Nangong Jin nodded briskly: "What's busy?" ”

"There will be a banquet later, you can help me toast Zhao Yan with a glass of wine." Mu Yunge smiled slyly and squeezed his eyes: "A glass of spirits." ”

Nangong Jin's eyes widened, and when she understood the meaning of her words, she laughed suddenly.

Zhu Yiru and Zhao Yan didn't know that Mu Yunge had dug a trap and waited for the two of them to jump, and they were still proud. Zhu Yiru returned to Mrs. Zhu's side, and obediently waited for the banquet to begin, her eyes shining with excitement that she was bound to get. Seeing that she was radiant, Mrs. Zhu couldn't say what she felt in her heart, and her smile was a little reluctant.

The expressions of the two fell in Xiao's eyes, and Xiao was not stupid, so he was naturally interested, but his face was steady, with an expression that he didn't notice at all.

Mu Yunge and Nangong Jin did not stay by the rockery for too long.

Wei Shi entered the palace this morning to greet Concubine De, and went to congratulate Empress Zhao on her birthday. The Pei family has a huge power and cannot be easily offended, and the two sons of Concubine Degui have never participated in the battle for the heir, and there is no conflict of interest with Queen Zhao, Queen Zhao still likes Wei Shi, and knows his temperament, and has some meaning, so she left the other princes in Zhengyang Palace to speak, but allowed him to go out to play alone, and only ordered him to go to the garden before the banquet.

Wei Shi knew that Mu Yunge was also coming, so he had waited earlier, and when he saw the Xiao family, he didn't see anyone, so he asked a few henchmen and inner supervisors, only to know that she was here, and he followed the road to find her.

As soon as Wei Shi came, Nangong Jin smiled at Mu Yunge and took a step ahead of him.

When Mu Yunge saw Wei, she was a little happy in her heart, after the mission entered Beijing, she hadn't seen anyone else for several days, and I heard that Emperor Wu had named him and asked him to take the envoys around to play.

Wei Shi took Mu Yunge away from the side of the rockery, he was in a good mood, holding Mu Yunge's soft little hand, his soul almost flew, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't stop at all. The two stayed quietly for a while, the atmosphere was really good, Wei Shi hugged Mu Yunge's little waist, she didn't push him away as usual, but obediently leaned her head on Wei Shi's shoulder. This made Wei Shi even more like rolling in a honey vat, so sweet that it was indescribably sweet.

Just as he was fluttering, he heard Mu Yunge say in a low voice: "Do you know that the crown prince of Zhao is in the mission?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Shi replied in a low voice, and then was surprised: "You also know?" I was about to tell you! ”

"Zhao Yan told Shen Jingyu." Mu Yunge smiled sullenly: "You probably don't know that Shen Jingyu changed his name and followed the Liaozhou Assassin History into Beijing." He came to me again and made me bad. They're going to send me to the crown prince's bed! ”

She didn't even notice it herself, her tone was soft, and she was coquettish about her grievances to the man she loved.

"Hmph, if you want to send it so much, I'll send them over!" Wei Shi couldn't stand this tone, and suddenly burst into a rage: "Are they planning to do it at the banquet?" ”

Mu Yunge told Zhao Yan and Zhu Yiru's plan all over the time, Wei Shi listened to it, his eyebrows calmed down, and after thinking for a while, he laughed: "Good Yun'er, you can see later, see how I can help you take revenge!" ”

Mu Yunge's eyes lit up, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more gloating.

She is really looking forward to this palace banquet more and more!

The two didn't stay long, the bell of the palace banquet rang, and the three voices fell, and everyone had to go to the imperial garden. Mu Yunge's pace was slow, Wei Shi asked her to take the first step, and he picked a long road and went around in a circle to the Imperial Garden. Rao is like this, but the two of them came to the Imperial Garden from different directions almost one after the other, and across the crowd in the distance, Wei Shi smiled brightly, and patted his hand on his chest, which seemed to be a guarantee, and more like telling her not to be afraid.

Mu Yunge received the signal of love, her pretty face was slightly red, and she quickly returned to Xiao's side.

The seats of the banquet were arranged a long time ago, and there were three rows of women who sat up, and each row had twenty low tables. The Mu family's seat was seventh in the first row, and Nangong Jin's seat was first in the first row, next to the queen and Zhao Yan. Zhu Yiru's seat was the fourth from the bottom in the first row, and everyone was not next to each other.

On the right is Zhao Guolai's delegation, a group of four people, accompanied by Mu Ruyan. In addition, Emperor Wu's only few sons, the three protons of Huainan Palace, each had a table, close to Empress Zhao and Emperor Wu. There are only a dozen tables on the right, which is extraordinarily spacious.

There is a large open space on the left and right, where music and dancing are located.

After everyone sat down, Mu Yunge saw Mu Ruyan glance at Wei Shi quickly, but Wei Shi didn't look at her, and as soon as he sat down, he smiled and said something to Wei Yin at the next table, which made Wei Yin laugh again and again.

Mu Ruyan dressed up carefully today, but he didn't expect Wei Shi to even look at it, he was suddenly very breathless, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Mu Yunge opposite. Fortunately, Mu Yunge is very simple today, and if he doesn't look at that face carefully, he doesn't feel glamorous. But she still felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but want to make a few strokes on that face.

Before the killing intent rose, a cold gaze fell on him, and he couldn't help but shudder. Looking back, it was really Nangong Jin who was squinting at himself with warning eyes.

