524 Hunting feast
As for Princess Sanssouci, Lu Ruoqing was not too worried.
Because of Xiao Hao watching from the side, it is impossible for Princess Sanssouci to roll over the waves, and if she dares to flip, she has to shoot her out!
However, Nangong Shuyun still has to be vigilant.
After all, he has only been calculated, and he is accumulating a belly of anger, and he must be holding back his badness, and he may not want to make some kind of moth.
Lu Ruoqing secretly cleared her thoughts.
Xiao Shaoxuan asked her in a low voice, "How is it?" How are you feeling today? ”
Lu Ruoqing smiled lightly, "It's good, don't worry, just wait for a good feast." ”
Thinking about it, he added, "I'm a doctor." ”
Xiao Shaoxuan smiled at her: "Okay, then trust you as a doctor." ”
As he was talking, he heard Liu Jin singing, "The emperor has arrived." ”
The crowd stood up and saluted.
The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat down in the center of the stands, and raised his hand downward, "Get up." ”
Everyone thanked them, and then they sat down one by one.
Concubine Li Xian is now the lord of the harem, and naturally sits in the nearest position of the emperor, followed by Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing and others, and then concubines such as Concubine Li.
Then, the bottom is divided into left and right sides.
On the left is the mission of the Southern Shu Kingdom, headed by Nangong Shuyun, and the tables are arranged in a long row at intervals, like a long dragon.
On the right, Xiao Shaoxuan and Lu Ruoqing are the leaders, followed by King Qi and Nian Ying, Xiao Hao and Princess Sanssouci, and then some important ministers of the court.
Originally, Xiao Haoming was not the emperor's blood and bones, so he could not participate in this kind of banquet.
But because Princess Sanssouci wanted to give Nanshu a face, she also attended.
In order to celebrate today's peace banquet and see off the people of Nanshu, the palace specially prepared large-scale singing and dancing, as well as various juggling performances.
As soon as the scene opened, dozens of beautiful and bewitching dancing girls took the stage.
Lu Ruoqing glanced at it, turned her head sideways and asked, "Last time, that beauty was red medicine, was the emperor canonized?" I don't think I brought it out today. ”
Xiao Shaoxuan said lightly: "I heard that a Jieyu position was sealed. ”
Lu Ruoqing hooked the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and smiled without saying a word.
The dancing girl is a lowly family, from a humble background, and can cross the position of beauty, talent, and nobleman in one fell swoop, and then be named Jieyu, which can be regarded as a holy family.
It seems that this red medicine should be able to be favored by the emperor for a while.
But I don't know, was the red medicine taken by the emperor by chance? Or was he sent to the emperor by someone with a heart, with ulterior motives? I'm afraid it's hard to say.
But now, this is not the time to discuss this.
Lu Ruoqing pursed her lips and said nothing.
At the end of the song and dance, the dancers retreated in an orderly manner.
Nangong stood up suddenly, raised his glass to Xiao Shaoxuan and said, "King Zhenbei, I have heard of your prestige on the battlefield for a long time, and I really want to see it." ”
He smiled, "Since we have come to the hunting ground today, why don't we ......, let's have a try." ”
Xiao Shaoxuan raised his glass perfunctorily, and then said lazily: "No need." ”
Nangong Shuyun's face changed slightly, as if he didn't expect him to refuse so directly, and his face couldn't help but stiffen.
But soon, a bright smile appeared again, "I always thought that King Zhenbei was a cheerful person with a straightforward personality, why didn't he have any interest in hunting today?" ”
Xiao Shaoxuan said coldly: "I have never been interested in hunting. ”
Nangong Shuyun, "............"
Xiao Shaoxuan said again: "The sword in my hand has never been prepared for brutes, only to draw the sword out of the sheath against the enemy!" If you don't drink human blood, there's no need to waste my swordsmanship! ”
These words ......, like scolding, more like some kind of silent threat!
The smile on Nangong Shuyun's face was almost unbearable.
Princess Sanssouci was angry, and immediately said unhappily: "King Zhenbei, how do you speak?" My Fourth Emperor Brother kindly invited you to hunt together, why are you a beast and a murderer? ”
Xiao Shaoxuan looked at her sideways, "So what?" Are you on fire for the sake of brutes? Or do you want to be my enemy? ”
"You ......" Princess Sanssouci blushed angrily and said angrily, "Don't go too far." ”
Xiao Hao pulled her to sit down, "Drink, eat, and say a few words." ”
Princess Sanssouci said aggrievedly: "Brother Mao, you don't help me speak, and you still follow others to wronged me?" I ......"
"If you make trouble again, I'll remove your veil." Xiao Hao said coldly.
"What?!" Princess Sanssouci couldn't believe her ears,
She was suddenly frightened, quickly covered the veil on her face, and bit her lip angrily and annoyedly, panicked and frightened in her heart.
What do you mean? Xiao Hao already knows that she is an ugly bastard?
Therefore, no matter how much she talks, Xiao Hao will lift her old bottom in public.
This bastard!
Princess Sanssouci was so angry that her eyes widened.
Xiao Hao saw that she had shut up, so she softened her tone and said: "Don't worry, you are now the daughter-in-law of the Central Plains Imperial Court, don't just think about your mother's family, but also think about your mother-in-law's family, the emperor is still watching from above." ”
Princess Sanssouci flattened her mouth and said hatefully: "You scare me!" ”
Xiao Hao said in a low voice: "Don't worry, please don't make it difficult for me to be a man, is it okay?" Otherwise, it really annoys the king of Zhenbei, if he starts to hit you directly, I, a blind man, will not be able to stop it. ”
Princess Sanssouci couldn't help but be another layer of fright.
