www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
"Master, Princess Yaoguang got a 'silver and red pair'."
After the secret guard finished reporting, he retreated silently, leaving only Xiao Yi and Yuan Lingbai.
The original Ling Bo Dun felt that what he held in his hand was not a silk flower, but a piece of charcoal. He laughed dryly, and was a little afraid to look at Xiao Yi. Then, his shoulder was slapped hard, and the palm almost missed him. He didn't hit him so hard that he fell to the ground.
Yuan Lingbai raised his head and showed a smile that was even uglier than crying. He respectfully presented the "silver and red pair" in his hand and said, "Brother! Xiao Bai feels that this silk flower and your The temperament is more suitable, so just accept it, otherwise even the flowers will cry..."
Xiao Yi glared at him with disgust, took the silk flower over, hooked his shoulder with his hand, and said with a half-smile: "Xiao Bai, your martial arts seem to have slackened a lot recently. Even Uncle Yunyang's You can't even beat the small period, this is really not good. After the Fang Yan party is over, big brother, I will personally give you some tips!"
Yuan Lingbai wanted to cry but had no tears. Yunyangbo has been a general for generations. Only if he can defeat Yun Dynasty can he be a ghost!
Yuan Lingbai couldn't help but think of the last time he competed in the archery competition at Princess Yongyang's mansion. Just because he accidentally defeated Princess Yaoguang, his eldest brother dragged him to the martial arts field to practice sparring, causing him to be covered in blood. My muscles have been sore for almost ten days!
He must stay away from Princess Yaoguang in the future, so as not to suffer another unreasonable disaster...
"Xiao Bai..."
The deliberately protracted tone made Yuan Lingbai shudder, and then Xiao Yi stared at him with a suspicious look on his face and said, "Why did your mother prepare the 'Silver and Red Pair' for you?"
How could he know? Yuan Lingbaigan said with a smile: "I... Hahaha, coincidence, it must be a coincidence!"
"Is it possible that your mother has fallen in love with Princess Yaoguang?"
The tone full of danger made Yuan Lingbai shiver, and he waved his hands hastily: "No! Definitely not! My mother will not fall in love with Princess Yaoguang!"
Xiao Yi is unhappy.
His stinky girl is definitely the best girl. She is good everywhere and has no shortcomings. Why does Yuncheng look down on her? !
Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. Yuan Lingbai had the ability to observe words and emotions, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, but where was the mistake...
"You said your mother doesn't like her?"
"Yes..." As soon as Yuan Lingbai said the word "right", he felt Xiao Yi's eyes piercing him like a knife. Although he quickly thought about it and felt that he was right, for the safety of his life, he still said cautiously: "How can it be right? My mother said that Princess Yaoguang has both ability and political integrity, and is the best in the capital. Girl..." Seeing that Xiao Yi's expression softened slightly, he quickly continued, "It's just that my mother said that my son is too unworthy and completely unworthy of Princess Yaoguang. It makes her embarrassed to ask for marriage. It's really a pity... …”
"Hahaha, Princess Yuncheng is really discerning!"
Xiao Yi was satisfied, took the "Silver Red Qiao Pair" and walked away calmly. Yuan Lingbai, who was still staying in the same place, wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear and thought to himself: The eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother, even his thoughts are different from those of normal people.
……
Not to mention how Xiao Yizheng was looking forward to meeting later. At this time, the girls from Xiyuan were led by the maid to the Chenxiang Pavilion.
The girls walked slowly in twos and threes along a cobblestone path. At the end of the cobblestone path was a vast artificial lake, with warm sunlight shining on the lake, making the waves sparkle. There is a row of weeping willows planted on the lakeside. The willow branches hang down on the water, like girls standing by the water.
The crowd followed the winding promenade on the lake and arrived at the agarwood pavilion in the center of the lake. There is also a Yunyan Water Pavilion on the lake. The two water pavilions, one large and one small, are connected by a short corridor. They seem to complement each other and are cleverly integrated with the waterscape. There are beauty seats around the waterside pavilion for people to enjoy the scenery by leaning on the water.
Like the peony garden, the two water pavilions are separated by translucent white gauze, layer upon layer, hazy, and the white gauze flutters with the breeze, as if each dancer is dancing with the wind.
Through the layers of white gauze, the girls could see the young men passing through the water promenade on the other side and arriving at the Yunyan Waterside Pavilion next door, and also walking towards the Chenxiang Waterside Pavilion.
