Chapter 85: Chinese New Year's Eve I (Palace Banquet)
In the twenty-sixth year of Emperor Tianwei, the harem was jubilant, and Chinese New Year's Eve came in the midst of firecrackers.
The ministers brought their families into the palace. In the Tianxi Hall of the harem, Tianwei Emperor held a palace banquet and bid farewell to the old and welcomed the new with the ministers and wives to spend the festival together.
Dugu Butterfly came with Princess Xin. After the two of them sat down in the designated seats, Emperor Tianwei led the palace concubines to the Tianxi Palace.
Emperor Tianwei was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walking in the front, Empress Sun and Emperor Tianwei side by side, behind them, followed by Concubine Yue, Concubine Min, and next, Concubine Mei and Concubine Wen. And then there's a nobleman or something.
Lin Miao'er came with the palace concubines. At this time, her lower abdomen bulged slightly, and her wide clothes could not cover her pregnant belly.
As she walked, her steps were slow, and from time to time, her hands kept stroking on her lower abdomen. It seems to be deliberately announcing something to everyone.
The joy of being a mother is fully displayed in Lin Miaoer's body. Princess Xin watched the young Lin Miao'er rub the hem of her clothes lightly, and her mouth couldn't help but pout. It seems to be an endless contempt for Lin Miaoer.
It's no wonder that Lin Miaoer is too young, it seems that she is not much older than Princess Xin.
For the so-called glory and wealth, she actually climbed the dragon couch of Emperor Tianwei, how can the reason for this be clear in one sentence or two?
"Hmph, what's the smugness." Princess Xin was so young that she couldn't help it, and couldn't help but sarcastically mock Lin Miaoer.
Lin Miao'er turned around and glanced directly at Princess Xin.
Dugu Dieyi stretched out her hand and pulled Princess Xin and asked her to meet her side by side.
Emperor Tianwei and the palace concubines sat down in turn according to their identities, and everyone knelt down to greet Emperor Tianwei and the palace concubines. Dugu Die followed the etiquette of Western Xia and invited him with the national gift of Western Xia.
After a while, Emperor Tianwei asked everyone to get up.
"Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve is a good day, and Shu is happy, so I want everyone to spend this wonderful night with Shu. Today, let's sing and dance, and get drunk. May the coming year be another year of good weather and good weather. ”
Emperor Tianwei made his opening speech sonorously and powerfully, and everyone raised their glasses and drank a cup with Emperor Tianwei.
Sitting opposite Dugu Butterfly is a group of princes. Coincidentally, Dugu Dieyi's seat was opposite Su Zimo's face. In front of everyone, Su Zimo's eyes were placed on Dugu Dieyi's body, and it was difficult to move away.
"Singing and dancing......" Gonggong Cao shouted in a thin voice.
All the palace ladies came in colorful clothes and dancing sleeves, and for a while, the silk music slowed down, and everyone drank and had fun, listened to songs and danced, and was so unhappy.
Su Zimo looked at Dugu Dieyi, as if he couldn't see enough, Dugu Dieyi glared at him fiercely. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and raised it at Dugu Die, the ambiguity in it was self-evident.
Concubine Mei sat on the high platform and clearly saw the code words of Su Zimo and Dugu Dieyi. There was a hint of a smile on her face after the makeup.
This pair of little children, this love is sweet and piercing.
Firecrackers sounded, many dancing girls formed a circle, and then, a gorgeously dressed, about twenty-eight years old, flew from not far away, her jade feet, lightly stepping on the shoulders of the dancers, dancing and dancing, as if the petrel in the forest as flexible.
Everyone couldn't help but applaud the woman, and the exclamation resounded in their ears.
Dugu Dieyi stared at this woman tightly, and the poison in her eyes instantly filled her eyes.
Even after this woman was dressed up, she still recognized it. She is Kang Zhenlong, the side concubine of King Duan. In the last life, she died at her hands, how could this hatred be easily eliminated.
Since the last time I met her, Dugu Die has been thinking about her all the time in her heart, but the time has not yet come, so I will put her for the time being.
Unexpectedly, she was so ignorant of current affairs, but she wanted to join in the excitement.
After seeing Kang Zhenlong's true face, everyone couldn't help but bow their hands to Duanwang, Kang Zhenlong's dance really added glory and color to Duanwang.
Princess Xin pursed her lips and said displeasedly, "Won't you be able to dance?" What's the big deal. Brother Duanwang is really not ashamed and ugly, and he even let his side concubine show up in such a revealing dress, and he still shows off like a baby. ”
Princess Xin's words are exactly what Dugu Die thinks in her heart.
King Duan asked Kang Zhenlong to dance at this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, although it was out of the limelight, but he also announced to everyone the origin of his side concubine.
Is a dancer in a dance workshop also worth showing off?
Dugu Dieyi suppressed the hatred in her heart and calmly ate the dishes on her table.
Empress Sun attached her lips to Emperor Tianwei's ear and said, "This is King Duan's side concubine, this dance is indeed good." ”
Emperor Tianwei nodded, "It's so good to dance, reward ......"
Gonggong Cao took out a pair of head jewelry, and chanted loudly: "The emperor appreciates a set of head jewelry for the princess's side concubine......"
Kang Zhenlong was so happy, she took small steps, stepped forward lightly, took the jewelry in the hands of Gonggong Cao, and thanked the saint.
That frivolity, her identity was revealed in an instant. has never seen the world, but it is just a reward that can make her happy like this, and the nobility in disguise cannot stand the test at all.
Princess Xin stuck out her tongue at Kang Zhenlong again.
"Sister Dugu, how do I think this side concubine of Brother Duanwang seems to be impetuous and powerful......" Princess Xin was so young that she could see it thoroughly.
Dugu Dieyi glanced at Duan Wang, who was intoxicated by the show, and said coldly: "Even if she makes her impetuous, what does it matter to us......"
Princess Xin stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Immediately afterwards, Zhonggong'e appeared again, and another tune sounded.
In the congratulatory voices of everyone, Emperor Tianwei frequently raised his glass, and several ladies waited for him.
Everyone looks like they should have a happy New Year.
Dugu Die didn't want to show herself on such an occasion. However, some people are not willing to let her sit here so mediocre.
Dugu Dieyi raised her eyes to look, but saw Kang Zhenlong, who had changed her clothes, and when she saw Dugu Dieyi, she instantly became affectionate.
"Duanwang's side concubine has seen the princess of Western Xia......"
Kang Zhenlong was slightly blessed and saluted Dugu Butterfly. Dugu Dieyi forced her displeasure, she got up, a slight blessing, and she didn't even want to say more to Kang Zhenlong.
Kang Zhenlong didn't seem to care about Dugu Dieyi's coldness at all, but saw that she said lightly: "Princess Xixia, the concubine has heard that the singing and dancing in the Xixia Palace is a must, the princess is noble, I don't know if there is any research on singing and dancing?" The concubine has always liked to sing and dance, and she wants to see the national customs of the Western Xia Kingdom. Would the princess be willing to do a little trick? ”
