Chapter 17 Palace Banquet, Prince Anguo Visits

"Sit."

The person in the upper position was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, the five-clawed golden dragon on his chest was majestic, and a jade face was stunned so that people couldn't see that they were already in their forties, and only the eyebrows showed the impatience that Mingzhu didn't understand.

Daxing Emperor Lang Chenbei inherited the throne at a young age, reigned for decades and the wind and rain were smooth and the country was rich and the people were strong, in the early years it was famous for its country and the city, it is rumored that there are many women who are lovesick for it, even if they later married the current queen, there are many women who are sad and cry for it.

It is said that when the current queen was still a concubine, the emperor favored her alone, and disbanded the harem for it, and the latter two had two sons, the prince Lang Hongli was named the prince since the full moon after birth, and the king of Che Lang Hongliu was crowned king at the age of five, although the little prince was one year old, but he was married a year ago.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince and the crown princess of Anguo are waiting outside."

After everyone was seated, the head of internal affairs, Gao Cheng, bent down at the emperor's side and said.

Lang Chenbei frowned, "Biography." ”

Gao Cheng nodded yes, "Please the crown prince of Anguo, the crown princess-"

With his voice, Mingzhu put away his mind and looked at the palace door like everyone else, only to hear a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo, and the prince of Anguo slowly walked into the palace with the princess.

Different from the delicacy of the Daxing people's dress, Anguo has been in the desert alone on an island for many years, although it is a complete country like Daxing and Daxing on the surface, each with its own country name, but in fact there are few people and the national strength is not as strong as Daxinglai, on their side are all wearing robes and boots, wearing felt hats or turbans, Rao is now winter, and the prince and princess of Anguo who came in are still wearing fur around their necks.

As soon as the two of them came in, they were followed by several people, and the two of them carried in a number of boxes, and Mingzhu knew that it was a gift to the emperor.

"Ercheng of Anguo, Erjin, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Daxing."

The two stepped forward, the man on the left and the woman on the right, both putting one of their hands on their chests and respectfully saluting the person in the upper position.

"Prince, the princess is polite, the person who is here is a guest, take a seat quickly."

The people above were smiling, and their good-looking faces were not impatient, and after listening to his words, the prince and the princess of the saddle country said thank you and stood up straight, and then turned sideways, and the prince of the saddle country Ercheng spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is what my king specially asked Xiao Wang to bring to you, it is not a tribute, and please accept it with a smile."

As he spoke, the person in charge of carrying the salute stepped forward one by one, carefully placed the boxes on the ground and opened them, just like in the previous life, except for a few people in the upper position, the rest of the people present couldn't help but stretch their necks to look into the boxes, wondering what would be inside.

Ran Mingzhu has already experienced it once, so naturally she is not interested, but what the prince of Anguo should say still has to say.

After a long list of gifts was read, Mingzhu subconsciously looked at it, and at this glance, he almost couldn't help laughing.

His Majesty the Emperor in the middle looked bored, and the person on his left who was seven points similar to him also looked down with the same expression, and the boredom on his face was almost not written, and as the gift list was finished, the father and son almost moved at the same time, raised their hands and gently covered their mouths and yawned.

It's as interesting as it is.

"Your Majesty," Empress An Hongdou was helpless to the extreme after seeing the consistent movements of the father and son, and slightly approached to remind His Majesty the Emperor's actions, in exchange for His Majesty's impatient glaring.

An Hongdou shook his head and looked at his two sons, and the helplessness in his heart was simply to the extreme.

"Prince, the princess has worked hard," although he was a little impatient, Lang Chenbei still did what he should do, raised his hand, and asked people to take the things underneath, and then said: "The two of you have been tired all the way, and you are tired of coming, come here, give the prince, the princess a seat." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone from the palace came over and put the two delicate and atmospheric chairs at the top of the left side, and the crown prince and the princess of Anguo thanked them and then turned to sit down.

After a few simple polite words, the banquet officially began, as soon as His Majesty the Emperor spoke, with the shout of Gao Cheng, the head of the inner house, the musician located in the corner of the hall played the palace music, and then a red carpet about one zhang wide extended from the outside to the hall, and the length happened to reach the front of the stage.

Mingzhu knew and began to perform cabaret.

According to the process of the banquet in the previous life, the dinner was prepared by the palace people after the song and dance performance, and the uniqueness of this dinner was that all the food at the banquet was prepared by the queen herself.

This point was quite unexpected in her previous life, in her cognition, a noble person like the queen should be the most finger without touching the spring water, and she also learned from others scattered times.

It is said that Queen An Hongdou is a commoner woman, in her early years, she met the emperor who went out on patrol by chance, and the two had feelings after a long time together, so the queen at that time was named a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, becoming the first person in history to be a concubine as soon as she entered the palace.

