Chapter 398: Banquet Performance
"You're really good at boasting." Xuanyuan Hao smiled and nodded the tip of Murong Xuanji's nose and said dotingly.
"Baoqing Baoyue, you go down first." After Murong Xuanji sent the maid down, he took Xuanyuan Hao's hand and sat down, and said with a somewhat stern expression: "Just now, the general's palace sent someone to pass the word, and my father asked me to go back." ”
"Do you know what's going on?" Xuanyuan Hao thought for a moment and asked.
Murong Xuanji shook his head and said, "The person who passed the message is fine, but what do you think is the matter with my father looking for me?" ”
"Recently, the whole country has been most concerned about the arrival of envoys from various countries, and I think that the general king is looking for you 89 times out of 10 to discuss the issue of envoys from various countries. Go back when you have time. Xuanyuan Hao said with a light smile.
"What you said is the same as I thought, there must be some purpose for the envoys of various countries to suddenly visit the Northern Netherworld. There was a Eight Princes from the Xiqi Kingdom, and a county lord from the Nanxiao Kingdom came from the Fallen Country, which made people have to doubt the purpose of these people. Compared with Xuanyuan Hao's calm and calm, Murong Xuanji was much more cautious.
"When are you going to go? Do you want us to ride again next time? Xuanyuan Hao asked tentatively.
"No, we said we were going to ride a horse, and I also changed into a riding costume, how can I say that I will go back on my back. Since Dad didn't say anything, I don't think the matter should be urgent, so we went horseback riding in the afternoon as planned. Murong Xuanji said insistently.
Xuanyuan Hao just nodded dotingly, as long as Murong Xuanji liked it, Xuanyuan Hao would agree to her.
Originally, Murong Xuanji planned to go back to the general's palace the next day to see what the general's king was looking for, but that evening Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao came back from the suburbs on horseback, and a holy decree came from the palace, allowing the two to enter the palace immediately.
"Husband, why did you say that my father suddenly held a banquet to entertain envoys from various countries?" Murong Xuanji asked him while serving Xuanyuan Hao, seeing his heavy expression and heavy heart made Murong Xuanji a little worried, "If you don't want to participate, I can find a reason-"
Before Murong Xuanji's words were finished, he was stopped by Xuanyuan Hao. Xuanyuan Hao pressed his hands on Murong Xuanji's shoulders and said with great solemnity: "No need, I must attend this banquet." ”
"What are you worried about?" Murong Xuanji asked worriedly. Although the emperor set up a banquet to entertain envoys from various countries, there must be a lot of people attending in the evening, with the emperor's attitude towards Xuanyuan Hao's cold in the past, he is completely dispensable, Murong Xuanji would rather stay at home with Xuanyuan Hao to read books and chat, and he didn't want him to be in any danger.
"Since my father called us to attend, there must be his reasons, although my father doesn't pay attention to me, but my father has to consider that my Nine Emperor Concubine is not an ordinary person, she is the daughter of our famous general king in the Northern Underworld." Xuanyuan Hao said with a smile.
Although Xuanyuan Hao's expression was relaxed, Murong Xuanji knew that his heart must be very heavy.
"Since my husband wants to attend that banquet, then I will accompany him to the end." Murong Xuanji said intimately. Seriously helped Xuanyuan Hao sort out his clothes up and down, and then looked at him with a satisfied look, "My husband is really a beautiful man, I don't know how many daughters I will amaze tonight." ”
"The lady is really good at talking, everyone knows that I know that there is a very fierce and vicious Nine Emperor Concubine in the mansion of the Nine Emperor Princes, just ask which daughter dares to stay in my Nine Emperor Prince's Mansion without knowing whether she is alive or dead." Xuanyuan Hao gently pinched Murong Xuanji's chin and teased.
"You're my man, so I won't let other women get close." In order to match Xuanyuan Hao's own image, Murong Xuanji deliberately said in a domineering manner, but he invited Xuanyuan Hao to give himself a domineering long kiss.
"Let's go, my lady, don't keep everyone waiting." After a long time, Xuanyuan Hao reluctantly let go of Murong Xuanji, rubbing Murong Xuanji's somewhat red and swollen lips with his somewhat rough fingertips, and his eyes were full of raging fire, as if to make Murong Xuanji burn.
"Don't look at it." Murong Xuanji was about to burn when Xuanyuan Hao's gaze saw it, and shyly covered Xuanyuan Hao's eyes with his hands, but he quickly pulled his hand away, Murong Xuanji really couldn't stay in the house anymore, and ran out of the house first. Xuanyuan Hao just smiled dotingly, and left the house with him.
Murong Xuanji followed Xuanyuan Hao into the palace and came to the place where the emperor held a banquet, and many courtiers had already come, and they were all greeting each other. Murong Xuanji saw the general Wang Murong He talking to others from a distance. Murong Xuanji pulled Xuanyuan Hao's sleeve and glanced at him.
Under Murong Xuanji's reminder, Xuanyuan Hao looked towards Murong He, and it happened that Murong He also looked here, Xuanyuan Hao politely bowed his head to Murong He slightly to say hello, and saw Murong He's gaze wandering over Murong Xuanji, as if he had something to say to her, so he whispered in Murong Xuanji's ear, "Go over and say hello to your father." ”
Of course, Murong Xuanji heard that Xuanyuan Hao's greeting was not just a greeting, he nodded understandingly, nodded with a smile under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, and said, "You wait for me here for a while, I'll come over and say a few words to my father." ”
The few people who were originally talking to Murong He also saw Murong Xuanji walking here, so they found a reason to leave.
