Volume 1 The Age Kite Chapter 56 Birthday Banquet
"Brother Zhao? What are you doing standing here? ”
Cai Wenxi walked behind Zhao Hexuan, wondering why he was standing behind Zhu Xiuyun, seeing Xian Yufei and Wan Qian Huting go back to the high hall where the royal family was located, nodded in response, and then turned his head to look, Zhu Xiuyun turned around, looked at Zhao Hexuan quietly, the atmosphere was not quite right, and slowly went to Cai Wenxin's side to ask, looking at the eyes of the two of them as if they were looking at something strange.
Cai Wenxin shook her head slightly and said that she didn't know, but last time, she felt that something was wrong with the two of them, so she asked the guards to check, but when she came back, she reported that they had no intersection, which also made her confused.
Cai Wenxi sighed indifferently, she didn't have time to watch their eyes fight, and she wasn't interested in what they had to do, so she turned her head and was about to go to the high hall.
Used for the emperor's birthday banquet in the west hall part of the inner and outer halls, the outer hall is slightly smaller, used as the palace people dancing and so on to prepare, the inner hall is divided into three orders, the first order is higher than the first order, the highest is the high hall, the middle is the emperor's seat, both sides are the position of the queen and the most favored concubine, I heard that the concubines fought for this position for this period of time, eighteen kinds of martial arts are used, all make people look forward to the position of the final flower.
The remaining seats in the high hall were not reserved for the rest of the concubines, but were arranged for the royal families of other countries and the royal relatives of Ling Kite, and the concubines who did not sit next to the emperor could only go down one step and sit in the middle hall, which may also be the reason why they tried their best, because the middle hall is not only them, but also the two families of the Cai family and the Chang family, and the courtiers sit together, which is estimated to make them feel uncomfortable.
The rest of the officials and their families are on the last level, the low hall, the inner hall is very large, the whole seat is a hundred and ten people, there is a lot of space in the center of the three halls, and more than 20 dancing girls can also dance, it is estimated that only the musician suffers, and when the music is played, he must use all his strength, or the people in the corners of the hall will not be able to hear clearly.
Cai Wenxi lifted her skirt and walked towards the high hall, and a voice from behind her stopped her, and she turned her head to see that it was Zhu Xiuyun who greeted her.
"I haven't seen Miss Cai just now, I thought Miss Cai was going to have a birthday banquet in the future, but now I've seen it, and I've been thinking about Miss Cai's injury, I don't know if it's all right?"
Cai Wenxi was stunned when she heard this, she didn't understand how Zhu Xiuyun knew about his injury, and it took a few seconds to remember that Quege had reported to her, Zhu Xiuyun came to visit her, and said that she admired her very much, smiled and thanked, said that the injury was almost healed, and immediately turned around and continued to move forward, but did not see Zhao Hexuan's angular face was very black.
As a result, he was grabbed by his wrist before he took a step, and his mood was a little impetuous, and when he turned his head, Zhao Hexuan's thin lips were closed, his face was complicated, and he didn't know what to do.
Cai Wenxi glanced around, a few young ladies with sharp eyes had already seen their movements, pulled the people next to them who were whispering, raised their eyes again to meet Zhao Hexuan's dark eyes, twisted their wrists and finally pulled out.
"Brother Zhao, what's the matter? We are in the palace, and there are many people, so it is better to avoid them. ”
When the words fell, Zhao Hexuan coughed lightly and retreated, his face was still complicated, and he was about to speak after thinking about it, when a sharp and loud voice sounded at the door of the hall.
"The emperor has arrived~"
Everyone immediately bowed to the door of the palace, Cai Wenxi buried her head and quietly gritted her teeth, the emperor came up too quickly, so let's go back to the seat and sit honestly.
The emperor of Ling Kite seemed to be very happy today, but he didn't know that the dragon robe on his body was reflected, a face was shining with golden light, and he was obviously more than half a hundred years old but he was very energetic, and he raised his hand to ask everyone to be exempt, and slowly walked to his dragon chair.
