The cold cicada is poignant, the long pavilion is late, and the showers are at the beginning of the break. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info all the door tent drink clueless, nostalgia, Lan Zhou urged. Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked. Thinking of going, thousands of miles of smoke waves, twilight is heavy and the sky is wide.

Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more so Kan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival! Where to wake up tonight? This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are thousands of styles, who to talk to?—— "Yulin Bell, Cold Cicada" Song Liuyong.

After Yan Bo left, nine little palace maids wearing hanging buns and water-green cross-collared skirts walked into the brightly lit hall with their hands down, and Qin Shui was among them. According to the design during the day, Qin Shui walked directly to the main seat in the hall and waited, only to wait until the banquet began, and was named by Yan Bo to pour wine for the prince of Dazhang Kingdom.

When the little palace maid who was waiting for the banquet was in place, the guests of the banquet began to appear one by one.

The first guest to arrive was Liang Shengde, the prince of the Great Liang State.

Leng Qing, who was quietly hiding in the darkness behind the pure wooden screen behind the main seat in the hall, saw Yan Bo smiling and welcoming Liang Shengde into the hall through the small hollow on the screen in front of her, Leng Qing was not surprised at all, after all, Liang Shengde and Yan Bo had a good relationship, and Leng Qing knew it when she was in the Great Liang Palace yesterday.

After Yan Bo led Liang Shengde to the first table on the right side of the hall and sat down, he smiled and talked to Liang Shengde before going out.

After a while, Yan Bo smiled and welcomed a woman into the hall, and arranged the woman to sit down behind the first table on the left side of the hall. After also laughing and talking to the woman, Yan Bo left again.

On this side, through the small hollow on the screen in front of her, Leng Qing saw that after Yan Bo left, Liang Shengde and the woman who were sitting behind the first table on the left and right sides of the hall smiled and nodded to each other, and the two greeted each other silently but politely.

Because he had known Liang Shengde's relationship for a long time, Yan Bo had not yet returned, and Leng Qing focused all his attention on the woman sitting behind the first table on the left side of the hall.

The first thing Leng Qing noticed was the clothes on the woman's body, how to say it, how did Leng Qing look at it and think that the clothes that the woman was wearing were very Li style-

He wears a turban embroidered with delicate patterns on his head, a tunicated shirt embroidered with patterns on the placket made of three to five pieces of plain fabric, and a long tube skirt embroidered with delicate patterns on the lower body. Wearing a tassel silver earring on each earlobe, a string of silver jewelry around the neck, and a silver bracelet on each wrist, isn't this the style of Li women?

Look at the woman's face - slender eyebrows, slightly raised Danfeng eyes at the end of the eyes, straight nose bridge, two red lips that are not thin or thick, and a smooth complexion like jade porcelain - she is a great beauty!

As for the woman's age......

In this other world where you can grow backwards at this age, Leng Qing can't tell how old the woman is now, and can only roughly estimate that the woman shouldn't be young, but it shouldn't be too old to say that she is very old, after all, the woman's eyes only have a trace of crow's feet, and it's not obvious.

According to Leng Qing's estimates, the woman should only be in her early thirties, but in fact......

Leng Qing thought about it, there is only one Feng Ming Kingdom on the Tiancheng Continent that respects women, and according to Yan Ziming, Feng Lengxin, the current crown princess of Feng Ming Kingdom, disappeared inexplicably ten years ago, and no one knows where the queen daughter went.

And because of Feng Lengxin's sudden disappearance, the ten-year gathering of the Nine Kingdoms of Qinshan ten years ago was the scene where a queen of Fengming Kingdom temporarily rushed to Qinshan to save her.

Ten years have passed, and the crown princess of Feng Mingguo is still in a state of disappearance, so the one who can come to Qinshan to participate in the gathering of the Nine Kingdoms this year is still a certain imperial relative of Feng Mingguo.

And because Yan Bo had said once during the day that he had already ordered someone to send out the invitation posts of the princes of the other seven kingdoms and a queen of Fengming Kingdom, Leng Qing thought that the woman wearing a Li women's costume sitting in this brightly lit hall should be the queen of Fengming Country in Yan Bo's mouth.

Then Leng Qing silently sorted out the royal family map of Feng Mingguo:

Feng Mingguo has respected women in the past dynasties, but each generation of female heirs is scarce and male heirs are flooded, and when it comes to Feng Lengxin's generation, the royal family of Feng Mingguo looks at the past, and there are a lot of male heirs, but the female heirs are only Feng Lengxin. In other words, in Feng Lengxin's generation, the entire royal family of Feng Ming Kingdom has only one single seedling like Feng Lengxin.

