Chapter 307: Palace Banquet
It's night, Chonghua Palace.
The red phoenix lamppost is in a continuous line, and the unicorn chariot swims like a fish.
In the soothing and melodious sound of classical musical instruments, there are constantly richly dressed men, women and children riding the unicorn chariot into the bizarre Chonghua Palace, and from time to time you will hear sighs of surprise and excited low screams.
Tonight, His Majesty set up a banquet to invite the envoys of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty basically received the circular letter for the banquet, and according to the size of the grade, they could bring one person to three people.
Therefore, the people who are fortunate enough to participate in this feast as relatives are all rejoicing.
This was their first time entering the palace, and what they saw and heard along the way made them as curious as three-year-olds.
As time went on, so did the people who were invited.
In the corner of one side, when Yutai Fengying was sitting next to Shen Wansan and secretly looking at the surrounding crowd, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Shen Huishou, why are you sitting in such a remote position?"
Yutai Fengying was secretly shocked in her heart, because she didn't even notice that someone had quietly appeared behind her.
When I turned my head to look, I found that the person was a middle-aged man with a full heavenly court and bright eyes like a galaxy, and there was a strange bearing on his body.
Shen Wansan hurriedly got up, bowed slightly and arched his hand with a smile.
"I've seen bad handsomeness."
"Forgive me, the bad handsome, the people who can participate in the banquet today are all officials of the imperial court, and Shen doesn't dare to sit around, so as not to collide with the big guys."
There is no doubt that the person who suddenly appeared was Yuan Tiangang.
"Shen Huishou is too modest, you are not a small person. With the current achievements of the Four Seasons Commercial Bank, even if you are invited to sit with Yuan, it is not an exaggeration. ”
Yuan Tiangang smiled slightly, and then did not continue to entangle with Shen Wansan, but turned his head to look at the veiled Fengying.
"Besides, it's a bit rude to let such a beautiful woman sit in such a secluded corner, isn't it?"
"Bad handsome, I ......"
Shen Wansan coughed lightly and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yuan Tiangang waving his hand.
"I can't see the Ancient Emperor and Empress here, let alone Your Majesty."
"I have ordered someone to reserve a place for the two of them, and it is okay for the two of them to go or not."
After the words fell, Yuan Tiangang looked at Yutai Fengying deeply, and then turned to leave.
After seeing Yuan Tiangang go away, Yutai Fengying said curiously: "He is the head of the bad people, Yuan Tiangang?" ”
"Not bad."
Shen Wansan nodded, and then showed a helpless look.
"Since the bad handsome didn't ask anything, I think he already knows the identity of the young leader......"
Yutai Fengying frowned, she didn't really want people to pay attention to her.
It's just that she also knows that with such a feast, it is impossible for the people of Great Xia not to carefully check the origin of each guest, and it is not very difficult to find out her identity.
After all, when she went to the headquarters of Four Seasons Commercial Bank today, she didn't hide it.
"Well, if you know, you know, anyway, the little girl has no malice."
Yutai Fengying sighed secretly and shook her head.
Shen Wansan's eyes flashed slightly, and after a while, he asked, "Then here, is the Shaohui going to be the first to go?" ”
"Naturally, I'm going, didn't that bad handsome man say, I can't see those two big people here."
Yutai Fengying replied without thinking.
Shen Wansan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said helplessly: "But if you want to go to the inner room, the identity of the young leader must be clearly reported to the bad handsome, which is also the implication of the bad handsome." ”
"The inside is full of core characters, and the identity of everyone who appears must be unmistakable."
"And if the identity of the head of the major meeting is clearly reported, then His Majesty will most likely notice you, and it is possible to talk a few words at that time."
Yutai Fengying was stunned, and after being silent for a while, she still nodded.
"Go, since they're all here, you can't run in vain. There is Lao Shen will be the head. ”
Yutai Fengying was actually very curious about the Great Xia Emperor in her heart, and she really wanted to see with her own eyes what the ancient demon who was only in her twenties but had already cultivated to the Great Supreme Extreme Realm looked like.
Of course, it would be better if we could exchange a few words.
……
A quarter of an hour later, with a shout, the noisy crowd quickly fell silent and looked out.
"The envoys of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty have arrived~"
Before long, more than thirty figures appeared in everyone's sight.
Most of these people are swaggering and imposing, almost not squinting along the way, and each has its own style.
And the most concerned is only the figure walking in the front.
There is no need to introduce everyone, everyone knows that this must be the ancient emperor and queen Tong Fengjiao!
How amazing Tong Fengjiao's demeanor is, it can only be seen from the many exclamations that were deliberately suppressed in the field.
Under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Aragon envoys did not stop at the outer room, but went all the way to the main hall of the inner room.
After all the members of the delegation had entered, some officials who had remained outside to accompany their families and were qualified to enter the main hall also hurriedly followed.
In the corner, Shen Wansan and Yutai Fengying also stood up and walked to the inner room.
……
After the tea was served, a shout rang out from the doorway on the other side of the main hall.
The sound was so loud that both the people in the main hall and the crowd outside the main hall could hear it clearly.
"Your Majesty has arrived~"
In an instant, everyone got up, tidied up their clothes and groomed and bowed their heads, including the people of the Ancient Envoys.
