Zhang Jirin glanced at Liu Meiniang with a dark face, and didn't seem to buy it at all. Liu Meiniang's hand scratched Zhang Jilin's palm again, and Zhang Jilin still had no expression on his face.

In the end, Liu Meiniang looked around, saw that everyone was busy talking, gritted her teeth, and went directly to the corner of Zhang Jirin's mouth and gently dropped a kiss like a dragonfly.

Zhang Jirin was stunned and turned his head to look at Liu Meiniang. The face turned from sunny to cloudy.

The envoy of Xiling is headed by a man in purple, with a mediocre appearance, but the bearing of his body makes people feel very comfortable, and people can't help but want to get close. He crawled on the table and ate the fruit.

"The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived."

As soon as the envoys from various countries sat down, Emperor Changping came in with the queen and the concubines of the harem.

Emperor Changping is still wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Emperor Changping, who is already in his forties, does not look very old, and his spirit is radiant, Emperor Changping sat down and looked around, and soon his eyes fell on Liu Meiniang, and then moved away.

"The Dragon King's banquet is imminent, the envoys of various countries have been in the dust all the way, I have a special banquet, I hope you can enjoy it, I salute you with a cup."

Emperor Changping was obviously not an emperor who talked a lot of nonsense, and he went straight to the point.

The courtiers also raised their glasses one after another, pushing the cups for a while, and staggering.

After three rounds of drinking, the nobles began to perform, playing the piano, singing and chanting poems, Liu Meiniang also had to admit that the ancient boudoir women also worked hard, the brush and calligraphy in one hand, the Chinese painting in the other, and the guzheng Go, all of them are very proficient, better than the level of some modern masters.

Even the third princess, Xiao Yuyan, also painted a landscape painting and wished the Dragon King Banquet a success.

However, what impressed Liu Meiniang more was Xiao Ru, the county lord of Shaoyang.

Xiao Ru is the daughter of Xiao Yunnan, a king with a different surname, Xiao Yunnan was originally not surnamed Xiao, and the surname was given by Emperor Changping. Xiao Yunnan has been following Emperor Changping, from the time when Emperor Changping was still a prince, and later Emperor Changping went to the army to temper, Xiao Yunnan followed Emperor Changping to be born and died, and made a lot of contributions, and finally was hacked to death on the battlefield in order to protect Emperor Changping.

Emperor Changping named Xiao Yunnan as the king with a different surname, nicknamed the righteous king, and gave the surname Xiao when he was buried.

When Xiao Yunnan died, Princess Yi was just pregnant with Xiao Ru, and when Xiao Ru was born, Emperor Changping was named the county lord, especially Princess Yi died depressed in the end, Emperor Changping simply took Xiao Ru directly into the palace and put it next to the queen mother to raise. Xiao Ru is already twenty years old, and he still hasn't found the person he wants, and Emperor Changping is helpless to do anything in a hurry.

Because Xiao Ru's personality is too much like a man, not only can he do martial arts, but also have a lot of vision and strategy, even Taishi Li once said that if Xiao Ru is a man, he will definitely be able to make contributions to Daqi.

Liu Meiniang has not seen Xiao Ru when she came to the capital, because Xiao Ru followed the Queen Mother to Mount Emei to pray for blessings some time ago, and only came back the day before yesterday.

Although Xiao Ru is not as beautiful as Xiao Yuyan, the heroism between her eyebrows cannot be ignored, in the eyes of Liu Meiniang, a modern person, the offensive spirit on her body is slightly heavier.

And when Xue Wuyi evaluated Liu Meiniang in Qingshi County, he thought that only the lord of Shaoyang in the palace could compete with Liu Meiniang.

The two of them are two different types, Shaoyang County Lord Wen Taowu is not bad, but Liu Meiniang is also brave and strategic, and her knowledge is not low, which is also a point that Xue Wuyi is very puzzled about, why is a woman who grew up in a mountain village so good.

Even if she came to the capital, Xue Wuyi still didn't see any discomfort from Liu Meiniang, as if Liu Meiniang had grown up in the capital since she was a child, and she was not worse than the princesses in the palace.

