(Hero's Tomb Chapter 6) palace banquet turmoil
"Qi Yue, you said that the civil and military officials are here, so why hasn't Princess Changping come yet?
At night, the Royal Palace.
In order to catch the wind for the princess of Changping who came to make peace, all the famous officials in the court came to the Heqing Hall according to the hour.
After the palace maid who followed the guide found a place to sit down, Xie Yanfeng looked around for a while, and then turned his head sideways and said to Nangong Qiyue, who was sitting on top of him.
"Although Princess Changping is here to kiss, she is also a distinguished guest, maybe she is with the emperor at this time. β
After looking around at the people in the hall who were talking to each other and chatting in a low voice, Nangong Qiyue sighed secretly.
Alas, instead of staying on such occasions, it is better to go back and practice martial arts!
"Yanfeng, remember to say nothing later, if the emperor doesn't ask you!"
Hearing Xie Yanfeng's voice, Xie Yuanbo, the Marquis of Anping, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly turned his head and said.
"Oops, got it, got it. β
Looking at Xie Yuanbo, who was full of worries about himself, Xie Yanfeng muttered.
"Dad, I'm not a kid anymore. β
"Do you know you're not a kid?"
Glaring at Xie Yanfeng, Xie Yuanbo looked at Nangong Qiyue and Xie Runzhu who was sitting on the other side of Xie Yanfeng.
"Qi Yue, Runzhu, you two are optimistic about him, don't let him cause any trouble tonight. β
"Good. β
responded in unison, Nangong Qiyue and Xie Runzhu both looked at Xie Yanfeng with a sad face funny.
β......β
Glancing at Nangong Qiyue and Xie Runzhu dissatisfied, Xie Yanfeng opened the folding fan and shook the folding fan in his hand.
......
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
After another quarter of an hour, accompanied by the loud voice of the chamberlain, Emperor Xiao Zhanqi, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, slowly walked into the hall surrounded by the chamberlain and the palace maid.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live. β
After Xiao Zhanqi walked to the main seat and sat down, the officials quickly got up and knelt down and shouted long live to him.
"Zhongqing is flat. β
Raising his hand slightly, Xiao Zhanqi looked at everyone in the hall with a smile on his face.
"The main purpose of this banquet tonight is to catch the wind for Princess Changping of Lishan Kingdom, don't be restrained!"
"Yes. β
The crowd returned to their seats. Then the imperial historian Chen Baiqing asked: "Your Majesty, this Princess Changping has not shown up until now, I don't know what it means?"
"Oh, just now the maid of Princess Changping came to report that the princess was unwell because of the fatigue of the boat, so she might come later. β
Looking at the empty seat under him, although Xiao Zhanqi said with a smile on his face, he was a little unhappy in his heart because of the delay in the future of Princess Changping.
This princess of Changping is also a princess of a country no matter what, how can she be so rude?
"Someone ...... coming"
"Changping is late, and I ask the emperor to forgive me. β
When Xiao Zhanqi frowned, and just wanted to order the chamberlain to see when the princess of Changping would come over, a voice that was not twisted and quite bold suddenly came from the door of the palace, and then immediately after, a woman in a red dress and a pretty posture walked in unhurriedly.
"Hahaha, it's okay, the princess's body is okay?"
Now that the person came, Xiao Zhanqi had no choice but to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"If you still feel unwell, why don't you send the imperial doctor to the princess?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, that's not necessary. β
Under the leadership of the palace maid, he walked to the vacant seat under Xiao Zhanqi and sat down, Changping first glanced meaningfully at Nangong Qiyue, who was staring at him like a chicken, and then looked at Xiao Zhanqi who was at the top.
"Hey, did Princess Changping look at me just now?"
Seeing Changping's gaze fall on his side, Xie Yanfeng naturally thought that she was looking at herself. So he turned his head a little excitedly, Xie Yanfeng just wanted to get away with Nangong Qiyue, but he didn't want him to turn his head and see that Nangong Qiyue's expression was obviously wrong.
"Hey, Qi Yue, what's wrong? Could it be that you are fascinated by the beauty of this Princess Changping? Tsk, but the appearance of this Princess Changping is really compared to more than half of the famous ladies in the capital!"
β......β
Ignoring Xie Yanfeng, who ridiculed him, Nangong Qiyue still couldn't come back to his senses for a long time in great shock.
