Chapter 178: Choosing a Kiss Banquet
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, everyone talked very happily, and was about to cut to the point, a high song disturbed the birds, and it sounded in the night sky.
"The Queen Mother has arrivedβ"
The bonfire in the center instantly condensed, as if the air was standing still.
No one knows, no one knows. Empress Dowager Xiao and Murong sisters and brothers have a bad relationship, although they are harmonious on the surface, they seem to share the joy of family, but in fact, they are divided into separate halls and are incompatible.
Empress Dowager Xiao is obviously not a good person.
I only heard his voice but didn't see his person, and the person arrived before the voice: "How can the mourning family stand by and watch the husband selection banquet for a long time?" β
The tone is slow, indifferent and indifferent.
A graceful and luxurious woman, in front of a group of slaves, hugged and walked into the banquet, wearing nine phoenixes and golden steps, wearing a moon wolf jade clothes, noble and majestic, and extraordinary.
What a ruthless character!
"Meet the Queen Mother!" The pro-dynasty ministers of South Vietnam stood up and bowed.
"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother." The little king of Nanyue stood up respectfully to greet him, and his eyes trembled.
Empress Dowager Xiao is not the grandmother of the Murong sisters and brothers, but the biological mother of the previous king of Nanyue.
Murong Jiuyue didn't smile at the skin, and followed to say goodbye: "Grandmother, it's really hard for you." β
Empress Dowager Xiao flicked her phoenix sleeves and stepped straight onto the throne.
Murong Lan trembled and gave up the position of the lord.
Yun Xiyao's eyebrows were raised lightly, and the corners of her mouth were pursed with an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Murong Jiuyue frowned tightly and took a deep breath, even if he was not satisfied in his heart, he couldn't tear his face at such a time and let the envoys of various countries see the joke.
Several courtiers tried to persuade them, but they were held back by life.
It's not the first time, it's the same reason every time, the same tricks, it's not strange.
"Lan'er, come to Grandmother." Empress Dowager Xiao sat down, patted a corner of the throne, and called the little Nanyue King to come and sit together.
Murong Lan, the king of Little Nanyue, secretly glanced at the eldest sister, saw her nodding, replied "yes" respectfully, and sat down beside the Empress Dowager Xiao with a smile.
"The mourning family invited the prince of Tantai several times, but they were all refused, and the mourning could only come uninvited." Empress Dowager Xiao caressed Murong Lan's shoulder, her voice was hoarse, and she looked at Mo Feimo.
Mo Feimo was stunned for a moment, and then scolded in surprise: "There is such a thing? It must be that these minions are getting more and more disagreeable, and they are doing things so-so, and this palace will definitely treat these slaves well when they go back. β
The smile on Empress Dowager Xiao's face condensed slightly.
Such far-fetched excuses...... Yun Xiyao secretly held back a smile, this skill of opening her eyes and telling nonsense is a must......
Nangong Piaoxue and Ying Yi glanced at each other, it seems that Nanyue's trip to the muddy waters is not good for sugar, the eldest princess and the Empress Dowager Xiao are fighting openly and secretly, and it is not certain who will kill the deer.
A simple time is highly likely to be the fuse.
"The envoys of Yunxi and Beiyan came from afar, and the mourning family is unwell today, and there is no reason, so please don't be surprised by the envoys of the two countries." A seat is neither humble nor arrogant, generous and polite.
Then again, it stands to reason that she shouldn't entertain her, really...... Gee......
Lin Yi smiled lightly: "The Queen Mother is too polite!" β
Li Linfu, the envoy of Beiyan, hurriedly surrendered his hand, "I have heard the demeanor of the Queen Mother for a long time, and I am fortunate to see Fengyan today, which is more majestic and dazzling than the rumors." β
"Your envoy has a good reputation." When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, a wrinkle appeared on her face, women, without exception, like such praise.
What woman in this world doesn't want her youth to last forever and be as beautiful as a fairy, even if she is the queen mother.
