Chapter 41: The Palace Goes to the Banquet 2
The Zhaoren Hall is the place where His Majesty the Emperor receives the envoys and holds banquets, and the Zhaoren Hall is a little more magnificent and magnificent than the solemnity of the Chengqian Palace.
Walking through the jade steps, entering the main hall, the first thing you see is the four coiling dragon pillars erected at the four corners, and the golden dragon opens its teeth and claws, symbolizing the supreme authority.
At both ends of the hall, according to the rank of the official, a table has been arranged, and after Meng Huai'an took his seat, the family members sat in the back.
When she looked around, she was facing the bright eyes of Prince Atam, who was sitting diagonally opposite, and he actually smiled at her, as if he knew her.
Mu Lingkong was slightly surprised, but he smiled back politely, and then looked away and looked away.
When all the ministers in the palace arrived, His Majesty the Emperor Nanyue was late, and Mu Lingkong knelt down with everyone to salute.
"All Aiqing, let's be flat!"
Nanyue Emperor Fengyu is just a young man, with a beautiful beard, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and very elegant.
And Mu Lingkong's gaze fell on the Ying Guifei next to the emperor.
Concubine Ying is only in her thirties, with a pair of Danfeng eyes charming and moving, plump figure, and well-maintained, she can't tell that she is the mother of His Royal Highness King Chang, but she seems to be an equal, and it is no wonder that the holy favor is not declining.
Emperor Nanyue looked at Prince Atam, who was sitting opposite Feng Mingzhen, and said with a smile, "Prince Atam has come from afar, today's banquet can be regarded as a breeze for you, and it will also let you appreciate the style of Nanyue!" After speaking, he clapped his hands, and saw the court dancers rushing in from outside the door, and the banquet was considered to have begun.
Nanyue is good at dancing, the dancing girls are all like willows, Chu waist is slender, and when they dance with wide sleeves in the main hall, they are like fairies.
Mu Lingkong was eating the snacks on the table while watching the beauties dance, and he was very happy.
After a dance, a group of musicians of different races suddenly poured in from outside the hall, and the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Atamu, "This is?" ”
Atamu stood up, put his right hand on his chest and saluted the emperor, "This is the dance that my sister Tina will dedicate to Your Majesty!" ”
The emperor stroked his palms and smiled, "I have long heard that the princess is good at dancing and is the pearl of the desert, I am really blessed with eyes!" ”
When the exotic music sounded in the main hall, Mu Lingkong's spirit was shocked, and he looked intently at the door, and saw a woman in red spinning in like a flame.
The woman's curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and only a sapphire bracelet hung down her forehead, and what was brighter than the gemstone were her blue eyes, clear as a lake and like a vast sky, which made people feel smiling and seductive.
Concubine Ying's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes showed a little jealousy, and then she turned her gaze to look at the emperor, and saw that he was just appreciative, and the stone in her heart slowly fell to the ground.
Princess Tina wears a golden bell between her wrists and ankles, which makes a beautiful sound as she spins and dances from time to time, and the red dance dress on her body is very light, and when she stretches her arms and spins in circles, it looks like a blooming peony flower, gorgeous and luxurious.
When she stepped on the beat, her waist twisted like a snake, and sometimes she crossed and rotated like a mountain deer.
Nanyueguo's dance does not have such an unrestrained and cheerful rhythm, so when they see her dance, everyone feels refreshed.
Just as everyone was indulging in the dance, Princess Tina suddenly twisted her waist and turned around to the seat on the left, and at some point, she actually took a rose in her hand.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at it, and they were shocked at a glance, where the elegant and dignified His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting.
I saw Princess Tina carrying her skirt and rotating around Feng Mingzhen, dancing more and more urgently, the bell on her body rang together, and finally sat down in front of Feng Mingzhen's case, the skirt turned into a big flower on the ground, her white wrist stretched forward tactfully, and the rose in her hand was being handed in front of Feng Mingzhen.
The pin drop was heard in the hall for a while, and everyone was stunned by this scene, paying attention to the changes in the situation here.
Mu Lingkong suddenly thought of what Meng Ruyue said before, Princess Tina fell in love with Feng Mingzhen at first sight, and the two of them went in and out along the way, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Meng Ruyue carefully pulled her sleeve, "What's the matter, it's just a flower, why do you have this expression!" ”
Mu Lingkong silently pulled back his sleeves and gathered his thoughts, "In Jiulibu, a woman dances and offers flowers to a man to show her love, as long as the man receives the flower, it means that he is interested in the woman, and the two can get married!" ”
"Ahh This, this, Jiuli is too unrestrained! Meng Ruyue looked surprised.
Mu Lingkong was silent and didn't answer.
Feng Mingzhen looked at the roses in front of him, his smile remained unchanged, and he said softly, "The princess can't accept Mingzhen's intentions, Mingzhen should make it clear to the princess on the way!" ”
Princess Tina simply took back the flower, "I know, but I want to try again, I didn't expect that you can refuse a beauty like me twice in a row!" ”
Feng Mingzhen shook his head and smiled, and on the other side, Concubine Ying's heart fell down steadily.
Before Princess Tina left, she suddenly said, "I want to meet her!" ”
This thoughtless sentence, everyone didn't understand the meaning, but Feng Mingzhen nodded and smiled, "Okay!" ”
This little episode did not disrupt the progress of the banquet, and the emperor and the concubine only had no accident, and when the song and dance started again, Mu Lingkong said hello to Meng Ruyue and quietly left the table to breathe outside.
The first time she came to the palace, she didn't dare to go too far, so she went around in a circle in the small garden next to the palace, but fortunately, there were palace lamps hanging on the side of the path in the garden, so that the lights would not be blind.
When she walked to the rockery in the corner of the garden, she suddenly heard the sound of grunting in the distance, she looked slightly, and saw the alien man who had been putting the falcon on the shore of Qiuyue Lake came over, followed by a subordinate, and the two were talking while looking around in the garden.
Mu Lingkong's intuition was not good, so he quietly hid behind the rockery, and suddenly bumped into a person when he was retreating, which scared her, and then a pair of warm hands stretched out, covering her mouth and dragging her waist into the depths of the rockery.
This rockery is overlapped, and there is a hidden hole in the innermost part, just enough for two people to stand close together. Through the faint light outside the cave, Mu Lingkong could barely see the person holding her, wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing a bright yellow court dress, with long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a straight nose, and a cold face, it was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Feng Mingzhen.
He stared at the two people outside who were speaking foreign dialects walking in front of the rockery, and then lowered his head and looked at her with a softened expression, "Miss Meng!" ”
The two were close to each other, and the breath of Lan on Feng Mingzhen's body was in the air, Mu Lingkong rarely felt a little uncomfortable, and she gently pushed Feng Mingzhen's chest.
Feng Mingzhen looked at the jade white hand on his chest, and said in a low voice, "People haven't gone far yet!" ”
Sure enough, after a while, footsteps sounded outside again, and the two aliens came back and spun around without giving up, and finally muttered and left.
Mu Lingkong thought to himself, it's time to go, so he began to push Feng Mingzhen again.
Feng Mingzhen's hand around his waist tightened, "It's still ...... Didn't go ......"
Mu Lingkong's eyebrows are about to wrinkle into pimples, and he hasn't left yet? She listened attentively, and really didn't hear the sound, but she suspected that her cultivation was not as good as Feng Mingzhen, so she didn't hear it, so she obediently lay on his chest and muttered, "I don't know what they said!" ”
