Chapter 131
Guan Ju Palace
The banquet to welcome the envoys of the four countries was held in the Guanju Palace, which was used to entertain dignitaries in the past, and banquets were held in this palace only on the birthday of the emperor and empress.
The palace has already laid out a good gold and red carpet, and it is surrounded by colorful silk, and even the flowers are carefully selected. The cups have all been replaced with gold cups, and the chopsticks have also been replaced with silver chopsticks, presumably for the rest of the envoys, it can be seen that Concubine Li and Concubine Mei are thoughtful. At this time, before the banquet began, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestras around had already sounded, but the sound of the piano came from Huzhou and was more clear through the sound of water.
The emperor helped the queen mother to sit carefully on the dragon and phoenix seat of the main seat, and Concubine Mei had already put the cushion behind the queen and let her lean on.
"Concubine Mei's arrangement is very elegant, without losing the bearing of our Eastern Qin, the emperor should reward his sister well at night." As he spoke, he glanced thoughtfully at Concubine Mei who was already ruddy on the side.
"This is all arranged according to the instructions of the mother, and the concubine is just a fighter, which is not a credit." Concubine Mei said humbly
The emperor looked at the concubine who was as beautiful as Mei, Concubine Mei was only twenty, it was the best age for a woman, coupled with the queen's training these days, the femininity on Concubine Mei was even stronger, and the emperor looked at the shy concubine with deep eyes. "Concubine Ai has worked hard, I went to your palace at night, I always heard the queen talk about your dancing posture these days, and Concubine Ai should dance a song for me at night."
"Yes, the concubine obeys."
"Concubine Yi and Concubine Li, why haven't they come at this time, the envoys of the four countries are already waiting outside the palace." The queen looked left and right and said displeasedly
"Queen, it may be that the eighth child is pestering Concubine Li again, Xiao Dezi sent someone to take a look. What's going on with them. The queen looked at the little father-in-law behind her and said
"Whoa"
As soon as Xiao Dezi left, Pang Luoxue and King Yu arrived together, and the queen watched the two come together, so she naturally couldn't close her mouth happily.
"The son has seen his father and the queen mother"
"The courtiers have seen the emperor, Your Majesty."
"Zhengyang, Cher, hurry up. You two came early," said the emperor
The two stood aside, and Zhao Zhengyang said, "I already remembered it when I heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and Erchen thought it was too late." ”
The queen smiled lovingly, "You came early. Cher. Come to the Queen Mother. ”
Pang Luoxue looked at the queen, stepped forward and stood beside the queen, and the queen took her hand and said, "Your hands are so cold." But it's cold. ”
The emperor on the side looked at Pang Luoxue, his skin was whiter than snow, although he was young, his appearance faintly revealed a little taste. The empress looked at the emperor's expression. Displeased, the husband and wife for so many years naturally knew what the emperor was thinking.
The queen looked at the emperor and said affectionately, "Your Majesty." Xue'er is the righteous daughter of the concubine, and these days it all depends on this girl's service, and His Majesty wants to reward her well for the concubine. ”
When the emperor heard that she was the queen's daughter, he immediately lacked interest. The queen's daughter-in-law is nominally his daughter-in-law, really. This girl has been raised for a few years, and I am afraid that there is no match for it in the entire Eastern Qin. It's a pity that such a woman can't be enjoyed by him. "This is the daughter of the Pang Guogong family. It looks beautiful. Last time I entered the palace, I had an ice jade pillow, and it was suitable to use it in summer. ”
"It's indeed a good thing, Xue'er, thank you quickly."
"The courtiers thanked Your Majesty." Pang Luoxue saluted
The Emperor nodded
"Yi Guifei arrived," Xiao Dezi sang
Yi Guifei was wearing the costume of a concubine, wearing sixteen hairpins on her head, and the red color that hung down made her face look more radiant than snow.
"The concubine has seen Her Majesty." Yi Guifei said sweetly
"Get up, my sister looks good today." The queen said lightly
Concubine Yi didn't care, and saluted, "Thank you for the queen's compliment." ”
"Sit down."
"The son has seen his father and the queen." King Jin saluted
"Get up." The emperor said lightly, treating his son, who has become more and more excellent in the past few months, the emperor is relieved and worried, and he feels more and more old recently.
King Jin glanced at Pang Luoxue and saw that she was standing beside the queen with a well-behaved face, and she no longer had the aggressive momentum just now.
"Niangniang, I don't know what about my sister-in-law and sister-in-law?" Pang Luoxue didn't see anyone coming.
King Jin said, "The eldest lady is a little uncomfortable, the third lady accompanied her to get the medicine, and the second lady will see it in a while." ”
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Jin, for telling me." Pang Luoxue sneered in her heart, I am afraid that Pang Luoyu will suffer a loss, this time Pang Luobing is going to taste it.
Sure enough
In the garden outside Concubine Yigui's palace, Pang Luoyu looked at his face with a bronze mirror, which was red and swollen, so he had to apply the ointment sent by Pang Luoxue to his face, and he didn't know how long the effect would take, so he found a reason to leave Pang Luobing behind.
Pang Luobing was full of joy, not only was he praised by Concubine Yi today, but he was really happy to see Pang Luoyu being beaten today. I couldn't help but have a smile on my face.
