When it was around 10:00 pm, Leng Yunge was ready to go out with Ying Xue. However, she saw Madame Lin holding Leng Cangyuan's hand and coming to her side.
"Greetings, Father and Mother. Her daughter had just tidied up everything and was about to go to her mother's room to look for her. She did not expect her father and mother to come over first.”Leng Yun Ge nodded slightly and said with a smile.
"Okay, since you're done packing, let's set off. Don't delay the time.”Madame Lin pursed her lips and smiled. She was wearing a red robe embroidered with rosy clouds and pheasant patterns. The collar was decorated with Ruyi patterns, and the edges were embroidered with gold rust. There were two dragons facing each other at the waist. This was the exclusive clothing of a first-grade imperial wife. The workmanship was excellent, making Madame Lin dignified and elegant.
Leng Yun Ge didn't have any title, so there were no rules on what to wear. As long as the clothes were exquisitely made, it was fine.
When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the manor, they saw Leng Yunxi already standing beside the carriage.
She was wearing a pink satin dress decorated with rusty hibiscus flowers. There was a colorful chain around her waist that was strung with many treasures. It was gorgeous and dazzling.
The outer layer of a cream-colored brocade robe covered the magnificence of the inner skirt. Her slender waist was not enough to be held. She tied a piece of colorful brocade inlaid with exquisite jade, and her jade-like hands were also dyed with pink hibiscus flowers.
Turning back to her beautiful face, her jade face was covered with light makeup and beautiful shadows. She was unconsciously willing to give it all. Her big glass eyes were sparkling, and her eyes were like obsidian stones.
Her red lips were bright without a touch, as if they could tempt her to commit a crime. Her ears were adorned with a ring that made a sound like a curtain, shining brightly. Her beautiful hair was gently tied up with a slanted ponytail. There was an exquisite hanging hairpin on it, and there were butterflies, glass, and other jewelry ornaments in the middle. Below it was a row of exquisite and exquisite gorgeous curtains. Her movements flashed with a dynamic and luxurious charm, as if she was a city-toppling beauty, as if she was floating like a fairy.
Seeing her like this, Leng Yunge smiled coldly in her heart. It seemed that Mo Qianchen's ability to do things was indeed not bad.
It was no wonder that she did not go out with her. The shopkeeper must have said that it was her custom-made dress. Therefore, Leng Yunxi thought that it was her dress and was afraid that she would question it, so he came out first.
Leng Yunxi nodded slightly and bowed to Leng Cangyuan and Madame Lin.
"We're all family. There's no need for so much etiquette. Get on the carriage and set off.”Leng Cangyuan furrowed his brows and was a little displeased.
"Yun Xi's outfit is so familiar.”Leng Yunge sized up Leng Yunxi and said.
Leng Yunxi felt a little unnatural and said awkwardly," Oh, really? My mother got someone to customize this for me.”
"Oh, speaking of which, I went to get the clothes I prepared for the palace today, but that shop owner was really despicable. He actually said that it was snatched away by another person with high status and power.”Leng Yunge frowned and pouted. She seemed to be intentionally and unintentionally saying this.
"Is that so? Who would be so bold as to snatch your clothes from you?”Leng Yunxi squeezed out a smile and said.
"Who knows? Forget it, don't mention it.”
Leng Yunxi was secretly delighted. It seemed that her guess was right. This dress was indeed the dress that Leng Yun Ge originally wanted to wear in the palace.
"Yunxi is really beautiful in this dress.”Madame Lin sat opposite Leng Yunxi and smiled at him.
The carriage slowly headed towards the palace. Along the way, the four of them chatted about their daily life. Leng Cangyuan was very protective of Madame Lin and Leng Yunge, but he was cold and indifferent to Leng Yunxi. This made her, who had always been the center of attention, very unhappy.
Because the Prime Minister's Residence was close to the Imperial Palace, the carriage took about an hour to reach the palace gates.
After alighting from the carriage, he saw the Imperial Palace in front of him. It had a golden roof, a red door, and golden glazed tiles that shone brightly under the sun, giving off a solemn feeling.
After a while, a eunuch came forward and bowed to Leng Cang Yuan. Then, he led them to the main hall of the banquet.
Leng Cangyuan and Madame Lin walked side by side in front, while Leng Yunge, Leng Yunxi, and their maids followed closely behind.
Walking along the corridor, he saw a phoenix spreading its wings on the eaves carved from sandalwood. The floating windows carved from green tiles and the wall panels made of jade were luxurious and solemn.
Because it was the new year, the palace was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers. The atmosphere of the new year was full. However, behind this celebration, how much blood and conspiracy were hidden?
Leng Yunge was already very familiar with the Imperial Palace. Moreover, she did not care about all of this because although this was the center of power, it was still a hell that ate people without spitting out their bones. No matter how much glory and wealth there were, she would not blink. Therefore, she did not care. She just calmly followed behind.
Leng Yunxi, on the other hand, was filled with curiosity about the magnificent palace in front of him. As he looked left and right, his eyes could not help but emit a desire for power.
