I know I was wrong

At the end of May, Yan Qing wanted to go boating on the lake on a whim, and invited a few relatives of his favorite ministers to come, and the trip was Donglai Lake in the palace.

Donglai Lake is located in the east of the East Palace. Asters are planted on the bank, and the water is full of stalks.There is a small pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the banquet is set on the small pavilion. The winding path leads to the small pavilion, which is really elegant and quiet.

This banquet was organized by the Supervisor of Ceremonies, because Yan Qing said that they were all members of his own family and there was no need to be too rigid, so the arrangement this time was not as strict and different as an ordinary banquet.The beauties of the harem sit on one side, and the prince and his ministers sit on the other side, that's all.

Yan Shirong's seat was next to Xue Cuo's, he glanced lightly at Xue Cuo from the corner of his eye, and the latter held the chopsticks calmly.Hearing that he also had a part in the planning of today's banquet, Yan Shirong couldn't help feeling a little bit looking forward to it.

Suddenly a lotus boat sailed over the lake, before the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, the boatman went ashore to salute, and stood aside.Everyone's eyes lit up, and their eyes were all attracted by the light green graceful back on the lotus boat.

Shocked bun, wide-sleeved dress, green silk satin, cloud-sleeved shoes, the woman turned her head and smiled lightly, and danced on the lotus boat.

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, and it was Concubine Hui Jiangyue who came.

The lotus boat swayed slightly with the water waves, standing between the lotus leaves so as not to be washed away by the water.The woman leans her back on the lotus mountain, her eyebrows are affectionate, and she is not timid at all, bending her waist and turning her body like walking on flat ground.The jade fingers carry two bunches of green forgings on the top of the head, and they are gently moved, and at a glance, they are like willows blowing on the face.Jiang Yue smiled again, regardless of the undercurrents under her feet, she moved her lotus steps lightly, in the curling fragrance mist, like a fairy walking slightly on waves, frowning and smiling, her expression is extremely beautiful.

This dance, called Hanging Tape, was performed by Jiang Yue and Yan Qing when they were in love.

After the dance, Jiang Yue folded her sleeves and saluted: "The sinful daughter Jiang has seen Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is blessed and safe."

Yan Shirong looked at Xue Cuo hurriedly, but Xue Cuo's eyes were dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Xue Cuo also had a part in the planning of this banquet, but I don't know if Jiang Yue's hanging dance was also arranged by him.

Yan Qing didn't say a word for a long time, letting Jiang Yue move with the water on the lotus boat.Jiang Yue had a smile on her face, secretly gritted her teeth and refused to show her timidity. She offered her courage and all her wealth to bet on the kindness of the young emperor's heart to her.

Looking around, everyone looked different.Concubine Shu rolled her eyes, Zhuo Ling hung up and smiled, but Xue Cuo sat still and drank wine one sip at a time.

Yan Shirong only felt a thorn in his heart.

"Pick her up." Yan Qing said with the eunuch standing beside him.

Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she won the bet.

Yan Qing gave her a seat, and when she passed by Yan Shirong's side, she slowed down, glanced lightly at someone, nodded with a smile, and went to sit opposite.

Obviously she was wearing a beautiful makeup today, but Yan Shirong really felt that that look was very arrogant and sharp, like a bright and sharp knife piercing straight into his heart, reflecting the ridiculous and absurd obsession in his heart towards the person beside him. read.

Yan Shirong quickly lowered his head and took a sip of wine.But when he thought of Xue Cuo pushing the person on the tip of his heart into other people's arms step by step, he felt that the fruit wine was bitter and unbearable.

He should feel sorry for Xue, but he is not qualified.

Yan Shirong drank the wine sip by sip, because he had something hidden in his heart, he didn't feel that he drank too much.It wasn't until Xue Cuo grabbed his wrist and snatched his cup away that he realized that he had drunk a whole pot.

"Stop drinking." Xue Cuo frowned at him beside him.

Jiang Yue looked at the other side and smiled inexplicably, Xue Cuo also gave her a warning look back.

In an instant, all beings are in various states.

After the banquet that day, Jiang Yue was picked up from the cold palace by Yan Qing, and she was doted on in the harem.Speaking of the hanging ribbon dance that day, it was considered a legend both in the palace and among the people. For a while, the concubines imitated her elegant and light dress.

And Jiang Yue had already put on bright makeup, and she wore a red dress with gold and brocade that stretched to the floor, making her look bright and beautiful.

Ten-finger Danko drew a twelve-petal lotus with a brush, and the fine brush was stained with cinnabar to add color to it.Jiang Yue dipped a little cinnabar on her forehead with her index finger like a ghost, and the jade-inlaid glass mirror reflected her beautiful face.She looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but gently stroked it.

