turn, and below them are the ministers and their family members.

Liu Ru thought that opposite the concubines, there were still a few long tables unoccupied under the Empress Dowager, and she knew that these were the places for the monarchs and their families of those small southern countries.

Just as he sat down, there was a loud laugh coming from the entrance of the hall.

Liu Ruyi looked up, and saw a short black bearded man coming in from the door, wearing clothes covered in cotton thread and linen thread, looking a little strange.

"Hahaha, the last time we met was a year ago, your majesty is safe and sound, looking more radiant." The bearded man laughed.

Next to her, the maid sent by Concubine Lin to take care of Mu Zitan said in a low voice, "This is the chief of the largest tribe in the south, called Chief Ke Ye, and my mother said he is a smiling tiger."

"So is Chief Ye, he looks younger." The emperor said politely.

"Your Majesty, this year's congratulatory gift is still the same, but I still have a special gift for the emperor." But Chief Ye really did what Concubine Lin said, smiling all the time. flashes of light.

It is difficult to deal with, Liu Ruyi evaluated inwardly.

I have heard of witchcraft in my previous life, but I haven't had much contact with it, especially the usual witchcraft, which are nothing more than burying a villain, sticking a needle, etc., but the southern witchcraft is made from genuine reptiles.

It seems that Chief Ke Ye's strange clothes are also related to this.

Unknowingly, hairs started to appear on his arms, it really is a creepy ability.

"Oh, what special gift, I want to know now." The emperor laughed.

Chief Ke Ye was followed by several chiefs, but none of them spoke, they just saluted with Chief Ke Ye.

"Come on, hurry up and bring me the special gift I brought to the emperor." Chief Ke Ye clapped his hands.

I saw a few women with red veils on their faces and extremely revealing red gauze clothes coming to the door. Moreover, the clothes on these women couldn't cover anything at all. It was obviously winter and it was very cold. But these women didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all. Liu Ruyi didn't know what to say with her bare arms, thought-provoking thighs, and belly.

Some ministers muttered that it was indecent, and turned their heads away, and some hypocrites secretly looked at it. For a while, it was also Coke.

Just as the two rows of veiled maids stood still, a woman in a snow-white gauze all over slowly walked in behind, but she was tightly wrapped.

Liu Ruyi almost laughed when she saw it, Liu Xuanshuang originally thought that choosing a white gauze dress today would make her stand out on such a festive day, but she didn't expect that there were people wearing white gauze clothes.

I saw the woman moving lightly with lotus steps, and when she walked in, she seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of lotus flowers.

"Little girl Bizhu sees the emperor." As soon as the words were finished, before the emperor called out, she suddenly stood up from the ground, her body as soft as a snake swayed, making strange rhythms.

Immediately, many ministers exclaimed in amazement, and the bearded girl in the Goulan did not dance so well.

Immediately, there were many cold snorts from ladies and wives.

Liu Ruyi looked over, she wasn't worried that the woman from southern Xinjiang would show off, but she was worried that something would happen.

Turning his head to look up, the emperor's face showed satisfaction, while the queen's face had a forced smile.

Concubine Lin didn't know why, her soul wandered into the sky.

Sighing slightly, presumably, the chief sent such an outstanding woman because he wanted to add bricks and tiles to the emperor's harem.

The woman is spinning like a whirlwind now, her skirt is flying, she is very beautiful.

It was not easy for the gauze to fly, I don't know how the woman did it, but Liu Ruyi soon found out that under the gauze, there were countless small silver bells, which made crisp sounds as the woman rotated .

The woman's eyes looked affectionately at the princes sitting under the chiefs.

That's right, which prince's mansion is it supposed to be given to?

"Mother, have all the princes left the palace to build the mansion? When will they return to the palace to build the mansion?" Liu Ruyi asked the maid to convey in a low voice.

Soon, Concubine Lin replied that before the prince's wedding, he would not leave the palace to build a mansion.

This is quite lively, needless to say, apart from being in the limelight today, this woman looks at the face that all the men are staring at. No matter who gets this woman, it will be a bloodbath and will become the target of public criticism.

I really don't know if Xiao Moli will be tempted.

Looking at Xiao Moli, Liu Ruyi was still very satisfied, Xiao Moli was holding a wine glass in his hand, looking at Mu Zitan from a distance with a half-smile.

Mu Zitan's face was blushing, and he didn't know what the two of them were so far apart just now, what was the exchange of eye contact.

However, it seems that the queen mother is also staring at Mu Zitan.

I don't know what the old temptress is going to do.

After such a delay, the woman had already jumped to the end, a fish leap, and then slowly fell in mid-air, really like a fairy descending to the earth, extremely beautiful, I don't know how to do it.

"Bizhu pays respects to the emperor, and wishes the emperor a long life." After speaking, Bizhu stood up.

But Chief Ye laughed loudly before calling everyone's souls back, "Bizhu is my beloved daughter, she is proud and arrogant, and no boy in the tribe is worthy of her. No, thinking about the emperor, there are so many talents." , I’m here to ask for a son-in-law.”

While speaking, Chief Ke Ye looked at the emperor with his eyes.
