Chapter 116: When the Banquet Progresses

The banquet that night was held in Fuxi Palace, which was originally the place where the emperor entertained the emperor's relatives and relatives during the New Year's holidays, and all these things were naturally readily available, but the theme was changed.

"Concubine Lingniang has arrived. ”

Jiang Dewang shouted hard, while Lingxi slowly walked in accompanied by Xiao Xi.

"Wow"

Seeing the spirit rhino walk in, the people present, all of them exclaimed, the spirit rhino was originally born beautiful, and today under the careful dress, it is even more radiant, the queen, concubine, and beauty present compared with her, all of them are overshadowed.

Everyone at the banquet has basically arrived, this Lingxi is naturally the last, and she understands it psychologically, but she pretends to be ignorant, and says a little embarrassed: "The concubine is late, please don't blame the emperor." ”

Chengzong naturally knew why Lingxi was late, it was just because of Ya'er's affairs and his own anger, he naturally didn't get angry, just nodded, and then said: "Don't get in the way, come, sit next to me." ”

"Yes" Lingxi bowed slightly, and then sat down to the left of the emperor, while the queen was on the right.

Since ancient times, people have been respected on the left, the emperor let Lingxi sit on the left and let the queen sit on the right, the meaning of which is naturally self-evident, the royal relatives below and the king of Hexi and others have exchanged their heads and ears, and the queen as a party is quiet and expressionless.

"It seems that this spirit concubine is indeed as rumored, deeply favored by the emperor, and the gift to her is doubled. The king of Hexi said to the attendants beside him.

"Yes, my lord. The squire nodded and replied.

Then the king of Hexi laughed and said: "Sure enough, it is better to meet than to be famous, this Lingfei Niangniang is indeed as legendary, she is a fairy-like beauty!

Lingxi smiled, looked at the person who spoke, this person should be the king of Hexi, a simple and honest good man, but that look did look a little gloomy, Lingxi is the most dislike for this kind of person, and smiled slightly: "Hehe." ”

Lingxi just smiled faintly, not to mention the meaning of this laughter, it made people feel ambiguous, whether they liked it or not?

Chengzong didn't say anything about this, because he knew that Lingxi was uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't want to provoke the other party, so if he quarreled here for a while, it would be really not good-looking, because he didn't doubt it at all, Lingxi dared to quarrel with him on such an occasion, maybe the quarrel was exactly what Lingxi wanted.

"Singing and dancing, playing music, up!" Lu Yifa saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and couldn't help shouting, he was indeed worthy of being a person who could stay by the emperor's side, and he naturally knew how to deal with this situation when he saw it.

The singing and dancing that I enjoyed was nothing more than what I watched on TV in my previous life, some palace maids wore dance costumes, and then fiddled with their postures one by one, this kind of thing was the most boring for Lingxi.

"Can you get a little creative?" Lingxi complained to Chengzong.

"Oh, what kind of idea?" asked Seijong.

"This dance is nothing more than that, and this banquet looks like a lot of people, but all of them are lifeless, and they are not interesting at all. Lingxi frowned, in fact, she was still looking forward to this banquet at first, but after she came, she found that it was not interesting at all, and more importantly, didn't she say that it was a welcome banquet? Why didn't she even have anything to eat!

"Really, what do you think is interesting?" said Chengzong with a smile.

"Huh?" Lingxi thought for a moment, and then said, "Wait until Christmas, I'll hold a Christmas party for you, and I'll prepare all the qiē, and I'm sure to refresh you when the time comes!"

"Oh, yes? I didn't think you still had the skills, but I'm looking forward to what you said about the Christmas ladder. Cheng Zong smiled slightly.

"Hmph, when the time comes, you will have to charge tickets, and for those who participate, the entrance fee will be charged according to the official rank, starting from one thousand taels, and one thousand taels will be added for each higher grade, and you!" Lingxi looked at Chengzong and snorted coldly: "You have to get ten thousand taels." ”

"Haha, don't you just want to make money? Okay, good, good, even so, 10,000 taels is 10,000 taels, and I will let Lu Yi send you to the palace in a while, and I will give it in advance. Chengzong couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances. Lingxi glanced at him, and then suddenly asked, "By the way, didn't you say that the second son of the King of Hexi came with him?

