Chapter 185: Harem Feast

In the Imperial Garden, a hundred flowers are blooming, purple and red, and it is beautiful. The lotus flowers in the lotus pond are also competing for bloom, compared to what Chu Yun saw when he entered the palace for a banquet after being a vassal envoy, it was even more gorgeous, but it was in full bloom. What's more, the unique fragrance of lotus makes people feel refreshed and forget about the heat.

Today, the emperor allowed hundreds of officials to enter the palace to enjoy the scenery, which can be described as the joy of the monarch and the minister. The beauties of the harem were also invited to attend the banquet. The palace has not been so lively as it is today for a long time, and since the cost savings, the palaces have been frugal, and the masters are still like this, not to mention the slaves. The table full of wine and delicacies, although not as exquisite and luxurious as in the past, can also satisfy the appetite at this time.

The adults walked into the harem in official uniforms, and then the little eunuch led them to the imperial garden. When the banquet was about to start, the emperor and queen Fang were late and were bowed by hundreds of officials. The two of them followed Du Youlan and Lu Yun on their sides, and only after Yu Xuanqing took their seats did they sit down.

All the officials sat together. Seeing this, Sanren gave others a look, that person understood, and gave others a look, after mutual understanding, the music sounded, the pipa flute, the guzheng Dingle, and they rang out in unison. A little while, a team of beautiful women with fluttering sleeves fluttering from far and near, Yingying dancers step on lotus flowers, like fairies in the painting, delicate and agile, making people fascinated.

Beauty is beautiful, but it is not as good as the person beside you.

Lancôme pink delicacy, thrush dyed, Qingqing rarely dresses like this. Yu Xuan couldn't help but turn his head to take a few more looks, compared to the past, he liked Qingqing's appearance more. As long as she attends the banquet, Qingqing must be dressed in full costume, even if she makes Qixuan give in, she can't retreat from the old lady, so she can only act according to her words, and let her wrap in layers of embroidered cloth and wear a luxurious long dress.

is not only a hundred officials, among them are Lu Shui and Qi Shiwei, and Ren Guiping, as the national abbot and a high-quality official, is naturally among them.

The harem can't move around without permission, someone came forward to say hello, Ren Guiping talked and laughed with the person who came, and when the person left, he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Lu Shui came, and Ren Guiping breathed a sigh of relief. The two watched the lotus flowers by the pool, and Lu Shui said first: How is Uncle Ren lately?

Ren Guiping smiled and said: Everything is fine. I heard that Prime Minister Lu Cheng led the army to the border gates, I don't know if the house is okay?

Lu Shui replied: Uncle Xie is worried. Everything is fine in the house.

Ren Guiping said: That's fine.

Lu Shuidao: Uncle has seen the queen?

Ren Guiping said: In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, which one of us can move around at will. I haven't seen him since I got back to the door.

Lu Shui nodded. Not to mention the queen's Luanjiao Palace, this emperor's harem is not allowed to enter without the will of the summons, and there are guards guarding each exit. Even he, the general of the Imperial Guards, didn't just say he would enter.

At this time, Yu Xuan Qingqing was coming from a distance. Ren Guiping, Lu Shui and the others all knelt down and bowed their heads and got up, and then they were led into the banquet by the palace maids. Vocal music singing and dancing, from having to sigh that the place where he lives is peaceful, enjoying wine and food and dancing to appreciate, and suddenly feel that the gods are nothing more than that.

Wine is easy to cheer up, and it can help gall. During the banquet, an adult raised his glass and got up, pointed at Yuxuan from afar, and shouted with a smile: "The minister has the courage to respect the emperor for a cup! May my emperor live a thousand years and stay in a prosperous world for a long time!"

What a heroic word! What a sycophant!

After the man finished speaking, he drank all the wine in his glass, and then bowed with his hands, and then sat down.

When everyone saw this, they looked at each other. In the end, they are not willing to be left behind. Immediately, I saw the adults scrambling to toast one by one, in an orderly manner.

After the singing and dancing, more than half of the feast was drunk.

Today's Du Youlan is different from the past, with a new dress, a much more delicate and beautiful face, especially the peach blossoms between the eyebrows on the forehead, which makes people want to look at it twice. Suddenly, Du Youlan Yingying got up, bowed down and saluted, and said: Your Majesty, the concubine recently learned a dance music and wanted to dedicate it to the emperor today.

Yu Xuan looked at her and said: Concubine Ai has a heart.

Du Youlan prepared a little, changed into a long cotton gauze skirt, looked looming, the light gauze danced, holding the water red veil, fluttering lightly with the movement of the beauty, no wind but very windy. Prime Minister Du Cheng at the banquet was very happy to see this, and in his opinion, there is no king who does not like the fragrance of beauty.

The beauty is full of flowers step by step, the dancing body is soft and colorful, the water sleeves in the hand are sometimes thrown up, sometimes left and right, fluttering, sultry, and the soul lingers on its side, looking to smell the fragrance of the beauty.

The song is as wonderful as a pearl, beautiful and tactful. After the dance, the beauty smiled, and the salute gradually retreated. After a few moments, the music began. The hundred officials then talked and laughed again, but they thought in their hearts that this Prime Minister Du Cheng's daughter was really extraordinary, and she was afraid that her grace in the future would not be less.

After the feast, the emperor and queen took everyone to watch and play in the imperial garden, and they could walk around. That Du Youlan seized the gap, stepped forward and walked to Yu Xuan, and said: Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't seen you for a long time, let the concubine accompany you today.

Qingqing was originally standing beside Yu Xuan, and after hearing that, she said first: That's good. In this case, Hongu will go first.

After saying that, he saluted, got up and walked in the other direction. Qixuan Dye Branch stepped forward to follow. Liuyuxuan and Du Youlan and a group of palace people.

Qingqing was feeling bored, and her clothes were heavy, which was really not suitable for traveling. Now Qingqing just wants to go back to Luanjiao Hall as soon as possible so that she can be replaced. When he was walking quickly, he suddenly saw someone coming in the distance, and when he got closer, he knew that it was Lu Shui and Ren Guiping.

I saw Qingqing smiling and stepping forward, and before she could speak, Lu Shui and Ren Guiping had already bowed and saluted. Seeing this, Qingqing hurriedly said: Please get up. Father, please get up.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Ren Guiping up.

Qingqing looked at the two of them with a smile, and then asked, "Father, you are here too." Is the family okay? Mother is okay?

Ren Guiping replied with a smile: Everything is fine. Your mother worries about you all day long, for fear that the people in the palace will neglect you.

Qingqingdao: Please also tell your mother, don't worry, I'm fine.

Ren Guiping nodded, full of smiles.

Lu Shui asked: Why is the queen here alone, not with the emperor?

Qingqing said: The emperor was accompanied by Du Youlan, so I walked away.

Lu Shuidao: I see.

Qingqing nodded, looked at Ren Guiping again, and asked: It's rare for my father to come here, why don't I take my father around?

Ren Guiping said: Good is good, I am always afraid that the etiquette is not in line. When I entered the palace today, I wanted to see you, but now that I see it, it doesn't matter if you see it or not.

Qingqing smiled slightly and said: Then let Qixuan accompany you first, and your daughter will go back to the palace to change her clothes first.

Ren Guiping nodded and said: Go.

Dye Zhi followed Qingqing back to Luanjiao Palace. After changing into light clothes, we will walk to the Imperial Garden.
