Chapter 19: Marriage

Above, at the signal of Sheng Changmu, the attendant who served him stepped forward, and with a voice, "Your Majesty has a decree, open a banquet-"

Outside the hall, the dancing girls wearing gauze skirts rushed in, and when the palace music played, the dancing girls covered with white gauze danced gracefully, each with a smile on their eyebrows, and they looked very unpleasant.

Sheng Changmu insisted on the golden bottle and saluted the ministers first, and after everyone returned the salute, he turned his cup and rushed to the envoys of the Yue Kingdom with a slight bow, and the smile on his face faded by two points.

"Lord Ren tastes this wine, the special plum wine made by Chu Palace is the most sweet and not intoxicating."

The courtiers below were silent, although they were all confused, and they didn't understand why His Majesty had put up a score in order to show favor to the Yue people......

When he was surprised, he saw that the Yue envoy didn't show the slightest displeasure, and also took the wine bottle and sipped it lightly, and then laughed heartily, "What Chu Jun said is very true, this wine is really sweet!" ”

Sheng Changning watched from below, his eyes gradually darkening. If she remembers correctly, this Yue envoy is Ren Ke, the right deputy imperial envoy of the Yue Imperial Court.

When her father was still there, when she and her brother stayed in the Xuanshu Palace, they could often hear her father and the emperor talk about this person, and every word praised Ren Ke for being reusable.

Sheng Changning pinched the wall of the porcelain cup with her hand, and the cold and delicate touch made her come back to her senses a little. The natural resources gifted by God to Da Chu are excellent, and to make porcelain with such a warm feel, specific clay is needed, and even the preparation materials of embryo glaze are not ordinary, but these two can be easily found in the north of the Great Chu.

Therefore, the firing of porcelain such as porcelain bowls, porcelain cups, and porcelain vases was handed over to the people of Jiangbei, and Sheng Changning remembered that when she was not dead, the technology of porcelain burning in the north had reached the first place in the four countries.

The three famous porcelains of Jingdezhen in Jiangbei are called "blue and white, exquisite, pastel", and their porcelain quality can be described as "white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like chime".

The porcelain transported into the Chu Palace from the north has always been carefully selected, and most of the porcelain presented is exquisite porcelain, which is delicate and translucent in the hollow place, and the glaze is extraordinarily clear, and most of them are used as cups, plates and dishes in the Chu Palace.

And the porcelain cup in her hand is exquisite porcelain, the green plum wine in the cup is like a rich tea soup, the taste and color of the entrance are very different, a cup can taste its sweet and refreshing taste, if you drink too much, it is easy to get drunk.

If Sheng Changning is not mistaken, his father said that this Ren Yushi is a drunkard, and in order to break off relations with his friends with wine, his father once joked that he wanted to use fine wine to recruit him.

But this man held the wine glass, and tasted the extraordinaryness of the green plum wine, and he was able to taste it so restrainedly.

Sure enough, the father and emperor really didn't see the wrong person back then, if he was the minister of Great Chu, why should the courtiers of Great Chu have been in civil strife in the past ten years?

Sheng Changning raised his eyes and looked, his gaze swept over the stage inadvertently, and his heart slowly bottomed up.

Today's banquet may not be considered a Hongmen banquet, she guessed that this should be the Yue people who have a request for Da Chu, and it is rare to put such a low posture, and although Sheng Changmu has put on a score, he should give the Yue people no less face.

For example, the seat where Ren Ke sits, and the cloth sits under Sheng Changmu, which is one level higher than the seat of their prince and princess; There is also the cup in Ren Ke's hand, which is the blue and white porcelain of the first of the three major porcelains.

Although the blue and white porcelain is not as unique as the exquisite hollow and exquisite eyes, it is far more difficult than the exquisite porcelain in terms of workmanship.

After the firing of the plain embryo is completed, the pattern must be depicted on the plain embryo with pigment, and then the glaze is applied to fire it at high temperature. The tracing level alone requires a master who has worked for decades to be able to do it properly.

The perfect blue and white porcelain is crystal clear, revealing a light and elegant ancient rhyme, which is such a simple and elegant visual sense, which makes this porcelain plain and white a higher level than exquisite porcelain.

And because in the process of making blue and white porcelain, there are many failures, so it is transported to the porcelain of the Chu Palace, with more exquisite porcelain, and blue and white porcelain is often used in the concubines with high rank or in the north hall.

And since Ren Ke can use blue and white porcelain, it is natural that Sheng Changmu does not despise him.

"The minister has long heard that the emperor of Great Chu does not value beauty, but has a social heart and loves the people like a son, but now it seems that it is really not a gimmick."

Ren Ke put down the cup in his hand, withdrew his gaze from the seat below, and said with a smile.

He is still quite satisfied, this Chu Jun is indeed as the outside world says, not only is he handsome and talkative, but there are even few concubines in the harem, and there are only two princes and a princess under his name.

If the princess can still be the queen of Da Chu, not to mention, the matter of marrying the little child of Xing Guo before can cover up the past.

There is no such reason, there is Da Yue as a backer, and the princess is also free to stay in this Chu Palace, and she is not bound by anyone.

After thinking about it, Ren Ke said in his heart, Your Majesty is a good calculation, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.

Sheng Changmu understood what he was going to say later, so he only bowed his head slightly, "Lord Ren is serious." He said as if he had no intention, "I don't know what the intention of Yue Jun to bring your lord to my Chu land?" ”

Sheng Changmu's words were faintly warning, as if to say, if you dare to come to Dachu to make trouble so recklessly, you can only go and have no return.

His words were neither light nor heavy, and under the cover of singing and dancing, the people below could not hear clearly.

Just when everyone secretly swept their eyes, they saw that the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, who was originally sitting upright, stood up at once, strode to the hall, and knelt down with his legs bent.

The singing and dancing stopped abruptly, and the dancers all stepped aside and waited.

When everyone was surprised, Ren Ke's loud voice came, "Your Majesty of our country intends to marry Da Chu Yong, and is willing to marry Princess Feng Li to Chu Jun, I don't know what Chu Jun wants?" ”

As soon as these words came out bluntly, an uproar sounded below. Sheng Changning also lowered his frowning eyebrows, it turned out that it was for such a thing.

She turned her eyes slightly and looked at the seats opposite, only to see that the loudest people talking to each other were the civil servants sitting behind them, each of whom was talking inextricably, and there was a faint tendency to scold the street with their necks stalked.

The senators, who were a little sensible, and the Admiral only frowned, and said nothing, as if they were waiting for Sheng Changmu's decision.

It's no wonder that they reacted so much, you know, although this Yue princess Feng Oak has been favored, she has not appeared in front of the world for nearly ten years, and when everyone wants to take advantage of Yue Jun's weakness, they can't find anyone.

Now as soon as it comes out, it is going to marry Da Chu?!

But anyone with a brain can guess that there must be a reason for this.

If you easily agree to this family business, it is indeed to recruit the Yue people on the side of Da Chu, which can deter the Xing people, but who knows, is there a trap here, waiting for them to drill?
