511 The Secret of the Veil

The next day, the banquet for peace talks was held again.

This time, Nian Ying used the excuse of taking care of the sick King Qi and stayed in the palace and did not attend the banquet.

After listening to the words of the people in King Qi's mansion, Lu Ruoqing nodded and said, "It's okay, lest Ah Ying enter the palace and meet Princess Wuwu, and it's right and wrong, I really can't hide from it." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan was the chief envoy of the Central Plains Imperial Court peace talks.

She, the princess, naturally wants to attend with her.

"Let's go." Xiao Shaoxuan wore a black robe with a dragon pattern, a dark gold belt, and an extraordinarily straight waist, which was amazing and handsome.

Lu Ruoqing couldn't help but look at it twice, and quipped: "If it weren't for your iceberg face, it would be scary to look at, but I'm afraid it will make many girls' hearts flutter." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan immediately said: "I slaughtered them!" ”

Lu Ruoqing couldn't help laughing, "Okay, don't be so vicious." ”

As he was talking, he saw the side concubine Qiao Ying wearing a smoky dress and entered the courtyard in a flutter.

Lu Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "Look, the butterfly is here." ”

Qiao Ying led the girl to the front.

Salute first, and then say: "Your Highness, Princess, I haven't been out for several months, so I want to go to the palace for a banquet together, just to talk to my cousin, Princess Yongning." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan said unhappily: "If you are idle, you will go out shopping by yourself, what are you doing in the palace?" ”

Qiao Ying twisted the handkerchief in her hand and explained in a low voice: "Actually, it was my aunt who was a little unwell, and the people in the family wanted to take me into the palace to take a look, so I could say hello." ”

Lu Ruoqing thought for a while and said, "It's not that I'm stopping you from going to see Concubine Duan. It's just that Princess Sanssouci is also here today, and she doesn't even pay attention to Princess Qi, so she doesn't want to bring too many people into the palace. ”

Qiao Ying hurriedly said: "Don't worry, princess, I will go directly to see my aunt after I enter the palace, and I will not go to the banquet." ”

Speaking of which, Lu Ruoqing is not easy to stop.

No matter what, I have to give Concubine Duan and Princess Yongning a face, and I also have to give my brother a face.

Therefore, he said: "Okay, wait for one more carriage, you follow us into the palace, and then go to Concubine Duan." ”

Qiao Ying suddenly smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you princess." ”

Lu Ruoqing didn't say much to her.

looked at Xiao Shaoxuan and said with a smile: "Let's go, don't delay the hour." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan didn't say anything and went out together.

After waiting for the carriage, he said, "You are too good to talk, and you still have Qiao Ying's oil bottle." ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled lightly, "The main thing is to give face to Princess Yongning and her brother, as well as Concubine Duan." Besides, Qiao Ying was honest after entering the house, and I couldn't embarrass her, I could still do it with favors. ”

Xiao Shaoxuan waved his hand, "Whatever you want, I don't care about these anyway." ”

When she entered the palace, Concubine Duan, who had already learned the news, sent someone to pick up Qiao Ying directly.

Lu Ruoqing smiled, "Look, this is not the end." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan was not interested in Qiao Ying's whereabouts.

He said: "Today I will be inseparable from you!" If Princess Sanssouci still doesn't know how to make trouble with you again, I will directly knock out her front teeth. ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled, "Okay, that's a good idea." ”

The two talked, and then entered the feast together.

Princess Yongning came over to greet her and said with a smile: "My cousin Qiao Ying has caused trouble for the Nine Emperor Brothers and the princess today. ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled, "No, I'll bring it into the palace by the way." ”

Princess Yongning talked about homely things, "Recently, Mu Bai has been busy with the affairs of the ministry, and when he comes back at night, he is still reading books, and he is busy, but he said that he is only at ease in this way." ”

Speaking of Gu's again, "Mrs. Gu's health is not bad, I asked people to pick out high-quality bird's nests and keep them warm every day." ”

Lu Ruoqing had to thank her, "Sister-in-law, I've worked hard." ”

Their aunt and sister-in-law are talking about idle stories, and they are both good-natured people, so they are naturally harmonious.

Lu Ruoqing thought to herself, it should be calm today.

As a result, just thinking like this, I saw a group of palace people coming over with Princess Sanssouci in their arms, their faces gloomy, as if someone had made her very unhappy.

Princess Yongning glanced at it and muttered, "I heard that she has a big temper, look at her like that, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my temper with someone." ”

Lu Ruoqing chuckled, "I don't know who hit the muzzle of the gun again, I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky." ”

Princess Yongning muttered: "If the little palace maid and the little eunuch meet, and Princess Wuwu beats them, it will be in vain, and there is no place to avenge their grievances." ”

Even if she was killed, it would be impossible for the Central Plains Imperial Court to beat the slaves for her, saying that Princess Wuwu was wrong.

Because then there will be no peace talks.

After all, she is the daughter of the queen of Nanshu Kingdom, and her status is precious, and the Central Plains Imperial Court always has to give some face.

Lu Ruoqing said softly: "Sister-in-law, you stay away from that evil star today, lest she bite people like a mad dog and bite you again." ”

Princess Yongning nodded in response, "Well, you should stay away too." ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled, "I don't care, I've already formed a bond with her anyway." ”

Princess Sanssouci puffed into the table.

Nangong Shuyun sat next to him, did not speak, and the air pressure around him was a little low.

