readx;? The Queen Mother's birthday, a banquet of hundreds of people, arranged in the largest Rongle Hall in the palace, the reason why it is Rongle Hall Another reason is that Rongle Hall is the closest to the Queen Mother's bedroom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one dared to slack off, the Rongle Hall was full of people early, the ladies and ladies occupied one side, the sons and young men occupied one side, and the ministers of civil and military affairs occupied one side, each discussing what had happened recently and the birthday gift prepared by their own families.
And those housekeepers and ladies, all of them are dressed in brocade clothes, jewels and jade, when they are quiet, they are like delicate flowers shining on the water, their actions are like weak willows supporting the wind, their eyes are full of autumn waves, and their posture is elegant and delicate, but they are missing a bone, they don't look at their faces, they look like they are carved out of a mold from a distance, lifeless, and after looking at them for a long time, they will also make people feel bored in beautiful women.
There are not a few opportunities for men and women to be in the same hall in the palace a year, this is not just a birthday banquet, many young ladies can take this opportunity to meet their future husbands or wives, and those who do not have a marriage contract can also take advantage of this banquet to have a secret blind date, if you look at the right eye, you can find an opportunity to let the emperor marry in the future. If the ladies are favored by any prince, it is even more supreme honor, so the ladies are all waiting to show their talents.
The ladies gathered together in twos and threes to chat, but their eyes fell on the prince or the housekeeper boy opposite. When the two eyes bumped into each other, they moved away in panic and continued to chat with the woman next to them.
Xiling Prince Xiling Yu and Princess Xiling Yuehua walked to the table next to them with wine glasses, and looked at Qin Junxian with a cold expression on their faces, "His Royal Highness King Qin is really a blessing, this princess is worthy of being the first beauty of Dachu, she is really beautiful and beautiful!" The mockery in the tone was obvious.
Xiling Yu's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly, and for a while, people stopped their topics and quietly looked at the four people who spoke, and the hall instantly fell silent.
Qin Junxian looked up at Xiling Yu with a smug face and Xiling Yuehua with a smile on his face and didn't say a word, but his hands under the table couldn't help but clench.
Princess Yuehua looked thoughtful, looked at Qin Junxian in front of her without squinting, and then held the wine glass in one hand, walked up to Yin Ziyue and smiled, and then said: "Hehe, brother Huang, you forgot, he is now the king of Jiangnan." However, the princess is indeed very beautiful, and she has the same charm as our first dancer in Xiling. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped, this princess of Xiling, who is not afraid of trouble, is really bold enough, on such an important occasion, so many people dare to expose other people's shortcomings, isn't this looking for death?
Everyone looked at Qin Junxian quietly, only to see that his face was full of anger, and then at the woman next to her, her beautiful face was crimson, and her eyes could spew fire, her apricot eyes glared angrily, her chest fell together, and she raised her head to look at the woman who was talking. But the culprit Xi Lingyu was relaxed and happy, and he was even more indulgent to his sister.
With the encouragement of her brother, Xiling Yuehua said even more boldly: "I heard that the princess is versatile, I don't know if the dancing skills are as outstanding as our first dancing queen, which makes people forget to see it and linger? I don't know if I am lucky enough to see it today? The princess doesn't mind, right?"
"Yuehua, Hugh is rude, Princess Qin, oh no, Princess Jiangnan, the princess is now the wife of King Jiangnan, how can she dance in front of so many people? It seems that he is blaming his sister, but who can't hear the ridicule in Prince Yu's words, comparing the wife of a prince of a country with a dancing girl who sells his art, it is a naked slap in the face, if Qin Junxian swallows this breath, then he is a coward, and he will be laughed at by the world and can't even protect his wife, but if he is angry, the current Qin Junxian no longer has that confidence. Xiling Yu was obviously provoking, and it seemed that he didn't intend to let go of this down-and-out prince like this.
But they forgot that this prince has always had the best face, and he was slapped in the face in such an open and honest way, not to mention being blamed by the emperor and the queen mother, even if he killed him, he had to bring back his face.
Qin Junxian stared at the wine glass in front of him motionlessly, just when everyone thought he was going to endure it, Qin Junxian glanced at Yin Ziyue, who was aggrieved and wanted to shed tears beside him, picked up the cup on the table and drank it all, and then clenched it with his big palms, the wine glass was pinched and shattered, and the porcelain shavings slipped down his fingers. Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and the two brothers and sisters in Xiling were also shocked, but when they thought that they were the prince of a country, and now that Qin Junxian was suppressed by the emperor, they were relieved, and they raised their heads and looked at Qin Junxian calmly with an angry face, and Helian Tu and Yeluping on the other table looked like they were watching a good show.
Qin Junxian slowly stood up, walked around the table and walked to Xiling Yu's side, grabbed Xiling Yu's neckline and said faintly: "Prince Yu, your mouth is very stinky." ”
Xiling Yu was pulled so that his face was a little unbearable, and he said indignantly: "This is how your prince of Dachu treats the envoys of other countries?"
