Allure of the World Chapter 136: Birthday feast

The most common concubines in the palace are to be favored and disfavored. Liu Hui is very smart, she has never been favored, and she has never fallen out of favor.

She's more of a lady in the palace. She is the smartest and wisest person, and the person who can accompany Ling Chen farthest.

Ling Chen's life is too exciting, he wants too much, and they can't control it. Lan Ling thought of herself, she had always wanted to get Ling Chen's love, but she was always scarred, even to the point of being completely broken.

Dragon Boat Festival, dumplings, eggs and realgar wine were distributed in each palace.

No ministers were entertained in the palace, but the emperor had dinner with the concubines of the harem.

Lan Ling did not attend. Yang Shu came over and invited her once, but she didn't go over the excuse of being unwell.

Lan Ling cooks herself in the small kitchen. She hasn't cooked for a long time. They cooked all vegetarian dishes, and asked Xiao Guizi to dig out a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine made last autumn under the jujube tree.

Jixiang frowned and sighed as he cleaned up the table.

"What's wrong with you?" Lan Ling asked.

Jixiang looked at Lan Ling and said for a while, "Niangniang, this slave has been holding back a few words for a long time. Please don't blame me if I said something wrong."

"Go ahead." Lan Ling was pouring the osmanthus wine into everyone's cups.

Auspicious said: "Niangniang, you are the queen now, why don't you go to the banquet in the palace? Now in everyone's heart, the queen's seat seems to be the concubine Huigui. The emperor is also very good to you, why can't you bow your head? , to show favor to the emperor. Do you know that life in this palace is good or bad depending on the emperor's words."

Lan Ling smiled, she understood Jixiang's concerns.

"Let's all come together, don't divide the superiority or inferiority, let's be lively together." Lan Ling took a sip of wine with a cup.

"Auspicious, I may be different from others. I just want to get the emperor's sincere love, and the rest will be distributed to others, so as to balance."

Auspicious said: "But the empress can clearly have both the emperor's favor and the control of the harem."

"After all, this is the palace, and he is the emperor. If the emperor favors only one person, it will definitely affect the previous dynasty." Lan Ling said slowly.

Auspicious knelt down and kowtowed: "The servant understands, it is the servant who is short-sighted and thinks too little. Please forgive the servant."

Lan Ling pulled her up: "You are also for my own good. I just want to live a simple life. If I have the responsibility of Concubine Huigui now, how can I live so freely? We each get what we need, don't we? Better? Come on, let's get drunk today."

Jixiang said: "My grandmother once said that there is a kind of woman who, even at the age of 80, has always been a girl at heart. She is very affectionate and sexual, simple and lovely, and she is talking about the temperament of the empress. The slave only understands it today. "

Lan Ling smiled, "This is just an excuse for my incompetence. I don't have the ability to both like myself and satisfy everyone, so that's all I can do!"

Everyone had a good drink, it's been a long time since the palace was so lively.

On the second day, Liu Hui arrived at Wang Kang Palace.

"The Empress, this is the item to be prepared for the emperor's birthday banquet. The Empress will take a look at what else to prepare?" Liu Hui asked.

Lan Ling glanced at him: "The emperor asked you to preside over his birthday banquet, so you don't have to ask me."

Liu Huidao: "It used to be because the concubine was in poor health. Now that the empress has recovered, the concubines should be handed over."

Lan Ling smiled and said, "It's the emperor who let you preside over the harem, not me. You don't need to tell me this. Besides, you manage the harem very well. At least better than me. Don't worry, I really don't care. These." Lan Ling reached out and shook Liu Hui's hand.

"You also know that I'm not good at dealing with these trivial things. Besides, I don't like it myself. You can share the emperor's worries and let me rest in peace. I really appreciate you." Lan Ling sincerely Liu Hui said.

She and Liu Hui don't have a big holiday. There was a misunderstanding because of Liu Hui's child slipping tires. After the misunderstanding was resolved, the two did not have a deep friendship. Liu Hui doesn't have a deep relationship with anyone. She is a very smart woman.

