Chapter 188: Such a Palace Banquet
The emperor listened to Jiang Yuntian's words, and turned his head to look at the dozens of stalls in the venue, and the ministers who were trading in silver on them, his family and the concubines in the palace showed a happy smile on their faces, because he didn't expect the palace to create such value.
Different from the emperor's concern, those ministers and their wives walked around the venue, so as to taste all kinds of special snacks.
Consumption is a general thing for them, they just experience this pleasure.
Compared with the formality of the previous palace banquets, this way is very relaxed.
So they all have smiles on their faces, and they spend their money very happily.
Because they know that the money is still used to donate, they are naturally willing to pay out of their pockets.
Now you can see that all the stalls in the whole venue are lit with a lot of lanterns.
The colors of the lanterns are also different, and their signature names are also designed with their own characteristics.
Then a joyful atmosphere was created in the venue.
And what's interesting is that there are a lot of tables and chairs not far away, and they can take these snacks to sit on those tables.
And directly opposite the tables and chairs, there is an observation deck, and there are singing and dancing performances on the observation deck, and they are very relaxed while eating and watching the show.
Originally, the opening music was a few beautiful women, playing music, so that the scene presented a joyful atmosphere.
They were talking, watching the show.
Suddenly, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky not far away, and the fireworks did not bloom at the same time, but from east to west with different colors from high to low and from low to high, and then the music also coordinated from high to low, and everyone was amazed.
Just when everyone was watching the fireworks, some attentive people found that the stage was already busy changing.
By the time the fireworks fell, the stage had already turned into several women wearing Western costumes dancing, especially their small waists and veils, which made the eyes of the people below suddenly light up.
Jiang Yuntian knew that the appearance of belly dancing would definitely attract the attention of the people present.
After all, the slender figure and bewitching dancing posture, with the mysterious veil, are so impactful.
On the side of the stage, several foreigners were beating music, which immediately drove the atmosphere of the scene, many people took this snack and sat at the table, and some people stood directly under the stage and stared wide-eyed.
Because they were wearing masks and the lights weren't too bright, everyone didn't know each other very well, so everyone was very relaxed.
Just because they don't have to worry about their official position and identity, some men directly called out their voices.
The sounds of "good, good" come and go, forming a characteristic picture in the square of the palace.
Seeing the displeasured expression, the queen couldn't help but say, "It seems too undignified to dance like this. “
The emperor looked at it very happily and said with a smile: "Today is a special palace banquet, it is for everyone to relax, there is no need to go to the platform to say so seriously, everyone is happy, today is to make everyone happy and relaxed." “
Jiang Yuntian was originally worried because of the queen's anger, but when he heard the emperor say this, he couldn't help but relax and couldn't help but peek at it, and Hua Yiyun, who was holding him tightly at this time.
saw that Hua Yiyun was also looking at the stage at this time, and then he was still very serious, and couldn't help but pinch his arm hard, so that Hua Yiyun quickly withdrew his gaze to her side.
Seeing the embarrassment on Hua Yiyun's face, Jiang Yuntian couldn't help but smile.
She didn't get angry, because she thought that men like beautiful women, especially when it was human nature to dance like this, and it would be strange if he didn't look at it.
The exotic dance brought a warm atmosphere to the scene, and then many officials who were originally Sven were completely relaxed at this time.
Some followed, slapping the table or munching on meat with wine, their eyes fixed on the stage and shouting cheers.
As soon as the exotic dance on the stage ended, and then the lights dimmed, I heard the melodious sound of the piano on the river.
Everyone found that a small boat was slowly rowing over the river, and the surrounding area of Xiaozhou Mountain was full of colorful candle flames, so everyone could see the people sitting on the boat.
The white gauze skirt and elegant dress made her look like a fairy.
Then the melodious sound of the piano made the emotions of the high-pitched people just now slowly fall down again.
When the boat approached the shore, everyone found out that this was the prince's side concubine Jiang Duxue, and everyone couldn't help but applaud when they listened to such skillful playing and melodious music.
Jiang Duxue originally wanted to show off her talent at this party, and her sister Jiang Yuntian designed such a unique way for him to appear.
Originally, she was worried that Jiang Yuntian deliberately put her far away, so that everyone could not see clearly.
At this time, she was very excited when she heard the applause, and felt that she would not only give herself a face, but also give the prince a long face.
Unlike Jiang Duxue thought, the crown prince, who was standing there at this time and was also looking at him, had a very complicated mood.
On the one hand, he does feel that his side concubine is indeed good in piano skills.
At this time, in the night, especially in the candlelight, looking at Jiang Muxue is indeed a beauty.
It's just that when he turned his head, when he saw Yi Wang and Jiang Yuntian standing together lovingly, his heart was much worse, and his face sank.
