No one would have imagined that everyone was thinking of Her Majesty the Queen. At this moment, she was wearing an ordinary golden robe guard's primrose-colored uniform, with a long knife on her waist, and patrolling every corner with the golden robe guard's team. She changed her makeup and looked at the young men and women attending the banquet with little Princess Jing Ming next to her. Like all noble ladies, the little princess carefully looked at those men and women who might marry the eldest sister, and made a judgment in her heart.

"Sister, elder sister, do you have a crush on it? Look at that young lady over there, she is very good-looking, it's okay for you to be included in the palace. Or that little brother, who is very handsome and can talk. Yes, I can make you happy too." Xuan Jingning, who looked slender under the uniform of Jinpaowei, approached the queen and whispered in her ear.

The Empress didn't look sideways, she just walked forward sloppily. Hearing her sister say this, she smiled and said, "Is this something that can be decided just by meeting?"

"But you don't even look at anyone. Could it be that you really have to go back and pick those old men who are ready to force you." The princess pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly, "You are like this, but It doesn't make any sense, ma'am."

"It's good to come out and relax." The queen concentrated on her duties as a golden robe guard and did not intend to continue the topic of the princess.

She had no plans to remarry, but the ministers reluctantly agreed. At this banquet, she only had the intention of celebrating the more prosperous Daqing, and was not interested in the fact that the ministers would recommend a few heroes at the banquet.

Fortunately, the Minister of Rites had come up with an idea to meet during the flowering season, and she took this opportunity to take a good look at Daqing's talents and escape those tiresome recommendations and meetings.

The minister thought that she was going to get married, and all the young men and women of each family rushed to the position of the emperor's husband and queen, so all the young people who appeared at the banquet this time were outstanding young talents from each family.

Although the best young people do not have the idea of entering the palace, they also come with the expectation of being appreciated by the emperor. Because of this, Xuan Jingchen wanted to see how good the characters who appeared in Yulong Pavilion were. If there are really one or two young people who can contribute to the country, tonight will be a worthwhile trip.

Her Majesty the Queen, who is full of family and country, does not have the slightest bit of love between children as expected by others. Knowing from a young age that her eldest sister is a person who is dedicated to protecting the family and the country, Princess Jing Ming couldn't help sighing, and inevitably thought of another person.

After only a few short years together, the little princess has a very deep affection for the Emperor Zhao who took great care of her when she was a teenager. To this day, she still grieves for Emperor Zhao who died young. Compared with her concern, the princess always felt that the eldest sister who was the wife of Emperor Zhao had forgotten too quickly.

No, not forgetting, she even suspected that the eldest sister had been sad for Emperor Zhao.

In the heart of the eldest sister, who is the most important thing in the world, the people are the most important, the family affairs are second, and the king is the most irrelevant, the death of Emperor Zhao is afraid that it will be a good death.

The dilapidated state of Chu has rolled into the torrent of history, and the thriving Daqing has brought peace and joy to the people. In the past few years, although the eldest sister has a lot of schedules, it is much better than being as busy as when she was with Emperor Zhao, but always frowning and worrying.

Getting married or not is just an irrelevant issue.

Before stepping into the Yulong Pavilion, Princess Jing Ming had been unwilling, and she was unwilling to marry the eldest sister again under pressure. But after stepping into the Yulong Pavilion, she was vaguely grateful when she saw that the elder sister was still not moving.

At least, if the eldest sister fails to develop love for the prince and brother-in-law, then others will not get the same.

Almost all the young men and women who entered the Yulong Pavilion got the news of the queen's micro-service. They couldn't recognize the modified queen. Just like all the men and women who didn't know each other in the flowering period, they developed a lively atmosphere and tried to attract people. come over.

The people on the second floor of Yulong Pavilion are basically young men and women who were chosen by the family to be sent to the palace, as well as handsome men who came out to meet the world. The queen walked all the way with the long knife on her waist. After hearing a lot of opinions on current affairs, she couldn't help shaking her head and walked over silently.

The tyranny of the previous emperor's assassination led to the fact that most of the young people born in that era did not dare to express their hearts directly. Seeing that there was nothing to attract her, the queen who went out on patrol in micro-clothing walked to the entrance of the third floor, and finally decided to take off the golden robe guard's primrose suit.

At this moment, a light drum came from under the Yulong stage, followed by the sound of the lyre, and a clear shakuhachi sound slowly climbed up from the stage.

At this moment, all the words dissipated, and everyone in the Yulong Pavilion stopped all the movements in their hands, and turned their heads to look at the lotus leaf platform of Yuxi. All eyes fell on the young man standing on the stage wearing an ivory white brocade robe and his long hair was only half tied.

Who is this? Who is playing a musical instrument banned by the emperor, still on such occasions.

Many people have such a question in their hearts. When they see the boy who is about seventeen or eighteen years old standing in Taichung, he will be a little more measured.

