Chapter 252: Appearing one after another
The ministers and dignitaries lined up in front of each other, but the students of the two schools were in the back row near the imperial steps, with the men on the left and the women on the right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And closer to the temple gate than they were, sat the sons and daughters of the powerful families.
Dugu Weiwei swept his eyes and saw several acquaintances.
Sikong Miaoyan was sitting impressively, because he attended the night banquet, he did not wear the usual veil. It looks like it is carefully dressed, with a high Wangxian bun on his head, a gorgeous decoration on his forehead, and a touch of rouge on his lips, which looks really beautiful and unique, and a little reserved and quiet, with a lot of style.
In the front row of the two students, the seats on the left and right sides are mostly empty. Dugu Wei thought that it should be the seat of the most noble person and the envoy of Donghu.
When the seats were about to be filled one after another, I heard the sharp voice of the waiter from time to time: "The king of Hanyang has arrived in ----"
"Shen Guogong arrives at ----"
"The eldest princess of Yiyang arrives in ----"
As a high-ranking and powerful man appeared on the stage, everyone present stood up to greet him.
"His Royal Highness King Ning to ----"
Dugu Weiwei heard this sound, quickly turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Ke wearing a round-necked robe with a white tuft and a white jade crown on his head.
No matter where he went, this person was like a luminous body, shining brightly and attracting everyone's attention. In the main hall, whether men and women are talking to people, they all look over, and for a while, the only music left in the huge hall is still playing faintly.
Occasionally, there were a few gasps, but it was the girls who couldn't stand it.
Dugu Weiwei looked at Xiao Ke with a smile, and thought proudly: Such an outstanding man is this girl's!
Her father, Dugu Shaotang, was sitting diagonally opposite her, seeing his daughter's expression clearly, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Ke ignored it and walked towards his position, and as his footsteps moved, the hall suddenly seemed to come to life, except for a few senior ones, the rest of the people were busy getting up and saluting.
King Hanyang laughed: "Xiaoliu is here, come and sit." ā
His position was second on the left, under the head of the King of Hanyang, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the girl smiling at him on the other side, and he couldn't help but soften the lines on his face.
The girl looks good in black, and her little face is as white as jade, and she is shining. She was full of energy and energetic, as fresh as a delicate flower in early spring, and as flexible and upright as a green bamboo in the mountains, and he couldn't help but rejoice just by looking at it.
After Xiao Ke sat down, he listened to the eunuch's message, and King Kang and Princess Kang arrived.
King Kang is the fifth son of the first emperor, his biological mother Yu Jieyu died prematurely, and he was raised by Concubine Yu. King Kang was also born prematurely and was weak, and spent most of the year recuperating from illness and never participated in political affairs, so he was able to survive in the competition between the crown prince and King Gong for imperial power.
Dugu Weiwei has only heard of his name and has never heard of him. The six sons of the first emperor, now only the emperor, Xiao Ke and this King Kang are left. She was curious and couldn't help but take a few looks.
King Kang was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, pale and weak, with a handsome face, and his body was so thin that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
A young woman in her early twenties beside him helped him in, with a round face and a good temper, she should be Princess Kang.
King Kang grabbed his hand vigorously, and said in his mouth: "I can walk by myself, and I am not seventy or eighty." ā
Princess Kang smiled and said yes, but her hands were correct.
The people of his own side were almost here, and the second prince of Donghu, Ashina Dulie, and his subordinates entered the palace accompanied by Dugu Weiqing and Lord Xiaofang of the Ministry of Rites and Lord Shangshu Chen.
In order to show the importance of the guests, everyone in Dawei stood up to greet them.
Waiting for the dozen or so masters and servants of the Hu people to sit down and greet the officials for a while, they heard the eunuch's voice: "The emperor has arrived in ----"
Great Wei is generally not an occasion for formal court meetings, and there is no need to bow down to greet the emperor. So everybody just got up and greeted.
Emperor Xiao Tong of Tianyou was followed by more than a dozen people in Wuyang, and it was the queen mother Lu Changjun who was on his wrong shoulder, followed by the crown prince Xiao Duo, the second prince Xiao Qin, the third prince Xiao Gong, the Yongjia princess Xiao Jun, the Yongchang princess Xiao Yu and other elderly princes and princesses.
Queen Lu Changjun is dressed so gracefully and luxuriously, and when she doesn't speak, she is glamorous and beautiful, and she looks like that. It's a pity that as soon as he speaks, the characteristics of his embroidered pillow are exposed.
The second prince Xiao Qin is fifteen or sixteen years old, and his biological mother is Jieyu. The third prince Xiao Gong is not much different in age from the second prince, and he is a vigorous teenager who walks with the wind.
He is very similar to Xiao Junsheng, the princess of Yongjia, the second son of the former queen Wei, the younger brother of the prince, and the younger brother of Xiao Jun.
In the sound of ceremonial music, Xiao Tong smiled and sat down, and raised his hand very gently to let everyone sit.
Then he told Du Lie and the envoys about the good-neighborliness, friendship and peaceful coexistence between the two countries, and then ordered a banquet.
A row of palace maids entered in a neat row, presenting wine and a variety of delicacies.
Immediately, the bell rang, and a group of dancing girls entered. They each wore bright red dance clothes, bandeau and low bunch, and long sleeves and light yarn. The veil was as thin as a cicada's wings, and the white skin loomed beneath it.
Although the hall is warm, it should be very cold to dress up like this in such a cold weather, Dugu Weiwei couldn't help but shudder when he saw it, and secretly thought that it was not easy for these dancing girls to listen.
The dancing girl dances with the music, the long sleeves are like clouds, the tulle is like mist, like a wild goose flying in the sky, the body is light, graceful and elegant. Sometimes the movement is slightly larger, and the fullness of the chest is about to come out.
Dugu Weiwei casually stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth, closed his mouth and chewed slowly and gracefully, but his eyes did not stop, and he purred happily.
Whether the powerful people of the Great Wei Dynasty have seen too much music and dance of their own dynasty, or in order to preserve the face of the Celestial Empire in front of foreign races, at least on the surface, they ignore the spring in front of them.
At least half of the people on Donghu's side had their eyes almost glued to the chests of the dancers, and there were a few people with naked eyes showing desire, and they seemed to pounce on them at any time with a green light like a wolf.
Dugu Weiwei found that these dancing girls were obviously a little timid towards the Hu people, and every time they danced to the side of the Donghu envoy due to the needs of the formation, they would always unconsciously stay away from them.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Hu Shengsheng's physique is strong, his hair is thick, and his behavior is rude and uninhibited, which looks quite scary.
Du Lie's expression was worth playing, he watched with a smile, his eyes were clear, as if he was really appreciating the dance, and he was ignoring the spring in front of him.
Dugu Weiwei secretly thought, this person is really a character, I am afraid that he is a person with a firm mind and a clear goal. Such a figure, if he is allowed to ascend to the throne of Donghu, I am afraid that he will be a strong enemy of Great Wei.
Although the Donghu people are eyeing the dancing girl, fortunately they didn't ask for it, otherwise when the two countries established diplomatic relations, the other party put forward this small request, and the emperor probably wouldn't reject it, which would be a pain for these flower-like girls.
