The Northern Desert Kingdom arranged them to rest in a very spacious and comfortable post house, Ling Dongwu was tired all the way, took a bath, ate, and fell asleep.

On the third night, Ling Dongwu was almost rested, Xia Wenxuan told her that the Northern Desert Kingdom would set up a dinner party to entertain them in the evening, Ling Dongwu sneered in his heart, the Southern Zhao Kingdom is basically a defeated country now, and there is also a dinner party to entertain them, which is basically a shameful banquet.

The banquet was set up in the Yanqing Hall in the Northern Desert Palace, Ling Dongwu and others walked to the Yanqing Hall under the leadership of the eunuchs, Ling Dongwu was afraid of the cold, but it was snowing heavily outside, and the entire Northern Desert Palace was shrouded in snow. After a heavy hanging flower gate and a long palace wall, I finally entered the Yanqing Hall next to the garden, the garden was already a white expanse, this Northern Desert aristocracy is really extravagant, Ling Dongwu couldn't help but sigh, it is a small bridge and flowing water, it looks like a Suzhou garden!

When Xia Wenxuan, Ling Dongwu and others arrived, most of the other important nobles in the Northern Desert had already arrived, and the customs of the Northern Desert were far more open than those in the Southern Zhao Kingdom, which could be seen from the banquet alone, because the people who participated in this banquet were not only the concubines of the harem, but also the important ministers of the court and their families. As the little eunuch Ling Dongwu and his party in the hall came to their seats, she watched this dinner carefully, and had to admire that the scene was really strong, a huge Yanqing hall, the table was placed from the hall to the outside of the hall, and then it was the previous dynasty.

Ling Dongwu knew that on an occasion like today, she would meet Xiao Haotian almost 100%, she looked around with her eyes, and there were a lot of concubines, but several big bosses such as the queen mother, the emperor and the queen had not yet come, and they did not see the shadows of Xiao Haotian, Zhou Ze and others.

The Yanqing Hall was noisy at this time, so it was not lively. Imperial relatives from the Northern Desert and nobles from various tribes gathered here, eagerly waiting for this high-level royal banquet. The men and women in the hall greeted and talked to each other, some pretended to smile and greet each other, some had ghosts in their hearts to win people's hearts, and some saw the wind and rudder to inquire about the wind, but more people focused their eyes and discussions on them, the envoys of Nanzhao.

"The one sitting at the top, handsome and luxurious, is the third prince of Nanzhao Kingdom!"

"Haha, Nanzhao people are really good-looking!"

"Well, look at the little brother sitting at the bottom, white and tender, pink, I want to go up and kiss a few bites!"

"Hmph, I don't like to look like this, like a girl-like Nanzhao man, I still like our Zhennan King to be as powerful and heroic, you have manliness!"

"Hahaha, I'm not ashamed, I have the courage to wait for the king of Zhennan to come, and you will say it in front of him!"

"Say it to your face, say it to your face, you think I don't dare!"

"King Zhennan won't do anything to you, that tigress in his family is going to hear it, and he won't kill you secretly!"

"It's strange to say, our King Zhennan is thirty-one years old after the New Year, why don't you see him marrying a wife, and there is only such an only child in the palace, and I haven't seen any children?"

"Hey, do you need to say this, there is Luo Yange's second lady here, who dares to be the eldest lady without some skills, I heard that Luo Yange punches and kicks the concubines in her house at every turn, and buys them in a brothel if they don't like it!"

"Then the king of Zhennan doesn't care about her!"

"I heard that the king of Zhennan has never been in charge of household affairs, and I have never heard that he has sheltered that concubine, but his princess surnamed Xia of Nanzhao Kingdom is a little favoritic!"

"It's not that the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom has the support of a small son, and the mother is expensive by her son!"

Ling Dongwu sat on the side, listening to the gossip of Xiao Haotian who was not shy away from the concubines of the Northern Desert, and heard that Xiao Haotian had a little son, and Princess Xia could be a mother and a child, I don't know why, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, he still had a child after all, and he still had someone he cared about after all!

The palace maids and eunuchs who were in and out of the fish were busy setting up refreshments and tableware, and when they were ready to start the banquet, "The king of Zhennan and his wife have arrived!" ”

"Ahh Xiao Haotian, the king of Zhennan, is here!! There was a sudden silence on the originally noisy feast, and everyone stood up respectfully.

Under everyone's attention, Xiao Haotian's tall figure appeared on the Yanqing Hall with a terrifying momentum that looked at everything, and in an instant, it seemed that the light between heaven and earth rushed over to surround him, he was as inviolable as a god, although he was deliberately restrained, but the natural king's aura was still circulating around him.

Ling Dongwu sighed secretly in his heart, it was no wonder that the Northern Desert Emperor had weakened his military power when he grew up like this!

Behind Xiao Haotian, followed by the well-dressed Luo Yange, she raised her head proudly and looked radiant. For today's banquet, she has made enough preparations, tailor-made clothes, jewelry, a big red dress, embroidered with a large golden peony, wide sleeves and waist, more and more delicate and toned figure, wearing a golden phoenix hairpin, with a thin gold chain around her neck, a thumb-sized ruby at the end, the same style of full gold ruby earrings, big red gold, and gorgeous makeup set off her like a noble and beautiful peacock.