"Daddy!" Murong Xuanji's legs bent slightly, and he asked Murong He for peace.
"The Nine Emperor Princesses must not, you are now the Imperial Princess, how can the old minister receive such a great gift." Murong He sincerely helped Murong Xuanji up, but there was no trace of uneasiness in his eyes, and he passed a look to Murong Xuanji.
Murong Xuanji naturally found that although the people around him were chatting, they also had many pairs of ears and eyes staring at him, and said calmly: "Today's emperor rules the world with filial piety, and it is also appropriate for a daughter to ask her father for peace." ”
"You are very pleased to have this filial father, come, sit with your father for a while, my father hasn't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?" Murong He said comfortingly.
"My daughter is very good, the Nine Emperors are very good to my daughter, and my father doesn't have to worry about my daughter." Murong Xuanji helped Murong He sit down, poured a cup of tea for Murong He, and asked Murong He in a low voice when everyone was unprepared: "Does Dad have anything to say?" ”
"You're doing well, that's good, that's good." Murong He smiled and picked up the cup and pretended to drink water, but reminded Murong Xuanji in a low voice, "I heard that the identity of the county lord of this Nanxiao Kingdom is very mysterious, you and the Nine Emperor Princes must pay more attention and be careful, and the Eighth Prince of the Western Qi Kingdom, I accidentally saw the envoy of the Nanxiao Kingdom and the Eighth Prince of the Western Qi Kingdom secretly contacting." ”
Murong He wanted to say more, but the timing was really wrong, as the general king of the Northern Underworld, he was a rare prince with a different surname in the Northern Underworld, which had already aroused the dissatisfaction of some people, and his daughter was the princess of the Nine Emperors of the Northern Underworld, so he was worried that the few words of conversation between himself and Murong Xuanji today would be taken advantage of.
"Dad, your daughter is not by your side to serve you, you must take good care of your health, your daughter is going to find the Nine Emperor Princes." The clever Murong Xuanji got up and made a polite change to find Xuanyuan Hao.
"Have you said hello to the Great General King? Is the general king okay? Xuanyuan Hao asked meaningfully.
"Dad is in good health, and the Nine Emperors Xie cares." Murong Xuanji pretended to be a little sentimental and approached Xuanyuan Hao's arms, in the eyes of outsiders, the two looked like husband and wife were in love, and they looked harmonious, and they didn't notice that Murong Xuanji was whispering in Xuanyuan Hao's arms, "Dad said that the county lord of Nanxiao Kingdom was suspicious, and he also saw the envoy of Nanxiao Kingdom and the attendant of the eighth prince of Xiqi Kingdom secretly contacting, let us be careful." ”
Xuanyuan Hao hugged Murong Xuanji's back and patted it gently, seemingly comforting Murong Xuanji, who was a little depressed, but in fact he was telling her that he knew.
"The emperor has arrived!" With a voice, the originally lively banquet scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone immediately returned to their seats and respectfully greeted the emperor.
"Sit down, I will hold a banquet to entertain the envoys of various countries today, and there is no need to be formal." The emperor said with a smile, but his eyes showed a hint of sharpness and quickly scanned the audience, "Sit down." ”
Everyone sat down after seeing the emperor sit down, and soon a palace maid filled the wine glasses on the table in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, in order to welcome the envoys of various countries, the concubines have ordered people to prepare a song and dance." The queen said with a smile.
"The queen has a heart, so I want to enjoy the song and dance prepared by the queen." The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said.
The audience was enjoying the singing and dancing, eating and chatting, a harmonious scene.
"Good, good, good, reward." After the end of the song and dance, the emperor happily clapped his hands and appreciated, which can be regarded as giving the queen some face.
"Emperor Xie, long live the emperor, long live long live!" The performers kneel on the stage and kowtow in thanksgiving.
"When Wei Chen was in the Southern Xiao Kingdom, I heard that the Northern Underworld is full of talents, women can sing and dance, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to witness it tonight?" The envoy of the Nanxiao Kingdom suddenly stood up from his seat and asked respectfully.
The emperor of the Northern Netherworld was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I will not let you down." Someone came, spread my word, which prince's daughter performed on stage tonight, and I was rewarded. ”
The emperor's will has just fallen, the princes and ministers in the audience can't sit still, this is an opportunity to show in front of the emperor, every prince and minister wants their families to show their talents, get everyone's attention, including the emperor, for a while everyone whispered to the attendants around them immediately notify their daughters to come to the palace to perform.
Round after round of talents were presented in an endless stream, but there was no eye-catching performance, the emperor's face sitting on the dragon chair gradually became a little bad, and the princes and ministers who were originally happy to participate in the banquet were also in a mood at this time, but the two of them continued to drink wine, eat food, and enjoy the performance as if they had nothing to do with themselves.
"Father seems to be unhappy." Murong Xuanji whispered to Xuanyuan Hao, not only did he not have a trace of worry on his face, but he gloated a little, "Aren't you going to go out to solve the siege?" ”
"Could it be that my lady thinks of any good way to turn the situation around, or is my lady going to perform on stage herself." Xuanyuan Hao smiled and teased Murong Xuanji. "If I'm not mistaken, I remember that my lady once performed a dance in the Western Qi Kingdom, called, Amazing Dance, right? You moved the capital with the name of that dance, and was regarded as a talented girl by the queen mother of the Western Qi Kingdom, and then many people imitated that amazing dance, but you can no longer dance your style and amazement at that time. Do you want to recreate that amazing dance today? ”R638
