Chapter XXVII. Preface

At the banquet of Rencheng Palace, the children of the nobles invited to Pingcheng dressed up and traveled in carriages.

On the main road, the carriage drove back and forth to the palace.

The entire people of Pingcheng know and know everything.

Ordinary people can only watch the bustle on both sides of the street.

At the gate of Rencheng Wang's Mansion, the chief of the house kept welcoming the arrival of the children of each family, and the slaves and maids in the house kept receiving the birthday gifts.

For the security of this banquet, Tuoba Cheng, the king of Rencheng, sent the army of the city patrol battalion to stand at the gate of the palace, which was magnificent and strong. Gao Shouwen, as the leader of this patrol army, wore a velvet suit and a sword at his waist, and stood straight at the door to inspect every guest who entered the palace.

He had to make sure the palace was safe.

Li Chong's son, Li Sheng, rode to the scene, and after dismounting at the door, the servants in the palace immediately stepped forward to lead the horse, and he smiled at Gao Shouwen and walked straight in.

Shang Shuyoucheng's son Li Zilang and daughter Li Minxin got down from the luxurious carriage, and after saying hello to Tuoba Xuan, the son of King Rencheng who greeted the guests at the door, they also entered the mansion one after another.

Nangong Ni in the Yuelou was invited by Tuoba Xuan to come to the banquet to present a song, Nangong Ni dressed up and got down from the carriage in red clothes.

When Tuoba Xuan saw it, he personally approached and greeted him with a smile on his face.

With Nangong Ni's carriage, the other carriage was very ordinary, and it was Bai Rui who got out of the carriage, and his carriage was simply worlds different from others.

However, when he walked up, Tuoba Xuan put Nangong Ni aside and stepped forward to greet him.

Tuoba Xuan bowed to Bai Rui, "If Mr. Bai can come, my mother must be very happy." He hurriedly greeted Bai Rui directly in the posture of please.

Tuoba Xuan was so respectful to Bai Rui because a few years ago, Princess Rencheng suddenly fell ill when she was out playing, and Bai Rui, who happened to pass by, was cured.

Princess Rencheng learned that Bai Rui was a Langzhong who was in the rivers and lakes, and his medical skills were superb, so she was very grateful.

That year, Bai Rui personally sent Princess Rencheng back to his house, and was warmly entertained by King Rencheng, and the entire Rencheng Palace's people knew him.

It's just that Bai Rui often travels the rivers and lakes, and he has very little time in Pingcheng, and this time he can just catch up with Princess Rencheng's birthday banquet, Princess Rencheng must be very happy.

Nangong Ni didn't wait for Bai Rui to approach, so she walked into the palace with the maid holding the qin first.

The two of them did not appear to be familiar, and to outsiders, the two may just know each other, but they are not familiar with each other.

Tuoba Xuan took Bai Rui to see his mother in person, and when he came out of his mother's concubine, he heard a report from the servants that Princess Pengcheng and King Xianyang were coming.

Tuoba Xuan hurried to the gate of the mansion again, and when he saw that Yingyu was particularly beautiful today, he couldn't help but praise, "The women at today's banquet must not be as beautiful as Yingyu." ”

Princess Pengcheng smiled shyly, "Brother Xuan, you're joking with Yingyu again." ”

But when the daughters of the Gao Mansion came, Yingyu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Her eyes kept on the silver-white woman walking on the side of the crowd.

Yingyu knew her, and that day outside Ji Yu's brother's mansion, she saw the woman standing on the street and staring at the Beihai Palace, and she felt very curious at that time.

That day, after Ji Yu's brother heard her words, he ran out in person, and she knew that the relationship between that woman and Ji Yu's brother must not be simple. It's just that when Ji Yu came back later, she asked who it was, but Ji Yu didn't answer her.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

I had never been to such a banquet, but when the king of the city came to invite me, my father could not ask for it, and my father gave an order that he must go.

I don't want to go, but when I think of Princess Rencheng's birthday banquet, maybe the King of Beihai will also go, so I might be able to meet.

After Yinglin dressed me carefully, I still had to follow.

As soon as I walked out of the house, You Ran appeared in front of me, and he bowed before me, saying that he would go together to protect me.

I was a little surprised that You Ran suddenly appeared, he didn't know where he had gone these days, but he suddenly came back and wanted to protect me.

I was about to ask him where he had gone, but my brother came to urge me. I had no choice but to let him go, let him get up, and let him go.

Gao Li and I went to the palace together, and the two of us sat in the car together, driving outside.

Gao Xian rode outside and followed behind the car.

Gao Li deliberately dressed up today, and wiped his face with rouge and gouache. Today, she didn't even deliberately mock me for anything, but was smiling and pondering something.

It seems that such a banquet must be something that Gao Li can't ask for, and everyone who is in a good mood forgets to mock me a few words.

After entering the palace, I looked for the figure of the King of the North Sea.

The royal banquet has not officially begun, and the children of each family move around at will.

There were a lot of tables in the garden, there were plenty of fruit snacks for the guests, and some women gathered around to eat tea and chat, and I was so strange to these people that I had nothing to say to them, I just walked around the neighborhood.

