Because Duan Kongqing was confined, there was no him at this banquet.

Duan Tangtang twisted a piece of pastry from time to time, eating it in small bites, his eyes going back and forth between the emperor and Princess Qinghui.

Duan Ruiyun's eyes were empty, and he looked like he was preoccupied.

The emperor and the queen glanced at each other, the two smiled at each other and nodded slightly, and then turned their heads to concentrate on the song and dance.

A banquet, each with his own heart.

The emperor suddenly raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "It's rare that Princess Qinghui has come from thousands of miles away, and everyone respects her." ”

Everyone also raised their glasses: "To Princess Qinghui." ”

The concentration of the wine is not high, and the entrance is mellow, Duan Tangtang drank it all, and smacked his mouth after drinking.

Princess Qinghui also raised her wine glass and drank it all, looking at the weak Sven's appearance, she didn't expect her to be so arrogant.

After drinking, Princess Qinghui walked up to the palace, "Your Majesty, our Hui people have a dance called the Drunken Sword Dance, you must not have seen it, let Qinghui present this dance for you." ”

"Oh? I would like to see it. ”

"Qinghui is ugly."

The dancing Maiko all withdrew, and the musicians stopped playing, and the musicians brought by Princess Qinghui from the Hui played music, and a Hui man held a sword in both hands to her.

Qinghui took the sword with one hand, closed his eyes in the hall and stood for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and began to wave the sword in his hand.

As the music fell, Qinghui also withdrew the sword and stood behind her, and the closing action was smooth and amazing.

After the dance, the hall was silent for a while.

"Good!"

The emperor was the first to react and applauded, and the other people in the hall suddenly woke up and echoed it.

The emperor said: "Today I have opened my eyes, thanks to the blessing of Princess Qinghui, I also enjoyed such a wonderful drunken sword dance." ”

Qinghui leaned over slightly and said, "The emperor has won the award." ”

Except for Princess Qinghui's amazing dance, the banquet then seemed boring, in order to find a little clue Duan Tangtang, he held his head constantly nodding until the end.

Just when Duan Tangtang thought that there was nothing to gain, the emperor suddenly spoke.

"Princess Qinghui has just arrived, and she must have never been to many places in the Qiang Kingdom," the emperor said: "Second child." ”

Duan Ruiyun's mind was still there, and he was suddenly called, and he came back to his senses at once, "Erchen is here." ”

The emperor said: "This task will be handed over to you, and you will take Qinghui to have a good time outside the palace." ”

"Yes."

Out of the palace? Lonely men and widows?

Intuition told Duan Tangtang that his father's arrangement was not so simple.

So, when Duan Ruiyun took Princess Qinghui out of the palace to play, she also secretly followed behind them.

After leaving the palace, Duan Ruiyun dutifully took Princess Qinghui, Princess Qinghui seemed to be very interested in the stalls of the vendors on the street, touch here, look there.

Duan Tangtang followed them like a thief.

"Sugar gourd, selling sugar gourd, a string of ...... for three cents"

A shout attracted the attention of Princess Qinghui, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Duan Ruiyun away, "Accompany me to take a look there." ”

"Hello, what is this?" Qinghui walked up to the vendor selling sugar gourds and asked.

The peddler was surprised: "Girl, even a three-year-old child knows that this is a sugar gourd, but you don't know?" ”

Qinghui said: "I'm not from Qiang, we don't have such a thing as a sugar gourd." ”

The peddler said, "Then it's no wonder. Girl, this sugar gourd is sour and sweet, but delicious, do you want to buy a few skewers? ”

"How much?" As he spoke, he found the silver taels on his body.

"I'll give it."

Princess Qinghui was looking for it, but Duan Ruiyun took a step faster and gave the vendor a piece of broken silver.

It was his smallest amount of money, but it was still too much, enough to buy all the sugar gourds from the vendor.

In the end, Duan Ruiyun's hands were full of sugar gourds, and Princess Qinghui walked forward with a bunch of food.

Duan Tangtang, who was following them, couldn't help but drool, she also wanted to eat sugar gourds a little......

Then, Duan Tangtang gave himself a slap.

What to eat, she didn't come with her to eat sugar gourds.

After eating a bunch of sugar gourds, Princess Qinghui saw a group of people gathered around a stall in front of her.

"I'm sorry to let me go, I'm sorry to ......"

Relying on her thin body, Princess Qinghui squeezed into the innermost, and Duan Ruiyun was abandoned by her on the periphery of the crowd.

Duan Tangtang couldn't see her on tiptoe, so he simply went to a wonton shop next to him to sit and rest, and ordered a bowl of wontons by the way, she was also a little hungry after following her for so long.

"What is this?" After squeezing in, the novelty in front of her made Qinghui curious.

I saw an old man holding a spoon, the spoon was a brown viscous liquid, the old man took a wooden skewer and put it on the white paper, the spoon was slightly tilted, the liquid flowed out, the old man skillfully waved the spoon, and used it to draw a lively rabbit, and then handed it to a child, the child took it happily, and then left with the adults in the family.

The enthusiastic people around her explained to her: "This is a sugar painting, boiling sugar into a sugar solution, you can use the sugar solution to draw the pattern you want at will, and make it look good and delicious." ”

"Wow!" After hearing this, Qinghui looked eager to try, and looked at the old man expectantly, "Can I try it?" ”

The old man's weather-beaten face left wrinkles carved by the years, and there was an amiable smile on his face, "Of course you can." ”

As he spoke, he handed the spoon to Qinghui.

"Thank you." Qinghui took the spoon, thought for a moment, and then began to draw.

On the last stroke, Qinghui said happily: "Okay! ”

The people around her looked at what she had drawn and pondered for a long time.

What are these four different things......

Qinghui's sugar painting has a round body and a round head, but they can barely tell that she is drawing a four-legged animal with a tail, but they really can't tell what it is.

The old man asked hesitantly, "What are you painting?" ”

Qinghui said proudly: "It's my horse, it's called Ayako, it's usually smart and majestic, I paint it beautifully." ”

"Good, good-looking." The old man said with a smile.

The people around me didn't speak strangely, this thing...... Where is it beautiful.

Duan Ruiyun couldn't squeeze in, so he could only wait for her outside. Standing there bored, after a while, the sugar gourd in his hand attracted several children to watch, and the children bit their fingers, kept their saliva, and looked at him with such quiet eyes...... Sugar gourd in hand.

Duan Ruiyun: "......"

Being surrounded by a bunch of kids or something, it's a bit stressful.

In the end, he couldn't stand their expectant eyes, Duan Ruiyun stretched out the sugar gourd and said tentatively, "Do you want to eat it?" ”