And in order to distinguish identities, the pure Qingxiang, the bewitching Bo Erduo, and the dignified Xia Mingjin can only follow behind Luo Yange.

After Xiao Haotian sat down, he listened to the officials next to him who came up to curry favor with him, and looked around as if he had no intention of doing so.

Ling Dongwu was sure that Xiao Haotian had seen her, and when she looked at him, his clear and sharp gaze looked at her without any evasion, her heart was beating suddenly for no reason, as if she was about to pop out, but he didn't move his brows, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, he fiddled with the things on the table casually, and naturally looked away.

Seeing Xiao Haotian like this, Ling Dongwu was not surprised that he appeared in front of him, and she was sure that it was Xiao Haotian who made a ghost and let herself come to the Northern Desert, plus she heard those women's gossip about Xiao Haotian just now, she erased all the good things about Xiao Haotian in Dahuangshan and the past, and began to be wary of Xiao Haotian in her heart.

At this time, the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, and all the people in and outside the hall hurriedly stood up again respectfully, and for a time there was silence in the huge banquet. The emperor and the queen supported the queen mother into the hall left and right, followed by an incredibly beautiful woman, with a face like a full moon, eyebrows into the temples, apricot eyes, a nose like condensed fat, and a mouth like a cherry, like a fairy falling from the sky.

It's just that this beauty is a cold beauty, with a cold and graceful temperament, which makes people dare not get close, but it is rare that when she looks at Xiao Haotian, she actually smiles, like the sun that suddenly breaks through the dark clouds, emitting thousands of rays of light, instantly illuminating the entire Yanqing Palace.

Ling Dongwu was secretly surprised in his heart, the folk customs of the Northern Desert were opening up, and it wouldn't be like this, the emperor's concubine dared to openly seduce the foreign ministers! Xia Wenxuan seemed to see what was on her mind, approached her, and whispered: "This person is Xiao Haotian's sister, the favorite of the Northern Desert Emperor, Xiao Yingyue!" ”

Yes! It turned out that she was Xiao Haotian's younger sister, no wonder she was cold, from this point of view, these two brothers and sisters are really carved out of the same mold!

After these big bosses sit down, the dinner party can be considered as the official begin. The table is full of fresh fruits, delicate food is dazzling, especially the roasted red and oily leg of lamb with an enticing aroma. For a while, the cups were staggered, and the praises were overwhelming.

Ling Dongwu looked at the famous dishes of the Northern Desert in front of her, the roast leg of mutton was difficult, she knew that this was the highest standard of the feast of the Northern Desert, but looking at the piece of meat as big as her head in front of her, she didn't know how to eat it, because to eat this roast leg of mutton, the people of the Northern Desert used their hands to eat it, but she couldn't do it, and she didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the people around him were eating in large chunks, Ling Dongwu peeked at the Northern Desert Emperor, his forehead was full and noble, and his slightly pursed mouth was resolute, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be curved, and he was smiling at the beauty beside him. She turned her head and secretly began to look at the people in the hall, and in the Yanqing Palace, from the emperor, the queen mother, and the mother, they sat in two columns. The tables on the right are their envoys from the Southern Zhao, and the tables on the left are the officials of the Northern Desert, sitting according to their grades, Xiao Haotian's father Xiao Hongtu sits on the top with a red face, Xiao Haotian sits under him as the chief, and then the generals are arranged in order of rank, each family has a table, basically, each family is a star holding the moon, not to mention three or four wives and concubines hugging a male host.

The Lord of the Eight Divisions of the Northern Desert was close to Xiao Haotian's table, this person looked very rough and fierce, with an arrogant expression, and there were four ladies sitting beside him, and eight beautiful women stood aside behind him, serving him carefully. Below him, in turn, are the high-ranking nobles of the Northern Desert.

Ling Dongwu's eyes turned around, and he saw Zhou Ze across the two tables, I don't know when he came in, he was slapping his eyes at Ling Dongwu, Ling Dongwu and his eyes touched, and he was so frightened that he quickly moved away, but the corner of his eyes still swept to Zhou Ze's smirk.

Ling Dongwu only looked around curiously, not hearing the hypocritical greetings between Xia Wenxuan and the Northern Desert Emperor, nor did she see a few searching eyes from different directions that had been entangled in her.

According to the rules, only the queen can sit side by side with the emperor, but today the emperor saw that Xiao Meiren, who had always been cold as ice, took the initiative to participate in this feast, and happily arranged Xiao Yingyue to sit next to him.

Xuan Ran Shouxu likes his Xiao beauty and can't put it down, but for some reason, he always feels that he is separated from her, even if she is attached to him in his arms, even if she lies under him and pants, even if he is buried deep in her body, he still feels that she is far away from him and unattainable.

He once wondered if Xiao Yingyue didn't love him, and he pretended to be someone else in his heart, but when he looked around her, she had never been in contact with any man except for her brother Xiao Haotian, and slowly he believed that she was such a cold person.
