Jiying Hall all night long, the next day is still lively and extraordinary, according to the banquet to invite the envoys to use the state banquet, there are ministers to accompany you, partial birth of the Liao country is a serious prince again, in the name of harmony, had to add a family banquet, so the queen set up two large seats outside the palace hall, arrange the ministers to sit on the outside seat, the clan nobles sit on the inner seat, the jade plate delicacies, silk and bamboo into the ear, the form of singing and dancing, it really shows the peace and prosperity.

Zhao Yuanwei wore a Bixia Luo forging, persisted in a plain fan, and Zhao Fuping sat down behind the princes, although he was used to feasting and drinking, but the official family advocated frugality, so prosperous and pompous, it is really rare, but it makes people feel interesting, Zhao Yuanwei has long looked at Yelu Nanyin on the opposite table, and saw that her eyebrows and eyes are flying, her figure is thin, and the Central Plains woman is different after all, and she can't help but turn sideways slightly, and Zhao Fuping said, "Look at the princess of Liao, she was born handsome, I don't know which of our royal brothers she will choose as her husband." ”

"I don't think we're as soft and delicate as our Song women." Zhao Fuping covered his lips and replied, "The brothers have families, I really don't know, what do the people of this Liao country think, send this dignified princess Her Royal Highness to be a side concubine." ”

Zhao Yuanwei laughed a few times, didn't answer, only raised a lamp to invite Zhao Fuping to drink together, and then said, "What a plan to stabilize the army!" ”

Zhao Fuping smiled lightly, put down the wine cup, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, raised his eyes, and saw Xu Zhan standing in one place, seeing him wearing a red official uniform, holding a wat board, slim and jade, very eye-catching in the crowd, Zhao Fuping looked at himself secretly for a while, and moved his gaze.

"Your Majesty the Emperor" Yelu Longxu stood up and smiled at the head, "Thank Your Majesty for your kindness, this king is grateful for this banquet." ”

"The prince should not be formal, just drink as much as he wants." Zhao Guangyi raised the lamp to signal the clan relatives, everyone drank together, Yelu Longxu sat down, and Fang said, "Although today's singing and dancing is wonderful, it seems to be the same as yesterday, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have fun, this king has an idea, I don't know if His Majesty can allow it." ”

"Oh," Zhao Guangyi waved his hand and stopped singing and dancing, and then said, "The prince might as well say it, come and listen." ”

"My Da Liao is a horse nation, both men and women can dance, and the king's sister Nanyin is a person who is good at dancing and rhyme, so she might as well offer a dance to help the wine."

Zhao Guangyi smiled when he heard this, frowned and did not answer, Zhao Yuanzuo saw what he meant, and hurriedly got up and shirked and said, "The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, I am afraid of hurting your dignity, so I still changed my maid to dance." He was about to greet the new person, but he saw Han Chang standing up straight, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's just fun, the Liao people don't stick to these rules, and Her Royal Highness the princess also has this intention." ”

Hearing Han Chang's words, Yelu Nanyin simply got up and bent his knees and said, "Your Majesty is used to watching songs and dances in the Central Plains, and I am afraid that it will be boring, so you might as well Nanyin present a Hu Xuan dance to help Your Majesty Yaxing." ”

Hearing her say this, it was really difficult to shirk, the clans looked at each other, Zhao Guangyi also nodded, and said with a smile, "So, there is Princess Lao." ”

Yelu Nanyin bowed, stood firm, struck three palms with both hands, and the musicians who had already been prepared to dance with them had already gone to the hall, more than a dozen Khitan women wearing long skirts, holding tambourine, and wearing plain yarn went to the hall together, and the sound of drums instantly surrounded Yelu Nanyin in the middle, the silk strings were tightly played, and the toes were pointed, and the light song of the Man Dance was presented in front of everyone.

If you say that Yelu Nanyin, is also a beautiful face, the face is like a silver basin, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, but it is a pity to enter Beijing with dissatisfaction, not immediately happy, today to hear the drum music, but it is difficult to suppress the excitement, the face is also added to the joy, that a stretch and an exhibition, a movement and a quiet place, lining the hibiscus spring water, the thin waist is not full of palms, but in vain let people see a bit of infatuation.

