Chapter 176
Xia Rongxin smiled mysteriously, looked at Qi Bingyu with a curious face, and said coquettishly: "The concubine doesn't tell the emperor now, you can see the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet in three days." ”
Speaking, Xia Rongxin's face appeared with the joy of a little girl, this Chinese New Year's Eve dabbling ingenuity, will definitely make the guests inside and outside feel novel, she is full of confidence in this Chinese New Year's Eve dabbling, and can always think that Qi Bingyu will know when the time comes, and will praise her.
As for the recipes of the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet and the fireworks feast after the dinner, Xia Rongxin also put a lot of effort into studying these for several nights.
Xia Rongxin attaches so much importance to this Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, not only because this time she wants to show the strong strength of my Celestial Empire in front of foreign envoys, but also because she wants to show her unique and irreplaceable side in front of Qi Bingyu.
Xia Rongxin's sense of crisis that she hadn't had for a long time has been shrouded in her surroundings since the moment Lu Huiling arrived, she had been passive and decadent, giving Lu Huiling countless opportunities to climb up, and now that Lu Huiling has arrived in front of her, she must not continue to be decadent.
Xia Rongxin has been secretly competing with Lu Huiling in private, and no one is willing to lose to anyone, and this Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet is an excellent time for Xia Rongxin to prove herself.
It is not so much that Xia Rongxin is struggling with Lu Huiling, but that Xia Rongxin is struggling with Lu Fushuang, fighting with the young and beautiful Lu Fushuang, the simple and kind Lu Fushuang, Lu Huiling does not have Xia Rongxin's vicious scheming and means, and her temper is not as self-sustaining and dignified as Xia Rongxin should have at this age.
On the other hand, Xia Rongxin is not as smart and intelligent as Lu Hui, and she is not as young and beautiful as her, they dislike each other, but they inspire each other to do their best step by step.
"You, when did you become so coquettish." Qi Bingyu was in a very good mood today, and when he saw Xia Rongxin saying so delicately, he raised his hand and scratched her nose, and said with a doting smile.
Now Xia Rongxin is obviously old, but it seems that she has unintentionally learned to be coquettish with Lu Huiling, and learned from Lu Huiling to be well-behaved, but fortunately, Xia Rongxin has the skill to stay in her face, in addition to her unique dignified temperament, it is not very disobedient to deliberately dress up.
Qi Bingyu, as the emperor, is the master of the imperial city and the world, but Xia Rongxin didn't tell him, and deliberately wanted to sell him Guanzi, so he didn't ask anymore, in fact, everyone knew that as long as the emperor said that he wanted to read the booklet of the Internal Affairs Office, Gonggong He would be able to take it back for him immediately, if it wasn't for Qi Bingyu cooperating with Xia Rongxin, she wouldn't have been able to hide it from him.
"I think the concubines are used to being well-behaved on weekdays, but the emperor is not used to the concubines being coquettish, has the emperor forgotten, the concubine turned out to be a girl." Xia Rongxin blushed with shame, lowered her head and turned her face away, obviously shy because of this, but she still said coquettishly.
Today, they stood together in front of the imperial city, looking at the entire Shangjing City, and saw countless merchants walking to Shangjing with goods, and various surrounding countries sent envoys with gifts to congratulate the Celestial Empire on the New Year.
This is a big event, more importantly, this year Da Liang broke through the Celestial Empire's defense line for the first time, and also occupied the strongest state capital, so that the Celestial Empire felt the crisis for the first time, however, fortunately, Liang Fengmian and Qi Jingqin solved the crisis for the Celestial Empire, just after Chinese New Year's Eve, our army will definitely let the Da Liang enemy army roll out of the territory of the Celestial Empire.
This Chinese New Year's Eve feast, the whole country carnival, should be to celebrate their triumphant return in advance.
Then it was in the case that the victory and defeat were already clear, Da Liang still refused to withdraw the army, although he was defeated and retreated, and he was defeated repeatedly, but he did not have the slightest idea of giving up, and the most taboo thing about marching and fighting was the opponent who was not afraid of death.
But Liang Fengmian and Qi Jingqin are by no means idle, listening to the news of the victory repeatedly spread to Shangjing, if Qi Bingyu is ten years younger, he can't wait to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy together.
That is, seeing that Qi Bingyu was so happy, Xia Rongxin dared to speak like this.
Hearing Xia Rongxin say this, Qi Bingyu held on to the railing and laughed, and Xia Rongxin also blushed, and turned her face away coquettishly to stop looking at Qi Bingyu.
"Why is the emperor laughing so happily?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind them, Qi Bingyu and Xia Rongxin turned their heads when they heard the sound, only to find that it was Lu Huiling.
When Xia Rongxin saw Lu Huiling, the coquettish smile on her face was fleeting: Lu Huiling is really, she can be anywhere, and the emperor is happy today, and she has to come over to get involved.
Qi Bingyu saw Lu Huiling, stretched out his hand to her with a smile, and said, "Concubine Ming is here." ”
Lu Huiling's slender hand was placed on Qi Bingyu's hand stretched out to her, and she walked to Qi Bingyu's side, and in front of Xia Rongxin, she deliberately got closer to Qi Bingyu, just to make Xia Rongxin angry and jealous, and now the only fun is to watch Xia Rongxin angry but unable to do anything.