This...... Why did Yan Lingge, the famous "thief god", turn into the princess of Changping in Lidan?
Could it be that this Princess Changping just looks very similar to Yan Lingge?
No, no, no, no, she ...... She obviously deliberately looked at herself just now, which means that she recognized herself, but she had never met Princess Changping of Lidan Kingdom, so ...... So...... She doesn't look very similar to Yan Lingge, but, she, is Yan Lingge!
This...... What the hell is going on?
Staring straight at Changping, who seemed to have a good conversation with the emperor, Nangong Qiyue thought quickly.
It is said on the rivers and lakes that Yan Lingge is unknown, and no one has ever heard that she is a person from Lidan Country, and she is actually the Changping princess of Lidan Country who can write and martial arts and lead troops to kill the enemy?
"Qi Yue, what's wrong?"
Because of Xie Yanfeng's voice, Xie Runzhu also turned his head to look at Nangong Qiyue, who was a little stunned on his face.
"But what's wrong with this Princess Changping?"
She ...... She ......"
I don't know if I felt my gaze, Changping, who was talking to the emperor, suddenly turned his head, and Nangong Qiyue was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
"She'......"
"What's wrong with her?"
I have known Nangong Qiyue for so many years, and I have never seen him have such a complicated look on his face, so Xie Runzhu is also rarely curious.
"She is Yan Lingge. β
Secretly raised his head and saw that Princess Changping was still talking to the emperor, Nangong Qiyue lowered her voice and said to Xie Yanfeng.
"What did you say?"
Listening to Nangong Qiyue's words, Xie Yanfeng was shocked, and in addition to being surprised, when Nangong Qiyue and Xie Runzhu had not yet reacted, his four words "What do you say" seemed extremely abrupt in the relatively quiet Heqing Palace.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing Xie Yanfeng's voice full of surprise and disbelief, Xiao Zhanqi, who was still condolences to Princess Changping, asked with a smile.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, hehe. β
Knowing that his reaction just now was too big, Xie Yanfeng hurriedly bowed down and saluted Xiao Zhanqi after receiving his father's warning and threatening eyes.
"The emperor forgives the sins. β
"Haha, the son of Yan Feng has always been free and uninhibited, and his temperament is very good, how can I blame him?"
After waving his hand at Xie Yanfeng to signal him to sit down, Xiao Zhanqi ordered the attendants to pass the meal, and then, one after another, the rare dishes were served to the table in front of everyone by the palace maids who rushed in.
"Yanfeng, what's the matter with you?"
Seeing that Xiao Zhanqi didn't care about Xie Yanfeng's actions just now, although Xie Yuanbo breathed a sigh of relief, he still turned around and whispered at Xie Yanfeng.
"I didn't ...... All right. β
Xie Yanfeng lowered his head, not daring to look at Xie Yuanbo.
It's over, go back tonight, Daddy will definitely punish me!
"Master Xie, I couldn't watch the style of speech just now. β
Seeing Xie Yanfeng's appearance of frosting eggplant, although Nangong Qiyue felt funny in his heart, he was still a little worried that Xie Yuanbo would reprimand Xie Yanfeng after he went back, so he smiled at Xie Yuanbo, who was frowning, and said.
"It's also my fault that I didn't look at him just now. β
Glancing at Nangong Qiyue, who seemed to be holding back a smile, Xie Runzhu smiled, and then quickly straightened his expression and said to Xie Yuanbo, who was still a little angry.
"That's it. β
understood that Nangong Qiyue and Xie Runzhu meant that they didn't want to reprimand Xie Yanfeng anymore, so Xie Yuanbo glared at Xie Yanfeng, who was still bowing his head, and said, "Before the reception banquet is over, you two will give me a good look at him!"
"Yes. β
"Yes. β
Hurriedly responded to Xie Yuanbo, and after seeing Xie Yuanbo turn his head and sit down, Xie Runzhu looked at Xie Yanfeng who was sitting there honestly with some puzzlement.
"Yanfeng, what did Qi Yue tell you just now that surprised you so much?"
"Well, I'll tell you when the feast is over. β
muttered quietly, Xie Yanfeng didn't dare to speak out loud anymore.
Then in the following time, this reception banquet passed in Nangong Qiyue's doubts, Xie Runzhu's doubts, and Xie Yanfeng's fear.