Thinking of this, Mingzhu couldn't help but take a look at the upper position, and happened to see the queen talking to the emperor, her face was a little helpless, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of spoiling, Mingzhu couldn't help but hook her lips, she knew that there was a reason for the queen's expression, and this reason happened to be something she didn't say in her previous life.

Just thinking about it, the person above suddenly looked sideways, Mingzhu was stunned, and glanced at the queen and quickly lowered his eyes.

Although the food at the palace banquet was the second time she had eaten, she couldn't help but secretly exclaim in her heart, because she was not favored in the General's Mansion, she had never eaten anything good in her previous life.

Although the food has changed now, the dishes in the house have always been relatively light, and there are not as many tricks as the queen makes, almost every table and everyone in front of them is different, Mingzhu is satisfied, pursed his lips and picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"Here, try this," Sun's voice came from the side, and then there were a few more slices of what was called sizzling squid in the pearl bowl.

Because of what happened when he came, Mingzhu was taken by Sun's side since he entered the palace, although Qin Jing and Hao Mingzhen and other three people were dissatisfied, but Mingzhu was still sitting next to Sun, looking at the squid with spicy oil luster in the bowl, Mingzhu was moved, but he turned his head and said: "Grandmother, I see that you rarely use it at all, don't take care of me." ”

Sun waved his hand and said, "I'm old, although I can't eat much no matter how good the taste is, but you're almost thin into a bamboo pole, eat more." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the things that didn't move on his plate to the pearl plate, and before the pearl could stop it, there were a bunch of more in front of him.

"Grandmother......" she couldn't help but laugh, looking at what was in front of her and not knowing how to speak.

Sun pretended to glare at her, buried his head in eating something else, Mingzhu was moved and helpless, so he had to pick up chopsticks and continue, and this scene happened to be seen by Qin Jing and Hao Mingzhen and Hao Mingyao who were sitting on the side, and they suddenly had different thoughts, but there was no doubt that they were all dissatisfied with Mingzhu.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country is good at martial arts, I wonder if I will have the honor to have a fight?"

Just when everyone was full of praise for the food at today's banquet, Prince Anguo spoke, and the audience suddenly fell silent, Mingzhu's heart tightened, and he raised his eyes.

No, at this time in the previous life, the prince of Anguo didn't mention the idea of learning martial arts at all, could it be because of her rebirth, so in addition to the news of the banquet, a few days late, even this matter has changed?

Wondering, his gaze moved to the person above with the others.

Lang Hongli was still indulging in the delicious cuisine of his mother, who knew that when he suddenly came out like this, he immediately felt emotions in his heart, and his good-looking eyebrows were brought together in the middle, but then he put down the food in his hand, took the wet towel handed over by his small stomach and wiped his mouth and hands, and his body was long.

"Okay," he said, leaping off the stage in a dashing manner, and as he opened his mouth and moved, Mingzhu clearly heard a few excited chatters coming from the side where they were sitting.

"Ahh

"Yes, his voice is so good, and he smiles beautifully, if I can marry His Highness, even if I die, I will be blind."

"Okay, don't dream, I heard that His Royal Highness doesn't have the intention of taking a concubine at all now."

"Do you say that Your Highness already has a sweetheart, otherwise how could you not even have a side concubine."

"Ahhhh

“……”

Listening to these whispered discussions, Mingzhu was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but look in that direction a few more times.

"The prince is really a cheerful person," the prince of the Saddle Kingdom got up, and the robe and fur fur were in stark contrast to the person with a long body like jade.

Lang Hongli raised his eyebrows, said thank you casually and walked to the middle.

The Changming Palace is a big place, even if it is here to learn martial arts, it has no effect, but the prince of Anguo, who let the people sitting there, are vaguely dissatisfied, after all, they are still eating, and it is rude to propose to learn martial arts at this time.

But as a last resort, since everyone has already put it forward, everyone as the master naturally wants to support the scene, and it is a matter of the country's face, so everyone has put down the things in their hands and sat down, looking at the two people in the middle of the field, Mingzhu's eyes are also fixed on the apricot yellow figure.

"Come as a guest, Prince Anguo, please."

Lang Hongli took one hand behind him, raised the other slightly, his eyebrows were picturesque and warm as jade, and he looked a lot calmer without the fun on weekdays.

The prince of Anguo hooked his lips and smiled, softening the hard outline of his face, and after Lang Hongli finished speaking, he raised his hand and clenched his fist, and the next moment he put on a posture and attacked Lang Hongli lightly, even if it was nearly a zhang away, Mingzhu still felt the sharp palm wind, and his heart couldn't help but pull up, and everyone held their breath and watched intently.

"The three-legged cat's kung fu still dares to come out and show off, and it is not light."

Lang Chenbei was forced to put down the golden chopsticks when he was glared at by the people around him for the third time, and he was extremely dissatisfied.
