Chapter 109: Clans compete for favor
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The representatives of the tribes stood in two rows under the seat of Emperor Dongjia and bowed respectfully to Emperor Dongjia.
On the red gold seat of Shuanglong, Emperor Dongjia supported his forehead with one hand, his eyes squinted slightly and swept over everyone, and the other hand was on his lap, and his index finger seemed to be tapping it again and again with a rhythm, and he didn't have the slightest intention to open his mouth after most of the day.
Seeing this, Gonggong Liu, who was following Emperor Dongjia, stepped forward with some hesitation, and was about to persuade a few words, but was frightened by Emperor Dongjia's cold eyes and obediently lowered his head and retreated.
Although the people of the tribe knelt under the seat and did not speak, their intertwined eyes and slightly twisted brows had betrayed their inner dissatisfaction, and the representative of the Yan Department was even more sullen, and secretly muttered a common saying that seemed to be their tribe, and was stopped by the entourage pulling his sleeves in the middle of the conversation.
Although they were in the outer hall just now, they could hear a thing or two of the movements in the hall, and although Shuo Ye was small, it was an independent country, so it could not occupy some weight in the eyes of Emperor Dongjia, and humiliate his envoys at will, not to mention the marginal tribes of these dependent Dongjia countries.
Seeing this, Lin Qingwan subconsciously looked at Emperor Dongjia who was sitting at the top, and saw that he just looked lazy, and he didn't seem to be aware of the small movements of the tribes.
Although the tribes are only a small end, it is very inappropriate for Emperor Dongjia to let a cadre of people kneel on the temple all the time.
Eyes flowed, Lin Qingwan looked at Lin Qiuwen who was sitting next to Emperor Dongjia with a smile, and the latter also looked at her and smiled, very soft and generous.
I thought that it would be difficult for her to enter the palace with such a weak temperament, but she didn't expect that once she entered the palace, she would be so glamorous and beautiful, and now she has been promoted to four levels in a row to become Jieyu.
On such an important occasion, Emperor Dongjia actually gave up all the concubines in the harem and let her serve by his side, which seems to be really very favored.
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking? Holding the wine jug in front of him for Emperor Dongjia, Lin Qiuwen asked softly to remind.
Emperor Dongjia took a deep look at her and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai didn't say that I really forgot that you are still holding the courtesy, everyone has worked hard from afar, it was my negligence, let's all sit down." ”
Emperor Dongjia's words were like an amnesty decree, which made everyone in the hanging tribe breathe a sigh of relief and took their seats one after another.
"The emperor is naturally concerned about the world's major affairs, and our border clan can only offer some novel and small gadgets to the emperor. The representative of the Frozen Clan was the first to speak, and his beautiful words made Emperor Dongjia very happy. With a finger of the empty hand, a palace maid stepped forward to pour a cup for it. The representative naturally knows, and he raised a glass to Emperor Dongjia with a face full of spring: "Long live the emperor on behalf of the Frozen Ministry." ”
"What your tribe offers every year, I like it the most. After drinking a cup of wine, Emperor Dongjia ordered the palace people to fill it up. The representative also smiled and flattered to the fullest, and the cups seemed to leave the rest of the tribes aside.
"The Frozen Department has a vast area, and the treasures that can be collected can naturally make the emperor happy, but this year, ......" Luo Min's representative raised his voice at the end and chuckled: "Your Majesty dares to guarantee that the treasures offered by our two departments will make the emperor happy!"
As soon as these words came out, all the tribes in the hall were thoughtful, and Bing Feng scoffed at Luo Min's self-confidence.
The representative tilted his head slightly and looked proud, but he also successfully aroused the curiosity of Emperor Dongjia, and the rest of the princes and ministers looked at the representative of the Luo Min clan with a faint expectation.
The representative of the Luo Min clan looked around slowly, and after satisfying everyone's appetite, he reached out and slapped two crisp high-fives in the air.
In just a moment, sixteen strong men with their upper bodies exposed carried a large drum that required about ten people to encircle it, and the drum body was wrapped in green vines around it, surrounded by tall green bamboos, and a cage of moon-white and a cage of light green light yarn was cut into strips about a palm-wide and covered with layers of drums.
The drum seemed to be hung with countless fireflies, dim and faintly flickering.
