The night banquet was set up in the Taiye Pool in the Imperial Palace, and the halls by the pool were hung with big red palace lights. On the corner of the hall, the mocking wind stood tall and watched over the guests from all directions. The music sounded, and the people who drank and feasted on His Highness sat down one after another.

Looking at it, the treasure rubs all kinds of flavors, brocade clothes, and crowns are gathered, which is a good image of a brilliant and prosperous world.

On the left hand side of the emperor's throne are the seats of the missions of various countries, and on the right hand side are the nobles of the Dahua Emperor and the courtiers above the fourth rank. The women's seat was located to the southwest of the emperor. After the emperor raised his glass and lifted the wine, everyone shouted long live. Immediately afterwards, the court musicians, maiko, and the juggling troupe invited from outside took turns to perform on stage. The banquet is staggered and hearty drinking.

Guests from all over the world, honorable courtiers raised their glasses one after another, the emperor was in a good mood, and he did not refuse, and the atmosphere in the field was fierce for a while.

After three rounds of wine, the music resumed, Chapter 188 in the Taiye Pool Compare who caused a sensation on the lotus-shaped round platform, the palace lights around the lotus platform were lit up, and the women on the stage danced when they heard the moon, the water sleeves were elegant, graceful and graceful. Looking at it from afar, it is like a fairy in the moon at night, ethereal and dusty, making people forget the vulgar.

After the dance, the audience applauded, and then I heard a beautiful female voice from the stage, "The concubine wishes the emperor a long life, and the great country is prosperous and eternal!" Far away, and the night was dim, the emperor couldn't see who the woman in the pool was, and asked sideways, "Who is on the stage?" ”

The chief waiter was hesitating, and a little palace maid came up next to him and whispered to him: "The one on the table is the Jade Concubine Niang" The chief steward glanced at it and found that this palace maid was from the Jade Concubine Palace, and he turned his head and bowed to the emperor and said: "Long live the return, the slave looks at the Jade Concubine Niangniang." ”

At the embassy seat, I don't know who praised loudly in the non-standard Dahua official dialect: "This dance should only be in the sky." Someone whispered in front of him.

As soon as the emperor was happy, he looked at Qin Zi who knelt on the ground in Taichung to congratulate, and laughed loudly: "Concubine Ai let me feast my eyes today, come and see it!" ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Qin Zi's voice came from across the water, and compared to the light just now, there seemed to be a little more soft and glutinous coquettishness in it, which caused a burst of sneering and unwilling voices from the concubine's side Chapter 188 Compare who is a sensation.

Qing Dai and Tingjia did it backwards, and they happened to be next to the concubine's seat, listening to the concubines next to them who didn't know which palace and which courtyard they were talking about.

"I'm addicted to pretending to be a fairy." "People have the ability to pretend to be fairies, you listen to the cheers, the emperor is rewarded."

"Concubine Yu invited her to entertain at the emperor's birthday banquet, but I am afraid that she did not pass through the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. It is indecent for a dignified concubine to perform in front of the public, comparing herself to a musician.

"Yes, yes, you didn't see that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother didn't look good just now."

“……………”

"These people, they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour." Tingjia shook his head, "I didn't see it before, Qin Zi is such a lady, she likes singing and dancing, and she dances so well." Although there is a reason for the queen, Tingjia still affirmed Qin Zi's dance.

"If you have the heart to be a concubine, it is normal to learn one or two skills in order to fight." The voice of jealousy buzzed in her ears, and Qing Dai was still the same, quietly watching the next performance on stage.

"However, her move is suspected of inviting pets, and I am afraid that the Queen Mother will be unhappy."

"Out of the limelight, grabbed the eyeballs, and let the emperor write it down. The Jade Concubine succeeded. Qing Dai smiled lightly and glanced at Qin Zi, who had already returned to the seat, "Qin Shu is the princess of Beihu, which is equivalent to the queen of Beihu." The emperor attaches great importance to Beihu and will not be angry with Concubine Yu for this matter. Besides, the emperor rewarded him heavily, and the queen mother and queen will not punish him, overturning the preface of the emperor's reward. ”

Tingjia suddenly nodded and agreed: "You are right. Qing Dai looked at the scene of Qin Zi taking the imperial wine and looking at the emperor ambiguously, and couldn't help but pout, "Figuring out a man's mind seems to be the strength of the Qin sisters." ”

When Tingjia heard this, he followed Qing Dai's gaze and looked over, and also saw this scene, and subconsciously went to look at the queen, seeing that the queen was expressionless, and seemed to be used to such a scene, and when he looked at Qin Zi again, there was a little more disgust in his eyes, and he sighed and said: "The newcomers will come in the palace in a few years, and the eldest sister is beautiful on the surface, but she doesn't know how bitter she is in her heart?" ”

"After hard work, you get used to it. Since you have entered the palace, there is no way to choose, you don't have to worry about your eldest sister, Qin Zi will not threaten her, "The queen has an eldest son, Qin Zi is just young and beautiful, and she knows how to use caution to envelop men, but she is afraid that it will be difficult if she wants to go further." The emperor has never played power and balancing, Li Mian is not stupid, the Qin family has a Qin Shu, who has a high status in Beihu and is deeply loved by Zong Yi, then he will have some concerns, and he will not let the Qin family sit big, and he will not let the Wang family go.

Qin Zi was in the limelight, some people were happy and some were worried. Perhaps, we may be able to make a splash in the house later! ”

Qing Dai suddenly noticed that Hua Shaoyan who was standing in the corner was talking to Hua Shaoqi, and the four of them were carrying a long scroll, wanting to come to present the "Nine Weeks of the Universe Map", but they didn't expect Hua Shaoyan to follow this time.

