The country is the matchmaker!Princess Black Lotus is reborn as a poisonous concubine

Empress Xiao and Empress Dowager Xiao's aunt and nephew were sitting on the left and right sides of Emperor Pingren respectively.The three people at the main seat were concentrating on watching the show, while Mu Yun, who was sitting at the women's table below the stage, was observing them.

In the last life, due to the scandal of Third Young Master Xiao, the aunt and nephew in charge did not attend this boat banquet because they felt they had lost face. It seems that the matter of Third Young Master Xiao has made great progress, and the Xiao family's face can be saved. .

The huge cabin was brightly lit, and the roof was dotted with red palace lanterns. The roof was painted with gold powder to draw auspicious patterns, making it shine brightly.

The lively "Peach Fair" was being performed on the stage, and the maids presented snow lotus root, ice peach and other summer snacks to the nobles present.The snacks are served in exquisite and small porcelain plates, which is very convenient to eat.

The boat banquet of the Summer Cooling Festival was not as formal and solemn as the palace banquet held in Tianyang Palace on weekdays. Everyone listened to music and watched the opera comfortably, drank and talked, and felt very comfortable.Emperor Tairanin, who has always been known for his gentleness and kindness, even lowered his arrogance and invited his close ministers to discuss the highlights of the play.

Mu Yun scooped up a piece of ice peach and put it into her mouth. The tip of her tongue was instantly cool, which relieved the dryness in her heart.As for why she was upset, it was actually because the three women around her were too noisy.

Gao Ningxin was fine, Lu Yachun had to sit next to her, and Liu Baizhi happened to sit in front of her. When she turned around and saw the princess she was familiar with, she immediately joined the chattering camp.

"Let me tell you, my eldest brother is the most handsome man in Beijing!" Lu Yachun voted for Lu Yueze.

"You are a relative, this vote is invalid!" Gao Ningxin made a cross on his chest in protest, "I vote for General Cheng. He has accomplished such great things at a young age. He will definitely be an unparalleled general in the future!"

"Hmph," Lu Yachun sneered, "Then I will vote for Brother Sun Bingzhi. His talent and appearance are not inferior to others. It is said that he will soon be promoted to the third rank of minister. Among the people you mentioned, who is as talented as him?"

"Since Princess Lu has given up her vote for Prince Lu, I will make up for it. With both civil and military skills, wisdom and courage, the position of the most beautiful man in the capital must belong to Prince Lu." Liu Baizhi rolled up her sleeves, clenched her fists, and punched the chicken. Cheer up Lu Yueze like blood.

Yes, the three of them each have their own support, and if they can't tell the difference for a while, they can only drag Mu Yun into the water.

Gao Ningxin puffed out her cheeks and asked Mu Yun after holding her breath: "Your Highness, tell me quickly, who are you voting for?"

Mu Yun squinted her eyes and thought seriously, "If I have to vote, I will vote for my second brother."

Gao Ningxin and Lu Yachun's eyes widened at the same time, and they whispered at the same time: "Second prince? Isn't that right? Your taste, tsk tsk..."

Mu Yun immediately set her sights on Liu Baizhi. Seeing her flushed cheeks and erratic eyes, Mu Yun raised her lips and smiled, "He is my second cousin. He is studying at Xiansi Hall and rarely goes out on weekdays, but Miss Bai Zhi saw her He's better than him, Miss Bai Zhi, tell me, can my second brother be called a handsome man?"

Liu Baizhi pursed her lips and whispered shyly: "Indeed, Brother Xi is the most handsome person I have ever seen..."

"Ouch——" Gao Ningxin and Lu Yachun shouted in unison again, "Something happened——"

They were making a fuss here, while Madam Gao and Princess Leru winked at them over there.

There was a group of girls, all of whom were not in good shape, and did not care what the occasion was, and wanted to go home and cause trouble.

Gao Ningxin and Lu Yachun immediately pretended to be obedient and kept silent, their tight lips unable to hide their uncontrollable laughter.Fortunately, Liu Baizhi's grandfather, Imperial Physician Liu, was sitting at the male family table opposite and was concentrating on watching the play and had no time to pay attention to his granddaughter. Otherwise, she would inevitably be scolded by the stubborn old man when she returned.

The one who had been looking in their direction was Li Bin, who was sitting near the top of the table. Her expression was dark and sinister, and her eyes showed a trace of undetectable resentment from time to time.

Mu Yun kept smiling as she listened to the funny talk of the girls next to her. From time to time, she would open her delicate mouth and take a mouthful of soft snow lotus root, completely ignoring the cold gaze that came to her from Li Bi.

After the festive song "The Peach Club", the actors redressed their roles and performed the tragic song "Farewell My Concubine".When the actor playing the role of Concubine Yu was immersed in the performance of drinking, lamenting, dancing, and committing suicide with a sword, there was a sound of women sobbing and crying from the female family members' seats in the audience.

The sound of the woman wailing is mournful and pitiful. It can be said that the tears are falling, the birds are singing and the flowers are falling, and it is so pitiful.

At this moment, everyone could not concentrate on watching the show, and all looked at Li Bin who made the noise with different expressions.

Empress Xiao noticed a flash of displeasure in Emperor Pingren's eyes, and she immediately assumed the posture of the master of the harem and said in a rather imposing manner: "Li concubine, today's Cooling Festival is meant to be a leisurely time. You What are you crying about there?"

Li Bin originally wanted to use the empathy drama to attract everyone's attention, but she didn't expect Queen Xiao's tone to be so unkind. Since she wouldn't show mercy to her, she would risk it all!

The next second, Concubine Li, who was wearing an orange-yellow embroidered flower-embroidered chest-length gauze dress, fell gracefully in front of Emperor Pingren, raised a face full of tears, and said with a choked voice while holding back the grievances in her heart: " Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"

As soon as she said this, Yu Ji, who was about to wipe her neck and kill herself on the stage, was slapped in the hand, and the musicians responsible for the accompaniment also put down their Jinghu. This scene happened once in a century. I wonder if this play should continue to be performed.

Emperor Heiren waved his hand and asked the actors on the stage to leave for now. He patiently looked at his beloved concubine who was as arrogant as an orange tree at his feet, "Rei concubine, what are your grievances?"

"Not long ago, it was known to all that I had a facial disease, which caused unbearable itching and ulceration on my skin. I still have horrible marks on my face. Fortunately, the makeup can cover it up. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" She gently touched the tears at the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, for fear of wiping away the thick makeup on her face.

Emperor Heiren continued patiently: "Didn't I recruit famous doctors to treat you? So why do you have any grievances?"

"But," Concubine Li frowned slightly and paused for a moment, as if thinking, and then raised her teary face, which I saw was pitiful, "but my concubine's facial disease is not accidental, it was poisoned by someone!"

Emperor Heiren, who had always looked calm, raised his eyelids and said, "My dear concubine, you can't say this nonsense. Do you have evidence?"

"Yes, yes," Li Bin nodded repeatedly, and the tears in her eyes fell down her cheeks with her strength, falling on the skirt of the gauze dress spread on the ground, fainting with a touch of sadness.

"According to Dr. Zhao, who helped me cure my face, it is really difficult to determine the cause of my facial illness. However, one day, my maid picked up a purse in the backyard of Xiaoli Palace. The herbs in the purse were authentic. Strange, I asked Dr. Zhao to identify it, and he said..." Libi lowered her head and wiped the end of her eyes, "He said this herb is called neem husk, which is extremely toxic. If you take it a little, A little bit will cause my concubine’s symptoms of facial ulceration, 嘘嘤嘘..."
