"Sit down. Under the New Year, don't toss. ”

The emperor glanced at everyone in the hall, and watched everyone bow their heads one by one, and he withdrew his eyes with satisfaction.

Although his voice was not loud, he said this very majestically, and everyone got up from the bright marble floor, and they didn't even dare to make a move.

The emperor spoke, and everyone naturally had to obey. Besides, it's always unpleasant to kneel and stand at the same time. Cai Wei is not used to kneeling, it has been a moment since she knelt on the ground, after all, the cold floor tiles are no better than the warm kang head, whose knees are made of flesh and blood, she can't stand the first one, she secretly gritted her teeth and endured it.

I didn't dare to stand up straight at this station, so I had to bow my head and bow my body, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Hearing the emperor's order, Cai Wei really followed Lu Ying to her seat like a dream.

It was a position near the door, and although Lu Ying was said to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, his position was only the third grade. It's not as high as Caiwei's level.

Of course, Cai Wei is just an honor given by the emperor, where is Lu Ying so powerful?

Naturally, their positions couldn't be too far forward, and after they sat down, Cai Wei secretly glanced at everyone.

The emperor sat in the middle, and next to him were the concubines.

On the left hand side is today's most favored imperial concubine Wang, she is dressed in a graceful and luxurious silver-red palace dress, with gold and silver on her head, and the golden step of the hairpin of Danfeng Chaoyang, the golden light is shining, bright and luxurious.

Now that the queen of the middle palace has been dead for many years, and the emperor has not been crowned queen again, this Wang family acts as an agent for the affairs of the six palaces, which is naturally extremely noble.

She is the biological mother of King Cheng Zhao Yu, so King Cheng dares to be fearless and dare to compete with the prince.

The concubine on the right hand side of the emperor is wearing a concubine dress, with low eyebrows and eyes, and a rose-red palace dress. However, she is not as bright and flamboyant as the imperial concubine Wang, and she is beautiful, but she is not obvious.

can sit next to the emperor, and it is estimated that the position is not low.

On both sides are five or six concubines in various palace costumes, and it seems that they are all titled. Those who can come to such an occasion are naturally the masters of each palace in the six houses.

The crown prince and the princess sat on the lower left, which was the highest among their peers.

Cai Wei looked at Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, her face was calm, her eyebrows were clear, and she should also be from a famous family.

Next to the crown prince is His Royal Highness King Cheng, because King Cheng does not have a concubine, so he sits alone at a table.

Further down are a few princes who are not old and have not yet been crowned kings, and the two of them fight for a table. These princes are only in their early teens, but they all have dignified faces, young and old, neither talking to each other, nor looking around, which shows that the rules of the heavenly family are very strict.

The first one on the right hand side on the opposite side is Princess Gu'an, she is not married, so she naturally sits alone at a table.

Then it was Princess Guling, but Princess Guling wore a black and heavy velvet hat with snow-white hair, and her face was veiled, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, but those eyes were shocking red.

She sat there very quietly, hanging her head, and didn't dare to look at people, not like Princess Gu'an, who was radiant and bright-eyed.

It turns out that Princess Guling can also come to such an occasion!

It is said that the emperor feels very sorry for this daughter, and has been hiding her in the harem, and few people have seen her true face, because of her, her grandfather's family was killed, but I didn't expect the emperor to let her come out to participate in the imperial banquet, aren't you afraid of the criticism of the subordinates?

I don't know if this was the case in the past?

Cai Wei glanced in the direction of Princess Guling, and was catching up with Princess Guling who was looking up. Although Princess Guling was still a little timid, her eyes were very gentle, and she just glanced at her hurriedly, and then staggered, like the innocent and moist eyes of a deer in the woods.

Cai Wei was shocked in her heart, it seemed that Princess Guling knew her. It seems that after she fell into the water and was rescued by Cai Wei that time, she was grateful. It's just that she has been in the deep palace for a long time and has never been in contact with outsiders, so she is still apprehensive in her heart.

After Cai Wei glanced at her, she also smiled at her, and quickly turned her eyes away, not deliberately staring at her, so as not to make Princess Guling feel any humble feeling in her heart.

"Did Princess Guling also attend the royal banquet in previous years?" She finally couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart and asked Lu Ying quietly.

Lu Ying also glanced at Princess Guling, and then whispered to her, "I didn't see Princess Guling come out in previous years, I don't know why she came out this year?" ”

Lu Ying obviously didn't understand what the emperor meant, anyway, this was his daughter, whether he let her out or not, he had no room for beak.

Besides, Princess Guling is just sick, and she is not an unsightly monster, so why hide it?

It didn't hurt her to be able to come out and attend such an occasion.

