Chapter 170: Suspicion
Chapter 163
"Shhhh
The Qilin Hall was full of inhalation, Princess Ning was already extremely beautiful, but today it is becoming more and more beautiful and unreal. Everyone hasn't seen Princess Ning for a long time, and he has said some things these days, but the original baby fat on his face has disappeared, the perfect face shape, the creamy skin, the impeccable delicate facial features, the chic bun and the flowing clothes are all fascinating, and the face shell doesn't want to take his eyes off.
For everyone's undisguised gaze, Xia Ningmo was a little unhappy in his heart, glanced at everyone, everyone's eyes narrowed, he occupied Tianwei's shoulder, walked to the lower left of the main seat and sat down.
Tianwei was also a little timid when she participated in this kind of banquet for the first time, but now she is used to it, so she doesn't mind this kind of gaze, and her clothes today are the main models of the newly opened clothing stores and jewelry stores in a few days, and the consumers of the two stores are these dignitaries, and today she can be regarded as a publicity. Therefore, she was a little uncomfortable except for Xia Ningmo when she wrapped her arms around his waist, but after a while, she smiled generously and sat on the seat with Xia Ningmo.
After sitting down, Tianwei had time to look at the people around her, and Xia Junyi was sitting opposite them, and he was looking at her with an elegant smile at this time. Smiling back politely, Tianwei set her eyes on the envoy of the Three Kingdoms.
It was General Zhu who came from Fanguo. It was Feng Rui who left the country. He was accompanied by Princess Jingyi, the first beauty who left the country, and the envoys of the feudal country were Yi Qianshu, the crown prince of the feudal country, and Han Ziqi, the general of Weiyuan, and several of them each brought their retinues. (According to the rules of the Xia Kingdom, the envoy can bring two attendants when he enters the palace, and if there is a princess here, he can bring two more maids.) )
See the crown prince of the country. Tianwei was stunned, until the other party shook the folding fan handsomely and smiled at her, Tianwei came back to her senses, touched her nose helplessly, and fanned the fan in winter, this guy is not afraid of colds.
The familiar eyes made everyone in the hall a little puzzled, could it be that Princess Ning and the prince of Fengguo were familiar with each other?
"Baby, do you know the prince of Fengguo?" And Xia Ningmo asked this question even more, his voice was calm and even smiling, but his heart was souring because of Tianwei's familiar and amiable eyes.
Tianwei nodded. Only one "um" word was spoken.
She just won at random. But this word was like a dry steamed bun, choking Xia Ningmo for a long time without speaking, and when he asked again, he seemed to be stingy. Without asking, he couldn't help but guess in his heart that it was very uncomfortable.
Then. The eunuch's shrill chanting sounded.
"The emperor has arrived. The queen mother arrived, and the wind boy arrived. ”
Everyone looked towards the main seat, and the emperor was at the front. The queen and Feng Yue Ling followed behind one left and one right, the emperor and the queen were very compatible in dragon and phoenix court clothes, and Feng Yue Ling was dressed in dark red clothes, although it was more enchanting than before, but it looked out of place among the three.
In the palace, only concubines at the level of noble concubines can wear red, and Feng Yueling wears it like this, which can be seen
Tianwei frowned and looked at Feng Yue Ling, no man in the Xia Kingdom had ever been able to show up on such an occasion with the grace of the Holy Grace, and his current momentum was on par with that of the original Concubine Chen. Tianwei's heart was full of accidents, she hadn't seen her for two months, and Yue Ling also had a world in the palace, but she didn't have a trace of joy in her heart, because she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing!
While she looked at Fengyue Ling, Fengyue Ling's gaze also fell on Tianwei, with joy in her eyes and a warm smile.
Hundreds of officials attended the bow: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
Several princesses and princesses are at the forefront of the team, because of their status, Xia Junyi and Xia Ningmo are in the middle of asking the prince, since Tianwei is in the center of the front as Princess Ning, the emperor only lifted his eyelids lightly and saw her, the inexplicable emotion flashed in the emperor's eyes, and then returned to a smiling appearance.
But the emperor's small action fell in the eyes of Feng Yueling, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he regained his calm in an instant.
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, a day for the whole country of Xia to celebrate! You don't have to be polite and sit down! ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" The officials got up and returned to their seats.
