In the main hall of Taiji Palace, a sumptuous banquet has been arranged.

This place is the palace specially used by the royal family of Liang to hold a grand banquet, and Emperor Gu Yi of Liang did not directly summon the envoys of the mermaid clan in the Jinluan Palace, but deliberately set up a banquet in the Taiji Palace, creating a more relaxed environment, which is also Gu Cang's opinion, as for the formal discussion and cooperation, to meet the emperor, we have to wait for the report.

Shang Shu ordered Zhang Boren and the crown prince Gu Cang to lead the people of the Liang Kingdom, and the envoys of the shark clan passed through the noon gate and the spacious front hall together, all the way to the Taiji Palace, at this time the Liang Emperor Gu Yi was already sitting on the throne.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Emperor Liang on the throne, and the middle-aged man Yu Zhan led by him hurriedly stepped forward, put his right hand on his left chest, bent down, and presented a gift with the highest etiquette of the Shark Clan, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Liangguo, Yu Zhan of the Shark Clan brought my third prince Yu Yao, the sixteenth prince Beichu, and Princess Fuyin to come to visit, I wish Your Majesty a long life!

Although it is using the etiquette of the shark clan, Yu Zhan's words are very beautiful, not to mention that today's formation knows that there is an incomparable distinguished guest, and naturally he did not step forward to point out Yu Zhan's irregularities, and the rest of the ministers and princes of the Liang Kingdom also hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute, and suddenly the entire palace was full of 'long live' voices.

"Excuse me, all Aiqing, and my sons, get up. ”

Emperor Liang Gu Yi was not dissatisfied with Yu Zhan's behavior, but with a gentle smile on his face, after all, the merman clan is the king of the sea, in terms of power and strength, it is not comparable to the Liang country, and the people are also the highest etiquette of the merman clan, and they really can't find fault.

All the warriors of the merman clan who came to guard were stationed outside with their respective weapons, and were accompanied or guarded by the Praetorian Guards and Xiao Cavalry Guards, which was also out of respect for the Liang Kingdom, after all, when it came to other people's territory, at least the rules still had to be followed, although the sixteen princes of the merman clan named Beichu were very reluctant to hand over their weapons, and even made some unpleasant trouble, but these were harmless, and even under the deliberate approach of the prince Gu Cang, a few words praised the other party to the heart, and called Gu Cang a brother and brother together。

Gu Li, the third prince sitting in his own seat, looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes were hot, and what was hidden in it was full of jealousy, this is one of the prince's privileges, Gu Cang has been the prince for so many years, not only the scenery on the surface, but also the benefits obtained in the open and secretly are immeasurable, first of all, it is conducive to the development of contacts, such as the so-called merman envoy, because he is just an ordinary prince, there is no possibility of direct contact with the other party on this occasion.

Emperor Liang Gu Yi had already specially greeted them before, as an important ally of the Liang Kingdom, the merman clan was very respected, he had the heart to compete for the throne, so naturally he couldn't do bad things with good intentions, once he collided with the other party, it would only make his father start to hate himself.

Any position of power is only temporary, these things are not as important as his father's appreciation and love, after all, the rise and fall of a family, that is, his father's words, he Gu Li is a smart person, which is why he is very disgusted with Concubine Li's mother and son because of his mother, but he has never overdone it, he is a person who cherishes feathers.

With the same meaning, there is also an old man Gu Hai, but in comparison, the fourth child is quite a little too high because of his high self-esteem but fell down, compared to the third Gu Li.

And Gu Xuan didn't have any idea about this, just quietly looked at her back, thinking about something that he thought was inexplicable.

Fuyin?This name is really good, I can't imagine that the little girl who was born in Zhong Tiandi Lingxiu back then has also grown up like herself, she is masked, she should be afraid that her beauty will cause a sensation, Gu Xuan has no doubt, if she takes off the veil, even the most beautiful Oiran in the capital will be overshadowed when she stands in front of her, what do you say? How can you compare those dusty women with her, it is the difference between a little firefly and a bright moon, but Gu Xuan believes that the little girl who has been the best in the Canghai Realm since she was a child will definitely be worthy of the title of the first beauty in the Canghai Realm today.

As for the other races, although I, Gu Xuan, have not seen all of them, but the virtue of the Earth Clan can be guessed by Lao Huo, although the Spirit Clan is also rumored to be a naturally handsome race, it should not be as good as her.

Just as he was thinking nonsense, someone next to him suddenly heard and pulled him back from his fantasy.

"Fifth brother, I didn't expect you to be also temperamental. The fourth brother secretly bumped Gu Xuan's shoulder with a wicked smile on his face, "I've been staring at people for a long time, could it be that you are also interested in this princess of the shark clan?" But just think about it, fifth brother, you have to correct your position, just take a look, don't blame the fourth brother for not reminding you, this is your father's guest, don't be stupid to run over and crash into someone's house, oh no, you are a fool, hey, the taste of the most beautiful princess of the shark clan, hehe." ”

The fourth child supported his chin with his hand, staring at Fuyin over there, with a thoughtful expression on his face, but he found an excellent angle, except for Gu Xuan, no one could notice his current appearance.

And Gu Xuan listened to the mockery of the fourth child in his ears, and his mood rarely fluctuated, and the humiliating and mocking words that were only in his ears in the past now only felt extremely irritated in his ears, and then looked at the cheap appearance of the fourth child next to him, he just wanted to go up and punch him half to death.

But what he said was right, the other party was a VIP of Liangguo, and he was just a frustrated prince, and he really didn't seem to have the ability to take the initiative to talk to him, Gu Xuan lowered his head, and was disappointed.

