Chapter 386: Presenting Phoenix Dance to the Sky and Qin's Scheming
Mrs. Situ and Lin Ruoxi rode horses to the gate of the Imperial Palace of Nanjiang Kingdom. Most of the family carriages of major families and officials above the third rank were parked here, so that they could wait until the ceremony to celebrate Empress Wu's birthday began.
These people can enter the palace through the palace gate.
Lin Ruoxi helped Mrs. Situ get out of the carriage. At this moment, Lin Ruoxi saw the Li family's carriage from Prince Mo's Mansion parked near the Situ family's carriage.
Princess Izumo saw Lin Ruoxi and waved to her gently. Lin Ruoxi responded with a smile, and then the two of them looked at each other, smiled, and nodded.
Mrs. Situ whispered in Lin Ruoxi's ear: "Ruoxi, since when did your relationship with Princess Izumo become so good?"
Lin Ruoxi thought for a while: "Mother, my daughter doesn't remember either, but maybe when we both hated the same person, we resonated and got along well." [
Of course Mrs. Situ knew who Lin Ruoxi said she hated, and she also hated that person and wished that person would die during the birthday celebration.
Mrs. Situ smiled tenderly, glanced at Luo Xue beside Lin Ruoxi, and said in Lin Ruoxi's ear: "This girl was given to you by Princess Izuyun. Do you think she is reliable?"
Lin Ruoxi said assuredly: "I think this Luoxue, like Xue Yuan, is a person worthy of our trust!"
As soon as Mrs. Situ heard Xue Yuan's name, she quickly looked at Lin Ruoxi's expression. She saw that Lin Ruoxi did not show any sadness and still looked kind and cheerful. Was she really relieved? Or did she have a way to avenge Xue Yuan?
What's on your mind?
"The palace doors opened, and the ministers and family members entered the palace to participate in the Queen's birthday celebration."
As the palace door opened wide, the ministers and family members entered the palace one after another. Princess Izumo walked a few steps quickly and came to Lin Ruoxi's side, smiling at her.
"Ruoxi, your outfit looks beautiful today!"
Lin Ruoxi was wearing a goose-yellow dress today. The collar was made of white rabbit fur. The cuffs and skirt were also embroidered with white rabbit fur. She looked very warm. And she had her hair combed with auspicious clouds.
Lin Ruoxi's hair was in a bun with an emerald green hairpin inserted diagonally between the hairpins. The tail end of the hairpin was hung with golden tassels. Lin Ruoxi walked with lotus flowers step by step, reflecting her delicate face even more brightly.
A few points.
Lin Ruoxi held up the hairpin on her bun and glanced at Princess Izumo: "Thank you for the compliment, Princess. What Princess wore today is even more beautiful than a fairy!"
"Is it true? Why can't I feel it?" Princess Izumo's red face made her face even more gorgeous.
Today Princess Izumo is wearing a long white dress, with a silver-white nephrite incense belt tied around her waist, and a jade pendant with white jade and pink tassels hanging on the incense belt, which looks very special. 13v.
Behind her was a white cloak with patterns of auspicious clouds embroidered on it, and the cloak swaying in the wind was a bit more elegant.
Her face is slightly powdered, and her long dark hair hangs down behind her, giving her a somewhat classical and elegant feminine temperament.
Lin Ruoxi nodded: "Izumo, I think you will be the most beautiful today."
Princess Izumo smiled: "Maybe, but I am not as beautiful as Ruoxi in the United States! Besides, even if everyone thinks we are beautiful, once that old witch comes out, our beauty will probably be
She will be suppressed."
Lin Ruoxi could tell that Princess Izuyun was mocking Empress Wu, because Empress Wu was in the United States and she was close to the old lady. Even in the United States, a woman couldn't stand the passage of time. Seeing these warblings and swallows
As a young woman, Empress Wu would certainly hate herself for not being decades younger, so how could she feel that she was more beautiful than all the other beauties?
But Lin Ruoxi said perfunctorily: "Yes, that old witch will definitely outshine all other beauties. How can we people compare to her beauty?"
After Lin Ruoxi finished speaking, Princess Izumo and her looked at each other and laughed out loud. Mrs. Situ looked at them with a puzzled face: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?"
Princess Izumo said: "Mrs. Situ, I told a joke just now, and Ruo Xi laughed like this."[
"Oh, then after the Queen's birthday celebration, how about you come to our Pingyang Marquis Mansion and tell me a few jokes?"
Princess Izumo nodded: "Of course!"
Lin Ruoxi had a feeling that Mrs. Situ took the initiative to invite Princess Izuyun to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. There might be other reasons. After thinking about it, she had a guess. Could it be to find a wife for her sixth brother Situ Bin?
Already?
She glanced at Mrs. Situ worriedly and sighed in her heart: Mother, you don't know yet, right? There is only one person in Princess Izumo's heart, and that person is Lin Jingxuan. Apart from Lin Jingxuan, I'm afraid no one else can do it.
Princess Izumo has a place in her heart.
The ministers and their family members walked for almost an hour from entering the palace to the Golden Palace. When they arrived at the Golden Palace, the ministers and their family members successively came to their seats and sat down.
Because the female family members were sitting in a row, Princess Izumo and Lin Ruoxi's seats were on one side. In order to be closer to Lin Ruoxi, Princess Izumo changed seats with the daughter of the Lin family who was next to Lin Ruoxi, and sat next to Lin Ruoxi.
