Chapter Forty-Eight: How Do You Choose?
What a big face, the emperor personally raised a toast, and there was no one in this martial king. The clouds are darkly staggering.
When everyone heard this, they immediately cooperated and raised their glasses to the Martial King to toast respectfully, and the Martial King also picked up the wine glass and nodded slightly to everyone.
On the left side of the seat, close to the top of the seat, all the seats are high-ranking officials and important ministers, royal relatives and nobles.
Further down are the young sons of each family, all of whom have extraordinary bearings. Looking at the mat on the right, the women's mat is also arranged.
The clouds sat in the corner, observing all this so easily that no one noticed her.
She saw the mother and daughter of the Yun family sitting at the back of the women's seat, and they were looking in the direction of the Martial King with excitement on their faces.
I was very surprised at the moment, this mother and daughter ate *** today? Why are you so excited, so confident?
With a turn of his gaze, the clouds met a fiery gaze from the men's seat opposite. Years of moisturizing?
Champion Lang Nian Runze sat on the seat in front of him, 108,000 miles away from him, but those deep eyes looked at her deeply. It made her feel a little embarrassed.
The clouds looked at him and smiled at him.
Out of politeness, Yun Duoduo immediately responded, also smiled slightly, and raised the wine glass in his hand.
Nian Runze immediately understood, and hurriedly picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank a glass of wine.
The clouds also drank the wine in their hands and drank it in the air.
I finally met an acquaintance, toasted a glass of wine and talked about my heart. It's nothing.
After drinking, Yun Duoduo continued to look around without care.
A pair of good-looking eyes behind the mask took in the interaction between the two, and clenched the cup in his hand tightly. Why did he feel so uncomfortable? He was very displeased to see her eyebrow at other men.
After a greeting, the queen smiled and said: "Today is a flower-viewing banquet, and it is also a reception banquet for our martial king to return to Beijing." King Wu bravely killed the enemy for my Dajin, defended the territory, and really made great contributions. Now that the surrounding enemy countries dare not attack, I am Dajin Antai and Le, and King Wu can finally live in the capital for a long time.
In order to celebrate this event, why don't you let the famous ladies present today perform to add some fun, what do you think? ”
As soon as the queen's words came out, everyone present nodded their heads in anticipation. This was originally a flower-viewing banquet under the guise of a flower-viewing banquet, but in fact, I wanted to take this opportunity to choose a concubine for King Wu.
Xiao Taiwei's heart sank, but soon returned to normal.
King Wu stayed in the capital, indicating that King Wu would sit in the capital and guard the capital, and no one dared to act rashly in front of him. Not to mention his martial arts, he is a rare and outstanding general, and he is almost invincible in large and small battles as long as the martial king is present. Therefore, the title also got a mighty martial word.
But what if he, Taiwei Xiao, can marry King Wu?
His daughter was so good, he didn't believe that the young and vigorous Martial King could refuse such a temptation.
Therefore, even if the emperor proposed to hold a flower-viewing banquet for King Wu to choose a concubine, he didn't mind, because he had enough confidence in his daughter.
The emperor and queen really regarded King Wu as a talisman.
"What the queen said is very true, today's famous ladies are all here, all of them are versatile, I don't know which girl is willing to perform?"
The women in the audience immediately cheered up, they had long known the meaning of this banquet, and this was a great opportunity for them to show their hands.
The title of Princess Wu depends on everyone's performance.
For a while, all the women in the field were eager to try.
Yun Duoduo looked at this scene with interest, so familiar with the picture, didn't he participate in such a banquet once?
Now it looks like the routines are all the same, and it doesn't look new.
But that time is really memorable, and I don't know if Yun Yaozhi will dance this time.
But even if she dances again, the clouds don't plan to lose her face, this is the palace.
I don't want to make trouble here.
However, if Yun Yaozhi became a martial princess by dancing, so she would be even more able to bully herself at will, wouldn't she be even more miserable?
That's a nerve-wracking question.
The clouds were a little worried. It looks like I'm going to have to do it again
?
At this moment, a pleasant man's voice was heard.
"How boring is the performance talent, if you want to come, you will have something fresh, and the queen does not have to hide it, since today I have made up my mind to choose a concubine for this king, then, I must come according to the king's will."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and the young women all turned red and lowered their heads.
This layer of window paper is even if it has been pierced, but it still looks a little embarrassing. was still pierced by King Wu himself.
This martial king is a bit interesting. Yun Duoduo looked over with a smile, his mouth kept eating, eating all kinds of snacks. There is an end to the good show.
At this time, only she was still in the mood to eat.
After a moment of embarrassment, the queen laughed.
"Lord Wang, then, what do you have a good idea?"
At this time, Mrs. Xiao's hearty voice came: "The prince is wise and martial, and the old minister thinks that only by testing martial arts can he arouse the interest of the prince, right?" ”
Now that the words are all picked, there is nothing that can not be said.
Mrs. Xiao's daughter is a famous heroine among women, capable of literature and martial arts. He is not afraid of anything.
King Wu chuckled: "Taiwei Xiao, this king has said that it is the king's concubine selection banquet, could it be that Taiwei Xiao wants to make the decision for this article?" ”
King Wu's words made the scene even more eeriely quiet. Mrs. Xiao's face was a little ugly. "That's not what the old minister meant."
