Chapter 367: State Banquet
After An Shuangchi arranged all the things in the palace, he was a little looking forward to returning to the general's mansion soon.
The place used to be nothing more than a house for him, but now when he knew that there would be such a small person waiting for him to return, it made his heart feel very ironed.
When he arrived at the General's Mansion, An Shuangchi looked at the flickering lights inside, and suddenly felt that he also had a sense of relief.
Maybe sometimes it's so simple for himself, and he even thinks now that if he is just an ordinary person, it is actually a good thing.
"What are you doing standing outside?"
Mo Qingrou also looked at the man in front of him very suspiciously.
An Shuangchi was like a child who had done something bad and was caught, and instantly felt a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing, it's windy now, let's get inside."
"You came back so early today, have all the things in the palace been taken care of?"
Mo Qingrou also looked at An Shuangchi with some curiosity.
"All the matters related to the banquet in the palace have been arranged, and now we only need to wait for people from various countries to gather, and the excitement will begin."
Mo nodded softly, looking at his tired appearance, but he always felt that something unexpected would happen to him at this so-called state banquet.
Seeing An Shuangchi busy with this matter now, she didn't know how to speak now.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, I'm not used to this picture of writing my heart clearly on my face right now."
An Shuangchi also looked at Mo Qingrou with amusement.
"It's nothing, it's just that I always feel that something bad will happen at this banquet, so I'm always worried about ......"
"So, are you worried about me?"
An Shuangchi's focus seems to be different from Mo Qingrou.
Although Mo Qingrou was a little annoyed, she still didn't have a seizure.
"This is not the time to joke, you also know that you are now a thorn in the emperor's eye, if you don't know how to be careful, there will be no bones left that will be swallowed by him one day."
For her worries, An Shuangchi's heart naturally has points, but now there is no other way for herself, she can only go with the flow and spend the current banquet as a serious matter.
At least now that people from other countries are gathered here, even if the emperor sees how unhappy he is, there is nothing he can do, after all, in this country, it seems that the only one who can play a deterrent role on those people is An Shuangchi.
"I don't have to worry about anything else, I always sin and never die, if you can always be by my side, these nothingness things will be gone."
An Shuangchi's tone paused, and continued:
"Right now, I'm just worried about Concubine Li and the third prince, if there is any problem with their mother and son in the palace, what should I do."
Hearing An Shuangchi say this, Mo Qingrou's heart was not very comfortable, when she was still in the palace in the past, it was Concubine Li who took care of her, so Mo Qingrou's heart naturally didn't want her to encounter anything bad.
"Okay, you can relax, I'll think of a way these days, there must be a solution to the problem after all, the family is full of loyalty, and I believe that there is no endless way to the sky."
An Shuangchi didn't speak, just nodded, but she was thinking about how to minimize the loss of the An family, and how to make the person next to her stable, so that she didn't have to worry about herself and the An family.
"Well, let's not talk about these things, let me ask you, do you want to have a banquet with me?"
An Shuangchi said the important thing in his heart at this time.
Naturally, he was not interested in that kind of banquet, but if Mo Qingrou could be with him, then it would be a different matter.
But Mo Qingrou refused this matter without thinking about it.
"This can't be done, my appearance is known to many people, even if this is not a major matter, but if the emperor plays a role because of this matter in the future, what should I do?"
"Wouldn't it be better for you to disguise yourself as my girl and stay by my side? If you are left alone in the General's Mansion, then there will be a lot of fish and dragons in Beijing, if someone takes you to be my handle, what should I do? ”
Mo Qingrou was reluctant to agree, but An Shuangchi's words made her heart a little moved.
Somehow, the ghost sent a nod of his head.
"Well, since you have said so, if this girl does not go, won't it be too shameful to give you face? I promised you. ”
At this time, the faint moonlight cast on Mo Qing's face, which made An Shuangchi feel a quiet beauty.
It would be nice if time could stop now.
A few more days passed, and the so-called state banquet was about to start, and Mo Qingrou only felt a little nervous the night before, after all, he had never encountered such a thing in modern times.