The emperor and queen have arrived, and the banquet will be held.
The graceful palace maid came in with wine and delicacies in her hands, shuttled between the banquets for the tablecloth dishes, and the feast was served in just a moment.
Next, the countries offered congratulatory gifts, most of the offerings are gold, silver and jewelry, the most worth mentioning is the sealing of the country, the prince of the country presented a pair of glazed cranes, these and crystal clear, placed in the center of the hall is alive and well, attracting a burst of amazement from everyone!
However, Tianwei is not included in this crowd, she pouted, glanced at Yi Qianshu, her eyes were full of contempt, if she was not mistaken, the cost of this pair of fairy cranes was only a few taels of silver, it was originally a thing of Wuxin Palace, and the design draft was still painted by Ye Wuxin when she pressed her, and the most important thing is that Ye Wuxin promised to give it to her when this object was ready, damn! Ye Wuxin's bastard actually appropriated it.
Yi Qianshu received Tianwei's disdainful gaze, sneered, and made a silent gesture.
Tianwei gave him a disdainful look, and then her eyes fell on the others.
Xia Ningmo still had an evil smile on his face, but his face was a lot darker, and the excessive eye contact between the two made him suspicious in his heart.
Xia Ningmo was suspicious in her heart, Tianwei also found a problem, the princess Jingyi who left the country looked at her very unfriendly, but the eyes that looked at Xia Ningmo were undisguised obsession.
Tianwei raised an eyebrow, her man was being spied on? It's a really uncomfortable feeling. She peeked at Xia Ningmo, Xia Ningmo was drinking with her eyes down, seeing that she raised her eyebrows when she saw him, Tianwei bent her lips and smiled, raised her hand and picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine for Xia Ningmo, her man didn't have that flowery intestine, and it was useless for the beauty to hook up.
Xia Ningmo was stunned for a moment, and then drank all the contents of the cup with a smile in his eyes, so happy that he even forgot about the unhappiness just now. You know, this woman hasn't paid much attention to him for a long time.
In the main hall, the two people frowned when they saw this scene.
Xia Junyi's gentle eyes were full of obsession, and he hadn't seen him for many days, so I didn't know if he missed it too much. Tianwei was even more beautiful than before, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. And seeing her occasional intimate behavior with Xia Ningmo, he was very uncomfortable, as if he had torn off a piece of meat.
But Tianwei's actions became a demonstration in the eyes of Princess Jingyi, and then she was pampered when she left the country, when did she suffer such anger, and she heard that Tianwei was a folk woman, and she had always looked down on her very much, she was just a country girl, and she dared to show off her power. So now he is even more angry. That perfect smile on his face almost ruined.
People with a heart can't help but find that in Xia Junyi, Princess Jingyi, Yi Qianshu. Xia Ningmo. Tianwei. A strange circle was formed between several people.
And this so-called caring person is the emperor, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth provoked a meaningful smile. He admitted. It was a mistake to give Tianwei this girl to Xia Ningmo as a concubine, he really didn't expect that this girl had this kind of ability, and she knew how to do business and could make gunpowder. However, looking at Yi'er's appearance, as long as you have the heart, everything is still in time, isn't it?
At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and more than a dozen scantily clad dancers twisted their waists and danced in the middle of the main hall.
The main hall was also lively.
At this time, Princess Jingyi suddenly opened up and said with a gentle smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, is it okay for Jingyi to dance?" ”
The emperor laughed loudly: "I have long heard that Princess Jingyi's neon dress dance is a must, can the widow have eyes today?" ”
"Your Majesty, what I want to dance is this neon dress dance!" Princess Jingyi smiled with a coquettish and confident smile. Saying that, she got up and said, "Your Majesty, let me change my clothes." ”
"Good!" The emperor nodded and smiled.
Within a moment, Princess Jingyi changed her clothes, and she walked in barefoot from outside the palace in a bright red dance dress. She walked into the center of the hall and stood still, and suddenly bowed in the direction of Xia Ningmo, with affection in her eyes, and said softly: "Brother Ning Wang, do you still remember Jingyi?" When you left the country, Jingyi admired you very much, and today the emperor gave Jingyi this opportunity, and Jingyi gave you this dance. ”
Tianwei was very unhappy in her heart, and said that ancient girls were conservative, but she never saw anyone who boldly seduced other men's men in front of other people's daughters-in-law, girl! This is too rampant! Thinking about it, she glanced at Xia Ningmo with a smile.
