The palace guards nodded and saw them off, and Wei Wei entered the palace with Su Qin in a grand manner.

The banquet is held in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, which is located at the front end of the central axis of Xianyang Palace, and the scale is very large, and it is only used at very few times such as the first celebration of the year every year, and the door is usually locked.

Holding a banquet here today shows the grandeur of Qin Junyingsi's reception of the envoys of Yiqu. The ministers of the Qin State Daliang and the above titles all came to the outside of the main hall, waiting for the eunuchs in the palace to announce the edict of "the king has a decree, and the ministers will meet him", and the ministers were arranged in two neat columns and walked into the palace.

Su Qin was by Wei Wei's side, and individual ministers looked sideways at Su Qin, and said in their hearts: "What level of official is that tall man, why have you never seen him?" ”

Gongsun Yan and Gao Sheng were also invited, and the two of them kept glaring at Wei Wei and Su Qin. Wei Weiquan didn't see it, and thought: "The monarch agrees with me to do this, what are you doing with rats?" ”

Entering the hall, Wei Wei took Su Qin's hand, under the guidance of the eunuch, came to his seat, he deliberately asked the eunuch to add an extra seat next to his own cases, the eunuch heard Wei Wei's instructions, and didn't even ask a word, and went directly to Wei Wei's instructions.

Su Qin saw it in his eyes, and felt that the eunuchs had been instructed in advance, probably Qin Jun asked the palace attendants to obey Wei Wei's orders, and not to disobey, otherwise how could they be so obedient. He thought of the guard's swollen face again, thought of the stern reprimand they had received, and knew that it was all arranged.

After the ministers entered the palace, they had just sat down, and the eunuchs shouted an edict: "The king is coming, and the ministers are welcome." Su Qin fixed his eyes and saw that the envoy of Yiqu was indeed the prince of Maodu, he was wearing a wide robe made of silk and satin, and his waist was tied with a treasure belt inlaid with beads and jade, a Chinese outfit.

However, Su Qin was strange, why didn't he wear the Yiqu people's Hu clothes? Is it to appear to be in tune with the locals?

Immediately behind Qin Jun and Mao Du, there were also one of Qin Jun's concubines and Princess Yingyi, who were also dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking very decent and luxurious. Su Qin didn't know that concubine, and after asking Wei Wei for advice, he realized that she was originally Mi Bazi.

Su Qin nodded, Mi Bazi is famous in the Qin Kingdom, and people know that she is a favorite concubine of the harem who is loved by thousands of people. Su Qin carefully looked at Mi Bazi, and he was really born with a gorgeous appearance, and his eyebrows revealed a calm and capable.

Su Qin thought to himself: "No wonder she is favored, it turns out that she is a woman who has both good looks and shrewdness. The combination of beauty and wisdom can stand out in the deceitful harem. ”

He looked at Princess Yingyi again, and saw that her face was haggard, her spirit was listless, and her eyes were swollen, as if she had just cried. Su Qin heard Wei Wei say that Yiqu Guo asked to marry the princess of Qin, and when he saw Yingyi's respectful face, he already expected that Yingyi was promised to Prince Yiqu, otherwise why would he be so unhappy.

Su Qin secretly wondered: "Ying Si is really ruthless enough, and he actually married his own sister to Prince Yiqu, isn't he afraid that Ying Yi will repeat the mistakes of her aunt Ying Qi?" Wei Wei once said that being born in a noble family of the clan is not necessarily a good thing, and it seems that there is some truth. ”

While thinking wildly, Su Qin mechanically stood up with the ministers in the hall, saluted, and paid homage to Qin Jun. Qin Jun waved his hand to let the ministers sit down, and after that, he affectionately let Mao Du sit beside him, and on both sides of them, arranged for Mi Bazi and Ying Yi to sit respectively.

Ying Yi was sitting next to Prince Maoton, but her face was desperately twisted to the side, and she didn't even knock Mao a look. When Su Qin saw this scene, she realized that she was extremely reluctant to marry this family business.

Qin Jun first led the ministers to raise a glass to welcome Mao Du, and Mao Du boldly picked up the wine on several cases and drank it all. He also raised a glass to Qin Jun to bless, and after the ceremony, the banquet began.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and when the banquet gradually reached its climax, Qin Jun clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet, and the ministers hurriedly stopped their words and listened to the monarch's announcement.

