Chapter 60: The Night Feast

Exiting the palace, the hearts of several people were filled with a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and they didn't care about the tight beads of sweat on their faces, so they hurriedly quickened their pace and left.

In the hall, Xiao Chuhong clenched his fist with one hand and put it to his lips, coughed a few times, his face was pale with an abnormal flush, it seemed that his body was not very good!

————————————

Kyoto is bustling these days! The reason for this is that the birthday envoys of Xilin and Nanyue have arrived one after another.

After recuperating for a few days, Xiao Ruoruo, who has significantly improved her body, plans to go out of the house today.

"Ruoruo, the second brother will go too! You must have someone to help you carry things when you go shopping, the second brother goes, the second brother can ......"

Xiao Ruoruo really has a headache, she has been pestered by her second brother for a few days!

Now Xiao Ruoruo is closer to Xiao Jingyi than her parents! Since he went to the old girl's territory, he was impressed by the strange things inside, and when Xiao Ruoruo took him and Pei Qingshuang back to the palace quietly from the tunnel, his admiration for Xiao Ruoruo was like a surging river!

pressed his temples, waved his hand and said, "You can go if you want, my second sister-in-law and I don't need you to take things!" She didn't forget that Xiao Jingyi still had a hole in her right shoulder!

rolled his eyes and went out with Pei Qingshuang, who was covering his mouth and snickering.

If you want to study the origin of the "second sister-in-law", you have to start a few days ago.

That day, Xiao Jingyi and Pei Qingshuang rested for a night in a drunken dream. Early the next morning, he was taken back to Prince Gong's mansion by Xiao Ruoruo from the tunnel.

At that time, Xiao Chuhe and Li Yue were simply stunned! Looking at the few people who suddenly appeared in front of him, he had to make another inquiry!

Xiao Ruoruo felt that such a thing might not be able to be eliminated in the future, so he told them the truth and told them about the secret passage in the cellar of the mansion.

It's just that she didn't say anything about Xiao Jingyi and Pei Qingshuang sleeping naked in the cave, which can be regarded as preserving Pei Qingshuang's reputation. After all, even if the two of them held a wedding, not to mention that the wedding was destroyed, even if they were already husband and wife at the time, doing such a thing would make these women in feudal society feel ashamed and unacceptable. If you haven't passed the door yet, you don't like your mother-in-law, then it's not good!

Knowing that Xiao Jingyi was injured, Xiao Chuhe immediately waved his hand and let them go back to the room to rest. But he himself went to the General's Mansion to inform Pei's father that the two had been recovered, and secondly, to agree on an auspicious time by the way, to make up the wedding of the two children again.

Three days later, Pei Qingshuang got married from the cold incense pavilion of the palace, worshiped Xiao Jingyi, and became a relative. As for why she chose Leng Xiangge, it was because Pei Qingshuang thought that her life was saved by Xiao Ruoruo, and she walked from other courtyards, which felt too rusty and not suitable, so the two girls who were very close to each other got along in harmony for three days.

Speaking of which, Xiao Ruoruo felt that his second brother was simply not worthy of the elegant and virtuous Qingshuang! But people love her brother, and she can only be happy!

When the group came to the street, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law started the street search mode.

On the street, you can see pedestrians in exotic costumes everywhere strolling and watching, and even in the bazaar, there are stalls they have set up, listing all kinds of commodities that are rarely seen in Dongli in different forms, attracting many people to watch and buy, and there are some rich sons and famous ladies who spend a lot of money, perhaps just for a piece of jade jue and a crystal powder hairpin...... Of course, no matter what time, there are no shortage of performers on the streets, what top bowls, iron rings, rings, drill fire rings, etc., etc., are dizzying, and the performances are wonderful, and the spectators can't help but applaud!

Xiao Ruoruo and Pei Qingshuang went to see everything, but they also bought a lot of things, and then the two went to sit and rest in the private room on the second floor of a teahouse near the street, and watched the artist's performance through the window by the way.

After a trip, Rao is Xiao Jingyi's good physique, when he arrived in the private room, he also sat down on the chair all of a sudden! Looking at the two sisters-in-law who were still in high spirits, he almost doubted life! Isn't his body not even comparable to that of two women?! It's incomprehensible!

His reaction was ridiculous, Xiao Ruoruo! Pei Qingshuang was a little distressed, but thinking that he had to follow, he began to gloat again!

Should! Call you clingy!

Just as they were drinking tea and eating pastries, Liuli next to Li Yue came to pass the word.

"The second son and second lady of Qiyu, the lord of Qiyu, the princess orders you to go back to the house immediately to prepare for the dinner held in the palace today!"

When Xiao Ruoruo was still young, Li Yue sent her personal maid Liuli to Lengxiang Pavilion in order to better take care of and protect her, and later after Xiao Ruoruo rescued Frost and Shengxue, she let Liuli return to her mother's side.

Hearing this, several people followed back to the house without saying a word.

