"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose! The ministers bowed for a while, and Cao Ran noticed that the emperor and queen had entered the palace at some point.

In the palace, the emperor sits on the throne of Jinbao, wearing a crown and pearls, wearing a royal brocade dragon robe, the emperor has passed the year of the sixtieth year, a touch of white beard is still strong, the spirit is lofty, and the majesty is still there. The queen sits on the right side of the emperor, with a phoenix crown and a graceful face.

After bowing to the emperor and queen, the ministers sat down one after another.

King Yue and his five envoys stepped forward to bow solemnly, and said respectfully: "Zhu Xuan, the king of Yue of Daliang, brought a delegation to meet His Majesty, and I wish that my Daliang and your country will always be good for Qin and Jin." ”

"King Yue came to make peace in person from thousands of miles away, sincerity is valuable, Daliang and my Jin Kingdom are of one heart and one mind, I will not let Daliang down!"

The envoys sat down, and the emperor ordered the palace maids to pour a glass of wine for each table, first give a glass of wine, and turned to the Liang envoy and said: "King Yue came from afar, and in the future, he will form a country with Liang as a family, which is the blessing of the people of your two countries. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Xiao Wang will live up to Your Majesty's hospitality."

When King Qi heard that the emperor intended to reconcile the ninth princess with Da Liang, his eyebrows were slightly solemn and said: "Father, the ninth sister is ......."

The emperor nodded slightly, and said in a high tone: "There is another happy event today, the war with Tubo in the Western Regions came a month ago, and the red flag reported the victory, and the defeat of the vassal country was attributed to our vassal!" ”

The ministers were all surprised, King Qi got up and came to the front of the court, and bowed to the emperor and the ministers, "My dynasty has my father, the emperor and the emperor are in charge of the country, and the army is bound to be strong and the people are rich, and the neighbors are subordinate to our dynasty, congratulations to the father and the emperor on the vast territory!" ”

All the ministers followed King Qi to attend the bow and chanted in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor on the wealth of the country and the strength of the army, and the magnificent mountains and rivers!" ”

Seeing the arrogance on Emperor Jin's face, King Yue of Daliang was not happy to show his displeasure, so he leaned down on King Yue's side and whispered: "They are giving us a horse and telling us that the princess of Jin is not easy to marry." ”

King Yue held the wine bottle high with both hands, and said with a fake smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have the military strategy of King Xuan, and the iron cavalry is indeed worthy of its reputation." ”

Feng Dao got up, and said to King Yue with a proud face: "King Yue's words are like a leopard in a tube, my Jin Kingdom is full of brave and brave generals, and King Xuan is not the only one who has made repeated achievements in the border defense, and his father has also won the world with his bravery and good fighting, which is really a glimpse of King Yue." ”

King Yue drank the bottle of wine in his hand, and sneered softly: "It was this king's humble opinion, I only heard that the enemy army was terrified of the place where King Xuan of the Jin Kingdom went today, and I forgot that my father had also told this king about the courage of King Jin on the battlefield "back then". ”

Cao Ran stood in the corner and watched the battle of words without gunpowder in the hall, thinking that this King Yue was here to marry the princess or to instigate, and raised his eyes to look at King Yue, the two of them just met their eyes, and there was a trace of floating on their faces. Isn't this King Yue the same gentleman he met in the temple?

Emperor Jin was sitting precariously, smiling but still not losing his imperial demeanor, and said: "I and King Yue are like each other at first sight, and I would like to form a state of etiquette with your country, where is it not peaceful in this world." Emperor Jin motioned for everyone to sit down.

"This pot of Chinese wine is my country's special brew Yueniang Immortal, King Yue can stay and taste it slowly." Emperor Jin gave the close eunuch a look, and there was a row of palace maids holding jade beads and emerald pots pouring wine on each table.

The queen had a pleasant face and said: "This wine is the fruit wine of the Western Regions obtained from the capture of Tubo in the Western Regions a month ago, and this wine should be drunk with ice cubes to be more delicious and refreshing." "The ladies added an inch square of ice to each wine bottle.

