Most of the banquet passed, and at the end, the monarchs and ministers were talking happily, and they were harmonious.

I was choked by the wine before, and there was a lot of movement, Li Xuan ordered the palace maid to replace me with a cup of tea, originally thinking that I could taste the imperial wine when I entered the palace for a banquet, and there was a little bit of good intentions left in my heart.

I lifted the lid of the tea in frustration and glanced at it, only to see that the tea buds were standing upright, the soup was clear, and the fragrance lingered between the wings of my nose, which was refreshing. I immediately lit up, this is the best Longjing in Hangzhou Shanggong, I heard that this year's tea plantations in the south of the Yangtze River have suffered from insect plagues, tea production has been reduced, and the number of tribute courts is not much.

I smiled, swept away the unhappiness just now, I couldn't drink the palace wine, it was not bad to have this West Lake Longjing, and I earned it.

I took a small sip from the teacup, and sure enough, the tea was fresh and tasted excellent.

was secretly proud, only to hear a person in the banquet suddenly say loudly: "Your Majesty, the song and dance arranged by Concubine Li's mother is wonderful, and the ministers are intoxicated by it, and they have also become a vassal and elegant person." Wechen heard that the second prince of the southern kingdom is very good at music, can you ask the second prince to give Wechen a thin noodle and play a song? ”

The one who spoke was Yuan Jing, a young general with outstanding military achievements in the DPRK and China. This person looks masculine and heroic, and his eyes are flying with confidence, but it's a pity that he is too confident and doesn't know how to hide his anger. Suddenly I lost my liking for him.

I heard Xiao Ye talk about him, he was domineering, brave and unscrupulous, and brave as a man, but it was because of his grandfather's father's prestige in the army, coupled with the support of King Xuan behind him, that he was lucky to win a few victories.

In the final analysis, Yuan Jing relied on Emperor Qi's ambition to reuse military generals to expand the territory. The first emperor was elegant, good poetry and elegant things, and I heard that his favorite concubine was not only beautiful and captivating, but also talented, dancing smartly, and the piano sound was pleasant. The two of them played the piano and mingled, and it was rumored to be a good story.

It's a pity that this woman died in her twenties, and her soul passed away.

And today's emperor, not only the military generals, but also the appointment of their talents, the military generals were originally pressed down by the ministers, and now they finally have the day to come out, and they are naturally arrogant and indispensable.

The banquet fell silent in an instant, and I followed the inquiring eyes of everyone to see that at the end of the seat on the right side of Emperor Qi sat a delicate and gentle man, with dark hair and a crown of jade, graceful demeanor, and a demeanor full of royal elegance. Is such a man who comes out of the dust a proton of the southern kingdom?

Three years ago, the south took the initiative to provoke a war to the Qi country, and after the defeat of the army, five cities were cut to the Qi country, and the vitality was greatly injured, and the two emperors were sent to the two princes of the Southern Emperor to come to the Qi country as a proton, and then the two countries were at peace, but the Southern Emperor never mentioned the second prince who loved him.

I couldn't help but feel gloomy, thinking that there was another unaccompanied person in Daqi.

Except for Li Xuan, several other courtiers were embarrassed and extremely embarrassed. There were also people who stared at the second prince of the southern kingdom with a good look, and some people looked at Yuan Jing with a look of disdain.

Although the second prince of the southern kingdom is the proton sent to the Great Qi by the emperor of the southern kingdom, his identity symbolizes the envoy of a country, and Yuan Jing's words undoubtedly humiliated the second prince, and he did not take the other neighboring royal families present in his eyes, which was really hasty. When it is spread out, people all over the world still think that I am lazy and insulting the envoys of neighboring countries, and then use this as an excuse to provoke war, who can bear it?

Only Li Xuan drank a glass of wine with elegant movements, as if what was happening now had nothing to do with him, his eyes were gloomy, I couldn't see what he was thinking, I just felt that he looked indifferent.

Without saying a word, there was Emperor Qi who was sitting in a high position, Yuan Jing's words clearly gave him a problem, but he did not have a trace of annoyance. I secretly gave birth to Emperor Qi with some praise, if Long Xiao was a person who put joy and anger on his face, he would not sit on the throne, it is because of his deep mind and skillfully balancing the power of the ministers in the court that Daqi will flourish and become the head of all countries, looking down on the world as a strong man.

The last peacock solo dance during the banquet had long since ended, and Emperor Qi had to make a trade-off between Yuan Jing and the second prince of the southern kingdom.

Somehow, I had a little inexplicable nervousness in my heart, and there was a voice shouting in my chest, I didn't want Emperor Qi to let the second prince of the south play in public, and the situation of the second prince of the south made me think of my own solitary figure in Daqi, and my palms hidden in the wide sleeves were sweaty, and a heart was raised to the throat, and it was about to come out.

Li Xuan on the left seemed to notice my abnormality, and when he looked at me, I felt a huge pressure pouring over me, and my nails were embedded in my palms, trying to make myself look calmer.

"Are you uncomfortable? Don't bear it if you don't feel well, this king can take you to leave first. ”

Li Xuan's gentle voice had a hint of nervousness, which flattered me, how could he have cared about me so good-natured, I looked at his clear and bright black eyes and shook my head, how can the palace banquet be the same as child's play, Emperor Qi values Li Xuan again, Li Xuan is still a courtier, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is clearly placed there, and it cannot be surpassed.

Emperor Qi said: "The southern music rhythm is soft and soft, I appreciate it very much, come and take the Jiaowei qin from my collection to the second prince for audition." ”

Legend has it that the Jiaowei Qin is made of a section of unburned sycamore wood rescued by Cai Yong in the fire, and the piano has seven strings, with extraordinary timbre and extremely precious. This qin has been missing for a long time, and I didn't expect it to be hidden in the imperial palace of Daqi.

Emperor Qi's words were sincere, not to mention that Jiao Weiqin was even more precious in the world, so the second prince of the southern kingdom naturally had no reason to refuse. He is really clever, he did not suppress Yuan Jing, but also gave the second prince enough face, and moved out this precious guqin, and both sides were not offended. No wonder Li Xuan praised him as a great master of the world, and was willing to bow down to him.

I saw that the gentle man with black hair and jade crown at the end of the banquet got up, walked to the center of the hall with a clear gait, and his words were not displeased: "Chu Hong is ugly." ”

His voice was like a breeze, with a faint smile on his face, my whole heart sank quickly, he was the second prince of the southern kingdom, and he obviously had the most noble identity, why was he so involuntarily?

His situation is undoubtedly more desolate than mine, I still have Li Xuan's protection, no one dares to do anything to me; He was cumin alone, and none of the people present, whether they were ministers of the court or the royal families of neighboring countries, were willing to say a word for him, and he endured this humiliation alone, but he still had to pretend that nothing happened.

After such a distance, I clearly saw a touch of sadness and sadness in Chu Hong's eyes, and the sadness in my heart became a little more.
