Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Stormy Palace Banquet
Since Ling Chuyun can be named with Ouyang Lingyue, it must be something outstanding, not to mention anything else, it is this appearance, and now he is the only one who can be compared with Ouyang Lingyue on the scene, although the prince headed by the second prince is also very eye-catching, but in the end he is inferior.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived."
Qian Aolin and the Queen Mother walked in from the gate of the main hall surrounded by palace people, and the families of various ministers stood up to salute, and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms also got up.
"Welcome to the emperor, Queen Mother." Everyone respectfully greeted in unison.
Qian Aolin waved his sleeves and said casually: "All the Qing family is exempt, envoys, sit down." After the words fell, he helped the Queen Mother to sit in the seat, and then he sat down.
As the sun rose, the father-in-law standing on the side looked at the sundial (a timekeeping instrument that used the shadow of the sun to measure the time in ancient times), stepped forward and said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, the feast begins, and the music is played!" ”
Then, the musicians who had already prepared on the side began to play, the melodious sound of flutes, silk and bamboo, and the dancers with light gauze and water sleeves danced in with the music.
After a festive opening song, the dancers danced with long sleeves and gradually retreated as light as a cloud.
The room gradually fell silent.
Qian Aolin picked up the wine glass on the table beside him and raised it high, looking at everyone in the audience, with a smile on his face, "I am very happy to wash the dust for the envoys of various countries today, and I would like to give you a glass first." After speaking, he drank all the wine in his hand, and the envoys of various countries sitting in the audience also raised their glasses and drank the same.
Huang Rui of Chao Fengguo stood up and said, "Huang Rui, the envoy of Chao Fengguo, visited the lord of Hengnan, and His Majesty ordered me to bring a gift to present, hoping that the lord of Hengnan can like it." As he finished speaking, the two guards who followed behind him carried a cage covered with a black cloth, and the two guards lifted the black cloth to reveal what was hidden under the black cloth.
"Ahh There was a cry of horror from the family area.
What was locked in the cage turned out to be a mottled tiger, and the sudden brightness made the tiger stare at the people around it fiercely, its mouth was slightly open, and its sharp teeth flashed with a terrifying cold light.
Qian Aolin's eyes froze, and a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then he heard Huang Rui continue: "This is the mottled tiger captured by His Royal Highness when he was hunting, and I heard that this tiger is the king of that mountain. ”
Qian Aolin's face changed, isn't this ironic that although he is the emperor of a country, he will eventually become a prisoner of this order.
Hua Yingmei raised her eyebrows slightly, this palace banquet was so tense as soon as it came up.
Qian Aolin was reluctant in his heart, but he still accepted the mottled tiger sent by Chao Fengguo.
After Huang Rui retreated, Yun Hong, Ye Xiguo's general, got up and presented a gift: "This is a gift ordered by His Royal Highness of our country to present to me." ”
The palace people presented the box in Yunhong's hand to Qian Aolin, and Qian Aolin called, and inside was a phoenix-tailed golden hairpin.
Qian Aolin was a little surprised, Yun Hong saw the other party open the box, so he explained: "This is a treasure that His Royal Highness of our country got by chance, and it is rumored to be the favorite golden hairpin of the Donglin Imperial Concubine during her lifetime.
Qian Aolin's hand holding the brocade box trembled slightly, and he almost threw the box out.
Donglin Imperial Princess, isn't that the generation of disasters that brought disaster to the country and the people? Thousands of years ago, there were not four countries of Hengnan, Chaofeng, Lingyang, and Ye Xi, Donglin and another country competed, Donglin Emperor was originally a monarch with lofty ambitions, diligence and love for the people, but since the Donglin Imperial Concubine entered the palace, she was obsessed with beauty, and she was no longer concerned with the government from then on, and was finally annexed by another country, and the Donglin Emperor and the Donglin Imperial Concubine both killed themselves.
Ye Xiguo actually gave him such an obscure thing as a gift, it was really too deceitful!
"Thank you Ye Xiguo for the congratulatory gift that you personally prepared for me!" Qian Aolinpi smiled and thanked him.
In the end, only Ling Yangguo remained, Ling Izuyun slowly stood up from his seat, the dark purple robe shone with a strange color in the sun, he walked to the stage, bowed his head slightly to salute, obsidian eyes with a smile, a smile, there were broken waves in his eyes, his face showed a gorgeous style, and the ladies on the opposite side were crimson in cheeks, so a glamorous five princes of Lingyang.
"Hengnan is extensive, and Lingyang has Hengnan, I thought about it for a long time, and I still think that I can say the most authentic and sincere greeting-" He paused, turned around and turned behind him, and his magnificent voice slowly spit out from his mouth: "I wish Hengnan, dominate the world!" ”
The thrilling five words are like a silver bottle bursting with water slurry!
Ouyang Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and her ink-colored eyes were full of glazed brilliance.
Hua Yingmei raised her eyebrows, her icy eyes were like icebergs moving, Ling Izuyun was elegant and graceful in appearance, but her temperament was really unpredictable.