Chengzong was about to answer Lingxi's question, but saw the king of Hexi stand up, arched his hand and said: "The king of heaven, my Hexi is a barren land, and there are no treasures. ”

"Why so much nonsense?" Lingxi whispered goosebumps as she listened.

"That's how they are, they like to have a metaphor or something, don't worry. Chengzong said.

"Before the minister came this time, he found a heavenly horse on the grassland, and he felt that there was any special meaning at that time, and when he saw the Lingfei Niangniang today, he knew that this heavenly horse was matched for the Niangniang, indicating the holy and lofty status of the Lingfei Niangniang!

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to ride a horse. Lingxi complained ruthlessly again, but this time she didn't mean to be embarrassed, because she really couldn't ride a horse.

"Uh, this. The king of Hexi is embarrassed now, his face is slightly red, and he really looks very embarrassed, he doesn't know if this concubine is deliberate or really lacks heart, even if he can't ride a horse, he doesn't have to say it to his face, right?

"Concubine Ling, the King of Hexi has a good intention, I think you should accept it!" Chengzong finally couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly relieved the siege for the King of Hexi.

King Hexi immediately cast a grateful glance at Chengzong.

"Okay, Your Majesty, you've said it, then bring that horse up and take a look, I'm deciding whether to do it or not. Lingxi said reluctantly.

"Isn't it insulting to bring that beast to this banquet?" an old man sitting below had been silently observing this qiē, and finally couldn't help but say at this moment.

Lingxi glanced at the man, and then saw the queen winking at the man, and knew that this man must be a relative of the queen's family, so he said, "Hey, old man. ”

"I'm the queen's father, the king! What an old man!" The old man turned out to be the queen's father, he originally saw Lingxi sitting on the left side of the emperor, and his status was even higher than that of the queen, so he naturally looked very dissatisfied, but the queen had already explained this matter to the family, and said that this Lingfei was now favored, and he didn't want to worry about her, so the old man didn't say anything, but he didn't expect that the king of Hexi would actually offer Tianma to Lingfei and ignore the queen, which made him unbearable, so he stood up and said.

"Oh, it's Kokujo-sama! Lingxi smiled slightly: "Didn't you just hear the king of Hexi say that it is a heavenly horse, and it is compatible with me, but you say that it is a beast, aren't you scolding me for being a beast? Then I am the emperor's concubine, and the emperor is not!

When the abbot heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and said: "The emperor Mingjian, the minister, the minister has no such intention!"

The queen finally couldn't help it, and said to Chengzong: "Your Majesty, the prince didn't mean that. ”

"Is that what the queen mother means, I'm deliberately slandering you? But just now, everyone here heard what Lord Guozhang said, Lord Ning, did you say?" Lingxi smiled and looked at King Ning.

King Ning nodded and said, "If it is understood literally, it is as Concubine Ling said." ”

"King Ning, you, why are you!" the prince looked at King Ning and couldn't help but say angrily.

"Alas, don't be angry, Lord Guozhang! You must know that Concubine Ling is a reasonable person, and she will not pursue this slip of the tongue. King Ning smiled, then looked at Lingxi and said, "I don't know what Concubine Lingniang thinks, what the minister said is right?"

"King Ning has said so, and this palace is indeed not easy to pursue anymore, so the adults of this palace don't care about the villain, and don't care about him!" Lingxi said with a smile.

"You!" the queen had already endured it all night, but now she really couldn't help it, and she was about to scold when she pointed at Lingxi's nose.

"What!" Lingxi didn't let go at all, and straightened up 36C.

"Okay, shut up for me! It's noisy, what kind of system!" Cheng Zong slapped the dragon chair and scolded loudly.

The queen hurriedly bowed her head to admit her mistake, while Lingxi snorted coldly, and then said to the king of Hexi: "King Hexi, you are fast enough to bring up the heavenly horse you said!"