All the girls and gentlemen were a little surprised. Although the Princess of Yuncheng liked to match young boys and girls, she was also afraid of getting into trouble with private relationships. She rarely gave young gentlemen and girls the opportunity to have such close contact. .
Nangong Yue, Jiang Yixi and others naturally know the eldest princess of Yuncheng better than others, and they have vaguely guessed that today's Fangyan Banquet may not be simple.
Since there was a foreign man, the girls took out their white gauze and covered their faces, then slowly walked into the agarwood pavilion.
Many tables and chairs have been placed in the Chenxiang Pavilion, and all kinds of tea, snacks and fruits have been prepared, and maids in pink dresses are waiting on them.
The eldest princess of Yuncheng and the former prince consort sat on a mahogany armchair respectively, with a small table between them. From time to time they looked at each other, smiled, and exchanged a few words, full of tenderness and sweetness.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Prince Consort!"
Everyone saluted the eldest princess and his wife one after another. After Yuncheng ordered them to refrain from saluting, they all straightened up.
"You don't have to be so formal, please be more casual. Sit down and have some tea and snacks." Yuncheng motioned for everyone to sit down, and then continued, "I think most of the young men and girls have obtained peonies in the peony garden just now. Silk flowers!"
Immediately, a young man stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Back to Your Highness, I just happened to get a 'Purple Dragon Cup'. This 'Purple Dragon Cup' is really lifelike, which made me realize that making silk flowers is also a unique skill." ”
Emei whispered something in Yuncheng's ear, and Yuncheng looked at the young master with interest and said: "It turns out that Jin Ke passed it on to the young master. He is indeed a young talent!"
"That's right. Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." The young master said again.
As soon as they heard that the young man talking to Yuncheng through the veil was Yu Chuanlu, the fourth in Jinke, the ladies started a commotion and started whispering among themselves in twos and threes.
Purple Dragon Cup? Nangong Yue thought of something and looked thoughtfully at Ye Rongrong beside her. Not only her, Jiang Yixi and Yuan Yuyi also looked at her tacitly. They all thought of a certain possibility. Jiang Yixi raised her right eyebrow and glanced at Yuan Yuyi with anger and resentment. Yuan Yuyi must know. What mother Yuncheng was planning, but she kept it from them and did not reveal the most important information.
Yun Cheng glanced half a circle towards the girls with a half-smile, his eyes paused on Ye Rongrong's hand, and said: "I have prepared dozens of kinds of peonies and silk flowers today, and each one has the same flower. Two. Since this 'Purple Dragon Cup' is in the hands of the young master, the other one is among the ladies..."
When Yuncheng said this, there was a wave of waves in the waterside pavilion. Both the young men on the other side of Baisha and the girls here looked at each other in deep thought.
Yun Cheng gave Emei beside him a wink and said: "Emei, it's up to you to explain next."
"Yes, Your Highness." E Mei Fu walked to the middle and bowed respectfully to Chuan Lu, "Master Yu, please forgive me for being rude. I will use you as an example to explain today's 'Meeting Friends with Flowers' rules."
"My dear, please." Yu Chuanlu said hurriedly.
Emei then raised her voice and said: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, in order to add excitement to today's Fang Feast, Her Royal Highness the Princess has specially arranged a session of 'making friends with flowers'. For example, if Mr. Yu gets the Purple Dragon Cup silk flowers, he will You can collaborate with the girl who got another Purple Dragon Cup silk flower to perform a talent. If any young man or girl doesn't want to participate, just quietly hide the silk flower in your hand."
When Emei said this, most of the young ladies and gentlemen became interested. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess of Yuncheng came up with such a fresh and interesting way to play. Today's feast was indeed not in vain.
Of course, there are still ladies who don’t want to stand out and quietly hand the silk flowers in their hands to the maid next to them. Nangong Yue was about to do so, but Yuan Yuyi held her hand down.
Yuan Yuyi looked at Nangong Yue sheepishly, and said with a bit of pleading in her eyes: "Yue'er, mother told me to let you participate."
In just this brief pause, Emei had already ordered the maids to pull apart the white gauze in the middle, and the gentlemen walked towards the corresponding ladies with different silk flowers in their hands.
Some people are happy and some are worried!
