Chapter 3: The Night Banquet in the Palace
Speaking of which, the king of this Tianxuan Kingdom is really full of sincerity, knowing that the Ling family loves his wife like his life, and Mrs. Ling is known to everyone that she is the daughter of the late Yun family, a nobleman of Tianji Kingdom, so he coincidentally chose the Yun Xuan Palace, which implies Mrs. Ling's maiden name, for a banquet.
The throne of Yunxuan Hall is located in the north of the hall, facing due south, there are twenty seats on both sides, all facing the spacious central square in the hall, the closer to the king's seat, the more noble the status, each seat sits four people, the Ling family is arranged to the second seat on the left, which shows the importance of the king of Tianxuan Kingdom.
At this time, the palace eunuch in the palace shuttled non-stop with fruit refreshments, high-ranking officials and important ministers, the son of the family has reached the tenth **, the guests who arrived first or gathered in threes and twos, or sat in the banquet and exchanged heads and ears, until the door sang a promise: "Tang Cheng is here, and the distinguished guests are here!" ”
Everyone looked towards the door in unison, only to see Prime Minister Tang Cheng leading a pair of beautiful people with a smile on his face, which made everyone's eyes shine, and walking hand in hand was obviously an abnormal love, followed by a pair of children was even more amazing, the young man combed a cupola short bun, fixed with a mutton fat white hosta, and wore a brocade blue robe with a handsome face to look even more handsome.
The girl combed a gorgeous but playful flying bun, fixed with two delicate gold silk hollow ruyi hairpins, printed with the round and huge east pearl in the middle of the bun, simple and luxurious, dressed in a light pink Luo dress embroidered with peach blossoms, the figure is slender, the apricot eyes are bright, and the flow is full of brilliance like autumn water waves, beautiful and unbelievable, if the peach blossom fairy descends to earth.
The sons of all the families were busy tidying up, standing up, and trying their best to show their outstanding demeanor, in order to get Miss Ling's blue eyes. Ling Yixuan took his wife and children to meet several high-ranking officials and important ministers of Tianxuan Kingdom and those children of the family one by one under the recommendation of Prime Minister Tang Cheng, and greeted each other. ”
Everyone stopped what they were doing, got up one after another, and stood respectfully towards the door, obviously the person who came was very good, and the person came before the sound came, accompanied by a hearty laughter, a person came in a hurry, the person was of medium stature, slightly fat, wearing a fancy costume, about forty years old, a somewhat pale face of the Chinese character, a pair of eyes slightly slender, but the eyes were shining, and at first sight, he knew that it was deep and powerful, "I heard that my old friend came, and I was also happy, Brother Ling still recognized me?" ”
Mrs. Ling held back the unhappiness in her heart, and snorted lightly, who would have thought that the son who was in the Tianji Kingdom back then would now become a powerful minister above 10,000 people under the Tianxuan Kingdom, although this person is quite scheming, but he is not right-hearted, and he is extremely beautiful, he has coveted the Yun sisters in the Tianji Country for a long time, remembering that he had been thin on himself, and his heart is still itching with hatred, but at this time, it is not good to attack, so he has to endure his anger and barely squeeze out a smile.
However, Ling Yixuan's face was full of smiles, and he said politely: "How dare you call Hou Ye a brother and a brother, it's really embarrassing for Ling." ”
"Hey, Brother Ling, you and I are old friends, you have to be polite, I think Ben Hou also witnessed a good story between Brother Ling and Mrs. Zun in Tianji Country." At the mention of Mrs. Ling, Ning Yuanhou narrowed his eyes, moved his gaze, and scanned it from top to bottom, this woman is well-maintained, her figure is slender, she does not look old and decrepit at all, she is the same as her sister, she is still the same dazzling, after many years, she still thinks of her hands.
Ling Yixuan saw Ning Yuanhou's eyes, his eyes quickly flashed with fierceness, and he protected his wife behind him, and the smile on his face became deeper.
Ning Yuanhou realized Ling Yixuan's unhappiness, restrained his expression, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ling didn't even marry the prince back then, and she ran away from marriage to Brother Ling on the night, which is really admirable!" It's just a pity that Mrs. Ling's sister-in-law, instead of Mrs. Ling, married to the prince Yu of Tianshu Kingdom, and that prince Yu fled in a hurry in Tianxuan Kingdom and ignored his wife, so that the king died in anger, pitiful, not long after giving birth to Lin'er, the mother and son both returned to the west, it is really a shameful life! If it is Benhou, this beauty will not abandon his wife and children. Marquis Ning Yuan insinuated that Mrs. Ling was unkind and shameless. And Mrs. Ling sneered in her heart, if this old pervert met the situation at that time, I was afraid that not only would he abandon his wife and children, but as long as he could live, he could even ignore his father and mother.