Murong Jiuyue's phoenix eyes turned slightly, and her charming eyes smiled, "Imperial Grandmother, your body has not yet healed, and the night is windy, be careful not to get caught in the cold, let's send you back to have a good rest, I will entertain the envoys from all over the world." β
Before the words fell, Murong Jiuyue smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she held Empress Dowager Xiao's arm and lifted it up.
Empress Dowager Xiao was helpless, sighed lightly, grabbed Murong Jiuyue's wrist, and smiled aggressively on her face, "It is related to Jiuyue's lifelong affairs and my southern crossing, how can the mourning family rest well?" What is a mere wind chill? β
The grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other with a smile on their faces.
One is dignified and elegant, the other is smiling, and they are secretly competing in their hands.
Empress Dowager Xiao turned out to be a practitioner with deep skills, and at such an age, she was not reckless in her strength, and she was evenly matched with Murong Jiuyue.
"The mourning family inherits the destiny of heaven, the gods protect it, and all evils do not invade. Rest assured...... "Empress Dowager Xiao grabbed Murong Jiuyue's hand heavily, put it in her palm and patted it, how kind and kind it is, but what is inside, only the person concerned knows best.
Murong Jiuyue withdrew her hand, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth: "Grandmother Lao is bothered, how can she be happy?" β
Yun Xiyao's eyes lit up, and she took all of this into her eyes, and ate melons by herself.
Haha, the melon in the grassland desert tastes so good, it's really lovely, and I want to eat it after eating it.
Sunny, tender and juicy.
"Childe, Empress Dowager Xiao is the main attacker, and she is the one who robbed our Yunxi while the fire is on, hum, old witch!" A black head leaned into Yun Xiyao's ear and whispered about the current situation.
Yun Xiyao ignored it, picked up another piece, and continued to eat it freely.
Wang Sen's face was blindfolded: "......"
Queen Mother, you came all the way to South Vietnam, just to eat melons?
Mo Feimo seemed to glance back, and Yu Guang happened to catch a glimpse of Yun Xiyao's cute appearance eating melons, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly, and the next second he frowned and looked away lightly.
"Does Jiuyue have a decision in her heart?" Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and looked down, Jin Cuibu shook under the reflection of the bonfire, and the whole person looked unspeakably expensive.
The corners of Murong Jiuyue's mouth twitched, and she said perfunctorily: "Grandmother, not yet." β
"The mourning family looks at the talent of the prince of Tantai, and he is a talented woman with Jiuyue, but he is a very good match, and Jiuyue thinks the same, right?" Empress Dowager Xiao's old face was still charming, and she suddenly looked at Mo Feimo.
Everyone was silent and looked at each other.
Empress Dowager Xiao was half tentative and half ridiculous, and silently wrote down in her heart that Mo Fei had turned a blind eye to her before, and probably wanted to get back some ground.
Murong Jiuyue is ten years older than Mo Feimo, but age is not a problem in Nanyue, the new king ascended the throne and accepted a wide range of concubines, including his father's concubines, into the harem, and the difference of more than ten years is not new at all.
Yun Xiyao paused, hooked the corners of her mouth and glanced up.
Mo Feimo was silent and looked at Yun Xiyao faintly.
Murong Jiuyue's eyebrows were tightly locked, she was very displeased, and her tone hardened, "Grandmother, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, it's a small matter of insulting Jiuyue, don't ruin the reputation of Prince Tangtai, if you marry Lingyun in the future, how to get along with King Lingyun!" β
It is worthy of being the goddess of galloping on the battlefield, and her momentum has not diminished back then, stunning the Quartet.
Empress Dowager Xiao's body stiffened slightly, realizing that she didn't check her slip of the tongue for a while, even if she was dissatisfied, she could only suffer a dumb loss and laugh dryly.
Yun Xiyao raised her eyebrows, hehe, she is worthy of being the little aunt she fancies, how can she be bullied casually?
