Yun Chuyao and the others rushed to the reception banquet. Naturally, they did not dress up for riding every day as they did when they were on their way. Not only did they change into beautiful skirts, but they also painted flowers and red makeup. Their originally delicate and beautiful facial features looked... It is more dazzling and naturally dazzling.
The Jin Emperor had fine features and a majestic appearance, and the concubines in his palace were also among the most noble ladies from aristocratic families. Each of his children was as beautiful as a flower, and the children he gave birth to were naturally of excellent appearance and excellent temperament.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yun Chuyao and the second princess grew up among beauties. It is hard to be amazed when they see a beautiful person.
But now, the second princess actually pointed at someone so excitedly and exaggeratedly, saying that she was beautiful. How could Yun Chuyao not be surprised? I couldn't help but raise my head and look at this person!
Just one glance!
Yun Chuyao was shocked to the spot!
Yue Ji!
Is it Yue Ji? !
This is Yue Ji who risked her life to save her father when he was assassinated in Lushan. She was also brought back to the palace by her father. She continued to be favored by her and finally gave birth to a son. After her father died, she Yue Ji who chose to hang herself!
Isn’t she from Zhongshan County Prince?
Why does it appear here!
Could it be that her first meeting with her father was not in Lushan at all, but at the reception banquet prepared by King Xian? !
Yun Chuyao's heart beat like thunder!
"Third sister? Third sister!"
The second princess was frightened when she saw Yun Chuyao staring intently at the dancers in the banquet. Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing was rapid. She reminded her in a low voice, "What are you doing? Are you really stunned?"
Yun Chuyao quickly came to her senses and said calmly, "She is indeed a stunning beauty."
This is true.
Even if there are many beauties in the palace, it is still difficult to find someone as beautiful as Yue Ji, especially since her most outstanding feature is not her appearance, but her temperament that is as bright and cold as the moonlight!
This makes her even more irreplaceable!
It's just that in Yun Chuyao's impression, Emperor Jin didn't seem to like cold-tempered women. In the palace, women with cold temperaments, such as queens and concubines, were far from being favored, and were even favored. After being treated coldly, it makes no sense that Emperor Jin changed his preferences as soon as Yue Ji appeared, right?
There's something strange about her.
"It's okay, third sister," the second princess stretched out her warm hand, patted the back of Yun Chuyao's hand, and said with a smile, "You are still young. When you grow up, you will definitely be much prettier than her!"
After saying that, she paused again: "But then again, don't you think she looks familiar?"
Yun Chuyao's eyelids twitched!
Yue Ji looks familiar? In other words, who does she look like? For some reason, Yun Chuyao suddenly had a hunch - I'm afraid that with only the last layer of window paper left, she could find out the truth!
"It looks a bit like you!"
The second princess said: "Look how much her eyes look like yours. They are both slightly upward-looking willow-leaf eyes. They look cold and cold. They are so beautiful. However, your eyes are rounder and still dark. Look. It looks better, she——"
Before she could finish her words, she heard a muffled "clang"!
It was the sound of the tea cup falling on the table!
The entire hall fell silent instantly, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the holy message with uneasiness!
Only Yun Chuyao was confused!
If Yue Ji looks like someone else, that's fine. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a coincidence. But Yue Ji looks like her, and she is Leng Yue's child. She seems to be somewhat similar to Leng Yue. Does this mean that Yue Ji looks like her? Ji is also like Leng Yue to a certain extent?
Could this be the reason why Yue Ji is favored?
Yun Chuyao pursed her lips tightly, feeling very confused. She thought of many things in that moment!
"look up."
A voice suddenly sounded.
It was Emperor Jin.
Yun Chuyao took advantage of the fact that her position was not conspicuous, so she took this opportunity to look down, and just in time to see Yue Ji slowly raising her head, revealing a hibiscus face, everyone held their breath for an instant!
She was probably in her early twenties, and she was extremely beautiful. On her cold face, there were actually a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water. Under the light of the lamp, she looked particularly gentle and charming. The cold and heat, the noble and the coquettish, all collided and blended together. , making her even more beautiful and mysterious.
Maybe she had danced for a while, and she was a little tired. The sides of her cheeks were slightly red, and she was panting, which made her heart beat faster inexplicably.
Of course, not everyone appreciates her beauty.
Such as the queen.
Another example is Xian Fei.
Ever since Yue Ji raised her head, the faces of the Queen and Concubine Xian had never looked better, especially the Queen. She clenched her teeth and stared at Yue Ji's face, her eyes as cold as if she were looking at a dead person.
But soon, she hid all her emotions and replaced them with calmness.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Yun Chuyao seemingly accidentally.
Nothing wrong with that.
Only then did the queen look away.
The hall became quieter and quieter, and the only thing that could be heard was the heartbeats of everyone. Even if the heart was as big as the second princess, she instinctively realized the danger, couldn't help but sit up straight, secretly reached out, pinched Yun Chuyao's palm, and wrote in a panic : Keep you from leaving! Keep you from leaving! It’s okay this time! We can't leave even if we want to!
Yun Chuyao said nothing, but still patted the back of the second princess's hand to express comfort.
I don’t know how long it took, but even Yue Ji, who was kneeling in the hall, felt her legs were weak and could no longer hold up. When the Xian Wang suddenly said: "Yue Ji, please come forward and let His Majesty take a good look -"
Emperor Jin's eyes darkened and he repeated: "Yue Ji?"
"yes."
As if he couldn't see the cold face of Emperor Jin, the wise king explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. This Yue Ji is from Yue. Before, she has been serving in the palace of the Zhongshan County Prince. No, my lord. My brother went to the county prince's mansion in the past month and happened to see her. Seeing that she danced well, he brought her to Lucheng!"
Emperor Jin's expression softened, but his eyes were still dark, and when he looked down at Yue Ji, his eyes were even more devoid of warmth.
Faintly, there is also a trace of murderous intention!
Yun Chuyao was in a position where she could see the Jin Emperor's murderous intentions. Her heartbeat was slightly panicked, but she was not surprised. How could her father not know that her father was able to break out of the siege in the battle for the right to inherit the throne? What does it mean when Yue Ji appears in front of him?
Regardless of whether the person behind Yue Ji is the Prince of Zhongshan, a wise king, or someone else, their goal is the Jin Emperor!
If this happens! The benefits are endless!
If not! It’s just a loss of a dancer!
A sure-fire deal!
As for Yue Ji——
It only depends on her life.
Presumably, Yue Ji also knew that her situation was not good. When she knelt on the ground, her face was pale, her body was trembling, and even her lips didn't have much blood. When Emperor Jin's cold eyes fell on her, her heart suddenly pounded. Shen, great fear surged into his heart.
tears.
Silently dripping.