The palace people all bowed their heads one after another.

Probably because Princess Sanssouci made trouble yesterday, the emperor arrived early today, and sat in the center, and the presence was naturally solemn.

"Say hello to the emperor." Everyone stood up in unison.

"Excuse me." The emperor waved his hand, and then ordered: "First put on some singing and dancing to help the fun, warm up the scene, let everyone relax, and then it is not too late to start the feast." ”

Liu Jin sang: "Sing and dance!" ”

A group of servants dressed up in fancy clothes came up one after another.

"Ding!" A piano sounded.

Then there is the noisy and noisy, the sound of the big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate dingdong, the sound of the piano is melodious and fluttering, as if to send a cool breeze to the summer, which makes people feel refreshed.

At this time, the dancers also began to pose in the shape of lotus flowers, and then waved their water sleeves one after another, and their bodies danced gracefully.

The music is melodious and the dance is smart, and it looks really pleasing to the eye.

Smiles spread across everyone's faces.

Only Princess Sanssouci still looked angry, looking particularly discordant.

Lu Ruoqing was slightly worried, afraid that something would go wrong.

Therefore, he instructed Ti Ying, "Let people inquire, who did Princess Fang Wuwu meet?" What's going on again? Quietly, don't alarm others. ”

Ti Ying silently went down to make arrangements.

Lu Ruoqing continued to watch the dancers dance.

At this time, I was dancing to the height of a Hu Xuan dance. tide, the dancers have rotated, like tireless spinning tops, turning dazzling.

Suddenly, the central lead dancer seemed to turn too hard, and her veil slipped down with the wind.

Someone immediately complimented, "What a color." ”

Lu Ruoqing raised her eyes and looked over.

The young dancing girl with her veil peeled off, with long eyebrows and sideburns, red phoenix eyes, a fair complexion like white jade, and a slender waist like a water snake, which is quite charming.

The emperor couldn't help but look at it twice and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The dancing girl knelt down shyly and said, "Back to the emperor, the slave maid is cheap and famous." ”

The emperor nodded, "Appreciate the jade Ruyi!" ”

Liu Jin immediately smiled and let the little eunuch hold a green jade Ruyi over.

Lu Ruoqing couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth.

On this occasion, the emperor who can be alone with a jade ruyi is naturally favored by the emperor.

Last time, Yu Ruyi hinted that he would go back to bed.

It seems that this dancing girl is very thoughtful, and knows that she will take this opportunity to give it a go, and deliberately take off her veil to amaze the emperor, and she will not worry about the glory and wealth in the rest of her life.

This little episode passed quickly.

At the end of the song and dance, the emperor announced that the feast would begin first, and said, "I will drink a cup first, you are free." ”

How dare everyone present be casual? The emperor's polite words are just to be heard.

Everyone stood up, raised their glasses in return to the emperor, and then drank all the wine in their hands.

Lu Ruoqing also drank a glass of fruit wine.

She didn't drink well, so she lowered her head and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

I just saw the strange eyes of Princess Sanssouci.

For some reason, Princess Sanssouci kept staring at the red medicine in the distance, her eyes full of resentment, as if she had some kind of grudge.

But......

It doesn't make sense, Princess Sanssouci and Red Medicine don't know each other at all.

If you want to say that the only thing that is related, is that Hongyao was wearing a veil just now, and Princess Sanssouci was also wearing a veil, but she didn't have any reason to resent others for wearing veils.

Lu Ruoqing felt that it was really inexplicable.

This carefree princess is not only ruthless and domineering, but also moody.

Just thinking about it, Ti Ying suddenly approached and whispered: "I just let someone go to investigate, saying that Princess Wuwu was on the way here, and she happened to bump into Concubine Qiao at the Moon Cave Gate, so she was angry." ”

"Huh?" Lu Ruoqing raised her eyebrows lightly and whispered, "Qiao Ying? Such a coincidence. ”

Ti Ying also whispered, "But it doesn't matter, Concubine Qiao has already been sent to Concubine Duan's palace." ”

Lu Ruoqing said softly: "Well, that's good." ”

At this time, after all, it was on the banquet, so it was inconvenient to say more, so I stopped for the time being.

In the middle of the feast, there was another juggling, and then the guards performed a neat sword dance, which was very joyful and lively.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere on the table was already very festive.

Lu Ruoqing also relaxed.

She pointed to the sword dance in the center of the scene, and said to Xiao Shaoxuan: "This is to find some good-looking guards, and then wear some good-looking clothes, compared with the soldiers in Mobei, it is completely a fist and embroidered legs." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan was dissatisfied: "Where is it good-looking?" I see that all of them are five big and three thick! ”

Lu Ruoqing was amused when she heard this, "Okay, okay, our His Royal Highness the King of Zhenbei is the best-looking, and no one else can compare." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan's expression was satisfied.

After that, until the end of the feast, it was peaceful, and there were no moths.

Lu Ruoqing thought to herself, in the end, there is Xiao Shaoxuan and the emperor, Princess Wuwu is quite knowledgeable, and she didn't lose her temper at the banquet, so she can have fewer headaches.

Xiao Shaoxuan took her hand and said, "Let's go, I said that no one dares to trouble you today." ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled, "Yes, you are here." ”

Suddenly, a little eunuch stumbled over.

And exclaimed, "Oh no! Inside the rockery, dead ......, dead people! ”