The style of work, the bearing of the whole body is natural.

Xiao Ru wrote a pair of words: Xuantu Baoli is peaceful and quiet, and Yan Vulgar and Chunfeng Le Taiping made Emperor Changping laugh.

Xiao Ru actually noticed Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jilin is such an upstart in the court, he is a dazzling existence wherever he goes, and many people are ready to watch Zhang Jilin unlucky, after all, what does a mountain village man know, killing King Chun is just a mistake, and when he came to the capital as the general director, many people are not optimistic, but he didn't expect Zhang Jilin to be in the company for a few months, and he did not see any deviation in his actions, and he also put forward several better opinions, which won the respect of Emperor Changping. This made people who were going to watch a good show before start to liven their minds, thinking about how to have a good relationship with Zhang Jirin.

And Zhang Jilin refused to marry for his wife, Xiao Ru also knew that when Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jilin came in and sat down together, many eyes were projected on Liu Meiniang, and naturally there was Xiao Ru.

Xiao Ru was more curious about Liu Meiniang, and when she saw Liu Meiniang's appearance, Xiao Ru, who had always been calm, also gasped.

Xiao Ru accidentally saw the portrait of the concubine, and seeing Liu Meiniang seemed to awaken Xiao Ru's memory.

Xiao Ru was even more curious about Liu Meiniang.

Xiao Ru returned to her seat after finishing her words, and Yu Mingyue, who had not spoken, stood up.

"Your Majesty, Yu Mingyue, the saint of southern Xinjiang, is willing to dance a song for Your Majesty and wish the prosperity of the Great Qi country."

Yu Mingyue suddenly stood up, and Emperor Changping glanced at His Royal Highness Yu Mingyue, and his heart jumped.

"What's your name?" Emperor Changping asked.

"Yu Mingyue." Yu Mingyue raised her head and smiled, many people in the hall were stunned.

Yu Mingyue was born beautiful, and this smile was like spring breeze and rain. Warm into the hearts of the people, with three points of holiness, three points of charm.

Emperor Changping was silent, and Yu Mingyue knelt on the hall for a long time before she heard Emperor Changping say: Yes.

"Your Majesty, Mingyue is going to change her clothes, and she will come right away."

Yu Mingyue put her right hand on her chest, performed a southern Xinjiang etiquette, and walked briskly.

"What is this Jade Mingyue?" Liu Meiniang naturally saw the clues.

"The daughter of Yu Linlang's sister, the cousin of the second prince."

Zhang Jilin said in a deep voice, when he met Yu Mingyue on the street, he went back and asked Tianshu to check her identity, Zhang Jilin also had a rough estimate in his heart, and when Tianshu later told him, Zhang Jilin also confirmed it.

Yu Mingyue is the saintess of Southern Xinjiang.

There can only be one generation of saints in southern Xinjiang, and they are all from the royal princesses, and the biggest role of the saints is to contain the royal power.

At that time, Yu Linglong was the last saint of southern Xinjiang, but unfortunately the king of southern Xinjiang for his own rights, southern Xinjiang was also small and weak at that time, and directly let Yu Linglong go to seduce Emperor Changping, and followed Emperor Changping back to Daqi, the king of southern Xinjiang announced that the saint died of illness, and Yu Linlang was originally going to be elected as the next saintess, who knew that she was sent to the palace of Daqi by the king of southern Xinjiang as a relative object.

And this time, what is the purpose of Yu Mingyue coming as the saint of southern Xinjiang?

After Yu Mingyue came back, she put on a bright red light veil, if Yu Mingyue, who was dressed in white before, was a holy white lotus, then Yu Mingyue, who is now wearing red, is a poppy, beautiful and enchanting. The thin waist is exposed, white and flawless, few women in Daqi are dressed like this, and Yu Mingyue looks straight into the eyes of many men present.

The wind music sounded, Yu Mingyue danced with the sound of the piano, kicking her legs, raising her hands, all elegant, you don't have to think about it to know that Yu Mingyue's dance must have put a lot of effort into it.

