Difficulty in deciphering

Now that the emperor had spoken about the celebration banquet, Tai Yue Mansion began to prepare for it.After several days in succession, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the palace has been heard all the time.Lin Huiye was also in a good mood, he took care of all the memorials, big and small, and was often busy until late at night without resting.But in this way, Lin Jieyu was free.During the day, she stayed in Tianniao Pavilion to play the piano and practice martial arts, and at night, she prepared a few small dishes for Lin Huiye, maybe when Lin Huiye was hungry, she would want to eat.

It was another night, just as Lin Jieyu had prepared the dishes, Xiaozhu sent a message that someone asked to see him.

"Come in." Lin Jieyu put down the porcelain plate in his hand and said.

"Yes." Just as Xiaozhu answered, the door was pushed open by a person.

Lin Jieyu looked over and felt that this person was no stranger.

The person who came was a woman, dressed in colorful silk and satin, with an overwhelming sense of luxury.

"Actor?"

"Lord Xie actually recognizes me?" The woman smiled, found a chair and sat down consciously, staring at Lin Jieyu with a pair of slightly drunken eyes.

"I don't know the most beautiful dancer in the imperial palace." Lin Jieyu sat down next to her, and Xiao Zhu hurriedly served tea and water upon seeing this.

"Actually, Youling has heard about Prime Minister Zuo for a long time, and Master Yue Fu also said that Master Xie in the court hall is a thousand times better than the rumors."

"So, why are you looking for me this time?" Lin Jieyu didn't want to continue listening to those compliments, so he cut to the chase.

"Youling is only here to help Mr. Xie realize his wish."

"My wish?" Lin Jieyu said plainly, and the bright lights around the hall made her cold eyes glow with a faint color.

"His Majesty."

Youling only said two words, but Lin Jieyu felt like thousands of thunderbolts exploded in his heart, shaking the river and the sea.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." After a while, Lin Jieyu stood up from the chair. She lowered her voice and was about to ask Xiaozhu to see her off, but unexpectedly, Yeling stood up earlier and stepped forward to cover her. Q.

Lin Jieyu only heard Yeling whispering in her ear.

"Master Xie, is this out of embarrassment?"

Lin Jieyu looked at her coldly and remained silent.

"Although it's the first time to go to court, Lord Xie looks at His Majesty with unusual eyes." Youling smiled, staring closely at Lin Jieyu's frosty cheeks, afraid of missing any wonderful moment.She continued in a soft voice. "But you can rest assured that you haven't acted so obvious. It's just that Mr. Jia Yuefu was born with a careful mind and can read people's hearts, so..."

"so?"

"That's why my Master Yuefu thinks that it is not impossible for Master Xie to win His Majesty's heart."

"how do I say this."

"His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like men."

Hearing Yeling's words, Lin Jieyu was shocked again.This woman, Youling, gave me too much shock tonight.

"I think His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like men, Mr. Xie should be much clearer than us. Even civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty know that the person His Majesty likes...to put it bluntly...is Zhao Minghe."

"so what."

"So, Mr. Xie, please think about why Zhao Minghe is liked by His Majesty? What qualities does she have?"

"She..." Suddenly wanting to think carefully about Zhao Minghe's characteristics, Lin Jieyu's mind instantly went blank.However... the first thing to emerge from this blank space was... her smile.

The sun is generally dazzling.

"Master Xie?"

"I don't know..." Lin Jieyu shook his head to drive away the smile.

"Since Mr. Xie doesn't know...then Youling will tell you." Hearing what Lin Jieyu said, Youling suddenly laughed.She surrounded Lin Jieyu and said softly. "Miss Zhao, she has always been—Yan, Ba, Qun, Fang."

"You mean I'm too quiet?" Lin Jieyu raised his eyebrows.

"Master Xie is indeed too quiet." Yeling walked around Lin Jieyu, looking up and down with her beautiful eyes. "However, Yeling didn't think there was anything wrong with Sujing. It's just that people have many sides, and Yeling thought that Mr. Xie might have another side that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't even know about."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Youling just wants to ask Mr. Xie to complete the dance for Youling at the celebration banquet."

"Dancing? You...why did you find me?"

"It's just an agreement."

"What agreement."

"The agreement between Youling and Her Highness Han Yu." Youling smiled. "Your Highness has always wanted to watch Lord Xie dance, but now she can only watch it on behalf of her."

"I didn't expect someone to mention Han Yu's name in this palace." Upon hearing the word "Han Yu", Lin Jieyu's eyes dimmed instantly.As she said that, the figure of the child appeared in front of her eyes.A little weak, but very persistent.

"Since the current Mr. Xie can't get the emperor's love, why not try a different style? It would be great if the bright and beautiful Mr. Xie can really win the favor of the emperor. If the emperor doesn't feel this way, Mr. Xie There is no loss at all. Youying doesn't understand...why is Mr. Xie hesitating...or is Mr. Xie not confident about his dancing skills?"

"Why do you think that I will definitely listen to you."

"Because Youling felt... the beast of desire that has been restrained in Master Xie's heart for many years... is about to break free from the cage."

Lin Huiye realized that Lin Jieyu was not in the Yannian Palace these days, but was always in her own Palace of All Souls, not knowing what she was doing.One evening, after she finished processing the paperwork in hand, she got up and went to the Hall of All Souls to visit Lin Jieyu.

