Chapter Twenty-Three: The Court Dinner

Then I was sent to the post house and stayed for three days until Xuanyuan Qi arrived. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "Nian'er, Nian'er." "I was staying in my room reading a book, and I heard shouts from outside, so I didn't understand the rules, so I could only be Xuanyuan Qi.

I got up and came to the front hall, and sure enough, I saw Xuanyuan Qi looking for me from the east to the west, "Third brother." ”

"Nian'er, you're really back, come and let the third brother take a look." Saying that, I was pulled into his arms, and in this era, the sages and sages taught that men and women are not intimate, but Xuanyuan Qi is an exception.

"Third brother, be loose, you have all strangled you." I struggled in his arms, not because men and women could not kiss each other, but because his strength was too great.

"It's okay, I'm so happy." He let go of me and said.

Xuanyuan Qi is much stronger than when I left, and looks like a general, but his reckless and straightforward personality has not changed, probably because of frequent correspondence, and I have no relationship with him.

"Nian'er has really become beautiful." He said, looking at me.

"How is that better than your newly married concubine?"

I know that he is very dissatisfied with the first beauty of the Golden Flower that his father pointed out to him, "Don't mention her, how can she compare with Nian'er, I am tired of it when I think of her." ”

"Haha," I couldn't help but laugh when I looked at his expression, because I remembered that he had mentioned to me in his letter that this newly married side concubine followed him all day long, sticking to him, and he couldn't blame him for being the daughter of the prime minister, in short, it made him very angry.

was smiling, but looked at Xuanyuan Yan standing at the door, he couldn't see any expression on his face, he didn't know how long he had been standing here, "Second brother is here too." I put away my smile and said.

"Second brother, why did you just come in, look, what the eldest brother said is right, Nian'er is really a beauty now."

He still looked at me expressionlessly and said, "Tonight's father's birthday banquet, someone will come to take you into the palace later, you can prepare it." After speaking, he flashed a retreating look at Xuanyuan Qi.

Xuanyuan Qi looked at me reluctantly, "Nian'er, the third brother still has something, let's talk when we meet in the evening." ”

Then everything was quiet again, and I could only continue to wait quietly for the evening feast to come.

In the evening, I was brought into the palace again, I have always hated the banquet in the palace, it was just a battlefield of many women competing for jealousy and scratching their heads, I sat alone in an inconspicuous corner, looking at the familiar or unfamiliar faces in front of me, quietly waiting for my father and the emperor to arrive. With a shrill "The emperor has arrived." "The dinner party has officially begun, and I have been left to the side, and I have begun to wonder if the news that the emperor's uncle asked me to come back for my birthday celebration is accurate.

Finally, the eunuch next to my father walked up to me, "Third princess, the emperor is invited." I followed him past the ministers who toasted and praised each other, and came to my father.

"Nian'er is here." He finally looked up at me.

He is old, his temples are a little gray, and his body is less domineering, and he is more like a loving father at the moment, but he still does not have fatherly love in his eyes when he looks at me.

"I've seen the emperor." I was polite and cold to him, and he was no longer my father since he decided to send me to the wind.

"Sit down here." He pointed to a seat not far away. I sat down obediently with his concubines and children.

"Is the third sister doing well all these years?" As soon as I sat down, Xuanyuan Yuran next to me asked with a mocking expression, I knew that in her eyes I was just a waste person who was sent away without anyone wanting, and her question must not be out of concern, since Xuanyuan Qi cut her plum blossoms, she escalated from disgust to hatred towards me.

"It's fine." I still replied coldly, looking at her dress as if she had already married a wife, she must have quite a lot of capital to laugh at me so openly, I don't want to cause trouble on her territory, I just want to return to the wind as soon as possible after the birthday celebration to live my happy life.

"It's fine." She seemed to be unsatisfied with my answer, "That sister toasts my sister, and I wish my sister's good life can continue." As she spoke, she motioned to the palace maid behind her to pour wine. She raised the huge wine glass, "My sister is pregnant, so I can only replace wine with tea, my sister won't mind, right?" ”

"The eldest sister is serious, I will do it first as a respect." After saying that, I raised my glass and drank it down, and the brothers and sisters and mothers present seemed to be shocked by my bold drinking style.

"The second sister also toasts her sister." Xuanyuan Fengran also followed her sister to pour me wine. I was secretly funny in my heart, what can I do if I get drunk, I don't care if I'm drunk and ugly, I'm not a lady, and it's a shame to lose face and shame your royal face, so I didn't blink an eye, and I drank it all again. In fact, I know for myself that these glasses of wine can't do anything to me, how many nights have I raised a glass to invite Mingyue to drink three people when the wind is cold.

"Nian'er has a good amount of wine, come and have a drink with the third brother." Xuanyuan Qi also came over to join in the fun, I secretly scolded this idiot in my heart, but I could only accompany him to drink it all.

"Yan'er, you take your younger brothers and sisters and the ministers to celebrate my birthday, you young people have fun and have fun, I will go back to rest first when I am tired." Then in a cheer of the emperor, the father got up and left the table, after the father left, Xuanyuan Yan also let the ministers feel free, and soon after a while, there were not many people present at the banquet, but the banquet continued, and the singing and dancing continued. I also couldn't finish tasting the wine in the cup, looking up at the bright moon, but unfortunately I couldn't drink three people tonight, I had words in my heart, and I drank it all to the moon.

After a few glasses of wine, I was a little sad, this trip to the golden flower made me a little disappointed, so the place revisited yesterday, but at this time only the grievances of my mother and the indifference of my father flashed in my mind, I knew that I must have been happy here, but at this time I can't remember.

"The third sister has been in the wind for many years, she must have seen the passionate singing and dancing of the wind, right? I wonder if my sisters will be lucky enough to enjoy my sister's dance? ”

Or Xuanyuan Yuran continues to attack me, my current identity is the general's wife, in Jinhua I only have rules and etiquette, and I naturally can't refuse when the masters ask me to perform songs and dances.

"Then my sister will be ugly." I agreed without hesitation or awkwardness, looking at Xuanyuan Yuran's stunnedness, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"Then sister, please." She said with a fierce smile on my face.

In fact, I will dance the sword, I am really not good at singing and dancing, go on stage, I sit down next to the guqin on the side of the stage, I am not proficient in piano skills, but I can also play my favorite tune, look up at the people with different expressions in the audience, my heart is even more sad, but at this time, the song "Drunken Concubine" suddenly appeared in my mind, but it is also in line with my current slightly drunk state, in fact, I don't understand the artistic conception of this song, I just feel that it is a little sad, some grievances, even if I don't understand the meaning of several lyrics, but it doesn't matter, I looked up at the night sky, and began to sing as if no one was around.

"That year, the snowflakes fell, and the plum blossoms bloomed

There was too much sorrow left next to Huaqing Pond that year

Don't say who's who's wrong, what's wrong or right

I just want to get drunk with you again in my dreams

The gorse jade scratching is your gift to me

The song of neon clothes and feathers is reincarnated several times for you to sing and dance

The Sword Gate Pass is your deep miss for me

Ma Weipo is willing to break his face for true love

Love and hate are in a moment

Raise a glass to the moon like the sky

Love and hate

Ask you when you will fall in love

Chrysanthemum terrace reflecting the bright moon

Who knows that my love is cold

Drunk in the arms of the king

Dream back to Datang love"