.
By chance, Empress Wu was wearing a bright red phoenix robe with a long tail and a phoenix totem, and a golden phoenix crown on her head. The phoenix crown was decorated with dazzling jewels. Next to her was the emperor of Southern Xinjiang, who was wearing a golden dragon robe.
, the emperor is still handsome and has an imperial air all over his body.
Empress Wu and Emperor Nanjiang walked side by side and sat down on the golden phoenix chairs and dragon chairs.
The ministers stood up and kowtowed: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Queen! Thousands of years live the Queen!"
The emperor said first: "All the ministers are of equal status!"
Empress Wu said: "All of you are of equal status!"
The ministers said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, the Queen!"
Immediately afterwards, the ministers said: "I wish the Queen eternal youth and good fortune!"
Empress Wu stood up, waved her broad sleeves, and said with a smile: "Thank you, dear friends, please take a seat!"
Empress Wu's beautiful face was filled with joy as she sat on the phoenix chair.
At this time, singing and dancing began. Concubine Rou, who was currently favored by the emperor in the palace, choreographed a song and dance, and led the singing and dancing girls to dance a song in person to celebrate Empress Wu's birthday.
Seeing the sound of singing and dancing, Princess Izumo spoke to Lin Ruoxi.
"Ruoxi, I'm going to present the Phoenix Dance in the Sky Qin to the Queen in a moment. Are you ready?"
Lin Ruoxi smiled and nodded: "That's natural. If I wasn't completely sure, I wouldn't go into battle myself!"
"Okay, that's good. I hope Jingyu can perform well when the time comes!"
Having said this, Princess Izumo glanced at Lin Jingxuan who was sitting opposite. Today he was still dressed in white clothes, with a white cloak behind him, and he looked as handsome as white snow.
Lin Ruoxi saw Princess Izumo's thoughts, but felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart. She asked softly: "Izumo, if Marquis Jingyu has a woman he likes and he doesn't accept you, will you still be like this?
Do you like him?"[
Princess Izumo smiled with a bit of bitterness: "Ruoxi, how could I not know that Jingyu actually has another woman in his heart, but when I first saw him, I already fell in love with him deeply.
I fell in love with him, and from then on I decided that no matter whether he likes me or not, I will always like him like this. Even if he doesn't love me, I will still wait..." The disciples are ready.
Lin Ruoxi has never seen a woman who is more stubborn and stubborn than herself, but these words spoken by Princess Izumo really touched her.
She glanced at Lin Jingxuan, only to find that Lin Jingxuan's eyes were scanning her body from time to time. Lin Ruoxi quickly lowered her eyes, raised her wine glass and took a sip.
The mellow aroma of the wine penetrated her heart and spleen, making her heart feel anesthetized and a little more comfortable.
That's right, she must have seen and thought wrong. In her heart, Tuobatian is the only one. I'm sorry, Jingxuan. It's all my fault. I'm afraid of hurting you and letting you down.
Princess Izumo stretched out her hand and gently touched Lin Ruoxi's arm: "Ruoxi, the singing and dancing are over. I'm about to present the Fengwu Cangqiong Qin. Are you ready?"
Lin Ruoxi raised her eyes slightly, looked at Princess Izumo, and nodded lightly.
Princess Izumo was a little worried and said: "Looking at you, it seems that you feel uncomfortable somewhere. Why don't you present the Phoenix Dance Cangqiong Qin to Empress Wu and let me go on stage to compete?"
Lin Ruoxi shook her head lightly: "It doesn't matter to me. If you go on stage to compete, it will only arouse Empress Wu's suspicion. Okay..." She lightly touched Princess Izumo's arm: "You can go on stage now, I have already
Ready!"
Only then did the Princess of Izumo stand up with confidence, and personally held the Fengwu Cangqiong Guqin to the middle of the hall, and said gently: "I heard that the Queen loves Baoqin very much, so I hereby prepare a Guqin for the Queen. I hope
The Empress accepts it with joy and wishes the Empress long happiness and good health!"
Princess Izumo holds the Fengwu Cangqiong Qin in front of her with both hands. It has a vermilion body, crystal clear ice cicada silk strings, and five different colors of precious gems on the body. The whole piano looks priceless and extremely precious.
.
Among all living beings, there are ministers and kings who know the treasure harp, and some have recognized the true value of this harp.
"This harp is the Phoenix Dance in the Sky harp!"
"Yes, it is the famous Fengwu Cangqiong Qin in the world. I have also seen a picture of this Qin!"
"God, they all say that this precious piano is a rare treasure that is rare to find in the world. Princess Izumo is really thoughtful, and it is also a blessing to the Queen, a blessing!"
Empress Wu stood up calmly, and first glanced at the Zhennu official, who nodded towards Empress Wu. Empress Wu then smiled gently at Princess Izumo and said: "Princess is really serious, I can accept it."
What a blessing to receive such a precious gift!”
Princess Izumo said gently: "This is what a minister should do!"
Empress Wu did not let anyone take the piano, but looked at Lin Ruoxi who had been drinking sake with her eyes lowered and said: "I have always heard that Miss Situ has superb piano skills. I also want to see Miss Situ's piano skills. I don't know.
Can Miss please come on stage and play a song?"
Lin Ruoxi's lowered eyes became dark: Empress Wu, it seems that my guess was correct. You still fell into the trap I set so quickly and invited me to perform on stage! Very good, I will definitely perform for you.