Nangong Cheng immediately saw the man opposite holding the "imperial yellow" silk flower in his hand. He was looking at her with a smile, his eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky.
She and he share the same kind of silk flower. Could this be fate?
She lowered her head shyly, feeling her heart beating faster...
Bai Muxiao, who had been following Nangong Cheng, keenly noticed her strange behavior. He followed her gaze and saw a handsome man with deep eyebrows and an exotic look, looking thoughtful. With an expression on her face, she thought: Nangong Cheng must be almost fifteen years old. It is also the age when the girl is pregnant, no wonder...
The man holding the "Royal Robe Yellow" silk flower walked slowly towards Nangong Cheng.
"I have met His Royal Highness Prince Cheng!" Nangong Cheng tried to stay calm and curtsied dignifiedly.
Prince Cheng looked at Nangong Cheng tenderly, "Miss Nangong, please forgive me!"
At the same time, there was another person in front of Nangong Yue, who stretched out a "silver-red pair" and waved it in front of her eyes, looking at her with a smile.
Nangong Yue glanced at Yuan Yuyi quickly. For a moment, she thought Yuan Yuyi had been bribed, but she saw surprise in her eyes.
Is it really a coincidence?
Although to other people, getting the same silk flower should be a coincidence, but as soon as Xiao Yi encountered any coincidence, Nangong Yue had the intuition that he was cheating. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile lightly. Although her smile was hidden by the veil, in Xiao Yi's eyes, everything around her was still eclipsed, leaving her alone.
The Princess Yuncheng sitting at the top looked surprised. She had obviously arranged for Brother Bai and Nangong Yue to take the same silk flower, but... what was the problem? Princess Yuncheng felt extremely guilty, feeling that she was so sorry for her son! You can’t **** it away now...
"Ayi!"
At this moment, a soft and waxy female voice filled with joy suddenly sounded, and a silver-red figure rushed to Xiao Yi with shining eyes. It was the second princess.
Her soft and delicate voice made the man's heart flutter, but in the ears of the woman, it was a bit harsh, and it attracted many strange looks from around her.
But more people still cared about her affectionate shout to Xiao Yi, and speculated in their hearts: The second princess seemed to be very familiar with Prince Zhennan, could it be possible...
Xiao Yi frowned impatiently. He hadn't seen his stinky girl for a while. Who showed up so blindly?
Xiao Yi didn't even bother to take a look, and still looked at Nangong Yue with burning eyes. Nangong Yue, on the other hand, looked up at the second princess, and saw a trace of blush on the second princess's face under the thin veil. .
The second princess also noticed the "silver-red pair" in Nangong Yue's hand, and then looked at Xiao Yi's flower. A flash of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled, and the smile was extremely sweet: " Sister Yue, I see that you really like this 'silver-red pair'. How about you exchange this one with mine?" She said it very nicely, as if she really just wanted to exchange a peony silk flower with Nangong Yue. .
While speaking, she handed a "Zhao Fen" flower in her hand to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue felt a trace of unspeakable unhappiness in her heart. She said lightly: "Your Highness, Second Princess, Yaoguang also likes this silk flower very much. Please forgive Yaoguang for not being able to exchange it with you. Maybe you can look at other flowers. There is no one you like, and with your status, there might be a girl willing to exchange, but..." She deliberately raised her hand to put the silk flower on her chest, raised her lips and smiled, her voice was soft but sonorous, "I won't change the light!"
Nangong Yue's "No change" made Xiao Yi feel elated, and the smile reached his eyes.
These two princesses are really an eyesore. They came here to make people uncomfortable if they had nothing to do. If it weren’t for the fear of affecting the Fangyan party and preventing herself from performing talents with the stinky girl, Xiao Yi would have wanted to find the secret guard and throw her into the lake. never mind.
However, it feels great to be protected by a stinky girl!
"You..." The second princess became angry with embarrassment. She couldn't help but clenched her fists, secretly hating Nangong Yue for being so ignorant. But she was not willing to give in just yet.
