Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 97

The two walked forward in disgust with each other, and they kept their mouths shut along the way. With great difficulty, he returned to the Changqiu Palace, and Zhai was startled when he saw the fifth prince who was soaked all over. The story of the little lady who fell into the water and acted bravely. Zhai Yu was convinced.

When the bell rang for the third time, the eunuch who had sent to Xu Meiren to get the clothes had not returned, so Zhai Yu had to change Ling Wuxuan's youth clothes to the fifth prince. The fifth prince almost shed tears: "I have prepared a very beautiful dress for today's birthday banquet, but I didn't expect it to be used." The father and the emperor will not pay attention to him if he does not wear eye-catching clothes~~~

Shao Shang caressed himself The beautiful new clothes on her body showed a kindergarten teacher-like smile: "On the bright side,

maybe Your Majesty will think that His Highness is very thrifty." "On the bad side, the father may feel that I neglect my mother's birthday! "If that's the case, he will definitely sell Cheng Shaoshang!

At three quarters of the hour, Shao Shang and the Fifth Prince were surrounded by a group of maids and eunuchs to the Xuanming Hall. Along the way, the colorful lanterns in the garden were shining like neon lights, and the figures were mottled like flowers.

Approaching the brightly lit hall in front, I saw a tall and slender figure standing on the high rank. Even if the rank was walking up and down, he was still eye-catching and unconcealed, just like the gods in ancient myths who guide the lost at sea. A splendid lighthouse built for ships, stands motionless on the dark shores of the stormy waves.

Ling Budo took a slight step forward, he had already seen Shao Shang and the Fifth Prince.

Shao Shang and the fifth prince invariably slowed down their pace, like a small beast seeing a common natural enemy. Shaoshang whispered: "Don't worry, I only said that I saved you after you accidentally fell into the water, and I didn't mention

it at all." The fifth prince sighed: "For the sake of friends, I will tell you- "It 's good to tell the truth."

Shao Shang was still puzzled, and the fifth prince moved lightly and quickly away from her side, running towards the prince and his wife who were standing far away at the door of the palace. She had to walk forward alone, and when she was two steps away from ascending the stairs, Ling Budo stretched out her slender and broad palm towards her, Shao Shang hesitated for a moment, and then put his little hand on it.

Ling Budo led her to look left and right. Under the neon lights, the girl's white and tender face was reflected in various colors, and even the light crimson skirt and robe on her body could not see the embroidery. She looked at Ling Budo, lowered her head, pinched her cuffs, as if she didn't know what to say. In this way, she was more like a little girl who was at a loss with paint all over her body.

Ling Budo didn't speak, took her hand and walked into the hall. Who knew that the passing eldest princess was there, and teased: "In the end, it's a new person's love, and we have to hold hands for such a long walk." The concubine came over and smiled: "Oh, you are young and affectionate. After you get married, your children and children will be entangled in trivial matters all day long.

" Seeing the second princess and the second concubine come up from the other step in an intimate manner. Both of them were wearing crane cloak feather robes, and the long robe sleeves drooped down, covering their arms, and upon closer inspection, they realized that their fingers were intertwined and clasped tightly.

——The concubine was a little embarrassed. The eldest princess snorted badly, turned around and stepped into the hall. The concubine cleared her throat and followed.

Seeing this, the second princess and her husband looked at each other, not knowing why.

Shao Shang couldn't help but burst out laughing, turned to look at Ling Budo, but found that he was also looking at her. The four eyes were facing each other, and they both felt that the eyes of the other were shining like stars, and the beauty was unbelievable. Shao Shang looked at Ling Budo's dark brown glazed eyes, seemed to understand the meaning, and nodded vigorously.

Ling Bu questioned: "What are you nodding."

"I think you are right."

"What am I thinking?"

"You know." - You hope that we will be like the second princess and the concubine in the future.

Ling Buzhu smiled, squeezed the girl's little hand lightly, and suddenly pulled her to the side where no one was there, and whispered, "Then, why did you come here with the fifth prince."

