In the royal garden, the eaves of the pavilions are hung with crystal glazed wind lamps of various colors, the trees are tied to it with silk flowers, each of them is hung with several lights, the fire tree silver flowers, dazzling people.

In the liquid pool, the lotus lanterns flutter with the waves, and a delicate stage is set up in the center, the lights are shining, and the sound of fine music is noisy, which is not inferior to the Yao Pond of the Queen Mother of the West.

The caisson of the fern flower hall hangs dozens of colorful glazed palace lamps, and two screens are set up on the north side embroidered with nine dragons and five phoenixes rising sun, and the three dragon and phoenix chairs in front are the thrones of the emperor, the queen and the queen mother.

There are a number of screens on the left side of the east side, each painted with the eagle spreading its wings, the tiger descending the mountain, the white elephant is auspicious, etc., it is the seat of the male guest. The screen on the west side is painted with a hundred birds and a phoenix, a rich peony, and a hibiscus turui, which is a special seat for female dependents.

In the middle, hundreds of exquisite bonsai enclose a five-zhang square open space, which is the place where the dancing girl performs.

Looking at the garden so luxurious, Xia Qingyun touched the scene, remembering the wedding in his previous life, and used 99,000 red roses and countless pearls, which was beautiful, like a dreamlike fairyland. However, all of them shattered into slag along with the cup of poisonous wine, and a wisp of her remnant soul floated down in this life.

Thousands of flashies, after all, it is just a dream of red dust. In this life, can she grasp the good fate in front of her?

Raising his eyes to look at the opposite side, Si Hong Bowen sat in front of the tiger screen, chatting and laughing with several court officials around him, and his handsome and flying look was heartwarming.

Xia Qingyun lowered his eyes suddenly, there is a lover like this, and he does not regret this life.

Suddenly the bells and drums rang in unison, and the people of the two lines of the palace carried the copper crane imperial incense burner, and the crank gold canopy was under it. The emperor and the queen walked in steps, and everyone bowed down and shouted long live.

After the ceremony, the palace people sang loudly: "Welcome to the great Khan of the steppe, Suhelek, the little Khan Batu, and the county lord Toya!" ”

Suhelek is a typical steppe man, full of beard, strong and burly, wearing a royal blue brocade robe and a mink pagoda hat. He walked in with a sense of pride.

Behind him, the little Khan Batu and the county lord Toya. All have fair skin, high noses and deep eyes. Especially the county lord of Natoya, her appearance is extremely beautiful, and the long black curly hair under the red gold forehead is scattered like waves. The red brocade robe tightly wrapped around the curvy figure. Graceful.

Almost everyone's eyes were drawn to her. There was a burst of exclamation from the men's seats.

Toya seemed to enjoy everyone's amazement, smiling and looking around, sitting next to Suhelek with Batu.

"Today is the festival of Shangyuan. Universal celebration. It is a blessing for all the people that I can drink with the Great Khan and turn hostility into jade. The emperor raised the Nine Dragons Golden Bottle filled with jade liquid Qiong Yao and saluted Su Heleke.

Su Heleke and others dipped the ring finger of their right hand in wine, one flick to the sky, two flicks to the ground, and three times to salute the ancestors, before they drank it all.

The mermaids of the palace entered and served all kinds of exquisite delicacies on gold plates and jade cups. In front of the three of Suhelek, the whole leg of mutton and a large piece of beef were presented on a large silver plate, and the three of them took out their sabers and cut them and ate them.

Xia Qingyun secretly said in his heart, the emperor of Qi really has a heart, and even the details of the banquet follow the customs of the grassland. But the looks of Guan Batu and Toya obviously have the characteristics of the West, could it be that the Great Khan married a foreign woman?

Suhelek only brought them to the banquet, which shows his noble status. The grassland people are very particular about pure blood, why don't they shy away from the identity of the two of them?

According to Si Hong's blog post, there was also a military advisor who came with her but did not show up, and she couldn't understand the reason for it for a while.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the queen ordered the dancing girl to perform to help the fun.