So, the second princess pursed her lips and smiled, leaned into Nangong Yue's ear, and said with determination, "Sister Yue, I won't let you suffer. I will exchange it with you for the same silk flower as the third emperor brother. Okay?" Although she still doesn't know what kind of silk flowers the third emperor's brother Han Lingfu got, but as long as she comes forward, there will never be anyone who is as ignorant as Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue chuckled lightly. The second princess thought she would agree without hesitation. Just when she was feeling proud, she saw Nangong Yue take a step back and said: "Your Highness, the second princess, as a royal princess, you should be the most respected person in the world." What's the point of being a role model for a woman who is so difficult for others?" She said, saluting the eldest princess of Yuncheng who was sitting at the top, "Your Royal Highness, as the saying goes, 'If you don't follow the rules, you won't be able to make a circle.' Yaoguang felt that although It’s a game, but there should be rules.”
This statement was very reasonable and well-founded, and several girls and gentlemen on the side believed it deeply.
"It's true. Stop being ridiculous, Second Princess." Yuncheng, who was sitting at the top, was very dissatisfied with the Second Princess's unworthy behavior. As a royal princess, she actually wanted to use her status to "rob" Other people's silk flowers, such a petty thing, she can't do it. A concubine is a concubine, even if she is given the highest status, it will be useless.
As soon as Yuncheng said this, no one dared to say anything more. The second princess bit her lower lip slightly, and the scrutinizing eyes around her made her even more uncomfortable.
Seeing that the second princess was unable to get off the stage, Han Lingfu, holding a "Moon Palace Flower", hurriedly walked over and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Second Princess, it seems that my 'Moon Palace Flower' and your 'Zhao Fan' We have bad luck today and we are all alone. How about we, brother and sister, perform a talent together?"
This pair of twins, with their beautiful appearance and noble status, stand together. The man is handsome and the woman is pretty. It looks very pleasing to the eye.
The second princess pursed her lips, glanced at Nangong Yue secretly, and finally walked down the steps wisely: "Forget it, Third Emperor Brother, if we perform together, wouldn't it be unfair to others?"
The second princess and the third prince walked away, and this little disturbance was finally over.
Emei on the side quietly breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around and saw that except for the one who abstained, the other gentlemen and girls had already found the other party holding the same silk flower, so she said again: "Now, gentlemen, please Come forward and draw the order of performances." While speaking, another maid came to Emei holding a mahogany box, and the young men went up one by one to draw lots.
After that, E Mei raised her voice and asked: "I wonder which young master won the first place?"
"It should be me." A Cheng Wang readily raised a piece of paper with "one" written on it, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
In other words, the first ones to perform their talents were King Cheng and Nangong Cheng.
"It turns out to be His Highness Prince Cheng." E Mei said with a smile, "Next, His Highness Prince Cheng and Miss Nangong will have a stick of incense to discuss preparations. If there is anything that requires your help, Your Highness, please don't be polite!"
One stick of incense time? This time is really tight... After hearing this time limit, almost everyone else sympathized with Prince Cheng and Nangong Cheng.
Nangong Cheng's beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned. This beautiful woman's frown had a unique beauty, but it also seemed particularly pitiful.
Prince Cheng didn’t know what he whispered to Nangong Cheng. She thought about it for a moment, raised her lips slightly and nodded.
Following that, King Cheng said to E Mei, "Can you please prepare a piano for Miss Nangong?"
Of course E Mei hurriedly agreed and ordered a maid to fetch the piano.
Obviously, in the project performed by King Cheng and Nangong Cheng, Nangong Cheng will be responsible for playing the piano. So what does King Cheng plan to do?
This is a question in the minds of many people present, but King Cheng obviously has no intention of making it public. What is even more puzzling is that he did not even take any further actions, did not give any instructions to E Mei, and did not say anything more to Nangong Cheng. , as if you already have a plan in mind.
Although they were curious, everyone who needed to perform had no intention of paying attention to them at this time. After all, time was very tight for them.
Seeing everyone's anxious look, Xiao Yi proudly waved the note in his hand at Nangong Yue. He saw "Twenty-one" written on it, and he said leisurely: "Smelly girl , I’m very lucky!”
Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled softly. Among so many people, she got the last one. I really don’t know whether to say it’s good or bad luck.
But why does it matter?
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue stepped aside to talk. At this time, several young masters also began to take action. This one asked someone to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the other ordered someone to prepare jade flutes... The maids were all busy. stand up.
After a while, a maid in pink clothes fetched a piano, and other maids helped put the piano on the table and set up the piano.
After Nangong Cheng burned incense to cleanse his hands and adjusted the music of the piano, E Mei felt a little uneasy when she saw that King Cheng still didn't do anything. She couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Your Highness King Cheng, do you have any other orders? "Half the stick of incense has passed now, and there is not much time left for them.
