"The main event, we also have it, how many as you want!" The old bustard's eyes were round in a hurry, and he had already used his strength to eat milk and dragged it into his own green building.

However, the uncle had more strength than her, and after a while, he broke free and went to the inn.

The old bustard stamped his feet angrily.

The guests on the opposite side are like flowing water, two small two, one wave is in a hurry to serve the food, one wave is busy cleaning up the table, the servants on the stage are babbling and singing, Li Qingqing is smiling again and again, and the Gongsun Fu abacus in front of the cabinet is like a chaotic bead.

At the same time, a small state banquet has been set up in the palace.

In the main hall, the song and dance music has sounded, and the banquet has been spread.

The prince of Beixing and the four princes of the Great Qi Kingdom chatted happily, and from time to time they had to toast each other.

"Brother Dongping, I toast you."

Prince Dongping raised his glass and returned a salute, "Brother Changming, I also respect you." ”

The empress looked down and saw the two princes toasting each other, calling each other brothers, and it was only half a day's work to be so lively, it seems that men really know men better.

After reading them, the empress moved her gaze to the front again, and walked around.

Today is a small state banquet, to put it bluntly, it is for the prince of Beixing, Nangong Changming, to pick up the wind and wash the dust, so the people who come are all the royal family of the Great Qi Kingdom and the important ministers of the court, because there are not many people, who does not come can see it at a glance.

But the empress didn't speak, nor did she have any expression, she only withdrew her gaze and raised her glass to take a sip.

However, the important ministers of the Empress Dowager's Party couldn't sit still, and after raising their glasses and drinking to observe the scene, they suddenly glanced at the palace maid who was serving wine behind them.

The palace maid who served the wine waited for the opportunity, and when the palace maid came up, she suddenly threw a small pebble over, and the maid didn't notice it, she tripped her foot, and the dish spilled out, and part of it splashed on the empty table diagonally opposite, which attracted everyone's attention.

The palace maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to spare her life.

At this time, the other envoys of Beixingguo, who were drinking and dancing, realized that opposite, the table placed under the empress was empty, and there were a few empty wine bottles and empty plates on the table.

Several envoys of the Beixing Kingdom deliberately asked Empress Fenghe, "Your Majesty, who is this table for?" ”

The empress coughed dryly a few times, and replied lightly, "It's just a spare table, which is used to store empty wine bottles." ”

Li Qingqing didn't come to this matter, although the empress was angry, she couldn't say it, otherwise she wouldn't give face to Beixingguo and destroy the alliance between the two countries.

But the Beixing mission obviously didn't mean this, and seeing that the empress was perfunctory, he deliberately singled it out, "No, this table is also equipped with chairs, obviously specially reserved for someone." Who is this person, but the most important person of His Majesty? ”

The Empress couldn't answer.

Another envoy from Beixing noted, "It is rumored that Your Majesty has five children, except for the second prince who is married to the Kite Kingdom, the other four are by Your Majesty's side."

But why do we only see the eldest princess and the fourth prince, but not the third princess and the fifth princess? ”

The Empress continued not to answer.

Several messengers began to speculate.

The female minister Liu Qingfang considered in her heart how to answer.

Is it to tell the truth, the three princesses were punished and thought about it and said that it was good for the five princesses to accompany the three princesses to face the wall together, or did they deliberately explain cleverly, saying that the three princesses and the five princesses were not qualified to be present?

According to the former, then Beixingguo will definitely ask the three princesses what they have done, which is equivalent to giving them the opportunity to question the scandal of the Great Qi Kingdom.

According to the latter, there must always be a reasonable reason, why can the crown princess be present, but the third and fifth princesses cannot? If the two princesses can't, then why can't the four princes, and what is the reason?

Liu Qingfang couldn't think about it for a while.

The Beixingguo delegation kept asking, and the more they saw the empress and the female prime minister of the Great Qi Kingdom keeping silent, the more they had to ask to understand.

Liu Qingfang's eyes suddenly lit up, by the way, Huang Zhengjun didn't come either, not to mention the three princesses and the five princesses who didn't show up today, since so many people didn't show up, it's much easier to find a reason not to be there.

Liu Qing looked solemn, got up and replied, "Today is a small state banquet set up by our Majesty for Prince Changming. Only important ministers and the royal family were invited to accompany him. The three princesses, the five princesses, the emperor Zhengjun, the side monarch, and the civil and military officials will all be present tomorrow. ”

As soon as this explanation came out, several ministers of the Great Qi Kingdom who were present also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, this explanation is good.

The empress's originally tense face also relaxed a lot, raised her mouth and smiled, and took a sip of her wine glass.

This is really the case, small state banquets have always selected important people to come, just because the five princesses were among the state banquets, coupled with the aggressiveness of Beixingguo, the empress didn't expect that at once, and now the female minister Liu Qingfang has thought about it for her.

The empress was even more satisfied with this henchman.

After drinking, the empress put down her wine glass, since Beixingguo deliberately wanted to embarrass the Great Qi Kingdom, she naturally would not let them have a good time, and she had to fight back.

"This was originally the practice of our Great Qi Kingdom, but I didn't expect Beixingguo to be so interested, and there was even the meaning of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

It's fortunate that it's nothing, if there is anything, you still have to be aggressive, wouldn't it damage the meaning of coming to Qi this time? ”

When the envoys of the Beixing Kingdom heard this, their faces were all tense and they bowed their heads and were silent.

It turned out that they were abrupt, but now they are being pinched by the empress and accused in turn, they are really hard to say.

Nangong Changming had no choice, so he picked up his wine glass and compensated the empress.

"It's all because of my poor discipline, and I'm embarrassed and thrown to the Great Qi Kingdom. On behalf of Beixingguo, I will compensate Her Majesty the Empress of the Great Qi Kingdom! ”

The empress did not raise a glass.

The prince of Dongping quickly raised his wine glass and touched the glass with Nangong Changming, and this little turmoil was over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief again, and this time even the envoys of Beixing breathed a sigh of relief.

The banquet continued, and the singing and dancing danced more cheerfully, as if there was a desire to cover up the turmoil just now with a compact dance and beautiful singing.

However, at this time, the little soldier guarding at the gate of the palace came up to report, "Your Majesty, Your Highness said that in order to welcome the envoy from Beixing, a surprise was specially prepared. I also hope that Your Majesty will allow them to move to the Ashes Eating Inn outside the palace! ”

Hearing this, the ministers discussed, "Let the prince of Beixingguo go to the inn, this, this is too low-grade, right?" ”

"That's it! What kind of medicine are these five princesses selling in the gourd? Nor is it afraid to undermine the alliance between the two countries. ”

"Not really!"

The minister of the Empress Dowager Party couldn't help it, stood up and bowed his hand, "Your Majesty, the five emperor women are perverse and act in a disorderly manner. Today is the reception banquet of the prince of Beixingguo, for the sake of peace between the two countries, it is better not to go! ”

The minister of the Three Princesses Party came out in favor, "Weichen thought that this surprise would ask the Five Princesses to get the kilometer in person." It's a surprise and a safe way to get the best of both worlds. ”

Other ministers agreed.

The Empress decided to just give the order.

But just as she was about to speak, the little soldier spoke again, "Your Majesty, Your Highness said that this surprise needs to be matched with the right time and place, the time is the moonlight tonight, and the ground is the unique inn in Chang'an." It needs to be in her inn to be able to surprise the effect. ”
