Section 95 Secret meeting by the lake
"Xuanxi Cheng envoy to the court!" Although today is a state banquet, some necessary steps are still inevitable before the banquet officially begins.
So when Xiaoxiao was still holding the infinite aftertaste of toffee, she was directly half-forced to sit on the side of the seat, and the rest of the courtiers and their families also returned to their positions one after another, waiting for this summons.
As soon as the eunuch's words fell, a group of brightly dressed teams walked in at the gate of the main hall, and the leader was just at the gate of the palace, attracting the naked detachment of inquiring eyes, and behind him stood two old men on the left and right, one of which was the old man in black robe who was the big secretary just now, and at this moment he still had an old face full of ravines, and he was a little scary.
And the old man on the other side of Chili is obviously much burlier than the big secretary, you don't have to guess to know that he must have been a military general when he was young, with slightly dark skin, Rao is wearing a very decent robe, and the strong muscles on his body are still faintly visible, coupled with his unusually tall figure, many of the Wenchen present showed very unacceptable expressions.
"Minister, Prince Xicheng is Chili, knock on Emperor Jiang! Emperor Jiang's longevity is long! Chi Li, dressed in a strange costume, acted like a thin man saluting him at the gate of the palace, holding one hand on his shoulder and the other with his fist behind his back, shouting, and the crowd behind him immediately echoed.
"Emperor Jiang's longevity is long!"
"It turns out that the emperor's uncle is Emperor Jiang?" Xiaoxiao also heard this title for the first time, and she looked curiously at the group of people who showed their respect in a unique way, and at the same time did not forget to ask Han Xuantian a question in a low voice.
"Now all countries, the title that represents the royal identity is color, and because of the special status of the father and the country, other countries have adopted it, and the color vocabulary similar to their own country, we are red, and they choose red, and the rest have purple, blue and other signs." Han Xuantian was rare and didn't bother, and patiently explained to Xiaoxiao. The tone is also unconsciously with a little bit of pride in the strength of the country where he is located.
"I see." It was also the first time that Shinoxiao knew the current situation of the times he was in, and he couldn't help but be a little more curious about the 'foreigners' in front of him.
Then they were called Chi, and the prince was surnamed Chi. But why don't you have the surname Jiang? ”
"They changed the royal family name because they said that they could get the honor of being the closest to us."
Han Xuantian unconsciously thought deeply when he said this, after all, he was humble enough to directly change the surname of the entire royal family, and he was second only to his own national status in all aspects. He felt that this was not an expression of honor at all, but rather a reminder to the whole country not to forget that the pressure of a mountain above his head was more credible.
"I don't think I'm the second in 10,000 years, so there's nothing to be happy about." Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze on Chili, and whispered back with some disapproval.
"Actually, I think so too." For the first time, Han Xuantian felt that Xiaoxiao's head could occasionally be very bright.
Of course, everyone in the entire hall actually had their own thoughts, but it was still going smoothly until the emperor's uncle announced the official start of the banquet with a red face. The slightly oppressive atmosphere in the hall was finally alleviated, and the people who had been respectfully saluting and offering tribute finally ended their tasks and sat down in the seat closest to the emperor's uncle.
"Side concubine, the slave maid will change the tableware for you." Just when Han Xuantian led the princes to toast, a little palace maid came to Xiaoxiao's side, and it seemed very natural to change Xiaoxiao with new tableware, but she quietly stuffed something into Xiaoxiao's sleeve.
Xiaoxiao was beautifully tasting the craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen, because of the sudden appearance of the little palace maid, she was a little unhappy, pouting and waiting for her to leave quickly. Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt that there was something more in his hand, and out of instinct, Xiaoxiao directly held the foreign object, and when he remembered how suspicious this matter was, the figure of the little palace maid had already mixed in the crowd. It's hard to find.
Xiaoxiao looked around vigilantly, and then pinched the thing that was suddenly stuffed into him with his hand, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he carefully spread his palm under the table.
Seeing a small note lying quietly in his hand, Xiaoxiao frowned tangledly, and raised his eyes to look at Han Xuantian who was still toasting one by one. Xin Yiheng opened the note directly.
Although there is no trace of the inscription or the provenance of "Seeing by the Lake", Xiaoxiao immediately recognized the owner of the handwriting, which was the handwriting of Xiahou Chenyi.
Although Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled, such a blatant invitation was not like Xiahou Chenyi's style, but after thinking about the previous things, he really had something to say, so Xiaoxiao quietly put the note into his sleeve again, looked around, and got up and rushed to the lake behind the palace as naturally as possible.
"Daisi, do you think I still have a chance tonight to see my former princess-to-be perform?" As Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared into the corner gate, Chili, who had been observing her every move, held a wine glass in one hand and half-sat on his back with the other.
"If there is, then it is our opportunity, if not, we are also a matter of mind, so it is good to see it or not."
The old man who was called the chief secretary had a little less cold expression at the moment, and even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand very inappropriately, and he was putting it to his lips at the moment and tasting the aroma seriously, as if he was really immersed in the fragrance of tea.
"It's rare to find such an interesting person, if you lose it like this, Prince Ben really feels a pity." Chili raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, his expression unfathomable.
On the other side, Xiaoxiao flashed out of the corner gate, and the cat looked around and went straight to his destination, and saw the man under the tree from a distance, Xiaoxiao's mouth turned up unconsciously, and he walked a few steps forward.
"Hey!" Xiaoxiao gently poked Xiahou Chenyi on one shoulder, and then flashed to the other side, smiling and waiting for the surprise of his little prank.
As a result, the other party was not fooled at all, so when Xiaoxiao was waiting to laugh at him with his little face up, he directly met Xiahou Chenyi's gentle and doting eyes, "It's good to be joking, it proves that you are doing well." ”
Xiaoxiao somehow, because of his words, he actually began to feel a little guilty in his heart, he is now concerned about whether his life is going well, and he has almost never thought about whether he is good or not, whether he is too incompetent. (To be continued.) )