Who would have thought that King Cheng actually smiled heartily, with a hint of exoticism in his facial features that were slightly darker than those of Dayu people, and said: "As long as Miss Nangong is well, I can start at any time."
Everyone was confused. This performance had already attracted countless eyeballs, but King Cheng's showdown made everyone even more curious.
Nangong Cheng nodded, her eyes like stars, her thin veil was blown up by the breeze, and her stunning appearance was looming.
King Cheng's breath was suffocated, but he returned to normal immediately. He stretched out his right hand, and everyone discovered that there was an extra green leaf in his palm.
In an instant, everyone understood what he was going to do!
Ye Flute!
Originally, if you just play the leaf flute alone, you will definitely not be able to get on the stage, but with Nangong Cheng's piano music as the main part, supplemented by the leaf flute, it is somewhat interesting, and more importantly, it must be relatively simple to coordinate. Less error-prone.
This Chang Di King Cheng is somewhat quick-witted and ingenious.
After Nangong Cheng exchanged a look with Prince Cheng, her hands on the piano began to pluck the strings, and a smooth, cheerful, and pleasant sound flowed out from under her fingers...
Immediately afterwards, King Cheng put the leaf flute between his lips, and added a crisp and melodious sound of the leaf flute. The flute sound not only revealed full vitality, but also was extremely hearty and comfortable...
Everyone was quickly immersed in it. Whether it was the sound of the piano or the sound of the leaf flute, it was amazing.
This song is... Nangong Yue is thoughtful. She still remembered that at last year's Fang Banquet, Nangong Cheng showed off his piano skills at the request of Princess Alina, and played the song "Sunrise Grassland". Because of this, Prince Cheng was able to accurately grasp Nangong Cheng's rhythm and play in perfect harmony with her. This King Cheng is indeed interesting!
Jiang Yixi, Yuan Yuyi and others also participated in last year's Fang Banquet, so they also thought of this and thought: Nangong Cheng and Prince Cheng have such a beautiful start, and the people behind them may be overshadowed by them. !
The sound of the piano continued and reached its climax. The girl rode a horse and galloped wildly, singing loudly... but the sound of the leaf flute first became quiet, and then interspersed with a few sounds from time to time, like a bird chirping in the woods. , so graceful; for a moment, it is like a stream flowing, so clear; like the wind blowing, so joyful, making the sound of the piano more vivid and vivid, the prairie that I have only seen in books and paintings. It seems as if it has appeared in front of everyone...
After the song, there was silence in the waterside pavilion until the original prince-in-law clapped vigorously and smiled boldly: "Okay, it's really good! The piano is good, and the leaf flute is also good!"
Yun Cheng also nodded with a smile and praised: "King Cheng, you and Miss Nangong's Yiyeqin are a perfect match. The sound of the qin is like my Dayu, and the sound of the flute is like your Changdi. The two clans join hands. It’s fun to make progress together. It’s really good that you two have been able to cooperate like this in such a short period of time!”
"Thank you to Your Royal Highness Princess Chang and the Prince Consort for your compliments!" Prince Cheng and Nangong Cheng hurriedly saluted and thanked the Yuncheng couple.
Seeing that Yuncheng and the former prince-in-law admired the two of them very much, the expressions and thoughts of the others became complicated. Only then did they realize that the biggest problem faced by those performing behind them was that they had to avoid performing the same talent as those in front, otherwise they would be inferior!
At this time, the people who drew the lower numbers have begun to sympathize with the people behind.
Others have thought of this, and Nangong Yue has naturally thought of it too.
However, this is nothing to worry about, it is just a game in the first place.
Due to the need to discuss various performances, everyone in Chen Xiangxiang Pavilion stayed away from each other. Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue also stayed aside. Xiao Yi did not take his eyes away from her, even when he was performing just now Without attracting the slightest attention from him, he said with a smile in his peach blossom eyes: "Stinky girl, the **** you gave me is so beautiful. Xiaobai and the others are full of praises and are extremely envious."
Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes pausing on the jade pendant around his waist. On the day she was forced to conceive, she soft-heartedly agreed to make him a bowl of noodles on his birthday. However, thinking about it later, it was still not appropriate. After all, she did not have a small kitchen in the yard, so she made a bowl of noodles with her own hands. As a birthday gift, I gave it to Princess Yongyang at Princess Yongyang's house that day, but I didn't expect that he would still wear it.
