Chapter 200: Palace Banquet
At Bai Mengtan's signal, Zilan followed Na Tingxin's footsteps and walked towards the depths of the palace.
This time when she entered the palace, Bai Mengtan didn't just come to participate in the palace banquet, she also had other purposes.
It's about finding that person and forming an alliance with him. In order to help his son's brother, he paved the way in the court of Yanbei.
Although she also knew that with Xia Yeteng's ability, if he wanted to occupy a place in Yanbei's palace, it would only be a matter of time.
But no matter what, she always hoped that she could help Natsuyoto do something, even if it was really insignificant to her Shizi brother.
"Miss Ge Yanran, the daughter of the crown prince and Prime Minister Ge Cheng, has arrived."
Just when the palace banquet was in full swing, the eunuchs outside the threshold called out.
The eyes of everyone present were attracted by the two figures who came in from outside the door.
Xia Yanlie wore a gold-edged embroidered robe in white, a piece of sweat white jade hanging from black leather around his waist, and black military boots on his feet.
And the girl beside him, with delicate hair in a delicate bun, a pink skirt, a snow-white cape, and a golden stove in her hand. Because he has been raised in the deep boudoir all the year round, his complexion is like snow, he is plain and elegant, and his gentle makeup has the demeanor of everyone's ladies in every move.
When Ge Yanran saw His Majesty King Yan, she made a great gift of great blessings in an orderly manner.
The demeanor is dignified, even the old palace maid who has lived in the deep palace for a long time may not necessarily make the etiquette in the palace so perfect.
made everyone present feel envious that Prime Minister Ge Cheng had such a knowledgeable daughter.
"Ge Aiqing, but she really gave birth to a good daughter! and my Yan'er are really a natural pair. ”
His Majesty Yanbei touched his beard and expressed his appreciation to Ge Yanran.
The officials in the audience, after hearing His Majesty Yanbei's approval, also flattered Prime Minister Ge Cheng.
"The Ge family has a girl who has just grown up, and Miss Yanran can be so knowledgeable and courteous, but it is really a blessing for you Prime Minister Ge!"
"Everyone in the world knows that the daughter of the prime minister's family is the first beauty in Yanbei, and the official thinks that not only is she the first beauty in Yanbei, but also the first talented woman in Yanbei."
……
While listening to Prime Minister Ge, the compliments of the officials around him actually hoped that his daughter could sit obediently on the side and not be too conspicuous, her illness could not bear the toss.
Prime Minister Ge Cheng's worries, Xia Yanlie, who was beside Ge Yanran, naturally saw it.
Anyway, he still has to rely on the forces behind Prime Minister Ge Cheng to help him ascend to the throne, so naturally he will not treat Ge Yanran badly.
"Back to my father, Yanran has been weak since she was a child, so her son helped her to the side to rest first."
"Please wait." Qin Guifei, who had been sitting on the chaise longue and was silent, shook the folding fan made of pure gold in her hand, half-covering her face to reveal her foxy eyes and said.
"Is there anything else going on with the concubine?" Xia Yanlie's previously kind eyes instantly became vigilant.
The originally lively palace banquet suddenly became silent.
In the banquet, the eyes of everyone present were focused on the two opposing soldiers.
The prince and Qin Guifei are not in harmony, it is not a matter of one day or two days, this time Xia Yanlie came with Ge Yanran, this is a rare opportunity to give Xia Yanlie a chance to make a fool of himself, how can Qin Guifei let it go easily.
She wished that this time she could make Xia Yanlie make a fool of herself in public, so that his relationship with Prime Minister Ge Cheng would be torn apart.
"Since everyone knows that the daughter of Prime Minister Ge Cheng's family is not only beautiful, but also quite talented, then this palace wants to see the talent of Prime Minister's daughter."
Than the talent Bai Mengtan ate in her mouth, Xia Yeteng fed her food, and she was happy in her heart, she hadn't seen such a wonderful show for a long time.
Anyway, for her, the more fierce the struggle between Qin Guifei and Prime Minister Ge Cheng, the more beneficial it will be to her brother, and the best thing is to lose both.