Shaoshang staggered two steps, and quickly He replied: "...The fifth prince just fell into the water accidentally, I pulled him up, because Xiaojing Lake is close to Changqiu Palace, so I asked him to go to Changqiu Palace to change clothes and drink ginger soup."

The smile on Ling Budo's face slowly faded: "The fifth prince can't swim, and he has never been willing to go near the water, so why did he go to the lake when he was so good? Also, why did you leave Changqiu Palace and go to Xiaojing Lake? ."

Shao Shang was a bit stagnant, stammered: "Uh, this, this is because, because..."

Ling Budo looked at the girl's whole body and said slowly: "I don't know why you left Changqiu Palace, but you It must have been the fifth prince and his party on the road. If he spoke rudely to you, you used a plan to lure him away from the crowd until the lake fell into the water again - no wonder, if there is only the fifth prince alone, you don't need to lead him to the lake. Can I get rid of him. Is that what I said?"

Shao Shang opened her mouth slightly, and a very familiar sense of surprise rose in her heart - guessing like she had seen herself, with calculations like water, she felt that she was the best. Get used to it as soon as possible, as the future may often feel it.

"Why do you like to lie so much, why can't you tell the truth?" Ling Budo frowned.

Shao Shang threw off his hand heavily, and said in a muffled voice, "I will avenge my own revenge myself. The fifth prince has a bad mouth. I have already taught him a lesson, so I don't need you to teach me!" After speaking, he hurried into the hall. go.

After entering the hall, after the palace maid led Shao Shang to the seat reserved, she was still sullen and angry-as for what she was angry about, she herself did not know. Whether it was because the trick was exposed or was accused of lying, which made her more angry, she still didn't know.

After a while, Ling Budo was served by the eunuch and walked into the hall, walked slowly to her side and sat down.

"I don't mean to blame you for being untruthful, or for doing your own thing. I just want to teach you that you are not alone, you still have me."

"I will always protect you."

"You don't have to meet me once . When it comes to things, think about handling it by yourself."

"You have me, you have to remember."

He didn't turn his head, but looked down at the lacquered wood pattern on the table, with a handsome profile. Shao Shang suddenly felt a fever in his heart, a kind of irritability that Zhang Huang was at a loss for what to do. The two sat silently like this until the feast.

The birthday banquet was not large in scale. In addition to the rich wine and food, singing and dancing, there were only a dozen more noble ministers and their families than the usual imperial family banquet. The young merchant only knew one Yuhou, one Cuihou, and one surnamed Wu. Bearded General.

Tonight, Concubine Yue looked extraordinarily virtuous and low-key, with her low eyebrows pleasing to the eye from beginning to end, like a little daughter-in-law who had just entered the door, she was too shy to even raise her head. The empress seemed to be very familiar with this kind of appearance, both helpless and funny. If it is said that the Empress is a radiant pearl in the deep sea, graceful and dignified, and dignified, Concubine Yue is a riverside beauty with white dew and frost, her beauty is refreshing, and she tossed and turned.

When Shao Shang lowered his head to pick up the fallen hairpins, he saw Concubine Yue leaning over to toast to the emperor. The emperor secretly pulled the corner of her skirt under the food table, and Concubine Yue slapped her away with a heavy palm.

Shao Shang secretly sighed. She didn't blame the emperor. In the position of the Supreme Being of Ninety-five Five, no one would say anything even if the emperor replaced a teenage girl every year to pet him, but the emperor only guarded two wives and concubines. Today, he has lived a more than ordinary Duke Hou Fu Jia has a pure heart and few desires, precisely because he is a person who is very affectionate.

The position on the top of the family and the country, the people in the depths of the palace, each have their own helplessness, what is most needed is compromise and goodwill, no one is qualified to be truthful.

One toast, one congratulation, plus one commercial tout, followed by birthday gifts for each. The ministers and the princes and princesses put their minds on it, whether it is precious, or novel, or beautiful, or unheard of -

the prince and his wife asked someone to carry up a jade unicorn with a height of more than a foot, the whole body is white and crystal clear. The second prince's face turned green at that time, because his gift was also a unicorn statue of similar size, but it was pure gold. The two brothers add up, it is just a taste of elegance and popular, just fine, just fine.

