Chapter Seventy-Three: The Palace Banquet
"Little second brother, you said that there are a lot of big people these days, but there are also missions from other countries?"
Xiao Er nodded, "Yes, of course there is, yesterday there was also a team of missions passing by in front of the door, which is said to be from the East Mu Kingdom." ”
Hey, if you want to say that the son of Dongmu, his appearance is really handsome, he rode a high-headed horse, wore a white shirt, shaved his face and eyebrows, passed by the door, I don't know how many Xiqi girls watched. That person is not inferior to our Eighth Prince of Xiqi. ”
White...... Peel your face and fly your eyebrows?
"Little second brother, who are you from Dongmu?"
"Oh, this is really inquiring, it is said that he is the prince of Dongmu Kingdom, what is it called...... Oh, yes, it's called Baili Tianqi. ”
My eyes shrank, and my heart suddenly swelled with blood.
Baili Tianqi, you really came to Xiqi!
"Childe, what's wrong with you, but what's wrong?" Xiao Er saw that my face was wrong, so he hurriedly asked.
I secretly let out a sigh of relief, suppressed the sweet blood in the middle of the room, and said slowly, "It's nothing, it's just a strong wind by the window." Little second brother, you continued, you said that there were three teams of missions, all of them are big shots, so do you know who the other team is. ”
Xiao Er replied, "Hey, guest officer, I really don't know about this." Unlike these two teams, the big man of that team sat in the chariot, and only knew that it was from the Middle Continent, and he no longer knew who it was. ”
Mid-Continent ......
The five countries of the Apocalypse, there are always disputes between the countries, but the middle continent neither has diplomatic relations with Linbang, nor does it take the initiative to be the enemy. Unexpectedly, they also came to ask for marriage......
At this time, the mission had already gone far along the official road, and Lu Zhu added vegetables, Xiao Er retreated, and after a while, a new dish was served.
The afternoon sun was thick, the dishes were full of color and aroma, and the aroma went straight to my nose, but I had no appetite.
Just three months after the destruction of the Feng family, Baili Tianqi led an envoy to Xiqi to ask for relatives.
I was really blind in my previous life, and I fell in love with such a ruthless person......
I let out a long sigh and squinted into the sun.
Baili Tianqi, as I said, if you want to fly into the sky as an eagle, I will cut off your wings. If you want to fly the dragon for nine days, I will gouge out your eyes.
Now Dongmu Zheng and Beili are fighting, although I don't know why they are fighting, but since you all come to Xiqi to ask for relatives, you must be bound to Princess Heshuo.
Those who have the princess have the backing, and your two missions will definitely fight hard.
Ha...... I really should be grateful to the Eighth Prince, if it wasn't for saving him by accident, he wouldn't have been given the title of county lord.
According to the rank, the county lord is subordinate to the emperor, and although I am a foreign surname, I can also participate in the emperor's banquet or important ceremonies.
It is a state affair for the mission to congratulate, and the envoy to ask for relatives belongs to the royal family, and if there is a banquet, the emperor will inevitably be present.
Baili Tianqi, I will help you......
I smiled slightly, picked up the cold tea on the table, and took a big sip.
"Miss, you...... You okay. Seeing that I was not the right color, Luzhu asked in a low voice.
I put down the teacup, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped the corners of my mouth a few times, and said, "It's okay, I'm done, let's check out." ”
"Yes." Green beads, hurry downstairs to settle the bill. I straightened my clothes a few times, then went downstairs, walked out of the restaurant, and paced slowly.
"Little boy?" After walking for a while, someone suddenly called me, I stopped and turned back, the person who called me was wearing the clothes of a small girl, his eyebrows and eyes were not outstanding, but he was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Seeing me turn around, the man was happy, "Little boy, it's really you, and the little one is afraid of recognizing the wrong person." ”
I looked him up and down and asked, "Are you?" ”
He was stunned for a moment and said, "Little boy, don't you remember the little one?" You forgot, that day was the Yuan Lantern Festival, and you and a few princes and ladies were in our teahouse to connect the lanterns! ”
Oh, such a reminder, I really remembered that day, he also helped to remember the couplet.
Oh...... "It turned out to be you." ”
Xiao Wule kept nodding, "It's me, Childe, it's really a coincidence, I'm worried that I can't find you, but I met you on the street." ”
"But what's the matter?" I asked.
He hurriedly nodded and said, "Little boy, but there is something." Yesterday evening, the son who came out of the union came, and when he saw your right lantern, he was silent. In the end, he looked at the last couplet, and his cheeks actually smiled, saying that several couplets were very good, and he wanted to give ten thousand gold to the person who made the couplet. ”
Oh, that's interesting.
Xiao Er continued, "However, the boy said that he wanted to meet the person who made the last couplet, and the little one also said that the person who came did not leave his name and address, and the boy said that the ten thousand gold should be given in person, and he will go to the teahouse for a few days in a row, and he will meet if he is fated." Not to mention, it's really fateful, you can still meet it on the street, it seems that this 10,000 gold belongs to the little boy. After saying that, he smiled.