Everyone was not very embarrassed when they heard Ning Yuanhou mention the wife of Dugu Yu, the proton of Tianshu Kingdom, and those who had seen Mrs. Dugu were shocked as heavens, living up to the title of the first beauty of the Seven Kingdoms, and it was sad and lamentable.
"The world is impermanent, there is a reason, I think that Ning Yuanhou was just a down-and-out proton who was ignored by people in Tianji Country, was not treated, and hit a wall everywhere, but now he has become an important minister of a country, but one person under ten thousand people, it is really gratifying." Ling Yixuan flicked a thousand catties in twos and threes, and also revealed the sad past of Ning Yuanhou who had sent people under the fence, although both of them smiled lightly, but when they looked at each other, they both felt that there was a taste of sparks.
Without waiting for Ning Yuanhou to speak again, the sound of "dang" sounded, and everyone knelt on the side of the seat, and the inner supervisor of the palace entered in two columns, lined up on both sides of the throne, and at this time, the inner attendant at the door sang at the same time, "The king has arrived, and the queen has arrived."
Everyone was busy kneeling on the ground and shouting "Wanfu to the king, Wanfu to the queen", two pairs of golden silk moire tracked in front of everyone's eyes, and the king of Tianxuan and the queen sat down on the upper seat, and said: "Zhongqing is flat!" ”
The people thanked the king, and then they got up and sat down. Own palace people poured wine, this palace banquet was originally set up by Ling Yixuan, King Tianxuan raised his glass to Ling Yixuan: "Thank you Mr. Jin for the good horse, if my Tianxuan Kingdom can get the help of Mr., it will definitely rise again and dominate the party!" Everyone hurriedly followed the king to raise a glass to Ling Yixuan, and everyone drank the wine in the cup.
At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo started, and the singing and dancing Ji entered in response, Ling Yixuan turned the wine glass, and from time to time looked at each other through the singing and dancing Ji Yaoyao and Ning Yuanhou on the right, and the smile became deeper and deeper, and the eyebrows and eyes were crooked, like a fox that saw its prey.
Ling Qichen pulled the corner of the little sister's clothes, and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen my father so angry, so Ning Yuanhou is so capable." “
Ling Qingyu took a drink, looked at the old pervert opposite, and sighed: "Looking at Daddy's smile like a spring breeze, this Ning Yuanhou must not fall into the hands of Daddy, otherwise it will definitely be more miserable than that rebellious person." “
When Ling Qichen heard this, he instantly stroked his arm, how could the fate of the thief back then be described in a tragic word, Daddy hung the man with elixir and took a breath, and the flesh on his body was sliced nine hundred and eighty-one.
But then again, who made that person so bold that he betrayed Lingyun Palace, causing the fifth brother to be caught in that mission, and almost lost his life, which made his mother angry with thunder.
Speaking of his own Lingyun Palace, it is the most mysterious organization in the Six Kingdoms, with the most complete intelligence network in the Six Nations, and the people in the palace are first-class bounty hunters, and my mother calls them agents, as long as the price is affordable, the people of Lingyun Palace can be hired to complete tasks, such as assassination, rescue, and even siege, counter-plotting, etc.
Of course, the price is determined by Lingyun Palace, in my father's words, there is only a price in this world that cannot be paid, and there is nothing that Lingyun Palace cannot do. And the general task is assigned to the people in the palace, and he rarely participates, because this year's little sister begged to take turns as the head of Lingyun Palace, and he took over the first business, and his father and mother were not at ease, so he took him with him.
At this time, Ling Qingyu quietly observed the nobles and grandsons present, especially paying attention to the prince Jin who was sitting beside the queen, this person has the qualifications of a person, his body is slightly thin, and his eyes look at himself as a nymphomaniac, and at first glance he is a gentleman, and Tianxuan has such a prince who seems to be completely insulated from the position of the overlord.
After singing and dancing, the queen looked at Ling Qing and boasted: "I have heard that the Ling family has a treasure, which is the famous seventh princess, and when I see it today, my appearance and bearing are all superior, it seems that I was born to be a family of imperial powers, and I don't know which noble clan of my Tianxuan has this blessing to marry." On the surface, this seems to be a boast, but in fact it is an allusion that she is a people's daughter, and it is the supreme honor for the royal nobles of Tianxuan to marry her as a wife, and she should respond quickly if she is interested.