Seeing this, the Crown Princess gave a sarcastic smile.

Shortly after the second prince gave birth, her face was still swollen and swollen. At this time, she was expressing with a helpless expression that this lump of gold was definitely not her aesthetic.

The congratulations from the eldest princess and his wife are also very valuable, but it doesn't look like they were given to the queen.

A white jade goblet with openworked goblet - it's a pity that the queen doesn't drink alcohol every day; a single plain gauze as thin as a cicada's wings - it's a pity that the queen is afraid of the cold and not the heat, and can wear a full set of dark clothes in the summer, but the emperor is the emperor Very afraid of heat.

Concubine Yue was keeping her head down and pretending to be honest, and she couldn't see her expression; the emperor didn't pay attention to the details, so he praised the eldest daughter and son-in-law for being bothered with a smile;

Ling Wuxuan was presenting an old bamboo slip. The queen opened it and burst into tears. It turned out that this was the manuscript of Emperor Xuan Taigong. Xuan Taigong was fond of poetry and prose, and often gave his own works to friends, rather than treasured them, so the Xuan family did not keep many papers. After many years of beacon and war, Xuan Taigong's hand scroll was long gone, but now Ling Budo did not know how to find it.

When the emperor saw the empress's surprised and happy appearance, he felt deeply that his adopted son had given him a long face. .

Most of the birthday gifts presented by the concubines below the third prince are quite satisfactory, only the second princess and his wife are quite innovative, presenting a life-size portrait - the empress dancing gracefully, vividly, purely with fine brushwork, with a dress The embroidery on the side is clearly visible, and it took the couple months of work.

The eldest princess on the side pouted with disdain on her face; however, the eldest concubine saw the empress's face full of love, and she was more sincere than when she received the salute before, and suddenly felt that the second child had a plan.

The most eye-catching is the birthday celebration group dance led by the fifth princess. It is a pity that at first glance, the momentum is huge, but it is actually only a few. There is nothing new in the matching of dance steps, and the pace is also scattered. The amount of effort involved can be seen at a glance. Concubine Yue tried to open her mouth several times and held back. The three empress and concubine did not say a word.

Young businessmen see this situation, secretly said that the five princesses should wait, and there will be a 'surprise' when they return home!

When all the gifts were over, the emperor saw that the queen was still unhappy, so he smiled and asked the second princess if she could improvise a dance, and the second princess smiled and responded. The second concubine held Xiao by the side, and said, "Your Majesty, Du Xiao is too weak, and I still need the sound of the piano.

The emperor glanced over and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Zisheng hasn't played the piano for a long time." On

such occasions, Ling Budo would not lose their face, so he stepped forward with a smile.

The emperor said to the foreign ministers on the side: "Among these children, Zisheng is the best when it comes to qin rhythm." The foreign ministers and family members on the side naturally responded in a row, and praised.

The emperor smiled contentedly, and the corner of his eyes touched Shao Shang, who was sitting quietly on the side, and leaned into the queen's ear: "Looking back, you also teach Shao Shang some talents. This little girl already has few words, and she is not very proficient in music theory, calligraphy and painting, so she is aggrieved. Sheng." The

queen laughed and sighed again: "Actually, the young merchants will play the piccolo. I have heard it a few times. Although the skill is not very skilled, it has a powerful aura. With time, I think it will become a great instrument." The

emperor was noncommittal: "I know too much . Be tolerant."

At this time, the three people in the hall had already negotiated a suitable arrangement, and the second princess danced and sang along with the harmony of the flute and flute. When everyone heard it, it was the unique song "Cai Wei", and some people applauded first.

