What the old man didn't expect was that this banquet was not an ordinary entry into the palace to reminisce about the past, but a major task. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because border conflicts occur from time to time, the impact on both sides is great, these two days the border minority Xiliang new king wants to form a friendly relationship with the Southern Liang State, specially sent the prince to come to show sincerity, this prince admired Chinese culture since childhood, wanted to marry a Southern Liang woman as a wife, and Nanliang to form the same friendship.

When the emperor told the lord and Mingyue's father the news, the two of them were cold, no wonder there were only two of them today, and there were no other officials.

"Brother-in-law, let worry-free get married, right? I'm Mingyue's daughter, I can't let her marry far away, she's delicate, how can she stand that suffering! Mingyue's father begged in front of the emperor.

Seeing this, the emperor said: "This is not what the general said will marry whoever marries, and the queen will take Wuwu and Mingyue to the garden for a walk in a while, and then the prince will also go, and whoever he likes, he will marry." ”

Li Chengcheng was very bored outside the palace, his father and uncle went to the emperor, and the female dependents went to the queen, as if only he was superfluous, he felt very bored, he didn't go, he didn't stay.

At this moment, he saw several eunuchs walking towards him around a young man dressed in a foreign outfit, Li Qingcheng couldn't help but look at the person, and the person also looked at him for a moment, and then passed.

Li Chengcheng wondered, the place they went to was the Inner Palace Garden, where outsiders were forbidden to enter, but how could this outsider go in that direction!

He was a little uneasy, so he followed. When I arrived at the gate of the inner palace, I saw that the eunuch and the guards guarding the door said a few words before letting them in.

Li Chengcheng walked over and asked the guards what was going on? The guards said that it was allowed by the emperor. Today's feast is held in the inner garden.

Li Chengcheng thought that I was here for the banquet, so he also wanted to go in, but was stopped.

"I said, what's the matter with you? Aren't the guests invited by the emperor today our family and my uncle's family? The outsider just now can enter, why can't I? ”

Li Chengcheng was very angry, he argued with reason, but the guards just didn't let him in, and about half an hour later, when the emperor and two ministers, that is, Chengcheng's father and uncle, appeared, he was able to enter together.

Li Chengcheng was very depressed, and seeing that his father and uncle had gloomy faces, he didn't say anything anymore, so he had to follow behind.

Following the winding path, and through a few more arches, it took to enter the inner garden where the feast was held, and in the gazebo a few tables were set up with a few small pastries on it, and it was still some time before the luncheon.

The emperor motioned for the two ministers to sit down, and when he saw that Li Tingcheng was a little distraught, he beckoned him to sit down as well.

Li Tingcheng looked at the emperor in confusion and told him about an outsider he had just met, the emperor laughed when he heard it, and Li Tingcheng's father pulled his clothes and asked him to sit down.

"That's the prince of Xiliang Kingdom, and this time I'm here to get married." Mingyue's father looked heavy, and his voice was not as high-profile as before, what he was most worried about now was that the prince who was outside the fan, don't take a fancy to his daughter, he and his wife are old, and they still expect their daughter to support their old age. He looked at Allure, and he also had some resentment in his heart, he and his wife wanted to kiss each other, but how could he have thought that this kid would not look down on his daughter, if the two families married, would he still be worried now?

What a smart person Li Chengcheng was, he understood as soon as he heard it, why the queen suddenly invited the two of them to a banquet, and specially explained that she wanted to bring Wuwu and Mingyue, it seemed that there was a purpose.

"The marriage between the two countries is a good thing, it will help the peace of the border passes, maybe my princess can leave a historical story like Princess Wencheng!" Li Tingcheng said tentatively.

The emperor just smiled, but didn't say anything, Li Tingcheng's father gave his son a look, and hurriedly turned the words around and said: "You are not a minister of the DPRK and the central government, how can you discuss state affairs indiscriminately?" Then he explained to the emperor with a smile that the child was ignorant.

At this time, a palace maid came over and told the emperor that the queen would come over in a while.

It was strange to say that Carefree and Mingyue were both strange, and the queen only talked to the two mothers and let them go to the garden to play by themselves.

The two are not good friends who talk about everything, so they both think it's not a good idea.

So after the two left the inner hall, one went east and the other west, but the palace maid persuaded them, saying that the queen ordered that they must be together, and the two were unwilling to go with each other, and finally compromised and went south.

"The servant recommended a good place for the two of you, there is a pavilion in front of you, surrounded by ponds, and now is the time when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is particularly delicate. Why don't the two girls go and enjoy the scenery? A palace maid boldly suggested.

"What's the point of that, my family's Yanshui Pavilion is also surrounded by water, and I get tired of looking at lotus flowers every day." Carefree reluctant to go.

Mingyue was unconvinced: "You really think of yourself as a young lady, that's my aunt's Yanshui Pavilion." ”

The palace maid had no choice but to see that the two were arguing, so she had to take out the queen to scare them, and they had to go to the pavilion, which was the queen's order.

The two came to the pavilion with the palace maid, worry-free or fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of them, compared with the Yanshui Pavilion, the water area here is larger, the scenery is more atmospheric, after all, it is a royal garden.

Mingyue laughed at Wuwu like a country girl who had never seen the world, so she ignored her and asked the palace maid if she could row a boat to pick flowers?

The palace maid persuaded her to be quiet and enjoy the lotus, right? After speaking, the palace maid retreated on her own. Mingyue and Wuwu were left in the pavilion, and neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing.

At that moment the lotus leaves swayed, and out of the flower came a small boat, on which sat a man, but his eyes did not look at them, but at the lotus flowers in full bloom.

"How can there be men here?" Mingyue was so frightened that she covered her face with her hands and asked.

"What's wrong with a man?" Worry-free felt very funny, but when she thought of the costume drama she watched, she immediately understood what Mingyue meant, this is an important place in the palace, and men can't enter casually, she looked at the man on the boat, who was obviously not wearing a Han costume, but this person's popularity was extraordinary, and it should be a great deal.

Worry-free was not panicked, she shouted at the people on the boat: "Hey, what are you, how dare you break into the inner palace, this is a capital crime, leave quickly!" ”

Mingyue was even more scared when she heard this, she pulled Wuwu to leave, but Wuwu ignored her and continued to stare at the water, Mingyue saw that the people on the boat turned their faces to look at them, with a smile on their faces, he was a good-looking man, but he was dressed very strangely, and she forgot to be afraid.

Worry-free smile Mingyue turned out to be a face control, Mingyue didn't understand, but she felt that Worry-free was not malicious.

The man stood up, waved his hand to this side, very sunny and handsome, and said, "I have permission from the queen, but I can only stay on the boat and not go ashore." After saying that, his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost shook and fell into the water, so frightened that he quickly sat down again.

"You are an ethnic minority, and you are not good at water, I understand this, you can just sit and talk." Carefree is very happy, there are so many handsome guys in this ancient world, "You let the captain hold the boat over." ”

The man on the boat waved his hand to signal that he could not move, and then asked the names of the two of them.
