Chapter 243: Palace Banquet
Three days later, the gate of the palace was very lively, two teams of eunuchs, two teams of palace maids, and a team of chief grandmothers, all standing at the door to greet the envoys of the three countries, as well as the participants of their own countries.
The missions of the three countries were sent by the household department to meet them, and the personnel of their own countries came from the palace on their own, and for a time, the gate of the palace was full of traffic and horses, and the flow of people and cars was continuous.
Because this is a women's competition, this time, every woman is dressed up in a new way, and the competition is dazzling.
"Sister Rong!" With a coquettish cry, a shadow like a flower butterfly floated in front of Rong Xi.
Rong Xi turned around and watched the elated Hao Lianbeier jump in front of her, Hao Lianbeier was wearing a bright yellow shirt, with those small pigtails on her head, and the little boots on her feet were also replaced with bright yellow, with black embroidery on them, inlaid with blue gems.
A small face was full of smiles, with a few drops of sweat on the tip of his nose, his cheeks were as rosy as flowers, his eyes were as bright as diamonds, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
"Sister Rong, I urged my seventh brother to go out early in the morning, he was still grinding, I was dying, I wanted to see you as much as possible." Hao Lianbeier is like a little yellow warbler, chattering happily.
"Sister Rong, you are so beautiful today......" Hao Lianbei'er's eyes looked Rong Xi up and down, her eyes full of amazement and praise.
Today, Rong Xi is indeed carefully dressed, she is wearing a bright red peony brocade robe, a water-red large swing hibiscus skirt, the skirt is embroidered with branches of hibiscus, the skirt moves lightly, layer by layer fluttering like water waves, and the flowers on the skirt are also like gorgeous blooms.
Her hair is no longer just a random pull, but carefully combed in a bun, with two gold tassels and rubies on her head, the gold silk is shining, and the ruby is shining, reflecting her face more and more like a flower, and her complexion is whiter than snow.
The small earlobes are shaped like no treasures, wearing a pair of ruby earrings, similar to the hair ornament on the head, complementing each other, and the necklace of the same style, gently hanging on the neck of the beautiful swan, the whole body is extravagant, there is an oppressive beauty coming to the face, people can't bear to take their eyes off.
As soon as Rong Xi was about to speak, a vermilion shadow slowly walked over, Hao Lian Zize was still wearing a vermilion robe, but the style was a little different, and there were dark lines faintly embroidered in it, the sun shone on, the red light flashed, like a fire, attracting the attention of many women.
And in Hao Lian Zize's eyes, there is only Rong Xi alone.
He knew that Rong Xi was beautiful, but she usually appeared in front of him in elegant clothes, and it was the first time that she was so rich and rich, and he didn't expect that she would be so beautiful and moving.
He always knew that Rong Xi's bearing and elegance were beyond the reach of ordinary women, and any gorgeous clothes and jewelry could be suppressed, but he had never seen it.
Once upon a time, he also thought that if one day, Rong Xi walked by his side, with a phoenix crown and a red dress, completing the moment when a woman was the most delicate and dressed.
However, a qiΔ is nothing more than a pipe dream.
Now, she is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the person standing next to her is not him.
Hao Lian Zize smiled slightly bitterly, "There are many people today, so be careful of your body." β
Rong Xi nodded, "Thank you," as soon as her words fell, Leng Yixiu, who was talking to someone else on the other side of the carriage, strode over, stretched out his arm and wrapped his arms around her shoulder, and said to Hao Lian Zize with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Seventh, thank you for your concern for the princess of this king, the male guests are invited into the door over there, someone has greeted them, and the king has already passed down the word, and he will serve His Royal Highness the Seventh with a good life." β
Rong Xi smiled secretly in his heart, Leng Yixiu, this guy, is he making a declaration? To show that he is the Lord and Hao Lian Zize is a guest? I didn't expect that the god of war who dominates the world would have such a naΓ―ve time.
However, this is also good, although it will make Hao Lian Zize hurt, but it can also let him see clearly, so that he doesn't have to be entangled in this relationship anymore, which is not a good thing.
Therefore, she didn't say anything, nor did she break away from Leng Yixiu, just nodded and smiled.
Hao Lian Zize's heart was stabbed, he nodded helplessly, and arched his hand: "Thank you Lord for your care." With that, he turned and walked towards another door.
Hao Lianbei'er looked at Leng Yixiu, her eyes flickering like diamonds, "His Royal Highness King Ning, can I be with you?" β
"......" Leng Yixiu hadn't recovered from the joy of Rong Xi cooperating with him just now, Leng Buding was asked by Hao Lianbei'er like this, his smile froze on his face, and he replied intuitively: "No!" β
As soon as his words fell, Hao Lianbei'er pouted, Leng Yixiu really had a headache for this little princess, because her thinking logic really couldn't guess, so many people were present today, in case she did anything drastic......
