Chapter 159: The program is varied

After the Rouran envoy Azig sat down, he remembered the uninvited guests who came to the Rouran Post House yesterday, when they threatened Azig to take them to the palace birthday banquet. Ｘ

I had no choice but to bring them here.

He glanced at the rough and domineering servant beside him, his expression was indifferent, and he whispered:

"The national division has already brought you to the palace for a banquet, you caused a big disaster to the khan not long ago, but you can't make any more trouble. Otherwise, the Khan won't be able to keep you! ”

The son of the national teacher, the hussar general Ashina, glared angrily at the attendant.

The man squinted at Azig noncommittally, as if he hadn't taken Azig in his eyes.

He sneered slightly, and drank with the strong man beside him.

Liu Ziye was drinking, the peacock feather fan was swaying gently, half-covering his face, but a pair of fox eyes were glancing around, and he glanced at Hu Lu Tu Xiu, who was pretending to be an entourage, and said a few words to his imperial sister from time to time.

After three rounds of wine, hundreds of cranes with silver beards, dressed in light gray robes, neat clothes and shoes, and quite fairy bones, left the table to come to the ancestor and the emperor's table, and once again blessed the ancestor with the joy of birthday.

"I wish the Great Wei Guozuo to continue, I wish your majesty long live, long live, ......long live,

Then walk up to the song stage dance pavilion in the atrium of the Taiji Palace, and each old man writes a different font of longevity on a big red satin.

"Old Ancestor," the emperor explained to the old ancestor and the crowd: "This is the girl of the Gu family, specially invited for the old ancestor to invite a hundred centenarians, which means to add longevity to the old ancestor. ”

"Hundreds of centenarians, adding longevity to the mourning family?" The old ancestor nodded happily, "Okay, good, there will be a reward soon, a bag of gold baht for each old man!" ”

"No." Mama Rong, who was waiting by her side, whispered a promise, and then ordered to go down.

It turned out that Xiao Chengcheng said that he had invited a hundred guests, and it was these old people.

The old ancestor sighed again: "It's hard to be a small city, but no one can think of inviting these hundred-year-old people to the birthday banquet in the past." ”

Tuoba Tao said happily:

"Yes, I was quite surprised when I saw Gu Qingcheng report at that time.

At a young age, he is thoughtful.

She took over hosting the birthday banquet, although there was plenty of time, but she was afraid that there would be a delay on the way to invite Lao Suo, so she asked someone to invite her as soon as possible.

The most rare thing is that she actually knows the names and addresses of all the old people.

Now, I still haven't figured out how she's so powerful. ”

The seats of the palace concubines and princesses and the emperor's ancestors were closer, while the princes and grandsons were a little farther away.

When Tuoba heard the emperor's grandfather praise Gu Qingcheng like this, his face couldn't help but feel happy and honored.

Xin said: "My lady, the first beauty in the heavens and the earth, the six realms and nine heavens, is naturally capable of taking on great responsibilities." ”

Tuoba Yu heard his father praise the city so much, but his face was still expressionless, and he looked unfathomable, as if he was wearing an invisible mask, which made people unable to see through.

Although Tuoba Han hated Gu Qingcheng, he was also full of curiosity, that spicy beauty, still has such ability?

Empress Helian remained silent.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi's face was slightly cold.

Frustrated right Zhaoyi's face was indifferent.

Helian glanced at Tuoba Han in a hurry, his eyes were lowered, and then he looked disdainful.

The corners of Helian nobleman's mouth twitched.

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and Yourong.

Princess Kamiya pouted.

"Gu Qingcheng? ......" An Lingtina and Li Shuang'er couldn't help but glance at each other, thinking of the beautiful woman they met in Linglong Pavilion that day.

The two of them thought in unison, could it be that woman is the baby of King Nan'an, Gu Tingcheng?

"The mourning family said that Xiaoqingcheng has the heart of the mourning family." The old ancestor smiled, and looked up again, "What about the little allure city, why hasn't the mourning family seen my little allure city until now?" ”

"Old Ancestor," Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said, "Allure is busy greeting guests, and I will come to accompany Old Ancestor in a while." ”

After the hundreds of veterans finished writing the birthday words, the salute official invited Li Shuang'er, the sister of the hussar general Li Jun, to dance on stage.

Li Shuang'er is charming, hibiscus is looking forward to it, wearing a green Luo skirt, youthful and delicate like a flower.

