Chapter 253: Palace Banquet
With a smile on her face, Mingzhu sat in the dressing mirror and let the palace maid dress herself.
Tonight, our Qingyu must be glamorous, especially that Du Xiqing. I will let her know that she is inferior to me in everything in her life.
Du Xiqing and Li Jin were sitting in the carriage and walking towards the palace at this time. Li Jinhong looked at Du Xiqing's body, and suddenly said with a smile: "Why don't you dress up?" ”
Du Xiqing raised her willow eyebrows, glanced at Li Jinhong, and then said with a smile: "My husband dislikes me for being too vulgar and can't get into your eyes?" ”
"Who said that my wife was naturally beautiful, how could she be vulgar?" Li Jinhong hurriedly said flatteringly, looking at where there is still the momentum of a majestic general.
"Hmph, even if you know each other, you can say some sweet words! Since this princess is naturally beautiful, what she wears is her own, do you need to set off yourself with those vulgar rouge gouache and jewelry? Du Xiqing boasted proudly.
Not to mention, even if Du Xiqing is dressed in such a simple dress, the temperament of the whole body is so unique.
Du Xiqing glanced at Li Jinhong, and then said, "What about you?" Why don't you put on the armor of your great general, maybe you can charm the hearts of many women! ”
Li Jinhong was just drinking water, and when he heard Du Xiqing's sour words, he almost choked. After putting the cup down, Li Jinhong looked at Du Xiqing with a smile and said, "Your husband and I are the King of Care, since I am the King of Care, I naturally have to wear it casually to show my title!" What's more, isn't this advocating that women sing and husbands follow? ”
After speaking, Li Jinhong also deliberately winked at Du Xiqing.
Du Xiqing looked at Li Jinhong funny. Suddenly there was no more to say.
Thinking that it was Fang Qingyu who was in charge of the banquet in the palace today, Du Xiqing had no appetite, and naturally she didn't bother to bother to dress up. If you can. Du Xiqing really didn't want to come to this Laoshizi Palace for a banquet.
It's just that after all, it was the emperor's overture, even if Fang Qing was unhappy, but Du Xiqing still didn't offend the emperor willfully.
Soon, the carriage entered the palace.
By this time, most of the people in the palace had already arrived. Because this banquet was only for some important ministers, there were no separate seats for men and women, but everyone sat together.
When the eunuch sang the arrival of the King of Joy and the Princess of the Protector. The eyes of everyone in the main hall were focused on the entrance of the palace at once.
You must know that whether it is the King of Freedom or the Princess of the Protector, she is very low-key on weekdays. Hardly interacting with the ministers of the court. I don't take any posts, so that there are very few people who can recognize these two now.
And Mingzhu's eyes flashed after hearing the eunuch's words, and then deliberately straightened his back. Raised his head and chest. sat beside the emperor with full momentum.
Mingzhu, who was waiting for Du Xiqing to appear with all his might, didn't notice the meaningful inquiring eyes that the emperor next to him looked at at at this time.
When Du Xiqing and Li Jinhong, under the leadership of the eunuch, appeared in front of everyone's eyes together, they saw Fang Qingyu sitting in the middle at a glance.
Du Xiqing smiled skillfully, then looked at Li Jinhong and smiled. Li Jinhong also gave Du Xiqing a warm smile back, and then took Du Xiqing's hand and carefully escorted Du Xiqing towards the main hall.
The communication between the two was seen by the people in the hall, and then looked at the hands that the two had been holding each other from beginning to end and moving forward in agreement. Everyone who sat down again already knew how important this princess of the protector was in the heart of the King of Ease.
In general, men and their families pass through. The woman will deliberately take a half step back to show her husband's respect. And Du Xiqing walked side by side side with Li Jinhong calmly from beginning to end, and Li Jinhong seemed to have a very comfortable look at such a pass. This scene is already very revealing.
"Jinhong, you and Xiqing are late, hurry up and sit down, I can't wait to have a glass of wine with you and your wife!" When the emperor saw the two, he immediately said in a very casual tone.
As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall were immediately stunned. You must know that everyone came in to pay homage to the emperor before they sat down. Unexpectedly, as soon as the King of Joy and the Princess of the Protector came in, the emperor actually took the initiative to let the two of them sit down. And from the emperor's casual tone, you can hear that the emperor treats the couple differently.
At this time, the smile on Mingzhu's face couldn't hold back, originally Mingzhu dressed up just to beat Du Xiqing. At the same time, he also used his identity as the imperial concubine to force Du Xiqing to salute him. But his own calculations were all frustrated by the emperor's words, which made Mingzhu reconcile.
The hand placed under the table and chair was already clenched with hatred at this time, but the smile on his face was a little hideous.
Seeing Concubine Ming's expression of trying to suppress the anger in her heart, Du Xiqing smiled lightly, and then handed the emperor a thank you look! Then he sat down with Li Jinhong.
Li Jinhong and Du Xiqing glanced at each other, and then raised the wine glass together, Li Jinhong smiled and said to the emperor: "Jinhong couple, borrow flowers and offer Buddha to toast here, and wish the dynasty more and more prosperity under the emperor's governance!" ”
When the emperor heard this, he was immediately happy, so he immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp after touching Li Jinhong and his wife.
After this glass of wine, Mingzhu was looking at Du Xiqing all the time. Seeing her and Li Jinhong's tender and sweet words, the anger in Fang Qingyu's heart burned more and more.
Why, why can't you get what you want in your life, but these two Du Xiqing can easily have it again and again.
The jealousy in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and the smile on Mingzhu's face had been deformed, and if he looked closely, he would find that he had become a little irrepressible hideous.
Suddenly, and then Du Xiqing's sleeves waved, Mingzhu seemed to have discovered something all of a sudden, and her eyes suddenly became brighter and brighter. Putting away the hideousness on her face, Mingzhu smiled.
"Your Majesty, the dress of the princess of the country is really chic, it looks very comfortable, and the concubines can't help but want to follow suit. It's a pity that today's concubines attended on behalf of the queen, and they still have to pay attention to etiquette and grooming. Mingzhu suddenly said these words above the main hall, and his intentions were obvious.
At this time, the important ministers did not dare to speak, and they all buried their heads in eating. I'm afraid I'll be drawn into this fight. You must know that on the one hand, there is a meritorious minister who is valued by the emperor, and on the other hand, there is a concubine who is loved by the emperor, and it is not good to offend anyone.
