Chapter 130: Spring Festival Banquet
Yu Lingmo watched the little woman show her face in the snow, and suddenly felt that the scenes in this world were not as beautiful as hers.
"Is the snow nice in previous years?" Ouyang Ningxin had enough of playing and ran to Yu Lingmo.
She found that she seemed to be living younger and younger, she used to be a calm and steady person, maybe it had something to do with the real age of this body!
"Not even a tenth of this year." Because, this year there is you.
Yu Lingmo looked at the person in front of him, and his heart was soft.
"Then I'm lucky to see such a beautiful snow scene in my first year!" Ouyang Ningxin smiled.
The two talked and laughed in the snow, adding a bit of vitality to this bleak winter.
Ye Han was in a place where the two of them couldn't see, looking at this scene, what a beautiful scene this was!
However, now he can only wish the two of them a long time, and he will continue to be alone!
"There is a banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow, do you want to go to it?" Yu Lingmo held the woman's hand and helped her ward off the cold.
Every year there is a grand banquet during the Spring Festival, when ambassadors from other two countries come to congratulate them, and their countries send envoys to the other two countries to send congratulatory gifts.
This is a habit that the Tianyuan Dynasty has been pertinencing, even if there are any contradictions between their countries, they will put aside their grievances first during the New Year, and this is also a good opportunity to ease the contradictions between countries.
"What's the fun?" Ouyang Ningxin's first thought was that there was something interesting.
"I guess there's a drama like that." He didn't know what was fun, although he was there in previous years, he had never paid much attention to it, and he thought it was too boring.
"It's good to watch the show!" Ouyang Ningxin was still interested in drama, so he decided to go to the palace banquet.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Ouyang Ningxin let all the subordinates in the mansion sit down to eat together, made a lot of sumptuous dishes, and on the last day of the year, there should be a good ending.
And Ye Han actually really had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with them in the royal mansion, but after eating, the person disappeared.
Ouyang Ningxin had long been accustomed to Ye Han coming and going without a trace, and he didn't ask too much.
In this winter's palace, although the weather is extremely cold, the lively atmosphere of the palace is better than the cold.
The banquet arrived quickly.
Ouyang Ningxin dressed up with the help of the maid, and dressed more festively, which made her whole person full of enthusiasm and vitality.
Ouyang Ningxin is not used to dressing so festively, but for a scene like a palace banquet, it is better to dress ceremoniously.
And Yu Lingmo was still dressed in a black robe, exuding a cold atmosphere at all times.
The two came to the palace in a carriage.
The atmosphere in the palace is very different from what it used to be, and the solemnity of the past is now full of lanterns, which are lavishly decorated and full of luxury.
When the banquet was ready, the two entered the main hall.
It was already full of civil and military officials, talking inside.
At this time, there may be misunderstandings among many people here, but at this moment, you must endure it no matter what.
Ouyang Ning looked at it and found that the crown prince and the prince Xuan were already sitting in their places.
The two seemed to be talking about something, King Xuan always smiled to give people a harmless feeling, and the prince was also laughing, but it always gave people a false feeling.
"King Ling is here!" When everyone saw the two people who walked in, it turned out to be King Ling and Princess Ling, who had appeared for a long time!
"I've seen the prince, the princess!" Hundreds of civil and military officials saluted one after another, saluting the prince, no need to kneel, just bend down.
"No courtesy." Yu Lingmo said lightly.
After that, everyone wanted to step forward to talk to Yu Lingmo, but because of his cold aura, they didn't dare to make a move.
And Yu Lingmo didn't talk to them anymore, and walked straight to the position and sat down.
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" King Xuan asked with a smile.
"It's fine." Still a light tone.
Yu Qixuan didn't feel embarrassed, and still maintained a gentle smile.
"Princess Ling hasn't seen you for a long time!" Yu Qixuan turned to Ouyang Ningxin.
Ouyang Ning greeted him in a regular manner: "I've seen the second prince, the second prince hasn't seen you for a long time." ”
The crown prince on the side also greeted them and shouted: "Third brother, third princess." ”
"Hmm." Yu Lingmo has an attitude towards everyone, lukewarm, even if the other party is the prince.
"I've seen the prince." Ouyang Ningxin was not too cold, and she would still abide by the etiquette that should be observed in the palace.
The prince seemed to be a little displeased because of Yu Lingmo's indifference to him, and did not respond to Ouyang Ningxin.
Ouyang Ningxin didn't care, he sat quietly next to Yu Lingmo after saying hello, but his ears were listening attentively to the topics discussed by the civil and military officials.
Some people were whispering about why King Ling had rarely appeared in recent times, and some people in the know were talking about what they knew at this time.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law! This way! The fifth prince happily greeted Ouyang Ningxin.
"Hey!" Ouyang Ningxin would smile at him.
"Third sister-in-law, you have become beautiful again!" Yu Haochen will say whatever he has, and his heart will be straightforward.
But when it comes to someone's ears, it's very uncomfortable.
"Huh?" Yu Lingmo looked at the five princes with fierce eyes.
"Three, third brother......" The fifth prince immediately shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak again.