The second princess drooped her sleeves and bowed her waist, her lotus steps moved gently, her waist curled between swings, as if she was stepping on the clouds when she slid, and her body staggered as if she was throwing a forest Swift. Xiao's voice was graceful and melodious, the sound of the violin was clear, and accompanied by the Qingyue woman's singing "...I've been there in the past, Yang Liu Yiyi. Now I'm thinking about it, the rain and snow are falling."

It was only in the middle of the song, and the royal family and officials in the banquet had put down their airs one after another, and joined the singing one after another while the wine was in full swing. The emperor was so happy that he personally came off the stage to sing and sing, so the crowd became more and more excited.

The second princess deserves to be a generation of dance masters. She dances lightly but not dignified. She smiles beautifully but dignified. The young businessman is stunned. She never knew that classical dance can be so beautiful.

After a short while, her eyes gradually shifted to the man sitting beside him playing the piano.

In such a strong and lively scene, everyone was full of alcohol, smiling and singing, and there were also those who danced and sang their praises. He was the only one, although he was in the most lively center of the hall, he seemed to be out of the way, and he was still very quiet.

Today, he is wearing a light-colored tunic with a light gold-pigmented yarn over it. On his right shoulder is embroidered a golden-brown scorpion with fangs and claws. The fangs are on his right chest, and one front claw is placed on the neckline, which just fits his slender neck. With a clear Adam's apple, the other front paw sank into the belt with the collar, and the long tail hangs down to the hem along the strong waist and abdomen, powerful and fierce, but quiet and solemn.

Shao Shang can't help but wonder, why are we most likely to be happy because of other people's liking?

In her short life, she had a crush once and was crushed once, but both experiences never made her particularly happy, and she was even a little disdainful. From her utilitarian thinking, the so-called secret love is incompetence in the final analysis. If she had the ability, she would have won the big brother next door long ago, and the president of Xianyu had already won himself, so why do you need secret love.

So, is it just for vanity.

Shao Shang sneered, only the weak and Luther would use false prosperity to deceive others and deceive themselves.

If there is such a person that should not have existed in your life plan, would you still be happy because of his liking?

Going back to the original question, why do we probably feel happy because others like it.

It is not vanity, irrelevant to use, and even hinders your planning, restricts your habits, and restricts your freedom, so why do you feel happy.

I don't know if it was because of the urge to drink, Shao Shang felt his cheeks get hot, and when he lowered his head and loosened his neckline, he saw Ling Budo's wine scorpion lying in front of him, and there was a shallow circle of wine inside.

She looked at it for a long time, then picked up the wine scepter and drank the rest of the wine towards the side where he had drank.

Ling Budo has been looking over from time to time, and at this moment, he happened to see this scene, and almost missed a chord in a trance.

After the song was over, everyone including the emperor was still singing and laughing, but he pushed aside the piano case and hurried back to the table. After sitting down, he stared at the girl and asked, "Why do you drink my wine."

Shao Shang lowered his head and said sullenly, "Your wine tastes better than mine."

Ling Budo smiled, "You just came back again. Why are you staring at me, everyone is looking at your majesty and the second princess."

Shao Shang raised her head and looked at the man beside her who was as beautiful as a jade bib. Just looking at him like this made her feel a secret joy in her heart, not only unknown to others, but also unknown to herself. . In her bleak and impoverished young life, she seldom appreciated beauty purely, and seldom took pleasure from her heart without any utilitarian purpose.

Then, holding the case in one hand, she straightened her upper body, and quickly kissed the man—she wanted to kiss him, but unfortunately she was sluggish when she was slightly drunk, and in the end she kissed his Adam's apple heavily.

A flash of disbelief flashed across Ling Budo's face, his big palms clasped the girl tightly, only to see her blushing and hot, her eyes dodging. Ling Budo's eyes were as deep as ink, and he looked at the girl tenderly for a while, Shao Shang felt that his eyes were as lingering as silk, endlessly revolving, joyful and profound.

He lowered his head and gently kissed the girl's bright red mouth.

Shao Shang was suddenly dizzy, and felt that the lanterns hanging on the roof of the hall seemed to be spinning, the light and shadow wandered, and his eyes were full of golden light.
