As soon as the words fell, I heard the applause of 'Papapa', and a person walked in front of everyone.

The corners of Ning Mingchen's charming mouth are raised, very handsome, wearing a navy blue python robe with a jade belt, which sets off the whole person very handsomely, but the pale color on his face can't be hidden.

He clapped his palms, slowly paced in front of Emperor Jiaxuan and Tu Guifei, and bowed neatly: "Erchen meets his father and mother!" ”

Emperor Jiaxuan smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Flatten, Chen'er." ”

Seeing Ning Mingchen, Tu Guifei asked in surprise: "Chen'er, didn't you say that you won't attend the banquet when you're sick?" I also sent a lot of supplements. Why did you show up again today? Are you feeling better now? ”

Emperor Jiaxuan also looked at Ning Mingchen suspiciously.

And Fang Cai was still arrogant and domineering, and Xia Xueqing, the invincible lord of Yining, seemed to be a different person at this time. She looked at Ning Mingchen with a pretty face, her eyes were so gentle that she could drip water.

Ning Mingchen smiled and said, "Today is a big day to entertain the envoys, and Erchen is the commander of this battle, if I don't attend, it will seem that I Ning Xuanguo doesn't pay enough attention to it, and it's ......" Ning Mingchen's tone paused, and his eyes swept over Ruan Ge intentionally or unintentionally.

The eyes were mysterious and unpredictable, inadvertently, but they were scorching, which made Ruan Ge involuntarily a little timid, and she lowered her head.

And none of these escaped Ning Mingyu's eyes, and he frowned slightly.

Ruan Ge originally felt sorry for what happened at the top of Xishan that day, but what Ning Mingchen said to her, his tone and demeanor, she recalled it later, and she remembered it clearly.

But at that time, I was uncontrollably in such an unexpected state, although I almost fell off the cliff. In fact, Ning Mingchen's confession to her was interrupted, and what was even more excessive was that Zuihou and Ning Mingyu flew away on Yunluan, leaving him standing alone in place, the stiff, painful and shocked expression on his face is still remembered by Ruan Ge.

"And what?" Tu Guifei asked.

"And today I have a very important matter to announce to my father, the emperor, the concubine, and the ministers!" Ning Mingchen smiled and said word by word.

The ministers were deeply puzzled and whispered. Tu Guifei looked very surprised, while Xia Xueqing's face was cloudy.

Ruan Ge always felt that something was wrong here, Ning Mingchen was acting very strangely today, and she intuitively felt that what Ning Mingchen was going to say was related to herself.

Ning Mingyu suddenly spoke: "Father, presumably the envoy is also about to arrive, let's go into the palace, such a group of people are gathered together, outsiders don't know what to think when they see it." ”

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Jiaxuan nodded again and again and said, "Yu'er is right, the Qing family will enter the palace with me!" ”

Everyone also relieved their taste, and today's focus is on the banquet of the envoys.

The emperor and the courtiers all entered the main hall, but Ronghua deliberately lagged behind, approached Ruan Ge, and whispered in her ear: "Look at how you look so restless today, I think it shouldn't be because of Xia Xueqing's straw bag, isn't it related to these two princes?" After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Ruan Ge.

Ruan Ge was already unsettled, and after listening to Ronghua's words, he was even more weak-hearted, and he didn't know how to answer.

Then he said in a low voice: "I knew that if I encountered so much trouble today, I should have hid in the courtyard and walked with Sakura, which is better than this." ”

Ronghua was amused when he heard it.

The two of them were talking and walking inside, but Lu Wan, who was following Ruan Ge, suddenly shouted, "Miss Ruan, your skirt is ...... What is it? ”

Ruan Ge subconsciously looked down, only to see that the skirt of the robe made of snow silkworm satin as white as snow had a few dazzling bits of scarlet on his body, and he only cared about thinking about it, and he didn't notice it at all.

Rong Hua was taken aback, and hurriedly checked Ruan Ge's body, up and down, left and right, carefully, but found no injuries.

Ruan Ge sighed and said: "Ronghua, I'm not injured, this is not blood, it must be Xia Xueqing who poured that girl's plum tea, because I was next to her, and I may have accidentally splashed it." ”

Lu Wan shook her head regretfully and said, "It's a pity that this is sewn by Shanghaode snow silkworm satin, and how can it be seen in the palace this time?" ”

Ruan Ge shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's no way, it's too late to go back and change it now." Anyway, we women can't sit in the front, and no one will see us if we hide in the back. It's okay, let's go, let's go into the main hall. Saying that, Ruan Ge pulled Lu Wan and was about to walk forward.

Lu Wan grabbed Ruan Ge in surprise: "How can it be okay?" Don't you know? We, the ladies and dependents, are invited, especially on such diplomatic occasions, to perform their talents in the palace, mainly to show the versatility of our subjects, and to be selected and kissed very specially. ”

"What? And pro? Ruan Ge's big black eyes widened like grapes, and he was extremely surprised.

"Don't worry, although this time it's for the purpose of making friends, it has nothing to do with us." Lu Wan said with a smile.

"Who does that have to do with that?" Ruan Ge rolled his eyes and continued: "Could it be that the folk legend that King Duan and the eldest prince of Fengli are mainly in harmony is true?" ”

Lu Wan covered her mouth and made a small expression, then nodded lightly.