"Wait, who said that you want to compare talents, this princess has solved her own affairs first, and it is not too late for you to let the prime minister's daughter compare her talents."
At this time, outside the palace banquet.
A girl dressed in black, with a smart hairstyle, and a leather whip in her hand, and a black panther under her, ran directly to the center of the banquet.
Scared away on the dance floor, dancing girls.
Xia Yirong was not good, looking for something in the hall.
"Rong'er, this is a palace banquet, you hurry up." Qin Guifei finally found the right one, and wanted to ridicule the opportunity of Prime Minister Ge and Xia Yanlie.
As long as Ge Yanran has the slightest mistake, she can seize the handle and bite Prime Minister Ge's family to secretly rebel, but she didn't expect her baby daughter to rush out at this time.
She was so angry that she was ruthless, and immediately asked the guards to take Xia Yirong away, but the people present were all important officials in Yanbei.
"Mother, do you know why your son is here?" Xia Yirong said with anger all over his body.
At this time, she happened to find the object she was looking for, and that person was Bai Mengtan.
Standing on the body of the black panther, the leather whip in his hand waved unceremoniously towards Bai Mengtan.
Seeing that the whip was about to hit the handsome little boy next to Xia Yateng.
Xia Yeteng grabbed the whip with his bare hands, and pulled Xia Yirong with his hand, and Xia Yirong, who was standing on the black panther, lost his balance for a while, and fell into the crowd in a hurry.
"Summer Night, you are presumptuous."
His Majesty Yanbei, who was originally lazy to see this, was so angry that he kicked over the tea case in front of him.
The concubines who leaned next to him had never seen His Majesty so angry, and they hid aside in fear.
Qin Guifei stared at Xia Yirong with a vicious gaze, pulling Xia Yirong to the summer night vine on the ground.
Natsuyato was only born of a slut, and His Majesty never even gave her a title.
If it weren't for Xia Yeteng, who was still useful to Yan Beiguo, he would have let him solve it a long time ago.
"Huai'er, do you have anything to do?" Qin Guifei was the first to ignore it, and her own concubine image ran up to ask Xia Huairong if she was injured.
If this summer night vine dared to hurt her daughter in the slightest, she would definitely not be able to spare him.
Although His Majesty Yanbei didn't go to Xia Huairong's side, his eyes when he looked at Xia Huairong obviously revealed heartache.
The attitude towards Natsuya Vine is even more indifferent.
"Xia Yateng, Rong'er is your sister, you should let her no matter what."
Xia Yirong saw that he had his own parents, supported him behind his back, and stood up from the ground a little embarrassed.
His gaze fell fiercely on Xia Yeten's side, Bai Mengtan's body.
"Queen Mother, you don't know, it was she who killed Cousin Baohai, I made an appointment with Cousin Baohai tonight and asked him to bring me delicious food from outside the palace, but who knows, this wicked man has a bit of a look, and his cousin took a fancy to him and wanted to invite him to go, but he was a guest in the Qin Mansion, but he didn't want to be killed by a traitor on the way to the palace."
Qin Baohai died, Bai Mengtan was also very surprised when she got the news, she and Shizi's brother were just on the road, and they teased Qin Baohai a little, but they didn't expect him to die.
They don't carry this pot.
Xia Yanlie saw that everyone's attention shifted to Xia Yeteng's body.
took advantage of the situation to arrange Ge Yanran to his exclusive banquet seat, it seemed that Qin Guifei would not think of looking for him for a while.
Qin Baohai can be regarded as good, and the emperor's relatives will die if they say that they will die, which is indeed suspicious.
However, who called Xia Yeteng was reluctant to cooperate with him sincerely, Xia Yanlie was so eager to see the mentality of watching a good show, to see how Xia Yeteng should admit his innocence in front of Qin Guifei.
"Xia Yeteng, you are bold, as soon as you come back, you will hear it, there are rumors that you brought a male pet back in the Northern Qi Kingdom, and Lone originally just thought that you were just, on a whim, just playing. I didn't expect you to bring him to the palace banquet in front of so many people. His Majesty Yanbei waved his dragon robe, walked down the steps angrily with wide sleeves, stared at Xia Yeteng's side in disgust, and followed Bai Mengtan, who stood up.
