I looked at the dark and deep eyes of the person in front of me and shook my head slowly, and said in a very soft voice but word by word: "Today's behavior is not the behavior of the daughter of the Murong family, but this is what the third princess and a wife of the Southern Dynasty should do." Therefore, Qing'er does not regret it. ”

"Beauty offers tea: Junshan Silver Needle, Shifeng Longjing - Four Dried Fruits: Milky Almonds, Rock Sugar Walnuts, White Jade Peach Kernels, Crispy Fried Cashew Nuts - Candied Fruits Four Grades: Honey Cherries, Flower Oranges, Golden Silk Dates, Honey Stuffed Longan - Four Kinds of Dumplings: Glutinous Rice Cake, Jade Bean Cake, Mandarin Duck Rolls, Coconut Cups - Four Pickles: Purple Dried Vegetables, Snow Ferns, Osmanthus Hot Sauce Mustard, Sweet and Sour Cucumber-"

In the voice of the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room announcing the name of the dish, I accompanied Nan Chengyao to slowly enter the Qinghe Palace, with a dignified appearance, a gentle and perfect smile on his lips, and flawless.

It's just that in my heart, I can't help but feel a little depressed and lingering.

I have never forgotten the look at me when the emperor looked at me in the Xuanzheng Palace, which contained most indescribable dark emotions, which were unfathomable.

Although I don't regret what I did today, but deep down, I am also a little uneasy, I know that my words and deeds must have doubts about the Murong family in the emperor's heart, but I don't know how big this suspicion is and what kind of impact it will have.

Thinking like this, he subconsciously turned his eyes to find his father and mother, who came early and sat at the head of the jade steps, and Tong did not sit at the same table with them, and was arranged in the third seat.

Seeing me and Nan Chengyao coming in, my parents hurriedly got up and called Shang Tong to come over to salute, although I didn't feel good in my heart, I could only smile like a smile, and watched my parents bow down in front of me.

After the ceremony, my father and Nan Chengyao casually talked about the situation of the battle, and my mother and I could only smile and listen to it, and I saw that although my mother was smiling, there was some vague worry in her eyes, and I knew that she must still be worried about whether she would marry the princess.

I couldn't help but look beyond my mother to see the person who was following her, because he entered the palace today as a hero of the rebellion, he wore the same armor as Zhao Mo and Ouyang Xian, but he didn't have a sword.

The silver armor is clear, and there is no tiredness from the wind and dust when he fights, he only looks indescribably handsome and high-spirited, and the whole person seems to be radiating light, so that people can't take their eyes off.

At this moment, he stood there, listening to the inconsequential scene between his father and Nan Chengyao, and he didn't dare to walk away because of the extremely strict family rules, so his expression on his face was extremely boring.

I saw that he seemed to be trying to resist the urge to roll his eyes, but it happened to meet my sight, so he quickly smiled at me, and his eyebrows were clear and clean.

I wanted to explain a few words to him, but the occasion and time were not right, and I thought that since Nan Chengyao had promised not to let the disobedient marry the princess, I also let go of my heart and only smiled back at him gently.

"Seven appetizers: Songhe Longevity, Mustard Duck Palm, Phoenix Wings, Shrimp Roe Winter Bamboo Shoots, Tianxiang Abalone, Three Loofah Rolls, Pepper Oil Coconut White - Soup Food: Bamboo Sunfish Lips..."

As the little eunuch quietly entered with the food box, the prince and Yun'er also walked into the Qinghe Palace, which was the first time I saw them since I left Shangjing and the prince's mansion.

I looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's generous and still generous eyebrows, and the perfect and impeccable smile on Yun'er's face, many things, suddenly not under the control of the crime, appeared one by one in front of me.

I thought of the flute, the Dong father and son, the various things that went to Mobei, the gray and low-hanging sky of Yecheng, the slightly shy last smile of the young soldier, and the inscription in the Xuanzheng Hall a few hours ago.

There were a lot of indescribable emotions in my heart, I secretly took a deep breath, then smiled gently, and bowed with Nan Chengyao.

Nan Chengyao and I performed a family ceremony, but only slightly blessed, while my father and mother performed a courtesy to the prince and Yun'er.

I looked at Yun'er and smiled decently and gently raised my hand to signal my parents to get up, but under that smile, I may also hide the same helplessness and sadness as me.

After the ceremony, Nan Chengmian stepped forward to hold Nan Chengyao's hand in person, and said in a sincere voice: "Third brother, your big victory over Beihu this time really made my Southern Dynasty mighty, and I am very happy to be an elder brother!"

