Chapter 40: State Banquet

In the eighteenth year of Emperor Wen of Yuguo, the eldest son of Emperor Daxing, King Guanglin took the envoys of Wu State to meet the emperor, and lived in the palace, the court was in an uproar, and the military generals of Wenchen were greatly dissatisfied, Fu Guogong led a group of ministers to impeach King Guanglin, Jiang Guogong directly surrounded the post station, and King Guanglin was forced to reluctantly move to Yongwang's Mansion, and lived in the front yard of Yongwang's Mansion as a guest.

On the winter solstice of the eighteenth year of Emperor Wen, also known as the small year, the emperor held a feast, summoned Wu Bang's envoys, and at the same time received the wind and washed the dust for his brother.

"Mother, what kind of bun do we wear today? The slave thinks you look good in whatever you dress! While combing Angel's hair, Shuang'er kept gesturing, looking particularly embarrassed, the master's appearance gradually grew, and her little skill was not enough to see.

Angel glanced at the beaded coral bat hairpin in her jewelry box, and shook her head unconsciously, although the tribute hairpin rewarded by the emperor was prosperous, it didn't seem to be very suitable for her, but such a state banquet, if she was dressed too coldly, it was not suitable.

"Comb me a bun, bring a proper crystal headdress, with hollow carved crystal hairpins on both sides, before going out, my mother created a pair of orchid bud-shaped earrings for me, put that one on me, and by the way, take out the cloisonne bracelet given by the emperor, and bring the dress to the juan gauze gold silk embroidered long skirt, don't rub the powder, I don't like that taste." Angel doesn't like to be gorgeous, but it won't affect her image of light makeup and generosity.

The scorching hibiscus is rippling, and the silk is heartfelt. Trim the fit, if the shoulders are sharpened. The waist is like a prime, the neck is stretched, and the quality is exposed. Fang Ze has no addition, and the lead is Huafu Yu. The clouds are ethereal, and the eyebrows are trimmed. Dan lips are bright outside, bright teeth are fresh inside, bright eyes are good, and Jing Fu inherits power. Magnificent and elegant, quiet and leisurely. Tenderness and flattery. The strange clothes are magnificent, and the bone image should be pictured. The brilliance of the cloth, the brilliance of the Yaobi. Wear gold and emerald jewelry, embellished with pearls to show off your body.

Seeing such a scene, Bing'er shook her head unappreciatively, "Master, the slave begs you not to laugh, this will almost make the slave and maid stunned, if you enter the hall, I am afraid that I will make a group of concubines and maids jealous and red-eyed." ”

Angel shook her head helplessly, "Bing'er's mouth, I'm afraid that I will catch up with the sugar melon that will be sacrificed to the king of the stove on the twenty-third day, and the sweetness will make the mouth dry, who can marry us Bing'er, then it will be regarded as falling into a honey pot." ”

"Master!" After hearing this, Bing'er's little face suddenly turned red with shame, kicked her feet, turned around and rushed out, she was still a little girl, and her face was a little thinner.

When Angel arrived, except for the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen, almost everything that should have arrived arrived, and Fu Guifei, who was the leader, sat leisurely, although there were many low-ranking concubines around her to please her clothes, but she looked like she was ignoring her, and those who were qualified to do so may be the only one left.

"Mother!" An immature figure rushed in from the door, walked to Ran Zhaoyi's side in three or two steps with short fat legs.

"Hey, hey! Mother's good girl, mother's concubine's heart! Ran Zhaoyi hugged the small figure, screaming at the heart, and at the same time shushing the child and asking for warmth.

Angel knows that this child is most likely the first daughter of the eldest grandson Yuanhong, Princess Congsanpinjiaran, whose full name is the eldest grandson Yanni, which means that she is a talented and virtuous girl.

The grades of the princesses of Yuguo are often different, although they all enjoy the princess's salary, the daughter is always one level lower than the mother, and after getting married, she will call the princess directly, and the husband is all courtiers, and the edict of the captain of the horse is sealed.

"Mother, I sue you! I just helped my mother and concubine take care of my younger brother, and he was alone in the palace and no one played with him, so he cried anxiously, and his daughter played with his younger brother. Princess Jiaran patted her small chest and said to her mother.

Ran Zhaoyi suddenly cried and laughed after hearing this, and nodded her little nose, "Little girl, forget it!" I think it's true that you're going to trouble your brother again, your brother is much easier than you, and he doesn't cry or make trouble all day long, which is like you being a troublemaker. ”

The eyes were full of pampering, so that the words she said did not show any threat, the little girl was still tired of being crooked in her mother's arms, revealing the six small baby teeth in front of her who were as white as jade, which really made the women present cute, and they all wanted to take the little princess back to raise, and even Fu Guifei looked sideways.

"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! The queen has arrived! The king of Guanglin and his envoys came to see you! "When the inner hall was peaceful, the eunuchs outside sang the theme of the day.