Feng Lengxin's husbands and attendants gave birth to two daughters to Feng Lengxin, but according to what Yan Ziming said, when Feng Lengxin disappeared ten years ago, her two daughters were only a few months old, and ten years have passed, Feng Lengxin's two daughters have just turned ten years old this year, and they are still children who have not grown their hair!

And counting from Feng Lengxin's generation, that is, Feng Lengxin's mother's generation, including Feng Changqing, the current empress of Feng Mingguo, the royal family of Feng Mingguo also got three female heirs, and the other two female heirs are Feng Changqing's imperial sisters Feng Changtian and Feng Changwu.

According to this calculation, no matter whether the queen of Feng Ming Kingdom who came to Qinshan to participate in the ten-year gathering of the nine countries this year is Feng Changtian or Feng Changwu, these two queens are already in their forties......

Thinking of this, Leng Qing, who was quietly hiding in the darkness behind the pure wooden screen behind the main seat in the hall, almost merged with the darkness around him, shook his head silently: So, in another world that can grow in reverse at this age, this kind of thing is simply used to deceive people! If you just look at the face, only God knows how old those people are!

Just as Leng Qing shook his head silently, Yan Bo smiled again and led two older-looking men into the hall.

Under the guidance of Yan Bo Xiaoyin, the two older men took their seats in the third order on the left and right sides of the hall respectively, and they were separated from Liang Shengde, who was sitting first on the left and right, and the queen of Fengming Kingdom. As for Yan Bo's seating arrangement, the two older men didn't even have the slightest objection.

Leng Qing estimated that it was probably because the two men who looked older were the princes of the five small countries! And the position of Liang Shengde's head and the position of the queen of Fengming Kingdom were to be reserved for the other two princes of the Chibing Kingdom and the prince of the Dazhang Kingdom, which belonged to the four major powers.

After that, Yan Bo went out a few more times, and each time he came back, he brought one or two men who were tall, short, fat, thin, and of different ages.

Finally, at the third quarter of the first month of You, the remaining eight countries on the Tiancheng Continent, the Chibing Kingdom, the Great Liang Kingdom, the Dazhang Kingdom, the Hui Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom, the Xiao Kingdom, and the Ying Kingdom, the current princes of the seven countries, and a queen of the Fengming Kingdom, all gathered in the palace of the Yan Kingdom, and sat down one by one under the personal welcome of Yan Bo, the host of the banquet.

And with the arrival of the guests, tonight's banquet has officially kicked off-

With the sound of silk and bamboo in the corner of the hall, all kinds of exquisite dishes are carefully placed in gold, silver and jade three kinds of discs, and are held by a beautiful palace maid in both hands and served to each table.

As the maids who served the dishes exited the palace gate, a scantily clad singer came in. As soon as he stood on the vacant space in the brightly lit hall, a famous singer began to twist her waist and shake her hips, so it was not fragrant.

The dishes have been served, the singing and dancing are ready, and then it's time to push the cups and change the lamps.

Compared to the lively atmosphere under the bright lights, this side, Leng Qing in the darkness quietly hidden behind the pure wooden screen behind the main seat in the hall Since the last time Yan Bo returned to the hall, Leng Qing's star-like eyes have never left the young man who Yan Bo welcomed into the hall for the last time-

Bronze complexion, oblique sword eyebrows, three white eyes with upper pupils, a straight nose with a slightly wide nose tip, light and thin lips, and a chin that is neither round nor pointed......

Such a young and handsome face, such a face that she hates to the bone - who is Chen Haoxian in modern society? !

Leng Qing can swear to the sky, this seemingly handsome but ugly hypocritical face, she will never forget it when she dies!!

Leng Qing in the darkness hidden behind the pure wooden screen behind the main seat in the hall stared at the young man sitting under the head of the queen of Fengming Kingdom, watching intently as the man and the other princes of the palace pushed cups and exchanged lamps and talked happily, Leng Qing couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

And when Leng Qing finally came back to her senses from the handsome face she remembered, Leng Qing told her very rationally: Just because they look the same doesn't mean that they are the same person, doesn't Lu Xueyue have the same face as Mongolian? But Lu Xueyue is not Mongolian! Maybe...... Don't be in a hurry, wait patiently, the main event should be on the stage, don't be in a hurry, be patient......