Liu Meiniang has no likes or dislikes for Yu Mingyue, but Yu Mingyue's dancing is really good, and there is a tendency to dance in the city, Liu Meiniang watched it with relish, and clapped her hands together.

Zhang Jilin didn't seem interested.

"This Jade Mingyue danced really well." Nie Changfeng picked a grape and threw it into his mouth and said sincerely, but Xue Wuyi on the side did not say anything, but glanced at Liu Meiniang not far away.

Liu Meiniang held her chin, the small expression on her face looked very excited, Xue Wuyi glanced at it and withdrew her gaze, and when she looked at Yu Mingyue again, she actually saw Yu Mingyue as Liu Meiniang.

In a trance, it seemed that Liu Meiniang was dancing in a red dress.

The sound of the piano stopped, Xue Wuyi returned to his senses, and a sound of admiration sounded in the hall.

"The saint is really versatile."

"Who says it's not, you forgot the ...... who came to Daqi in the first place"

"Be quiet, don't let me hear you."

"Not to mention, this Jade Mingyue really looks a little similar to that one."

"That's it, but have you seen Mr. Zhang's wife? Well, just sitting over there, that looks like that one, and when I came in and saw it, I even thought it was ......."

"If you don't say it, I didn't pay attention, this ...... If it weren't for the wrong age, I would have thought it was a ......."

"It's incredible," there was a discussion in the hall, and everyone whispered, but Zhang Jirin took all the conversations of these people into his ears, especially when he heard them say that Liu Meiniang and Concubine Tanrong were exactly the same, Zhang Jirin's eyes darkened a little.

"Very good." After Emperor Changping watched Yu Mingyue dance, he said two words lightly.

Yu Mingyue, who was kneeling under the main hall, raised her head suspiciously, and glanced at Emperor Changping, who still had no look on his face.

In fact, at the age of Emperor Changping, in addition to the nostalgia for Yu Linglong, if he is asked to take Yu Mingyue into the harem now, Emperor Changping is unwilling, besides, there has been a Liu Meiniang who looks more like Yu Linglong before, and now looking at Yu Mingyue, Emperor Changping naturally will not feel so amazing.

"The saint of southern Xinjiang has worked hard, and someone has come to give wine."

After Emperor Changping finished speaking, Gonggong Li walked to Yu Mingyue with a glass of fruit wine, and it was a supreme honor for the emperor to give wine.

"Mingyue thanked Your Majesty." Yu Mingyue finished drinking, but did not return to her seat.

"But is there anything else?" Emperor Changping frowned suspiciously and asked Yu Mingyue.

"Your Majesty, Yu Mingyue has a reluctant request, and I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it." Yu Mingyue said loudly.

"Oh? What's up? Emperor Changping asked.

"Mingyue heard that the women of Daqi are versatile, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but just now Mingyue saw that in addition to the Shaoyang County Lord, I see the talents of other noble girls, so Mingyue wants to ask Your Majesty to let the best woman in Daqi come and compete with me, after all, Mingyue has heard that Daqi is outstanding since she was a child, and Mingyue also wants to see it!"

As soon as Yu Mingyue's words came out, the faces of the people in the main hall changed one after another, isn't this a naked provocation and contempt? What is a noble girl in Daqi, who looks mediocre. Yes, the small countries in southern Xinjiang can't compare with Daqi in terms of national strength, and they always have to find a place elsewhere.

And none of them can deny that Yu Mingyue's dance, Daqi may really not be comparable to a woman.

As for the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Yu Mingyue dared to say such a thing, presumably her qinqi, calligraphy and painting would not be worse than those noble girls just now.

The envoys who came were talking to each other, looking like they were watching a good show.

"The saint is a little serious, this king views the noble women of Daqi, and all of them are top-notch, but what the saint said is also reasonable, the country of Daqi is rich and the people are strong, and the women are definitely not bad, and this king also wants to see the best women in Daqi."

The man in purple clothes in Xiling suddenly spoke, and suddenly heard that he was looking for the bottom of the stairs for Daqi, but in fact, he secretly added fuel to the fire, and now Emperor Changping can only find a woman to compete, otherwise this matter will not be over.
