Chapter 3: The Night Banquet

The night was slightly cool, and the palace banquet was slowly carried out in the Yuanfu Palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officials sat separately, and the palace music was everywhere.

"General Xiao's return from Desheng is the blessing of my business country, with a pillar of talent like General Xiao, my dynasty will surely prosper!" The emperor praised loudly and did not hesitate.

Xiao Yan had a shallow smile on his face, and stood up, "The emperor praises falsely, it is the duty of Weichen to protect the family and defend the country." ”

The deep voice fell, and Feng Yu, who was dressed in a crimson cloud silk palace dress, looked at him with admiration, the dark clothes lined him with a bright wind and moon, and his handsome side face became more and more distinct in the candlelight.

She involuntarily curled her lips.

This scene fell in Li Chengdong's eyes, he clenched the wine glass in his hand, angry, gritted his teeth and stared at Xiao Yan secretly.

"Your Majesty, in order to celebrate General Xiao's triumphant return, Weichen specially found a dancing girl." The flattering civil official clapped his palms as he spoke, and Xue Pingsu, who was dressed in a light pink Luo skirt, slowly came out from behind the screen.

Feng Yu sat on the seat and slowly turned the wine glass in her hand, and her eyes moved to her.

The neckline is slightly lowered, and the face makeup is bewitching.

All the civil and military attachΓ©s looked straight in the eyes, and Feng Yu swept it lightly, only feeling extremely ironic.

Yale rose and lingered between the palaces, Xue Pingsu's eyes flowed, he took off his veil, and his water sleeves flew out along Gongle, his waist was soft like water, and his eyes were burning and seductive. Suddenly rose into the air like a goddess scattering flowers, and landed steadily in a few circles, like a dust fairy.

Feng Yu lazily propped her head and glanced at Li Chengdong on the side, only to see that his eyes were blurred, staring at Xue Pingsu for a moment, eager to stick it.

Coldly hooked her lips, she rubbed her wine glass with her fingertips, and her eyes were full of hatred.

In the flipping of his mind, Xue Pingsu danced to the end, and he was shocked, and even the emperor was impressed.

"Well, what a good jump! General Xiao, I see that there is no concubine in your mansion, why don't I give this girl to you? The Emperor asked with a smile on his face.

Xiao Yan respectfully refused: "Wechen Xie Emperor is compassionate, but compared with the personal relationship of his children, Weichen is more like defending the country and protecting the safety of the emperor and this territory." ”

"It is important to protect the family and defend the country, but General Xiao should also have his own life, even if he doesn't talk about his children's personal affairs, this dancing girl can also relieve General Xiao's loneliness, what does General Xiao think?"

Hearing the emperor comforting Xiao Yan like this, Xue Pingsu quietly hooked the corners of his lips, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

Feng Yu on the banquet had already seen everything, and she said shallowly, "This dancer's dance is indeed a good dance, but does my father know what kind of dance this is?" ”

One sentence instantly shifted the focus, and a hint of playfulness flashed in Xiao Yan's dark eyes.

The Emperor looked at her puzzled.

Feng Yu's face was cold, "This dance is called Longhuai Dance, which was created by Zhang Guifei, the favorite concubine of the first emperor, this demon concubine charmed the first emperor with this dance, colluded with the foreign ministers to rebel in one fell swoop, and finally killed the first emperor, and everyone was punished!" After the words fell, she turned her head to look at Xue Pingsu, "You knowingly committed a crime at the palace banquet, what is your intention?" And what is the crime? ”

Every word, every word, loud and sound.

Xue Pingsu's face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt down in a panic, "Princess, the grass people have no dissenting intentions!" If the grass people know that this dragon dance was created by the demon concubine, the grass people will never dance, ask the princess to see it! ”

The panicked and trembling voice fell into her ears, and Feng Yu suddenly remembered Xue Ping's arrogant appearance in her previous life, forcing her into a desperate situation, and her eyes were cold.

"Mingjian? If we don't punish you harshly today, if someone makes a mistake in the future, won't it be a mess? She lowered her eyes and stared at Xue Pingsu, hiding her hatred.

Xue Ping was so frightened that he shook his head again and again, tears fell frequently, and he looked pitiful, "Ask the princess to let the slave and maid live, the slave and maid will never dare anymore, no one can be a saint or sage, please forgive the grass people this time!" ”

She kept kowtowing as she spoke, trembling all over.

