Chapter 9: The Banquet
"Really?"
Feng Yang kept complaining in his heart about Chu Zhi who left him, and he had a serious nonsense on his face: "Of course." ”
Wei An didn't want to say more to him, turned around to face the gate of the Hall of Merit, there was an official in charge of etiquette standing straight at the door, Wei An said to him, "Let's start." ”
After the ceremonial officer waited for Feng Yang to enter the team, he pulled his neck and began to sing.
"On the 12th day of the seventh month and the 14th day of the third month of the fifth year of the ...... of the 19th month"
The voice of the ceremonial officer was long and echoed, and it spread far and wide through the square......
Night.
Because of the reason of the court sacrifice, the lights in the palace are dim, the palace guards come and go, the silk and bamboo orchestra in the Changle Hall is not stopped, and the staggered scenery is a grand scene in the music palace.
The palace was bustling with activity, and the banquet was already halfway through, but there was always an empty seat in the place where the envoy sat on the right, which was particularly conspicuous in the banquet that was almost full except for this seat.
Feng Yang sat next to the vacant seat, drinking absentmindedly, glancing at the door from time to time, and once again complained that Chu Zhi was really unreliable.
The chatter of the people next to him reached Feng Yang's ears.
"I got the news that Emperor Chu Zhi, who is stunning in Northern Chu, will attend the court sacrifice on behalf of Northern Chu, but why hasn't she come yet?"
"Who knows."
There was a person next to him who lowered his voice and said: "Beauties have tempers, and they have to make a self-righteous finale, maybe this emperor is also ......."
Before the man's words were finished, there was a sudden "bang" next to him, the sound was not loud, it could only be heard by the people around, but it was enough to show the anger of the master.
The three people who were talking hurriedly looked at the source of the sound, and when they saw Feng Yang dressed as a Northern Chu, the three of them looked at each other and hurriedly silenced each other.
And Chu Zhi, who was constantly being complained about by the wind, had already come to the outside of Changle Palace at this moment.
Lu Yin was sent by her to run errands, so she was the only one walking on the palace road at the moment.
The surrounding scene was familiar and unfamiliar, Chu Zhi walked through the floor absentmindedly, and it was not until she was stopped by the eunuch guarding the palace gate that she suddenly came back to her senses.
The eunuch looked at Chu Zhi's beautiful face, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and after colliding with Chu Zhi's gaze, he hurriedly lowered his head again.
"This is the place where the court banquet is held, and the idle people can't get close, so may I ask the girl ......?"
Chu Zhi naturally knew these rules, reached out and took out the invitation card in his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch, who took it and opened it for a while, and immediately saluted respectfully.
"The slave doesn't know that the girl is the emperor of Northern Chu, if there is something to offend just now, I still hope that the emperor Haihan."
Chu Zhi nodded carelessly: "It's okay." ”
In the Changle Palace, the dancers in enchanting costumes retreated, but the music in the palace did not stop, the banquet was about to end, and the ministers and envoys in the palace had let go after drinking, talking loudly, and they were happy.
Wei An sat at the top, Queen Lin Yuan sat next to her, and the two of them did not communicate from beginning to end, and they were a little colder than strangers.
In the noisy room, the sharp voice of the eunuch outside suddenly sounded, and the sound was like a sharp blade through the air, clearly transmitted to every corner of the hall.
"Emperor Ji of Northern Chu Chuzhi has arrived-"
