Text Chapter 56 The Banquet of the Wind Palace

After arriving at the palace, according to the ancestral system, Li Changxi dismounted, and Li Nanke also got off the car, and they were carried into the palace by two sedan chairs.

Above the main hall, hundreds of officials have been waiting for a long time.

And the singers of Bongkook's band never stopped all the way, and after entering the main hall, they could still be heard singing outside the hall. It's also new. After Mu Churan saw the Li family brothers and sisters saluting, he asked: "I have heard Jinling singing and dancing for a long time, but the singers outside this hall are singing from Jinling?" ”

After Mu Churan asked, an official in the palace snickered. My emperor is laughing at the people of Fengguo who are greedy for fun, of course he wants to cheer, hurry up and laugh.

Li Changxi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is laughing, these people are all singing for Your Majesty, and naturally they have to go to the Great Yin Emperor Capital to show their talents." ”

Xiao He listened on the side, and secretly said that this third prince would definitely be able to win Mu Churan's blue eyes, so he could wear a hat.

Mu Churan waved his hand, "Then you might as well let them come to the hall to perform." ”

Immediately, the orchestra of the eunuch Xuanfeng Guo entered the hall to perform.

The singers of the Fengguo Orchestra came to the hall together, bringing all kinds of musical instruments, such as bamboo flutes and bamboo shengs, long and wide like guqin and wooden zheng, and large pieces such as chimes and leather drums. Just waiting for this group of people to stand together has already consumed some time. At present, the palace is even more overwhelming, and there are dozens of people.

The musicians and singers played for the emperor of Yin, and they all worked hard to show their housekeeping skills.

This repertoire is "Little Yangchun" composed by Feng Ge, a famous musician in Jinling. The music started, the singing was harmonious, and in an instant the main hall was like the spring light in March, everyone was in a trance, such as seeing the green mountains and green forests, and the splendid scenery of the mountains and fields.

It's no wonder that Li Changxi traveled thousands of miles to take this group of people on the road. In ancient times, the famous song was interpreted by the gods, leaving a good story of "three days around the beam", and now the Chinese Orchestra sings, although it is a chorus of everyone, but it also has a different flavor, and the listeners are infected by the joyful rhythm of this "Little Yang Chun", and it is in tune with it, and Fu can help himself.

After the song was finished, Mu Churan asked Shen Suhang to comment on one or two. Although Shen Suhang is not an expert, his attainments in music and rhythm are not general. He praised the Fengguo Orchestra a lot. Li Changxi accepted his words, and after only a little politeness, he wanted to give the orchestra and singers to Mu Churan.

Mu Churan smiled indifferently, and accepted this group of people and gave them to the Queen Mother, which not only showed filial piety, but also showed his determination not to be greedy for pleasure as a king. Li Changxi took the opportunity to pat himself on the back again, singing praises to him to lead to his next topic.

"Empress Wu Dafeng deeply felt that Yin Jun was benevolent and filial, wise and brave Tianxi, inherited the great cause early, diligent and loved the people, scriptures and martial arts, and then the palace was empty, so I sent the princess of my country to form a relationship with His Majesty, conclude a hundred years of goodness, and keep the peace of the two countries forever."

Then Li Changxi naturally wanted to introduce Li Nanke's various goodness, while Mu Churan sat in the hall and listened quietly with a smile, completely unable to see what he was going to do.

Xu is Li Nanke thought that he had a deep conversation with Li Changxi, and he didn't show too many expressions, or he was too calm.

She had already made a plan in her heart at this moment, if the emperor immediately agreed to this family business, she would vigorously oppose it regardless of everything. However, it was only a marriage between the two countries, and if the person she married was not a king, but a minister of the Great Yin, wouldn't it also achieve this purpose?

If necessary, she will make it clear to Yin Jun that she has only Xiao He in her heart in this life, and she will never think about him again, let alone marry someone else. After Li Nanke made up his mind in his heart, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look in the direction where Xiao He was, I hope I have the same heart.

After listening to Li Changxi's introduction, Mu Churan's faint expression turned to a smile, as if he showed some interest in Li Nanke, and ordered him to take a step forward and wait for him to take a closer look.

The Queen Mother, who had been sitting upright behind the emperor, narrowed her eyes slightly, and she also saw that Li Nanke's appearance was indeed very outstanding, and now she was still young, and she was already so bright and moving before she grew up.

Such a beauty has entered the harem, can this emperor still tolerate other women from now on? Not to mention that she is the princess of Dafeng, and with the entire Dabong as her backing, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to control her in the future. If she gave birth to the prince first, and the emperor appointed her son as the prince on a whim, wouldn't nearly half of the great Yin country be handed over to Fengguo.

Leng Qingchen deeply felt that this woman would threaten his position, and he would never let her enter the emperor's harem. She glanced at Mu Churan's expression again, and seemed to like Li Nanke quite much, so she said loudly: "If Your Majesty is interested in the princess, it is better to keep the princess in the palace for a few more days, and the mourning family will order Qintian to monitor the eight-character marriage, and then choose a good day and an auspicious day to marry the princess into the palace." ”

Mu Churan calculated that Leng Qingji would not like Li Nanke, so he deliberately showed interest in Li Nanke, so that the natural queen mother would find a way to send this Fengguo princess for him. He just had to wait and see what was going on, and his eyes swept to the ministers, and inadvertently fell to where Xiao was.