He is right, I don't come out often, and it is not easy to meet you on the street in the vast crowd, but it is also a little interesting.
I nodded and said, "Thank you, little brother, in a few days, I'll go to the teahouse, Luzhu." ”
"Yes" Luzhu understood, took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to him, he immediately took it with a smile, nodded and said thank you, and then retreated.
It's just a small episode.,But it's not bad to get 10,000 gold.,The person who came out of the joint is also strange.,After doing it, the joint family improvised graffiti.,He actually thinks it's right.,It's good to see it.,I'm also curious about who it is.。
In the autumn of the afternoon, it was still a little cold, the men's clothes on my body were a little thin, and when the wind blew, it was still a little cold, so I quickened my pace, and after a while, I arrived at the General's Mansion.
The old butler was still waiting at the door, and when he saw me coming back, he hurried up to meet me, followed me not far behind, and sent me back to the courtyard.
A little tired, I asked my mother-in-law to prepare hot water, wash up, apply the ointment, and sink into the couch, when I opened my eyes, it was midnight.
I was a little thirsty, so I got up and poured a cup of tea, drank it and went back to sleep, and it was early in the morning.
Counting the days, today is also the day of the Blue Pavilion's vacation, and tomorrow, it is time to go back. When he suddenly disappeared that day, the masters must have been in a hurry, and when they go back tomorrow, they will inevitably ask questions.
After breakfast in the morning, I asked Luzhu to take a history book to me, sat in front of the window and looked through it slowly, when it was noon, I was sleepy, I took the book, let Luzhu cover the doors and windows, thinking about making up for a nap, just squinted, Luzhu hurried back, standing on the side of the couch and calling me gently.
"What's the matter?" I sat up.
"Miss, the eunuch in the palace came to deliver a message, saying that there was a palace banquet in Shenshi, so let Miss hurry over."
Is this coming? So fast.
"Miss, the slave maid will dress you up, it's almost time, and after a while, I'm afraid it's too late."
"Okay." I answered, got up and sat down in front of the bronze mirror. Lu Zhu hurriedly followed, took a corner comb to smooth my long hair, and then divided my hair into left and right halves, and began to carefully coil my sideburns.
Because it is a palace banquet and I am the newly given county lord, the hair ornaments and clothes naturally cannot be ambiguous.
The green beads raised my sideburns, knocked out the sideburns, picked a few ruby headdresses to decorate, and then inserted a gilded cloth on the side of my head. I flipped left and right, and found a set of bright dresses, and when I looked sideways, it was a narrow-sleeved Confucian skirt with an inch collar and pink that the man had given me.
I've gained a little weight recently, and I'm a little taller, and I just fit this dress, thinking about today's palace banquet, it's definitely too late to buy clothes now, so I don't care too much, and I turn around and put it on.
"Miss, you are so beautiful today" put on a dress, and put on a soft satin cloak, the green bead eyes were shocked, and he was sincerely admired.
I smiled slightly, in the eyes of this girl, there is no time when her young lady is not beautiful, even if she is thin as a big head
The bean sprouts are also beautiful.
However, today she really did not exaggerate.
Because it was the first time to participate in the palace banquet, the identity was also special, so I deliberately dressed up.
I drew my eyebrows, dotted my lips, and applied powder. The short hair with eyebrows covers the thin forehead, the chin is pointed, and the eyes are even more watery, just like a wang clear spring, smiling lightly, and the end is elegant and delicate.
I'll just say, Su Tianxue and Su Tianyue in the General's Mansion are both beauties, and this body is the same as the Su family, so it will not be too bad, but the body is too thin and too small, and after waiting for some time, it will definitely be different.
After packing up, it was already early time, the butler had already carried the carriage, I stepped on the footstool to get into the carriage, and with a snap of the horse, the carriage went in the direction of the palace.
You can't bring too much to enter the palace, the housekeeper naturally stays outside the palace, I stepped forward and signaled the waist card, and then took the green beads into the north gate. All the way, there is a small eunuch to lead, through the corridor and across the small bridge, this is to the banquet hall.
The palace banquet hall was naturally not small, I went a little late, the hall was already full, the eunuch led me to my place, and then retreated.
I am the lord of the opposite sex, located in the second row on the right, the first row is the prince and the princess, I looked up, the first row on the left is the first one, is a thin man, he wears a robe, tied with a golden crown, although he is sick, but between the eyebrows is a little heroic, this is the current prince.
The prince sat on the second prince of the smiling tiger, he was chatting with other princes left and right, and at once, it was the seventh prince and the eighth prince.
As if he felt that someone was paying attention, he raised his eyebrows and looked at it from afar, and saw that it was me, and swept away the playfulness of the past, and actually smiled.
Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
These eight princes are not good people.