The master came, and everyone stopped gossiping, and quickly sat down, waiting for the emperor to speak, Cai Wenxi glanced at Zhao Hexuan deeply, and then glanced at Zhu Xiuyun, and complained a little in her heart that they were delaying her time, and sighed lightly and had to find another opportunity, seeing that the seat of the most favored concubine was sat by Concubine Zhu Ling, and turned her eyes to look at Zhu Qichang and sneered, no wonder he was so bold, provoking this and instigating that, there is Concubine Zhu Ling blowing the wind in her ears by the emperor's side, but she is not fearless.
Seeing that there was an old man with gray hair beside Zhu Qichang, the Zhu family didn't find a match after a circle in front of him, so he leaned sideways and asked in Cai Wenxin's ear, and saw his sister hiding her face and snickering.
"That's the Taishi, the teacher of the emperor and the prince, led by Lord Zhao Kuiyuan, today's birthday banquet has this old gentleman to fix him, this old fox can't do anything."
looked at Zhu Qichang again, the face was indeed a little reluctant, followed the slight hook of the corners of his mouth, saw the emperor stand up with the wine glass, and didn't listen to a word, so he followed everyone to echo and drink, down his throat, his eyes lit up, stared at the wine glass and wine jug, and poured another glass in his hand.
The eunuch on the side spoke again, the birthday banquet finally began, the silk and bamboo played, the song and dance started, the people in the palace stood up one by one and said the congratulations that had been drafted in their hearts, the wine was held up to respect the emperor and his colleagues, and he didn't dare to make a mistake in his heart during the gossip, and he didn't dare to be so excited about the jubilant scene, forgetting his identity and the situation in the DPRK and China, didn't he?
The royal family of other countries is not a dry birthday congratulatory for the officials of the age kite, and they have already ordered their subordinates to wait in the outer hall with congratulatory gifts, and they entered the hall while talking, which also opened the eyes of everyone in the palace.
The congratulatory gift of decay was very different, and pots and pots of strange plants and animals were carried up, which frightened everyone in the hall, and the two tall magic vines grew in a strange posture, and the scarlet breath slowly emerged from the rhizome, and a flying insect rushed into his domain by mistake, and in an instant, it disappeared completely.
Xian Yufei introduced this terrifying birthday gift with a lively smile and some excitement, and the five princes sat aside and stared carefully, for fear that she would say something unruly, and catch the signs that Xian Yufei was about to deviate, and immediately stood up and continued to introduce, saying that although this magic vine looks terrifying and uses animals as nutrients, the breath it exudes is beneficial to the human body, strengthens the body, and prolongs life.
Let everyone be amazed, and also let the Cai couple and Cai Wenxi sigh that the specialties brought by Xian Yufei before are really nothing compared to these.
The gift of the water chestnut is very rare, and all kinds of treasures that are only known for their names are carried out in the same way, and the already splendid inner hall is even more colorful with all kinds of treasures, which is also in line with the reputation of the water chestnut to the outside world, and there is money!
However, the most sincere congratulatory gift fell Hui Hao, and all the congratulatory gifts of the water chestnut were moved down, but I didn't see Hui Hui's congratulatory gift moved up, only to see the three princes of Hui Hao standing up to congratulate him on his birthday, and after a congratulatory speech, he only pulled out a scroll from his sleeve and offered it with both hands, everyone was shocked, secretly speculating, and then watching Emperor Ling Yuan open the scroll, his cloudy eyes lit up, and he smiled.
"The third prince of Hui Hao, this Hui Hao's birthday gift is really a bit precious, which makes the widow how to accept it."
"Emperor Ling Yuan doesn't have to be like this, it's just three cities on the border of Hui Yuan, there is nothing to worry about, the diplomatic relations between the two countries have always been very good, my father wants to come, maybe I hope that our two countries will have a friendship that lasts forever!"
The slightly closed eyes flashed with a strange light, the corners of the mouth were raised in a perfect arc, the handsome skin and magnetic voice successfully hooked the hearts of the girls in the lower hall, Chang Hanxiao, who was sitting opposite Cai Wenxin, put down the chopsticks in his hand and carefully observed the three princes of Hui Hao, however, the hearts of the Cai sisters were still in their chests, Cai Wenxin's eyes were taken away by the corrupt congratulatory gifts and have not yet returned, and Cai Wenxi has met good wine, how to let it go, cup after cup, when it is drunk or not, it has already been a little drunk.