The man's words were still in her ears, she couldn't help but sneered, she was upset for a while, wiped the center of her brows, dropped the mirror, and burned the drawing paper.

Today is the first time she has brought out the unrealistic fantasy in her heart, and it will be the last time.

Turning to June, Jiang Yue was still favored and prosperous, and she was selected by Yan Qing to choose a female princess for Yan Shirong.

Jiang Yue acted resolutely, and quickly summoned six noble girls, making Yan Shirong familiar with her eyes first.

Zhuo Ling accompanied Yan Shirong to the banquet. On the way, she comforted Yan Shirong and said: "That bitch wants to be in charge of the harem without looking at how much he weighs. Don't be afraid, my sister will make the decision for you."

Yan Shirong held Zhuo Ling's hand, his eyes almost blurred with tears: "Sister, why are you so nice?"

Zhuo Ling couldn't stand Yan Shirong's eyes, and pushed his paws away from his face, "I've seen that cheap hoof not pleasing to the eye."

Yan Shirong remembered that the Jiang family was still trying to get engaged to the Cheng family back then, and used a lot of tricks, but it was still Zhuo Ling who took the lead, and the grievance had been accumulated for a long time.

Zhuo Ling glanced at Yan Shirong and asked, "Have you made any progress with that?"

Yan Shirong shook his head.

"Promise." Zhuo Ling laughed at him, "Didn't you two have been very close since you were young? I remember he saved you one year, why are you so unfamiliar now?"

What she was talking about happened when Yan Shirong was ten years old. At that time, the emperor father was there, the queen mother was there, and the Xue family was still there.

That year, the ambassador of Fanshan Kingdom came to Great Wei to pay tribute to their national flower, Sumeru Flower, which was rare in the world, and sending it was to show the sincerity of Fanshan Kingdom.

This flower is very strange, it blooms once in 30 years, and the flowering period is only three days.When it was sent to the palace, it was still a lavender flower bud, and the amber stem was exquisitely carved, so you could tell it was extraordinary at a glance.The emperor ordered people to build the Xumi Yinhua Terrace for viewing. After the court, he took Yan Shirong to stand under the Yinhua Terrace and looked at it eagerly.

According to legend, this Sumeru flower pollen can cure all kinds of poisons in the world, and if it is made into a sachet and worn around it, it will be immune to all kinds of poisons.It's just that the flower itself is also highly poisonous, so the arrangement is very careful. If you accidentally touch the petals when it blooms, you will be killed.

Because of this legend, the palace people dare not neglect, they are full of respect for this flower, and they all wear cowhide gloves to serve it on weekdays.

The day when the flowers bloomed was the Flower Festival, and a palace banquet was held in the palace.It just so happened that not long ago, Yan Qing hunted a white deer, the whole body was snow-white, heralding auspiciousness, and it was exhibited at the palace banquet that day.

Recalling that day, the Megumi flower bloomed, but the palm-sized flower was fragrant, like a gauze covering most of the palace, and all the guests at the banquet could smell the strange fragrance of the flower.

That night, hundreds of palace lanterns were lit on the silver flower stage, and all the guests stretched their necks, wanting to see the face of the flower.The ink-purple petals of Sumeru flowers bloom one by one, about [-] pieces, the dark purple on the outside, seems to be soaked into the innermost part of the ink, the color fades, and it becomes almost transparent lavender.The flowers are crystal clear under the palace lanterns, the petals are as thin as paper, and the flowers are as light as silk. Everyone can only watch from a distance on the table, but they can be seen from a distance but not played with.

After the banquet, everyone followed Yan Qing to appreciate the white deer, but because Yan Shirong lost the jade pendant, he went halfway to look for it.Suddenly he saw a piece of his jade pendant fell by the side of the Yinhua platform, when he bent down to pick it up, his center of gravity was unsteady, he was pushed by someone, and fell into the Sumeru flowers instead.

Yan Shirong didn't even have time to see who pushed him, but he felt dizzy, had difficulty breathing, and couldn't speak a word.

After Xue Cuo looked around and couldn't see Yan Shirong, he lost his mind to look at the deer, thinking that since he was young, he liked beautiful colors, so why not go to see flowers?He walked towards the Yinhua Terrace, where the lights were dazzling and it was difficult to distinguish things for a while, he only felt some movement in the corner surrounded by the curtain, but there was not even a guard guard around.

His heart became dull, and when he ran to Yinhua Terrace, he saw General Yan Shirong unconscious.

He shouted for people to come and put Yan Shirong on his back, telling him to cheer up.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and Yan Shirong was not in danger of life, but fell asleep all the time.

Sumeru pollen can detoxify all kinds of poisons, but it cannot detoxify the poison of Sumeru flowers, so the contradiction is extremely serious.The emperor questioned the ambassador of Fanshan, and the ambassador cried and wondered what to do with the flower poison. The emperor was so angry that he wanted to send troops to Fanshan.

