Chapter 235: Palace Banquet
Soon to the month of Layue, the Tatar envoy soon arrived, but I didn't expect that it was the Tatar king who led the team directly, and the Ministry of Rites was very busy for a while, not only wanting the Tatars to feel a goodwill from His Majesty to the people, but also wanting the Tatars to see the prosperous side of the country, so that they were jealous.
The Ministry of Rites racked its brains and worked hard for more than a month before it was ready, and finally it was the day when the Tatar king entered Beijing.
This morning, the winter sun rises early, and the sun shines on the earth through the clouds.
The people in the capital gathered on the streets early to wait for the Tatar procession, and the city gate was opened, and the Tatar courtoon slowly drove in.
Rows of people dressed in strange costumes walked by, and in the middle was a lavishly decorated carriage drawn by eight horses.
The carriage was unobstructed, and in the middle of it sat a fat man with a glittering golden hat on his head, and this man was none other than the Tartar king Vaspur.
Next to her sat a girl dressed in red, this girl's red veil covered her face, only a pair of sapphire-like eyes leaked out, and when she looked up, her eyes flowed like the sea was fluctuating.
The crowd of onlookers let out bursts of enthusiastic cheers, and the spurs sat in the carriage and kept waving to the people around them.
Emperor Xuanhua received the tile spur on the Jinluan Palace, and the tile thorn saw that Emperor Xuanhua made a big gift, and said in unfamiliar words: "I am fortunate to meet Your Majesty today, and this king is fortunate to have three lives." ”
Because it was a defeated country, Emperor Xuanhua consciously felt superior, and said with a majestic face: "Get up." ”
Wa Thorn said: "This king came today to form a hundred years of friendship with the Great Xia Kingdom, and not to go to war. Specially sealed the national letter. ”
These were originally oral appointments between Xiao Xinrong and Wa Zhu that day, but now that Wa Thorn has sent a credential, it is even more sincere.
Gonggong Hong took the letter of state, Emperor Xuanhua ordered him to read it on the spot, and all the courtiers were glorious for a while, which was the reward after the victory.
Emperor Xuanhua was even more happy, and announced a banquet in the palace on the second day on the spot to welcome the arrival of the tile spur.
Because of Xiahou's courage and good fighting, he won the war, and Emperor Xuanhua deliberately took care of several young ladies in Xiahou's mansion in private, and called them over to participate in the palace banquet, which was a compliment to Xiahou's mansion, and Xiahou Zhong hurriedly received his order to thank him.
Xiao Xinrong was directly responsible for everything here during this time, Xiao Xinrong and he were also acquaintances, and Xiao Xinrong was duty-bound to receive orders on the spot.
After Xiahou Zhong returned to the house, he asked all the ladies in the house to call to the study, swept over Xiahou Shuang and the others and said: "Tomorrow in the palace banquet, Your Majesty ordered the courtiers to take the ladies in the palace to go, and you all pack up and go with me tomorrow." ”
Xiahou Shuang and Xiahou Jing both nodded, only Xiahou Yan was a little surprised, and I didn't know why her father was able to let her go to the palace banquet this time.
Xiahou Zhong also has his own plans, Yan'er is now a married person, and without the Lin family by his side, she will definitely not be able to cause any trouble, and she should be allowed to walk around, and when she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Chen family in the future, she will have a handkerchief around her, and she will take care of each other in some ways.
Xiahou Yan didn't know that her father had such thoughts, so she just went to dress up happily.
The Lin family sent it to the manor, and the old lady would not participate in this kind of banquet when she was old, so she had to take a few people to the banquet.
On the second day, the Wang family took several young ladies in the mansion and Xiahou Xuan to prepare to go out, and when they went out, they told them left and right, don't be high-profile at the banquet, and you must not lose the face of Xiahou Mansion.
Xiahou Yan pursed her lips unconvinced and did not speak, Xiahou Jing and Xiahou Shuang nodded obediently.
When they arrived at the forbidden gate, many carriages from various provinces had been parked, Xiahou Shuang and several people got out of the carriage, and there were waiting palace maids at the forbidden gate who stepped forward to lead a few people to the palace banquet.
Before the banquet began, many ladies and ladies in the hall were all gathered together to chat privately, and after Xiahou Shuang's brothers and sisters came in, everyone frequently attracted sideways, and it was really difficult for men and women not to pay attention.
This time the Tatars can come to the minister General Xiahou has made a lot of contributions, and now Xiahou Mansion has become the hottest mansion in the capital, and the eldest prince of Xiahou has been engaged to the lord of Mingyue, and some people who learned the news secretly regretted that they didn't start earlier.
The Wang family took Xiahou Shuang and a few people to sit quietly in their positions, opposite to Prince Alcohol's seat, Xiahou Shuang raised his head and saw Xiao Xinrong.
Xiao Xinrong seemed to be aware of it and glanced over here, and after seeing Xiahou Shuang, he raised the wine glass in his hand, with a hint of evil smile on his lips, Xiahou Shuang was stunned for a moment, he had never seen such a side of the prince.
There was a sudden flush on his face, and his heart jumped into a drum, but fortunately, the banquet had not started, and most of the people gathered together to whisper that no one paid attention to this, otherwise what kind of waves would be caused back.
At this moment, I only heard a waiter shouting: "The prince is married, and the princess is married." ”
Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, and the prince in a purple python robe walked in with his head held high, but the prince was thin and thin for some reason, followed by the princess who was also wearing purple clothes, and today's princess looked a lot better.
For so many days, the princess has been in front of the prince, and the prince who has done everything possible to coax her to show her face again, the prince has been staying in the princess's courtyard for half a month, and the princess has changed her previous decadence and suddenly raised her toes.
Walking in front of Xiahou Shuang, the crown princess paused for a moment, swept Xiahou Shuang's condensed face, and hummed secretly in her heart: Her niece died, but Xiahou Shuang still lived comfortably, pitying her niece, who died at the hands of Xiahou Shuang and Han Wu.
As soon as she thought of Han Wu and involved Concubine Ling again, the crown princess suddenly felt jealous, the prince was right, Concubine Ling became more and more favored by her father's side, although the sixth prince was underage, he was also a strong opponent, if Concubine Ling continued like this, lest the prince's position be in jeopardy.
The crown prince and the crown princess are the same body, one is prosperous and the other is lost, but now Concubine Ling still can't move, so that Xiahou Shuang made a fool of her, and the princess thought about her idea.
At this time, I only heard the chamberlain shouting: "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and the concubine has arrived." ”
Everyone hurriedly got up and knelt down to salute, and Emperor Xuanhua sat down with the queen and Concubine Ling and waved his hand: "Zhongqing is flat." ”
"Today is to welcome the arrival of the King of Varspur, this time our dynasty and the Tatar dynasty have become two countries, such a great event should be congratulated, now we will raise a glass together to welcome the arrival of the King of Watts. ”
As Emperor Xuanhua's words fell, everyone raised their glasses to the thorn, and the thorn sitting under Emperor Xuanhua drank it all.
The queen mother commanded softly, and the sound of singing and dancing sounded in the field.
