King's Landing [Rebirth]

The last day at the end of the year is called "Sui Chu", which means to remove the old year and replace it with a new one.New Year's Eve means New Year's Eve, which is the last night at the end of the year.Wanderers wandering outside will rush home to reunite with their families tonight, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new with the sound of firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers in Wangcheng never stopped early in the morning, and every household hung festive lanterns and posted couplets at the door.The post house has also changed from the plainness of the past, adding a few touches of festive red.

The banquet in the palace was held after the emperor sacrificed to heaven, and the city lord and ministers had to accompany the emperor to sacrifice to heaven before returning home to change clothes for the banquet.

It was Liang Jian's first time to participate in this matter, and he still didn't quite understand it. Fortunately, Shan Chongfei reminded him from the side to save him from making mistakes.Princess Dachang and Princess Anning are both members of the royal family, and Jitian must accompany them in front.Liang Jian and Shan Chongfei stood behind the courtiers, and the head of Qing Sijian was in charge of offering sacrifices to heaven. He first read a long series of sacrificial rites, and then asked the emperor to light incense, and all the officials knelt down to worship.

After tossing and tossing, Liang Jian couldn't help complaining, and finally made it to the end, Liang Jian stretched his muscles and bones and left with Shan Chongfei.Mu Xi caught up with the two of them, saying that he would pick up Jiang Shengxue at the post later, and asked Liang Jian to tell Jiang Shengxue.Liang Jian looked at her helplessly, not wanting to remind her why she kept a low profile.

Seeing that Liang Jian was depressed, Shan Chongfei explained, "You don't have to worry, the princess is doing this for Miss Jiang's benefit. There are many rules in the palace, and it would be less troublesome for Miss Jiang to follow her."

According to palace regulations, men and women do not enter through the same palace gate, and they have to line up to check the roster before entering the palace to prevent people with ulterior motives from getting in.As the princess, Mu Xi has the privilege to bring Jiang Shengxue in directly.With her accompanying Jiang Shengxue, the journey into the palace also avoided bullying Jiang Shengxue's head.

Liang Jian knew this, and thanked Mu Xi for his kindness.

The children of fourth-rank officials are also allowed to enter this palace banquet, and the number of people will be more than ever before. In addition, after being selected for the emperor, men and women are not separated, and everyone is in the same place.There are already many officials' children waiting for inspection at the gate of the palace, all dressed up in fancy clothes, wishing to pile up all the good things on themselves.

When Liang Jian and Shan Chongfei walked back to the post house, they passed the street here, and seeing the long queue from a distance, they all sighed in their hearts.The harem land of Longtan and Tiger's Lair, but there are still many people rushing into it like moths to the flame. For them, the emperor's favor is the biggest bargaining chip to fight for the family's interests. On the contrary, they are also the emperor's pawns to win people's hearts.

The 72 concubines of the Sangong Sixth Court have come here from generation to generation, and Liang Jian is inexplicably uncomfortable.If things happen in the future, will he and Mei Zhenghan also face such problems?

He is not afraid of winning over people's hearts, but spreading out...he has no such ability.

When Liang Jian returned to the post house, Mei Zhenghan and Jiang Shengxue hadn't changed their clothes yet. They were worrying about the pile of things that Mu Xi sent. They were too conspicuous to wear, and they failed Mu Xi if they didn't wear them. kindness.

After hearing this, Liang Jian laughed and said, "It's just right to wear it. With her by our side, we can't keep a low profile even if we want to, so let's not waste her efforts. Besides, today's palace banquet is destined to be uneven, and we want to avoid some provocations." You can’t avoid it, so it’s better to meet those people’s challenge openly.”

The brother and sister thought it was the same reason, and each took their clothes to change.But Jiang Shengxue didn't touch the jewelry that Mu Xi gave, not because she didn't like it, but because she felt it was too gorgeous for her to wear into the palace.After all, she was inevitably called by the emperor, not because she wanted to go.The palace banquet was for the selection of the emperor, so she didn't have any interest in the emperor, so she didn't need to dress up so eye-catchingly.

She chose a few plain hairpins from the pile of things she bought that day and put them on. They matched the clothes Mu Xi gave them just right. They were as light as orchids and made people's eyes shine without being too ostentatious.

Mei Zhenghan didn't need a crown before he reached the crown. Mu Xi took this into consideration when making clothes. He made a hair band for him out of the same material as the clothes. Going up, the sapphire is transparent, and even the broken pieces are shining.Liang Jian personally tied Mei Zhenghan's hair, the end of the hairband hung down, and the fine light was faintly visible in the black hair.

Mei Zhenghan was neatly dressed and was very satisfied with herself in the mirror.