Qin Jun said loudly: "Everyone, the widow has great news to tell you. Today, our Qin State has officially agreed to the request of Yiqu State, and decided to marry the widow's own sister, Princess Yingyi, to the prince of Maodu. The two countries have renewed their marriage, and they have been friendly for generations. ”

When the next group of ministers heard the news announced by Qin Jun, Dushan shouted "Long live" to congratulate them. Qin Jun raised his glass again and drank with Mao Du. Su Qin nodded quietly, and said in his heart: "As expected, Qin Jun actually married his sister to Yiqu. ”

He looked at Princess Yingyi and found that her face was full of frustration and she was about to cry; Looking at the other side of the Mi Bazi, but he was smiling and beaming, his expression was as if he had won ten thousand gold jewels, and he was a victor as everyone raised his glass to celebrate.

Su Qin didn't know much about the contradiction between Princess Yingyi and Concubine Mi, and then, if the bystanders were clear and carefully observed, they would see clearly. In a court infighting, the winner is separated from the loser.

After Qin Jun announced the good news, the music and dance performance officially began. Su Qin saw that the members of the music and dance class he had formed had all walked up to the hall, dressed brightly, with beautiful makeup, curling and graceful, and full of charm.

The music and dance class was performing in light songs and dances, and the ministers looked straight at it, and this music and dance class became the most attractive performance group in Qin under the careful construction of Su Qin and Meng Ting.

The Qin State is located in the west, and the music and dance are mostly performances with few tricks of knocking on rice bowls and hitting clay pots. It was rare for the ministers to see such a high level of music and dance, so they enjoyed it with relish. Su Qin looked at the ministers with drooling looks and couldn't stop laughing.

Not only were the ministers fascinated, but the prince of Yiqu, who was sitting with Qin Jun, was also deeply attracted, he watched the music and dance performance without blinking, Ying Yi saw his salivating expression with cold eyes, and his heart was even more unhappy, and he looked at the roof angrily, and put on a cold and arrogant posture.

The people attending the banquet were intoxicated by music and dance, eating and drinking to cheer up, and many people were drunk unconsciously. Because of Meng Ting's departure, Su Qin saw her again in the hall today, but the psychological distance was thousands of miles away, so he was depressed. He didn't drink much, but looked out of the hall from time to time, and was in high spirits.

In the second half of the music and dance performance, Meng Ting, who led the dance, suddenly glanced at Ying Yi and motioned for Ying Yi to come off the stage. Ying Yi's eyes were facing upwards most of the time, and she didn't even notice Meng Ting making her eyes look for a long time.

Meng Ting finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took advantage of the opportunity of the lead dancer being at the front of the queue to dance all the way to Yingyi's approach, which woke Yingyi up. Ying Yi saw Meng Ting's expression and knew that she had something to say to herself, so she stood up and came directly to Meng Ting's side, Meng Ting put her lips to her ear and whispered a few words.

Ying Yi nodded, turned around and walked back to Qin Jun Yingsi's side, she whispered a few words to her brother Yingsi, Yingsi was stunned at first. Ying Yi whispered again angrily, Ying Si thought for a while, and nodded to her sister with an ugly expression.

I saw Ying Yi go straight to the music and dance class, and danced with the rhythm. The ministers watched Princess Yingyi perform in person, and they were all extremely uncomfortable, not knowing whether to cheer or remain quiet, but Qin Jun Yingsi couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

Ying Yi didn't care about it at all, she was very comfortable, she played her own game, and no one cared about her eyes.

All of this was seen by Su Qin, and he guessed the inside story nine times out of ten, Ying Si probably forced her sister to marry into Yiqu, which she didn't want to go to, Ying Yi was angry, so at today's banquet, deliberately mess around with informality.

Yingsi let her sister, follow her thoughts, and let her dance in public, which aroused Su Qin's conjecture. What means did Qin Jun Yingsi use to make the princess comply, and besides, their queen mother even agreed to this family business.

"Marrying my sister to Yiqu, isn't that the same as distributing the frontier? What's the problem? Su Qin fell into deep thought.
