Chapter 43: A Wonderland on Earth

Today's birthday banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info Flowers are in full bloom, hundreds of people compete for beauty, all kinds of beauties, all kinds of gorgeous clothes, it is really more beautiful than flowers!

Xia Zimo was immersed in the ocean of happiness, dazzling and dizzying.

Everywhere there were three or five people gathered together, laughing or whispering. Of course, there will also be loners in such banquets. Zhongli Xue is one of them.

Although he is the eldest son of the Ministry of Rites, no one dares to come forward to talk, his indifference is the same as his piano skills, he is the top existence in each "line", so he got the title of "Snow Boy". At this time, he was sitting in the corner drinking wine.

Xia Zimo and his party became the focus of everyone as soon as they appeared, and everyone talked about it.

"Whose child is this, he is really handsome."

"Presumably the status must be extremely noble! The prince of Jin and the crown prince are all with them. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

One of them looked at Wanrong carefully, and said suspiciously, "Where do I seem to have seen that woman?" ”

"I think I've seen you say that!"

"Isn't he the Oiran of heaven and earth?!"

When their wives heard this, they were annoyed - when did their master go to the Qinglou?

A strong lady directly picked up her man's ears and asked, "Tell me honestly, when did you go to that kind of place?" ”

Some ladies smiled gently, but in their hearts, they thought: I have the courage to dare to eat outside! Give you face now, don't mess with you, and when you go home tonight, hum, I will definitely give you a good look.

Because of this "trivial matter", several "tragedies" occurred in the capital.

Xia Zimo and his party walked in front of Zhong Lixue and stood still, and this move caused everyone to talk about it again.

"See, they actually went to find Zhong Lixue!"

"Aren't they bored with themselves, and they actually go to talk to that indifferent person!"

"Zhong Lixue will definitely not bother with them!"

"That's right!"

But something happened that shocked them, Zhong Lixue not only raised his eyes to look at them, but actually ...... I even smiled at them! What explosive news this is! The 10,000-year-old iceberg even laughs! Although the smile is a little weird and the face is a little distorted, anyone can know that it is really "laughing"! Is the world fantastic? Is the end really coming? Am I hallucinating? It's incredible!

"Zhongli Xue, you arrived early." Xia Zimo replied with a warm smile.

"You're here early, too." He played with the wine glass in his hand.

"Did you bring the piano, you want to accompany it today." Xia Zimo reminded.

"That." Zhong Lixue pointed to the thing wrapped in cloth beside him and drank the wine in the glass.

"You're so bold, aren't you afraid that this wine is poisonous?!" Duanmu Li interjected.

"I'm an insignificant person, unlike you. No one wastes that kind of thing on a musician. Zhong Lixue told the truth - poisons are very expensive, and no one will waste them at will.

"You're really realised." Xia Zimo sighed, she also poured herself a cup and drank it.

"Xiaomo, why are you drinking?" Duanmu Li frowned, a little worried: "You are still young, how can you drink?" ”

"It's okay, this is pear blossom wine, and the degree is not high." Xia Zimo explained.

Zhong Lixue was also afraid of getting drunk and making mistakes, so she specially chose this lighter one, and Xia Zimo could also drink it.

"It's really a good wine, sweet in the mouth, and full of fragrance." Xia Zimo took a look at it, licked the corners of his mouth, and said, "Duanmu Li, when you disperse today, go back and get me a few jars!" ”

"That's fine." Duanmu Li replied briskly, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart: Can they still go back tonight? Duanmu Li clenched his hands.

"You're all thirsty, come and taste it, there's no poison in this wine." Xia Zimo sat down and invited a few people to drink together. They all entered the palace early in the morning, and they didn't dare to touch anything, and now they are indeed a little thirsty.

"I'll have a drink too." Duanmu Li sat down and poured himself a glass, and raised his head to drink.

The prince stopped: "Third brother, don't drink!" "The third brother is the most favored person of his father, and he must not have an accident here.

Zhong Lixue and Xia Zimo were both a little unhappy, they had just drunk it, and they had already verified that it was non-toxic, but the prince still didn't believe it.

The atmosphere was a little awkward......

The prince felt that something was wrong, and now was not the time to fight with them, so he gritted his teeth, snatched the wine glass from Duanmu Li's hand, and drank it.

Several people were a little stunned, why did the plot develop like this? Shouldn't the prince let go of his hand and let Duanmu Li continue to drink? Why did he snatch it up and drink it himself? Don't...... Grab a better taste? The taste is a bit heavy!

"Third brother, it's okay, you keep drinking!" The prince was calm, wiped the corners of his mouth, sat down and said, "It tastes really good." Come on, send another pot! ”

What's going on? A few people were confused.

Cang Qi and Wanrong also sat down and drank. The first pot quickly bottomed out, and the palace maid sent the second pot in time. Wanrong drank it as soon as she picked it up, but was stopped by Xia Zimo, she picked it up and smelled it, and after tasting it gently, she said, "No problem, you can drink it." ”

The crowd continued to drink bitterly.

