At the banquet, the jade belt is golden, the flowers and candles are burning, the singing and dancing are leveled, and the prosperous scene is intoxicating.

Gradually, Helian Tieshu was also affected by this unique atmosphere and let down his guard a little.

At this time, the officials of the Song Dynasty began to toast to the Western Xia one by one, raising a glass and changing the lamp, and before he knew it, Helian Tieshu had already drunk dozens of glasses of wine and stomach, the jade cup with a tiger's mouth, the capacity was not small, and it was also a loss that he was a military general, and the amount of wine had always been good, and he could still maintain five or six points of sobriety.

On the other side, two of the diplomatic ministers had already fallen to the ground.

It seems that he intends to see the Xixia people make a fool of themselves, and there are more and more people toasting, and some people even find Murong Fu and other warriors from the Xixia Yipintang.

Not to mention that Murong Fu has profound skills and can easily dissolve the strength of wine, even after washing the marrow and cutting the marrow through the I Ching, his physique is far beyond ordinary people, the so-called thousand cups do not pour, but Erer.

Therefore, in the face of the officials of the Song Dynasty, he did not refuse to come, and even poured down the mouth of the cup after drinking the wine syrup in the cup, and there was no drop of wine left.

Seeing this situation, the Song court officials who came to drink with him could only drink the wine in the wine glass in one gulp.

When he came, he was still calm and breezy, and when he left, his face was already slightly drunk.

Lest the front of the temple lose their manners, they retreated to their seats.

As a result, although the number of officials in the Song court was superior, those who came back after coming back sat in their seats one by one, and the alcohol was on their faces.

In less than a moment, there was a lively scene around the envoys of Western Xia, and soon there were few people left.

Some people who didn't give up had a few more drinks with Murong Fu, but they couldn't even walk steadily, and they relied on the support of a few people to return to their seats.

At this moment, even Emperor Zhezong couldn't help but look at him curiously and glanced at Murong Fu.

Helian Tieshu and others praised Murong Fu again and again, and felt that Song Ting's self-inflicted humiliation was very ridiculous.

Seeing this situation, Murong Fu was also a little helpless, he just wanted to drink quietly alone, and he didn't think about deliberately showing off or suppressing anyone.

Seeing that this plan could not be achieved, after a moment of silence in the atmosphere, Emperor Zhezong suddenly spoke, and the implication of his words was nothing more than a routine singing of merits and virtues, and proclaiming the non-existent friendship between the two countries.

Then the voice changed and said: "General Helian came from the Western Xia to the court, which shows the sincerity and sincerity of your country, and my great Song monarchs and ministers are single-minded, in order to show the importance of your country, my eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty Xu has learned the rhythm of music since childhood. ”

"May the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia be kind neighbors and work together in harmony!"

Princess Da Song presented a song, this is still something that has never happened before, Helian Tieshu heard this, and couldn't help but get solemn, secretly thinking, does Da Song really intend to be friendly with Xixia?

But it wasn't until a girl dressed in palace clothes with beautiful eyebrows walked into the main hall accompanied by a palace maid that Helian Tieshu's face sank, knowing that he was thinking too much.

I saw the eleven or twelve-year-old girl in front of me, but in the year of the golden hairpin, it was to dedicate a song, and it was just a child's house, how could it be taken seriously?

On the contrary, in Helian Tieshu's view, Emperor Song Ting's move was very provocative.

Murong Fu couldn't help but look at the eldest princess of the Xu Kingdom at this moment, her pink face was lightly powdered, although she was young, she was already a rare beauty embryo, and the identity of the eldest princess added a bit of nobility invisibly, but she had a royal demeanor.

As the eldest princess sat down, the orchestral music of silk and bamboo in the hall also came to an abrupt end.

After a while, only listen to the sound of Zheng, such as the sound of the mountain spring Qingyue, melodious and beautiful, constantly reverberating in the whole hall.

Then, the eldest princess's jade-like little hand plucked the strings, and in an instant, the gentle and elegant sound of the piano resounded, accompanied by several long-sleeved palace maids in front of the palace dancing.

In the main hall, many scholars dare not say that they are proficient in music, but they can also distinguish the good from the bad, and they are fortunate to hear the princess stroke the qin, and everyone is holding their breath and concentrating on the beauty of the music.

On the Western Xia side, although there are few people who are good at this way, they can also hear the melody of this qin sound is peaceful and neutral, which makes people only feel the beauty of music when they listen to it.

Even the dancing posture of those palace maids is also very elegant and quite pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that a twelve- or thirteen-year-old little princess in the Song Dynasty had such good piano skills, among the envoys of the Western Xia, the person who was driven to the shelves felt even more gloomy, and simply drank a few glasses of wine and fainted.

Seeing this, Helian Tieshu trembled slightly with the beard at the corner of his mouth, and he was a little angry.

The sound of the piano lingers, and it is finally silent.

Emperor Zhezong was the first to applaud him, and then a group of ministers also echoed him.

The eldest princess of the country of Xu smiled shyly, looking unashamed.

Emperor Zhezong immediately gave her a seat, and then asked Helian Tieshu how the eldest princess played the song?

Zhao Xu has always had a tough attitude towards diplomacy and military affairs, and has never advocated seeking peace with grievances, so he is also quite dissatisfied with the actions of the Western Xia to repeatedly provoke the Great Song Dynasty, because he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to frustrate the prestige of the other party.

Helian Tieshu really didn't have much insight into the music and rhythm, and in the face of Emperor Zongzhe's inquiry, he could only bite the bullet and praise a few good words.

Emperor Zhezong was very satisfied with Helian Tieshu's embarrassment, and then asked if there were any people in the Western Xia mission who were good at music and rhythm, so they might as well show it to everyone and exchange and learn from each other.

Looking at the diplomat who pretended to be drunk, Helian Tieshu's face turned blue with anger, and he could only admit defeat in the end.

But thinking that instead of waiting for the people of the Song Dynasty to make things difficult for him, it was better to take the initiative to attack, Helian Tieshu immediately said: "I heard that the Great Song Hanlin Academy has a position of chess to be edicted, presumably the person who can take this position must be the first person in the Great Song Dynasty chess world?" ”

"No, this Mr. Duan's chess skills are second to none in my Western Xia, it is better to take advantage of this Yaxing, Your Majesty will call this chess edict out to play a game, so as to add a little fun."

Fang Cai Duan Yanqing used the sound transmission to inform him of the matter, saying that he was confident that he would defeat the chess players of the Great Song Dynasty, so that Helian Tieshu could turn passive into active.

Thinking that he had lost face once anyway, and he would be defenseless if he lost it again, Helian Tieshu chose to believe Duan Yanqing and directly blew the cowhide out.

Hearing Helian Tieshu's words, many people on the Great Song side showed stunned expressions on their faces.

They had already prepared the following, but they didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to mention it.

Emperor Zhezong said with a smile: "Since General Helian has this Yaxing, then let Liu Zhongfu accompany this Mr. Duan of your country to play a game." ”

I saw that among the civil officials of the Song court, an old man with a clear appearance walked out, bowed to Emperor Zhezong, and faced the people of Western Xia.

Duan Yanqing is inconvenient due to his legs and feet, and some false gifts can also be waived.

In order to make this game more vivid and interesting, Emperor Zhezong also added a lottery to this matter, and the winner was rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold.