Liang Jian on the side hadn't changed yet, he was in a daze holding the clothes made by Mu Xi, and after thinking about it, he still didn't wear them.Now Mei Zhenghan was not happy. He was very impressed with the style of the dress he had seen before, and he wanted to see what Liang Jian would look like in it.

"I...don't like that color." Liang Jian thought for a while and found a lame reason.

The clothes are made of blue and white material, the clothes inside are mainly white, the edge of the skirt is a layer of excessive moon white, the outer cover is blue narrow sleeves, the cuffs are tightened with ties, the skirt is different from the ordinary double skirt, a bit like It is the style of the nomads in Mobei, but it has been changed.The matching girdle is wide and needs to be tied behind the back.

Mei Zhenghan was not satisfied with Liang Jian's explanation, and did not argue with Liang Jian, so he took his clothes and rushed over to help Liang Jian change it himself.

Liang Jian was thrown on the chair by him, Mei Zhenghan pressed his legs to prevent him from resisting, stretched out his hand to peel off his clothes, and muttered: "Brother next time you want to lie to me, you have to do whatever you want!" For a better reason, you wear both blue and white."

Liang Jian grabbed Mei Zhenghan's hand and looked into his smiling blue eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart.

This style of clothes was worn by Mu Zhenghan in his previous life, but it was only purple.The slightly wider girdle hooked out his thin waist, making his figure even more upright. At that time, he was standing under the moonlight with his back to the barracks, holding a jug of wine in his hand, and bowed his head in thought.Liang Jian had just finished discussing with Xu Liangchuan, he was not in a good mood and was about to go out to relax, when he saw such a scene head-on.

The cold moonlight fell on Mu Zhenghan, so peaceful and beautiful.The moonlight is beautiful, and people are even more beautiful.

Liang Jian held Mei Zhenghan's hand and rubbed|rubbed his cool palm: "Do you really want to see me wear it?"

Mei Zhenghan nodded, Liang Jian said: "Get off me, I will wear it myself."

Mei Zhenghan backed away immediately and handed over the clothes.Liang Jian took out her clothes to change, and she was fully dressed in a short while.The clothes fit well, and the blue color made his skin look whiter, giving it a jade-like beauty.He took off his hair crown and his long hair was loose, and his peach blossom eyes flowed with charm, which made people feel a kind of male and female indistinguishable evildoer.

Mei Zhenghan stared blankly for a while, then suddenly said: "Why don't we change one."

Liang Jian gave him an annoyed look, isn't this just nonsense?

Mei Zhenghan smiled embarrassingly, and touched his nose.He was suffering. Although he wanted to see Liang Jian wearing this dress, he didn't want Liang Jian to wear it for others to see. What's more, he was going to the palace for a banquet, which meant that Li Yu would also see it.

Thinking of Li Yu, Mei Zhenghan felt uncomfortable.That's all for others, but it happens to be the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. He doesn't have the ability to compete with the other party at all.

Seeing that Mei Zhenghan was a little dazed, Liang Jian guessed what he was thinking, and said lightly between his brows, "Okay, I'll change to another one, and I'll just wear this one for you to see."

It took a little time to change clothes. When Mu Xi came to pick up Jiang Shengxue, Liang Jian hadn't put on his hat yet. He went out to meet Mu Xi and asked her to take good care of Jiang Shengxue.Mu Xi patted his chest|chest to ensure that there would be no one who would dare to touch Jiang Shengxue without eyes, and glanced at Liang Jian while talking.With broad shoulders and narrow waist, blue hair like a waterfall, coupled with that handsome and extraordinary face, it looks like a fairy walking out of a painting.

Mu Xi felt emotional, thinking that in the future when the border is stable, she must go to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the scenery, flowers and beauties.

After sending Jiang Shengxue away to Shu Guan's room and tidying it up, Liang Jian found Wen Yao and asked, "Do you remember everything I told you before?"

"Don't worry, the city lord, we're ready, and we'll start when the banquet in the palace begins."

"Very good, do it cleanly, and don't leave any excuses." Liang Jian said, after thinking for a while, he said: "Be careful yourself, don't use too much trickery, or someone will get angry."

Wen Yao didn't realize who this person was referring to, but he followed Liang Jian's orders, and promised not to make himself too miserable.Liang Jian smiled and said nothing, and waved him back.

Today's palace banquet is not peaceful inside the palace, and the outside of the palace is not much better. It is time to clean up those hidden guards who have been watching Liang Jian around the post for half a month.All civil and military officials are in the palace, everyone is silent in the New Year atmosphere, and no one has noticed the murderous intent emerging from the dark.

However, when cleaning up, Liang Jian also asked Wen Yao and the others to omit one side on purpose.Liang Jian couldn't care about Wangcheng for the time being, so he could only plant the trouble and let them all fight each other, dog eat dog.

