As soon as Xin Guoren left, Bo Gong's face changed and he began to explain the matter to the people around him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Everyone else is listening. Qingran looked indifferent, turned his head and walked into the room where he belonged, and closed the door.

Chang Yu glared at Qingran's door. "Mountain boy, it's already a miracle to be here, and you dare to make a face. If it weren't for us, he wouldn't even know how to step on his feet. ”

"Don't talk nonsense. Bo Gong said that this is the palace of King Xin, and their words and deeds may be known by the people of Xin. "Come in with me. ”

Chang Yu pouted and entered the house with Bo Gong, "That Qingran is just a hillbilly, we can't say anything in front of the king, and I can't say anything when I come to Xin Kingdom, I'm angry." ”

"I told you that you must be careful in everything you say and do, and that you must be patient in those who do great things. Bo Gong taught his younger brother a lesson.

"Okay," Chang Yu said impatiently, "I won't say anything." …… Tell me something else...... Let's just say that among the people who came to pick us up today, the woman in purple is really beautiful,...... Is she the maid of the Xin Kingdom?...... Xin Guo is so beautiful even ...... maids," Chang Yu's eyes lit up.

"Okay, didn't I tell you not to keep your mouth shut?" Bo Gong reprimanded Chang Yu.

"It's not okay to say Qingran, it's not okay to talk about a woman?" Chang Yu didn't understand what the eldest brother was angry about. Usually when I talk about beautiful women, my eldest brother doesn't have this reaction.

Bo Gong's eyes were gloomy, "The woman in your mouth should be the princess of Xin Kingdom-Yu Zimo." ”

"She is the princess of Xinguo. Chang Yu was surprised, and his eyes widened.

"It shouldn't be wrong, they all say that this princess does things unexpectedly, and that's right. ”

Chang Yu was a little surprised to know that the woman was the princess of Xinguo, but he didn't care about the words of the eldest brother. “…… It's just a wayward little girl. ......" However, Chang Yu's eyes bent down, "You look beautiful enough, big brother, you are blessed." ”

The corners of Bo Gong's mouth twitched, and his eyes were still gloomy.

He rubbed the thumb of his right hand against the index finger of his left hand, thinking. The meeting with Princess Xin and King Xin just now was very short, and there were very few words, and the Cong Hua brothers were only polite, and they couldn't see what they thought.

In the main hall, King Xin asked Qingran about the situation of the king, which was equivalent to acknowledging the identity of the prince of Qingran Shang, and it was equivalent to making him a partner who could be married.

The marriage between Xin and Shang is inevitable, and it is normal for this princess to be curious about who she will marry in the future. It's just that......

"It's better for her to be a princess, and see your demeanor as soon as possible. Choose early. …… That clear and stupid stupid person, how can he compare with the big brother. If he is not the son of the king, he is not even qualified to enter the palace, and he still wants to marry the princess. ”

Bo Gong is not always optimistic. "The impermanence of the world" is his deepest experience in the past two years. So he had to think and prepare completely.

"Damn,...... If it was at the beginning, we still had to think about it, that princess must have married the eldest brother. King Xin also has to pay great respect to his eldest brother. Chang Yu saw that the eldest brother was trying his best to marry the princess of Xinguo, and said angrily and emotionally.

Bo Gong didn't let Chang Yu continue, "Go and prepare, tonight's birthday banquet is very important." ”

……

The moon rose, and the sky was covered with a black veil that obscured the light from the earth. In front of the main hall of King Xin's palace, rows of torches were lit, illuminating the inside and outside of the palace as if it were day. The courtiers of the state of Xin and the envoys of various countries all arrived, and they were all ready in their own seats, and their eyes were all set in the direction of the main hall, waiting for the appearance of King Xin.

They were seated at the front. The music sounded, and King Xin walked out, followed by his concubine and prince. During the day, the woman in purple was by King Xin's side.

King Xin sat down, and everyone present got up together and congratulated King Xin on his birthday. King Xin smiled majestically.

The music stopped, the scene fell into silence, and the high priest in colorful clothes came out, and under the attention of the people present, in front of King Xin's table, raised his arms, danced slowly, and chanted words in his mouth. All watched and listened in silence and reverently.

The seven kingdoms, including the kingdom of Xin, all believed in the gods, and the gods had to ask for instructions or ask for the blessings of the gods on all important matters. A priest is a person who conveys the instructions and blessings of the gods.

