Chapter 4: The Banquet

The simple carriage moved, stepping on the twilight sun, and slowly walked in the direction of the palace gate.

"Childe, whose girl is that?" The scholar, who followed the carriage in the distance, lowered the curtain and asked the childe who was sitting in the middle of the carriage. "How can you be so fierce?"

The boy bowed his head, picked up the scroll on the table in the center of the carriage, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if the snow on the top of the mountain had melted.

The scholar didn't react for a while, and was attracted. His son-in-law...... It's too good-looking, right? Just like ...... It's like the immortal in the portrait.

"Tough?" Xie Qiyuan focused on the scroll he had just picked up, unaware that his scholar had wandered, "If you let the person in the palace know that you dare to say that the princess is strong, your son and I can't protect you." ”

"Huh? That one was a princess just now? The scholar was a little surprised, and then a series of questions followed, "The royal princess travels, this carriage is too simple, right?" Princess? Could it be that she is the ninth princess who was recalled some time ago? ”

"Whose girl is that?" When Shake Light appeared at the gate of the palace, someone began to ask.

It's not that they want to pay attention to this woman, but because this woman is so attractive. Dressed in a dark double winding skirt that reaches the ground, the fine patterns on the clothes are stable during the walk, and the long hair is held by a plain hairpin, simple and noble. The bearing of the walking room...... It's like ...... The person who came up with this idea in his mind couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and looked at the strange woman who walked into the hall and couldn't help but gasp, which girl is this? Why do you have such a bearing?

Shaking the light lowered his eyes, as if he didn't feel the shock he had brought. The palace maid who followed the guide walked to her seat and sat down.

Seeing the position where Shaoguang was sitting, he was in a cold sweat before, and he was relieved at the moment. It turned out to be the ninth princess who had been cultivating on Jingshan, no wonder there was a faint display of a noble aura around her body. It's just that the bearing of these nine princesses is slightly worse than that of today's saints, but they are better than the prince of the East Palace.

I don't know how these nine princesses grew up on Jingshan, how could they have such a demeanor?

Shaking Light narrowed the smile on the corner of his mouth a little, and lowered his eyes to look at the wine bottle in front of his desk.

She hasn't attended this banquet for a long time, so she really misses it.

"The emperor has arrived—the queen has arrived—"

The hall suddenly fell silent, shook the light and got up, and knelt down with the people around him. Greet the supreme ruler of Daning, and greet her father who put her in Jingshan for ten years.

There was a faint mockery in the bottom of the shaking eyes, but it was only for a moment, and then it dissipated. It has returned to its previous plain appearance.

The corners of the ink-colored clothes passed in front of the shaking light, and the patterns outlined by the gold threads on them came to life.

No one knew that when Emperor Ning passed by the front of Shaoguang just now, her whole body tensed, not afraid.

"Flat—"

Shake the light and get up and sit down. Ignoring the gazes of the people around her, she focused her gaze on the highest part of the entire hall, where the two people were the last to sit down, and they were also the two most honorable people in Daning.

Although she had been mentally prepared, when she saw the person next to Emperor Ning, she couldn't help but shrink her pupils.

Immediately after that, there was a surge of wind and waves. Close your eyes and move your gaze to the side, which hides all the stormy waves under your eyes.

She suddenly regretted that she had come to this banquet and met many people she had once known.

Sensing that a gaze fell on her from the high seat, she restrained her breath a little.

This place is a place she has not set foot in for many years, and it is also the place she remembers the most. also caused her to not restrain her momentum when she entered the temple before. Now, there's still a long time, so why expose yourself in the first place?

Shaking the light and lowering his eyes, he looked casual.

Someone next to him saw it, shook his head and sighed, I'm afraid he just read it wrong. The Ninth Princess's casual atmosphere now is really a person who has been on Jingshan for ten years, and there is no trace of rules.

Sitting in the seat closest to Emperor Ning in this row was the eldest princess Kaiyang, who was quite famous for her gentleness, and she saw the dissatisfaction hidden in Emperor Ning's brows after falling somewhere.

Following Emperor Ning's gaze and looking at it quietly, she was also shocked. She had never seen a woman in such a pose.

The fire in her heart was protruding, and she didn't show it on her face.

How can a woman sit on a table on an important occasion? Not to mention women, even men are elegant seats on such occasions.

Shaking Light put his arms on his knees at this moment, and his hands were weakly holding his head. His eyes were half-narrowed, as if he had been attracted by the music.

As a princess, Kaiyang is naturally a model for all women in the capital.

