Chapter 175: Banquet and Drinking Envoy
The banquet was organized by the Ministry of Rites, Qi Shiwei was in the Ministry of Rites, and most of the matters were handled by him, while Lu Shui, as the president and general of the Imperial Forest Army, stayed in the palace together to guard the defense range of the Royal Forest Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Chengli, as the queen's guard, only cares about the safety of the Luan Jiao Palace, so he didn't come to the imperial garden.
The three ladies of the harem, as the emperor's concubines, want to come.
After the hundred officials and the envoy entered the palace, they were invited directly into the imperial garden to watch the lotus flowers. When it was almost lunchtime, the emperor and the queen were late.
I saw Yu Xuan wearing a golden dragon robe, wearing a golden crown with tied hair, and Qing Qing was beside him. Qing Qing was rarely dressed in a big red robe, wearing a golden hairpin on her head, and walked in unison with Yu Xuan. followed by Lu Yun and Du Youlan, I saw one dressed in pink and the other wearing a light yellow dress, all with luxurious makeup.
Sanren, as a leading eunuch, walked in front and walked first. I only heard him shout at the hundred officials: The emperor has arrived! The queen has arrived!
After finishing speaking, the hundred officials immediately walked in the direction of the emperor and queen, knelt down and kowtowed together, and shouted: "The ministers knock to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!
The envoy did not kowtow, and when Yu Xuan finished speaking, he saw him step forward, saluted Yu Xuan, and said: The envoy salutes the emperor and the queen.
Yu Xuan said: The envoy doesn't have to be polite.
The envoy said: Thank you, Emperor.
Led by Yu Xuan Qingqing, after taking a seat, everyone sat down in turn. Directly in front of you is a pond full of lotus flowers. The first seat is the emperor and queen, its side is the long table of two mothers, several steps higher than the seat of the hundred officials, from the steps down, the left and right sides are arranged in turn, each seat has two adults, the seat is a low table of one meter long and fifty centimeters high, two flat stools are set up under it, and wine glasses and chopsticks, fruit snacks and other things are placed on the table. There are two columns on the left and right, and then there are also long tables and low stools. Arranged by rank, the first column on the left and right sides is from front to back, and then the second column. Sitting in the front is naturally Prime Minister Du Cheng, sitting on the left, and on the right is the handsome envoy. The palace maids and eunuchs hid on the side, at any time.
The feast begins.
With beautiful scenery, it is natural to have beautiful women. The sound of drumming sounded in the distance, and a group of palace ladies came from a distance, dancing sleeves flying all over the sky, floating up and down lightly, lingering and intertwined, like the smooth waist of the palace ladies, dancing is even more graceful and moving.
After the dance, I suddenly heard a person shouting: Wonderful!
Everyone looked for the voice, and it was none other than the envoy. I saw that his eyes were staring straight at the most outstanding Gong E. What a womanizer! Just as he thought so, he heard the first voice come from the first seat.
I only heard Yu Xuan say: The envoy thinks this dance is good?
Those palace ladies were about to retreat, but they were stopped by Sanren. I had to stand still and listen with my head down.
When the envoy heard the question, he looked at Yu Xuan and said with a smile: Your Majesty, this dance is very good.
Yu Xuan smiled and said, "It's good if the envoy likes it."
I also heard the envoy say, "Although the dance is good, I think it is the best."
These words were not said to Yu Xuan, and when Prime Minister Du Cheng, who was sitting opposite him, saw this, he first said: What did the envoy say?
The envoy smiled and said, "Do you think it's the beauty of dancing or the beauty of beauty?"
When Prime Minister Du heard this, he was sure of it. He smiled and said, "The envoy said that it was a beauty."
The envoy said: That's nature.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look up, and said: The envoy has something to ask the emperor. Can you give these ladies to me?
Yu Xuan looked at him and said with a smile: If the envoys like it, let them go back to the outside with the envoys.
When the envoy heard this, he got up with a smile and saluted and shouted, "Emperor Xie."
With Qingqing's beauty, no one will not look sideways. Naturally, the envoy would not turn a blind eye, and whenever he looked at Yu Xuan, he would look sideways at Qing Qing, which was meaningful. Qingqing inadvertently saw the eyes of the man looking at her, and instantly felt extremely familiar, and she didn't realize that she looked at the envoy a few more times.
The beautiful scenery has been appreciated, and the wine has passed the three rounds early. The emperor gave an order, and the banquet dispersed. Hundreds of officials greeted the emperor and queen leaving, and then left the palace before and after. The envoy of the vassal was sent back to the post house by Sanren.
The envoy was accompanied by officials to visit the capital until the next day. And then every day is to send the beauty into the arms, wine and food are served, and the guests are treated with courtesy. As time passed, the envoy offered to stay longer.
Yuxuan concession, the feudal envoy can enter the palace at any time to enjoy the scenery of the imperial garden, in order to not lose the gift of hospitality.
The envoy was a pervert. In the post house, singing and dancing every night, coquettish and non-stop, it is really extravagant. The officials who were ordered to take care of the envoy also did their best to help him with his wine and singing and dancing.
This feudal domain makes it possible to enjoy the daytime and naturally not miss the Imperial Palace. It's just that it seems to come and go more often. He got up early in the morning, and when the morning of the main hall dispersed, the envoy entered the palace. The harem has its own places that outsiders can't enter, such as Luanjiao Hall and other places. There are guards guarding the outside of the Luanjiao Palace, and others are not allowed to approach. I saw that the envoy wandered around the Luanjiao Palace, sighing at the beauty of the scenery from time to time, but he didn't want to go in.
After many days, the envoy did not go anywhere else, but just entered the palace, walked around the outside of the Luanjiao Palace, and stayed late, before leaving the palace and returning to the post house. Only a day later, the envoy begged the guards several times to go in and enter the palace to see the queen. Just because that day, Qingqing went out of the palace and came to the imperial garden to see the lotus, met the envoy, and after a few words of conversation between the two, Qingqing returned to the palace. Since then, the envoy of the vassal has not been able to let go, and he has been thinking about seeing Qingqing all day long, and even the beauties who must be sent to the post house every night have been stopped by him.
The actions of the envoys of the foreign vassals naturally caused an uproar in the harem, and the whispers continued, and the gossip immediately spread out, spreading false rumors and spreading myths. The palace people are all watching a good show, there are the envoys, the queens, and the emperors.
Yu Xuan must come to Luanjiao Hall every day, and he has long seen through the intentions of the envoy. But as the king of a country, he will do what he says, and the envoy to the palace is what he personally agreed, and it is absolutely impossible to regret it now. Fortunately, Qingqing did not agree to let him enter the palace, and Yuxuan tried not to think too much, but after a long time, he heard a lot of gossip, and someone in the hundred officials actually wrote a book for this matter.
It has become common for the emperor not to stay in the Luanjiao Palace, and he does not go to the Chaoxiang Palace, just because he is busy with government affairs. But today, until after dinner, the emperor has not left the palace.
Today, Yu Xuan was preoccupied, and Qing Qing saw it at a glance, thinking that it must be because the state affairs were too busy, so he didn't ask. Until dinner, the palace maids all retreated, and the Qixuan dyeing branches in the hall were all pulled outside by the other palace maids. There were only two of them left.
Qingqing was still willing to read, so she approached the oil lamp to look.