All the guests were seated, and in the high-pitched voice of the ceremonial officer, the banquet finally officially began.

This banquet in the Tai Chi Palace, at least a waiter-level official is qualified to participate in it, everyone sits on the cushion separately according to the official position or the rank of the title, and there is a small square table painted with red lacquer and tattooed with various patterns in front of him, on which is a pot of top peach source brew from Yongzhou, Liangguo, and a plate of all kinds of rare fruits that have just been shipped over, Jiangzhou specialties, and finally dozens of attendants send another dish every once in a while, the amount is not much, but a total of seven hundred and forty-nine dishes, both exquisite, and atmospheric, and full, these are all handled by the prince Gu Cang, except for some traditional food in the palace, even the prince likes to invent a lot of new dishes to add in, which is not listed here for the time being.

As Emperor Liang Gu Yi on the throne clapped his hands gently, under the arrangement of the eunuchs, the top musicians of the palace and the dancers of the teaching department immediately poured into the entrance from the side gate, and after the salute, the performance officially began.

The crown prince Gu Cang stood up from his seat and introduced everyone in a loud voice.

"The name of this song is called the Nihuang Feather Song, which is done in the next day's dream to the fairy palace and watch the dance of the heavenly maidens of Bai Yujing, please enjoy. ”

Yu Zhan, the leader of the Shark Mission, and several other envoys sat on the right side with the ministers of the Liang Kingdom, while the royal family of the Liang Kingdom and the royal family members of the Shark Clan sat on the left, and the venue between the two sides was where the dancers performed.

Gu Cang, as the crown prince of a country, sat in the first place, next to the third prince of the shark clan, Yu Yao, and the eldest prince Gu Yuan, although he was older, could only sit next to Beichu, and the next one was the third prince and Fuyin, and then the fourth prince Gu Hai, Gu Xuan, and Gu Chuan.

"It's surprising that the prince still knows how to dance music. "As the main intermediary who has communicated with the royal family of Liangguo over the years, Yuyao has been to and from Liangguo many times, so she is naturally familiar with Gu Cang, the prince of the East Palace who has been dealing with state affairs very early.

The merman people are close to nature, like the art of the race, dance and music is also one of their favorite things, this neon phoenix feather song is simply beautiful four words, naturally it has attracted the attention of the merman people, and even Fuyin, who has not spoken, can not take his eyes off it, and his eyes are full of colorful ripples.

Gu Cang waved his hand, poured a cup of Taoyuan brew for Yu Yao with his own hands, and then said with a smile: "Brother Yu Yao is polite, come and taste the palace dishes that I have recently improved myself." ”

Yu Yao looked at the few transparent fish fillets in front of her and was slightly surprised.

"Do you Terrans also eat raw food?"

Gu Cang said with a smile: "Knowing that Brother Yu Yao is a sea clan, this sashimi is made by himself, and when I eat it, I dip it in the sauce here, it is very delicious, I hope Brother Yu Yao is satisfied." ”

Yu Yao looked at a small dish next to the dish, which had some thick black sauce in it, exuding a pungent taste, and suddenly frowned a little.

"Brother Yu, this sauce is called Baheyan, it is made of garlic, ginger, orange, white plum, cooked corn, japonica rice, salt, sauce eight kinds of ingredients, I finally made the seasoning, and this raw sea fish fillet is a perfect match, Brother Yuyu stirred it and can be eaten. ”

While talking, Gu Cang also showed the other party with his own hands, first picked up a piece of sashimi, put it on a plate, dipped it in the sauce gently, and then took a bite.

And Yu Yao and the others next to him also learned to eat.

Gu Xuan leaned forward slightly, and when he was about to see her eating, the four elders fell forward generously, and then turned their heads to look in the direction of Fuyin, completely covering Gu Xuan's sight.

After chewing a few times, Yu Yao stretched out his thumb and praised: "Brother Cang is really a strange person, this sashimi tastes amazing, I ask Brother Cang to teach me how to make it, otherwise I won't be able to eat when I go back to the shark clan." ”

"Hahaha, Brother Yu Yao said and laughed, it's just a small dish, Brother Yu Yao wants to learn, so I will naturally teach it. ”

The guests and hosts here are happy, but Gu Li is a little uncomfortable, his mother has asked him to compete for the crown prince since he was a child, and now he naturally can't look down on Gu Canghao, but this Gu Cang seems to be born proficient in all kinds of strange skills, what cooking skills, music and rhythm are all proficient, and now he is given a chance to perform, and what kind of neon feather song, and what kind of sashimi, coaxed this shark envoy to be happy, and even the Bei Chu who was separated by a position took the initiative to change positions with the eldest brother, and sat on Gu Cang's side and asked loudly without hesitation。

The more Gu Li thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he couldn't eat the originally delicious meal in front of him when he thought that Gu Cang had made it, so he only cared about drinking.

A princess Fuyin, who turned his head inadvertently, and was eating quietly next to him, came into his eyes.

Gu Li's eyes lit up, not only for the other party's beautiful posture, the enchanting figure and amazed, but also thought of one thing, the importance of this merman clan to the Liang country is self-evident, and the princess of the merman clan in front of him heard that she is the most favored royal princess of the merman clan, I heard her mother say that Queen Su wants to let Shang Shuling, the head of the hundred officials, marry her daughter to the damn second child, if the matter is done, where do you have any chance, but now it's okay, if you can marry the princess of the shark clan, wouldn't it be different?
