Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chun'er lowered her head.

"Now all the masters in the harem have gone to the Jiaotai Palace, and no one comes to see the empress."

"Is it?"

Wei Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and looked thoughtful.

Nie Yulan's state just now was obviously abnormal, her eyes were watery and rippling.

A bold guess emerged in Wei Zhenzhen's mind.

But it feels too ridiculous.

Nie Yulan walked to the back and came out after a while.

"Sister Rong Bin, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Aren't you very neat on weekdays? Why did it take you so long today?"

Wei Zhenzhen stood up and glanced at her.

I saw that Nie Yulan had a layer of powder on her neck and wore a string of necklaces close to her neck.

It seemed like he was trying to cover something up.

Nie Yulan looked calm.

"I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm not energetic today. I was afraid that something might go wrong at the Queen's birthday party, so I took the time to catch up on some sleep, so I was a little delayed."

She smiled and said: "Sister Rong Bin, let's leave quickly."

The two of them left the Yaoguang Palace together.

……

Shen Ruoxi chatted with Murong Minghua for a long time, and finally saw the eunuchs and maids coming to report and let everyone go to Jiaotai Hall.

The group of people got up and walked towards the palace.

On both sides of the Jiaotai Hall, seats have been arranged according to official positions.

Shen Ruoxi went to Shen Tianrong's side.

Emperor Renjing and Queen Su Liuer sat side by side on the main seat.

Su Liuer dressed up today.

Wearing a bright yellow palace dress with hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, a golden hairpin with eight treasures and beads on her head, and a hairpin with five phoenixes and beads hanging on it, she is less dignified and elegant than usual, and more bright and dazzling.

Only then did Shen Ruoxi realize that Su Liuer was really pretty, but she was usually too plain.

Under the Queen's seat were the concubines, princes and princesses headed by Concubine Qin.

Under Emperor Renjing's seat were the courtiers.

Shen Ruoxi sat on her seat and glanced at the opposite side calmly.

Under the Queen's seat, Qin Haitang is the leader.

Two concubines were sitting below.

They are the virtuous concubine Lu Shuyi and the virtuous concubine Ning Yingying.

The last time she came, Shen Ruoxi didn't see the two of them.

After Lu Shuyi was a loyal general, her father and brother died in battle ten years ago. The emperor was grateful for her family's loyalty and made her a virtuous concubine.

Over the years, Lu Shuyi has been following the queen to worship Buddha, and often goes out of the palace to pray for the emperor in temples. She is an elegant person and keeps a low profile in the harem.

Shen Ruoxi's eyes fell on the virtuous concubine Ning Yingying.

Among the most favored concubines in the harem, one is Qin Guifei, and the other is the virtuous concubine.

Fang Hui once complained to her when she was Princess Murong Yu.

Only then did she realize that Ning Yingying looked a bit like the late Queen Su Waner.

For this reason, for many years, even though she was domineering in the harem and even did some things that were not on the stage, the emperor still turned a blind eye to her.

Below Concubine Xian is Fang Hui.

Shen Ruoxi looked away and looked at Murong Heng's position.

His seat is empty.

No one is here.

However, the position at the top of the list of courtiers is also empty.

That is the position of Prince Rong.

Princess Rong's concubine Xue Yuan has already arrived. She is luxuriously dressed, elegant in appearance, and has a delicate appearance. Her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Su Tianling's, but she is a bit more charming than Su Tianling.

Shen Ruoxi didn't care much about Prince Rong, her thoughts were on Murong Heng.

Why haven't you come yet at this hour?

Could it be that you are not feeling well yet?

While he was deep in thought, he suddenly saw movement coming from outside the palace.

Then came the high-pitched voice of the eunuch.

"The Ling King is here!"

Everyone turned around.

Shen Ruoxi's mind moved and she immediately raised her eyes.

At the entrance of the palace, a black robe appeared.

Then, Murong Heng's tall figure came into everyone's sight.

He put one hand behind his back and stepped into the hall.

A black python robe is added to the body, and a white jade belt is tied around the waist, which makes her look even more broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, giving her a distinguished temperament.

The officials immediately stood up and saluted him.

He stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.

His handsome and delicate face always had a calm expression, but his eyes were naturally cold, with an eye-catching sharpness.

He had not left the East Palace for many days before, and there were already many speculations among the courtiers.

Now that they saw him appearing safely, everyone's thoughts returned to their original positions.

Murong Heng stepped forward.

"My sons and ministers see my father, the emperor, and my queen. I wish my father a long life and my mother a long life and good health."

Emperor Renjing spoke.

"Why are you here so late today? If you are any later, my father will punish you!"

Although his tone was reproachful, his eyes were very kind.

Murong Heng said.

"Father, please forgive me. I have been waiting for my mother's birthday gift, so I came a little late."

"Oh? Then I'll have to see what rare things you have prepared this time."

Emperor Renjing laughed loudly and then waved.

"Take a seat."

Murong Heng handed over his hands and turned around to go to his seat.

Shen Ruoxi looked at him.

After Murong Heng sat down, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Shen Ruoxi.

His eyes have always been cold and indifferent.

But now, a few meters away, Shen Ruoxi felt that his eyes were like reality, looking into her heart.

Shen Ruoxi's long eyelashes fanned slightly, and her heartbeat was a little fast.

At the same time, he was filled with a lifetime of unknown joy.

However, the next second, she felt another gaze.

She turned her head slightly and saw Murong Yu staring at her closely next to Murong Heng.

His brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes were deep.

It seemed that he wanted to tell her something.

The deer in Shen Ruoxi's heart was pounding so hard that it was killed instantly.

My heart was still, even a little nauseous.

She turned her head expressionlessly.

unlucky.

Everyone waited for a moment, and then Emperor Renjing frowned.

"It's this hour, why hasn't Prince Rong arrived yet?"

Princess Rong Xue Yuan said immediately.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that there was something urgent and we had to be a little late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's not too late for him."

Su Liuer immediately said softly.

"Your Majesty is right. When I return, I will talk to him carefully and let him punish himself with three cups of wine."

"Ah."

Emperor Renjing responded lightly.

His expression did not soften.

Shen Ruoxi held the cup with a twinkling look on her face.

She had never seen this Prince Rong.

But he has always been arrogant and arrogant.

If Murong Heng is said to be doing things his own way, then he is being arrogant.

Emperor Renjing kept such a courtier because he couldn't do anything to him.

"Prince Rong is here!"

Following the announcement from the eunuch at the door, a tall and straight figure appeared in front of everyone.

Su Sheng wore a purple-black python robe and a pair of short boots sewn with gold thread.

He shook his broad sleeves and stepped into the hall.

Shen Ruoxi's eyes fell on Su Sheng's face, and she was surprised for a moment.

She had always thought that Prince Rong was a tall and thick man.

I didn't want to be born so handsome.

The eyes are narrow and long, the bridge of the nose is high and the lips are crimson.

Because he is already thirty-two years old, he has a sense of elegance and magnanimity that has accumulated over time. His eyebrows are romantic and wanton, and he has a kingly demeanor.

He handed over to Emperor Renjing and Su Liuer.

"Long live my emperor, and my queen a thousand lives. I was delayed due to something, so I'm late. I apologize."

Emperor Renjing smiled.

"Prince Rong is busy with official matters and is late. I and the queen can understand."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Sheng stood up and was about to sit down when a faint voice suddenly came from the side.

"The Queen Mother just said that Prince Rong is late and has to punish himself with three drinks."

Murong Heng's beautiful fox eyes curled up with a lazy smile: "Prince Rong must have a few drinks."