Nan Chengyao smiled faintly: "It all depends on the Holy Lord and the Crown Prince's Holy Candlelight, otherwise there would not be such a great victory, how dare the younger brother take the credit for himself." ”

Nan Chengmian still smiled gently: "The third brother is too humble, you don't know, because of this great victory, how happy my father is, when your class teacher is still half a month away from going to Beijing, my father has already instructed me to start preparing for tonight's celebration banquet." ”

Nan Chengyao smiled and responded: "Brother Huang bothered, and the younger brother thanked me here." ”

"Family, what else do you say thank you for, you fought the front line, and all you can do as a brother is to prepare some wine and food, I'm really ashamed. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is responsible for the family and the country, and he is a daughter, so naturally he can't take any risks. ”

Nan Chengmian smiled when he heard this, and he didn't let go, and pulled Nan Chengyao straight to the top of the jade steps: "Why are you all standing, let's take our seats." ”

The banquet of the Qinghe Palace is a third-level jade step, the highest level of the main seat is naturally reserved for the emperor and Concubine Qing, I and Nan Chengyao's seat is on the left side of the second-level jade stage, His Royal Highness the Prince and Yun'er sit on the right side, and the bottom level of the jade level is reserved for the rest of the princes and princesses and a group of concubines, and below the jade step, is the banquet of the courtiers.

Not long after we sat down, the first round of imperial dishes came into the hall in an endless stream, and the little eunuch's elongated voice was particularly shrill-

"Thirty-six dishes of imperial dishes: simmered deer tendon in a casserole, red plum beads, anchovy shark fin, white cloud pork knuckle, fried fresh shellfish on skewers, butterfly shrimp rolls, chrysanthemum loin, mountain delicacies eleutherococcus, jade shoots bracken, fresh mushroom cabbage heart, ......"

In the long report of the fame of the dish, everyone got up during the banquet and waited quietly, since the imperial dish began to be served, it meant that the holy car was about to arrive.

Sure enough, after a while, the loud announcement of the eunuch Xuanli overpowered the voice of the eunuch in the imperial dining room: "The emperor has arrived, and Concubine Qing has arrived-"

Everyone saluted and drove, the emperor and the Qing concubine Niangniang slowly walked up the jade steps, passing by us, I bowed my head, only to smell a faint aroma straight into the heart.

The emperor and Concubine Qing sat down, Fang motioned for everyone to get up and enter the table, I looked up, Concubine Qing had changed out of the lake blue dress I had just seen, wearing a bright yellow embroidered phoenix gold silk satin skirt, holding the rose red soft smoke, magnificent and elegant, stroking the cloud bun, looking down on the glory.

After everyone sat down, the sound of ancient music, twelve palace maids dressed in gorgeous costumes burned incense into the banquet, behind them, was the princess of Chao Yiyang, Nan Chengyu, dressed in a formal red dress, smiling bright and moving, holding the golden cup of imperial wine in his own hands, stepping up the jade steps, bowing down to the emperor, holding the wine above his head, and smiling generously: "Please ask my father to ascend to the imperial wine to reward the heroes!"

The emperor doted on this daughter very much as rumored, took the golden cup with one hand, and personally pulled up Nan Chengxi with the other: "Why is Xi'er here in person, I am still wondering why I can't see you during the banquet." ”

The prince got up and responded with a smile: "It's the ninth sister who has to be like this, I was so entangled by her that I had no choice but to allow it." ”

Princess Yiyang smiled sweetly at the emperor: "The prince's brother works day and night for the government, the third brother fights for the country, Xi'er, as a woman, can't share the worries of her father, so she has to serve the imperial wine in person and do her best. ”

It seems that this princess is really as rumored by the outside world, enthusiastic about politics, if she is a man, she is a powerful character that should not be underestimated.

I suddenly remembered what he said to me in Xiangfu that day - Princess Tianjia, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp, and this Princess Yiyang is more fuel-intensive.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but bring some Wan'er smiles, and turned his eyes to look at it, but he didn't look at Princess Yiyang at all, and his expression was quite calm, but the trace of boredom in his eyes would not be noticed if he wasn't close to him.

Probably feeling my gaze, he turned his eyes to look at me, perhaps he sensed the meaning of the joke in my smile, he raised his eyebrows and squinted at me, I didn't feel that the smile deepened, he didn't hold on, and smiled at me again.

"Murong Tong doesn't look at his wife who hasn't passed through the door, but looks at what your sister does?"

Nan Chengyao's smiling voice sounded softly, I turned my eyes to look at him, and chuckled with a slight disgust: "Your Highness, you promised me." ”

The curvature of his lips deepened, and he was about to say something, when he saw the emperor raise the golden cup high: "I use this wine to congratulate me on the triumph of the warriors of the Southern Dynasty and the majesty of the four seas!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" everyone raised their glasses and drank all the wine in their cups.

After drinking a cup, the emperor said a few more words to everyone at the banquet, and then handed the golden cup back to the tray in the hands of Princess Yiyang, and said with a loving smile: "Xi'er has always been sensible, I didn't hurt you in vain, go to the banquet quickly." ”

Princess Yiyang smiled aitically, held the golden cup lotus step and moved lightly, and walked out of the Qinghe Hall with a thousand demeanors, I don't know if it was because of my own preconceptions, I always felt that she slowed down slightly when passing by the seat where Tong was sitting, and her eyes drifted away softly intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't pay attention at all as always.

