Zhou Hexi felt that her grandmother's reaction was too abnormal, Yi'an Houfu has never been uncommon, how could her old man lose his consciousness because of this little favor? In contrast, his father's suspicion and anxiety seemed much more reliable. She reacted the same as Zhou Xiao, suspicious and faintly uneasy at the same time.

No one will recognize other people for no reason, if you talk about intimacy, the idea of blood in her body is not worthy of a queen's care.

The holy decree has been issued, and it is still a double path, and the result naturally cannot be changed, but this does not prevent Zhou Hexi from being highly vigilant.

I squatted at home for a few days, and it was the day when the Xiliang envoys met with the court. According to the usual practice, the royal family will hold a state banquet this night. Last year...... In fact, just a few months ago, at the state banquet of the Great Zhou royal family, Zhou Hexi was called by the half-time, not only won the attention of the public, but also fell into the carriage after the end...... It can be described as "out of the limelight".

This time, naturally, she, the newly promoted Southern Saint County Lord, was indispensable.

Zhou Hexi, who had expected it, was not surprised when he received the dictation from Emperor Yongchang, the only surprise was that Zhou Xiao was also invited.

On the way, the father and daughter looked at each other several times, but they were silent all the way, until the carriage drove into the imperial city, Zhou Xiao patted his daughter's shoulder and said in a barely audible voice: "Be careful." ”

Zhou Hexi nodded obediently, and then helped his father get out of the car.

The state banquet is still held in the Lin Tak Hall as it was last year.

If you talk about changes, it is probably because the Great Zhou side is missing faces such as Queen Xiao, the crown prince, the king of Shou, and the queen mother. On the Xiliang side, Babuzan has gained a lot of weight, and Nansheng, who has been promoted from the county lord to the princess, is more palatial than a few months ago.

The Xiliang delegation specially brought a song and dance troupe for Emperor Yongchang, and when Zhou Xiao's father and daughter sat down, the exotic atmosphere in the hall was strong. The cheerful and lively Xiliang piano and drums are ringing, and in the center of the main hall, the unrestrained and gorgeous Xiliang dancers are performing the Xiliang "magic dance" hard. Zhou Hexi looked at it for a while, he couldn't understand the rules, and he really felt that "the demons were dancing wildly".

But this did not prevent the "appreciative" eyes of the nobles and ministers present, after all, in the eyes of these men, this group of dancing girls was too unrestrained.

After the song, Emperor Yongchang stepped on the entrance, and after the ceremony, everyone sat down in turn.

The Great Minister Babuzan and the Xiliang delegation first expressed their gratitude to Emperor Yongchang, and repeatedly expressed the admiration and respect of Queen Xiliang, which was much lower than when King Zuo Xian was in power. Emperor Yongchang's mood was undoubtedly like a flower, and the smile on his face did not disperse for a long time, and he invited Babuzan and others to sit at the table.

After that, the palace maids and waiters who had been prepared for a long time rushed in, and the delicacies were quickly placed on the table.

In Zhou Hexi's view, the attraction of the state banquet in the Lin De Hall is this food.

In the face of the delicacies carefully prepared by the royal family of the Great Zhou, Babuzan naturally raised his glass and praised and praised, and Emperor Yongchang was polite again, the atmosphere was thick, and he suddenly heard the waiters outside the palace shouting, "The eldest princess has arrived!" King Sheng has arrived! ”

After a while, everyone saw the pair of sisters and brothers coming together. The eldest princess was dressed up bright and moving, dressed up, luxurious, her hand fell slightly on the shoulder of King Sheng's wheelchair, stepping on the rhythm of the same tune as the wheelchair. King Sheng wore a purple and gold robe today, his face was like a crown of jade, his edge was convergent, he sat straight, his hands gently plucked the wheels, and together with the eldest sister, he slowly drove into the main hall.

As soon as the sister and brother appeared, the hall immediately increased a lot of brilliance, and the glamorous song and dance troupe instantly lost a lot of color, and Emperor Yongchang and others stood up to greet each other.

In terms of generation, one of the two is his eldest aunt and the other is his uncle, so they naturally have to be courteous. But more importantly, the status of the two in the royal family is very important. King Sheng didn't say it, whether it was the royal family or the subjects, they were all god-like existences, and the eldest princess was the first child of Emperor Taizong, and when she was born, the whole country celebrated. Over the years, she has been sick and has a bumpy fate, and as a nephew, Emperor Yongchang is also worried. I remember that the news of my aunt's recovery from a serious illness reached the inner palace, and he immediately went to visit.

When Jinghe's eldest princess's spring-like face was revealed, he was so shocked that he almost fell, and on the way back, he was amazed.

Immediately, an idea was born, in his lifetime, he would definitely take Fengshen Valley under his command, even if it didn't work, at least strengthen the connection. Coincidentally, at this state banquet, Doctor Yan also came, and when Emperor Yongchang saw Yan Ji with a childish face, he immediately thought about whether it was a good opportunity now......

The brilliance of the eldest princess and King Sheng's sister and brother was too dazzling, so that after a long time, everyone realized that Yan Ji was standing behind King Sheng.

The three of them came slowly, and Zhou Hexi's eyes were straight.

If you don't see each other for a day, see Xiao Yu again, she doesn't know how many autumns have passed. Last time in the imperial study, she saw it once, but at that time, she patronized His Majesty's various problems, and Xiao Yu kept sitting upright beside her, without saying a word, and she didn't have the opportunity and didn't dare to look at it.

This time is different, everyone stretches their necks to look at the three "beauties", if she lowers her head, it looks abnormal.

Xiao Yu lost weight, and Zhou Hexi was a little sad when he found this. At this moment, Xiao Yu, who had been looking forward at all, suddenly turned his head slightly, and happened to touch Zhou Hexi's clear, slightly moist eyes, and at that moment, Zhou Hexi only felt that the air around him was frozen.

The star-like eyes were originally gentle and calm, but the moment they touched the light of her eyes, they lit up by three points, and the waves were turbulent and swaying, mixed with surprise, excitement, and a hint of suppressed heat......

Zhou Hexi's panicked eyes lowered for a long time before she pressed down her heartbeat like a drum, and when she calmed down, Xiao Yu was already sitting diagonally opposite.

Originally, according to his identity, it was impossible for Zhou Hexi to be so close to Xiao Yu. Today, unlike in the past, the original Houmen girl has become the lord of the two counties, and the seat of the banquet is naturally much higher. In addition, the nobles of the harem were absent, Empress Xiao went to the cold palace, Empress Dowager Li returned to Wanshou Mountain, Concubine Chen fell out of favor, and now, only Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Li appeared.

Among the emperors, except for the third princess and the fourth princess, there is nothing else.

And Zhou Hexi is next to the four princesses.

On the other side, the leader is the eldest princess, followed by Princess Longyu, and then King Sheng. Yan Ji was placed under King Sheng, which shows the respect of the royal family. Further down, there were the main envoys of Xiliang headed by Babuzan.

Such as the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince and the ministers, are relatively backward. And a marquis like Zhou Xiao is even farther away.

"His Royal Highness King Sheng." Babuzan raised his glass with a smile, and walked up to Xiao Yu respectfully, "I respect you." ”

In this regard, no one was surprised, Xiliang respected Xiao Yu and had nothing to say, the reason was very simple, he was scared.