After a dance, the high priest knelt in front of King Xin with his hands folded and offered the blessing of God to King Xin. King Xin bowed down and thanked the gods, and may the gods bring peace and tranquility to the kingdom of Xin.

After the high priest's blessing was over, the sound of ceremonial music sounded again, and King Xin motioned to the attendants beside him with his eyes. The waiter stepped forward and announced in a loud voice that the birthday feast had begun.

Everyone came out of the solemn atmosphere just now, blessed King Xin again loudly, and then sat down one after another.

The waiter brought out the freshly cooked dishes, and the steaming meat soup was placed on the table of the guests.

A group of dancing girls dressed in colorful dresses entered and danced in the center of the banquet, their waists slender and moving, like a dream. It attracts the attention of most people.

Bo Gong was admiring the dance on the surface, but his eyes wandered on Yu Zimo, who was sitting next to King Xin, and Qing Ran, who was sitting on his own. At this time, Yu Zimo changed into a gorgeous dress, which was still purple, and she wore a shawl of small fox fur, which was solemn, elegant and energetic. She accompanied King Xin, sometimes watching performances, sometimes approaching King Xin to say a few words, which caused King Xin to nod and smile. This princess really won King Xin's favor.

Qingran didn't watch the song and dance, nor did he look at the people around him, he just stared at the food on the table, eating unhurriedly as if no one was around. It seems that he is just attending an ordinary banquet that has nothing to do with him. From the moment he entered the palace, this Qingran showed that he was very resistant to the identity of the prince, and he was not close to his father, nor did he have contact with the prince, and he was always alone. But what the king of Shang asked him to do, he did indiscriminately. What the hell was he thinking? Bo Gong asked himself, and he was good at reading people's minds. I can't figure it out about this Qingran.

At the same time, Bo Gong paid attention to the envoys from several other countries around him who came to congratulate him on his birthday. In previous years, most of the people sent by the four countries were not light or heavy, and they were just formalities. This year, however, they all sent their right-hand men and princes. The reason for this can be imagined, they want to see what kind of people are sent by the Shang State, as well as the attitude of the Xin State. On the surface, they seem to be concentrating on the cabaret performance, but in fact, they are all thinking about it as they are. The real performers of this birthday feast are him and Qingran - if Qingran is performing. He had to show composure and strength to convince King Xin and the other envoys that he was the next monarch of Shang and would be willing to help him with all his might.

After Maihime's dance ended, dozens of samurai followed. The samurai in the performance are all about 20 years old, about the same height, with strong bodies, with fine braids on their heads, colorful bands around their waists, and waving their arms, showing the bravery and strength of the samurai. They began as a solo dance, followed by a few people tossing and turning as if on the battlefield, and the music became loud and high-pitched. It makes people's blood boil.

Chang Yu didn't have the heart to watch the performance, but when he saw that his eldest brother was calm and calm, he wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't help it.

……

The birthday feast proceeds until the moon sets in the west. The sound of singing and dancing, the cups and plates will be exhausted. King Xin seemed to be a little tired, whispered a few words to the people around him, and then stood up. Yu Zimo and others accompanied him.

King Xin left the venue, and everyone left their seats one after another and returned to the mansion.

Cong Hua stayed with the Tianyuan and Tianyue brothers to send envoys from various countries.

Cong Hua was responsible for sending Bo Gong to them. When parting, he said to Bo Gong: "It is rare for you to come to Xinguo, and this time you must stay for a few more days, so that we can better fulfill the friendship of the landlord." …… Tomorrow afternoon, there will be a riding and archery competition in the hunting ground of the royal palace, just for entertainment, if you are interested, come and see it. ”

"I knew that Prince Xin grew up on horseback, and the eldest prince's riding and archery skills were even better, of course, you have to see it. Bo Gong said politely.

Cong Hua smiled, "Bo Gong is a brave general on the battlefield, I believe that reaching out must be extraordinary, and we must show our hands when the time comes, so that we can open our eyes." ”

Bo Gong humbly waved his hand.

Cong Hua looked at Qing Ran, who was deliberately walking behind, "Prince Qing Ran will also come." Just watch the excitement. ”

Cong Hua's words were warm and sincere, Qingran pursed his lips and nodded, which was regarded as a promise.

Cong Hua patted Qingran's shoulder with his big hand, "Then it's decided." ”
