Chapter 15: The Night Banquet
Walk to the center of the hall, not humble or arrogant to greet each other, the sound is like a sweet spring, not pretentious, not loud, faint, like the wind blowing on the main hall.
"Hehehe, the envoy from Northern Xinjiang is seated, Xi'er, come, come to the mourning family."
The Queen Mother seemed satisfied, beckoning, and was so kind that she forgot that she was not yet thirty years old.
Fengqi Palace's actions, where can she hide it. Seeing Ling Yuexi's dress, the Queen Mother was naturally happy. It can be seen that this Ling Yuexi is a smart woman who knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Only such a woman can control Xiao Sujin.
Ling Yuexi thanked her, walked to the Queen Mother's side, and sat down.
During this period, Ling Yuexi heard the whispers of several female dependents.
'The person is a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color, but it is a pity that she has the body of a child. β
'Isn't it good to be a child, wouldn't it be more fun to have two children together!' β
'You, this mouthγγγγγ'
Ling Yuexi's face did not change, but she remembered the two disrespectful family members with her spare eyes. said that she was not in good shape, but they were not allowed to look down on Xiao Sujin.
At the beginning of the banquet, the queen mother first made a friendly speech between the court and the princes, and the emperor echoed a few times, and then the hundred officials got up to toast, sat down, and the song and dance began.
Xiao Sujin glanced at Ling Yuexi from time to time, and saw that she was not wearing the clothes she sent or the jewelry she sent, which showed that Ling Yuexi was cautious. He was unsettled, because Ling Yuexi had completely exceeded his expectations. was thinking about his thoughts, and suddenly heard Xiao Mojue's thick voice, and was startled.
It turned out that Shicai Beijiang also presented a song and dance, and before the people retreated, they heard Xiao Mojue sneering coldly.
"I heard that women in northern Xinjiang are bold by nature, only interested in horseback riding and archery, and refuse to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and watch the dance, sure enough, there is a local style in northern Xinjiang."
Xiao Mojue's words literally couldn't hear anything, but those who knew the details naturally understood the meaning of his words. Northern Xinjiang was originally a wild area, self-styled princes in the past, intermarriage with the locals, for decades, it is also the atmosphere of the Celestial Empire, here he is alluding to the fact that the people of Northern Xinjiang are still barbarian and ignorant.
The singers and dancers who had not yet retired were all pale and stood there, not knowing what to answer, which caused a lot of laughter for a while. Ling Yuexi saw that Ling Yueming pressed Shi Yuan, who wanted to get up.
A cold look signaled them not to act rashly.
Although Ling Yuexi didn't understand the deep meaning, she could also see at this time that Xiao Mojue was laughing at Northern Xinjiang, and naturally she was also laughing at herself. He wanted to make a fool of Northern Xinjiang in public to avenge the revenge of Cihe Palace.
"Mother, my son has a reluctant request."
Ling Yuexi got up and bowed to the Queen Mother.
Suddenly, the hall was silent, and they all waited for the next thing with a good show.
"Oh? Reluctantly invited? You are the queen, what should you say. β
The Queen Mother was also curious, but she also believed that Ling Yuexi would never come here at this time, and she also wanted to see how this girl could save face for Beijiang.
With the permission of the Queen Mother, Ling Yuexi first let the singers and dancers in Northern Xinjiang go down, and then said to the Queen Mother: "When Erchen was in Northern Xinjiang, he heard the legend of 'Qin Demon Xiao Xian', and he had admiration from the beginning. Please also ask the queen mother for permission. β
Ling Yuexi's words, the wind gusted above the hall, and the officials and marquis families were all surprised, looking at Ling Yuexi's gaze, some were worried, some were gloating, and some were waiting to see.
