Phoenix Reborn: The Peerless Fourth Lady

The so-called Dragon Gate Banquet, which means Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate, can also be said to be a cleansing banquet specially prepared for Su Yun. This Dragon Gate Banquet is held every year, but since Su Yun has not returned to Beijing for three years, this year's This Longmen Banquet seems to be more grand than ever.

This is also one of the performances that Emperor Hongjia took a fancy to Su Yun. Su Yun can be said to be the only general who has enjoyed this honor in the integration of Donghe Kingdom. Even the Luo family, who is also the founding general, has never enjoyed such treatment.

However, since Luo Guancheng ended half his life as a soldier in the Luo family, both the first and second families of the Luo family have chosen to be civil servants, and only his eldest daughter, Luo Bing, has inherited Luo Guancheng's military power.

So Luo Bing is also a well-known female general in the capital.

The sky was getting darker, and all the red and festive lanterns in the palace had been lit. Qingyan looked at the chessboard in front of her. The pieces on the chessboard couldn't tell who would win or lose at all, but Qingyan was still nervous. He stared at the chessboard tightly and refused to let go.

It wasn't until the shrill voice sounded that Qingyan's thoughts were disturbed, and the eunuch said, Long live God, empress queen, prince prince... Everyone stood up and knelt down to worship Emperor Hongjia and today's Queen, Prince.

After waiting for them to be seated, Emperor Hongjia said in a sonorous and forceful voice, Everyone loves you.

There is no difference between the Dragon Gate Banquet and other banquets, or there is no essential difference between Yanjue and Yanjue. It can also be regarded as an occasion to fight for the royal family, or to hope that a certain concubine will take a fancy to his daughter.

And this Dragon Gate Banquet was nominally to cleanse Su Yun from the wind and dust, but the idea of ​​those female relatives was to become a master.

Qingyan glanced at the empress who was sitting next to Emperor Hongjia, she was indeed exactly the same as what Murong Jingxuan described, she was a gentle and virtuous woman, it should be said that such a woman who neither fights nor snatches is indeed a mother of the world.

As for Concubine Yi, when Qingyan cast her gaze away, she saw Concubine Yi looking in her direction with an inquiring expression on her face. After the two people's gazes met in the air for a while, Qingyan didn't seem to care about Concubine Yi's inquisitive eyes. Just look back.

Concubine Yi is indeed a difficult woman to deal with. This woman has been able to occupy the position of concubine since she gave birth to the second prince. It seems that she has never committed any crimes, so even if Emperor Hongjia doesn't have her in his heart, it is still true. The reason why she was able to occupy the imperial concubine position for more than ten years.

This concubine Yi is more interesting than she imagined. It seems that the second prince is lucky to have a good mother, otherwise he could easily be led by the nose by someone like Su Qingming.

But at least it proves one thing, if Concubine Yi is no longer a concubine, then Xuanyuan Yufan will have no one to rely on.

Qingyan didn't see Qi Lian Yuran at the banquet, she knew that Qilian Yuran still didn't like such occasions after all, and she probably always thought of the former Qilian Qingyan on such occasions.

But so what, the former Qi Lian Qingyan is no longer here.

Before the banquet started, it was all specific performances arranged by certain people. After the performances, Emperor Hongjia began to eat, and Su Qingyan knew that this time was the essence of the Longmen Banquet, because according to everyone's performance, they would definitely propose Someone came out and asked for a volunteer performance, and this performance was nothing more than another way to please Emperor Hongjia.

Qingyan looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her, but it was tasteless, it was the same feeling as before, she always felt that there was a gaze following her all the time, but when she looked, she found that there was only a towering tree behind her.

Qingyan picked up the fruit in the fruit plate and slowly tasted it. She thought that maybe it was because of Xiuran's actions today that she was in a state of high mental tension, so she always had such thoughts.

Sister, I want to eat that. Su Qingcong stretched out his little hand to the red fruit in front of Qingyan, but his arms were too short to reach it.

Red fruit is a special fruit of Donghe country, its name is raspberry, but even so, because of the high price of raspberry, it is not a fruit that ordinary people can eat.

Even someone with Qingyan's status can't often eat raspberries, because raspberries are a fruit that they only want to pay tribute to the palace.

Okay. Qingyan smiled and pushed all the raspberries in front of Su Qingcong, If Cong'er likes it, then eat all of my sister's portion. She said while rubbing He rubbed Su Qingcong's little head.

Su Qingcong looked at the raspberries in front of him and still only took a few, and then shared the few raspberries in his hand with Su Qingxue who was sitting quietly eating the fruit.

Su Qingxue smiled and took the raspberry that Su Qingcong handed over, but put it on the plate in front of Su Qingcong. She looked at Su Qingcong and said with a smile, Sister, if you don't eat it, just eat it. .”

Qingyan likes to see such a scene very much, because she knows that only when the siblings help each other can they solve some problems, even if these are insignificant to them.

But at this time, the voice of Xuanyuan Yuzhe, the third prince, was heard, Father, the meal is halfway through now, since today's Longmen Banquet is more grand than before, then it is better for every household to put on a show. , so that the Dragon Gate Banquet will not be monotonous.

After listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhe's words, Emperor Hongjia thought for a while, and felt that what he said was quite reasonable. He glanced at the queen next to him and said with a smile, What does the queen think?

The queen looked at Emperor Hongjia and said with a smile, The concubine also thinks this idea is very good, and I think all the younger sisters think so too.

Hearing what the Queen said, everyone naturally agreed with them, and naturally thought that this idea was a good idea, not to mention that none of their sons were married, so it would be great if they could find a daughter-in-law on such an occasion today of.

Who among the lovers is willing to volunteer to perform first, if the performance is good, then I will definitely reward you. Emperor Hongjia looked at the crowd below and said with a smile on his face.

And he knew that the girls in the boudoir below were already eager to try. When he thought of this, he turned his eyes to Su Qingyan who was sitting on the side. Her face was calm and unwavering, as if everything that had happened Everything has nothing to do with her.

Thinking of what Su Yun once said, thinking of what happened at the Dragon Gate Banquet three years ago, Emperor Hongjia couldn't help frowning, after all, he was still a child.

Since she is a child, she has the right to be forgiven by everyone, not to mention that she has become Ning'er's savior today.

Qingyan felt Emperor Hongjia's gaze, but she still sat there unmoved, because he knew what the probing in Emperor Hongjia's eyes was for, but it didn't matter, as long as no one came to look for her tonight , she certainly would not have volunteered for the show.

But I'm afraid that some people with bad intentions will not want to make her happy.

Qingyan's gaze quietly scanned the expressions on the faces of every young girl at the banquet, and at this moment, she heard a familiar voice, Hui, the emperor's servants are willing to volunteer to be the first to perform.