Xia Rongxin looked at Lu Huiling with a calm face, Lu Huiling naturally wouldn't let her find trouble, as soon as she stood beside Qi Bingyu, she withdrew her hand, held the Wanfu Gift to her waist, and slowly bowed to Xia Rongxin: "The concubine sees the emperor, and meets Mei Guifei Niangniang." ”
Qi Bingyu smiled and took Lu Huiling's hand and said, "At this time, just the three of us, where did we get so many rules. ”
Xia Rongxin didn't want Qi Bingyu to mistake her for a childish person, so she also pulled out a smile with difficulty: "Concubine Ming has Yaxing today, and she also took the stage with us to help the fun." ”
"The concubine originally went to find the emperor, but I heard from the people of the Qinzheng Palace that the emperor came to the stage, and the concubine thought of accompanying the emperor as well. How could I have thought that Mei Guifei Niangniang was actually here, but the concubine seemed to be so blind, disturbing the emperor and the concubine. Lu Huiling covered his mouth and smiled.
Xia Rongxin didn't want to listen to her apology so hypocritically: Obviously I came here on purpose, and I have to say something "how can I think of it", but my vision is there, but Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by, who doesn't know that you Lu Huiling did it on purpose.
Xia Rongxin ignored Lu Huiling, and walked to the railing, looking at this boundless territory with a slight frown, climbing high and looking into the distance, it was really pleasant.
"Hey~ What's the trouble here, don't bother, since you're here, let's look at the rivers and mountains with me." Qi Bingyu laughed loudly.
Lu Huiling also smiled, glanced at Xia Rongxin, who was standing aside and looking into the distance, and smiled as if unintentionally: "What is the emperor laughing at so happily, the concubine heard it below, can you say it so that the concubine is also happy?" ”
Qi Bingyu glanced at Xia Rongxin, and laughed out loud again, at this time, Qi Bingyu's laughter came into Xia Rongxin's ears, like a mockery, Xia Rongxin listened to his laughter, and refused to turn back and echo.
"Shu is guessing what kind of activities Mei Guifei will prepare at the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, but Mei Guifei will not tell Shu, Shu is really curious." After Qi Bingyu finished laughing, he talked to Lu Huiling about the conversation between Fang Cai and Xia Rongxin.
Word by word came into Xia Rongxin's ears, making her dissatisfied and ashamed, after all, she is so old, and she is still learning to be coquettish and cute like a young girl, trying to win the emperor's favor, which seems really ridiculous.
Although Xia Rongxin turned her head, she could see that her ears were red, and after Qi Bingyu saw it, he stopped laughing, stepped forward to support Xia Rongxin's shoulder, and said softly: "If you want to come to the concubine smart, the idea she came up with is naturally extremely good." ”
Qi Bingyu knew that Xia Rongxin was unhappy, but as an emperor, he took the initiative to talk to him, and he had already given enough steps.
Xia Rongxin naturally knew Qi Bingyu's temper, so she followed his words: "The concubine is ignorant, and she doesn't dare to be the emperor with such high praise." ”
As soon as he said this, Qi Bingyu laughed again, and Xia Rongxin also covered his mouth and smiled.
Lu Huiling looked at Xia Rongxin and smiled, but a bad taste arose in her heart, and she smiled at Qi Bingyu and said, "Does the emperor want to know what activities will happen at the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve?" It's okay for you to ask the concubine, although the concubine didn't participate in it herself, but she heard about it when she had nothing to do. ”
Xia Rongxin originally deliberately wanted to sell Guan Zi in front of the emperor, but Lu Huiling wanted to tell the emperor in front of her, if she said it, wouldn't her hard work be in vain, so she looked at Lu Huiling's eyes with a little more disgust.
"Oh?" Qi Bingyu became interested for a while, "Let's hear it." ”
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Lu Huiling was about to blurt out, Xia Rongxin hurriedly grabbed the emperor's arm and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this is the surprise that the concubine is preparing for you, if you know it in advance, wouldn't it be in vain the concubine's hard work." ”
She said this, even if Lu Huiling dared to continue, Qi Bingyu would not listen to it anymore.
"Since... Since it was Concubine Mei's surprise to me, I will allow you to sell such a pass first, and you will not disappoint me when the time comes. Qi Bingyu smiled and patted Xia Rongxin's hand gently.
Lu Huiling smiled and bent her eyes, her face was full of innocence, making it impossible to see what she was thinking in her heart.
"This is natural, the concubines will definitely hold this feast well to satisfy the emperor and the people of the world." Xia Rongxin nodded solemnly and said.
When Lu Huiling saw the two of them Jin Se and Ming, he didn't bother anymore, and stood alone beside Qi Bingyu, looking at the majestic mountains and rivers through his posture, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
Some people want to do their best to make the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet well, but some people want to destroy it.
No one knew what Lu Huiling was thinking at this time, and perhaps like everyone else, he was looking forward to the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet in three days, which must be different from all the usual family banquets.