Xia Zimo felt a little hungry, so he picked up the snacks on the table and ate them.

And they took it up.

After she switched to the other set, everyone followed.

In short, Xia Zimo became the first person to try and drink, and everyone would eat anything that she said was non-toxic. Just when they were enjoying themselves and comforting their internal organs with joy, the others drooled, but no one dared to touch the food around them.

There was a commotion in the distance, and one person foamed at the mouth, and everyone became even more nervous. But Xia Zimo and his party were still unmoved, and continued to eat and drink.

When all the snacks on the table were almost at the bottom, there was a plate of pastries that was never touched. Wanrong asked, "Young Master, is this plate poisonous?" ”

"I don't know!" Xia Zimo took out a small bottle and poured out some black powder in full view of everyone and several people's expectations; In the astonished of several people, they sprinkled evenly on the plate of snacks and said, "Eat it, even if it is poisonous, it will be solved now." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A few people looked at the black layer of powder on it, and no one mentioned the plate of pastries.

"Hehe", Xia Zimo chuckled: "Actually, this plate is non-toxic." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"I don't like this kind of snack."

It's so bad fun!

"The Queen Mother has arrived." One shouted loudly.

Today, the protagonist of the story finally appeared in the limelight.

The Queen Mother wears a dark red annual longevity robe, with a pearl jade white hosta, flying cloud tassels and gold steps, purple and black boots on her feet, a 10,000-year-old warm jade phoenix bracelet in her hand, and an auspicious and round waist tie, which is extravagant. But in her hand she was holding a sandalwood bead that was extremely incommensurate with this body.

"That's the Queen Mother!" Xia Zimo didn't know why, she just couldn't have a good impression of this kind-faced old man, she gave a mocking evaluation, saying, "It's funny." ”

The Queen Mother's first feeling for her was "inconsistency inside and out". Xia Zimo has always been very accurate in looking at people.

"Hmm." Duanmu Li agreed, staring at the Queen Mother's eyes with anger hidden.

"The emperor has arrived, and the concubine has arrived."

The anger in Duanmu Li's eyes was immediately replaced by joy, and after getting up and saying "I'll take a look" to a few people, he stepped forward, and then he stayed with them and didn't come over.

"The queen has arrived." The crown prince then left the place as well.

The crowd saluted. Xia Zimo also gave the emperor enough and bent down, although most of the people chose to kneel, but the guests from several countries only bent over, and she didn't show too abrupt.

"Flat." The emperor said the scene with full of energy: "Today is the queen mother's birthday, and I will be happy with the people." It's good for everyone to relax. ”

"Emperor Xie!" The crowd replied in unison, but a few of them were able to relax in this situationβ€”the slightest mistake was death, and everyone was eager to brace themselves in order to be able to deal with any contingencies.

All the heavyweights appeared, and the banquet officially began. Everyone took their seats, and one by one congratulatory gifts were laid out.

All kinds of treasures and all kinds of strange things were presented in front of everyone one by one, and Xia Zimo, who saw it, was greedy for a while, and thought: If these are all for her, how good it must be!

At the beginning of the performance, the graceful sword dance was arranged in the third, and the first two were regular programs made by the Ministry of Rites, which were not attractive to these people who were used to seeing them.

"Next, I invite the Oiran Wanrong girl from heaven and earth and the first musician of the court to perform."

As soon as the names of the two were announced, the audience was silent, and everyone stopped their own things and devoted their minds to the two people.

The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear. Zhong Lixue's piano skills are famous, his indifference is also famous, and his big names are also very famous - the emperor often asks him to play the piano, but he only agrees a few times, and most of them refuse directly. Today, I am willing to play a song for the Queen Mother, which is indeed enough for the Queen Mother.

The piano rises, the sword rises!

The piano is urgent, the sword is urgent!

The piano is slow, the sword is slow!

The two cooperate tacitly and have a good heart. Today, the graceful sword dance is more pure, and Zhong Lixue's qin is much more advanced than that of the woman that day. This "sword dance", which was already praised by everyone, has become more perfect, more agile, and more natural, far from being comparable to that day.

Fairy music with fairy dance with fairy dance is beautiful. Everyone seems to be in a fairyland: strange flowers are in full bloom, fragrance is overflowing, butterflies and phoenixes are dancing; Mountains and rivers flow, waterfalls are thousands, and dragons swim.

After the song is finished, the sword returns! The illusion is gone! And they fell back to earth.

"Good!" The emperor took the lead in applauding and applauding: "It deserves to be the first in the capital." ”

The title of the first capital in heaven and earth has been recognized by the emperor, and it is well deserved, and from now on, no one can shake it.

Wanrong has received everyone's attention, and Xia Zimo and Cangqi, who are with her, have also received attention. The prince's plan did not fall through.

But even if the three of them attract everyone's attention, so what, they are not the protagonists of today's story after all.

Xia Zimo sneered.

They continued to eat and drink calmly, not caring about the inquiring eyes of the countless circles around them.
