Chapter Ninety-One: Sabre Rattling
Ruthlessly, thin lips tightened, and black clouds shrouded him.
Mu Bingyue's expression on the high platform was even colder, and the dancers beside her all looked at her in shock.
In the past, after the dancing girl took over, it became like a big country and a thousand-year-old hegemony, and it was completely destroyed. She would never allow that to happen.
The Empress Dowager's expression was still the same, but murderous intent appeared in her heart.
Xuanyuan Yi and Nangong Chen looked at each other coldly. The handsome face like a crown of jade thunders and lightning, and the arrogant domineering storm devours the sun.
For a while, the tension was sharp, and the big war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
The ministers were shocked, as if they were watching the end explode before their eyes.
At this critical moment, the sound of an ice fountain was abruptly inserted, and the enemy cloud that was already on the string was steadily suppressed, "Literature and Art Workshop congratulates the Empress Dowager on the blessing of the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan." ”
The crowd looked at it in disbelief, Cheng Ying waved his hand, the red silk rolled over, and a piece of the gauze curtain of the gilded pillar in front of the stage fell down.
A yellow smoke quietly dispersed in the air, and everyone's attention was absorbed by the embroidered brocade on the high platform and did not see it, Mu Bingyue looked at it and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Hanging on the gilt pillar is the double-sided embroidery that Mu Bingyue gave to the divorced daughter.
And the first to see is a hundred birds towards the phoenix, the whole embroidery color is bright, Ruiyi auspicious, the color of the phoenix is interspersed with a number of noble and small peonies, the processing of peony color, noble and elegant, that is, it appears solemn and noble, but not noisy, on the contrary, the phoenix is focused on coloring, the color is dazzling, fully embodies the noble and inviolable majesty of the mother of a country.
The Empress Dowager was the first to come back to her senses, and when she looked back at Nangong Chen and Xuanyuan Yi, who were still looking at Mu Bingyue, the murderous intent in her eyes skimmed. Covet the phoenix position! Bite off more than one can chew.
Although the ministers were also full of admiration after seeing it, they also wondered about Mu Bingyue's motives.
Ouyang Yi smiled with a trace of contempt on her lips, her ambition is not small, but she is afraid that her life is thinner than paper!
For a while, there was a lot of discussion on the high platform.
Mu Bingyue was not in a hurry, her jade arms were lightly relaxed, the red silk was crossed, and the embroidered brocade turned.
This time, the stage was so quiet that it could be heard that the needle was falling.
But I saw that the one-meter-sized brocade was embroidered with mountains and rivers, the undulating mountains, and the vast blue lake, dotted with green willows and red flowers, and the blue waves were poured into thousands of blue waves, stretching the mountains, so beautiful, so expressive.
What's more expressive is that you can see the brocade fish under the blue lake, swimming leisurely in the water, and even the waves stirred up when swinging the tail are clearly visible, which can be called the finishing touch of this embroidery.
The whole picture is majestic and magnificent, and the image is as if you are immersed in the scene, as if you can hear the sound of cicadas, birds, and the sound of the wind blowing across the lake and the waves hitting the shore.
Some people can't help but look at the envoy who has repeatedly spouted wild words, but they see that the messenger keeps whispering, 'Strange people, really strange people'......'.
It seems that this Heiyi envoy who came from afar is still a little self-aware, not arrogant, and can be regarded as a character.
After savoring it, everyone looked back at the stage in puzzlement, but in the next second, their eyes widened in shock, and they shouted and pointed to the sky, "What is that?" ”
I saw a round thing the size of a house floating in the cloudless clear sky.
The crowd was shocked and looked horrified.
Seeing the black round object floating towards the stage, the three of them jumped off the high platform one after another in panic and flew towards the stage.
Mu Bingyue swept coldly, the red silk rolled up the moon satin on the ground and threw it at the black balloon, and when the three of them arrived, they had already floated off the ground with the moon satin, seeing that the three of them rushed to pull the moon satin, Mu Bingyue turned several times in the air, and the moon satin covered her waist, instantly narrowing the distance between her and the balloon.
Mu Bingyue saw that Xuanyuan Yi did not give up and chased after Nangong Chen with the red silk knotted he left, and shouted in the air: "The Empress Dowager is blessed in the world, and she blesses all the people." ”
The crowd recovered from the shock, knelt down one after another, and shouted in their mouths, "The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, long live my emperor." ”
The thousand people also knelt on the ground and cheered, Xuanyuan Yi and Nangong Chen were blocked by these thousand people, and watched Mu Bingyue drift away.
"Miss, take my hand."
Mu Bingyue raised her head strongly, used her last strength, and grabbed Shen Xue's hand, Ah Da Ah San also hurriedly pulled it, and several people worked together to pull her up.
Seeing that Mu Bingyue's body kept shivering, Shen Xue was shocked and panicked, found the medicine bottle on Mu Bingyue's body, and hurriedly buttoned it, it was indeed empty, Shen Xue was shocked and anxious, "Miss, why is it gone, it's impossible, I'm just ......" When he said this, his voice suddenly stopped.
He said with a Qi Yin: "Miss, tell me, have you used all ......?"
Mu Bingyue smiled reluctantly, but blood kept spilling out of her mouth, Shen Xue still didn't understand, and cried: "Miss, don't you even want your life for that divorced girl?" If you eat this whole bottle, what if your meridians burst? You ......"