Why is he about to get married, why is this Xiao happy? Where does his joy come from?

As soon as Li Nanke heard the Queen Mother's words, he had already agreed to the marriage on the surface, so he was about to go away. Her face changed, and she wanted to step forward to defend herself, but Li Changxi grabbed her long sleeves and pulled her forward to salute the palace. Li Changxi said loudly: "Thank you Queen Mother for taking care of the little sister." ”

So Li Nanke was arranged to live in the Tongxin Palace, which was specially reserved for the queen of the main palace. In this way, except for Mu Churan and Leng Qingjian, almost everyone thought that this marriage was a foregone conclusion.

In the afternoon, a banquet is set up in the palace to wash the dust for the envoys of the country, and officials above the fifth grade can bring their families to participate together, so as to show the benevolence of our emperor and the joy of the monarch and the ministers.

Xiao He returned home and changed his clothes, so he took the red beads to the banquet together.

In late autumn, the days are short, and in the middle of this palace feast, there are palace people who put on the lights, and they need to borrow the lights to continue. The singing and dancing performance at the banquet, Xiao He was not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment, she had already begun to plan in her heart how to connect with Li Nanke in the future, and how to convince her again.

Thinking about it carefully, this Mu Churan and Leng Qingchen's attitude was too bland, and they agreed to the marriage so easily. Mu Churan has never been very interested in beautiful women, and today he can also have a good eye for Li Nanke. Is it true that Li Nanke's stunning appearance makes him feel overwhelmed, or Mu Churan is simply a fake broken sleeve.

Xiao He rolled two thoughts in his heart, and then stopped thinking about it.

From time to time, people came to toast with her, and she took Hongzhu's hangover medicine in advance, so she did not refuse.

Duan Heng brought the wine jug over and squeezed it to her table, "Brother Xiao is in the limelight now, and his popularity is excellent. I counted the people who came to toast with you just now, and there were at least twenty of them. Duan Heng hiccuped as he spoke, looking at him like this, he was afraid that he was already five or six points drunk.

Xiao He shrank to the side, kept a distance from him and said: "Shizi said that I laughed, I haven't drunk so many cups myself, and you have counted more than twenty, isn't it that you have been staring at that dancing girl and have been dazzled." ”

"Tell all the nonsense, come, we two brothers drink one." As he spoke, Duan Heng grabbed her hand holding the wine glass and wanted to forcibly toast with her. Xiao He's hand shrank, and the residual wine in the cup spilled onto the hem of his clothes.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, come on, I'll help you dry it." If it weren't for the fact that he was so righteous before, Xiao He really didn't bother to pay attention to him, a drunk. She turned her head and instructed Hongzhu, "You accompany the prince to have a drink here, and I'll tidy it up." ”

"Yes, Childe." Hongzhu nodded, sat down, and poured wine for Duan Heng.

Xiao He got up and left the table, she had planned to find a place to deal with the wet hem of her clothes a little. When she turned to the side hall, she met a little eunuch and sent her a message, saying that the princess had invited her to come over and talk about it.

She was worried that she wouldn't have a chance to talk to Li Nanke, but when the opportunity came, she didn't think much about it, and left with the little eunuch.

After she was taken to the Tongxin Palace, the little eunuch retired. Li Nanke didn't know when he came back from the palace banquet, and after Xiao He entered the palace gate, he found that there was no palace person to serve him closely, and he was puzzled.

After entering the inner hall, I smelled a strange fragrance, and I felt that something was wrong. She heard some sounds inside, bypassed the screen and entered, and saw Li Nanke lying on the bed, as if he was a little unwell, his cheeks were flushed, his body was writhing, and his expression was still a little painful.

"Princess, princess!" Xiao He stepped forward and called her softly, and after a little inspection to see if there was anything wrong with her, Li Nanke grabbed her wrist. Li Nanke opened his eyes, saw that it was her, and muttered: "Xiao He, Xiao Gongzi ......"

Xiao He put his backhand on her pulse, and carefully probed, her pulse was beating very fast, weak inside and out, as if caused by drugs, and the pupils of her eyes were slightly open, her lips were dry and chapped, and she was hot and dry, but her palms were cold and damp. Nine out of ten were drugged.

As for what kind of medicine it was, Xiao He soon knew.

Li Nanke wriggled his body while grabbing her hand, and pulled it on himself, so desperate to get close to people, he was afraid that someone would deliberately arrange it to frame the two of them. Xiao He remembered the strange fragrance when he first came in, and presumably the problem was here. She quickly held her breath, then picked up Li Nanke and walked out.

Xiao He was about to find a secluded place with Li Nanke in his arms, trying to make her sober up, when he heard a voice in front of him, and it seemed that a group of people were coming to this Tongxin Palace. You don't have to think about it to know that the Queen Mother must have sent someone to catch the adulterer.

When Li Nanke was held in her arms, he wrapped around her tightly, hugged and kissed her. Fortunately, Xiao He has internal skills, and he can adjust his breath slower than ordinary people, so as not to be hit immediately.

If she is really a man, in this case, something will definitely happen to Li Nanke in this hall. And before Mu Churan and Li Nanke got married, if she really defiled the emperor's fiancΓ©e as the bureau person wished, I am afraid it would not be as simple as her losing her head alone.

will make such a move, at the expense of the innocent girl's innocence of killing two birds with one stone, looking at this palace, the most suspicious is naturally the queen mother. She's always been quick to get rid of herself.