As soon as Bai Mengtan saw His Majesty Yanbei, no matter what, this person in front of him was also the father of the elder brother of the prince.
Bai Mengtan hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty Yanbei, Xia Guan is not the male pet of the Night King's side. ”
Hearing the young man in front of him, claiming to be a subordinate official, His Majesty Yanbei couldn't help but glance at Bai Mengtan more.
This young man can be said to have red lips and white teeth, and his handsome appearance is not at all overwhelmed by his two most favored sons.
He waved his hand behind his back and said proudly, "What is it that you are not a male pet?" If you dare to call yourself a subordinate official, you are not afraid that the isolated horse will ask for your head here. ”
When Xia Yeto heard his father speak to Bai Mengtan in a threatening tone, he instinctively wanted to block in front of Bai Mengtan.
For him, it doesn't matter what others say about him, but if anyone dares to say that Bai Mengtan is wrong, even if he fights for his life, even if it is his father.
"Father also asks you to take it back, you just said unreasonable words." Natsuyoto's eyes became sharp, and the aura emanating from his whole body was like a beast that could get angry at any time.
so that all those present were afraid of it.
Natsuyoto has never been smiling, and he doesn't talk much to everyone, so everyone can't guess what he's thinking.
However, there is one thing, everyone present knows that Natsuyo on the battlefield is invincible and kills people without blinking.
Therefore, even if many people in the court do not like him, they dare not offend him.
"Natsuyoto, this is your father, how can you talk to your father like this." Xia Yirong broke free of Qin Guifei's arm.
Again, waving the leather whip in his hand, he obviously looked like he was not afraid of things.
Seeing her so rude and willful officials, Xia Yirong couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat.
The person she wants to offend is the Shura King, who is famous on the battlefield.
Even His Majesty Yanbei, for the sake of the soldiers and horses in Xia Yeteng's hands, I am afraid that he will be afraid of him by three points.
But as soon as Xia Yirong's words were finished, he was stared back by Xia Yeteng's unkind eyes.
For some reason, the masked Danfeng eyes instantly made her creepy when she saw her.
There was a chill down her spine, she had never seen it before, a person's eyes could make people so frightened.
Xia Yirong, who was stunned in place, trembled slightly with the hand holding the leather whip.
"It's the bad of the lower official, and please ask Your Majesty Yanbei to calm your anger, the lower official is the envoy sent by the Northern Qi State to talk about peace here." Bai Mengtan carefully pulled the sleeve of Xia Yateng's coat, afraid that he would do something irreparable on impulse.
Xia Yeteng understood what Bai Mengtan meant, and temporarily put away the anger in his eyes, but through his eyes, he warned Xia Yirong that if she dared to mess around, she would definitely not let her go easily.
"An envoy of the Northern Qi Kingdom."
When they heard the envoys of the Northern Kingdom of Yan, the officials of the Northern Qi Kingdom all showed expressions of surprise.
After all, the former Yanbei Kingdom has not been cheap in the Northern Qi Kingdom, and you must know that the original land in Yanbei is much poorer than that of the Northern Qi Kingdom. Fortunately, in recent years, due to the beauty of the heavens, the harvest of the people of the Northern Qi State has improved, and the grain in the treasury has gradually increased.
But in the future, everyone is not sure, maybe the harvest will be worse that year, in order for the Northern Qi Kingdom to survive for a long time, they will continue to invade other countries.
"Are you really an envoy of the Northern Qi Kingdom?"
His Majesty of Yanbei looked at Bai Mengtan with suspicion, and the other small countries on the border were already in his hands.
Now the only one who can compete with him is the Northern Qi Kingdom, but this time the capital of Qi was secretly captured by Xia Yanlie and them, since the Northern Qi Kingdom has sent envoys to sue for peace, it means that Bai Chenyi's old man began to fear him Yanbei, thus satisfying the vanity of His Majesty Yanbei.