The Sumeru flower poison was eventually forced out by the imperial physicians, but Yan Shirong was at the root of the disease, very weak, and was always ill intermittently for more than half a year.In the few days when I was not sick, I was also arrested and sent to Honglian Division for visiting a brothel. This is another story.

At that time, when the emperor saw him, his eyes were red, and he touched his head for a long time without speaking, and the queen often wiped away tears.

Yan Shirong didn't know that during those few days when he was unconscious, he was actually struggling in the underworld. When he was asleep, he seemed to hear Xue Cuo's voice.

——It will be fine when you wake up, it will be fine, Ayu will definitely get better.

Thinking of that, Yan Shirong's voice became a little shy, and he pulled the curtain and looked at the green tiles and red walls, feeling that the palace was really depressing.He said softly: "That's all happened when I was a child, sister, don't make fun of me. I... I have already forgotten."

Zhuo Ling glanced at him and said nothing.

When the two entered the banquet, Jiang Yue had been waiting for a long time with six noble girls, and she was a little surprised to see Zhuo Ling: "Why are you here, sister?"

"You can come, but I can't? What's the reason for that?" Zhuo Ling Shi calmly took his seat.

Jiang Yue smiled: "Sister, where is this? If you are willing to come and advise the Sixth Prince's marriage, that would be the best."

Zhuo Ling glanced at the whole audience and asked, "Is this the girl you picked?"

"That's right." Jiang Yue introduced one by one, "This is Xiao Xuan, who belongs to the Governor of Hakka Province. This is Bai Xian, who belongs to the scholar family of Tiange University. This is Yue Zhi, who belongs to the official secretary's family. This is Luo Ying, from Dali Temple Qing's family. This is Pan Han, from Yin's family in Shuntian Prefecture. This is Mu Su, from Hirado Hou's family."

All the girls saluted together and said: "The daughters of the people have seen the prince and princess."

Zhuo Ling took a rough glance and asked, "That's all?"

Jiang Yue nodded.

Zhuo Ling asked angrily: "What do you think of the sixth prince? How can these women match him?"

Jiang Yue felt that Zhuo Ling had made some excuses, and her expression was not very good for a while: "If it's about family background, they actually—"

"Family background? I won't tell you about family background." Zhuo Ling glanced at Jiang Yue coldly, and said leisurely, "I'm talking about appearance."

Although these women are not beautiful, they are also delicate and dignified, but they are much inferior and gloomy when placed next to Yan Shirong.They quietly took a look at Yan Shirong, who was shaking the wine quilt carelessly, just one glance made them feel ashamed.

Jiang Yuedao: "As the old saying goes, when you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person. Appearance is not necessary. Besides, in the eyes of this palace, the ladies are already very beautiful."

Zhuo Ling seemed to hear a very funny sentence, and immediately laughed out loud: "When you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous man? Are you virtuous? Didn't the emperor betroth you when he saw you dancing and swaying his sash, and married you?" It’s just marrying your looks, your waist. I’m not allowing others to take advantage of me because I’m a sexist. Tell me, how can there be such a reason?”

Jiang Yue's face turned green when she was squeezed by Zhuo Ling, and she heard Zhuo Ling's presumptuous words: "Besides, if the appearance is not good, I'm afraid it will be a lot less fun to have sex with the bed. When I think of this girl With this appearance, do you think the Sixth Prince can still persevere?"

Yan Shirong: "..."

Just as he thought about defending himself, Zhuo Ling continued like a cannonball: "For the six kings, appearance is necessary. You also know that he always likes to visit Jianchun Street. The men and women on Jianchun Street are more beautiful than the ones on this table. There are too many, so it makes him linger and forget where to go."

Yan Shirong: "..."

"The emperor wants the sixth prince to get married just because he wants to find someone to restrain him. How can you restrain Xiao Liu with this kind of appearance? I'm afraid that the bride was snubbed after three days of marriage, and she reverted to her old ways and went to courteous prostitutes again."

Yan Shirong couldn't help tugging at Zhuo Ling, and whispered: "Can you save me some face?"

Zhuo Ling pushed him and continued: "So, what I mean is to get married, but the candidates are not limited to princes and nobles. You can go and find someone who can restrain Xiao Liu. You don't need to Said he would marry willingly, too. Right?"

"Ah?...Yes!" Yan Shirong gave a thumbs up quietly, and the siblings waved their fans and smiled harmoniously.

"According to the princess, the table will be broken up today?"

Zhuo Ling put away her fan and thought for a while: "Since we are here, let's talk, otherwise the emperor will not be able to make sense. But you and I should part ways."

Jiang Yue said with a cold face: "Send me back to the palace."