After the dance was finished, Su Heleke said: "In our grassland, no matter the singing and dancing, the guest and the host are more interesting, I don't know what the emperor wants?" ”

The emperor groaned slightly, bowed his head slightly, and said: "The Khan is very good, so please invite the dancing girl to compete." ”

Suhelek nodded at Toya, who smiled charmingly and got up and went down to the field.

There was an uproar and applause. The young sons of the family, one by one, their eyebrows fluttered, eagerly waiting to see the beauties dance.

Unexpectedly, Toya gave a crisp high-five, and two attendants walked up carrying a high platform covered with red silk.

Toya grabbed the corner of the red silk and was about to uncover it, when she heard Batu say in a loud voice: "Wait! ”

Batu stood up and clenched his fists, "Your Majesty, since it is a comparison, how about adding some color?" ”

The emperor smiled with interest: "You are the honored guests of the Qi country, what kind of color do you say you should do?" ”

Batu glanced back at Suhelek and said loudly: "Just count three, and after this game, we will solve the problem, and we will win two out of three games." If the Qi country wins, our grassland tribe is willing to be a vassal for the rest of the world, and pay tribute for the whole year. However, if we win, we will take back the surrender of the book, and the Qi country will divide the land of the Hetao as our territory, and it will not be taken back forever! ”

As soon as he said this, the flower hall suddenly fell silent.

The land of the Northwest Hetao is rich in water and grass, known as the south of the Yangtze River, it is an important animal husbandry and medicinal material production area of Qi State, and it is also a fortress to hold the northwest.

Moreover, Batu also said that he would withdraw the letter and order, which is clearly a blatant provocation.

The emperor looked displeased, looked at Suhelek and asked, "Khan, you have been defeated by our army in the war between the two countries, is the little khan going to break the treaty?" ”

Su Heleke looked up to the sky and smiled, "Your Majesty, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Could it be that your country only has the courage of a horseman, but it does not have the wisdom of a wise man, so you are afraid of it? ”

The emperor frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?" ”

The secretary of the military department stood up and said, "The minister thinks that it is absolutely impossible. The war between the two countries is not child's play, since they have surrendered, they should be submitted, and compared with this playful technique, it is inevitable to lose the unification of the country! ”

Prime Minister Nangong Xi disagreed: "It's a playful technique, what am I afraid of?" The minister thought that he could respond to show the prestige of my heavenly empire. ”

The ministers immediately divided into two factions, and there were many discussions. Suhelek and Batu watched the excitement from the sidelines, looking very proud.

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slapped his palm on the table, shaking the dishes and plates, and clanging, "Okay!" According to your words, the winner will be determined in three rounds! ”

Toya chuckled, twisted her waist, and peeled off the red silk from the high platform, revealing a lifelike statue of a dancing girl more than three feet tall.

The statue is carved from ivory, with milk-white skin, dressed in light veil, with shoulders and backs, and colored silk wrapped around its arms.

Toya smiled: "This statue was made by a skilled craftsman in my country's image, so let her dance in my place." ”

She stretched out her hand and gently flicked the mechanism on the base of the statue, and with a crisp and pleasant music, the statue of the dancing queen slowly spun.

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, not understanding why the statue of the dancing girl danced automatically. I saw that while it was spinning, its jade legs were lightly raised, drawing a graceful arc, and its arms were gently dancing with colored silk, as if it was alive.

Before everyone could come back to their senses, the music slowed down, and the dancing girl slowly stopped and returned to her original position.

Tuoya pressed her right hand on her chest and bowed, and said with a smile: "Although the dancing girl of Qi Country is beautiful, it is not as skillful as my dancing queen, and she is very human." This is a win for us, right? ”

The military department sneered: "It's nothing more than the use of clever mechanisms, this game is compared to dance skills, and the puppet can be compared to a real person?" ”

Toya laughed and asked rhetorically, "Then you also send a puppet out to compare, if you can defeat me, I am willing to accept defeat!" (To be continued......)