Mu Ruyan pursed her lips and innocently put away her resentment.

Zhao Yan and Zhu Yiru quickly exchanged glances, Zhao Yan quietly gestured, and Zhu Yiru lowered her eyes.

Empress Zhao and Emperor Wu came hand in hand, everyone stood up to greet them, Emperor Wu was very happy, and repeatedly said that they were not polite, and let everyone sit down. At this time, it was already three o'clock, and the palace maid began to serve the food, and after finishing, Emperor Wu said some words of blessing and rewarded Queen Zhao with a lot of things, and then ordered with a smile: "Let's have a banquet." ”

Emperor Wu and Empress Zhao moved the first chopsticks, and everyone below could move.

However, everyone knows that in today's banquet, the meal is fake, and the selection of concubines is the main course, it depends on how Emperor Wu starts.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, I saw Emperor Wu smiling and smiling at the leader of the delegation from Xizhao and said, "Lord Ru is new to Dawei, I'm afraid that I am a little unaccustomed to eating and drinking, right?" I heard that your country attaches great importance to singing and dancing, and this kind of banquet is like chewing wax without singing and dancing, but is it true? ”

"Yes." Lord Ru, who was named, straightened his chest and said proudly: "In Xizhao, singing and dancing are our souls, and any child can sing and dance well when he first comes." As he spoke, he glanced at everyone present with some contempt: "Unlike Da Wei, I heard that your women don't love these very much, let alone men." Don't look at you are all aristocrats, most of them are not proficient in music theory, right? ”

His arrogant conceit immediately angered everyone, and many people on the woman's side were dissatisfied, frowning and whispering to the people around him about Xi Zhao's rudeness.

Emperor Wu laughed, his eyes getting colder: "Lord Ru's words are wrong. Although my Great Wei doesn't have your open customs, if you talk about singing and dancing, I'm afraid that no one will lose to you, right? ”

"Really?" Lord Ru obviously didn't believe it, and pursed his lips disappreciatively: "Then His Majesty the Emperor dares to make a bet with me?" ”

"How do you want to bet?" Emperor Wu leaned out with interest.

Lord Ru clapped his hands, and the thirty beauties standing behind the mission took a step forward, and Lord Ru pointed at them with a smile and said, "This is a gift from Emperor Xi Zhao to Your Majesty, a total of thirty people." Your Majesty casually points three out of the middle of the list, and I also randomly pick three people out of your nobles, compete one by one, and win two out of three games, what does Your Majesty think? If we win, the princess's dowry will be doubled, and two more cities will be given. ”

"What if you lose?" Emperor Wu said.

Lord Ru raised his chin: "We won't lose!" ”

Before the words fell, there were some voices boiling on the side of the female dependents, they were all daughters of the family, and they were arrogant, how could they withstand such a provocation?

Empress Zhao also disliked the impudence and arrogance of the envoy extremely much, and looked at Emperor Wu, who snorted coldly and groaned.

"Why, doesn't Your Majesty dare?" This Lord Ru made it clear that he would not give up until he reached his goal, and began to provoke Emperor Wu.

This matter is about the face of the country, but also about the parting of the city and the dignity of the princess, Emperor Wu sneered and agreed: "So it will be fairer, if you lose, the princess's dowry will be added to two cities, how about it?" ”

Lord Ru was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Emperor Wu to agree, he was a little undecided, and quietly glanced at a young envoy behind him. The envoy is about twenty-four or five years old, and his face is well-defined, even if he is deliberately low-key, he has a natural majesty. He nodded, and Lord Ru dared to reply to Emperor Wu's words: "This is very good!" ”

Mu Yunge's gaze fell on the young man, he must be Mu Qingrui, the crown prince of Western Zhao, and he would not be the second choice.

The two parties reached an agreement, which was immediately written in black and white, and exchanged for preservation.

Emperor Wu looked at Wei Shi with a smile: "Shi'er, are you going to pick someone?" ”

Among his sons, Wei Wuzhen and Wei Quan grew up in the center of power since they were children, and it is okay for them to choose people to be their advisers, but it is too risky for them to choose singing and dancing. As for Wei Shanzhi...... Emperor Wu doesn't expect it, this son seems to be good at everything at present, but the music theory is a little worse! Wei Yin is a good candidate, but since the banquet was held, his eyes have been wandering around the young envoys of the mission, where did he notice what was happening?

Wei Shi received the order, immediately stood up, looked over one by one, and quickly ordered three beauties to come out.

Lord Ru is not nervous, the beauties they bring are all outstanding, their skills are extraordinary, no matter how they compare, they will not lose, he still has this confidence!

Seeing that Wei Shi had picked someone, he couldn't wait to stand up: "King Yu has chosen someone, it's time for us to choose someone, right?" ”

Emperor Wu bowed his head, and Lord Ru immediately looked at Mu Qingrui and winked.

Mu Qingrui stood up, and his eyes swirled on all the female relatives opposite.

Mu Yunge saw that his eyes were focused, sweeping over the young girl's face one by one, and suddenly a strange feeling swelled up, and he kept sneering in his heart. I see! It turned out that the crown prince wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look at these young ladies and choose the ones he liked......

It seems that today's game is what they have been planning for a long time!

Just thinking about it, Mu Qingrui's eyes had moved to her face. Looking at each other, Mu Yunge didn't have time to look back, but he saw Mu Qingrui's eyes suddenly widen, and a flash of surprise flashed quickly......