After Ruan Ge heard this, his mood suddenly became better than ever, as if he had finally let go of a big stone in his heart and was completely relaxed. The dull feeling was swept away, and she was in a happy mood and immediately came to her senses, and happily pulled Lu Wan and said: "As long as it has nothing to do with us, I'm in a super good mood now, Sister Lu Wan, let's go, we have to sit next to each other, we must taste the food of this palace today, and finally let me get the opportunity!" ”

After speaking, he pulled Lu Wan through the crowd, wanting to occupy a good place.

Rong Hua, who was left behind, looked at Ruan Ge's happy figure next to him, and he finally realized the feeling of being ignored in the legend.

In addition to the emperor and concubine in the upper hall, the seat layout of the courtiers and ladies in the lower hall is a semicircle facing the upper hall, next to the lower hall on the left is King Yi Ning Mingyu, and on the right is Duan Wang Ning Mingchen.

Ning Ming's head is Ronghua, followed by Lu Xionglu, the general of the town hall; The vacant position under King Duan is reserved for the envoy Wu Kun, and Wu Kun is headed by Xia Tianfeng, and then it is lined up in turn. Of course, those who can attend the banquet are either the important ministers of the court, or the most favored.

The ladies are arranged on the periphery of the ministers of the lower hall, and the position facing the emperor and the concubine in the middle is considered to be the main position. Therefore, in addition to the two princesses of the dynasty, there is Xia Xueqing, the goddaughter of Tu Guifei. The other locations are nothing special, so you can choose at will.

Ruan Ge chose the most inconspicuous position to sit next to the side, and Lu Wan was originally a person who didn't like to join in the fun, so the two hit it off and sat next to each other.

Just as everyone in the hall had just sat down, they heard the news from the attendants outside the hall: "Lord Wu Kunwu, the special envoy of the Fengli State, has arrived!" ”

Not long after the words fell, I saw Wu Kun striding up to the hall in Feng Liguo's court clothes. When he came to the front of the hall, he bowed down in his robe, and said loudly: "Wu Kun, the envoy of the feudal subordinate, visited Emperor Ning Xuanguo Bixia, Guifei Niangniang, Emperor Bixia Long live Long live, Long live Long live the noble concubine Niangniang thousand years old and thousands of years old!" ”

got up again, leaned down to meet King Yi and King Duan respectively, and the two kings also got up and returned the salute.

Emperor Jiaxuan was very happy, Wu Kun did a big gift, and the envoys of one country did not have to bow down to the emperors of other countries, which shows that Wu Kun's move gave Emperor Jiaxuan enough face.

Emperor Jiaxuan said with a smile: "The envoy has been tired all the way, and today I will lead hundreds of civil and military officials to take the wind and wash the dust for the envoy, and welcome to my Ning Xuanguo." ”

Wu Kun leaned over and said respectfully: "It is really an honor for Wu to be gracious to Emperor Bixia. Wu was very frightened! ”

Emperor Jiaxuan smiled and said, "The envoy doesn't have to be restrained, take a seat." ”

Wu Kun was then seated under the guidance of the chamberlain.

The protagonists were all present, and Ruan Gexin said that the banquet should always begin.

Sure enough, not long after they were all seated, and after everyone had exchanged pleasantries, the maids began to serve dishes one after another.

After a while, the small table in front of Ruan Ge was already full of delicacies. At this time, Ruan Ge was in a good mood and had a great appetite, and when he saw so many delicacies, of course he would not treat his stomach badly.

So when Ning Mingyu's eyes swept around, and only then did she find Ruan Ge in the corner, she was feasting as if no one was around. Ning Mingyu was full of black lines while smiling and shaking his head helplessly, and Rong Hua, who was under his head, saw that he was looking at a certain place and his gaze did not move, so he followed his gaze, and he also saw Ruan Ge struggling with a chicken leg.

Ronghua was very calm, presumably he was accustomed to Ruan Ge's various outrageous behaviors, so he stared at Ruan Ge and only said, "That snow silkworm satin really shouldn't be worn by her!" ”

And Ruan Ge's seat was closer to Ning Mingchen, so he could see all this more clearly. He called a waiter beside him, and after a few words in his ear, the waiter brought a plate of 'steamed chicken with jade potatoes' on Ning Mingchen's table to Ruan Ge's approach.

After Ruan Ge saw it, he thought it was another dish, but who knew that the waiter pointed in the direction of Ning Mingchen. Ruan Ge looked up and saw Ning Mingchen smiling at him.

Ahem, Ruan Ge was frightened too much, and the chicken in his mouth was pinched in his throat. She coughed desperately, and Lu Wan on the side hurriedly stroked her back. attracted the ladies next to them to look at Ruan Ge, and pointed and whispered. Some said: "At first glance, I am from the countryside, I have never seen the world, and I have never eaten good things." Someone else said, "Isn't it?" It's really a shame for me Ning Xuanguo, why did the emperor invite such a leopard? It's really unlucky. ”

Xia Xueqing also paid attention to Ruan Ge's actions, and when she saw that she was choked, she said fiercely on the corner of her mouth: "Why didn't you choke her to death." ”

And the scene of Ning Mingchen letting people serve their dishes to Ruan Ge did not escape the eyes of others.

This includes Ning Mingyu and Tu Guifei.

Ning Mingyu's face sank, and the actions of this third brother really surprised him.

And Tu Guifei was disdainful, staring at Ruan Ge's eyes full of doubts, she didn't quite understand what her son's actions meant, although this woman was beautiful, but she had no image and etiquette, according to her son's previous temperament, it was impossible to pay attention to her, but what to explain her behavior just now?