I saw that the eldest sister Gao Li was chatting with a woman in a lake blue dress, and she was very happy, covering her mouth and smiling from time to time. The woman's figure was slender, and her white face had a pair of dark jade-like eyes, which became more and more beautiful, like a hibiscus out of the water, standing there, graceful like a fairy.

It's a little more beautiful than Gao Li, and among all the women I've just seen, it's the most beautiful one.

What a wonderful person! I sighed.

As I was looking at the woman faintly, I suddenly saw a crowd of people walking not far away. I looked up and saw several men in gorgeous brocade robes approaching one after another, and among them was him, the king of the North Sea.

He was dressed in a silver-white brocade robe, the brightest of all the men. I stood silently, just watching quietly, not with a slight snort like the other women.

Those young men are all royalty and nobles, all handsome.

I heard that there are King Guangling, King Xianyang, and several royal relatives and nobles.

Ji Yu didn't see me, maybe it was the figures of those women who blocked me, but I could see him clearly. As the King of the North Sea passed by Gao Li and the woman, I clearly saw him glance at the woman, and the woman bowed to him, "Your Royal Highness the King of the North Sea." ”

I could tell from his eyes that he knew the woman. From the woman's eyes, with the feeling of a woman, I noticed that she had a love for the King of the North Sea.

My heart shook slightly, and my eyes grew colder. I didn't think about it, the king of Beihai has never seen me, is it because she has someone in his heart?

It's just that this woman is not the person in the painting that I saw in the Dream Immortal Residence.

And who is this woman?

I took a step forward, touched a woman in front of me, and asked her, "Who is the woman in the blue dress who was talking to the King of the North Sea just now?" ”

The woman next to me glanced at me, and I didn't know if she knew me, so she replied to me anyway, "That's Li Minxin, the daughter of Shangshu Youcheng." ”

Li Minxin.

As soon as I heard this name, I suddenly remembered what Zilan said two years ago, I had a holiday with this Li Minxin, and I pushed her into the water, causing her to be unable to get out of bed for half a month.

I should know her, and she should know me.

But I can't remember her at this point.

Before coming to the palace, I heard the slaves and maids in the palace say that this time the princess of Rencheng let so many young ladies attend the birthday banquet in order to match those wealthy and noble unmarried men.

When I heard this, I understood that this birthday banquet was actually a marriage banquet with a red thread.

So, will Ji Yu also have this mentality and want to meet other girls?

Or did he just come to see Li Minxin, with the same thoughts as me, to come to see him?

However, I saw that he didn't say anything to Li Minxin, but saw him look directly at Gao Li.

His eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Gao Li, and I had a slight incomprehensible feeling.

Gao Li was also stunned when he looked at him.

Do they know each other?

I was confused and a little sad.

But the elongated figure walked through the crowd and into the pavilion. My eyes followed the figure of the King of the North Sea until he reached the pavilion.

I came back to my senses and turned my eyes to the beautiful appearance of Li Minxin again, her eyes were full of joy and excitement, maybe it was because she was happy to see the King of the North Sea.

I visibly began to feel lonely on my face and walked silently to the side.

I heard that Nangong Ni is also here, Gao Xian has long been gone, so he must go to find Nangong Ni.

I came alone to the quiet pond on the side of Rencheng Wang's Mansion, looking at the water in a daze.

I don't know how long I stood there, but someone behind me tapped me on the shoulder, and I suddenly came back to my senses and turned around.

Another girl in a gorgeous dress stood in front of me, looking at me with puzzled eyes.

"Miss, who is?" I asked her calmly, I don't remember the woman in front of me. I don't know if I knew each other before.

The woman's gaze slowly fell on my face, and after looking me up and down, she smiled in a low voice and said, "I have seen you, at the gate of my seventh brother's mansion."

"Who is your seventh brother?" I was so confused by her words that I didn't remember anyone in my head.

Seeing that I was at a loss, she smiled and said, "King of Beihai, didn't you stand at the gate of the Beihai King's Mansion some time ago and stand for an hour, didn't you?"

Hearing her say that the king of the North Sea is also called the seventh brother, then she should be a princess. After thinking about it, I hurriedly bowed. "The courtier Gao Zhaorong has seen the princess."

She smiled slightly, excuse me. He also said politely: "Princess Pengcheng of this palace, her name is Yingyu."

I saluted again, and I really looked at the princess for being so polite to me, and really looked at her differently.

Princess Pengcheng approached me, blinked and asked, "Hey, you stood outside my Seventh Brother's Mansion that day, looking at it all the time, what are you looking at?"

I really didn't know how to answer her question, and I was a little hesitant.

She suddenly smiled when she was calm and said, "I know, you like my seventh brother, don't you?" It's as if any woman in this Pingcheng has admiration for my seventh brother. ”

I twitched in the face, was it so obvious that day? I was embarrassed, and I didn't want anyone to know. It was my fault that day, I shouldn't have stood at the gate of the Beihai Mansion so casually. Really, I don't know how many people saw it that day.

Princess Pengcheng smiled again and said, "Okay, I know, it's good that you like my seventh brother, he doesn't have a princess yet, so he should take a concubine."

I pursed my lips and smiled, and suddenly I felt like I liked her very much, and I felt that she was very close. Did she really say the central thing? Do I really like the King of the North Sea?
