During the birthday banquet of the Southern Qin Emperor, envoys from the three kingdoms visited, and in order to ensure their safety, the whole city of Kyoto was heavily guarded.

At this time, such a rampant thing happened in Kyoto, and although I didn't know who the other party was, I guessed that the other party wanted to provoke relations between the two countries.

The Southern Qin Emperor was furious and ordered the whole city to search for suspicious assassins, and it was better to kill a thousand in vain than to indulge in one person.

The people in Kyoto City are panicked, and the city gate is guarded by special personnel, who can only enter but not leave, and those who pass by must go through strict screening and interrogation. In the city, the guards took turns patrolling, and when they saw suspicious people, they immediately stepped forward to interrogate and arrest them according to the situation.

When the crown prince of Beihai encountered such a thing in the territory of Southern Qin, the Southern Qin Emperor personally held a banquet to explain the matter to Beicheng'an, and said that he would find out the matter as soon as possible and give an explanation to Beihai and the prince of Beihai.

Regarding the fact that the maidservant of the Beihai Kingdom saved Ye Wanruo in this incident, the Southern Qin Emperor also specially gave the treasure of the Southern Qin Kingdom, the Yeming Purple Pearl, to the Beihai Kingdom in order to express his gratitude, and at the same time implied the good of the two countries.

Bei Cheng'an was not ambiguous, but comforted the Southern Qin Emperor not to take this matter to heart, fortunately, the matter did not reach the point of no return, and the Beihai Kingdom categorically did not have a grudge against the Southern Qin State because of this.

Seeing that Northern Cheng'an was knowledgeable and gifted, Emperor Southern Qin was very comforted, and the two could be regarded as having a good conversation.

After the incident, Dong Zixuan never saw Yu Chi Jingyao again, and even if she went to the palace, she was told that the prince was not in the mansion.

At first, Dong Zixuan thought that Yu Chi Jingyao was deliberately avoiding her, but later learned that Yu Chi Jingyao was busy investigating the assassination of Bei Cheng'an, and ran to the princess's mansion when she was free the rest of the time, which made Dong Zixuan suddenly hostile to Ye Wanruo again, and resentment in her heart.

The shame by the Tongning River is still there, and now she is running to compete with her for Yu Chi Jingyao, which makes Dong Zixuan unable to pretend to turn a blind eye no matter what.

Xiao Xianxue's death made Ye Wanruo think a lot, it was too late to say sorry, if it wasn't for Xiao Xianxue blocking a fatal sword for her at a critical time, I'm afraid it would be her Ye Wanruo who stepped on the road to Huangquan at this time.

Ye Wanruo thought that if she died suddenly, if she regretted it, it would be that she didn't have time to say goodbye to Yu Chi Jingyao.

Some people, some things, and some emotions, it is very likely that once you let go, what you miss is a lifetime.

Ye Wanruo did agree to help Bei Cheng'an sit on the throne of king, but at the same time, Ye Wanruo did not intend to suppress her emotions anymore, even if she ended up empty and happy, at least they had each other.

She didn't want to go to the end, just like Xiao Xianxue, and used her life to make up for her regrets.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the birthday banquet of the Southern Qin Kingdom has arrived.

Through Yingxiang's narration, Ye Wanruo knew that in ancient times, the emperor's birthday was regarded as a festival.

Because of the birthday of the Southern Qin State, the whole country celebrates together, not only for the ministers to give a three-day holiday, no need to go to the early court, but also taboo blood, do not allow civil slaughter within three days, and the government prohibits the killing of prisoners. The Southern Qin State was not allowed to wear plain clothing, it must be brightly colored clothing, and the princes and officials also had to wear official uniforms according to the system.

In Kyoto Castle, the main official roads are decorated with colorful paintings and cloths, and there are songs and dances everywhere, and there is joy and peace. The civil and military officials of the local government outside the city of Kyoto also set up incense sticks and made a big salute in the direction of Kyoto to congratulate the emperor on his long life.

The birthday banquet was held in the Taihe Palace, in addition to the princes of the other three countries, there were also ministers and their families who would come here to congratulate the Southern Qin Emperor on his birthday.