"You're happy." Pang Luoyu said coldly
Pang Luobing was alert, "No, Bing'er doesn't dare." ”
"Don't dare? I'm very happy to see you watching me being punished, or do you think it's more appropriate for you to be the princess of Jin? Pang Luoyu looked at Pang Luobing and couldn't wait to paint her face, compared with her red and swollen face, Pang Luobing's little face looked more pitiful, which made her not irritable. Syllable! Pang Luoyu slapped him, and five finger prints instantly floated on Pang Luobing's face.
"You!" Pang Luobing covered her face and looked at Pang Luoyu in disbelief, she didn't expect that she would dare to treat herself like this in the palace, was she really careless?
"What are you? I think I wronged you by beating you, don't think that everything will be fine if you get the love of Concubine Yi, you know, I am the future daughter-in-law of Concubine Niangniang, you better not beat the idea of King Jin, otherwise I will not let you go, and I will reward you with this slap today. But feel wronged? ”
"No, what the eldest sister taught me is that Bing'er has nothing to be dissatisfied with." Pang Luobing covered his cheeks and said unwillingly
"Humph! So it's the best, sue you, you don't have the protection of the third aunt now, if I want you to die, there are many ways, you'd better be obedient. I can still leave you a way to live. As he spoke, he looked at Pang Luobing with fierce eyes.
"Yes, Bing'er doesn't dare to think anything wrong." Pang Luobing said unwillingly
Pang Luoyu looked at Pang Luobing, who looked aggrieved, and felt better at this time, seeing that his face was red and swollen a lot, and he only had a plain hairpin in his hair, how could he overwhelm Qunfang, this Yi Guifei actually humiliated her so much, how could she be willing.
Pang Luoyu looked at Pang Luobing and said, "Let's go too, I feel much better now." ”
"Yes, big sister." Pang Luobing followed behind Pang Luoyu aggrievedly, his little eyes full of calculations.
At the banquet
Concubine Li and a pair of children have already arrived, and the eighth princess is lively and active, and she has already nested in the emperor's arms and is coquettish, but the eighth prince is obediently sitting next to Concubine Yi.
The emperor looked at Concubine Li's flower-like face, and his heart was happy, "Why is Concubine Ai late today?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's not this little girl, you have to wear the clothes you like to finish, it's really a headache for the concubine." Concubine Li stroked her forehead and said
The emperor looked at the little daughter in his arms, dressed cutely, pinched her cheek and said, "Mingyue, you are arguing with your mother again, so unbehaved." Said with a gloomy face to the eighth princess
The queen has always liked the eighth princess, and excused herself, "The eighth didn't mean it, but he dressed up deliberately to see His Majesty." ”
The eighth princess smiled sweetly and said, "The queen mother loves me the most, where is it like my father, I will only scold others." As he spoke, he twisted the candy from the emperor and ran into the queen's arms.
Concubine Li frowned and said, "Mingyue, be careful, the queen is pregnant." ”
The queen touched Mingyue's hair and said, "Sister, don't worry, I really like Mingyue's temperament." He turned his head to look at Mingyue and said, "This is the righteous daughter of the queen mother, the lord of the snow county, Mingyue has to get along with her sister well." ”
Pang Luoxue saluted and said, "I've seen the princess." ”
The eighth princess looked at Pang Luoxue with wide eyes, and replied, "I've seen Sister Xue'er." ”
Pang Luoxue listened to her soft voice and gave her a sweet smile.
In an instant, the eighth princess had a good impression of Pang Luoxue.
"Your Majesty, the time is almost up, and the envoys of the four countries have arrived." The prince beside him said
"Well, let's get started."
The prince stepped forward and said, "The banquet begins, and the envoys of the four countries will meet you!" ”
The people outside the main hall walked in one after another, and the first to come was naturally the ministers of the country and the ladies who were dressed up in flowers, and Prince Rong led everyone to salute and do the designated position.
As a country comparable to the national strength of the Eastern Qin, there are a lot of people in Beiyan who came this time, the eldest prince and the second prince are here, and the four major families are missing the Cang family, but there is one more family, I am afraid that it is the family of the favorite concubine that Cangyi said.
"The envoy of the Northern Yan has arrived"
"The demeanor of the Eastern Qin Emperor is still the same"
"It turned out to be the head of the Mo family, we haven't seen each other for many years, so we have to stay a few more days this time."
"This is natural, my country's eldest prince and two princes are here, so naturally he should stay longer" The head of the Mo family is only fifty years old, and he is more comfortable after the loss of the Cang family.
Behind the head of the Mo family stood two girls with veils, one white and the other green.
"Yuyan of the Northern Yan Dynasty pays a visit to the Emperor of Eastern Qin," the woman in white said
"Northern Yan historian Ruoying greets the Emperor of Eastern Qin," the woman in purple also saluted.
Emperor Dongqin glanced at the two daughters and knew that these two people were from the other two families, and although they were daughters, they both came on behalf of the head of the family. Hurriedly said: "The two young ladies are coming from afar, hurry up and take a seat."
Pang Luoxue sat beside the queen, looking at the prince of Beiyan opposite, sure enough, the blood is really wonderful, the little fourth son and these two people are somewhat similar, especially those eyes, but the little guy is more innocent. (To be continued)
