Chapter 40: The Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet
"Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived. With a shrill voice, the emperor and queen stepped into the high position hand in hand.
"Long live my emperor, long live, queen thousand years old, thousand years old. ”
"Zhong Aiqing is flat. ”
After everyone was seated, the emperor began his speech.
"This year, our Great Sage suffered a snowstorm that is rare in a century, killing and injuring many people and animals, and I am very sad. However, I am very pleased that Zhong Aiqing's generosity when the people are in trouble has rushed to the disaster area to provide relief, and I am very happy.
There are also the eldest prince and the second prince, although they have not been on the battlefield for many years, but they are still good to deal with the Great Wei.
Come and raise a glass to these people who have contributed to the Great Sage. ”
The red fox raised his glass and complained at the same time, they all lost, not bad, the emperor really didn't have high requirements for the two princes.
Everyone put down their wine glasses, and the emperor raised his hand slightly. The father-in-law beside the emperor said loudly: "Welcome the envoys of the two countries into the palace." ”
The door of the temple opened, and everyone looked in the direction of the temple entrance.
I saw that the Great Wei Kingdom came from an extremely heroic man and a masked woman with a bewitching figure and an exotic style.
The Great Zhou State was a middle-aged general and an old man. Looking at the old man's clothes, it should be the Taishi of the Great Zhou.
The four of them walked into the hall together and saluted the emperor and queen.
"The four envoys have come from afar, please take a seat. ”
After the four of them took their seats, the emperor said kindly in the direction of the Great Wei envoys, "This time, Princess Xiangrui and the third prince want to marry the Great Sage, I wonder if there is anyone in my heart?"
The third prince had an evil smile on his knife-like face, which fascinated many girls present, and he looked around the people present before he said to the emperor leisurely, "There are many beautiful women and handsome men in the Great Sage, it is really difficult to choose." ”
The emperor laughed, "Then please stay more time, I hope you can make this trip worthwhile." ”
The emperor chatted with the envoys of Da Zhou again, and then the song and dance were held, and the hall gradually became lively.
Gu Xiao grabbed the hand of the red fox, a little nervous, and whispered, "Xing'er, I'm so scared, that third prince feels so dangerous, you say, will my grandfather send me to make peace?"
Red Fox actually thinks that if you talk about harmony, it is more likely that the young ladies of those high-ranking officials still have themselves. Because who doesn't know that Da Wei is like a bandit's den, how the emperor is willing to let his children suffer. Therefore, you can only sacrifice other people's children.
The red fox also held Gu Xiao's hand, and listened to Xianghe come over and said, "My third brother is actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he is still a good person." ”
Gu Xiao pouted and retorted in a low voice, "But he has broken sleeves, what's the use of being a good person?"
Xianghe's face turned red, and he was stunned before he opened his mouth to explain, "That's all rumors, my third brother just wants to find a true love." ”
"He's your third brother, of course you told him. The two were still arguing, so they heard the seventh princess holding her stomach and whispering: "Don't quarrel, the third prince seems to have heard." ”
The red fox raised his eyes and saw that the third prince was looking over here, his eyes were full of playfulness.
The red fox frowned slightly, this man gave people a very dangerous feeling, especially his eyes, as if a beast saw its prey.
Seeing the red fox frowning, the sixth prince Mo Jinghuan asked with concern, "Xing'er is not feeling well, do you want me to take you to rest?"
The red fox smiled politely at Mo Jinghuan, "Thank you Sixth Prince, it's okay to be benevolent." ”
Mo Jingsa personally replaced the wine on the Red Fox's table with the juice that the Red Fox likes to drink, "You have never drunk, did you feel uncomfortable after drinking a glass just now?"
Red Fox took a sip of juice and shook his head, "I'm fine. ”
The eighth princess leaned on the red fox, looked at Mo Jingsa, and teased her, "Seventh brother, my sister also wants to drink juice, why doesn't Seventh Brother pour a glass for my sister." ”
Mo Jingsa opened the body of the eighth princess, "You are not afraid of pressing Xing'er." ”
Gu Xiao covered his eyes and turned his head, "Oh, oops, Uncle Seven, I'm embarrassed that you're like this." ”
Murong Le's chubby body also came over, "Daughter-in-law, the master will peel grapes for you." ”
Seeing Murong Le's serious little appearance, Gu Xiao gently pinched the child's little face, "You are only six years old, and you know that you want a daughter-in-law." ”
The emperor and queen and the concubine and others looked at the lively and lively side, talking and laughing, and they had to admire the red fox in their hearts, as long as there was a place for her, they could be full of laughter, which how many people can't do.
The concubine sighed in her heart, it's a pity, she used to be a woman of the sixth prince, and she didn't agree to let her son marry someone else who didn't want it.
At the end of a dance, a noble girl stood up and said to the emperor and queen and the envoys of the two countries: "Your Majesty, the queen." The courtiers thought that since the third prince and princess of Dawei were here to make peace, it would be better to let the young talents and nobles present show it, so that it would be convenient to kiss and kiss the big event. ”
Several people on the stage glanced at each other, and the queen looked at the woman with a smile, I don't know if Nian'er has any good ideas?"
Ye Nian'er smiled softly, "It's better to let all the men and women of appropriate age present come to draw lots and display them in order, if you really don't have talent, tell a joke to make everyone laugh." What does the Queen think?"
The queen glanced at the emperor and nodded, "Come on, just do it according to Nian'er's method." ”
As soon as the red fox saw that he had nothing to do, he was relieved to talk and laugh with Xiao Le'er in his arms in front of the melon-eating crowd, and chatted with the people around him.
"My sister and that girl have a good relationship. ”
Xiangrui's sarcastic voice sounded in Yuwen Tuo's ears.
"Peaceful and kind, naturally you can make friends everywhere. ”
Xiangrui snorted coldly, this occasion is not suitable for quarrels, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart.
Soon, one after another, young lads and girls came to the temple to show off their talents. When it was Gu Xiao's turn, this girl's hand was holding the red fox tightly, and Gu Xiao's palms were full of sweat and sticky. Seeing that Gu Xiao was nervous like this, the red fox had no choice but to lean into Gu Xiao's ear and whispered: "What are you nervous about, don't forget, he has broken sleeves and likes to have a flat chest on his chest. What's more, you are the queen's granddaughter, and the queen will not let you marry the big-tailed wolf if she fights for her life. Rest assured. ”
Hearing the red fox say this, Gu Xiao immediately stopped being nervous, and looked at Yuwentuo carefully, and grinned into the red fox's ear, "It's really like a big-tailed wolf." ”
Yuwen Tuo knew that they were talking about themselves as soon as he saw the eyes of the two girls, and he definitely didn't say anything good.
He was very curious about what the beautiful little girl said to the woman next to her, so that the person who was so nervous that his whole body stiffened instantly became natural, and he could still talk and laugh.