The princes and princesses are all court officials and family members above the third grade. As for those brothers and sisters of the emperor's generation, the princes are naturally in fiefdoms, and they can't enter Beijing without being called.

Cai Wei looked at all the people in the hall, and under Lu Ying's guidance, she also remembered some people a little.

In such a spacious hall, thirty or forty long tables were placed, and the whole hall was crowded together.

It's just that the emperor didn't speak, and the big guy only dared to look at the desktop in front of him in a daze, and no one dared to speak.

"Let's get started." The emperor obviously didn't like such a dead atmosphere, so he first held the golden cup in front of him and smiled at everyone, "Flying snow welcomes spring, and wind and rain send spring back." It's another year of the New Year, and it's snowing heavily, the big guys are usually busy with government affairs, and they've been tired for a year. “

As he said this, he threw up the wine in the marigold, and dried his neck. After that, he flashed the marigold at the big guy and laughed, "It's all done, don't hide it." ”

Everyone saw that the emperor was happy, and they all picked up their wine glasses, and an old minister stood up and said auspicious words, "Ruixue Zhaofeng Year." With this heavy snow, you can sleep with steamed buns next year. ”

"Haha, what Lin Aiqing said is true!" The emperor was in a good mood and raised his hand at the old minister, and the old minister surnamed Lin tilted his neck and did it.

"Give Lin Aiqing a full load." The emperor laughed and ordered the palace maid who was waiting to pour wine.

The imperial concubine Wang on the side also picked up her golden cup, looked sideways at the emperor and smiled, "The concubines should also give a glass to the ladies." ”

"What should be done, Concubine Ai wants to let all the ladies drink well today. The adults in our court can work together to contribute to government affairs, and the ladies are also indispensable. ”

The imperial concubine Wang raised the golden cup to the ladies and said with a smile, "Come, ladies, let's have a toast too." ”

The ladies hurriedly picked up their wine glasses, stood up, and said one after another, "The courtiers respect the emperor and concubine!" ”

Seeing this, Cai Wei hurriedly picked up the silver cup in front of her and followed the ladies to make a glass of wine.

"Don't sit still, drink with all the ladies, don't drink the ladies tonight, but yours is not." The emperor pointed to a few concubines around him, half-jokingly confessing.

There were a few ladies with the status of an edict who joked with the emperor, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are too drunk to make a fool of themselves." ”

"Afraid of what?" The emperor waved his hand, very arrogant, "You have been doing housework all year round, and it is time to rest." I won't go to court tomorrow, so leave the housework to you men. ”

As soon as these words fell, all the ladies couldn't help laughing.

It was the first time Cai Wei had seen such a considerate emperor, and she couldn't help but smile so much that she held her mouth with a handkerchief, and she didn't dare to laugh too loudly with her shoulders shrunk.

Seeing her like this, Lu Ying also smiled and stuck to the root of her ear, "Hey, if you want to laugh, smile generously, just be afraid of this!" ”

"Where am I afraid? I'm afraid that I can't help but laugh too ugly, aren't you faceless? ”

Lu Ying couldn't cry or laugh, and poured a cup for Cai Wei with a pot.

Cai Wei just drank a glass of this wine, and found that the taste was good, sweet, with a fragrance of rice, obviously the best rice wine, at this time it was warm, and it became more and more unique.

Lu Ying wanted to take it for her, but she was afraid that the movement would be too big and attract the attention of others, so she had to wipe the corners of her mouth herself, stick to the root of her ear, and whisper to persuade, "Although this wine is delicious, it is better to drink less, don't be greedy!" This wine has a lot of stamina. ”

Cai Wei smiled and nodded, "I know, I won't embarrass you on such an occasion, don't worry." If you want to drink, let's go home and have a drink. Once drunk, you will rest. ”

Lu Ying couldn't help grinning when she heard these heroic words, his woman was really refreshing!

Princess Gu'an, who was on the other side, had been staring at his table, seeing that the two young couples were grinding their ears and temples, they were very affectionate, her little face was white, and her hands were twisting a silk embroidered handkerchief, eager to twist the handkerchief into a twist.

The crown prince Zhao Zhen on the opposite side obviously noticed his sister's strange appearance, couldn't help coughing a few times, and quietly reminded her that Princess Gu'an didn't know how to restrain at all, glared at him, no one looked at him, and there were only Lu Ying and his wife in his eyes.

The emperor soon noticed the movement of the children. His face was unhappy, and his eyes were very unkind when he looked at Princess Gu'an, his daughter was good at everything, but she was too arrogant and domineering, and she thought it was her own, so she had to get it.

But how can Lu Ying be able to control it?

Now Lu Ying is his right-hand man, he has already married a wife, and she is still staring at others like this, what will those courtiers say when they see it?

