As long as the emperor holds a banquet, no matter what the purpose is, it is better than bad, whether it is the courtiers and concubines, or those princesses and princesses, they are rarely absent. What's more, tonight's banquet is a celebration banquet.

But in fact, it is called a celebration banquet, and everyone knows it very well, this banquet is actually set up by the emperor in order to announce the news of the marriage between the king of Lanling County and the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

But no matter what kind of banquet it is, the people present are still a little tacit, and they look like a harmonious appearance on the surface, but what is actually thinking in their hearts, who still has those minds to suspect and doubt?

Originally, Zheng Qingqing was a little tired because of the troubles these days, and planned that no matter who called her, she would never pay attention to it until the third pole of the day, let alone get up.

It's just that for the orchid dance, that is, "the plan of the day lies in the morning".

If most of the good time in the early morning is occupied by Miss sleeping, then Miss will be too boring in the early morning of her first return to Northern Qi, right?

It's just that Zheng Qingqing, who has exhausted all possible orchid dances, has shown her despair when she sees that she has passed so many methods, and she is still still awake in bed.

"Miss, don't tell me, you really plan to sleep until three o'clock in the morning, do you? That's not going to happen! If you marry the prince in the future, you will live in the palace of Lanling County, but you will not be as free as here. Also, where are some maids like Ah Wu and the maids in Zheng's Mansion who don't chew the root of their tongues...... Eh, miss, you really can't sleep anymore! Looking at Zheng Qingqing, who was still lying on the bed, not moving at all, not yet conscious, with sleepy eyes and hazy eyes, Orchid Dance's expression at the moment can really be described as wanting to cry without tears.

But after she saw Gao Changgong, she didn't think so anymore.

As long as His Royal Highness is here, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to get the young lady up, right?

Thinking like this, Kan Huawu turned around and saw that Gao Changgong was just a slight bow to him, and then retreated with interest.

It was Ah Ling, who had been standing on the small swing in the house with fluttering wings to herald the arrival of Gao Changgong to Zheng Qingqing, but it was a pity that Zheng Qingqing, the hostess who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was still unmoved.

This made Ah Ling's heart burst into a lot of fire, she simply screamed and fluttered, quickly flew to Gao Changgong's side, landed on his shoulder, and pulled his clothes from time to time with her mouth.

She seemed to be saying, "Hurry up, go and wake up this lazy woman on the bed!"

He is tall and courteous, but he is not Zheng Qingqing, and he can't easily understand Ah Ling's words.

But after all, Ah Ling was also by his side for a period of time before, and it was as spiritual as chasing the wind, only through Ah Ling's actions, even if he didn't have the ability to communicate with small animals, he could understand Ah Ling's meaning.

With a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, he slowly paced to Zheng Qingqing's bedside with his hands in his hands. I don't know what Gao Changgong leaned over and said in the ear of Zheng Qingqing, who was in a dream, but I saw her open her eyes violently in the next second, blinking and looking at Gao Changgong for a long time, and then hurriedly shouted at Orchid Dance to come in and dress herself, and she hurriedly turned over and got out of bed with shoes on.

The orchid dance that just came in looked like this when she came in.

On the surface, he was embarrassed by his own young lady's still fiery character, but in his heart, he was embarrassed by Gao Changgong's ability to wake up Miss so smoothly.

Let's just say that for Miss, sometimes only the prince has some ways to take her.

Today, Gao Changgong wants to take Zheng Qingqing into the palace and attend today's palace banquet.

Therefore, he changed his style like a fairy, wearing a wide-sleeved coat with dark patterns in the dark clouds, a shirt of the same color on the inside, and a pattern of gold thread sleeves on the neckline and a white pattern against each other.

A waterfall-like 3,000 ink hair fluttered wantonly in the wind, a black belt was tied around the waist, and a half crescent-shaped jade pendant of mutton fat jade was pinned to the waist, carved with a faint orchid. But the whole person looks like he is not evil, crazy, domineering and leaking.

In order to cooperate with Gao Changgong and make himself look more compatible in the eyes of outsiders when he walks with him, but he doesn't want to create too charming and gorgeous feelings for outsiders, Zheng Qingqing only ordered Orchid Dance to paint himself with a light makeup, rubbing a light peach face grease and some peach lip grease.