"Okay, I won't see her again. cough cough...... "Mu Bingyue comforted Shen Xue, who looked angry, besides, they would never see each other again in the future, and now she only had one thing in mind, "Everything has been arranged?"
"The lord and the lady have been sent on the ship, and they will wait for us to meet us at the hometown."
Mu Bingyue put her mind at ease, closed her eyes and leaned against the wall of the basket, since she knew that Xuanyuan Yi was also looking for her everywhere, she was uneasy, she didn't expect to really use it.
"This balloon is too ostentatious, Ah Da hasn't learned to control it yet, wait for the next stop, let's turn to the waterway."
Shen Xue nodded hurriedly, seeing that Mu Bingyue was out of spirit, she hurriedly leaned her against her, "Miss, you can sleep at ease, we will be able to see the old lady in a few days." ”
Mu Bingyue endured the pain from the hundreds of bones in her limbs, and nodded, as long as she still wanted this life, God would not want to take it.
The dispute between the two countries did not subside with Mu Bingyue's disappearance, but intensified, and Nangong Chen's aggressiveness towards Xuanyuan Yi fell uncharacteristically silent.
In order to alleviate the tension between the two countries, the Empress Dowager held the annual camellia party of Chiyan in advance, and specially invited envoys from the three countries to go.
The most high-profile camellia party of the year was overshadowed this time after the Qianqiu banquet, and everyone talked about the dancing girl who flew away after the dinner.
On the surface, the camellia party is the contact between the princes and nobles from all over the world, but every time the camellia party ends, there will be marriages between the royal family and nobles.
The Empress Dowager set this year's camellia party in Qingyi Garden, which is another royal courtyard in addition to the imperial palace, and the royal nobles go to live for a month or two in the middle of summer every year. Don't look at it is called Qingyi Garden, but it covers an area of thousands of tilts, and the decoration is solemn and luxurious.
Qingyi Garden is planted with all kinds of flowers, not to mention, the garden is still a green lake, and Qingyi Garden is also located on the lake, just like an oasis in the desert, a bright moon in the night sky, occupies the geographical advantage, is an excellent place to escape the heat in midsummer.
This time, the Empress Dowager only allowed officials above the third grade to bring their families, and the intention can be seen. Therefore, the invited officials and wives all showed off their daughters in a fancy way, and just wanted to show their faces in front of the prince.
Situ Qing was also pulled up and dressed up early in the morning, and after cleaning up, he didn't go with General Situ, but with Xia Lanxin.
It is said that things gather people in groups, they each admire Mu Bingyue, and because Mu Bingyue gets to know each other, although they have not been able to invite Mu Bingyue, they have also become closer, and now they are friends in the boudoir, and they are intimate.
On this morning, the weather was sunny and beautiful, there was no heat and dryness in the past, and the officials and nobles above the third grade brought their own daughters, and of course, the princes from all over the world who came to celebrate the queen's birthday came to envoys, and a group of people rushed to Qingyi Garden.
And the Empress Dowager, as the host, has already been waiting in the garden, first the envoys from various countries came to greet the Empress Dowager, and then the princes, nobles and officials of Chiyan, because there were so many people that they did not salute one by one according to their ranks, they all went to Qi Hou and saluted one by one.
The small garden full of flowers was full of more than a dozen tables, Nangong Chen and the men were sitting in the east row of seats, and the empress dowager and all the ladies and daughters were sitting in the west row of seats.
The Empress Dowager was talking and laughing with the ladies of all families, while looking at the official ladies beside Mrs. Haoming, and as soon as she slipped down to really a few of them, she secretly kept her mind, and now that the waves are not calm, she still needs to make plans early.
The Empress Dowager felt that the time was almost up, and said with a hearty smile: "Bohai has paid tribute to a few strange trees, and the ladies of each family will accompany the mourning family to go there to have a look." ”
The officials and wives who are not the best of the best, listened to the sound and left with her, leaving only their daughters to let them stay to enjoy the flowers. And the old ministers over there also left some juniors to go fishing by the lake, but the envoys from Xuanyuan, Heiyi, and the sky stayed, and the empress dowager was afraid that these people would not be able to make trouble at the banquet, so she would take advantage of the fact that she and the old ministers were not making trouble, and she had already ordered someone to leave the Taifu behind.
Taifu accompanied the envoys from various countries to drink wine, and when he saw that the scene was a little quiet, he raised his glass and stood up, first gave a salute to Nangong Chen, and then arched his hand to the men's table and said: "Inherit the joy of the Empress Dowager, let everyone gather here, such a beautiful day, and there is good wine and food, no poems and songs are not a fly in the ointment, the old minister is not as good as the countries to envoy, the young ladies are all poems and music to help the fun, I don't know what you think?" ”
As soon as the envoys of various countries heard that they were going to recite poems, they all secretly made their own little calculations.
Everyone echoed Taifu's proposal with their own thoughts, but no one took the lead in composing poems first, Taifu looked at Nangong Chen first, but Nangong Chen pretended not to see and continued to taste his fragrant tea, Long Yufeng saw Nangong Chen ignoring Taifu's eyes on the side, so he had to stand up and propose, "It's too monotonous to only chant poems, if you set up a color head, we beat the drum and pass the flowers, and whoever falls will be the last person who won the lottery to make a question, if the winner is satisfied with everyone's answer, then he will take the prize and continue to spread the flowers, If everyone is not satisfied with the answer, then let the person who won the lottery put out a show, I don't know what you think? ”
