Chapter 33: The Palace Banquet (2)
"Who's that woman?" Someone in the crowd asked.
"I know, I know, she is Nangong Keqing, who was named the county lord by the emperor not long ago......"
At this time, Mu Wan'er had already recovered from the shock and muttered, "She is the county lord?" โ
Entering the palace gate, you will go to the inner city, and there are many people who come to participate in the palace banquet today.
Nangong Keqing looked at Yu Wenyue with ill intentions, and teased: "At the gate of the palace just now, didn't you see the eyes of those women looking at you, naked admiration!" Your sister was almost killed by those resentful looks! โ
"My sister is so fond of joking, my sister is dressed up so beautifully today, but she will attract bees and butterflies." He also refused to admit defeat and ridiculed back.
"Tut-tut...... I'm such a low-key person to be said to be like this, do you see if I'm full of pearls or full of ayaluo? He spun around as he spoke.
Yu Wenyue nodded cooperatively, "Hmm! is very low-key, but it can't hide my sister's nobility and elegance, fresh and refined! โ
"Hmmm! When did Brother Xiaoyue learn to pat on the back? Nangong Keqing laughed "poof".
Luo Bingqing looked at the way their sister and brother got along with each other, it was really a bit incredible, she was envious, but not jealous.
The palace banquet had not yet started, Yu Wenyue took Nangong Keqing around the palace and returned to the palace banquet.
At a glance, the glazed tiles of the heavy eaves roof, the vermilion lacquer door, the yellow glazed tiles shine dazzlingly in the sunlight, and the antique buildings make people feel solemn spontaneously.
The carved dragon and gold lacquer throne in the hall is what many people have dreamed of until death. The incense burner on the pedestal emitted bursts of sandalwood, and the bell rang under the corridor of the main hall and struck the chime (pรก
The music is melodious.
The ladies of the official family are all carefully dressed up and dressed up, and each of them is more beautiful than flowers! And those officials and wives are all dressed up, and the costumes they wear are extremely luxurious!
There were rows of neat seats on both sides of the main hall, and many people began to sit in the order of respect and inferiority, Nangong Keqing picked the most inconspicuous place and sat down, and saw Luo Bingqing also walking this way, "Hello county lord!" It's inconvenient to be at the gate of the palace just now, so I haven't thanked you yet! Luo Bing gave a salute.
Nangong Keqing was taken aback: "Miss Luo, do you know me?" โ
"Hmmm! The girl's name has long been spread all over the streets, from poetry conferences to medical clinics...... The county lord, who has admired the name for a long time, is fortunate to see three lives today. Luo Bingqing said generously.
"Miss Luo is polite, let's sit together!"
"Good!" As soon as the voice fell, a sharp voice was heard: "The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived." โ
Everyone looked at it, and they all stood up and saluted, "The emperor is safe, and the queen is auspicious." โ
Emperor: Today is a family banquet, don't be restrained, sit down.
Everyone: Thank you, Your Majesty. (Sitting)
At this time, a group of maids lined up in a neat line and filled each table with eight treasured dishes in order.
During the dance, everyone watched the dance, drank and drank by themselves, laughed in twos and threes, and pushed the cup to change the lamp.
The sound of silk and bamboo, the singing and dancing, the fire trees and silver flowers never sleep......
Nangong Keqing was a little interested in drinking herself, Luo Bingqing saw that she was not used to it, and took the initiative to chat...... From time to time, he chuckled......
Mu Wan'er watched them chatting so happily, and her smile was very dazzling.
Concubine Shugui on the stage noticed Nangong Keqing early, and a touch of viciousness flashed......
"Your Majesty, it's like this every year, and the emperor doesn't bother his concubines," Concubine Shu said pretentiously, with a charming style between her eyebrows.
"Oh? What is the opinion of the concubine? The emperor said.
The queen knew that she was going to be a demon again, so she glanced at her very calmly and remained silent.
"Your Majesty, look! There are so many young and beautiful official women in the audience, they must have started to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when they were young, and they need to be given the opportunity to perform. Second, the age of our three princes is almost time to marry a wife, this is an opportunity to understand! These three are also for the emperor's happiness, and the programs are diverse! How is the emperor?