Light singing and dancing, in the background of the accompanying dancer holding lotus leaves, Li Shuang'er is like a hibiscus out of the water, singing gracefully, dancing the lotus picking dance, and singing the lotus picking song.

The ruffle skirt is cut in one color

Fleur opened to the sides of her face

Messing into the pool is out of sight

When I heard the song, I felt that someone was coming

Li Shuang'er danced smartly, lively and delicate, and interpreted the beauty of a lotus-picking woman vividly.

Gu Tingcheng was directing people to sprinkle honey water on the flowers near the dance pavilion, and some butterflies in the sky were already attracted by the honey water one after another, and then flew to the song stage dance pavilion in the atrium of the main hall.

In fact, Gu Qingcheng could command those butterflies, but Tuoba repeatedly told others not to know about her butterflies, so she deliberately sprinkled honey water.

"Miss Li is not only beautiful, but also dances quite well. I didn't expect the daughter of Jiangmen to dance so well. She looked at the beautiful Li Shuang'er on the stage and whispered a smile to Wei Juan beside her.

Thinking of her and Helan Mingyue fighting for Tuoba in Linglong Pavilion, she couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

"Yes, the hussar general's sister, the eldest lady of the Li family, is indeed capable of literature and martial arts, and she is one of the best beauties in Pingcheng's dancing skills and posture." Wei Wan also whispered with envy.

"Miss Gu," a palace maid named Yutong under Wei Juan quietly pointed to the princesses in the west hall and said, "Li Shuang'er is not the most beautiful beauty in Great Wei, and the daughter of Duke An Guo, the county lord of Liyang, is recognized as the first beauty in Great Wei." ”

Gu Tingcheng looked in the direction that Yutong was pointing, and saw a stunning beauty, wearing a light gold dress, combing a falling ponytail and wearing pearls, looking graceful and luxurious.

"Lord Liyang? Sure enough, she is a stunning beauty. Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but nod in admiration, she had already seen An Lingtina.

Now that An Lingtina is dressed up again, she looks even more beautiful, and her heart is so beautiful, I am afraid that she is even inferior in front of her.

Wei Juan said in a low voice: "Yutong, don't open your dog eyes wide, in front of Miss Gu, will there be the first beauty?" ”

"Aunt Wei, the slave maid is quick to talk for a while, and she said something wrong." Yutong Huo Ran woke up and said softly, "The slave originally wanted to say that the county lord of Liyang was once the first beauty of Great Wei. ”

"Okay, okay, Wei is in charge, don't scare Yutong." Gu Qingcheng laughed in a low voice.

Wei Juan spared the palace maid Yutong at this time, and whispered to Gu Qingcheng:

"The county lord of Liyang was given by His Majesty two years ago to marry the Duke of Qilu and the Kingdom of Qi, and the world called her Mrs. of the Kingdom of Qi.

Now that the Duke of Yu Guo is gone, Mrs. Yu Guo is widowed and has returned to settle in the mansion of the Duke of Anguo. ”

"yes, I've heard a little bit of it." Gu Qingcheng said.

Wei Juan looked at Gu Tingcheng again and smiled: "But now the number one beauty of Dawei should be our Miss Gu." ”

Gu Qingcheng hurriedly said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, don't say that the county lord of Liyang is a well-deserved first beauty, and the princesses of various countries are the real beauties." ”

Xia He, who was beside him, looked at King Gaoyang, then at Gu Qingcheng, and said with a low smile: "How distressed should our King Gaoyang be now." ”

Wei Xuan's face was a little regretful, but also a little sad, frowned and sighed in a low voice:

"Also, I originally thought that there was no suspense, the lord of Shangyang was the cousin of King Gaoyang, and it was logical that she would become Princess Gaoyang, and Miss Li would become the side concubine of King Gaoyang.

Now that Princess Xianji of Khotan and Princess Liu Song Shanyin may be coming for King Gaoyang, what should the nobles of Great Wei do? ”

Feiyan looked at those noble girls, and then at her young lady, and snorted coldly:

"Whew! Don't say anything about the county lord and young lady, even if it is Princess Khotan and Princess Liu Song, how can King Gaoyang look down on them. ”

"Flying geese." Fei Hong lowered his voice and gently tugged at Fei Yan's sleeve, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

"His Royal Highness King Gaoyang doesn't even look down on the princess, and we, the slaves and maids, don't even have a chance to be His Highness's rough maids." Yutong is not without a lost road.

"That's right, born as a slave, don't be delusional." Wei Wan muttered.