The queen hesitated for a while, then slowly walked to an empty railing on the third floor, and looked down at the boy who was playing on the stage. The little princess who was beside her turned her head and glanced at her. She wanted to say something, but when she saw the teenager on the stage, she murmured: "Isn't this Senior Lin? Huangjie..."

The princess turned her head and looked at the eldest sister beside her. She was about to say something, but was interrupted by a young and energetic voice.

"Whose song is this, and who made it?" The young man in red jumped to the other corner of the railing occupied by the golden robe guards, leaned on the railing and looked down, with a surprised expression: "Booming but gentle Passionate, like the dance of the sea god, it is extremely beautiful."

She said to herself, her small voice sounded so touching. The little princess stared at the boy who suddenly appeared in front of her, and almost blurted out "what is it?".

"Who is the performer? He is very skilled and elegant." The boy muttered again, looking at the boy playing shakuhachi under the stage with an envious expression.

"That's Lin Mengdie, the eldest son of Lin Zhi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites." A gentle word was suddenly inserted, and the young man who was distracted by the song suddenly raised his head and looked at the woman who was speaking.

That handsome face, against the bright lights of the Yulong Pavilion, faded away from the youthful youthfulness, and the moment he looked back, he caught the Queen's line of sight. That kind of beauty is almost illusory, like the moon in the mirror, His Majesty, who is carrying a long knife, let go of his hand and probed forward uncontrollably.

No one saw that ripples appeared in the eyes that came to Gujing without waves, causing an uproar. The queen who hadn't paid attention to others all night suddenly spoke up, attracting the attention of all the golden robe guards nearby. The little princess who followed the queen looked at the eldest sister in surprise, trying to find what she had always hoped to find on her face.

When his eyes fell on Jinpaowei beside him, he suddenly remembered how rude Zhong Lishuo, who was obsessed with music just now, bowed his hands in salute and said, "Thank you for letting me know that I was obsessed with music just now, and all kinds of rudeness are still to be expected. Don't blame."

She greeted the golden-robed guards beside her one by one, and not one was left behind. Zhong Lishuo's eyes fell on the woman in the lead, and he said, "I wonder if I can stay here with the adults, after listening to this song?"

"It's okay, please." Unlike the gentle response just now, the adult's voice seemed a little cold. Zhong Lishuo didn't care about these changes, and listened to the song while lying on the railing.

She didn't know that the person she had been looking forward to seeing was standing behind her, staring at her. The little princess next to the queen was about to say something, and was about to open her lips when she saw the queen put her index finger on her lips to signal her to keep silent.

The little princess looked at the queen, and then at the boy who was listening to the song quietly, swallowing all the voices.

The little princess suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she once went to the study to find the prince's brother-in-law to play, but what she saw was the appearance of the eldest sister putting a cape on the sleeping prince lying on the desk. At that time, she ran over excitedly, but was held in her arms by the eldest sister, and pressed her index finger to the lips that she was about to speak. What did the eldest sister say at that time, oh, she said softly: "Shh, Ning'er, please don't disturb Your Highness, His Royal Highness is too tired, let her sleep for a while."

At that time, she was still young and unsympathetic, but at this moment, the little princess's eyes gradually turned red.

The queen stood behind Zhong Lishuo, looking at the side face that seemed astonishing when they first met, the hand hanging on the waist moved an inch, but she was too late to stick out.

The golden robe guards who followed behind His Majesty fell silent, and accompanied the Queen to listen to the song quietly.

At the end of the song, there was a lot of noise. The young man in white didn't care what others said about his charm, he held the shakuhachi in his hand and turned and left the lotus leaf platform.

Zhong Lishuo leaned on the railing and looked at his leaving back, thinking what the song was called. This should be a new song, I really want to ask this person about the score.

"If the young master wants the score, you might as well ask at the Hongwen Museum. As far as I know, this Young Master Lin is a musician of the Hongwen Museum, and he did not enter the official circle with his father." The woman's voice sounded gentle and gentle. Softly, like the softest spring water, it makes people feel very comfortable.

Her words this time made Zhong Lishuo realize once again that he was speaking from his heart again. Looking up a little embarrassed, Zhong Lishuo finally set his eyes on the woman in front of him.

Le Zhengsu, who was born in Lanzhou, has been sick all the year round, but he will be raised for more than half a year, and his stature has jumped up, so he is much taller than most women. The golden-robed Lord in front of him could only reach her lower lip.

The woman had a pretty face, and was wearing a golden robe guard's primrose dress. Although she was petite, she looked very handsome. Zhong Lishuo settled down, his eyes fell into the other's eyes, and the moment they met, as if all eyes were caught, she was deeply immersed in those dark and translucent eyes, and an unusually familiar feeling came over her. mind.

She must have seen these eyes somewhere.