Qian Aolin's expression changed abruptly, he had long known that the envoys of the three kingdoms were not good, but he didn't expect them to be so aggressive, of course he wanted to dominate the world, but he didn't want to show his thoughts in front of everyone, but he didn't want to be broken by his words, if these three kingdoms joined forces to fight against Hengnan, he didn't have any ability to resist at all.
"I Hengnan accepted the blessing of the five princes, and when the time comes, please ask Ling Yang to live up to this greeting!" Ouyang Lingyue stood with one hand, and there was still a warm and warm smile on her harmless face, but this smile made people feel cold.
Qian Aolin didn't expect Ouyang Lingyue to suddenly answer, didn't he just say to the other two countries, I, Hengnan, just want to dominate the world?
Qian Aolin's face was slightly gloomy, and Ling Zhuyun's face changed even more, and he returned to normal in a subtle moment. The other party not only accepted his blessing, but also declared war with Ling Yang openly!
"The blessing has also been sent, can there be other programs next?" Ling Izuyun's tone was relaxed and natural, as if the suffocating words just now were not spoken by him.
One sentence easily provoked disputes among countries, and Ouyang Lingyue deserved to be Ouyang Lingyue.
Qian Aolin was so blocked that he couldn't speak, listening to Ling Yun's question, he had to suppress the anger in his heart, if he reprimanded Ouyang Lingyue at this time, let others watch, wasn't they Hengnan afraid of Ling Yang. So Qian Aolin: "Naturally, there is." ”
The palace man lifted down the cage containing the tiger, the musician played, and the dancers danced again.
Ling Izuyun drank wine, and at the end of the song, he said, "Is there only these programs?" It's a little too boring. ”
Qian Aolin's face was gloomy, but he laughed loudly: "Then according to the meaning of the five princes of Lingyang, what kind of show is not boring." ”
Ling Zhuyun smiled uninhibitedly: "Su asked the woman of Hengnan to be very talented, I don't know if I can open my eyes today." ”
The famous daughters present glanced at each other, their faces were happy, and they all felt that this was a good opportunity. Of course, it is very bad if everyone shows up, but this kind of occasion - that is a blind date banquet in disguise, not to mention the sons of the major wealthy families, even the princes are here, if they can get their favor, it will be to jump on the branch, not to mention, this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become famous, if you miss it once, there will be no more!
Only the flower shadow charm, Dai frowned slightly, she saw the playfulness in Ling Izuyun's eyes when he looked at her, he didn't just want to see her make a fool of himself when he said this, right? Her reputation won't be famous all over the continent!
Ling Izuyun really wanted to see her perform, but she didn't mean to make her ugly, the first time she saw her, she shot quickly and ruthlessly knocked the palace guards to the ground, and the second time she saw her, she stood on a high platform in a military uniform, wanton and proud.
He just wanted to see more of her, and Ling Izuyun always felt that what she showed was just the tip of the iceberg.
Hua Roulan was very excited, but there was a hidden worry, in the past, the reason why Hua Yingmei did not show her talent was because of her and her mother's obstruction, and today? Flower Shadow Charm is a princess, where will she be threatened, if she shows her talent, then her status as the first beauty will not be threatened?
Qian Aolin saw that there was no unhappiness in the official lady's door, and he had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.
Qian Aolin asked the little eunuch to prepare some wooden cards to give to the young ladies, who wanted to perform, so he wrote his name and performance items on it, and then asked the maid to put the wooden cards into the little eunuch's hand and hold a white jade plate.
According to his age, Qian Yuyang happened to sit next to Hua Yingmei, looked at those people and put wooden signs on them, and asked in a low voice, "Mei'er, why don't you write?" ”
Flower Shadow Charm raised her eyes to look at the wooden plaque, an inky light flashed in her eyes, and said with a smile: "With my reputation, it's better not to go up and offer ugliness." ”
Qian Yuyang opened her mouth, how much ability she has, until now he has not fully understood, saying that he came to the stage to be ugly, you can pretend!
But seeing that Hua Ying Mei really has no intention of going on stage, Qian Yuyang is not saying anything, and he is also happy to be so, if some people find out that Mei'er is so entangled, how can it be good.
He thought, and glanced to the side to see the Thousand Flames that were spying on him and Mei'er.
After getting ready, the father-in-law said in the order of the wooden cards: "According to the order of the daughters just handed over, please get ready." ”
According to the order, one by one, the daughters walked to the stage to perform their talents.
The first to appear was Gao Min'er, the daughter of Wei Guogong, who stood up and danced to the music, her steps were light and her posture was soft, like a colorful butterfly flying among the flowers.
Gao Min'er danced, but her eyes always followed Ouyang Lingyue's figure, his smile was soft, and that gentle gaze made Gao Min'er's heart beat faster, and her face turned crimson.
At the end of the dance, everyone applauded without hesitation.
Seeing Gao Min'er's shy and excited appearance, Hua Ying glanced at Ouyang Lingyue sarcastically, it was really a thousand-year-old scourge.
Hua Roulan glared at Gao Min'er fiercely, didn't she just take a few looks at the Prime Minister, what is there to be proud of, the Prime Minister is such a gentle person, and the Prime Minister is really interesting to you, he~ ridiculous!
Hua Roulan sneered, looked down at the wooden card in her hand, number 11, wait, wait a little longer and she will be the focus of everyone's eyes.