"You know the anecdote of King Gaoyang very well." Gu Qingcheng said lightly, "They are still flocking to them one by one." ”

There are inexplicable emotions in my heart that have wandered inadvertently.

"Miss Gu, the eldest grandson of the Emperor is a dragon and phoenix among extraordinary people, just ask which woman in the world is not dreaming of such a wishful man." Wei Wan's face was shy, obviously she was also one of the admirers.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and secretly scolded Tuoba in his heart:

Tuoba, you bastard, look at you everywhere to attract flowers and butterflies, not only to provoke the princesses of the north and south, but even the palace maids are hooked by you one by one!

There were a few palace maids who looked at King Gaoyang in the distance stupidly, and one of them said with a spring heart:

"We, the palace maids with low status, if we are lucky enough to be the maids of King Gaoyang, we will already climb the branches."

"Girl?" Gu Qingcheng blushed and said in a low voice.

"In broad daylight, what spring dreams do you make." Wei Juan hurriedly let them work, "Hurry up, work!" ”

Gu Qingcheng said in his heart: What is so great about King Gaoyang, it is worth so many women to be crazy about him.

Li Shuang'er's program after the dance should be Gu Chuyao, Gu Chuyao's foot was injured and he couldn't come to dance, so it had already been canceled.

The celebrant read it out again, and then Princess Kamiya danced.

Princess Shanggu suddenly had a bitter face, and said to the old ancestor and Tuoba Tao very guiltily:

"Old Ancestor, Father, Ling'er was originally going to dance for Old Ancestor.

But yesterday, Ling'er kicked the shuttlecock and accidentally sprained her foot, and wanted to dance for her ancestors, but she couldn't. ”

“…… Since Ling'er is injured, there is no need to jump. When your feet are healed, you can dance to your ancestors, which is the same filial piety. Tuoba Tao said dotingly.

"Father, you send Gu Qingcheng and let her jump for her son." Princess Upper Valley Tuoba Lingdao.

"That girl in Allure?" Tuoba Tao frowned slightly, he didn't know if the girl would dance, "She, is she okay?" ”

Tuoba Ling sprinkled coquettishly:

"I heard that she is the doll of the Eighth Emperor Brother, although she can play the piano, if she can't even dance, how can she enter the Nan'an Palace.

Ling'er wants to see what qualifications she has to become the princess of the Eighth Emperor Brother. ”

"Princess Shanggu, Gu Tingcheng is a girl who grew up in the countryside, although she has studied the piano with Feng Zuo Zhaoyi for a period of time, and she has grown a little, but how can she dance, don't be embarrassed for her?" Lu Zuo Zhaoyi immediately refused on behalf of Gu Chengcheng.

She had a slight taste of embarrassment, feeling that this doll in the countryside not only made her heart thorough, but also embarrassed her face, and she really wanted to withdraw from her relatives quickly, destroy her, and have nothing to do with her.

"Lu Niangniang, then Gu Qingcheng can't really be a country girl, and she can't even dance, right?" Princess Kamiya scoffed.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi looked embarrassed and smiled dryly.

At this time, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi smiled and said:

"Since the princess of Shanggu wants to replace her in Allure, even if Allure's dancing is mediocre, let her dance casually, and the right is to celebrate the birthday of the ancestor."

All the concubines looked at Feng Zuo Zhaoyi curiously.

"Could it be that Feng Zuo Zhaoyi taught you the trick of pressing the bottom of the box to that country girl again?" Lu Zuo Zhaoyi squinted at Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and snorted coldly.

The concubines also looked disdainful.

"Father, you can let Gu Qingcheng dance on behalf of Ling'er......" Princess Shanggu said again, she couldn't wait to see Gu Qingcheng make a fool of herself.

"Good...... Zong Ai, pass on Gu to come up to the city. When Tuoba Tao saw Feng Zuo Zhaoyi say this, he couldn't resist his baby princess.

So he asked the Zhongchang servant Zong Ai beside him to send someone to summon Gu Chengcheng to the imperial front.

When Gu Tingcheng heard that Xiao Huangmen was summoned, he said that His Majesty had summoned him, and this surprise was not trivial.

She had been covering her face before, avoiding the emperor, and had been hiding from Tuoba Yu and not revealing her identity, so she was inevitably suspected of deceiving Tuoba Yu.

And now there is a prince Liu Song, that entangled sister, she is even more afraid of seeing him.

But His Majesty called, and she couldn't help but go, so she went with her head bowed and with a hint of apprehension.