Xia Junyi looked innocent, she remembered the incident a few years ago clearly, she didn't even say a word to this princess, what did she want to dance to do with him?
Princess Jingyi glanced at Xia Ningmo shyly and timidly, and made a dancing movement, the music started, she slowly twisted her waist, and with the change of music, her movements gradually became faster, dancing enchantingly, looking forward to life, red clothes like hair fluttering with his dancing posture, and her white feet spun and jumped on the floor, forming a beautiful music.
The civil and military officials in the main hall all looked at the women in the hall, for fear of missing this wonderful dance, and even some young officials showed love in their eyes.
And not everyone in the hall was watching Princess Jingyi dance, Xia Ningmo was chilling, looking at the wine glass in his hand and not knowing what he was thinking.
Feng Yueling was frowning at Xia Ningmo at this time, and saw that he hadn't watched the dance, so she looked away.
Han Ziqi tasted the wine in the cup, and his eyes fell on Yi Qianshu from time to time, and when he saw Yi Qianshu watching Princess Jingyi dancing with interest, his eyes were a little cold.
Although Xia Junyi was watching the dance, Yu Guang did not leave Tianwei for a moment.
The music slowed down, and Princess Jingyi's dancing posture was also full, and at the end of the music, she made a flying movement, and the dance ended.
"Whoa—"
The hall burst into thunderous applause and cheers.
When the applause stopped, a joking voice sounded in the hall: "Princess Jingyi danced in the city, but, what makes the palace even more curious is that you said before that you would dedicate this dance to King Ning, but this gift also requires you and me to be willing, this hall seems to know, whether His Royal Highness King Ning will accept this dance or not?" ”
Yi Qianshu's words made the eyes of everyone present fall on Xia Ningmo, and the question was too sharp. This is not accepted, but there is a big article, not accepting it is a face-to-face refusal, Princess Jingyi must not come to the stage in front of everyone, if it is accepted, it means that Princess Jingyi's mind is accepted.
At the same time, Tianwei picked up a cup of tea and pretended not to care, but her ears were pricked up.
Xia Ningmo glanced at Tianwei, looked at her indifferently, was a little disappointed, raised his eyes and glanced at Yi Qianshu, and said lightly: "The princess dances beautifully, and this king can be regarded as a blessing for her eyes today." ”
A vague word, he didn't say to accept it, nor did he say not to accept it. But the courtiers who knew Xia Ningmo well thought that he was a little interesting to Princess Jingyi. You must know that in the past, King Ning would not give her face because a girl couldn't get off the stage.
And Tianwei's thoughts were the same as those of the courtiers, frowning, and then returning to the appearance of the sample.
Feng Yueling frowned when she heard Xia Ningmo's answer, her eyes condensed.
Princess Jingyi's anxious heart relaxed, her eyes were full of joy, compared to two years ago, this time it was really much better, in an instant, Princess Jingyi was full of confidence in becoming a woman Xia Ningmo, and couldn't help but glance at Tianwei defiantly.
Yin Qianshu raised his eyebrows when he heard Xia Ningmo's answer, glanced at Tianwei comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Should Qianshu congratulate the princess?" However, the palace thinks that it is still not necessary, King Ning already has a concubine, even if you are Her Royal Highness the princess, you can only be a side concubine, Princess Tang Tang sticks it to be a little wife for others, shame! ”
Princess Jingyi's happy face was embarrassed, and she returned to her original appearance in the middle of the sound, and she bowed to Xia Ningmo with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Xie Ning praises." Then she turned to Yi Qianshu and bowed slightly: "Last year, His Majesty Fengguo sent someone to propose marriage, because Jing Yi had a heart and therefore refused, Xu Jingyi refused too much and directly pouted the prince's face, and Jing Yi made amends to His Royal Highness the prince here." ”
"Poof......" Princess Jingyi's voice just fell, and before Yi Qianshu could react, Tianwei squirted out a sip of tea (to be continued......
