Chapter 178: The Great Feast Begins
"I don't know what's going to happen." Lou Wange's heart suddenly began to pwitch, and when she thought of the emperor who was alone, she prayed that there would be no accidents.
"Haimi's bad guy was taken away by you, even if those highnesses want to do something, it won't be too much, and the door master, didn't you arrange for the blood secrets to help each other secretly, and you can't set off any big waves, after all, the emperor is still there!" Danyu is very open-minded, Lou Wange's means are clear to him, how can he let the imperial capital have an accident.
"No, the imperial capital is far from being so simple, although the sea is sent to Dayuan City, I am afraid that he still has some minions, and Dongliu's stronghold in the imperial capital is definitely not only one in the South Pavilion, if they do anything at the summer banquet, we can't find out in advance. As for those few, the emperor handed over the summer banquet to them to organize, openly and secretly, they are mostly calculating and planning, and they wish that there was a mess in either side! These parties are intertwined, and tonight, must be unusual! Lou Wange leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes tiredly, at this time, the sky was far away, and she couldn't do anything, so she could only worry about it.
"Why don't you hurry up, or you will be in the imperial capital in ten days, sister, you can have a good rest during this time." Yunluo put a cloak on Lou Wange and said, he understood that when he arrived in the imperial capital, he was worried and worried every day and night, where would there be such a rest time now.
"I'm afraid it's impossible to rest, I'm afraid that on the way back, you will hear about the appearance of the murderous blood spirit in Wanning Villa."
"However, hasn't Shu Huan already told those sects not to spread the news of that day?"
"Look at the people of those sects, how many of them seem to be righteous men and gentlemen? They wish that the news would spread and cause turmoil in the rivers and lakes, and they would make a profit. I have read all the records sent by the emperor about the previous blood spirits, although this blood spirit has disappeared for a hundred years, but the deterrent power of the previous blood spirits in the northern moon is like a flood of beasts, even the armies of other countries will be afraid of the existence, not to mention the small rivers and lakes? That's why they won't be able to take advantage of me! Lou Wange was a little sarcastic.
"And what is this blood spirit?" Dan Yu asked puzzled.
"If I knew, why am I sitting here?" Lou Wange shrugged her shoulders, and a sea of snow suddenly appeared in her mind, the sky and the earth were the same color in the white vast, and there was only a scene of red plums in the snow, that place should be the final habitat of the blood spirit!
"Okay, send a letter to Midori and tell them to hurry up their journey, we still have to get to the imperial capital sooner."
"Yes."
Sure enough, as expected, the palace Fanghua Hall tonight can be described as wonderful, you sing and we appear, and the thoughts of each family are undoubtedly revealed at the banquet, everyone pretends to drink and promise, but in fact they are all watching the excitement, which side is the final winner is still unknown, but they understand that the dispute between several highnesses in this imperial capital is not only a summer banquet-
Not long after the feast began, the emperor was sitting on the main seat of the Fanghua Palace, with several servants beside him, drinking and eating, singing and dancing, he was full of food, his face was full of smiles, and he looked at the "performance" below with great interest.
After the dance, the emperor signaled for the silk and bamboo music to pause, picked up the wine glass, and said very happily to the hundreds of officials and ministers below, wives and daughters and their families: "Ladies and gentlemen, this banquet is held by several princes and my royal brothers, and it is the nature of a family banquet. ”
"Emperor Xie!" Everyone raised their wine glasses, watched the emperor drink the wine, and then drank the wine in the glass.
"Okay, I want to see, is there any of the programs prepared by the fifth child that I love "The Dance of Neon Clothes and Feathers"?" The emperor sat down with his sleeves swinged, looked at Beiliuyun and asked expectantly.
Beiliuyun was shocked, not to mention that he had come to the palace to ask the emperor if there was any program he wanted to watch, at that time the emperor said that everything was as usual, and he didn't care too much, he really arranged it according to the preferences of the officials and the consistent program of the royal banquet, and this neon dress and feather dance has long been circulated in books, and the dance of lost skills can no one in the world, at this time the emperor suddenly mentioned that he wanted to see the neon dress and feather dance, he had no preparation before, how to deal with it? If you honestly admit that you are not prepared, then wouldn't it make those people laugh at it.
was entangled, Bei Duqing, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly spoke: "Fifth brother, why are you stunned?" Father said that he wanted to see the neon dress and feather dance, why don't you hurry up and invite him up. "Everyone knows that the dance of neon clothes and feathers is obviously a test proposed by the emperor, if Beiliuyun does not come out with a show at this time, what kind of consequences will he face.
Beiliuyun lowered his head to think about the strategy, and suddenly glanced at the corner of a red coat not far behind him, and thought about it: "Father, there is no such thing in the world as a dance in neon clothes and feathers, it has long been lost, only in the ancient books There are still some small records, and the sons have already ordered it to go down, the Dongfang Xiu of the Jingwen family is the "first beauty in the imperial capital", and the singing and dancing are unparalleled in the world. As he spoke, he glanced at Dongfang Xiu behind him.