Xiao Yi's eyes were shining as he looked at her and said, "Baby girl, what are we going to perform later?"
Nangong Yue thought for a while and said: "I can do chess, calligraphy and painting, but it is always inappropriate to perform chess, calligraphy and painting. As for the qin... I think many people will choose to play the qin. It seems that there is nothing new... You What do you say?"
Xiao Yi didn’t care at all, “It’s okay.”
Nangong Yue smiled, and it was quite true. They had never thought about taking the lead, and the performances were all the same. So, she said with a smile: "Since whatever you say is fine, why not do it with me?" Fuqin, how do you dance with the sword?"
Xiao Yi thought about it seriously and felt that he would not embarrass the smelly girl, so he responded: "I will listen to you."
"Then let's choose a song..."
The two of them were talking softly and did not notice that an angry gaze was watching them closely not far away. They saw the second princess biting her lower lip with an unwilling look on her face, thinking: This Nangong Yue usually behaves dignifiedly, but she is just a shameless **** who loves to steal other people's sweethearts! Her father and grandmother were all deceived by her!
Thinking of this, the third princess was secretly anxious. Her mother had promised to call her father, but why hadn’t she arrived yet...
At this time, the second group of young masters and girls had already stepped forward. They were the young master from the Household Minister's family and Miss Chen from the Chen University Scholar's House. These two people pale in comparison to King Cheng and Nangong Cheng in front of them. Miss Chen drew the pictures, and the young master did the calligraphy. Everyone almost yawned while burning the incense. Although the peony picture that came out was indeed well drawn and well written, it was really boring. Yuncheng gave it a casual compliment and passed it on to the original prince-in-law.
Then it was the turn of the third and fourth groups...
The fifth group is the young masters and girls of the Hou family of Weiyuan. Although they are military commanders, one plays the piano and the other sings softly.
As the tune played together, many girls and gentlemen recalled the song sung by an unknown person on the street on the day when Manyu Bai Fuling returned.
Reminiscent of the aggressiveness of Xirong these days, when I listen to it now, I can't help but be shocked by the singing.
When the song finished, Yuncheng applauded loudly: "The song is good, the song is good, the rhythm is ups and downs, and it is soul-stirring!"
The former prince-in-law also nodded with a smile and said: "Although it is not as powerful as the one played by Xun on the day of Fuling, it is indeed good. It's a pity that I don't know who wrote the lyrics and composed the music..." At this point , he felt a little regretful.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, for your compliments from the Prince Consort." The two brothers and sisters both bowed and thanked her, and then stepped aside.
Emei was about to call the next group when a maid suddenly came in a hurry, saluted Yuncheng and the original consort in a hurry and said: "Your Highness, the consort, the emperor, the empress, Concubine Zhang, and the two Xirong The envoy has arrived!"
This sentence was like thunder on the ground, making everyone shocked.
Everyone stood up one after another, and when the emperor's figure appeared at the other end of the water corridor, they all knelt down.
The emperor strode towards the Chenxiang Pavilion, followed by the queen, Concubine Zhang, and two men with profound facial features wearing exotic military uniforms. Judging from their clothing, appearance, and temperament, these two men were both civilized and military. , one gentle and one rough, must be the envoy of Xirong.
"See you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor!"
"The Queen is a thousand years old!"
Everyone paid their respects in unison, still a little unbelievable in their hearts: The emperor and the empress actually came to the feast, doesn't it mean that they have the opportunity to show off in front of the emperor and empress? After being surprised, they couldn't help but speculate that the emperor, empress and Concubine Zhang came here to help the third prince choose a concubine?
"Pingshen!" The emperor waved his hand with a smile and strode over, "Sister Huang, I just happened to be talking about Sister Huang's feast with the two visitors at night, and on a whim, I came over to join in the fun. I hope it didn’t disturb Sister Huang’s mood.”
Xiye is Xirong, but the word "Xirong" is Dayu's name for it, and their real country name is Xiye.
Yun Cheng responded with a decent manner: "It is Yuncheng's honor that your Majesty, the Queen, and the two envoys can come to the Fang Banquet."
"Sister, consort," the emperor personally introduced the two Xirong envoys to the Yuncheng couple, "these two are Lord Chamuhan and General Shamen Qibi."
