Hearing what Murong Zhi said, Emperor Yongye waved his hand, and his tone changed again, becoming more casual, "You all go down, lest your mother and concubine still come because you delayed the start of the banquet." Blame me for not letting anyone go."
Murong Zhi said with a smile, "National affairs are the most important thing, mother and concubine will naturally not blame the father."
Murong Yan has always been on good terms with Murong Zhi, because he lost his mother and concubine since he was a child, and now he has more concubine Shu to take care of him, and now he also responded to Murong Zhi's words, "Concubine Shu is gentle and respectful, and she knows righteousness, so naturally she won't blame her Father's."
Speaking of this, Emperor Yongye also changed his tone, "Forget it, I haven't participated in Concubine Shu's banquet for many years, why not go to see this year, looking at these juniors, I will feel young."
Murong Zhi said with a smile, "Father is not old yet."
Emperor Yongye laughed when he heard this, and Fang Ming, the eunuch who was serving beside him, also raised his voice, "Show Biyuan..."
Let's say that in Biyuan at this time, Su Yunchu and Zhao Zhiyun had just returned, they were sitting in similar seats and chatting, and Concubine Shu had also arrived.
As everyone got up one after another, bent their knees and packed their luggage, and exhaled the words "Greetings to Concubine Shu", a graceful and luxurious concubine stepped into the green garden, with every gesture that a woman in the palace should have Su Yunchu slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Hua, only to see that the middle-aged woman standing in a high position was extremely beautifully maintained. As far as she knew, Concubine Shu was almost forty now. But it seems that there is no trace of old-fashioned, and the gestures of hands and feet are still bright and beautiful of young women.
Concubine Shu's arrival meant the real start of the banquet, but it was still inevitable to have a scene.
"I invite everyone to come here today to enjoy the flowers. It's just a fun for everyone to appreciate the good things. This year's flower viewing banquet is the same as in previous years. I am older, and I also like to watch you play the piano, dance, sing and write poems. You guys You don’t need to be restrained today, just show off your talents, and if you win the first place, I will reward you.” In the tone, one can hear the kindness and kindness of some elders towards younger generations.
Saying that, the nanny behind Concubine Shu has already taken out an exquisite box.
"This is the Pearl of the South China Sea that His Majesty bestowed upon me many years ago. Today, if anyone wins the first place in the Flower Appreciation Festival, I will reward her with this Pearl of the South China Sea!"
The people below took a deep breath and exclaimed for a while, Concubine Shu's reward, the Pearl of the South China Sea, the things the emperor bestowed on Concubine Shu, these are all exciting.
But Concubine Shu looked at the judges' seats which were mostly empty, and said, "This year's judges are late, this garden is full of beauties, even this palace is moved by seeing them, don't they? Would you like to come?"
Concubine Shu's words made the daughters below both ashamed and happy. Su Yunchu looked at it and felt that Concubine Shu deserved to be favored by the emperor, she was very talkative and seemed approachable.
Therefore, the atmosphere in Biyuan, which had become somewhat reserved after seeing Concubine Shu, was also broken by Concubine Shu's words.
However, before the judges arrived, another person came. Following the sound of "Concubine Hua is here..." everyone turned their heads and bowed their knees to say hello.
Concubine Hua came in with a smile, "My sister knows that today is my sister's annual flower viewing party, so I came here uninvited. I won't blame my sister for disturbing my sister's pleasure, right?"
Concubine Shu also went up to greet Concubine Hua, and held the hand holding the handkerchief with Concubine Hua, "Of course not, one more person is also more lively. Since my sister is here, there is no reason not to welcome her."
Talking and laughing, they brought Concubine Hua up, and someone prepared a chair next to her seat.
Following Concubine Hua's seat, before everyone could react, Fang Ming shouted again in a high-pitched voice, "The emperor is here..."
Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua looked at each other, and they came down to greet each other, and all the ladies also got up and greeted each other with their luggage, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live..."
"My concubine greets the emperor..." Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua both stepped forward.
Emperor Yongye stepped into Biyuan, followed by five princes, it was really mighty, but he didn't pay much attention to the ladies in the courtyard, but walked directly to Concubine Shu's seat, while walking, said heartily, "Get up, today is Concubine Shu's banquet, you don't have to be cautious, I just haven't come for many years, I just want to come and see this year."
Concubine Shu followed Yongye Emperor, and walked forward together with him, "It is my honor for the emperor to come."
After sitting down on the chair, Emperor Yongye opened his mouth, looked at the people below, and then turned his head to look at Concubine Shu, with a hint of a smile in his voice, "I'm not late, am I?"
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "No, the banquet hasn't started yet, and Concubine Hua's younger sister has just arrived."
Concubine Hua also spoke at this time, "The emperor came at the right time, and the banquet is about to start. The concubine was looking at the excitement at my sister's side, so I wanted to come and have a look."
Emperor Yongye was obviously in a good mood, "If that's the case, let's start."
Concubine Shu looked at the five princes who were present and said, "Originally, I wanted to let King Zhi and King Yan be the judges for this year. The five princes are ready, especially Prince Jing, who hasn't been back to Beijing for many years, and just caught up with the excitement this year."
Emperor Yongye also nodded in agreement, and waved at the five people, "Go to the judges' seat."
The emperor had spoken, and they could only walk to the judges' seat.
When all the girls in Biyuan heard this, they were all shy and happy. It was such a rare opportunity to be able to perform their talents in front of several lords!
When Murong Yuan was nominated by Concubine Shu, he didn't express anything.
Murong Ze looked at Su Yunchu with a smile on his face.
Su Yunchu naturally knew the look in his eyes, but there was a slight doubt on his face, and he didn't understand why the big boy was doing this. Her eyes were a little innocent and suspicious, but she couldn't show much.
Murong Yuan just glanced at Murong Ze indifferently, and Murong Ze immediately put his expression aside and sat down on the judging panel.
However, Su Yunchu laughed heartily. When he first saw Murongze, he thought he was just a fun-loving rich man. Unexpectedly... and during the few days in the Blue Eagle Army camp, Su Yunchu, Murongze and Yan Yishan were quite different. He seemed much more familiar than Murong Yuan.
It's just that Murong Yuan is not like those two, he pestered Su Yunchu to ask about things when he had nothing to do, Murong Ze was interested in her idea of punishing people, and Yan Yishan was interested in the miraculous army she talked about.
Only Murong Yuan was indifferent, and she had a lot of communication with her, and for some reason, she seemed to have a very tacit understanding not to have too many conversations and contacts with him.
Su Yunchu has never thought about this issue, maybe even she herself is not aware of it.