In the past, the palace banquet or the most common game outside was charades, which were games for some literati.
But Jiang Yuntian knew that there were still many martial artists here, and there were some people who were not highly educated, so these people had no chance to participate, and those who were in the limelight were those who were in the limelight.
So she decided that this time the game had changed, and she could participate in it all.
For example, there are simple games such as grabbing stools and drumming and passing flowers.
The rules of these games are that the winner can write her name on the donation list, while the loser has to donate more silver, and the name is naturally nominated.
Everyone is not short of these silver, but they are happy to participate.
Some games were played lively, so there were people eating, there were people talking, there were people watching, and the whole night was lively.
Halfway through the party, Jiang Yuntian invited the emperor to speak on the stage and wrote an inscription for the party.
The emperor was very happy and readily agreed, splashing ink on the table and writing a few of his own words.
Jiang Yuntian saw that the emperor's inscription was "Guotai Min'an", and then turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, can I borrow your word to do something?"
The emperor was happy and said, "These words have been rewarded to you, you can do whatever you want." ”
After Jiang Yuntian got the emperor's consent, he turned around and stood on the stage, picked up the inscription and said to the officials in the audience: "This is the word that the emperor just mentioned, and now I will auction it out, I hope everyone will bid enthusiastically, and the one with the highest price will win." Then this money is also going to be donated to the disaster area. ”
Hearing Jiang Yuntian say this, everyone on and off the stage was shocked, and then after a while, they heard a lot of discussion below.
The first to receive Jiang Yun's intention was her husband, Hua Yiyun shouted loudly: "I am willing to give fifty taels of gold." ”
Because someone drove it, and then the prince shouted, "I will give you a hundred taels of gold." ”
Some ministers also began to follow suit: "I'll give two hundred taels." ”
Everyone's voices came and went, and after a while, they rose to eight hundred taels.
The emperor didn't expect that his works could be exchanged for money in this way, so standing on the stage and looking at the way everyone below stretched out their hands to quote very excitedly, which made him feel new and a sense of accomplishment.
His four words can show the value of wealth in this way, so he is curious about how much he will sell for in the end.
In this shouting one after another, in the end, the emperor's four words were shouted to five thousand taels of gold, and he was a person with an accent different from ordinary people.
Everyone turned their attention to him, only to find that this person was not a local.
A foreigner, to be exact.
Because there were foreign envoys invited to this palace banquet, they knew that there were foreigners in it, but there were many foreigners who did not know them, so everyone was curious.
It's just that at this time, everyone was not only surprised by the price he offered, but also surprised by her appearance, because he was not only tall, but also different from ordinary people, but he was a very good-looking kind.
Because this person was standing in the crowd, and Jiang Yuntian was standing on the stage very far away, so she naturally couldn't see her appearance clearly, and in the end, because the auction price was very high, he finally won the bid.
After getting it, Jiang Yuntian found out that this person's appearance was a typical Westerner, or a typical European beautiful man.
His fair skin, blue eyes, high nose bridge, and thin lips make him stand out.
And because he walked to the stage, the woman in the audience let out an exclamation.
Jiang Yun thought in his heart, if this man is put in modern times, it will definitely be the figure of a model and the temperament of a royal family.
Yes, royal temperament.
Because, the temperament on him really has an aggressive temperament, and it also has a typical European aristocratic temperament.
The emperor also asked curiously: "Congratulations, where are you from?" What is your name? “
The man crossed his hands on his chest, bowed his head and said to the emperor: "I am from Persia, my name is Morati, I just arrived in your country yesterday, and I didn't expect to catch up with the palace banquet of your country, so I happened to come to participate, and I am very honored." “
"Oh, it turned out that you only came here yesterday, so you really came by coincidence. I wish you all the best in your affairs in our country. “
"Thank you, Your Majesty, because of the limited time, I didn't have time to formally meet you, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness."
Morati was beside him, who seemed to be a person in the same season, and hurriedly introduced to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the prince of our Persian Kingdom, that is to say, it is equivalent to the prince of our country. ”
The emperor listened to the introduction, nodded to him, and finally understood why he could come in and participate, and he could still pay so much money.
"Thank you for your support of us, and for your support of our country."
Morati said with a smile: "This is as it should be, I have long heard that your country is strong, and seeing your palace banquet tonight is really an eye-opener, not only distinctive, but also very level." ”
When the emperor heard a foreigner's praise, his face was also very bright, and he said with a smile: "This is the credit of Princess Yi next to me, I just want everyone to relax together and celebrate the festival happily together." ”
Hearing this, Morati leaned over to Jiang Yun, "It's an honor to meet Madame, I hope we will become friends in the future." ”
Jiang Yun leaned out of politeness and smiled at him.
It's just that, I don't know why, she always feels that this foreign prince looks at her with something special.
