Dressed as a paranoid emperor's white moonlight

Chapter 451
The Empress Dowager waived Li Yu'er's courtesy, but she did not waive others' courtesy.

The concubines and concubines in the palace saluted Li Yu'er in unison, saying in unison: "May the concubine Jin be well, and the concubine Jin will be blessed."

This salutation is much more powerful than when I faced the imperial concubine and empress just now.

After all, no one dared to relax in front of the empress dowager.

Li Yu'er's discomfort was only for a moment.

She thought, maybe she needs to get used to such occasions, after all, she won't stop at her current position.

Li Yu'er steadied herself, and after accepting the "excuse me", she looked at Yan Xiu.

"All sit down."

"Yes." Everyone agreed, but they didn't dare to take their seats casually.

Just kidding, the emperor's noble concubine, De concubine and concubine Jin have not yet sat down, who dares to take the seat first regardless of their dignity?
"Concubine Jin, please sit beside me."

Yan Xiu stretched out a hand towards Li Yu'er.

The queen mother heard it, her face was still kind, and she didn't say anything.

That's what it means by default.

Yan Xiyue pursed her lips tightly, and tightly clenched her hands hidden in her long sleeves.

The seat next to the emperor was reserved for Concubine Jin!
She is a concubine!
Yan Xiu took Li Yu'er's hand and asked her to sit beside him.

The queen mother smiled and said, "What are you doing standing up? Sit down, the banquet is about to begin."

Yan Xiyue and Concubine De took their seats in turn.

Everyone was finally able to sit down.

Before the New Year banquet, Zhang Jiaojiao came.

"Shunyuan Empress" echoed outside the hall, her long-pitched voice made everyone look over.

Unlike the past, when she always liked to wear simple and elegant long skirts, Zhang Jiaojiao also wore a slightly festive color today. The light pink long skirt was still made of expensive fabric that looked like water patterns were shaking when walking.

Zhang Jiaojiao wore more jewelry than usual on her head, and her earlobes also wore long earrings that looked like water droplets.

"The emperor's blessings are equal to the sky, and the empress dowager's mother is blessed and safe."

"Concubine Zhuang is auspicious, Concubine De is auspicious, and Concubine Jin is auspicious."

Zhang Jiaojiao first saluted to those sitting at the top one by one, and then turned to the concubines and saluted together.

Her posture was light, her face with light makeup did not show the slightest sense of shame after coming late, and she saluted gracefully.

The one who should salute in return, the one who should salute to her, salute.

After Zhang Jiaojiao finished these things in a serious manner, she exchanged a look with Li Yu'er and sat in her seat.

Coincidentally, her seat was naturally in front of Cui Nanzhen and Cui Xiuyuan.

In other words, Meng Yu'an's position is only one Cui Xiuyuan away from Zhang Jiaojiao.

Such a position arrangement made Meng Yu'an feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The annual banquet started with singing and dancing. At first, everyone couldn't let go, but after watching the singing and dancing performance, the scene gradually became more natural.

Yan Xiyue held a wine glass and said auspicious words.

With her in the lead, everyone said New Year's greetings in different ways amidst the sound of singing and dancing.

The atmosphere gradually warmed up.

For the song performance, all palaces are prepared, because it is a family banquet, and there are also concubines who are good at singing.

"She dances really well."

Li Yu'er was watching very seriously.

"Yu'er likes it?" Yan Xiu asked in a low voice.

Li Yu'er nodded: "It's also a special occasion today, otherwise the concubine would not know that the sisters in the palace are all versatile."

Like Lu Jieyu from Chuxiu Palace, a water sleeve dance can be said to amaze the audience.

Meng Yu'an is always finding fault, but her ability to paint while dancing is also a must.

What surprised Li Yuer the most was the timid Liu Jieyu Liu Zilan, who played a piece of pipa to the full applause.

Yan Xiu was thoughtful.

He was thinking, if Yu'er liked these things, then he would acquiesce in holding more banquets in the palace, so that Yu'er could enjoy their performances.

Then he shook his head again, dismissing the thought.

It's annoying to have so many people in the palace, so let's follow the previous plan, find the right time, and give them a chance to leave the palace.

Eating, drinking, watching songs and dances and some performances, the time passed quickly.

Just when the atmosphere was very harmonious, Li Mo, who was wearing armor, stood outside Luanxin Palace, and wanted to report something to Yan Xiu.

Shen Quan got the emperor's order and went to invite Li Mo to come in.

"Why did big brother come?"

Li Yu'er frowned slightly, and looked at Aoba who followed her.

Coincidentally, when she looked this way, she happened to see Zhuang Siyi who was sitting beside Concubine Zhuang and serving Concubine Zhuang.