Lan Ling treats her with respect. Liu Hui also knew that Lan Ling was much simpler than Wen Heng and Guan Yue. Although in the harem, there can never be true love.

Ling Chen's birthday banquet was more lively than the Dragon Boat Festival. There were many people at the banquet. Except for Bai Shaoting and Jiang Rui, who were in Dayue Kingdom and Daxia Kingdom respectively, other court officials basically arrived.

Just after noon, Jixiang was anxious to put makeup on Lan Ling, Lan Ling smiled and said, "Although I am attending the banquet today, the makeup does not need to be too gorgeous."

Ling Chen has never been to Wang Kang Palace since he came back last time. Lan Ling knew he was angry.

The child in Wen Heng's womb is not his. Although he and Fan Xing have an indiscernible grievance, this kind of thing is really impossible for Ling Chen, who is arrogant and arrogant. Besides, he is the emperor. That's why he would say nothing about her and Ling Feng.

But he silently accepted Xiao Yan as a concubine. Is it also politics?

Lan Ling felt a thorn in his heart.

She changed into a bright red feather brocade dress today. Lan Ling rarely wears such gorgeous clothes.

The fair skin makes her lips red and teeth white, and she is very charming. She is the queen, but she is the youngest among the concubines in the harem, although her state of mind has gone through vicissitudes.

The weather in May, flowers are red and willows green. Pretty flowers.

Ling Shuang came early.

"Sister-in-law Ling, you are so beautiful! You are even more charming after not seeing you for so many days!" Ling Shuang looked up and down at Lan Ling, extremely envious. .

Lan Lingdao: "You are beautiful, I am old."

Ling Shuang is dressed in a lake green dress, charming and charming.

"In the matter of Jiang Rui, your imperial brother has already agreed. He just wants Jiang Rui to make a contribution and make a career in order to be eligible to marry you. Jiang Rui also means this." Lan Ling held Ling Shuang's hand and said.

Ling Shuang blushed, "I understand. Jiang Rui told me."

The two walked hand in hand to the Mingguang Hall.

Ling Chen and the ministers have arrived.

He was sitting there, whispering something to Liu Hui.

The chamberlain sings: "The Queen is here!"

Everyone got up and gave a salute.

Lan Ling saw Ling Chen glanced at her, and turned to one side again.

Lan Ling walked up to him and sat down.

The person sitting on her right side turned out to be Dou Wan'er. The woman who tried every means to marry Ling Chen, but was killed by Ling Chen's father and brother.

She was as quiet as water at this time, with a faint smile on her face. How would this foreign woman feel at this time?

I heard that she didn't see anyone when she first came back from Dayueguo, and she went on a hunger strike. Do you figure it out now?

Below Dou Wan'er sat a strange woman with fair skin and bright eyes like stars. Lan Ling understands that it must be Xin Na and the concubine Xiao Yan returning.

Ling Chen only spoke to Concubine Hui Gui on his left, and talked with all the ministers.

He's still angry. Lan Ling wanted to be angry when he saw how indifferent he was to her, and remembered that today was his birthday, so he endured it.

Although he ignored her, he served her vegetables. She filled her plate silently.

He is dressed in bright yellow brocade clothes, with a smile in his slender phoenix eyes, and he seems to be in a good mood.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone stood up and paid tribute to the emperor's long life.

He held the cup aloft and accepted everyone's blessing, laughing so loudly.

Although there are wars now, these wars have not affected the people, and the people still live and work in peace and contentment.

The outside is full of flowers, and the Mingguang Hall is warm.

Lan Ling stood beside him, smelling the faint smell of green sandalwood, suddenly tilted his head and glanced at him.

The man standing beside him has a handsome face, eyes like stars, a high nose bridge, eyebrows like swords, and a bright yellow robe is elegant and luxurious.

This man turned out to be my man. Lan Ling looked at him, kind and unfamiliar.

Everyone scrambled to toast the emperor, but Dou Wan'er raised the glass and said loudly to Lan Ling: "Empress Empress, I heard that Empress's father was also killed by the emperor, I wonder how the empress can face the emperor calmly and still be so loving? The concubine really wants to learn something."

As soon as these words came out, everyone who heard them changed their faces.
