Chapter 202: The State Banquet Comes

When the five countries are lined up today, Xuanyue is in the middle, and the national strength is also the strongest, it is adjacent to Chen State in the east, Zhao State in the south, and North Vietnam in the north.

Two years ago, after the emperor returned from a great victory, according to the original agreement, the Xiliang Kingdom must pay tribute to the Xuanyue Dynasty every year.

This time, the Xiliang envoys came to Jinling with rich tributes as promised, and in order to show the etiquette of the state, the emperor Xuan Lili decided to hold a state banquet to entertain the envoys.

Three days later, the state banquet hall of Yichun Garden was full, the emperor and the queen sat in the center, and the guests and hosts sat on the left and right.

On the left, it is composed of Concubine Dou Lianyi, Guangling Wang Yue Jingfeng and his wife, and Lord Yu Shi Xiao; On the right is the envoy side, the leader of the team is the first prince of the Xiliang Kingdom, Murong Mingri, who has made outstanding achievements.

The guest and the host sat down, Emperor Xuanyue personally delivered a speech to welcome the friends who came from afar, and then Xiliang came to make Murong present the tribute list tomorrow, and brought the respect of the emperor of his country.

It's just that Murong Mingri is eight feet tall, broad-faced, and looks very mighty, saying that he is a tribute, but his demeanor is very arrogant, and he doesn't look like a person who surrenders with a happy heart.

I heard that in the last battle, this person was unable to fight for some reason, and he has always been haunted by the defeat of his country, and often proudly said: If this king is here, he will not lose to Xuanyue, so it is no wonder that he has such an unrespectful attitude.

Xuan Lonely remained silent, showing the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the demeanor of a great country.

Next is the introduction link between the two sides, when the Moon King and his wife are introduced, Murong Ming only nodded at the Moon King as a salute: "I have admired the good name of the prince for a long time, and when I saw it today, I really deserved the reputation of the first beautiful man in the world and the first virtuous king in the world." ”

"Murong Wang Ye praised it falsely, I heard that the prince is the first fierce general in Xiliang, my emperor returned to the dynasty after the victory of the previous royal carry, and has always regretted not fighting with the prince, and said that if there is a chance, he is willing to wear a robe again, Xiao Wang hopes that the two countries will be friendly for generations and never see each other again, what does the prince think?"

Yue Jingfeng smiled lightly, not only reminding the other party that the general of the defeated army does not have to speak bravely, but also admonishing the two sides to coexist peacefully for the benefit of the people.

"What the Lord of the Moon said is, hehe, this king heard that the Moon Princess is the number one dancer in the country, but she?" Ouyang Mingri raised his hand and pointed to the Mingxue kite next to him, and his contempt was overflowing.

Lord Xiao was displeased: "How can Princess Moon be contemptuous? ”

"Hmph, it's true that she is your princess, but in the eyes of this king, she is just a dancing girl in Xiliang, oh, it turns out that the dancing girls of my country are so noble in your country, Gaga, if this king had known, he should have brought a few more this time." Ouyang Mingri's speech became more and more unmeasured, and there was already an insult to the country between his words.

From the emperor to the prince, their faces changed, but they couldn't answer.

"Lord Murong is polite." Duming Xue Kite's face did not change color, and it was as calm as before: "Why should the prince be brave, if the old country Xiliang is really strong, the Ming family will not be where it is today, isn't it?" ”

The words made Murong Mingri's face red and white for a while, and he snorted for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh and retreated to his seat.

"As the saying goes, the sword is given to the hero, and before that, my emperor specially asked me to give this sword to the emperor, please smile." A man stood up in the middle of his seat, presenting a delicate sword box in both hands.

"Li Liancheng." Xuan Silence glanced at the person standing next to him.

Li Liancheng received the order, and immediately stepped forward to take it, not wanting the sword box to be too heavy, he almost missed the ground, he gritted his teeth to stabilize his figure, opened the sword box, and an embroidered iron sword came into view, and everyone's faces changed.

Xuan Lonely's face once again showed a look of displeasure.

"Lord Murong, what do you mean by this?" Lord Xiao was even more indignant.

Murong swaggered back to his body tomorrow, flicked the sword box inlaid with gems and night pearls, and laughed: "Good box, thirty-six red, blue, green and green gems are inlaid with ten night pearls, which can be described as priceless." ”

It is a wonderful irony that there is an embroidered sword lying in a luxurious sword box.

Dou Lianyi also guessed the other party's move, intending to ridicule Xuanyue's external strength, so he smiled slightly and said: "Gonggong Li, take it and let the palace take a look." ”

Li Liancheng immediately held the jeweled sword box and presented it to her.

Dou Lianyi secretly sighed, and then grabbed the rusty sword, and flicked his other finger, and the rusty sword made a dull sound, however, the sword is a famous sword, but it is a little old.

"Good sword, it's just that I haven't met a famous master before, and I've been buried."

As soon as these words came out, how could Murong Mingri not hear the derogatory meaning in her words, his face couldn't help but sink, and he said provocatively: "This king wants to see how it regains its brilliance." ”

"Sword Yao Mountains and Rivers."

The woman was obviously indifferent, but she seemed to swallow thousands of miles, and her wrist shook, but when she saw the rusty sword glowing like a bright light, she flew out with a sonorous sound, and plunged straight into the heavy stone wall with incomparable momentum and moving posture, and the hilt of the sword trembled a few times.