Zhuang Siyi didn't wear a veil today, she sat there quietly, her eyes would sometimes look at the performance in the field, but she was more concerned with taking care of Concubine Zhuang next to her.

Such tranquility was very different from her previous performance every time she saw Zhuang Siyi.

It was this glance that gave Li Yu'er a strange feeling in her heart.

At this time, Aoba came over.

After listening to what Li Yuer said, Qingye calmly helped Li Yuer refill the fruit tea she could drink, and then stood back.

Even if it fell into the eyes of others, it was just that Li Yu'er wanted to drink tea and asked the maid beside her to help her refill the tea.

The song and dance performance was still going on, and Shen Quan led Yan Xiu to the front.

Li Mo only bowed his hands to the empress dowager and several empresses who were sitting in the high positions, then approached Yan Xiu and whispered his purpose of coming.

"Xiliang country?"

Yan Xiu lowered his voice: "Is it a man or a woman?"

Li Mo also lowered his voice: "A few people came from Xiliang Kingdom, all of them are dressed as businessmen, leading many dancers, and the leader is a young man who looks very young."

A group of Xiliang people have already arrived outside the palace.

Li Mo did not let them wait outside the palace, but found a place to house them.

But because of their special identities, Li Mo could only choose to come in and report at this time.

Yan Xiu clapped his hands.

The singing in the hall quickly stopped.

Yan Xiu raised his voice and told about the envoy from Xiliang Kingdom.

Li Yu'er was not surprised when she heard what Li Mo said, but everyone who had just heard about it had different reactions.

Zhang Jiaojiao remained aloof, with no surprise on her face or doubts in her eyes, as if she had already known about it.

Maybe it's a system prompt.

Li Yu'er only took one look and then looked away. The person she actually wanted to observe was Zhuang Siyi.

When Li Mo had just said something, she observed Zhuang Siyi. At this moment, Li Mo had already left the main hall to find the envoys from Xiliang Kingdom, and was about to lead them into the hall.

In the chorus of the "Xiliang Envoy", Li Yu'er clearly caught the abnormality in Zhuang Siyi's eyebrows.

A thought flashed through Li Yu'er's mind.

Li Yu'er's eyes twinkled slightly, and she pursed her lips.

She thought that there was a reason for Jiaojiao to appear, and she did not believe that Jiaojiao would attend such an occasion just because of the reason that "concubines in the palace must attend the New Year Banquet".

Before, she also had a narcissistic guess because she was going to be promoted, and Jiaojiao didn't want to miss her happy event.

But after hearing that the envoys from the Xiliang Kingdom rushed into the palace to congratulate the New Year without saying hello in advance, Li Yu'er thought about all the things that happened before, and suddenly had a guess.

It was speculation about Zhuang Siyi's identity.

There are 12 people in the Xiliang envoys, and the leader is indeed as Li Mo said, a young man who looks very young.

"My surname is Yin, and my single name has a rhyme. He is a businessman, and he is carrying a letter from the Lord of Xiliang Kingdom. The so-called loyalty is the only way to join in the excitement when there is a family banquet in the palace. Hope the Emperor Haihan."

Yin Yun smiled and said very polite words, but reached into her bosom, and took out a sealed letter.

The envelope bears the imprint of Xiliang Kingdom.

Li Mo knows it, and Shenquan knows it too.

So, Shenquan held the letter and sent it to Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu opened it in public.

It is indeed a letter written by the King of Xiliang Kingdom.

The reason why Yan Xiu was sure was because he had seen the handwriting of the king of Xiliang Kingdom.At the end of this letter, there is also a seal specially stamped by the ruler of the Xiliang Kingdom with a jade seal, presumably because he is afraid that he will not believe it.

He read the content in his heart at a glance, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Yin is polite. Anyone who comes is a guest. Come and add a seat."

Yan Xiu first ordered someone to add a few tables, which were placed very close to the head, so that the concubines sitting in the palace would not be next to each other, making each other uncomfortable.

"Yin Yun thanked the emperor."

Before Yin Yun took her seat, she pointed to the eight dancers who were dressed in Xiliang clothes behind her, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, these girls are very good at dancing in Xiliang. In order to meet the emperor and dance for the emperor."

"I wonder if the emperor is willing to give them a chance?"

The man spoke softly, with a sincere smile on his handsome face.

When Li Yu'er met that person's eyes, she felt like she had seen him somewhere.

She lowered her head slowly and recalled carefully, but found that none of the faces in her memory could match Yin Yun in front of her.

Maybe she had seen it before and forgot because of amnesia.

Li Yuer thought so.

"allow."

Yin Yun achieved her goal and sat down with a smile.

After he sat down, he only needed to turn his face slightly to see the emperor and queen mother sitting on the first seat.He looked at everyone politely with smiling eyes, paused for a moment on Zhuang Siyi's face from a distance, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

From the moment Yin Yun appeared, Zhuang Siyi became a little unnatural.

