Chapter 256: State Banquet Turmoil
On the evening of June 30, the second state banquet of the Wei Imperial Palace this year, civil and military officials and their families were invited.
Everyone knows that this state banquet not only welcomes Princess Wu Guoluodai who came from afar, but also prays for the smooth progress of the triennial imperial examination.
The sunset has not yet taken back all the afterglow, and most of the guests have already arrived.
As soon as the bell rang, all the guests, including Qi Luodai, were seated, and the emperor and empress on the high seat said a few words of celebration, and the shrill voice of the eunuch announced the official start of the state banquet.
The three kingdoms of the Central Plains are respected on the left and right, but the left is even more respected.
Emperor Wei arranged the seats of Qi Luodai and Shaohua on the left side closest to the royal family sitting high, which shows his respect for them and the sincerity of marriage and peace.
And the position on the right side of the high seat, in order of long, sits the princes, princes and princesses of the Wei Kingdom.
On the periphery of the left and right sides, according to the official rank, there are hundreds of civil and military officials and their relatives.
Xing Ruoyou sat beside Pu Yangche with a black gauze hat with his eyes down, there was no joy or anger on his face, and there was a knot in his heart that had not been opened.
Just when they got off the carriage in front of the palace gate, they happened to meet Pu Yangyu from the other side.
Pu Yangyu also found the two of them after getting out of the carriage, although he didn't turn around and left, but he just hastily called Pu Yangche "third brother", and hurried into the palace.
He didn't call her "third sister-in-law", and he didn't even look at her from beginning to end, which made Xing Ruoyou very uncomfortable.
It's been so many days, and Pu Yangyu's anger has obviously not disappeared.
Or is it that he didn't mean to care about her at all, just because she had deceived him, is this really going to break off his friendship with her?!
Although she initially deliberately concealed it, she was worried that revealing her identity would lead to murder.
Later, she knew that Pu Yangyu had always been on Pu Yangche's side, and she had a good opportunity to tell him things, but she was always interrupted by some tricky things and couldn't find the right time.
This came and went, I didn't expect the situation to evolve like this!
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, where did he have the desire to watch dance and listen to music, so he could only put two chopsticks and food into his mouth from time to time.
Xing Ruoyou was in a bad mood, and Pu Yangche had been in a state of low pressure.
Pu Yangyu's attitude naturally made Pu Yangche's heart congested, and he was even more annoyed that Pu Yangyu hadn't opened his mouth to call for the punishment of Ruoyou's "Three Emperor Sisters-in-law"!
Pu Yangyu confessed to Xing Ruoyou that day, and also intended to kiss her, and Pu Yangche saw it all clearly.
Now Pu Yangyu is like this, not so much that he has not let go of the mustard, but that he has not paid attention to the mind of Xing Ruoyou.
If he is someone else, Puyang Cheda can put the other party to death.
But Pu Yangyu is his own brother, he has protected him since he was a child, and he can't calculate against him.
But if the punishment is long, Pu Yangche will never give in!
Pu Yangyu was only separated from the two of them by Pu Yang Kun, he really didn't sort out his thoughts, and he didn't know what kind of mentality to face Pu Yang Che and Xing Ruoyou.
At the banquet, for the first time, I felt like sitting on a pincushion.
He tried his best to control himself from looking at them, but the corner of his eye could always take in Xing Ruoyou's every move, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
After so many days, Pu Yangyu still hasn't figured out how Ruoyou suddenly became his third sister-in-law.
A man who is just starting to fall in love has an extremely special feeling for the first woman who is tempted, and it is hard to forget.
And Pu Yang Yu is still a temper to the extreme, even if he knows that Xing Ruoyou is Pu Yang Che's princess, he will still think about her uncontrollably.
And the more you control yourself, the more you don't think about it, the more you think about it.
Because of this, Pu Yangyu was annoyed and felt ashamed of Pu Yangche, so he hid from him.
Although Su Qin is not an official in the court, Su's father and his eldest brother have not low official positions in the court, so Su Qin naturally came to the banquet with them today.
Pu Yangkun originally had all his thoughts on Su Qin, but he always felt that the atmosphere on the left and right was so depressed that it was incompatible with the fiery atmosphere of the state banquet, and he couldn't help but look at Pu Yangche, and then at Pu Yangyu, those eagle eyes flashed slightly for a while, and it was rare to take the initiative to talk to Pu Yangyu: "How can the sixth emperor brother be sad?" It can't be because you want to be a colt because of worries, right? ”
This guy really can't open which pot to mention, Pu Yangyu's face turned black.
Xing Ruoyou heard it on the other end, and his face collapsed.
Puyang Kun didn't notice that someone was staring at him, and was about to continue asking, when the noisy stage suddenly quieted down, just because Qi Luodai only saw that these songs and dances were too boring, and he wanted to exchange piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing skills with the nobles and princesses of Wei.
To put it nicely, it is "communication", and a discerning person is going to compete at a glance.
The princess of Wu dared to make such a request alone, and if Emperor Wei did not agree to her, Wei would have no face.
can agree, and there is a suspicion of bullying the widow with the public, so the surroundings will suddenly become quiet.
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly smiled and said: "I have heard that Princess Luo Dai not only has the best appearance in Wu Kingdom, but also has unparalleled skills in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing. ”
"The Queen's National Award, no matter how good Luo Dai is, it is not as good as the Queen." Qi Luodai said so, but the pride and arrogance in her eyes were undisguised, "When Luo Dai was in Wu State, I heard that the beauties of Wei were like clouds, and now I see all the noble girls, which is really worthy of the name." But this beauty is beautiful, I don't know if there is real talent in it. ”
"I don't know what true talent is in the eyes of Princess Luo Dai?" Concubine Xiao took the conversation, and her peach blossom eyes smiled as movingly as a moth eyebrow.
Qi Luodai really saw Concubine Xiao's face clearly, and she was stunned.
She always thought that her mother was the most beautiful woman around Emperor Wu, and she was also the most beautiful woman in the harem of the Three Kingdoms.
But now that I see Concubine Xiao, I know what it means to have someone outside the world.
She even felt that Concubine Xiao's beauty was no less than her own, and she was faintly jealous.
But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Concubine Xiao is now married to a wife, and she is a generation older than herself, and her mood is much better, and she continued: "Concubine Xiao, Luo Dai thinks that a woman's true talent and learning are poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing skills. Although Luo Dai is not talented, she has also learned these. I want to take advantage of this marriage in Wei to see the world and communicate with the sisters. Could it be that Wei Guo really began to pay attention only to medicine, and women don't even know these anymore? ”
In a word, there was a slight commotion around.
Xing Ruoming couldn't help but leaned into Liu Xiqing's ear and whispered: "Sister Liu, this Princess Luo Dai is too arrogant, she really wants to overpower everyone present with the power of one person, can't she?" ”
Wang Yuxuan on the other side was busy responding: "That's it!" Bite off more than one can chew! ”
