Chapter 67: The Banquet Begins

"Miss, slow down." At that moment, a voice interrupted the discussion.

Following the prestige, I saw that the woman was slightly powdered, half of her black hair hung down to her slender waist, half of her hair was chic and her flying cloud bun was inserted, and the light and slow cloud temples were inserted with Dongling jade silk hairpins and gold balls, and there were exquisite and transparent strings hanging on her neck, and a silver vermilion fine cloud brocade and wide silk acacia skirt lined her slender figure like a touch of crimson clouds, shining brightly and beautifully. A pair of eyebrows and eyes, all delicate, extremely moving. Slender Jade stepped down from the carriage with her arm on her hand. Everyone present was distracted.

I don't know who suddenly shouted, "Isn't that Taifu Qianjin Jiang Xinlan", and everyone was stunned when this remark came out.

Three years ago, Jiang Xinlan became famous for a moon shadow dance in the world, and then Mrs. Taifu moved to Jiangnan to recuperate because of her weak health, and Jiang Xinlan went south together to take care of her sick mother. At that time, Jiang Xinlan, a talented woman and a filial daughter, once became the object of talk in the capital. It's just that Jiang Xinlan was gradually forgotten as time went by, and no one thought that she would participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet again three years later.

Most of the daughters present at this moment have participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet three years ago, and they still remember the Moon Shadow Neon Dress Dance that Jiang Xinlan danced vividly.

For a while, all the daughters were like a big enemy, but then they thought that their dancing skills were really beyond their reach compared to Jiang Xinlan, so they were a little relieved. Since he can't come out on top today, then today's performance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet can be second only to Jiang Xinlan, which is definitely a shameful thing. At the moment, he was eager to try the talent show at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and looked forward to it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old slave is Mama Rong next to the queen's mother, and she came to lead the way on the order of the queen's mother, please come with the old slave."

Just when all the daughters were thinking about it, a grandmother with slightly gray hair came over, bowed slightly, and then said with a slightly upturned face and a little arrogant.

As soon as she worked hard, she immediately became docile and reasonable, "There is room for Mama Lao." ”

At that moment, all the daughters lined up in a mighty line and rushed to the venue behind Mama Gui. The Hundred Flowers Feast is held every year in the beautiful Imperial Garden, and this year is no exception. About two teas to the Imperial Garden, the whole Imperial Garden is full of flowers, the aroma is striking, and today the feast is imminent, for a time the Imperial Garden is more magnificently arranged than before.

The emperor and queen sit on the upper seat, and the lower part is divided into two columns, and on the left is Dongfang Lie, the king of Nanyue, and Situ Shaogong, the prince of the Undermoon Kingdom, sitting on the golden chair at the bottom, in order to highlight the noble status of the two. Next is Huangfu Yuyu and Huangfuchen, followed by other princes, princes and some young talents. The column on the right is the favored concubines led by Concubine Li, and the next is the daughter of the official family who was invited to participate.

All the daughters moved slightly, their eyebrows lowered and walked to their respective seats. Everyone's seats are arranged according to the size of their own official ladders, and Shui Ningyan's father and mother are all famous generals in Dongli Kingdom, so Shui Ningyan deserves to sit behind the seat second only to the harem concubines.

Shui Ningyan sat down in her seat, and suddenly realized that several eyes were firmly locked on her. She frowned unhappily, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the gazes staring at her were from Huang Fuchen, Huang Fuyu, Situ Shaogong, and the king of Nanyue, whom she had never met.

Huang Fuchen and Huang Fu Yu are as good as the jade trees in the past, and the instruments are Xuanang. Situ Shaogong was dressed in a black gold brocade robe, his face was still covered by a terrifying ghost mask, and his whole body revealed a mysterious and noble atmosphere. Although Situ Shaogong has always been notorious, and it is rumored that he is extremely ugly, I have to say that he seems to have a charming charm, which attracts many daughters to steal frequently.

Next to the Nanyue King Dongfang Lie, a pair of charming purple eyes bloom like crystal, like a waterfall of three thousand green silk only with a purple and gold crown high, thin lips under the high nose bridge tightly pursed, smooth and delicate white porcelain-like skin makes people jealous, a dark brocade dress, the neckline and sleeves are depicted with delicate patterns, with a faint golden glow, revealing a cool and unruly atmosphere. It also obsesses many daughters.

Those eagle-like eyes brought Shui Ningyan a sense of oppression, and Shui Ningyan frowned slightly, not liking this feeling at the moment. She turned away from Dongfang Lie's gaze without a trace, but she pondered for a while in her heart.

Dongfang Lie's gaze staring at her just now contained too many emotions, but it was obviously the first time she had seen Dongfang Lie. If Dongfang Lie only made Dongfang Lie hate her because his mother defeated South Vietnam at the beginning, Shui Ningyan felt a little far-fetched. Because she didn't see the slightest resentment in Dongfang Lie's eyes, but playful, inquisitive, and curious......

couldn't guess the reason, Shui Ningyan didn't bother to think about it, and lowered his eyes slightly at the moment with a calm face. Today's Hundred Flowers Banquet was presided over by Queen Yun Zixiao, at the beginning of the banquet Yun Zixiao said a few words, and finally the emperor Fu Hao said a few words, and then announced the official start of the banquet.

