Chapter 139: The Banquet (Thanking the Alliance Leader's 'Lost Plaster')

Wu Mingkong looked at the three words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the plaque, and couldn't help but recall many interesting things worth remembering in his mind.

For the first time, I had close contact with Fang Xiu.

Drunk for the first time.

The first time I was asked to call my father.

I felt extremely ashamed at the time.

Now it seems that there is no ......

The little empress retracted her gaze, shook her head with a sigh, and walked into Yin Renju.

It's only been a few months since I last visited, and the layout of the first floor hasn't changed much.

After Wu Mingkong came in, he found a corner and sat down at random, picked up the tea cup prepared in advance by Honglu Temple, and sipped it.

See her seated.

Honglu Siqing, Shaoqing and others dared to enter the attic and sit in their seats.

Several young officials, after sitting down, looked at the melons and fruits on the table, and felt depressed.

If Your Majesty doesn't come.

In front of the Zhou State Mission, they could also relax a little, as an ordinary feast, eating, drinking, and having fun.

But His Majesty came.

It's a different story.

Originally, many interesting things could only be held in my heart and I didn't dare to say them.

Talking about the world, even more daring.

Who knows, if you say something carelessly, will be hated by Your Majesty.

If you accidentally anger Your Majesty, it is very likely that your career will be ruined.

Adhering to the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, and saying less and making fewer mistakes, everyone sat upright and didn't say a word.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Half a cup of tea has passed.

Another carriage stopped at the door of Yin Renju.

A handsome man in a crimson brocade robe stepped out of the carriage.

Behind him is a little girl dressed as a man, with a young face, delicate and almost perfect, which makes people feel ashamed of themselves just by looking at it, and subconsciously look away.

"Fang Xiang is here!"

"Is that little girl Fang Xiang's personal maid? It's really overwhelming! ”

"Such a stunning beauty, serving the left and right, Fang Xiang is really a blessing!"

The officials of Honglu Temple cast envious glances, and then took them back.

Eyes and nose, nose and heart, staring intently at the melon and fruit snacks in front of him, I don't know what is going on in my head.

Fang Xiu walked into Yin Renju and found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and glanced at the little empress in the corner, and immediately understood what was going on.

He asked loudly, "The Zhou delegation hasn't arrived yet?" ”

Seeing Fang Xiang, he took the initiative to speak.

All the officials present stood up and saluted Fang Xiu.

"Meet Fang Xiang!"

Honglu Siqing replied: "If you return to the prime minister, according to the etiquette system, they can only enter the table after a stick of incense." ”

Fang Xiu nodded, and said loudly: "The original phase is just here to have a good time, to see what tricks the Zhou State delegation will play, you just treat the true phase as if it doesn't exist, what to do, and still do it." ”

Hearing this, the officials saluted in unison:

"Yes! Fang Xiang! ”

said this, but couldn't help complaining in my heart.

That's right...... You just stand there, when you don't exist, how can it be! ”

Fang Xiu obviously knew what they were thinking, and he didn't say anything, he walked to the corner where the little empress was, looked down at her condescendingly, and asked:

"Your Majesty is going to sit here today?"

The little empress remembered what had happened in the Heart Cultivation Hall before, and she was still a little embarrassed.

Squinted at him, and said coldly: "What? No way? ”

Fang Xiu said: "It's not, it's just that the ministers are afraid of those officials of Honglu Temple, and they are so angry that they scold their mothers." ”

The little empress said coldly: "I am sitting here, what does it have to do with them? ”

Fang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, think about it, if the first emperor sits in the corner, how would you feel. ”

Hearing this, the little empress subconsciously looked at the other corner, and suddenly felt a little creepy.

Standing up lightly, he said casually: "Then where am I sitting?" ”

Fang Xiu said: "The minister asked the shopkeeper of Yin Renju to leave a place on the second floor, so that he could see what happened on the first floor without being seen. ”

The little empress squinted at him and asked, "Do you come here often, why are you so thoughtful?" ”

Hear this.

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand and gently flicked her little braincase, and said expressionlessly:

"If you think about it again, don't blame the minister for not saving face for His Majesty!"

Not far away.

Several young officials who had been paying attention to this side all widened their eyes and showed expressions of disbelief when they saw this scene.

Followed by.

They seemed to realize something, and hurriedly withdrew their gaze, and continued to look at their noses and noses, and their noses and hearts, as if they didn't see anything.

"You!"

The little empress glared angrily, eager to bite him to death, but in front of so many officials, it was not easy to be angry, so she had to hold back her anger and squeeze out a few words from between her teeth:

"Lead the way!"

So, Fang Xiu, Wu Mingkong, Lin Wan'er, Yang Yuhuan, all four of them went to the second floor.

After they left.

The officials on the first floor, large and small, all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally gone."

A young official let out an exclamation.

Immediately, thinking of the picture he had just seen, he raised his eyebrows and poked his older colleague with his elbow.

He lowered his voice and said, "The official saw ...... just now."

Not finished yet.

