Chapter 232: The Banquet of the Five Kingdoms
But Chenguang has no suitable candidate.
Watching Huo Wu comb Suiyun's bun into shape with a pair of skillful hands, she buried her head between her arms, let out a long sigh, and muttered:
"If only Xiaoxi were here!"
A gold silk inlaid with rubies, the double luan, the emerald step, was hairpinned into the bun like a cloud.
Morning Light smelled a familiar smell.
She was startled, bounced up like a shrimp, and looked behind her in surprise, and what caught her eye was Changxi's elegant and beautiful face.
"Xiaoxi! Xiaoxi! Chenguang was overjoyed, took her hand, and asked happily, "Why are you here?" ”
Chang Xi said with a smile: "I heard that Duanmu Yan received a letter from Emperor Chiyang, and he was going to convene a temporary Four Congresses in the Holy City, so I guessed that His Royal Highness should use me. ”
Chenguang became happier and happier, smiling so much that she couldn't see her teeth, she grabbed Chang Xi's hand and said happily:
"Xiaoxi, follow me to the palace banquet!"
"Yes." Chang Xi looked at her with bent eyebrows and smiled.
……
Changhuan Palace.
Yanyun Kingdom arrived first.
On occasions like this, it is customary to set the order according to the strength of the country, and the stronger the country, the more it will postpone its appearance in order to show its status.
Although Yanyun Country is rich, but its military strength is not good, and Yanyun Country has always been low-key and unassuming under the leadership of Duanmu Yan, and they don't care very much about who comes first and who arrives last.
Duanmu Yan came to see the excitement today.
The first time that the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom appeared in front of all the countries, a woman, leading another country that was eyed by other countries and was ready to get a piece of the pie, from tonight, the next things will definitely be very exciting.
Not long after the Yanyun Kingdom delegation arrived, the people of Longxi Kingdom came.
Emperor Longxi was wearing a light gold embroidered dragon and peony gown, with a graceful appearance and moon rhyme, elegant and dusty.
It was the first time that the two sides met, and the last time the Seven Nations Congress was attended by Ouyang Ji, the prime minister of Yanyun Kingdom.
Greeting politely, Duanmu Yan looked at Shen Run carefully, and thought in his heart, it turned out that this was the ex-husband of Wildcat.
Because he had been staring at Shen Run for a little longer, the expression of a young general beside Shen Run was a little guarded, and he was still muttering a few words in Shen Run's ear.
Duanmu Yan listened to the explanation of the attendant, and learned that the kid named Xue Chong was the young general of Long Xi Kingdom, who had made miraculous contributions in the war of Cangqiu State against the border of Long Xi Kingdom, young talent, promising future, and the younger brother of Emperor Long Xi's brother-in-law, when Emperor Long Xi was still King Rong, he followed him like a fart, because of worship, so he was very loyal.
Duanmu raised his eyebrows, honestly he didn't like that kid very much.
At this moment, the eunuch at the door sang loudly:
"His Royal Highness Cangqiu Country Eighth has arrived! The national teacher of Cangqiu Country has arrived! ”
In the main hall, everyone's eyes were attracted.
The Eighth Highness of Cangqiu Kingdom is seventeen years old this year, and because he has not yet reached the weak crown, he has not yet been crowned king. Seventeen years old, an excellent age, but this Eighth Highness couldn't see that he was only seventeen years old, and his appearance was too old, so he was so young, with thick eyebrows, thick beard, and a potholed face. He was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a big waist and a round waist, which is very in line with the body shape of the Cangqiu people.
Compared to him, the national teacher who walked in later and led the ministers was too different from the Cangqiu countrymen.
Dressed in purple, with a light fur ribbon, a deep outline, exquisite facial features, and a little soot mole on the tip of the nose, he brought a demon from his bones.
Shen Run felt that he was so familiar.
The face was gloomy.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, isn't that ......" Xue Chong was dumbfounded, staring at Yan Ying deadly, almost piercing him through a hole with his eyes.
The people of Long Xi were shocked and looked at each other.
Shen Run sneered: "Long Xiguo is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" ”
He walked over.
The eighth prince Wu Kun was still young, and under the leadership of Yan Ying, he came over and politely said a few polite words to Shen Run, in the end, he was young, and he probably didn't have talent, but he was very clumsy in talking on such an occasion.
Shen Run's eyes stared at Yan Ying deadly, and he greeted with a smile.
Yan Ying smiled as if nothing happened, as if the two of them had never known each other.
Xue Chong asked stupidly: "You are not ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Qin Shuo, and he was very angry and asked Qin Shuo why he kicked him.
Until Shen Run glanced at him coldly, Xue Chong still didn't understand, but he still kept his mouth shut.
Since the other party is already the national teacher of Cangqiu Country, it is not easy to mention the past on this occasion, so he can only investigate what this person's identity is later, and as for the state banquet of Chiyang Country, they can only pretend not to know each other politely.
Yan Ying glanced at Xue Chong, who looked stupid, and heard that it was this kid who kidnapped the kitten for the murder named Bai or something, but was thrown into the small house by the kitten.
It is his fate to come out alive.
This time, it was he who strongly advocated attacking the Feng Ming Kingdom and then dividing up the Four Kingdoms, Yan Ying didn't mind carving up the Feng Ming Kingdom one piece, but the little cat knew that this idea was Xue Chong's idea, and I don't know if it would anger Shen Run because of this.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
Soon, Emperor Chiyang led the civil and military officials to appear as princesses, queens and precious concubines.
This is in Chiyang Country, and the number of people attending in Chiyang Country is naturally the largest.
Emperor Chiyang smiled, the countries exchanged greetings for a long time, Emperor Chiyang finally found that there were only four people in the hall, and there was one less country, he was a little unhappy, called the official in charge of reception with a calm face, and asked in a cold voice:
"The Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Underworld has not yet arrived?"
Seeing that His Majesty was angry, the receptionist replied tremblingly:
"Just now, someone from the Feng Ming Kingdom sent a message, saying that His Royal Highness Lord Feng suddenly became unwell and would not arrive until a while later."
Emperor Chiyang became more and more unhappy.
Originally, the four countries did not have a share of Feng Mingguo, and inviting Feng Mingguo to participate in the palace banquet was to give Feng Mingguo face, and he dared to be late like this, Feng Mingguo was simply shameless.
He sneered: "Since you are not feeling well, then don't come at all." ”
At this moment, I heard the eunuch outside the door singing loudly:
"His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom has arrived!"
Everyone was slightly stunned, and just after saying that they were uncomfortable, they came, okay, so fast!
Outside the door, as soon as the aftermath fell, a snow-white figure slowly entered with elegant steps.
Like a woman in the smoke and fog, except for a black hair, the whole body is snow-white, with a beautiful appearance, elegant and vulgar.
Walking beside her was a young man in a bamboo-blue brocade robe, with red lips and bright teeth, and a face like a crown of jade.
People quickly recognized that the man in the bamboo-blue silk shirt was the prime minister of Yanyun Kingdom, the head of the Ouyang family, the first wealthy family in Yanyun Kingdom, and Ouyang Ji, who was nicknamed "Changxi Gongzi".
Why is Ouyang Ji with the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom?
People's hearts were shocked and suspicious, and they all looked at Duanmu Yan, who was also a little surprised.
Duanmu Yan smiled bitterly in his heart.
He didn't expect that Chang Xi, who was supposed to exterminate the South Yue Society in the territory of Feng Ying Kingdom, would actually come to the Holy City.
actually rushed here, Chang Xi is simply terrifying.
This time, it's really lively.
