Emperor and Empress Fanwai 13: Princess Danhui
Princess Danhui came quickly.
On the fifth day after the imperial court received the letter, the Shantuo envoys entered Beijing.
Since the Spring Festival, Shangjing has been very lively, and when I learned that there were envoys from the feudal kingdoms, the streets were full of people waiting to see the excitement, and it was even more crowded.
The carriage entered Beijing, and Princess Danhui's car was even more eye-catching.
Bright colors, exaggerated decorations, horse-drawn carriages passing by, and a faint fragrant breeze blowing.
The people craned their necks to look out, just as the breeze blew the small window, opening a corner of Princess Danhui's appearance.
Probably sensing the enthusiasm of the people outside, Princess Danhui glanced out the window.
The people exclaimed, "This princess of Shantuo is so beautiful."
Those who didn't see it widened their eyes even more: "Where is it beautiful? Why didn't you see it?"
"Those eyes and nose are different from our Qi people, and they are really amorous."
「……」
With everyone's exclamation, the carriage slowly drove into the post house.
All the chariots and envoys disappeared from sight, and the people left without getting enough of it.
The courtier sent by Li Jingmo to greet him was Zhou Jinliang, who stood at the door of the post house with a jade fan in his hand and a smile.
When Princess Danhui got off the carriage, she leaned over slightly and said, "The princess has worked hard all the way, and Weichen came to say hello on behalf of His Majesty. A reception banquet has been prepared in the palace, and after the princess bathes and changes her clothes, she can go directly to the palace."
Princess Danhui's breathtaking and charming eyes swept over Zhou Jinliang, and Ying Ying bowed: "Lord Lao."
The voice is also like a nightingale, pleasant to the ear.
Zhou Jinliang's eyes narrowed, then he smiled and said, "Weichen is waiting for the princess outside the post house."
After speaking, he arched his hand again.
After he left, Princess Danhui took the maid into the house.
Yicheng had already prepared everything, and Princess Danhui bathed and changed her clothes under the service of the maid, and re-decorated her face.
She looked at herself in the mirror, and her beautiful eyes revealed some timidity: "Sister Ying, will the Emperor of Great Qi leave me?"
The maid who dotted the shape of Princess Danhui said lightly when she heard this: "The princess is born so beautiful, which man in the world will not be tempted?"
When Princess Danhui heard this, she bit her lower lip lightly, and the look in her eyes was also a little sad.
If any man in the world would be tempted, why did the king have no affection for her, but instead sent her to Daqi like a commodity?
The maid dressed up her face, put on her clothes for Princess Danhui, and put on the sachet on her.
Princess Danhui got up, and with every step she took, a crisp bell sounded.
Zhou Jinliang waited for a while, saw the other party come out, and just glanced at it and invited the other party to get into the sedan chair.
In the palace, Ginkgo is also grooming Zhao Fuling.
After she put Feng Hai *** in a bun, she looked at Zhao Fuling in the mirror and said, "Niangniang's complexion is getting better and better, and at today's dinner, she will definitely surpass that Princess Danhui."
Zhao Fuling laughed when she heard this, she patted the back of Ginkgo's hand and said, "I heard that it was just a teenage girl, what are we comparing to a little girl?"
Besides, she is after a country, why is there any need to fight with the little girl?
The little girl doesn't enter the palace, and she is not a concubine who really needs to compete for favor, so there is no need to put this matter on the table.
Ginkgo smiled embarrassedly, and Peach said on the side, "Niangniang's mother is in the world, so she doesn't have to fight with anyone. But that princess Danhui is said to be the first beauty in Shantuo."
"How big is Shantuo Kingdom?" Peony muttered, "I'm afraid there are only about two people in Beijing, and the first beauties there can also find a few in our Beijing." In Fengyi Academy, there is a girl from the Yuan family who is very good-looking!"
Zhao Fuling listened to the lively talk of the little girls, and the smile on the corner of her lips never fell.
It wasn't until Li Jingmo came in that everyone quieted down.
Li Jingmo looked at Zhao Fuling in full costume, love appeared in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand first.
"Let's go."
Zhao Fuling also bowed:
"Let's go."
The two went out side by side, and Xiao Yue looked at their backs and muttered, "Your Majesty and Niangniang are so affectionate."
Peony whispered, "Then Princess Danhui still wants to enter the palace to share the favor of her mother? It's whimsical."
Tao'er coughed lightly, and the two little girls stopped talking.
Several people hurriedly followed Zhao Lingling out and arrived at the banquet venue first.
At today's reception banquet, Li Jingmo also invited ministers above the third rank in the DPRK and the central government by the way, and asked these people to bring their families.
Therefore, the whole banquet was particularly lively.
When the two entered, there was a lot of noise in the temple, and everyone was talking. After hearing the shouts of the imperial eunuch, he instantly quieted down and hurriedly knelt down to salute.
Li Jingmo led Zhao Fuling to the main seat, and the two sat down together, and the others got up.
Xu Yingrong bowed her head to Zhao Fuling, and the two met their eyes and smiled.
When the emperor and queen came, the envoys of Shantuo Kingdom entered the audience first. After a few polite greetings, the envoy said that his Danhui Duke was going to perform a dance for the emperor.
Li Jingmo nodded, and as the music sounded, a woman with a delicate and graceful figure slowly entered the field.
She covered her face with a scarf, leaving only a pair of charming eyes.
The clothes on his body were light and bold, revealing his white arms and ankles. Even, those small and cute feet are bare, with bells tied to their ankles, and every step brings out a crisp and pleasant bell sound.
Daqi has never seen such a woman, many courtiers are embarrassed to look at it, although those courtiers are itching in their hearts, but Li Jingmo did not dare to look at it directly.
As for Li Jingmo, he frowned slightly, and many ideas related to conspiracy design had already crossed in his heart.
Among all the people present, there was only Zhao Fuling who watched the dance openly.
Xu Yingrong glanced at Princess Danhui a few times shyly, and then looked at Zhao Fuling, with some worry in her expression.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Fuling watched it with relish.
It wasn't until Princess Danhui walked forward with the music, her dancing posture became more and more beautiful, and her eyes looking at Li Jingmo became more and more revealing and ashamed, that Zhao Fuling gradually came back to her senses.
Oh, I almost forgot that this little girl was here for her husband.
Zhao Fuling sat up straight, wanting to see what tricks this little girl could play?
Princess Danhui arrived at the table of the emperor and queen, and her wrist was slightly flipped, and she flexibly and skillfully took the wine jug from the handmaiden's hand. Then he turned his body to the table, leaned forward, and added wine to Li Jingmo's wine glass.
This was originally a flirtatious/flirtatious action, but as soon as the wine jug was tilted, Li Jingmo quickly covered the wine glass.
His actions made everyone unexpected, and Princess Danhui was even more surprised.
Accidentally, the wine in the pot poured out, and a small half splashed on the back of Li Jingmo's hand.
Princess Danhui, who was still ashamed to speak, turned white in an instant, and almost immediately knelt on the ground.
She shrunk her shoulders and said in a trembling voice, "Please forgive your majesty!"
As she knelt down, the music in the hall stopped, and there was an eerie silence around her.