When the king of Hexi saw that Concubine Ling and the queen had quarreled over this just now, he couldn't help but feel regretful, why did he tell the story of Tianma on the spot? But at this moment, he could only ask the emperor for help, and when he saw that the emperor nodded to him, he signaled his subordinates and led Tianma up.

I saw that this horse was dressed in pure black, with a well-developed torso and powerful limbs, and it looked extremely powerful.

"It's a good horse!"

The people around him who knew horses sighed when they saw this horse, and even Chengzong couldn't help but nod, with excitement in his eyes.

However, the only thing that was not interested in the scene was Lingxi, she really didn't have much interest in horseback riding, maybe she drove too many cars in her previous life, compared to the comfort of the carriage, riding a horse was simply a crime for her, so she just glanced at it, but she didn't show a little enthusiasm, just asked: "This is Tianma?"

"Yes, this horse is the Pegasus. The king of Hexi arched his hand and said.

"Black goo, you say this horse matches me, am I black?" Lingxi said a little puzzled.

"No, the minister didn't mean that, Niangniang may have misunderstood, the minister didn't say that the appearance of this horse matched you, Niangniang may not know where this horse came from. King Hexi hurriedly explained.

"Didn't you catch it on the grassland?" said Lingxi.

"Nope. The king of Hexi shook his head with a smile and said, "This horse is indeed obtained from heaven by the ministers. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel refreshed, and even Lingxi couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at the black horse a few more times.

"Oh, and this, the king of Hexi might as well come and hear it. "Chengzong is also full of interest.

"Obey the order, that day is preparing to set off, when we Hexi people leave the grassland, we will go to the mountain to worship the mountain god that day, and that day I was on the way back from worshiping the mountain god, I felt that there were people following behind me, but I looked back several times, only to see that the mountain road was empty, there was no figure at all, and then I walked to the foot of the mountain, but found that many people could not kneel for a long time, I was kneeling to me at first, and then I learned that they were worshipping this horse in the sky!" What the king of Hexi said was painting sound and color, what was the color of the sky at that time changed, thunder, lightning and the like, in short, it was a metaphor and comparison, and everyone listened to it with relish.

"Damn, I thought it was true, this is obviously serious nonsense! How could this horse be flying in the sky?" Lingxi couldn't help but whisper.

"Hey, King Hexi, you haven't said how you caught this horse. ”

Someone asked.

"Well, how can you say that it is captured? Then when I saw this horse in the sky, I also bowed down, and who knew that this horse actually came down from the clouds, and then stood before me. The king of Hexi said.

"Oh, then, if you want to come to this horse to recognize you as your master, how can this palace go against the will of heaven? Lingxi said.

"Concubine Lingniang, you misunderstood again, although I thought the same way at the time, but later I found out that it was not the case, although this horse appeared in front of me, but I was not allowed to touch it at all, otherwise I would go crazy, and when I came this time, I didn't plan to take it with me, it was it itself that followed all the way, I think since this horse is a Pegasus, and so spiritual, and when I see Niangniang, I can't help but think that Lingfei Niangniang is the owner of this horse!"

"However, I really don't have any interest in this horse, so why don't you give it to someone else!" Lingxi glanced at the black horse, but found that the black horse was also looking at himself, and he couldn't help but feel creepy, and his vest was cold.

"Stupid, this is indeed a Pegasus, don't be a pity. At this time, Xiao Xi's voice came into Lingxi's ears.

"Huh?" Lingxi looked at Xiao Xi in some surprise, and the other party nodded very affirmatively.

"King Hexi, since Concubine Ling is not interested, I quite like this horse, I wonder if you can give it to me?" Chengzong looked at the black horse and liked it more and more, and people at that time looked at horses the same way people look at cars now.

"Since Concubine Ling doesn't like horses, the minister is naturally willing to sacrifice them to the emperor. The king of Hexi arched his hand and said.

"Ouch, Your Majesty, how can you do this? I was just polite to the King of Hexi just now, and people still want this little pony!" Lingxi grabbed Chengzong's arm and said in a sneer.