He thought for a while, picked up his golden cup, looked at Princess Gu'an and shouted, "Gu'an, what are you doing sitting in a daze, and you don't do it anymore?" ”

Princess Gu'an was so out of shape, the emperor couldn't help it, so he had to remind him loudly, so as not to let others see any clues.

After all, tonight is unusual, so many ministers are watching, and besides, the affairs of the heavenly family are the affairs of the world, Princess Gu'an is the eldest princess, and there is a little criticism outside, where will their royal face go?

Next to Lu Ying is the third prince of Tatar, and below Princess Guling is Princess Tosto, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has already seen what clues, seeing that the emperor is anxious to cover up Princess Gu'an's gaffe, he can't help but purse his lips and sneer.

The first time she saw Lu Ying, she was also shocked. Now that Lu Ying is intimate with Cai Wei, she doesn't feel good in her heart. But after all, she is a child of the grassland, and she is more arrogant in her heart after all, seeing this, she turned out from behind the table, knelt in the hall, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, drinking is too monotonous, I have an idea, I don't know if the emperor can adopt it?" ”

For the Tatar guests, the emperor naturally still gave her some face, and it was when she was in a good mood, so she couldn't help but ask happily, "I wonder if the princess has any good ideas?" Let's hear it. ”

"Your Majesty, your princesses are all beautiful, gentle, and versatile. The families of these ministers are also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even if it's a time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, it's better for everyone to show it, and it can be regarded as a celebration. ”

When the words fell, everyone looked at this princess of the outer domain, not knowing whether she really wanted everyone to celebrate the New Year, or if she had ulterior motives.

After all, everyone in this court has long been accustomed to conspiracy.

The emperor also paused, I don't know what this princess means?

"Since I brought it up, I have to go into battle myself. Please allow the emperor to let me change my clothes and dance a dance for everyone later, okay? ”

She said so, and if the emperor didn't agree, wouldn't it make the Tatars look down on her?

He nodded and said, "The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is all from my own family. The ladies have also been detained at home for a year, and while they have a coke tonight, it is better to come up with some unique work, which is fine. ”

The emperor has spoken, and all the ladies have to obey. Just listen to the whispers below, this is agreeing on what to do for a while, right?

Cai Wei secretly rejoiced, fortunately she had prepared something different in advance, otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with it.

On the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is sparse, and she is embarrassed when she doesn't take it out.

Princess Tosto went down to change her clothes first, and the emperor also asked Princess Gu'an to change her clothes and prepare.

Princess Gu'an's Wu Caiwei has seen it, and last time on the prince's birthday, she showed her hand.

Lu Ying saw Cai Wei staring at Princess Gu'an, thinking that she was panicked and scared, so she hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, no matter what you do, just go through the motions, I won't care." ”

Cai Wei knew that he was comforting herself, but she had never been the kind of person who was willing to move forward, and of course she didn't want to make a fool of herself.

She just replied lightly.

Princess Tosto changed her clothes and came in, and everyone's eyes were drawn to her.

She wears a silver-white tight-fitting dance suit. The upper body is bare-chested, with a few jade curls on the plump arms and wrists, and the lower body is a fishtail skirt with slits, revealing snow-white calves when you walk.

He still wears a silver bell on his ankle, and it makes a pleasant sound when he walks.

Everyone gasped, in the end, it was the children of the grassland, it was like this - sexy.

Cai Wei had already seen that the eyes of several men were glued to Princess Tosto. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Lu Ying, but saw that Lu Ying's eyes were empty and she looked straight ahead.

"Fortunately, Lu Ying is a gentleman!" Cai Wei patted her chest and thought to herself.

Princess Tosto danced a fast Hu Xuan dance, this is a long-lost dance, legend has it that Yang Guifei danced this dance back then, and then Middle-earth has not seen it again, I didn't expect this Princess Tosto to be?

Her dancing posture is vigorous and powerful, graceful and noble, and people are amazed to watch.

With the sonorous beat of the drums, Tosto's body became more and more agile and powerful, like a galloping wild horse, jumping endlessly.

At the end of the song, it was sonorous and passionate, and thunderous applause resounded in the hall.

It's time for Princess Gu'an to come on the stage, and there is a song and dance in the middle.

The singer was a woman of graceful figure, wearing a veil and revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes. She was surrounded by a number of courtesans.

The voice, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, was fresh and natural, tactful and melodious, and even Cai Wei's body was half crisp when she heard it, let alone a man.

"With such a beautiful voice, how did this woman come to be?" Cai Wei sighed with oil, wondering why this woman was wearing a veil? Is it because you want to cover it up, or is it so ugly that you can't see people?