Zhao Yuanwei saw it really in the back, everyone else in front was good, only Zhao Yuanwei looked at others infatuately, without turning his eyes, Zhao Yuanwei was secretly funny, and snorted at Zhao Fuping, the two laughed, and Zhao Yuanwei said in a low voice, "I don't know the thoughts of this princess, but the thoughts of our five royal brothers can't be hidden." ”

"Brother Wuwang is described as handsome, and in my opinion, he is quite compatible with this princess." Zhao Fuping replied shallowly.

Zhao Yuanwei shook her head and said coquettishly, "My family's seventh brother is a good one, so how can the princess look down on the fifth royal brother." ”

Zhao Fuping smiled bitterly, "Brother Seven Kings is naturally good, I just respond casually, what are you more serious." ”

The sisters laughed and laughed, but Han Chang on the other side had already looked at the clan girls on the opposite side, as if he was lost, so he turned sideways and said to Yelu Longxu, "I heard that there is a wonderful person in the Song family, who is the daughter of Emperor Xianzhou, can Your Highness know who it is?" ”

Yelu Longxu looked at it carefully, and responded, "My brother-in-law is familiar with the Song court, but I don't know it, and this king doesn't know about it, maybe it's the blue clothes." ”

Yelu Longxu casually pointed his finger, and Han Chang unconsciously glanced at Zhao Fuping, and then quipped, "Your Highness looked at the good blue clothes, and asked for grace from Zhao's family, and wanted to go back to be a princess." ”

"I look dignified, but it's not bad." Yelu Longxu also smiled, and Han Chang called the palace maid who was waiting beside him and asked, "Who is the county lord of Yong'an?" ”

"His Royal Highness the county lord has complained of illness and has not come today."

"Didn't come" Han Chang frowned slightly, and when he felt sorry, he heard a vigorous applause from both sides, it turned out to be an end, Yelu Nanyin had bowed down and asked for reward, Zhao Guangyi was naturally happy, and ordered someone to reward two red coral skewers, and ordered Yelu Nanzhu to sit down.

Han Chang smiled lightly, got up and played, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this song and dance?" ”

"Qu Jia dances beautifully, Hu Xuan's posture is quite like Concubine Yang in the past." Zhao Guangyi praised happily.

Han Chang then said again, "The ministers see that there are quite a few clan girls present, and their demeanor is outstanding, we are idle and boring, it is better to make a comparison, I don't know if any of the princesses are willing to compete with my Princess Silver Mirror." ”

Han Chang's tone was a little frivolous, and everyone was quite uneasy when he heard it, Zhao Yuankan suddenly got up and said, "Father Emperor Mingjian, all of you sisters are boudoir girls, how can you show your head and dance." ”

"His Royal Highness King Han is wrong with this." Han Chang gave a sneering look and responded, "Ben Shuai didn't have any other intentions, just to help the wine, His Royal Highness King Han couldn't help but make a big fuss." ”

"My Great Song Dynasty is not as good as Da Liao" Zhao Yuanzuo took over, "The princesses and county lords are all golden and noble, and they are not easy to see people in the deep palace, and what the concubine said is probably difficult for a strong man." ”

"Ben Shuai knows that the Song room has the rules of the Song room, but it is so fortunate that it is not a way of hospitality!" Han Chang snorted coldly, and then sat down.

At this point, the atmosphere was already a little cold, Zhao Yuankan opened his mouth and wanted to refute a few more words, but was rejected by Zhao Guangyi with a "Heng'er", Zhao Guangyi already knew that he should not be invited by Han Chang today, I am afraid that he will really lose the face of the Liao State, so how can Han Chang be the master who is willing to give up, just take pleasure, Zhao Guangyi closed his eyes and thought to himself, only to hear a sound of his father in his ears, opened his eyes and looked again, and saw that Zhao Qingyu had knelt down in front of the steps, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but sit up straight.