The emperor looked at the queen with warm love in his eyes, and said: "The queen is still thoughtful, I give this fruit wine to all Aiqing today to celebrate, and also invite King Yue to taste and share." ”

The queen motioned for the music and dance skills to dance, and the banquet officially began.

The Jin Kingdom is happy and good at dancing, all of them have outstanding dancing skills, beautiful silk and bamboo, graceful dancing, everyone, including the envoys, are immersed in singing, dancing and wine, only Cao Ran's eyes often fall on King Qi.

After the wine and meat singing and dancing, the civil and military officials and the peace envoys fought a battle of words and tongues on the respective skills of the two countries, and the ladies went to Changchun Garden with the queen to enjoy the flowers and tea.

The palace maid in the garden has already prepared the refreshments, and the queen is in charge of the golden treasure, and said with a noble and gentle smile: "Today is a rare opportunity to get together with all the ladies, the palace has specially prepared refreshments, you don't have to be restrained, although you can talk about the past." ”

After seeing the salute and thanks, all the ladies sat down one after another, and Sun Wanrong sat under Mrs. Feng according to her position, with a displeased face. Get up and kneel down to the queen's seat and say: "Concubine Sun Wanrong to the queen mother to say goodbye, the concubine body specially presented a hand-made balm, this balm added to the child to go out to bring back the Taihang flower, it is said that this Taihang flower has the effect of making people look evergreen, and the queen's face will always be pampered." ”

Cao Ran couldn't help but admire Sun Wanrong in her heart, and in just a few words, she not only used her son to elevate her position, but also paved the way for her son's future, and suppressed Mrs. Feng's existence with full marks.

The queen stroked her hand and took the balm handed by the female official, opened the treasure cover of the jewelry brocade, sniffed lightly with a jade nose, and said with a smile: "This Taihang flower grows on the cliff of Wanzhang, it is really rare and precious, you have a heart, General Ping did not forget to step on this thing for the palace for the country, and it is rare for Yu Nu to order the reward." ”

The female official who called Yu Nu hurriedly whispered to the palace maid beside her.

After the ladies greeted her, the queen turned to look at Mrs. Feng, and said with a little surprise in her eyes: "I haven't seen Mrs. Feng for a long time, and I stayed here today to catch up with the palace." ”

After Mrs. Feng greeted the salute steadily, she replied: "Thank you Niangniang for thinking about the concubine, the concubine has no rare objects to offer, only the memories of childhood can be used to talk with the concubine." ”

After that, the queen instructed everyone to go to the garden to watch at will, and got up to go to another pavilion with Madame Feng to catch up on the old days. Mrs. Feng also instructed Cao Ran to go to the courtyard and walk around at will, without having to follow.

Cao Ran was pondering how the queen was so different from Mrs. Feng, and when she looked up, everyone had already gone to enjoy the garden in pairs.

Cao Ran was not interested in the beautiful flowers of this Changchun Garden, and slowly thought along the corridor, how to find a way to see King Qi alone, he must have traveled to this world like himself, and he didn't know about her existence. After some thought, Cao Ran decided to sneak over to find an opportunity first, no matter how much, and now she can't care about his betrayal, so she can only talk to him first about countermeasures to return to the 21st century.

After making a decision, he said that he would go, and turned sharply, but before he could raise his head, he bumped into the arm that suddenly came.

Cao Ran's soft and aching forehead felt like hitting a pillar, and she was dizzy. Painfully looked up at the man in front of her, dressed in a dark robe, dazzling black eyes like cold stars, and the perfect edges and corners of his facial features made people not want to look away.

Cao Ran was stunned for a moment, and forgot to salute.

Suddenly, a shrill reprimand sounded: "Which slave who is not long-eyed dares to collide with King Xuan, and he doesn't want to live!" Don't kneel yet. It was the eunuch who led the way.

Cao Ran retracted his gaze, realized his gaffe and hurriedly knelt down to the side of the road, "The slave didn't mean to bump into His Highness, please atone for your sins." ”

Yu Wenhua glanced down at Cao Ran, and no one noticed that the corners of his mouth crossed an arc.