Concubine Jing has always been a calm and unhurried person, dressed in plain clothes, noble and elegant, and looked extremely cold from a distance, as if nothing could affect her. She indifferently raised her teacup and took a sip of tea......
Nangong Keqing looked at Yu Wenyue, feeling the indifference on his face, he didn't say anything, but the coldness and inaccessibility emanating from his body could not be ignored, and Xiao Yue looked more and more mature and stable.
Liu Jieyu, who was dressed up next to her, opened her mouth: "This idea is very good!" Kill three birds with one stone. Then several concubines reconsidered.
The emperor didn't speak, the old emperor was a little disgusted with her, just because both mother and son were evil, and then the old emperor was silent for a moment and nodded.
Concubine Shu was proud, and said in a pretentious manner: "Have you heard it?" all show their housekeeping skills, and the emperor can be rewarded. โ
After finishing speaking, a woman who showed love immediately walked into the center of the field, "Courtier, Zhao Feiyan, would like to offer a dance." "Say goodbye and bow down.
Nangong Keqing almost spit out a mouthful of tea because she reported to her home, and she actually had the same name.
This concubine is the mother concubine of Rui Wang Yu Wenyan, and at first glance she is a master who is not easy to mess with, and she deeply feels that there is a smell of conspiracy.
"Good!" After speaking, the gentle sound of musical instruments poured out, and the slender figure accompanied by the music gently swinging the long sleeves, dancing, watching her bend her waist to take a slight step, showing her wrists in the light yarn, her eyes were full of spring water, and the hair bun was obliquely inserted into the jasper dragon and phoenix hairpin, beating with the dance, it was beautiful, but unfortunately, this Zhao Feiyan was not Zhao Feiyan!
Zhao Feiyan is definitely an outstanding dancer, and her palm dance is a celebrity through the ages!
Nangong Keqing nested in the corner, eating the food in front of her, and had to say a few words to Luo Bingqing from time to time, and the two of them had a good impression of each other, so they were also very speculative in their talking.
The performance continues, nothing more than dance, guzheng, pipa, etc., but none of them can be admired, and everyone is stupid when they see it.
"Courtier, Mu Wan'er, would like to present a song to cheer up." Before Mu Wan'er walked on the stage, Ying Ying bowed, and her voice was as pleasant as a yellow bird.
Then the slender jade fingers plucked the strings, the jump of the ten fingers, one by one notes bubbled out from the strings like flowing water, the sleeves and the brown-red guqin complemented each other, the skin was like condensation, the jade fingers played the mountains and flowing water like the clouds and flowing water, the sleeves fluttered like dancing, like butterfly wings, the sound of the piano was melodious and tactful, and the ears were as pleasant as the sound of springs. After a few moments, the sound of the piano faded away......
"Good! This piano talks very well, the aftermath lingers, and it can't be dispersed for a long time, the emperor, the concubine is right? Concubine Shu smiled and spoke.
"Hmmm! Reward! "The emperor is still so majestic and high, and he doesn't express much appreciation."
Luo Bingqing approached Nangong Keqing's side, "County Lord, what are you going to perform?" โ
"Nothing to perform." Why do you want to show them? She's not a circus monkey.
Although she was surprised, but she took it for granted, she always felt that this county lord was not ordinary, but she couldn't say why.
Nangong Keqing stuffed a grape in her mouth and smiled smartly, "What do you think of Miss Mu's playing?" โ
Luo Bingqing thought for a while, and then said seriously: "The sense of pitch and rhythm is also strong, and the piano skills are very good, but it's just ...... There are no feelings. โ
Nangong Keqing looked at her and smiled in agreement......
Mu Wan'er was instantly stunned when she received the emperor's reward, and she raised her head to look at the two who were chatting, but the two of them didn't even give her the afterglow. There is a kind of person in the world who is like Mu Wan'er, who takes herself too seriously.
Mu Wan'er looked at the two of them and didn't notice herself at all, so she was even more annoyed, and said disregardlessly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Miss Luo's family is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is called a talented girl by many people, why don't you let us see it?"
Luo Bingqing was chatting with Nangong Keqing, and when he heard that he was named, his expression was stunned, and the two glanced at each other......
