Chapter 127: The Banquet Begins
Time passed little by little, fortunately the banquet was still one day away, and unfortunately Di Chulin, that is, the crown prince, had already found out who the person Bei Yingfeng asked him to find was.
In the prince's mansion, in the study, the prince asked Sheng Xiaoxing, who was sitting opposite him, "Do you say I'm going to tell him?" β
The tone of the question, the affirmative answer.
Sheng Xiaoxing drank a cup of tea, looked at the teacup and said with a smile in his eyes: "Doesn't the prince already have an answer in his heart?" β
"Yes." Di Chulin also took a sip of tea, and looked at each other with a smile in his eyes, "Since that's the case, then you tell him that tomorrow he will see the person he is looking for." β
Sheng Xiaoxing asked with bad intentions, "Don't tell him who it is?" β
Di Chulin glanced at the other party, thinking of the other party's previous actions, there was a hint of threat in Wulan's eyes, "If you dare to talk more, then you can also take your life." β
Sheng Xiaoxing said: "The prince is too worried, how dare the little one." But as he spoke, the smile in his eyes grew bigger and bigger, and then he drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and said, "The little one will leave first." β
Soon, Bei Yingfeng, who lived in the post house three days ago, received a message from Emperor Chulin.
"It's really cunning, he only told half of it, it seems that he knows who the other party is." Bei Yingfeng sat on the table, with a cold air all over his body, not angry but smiling, and commanded his entourage: "You go, give me a copy of the list from tomorrow's banquet." β
Mu Xiaochu, who was still struggling with the palace service, didn't know all this......
The next day, the long-awaited banquet finally began.
Outside the palace gate, Mu Xiaochu got off the carriage and walked to the place where the banquet was held.
This banquet was held by men and women, and it was held on a small island, which happened to be the same place where the banquet was held in the name of the crown prince.
"Could it be that the royal family is already so poor, that they actually hold banquets in the same place twice." On the way to the island by boat, Mu Xiaochu muttered.
After hearing this, Qi Ziyan smiled softly, squeezed the hand he was holding, and said, "Why don't you want to be the queen who attaches importance to the prince, and actually lends a place to receive such an important person to the prince to hold a 'family selection meeting'." β
ββ¦β¦ Well, you're right. Mu Xiaochu asked in a low voice, "Ziyan, can you let go of my hand, haven't you seen that there are people around us all the time?" β
"Who dares to see it!" After Qi Ziyan finished speaking, everyone only felt a cold gaze looking at them, and then everyone consciously looked away from them.
But there are also some who are not afraid, and the eyes that look at them are disdainful.
Oh, most of them are some elderly officials' wives.
"Daughter, let me tell you, this person, no matter when, no matter what he does, he cares about some of the environment he is in."
"Well, my daughter got it." A five-year-old girl nodded in reply.
After hearing Mu Xiaochu, "......"
She gave Qi Ziyan a look and motioned to the other party to hurry up and let go of her hand, but Qi Ziyan seemed to have misunderstood, and directly took Ma Mu Xiaochu's hand and walked in front of the mother and daughter.
The official lady thought that she had just done something wrong, and the other party was going to beat her, after all, although the other party had it in his eyes, the surroundings were cold.
Mrs. Guan looked at Qi Ziyan who came over, and stumbled, "You...... What are you doing...... This is the Imperial Palace, and I'm Mrs. Yipin, so you can't touch me! β
Qi Ziyan said with a smile in his eyes, "This lady, your hair is messed up."
Mrs. Officer, "......"
"Mother, really, mother's hair bun is really a little messy, but it's not a lot, let Run'er sort it out for the moment." The girl said in a crisp voice.
As soon as you hear it, you know it's a lively one.
Mrs. Officer, "......"
The corners of Qi Ziyan's mouth were still smiling, but the smile turned into ridicule in the eyes of Mrs. Guan, and she suddenly lost the heart to watch the show anymore, but took her daughter's hand and sped up to the shore. β
Soon, Madame Guan's boat sailed.
"You did it on purpose." Mu Xiaochu said with a smile.
Qi Ziyan asked knowingly, bowed his head and said, "Oh-what is deliberate?" β
"If you still don't admit it, you'll be so kind to say that her hair is messed up." It's just that the official lady is too much to manage, and she hasn't done it herself, and she has to talk about others.
One second he told his child what he was doing in a certain place, and the next he was told that his hair was in a mess.
Although it is not a word, it is also of a nature, so the official wife will leave quickly because of shame.
Qi Ziyan just smiled after hearing this, didn't speak, and quickly took Xiao Chu's hand and got on the boat
Because Mu Xiaochu woke up late, she let Murong Yunze and Murong Yunling come first, and she came with Qi Ziyan.
Although the Great Elder was a little reluctant, he agreed.
It's just that after seeing the red on Mu Xiaochu's neck, the look in Qi Ziyan's eyes was wrong, it was the anger that the good cabbage in the family was arched by the pig.
And the party Qi Ziyan just looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
There were only two people on board, oh wrong, and a boatman, and the retinue was left outside the island.
