Chapter 120: The Palace Banquet
The conversation broke up unhappily.
It was night, and the moon was as cool as water.
The palace city was full of light and bustle, and began to put on a feast to warmly entertain the people from the two countries who sent tribute.
Although it is a cold winter, the royal garden is as enthusiastic as fire, not only because of the prosperity of the country, the heating facilities are very thoughtful, the flowers are still in full bloom, which makes people feel warm like spring, but also because there are beautiful singers and dancers on the gorgeous stage who stir their hearts all the time.
Although Zhao and Jin both have palaces, they can't compare with Songguo's white stone steps, red walls, red doors, red pillars and red windows and the extravagant and rich palace city with yellow and green glass on the roof;
As for the beauties, what man in the world would think that the beauties have seen too much, not to mention that the women of the Song Kingdom are not only stunning but also have a kind of charm and elegance, and the charming eyes float over everywhere, which has made people flutter like a fairyland illusion.
Therefore, not to mention the cold winter of Songguo, it is not a bitter thing for those who have adapted to the harsh climate, even if they freeze to death at this moment, I am afraid that they will have no regrets!
And the person who was most fascinated by the beauty of all and lost his temper in front of everyone was undoubtedly the man who sat first on the lower left side of the throne.
He was about twenty years old, and although he was dressed in fine clothes, he looked sickly weak and pale, very thin, and had the appearance of a very suitable son of a gentleman, because at this moment, his eyes were shining and he was almost drooling, which was really flattering.
"That's Zhao Zhen, the brother of Zhao Guojun, I heard that he is very lustful and has a ridiculous character, when I see him today, it is really better to meet than to be famous," Song Kai looked at Zhao Zhen's appearance, and almost laughed out loud, he had never seen anyone see a beautiful woman showing such a ridiculous look, and he couldn't help but laugh with Liu Yi beside him in a low voice.
"What do you say Zhao Guo is doing, don't they want to come to ask for marriage, could it be that such a prince sent is trying to mess up this matter?"
Liu Yi glanced at Zhao Zhendu, and said lightly: "Zhao is really the old son of the Empress Dowager Xin of Zhao Guoxin, and the Empress Dowager Xin is the most favored, even if the concubines in his house are not much worse than his brother Zhao You, presumably Zhao You was hindered by the face of the Empress Dowager Xin, so he compromised and let him come to our country." β
Liu Yi thought about it for a while, then looked at Zhao Zhen again, thinking that Zhao You was not a person who made decisions easily and hastily, could it be that Zhao Zhen was sent to be serious just because of Empress Dowager Xin's face?
And at this moment, seeing those beauties flying with their sleeves flying in the dim light, Zhao Zhen's heart was as uncomfortable as being bitten by 10,000 ants at the same time, and he had long forgotten who his surname was.
In his eyes, beauty is everything, everything is beauty, as for what kind of image he left in front of others, it will not be something he will waste time thinking about at all.
"Okay, this turn, this look back, the dance is so beautiful, it's unmatched......" Zhao Zhen muttered out of shape from time to time.
The people of Zhao around him couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed, but they had no choice but to accompany him to lose face in front of everyone.
And sitting opposite the people of Zhao were the people of their ally, the Jin State.
Although Zhao and Jin are allies, they cooperate with each other on the surface, but they also have a lot of personal grievances, and no one can see who is good.
The envoy sent by the Jin State is Su Dayong, the Marquis of Shiwei, he is the biggest contributor to Zhao Shu's ascension to the throne, it can be said that without him, Zhao Shu would not be able to sit on the throne at all, because his position is the commander of the forbidden army who is in charge of the security of the Jin Palace.
"The real prince will really enjoy it, as the saying goes, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, in front of our true prince, what other beauty can not be done with a face, it is to ask the gold and silver mountains, and the real prince is willing to give it,"
Su Dayong has a round face that seems to be forever kind, he is not tall, but also a little fatter, and his appearance makes people never imagine that he is the commander of the forbidden army of the Jin Palace, at this time, he respectfully said to King Song Tang Fu with a smile: "If King Song is willing to give up a beautiful princess to come out to be the princess of the real prince, wouldn't it be able to be favored by thousands of people?" β
Tang Fu, who was sitting on the throne, looked slightly stiff, and if he changed his parents who loved their children normally, he would not want to marry his daughter to a person like Zhao Zhen who looked ridiculous and lustful.
And the people of Zhao State also looked nervous when they heard this, one of the tasks of their trip was to ask for marriage, of course it was not for Zhao Zhen, even if Zhao Zhen really had this intention, their monarch would not agree, even their own people in Zhao State did not dare to marry their daughter to Zhao Zhen, let alone such a big thing as courting!
"Lord Shiwei has misunderstood." The people sent by Zhao Guo are naturally not stupid, although they were eager to find a hole to drill into Zhao Zhen's form just now, but at the critical moment, they still take safeguarding the interests of Zhao Guo as the top priority, and naturally they will not let the people of Jin State succeed.
The person who spoke was about fifty years old, and it was Cui Shanyuan, the prince of Jingguo of Zhao State, because the person who sent the New Year's tribute to the Jin State this year was actually a stakeholder like the Marquis of Shiwei, and Zhao Guo did not dare to treat it carelessly, Cui Shanyuan was the loyal minister of Zhao State, and he was decent and very famous, and he was sent to not only show that he attached importance to the matter of courtship, but also suppressed Zhao Zhen with prestige at a critical moment.
"Zhao Guo's marriage is for the prince to be the crown princess, if the king is willing to cut his love, the princess will marry Zhao Guo will be able to get the prince's favor, but I don't know who the Jin Kingdom is for? Not long after your King Jin succeeded to the throne, I heard that the civil strife was not settled, are you a little anxious about courting relatives? Cui Shanyuan also smiled kindly, brushing his beard as he spoke, looking more amiable and sincere than Su Dayong.
Tang Fu listened, and looked at Su Dayong, also curious.
Su Dayong smiled unhurriedly and said: "Jing Guogong is really good at guessing, how can he know that it is for the king of my Jin Kingdom?" β
Cui Shanyuan stroked his bearded hand, the smile on his face was slightly stiff, and Tang Fu was also very surprised.
"Asking for the king of the Jin Kingdom?"
Su Dayong said with a smile: "Of course, our King Jin is young and handsome, and the princess of Song Country is noble, and only with such a noble title as Queen Jin can she be worthy of the princess." β
Tang Fu and the queen glanced at each other, their expressions were a little solemn, and after a while, Tang Fu said: "Tonight is a dinner party for entertaining all the distinguished guests who come from afar, so let's not talk about courtship, in previous years, both countries have prepared some of their own performances, I don't know if there are still preparations this year?" I remember last year you were all very good at putting on a show. β
On the stage, the dancing girls danced, like a dream, everyone respects me, the cups are staggered, and the atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious.
In the Zhenguo Mansion, Bai Zhi tossed and turned, still insomnia as in the past, and was about to sit up and ask someone to pour a cup of boiled water to help sleep peacefully, but heard two "cooing" pigeon cries outside the window.
