Chapter 56: Toast
The banquet is inevitably staggered.
Wine strengthens the bear's guts, and after a few glasses of wine, the courage becomes bigger and bigger. There was even a whisper of discussion below.
Because of the general's mansion and the two Haotou of the Pingwang Mansion, Mu Xiwan's seat was very front, and even Feng Cheng was only separated by a few people.
I sat alone and watched the dance for a while, and at first I thought it was very interesting, but after a while, I felt a little similar. Mu Xiwan began to look around.
Seeing that most of the ministers' minds were no longer on the performance, they were whispering something to each other.
Suddenly, she saw Qi Ke beside her give a look to the person opposite, she guessed that this was probably the main event, so she suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the courtiers cherish the late, and dare to have a reluctant request." ”
Her voice was loud, and everyone present could hear it clearly, especially Qi Ke, who didn't know what she was going to do, and was even more stunned.
"Sorry for the night, if you have any requirements, I'll hear it."
Mu Xiwan glanced at the court officials and family members present, and finally lowered his head slightly, and said: "When my father was alive before, he told the Mu family to know how to serve the country loyally and remember kindness. Now although his father is under Jiuquan, he does not dare to forget his advice, so he wants to take this occasion to toast a glass of wine to his father's old department, but unfortunately Xiwan is a daughter's family, and he can't go to the same bloody man to kill the enemy and defend the country. ”
Her words were sonorous and powerful, and many of the old departments of General Mu's Mansion had red eyes.
"You have your father's flesh and blood, but unfortunately, it's not a man."
The emperor waved his hand, which was regarded as agreeing.
Mu Xiwan picked up his wine glass, and Mei'er followed behind her with a tray.
Standing in front of the first general, this is Vice General Xu, who followed her father on the battlefield and did not regret his death, and in the end, even if the general's mansion fell, he was loyal and courageous, and did not forget his original intention.
Mu Xi turned the wine glass into the evening, filled it for Vice General Xu, raised the wine glass high, and said: "Uncle Xu, my father often says that you are chivalrous and courageous, and you are a true blood man, so I will give you a glass at night." ”
Pick up the wine glass, cover it with your hand slightly, and the glass of wine is already in your stomach.
Vice General Xu couldn't help but have red eyes, they were all rough people who went to the battlefield, and they couldn't see any touching scenes.
"General Mu is a hero I have admired all my life, and you are his only daughter, if there is any help in the future, just look for me, your name of Mu Xi Late will always work with me."
He patted his chest as he spoke.
"I'm sorry to write it down." Mu Xiwan sheltered slightly, which can be regarded as a sign of gratitude.
Seven old subordinates walked in a row, and Mu Xiwan was already a little upset at this time, and was supported by Mei'er to return to his seat. This can be regarded as a depression in her heart.
Among these people, most of them followed their father's life, but after all, they couldn't see through the conspiracy of King Ping's father and son, so that these people could not die well.
"Miss?"
After helping Mu Xiwan to sit down, Mei'er was a little worried and called softly, but Mu Xiwan gently waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.
"Hahaha, I regret that I am a woman late, but I also have my family and country in my heart, let me wait for men to be ashamed, at this time, I can only imitate my sister in the evening, and I salute all heroes."
After seeing Mu Xiwan sit down, Qi Ke suddenly got up, but he found a good excuse and saluted those people back one by one.
It's just that he didn't know that those old subordinates of General Mu drank the antidote in the last glass of wine.
Because of the amount of wine she had just drunk, Mu Xiwan felt a little dizzy even when she was sitting, she shook her head slightly, and suddenly saw that everyone's eyes fell on her.
What's wrong?
"Miss, did everyone recommend you to dance?"
Mei'er was a little worried, and quietly reminded her in her ear.
Mu Xiwan came to his senses, and he had just forgotten the highlight of today's banquet because of the things of those old departments.
He knocked his head with his hand, and without pretentiousness, he stood up like this.
It was accompanied by a round of applause.
Vaguely, I still seem to hear someone praise what is worthy of being the daughter of a general, and her demeanor is still the same.
She smiled.
Get up and come to the center of the field, take a deep breath, there are people in the palace who can accompany her, this is not to worry.
Closing her eyes slightly, she seemed to return to ten years ago, when her mother danced in front of her eyes before the flowers and under the moon.
Relaxed his body, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his arms seemed to be weak and boneless, and they swayed like that.
"Cherish the night, you must remember, dancing is like being a man, and you must not be ostentatious in doing things."
Mother's teachings rang in my ears.
Hook your feet, twist your waist, and lower your body, as if you want to hug something, but your body keeps retreating.
Mu Xiwan's eyes were closed, and from beginning to end, he was immersed in his own small world and couldn't extricate himself.
It seemed that she had just drunk her head, and when she jumped up and landed, her feet were unstable, her body shook a few times, and she was about to fall, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It can be seen that she turned in a circle, stabilized her center of gravity, pinched the pattern with both hands on her chest, turned around and around, and finally as the music gradually became intense, her body became lower and lower.
She had already dressed up, but now it was like Chang'e, who had taken the pill, was about to soar, which made people crazy in their hearts. Such a beautiful woman, how good it should be to stay in the world, why bother thinking about where to return to the cold Guanghan Palace?
When her last action was over, everyone had not yet woken up from it, and the afterglow stayed in the bottom of their hearts for a long time and slowly recalled.
Mu Xiwan quietly took the blessing, and then slowly walked back to his seat and sat down.
At this time, everyone was immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves, but only one person found that when she opened her eyes after the dance, her face was covered with tears.
Feng Cheng also sat in the lower seat, and his eyes always followed Mu Xiwan.
"The only daughter of the general?"
He muttered in his mouth, feeling more and more that there were more and more things that she couldn't see through on this Mu Xiwan.
As a woman, she can say such heroic words, and she can toast the old department for her father at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, one by one, and she doesn't say anything when she drinks it.
And what about that dance, what old memories did she remind?
In order not to be seen crying, he finished dancing this dance with his eyes closed.
Sometimes tough, sometimes tender, sometimes strong, sometimes cunning.
Which one is the real you?
What kind of outstanding talents are these generals and their wives who can cultivate such a woman, and if they hadn't died for some reason, how long would they have to hide her?
Interesting.
Mu Xiwan naturally didn't know what Feng Chengyi was thinking at this time, and then sat down, she had quietly wiped away the tears on her face, and looked at everything around her as if it hadn't happened.