After a while, Princess Yiyang changed into a tender yellow color butterfly double fly Bixia Luo back to the palace to sit down, as soon as she sat down, the second round of forty-eight imperial dishes was served, oolong spit beads, Ganlianfu sea cucumber, crab meat double bamboo shoots, sand boat stepping cui, cashew nuts and celery hearts, pearl tofu, straw mushrooms and broccoli...... All of them are fresh and exquisite, sumptuous to the extreme, and the accompanying singing and dancing are also prepared beautifully, like the sound of the sky, suspected of being in a dream.

Come to think of it, Nan Chengmian spent a lot of thought on today's celebration banquet, although he was not for Nan Chengyao, but for the emperor.

When the third round of seventy-two imperial dishes was withdrawn, the emperor slowly smiled and looked at the seat where his father and mother were sitting, and said unhurriedly: "Prime Minister Murong not only made great contributions to the imperial court, but also the children under his knees are also the pillars of the country.

The father hurriedly avoided the table and said humbly: "The Murong family is deeply favored by the king, and everything they do is their duty, and the emperor said this, which really makes the ministers panic." ”

The emperor smiled faintly and said: "Prime Minister Murong doesn't need to be too humble, I have always rewarded and punished clearly, the heroes of the pacification of Beihu this time, I have already rewarded meritorious deeds, only Murong Tong, because he was not an official in the imperial court before, so I have not reached a conclusion for a long time, today's celebration banquet, it is really not appropriate to delay it any longer, I will be in front of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and all the royal relatives, personally named Murong Tong as my Southern Dynasty general, I don't know what Murong Cheng wants?"

Father and Yun hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Thank the emperor for Longen!"

The emperor smiled and nodded, looked at Tong and said, "Get up, take a few steps forward and let me see." ”

Do what you say.

The emperor looked him up and down with a slight smile, and then smiled: "Sure enough, he is a young hero." ”

My heart sank slightly, listening to the emperor's tone, it seemed that I wanted to mention the marriage between Yun and Princess Yiyang at this banquet, although Nan Chengyao should accept me, but at this time, it happened suddenly, although I believe him, but Wei doesn't know about it, I am really afraid that he will not know how to turn around and directly speak out, causing unpredictable consequences.

My heart was slightly anxious, I don't know if it was reflected on my face, I only felt that my hand under the case was warm, Nan Chengyao reached out and covered the back of my hand, he didn't turn his head to look at me, but just held my hand slightly tight.

I understood what he meant, and my heart was a little relieved, but before I had time to say anything, the emperor's faint laughing voice had already resounded in this Qinghe Palace: "Prime Minister Murong, I don't know if your child has a marriage, or if you have a sweetheart?"

The father hurriedly replied respectfully: "The dog is still young, and his mind is all about the art of war and swordsmanship, and he has not yet considered marriage. ”

The emperor seemed to be satisfied with a slight bow, and was about to speak, but he took the first step and smiled clearly: "Your Majesty, the minister was fortunate to have seen the emperor's inscription on the 'Snow Day Breaking Array Diagram' before, and there is a sentence that the minister still remembers vividly. ”

The emperor didn't expect him to suddenly turn the topic to this matter, and was slightly stunned, but perhaps he didn't want to brush off the new general's hand, probably also the future horse, and besides, he mentioned such a thing, so he asked with a smile: "Oh, which one?"

The sword raised his eyebrows slightly, and read aloud with a bright eye: "The general wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and her husband swears an oath to the country - the emperor really wrote the voice of Weichen!"

The emperor smiled slightly, although he did not speak, but there was some approval and smugness in his eyes.

However, he suddenly looked serious, knelt on the ground with his fists in front of the Son of Heaven, his eyes were like torches, and he said loudly word by word: "The grace of heaven is vast, Murong Tong has been crowned a general in this Qinghe Palace today, and he will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy in order to repay the emperor's deep kindness!

The emperor was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I am very pleased that the general has such a heart, but if you really ask you to kill the enemy on the border and delay the important matter of marrying a wife and having children, I am afraid that your father will come to me to complain." ”

The father hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

And Wei is also Zhengsedao: "Protecting the family and defending the country is the duty of a man, when the minister was in Yecheng, he had an appointment with Long Fei's general Qin Zhao, he protected the north of the desert and guarded the southern frontier." Today, Weichen through the new seal, in this Qinghe palace to the emperor to ask for an order, the minister sent to the southern Xinjiang guard, five years, if the minister can not clear Qi Yue's repeated offenses, never return the pilgrimage to see the saint, the column does not lightly say to marry a wife and have children!" /7/7517/)--
