banquet
In the evening, the carriage that came to pick up Yan Yang in the palace arrived outside the gate of the princess's mansion, and it was the Emperor of Qi who set up a banquet tonight to commend the soldiers who took the Chu State.
The eldest princess Yan Yang, as a key figure in winning the Chu State, is naturally indispensable.
"Princess, the people in the palace are waiting outside." The personal maid slowly walked in from outside the door, whispering in her ear.
"Well," Yan Yang replied casually, seemingly not taking it to heart, but in fact, Yan Yang was also very uneasy about tonight's banquet.
It is not just a simple celebration banquet, but also her first battle into the noble circle in the capital.
After being away from Beijing for many years, it is estimated that she has lost nine times out of ten connections in your circle, and tonight is a good time for her to contact the ministers of the DPRK and China.
It's a pity that neither the concubine nor the queen plan to form an alliance with her...... If the two of them had an interest, it would be more convenient for her to be inside and outside the palace, but if she didn't cooperate...... I'm afraid she will have to find other concubines to cooperate, or cultivate a ...... by herself
It's not that she can't do it, it's just that it's just troublesome, if those people are really ready to watch, maybe she will really pull them into the water, and then see how they choose, now she only has two kinds of people in her eyes, one is for her use, she can allow him to be prosperous and rich, and the other is someone who is not used by her, then there is no need for him to exist in this world.
Yan Yang bowed slightly, pursed his lips and smiled at himself in the mirror, in the mirror, he was dressed in dark red clothes, his eyes were moving, but his eyes were indifferent......
Everyone was also absorbed by the appearance of Princess Yan Yang in the mirror, although they have been serving the princess, but before in the Chu State, the princess invited herself to live in seclusion in the harem. Because they were not favored by Emperor Chu, everyone deducted the money in the palace of the concubine, so they lived a hard life. And today, as soon as the princess dressed up, they were also amazed.
Yan Yang was not surprised to see the reaction of the people behind her, because all this was expected by her.
"Let's go," Yan Yang looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction and said to the maid behind him.
The maid came to her senses, picked up a cloak from the hanger next to her and draped it over Yan Yang's body, supported Yan Yang weakly, and followed by the two grandmothers. The four of them walked towards the mansion, and the carriage in the palace had been waiting at the door for a long time. The groom's eyes were full of displeasure, but when he caught a glimpse of a bright color appearing in his field of vision, he hurriedly woke up the person who was already asleep next to him, and reminded in a low voice: "The princess is here." β
The guard, who was already asleep, woke up suddenly, and saw Princess Yan Yang walking towards them with a few people not far away, and hurriedly touched the saliva he had just slept on, and rubbed it on his pants.
Until Yan Yang was three steps away from them, everyone knelt down one after another, "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
Yan Yang stopped, paused, and walked straight into the carriage.
"Let's go," came her dull order from the carriage. They did not dare to slack off, and got up one after another and drove the carriage towards the palace.
The palace is staggered, and the imperial garden is full of lanterns, reflecting this celebration feast. When Yan Yang arrived, the ministers were almost there, and the eunuch outside the door shouted in the voice of the elder: "Princess Yan Yang has arrived." β
Everyone stopped their eyes and glanced at the visitor, only to see that she was dressed in a red dress, with a bewitching appearance, a touch of red sand on the tip of her eyebrows added a little ethereal, with a smile on her lips that seemed to be ruthless and affectionate, which made people not feel fascinated, and what made people sink even more was her pair of thin and cool eyes, it seemed that there was nothing in this world that really interested her, and such eyes made people want to conquer, so that everyone wanted to hold all the treasures in the world in front of her, just want to see the iceberg in those eyes. Her Yan Yang is like a soul-piercing goblin in everyone's hearts at this moment, and she has strayed into the mortal world.
Even Emperor Qi, who was sitting on it, boasted that he had never seen three thousand beauties in the harem, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Yan Yang a few more times.
Yan Yang's position: According to reason, the queen and Yan Yang are both in the first grade, so the positions of the two of them should be at the same level, as for the concubine, because she is from the first grade, the position is below the two of them. However, this is not the case with the sitting in front of you. The queen and the concubine respectively stood in the positions of the two Zhengyipin.
Yan Yang looked at Shen Guifei, who was sitting in her original position, and then looked at the position below, walked over without saying anything, and sat in the position from the first grade.
How could Emperor Qi, who was sitting on the stage, not know about the good deeds of his concubine, he also deliberately pretended not to ask, just to imply that Yan Yang was the real son of destiny in this Qi country, and she also had to rely on him.
This means...... Yan Yang's eyes darkened, it was really naΓ―ve.
The hundred officials sitting in the low also guessed the things above, but they still pretended to be deaf and dumb there, and the staggered planning was not lively.
Yan Yangke was not very interested in the banquet of those ministers, and her eyes kept on the ladies and ladies sitting in the back seats, who were the ones she was going to befriend.