Tingjia saw Hua Shaoqi, "It's Wenxuan and Uncle." "Qingdai Chong Tingjia winked" in the end, maybe who is more in the limelight? ”

When Hua Shaoyan, Hua Shaoqi and Hua Shaozhong led the four guards to the main seat where the emperor was sitting, the somewhat noisy Taiye Pool fell silent for a moment.

Hua Shaoyan opened the hem of his clothes, knelt down, and kowtowed: "The emperor rules over all the people, rich all over the world, and now on the occasion of longevity, the three brothers and other ministers specially present a picture of the universe of Kyushu, which is a collection of hundreds of embroiderers from the 36 counties of the ten prefectures of Dahua, and all the territories of Dahua under your rule are collected in this map. The emperor was overjoyed, and said calmly: "Aiqing has a heart, present it!" As soon as the map unfolded on the carpet, there was nothing around it.

Everyone was attracted by the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains on the map. The Kyushu universe map includes 180 counties in 36 counties of the 10 prefectures of Dahua and the subject states of Dahua, as well as neighboring countries such as Beihu. A line in the picture outlines all the mountains, rivers and rivers from the East China Sea to the West, from the northern region to the southern Xinjiang, whether it is the vast sea, the lush grassland, or the shallows next door, the rivers and lakes are all in full view.

In the face of this picture, in the face of the great rivers and mountains of Dahua, every Dahua person here is excited and proud.

People have long forgotten the light singing and dancing, the beautiful sound, and only the "splendid rivers and mountains" in front of them in their eyes.

The emperor, who had just pretended to be calm, also stood up from his seat, walked down from the throne and looked down at the map, and couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart, this is my country!

The kind of magnificent passion that looks up to the world and looks at the world burst out in my heart in an instant.

"Good, good, good!" The emperor said three good words in a row, and his eyes still lingered on the Kyushu Huanyu map on the ground for a long time.

During the banquet, the envoys from all over the world, or awe or envy or emotion or admiration, all emotions were silently written on their faces, and even the king of Beihu, Zongyi, was shocked the moment he saw the picture of the universe, and the pupils of Bi Sè were like the deep sea, and what was hidden in the depths was a touch of almost imperceptible eagerness.

"Brother Huang can't just applaud, but also play a heavy reward!" Li Yu's words recalled the emperor's thoughts.

"Yes, I want a big reward!" The emperor patted Hua Shaoyan on the shoulder, "Your brother has a heart, this is the best congratulatory gift I have received for Wanshou this year!" "Thank you for the emperor's reward." The three brothers said in unison.

After receiving the reward, he retired, and the night banquet continued, but people didn't seem to have come out of the shock of the universe map, and most of the topics of discussion began from this. Marquis Zhongyi, who was sitting in the men's seat, and Princess Duanyang, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, suddenly became the focus of everyone, and even Tingjia and Qingdai became the objects of those ladies competing for relationships.

Qing Dai had a big head and pulled Tingjia's sleeve, "I have a headache, let's go out for a walk." Tingjia willed, and immediately resigned from the surrounding ladies nǎinǎi, pulled up Qingdai and left the table, letting Xiao

The palace maid took the search for the east place, and both urinated freely.

The two of them came out of the east corner and walked slowly back around the other end of the pool.

Halfway through, a palace maid ran from the other end of the Taiye Pool, saw Tingjia, and blessed her body, "Mrs. Shizi, the queen mother just ate two more glasses of wine and rested in the side hall, please ask Mrs. Shizi to go over and ask a few words." ”

From entering the palace to the banquet, Tingjia has not spoken to the queen alone. The one who came to look for Tingjia was indeed the palace maid in the queen's palace, and now Rì Tingjia and Qingdai have seen her by the queen's side.

The palace maid explained her intentions, and Tingjia was a little worried about Qingdai, and glanced back at her.

Qing Dai smiled and said, "Don't let the queen wait for a long time!" It's not far from the feast, it's a few steps away, so you can go and don't worry about me. ”

Tingjia looked at the Taiye Pool banquet, it was indeed not far, nodded immediately, and then left with the palace maid. Qing Dai followed the little palace maid who had led the way just now in the direction of the banquet.

"Madame is entering the palace for the first time?" As soon as Tingjia left, Qing Dai was silent, and the little palace maid picked a conversation with Qing Dai.

"It's the third time. How many years have you been in the palace? Qing Dai asked casually.

"The slave maid entered the palace at the age of ten, and this year is the fourth year."

"You're fourteen?"

Because she didn't want to deal with the gang of Mrs. nǎinǎi, and ran into a little palace maid who was as big as herself, Qing Dai chatted with her without a match, and the pace of the two gradually slowed down.

Seeing that it was not far from her seat, Qing Dai caught a glimpse of Hua Shaoyan's figure next to the huā garden, who was talking to an attendant. Thinking of the goodbye in the palace that he said when he left, Qing Dai wanted to walk over to say hello, but as soon as he shouted the word "Hua", Hua Shaoyan suddenly turned around and walked to the other end of the huā garden, away from the direction of the Taiye Pool. And the chamberlain, who had spoken to him, returned to the feast after he had turned away.

Qingdai thought that Hua Shaoyan might have something, so she didn't catch up and went straight back to her seat. As soon as she sat down, Qing Dai inadvertently saw the chamberlain who had just spoken to Hua Shaoyan appear next to the embassy seat opposite, holding a wine jug while pouring wine, and looking around in the air, as if looking for someone.

Qing Dai was a little surprised, her eyes swept over there, but she found that Qin Shu was not at the table.

Qing Dai couldn't help frowning, and looked around on her side again, Qin Zi was still there.

For some reason, Qing Dai felt a little uneasy in her heart, and after thinking about it, she got up and left the table, called the little palace maid who had led the way just now, and looked for the direction Hua Shaoyan left!!