That Chamuhan was in his fifties, with a somewhat skinny figure. He was wearing the military uniform of a civil servant. Looking at the glint in his triangular eyes, he was obviously difficult to deal with.
And another big man named Qibi Salmon, who was in his forties, had an iron-red face, and almost half of his face was covered with curly beard. He looked like a big bear.
After seeing the ceremony, both parties sat down.
Yuncheng and the former prince-in-law naturally gave up their top seats to the emperor and empress. The maids hurriedly brought in more armchairs. Concubine Zhang, Yuncheng, the former consort and the second princess sat down beside the queen respectively, while the two Xirong envoys sat down on the left side of the emperor.
Everyone in the waterside pavilion also knew more or less that the envoys from Xirong came to the king for the purpose of negotiating peace and marriage. When they thought of the marriage, many unexplained glances were directed at the second princess.
The second princess almost changed her expression, but fortunately the veil on her face blocked most of her expression. Thinking of Concubine Zhang's promise to her, she tried hard to calm down.
"Emperor Dayu!" Chamuhan, the Xirong envoy sitting on the left side of the emperor, suddenly said, "Didn't I just say that there is a performance here? Why hasn't it started yet? I have heard for a long time that the girl from Dayu is beautiful and versatile. Let me and General Qibi see it today and see how our girl from Xiye compares!"
Dayu from Chamuhan speaks very fluently in official Chinese. It is no wonder that he became an envoy sent by Xirong.
The bearded Sramana Qibi also nodded and said arrogantly: "What Lord Cha is saying is that we have been sitting here for so long, why haven't we started to perform? You Dayu people do things It's just such a grind!" In comparison, the Dayu Mandarin spoken by this military general-looking man is much harsher, but although his tone is stiff, his sentences are quite smooth.
Yuncheng frowned slightly, his eyes showing displeasure. This feast is hosted by her, and whoever makes trouble here is disrespectful to her! Yuncheng is the eldest princess, the Queen Mother is her biological mother, and the Emperor is her biological brother. Ever since she was a child, no one has dared to be so rude to her!
These two Xirong envoys are so arrogant and unruly!
This is Dayu, not Xirong!
Yun Cheng couldn't help but clenched her hands into fists, and was about to have an attack. The former consort beside her immediately held her hand down and gave her a soothing look, signaling her not to be impulsive. Now that the two countries are at war, Xirong has the upper hand, and even the emperor can only tolerate it.
Yun Cheng glanced at the emperor and saw that the emperor still had a smile on his lips. It seemed that he did not take the envoy's unreasonableness to heart, but Yun Cheng found a trace of anger in his eyes - obviously, the emperor Also being patient.
Yuncheng took a deep breath and could only suppress his anger for the time being. She is not a spoiled girl who is deaf to what is going on outside the window. Naturally, she knows that the war between the two countries is tense now. Although she is a woman and does not discuss government affairs, she cannot indulge in temporary arrogance and needs to put national affairs first.
The girls below looked at each other in twos and threes, but no one moved.
This Fang Banquet was originally an elegant gathering, giving the famous princes and ladies in the royal capital the opportunity to show off their talents, but now the Xirong envoy ordered them to perform arrogantly, with a contemptuous attitude as if they were just Lowly prostitutes are for people to play with! It’s really unbecoming!
Each of these girls were pampered and raised like jewels since childhood. How could they have ever been so blatantly humiliated by others? A while passed and no one stood up. The entire waterside pavilion was silent, and even the air became heavier and heavier, making it almost suffocating.
Sramana Qibi looked around at the girls with disdain, snorted impatiently, and said, "Isn't it possible that the girls from Dayu have bad ears and didn't hear what this general said?"
"Emperor Dayu, do you Dayu girls look down on us, Xiye?" Chamuhan looked at the emperor with a sneer, his triangular eyes half-squinted sinisterly, obviously wanting to make a big deal out of a small matter.
"Bang!"
Sramana Qibi patted the armrest of the armchair heavily and raised his voice to the emperor: "Emperor Dayu, you specifically called me and Lord Cha here just to humiliate us!"
As if they had rehearsed in advance, the two men sang in harmony and pressed forward step by step towards the emperor.
"The envoy's words are serious." The emperor said solemnly, looking at everyone with majestic eyes, and ordered, "Who is the next group? Continue the performance!"