The banquet of Emperor Qi sitting on it did not start for long, and there were two delicate concubines in their arms, if they had no one else on it, the queen who was sitting on one side of the emperor had already retreated at the beginning of the banquet because she was unwell, and as for the concubine on the other side, her face remained unchanged, and she still maintained a decent smile and did not seem to see what His Majesty did above.
Yan Yang watched the performance of the singer below with relish, as for the other ministers, they got together to talk about some national affairs, and other ladies and ladies also got together to talk about some interesting things that happened in the capital in recent days.
They all excluded Yan Yang by appointment, Yan Yang lowered his head and sipped the tea in his cup, and did not eagerly step forward to take the initiative to participate in the conversation of those people, but sat there quietly and unintentionally collected some of the information revealed in the conversation of those people.
Because she had prepared for the worst when she came, and now that's just the case. It seems that her royal brother is still afraid of her, but he does not dare to kill her. So what's next for her......
Yan Yang lowered her head and pursed her lips, what she was looking for was estimated to be fast......
As long as she finds that thing, even Emperor Qi can't touch her.
"Her Royal Highness Princess," the father-in-law, who covered his face, went to her cup to fill some more tea, Yan Yang looked at the tea in the cup, and the word "water" was written on the table.
Her eyes darkened, did she find what she was looking for? When she turned around and tried to find the father-in-law, she couldn't see the figure anymore.
Yan Yang sat there, waited for a while until no one noticed her, she sneaked to the pond in the imperial garden, looked around, found no stalker, she quietly blew the whistle, a eunuch came out of the rockery and knelt in front of her: "Princess, the slave has finally waited for you......"
The low father-in-law had tears in his eyes, and his eyes were full of joy and relief when he looked at Yan Yang.
"Father-in-law Liu," Yan Yang could vaguely tell through the mottled moonlight that the lowly father-in-law was an old man who served her mother, but now he was much older than ten years ago, with a head full of gray hair......
"Princess, the emperor left a will and handed it to Niangniang, and Niangniang kept it for the slaves, saying that this might be His Highness's life talisman." As he spoke, Gonggong Liu took out a bamboo slip from his bad bag and handed it to Yan Yang.
Yan Yang looked at the white bamboo slip in his hand, and then looked at his wrinkled hands, thinking that when his father and mother were still there, he and Gonggong Cui were both characters who were stammered by all the palace people, and now Gonggong Cui has become a popular person around the new emperor, and he is struggling to survive in this cannibalistic harem, just to hand over this will to her, this loyalty is really rare.
"My father-in-law is loyal, and this palace will never treat my father-in-law badly. The palace will ask the emperor for someone in the future, and the father-in-law will be at ease in the princess's mansion in the future. β
"No, thank you, Your Highness. There is a person in this palace who is reluctant to be reluctant," Gonggong Liu replied.
"That palace has asked the emperor for it," Yan Yang didn't think so much, and said directly, but just when she saw her father-in-law's sad face, she was shocked, and then a stunned expression appeared on her face, if the emperor would not be reluctant to let the palace maid and eunuch or something, since he showed this expression, could it be that person would be in the harem and be the emperor's concubine?
Yan Yang was frightened by this result of his own conjecture, and he didn't know how to comfort his low-level father-in-law.
"Your Highness, you don't have to ask the emperor for someone. The slave was sent to the palace when he was young, and he lived in this palace for most of his life, and all the slaves in this palace were reluctant. So Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the minions. β
"Father-in-law take care," since her father-in-law was unwilling to go back to the princess's mansion with her, she naturally would not be reluctant, she glanced deeply at Father-in-law Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, and turned around and walked out of the imperial garden.
After she left, Gonggong Liu slowly got up from the ground, glanced at the high city wall, his eyes flashed with tears, he had already lost the meaning of living in this world, when Jin Niang died, he wanted to accompany her, and now he can finally cash in, Jin Niang, I will accompany you......
He sank into the pond and plunged into endless darkness......
On the other side, after Yan Yang walked out of the imperial garden, he bumped into Emperor Qi who had left the banquet, and he was already drunk at this time.
I saw him stumbling to the ground, pulling Yan Yang's sleeve, Yan Yang's wobbly body that had been hit also fell to the ground, just as Emperor Qi used as her back.
Yan Yang's head just fell on Emperor Qi's chest, and Emperor Qi under him let out a muffled snort of pain. Yan Yang couldn't help but let out an exclamation, reacted and hurriedly stood up and helped Emperor Qi on the ground to lean on the rockery, stepped back a little distance and said to him, "Your Majesty has drunk too much." β
After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Emperor Qi grabbed Yan Yang who wanted to leave and hugged her into his arms, his mouth close to her ear: "Beauty, don't go......"
After speaking, the strength of holding her in his hand increased a lot. I'm afraid that this person doesn't take her as a member of the three thousand beauties in his harem?
"Your Majesty...... The minister is your imperial sister," Yan Yang said with fear in his endure.
"Imperial sister?" Emperor Qi's face was a little impatient, and he said irritably, "What imperial sister...... All I see is beautiful women......"
"Your Majesty......" Yan Yang felt really scared at this time.