The older official interrupted him.

"I'm not interested."

The young official said, "You know what this official has to say, so you're not interested. ”

The older official picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said leisurely:

"This official only knows that there is no harm in not listening to you, and there is no benefit in listening to you......"

The young official was slightly stunned, and his eyes showed a look of flickering.

After a moment, he seemed to have realized something, and he no longer thought about what he had seen before.

Instead, he sat upright and chatted with his colleagues on the other side about his parents' shortcomings.

Fang Xiu and the four of them just walked into the wing room.

The first floor has changed dramatically.

The officials held tea cups and chatted, and Yin Renju was full of a cheerful atmosphere.

The little empress found a window seat and sat down, subconsciously glanced at Yang Yuhuan, didn't say anything, but was a little curious.

I don't remember that Fang Xiu, the traitor, had the habit of going out with a maid.

Why do you want to bring this little girl today?

It seems to have noticed the little empress's eyes.

Yang Yuhuan's face suddenly showed guilt, and he said weakly:

"The slave family heard that there will be a pianist at this banquet, so they pestered Xiangye and brought the slave family, but they didn't expect to disturb my sister's tryst with Xiangye......"

Hear this.

The little empress's fair face was flushed, and she said angrily: "I am also here to attend the banquet, who wants to have a tryst with this traitor!" ”

Yang Yuhuan looked at the little empress, then at Fang Xiu, thought about it, and didn't speak again.

Fang Xiu carried a chair and sat beside the little empress, almost next to her, repaying his grievances with virtue, and asked:

"What does Your Majesty want to eat, the minister will order?"

The little empress looked at him, opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she heard a noisy sound from downstairs.

Through the window, I looked down, and sure enough, I saw that the Zhou delegation had arrived.

After removing the guards, a group of more than a dozen people, all wearing brocade clothes, looked a little noble.

The little empress's eyes searched among the dozen or so people, and after a while, she locked on to a certain figure, stretched out her delicate little hand, pointed over, and asked curiously: "She is Li Yingyue?" ”

Fang Xiu followed his gaze and saw a familiar figure, thought about it, and replied:

"I'm not sure."

The little empress turned her head to look at Fang Xiu, there was a trace of doubt in her eyes, and she asked, "Why?" ”

Fang Xiu said: "There is a maid beside Li Yingyue, after dressing up, she is six or seven points similar to her, and the minister can't tell the difference, this is Li Yingyue, or the maid." ”

"And this kind of operation ......"

The little empress was stunned for a moment, speechless.

Downstairs.

The officials of Honglu Temple and the Zhou envoy exchanged two words of greeting, and then sat back in their seats.

There's nothing new about a banquet like this.

The process is basically fixed.

Let's talk a few things down to business, then raise a glass and enjoy the music and dance.

After the three rounds of drinking, it is a small game that is often played at the banquet, such as throwing pots and flying flowers.

By the time the game is over, the poor amount of alcohol is basically unconscious, and the person with a good amount of alcohol has also realized the lake.

After that, they went back to their own homes and looked for their mothers.

This time, the Zhou delegation came to Chang'an for the marriage matter, and there was really nothing to discuss.

After the document is sent, as long as both parties agree, it can be finalized quickly.

Therefore, the stage of talking about business is quickly skipped.

Immediately afterwards, it was the dancing girl and Oiran of Yin Renju who appeared.

Dance, music.

The first glass of wine is gone.

The end of the song.

Wei Xinglai, the envoy of the Great Zhou Mission and a member of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly spoke:

"Zhou and Qian, the two countries are both countries of etiquette and music, and today's banquet should be a meeting of friends with music."

"Mingyue, you play a song for all of you, so that you can appreciate the style of my Great Zhou musician."

It wasn't loud, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear it.

The voice fell.

The woman in a beautiful green dress got up slowly, saluted Wei Xinglai and the officials present, and said softly: "The little woman is not good at the piano, if she disturbs the peace of your adults, she will look at Haihan." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the stage and sat down behind the guqin.

A pair of slender soft wattles are gently placed on the strings.

With a gentle stroke of the bare hands, the beautiful and agile sound of the piano flows out from between the fingers.

It is like the gurgling water in the mountain stream flowing through the heart, graceful and moving, soft and quiet, soft and comfortable.

When everyone heard the sound of the piano, they all slowly closed their eyes.

Their expressions were intoxicated, as if they had heard the most beautiful music in the world.

Unconsciously.

The end of the song.

The crowd was still immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

Seeing this, Wei Xinglai had a surging smile on his face and spoke again.

"I heard that Qianguo is the birthplace of the guqin, and the study of music must be far better than my Da Zhou, but I don't know if I can appreciate it today, the style of Da Qian's music ......"

As soon as this remark came out.

The officials of Honglu Temple, who were still immersed in the beautiful music, were all sinking in their hearts.

Subconsciously looked at Wei Xinglai, and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

After all......

In the whole big Qian, I'm afraid I can't find a musician who can compare to this bright moon girl!