Dongfang Xiu understood, lifted his dress and walked to the middle of the hall to bow and bow: "Courtier's thin skills, please appreciate the emperor!" The emperor looked at Dongfang Xiu, who was kneeling in the hall, and nodded with a light smile.
After speaking, he saluted to several ministers, and signaled the bells and drums to play music, and then the beautiful melody sounded, the Oriental Show accompanied by the melody, the cloud sleeves swayed lightly, the slender waist twisted slowly, and the graceful posture can be seen between the dances, like a colorful butterfly fluttering, blooming with dazzling brilliance, the appearance is beautiful, the posture is outstanding, and today it is deliberately dressed up, wearing a red peony fairy gauze skirt, with her dancing fluttering and swinging, like smoke and xia, rippling into a blooming hibiscus, with a delicate smile on the face, It added a bit of charm and charm, and there were rumors that the neon clothes and feathers were exquisite, and the ministers were amazed and couldn't take their eyes off it.
Beiliuyun looked quite amazing, Dongfang Xiu's beauty and enchantment he knew, but it seemed that he had never appreciated her dancing so seriously, when I saw it today, it was really shocking, and I couldn't help but look a little fascinated, Dongfang Xiu's eyes glanced at his expression, and his heart was also very surprised, and he couldn't help dancing more happily, but suddenly there was a stabbing sound, it seemed that some instrument broke the strings, the music stopped instantly, Dongfang Xiu was dancing to the ** place, without music embellishment, she couldn't catch the rhythm in an instant, The tiptoes suddenly twisted, and the whole person fell to the ground.
"Xiuxiu-" didn't care about anything else, Beiliuyun subconsciously rushed up and helped her up: "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Dongfang Xiu shook his head, but his heart was warm.
"I begged my father for forgiveness, and my son didn't know why the music suddenly stopped, disturbing my father's interest." After asking Dongfang Xiu, Beiliuyun hurriedly admitted his mistake to the emperor.
"That's it, it's just that the people who play the performance are all selected by yourself, the pipa is broken, no wonder others, but this is a trivial matter, the Oriental girl's neon dress and feather dance is indeed beautiful, although I didn't have the opportunity to watch it, but it also took you a lot of effort, I am very satisfied, you are injured because of this, I want to reward you, say, what reward do you want?" The emperor looked at Dongfang Xiu and asked, he saw her interaction with Bei Liuyun just now, how could he not know what Dongfang Xiu wanted.
"This-the courtiers danced just to make the emperor happy, and they didn't dare to ask for any rewards." Dongfang Xiu lowered his head, but his eyes involuntarily looked at Beiliuyun.
"Father, Dongfang Xiu made a mistake in dancing, and his sons and daughters chose people inappropriately, disturbing the elegance of their father, and they should be punished!" Beiliuyun slightly guessed what the emperor and Dongfang Xiu meant, and was reluctant in his heart, so he quickly changed the topic of reward.
"Punishment, it should be punished, but what should be rewarded is still rewarded, I never reward easily, Dongfang Xiu's dancing posture is indeed quite impressive, since she doesn't want to say what reward she wants, then I will decide for myself, I just saw that you are both of the same age and temperament, and you seem to care for each other, how about - Dongfang Xiu, how about I promise you to the five princes?"
Rao knew this result, Dongfang Xiu was still taken aback, Bei Liuyun's attitude just now was that he didn't want to marry her at all, and now that the emperor asked again, how should she answer? couldn't help but look at Bei Liuyun again, but where would Bei Liuyun care about her, she was helpless, so she could only say: "Courtier, courtier-"
"What? Are you not satisfied with my reward? Or do you think my five princes are not worthy of you? The Emperor leaned over slightly and asked.
The courtiers didn't dare, the courtiers just felt that their father was getting older and lacking someone to take care of them, and the courtiers were the only daughter in the family, and they wanted to serve and take care of them by their father's side for a few more years, so they hesitated. It's not because-ask the emperor to take back his fate, it's because the courtiers are not worthy of the five princes. Dongfang Xiu was very uncomfortable, if she agreed to the emperor's marriage, Beiliuyun didn't know what she would think of her, for Beiliuyun, she would never agree to this marriage.
"Oh? It turned out to be a piece of filial piety, but the two of you are indeed a match made in heaven for talented women and women, so let's do it, I still promise you to the fifth child, but you can be filial to your filial piety with peace of mind, and you can marry again in two years. The emperor took a few steps back, leaving her time to do her filial piety, and he wanted to see what excuse he had this time.
"Father, it's not that the sons are unwilling, but the sons already have a favorite person, and they don't dare to delay the future of the Oriental girl!" Beiliuyun, who had been silent and forbearing, suddenly raised his head and said in a firm and simple tone.
This sentence instantly caused an uproar in the hall, and everyone knew that Beiliuyun was a playboy, and the words "already have a favorite" came out of his mouth, which was really surprising.