In fact, it was only about midnight (10 o'clock in the morning), and the kitchen had only begun to prepare lunch, and the dinner party had to wait until 6 o'clock in the evening, and there were still four hours for them to prepare, so there was really no need to be in such a hurry!

But Xiao Ruoruo didn't forget the yellow handkerchief embroidered with a golden dragon on that side, so she had to prepare in advance! Although there were envoys from other countries present at that time, Xiao Chuhong might not dare to mess around.

"Bully Shuang, go and inform the merciful star, let her send a message to them, be careful of the wind tonight! In addition, you need 200 people to invite Yue, and when the palace banquet is about to end, you will take people to guard the only way back home! Returning to the Cold Fragrance Pavilion, Xiao Ruoruo opened her mouth with a faint expression.

"Yes!"

Except for three or four days of snow since the winter solstice, it has been as sunny and warm as today.

asked someone to move a chair and put it in the yard, and Xiao Ruoruo sat on it with a big smile and basked in the sun.

The winter sun was not as strong as in summer, but moisturizing things silently, and the sun was warm on her body, as if her bones were about to be soft, and it was not long before she fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that she was sleeping deeply, Shengxue went into the house and took a thick brocade cotton blanket and covered her. I slept until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, when I was woken up by the intimate Shengxue.

She didn't wake up too early, and there was still more than half an hour before the dinner began. Because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat much at the banquet, he asked Shengxue to prepare some food in advance.

Simply used some, and quickly packed himself, and then took Sheng Xue out of the door, and happened to meet Liuli, who was ordered to come to find her, knowing that it was his father and they were all together, Xiao Ruoruo sped up.

The family rode in a carriage to the palace.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, rows of carriages that were either gorgeous and flamboyant, or low-key and simple, or luxurious and restrained stopped one after another. Due to the arrival of envoys from other countries, the Praetorian Guards guarding the gate had to be carefully examined, and if there was a slight mistake at that time, then their life would be over!

There were many ministers like them who came to the banquet early, and when they saw Xiao Chuhe, they had to say a few words of greeting. And the relatives of those ministers, Xiao Ruoruo and others did not ignore it, and they all saluted each other.

And those forbidden soldiers didn't let them wait long, they checked them one by one, and let them in. So soon it was their turn.

After some tossing, everyone walked into the palace gate as they wished, and went straight to the venue for the banquet, which was a spacious palace - Xianyun Palace, and there were already many people in it at this time.

The people in the hall who originally pushed the cups and changed the lamps saluted one after another, and then greeted them again.

Of course, Xiao Jingyan and Xiao Jingyi and his wife also had to socialize, so they didn't have time to care about her, so she was left to sit in her seat and eat.

Xiao Ruoruo's face was about to stiffen with laughter! This kind of banquet is the most boring, and personally, she doesn't want to come!

The envoys also arrived one after another, and it didn't take long for Li Dequan's duck voice to sound, and His Majesty our Emperor finally appeared!

Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, the robe was embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, and under the turbulent golden waves at the corner of the robe, the sleeves were blown high by the wind. His long half-white hair was tied up, and he wore a crown with a bright yellow tiar, and the middle of the crown was inlaid with precious stones, and thin beaded chain tassels hung down on both sides. The noble one is so afraid that people dare not approach it easily!

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers all bowed to the ground, and the messengers only bowed.

I don't know if it's an illusion, when Xiao Ruoruo lowered her head, she felt that the emperor glanced at her.

"Everyone loves Qing's body!" Xiao Chuhong laughed, looked at the envoy and said sonorously, "Haha! On this birthday, I originally thought that it would be the same as in previous years, but I never thought that the two monarchs would be so hearted, I am very happy, I am very happy! Hahahaha! ”

Everyone also smiled in cooperation and looked at the few people who came from afar.

The first person sitting on the right hand side of the emperor is His Royal Highness the Prince, and the head of the Prince is the envoy of the Xilin Kingdom. In order to show sincerity, Xilin sent a prince and a princess to come.

And the man with a light smile on his face, long eyebrows, and a body like a jade tree is Ji Baihan, the third prince of Xilin, and sitting next to him is his half-sister Ji Ruxue, the fifth princess.

Sitting first on the left hand side of the emperor is Xiao Chuhe. Seemingly a little dissatisfied with this arrangement, he glanced at Xiao Yizhao coldly. Xiao Chuhe's next head is the envoy of Nanyue Kingdom, the right minister - Liu Wenxi.

As his name suggests, he is brilliant and courteous. People can't help but think of a poem that is very suitable for him: the four surnames are real-named, Wen Dexi Chunyi. And next to him there was also a beautiful and elegant woman, wearing an azure brocade ruyi skirt, and a robe embroidered with large camellia flowers of the same color. looks a little similar to Liu Wenxi, but it is his sister-in-law Liu Shuya.

Hearing the emperor say this, several of them stood up, and Ji Baihan raised his glass and said, "Haha! It is a blessing for Bai Han to be able to come to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, and it is also a blessing for snow! ”

Liu Wenxi also smiled calmly: "Hahahaha!" What the three princes said is extremely true! Wen Xi thought so too! ”
