Chapter 143 Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet
Everyone stood up immediately and bowed respectfully in unison. Emperor Kangren, Queen Wang, and the concubines walked in slowly, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, with a magnificent momentum.
Murong Xuanyi and Prince Rui also quickly followed the other ministers in saluting. Emperor Kang Ren looked around, his eyes lingering on Yuan Ying for a moment. Then he waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up.
As the emperor, empress and concubines took their seats, Emperor Kangren said a few words of blessing and then announced the start of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet for Viewing the Moon. Music sounded and the dancers began to dance lightly, but the dancing at palace banquets was just so-so after watching too many of them.
Yuan Ying sat aside, secretly complaining in his heart; he had only been here for less than a year, and had attended several palace banquets of all sizes, which was really boring. It was estimated that there were not many ministers who wanted to attend such palace banquets. After all, wouldn't it be nice to be at home with your family? Come to accompany an old man.
Yuan Ying suddenly noticed a strange gaze falling on her. She followed the line of sight and saw Wei Ruolan hurriedly lowering her head.
Yuan Ying's eyes passed over her inadvertently, and he unexpectedly found that her belly was slightly bulging. She couldn't help but roll her eyes: Even in this state, she is not still thinking about Murong Xuanyi, right?
Alas! Fate plays tricks on people. If Murong Xuanyi had not met her, perhaps he would have accepted the marriage offer and formed a happy marriage with Wei Ruolan, creating a beautiful story. Thinking of this, Yuan Ying felt a little sorry for Wei Ruolan.
But on second thought, Murong Xuanyi is now her, Yuan Ying's man, so how could she let others think about him?
Taking advantage of the intervals between singing and dancing, the ministers began to take turns toasting Emperor Kang Ren and saying some auspicious words.
When Yuan Ying was immersed in his thoughts, a sudden voice broke the silence of the banquet. Princess Anyang stood up, smiled, and said to Emperor Kang Ren: "Father, I feel unwell and want to go to the side hall to rest first. I hope you will grant me permission."
Emperor Kang Ren looked at Princess Anyang with concern and said, "Go quickly and ask the imperial physician to take a look."
Princess Anyang bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, father. I am fine." After that, she turned to look at Yuan Ying and asked gently, "Sir Yuan, could you escort me to the side hall?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ying first looked at Emperor Kang Ren, who nodded slightly and said calmly, "Go ahead."
Anyang blinked at Yuan Ying, and they both left the main hall. Anyang said, "It's so boring in there, let's go out and enjoy the moon. They will come out to enjoy the moon later anyway," and she walked lightly towards a moon-viewing platform. The moonlight was like a silk thread, spreading silver light all over the ground.
Yuan Ying looked at Anyang, the clever one, and agreed: "Indeed, it is too boring inside. The scenery under the moonlight is something that is rarely seen in the world."
"The bright moon rises over the sea, and we all share this moment across the world!" Yuan Ying couldn't help but say.
The two stepped onto the moon-viewing platform, surrounded by the low sounds of stringed instruments, which formed a sharp contrast with the bustling palace banquet in the distance.
"Yuan Ying, are you nervous about getting married soon?" Anyang asked Yuan Ying.
Yuan Ying was stunned: "Why should I be nervous?"
Then she asked back, "Were you nervous when you got married?"
Anyang's eyes flashed with memories. "At that time, I was more expectant and curious. After all, it was a big step in life. But I was also a little nervous."
Then, Anyang turned her gaze to Yuan Ying and said, "At that time, I had a good impression of you, but I never expected that you were a woman." After she finished speaking, she thought of the stupidity she had done at that time, and she couldn't help laughing out loud, her laughter was full of joy and relief.
Yuan Ying smiled slightly and said jokingly: "If I had known that the princess was interested in me, I would have been reincarnated as a man and saved myself from all this trouble."
Anyang said lightly, "Who is interested in you? I just admire your talent."
The two stood side by side, looking up at the bright moon, their conversation filled with indescribable joy and harmony.
Sure enough, an hour later, Emperor Kang Ren and everyone else walked out of the hall and stepped onto the moon-viewing platform on the high platform.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be freed from the constraints of the palace walls and was able to roam freely in this world that belonged exclusively to the moonlight. Some of them walked alone, some walked in groups of two or three, some admired the moon and expressed their feelings, and some whispered to each other, and everyone's face was filled with indescribable freedom and joy.
As the moonlight became brighter, a poetic feeling welled up in everyone's hearts. Prince Shun, wearing a Confucian robe and holding a folding fan, walked slowly to the edge of the platform, looking at the bright moon, and couldn't help but feel poetic.
He pondered for a moment and then began to chant: "The moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the nine provinces; its bright light shines all night long." His voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of nature, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone gathered around and listened with bated breath. Then the literati's poems flowed out like spring water...
As the poems of the civil officials became more and more wonderful, more and more people joined in reciting poems. Some of them quoted classics, some improvised, some expressed their feelings, and some expressed their emotions.
At today's banquet, King Rui did not take the initiative to ask for poetry and couplets, which made Yuan Ying feel strange. Such a coquettish person was really abnormal today.
Her gaze could not help but linger on Prince Rui for a few more seconds. She saw that he looked indifferent and occasionally talked in a low voice with the ministers beside him, but he did not seem as ostentatious as before.
At this moment, a rare smile broke out on Emperor Kang Ren's face.
In this warm atmosphere, Murong Xuanyi seemed absent-minded. He was immersed in his own thoughts the whole night, as if waiting for some important moment to come.
Not long after, a young eunuch walked in quickly, quietly breaking the quiet atmosphere around him. He bowed and reported with a bit of caution and awe in his voice: "Your Majesty, there seems to be unusual movement in the side hall next door. It sounds... it sounds..."
Emperor Kang Ren frowned slightly, looking a little impatient, and urged in a deep voice: "How does it sound? Tell me quickly!"
The eunuch's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly continued, "It sounds like someone is having an affair... Commander Lu has already sent people to surround the side hall." As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subtle and tense.
Emperor Kang Ren's face suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily: "How can this be! Who dares to be so presumptuous in the palace!"
The ministers looked at each other in shock. No one had expected that such a ridiculous thing would happen in such a solemn occasion. Yuan Ying and Princess Anyang were also stunned and exchanged meaningful glances.
Emperor Kang Ren angrily followed the eunuch to the side hall. There was no light in the side hall, but the air was filled with an indescribable ambiguous atmosphere.
As Emperor Kang Ren's footsteps echoed in the empty hall, they gradually approached the two figures. However, the man and woman inside were so absorbed in their lovemaking that they were completely unaware of the changes in the outside world.
Emperor Kang Ren suddenly exerted his strength and kicked the door open. With the dim light of the palace lantern in the eunuch's hand, he looked carefully, and the scene in front of him instantly ignited the raging anger in his heart, and he was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
On the bed, I saw a naked man and woman entangled with each other, without any regard for the presence of others.
He originally thought that this was just an affair between a guard and a palace maid, but he never thought...