Leng Yixiu cleared his throat and said: "This king is in the men's table, and the palace banquet is separate for men and women, and they will not be together at all." β
As soon as he explained like this, Hao Lianbei'er's expression finally improved a little, and before he could say more, Hao Lianbei'er's face was already sunny again, and he turned his head to Rong Xi and said, "Sister Rong, then I'll be with you." β
"Okay." Rong Xi smiled slightly, for this simple girl, she always couldn't refuse in some small things.
Leng Yixiu's arm around her shoulder tightened slightly, and then let go of her, his gaze was deep, and that was the meaning that only Rong Xi understood.
Be careful.
Catch the wind and wash the dust...... For the couple, it may be a feast. The two of them had already discussed it before they came, this time it was a lively occasion for many people, and it was in the palace, it was not their own territory, the heroes of the world were there, if something happened, they couldn't cover it if they wanted to.
Therefore, one must be careful and careful.
Rong Xi nodded lightly, raised her hand, and gently tied the cloak strap fluttering on the neckline for him, and the black strap gently slid between her fingers, like a black butterfly shaking off its wings.
Leng Yixiu's heart trembled slightly, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes were fixed on the focused Rong Xi, if it weren't for the scruples of so many people present, he really wanted to kiss her fiercely.
Hao Lian Zize inadvertently turned around and saw such a scene.
The woman whose eyebrows have always been heroic and compelling, at this time she is soft and picturesque, she lowers her eyes, her eyelashes blink slightly, and she purses her lips and focuses on tying the straps for the man she loves, Hao Lian Zize suddenly envied the two straps, and it is also a beautiful thing to tie them into a knot in her hands, right?
At this time, the carriage of the four princes also arrived, and the couple got down from the carriage, saw Leng Yixiu and Rong Xi, and hurriedly came over to see the salute, and the fourth princess smiled and said: "Third Emperor Brother, if you can rest assured, hand over the third sister-in-law to me." β
"Okay," Leng Yixiu nodded, "You have to take care of each other and be more careful." β
"Yes." The fourth imperial concubine saw that Leng Yixiu's expression was solemn and there was no meaning to joke, so she nodded solemnly.
The banquet is set up for men and women, the women's seat is set in the Shangyun Palace, the terrain here is open, the grinding stone on the ground is smooth and clean, there are many strange flowers and plants planted around, the breeze blows slowly, the blue color fluctuates, the fragrance slowly floats in, and the mood of people is also refreshed.
In recent days, the weather is fine, the sky is blue like the sea, the white clouds flutter gently, the sky is high and refreshing in autumn, which makes people feel extraordinarily happy at a glance, so the female guests here are very lively, gathered together in twos and threes, and the acquaintances come together there to talk and laugh, and from time to time there are bursts of crisp laughter.
In the open space in front of the hall, there are several pavilions, there are also a few tables, obviously also the setting point of the banquet, the pavilion is elegant and exquisite, and the surroundings are transparent, presumably it is also very pleasant to drink.
Hao Lianbei'er immediately took a fancy to the location in the pavilion, and said to Rong Xi: "Sister Rong, let's go to the pavilion, okay?" β
Rong Xi was also very satisfied with the pavilion, but she didn't know if there was a special person who booked this kind of place, she thought about it and called the palace maid on duty, "Is there a rule on who sits in the seat in that pavilion?" β
"Princess Huining," the little palace maid said respectfully: "No, it's just first-come, first-served, the seats of the ladies are under the corridor outside the hall, and there is no conflict." β
Rong Xi nodded and said, "Okay, this princess knows, you go down and get busy." β
Hao Lianbei'er heard it clearly on the side, and she had already rushed over happily, and kept waving and saying, "Sister Rong, come on, come on!" β
The fourth princess covered her lips behind her and smiled: "This little princess is an innocent and straightforward person. β
Rong Xi also smiled slightly: "Yes, her temperament is likable, and her joys, sorrows and sorrows are written on her face." β
"That's right," the fourth imperial concubine nodded, "I really don't know how many times better than those people with honey-bellied swords, and I have to get closer to this little princess in a while." β
Rong Xi smiled without saying a word, and the two of them slowly walked towards the pavilion.
As soon as I walked to the first step of the pavilion, I heard a clear female voice with a little displeasure and harshness: "What person? Dare to grab the seat of the main palace? This pavilion is so exquisitely built that anyone can come up to it? β
As soon as her words fell, the laughter around her suddenly faded a little, and many people raised their heads and looked this way, their eyes puzzled.
Rong Xi didn't need to look to know who was coming.
The Seven Princesses wore a red gown, and the cuffs and neckline were embroidered with delicate flowers with gold thread, like a fire, as if to burn the others.
This look is also like two fires, Rong Xi looked at her and smiled very lightly, but ...... Seventh Princess, what good will it do you if you do this?
Rong Xi and the four imperial concubines have long been surprised by the behavior of the seventh princess, listening to her sarcastic words, both of them showed a clear look, she is nothing more than a quick tongue, right?
Unexpectedly, a yellow figure flashed over.