Gu Tingcheng was wearing a moon-white gauze skirt, and the hem of the shirt was embroidered with delicately colored folded branches and begonias and decorated with sparkling diamonds, which was elegant and pretty.

The temples are covered with cloud buns, decorated with ribbon tassels, and the tassels are swaying in the steps.

The long skirt and feet, step by step, step by step, walk in a curling manner. Bowing his head slightly, he walked to the front of the palace from the middle of the banquet.

Everywhere you go, people feel that the fragrance of peach blossoms is overflowing, like a peach blossom fairy floating in.

Tuoba Tao felt that there was a goddess in front of him.

When Tuoba Yu saw the familiar figure, he couldn't help frowning, trying to see the person's appearance clearly.

Liu Ziye, the prince of Liu Song, glanced around, although he didn't see Gu Qingcheng's face, looking at her beautiful and slender figure, he was already fascinated.

Xindao: I don't know what a person with such a good figure looks like, is there a chance that the divine doctor is beautiful?

Gu Qingcheng bowed his head and came to the front of the emperor, and knelt down and kowtowed far away from the emperor.

The mouth shouted: "Knock to your majesty, I wish your majesty all the peace." ”

Tuoba Yu's heart trembled, that figure, that voice, that peach blossom fragrance, how could it be Xue'er's voice?

"Allure is exempt, I don't summon me, why don't you come to accompany the ancestors, the ancestors are looking forward to you for a long time." Tuoba Tao looked at Gu Qingcheng dotingly and smiled.

Everyone felt that the conversation between the emperor and Gu Qingcheng was so familiar.

"Back to Your Majesty, Allure the city, just delayed outside." Gu Tingcheng bowed his head.

Then he still bowed his head and turned to the ancestor to kowtow and salute:

"Old Ancestor, wait a minute, I'm not so busy, Xiao Chengcheng will come back to accompany the old ancestor."

"Okay, good, thank you for your hard work." The old ancestor said happily.

"It's not hard for Xiaoqingcheng to be able to hold a birthday banquet for the ancestors, which is the honor of Xiaoqingcheng in this life." Gu Qingcheng said sincerely.

After Gu Tingcheng finished speaking, he lowered his head as much as possible, and took the opportunity to raise his sleeves to cover his face and ask the emperor:

"I don't know why Your Majesty summoned Allure?"

She deliberately stayed away from the emperor, and also covered her face by arching her sleeves, only hoping that the emperor and Tuoba Yu had better not see her.

If you can get past it, forget it.

"Bold, summoned by His Majesty, why don't you raise your head?" Zong Ai shouted.

Gu Qingcheng's head hung lower, and when the Emperor of the Heart Dao saw it, it would be fine, if he was seen by Tuoba Yu, he would not know how to face it.

Besides, there is the difficult Prince Liu Song.

"Grandpa Huang, Pi'er has seen her, she is an ugly monster, of course she doesn't dare to look up and see people!" Tuobapi, who was in the seat, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

"Pi'er, don't be rude!" Tuoba Pi's sick Ruliangdi beside him scolded his son in a low voice.

Tuoba Pi saw that his mother was angry, so he pouted and retracted.

"Ugly?"

The emperor and Tuoba Yu felt a wave of disappointment in their hearts for some reason.

It was Tuoba Han and Tuoba who were at the banquet who laughed thoughtfully.

"Joke!" The old ancestor angrily reprimanded Tuoba Pi, "A small thing that doesn't have long eyes, if the little city of mourning is ugly, there will be no beauty in the whole world!" ”

"I'm sorry, ancestor, it's Pi'er who is ignorant and rude." Ruliangdi not only scolded her son, but also apologized softly to her ancestors.

Tuoba Tao also rebuked Ru Liangdi dissatisfiedly: "When the prince is alive, he is arrogant and indulgent, and now that the prince is not here, is Ru Liangdi still a loving mother and a more defeated child?" ”

Although he was slightly disappointed that Gu Qingcheng was ugly, he was also annoyed by Tuoba Pi's disrespect for Gu Qingcheng.

It is already very unfortunate for a daughter's parents to be ugly, and Pi'er still ridiculed the girl in Allure in public like this, so how can she see people.

"It's the concubine's daughter-in-law who is negligent in discipline, and the concubine's daughter-in-law must discipline Pi'er well when she goes back." Ru Liangdi said honestly and fearfully.

Tuoba Pi saw that his mother was so aggrieved, and he was even more annoyed with Gu Allure.

Gritting his teeth, he snorted coldly in his heart: "Hmph! Ugly monster, see how the master will repair you in the future! ”
