Chapter 709: The Night Banquet is in danger

After Murong Yan finished speaking, he laughed "haha", and hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized: "Offended...... Offended...... Brother Wangfeng and the queen don't blame, don't blame...... If I am rude, I will punish myself with a cup. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.

This act of apology made it difficult for Rong Yunxi and the emperor to have any troubles. Rong Yunxi smiled instead: "Your Majesty is too worried." Your Majesty praises this palace, how can this palace blame it with a small belly? If not, wouldn't he have spent His Majesty's belly as a gentleman with the heart of a villain? ”

The emperor also smiled and said: "Brother Murong praises my queen so much, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I blame it?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and gave Murong Yan a glass in return.

But when the corners of his mouth touched the wine glass, his brows frowned slightly.

Why did Murong Yan talk so deliberately about his meeting with Yunxi on the Purple Cloud Pavilion? It's as if I had discussed with someone in advance to keep the lie right.

Brother Murong said...... I met with my queen in the Purple Cloud Pavilion last year, could it be that Brother Murong also went to the Purple Cloud Pavilion last year? The emperor put down his glass and asked in surprise.

Murong Yan was also surprised, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, what are you asking...... Isn't it the same as nonsense? If I hadn't gone to the Purple Cloud Pavilion, would I still be able to use clairvoyance? I don't have that ability! ”

"Hehe......" the emperor said with a smile, "I'm confused, but I really asked a nonsense...... It's just that Brother Murong is entangled in state affairs, why did he suddenly run to Ziyun Mountain, which is thousands of miles away? But what was the important thing to do at that time? ”

"Hi...... What could it matter? It's just a trip to the mountains and rivers! If you are not afraid of the jokes of Brother Feng and everyone here, I am in our snow country, and that is an idler! There is no more of me in the country, and there is no less of me, and everything is controlled by the queen mother, what do I care? Just keep yourself entertained! Murong Yan said with a smile.

He casually joked about his embarrassment, which made the listeners very embarrassed. For a moment, the envoys of all countries looked at the emperor to see how the host would react. The emperor had no choice but to laugh and say: "It's rare to be confused, it's rare to be confused!" I really envy you, Brother Murong! Come, just for Brother Murong's chic, I salute Brother Murong with a cup! ”

Immediately, the envoys of all countries also raised their wine glasses with the emperor, and said with a hypocritical smile: "Your Majesty is so happy and happy, which is enviable......"

After some greetings, the emperor did not get the answer he expected, but the answer he got at this time was too seamless, which made his heart colder and heavier.

As a man, and a man in the position of an emperor, it is not easy to say that he is a puppet in front of people so directly. Unless this person is a straw bale and does not want to be embarrassed at all. But Murong Yan doesn't look like a straw bag no matter how he looks at it, let alone a shameless person.

Unless, he is willing to do so to divert the attention of others by hiding something more important.

So what exactly does Murong Yan want to hide? Isn't that the reason for going to Purple Cloud Pavilion? Either the reason is extremely unspeakable, or it is ...... There is no reason at all. He hadn't been to the Purple Cloud Pavilion at all, so why was it?

Murong Yan was worried that he would reveal his flaws when he interrogated carefully, so he said that he was an idler to block all his doubts. Since you are an idler, isn't it normal to go where to play? What's there to be surprised about?

However, because this person is Murong Yan, the fact that he is an "idler" is very strange in itself.

Although he has not yet reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he has the ability to know people, and he boasts that he still has some skills. Murong Yan is definitely different from the fourth. Even if Murong Yan had nothing to do in the Snow Country for the whole year of last year, it was impossible for him to do anything to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Because he has a heavy burden, he doesn't have the leisure to travel the mountains and rivers.

But if it can be said that he and Yunxi joined hands to make the illusion of meeting on Ziyun Mountain...... I can't quite say it. So what's in it for the two of them, for them and for Snow Country? What is the difference between knowing earlier and knowing later?

The emperor felt that the truth was clearly in front of him, but this truth was about to become a "misunderstanding" because he couldn't make sense.

When he quietly listened to the envoys of several other countries greeting each other, because of the suspicion in his heart, his eyes unconsciously fell on Murong Yan's body, but he saw that Murong Yan's gaze fell on him at this time! That is, the body of Yunxi! At just this glance, a thought suddenly flashed in the emperor's mind, and what he couldn't figure out was suddenly cleared up now!

What more benefits could it have? As long as you can dispel the doubts in his heart and let him continue to be a fool, this is the greatest benefit!

Whether people are new acquaintances or old acquaintances, many unintentional eyes can't be hidden. Therefore, if Yunxi and Murong Yan only meet for the first time today, it is inevitable that there will be flaws in the conversation between the two and when their eyes collide. But if the two reunite with old acquaintances, some old acquaintances when they look at each other and talk will not be so suspicious.

What a smart woman is Yunxi? As long as it is something she wants to calculate, she can't wait to calculate it on every tip of her hair, and there is no reason for not being meticulous! Finding a reasonable explanation for such an easily exposed place is naturally what she must do, and she will never miss it.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more cold he felt...... In this way, isn't it true that Yunxi is deceiving him?