The eunuch led them through many corridors and finally arrived at the palace where the banquet was held-the Yaoguang Palace.
The Yaoguang Palace was the palace where the emperors of the past dynasties held large-scale banquets. At the top of the red vermilion door hung a signboard made of golden nanmu wood. On it were three large words,'Yaoguang Palace'.
When they entered the hall, the empress hadn't arrived yet. Many officials and noble ladies who had arrived earlier were standing in the hall, smiling and discussing something.
Leng Cangyuan and Madame Lin had just entered the door. When everyone saw them, they came forward one by one to greet them. His words were filled with the intention to curry favor.
Leng Cangyuan responded politely while Madame Lin stood at the side, smiling slightly and responding appropriately to everyone who came to greet her. She was dignified and elegant. Whether it was her words or her actions, she did not disappoint her identity as the wife of a first-grade imperial wife. Leng Cangyuan was very satisfied with her behavior.
"This must be the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Estate. She is indeed a national beauty and a heavenly fragrance.”A man in his forties pointed at Leng Yun Ge and said obsequiously.
"Yes, my daughter. My daughter is still young and doesn't know the rules.”Leng Cangyuan revealed a proud smile on his face. An outstanding person like Leng Yunge had indeed given him a lot of face.
"Not at all, not at all. Eldest Young Lady's every move is the demeanor of a young lady from a noble family. She can completely be compared to a princess in the palace.”
"That's right, Young Miss. She's elegant and refined. She's really a rare beauty.”
"And I heard that Miss Leng is good at singing and dancing. Prime Minister is really lucky to have such an outstanding daughter.”
Everyone was praising Leng Yun Ge. Leng Yun Ge stood humbly at the side and didn't say anything.
When Leng Cangyuan and Madame Lin heard this, they were overjoyed. They smiled and humbly responded to everyone.
Leng Yunxi saw that everyone was only surrounding Leng Yunge and did not notice her existence at all. He gritted his teeth in hatred and wished he could cut Leng Yunge into pieces.
Today, she was clearly dressed more outstandingly, but no one could see her. Could it be because she was a concubine's daughter and Leng Yun Ge was a legitimate daughter?
However, although she was about to go crazy from anger, she still maintained a smile on her face. She did not forget her mother's exhortation before she left. She had to seize this opportunity to make the empress and the princes look at her in a new light.
At this moment, the eunuch sang," The Ninth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince has arrived.”
Hearing this, everyone went over to greet the Ninth Prince Mo Qianchen and the Fourteenth Prince Mo Qiantan.
Leng Yun Ge stood in the crowd and looked at everything in front of him indifferently. She glanced sideways at Leng Yunxi, who was standing at the side. She had no interest in the two princes in front of her and was anxiously waiting for something.
She didn't like such occasions. Those polite words and fake smiles made her feel very tired.
Thus, she walked to her seat alone, sat down, and tasted the imperial wine placed in front of her. The wine in the palace was naturally good.
"Miss Leng, you're in a good mood."
Just as she was enjoying the wine alone, a familiar voice sounded in her ear.
She looked up and saw Mo Qianchen standing in front of her.
"It's rare for me to enter the palace, so I naturally can't miss such good wine.”Leng Yun Ge put down the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile.
"I didn't expect Miss Leng to be a wine lover. Just don't drink too much and miss the good show you arranged.”Mo Qianchen said, seemingly intentionally and unintentionally. He looked at her with deep and playful eyes.
"Of course. This is also due to the Ninth Prince's contribution, so how could I dare to miss it?”Leng Yunge was still smiling and looking straight at Mo Qianchen.
"What are Ninth Brother and Yun Ge talking about here? We chatted so happily."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yunge and Mo Qianchen turned to look in the direction of the voice at the same time. They saw Mo Qianyu and Leng Yunxi walking over side by side.
Were they so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even hear him coming?
"No, we just talked about some issues related to wine tasting. Miss Leng seems to be quite knowledgeable about this. I'm asking her for advice.”Mo Qianchen said.
Leng Yunge looked up at Leng Yunxi and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous. It seemed that the word 'love' could really make a person lose his mind. In front of so many people, he dared to pester Mo Qianyu so brazenly.
"Ninth Prince is too humble. I should be the one asking for advice.”Leng Yunge said. She didn't want to pay attention to Mo Qianyu.
As they were speaking, they heard the eunuch sing again," Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived."”
Instantly, the noisy shop fell silent. All of them knelt down and shouted," To supply the Emperor, the Empress, long live the Emperor, long live the Empress, long live the Empress.”
"Rise." A magnetic voice rang in her ears. Needless to say, this was the voice of the current Emperor, Mo Yichen.
Everyone stood up and returned to their respective seats.
"Sit down. Today is the first day of the new year. It's a good day. Don't be restrained.”Mo Yichen sat at the head of the table and smiled. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone replied and sat down.
The Empress, who was sitting beside the Emperor, also smiled and swept her gaze across the people below. When she saw Leng Yunxi, who was beside Leng Yunge, she could not help but turn pale with fright.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