The gorgeous pavilion of the Taihe Hall is surrounded by the water of Taihe Lake, and the duckweed is all over the ground, green and clear. The palace is still in an antique style, with a golden roof and a red door, and a sense of solemnity arises spontaneously. The two dragons on the cornice, with golden scales and golden armor, are vivid, as if they want to fly into the air.

Around the lake, the ancient trees are towering, the green trees are shady, the red flowers and green grass are extraordinarily enchanting.

At this time, on the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon in the hall, there was the Southern Qin Emperor who looked down on the world, and the corners of his mouth always hung a warm smile, but the majesty he exuded should not be underestimated.

Accompanying the Southern Qin Emperor was, of course, the now beloved concubine, wearing a light blue brocade dress, embroidered with crimson plum blossoms on the skirt, and a white brocade belt tightly bound the slender waist.

Three thousand green silk was curled into a wishful bun at the back of the head, and a plum blossom white hosta was inserted with the skirt. Simple and fresh and elegant, the face is thinly powdered, and the white jade hairpin is inserted after the wishful bun, and the thin silver wire beaded tassel is embellished. The skin is like condensation, and the air is like a quiet orchid. Coquettish and boneless. The corners of his mouth are always raised, his demeanor is generous and decent, and he has obviously broken free from the pain of losing his child.

Amber wine, jasper, golden foot bottles, jade plates, the palace maids shuttled quickly and methodically, and after a while, the jade table in front of them was full of all kinds of delicacies.

Ye Wanruo once saw such a report, saying that at the Golden Dragon Birthday Banquet to entertain the ministers, there were 20 hot dishes, 20 cold dishes, 4 soup dishes, 4 side dishes, 4 fresh fruits, 28 melons and fruits, candied fruits, and 29 pasta dishes such as dim sum, cakes, and cakes, totaling one hundred and nine products.

Looking at the dishes on the jade table in front of her, such as chicken, duck, goose, pig, deer, sheep, etc., supplemented by bird's nest, mushrooms, etc., Ye Wanruo's taste suddenly increased greatly, and she couldn't wait to taste the food.

I finally understood in my heart, why so many people want to compete for imperial power, in Ye Wanruo's opinion, just talking about this mouth-watering delicacy is impossible to refuse.

Look at the main hall again, singing and dancing are leveling, and clothes and skirts are fluttering; The bell rings and the chime is struck, and the music is melodious. The sandalwood burning in the incense burner was smoky. The deep palace, the erosion and drunkenness of gold, the decay of human nature is vividly demonstrated. Ye Wanruo never thought that one day she would sit on top of this hall and become one of them.

Looking at today's Ye Wanruo, the purple rolling yarn plain snow silk cloud-shaped thousand-water skirt is exposed, revealing a white and delicate neck like beautiful jade, half of the long hair of Moyu is loosely rolled into a Hanyan hibiscus bun, with jasper swaying on it, and the other half is draped behind her head, with tassels on her ears, and tassels fluttering with Ye Wanruo's movements.

There is a small sapphire hanging from the center of the eyebrow, slightly powdered, but it is incredibly beautiful.

Ye Wanruo, who had never seen such meticulous makeup, was more beautiful at this time than Bing Qingyujie without makeup, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Eyes crossed the swaying figure on the dance floor, Dong Zixuan's gloomy eyes had been hovering on Ye Wanruo, looking at Yu Chi Jingyao's eyes locked on Ye Wanruo's body, Dong Zixuan was even more arrogant and straightened her chest, but Yu Chi Jingyao's eyes still did not glance at her for more than half a point.

Yu Chi Jingyao's disdain made Dong Zixuan's self-esteem and sense of superiority hit strongly, and I saw her holding a wine glass in her hand and constantly pouring it into her mouth, as if only in this way could her cold heart be relieved.

But at this moment, an arm stretched out horizontally, blocking Dong Zixuan's movements, and said in a deep voice in her ear: "Drink less, and don't look at what the occasion is today?" If anything goes wrong again, when the time comes, in front of my father, my mother and I won't be able to protect you! ”

Dong Yuwen's reminder made Dong Zixuan's expression flash a touch of impatience, stopped the arm in front of him, poured the wine in the cup directly, and said coldly: "Why since you met Ye Wanruo that day, brother, you only criticize me?" Don't pamper me as much as you used to? Could it be that my brother was also fascinated by Ye Wanruo's fox spirit? ”

Dong Zixuan's aggrieved expression was fully revealed, because her voice was not deliberately lowered, so that the other people sitting around her glanced in the direction where she was looking thoughtfully.