After that, he tied a half-ponytail with a white ribbon, and took some of the rest of his hair and scattered it in front of him, and the rest was scattered behind his head like a waterfall.

Although in the end, she only changed into a white water-sleeved long gauze dress embroidered with a white auspicious cloud pattern embroidered with gold thread, with a delicate silver head chain and pale pink tassel earrings.

It looks like it is not as heavy and charming as the previous makeup, but it is also like jasmine and a faint orchid, holy and exquisite, noble and elegant.

The two walked out side by side, one black and one white, as if they were a pair of matching people, without the slightest sense of disobedience.

They were not accustomed to traveling in any carriage, and there was no carriage in this valley, let alone a coachman to drive them, but they rode happily to the palace, leaving only Ah Ling and the orchid dancing in the valley.

Thinking about it, if something happens, you can inform them through Ah Ling's flying pigeon, and second, you can also take care of Yu Ye Minglan.

Even though Zheng Qingqing's brothers and sisters were summoned back by the master, after all, Zheng Qingqing still only trusted Orchid Dance, and with multiple people, she felt more at ease.

Although he went back to Northern Qi, after all, for the sake of insurance on weekdays, when he saw the person with Gao Changgong's true face, he could count it on his fingers, but before he arrived at the palace, he still needed to wear that somewhat stuffy silver mask.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the two were stopped and interrogated by the guards guarding the door, and only after Gao Changgong took off his mask and held Zheng Qingqing briefly explained before they could be allowed in.

It was a misunderstanding, and after guarding the gate of the palace for so many years, I was a little confused, looking at the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty, except for His Royal Highness the King of Lanling County, who would wear a mask and appear on the battlefield and Yecheng?

It's just that the rumors outside are true, and their Royal Highness the King of Lanling is really talented, both civil and military.

It is said that there are only a handful of people who can see the true face of their Lanling King.

But today, the true face of their Lanling King was fortunate to let them catch a glimpse, and it was not in vain that he had been in the palace for many years.

It's just because of time, where do the two of them care about the reaction of the two people who saw Gao Chang's respectful face?

After the two guards took the initiative to say that they wanted to temporarily tie the chasing wind to the stables in the palace, Gao Changgong and Zheng Qingqing walked inside unhurriedly.

Since the two met the early dynasty, the palace banquet needed to be held at night, so that in the end, Zheng Qingqing was alone in this huge palace.

She doesn't know any of the people here, and those individuals don't know her either, and she regrets not bringing Orchid Dance and Ah Ling here, and now, only one person is left in the palace to wander around until the end of Brother Qi's early dynasty, which is really a bit boring.

I was thinking about finding someone to ask where the stable was, and when I wanted to find Chasing the wind, I accidentally caught a glimpse of Princess Le'an, who had just entered the palace surrounded by all the palace maids.

It's just that Princess Le'an doesn't seem to know Zheng Qingqing, but she is only a lady brought into the palace by a minister who is good friends with the royal family, but it seems that she is also very interested in Zheng Qingqing.

So she, with a snow-white cat in her arms, was gently moving lotus steps towards her.

wanted to stop not far from her and ask Zheng Qingqing what to say, but she didn't want the cat in her arms to know what was going on today, whether she suddenly saw a butterfly and wanted to pounce, or she was not used to seeing a living person and wanted to escape first, when Princess Le'an took the lead in asking Zheng Qingqing, she jumped to the ground uncontrollably, taking cat steps, and seemed to be going in the direction of Zheng Qingqing.

Just listening to the rapid cry of "meow", Zheng Qingqing quickly caught the white cat, but she was not as good as her Ah Ling'an, and she was struggling in her arms, but she didn't like her to hug.

"Anyway, which concubine's cat in this palace are you? Looking at how you look, you don't look like a cat of the Northern Qi species, I always feel that you are a cat breed from a foreign country. Could it be...... Turkic cats, right? Zheng Qingqing ignored the struggle of the "white hairball" in her arms, but she teased her along its fur.

The touch of this cat hair is still good.

It seems that its owner must have put a lot of thought into taking good care of it.