"Since Prince Yu knows that he is a minister when he comes to my Da Chu, he should keep his mouth clean and don't challenge this king. Tell you, this king is down, and it is not your turn to be ridiculed by a little prince of Xiling Kingdom, if Prince Yu is smart, he should know that his situation is not as good as me, the degraded king of Jiangnan. Qin Junxian gritted his teeth and said, if he hadn't cared about his identity, and today was the Queen Mother's birthday, he would have raised his sword and killed Xiling Yu a long time ago.
Xiling Yu was blocked and had nothing to say, his face was blue and purple with anger, and he wanted to kill the person in front of him, but he also understood that his situation was indeed inferior. He didn't expect this Jiangnan King to be so easily provoked, he was just trying to do it, but he didn't expect it to be so ugly, and he lost his face, he couldn't help but blame his sister for too many things, and his eyes skimmed to Xiling Yuehua who was in a daze, his eyes were full of disgust.
Xiling Yuehua wanted to shed tears aggrievedly, is my brother blaming himself? Turning his head to look at Qin Junxian with an angry face, he said in a somewhat unkind tone: "King Jiangnan, you are too careful, I just said a few words, why did the prince make a move, although our Xiling is small, but we came all the way to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, the prince actually treated him like this, is this the hospitality of your Da Chu?"
As soon as these words came out, most of the people present were offended, how could the hospitality of Da Chu be commented on by the princess of a small country? Besides, not all of the people who came to Da Chu were as arrogant and domineering as their two brothers and sisters.
Everyone's pity and sympathy for the brainless princess suddenly vanished.
If you don't die, you won't die, and it's fitting to describe this princess Yuehua, who thinks she's smart but is actually stupid like a pig.
Qin Junxian was obviously not a master who would pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and after glancing at the woman in front of him, he said disdainfully: "Princess Yuehua, is it? You are not qualified to comment on the princess of this king, but you are a princess of a country, and you have come all the way to my Dachu to find a man, but you are not as good as the prostitute of the Qinglou! Your father, queen and mother should not know, otherwise how could this kind of thing happen, maybe I would have pinched you to death a long time ago, lest you come out and be embarrassed." ”
Poof!
Wasn't it because the Xiling Emperor and Empress Xiling allowed and instructed the princess to come to Dachu? No one present could see the intention of the Xiling princess, but she was a legitimate envoy, and she was originally here to make peace with her relatives.
Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts: King Jiangnan, you are too poisonous to speak! The words are too ugly, but they are women! However, King Jiangnan, you continue, I love to listen.
Especially the women present are shy and proud, and as women, they love to see others make a fool of themselves, especially women who are more beautiful and noble than themselves. They didn't dare to talk about the king and princess of Jiangnan, but when it came to the princess of a small country, they didn't have any pressure at all.
Xiling Yuehua was ashamed and annoyed, a small face was aggrieved, looking at the woman who was staring at her and whispering, tears flew out, and her eyes looked at the man in front of her and said resentfully: "You, you would say that about me!" The tone was like a little daughter-in-law who had been abandoned.
Oh!
Everyone sighed for a while, it turns out that she likes the king of Jiangnan? This is too bloody, why should she use this way to get people's attention, her brain is too bad, humiliating other people's concubines is not a slap in the face of the king of Jiangnan? She doesn't know that she is both prosperous and lossy? Now she makes herself ugly!
But it seems that the princess of a small country doesn't know this truth, and it's normal!
The crowd nodded, looking clear.
Hypocritical, too pretentious.
Yin Ziyue looked at Xiling Yuehua with disgust and resentment, if her eyes could kill, I am afraid that Xiling Yuehua would have died a long time ago.
Xiling Yuehua never thought that things would develop like this, didn't she come this time just for him? This man said that marriage was just an expedient measure, and he would say that he was so unbearable for this stinky woman, how could she not be angry, but more sad.
Seeing that things were getting more and more tricky, Qin Yongyi, the king of war, and Qin Junyu, the king of Yu, who had been pretending not to pay attention, stepped forward and pulled away a few people.
"Third brother, what's going on, why are you all getting together?" the sixth prince, King Yu, looked unclear.
Insidious, too insidious, how embarrassing do you make people embarrassed to say it again.
Everyone turned their attention to the war king Qin Yongyi, but they saw that they were indifferent to their own affairs.
Xiling Yu glared angrily at King Yu and King Zhan, secretly annoyed that he was too angry, so many people wanted to see the joke and were indifferent, but he stood up.
Helian Tu and Ye Luping, who were sitting next to him, stepped forward to persuade, "Everyone has something to say, don't hurt the harmony, the Queen Mother is coming soon, everyone sit down quickly, and focus on the overall situation." ”
"That's it, Prince Yu is also joking, don't be angry. Although Helian Tu's words were persuasion, he invisibly offended Xiling Yu again, but fortunately, although Xiling Yu was impulsive, he still had a little brain, and he knew that he would suffer if he continued to fight. With a soft snort, he turned back into his chair, picked up the flask on the table, poured himself a glass, and drank it all. His brothers all sat down, and Xiling Yuehua didn't dare to make trouble no matter how wronged she was, so she had to sit down and bury her head low.
Rong Le Tang has returned to its previous hustle and bustle.