Zhao Qingyu wore a rose-colored fairy skirt today, with a phoenix pattern hooked with gold threads, with a set of finely carved jade beads, carefully depicted the eyebrows, applied good powder, and dotted rouge, lined with spring, and the appearance was very lovely.

"Kiyoyu, what are you doing?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"The son knows that he lacks dancing skills, but he is also willing to help his father and the emperor drink, and he doesn't dare to compare with Her Royal Highness the princess, just for fun." Zhao Qingyu said respectfully, but it attracted everyone's attention, Zhao Yuanwei frowned secretly, and whispered, "What occasion, this limelight is in vain." ”

Wait, in the limelight, Zhao Yuanwei suddenly remembered Chai Xiyun's advice yesterday, and now seeing Zhao Qingyu like this, he has something to say, but I don't know, Chai Xiyun asked himself to pay attention to what he was doing, and what kind of calculation Zhao Qingyu made.

"You, okay?" Zhao Guangyi hesitated and asked, he knew that Concubine Fang Hui was good at dancing, but it was also an old thing more than ten years ago, and now in the palace, Chai Xiyun is good at dancing, and then Zhao Fuping can be counted, Zhao Qingyu! He wasn't sure.

"Father, rest assured, Erxin arranged a song, and I just invited my father to watch it."

"Okay" Zhao Guangyi saw that she insisted, so he also waved his hand in response, and turned to Han Chang and the others, "This is my princess Tongchang, and she will perform the dance." ”

"It's a blessing to see it, and this king is lucky." Yelu Longxu also said politely, and his eyes fell on Zhao Qingyu unconsciously, in terms of appearance, she is by no means the most outstanding one, Zhao Fuping is colder than her, Zhao Yuanwei is gentler than her, but she has a self-confidence from her bones, and she has an extraordinary temperament.

This state banquet, Zhao Qingyu is definitely prepared, she is wearing a fairy dress, with long sleeves and waist, she is a good dress for dancing, Zhao Qingyu's eyes flashed slightly, and then Shi Li said, "The ministers are unprepared, there is a lack of accompaniment, and I am afraid that the palace people are not skilled, so I want to ask for a favor with my father." ”

"What grace, you know." Although Zhao Guangyi was not happy in his heart, he asked in a good voice thanks to Zhao Qingyu who solved the urgency before the banquet.

Zhao Qingyu then said, "This long-sleeved waist dance is the most beautiful with the sound of the flute and the piano, we are here, the flute of the Seven Princes is a must, I don't know if I am willing to help my sister." ”

Zhao Yuankan heard her request, a glass of wine stuck in his throat and choked, and Guo Ying, the princess of Han, got up and handed over the handkerchief, Zhao Yuankan coughed for a moment, and Fang Tui refused, "Kick off the father, the son is not good at this song, I am afraid that I will lose my sister's good qualifications." ”

Zhao Qingyuwan didn't expect him to refuse so simply, his eyes tightened, and his face flew red, Zhao Yuankan was very unhappy in his heart, he really didn't know what to do, he was embarrassed, and he had to pull his own prince, it was really boring to be self-deprecating.

In the end, Zhao Yuanxi couldn't bear that his sister couldn't get off the stage, and said roundly, "Since the seventh prince brother doesn't understand this song, then the brother will accompany the sister, and there will be Princess Lao to play the piano." ”

"Yes" Li Shunan accepted the salute, and the palace people were neatly prepared, and they sat down.

Zhao Yuanwei was not on good terms with Zhao Qingyu, and she didn't bother to look at her flirtatious appearance, she only lowered her head and ordered the palace people to go to the outer seat to give Xia Lin some fruit to moisten her throat, the sound of the piano suddenly rose, and the clan was contemplatively looking, Zhao Fuping looked at Zhao Qingyu, who was lightly comforting his sleeves in the center, bent at the waist, and as light as a swallow, for a moment, his face sank, and Zhao Yuanwei's question suddenly sounded in his ears, "Why do I look so familiar with this dance... It's not... Isn't this a new choreographed dance by you and Yun'er? ”