The cat didn't like strangers to touch it, but now I saw Zheng Qingqing's "devil's claws" unscrupulously "ravaging" its white fur, and the whole thing meowed like a fried voice: "What kind of concubine raised?" This little cat is a cat paid tribute by the Turkic envoys, and the famous Princess Le'an is my master. Anyway, you woman, don't keep putting your hands on my hair, it's very uncomfortable, let me go! ”

If she knew that she Zheng Qingqing saw this situation, she would know that Zheng Qingqing must be talking to this cat again at this moment; If you don't know, just listening to the cat scratching and fluttering in the air at Zheng Qingqing again, and then looking at Zheng Qingqing, you must think that she has something wrong. I'm talking to myself at the cat.

For example—

"Princess Le'an? Is it the emperor's daughter? Or ......" Zheng Qingqing understood the cat's words, but he was suddenly curious about the princess Le'an in his mouth.

Just wanted to open his mouth to ask the cat about Princess Le'an, but saw that the two maids beside Princess Le'an, Youwan and Ruzhi, were in Zheng Qingqing's arms, and they didn't know what happened, and they thought that Zheng Qingqing was tossing Princess Le'an's cat.

The two glanced at each other in a panic, and both shouted to Zheng Qingqing in unison: "Stop!" Whose lady are you to be so bold and dare to bully our princess's cat! Don't get your name on it yet, and - let this cat go! ”

But Zheng Qingqing didn't feel frightened because of this, nor was he scared out, he still looked at the graceful Ruyi in front of him with a light smile.

On the contrary, the cat in her arms who claimed to be Princess Le'an, seeing that it was Ruyi and Youwan, it was originally in Zheng Qingqing's arms and became even less honest, and it barked even more powerfully, "Why did you two little maids appear!" Do you know that if you appear a little later, this little cat will be annoyed to death by this woman? What are you doing with all this nonsense? Don't you get me out of this woman's hands! Anyway, what about the princess? ”

If he were a person, I'm afraid he would burst into tears because Youwan and Ruyi happened to appear at this time, right?

It's a pity that Ruyi and Youyou can't understand what this cat master means, and only hear it meow at himself without listening, and think that it is not being bullied, but enjoying the feeling of being held in the arms of others.

Therefore, for a while, both of them stopped talking, and they did not have the arrogance they had before.

And Zheng Qingqing really listened to the cat's words word for word, and looked up at the woman in a royal blue luxurious dress not far from him with a blank face.

Could it be that the elegantly dressed and extravagant woman is the princess Le'an in this cat's mouth?

Just as she frowned and looked pensive, she heard Le An behind the two of them come slowly.

At this time, the cat didn't know where to give birth to a strong force, and actually broke free from Zheng Qingqing's arms and threw himself into Le An's arms.

Sure enough, it was as I expected in my heart. Zheng Qingqing was slightly surprised in his heart, but he still raised a shallow smile on his face and looked at Le'an in front of him.

"Which minister or general's daughter are you? It's not time for the banquet yet, how did you get into the palace? Le An was still calm and light, but with a bit of etiquette when Zheng Qingqing faced herself, for a moment, a trace of surprise and a little more appreciation for her calmness crossed her face, raised her voice, and asked her in a salty and non-indifferent manner.

She...... It shouldn't be the daughter of a general's minister, right? If she was, where could she have come in so successfully?

Zheng Qingqing was a little hesitant to explain his identity directly to Princess Le'an.

It's just that after that, she doesn't seem to have such a chance.

The little palace maid who ran out of nowhere, after seeing Princess Le'an, first bowed respectfully, and then didn't know what to say to her, and saw that the princess had changed from looking at her with some scrutiny to a kind of sincere excitement and joy.

Therefore, she immediately forgot about the existence of such a person as Zheng Qingqing, and immediately leaned down gracefully to pick up the cat, as if she had just been caught by Zheng Qingqing for the first time, she left under the embrace of a palace maid.

And although I don't know why, when Gao Changgong ended the early dynasty and found Zheng Qingqing, he was told by the palace that the dinner was changed to today's lunchtime.

The two of them walked around the imperial garden, talked for a while, and then walked side by side to the place where the banquet was held, and at the door of the main hall, they only heard a sound of silk and bamboo piano slowly entering the ears, and the aroma of wine and food mixed in the air breeze, blowing towards them.

The hall was filled with loud talk and laughter.

It seems that the atmosphere is pretty good today.

It's just that this banquet seems to have started some time, right? It turned out that both of them were already late to attend.