The scenery of the lake is very good, although it is autumn, but the surface of the lake is still crystal clear, and you can clearly see the fish swimming in it.
The breeze blows occasionally, and the years are quiet.
But the fly in the ointment is that before they could finish appreciating it, they arrived.
Looking at Mu Xiaochu's pitiful expression, Qi Ziyan helplessly pinched the other party's pink and tender cheeks, and said, "Since you want to see it like this, I will take you to sit a few more times when the banquet is over." β
β.β¦..β Mu Xiaochu, "That's embarrassing, but Ziyan, what you just said is true, how many times can you sit when you want to come back?" β
This can't be blamed on her, although it's autumn, but the scenery of the lake has not decreased but increased, and there is a handsome guy next to her, enjoy it more.
Qi Ziyan, "...... yes. β
A voice came from afar, interrupting the beautiful atmosphere, "Xiao Chu, you're finally here." β
Qi Ziyan, "......" What's going on with wanting to kill someone for no reason.
But after seeing the person coming, he kept telling himself in his heart: The other party is the brother-in-law and can't be killed, Xiao Chu is sad, at most he will be beaten.
And the result was that after this banquet, Situ Yexi was attacked and beaten violently......
After Mu Xiaochu saw the person coming, he explained embarrassedly, "It's because I got up late, so I'm here now." β
Although it was late, I came before the banquet, because the banquet started at about nine o'clock in the morning, and most people arrived at about eight o'clock, and the current time is about half past eight, so it is said that it is late.
As for the official wife before that, it is estimated that she got up late, otherwise how could her hair be messed up......
As for the others, it is estimated that they got up late like her?
Situ Yexi, "Okay, since you're already here, hurry up and find a place to sit." β
After walking not far away, I saw Murong Yunling and Murong Yunze, who were also waiting for Mu Xiaochu.
Several people sat down at the same time, unlike the previous times, Mu Xiaochu sat next to Murong Yunling, this time she was sitting next to Qi Ziyan, and her identity was the future lady regent.
And after seeing where Mu Xiao and Qi Ziyan were sitting and Qi Ziyan's identity, the official's wife was sweating on her back, and asked her husband next to her in a low voice, "That person is the regent?" β
"Why, what are you asking?" Then he reminded: "I tell you, anyone in this flame country can be offended, but the regent cannot be offended, do you know it. β
A person who became a regent at such a young age, how can his wrist be simple, so if he can not provoke it, he will not provoke it.
Mrs. Guan: What should I do if I have already offended......
But she didn't dare to say this, but retracted her head and whispered, "The concubine knows." β
I hope the other party doesn't remember her.
Soon, the envoys of other countries came one after another, and then there were a lot of gifts, as for the name of this banquet, it was ostensibly a blind date, but in fact it was a blind date!
After the gifts were offered, the envoys of the other countries took their seats in turn.
What the? You say it's neither a birthday nor a holiday, so why give a gift?
That's because of custom, in fact, these gifts are not for His Majesty today, but for a part of the dowry for the woman who fancies, if it is fancied, the emperor will give it to the other party in the name of reward, if not, it is left to the emperor as a matchmaker......
It is held every year in various countries, but this year it is just the turn of the Flame Nation.
However, this year is an exception, Princess Sibei of the Northern Underworld is also here.
A person with a hot body and a ...... temperament Cheerful woman.
"Meet Your Majesty." Princess Sibei said.
The emperor asked with a hypocritical smile on his face, "The princess is polite, I wonder if the princess is here this time?" β
Sibei said politely: "Naturally, I came to give gifts." "The subtext is to come on a blind date.
Emperor, "...... haha, I see, the princess is seated quickly, I hope you can choose a wishful husband today." β
Princess Sibei frowned, "Who said that I came to choose a husband this time, I ......"
"Sibei, step aside!" β
"Brother Huangβ"
"Stand down!"
Princess Sibei withdrew.
However, his eyes were looking around.
Then he sat honestly beside the North Stygian.
Seeing that the time was about the same, a eunuch pulled a long voice and said, "The banquet begins-"
A woman was the first to step out of her seat, and when she walked to the center, she said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing to be the first to start cheering you up." β
"Oh-," the queen asked, looking at the people below, "I don't know if you are?" β
Su Jiaojiao bowed, and said with some annoyance: "It's the fault of the courtier, the courtier is Su Jiaojiao, the daughter of Taiwei Su's family." β
The queen suddenly said, "Oh-it turned out to be the daughter of Su Aiqing's family, if she is really a water spirit, then let's start." β
Su Jiaojiao snickered in her heart, and said with a pale face: "Yes, the courtiers are ordered." β
Su Jiaojiao performed dancing, wearing a pink skirt, swaying with the rotation of her body, her body was soft, her skin was white, and the eyes of the other officials on the side were straight.
But there are some exceptions, as for whom, you should know.
It is nothing more than a relatively cold looking prince Xi Xuan of the Western Republic of China, the prince of the Northern Underworld in a black robe, and our regent Qi Ziyan.
Mu Xiaochu was an exception, her eyes were always staring at each other......