The concubines present hurriedly knelt down and sang in unison, "Concubines (concubines, concubines) see the emperor!" I've seen the Queen Mother! I've seen the Queen! ”

The emperor sat on the first place, wearing a majestic and solemn dragon robe, showing a different kind of domineering and noble appearance of this man, the nine-clawed golden dragon showed the right to return to the destiny, and the queen sat on the phoenix chair on the side, wearing a dazzling nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, interpreting the glory of the mother of the world, and the responsibility of becoming the mother of the world.

The queen mother on the side looked at what happened in front of her, and nodded with satisfaction, although the emperor has been much closer to the Fu family over the years, and he does not respect her as a mother-in-law, but it can't change the status of the Jiang family.

The emperor waved his hand: "All the kings, let's get even!" ”

"The concubines (concubines, concubines) have thanked the emperor for his grace!" The concubines sat down again.

Angel glanced at Fu Guifei on the side, although she was wearing an eight-tailed phoenix hairpin, a luxurious golden peony and a long skirt, her nails were buttoned with prosperous finger covers, and she was magnificent, but compared to the queen, what she lost was the mother's grace in the world, even if it was that woman who rushed to the crown, her identity was no worse than the queen, and she could not win the queen's demeanor, maybe when this woman entered the palace, she was destined to be sad.

The emperor raised his glass and said to King Guanglin and his envoys, "The imperial brother and the envoys have come from afar, and I have missed the welcome, so I am here to take two glasses first." ”

"Weichen thanked the emperor!"

"Thank you, Emperor Yuguo!"

Both sides held up the wine bottle and drank it all, although a banquet will happen a lot of unexpected things, but the problems on each other's scene still have to be done, Angel doesn't feel that this is really tired and panicked.

The emperor moved the wine glass, and the concubines present began to eat, fortunately, this time it was the foreign envoy's visit, and the wine and delicacies on the table were hot, Angel looked at Kang Baolin, who was chewing snacks like a little mouse, and handed over the piece of rock candy on the table.

"Ru'er, I see that you like to eat sweet, this stewed elbow with rock sugar is good, so I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, sister!" Kang Shunyi suddenly smiled, and picked up the red grapes on the table, "I see that my sister loves to eat fruits, so this plate of red grapes will be given to my sister." ”

Angel felt a little funny after hearing this, she was really just a child, she glanced at the red grape on the corner of her table, and then at the plate of red grape in her hand, she really didn't know what to do, "Forget it, red grape has the effect of beauty and oil, sister still has a plate here, this plate of sister still eats the stewed elbow with rock sugar before eating!" This thing looks delicious, but it is also very greasy and indigestible, so it is better to eat some fruit for a while. ”

"Oh!" Lin Ru'er was a little puzzled, but nodded, and then struggled with the rock sugar stewed elbow in her hand.

The emperor glanced at King Guanglin, "The imperial brother came from afar, and he is still used to living in the capital, the capital is not as good as the royal brother's Guanglin Wang's palace, and I am not well entertained, so please forgive the imperial brother." ”

"Your Majesty is polite!" King Guanglin arched his hand, "When the king was in the post station, he talked very happily with the envoys of the foreign domain, and we were somewhat similar to the living customs of the foreign domain, and the king and the envoys could talk about the customs of the outside world." It's a pity that Jiang Guogong seems to be very jealous of this king, although the dancing girl of King Yong's mansion is beautiful, but it is still far less fierce than the soldiers in the hands of the grandfather of the country, the king likes that kind of bloody days outside the Saiwai for many years, if the grandfather of the country can let his subordinates and the king have a fight, it will be a good thing. ”

Obviously, King Guanglin was very dissatisfied with Jiang Guogong's approach, and at the same time laughed at the incompetence of the emperor in front of him, and actually let a Guogong privately dispatch troops, and the power of the court was lost, which was really difficult to be worthy of the royal family ancestors and ancestors.

The eldest grandson Yuanhong didn't seem to be angry with the words, and half-raised his eyes, "The imperial brother is valued by his father, and he loves martial arts since he was a child, but it's a pity that Jiang Guogong's army is going to defend the territory for me. ”

Angel suddenly felt funny, it seems that the eldest grandson Yuanhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and directly satirizes the king of Guanglin for being brave and unscrupulous, and only dancing with swords and swords all day long, indicating that Jiang Guogong is a famous general of the dynasty, and putting military power in his hands is only used to guard the frontier. If you want to compete in martial arts, you can, then you are only worthy of being compared with those pampered sons and brothers in the palace, and if you want to compete with my own soldiers, I'm afraid you don't have that qualification yet.

Angel just looked at King Guanglin a lot, he was the eldest son of the first emperor, the first emperor didn't like this son, because he was born to a female emperor, and occupied the position of the eldest son of the emperor, the first emperor only gave him the position of a county king when he was an adult, and then directly gave a fief to it, and sent it away.

The only thing he is similar to Changsun Yuanhong is probably only Eagle Eyes, a neatly framed face of Chinese characters, half a head taller than the average Shengjing man, the tiger's mouth of his hands is full of calluses, and the traces of wind and sun mark the hard work of this man who has practiced martial arts for many years, and his smooth fingertips do not see any ups and downs, and he seems to be a person who rarely holds a pen.
