Sitting on the guest of honor at the night banquet of the Qiuzi Royal Court, Li Yuanqi turned the luminous cup in his hand, looked at the princes and nobles, civil and military ministers at the banquet, and recalled everything that happened during the day, which was incredibly smooth.

Although there was the foreshadowing of last night's secret meeting, Li Yuanqi did not expect that in the court today, King Qiuzi did not pretend to be embarrassed at all, and he accepted the invitation of his relatives without blinking an eye. Immediately issued an edict, the princess was named Princess Yunshang and pro-Central Plains, and half a month later, she went to Tiandu with the Central Plains envoys. He also ordered a state banquet to be set up tonight to congratulate the friendship of the alliance between the two countries.

What is even more surprising is that none of the princes and ministers stood up against it, as if this and the relatives were long-awaited by Qiuzi. It seems that as Pei Feng said, Qiuzi is only missing an opportunity to break with the Turks. Now that King Qiuzi has won the promise of the Central Plains alliance to help each other, it is naturally an instant hit, and there is no need to say more.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanqi's heart was relieved, he raised the luminous cup in his hand, got up and toasted to King Qiuzi and Princess Fang, and saluted to the princes. It's just that when he swept over the face of the British Duke Bai Lian, the cousin of King Qiuzi, he was shocked by the light in his eyes, but when he looked at it again, he saw that his face was ordinary, and the glance seemed to be wrong.

At the moment, I was puzzled, only to hear the chief eunuch high-five, and the music was everywhere, and a group of dancers in colorful costumes rushed in, and suddenly the whole audience was full of skirts. The small silver bells on the dancer's skirt kept ringing with the dance, far and near, like spring rain.

Since the introduction of the Guizi music and dance into the Central Plains in the previous dynasty, it has been greatly sought after, only because of its melodious and tactful voice, and the charm of the Western Regions, it smells like seeing the lonely smoke of the desert, the sunset of the long river, and it is like tasting grapes and wine, and the Tianshan Qionglu, which is unique. Therefore, the princes and nobles of the Central Plains raised more Qiuzi musicians at home, and ordinary people often took entering the Qiuzi Song and Dance Workshop as a fashionable pastime.

I especially remember that when the Pei family was in the middle of the day, the second uncle brought back several musicians who had served in the Qiuzi royal court from the west and presented them to his father, who was quite happy and set up a family banquet in the palace, saying that he would catch the wind and wash the dust for his uncle.

He was still young, he only cared about eating and playing, eating and drinking and sleeping beside his mother in a daze, but suddenly there was a burst of music from nowhere, and he dreamed of it, and suddenly he really thought that he had reached too illusory realm. After listening to it for a long time in a daze, he suddenly woke him up with a few palms, only to hear his father praise him: "The fairy music of Qiuzi is really extraordinary, and the general who protects the country has a meritorious contribution to the treasure, and the bounty is 1,000 ......."

At that time, such a similar, the same turtle fairy music, the same staggered, the same smile Yan Yan, but the people have passed away, even if there is a beautiful day, who will enjoy it? Thinking of this, I didn't feel melancholy for a while, drank two cups, and swallowed my worries.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a message: "Princess Yunshang has arrived." Le Wu retreated, and all the guests leaned out and looked forward to it.

I saw a team of hairpins and jade belts floating in the distance, more than a dozen official women, a one-color water blue beard skirt, white soft leather small pointed boots, carrying a glass palace lamp, hugging a slender woman in the middle, thinking that it was Princess Guiziyan. This group of more than ten people, step by step, came over with Nana, and watched from a distance in the night like a goddess descending to earth, which was quite spectacular.

It's just that the sky is too dark, and Li Yuanqi can't see the princess's face clearly, but he feels that this woman's demeanor is a little familiar, and he was surprised until he gradually got closer: it was her!

Why her? Li Yuanqi had a trace of unknown emotion in his heart, and he didn't know what to do at the moment, this princess Gui Ziyan was actually a red shadow that had been around his dream for many days. Although he has been busy with his relatives in the past few days, he still has a few illusions, maybe he will enter Qiuzi City for the second time, and he will meet him somewhere, but he will not think about it, but he is on the state banquet in the inner courtyard of this royal court.

Ever since they met, he had wondered who she really was, and now that Heaven had solved the mystery for him, he couldn't rejoice. With this identity, she is the person he wants to personally send into the East Palace and to the prince's bed. In this way, he and her are destined to have no part. Thinking of this, Li Yuanqi became more and more aware that the lovely person who was slowly approaching was dazzlingly white, but he couldn't bear to look away, he could only look at her walking towards him step by step.

The guard of honor stopped outside the feast and retreated to the sides, and the princess stood in the middle of it and walked straight to the throne. Only then did everyone see her dress and appearance. Wearing a coat with a shawl lapel, it is used as a soft smoke from the Central Plains, and a white clotted fat looms on the shoulders. Under a cloud brocade skirt, from the waist down, embroidered hundreds of red discs, fluttering on the skirt, large and small, different postures, quite lively and vivid. The skirt floated in the breeze as the princess moved, and a hundred butterflies seemed to come to life, fluttering to and fro at the princess's side.

Look at the princess's face again, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she is full of flowers, and her face is like a hibiscus. The not very slender eyebrows flew obliquely into the temples, a pair of apricot eyes were like autumn water, and the cherry lips seemed to be smiling but not smiling, slightly revealing a line of white jade teeth. Li Yuanqi looked at it carefully, and felt that it was a little more beautiful than what he saw in the sandbar, and he thought that he had carefully dressed up for this state banquet.

Everyone stared at her intently, but they didn't see her cramped, her eyes were not half scattered, and she looked straight at the king on the seat, quite down-and-out and generous, without losing the royal demeanor. Seeing that she walked a foot away in front of the throne, she stopped, made a big salute, and said, "I have seen my father and Wen Yi Niangniang." ”

I don't know why, the ceremony has been done for a long time, but there has been no response on the seat, or the side concubine saw this, and gently pushed the person next to her, and the king of Qiuzi came back to his senses, but his mouth was quite cold: "Get up." The concubine hurriedly got out of the bed and helped her up.

"Princess Yunshang, I came to see the King of Ruijun in the Central Plains, and after half a month, you will go to the Central Plains with him." After saying this, King Qiuzi turned his head to look at Li Yuanqi.

Li Yuanqi was still surprised by her identity and the fact that she was neither deaf nor dumb at this time, so she wanted to meet again in such a situation, I don't know what she would think when she saw him, but she was afraid that she would hesitate for a long time to arouse suspicion, so he got up and left the table, and walked to the person who fell into his dream that night.

"I've seen Princess Yunshang, and under Li Yuanqi is the king of Ruijun in the Central Plains. This trip is specially ordered by the imperial order to discuss the plan of peace and affection. So saying, he saluted the princess and looked up at her. When Li Yuanqi saw her looking at him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered his expression, and replied thoughtfully: "I have seen King Ruijun." When he stood up again, there was no wind or waves on the jade face, and he was quiet.