The etiquette is upright and the demeanor is elegant. Even those old antiques in the court can't find fault with her, and even praise her for her royal demeanor. The noble ladies and girls who interacted with her couldn't find fault with their manners. Why is this ninth sister ...... That's how it works?

Kaiyang beckoned, called the maid behind him, and whispered a few words.

Then he saw the servant girl, bowing her head, and humbly going to the place where the shaking light had sit.

was stopped by Lu Su, who was sitting behind Shaguang.

The maid couldn't, so she had to go back to the seat of the eldest princess Kaiyang and tell Kaiyang everything that had just happened.

The more his heart burned, the deeper the smile on Kaiyang's face.

This ninth sister is really good.

Yu Heng, who had all this in his eyes, glanced at the shaking light that was a seat away from him invisibly, and his eyes were full of envy. When will she be able to act as she pleases like this sister? As a princess, where do you have any choices?

"The envoy of Wei has arrived—"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen envoys from the Wei State had already appeared in the center of the main hall. There were more than 100 people who came to the capital to send a delegation, but only a dozen people appeared in the main hall. It's just that these dozen or so people, each of them are the objects that they need to guard against.

Standing at the forefront is the third prince of the Wei royal family, Mo Liyan.

At this moment, he has a smile on his face, a smile between his eyebrows, and between his gestures, where can he see that he is still in a mess this morning?

Shake Light quickly retracted his gaze. This third prince, as in the legend, is not a simple character.

"The envoys of Wei came from afar, and they have worked hard." Emperor Ning had a smile on his face, as if he didn't remember that his son had died not long ago, and that he had died under the army of this country. Emperor Ning waved his hand, pointed to the seat on the right that was specially vacated, and said, "Please take a seat." ”

"Emperor Shainin."

This banquet was originally held to welcome the Wei delegation.

Why visit Ningguo? The people in the main hall who thought of this place put their eyes on the smiling Wei people who had already sat down, and they couldn't help but have some mockery and anger in their eyes. There are even some officials who directly pin their faces to the side.

Their four heavenly and talented princes actually died in the hands of these people!

What's more, the Wei State has repeatedly violated their Daning border, and now the more I look at them, the more annoying they become!

This banquet was just a simple welcome banquet. There's nothing up-and-down, there's nothing thrilling.

Shaking his bare hands to support his head, dazed. It's not that she wants to, it's just that the music is really boring. Maybe it's because she hasn't listened to it, or maybe it's because she is exposed to music with a very different style than these on Jingshan.

Mo Liyan's gaze stopped on Shaoguang's body for a moment, and then moved away to look at the others. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. This sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War is very appropriate whenever it is used.

The four princes who are the most heroic and warlike in Daning have been beheaded by their Wei State, and I don't know if there will be another amazing and brilliant figure in the Daning royal family.

They came to Ningguo at this time, although they lost all their face here. But these things are not left here for nothing.

One day, they will trample Daning under their feet! Shame on the snow today!

Mo Liyan remembered the scene when they walked into the capital today. His eyes were full of anger, the wine cup in his hand was pinched by him, and the green tendons jumped, it was best not to let him know who hit the stone on his head today!

It's just that when I saw a figure behind Shake Light, the cup in my hand suddenly fell from my hand. Rolling on the ground, the sound was crisp.

This man, he remembers.

The girl in green who leaned against the window and smiled at him! Although she had changed her outfit, he recognized it! It was just hidden in the dim light behind him, and he hadn't seen it before.

"What's wrong with the third prince? Isn't our Daning's wine bad? So much so that you even threw away the wine glass, the third prince? Prime Minister Xie Nanshan squinted slightly, and said after a long pause.

The atmosphere above the main hall is about to erupt!

Mo Liyan also eased up at this time, and quickly changed to a smile. Since Wei sent him on this trip, it is enough to prove that he has extraordinary ability!

"What did you say, Prime Minister? Liyan lost the glass is true, it's just ......" Mo Liyan seemed to be a little embarrassed, with some apology between his eyebrows, "This wine is really a few times in the world, Liyan has never drunk such good wine in the Wei State." So much so that he was greedy for the cup, so that he didn't hold the wine glass, and looked at the crowd. Judging by his expression, his words were earnest, and those who didn't know really thought that this person had drunk too much.

I have to say that these three princes Mo Liyan definitely have two skills, otherwise he would not have fallen after his words, and the tense atmosphere in the hall has all dissipated.

"The three princes don't be greedy, we have a lot of good wine in Daning, and the three princes will definitely taste it in the future." Prime Minister Xie touched his beard and smiled.

Mo Liyan, the third prince of Wei, is sleek and shrewd, and he will definitely be a strong opponent of Daning in the future!

"Keep your word in mind."