The only exception is one and a half.
Which one of them is naturally Tong Fengjiao, the queen of the ancient emperor.
Although Tong Fengjiao also stood up, she did not bow her head, but looked at the room calmly.
As for the half, it is Yutai Fengying.
Although Yutai Fengying got up and lowered her head, her eyes were secretly staring, and she was not as honest as others at all.
On the other side, Tong Fengjiao seemed to have noticed the small movements of Tangtai Fengying, and turned her head to stare at Tangtai Fengying several times, with a strange expression.
Before long, Xia Aolong walked in a hurry, followed by six concubines.
These six concubines are the noble concubines Shangguan Wan'er and Yan Chuyun, and the concubines Gu Ruoyun, Dongfang Yu, Li Hanxiang and Mi Yan.
In the past, Xia Ao promoted the concubines to concubines, not only for Shangguan Wan'er and Yan Chuyun, but also for others.
"Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”
"I've seen His Majesty the Xia Emperor! Xia Huang Wan'an! ”
"No need to be polite, everyone should take their seats."
Xia Ao smiled slightly, and raised his hand to greet after sitting down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty Emperor Xie Xia!"
When everyone sat down, Xia Ao looked straight towards Tong Fengjiao.
"The Empress Tong came from afar, and I was entangled in state affairs and could not greet me in person, so I hope you will forgive me."
"His Majesty the Emperor Xia is polite, and he can be entertained by His Majesty's feast, and the palace is already very happy."
Tong Fengjiao owed a debt and replied with a smile.
"That'll be fine."
Xia Ao laughed, but then sighed in surprise.
"Empress Tong, this is about to start, why are you still wearing a veil? Could it be that Empress Tong was worried that these dishes were not appetizing? ”
"Or, does the Empress Tong not want me to see the proud true face of the fifth most beautiful woman on the beauty list? Hahaha......"
Tong Fengjiao's expression was stunned, and she chuckled: "His Majesty Emperor Xia said that he was joking, with Yan Guifei Zhuyu in front of him, this palace does not dare to pretend to be beautiful." ”
"I had been guessing the majesty of His Majesty Emperor Xia before, and I was a little distracted, so I forgot to pick it up. If there is any rudeness, I hope that His Majesty Emperor Xia Haihan ......"
As she spoke, Tong Fengjiao lightly raised her green jade hand and took off the veil.
At this moment, everyone was staring at Tong Fengjiao, and at the moment when the veil was removed, it seemed that a bright light appeared at a glance, like a spring flower.
Xia Ao's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked a chuckle, and he did not shy away from admiring.
"The state is thick and true, and the texture is delicate and even. The demeanor of the Empress Tong is really like a peony in the clouds, no wonder she can rank among the top five of the Nine Regions Beauty List! ”
Tong Fengjiao smiled reservedly, and the smile in her eyes became a little stronger.
In this world, where is there a woman who doesn't like to be praised for her appearance? What's more, it's still from the handsome emperor in front of him.
"Thank you for your praise Your Majesty Emperor Xia, the posture of the willows in this palace is not comparable to Concubine Yan."
"If you really want to talk about it, His Majesty Emperor Xia's posture is the real dragon among people. If Baixiao Pavilion will one day list the Yulang list, this palace believes that His Majesty the Xia Emperor will definitely be at the top of the list~"
"Hahaha, talking to the Empress Tong is really pleasant."
Xia Ao laughed loudly for a while, and then picked up the wine glass on the case.
"Come, this cup of wine, I, my concubines, and my courtiers of Great Xia, first pay homage to Emperor Tong and the ancient envoys who also came from afar."
Hearing this, the eight concubines and a group of Great Xia courtiers also raised their wine glasses one after another, and gestured to the ancient people.
"Respect the Empress Tong! Respect the ancient envoys! ”
Tong Fengjiao smiled, elegantly picked up the glass cup, and bowed her head slightly to Xia Ao sideways.
"His Majesty Emperor Xie Xia~"
"Everyone, drink it together!"
Xia Ao greeted again, and then drank all the wine in the cup.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and the sound of conversation and laughter was endless, but everyone tacitly avoided the topic of current politics without mentioning it at all.
Half an hour later, waiting for the sixth round of dancing performances, as Zhao Gao whispered a few words in Xia Ao's ear, Xia Ao suddenly turned his head and looked at Shentai Fengying beside Shen Wansan with interest.
"Unexpectedly, today's banquet ushered in a distinguished guest."
Being stared at by Xia Ao's eyes as deep as the endless starry sky, Yutai Fengying couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart.
Just as she wanted to get up and reveal her identity and apologize, Xia Ao turned her head to look at Gu Ruoyun again.
"Concubine Yun, treat me well, if you have a need, you can try to meet it."
"Yes, Your Majesty~"
Gu Ruoyun smiled, then got up and walked towards Yutai Fengying.
At the same time, there are also palace maids who have set up two separate seats on the other side, which are obviously prepared for Gu Ruoyun and Yutai Fengying.
Seeing that Xia Ao didn't want to directly let her reveal her identity publicly, Yutai Fengying felt a little relieved.
After taking a deep look at Xia Ao, Yutai Fengying got up and bowed apologetically to the people in the hall, and then followed Gu Ruoyun to the other side.
