Chapter 16: The Thrilling Feast (1)
Walking into the main hall, in the middle is a vermilion lacquer square platform about two meters high, on which is placed a gold lacquer carved dragon throne. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Behind is the carved dragon screen, there are six tall dragons coiled around the golden pillar on both sides of the square platform, looking up at the top of the palace, a huge carved dragon dragon, lined with flowing clouds and flames, the dragon head is facing the golden luan throne below, giving people an invisible sense of persecution and imperial majesty.
Mo Ruqi said a black gold silk dark pattern gauze robe, three thousand green silk tied high, wearing only a red jade hairpin, maverick, and this full of respectful guests, it seems incompatible.
Before he could sit down, he heard a small chattering voice: "Is this the Pavilion Master of the Water Killing Pavilion?" I'm too young. ”
"It turns out that the master of the dignified Water Killing Pavilion is actually a woman!"
“……”
Mo Ruqi didn't pay attention to it, after all, she was used to it.
However, she suddenly felt a gaze as cold as a thousand years of ice, Mo Ruqi followed the gaze, and looked at the cold eyes of Shangzhongsu Wang Yuwen. Obviously, it was only at this moment that he discovered that Xuan Ming, who had received them in the Bayin Workshop that day, was not the Pavilion Master of the Water Killing Pavilion.
Zhongtong Wang Yuwen Tongyi on the side smiled with his eyebrows, nodded slightly towards Mo Ruqi, he didn't seem surprised, but he expected it, compared to Yuwen Hansu, there was still a bit of appreciation and praise in his eyes.
This made Mo Ruqi take a few more looks, he was wearing a soapy white satin robe today, with a jade belt around his waist and an ivory folding fan in his hand. It also makes him handsome and tall, gentle and elegant.
Mo Ruqi smiled in return, and as soon as he sat down, he saw King Beichen striding against the light, and the bright sun shone behind him, giving him a halo.
The one who entered the palace with him was not his newly married princess Li Daimei, but Ling'er, who had just taken a look outside the palace. Yuwen Muling did not shy away from it, and kept holding his hand and entering the hall with him, and the two behaved extremely intimately.
However, the crowd did not react to the intimacy of the two of them, and apparently they were still accustomed to it.
When everyone was speculating about why Li Daimei did not attend with King Beichen, Yuwen Han's cold voice came: "Ling'er, your seat is here!" ”
Yuwen Muling shrank in fright, glanced at Yuwen Junyan aggrievedly, and reluctantly sat down in the seat next to King Zhongsu.
Seeing this, Mo Ruqi faintly had some impressions that Yuwen Junyan had a cousin who had been close since childhood, and the intimacy even exceeded that of her own brother.
Because when she was young, Yuwen Junyan was still the crown prince and loved this cousin very much, but her own brother has always been cold and indifferent.
Now it seems that Yuwen Junyan's cousin is this Ling'er, and her brother is Yuwen Hansu. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the seat on the left side of the Beichen Dynasty coming over.
King Zhongtong and King Zhongsu both sat on the upper seat of the opposite main seat, but King Beichen's seat was arranged on the guest side, and even in the lower seat of Mo Ruqi, which surprised Mo Ruqi, Wang Sun Gongzi, in the palace, how is he a guest? is even ranked under her Jianghu cloth.
But King Beichen seemed to be accustomed to it and sat down naturally.
Fang Cai Mo Ruqi didn't pay attention, today he was actually the same as himself, wearing a dark red gold silk brocade robe, a cold and heavy aura came from the surface, and the haze on his heroic face had not yet dissipated.
After his sharp eyes swept coldly over the guests, he lowered his eyes and sat down on the floor, his right hand tapping lightly on the table.
He would unconsciously bang on the table as he pondered, and it hadn't changed for so many years. Mo Ruqi thought to herself, took a sip of tea, and swallowed the complex emotions in her heart.
"The emperor has arrived!" At that moment, a loud voice was heard, and everyone fell to their knees.
Emperor Zhonghou strode forward surrounded by everyone, with a bright yellow dragon robe, with a natural momentum, echoing the carved dragon in the hall, giving people invisible oppression.
Mo Ruqi knelt on the ground, only to see a pair of boots embroidered with delicate dragon patterns walking in front of him, that steady pace walking with a strong wind, it must be a person with deep internal strength.
However, just when he heard the word flat and was about to get up, Mo Ruqi suddenly saw the candlelight flickering in front of Emperor Zhonghou, and the aura was extremely strong, and immediately, the cup on the dragon case was controlled by a strong internal force, and it bypassed in front of everyone's eyes with a strong wind, and attacked straight towards Mo Ruqi's location.
Just when everyone thought that this sudden blow would definitely hurt Mo Ruqi, at the most critical moment, the cup was firmly fixed, and it seemed that there was a hand invisibly controlling the cup at a distance of only one punch from her.
Mo Ruqi's eyes were on the torch, secretly condensing the true qi, fighting between the two sides, and fighting with simple internal forces.
Suddenly, Mo Ruqi's eyes moved, with an incomprehensible profundity. The crowd didn't even see when the woman had her hand, but they heard a sharp cracking sound of porcelain, and they saw the broken pieces of porcelain flying away with a powerful momentum.
The audience was shocked, and hurriedly held his head with his hands so as not to be hurt. However, the broken porcelain piece seemed to have eyes, and it carried a strong wind around the ears of the people, and drove it into the pillars of the main hall.
And Mo Ruqi stood unsteadily under this strong internal force, and took a few steps back suddenly, and bright red blood was already gushing out of his lips.
At this moment, Emperor Zhonghou's majestic laughter sounded in the main hall: "Hahaha, the Pavilion Master of the Water Killing Pavilion really lives up to his reputation. At such a young age, he can so freely control foreign objects that are out of the palm of his hand. ”
That being said, there was a look of disdain in his expression. Although he did not mention Mo Ruqi's injury, he also helped Mo Ruqi shirk on the grounds of youth.
But the instinctive reaction when you are defenseless is the truest strength of a person. Obviously, today's big move invited him into the palace, and Mo Ruqi's performance today was not satisfactory.
However, he is a king after all, so naturally he can't lose face in front of everyone. Besides, even if he was injured and caught his blow, it was considered internal strength. It's just that, after this attempt, the enthusiasm for letting the Water Killing Pavilion serve him has cooled down by more than half.
Mo Ruqi straightened his sleeves, sat back in his place, and said: "Emperor Zhonghou said that he was laughing, this pavilion is not as strong as Emperor Zhonghou's internal strength, Emperor Zhonghou sent a letter to invite, arrested Jin Se and forced him to the front, sent Wei Yan to test along the way, and today he unexpectedly tested me on this hall." Today, the performance of this cabinet is afraid to disappoint Emperor Zhonghou. ”
As soon as the words fell, King Zhongtong had already ordered someone to send Jinpa to the seat, Mo Ruqi did not refuse, took it and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled at King Zhongtong to show his gratitude.
Emperor Zhonghou had displeasure on his face, turned around and sat on the dragon chair, waving his sleeves with a strong internal strength and aura, with the emperor's inviolable imperial might.
There was no extra greeting, and Emperor Zhong Hou went straight to the point and said: "Today's banquet is set up to entertain the Pavilion Master of the Water Killing Pavilion, and I think the meaning of loneliness is also clear to you." For a long time, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes do not interfere with each other, but after all, the imperial court is the largest rivers and lakes, and the temple is the first choice for talented people. Of course, if the Water Killing Pavilion can serve the imperial court, Lone will naturally not be treated badly. ”