Xiao Zhu, who was on guard outside, saw Lin Huiye walking over in a casual dress from a distance, and hurriedly wanted to go back to the inner hall to inform Lin Jieyu, who was practicing dance.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a little palace maid jumped out of the garden and knocked herself down, and the porridge in her hand spilled all over her body.

Those were the new clothes that Xiao Zhu had just put on, her heart ached so badly that she stood there and reprimanded the girl, this reprimand was good, Lin Huiye was right in front of her eyes.

Only then did Xiao Zhu remember that he was going to inform Lin Jieyu, but he didn't want to be stopped by Lin Huiye just as soon as he lifted his foot.

"Little Bamboo."

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty." Xiao Zhu saluted Lin Huiye respectfully, sweating coldly.

"So anxious, where are you going?" Lin Huiye asked gently.

"Just... that girl just sprinkled rice porridge all over the servant... the servant wants to replace it as soon as possible..."

"Let's go then," Lin Huiye said.

"Yes... yes!" With Lin Huiye's permission, Xiao Zhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards his residence.She thought that Lin Huiye must know the structure of the Hall of All Souls better than herself, and it would be impossible to go around and inform Lin Jieyu.

When Lin Huiye walked slowly to the gate of Wanling Temple, the little girl guarding the gate was startled, but Lin Huiye stopped her when she was about to enter the gate to announce.They saw that the noble majesty smiled, and entered the door in a blink of an eye.

Lin Jieyu's Hall of All Souls is very empty and silent.But compared to the thick silence of his Yannian Palace, the Hall of All Souls has a little more lightness.However, Lin Huiye didn't see Lin Jieyu after walking for a long time. She looked around and then walked in along the corridor on the side of the Hall of All Souls.

After passing a dark corridor, Lin Huiye saw red light falling from the ceiling.

The red light illuminates the pool water behind the Hall of All Souls.

At this moment, Lin Jieyu was sleeping in the small pavilion in the middle of the pool.

The man knelt on the ground, leaning on the stone platform in the courtyard, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Huiye saw her wearing a red dress, reflecting the color of the sunset.

"Sleeping here, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Lin Huiye looked at the scene in a daze for a moment, then walked into the pool.

Lin Jieyu slept very deeply. In order to finish dancing before the celebration banquet, she didn't sleep for almost three nights.

"You...why are you wearing a red dress?" Lin Huiye stood beside Lin Jieyu, looked at her sleeping face carefully for a while, then took off his coat and put it on her body, and then sat down beside her.She stepped on the edge of the pavilion with one leg and leaned her back against the pillar.

After a while, in the silent dusk, Lin Huiye's voice sounded.

she said softly.

"Xieyu, you've been by my side like this... how many years have you been?"

The celebration banquet was held in Ronghua Hall in the early morning of the second day.

All ceremonial dinners will be held in the Ronghua Hall, which has been a tradition since the Pan Dynasty.

At noon, a large number of invited officials had arrived at Ronghua Hall.In the open space in front of the hall, tables, chairs and fruits have been prepared in five rows on the left and right, and a red carpet is left in the middle for the heroes to walk past.After the ministers learned of their location from the guard at the palace gate, they took their seats and exchanged greetings.

In the afternoon, the officials fell silent, and the Lord had arrived.

All the ministers saw Zhao Minghe walking in front in a luxurious blue robe, followed by Wei Qing in military uniform, but Lin Jieyu was nowhere to be seen.

"Tsk tsk... look at that Zhao Minghe... on what occasion is he still dressed like this." Seeing that Zhao Minghe was not only wearing casual clothes, but also wearing red, Buque Tang Rui'an finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"It doesn't matter, the emperor likes it." The admonisher Zong Ren didn't care.

"The emperor likes...? If the emperor likes her, can he despise the lawlessness of the officials?" Tang Rui'an was so angry that he turned his head to the admonisher Zong Ren. "Look at her. From time to time, she wants to ask General Wei to answer. Fortunately, General Wei abides by the rules and doesn't mess with her. She thinks that the whole world is as lawless as her. I see, if one day the emperor doesn't pamper her , and she might not know how tragic her end will be."

"The difference between people is that some things are fine for some people, but it is a death penalty for some people." Zong Ren said slowly. "If you can conquer half of the country for the emperor like Zhao Minghe... at that time, you must think that the rules and so on are trivial matters. To put it bluntly...the rules in the palace are only used to trap mediocre people .”

"Are you saying that you and I are mediocre?"

"I'm just talking about you." Zong Ren continued.

"You!" Tang Ruian was in a hurry, and just about to say something, Zong Ren said again.

"General Zhao seemed to be looking over here just now."

Sure enough, Tang Ruian shut up instantly when he heard what Zong Ren said.

"You... You said that Zhao Minghe just came over?"

Seeing that Tang Ruian's arrogance dropped by three points at once, Zong Ren turned his head away in disdain. He thought that it would be better not to be a speech officer to such an extent.

The fiery red sunset glow dissipated in an instant, followed by a deep night.

When the sky was completely dark, the Ronghua Palace was lit with bright lights.And Lin Huiye stepped onto the highest seat of the Ronghua Hall stepping on the bright lights one after another.

All the ministers saw their Majesty sitting down, raised his hand slightly, and said a few words to Chuanyi beside him, and huge exploding fireworks exploded in the sky.

At that moment, everyone knew that the celebration banquet had begun.
