Chapter 18: The Queen Mother's Birthday Banquet 2
Now Zhang Mengjie knows that she can't be silent anymore: "This time the queen mother's birthday this time the palace specially prepared a gift, but unfortunately there are some things missing, this gift is not perfect, so this gift in the palace can only be dedicated to the queen mother tomorrow, the queen mother will not blame the daughter-in-law, right?" ”
Zhao Meidao: "If you don't have it, you won't have it, if you don't know what reason you will use tomorrow to prevaricate, wouldn't it be more embarrassing." ”
Murong Xue said: "The mourning family believes that they will be able to receive the queen's gift tomorrow, no matter what it is, as long as the heart reaches the mourning family, they will like it." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Don't worry, tomorrow the queen mother will be able to receive the gift of the daughter-in-law, since everyone doesn't want to disperse today, everyone here is full of poetry and books, the literary style must be unusual, the palace occasionally has a couplet, if there is anyone here who can make the next couplet, the palace will personally teach the palace to dance for you, how?" ”
Yu Xizhao said: "Interesting, if someone makes a couplet, since the queen will teach Gong'e to jump, why don't you dance herself, doesn't this seem more sincere?" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Don't hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince, this palace only knows the melody of dance music but can't dance, if this palace dances, I'm afraid that it will sweep everyone's interest." Guys, would you like to give it a try? ”
Yu Xilang said: "Isn't it just a pair, what's so difficult about this, Brother Wuwang is the pair of our Yuxi Kingdom, you don't want to be too simple, don't be right for everyone then." ”
Yu Xiyao said: "Eighth royal brother, Hugh is presumptuous! ”
Yu Xiyao's reprimand Yu Xilang just pursed his mouth, but he didn't say anything and sat down.
Zhang Mengjie saw that everyone was eager to hear Yu Xilang's words, and was about to speak, when she heard someone say: "It's late, it's late!" ”
Hearing the voice, I saw two people entering the banquet hall, the one in front of him was in his twenties, with slender eyes, obviously a pair of Danfeng eyes, thick eyebrows, and smooth skin like jade, Zhang Mengjie only wanted to say at first sight: What a demon! is also a white gown, which is different from the moon white of Mingyue Gongzi, but Zhang Mengjie still likes Mingyue Gongzi's fairy-like temperament.
The man behind him looked like he was in his thirties, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, like a general's physique, and carrying a package in his hand.
The man who walked in front said: "Dongfang Jue of Changyi City has seen the Emperor of Longcheng!" I've seen the Queen Mother of Dragon City! Dongfang Jue is late, I hope not to be surprised. ”
Long Tingxiao said: "The prince of the East has worked hard all the way, please take a seat." ”
After Dongfang Jue took his seat, he said: "Just now, this king seems to have heard that someone wants to pair up, right?" ”
Yu Xizhao said: "The prince of the East has good ears...... Yu Xizhao told the story of the incident.
After listening to Yu Xizhao's words, Dongfang Jue said: "Oh, so this king really wants to know what this Shanglian is?" In this way, if no one can really get this couplet, this king has a newly created sword in Changyi City, this sword is made of a hundred years of black iron, it can be said that the iron is sharpened like clay, it is the most satisfactory sword of this king over the years, this king will give this sword to Longcheng, if anyone is out of the next couplet, this king will give him this sword! ”
Zhang Mengjie couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with Dongfang Jue's words after listening to him, this Shanglian seems to be what she wants to make, this condition should also be opened by her, and this Dongfang Jue doesn't seem to give a gift, maybe this sword is a gift? If that's the case, wouldn't he slap Long Cheng in the face if he gave Murong Xue a gift like this!
Yu Xizhao said: "Since the prince of the East is so hearted, the king of this book also gambles with the 'Jade Xuanjian' of the Jade Yarn Country." ”
Yu Xiyao heard Yu Xizhao gambling with the Jade Xuan Sword and exclaimed, "Second Brother Wang, how can you gamble with the 'Jade Xuan Sword'?" ”
Yu Xizhao said: "Why not, don't forget that everything that my father said this time is up to the crown prince." ”
Yu Xiyao saw that Yu Xizhao was so persistent, so he could only shut his mouth helplessly.
At this time, the man who came with Dongfang Jue said: "In this case, shouldn't Long Cheng also come out with some sincerity?" ”
Murong Xue said: "Okay, the mourning family will gamble with the night pearl of the East China Sea!" ”
Zhang Mengjie originally just wanted to adjust the atmosphere, but she didn't expect things to develop like this: "Queen Mother, this is not good!" ”
Murong Xue said: "It's okay, you just have to take care of your uplink." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "This palace just wants everyone to have fun, are you gambling too much, this palace hopes that you will take back the bets." ”
Dongfang Jue said: "The bet has been made, how can there be any reason to take it back, could it be that you have no confidence in Shanglian?" ”
Zhang Mengjie really didn't dare to ensure 100%, after all, this couplet was handed down by the ancients, so he could only helplessly say: "In this case, the upper couplet of this palace is: Qiangogua, Kun gossip, eight-eight sixty-four hexagrams, and the hexagram has been decided." ”
Zhang Mengjie saw that everyone was meditating hard and knew that she should have passed this level, and her nervous mood finally relaxed a little, to be honest, if someone really came out, she really didn't know what would happen to Zhao Meiren if she asked Murong Xue to hand over the Night Pearl of the East China Sea, the key is that this occasion is related to the face of the entire Dragon City after all.
As time passed minute by minute, someone finally couldn't hold back and said: "Can the queen know who this couplet is, and can the queen know the next couplet?" ”
Mengjie said: "The palace also forgot who made this couplet, but at that time I thought it was very interesting, and no one came out of it, so I wrote it down, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask this person?" ”
Yu Xizhao said: "The person who can make such a pair must have his superiority, and if he can see the previous side, he will be able to gain some knowledge." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "I'm afraid this will disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince, this palace really doesn't remember who came out of this upper link, I don't know if anyone here can make the next link?" ”
Zhang Mengjie knew the answer when she saw everyone's sad faces: "So who else is willing to perform on stage for the queen mother's birthday?" ”
After a while, no one took action, Zhang Mengjie had no choice but to say: "Otherwise, if His Royal Highness the Prince, the princes and the envoys are not yet happy, what kind of talent do you want to see, and if there is anyone here who can and he is willing to perform on stage, how about letting him cheer everyone up?" ”
Dongfang Jue said: "This king is interested in the birthday gift you prepared for the Queen Mother tomorrow, in order to catch up with the Queen Mother's birthday, this king has not had a good rest, and now I really feel a little tired, this king will go back to rest today, you can do it yourself." ”
After speaking, he motioned to the man who came with him to open the package in his hand and said, "This is a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, and please accept it with a smile." ”
Inside the package was a coral, which was almost ten centimeters long, and they knew that they had put a lot of thought into it when they saw the freshness of the coral.
After receiving the coral, Dongfang Jue said again: "This sword king has not brought it with him, so he can only bring it tomorrow." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "It's okay, this link is limited to attending the queen mother's birthday banquet tomorrow, so you can think about it again today." ”
Dongfang Jue was about to leave, and the envoys present also got up to leave for the same reason, and Long Tingxiao saw this and sent them out of the palace according to their wishes.