The other city lords of the posthouse had already gone one step ahead. Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan were the last to go, and they didn't meet many people at the gate of the palace.The father-in-law who was checking the roster at the gate of the palace knew Liang Jian. His eyes lit up when he saw Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan get off the carriage, and he hurried forward and said, "I have seen City Lord Liang."

After speaking, his eyes turned to one side, and when he saw Mei Zhenghan's face clearly, he froze for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who is this?"

Liang Jian explained lightly: "He is my younger brother, Mei Zhenghan."

The emperor deliberately ordered Liang Jian to bring his younger siblings into the palace. The father-in-law who checked the roster knew that, after hearing what Liang Jian said, he did not go through the roster, but turned sideways to make way for Liang Jian and the others.

The father-in-law didn't care about someone but quit, and before Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan left, he yelled: "It's just a righteous brother, not a real brother, and it doesn't count as a family member of the city lord. Don't father-in-law look through the roster? Once someone fishes in troubled waters, they will be held accountable if something goes wrong.”

The shrill voice was full of disdain. Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan looked over. The father-in-law who was in charge of the roster also frowned displeasedly. He looked at the man and said, "Mr. Di, please be careful with your words."

The person who spoke was Di Hai's only son, Di Minghao, and he looked passable, but his eyes gave people a bad feeling, the eyes were too frivolous, making people feel that he was frivolous and not stable enough.

The father-in-law was afraid that Liang Jian and the others would not know each other, so he said in a low voice, "This is the son of City Lord Di..."

Liang Jian raised her hand to stop her father-in-law from continuing, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "I know you, father-in-law, don't worry, I can handle it."

Di Hai and Xu Liangchuan had a good friendship, and Feiyu City was not far from Jiangcheng. Xu Liangchuan hosted a banquet for Di Hai before, and he took Di Minghao to Jiangcheng.So Liang Jian was no stranger to Di Minghao. Di Hai didn't like him, and Di Minghao was full of hostility towards him.It's just that Liang Jian in the past was not interested in these things and never took them to heart.But today is different, today Di Minghao is talking about Mei Zhenghan, Liang Jian can't pretend he didn't hear it.

The father-in-law saw that Liang Jian was free and proper, so he wisely didn't say any more.

Di Minghao strode over, stood in front of Liang Jian, looked him up and down, and said sarcastically, "Scholars should be treated with admiration for three days. This sentence is perfect for the Lord Liang. Who would have thought that the former Jiangcheng University The commander disappeared for half a year, and suddenly became the new city lord of Hongye City. Not only does the emperor rely heavily on him, but even Princess Anning looks at him differently. It's a pity that City Lord Xu can't come this year because he has something to do, otherwise he can see his white-eyed wolf..."

The more Di Minghao said, the more he went too far, but Liang Jian didn't seem to hear him. After he had said enough, he glanced at him lightly and said, "Mr. Di, I kindly remind you that I am the lord of the city now and you No official, no job, what do you want to do when you stand at the gate of the palace and speak disrespectfully to the court officials? Also, Zhenghan is entering the palace by order, what you said just now is dissatisfied with the emperor's order?"

Di Minghao was taken aback by Liang Jian's words. He satirized that Liang Jian was used to it and didn't take his current identity to heart.Now that Liang Jian turned against the general, it really seemed that he had no manners.

The father-in-law at the side also stood up at the right time and said: "Mr. Mei is indeed entering the palace by order. Since Mr. Di has an opinion on the emperor's words, the slave will definitely convey it on his behalf, and will tell the emperor exactly what Mr. Di said."

Di Minghao's complexion changed slightly. Given the emperor's current love for Liang Jian, how could this word really reach his ears?

"Father-in-law makes atonement, I don't know that this young master entered the palace by order, so if you offend me, please ask Eunuch Haihan."

The father-in-law didn't express his opinion when he heard the words, but turned to look at Liang Jian.The person Di Minghao offended was Liang Jian, not him, so how to deal with it depends on Liang Jian's will.

Liang Jian said with a smile: "Since Mr. Di is inviting Eunuch Haihan, Eunuch can do as he sees. Today's New Year's Eve is a day of reunion, and it is not appropriate to see blood or use force. Eunuch will not argue with Mr. Di if he has a lot of thoughts." Disrespectful in front of the palace gate, presumptuously speculating on the holy will."

Liang Jian's words seemed to be pleading for Di Minghao, but in fact they gave him a few big hats. By the way, he reminded the father-in-law that today is a special day.Di Minghao broke into a cold sweat when he heard that, Liang Jian gave him a cold look, and strode away with Mei Zhenghan.

A person with no eyesight, who dares to bully Mei Zhenghan without any official position?
