Chapter 484: The two sides confront
Li Luobing didn't care so much about Tuoba Lie's arrangement, but Xu Chen and Chu Ruoyan took this matter very seriously.
Xu Chen was because he could accompany Li Luobing, and Chu Ruoyan was because he was too far away from Li Luobing, he originally thought that if he was close to Li Luobing, he could explain what happened yesterday, but now he didn't even have a chance to explain.
Chu Ruoyao's eyes kept drifting to the opposite side, and Guo Dong next to him could only remind him secretly when he saw it.
"Lord, don't look at the other side anymore, now the princess is sitting near you, what if your expression is seen by the princess and the emperor?"
Guo Dong is right, next to Chu Ruo is Tuoba Luoxia's location, and next to Tuoba Luoxia is already Tuoba Lie's dragon chair.
After listening to Guo Dong's reminder, Chu Ruoyan could only temporarily restrain her expression.
After the people from all over the world entered the palace one after another, Tuoba Lie saw that the time was about the same, so he nodded to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately stepped forward to announce the beginning of the banquet.
After the feast began, the first thing to do was to say some words of blessing.
"It's my honor to gather in Izumo Kingdom today, our Izumo Kingdom Princess Tuoba is about to get married, and this banquet is held before we get married, so that we can all get acquainted with each other, don't be inhibited, eat and drink well at this banquet, and we will meet any requirements."
Tuoba Lie's words are very beautiful, but no one dares to make any random requests as he said, everyone knows what kind of character Tuoba Lie is, if Tuoba Lie is provoked by some small things, Tuoba Lie will definitely be flawed.
"Come on, play music." After Tuobari finished speaking, he looked at the people below with very satisfied expressions, and then clapped his hands, and Izumo Province's own song and dance troupe walked up and began to dance in the center of the main hall.
Everyone was engrossed in admiring the dance of Izumo Province, and only Li Luobing was distracted.
From time to time, she would compare the people who were dancing now with the song and dance troupe of Mingyue Country, and in comparison, she felt that Mingyue Country was much more powerful than Izumo Country, and it was not in vain to waste their previous training.
"Princess Kakura doesn't like the dance of Izumo Province?" Xu Chen noticed Li Luobing's expression and asked in a low voice.
Li Luobing smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm just not interested in these things." The sound of the conversation between the two was very quiet, so no one noticed all this, except for Chu Ruoyao
Chu Ruoyu sat upright on the surface, looking like his eyes were watching the dance troupe in the arena, but through those people, he looked at Li Luobing's position, and happened to see Xu Chen and Li Luobing talking intimately, which made him clench his fists tightly.
"Don't be angry, this is at the banquet." After Guo Dong saw Chu Ruoyao's fist, he whispered again to persuade him.
Every time the prince encounters something related to the princess, he will temporarily lose his mind. If I don't persuade him, I'm afraid he will stand up directly.
"I know it's at a banquet, and I'm in my own hands." Although Chu Ruoyan said it to Guo Dong, it was more like a warning to herself.
He told himself over and over again that now is not the time, now is definitely not the time to conflict with Xu Chen, he must find the most suitable time to explain all the previous misunderstandings clearly.
After a dance, applause broke out in the main hall, and everyone praised the song and dance troupe of Izumo Province.
"It's worthy of the Izumo country, the Izumo country is so rich, and even the dance of the song and dance troupe is so beautiful."
"That's right, presumably no one in this hall can stand out!"
Everyone's echo made Tuoba Lie feel very useful, and he deserved everyone's praise.
"Where, where, where ......" Although Tuoba Lie was very modest in his mouth, but now he hoped that everyone would praise him without stopping.
After some boasting, the atmosphere of the whole banquet reached *. After Tuoba Lie had spoken a few more words, he began to toast each other.
This banquet is a process of getting to know each other, so there are not so many rules. Li Luobing sat in front of her seat, and has been trying to minimize her sense of existence, what she hopes most now is that this banquet will end quickly, even if it doesn't end, no one will come to toast her, otherwise she won't be able to hide.
As a result, she was afraid of something, and the three concubines who came to him before came to Li Luobing's side at this time.
"Since the emperor said that the banquet should communicate with more people, I will come to toast Princess Xie Wu today, yesterday we may have acted too recklessly to leave a bad impression on Princess Xie Wei." Concubine Ping and the three of them raised their wine glasses and said to Li Luobing.
Li Luobing was very surprised by their apology, these three people were clearly deliberately finding fault yesterday, and now they came to apologize to themselves and said that they didn't mean it yesterday, there must be something wrong with it.