She twisted her face and looked at Xiao Shaoxuan, whose face was as cold as frost, and inexplicably felt a chill coming!
In this world, people who are not afraid of Xiao Shaoxuan, the king of Zhenbei, are an outlier.
Although Princess Sanssouci is domineering and arrogant, it does not mean that she has lost her mind, and she naturally knows in her heart who can be messed with and who cannot be provoked.
Xiao Shaoxuan, she really can't afford to mess with her.
Therefore, under the steps given by Xiao Hao, he closed his mouth and stopped talking angrily.
And Nangong Shuyun naturally can't be more serious with Xiao Shaoxuan.
Seeing that Princess Sanssouci was subdued by Xiao Hao and couldn't make trouble, she stopped.
It's just foreplay, anyway.
Nangong Shuyun smiled, and changed his words: "Since the king of Zhenbei is unwilling to hunt, then that's fine." ”
turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, today's banquet is boring, why don't you have a beast fight show according to the customs of our Nanshu State banquet?" It's also good to cheer everyone up. ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Beast fight? ”
Nangong Shuyun explained: "The emperor can rest assured, it is to put the beast in a cage for a performance, and there will be absolutely no danger, and the nobles on the scene can watch it with confidence." ”
The Emperor was silent slightly.
Nangong Shuyun smiled again, "Of course, this is the custom of our Nanshu Kingdom, and there are also people who are not suitable for the Central Plains." If the emperor and the nobles ......, uh, don't like it, forget it. ”
He paused deliberately.
said as if the people of the Central Plains were afraid, quite a bit of wanting to say and stopping, euphemistically not speaking.
Princess Sanssouci suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the four emperor brothers and the envoy of the Nanshu Kingdom are about to leave, leaving me alone in the Central Plains, and I don't know when I will see such a performance in the future, so I really want to take a look." ”
Speaking of which, if the emperor doesn't agree, he will admit that the Central Plains people are timid and afraid, and he will not give face to the princess of Nanshu.
The Emperor nodded, "Well, let's put on a show." ”
After speaking, he inadvertently glanced at Liu Jin and signaled to do a good job of safety work, so as not to make a mess.
Liu Jin understood, and bowed slightly in response.
At the same time, Lu Ruoqing also glanced at Xiao Shaoxuan, but did not speak.
Xiao Shaoxuan shook his sword and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm here." ”
If Nangong Shuyun dared to make any fierce beasts and hurt Lu Ruoqing, he would directly slaughter Nangong Shuyun and Princess Sanssouci, and the envoys of Nanshu Kingdom would not be left!
---- and talk about a fart!
Lu Ruoqing nodded lightly.
After a while, I saw Nian Xi coming over with reinforcements from the Praetorian Guards, directly adding a layer of defense to the entire hunting ground, and protecting it tightly.
Lu Ruoqing's gaze stopped for a moment.
Nian Xi also looked over and looked at her, but couldn't say a word.
Lu Ruoqing slowly withdrew her gaze.
sighed lightly in her heart, I hope there won't be any mess today, otherwise Nian Xi will definitely be the first to save her!
Instead, it will cause another layer of turmoil.
Just thinking about it, I saw Nangong Shuyun ask people to bring a huge beast cage, ten feet high, ten feet wide, and ten feet long, with black iron as a railing, which looks very hard and firm.
However, Lu Ruoqing didn't feel safe.
If something happens, there are ways to have an accident, it all depends on what the people behind it think.
But she wasn't scared.
Xiao Shaoxuan was by his side, and no one could hurt her in front of him, without fear of any danger.
The Emperor ordered: "The ironclad warriors are on standby!" Guarding safety. ”
Immediately afterwards, Nangong Shuyun asked people to bring several huge black wooden boxes, which were about to move.
---- should be filled with all kinds of beasts.
The men present were all excited, and the women were a little scared, and they were nervous and exchanged ears.
Nian Ying also poked her head and asked Lu Ruoqing, "Are you afraid?" ”
Lu Ruoqing smiled: "If you are not afraid, I am not afraid." ”
Nian Ying smiled and replied: "You're not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Anyway, just hide behind you. ”
She's just joking.
Now there are so many ironclad warriors on standby, and there is a circle of brothers with the Praetorian Guards, as well as the guards who originally guarded the venue, which can be described as iron-clad.
Nian Ying has a lively temperament, not only is he not afraid, but he is excited to wait to see the beast fight.
King Qi smiled: "You are really a stupid and bold person. ”
Nian Ying wrinkled her nose playfully and snorted, "You're stupid!" Don't say it, let others hear. ”
"Wow! White tiger! ”
"Oh my God! And the bears! ”
The moment the wooden box was opened, the crowd exploded.
The inside of the wooden box itself is also protected by iron railings, but when you open the wooden plank, you can directly see the beasts inside.
All kinds, very novel and exciting.
Lu Ruoqing couldn't help but take a few more looks.
In the iron cage at the front, there is a huge white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes, the body is extremely majestic, the eyes are not angry and self-threatening, and naturally exudes the momentum of the king of beasts!
---- enough to make people shudder.