A room held its breath and condensed, and the room was full of dazzling fascination.

Bang Bang Bang ......

For a long time, some people struck the knots and drank them one by one.

"Concubine Li is very skilled, I didn't expect the women of the Xuanyue Dynasty to be so powerful, Your Majesty the Emperor, Xiao Wang is happy to surrender." Murong got up tomorrow, and until this time, he was finally willing to bend his knees and salute willingly.

Xuan Lili naturally knew the mystery, it must have been done by Feixue in secret, but Dou Lianyi was able to come up with such a plan in such a situation, which showed that he was very clever and talented, and he couldn't help but glance at the woman with appreciation.

Then he waved his hand generously, and wrote lightly at the envoy: "What is this, if the prince stays longer, I will definitely make the prince 'surprised', just sit down." ”

For a while, the guests and hosts were happy.

During the banquet, there were also beautiful maiko singing and dancing presented by Xiliang Kingdom.

Dou Lianyi's eyes turned inadvertently, and he saw that his sister appeared beside Lord Xiao at some point, and took the wine pot and frequently poured wine for Lord Xiao, who was drinking happily.

Odd.

With my sister's temperament, I should hate Lord Xiao to the core, and now I am serving with wine, there must be ghosts among them, thinking so, Dou Lianyi quietly paid attention to her sister's movements.

After Lord Xiao drank a few glasses, Dou Wuxi glanced left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to herself, she tiptoed out, and naturally, the wine pot in her hand also took it with her.

"Wu'er, follow the second lady and try to get the wine jug in her hand." She whispered an order, and Wu'er took the order and left.

When she turned her attention back to the field as if nothing happened, Lord Xiao somehow left her seat, stepped forward and hugged a kabuki and moved her hands and feet, her eyes were red, and her mouth was foul language: "Beauty, come, hug one." ”

Frightened, the dancer screamed and ran away.

"Lord Xiao, you drank too much, come on, pull Lord Xiao down to sober up." In such an ugly act at a state event, ignoring the dignity and dignity of the country, Xuan Lonely couldn't calm down, and shouted angrily.

Yue Jingfeng frowned, and there was a hint of confusion, with his understanding of Lord Xiao, he was upright and upright, and he would never do such a thing that damaged the national character and personal reputation?

"Hahaha, it seems that our Xiliang dancer is really powerful, and a man is fascinated by it, according to this king, there was a princess before, and this time there may be another lady of Yushi." Murong laughed wildly tomorrow, and the words he said were even more unpleasant.

Xuan Lonely couldn't hold it anymore on his face, brushed his sleeves away, and a state banquet broke up unhappily.

As for Lord Xiao, after waking up, he was extremely ashamed, and he felt shameless to see the saint and his former colleagues again, so he immediately asked for his resignation and did not do it.

And Dou Lianyi learned from Wu'er that after Dou Sister-in-law left the table, she was blocked by Linglong halfway, and then the two went to the queen's Kunning Palace together.

It's over, my sister Dou Auntie must have been caught by the queen's mother, when she heard it, she felt a sigh in her heart, and at the same time a chill ran down her spine.

Also, if she guessed correctly, Yuebiluo would come to her immediately.

In fact, as she expected, after a while, the small palace people in the middle palace came to spread the word, saying that the queen asked Concubine Li to go immediately and discuss important matters.

Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, Dou Lianyi didn't say a word, and immediately sat in a soft sedan chair and came to the middle palace.

"Concubine Li is coming quickly, sit down." The white fingers of the moon and the green and white tapped the silver wine jug one by one, and greeted him with a smile.

Dou Lianyi finished saluting and sat down as ordered.

"The queen mother summoned her, how dare the concubines slack off." When she entered the door, she saw the silver wine jug at a glance, and could only wait quietly for the queen to make a move, and she would see her own move.

Yue Biluo suddenly stopped tapping between her fingers, and said with her lips: "Does this silver pot concubine feel familiar?" ”

"The utensils commonly used in palace banquets are familiar, why, does the queen want to invite her concubines to have a drink? I'm sorry, the concubine is pregnant, and she can't drink with her, so please don't blame the mother. Since Yue Biluo is dumb, she doesn't have to be in a hurry to break it, just follow the Tai Chi, and see who can't hold her breath first.

Sure enough, Yue Biluo couldn't hold it back, and her eyes were coldly projected: "This silver pot was intercepted from Ling Mei's hand, Concubine Li is a smart person, she should have some associations." ”

Lord Xiao's public scandal was really caused by his sister Dou Auntie.

Dou Lianyi lowered his head, sighed secretly, took advantage of the situation to hide the urgency and anger in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he was already calm as usual: "The concubine doesn't understand what Niangniang means, please make it clear." ”

Hmph, play dumb.

Yue Biluo didn't want to go around in circles: "The wine in this silver pot was drugged, and then it was poured for Lord Xiao to drink, as for who it is, this palace feels that there is no need to say it again." ”

"Could it be...... The concubine's sister? She pretended to be surprised and asked, and Ji'er couldn't believe it: "Impossible, why did she do this?" ”

A trace of vicious sneer bloomed on Yuebiluo's lips: "Concubine Li, don't act with this palace, Dou Auntie has already confessed, and you are not allowed to hide it for her." ”