Just when Li Luobing was dealing with the three of them, Xu Chen, the prince of Northern Xinjiang, had quietly left his seat.
"Where is he going?" Li Luobing didn't pay attention to this matter, but Chu Ruoyan noticed this, and he watched Xu Chen leave this hall and walk outside.
"My subordinates don't know." Guo Dong shook his head.
Now this time can be said to be quite free, some people are tired of sitting in the main hall, and it is a matter of course to go out to breathe, and Tuoba Lie is completely blind to these.
"Let's go, let's go up and have a look." Chu Ruoyao stood up, glanced at Tuoba Lie, and found that he still didn't react, so he walked out with Guo Dong following Xu Chen's footsteps, and after they went out, they found that Xu Chen was following behind a woman.
This woman is a princess from another small country, and because of the low power of her country, she is not noticed, and she stays very bored in the palace, so she comes out to breathe.
Xu Chen looked left and right as he walked, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he took three steps and two steps to catch up with the princess in front of him and stopped her.
When he stopped the princess, Chu Ruoyan and Guo Dong also stopped, hiding in the dark to observe Xu Chen's every move.
"What is the prince of Northern Xinjiang going to do?"
This king doesn't know, let's wait and see what happens! ”
"Princess," Xu Chen said, stopping the woman, "why did the princess come out alone?" Don't you have a maid around to serve you? ”
After the princess here looked up and saw that it was the prince of the northern frontier, the vigilant look on her face eased a little. Xu Chen is already very good at disguise, coupled with his kind face, it is easy to be confused if he is a little gentle with other women, including this woman.
"I just want to come out and breathe, I'm not used to staying in this Izumo country." The woman whispered.
On the first day she came to Izumo Country, she was completely ignored, not only was there no one to receive her, but even the location of the embassy was found by herself, and the embassy room was quite small compared to other countries.
Although she was not satisfied in her heart, but there was nothing she could do, who made her country so poor? If it weren't for Tuobalie's decree, she wouldn't even know the time of the feast, let alone the servants she brought with her.
"It's true that I'm not used to it, although our northern Xinjiang is very close to Izumo Province, it's hard to adapt here."
"yes, that's right!" Xu Chen's words immediately narrowed the distance between him and her, and the princess completely relaxed her vigilance.
"Yes, no wonder the princess will come out, if you don't mind, why don't you take you around this palace? Anyway, it's still early to return to the main hall, and no one will blame you if you go back before then. ”
"I can't ask for it." The woman looked at Xu Chen's face and nodded a little shyly.
My own country is very inconspicuous, and it is not the main thing to come to the banquet, but the main task is to find a person who can marry me at this banquet, preferably if the other party is a prince, so that I can help my own country.
Just when she was worried, Xu Chen happened to appear in front of her, she was handsome and had a strong national background, which made her immediately moved, and she followed Xu Chen into the distance without hesitation.
"Why do I always feel that the behavior of this prince of the Northern Frontier seems familiar?" Chu Ruoyao thought hard.
It was the same when he met Li Luobing before, Li Luobing said that the prince of Northern Xinjiang was taking her to visit the palace of the Izumo Kingdom, maybe the prince of Northern Xinjiang already had some thoughts about Li Luobing at that time, but his appearance suddenly disrupted his plan.
"Go, call Luo Bing here." Chu Ruoyan stared at Xu Chen's actions while commanding Guo Dong next to him.
"What? Calling the princess here? But what if the princess refuses to come? ”
Chu Ruoyi's request made it difficult for Guo Dong, and now they no longer know what the princess thinks of King Yan in her heart, and they have no way to guarantee whether they come or not.
"If you don't come, tell her that I want to tell her something, and I won't bother her again."
"Yes." Guo Dong could only take the order and returned to the main hall again.
When he returned to the main hall, Li Luobing finally sent the three concubines away.
"This banquet is really tiring, I shouldn't have come to it if I knew it would be like this." Li Luobing said after pouring a large sip of tea into his mouth.
Qiao Su saw Guo Dong's figure before she could speak, she gave Guo Dong a look, meaning to ask him what he was doing, but Guo Dong didn't pay attention to her, but walked straight to Li Luobing.
"Princess Jiewu, my prince has something to tell the princess."
"I don't have anything to say to him." After seeing Guo Dong, Li Luobing knew that it was Chu Ruoya who came to find her again, and she didn't want to see Chu Ruoyao's face at all now, so she directly refused.