The emperor and queen both rolled their eyes, and they didn't know what to think.
It stands to reason that at this time, King Wu refuted the face of Xiao Taiwei, who is now also a military minister who has a heavy army and a heavy weight in the court.
However, for some reason, the emperor did not open his mouth for a while to relieve him.
After a while, the crown prince laughed: "Uncle Xiaohuang, your habit of joking just doesn't change, you usually joke with the palace, why even make a joke about Taiwei Xiao?" How can Taiwei Xiao make the decision for you, naturally you are the master yourself. You say, what are you going to choose? ”
Mrs. Xiao also smiled and said, "Hehe, yes." King Wu is so humorous, just now the old minister was just making a suggestion. ”
King Wu said: "In this case, this king thinks that to be the princess of this king, the most basic thing is to be able to sit and drink with this king, and you all know that this king loves to drink the most." The first condition for this is that she can drink. It is better to let the women present drink three bowls of wine alone, let the king see how much they drink, and then the king will judge. ”
As soon as these words came out, the ladies and ladies present all changed their faces.
Drink?
Who chooses the princess based on the amount of alcohol? It's unheard of.
However, there are also some women who secretly rejoice, but fortunately, their alcohol consumption is not bad.
Among them is Yun Yaozhi, she usually drinks a few glasses, but the amount of alcohol is not too good, presumably the Martial King will not be too embarrassed by these women.
Mrs. Yun's mind turned, she knew that this prince was special, but she didn't expect that she would choose a concubine by drinking.
However, no matter what method he used, her daughter was a sure thing.
She glanced at Yun Yaozhi, who was a little worried beside her, and the hand under the table secretly patted her hand, signaling her to relax.
Yun Yaozhi didn't know what plan his father had used until this time, could it be that his father had already known that King Wu would use alcohol? But I'm not sure how much alcohol I'm drinking.
King Wu didn't care about the wonderful faces of the people present, and as soon as he waved his hand, a row of palace maids came forward with a big bowl holding the wine jar.
Seeing the words on the wine jar clearly, the people present gasped again.
"Drunken battlefield? Isn't this the strongest alcohol for soldiers to drink when they go to battle? ”
An official in the field immediately whispered, and people immediately turned their eyes to the wine jar, and the aroma of wine overflowed, and it was indeed a drunken battlefield.
The first person to be put in the wine bowl was Su Huan, the princess of Ankang who was sitting in the first place, and Su Huan had long expected that it was not so simple for King Wu to choose a concubine, but he didn't expect that he would let them drink.
The Su family did not clearly instruct her to run for Princess Wu, although the Su family was a little shaken, but they still planned that Su Huan would be the future crown princess, but Su Huan herself had already changed her mind, and she wanted to become Princess Wu.
But she understands that on this occasion, it is impossible to decide on the candidate for Princess Wu.
At this banquet, everyone thought that it was really King Wu's choice of concubine, but only the royal people knew that this was just a superficial effort to plug the mouths of outsiders.
Because a few days ago, Mrs. Xiao actually found the emperor in person, saying that he wanted the emperor to marry her daughter Xiao Wanbing, and openly and secretly belonged to King Wu.
The emperor naturally didn't want Xiao Taiwei to join forces with King Wu, but it was not good to refuse him directly, because now Xiao Taiwei's power in the court can be described as covering the sky with one hand.
The king of Liuwu is in Beijing, just to deter Taiwei Xiao.
Now this banquet can be regarded as an explanation to Mrs. Xiao.
These others don't understand, but Su Huan understands it very well in his heart, you must know that the power of the Su family should not be underestimated.
Seeing that the wine in front of Su Huan's eyes was already full, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and look over.
"The prince forgives the sin, the little girl is not strong enough to drink."
Su Huan slowly got up and bowed slightly, is this a refusal?
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned and then relieved, yes, Su Huan is a candidate for the crown princess, if she drinks it, it will make people suspicious.
King Wu said lightly: "It's okay to be next." ”
Soon the palace maids put the wine in front of the next woman, three large bowls, and poured three bowls of wine in a row.
This woman's face was unusually pale and nervous, she was also a child of the clan, and she came to participate in the selection of concubines by King Wu this time, and she was also full of expectations. If it is qinqi, calligraphy and painting, she is confident that she will not be worse than others, but if it is drinking, she really can't, but despite this, she still gritted her teeth, picked up the wine bowl in front of her, took a sip, and then, she squirted out violently.
This wine is not usually spicy, and it is like a fire in the mouth.
The woman's face quickly turned red and she coughed repeatedly, and a middle-aged woman next to her immediately helped her pat her back.
King Wu said coldly: "Next." ”
In this case, no woman can drink a full bowl of wine, let alone three bowls. The woman who had not drunk the wine was pale and depressed.
When it was Xiao Wanbing's turn, she stood up, glanced lightly in the direction of King Wu, picked up a bowl of wine with one hand and drank it in one go, the second bowl and the third bowl. Unexpectedly, the person drank three bowls of wine. For a while, there was silence in the field. is worthy of being the daughter of Captain Xiao. Both civil and military, talented and beautiful, and really compatible with King Wu.