"How many times have you been told? Don't talk nonsense, do you think this is the country of Dongyue? More and more unruly! ”

Seeing this, Dong Yuwen deliberately lowered his voice again, and sharply accused Dong Zixuan, completely ignoring her aggrieved look.

didn't notice that when Dong Zixuan looked at Ye Wanruo's eyes, she was a little more gloomy.

At this moment, the music stopped, and the swaying dances on the dance floor also slowly retreated towards the body of the Southern Qin Emperor.

Bei Cheng'an came out of his seat at this time, stepped forward with a gift list, handed it to De Zhengye, bowed to the Southern Qin Emperor, and said loudly: "Beihai Bei Cheng'an congratulated the emperor on his father's birthday, wishing the emperor a long life, in addition to the tribute on the gift list, Cheng'an was also specially entrusted by his father to bring the rare treasure of Beihai to the emperor - Ping An Jade Ruyi, I wish the Southern Qin Kingdom and Beihai Kingdom, the two countries will always cultivate a hundred years of good!" ”

After speaking, he kowtowed to the Southern Qin Emperor with great piety.

"Good! Good! Good! Cheng'an hurry up, there is no need for so many courtesies, the good of the four countries to cultivate for a hundred years is the legacy of the ancestors, and everyone in the world must abide by it, and so is I. After Cheng'an returns, he can convey my heart to Beihai Jun, and all the oaths are confirmed! ”

Emperor Nanqin said three good words in a row to express his happy mood at this time and make a reassuring promise.

Not only Bei Cheng'an, but even the princes of the other two countries were all happy, only to see North Cheng'an kowtow to the Southern Qin Emperor on the golden lacquer carved dragon throne again and thank: "Cheng'an remembers the emperor's words, and he will definitely convey it truthfully when he goes back, thank the emperor!" ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed again and thanked him, and stood up politely.

At this moment, several strong men walked in outside the door of the palace, carrying a box more than two people high, and when they were a few steps away from Bei Cheng'an, Bei Cheng'an commanded a few people to stop and bow slightly towards the Southern Qin Emperor again.

Nan Qinhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, nodded, and made a gesture of please, and Bei Cheng'an walked towards the huge box, skillfully untied the rope lock, and opened the box, showing the so-called peace jade Ruyi inside.

Under the reflection of the light, the whole body of the green jade color is clear, and the green jade color is evenly distributed, and you can know that it is a good jade at a glance. It seems that in order to win the favor of Emperor Nanqin, Beihai Jun also poured out his blood this time.

In the field, when the ministers saw this jade, they looked at each other and nodded in praise, and even the Southern Qin Emperor was overjoyed when he saw this jade, and laughed loudly.

"Beihai-kun has a heart, I am very satisfied, and I would like to express my gratitude to your father on my behalf!"

Emperor Nanqin smiled and opened his mouth to Bei Cheng'an, but Bei Cheng'an still lowered his eyebrows and replied humbly: "The emperor's love is the blessing of his ministers, and Cheng'an will truthfully convey it!" ”

Seeing this, Emperor Nan Qin nodded with satisfaction.

De Zhengye sent someone to receive it and carried the peace jade Ruyi down again.

After Bei Cheng'an took a seat, it was the prince of Xilin Kingdom who came out again - Xi Hanbo, and the birthday gift brought by Xi Hanbo was a pair of embroidered girls with pearl money, by a hundred virgins, after 7749 days, sewn out of the Wanfu map.

Compared with the preparation of Beihai Country with ulterior motives, the gift of Xilin Kingdom was slightly overshadowed, but it also took a lot of thought, and Emperor Nanqin still smiled and asked De Zhengye to accept it.

It's just that before Xi Hanbo sat down, Dong Zixuan had already walked out of the seat one step ahead of Dong Yuwen, ignoring Dong Yuwen's warning look, Dong Zixuan glanced at Ye Wanruo's eyes with a bit of hostility, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer.
