"I think the name Taifu is very good. ”

Emperor Xie praised. ”

Taifu put down the brush in his hand, and wrote two big characters on the paper in front of him, Cheng Pian.

Cheng Qing was still holding Concubine Li's little hand in her hand, and a slight smile bloomed on her lips.

The name seems to be very much to his appetite.

"Taifu is really talented, no matter how you look at this name, it is a good name with meaning. ”

The prime minister sat on the side, holding a glass in his hand.

Mochen sat beside him, also holding a tasting glass in his hand and tasting it carefully.

At first glance, the two really have the charm of a master.

Even the way to hold the cup is the same.

"Thank you Prime Minister for your appreciation, with your compliment, Xia Guan is really relieved. ”

"The relationship between the two is really good........."

Cheng Qing didn't seem to know the subtle atmosphere between the prime minister and the Taifu, and said with a smile.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Concubine Li, who was standing beside him.

"Concubine Li, do you think it's good to get your father's name?"

Concubine Li also turned her head and saw Cheng Qing's unusually determined eyes.

Do you have to let her say something?

"Actually, if the emperor likes it, the concubines don't have any opinions. ”

She lowered her eyes slightly and looked at her father.

He seems to have lost a lot of weight.

The already old face looks even older when it is thin.

When she first entered the palace, he was still a little rich.

His back didn't seem to be as hunched as it was now.

Even the hand in which he held the pen seemed to be slowly shaking.

On his high bun, a little gray hair can also be seen in the part that is hidden by the official hat.

Her father, all these years.

It seems to be really old.

The old speed scared her.

Fear that one day in the future we will see him die.

Presumably, her mother is the same.

The same is getting older day by day.

But their only daughter, she, in this palace, has lived like a golden bird for more than ten years, and she has never fulfilled her filial piety to them.

The reunion once a year has also been canceled by Cheng Qing again and again.

made her almost completely cut off contact with her mother's family.

Her mother is such a fragile woman, she hasn't seen herself for ten years, how painful she should be.

In the past, she was stupid, and her mind was full of Cheng Qing.

She barely thought about her home, she didn't think about her aging parents.

She thought that her parents would still be the same as when she was a child.

Same life.

Now it seems that, it turns out, they are already old.

They can't be who they used to be.

"Father...... Master Taifu, please put down the paper in your hand first, it's very tiring to hold it........"

She struggled to suppress the tremors in her voice.

She wanted to cry now.

I really want to be like when I was a child, and when I was wronged, I threw myself into her father's arms and cried well.

Then let her father stand up for her and be angry for her.

But now, no.

Her father, now, doesn't seem to be as powerful as he used to be.

Now, it's up to her to protect him.

"Yes, Taifu, you put it down, Concubine Li didn't say that I forgot it. ”

Cheng Qing gave an order, and Taifu was finally able to put down the paper in his hand.

The two words of Cheng Pian slowly floated to the table, and a drop of ink that had just not dried up left a mark behind the words.

"I'm going to go with Concubine Li to see the foreign guests now, and you can go to the table now, and I'll be back in a while. ”

"Yes, the ministers send the emperor to his mother. ”

Cheng Qing pulled Concubine Li up, bypassed the ministers kneeling on the ground, and walked straight out.

Concubine Li followed Cheng Qing expressionlessly, and when she passed her father, she glanced down at him.

It turned out that under the official hat, the part that I didn't see just now had more gray hair.

He just tied up his gray hair and kept it from others.

She suddenly had a sour nose, and as soon as she walked out of Chongrui Palace, she shed tears in anger.

"Do you feel sorry for your father?"

The person in front of her didn't turn his head, but he guessed her thoughts.

"You...... How do you ........"

"You've always been like this, isn't everything written on your face, who wouldn't be able to see it?"

"Why do you want to help me?"

"Don't you know that as a noble concubine, you can't shed tears in front of outsiders? ”

"I'm not a royal man....... Soon it won't. ”

Concubine Li's voice was muffled, but it could make Cheng Qing hear it clearly.

"Hiss ......."

The big hand that held her hand suddenly became so hard that it hurt her.

After hearing her cry of pain, the hand let go.

"Leaving me makes you so happy?"

"Perhaps. ”

"You've thought so before, you've thought so before, haven't you?"

"Your Majesty, is there any point in talking about this now?"

Concubine Li stopped and looked up.

The people in front finally stopped.

The face she had loved for years, the face that had remained the same for many years.

Turned.

He seemed to be in some pain.

But there was still a smile on his face.

"Because this way, I will feel a little better. ”

He paused, then pointed his other finger at his atrium, "Here, it will be a little less painful." ”

The foreign guests were arranged in the Si'an Palace, which was not far from the Ju'an Palace.

Although it is not yet meal time, the foreign guests have already arrived.

The foreign guests come from all over the world, and each of them dresses differently, speaks different languages, and even has different hairstyles and skin colors.

Some love melons and fruits, some love meat, and some love dim sum.

But the most consistent thing is that they both love to drink.

The palace people held plates of melons and fruits and snacks and put them one by one in front of the foreign guests.

When Cheng Qing and the others came in, the palace people all stopped what they were doing and saluted respectfully.

The foreign guests who enjoyed the food on the side also expressed respect in their own way.

Cheng Qing sat on the main seat with Concubine Li.

Concubine Li had a somewhat stiff smile on her face.

It was the first time she was brought to such an occasion by Cheng Qing.

In the past, this position has always been occupied by Concubine De.

And the most she could do was eat something at the family feast.

This time, she was the hostess.

But the smile will be so stiff, the most important thing is what she just heard Cheng Qing's words.

That sentence made her feel indescribable to this day.

"Guests have come from afar, I will do it first!"

Cheng Qing let go of Concubine Li's hand, picked up the wine glass that had been prepared in the morning, and drank all the wine inside.

The foreign guests below let out bursts of applause.

This is the feast of men.

A burly, rough-looking man suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand and speaking something unintelligible.

A translator listened carefully to the side, and then gave them a sentence by sentence translation, "The Emperor of the Wind Country is really bold! I will toast you on behalf of our king!"

"Thank you!

The palace people around Cheng Qing immediately filled Cheng Qing with wine, and Cheng Qing didn't look at it, and drank it all in one gulp.

Concubine Li couldn't help frowning on the side.

He didn't have breakfast today.

Now I've had two glasses of wine.

"You are all distinguished guests of the Wind Country, this glass of wine, I pay tribute to the kings of all countries, and express my respect for the Wind Country. ”