Li Yuer noticed it, and Zhang Jiaojiao noticed it too.

Yan Xiu retracted his eyes without any trace, and approached Li Yu'er. From the perspective of others, it looked like the emperor was talking privately with Concubine Jin.

"Yu'er don't always look at other people, look at me more."

A faint fragrance floated by, and Li Yu'er's earlobe was faintly rosy because of Yan Xiu's breath sprayed on it when he spoke.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is just..."

"There are many people in the palace paying attention to Yu'er, don't worry, I have already ordered people to watch her."

Li Yu'er's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her big black eyes were full of surprise.

"Today's annual banquet is Yu'er's happy event, and I will not allow others to spoil it. Yin Yun's arrival is not a bad thing, so please don't be nervous."

"Xiliang dance is very difficult. Since Yu'er likes it, she should appreciate it."

Under the table, Yan Xiu gently held Li Yu'er's hand to comfort her.

Li Yu'er blinked her eyes: "Okay, then the concubine will enjoy the song performance."

"It should have been like this a long time ago." Yan Xiu smiled indulgently, and sat up straight again.

The two people in the high position interacted, and the people in the temple, as long as they were not blind, could see it.

Yin Yun suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for taking the liberty to ask if the fairy-like concubine next to the Emperor is the empress who is pregnant with the third child as described on the Lingshi?"

Among the singing and dancing, Yin Yun's voice was not too loud, but there were only a few people in the palace who paid attention to singing and dancing, and there were more people who wanted to know the purpose of the envoy from Xiliang Kingdom and what Yin Yun was saying to the emperor.

Therefore, the concubines and concubines who sat in the front all heard what Yin Yun said.

"What spirit stone?"

"What triplet?"

"Isn't Concubine Jin pregnant with twins?"

The person who was most surprised and couldn't control herself was Concubine Wei Wei Qingyi, she asked three times in a voiceless voice.

It was also fortunate that Wei Qingyi asked these three times, those Jieyu nobles and beauties who wanted to know what happened but didn't hear it, all heard it.

The Xiliang dancers just finished their last move.

The sound of the music just stopped, and Wei Qingyi's voice spread to every corner of the main hall of Fengluan Palace.

Hearing Wei Qingyi's rhetorical question, Yin Yun looked at her strangely.

"My lady, are you blind? As a Xiliang native, I have heard about this matter. You are a concubine in the palace of the Dasheng Dynasty. How can you not hear the voices of the people?"

Concubine Wei is not the only one who cannot hear the voices of the people.

But after listening to Yin Yun's words, others dare not mention it even if they have doubts.

Wei Qingyi's face turned red and turned pale. She wanted to refute and get angry, but when Yin Yun spoke to her, she used honorifics, and she didn't even have a reason to get angry.

What's more, this person is an envoy from Xiliang, and what he is holding in his hand is a letter from the ruler of Xiliang Kingdom. Concubine Wei used her only brain to deduce that this person's identity is not simple.

It's not just what he said, it's just a businessman.

Wei Qingyi adjusted her emotions and tried her best to look gentle and dignified. She said softly, "Young Master Yin misunderstood, I was just too surprised."

"There is no such thing as Concubine Jin being pregnant with three children in the palace. The imperial doctor's previous diagnosis only said that Concubine Jin is pregnant with twins."

After Wei Qingyi finished speaking, she looked at Yan Xiu who was sitting in a high position with affectionate eyes: "Your Majesty, do you think so?"

Yan Xiu expressionless: "No."

Wei Qingyi was choked again, her hard-working expression soon cracked.

Fortunately, there were outsiders around, so Yan Xiu still gave Wei Qingyi some face: "It's understandable that Concubine Wei didn't know, I didn't disclose the fact that Concubine Jin was pregnant with a third child."

After Yan Xiu finished speaking, he looked at the Queen Mother.

The queen mother nodded with a smile: "Yes, Aijia means that it is hard for Concubine Jin to be pregnant with twins or triplets. Concubine Jin has been exhausted for several days after the news of Concubine Jin's pregnancy with twins was announced to the Sixth Palace."

"The Ai family didn't want Concubine Jin to be troubled again, so they suppressed this matter."

Wei Qingyi didn't want to say a word.

There are not a few people in the hall who have the same mood as Wei Qingyi.

It turned out that both the emperor and the queen mother knew that Concubine Jin was pregnant with triplets and not twins, but they did not allow them in the harem to know about it.

What to say for fear of tiring Concubine Jin.

Is it because he is afraid of exhausting Concubine Jin, or is he afraid that they will attack Concubine Jin out of jealousy and unwillingness after hearing about it?
　It's Monday, and the activity level has been refreshed.

　　Good night.