She always wonders if she will make a fool of herself, so she will turn around.
The next morning, she was still lying in bed and was woken up from the bed by Xiaoyue and a few little maids.
"Girl, you have to hurry up, and the general will not wait for you to snooze carefully."
Hearing this, Mo Qingrou quickly got up from the bed.
She almost did as fast as she could, and she painted herself a pretty decent makeup.
Although she is wearing a maid's clothes and headdress at the moment, she is still a good-looking girl.
Looking at her own appearance in the mirror, she felt very satisfied.
In the end, Satsuki also put a thin veil around her face, and it was only at this time that it was done.
Mo Qingrou and An Shuangchi sat in the carriage, but they were very nervous.
It has been a long time since I left the palace, but I am very nervous about going back this time.
But as long as he thought that An Shuang would always be by his side, any bit of tension in his heart disappeared.
An Shuangchi just sat in the position that belonged to him without saying a word, which gave people a sense of majesty.
It was even a little more natural than the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.
Concubine Li was also sitting in the position that should have belonged to the queen at this time, and the smile on her face looked proud in the eyes of Bei Zhi.
At this point, who doesn't say that the An family is powerful and noble? But the bitterness in this must only be cleared in their own hearts.
"General, can you see Concubine Li sitting on the back seat, the emperor seems to be determined to pull us into the water."
Mo Qingrou looked at An Shuangchi with some worry.
An Shuangchi just nodded, but his heart was very uncomfortable, the emperor would be jealous of himself was something he expected, but his sister had been with him for many years, and with his children, but because he was also implicated.
He could almost think of the humiliation that Concubine Li might suffer afterwards.
"General, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely protect the safety of my mother."
Mo Qing's tone was very firm, and An Shuangchi looked at the little woman in front of him at this time, but he also had a different feeling.
It's as if there is a kind of power in that thin body that can protect the entire An family.
Subsequently, it was just some very boring singing and dancing performances, and Mo Qingrou was not interested at all.
It's just that there is no room for her to express her emotions here.
After that, the envoys of various countries began to offer the treasures of their country, which meant a sense of submission.
Mo Qingrou was even a little lucky that she was born in the new century and did not encounter the danger of these wars.
"Your Majesty King Wu, we are even more convinced that we have lost to you in this battle in this battle. This time, we also brought us back to Xinjiang's unique treasure - mermaid tears, hoping that the emperor of your country can accept it. ”
A man wearing Huijiang clothes, with a handsome face and a long figure, spoke at this time.
This man is noble and noble, and his eyes are like stars, but there is a dangerous glint in those eyes.
Mo Qingrou's first impression of this person was that he didn't like it very much.
Then, a woman stood up from behind, and she gave birth to a country and a city.
Mo Qingrou recognized at a glance that this was the woman he saw in the Nishang Pavilion that day, and at this time she was wearing a dazzling necklace around her neck, and the treasure inlaid on the necklace was the so-called "mermaid tears." ”
For such a marketing method, Mo Qingrou only felt that she was still very scornful of this, obviously she wanted to promote the princess of her country, but she wanted to use the name of mermaid tears.
But the princes and ministers here, including the emperor, still eat this very much, only An Shuangchi has been gloomy and silent from beginning to end.
It seems that I really don't like this kind of occasion.
"This is our eldest princess back to Xinjiang, Princess Xingchen. Xingchen, why don't you go to salute the emperor and all the adults? ”
The woman nodded, and stepped forward, with a charm in every step.
For some reason, Mo Qingrou had a very unhappy feeling, but he couldn't tell where this feeling came from.
At present, almost no one pays attention to the so-called treasures, and the souls of all men are almost taken away by this princess.
"Your Excellency the Emperor, this time we are back in Xinjiang and come here, there is one more thing I don't know if the emperor can agree?"
The emperor didn't want to scruple so much at this time.
"Straight to the point."
The prince smiled and spoke:
"We want to pick a wishful husband here for our princess."