Seeing this, Feng Yu's eyes were colder and deeper.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that today is General Xiao's reception and dust washing banquet, if the interest of the emperor and General Xiao is disturbed by other things, won't this palace banquet lose its taste?" Li Chengdong stood up with the appearance of a gentle son.

The corners of Feng Yu's lips hooked slightly, and she looked at him with a sneer, "Then Li Xiu thinks it's best to deal with this matter?" ”

Li Chengdong was bent on saving the beauty, but he didn't find that the emperor was here now, but Fengyu asked him how to deal with it, which was simply the above crime.

He said earnestly: "According to Weichen, this woman is really unintentional, if the emperor pardons this woman, presumably the people will love the emperor more in their hearts, and it is also for General Xiao who returned victorious." ”

Xiao Yan, who had never spoken out, oozed a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, "In the name of the emperor, he guarded the border pass, but now he needs to accumulate virtue when he returns from victory, Li Xiushu told me, what is the reason?" ”

At the mention of the emperor, Li Chengdong's face froze.

Without waiting for him to argue, Xiao Yan sneered coldly and continued: "If I remember correctly, Li Xiushu not only saw this dancing girl before, but also made a painting for her, you are hanging the princess on the one hand, and teasing this girl on the other hand, what does Li Xiushu want to do?" ”

As soon as these words came out, a trace of surprise flashed in Feng Yu's eyes, how could he know so clearly?

Li Chengdong couldn't hold his face, "General Xiao, you have to talk about evidence!" ”

Xiao Yan's face was cold, and he sneered deeply, "Whether there is one, you will find out if you search it." ”

Hearing this, Li Chengdong's face suddenly turned pale.

The emperor couldn't see Li Chengdong's thoughts, and immediately Long Yan was furious, "Come on, take these two people down and punish them for thirty years!" ”

The guards quickly came to take them into custody.

Li Chengdong chuckled in his heart, struggling to explain, "Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged, ask the emperor to learn from it!" ”

Feng Yu looked at the dog man and woman coldly, her heart was happy, and the game had just begun.

As the others faded away, the atmosphere quieted down again, and after a few moments, she got up and left the banquet.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan at the banquet lowered his eyes to hide the coldness and took a sip of cold wine.

The moonlight paved the bluestone path, and Feng Yu saw Li Chengdong who was forcibly held on a bench not far away, and a cold thorn crossed her eyes.

"Princess, princess!" Li Chengdong struggled to look at her and called out loudly.

Feng Yu walked over and sighed deliberately, "I didn't expect that the person in Li Xiu's heart was Miss Xue, it seems that we are really destined." The last thing I can do for you is to ask them to do a little bit. ”

Shaking his head as he spoke, he was about to leave, but the palace skirt was grabbed by him suddenly, "Princess, princess, everything was a joke of the minister before, princess, don't take it to heart." The minister thinks about the princess day and night, the princess has long taken root in the minister's heart, the minister has a deep love for the princess, and there will never be a second woman in his heart! ”

Feng Yu frowned and looked at him, quite aggrieved, "Then why do you want to paint Miss Xue?" ”

Li Chengdong wanted to ask for her favor at the moment, and put the responsibility on Xue Pingsu, "That's all because she seduced me, she put something in my wine, if I don't want to paint for her, she will ruin the minister's innocence, how can the minister let her succeed?" The minister likes the princess, and the innocence must be left to the princess. ”

"You're spewing blood!" Xue Pingsu, who was being beaten on the side, gritted his teeth and glared at him, "Although I am a dancer, I never despise myself, if it wasn't for Lord Li's admiration for my beauty that day, how could I stay and let you paint?" Master Li's skin is thicker than the city wall! ”

"You dare to speak outrageously as a lowly Qinglou woman? The official is kind enough to intercede for you, but he doesn't want you to be such a dirty person, so the official shouldn't pity you, not even a single hair of the princess! ”

Xue Pingsu understood the threat in his words, and trembled with anger, "Am I dirty? Li Chengdong, you are a well-dressed beast, what are you pretending to be tall! ”

Seeing the vicious attacks of the two of you, Feng Yu stood aside, only feeling very happy.