Just when Leng Qing warned her over and over again in her heart not to be anxious and to be patient, at the right time, the little palace maid who was in charge of pouring wine for the prince of Dazhang Kingdom accidentally knocked over the wine jug in her hand when pouring wine, and the clear wine was immediately spilled on the ground. Fortunately, the flask is made of copper, and it doesn't break even if it hits the ground, but the sound of the impact is a bit loud.

When the little palace maid saw this, she was immediately so frightened that she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.

Not only the little palace maid, but even the dancers who were performing songs and dances in the hall stopped their movements and stood in the center of the brightest hall one by one and looked at each other.

On this side, Yan Bo, who was sitting on the main seat in the hall, saw this, and immediately scolded the little palace maid who was prostrate at the feet of the prince of Dazhang Kingdom: "Things that don't know the rules can't go down yet!"

When the little palace maid who was prostrate on the ground and knocked over the wine jug heard this, she immediately got up from the ground tremblingly, and retreated without daring to raise her head.

After the little palace maid who had knocked over the wine pot retreated, Yan Bo waved his hand at the singers in the hall again, signaling them to continue jumping, and then Yan Bo smiled at Qin Shui, who was waiting beside him, and said, "Why don't you pour wine for Prince Xian?"

When Qin Shui heard this, she immediately held the copper wine jug in her hand and walked towards the prince of Dazhang Kingdom.

When he walked to the side of the prince of Dazhangguo, Qin Shui said to the prince of Dazhangguo who was about to pick up vegetables: "His Royal Highness Prince Xian, Mengyu will pour you wine." With that, Qin Shui slowly poured the clear wine from the wine jug in her hand into the wine glass in the hand of the prince of Dazhangguo.

When Qinshui poured a glass of wine and was about to retreat to Yan Bo, who was sitting on the main seat in the hall, the prince of Dazhang Kingdom, who was sitting behind the table with several exquisite dishes, suddenly smiled and said to Yan Bo, who was laughing with Liang Shengde: "Prince Bo, this little palace maid is quite my eye, I wonder if Prince Bo is willing to cut his love?"

On this side, on the main seat in the hall, Yan Bo immediately stopped laughing with Liang Shengde when he heard this, and turned to the smiling gaze of the prince of Dazhang Kingdom, Yan Bo made a look of embarrassment and said, "This ......"

On that side, when the prince of Dazhang Kingdom saw this, he immediately smiled at Yan Bo and said: "Of course, I won't let Prince Bo cut his love in vain, and when I return to the Dazhang Kingdom Palace tonight, I will immediately ask someone to send Prince Bo a high-grade jade Buddha, okay?"

"A mere palace maid can get the eyes of the virtuous prince and fly on the branches from now on, this is her great blessing, how can I, the master, stop me?" This time, almost without hesitation, Yan Bo smiled so much and accepted the prince of the Great Zhang Kingdom.

Immediately, the voice changed, but Yan Boru commanded Qin Shui, who was holding the wine jug, in the air: "It's rare that Prince Xian can take a fancy to you, in the future, you will follow Prince Xian to Dazhang Kingdom with Prince Xian!" But you have also been with Prince Ben for ten years, and you have been loyal in the past ten years, and you don't need to worry about no one to take care of your family in Yan Country after you go to Dazhang Kingdom, Your Highness will be properly settled, and you will not treat them badly. ”

Towards Yan Bo on the main seat in the hall, he bowed his head from afar, and Qin Shui respectfully agreed: "Thank you, Your Highness." With that, Qin Shui took a step back and stood quietly beside the prince of the Great Zhang Kingdom like the other palace maids in the palace.

"What's your name?" Here, the prince of Dazhang suddenly asked Qin Shui with a smile.

Bowing his head to the prince of Dazhang Kingdom, Qin Shui's voice replied crisply without a trace of hesitation: "Prince Huixian, the slave maid is called Mengyu." ”

"Can you read?" asked the prince of Dazhang with a smile again.

"Prince Huixian, the slave only knows his own name. Maintaining a respectful bowing of his head, Qin Shui replied without hesitation.

The prince of Dazhang suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the wine glass in his hand, and smiled at Qinshui: "In this way, I will write your name to His Highness." ”

Qin Shui stretched out his fingers and dipped some wine in the glass, and wrote the crooked word "rain" on the dark red table.

"It's drizzling, it's a good name. You will step aside first, and then leave with Your Highness when the feast is over. In the end, after such a praise and a simple order, the prince of Dazhang Kingdom went to drink with all the guests in the palace.

The banquet continued, the singing and dancing in the hall continued one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall was as active as ever...... (To be continued.) )