Then it's time to enjoy your food and enjoy your talents. The talent show still adopts the system of self-recommendation. As soon as they heard that they could start a talent show, many young ladies immediately jumped to try it. The ladies in the audience all stared wide-eyed and craned their necks to watch the scenes or wonderful talent shows in the field, and Shui Ningyan drank alone like an outsider.

"Girl, don't be greedy."

Just as he was drinking, he suddenly heard Situ Shaogong's mellow voice, and the hand holding the wine cup paused slightly, and then raised his eyes and looked at Huang Fuchen with some surprise.

The cool thin lips under the mask were only lightly pursed, but Shui Ningyan still heard Situ Shaogong's voice, "Girl, this kind of wine called Pear Blossom White, although it is sweet, it has a lot of stamina, be careful and get drunk later." ”

Shui Ningyan suddenly realized that Situ Shaogong used the technique of sound transmission to talk to her. At that moment, she squeezed her eyes at Situ Shaogong, saying that she didn't care. Although she didn't look appreciative on the surface, she was actually a little moved by Situ Shaogong's words in her heart.

In modern times, her wine is very bright, and this pear blossom white is specially used to entertain women at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so the wine is not very strong. She felt that the wine tasted sweet and sweet, and she couldn't help but drink a few more glasses for a while.

But what she wanted to say was that it was inconvenient to drink while wearing a veil! Moreover, and in modern times, she drinks in large gulps, and now she has to pay attention to everyone's beautiful behavior when drinking on this occasion, which is really not enjoyable enough. However, when the Hundred Flowers Banquet is over, she can consider getting a few jars of this pear blossom white from the palace, or finding a recipe for brewing.

Shui Ningyan secretly made a small calculation, but she didn't know that there were already two men over there who were jealous of her.

Situ Shaogong's gaze at Shui Ningyan inadvertently revealed a gentle and doting look, and at this time, a slightly hoarse but sexy voice came from his ears, "This king really didn't expect that Prince Situ, who has always been known for his brutality, would be so gentle with Shui Ningyan, it's really incredible!" ”

Situ Shaogong turned his face, and the ink eyes under the mask stared at Dongfang Lie next to him, shooting out a cold light like an icy cold glow, still using the technique of transmitting sound into the secret.

"I don't have to worry about this King Nanyue. However, the prince had to remind the king of Nanyue that Shui Ningyan was the prince's person, and if the king of Nanyue wanted to make any idea, he should first ask the prince if he agreed. The cold words revealed indescribable domineering and majesty.

Situ Shaogong's fists tightened for a moment, and then slowly relaxed. Last time, his father sent someone to Dongli to hunt down Shui Ningyan, and at that time he sent someone to investigate and learned that his father learned from the king of Nanyue that Shui Ningyan had a dragon birthmark on his body. Coupled with the fact that he noticed Dongfang Lie's eyes when he stared at the water condensation smoke just now, he knew that Dongfang Lie had no intention of dying.

"Oh, this king has always respected the real strong man the most. The world thinks that Prince Situ is rude and inactive, but this king knows that Prince Situ is just a hidden edge. If there is a chance, this king really wants to compete with Prince Situ. ”

Although Dongfang Lie's voice was light and waveless, without many ups and downs, his tone was extraordinarily confident. For a while, Situ Shaogong's eyes accumulated a storm, and his anger was soaring.

The country of Nanyue is just a small country, but under the rule of Dongfang Lie, the people live and work in peace and contentment, live a rich life, and have strong soldiers, and its strength should not be underestimated. From this, I have to say that Dongfang Lie is indeed a rare hero.

Although Situ Shaogong was angry at this moment, he would never be angry regardless of the occasion. Although Dongfang Lie is not easy to deal with, how can he Situ Shaogong be a good person?

The eyes under the mask narrowed slightly, as if they were immersed in ice water, and they were in the slightest cold air, bringing people an endless sense of oppression. The thin lips outline a cruel and charming arc. Very good, Dongfang Lie, a guy who doesn't have long eyes, provoked him, and he will definitely make this man remorseful.

For a while, the eyes of the two exchanged countless times, until they were interrupted by the voice of Empress Yun Zixiao. Yun Zixiao on the phoenix chair was wearing a scarlet thin shirt, and two beautiful peonies were sewn on her chest, and spring was looming. The lower body is wearing a long red dress, and the golden lotus is tattooed on the skirt, showing grace and luxury. Covered with purple light yarn and embroidered with peonies, it is really eye-catching.

"Hey, this palace saw that the water condensation smoke of the general's mansion has also arrived this time, not long ago, this palace and the emperor and Concubine Li's sister have seen the water condensation smoke, and I only feel that she has indeed been reborn as rumored by the outside world. Today's participation in the Hundred Flowers Banquet must also be with talent. I'm sure you'd like to see it too. Yun Zixiao's red lips were raised lightly at the moment, and she smiled like a spring breeze, but there was a touch of ruthlessness in her eyes.