What's going on? At first, he resisted believing. But why did he come to the banquet today and see Murong Yan completely, as if everything was just to prove that Yunxi had deceived him. He does it all...... Why does it seem that just because of this, he doesn't trust Wanxi in his heart?

But he obviously trusts Wanxi. He was willing to believe her! But why, before you know it, this firm belief has turned into a deliberate search?

What went wrong......

Could it be because Yunxi is too smart, so he has always been unable to find a sense of security in Yunxi. What he has always believed in her is just a paralysis of self-deception?

She is too smart and he loves her too much, so in the bottom of his heart, he doesn't believe that such a woman will really give her heart to him completely.

In front of her, he has always had low self-esteem.

Because of low self-esteem, I have repeatedly confirmed, and because of low self-esteem, I have repeatedly doubted. is also because of low self-esteem, so he constantly hypnotizes himself and paralyzes himself, making himself a ridiculous, confused, and arrogant person. In her mind, perhaps he was already a ridiculous, arrogant fool.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more depressed he felt...... He knew that he seemed to be drilling the horns of the bull at this time, but he didn't dare to come out. Because he was afraid that once the withdrawal came, he would become an arrogant, self-deceiving person again. If you continue to be suspicious, you will be suspected of drilling the horns of the bull and having a small belly, but if you are open-minded, you are in danger of becoming a fool. He was a little confused about which one to choose.

In fact, what he cares about is not his own opinion, not the world's opinion, but her opinion. What kind of image is he in her heart?

The conversation between the emperor and Murong Yan stopped for a while, and it was already time for the envoys of the countries to greet each other. The queen and the emperor just laughed and watched them talk. Zhiqiu knew that this was a good time to talk to Miss. But after hesitating for a while, he still didn't dare to say it.

Maybe...... Maybe it's nothing...... Maybe Concubine Bo didn't wait to do evil, so she put away this plan. In this way, wouldn't she confess in vain?

Or wait, wait...... Let's see how it goes, don't rush.

Zhiqiu tried his best to comfort himself, trying not to show any clues.

After the envoys of all countries exchanged pleasantries, the dishes for the night banquet were all ready. Xiao Yunzi, who was in charge of serving the food, kowtowed to the emperor and queen sitting on the throne three times, and respectfully retreated backwards to show that the dishes were all in place and the banquet could be held.

After Xiao Yunzi retreated to the outside of the palace, she stood outside the door with the eunuchs of the daughters of the palaces, the attendants of the Yuefu, and the waiters of the imperial dining room who should be waiting for the orders outside the door. Li Zhonggui, who was standing not far behind the emperor, shouted: "Lu Qi banquet ......"

The Yuefu Le Ji who had been prepared for a long time played three loud music, and a group of red-clothed dancing girls poured into the center of the hall from both sides of the "scallop pillar" on the far side of the Penglai Palace. The singers sang a soft but high-pitched cappella, and the dancers started neatly, followed by singing and music together, with a fiery red accompaniment, slender waist, looking forward to the brilliance, and beautiful......

The emperor and Rong Yunxi picked up the wine glass, signaled for a moment, drank all the wine in the cup, lifted the silver chopsticks in hand, and signaled that they could move the chopsticks.

Because of the cold wind on the spring night, and the sky has been cloudy during the day, until this time, there are still dark clouds outside, and there is no starlight, I am afraid that there will be a heavy rain coming. Therefore, although there are many people in this night banquet, there is no outside banquet, but it is only held in the Penglai Palace. The Penglai Hall is empty, and the officials sit in it, and they don't feel crowded, but the place for singing and dancing is not as spacious as the open space outside the hall.

Rao is so, these singers and dancers who have passed through Yuefu's strict ** still make these envoys from afar look at them intently, and everyone's eyes are full of admiration. Of course, there are a few misbehaps, and their faces are not as simple as admiration, but full of color.

The envoys of the countries naturally sat in the front row of the left and right, followed by Prince Jing, the only prince in the court, and then the concubines in the palace. Then came the court officials who sat according to their official positions. Because of the large number of distant guests, from the first rank of the court official, he has been squeezed into the second row on the left and right.

The envoys sat in front of them, and Rong Yunxi could see the reaction of no one to them clearly...... Rong Yunxi glanced at the Jade of Fire lightly, and when he saw his full of hue, he couldn't help but look down on him. As lustful as the Jade of Fire, there are also several retinues of the Cloud Kingdom. Here in Snow Country, I don't know if I'm used to seeing snowy beauties, and I'm not surprised by these dancing girls, or if I really have a good character, in short, I've always had an appreciative attitude, and sometimes I commented on the songs and dances, and I didn't see any obscenity.

Whether he has really seen the world or has a good character, it can be seen that Murong Yan is very good at choosing people. How can such a person who knows people well and is willing to be a puppet for a long time? Wolong will eventually soar, but it will only be a matter of time.

In the midst of the harmony of singing and dancing, suddenly, someone from the concubine's side exclaimed: "Niangniang! ”

I could hear the voice, it turned out to be coming from Huo Xiaoyan's side. It was not Huo Xiaoyan's maid who exclaimed, but Bo Xinlan's maid who sat next to Huo Xiaoyan - Dongxue!