Soon, a shrill voice came from outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
A bright figure walked in, walked to the dragon chair and sat down, revealing the breath of an emperor.
The crowd knelt down and saluted.
"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
"Everyone, love Qing Ping!" The emperor was in a good mood with a happy smile on his face.
"Emperor Xie!"
"Everyone, please take a seat!" The emperor waved his hand.
"Today is the first day of the new year, Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be formal, I drink with everyone!"
The emperor raised his glass, and raised it to the bottom.
"Happy New Year to the Emperor, I wish the Emperor a healthy dragon and long live the borderless!" The civil and military officials said New Year's greetings to the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, Long Yan was happy: "Okay!" Happy New Year to everyone! ”
Said that the whole audience toasted a glass of wine together.
"Next, I would like to invite two envoys from the Celestial Wolf Country and the Coastal Country!" The eunuch raised his voice and shouted.
Everyone looked out, and first saw a middle-aged man, leading the two assistants into the main hall.
There were several people in the back, among them, there was a woman dressed in a peculiar costume, which seemed to be the costume of the Primordial Country.
"The envoy of the Heavenly Wolf Country, Ah Chang, has seen the emperor!" This person came to the Heavenly Feather Country on behalf of the Heavenly Wolf Country to pay tribute.
"Excuse me!" The emperor raised his hand.
When foreign envoys go to other countries, they do not need to bow down, which is a form of respect for other countries.
"Ah Chang, on behalf of the Heavenly Wolf Country, hereby brings three hundred horses of fine silk, five boxes of jade jade, five thousand stones of rice and grain, and among them, there is also a jade Bodhisattva!"
Ah Chang said, and the guards brought up all the things, although there were only a few things, but there were a lot of them.
"Five thousand stone grains have been moved to the granary."
"Okay, the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom is really generous! Please take a seat! "The emperor is pleased, although the tribute is not very much, but it is better than nothing, among which five thousand stone rice grain is the most suitable for him.
After the envoy of Ah Chang took his seat, it was the turn of the envoy of the Primordial State.
Because there had been a conflict between Tianyu and Binhai before, the emperor was not so enthusiastic about the envoy of Binhai State, but he did not show dissatisfaction.
"Wu Bei, the envoy of the Binhai Country, has seen the emperor, and this is Wu Qi below."
"Okay, excuse me!" The emperor waved his hand.
This time, the envoy of the Binhai State was represented by Wu Bei, the prince of the Binhai State.
"The congratulatory gifts for this tribute include a pair of jade Ruyi, 400 pieces of cloth, 10,000 stones of grain, five boxes of pearl necklaces, and 10,000 taels of gold." Wu Bei said with some pride.
These congratulatory gifts are indeed much more than those of the Heavenly Wolf Country.
"Okay, I didn't expect the Binhai Kingdom to be so sincere, not to mention the items to be tributed, the second prince and princess came to act as envoys in person, it is really an honor for the Tianyu Kingdom, it is very rare!" The emperor pretended to be happy and said, but in his heart he was guessing what the king of the coastal country wanted to fight.
How rare can he be for a tribute with bad intentions!
"Your Majesty, Wubei is here to apologize to Tianyu on behalf of the Binhai Kingdom, the war provoked before was really unintentional, all because some border people wanted to rebel and mislead the two countries to provoke a war, and I hope that the emperor can ignore the past suspicions." Wu Bei said honestly.
"Oh?" The emperor didn't expect Wubei to come out like this, you know, this coastal country has always been arrogant, and at this time he actually took the initiative to bow his head and admit his mistakes, which made him a little unable to see clearly.
"Since it is ignorant and disruptive, how can it destroy the friendly exchanges between us!" The emperor generously chose not to care.
"That's great, thank you for not caring about it!" Wu Bei paused and continued: "In order to express the sincerity of our coastal country, my father specially sent Princess Wu Qi over to make peace!" ”
Wu Qi was named and stepped forward: "Wu Qi has seen the emperor!" ”
The emperor looked at Wu Qi, who was a Peugeot beauty.
"Raise your head and show me!" The emperor looked directly at Wu Qi.
With a smile on his face, Wu Qi calmly raised his head, facing the emperor's fierce eyes, without any stage fright.
"Yes, yes, she is a woman of courage, I appreciate it very much!" The emperor praised.
"It's just that you have wronged Princess Wuqi by letting you marry me, so let's do it, the princess can choose one of these princes of mine, and I will make the decision for you!" The emperor pushed people to his sons.
He doesn't want to accept any more concubines, no matter how many women in the harem are, they can't replace Xiao Lan in his heart, maybe it's still a scourge if he accepts it.
It's better to put people in the courtyard of your son, so that you won't be bothered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Qi looked at the emperor gratefully.
Then his eyes looked at the princes, first at the crown prince, then at King Xuan, and then at King Chen, his eyes stayed on Yu Lingmo.
Then his eyes looked at the princes, first at the crown prince, then at King Xuan, and then at King Chen, his eyes stayed on Yu Lingmo.
The cold aura around him deeply attracted her attention.