Just when everyone was curious about the mystery of this drum covered by light gauze, suddenly a melodious sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and its beauty and grace even people like Lin Qingwan who only knew a little bit about the rhythm felt very good.
As the sound of silk and bamboo approached, between the light and dark of the fireflies in the drum, everyone found that there was a faint young girl dancing in it, and the drum beat echoed the sound of silk and bamboo between the dances, and the body was enchanting as if there were no bones.
In an instant, there was nothing else in the hall except beautiful music and graceful dancing.
Seeing that everyone was immersed in the "treasures" she offered, the representative of the Luo Min clan was very proud.
After the song was finished, the representative of the Luo Min clan was about to say something, only to see that Emperor Dongjia had already stepped down from the high platform, and slowly lifted the light veil with the expectations of most of the people present, and led out a peerless beauty who lived up to expectations.
"Yes! It's rare to find such a beautiful woman, and it's really heartfelt!"
There is a beauty in the side of the East Jiadi is naturally overjoyed, holding the beauty's hand and stroking it carefully.
"Tsk, it's really like a hibiscus with a face like coagulated skin, and the beauty is a good color, so that the three thousand people in my harem are embarrassed. ”
Emperor Dongjia stretched his big sleeves and pulled his slender waist into his arms, hugged him to the throne of the emperor, and let him sit beside him to personally pour wine and hand fruits for her.
And Lin Qiuwen, who was sitting on the other side of Emperor Dongjia, although she still had a soft smile on her face, generous and decent, it was not difficult to find that her originally smiling eyes had sunk as dark as a pool of stagnant water.
"Not only that, the beauty of this woman has to be savored by the emperor elsewhere. The woman smiled coquettishly, and her tone was even more flirtatious and ambiguous. at
What is the identity of everyone here, and they are well versed in this way, so they naturally guessed seven or eight points when the Luo Min tribe raised the drum up, and everyone knew their thoughts, who would have thought that the Luo Min clan would actually say so clearly in front of everyone in the main hall.
But seeing that the emperor now has a pair of eyes and a mind that has been completely placed on the beauty, he knows that it is useless to say more, and it can only attract the emperor's displeasure, so even if his words and deeds are at a loss, he can only turn a blind eye to it.
Everyone's attention and thinking are all on this beauty who was offered, but Lin Qingwan saw Lin Qiuwen's expression in her eyes from beginning to end, and she didn't feel that she was related.
Emperor Dongjia's harem has never lacked beautiful people, at first there were Wan nobles, then there were concubines and concubines, and then Lin Qiuwen, and now there are new beauties, I am afraid that Lin Qiuwen is also ...... Sure enough, it is the most ruthless emperor's family, and the harem is even more abstaining from a hundred days of red feng shui in turn.
Lin Qingwan looked at Lin Qiuwen, who was still smiling on the stage, and could only regret silently.
"Although the tribe is a subordinate tribe of the Dongjia Kingdom, those who have a little ability will always not be satisfied with the status quo, let alone when the so-called status quo is not so good. Do you think the emperor can't see the thoughts of the tribesmen? Since you know that they are restless, do you think that the gift from the restless people will end well?"
Chu Fuyan swept over the tribes in front of him as if he had no intention, and analyzed with Lin Qingwan in a low voice: "Didn't you notice that this 'gift' has a calm and indifferent look from beginning to end, and it doesn't mean that it is deaf and dumb if I guess correctly. ”
Hearing this, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but raise his eyes, looked at the beauty more, and thought about Chu Fuyan's words.
If nothing else, just such a small tribe in the name of gifts, even if the country is overpowered, what can it be?
Can you still go past the ladies from famous families in the harem?
Lin Qiuwen will be so lost, I am afraid that it is because of her simple mind not long after entering the palace.
Thinking like this, Lin Qingwan was instantly enlightened, glanced at Chu Fuyan, who was still looking at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
"Hmm...... Maybe this is called having a heart?" Chu Fuyan raised his glass to Lin Qingwan, but Lin Qingwan turned his head and ignored it.
On the other side, the representative of the Luo Min clan was very complacent when he saw that Emperor Dongjia loved the beauty he offered so much, and raised his eyebrows at the representative of the Frozen Clan and said provocatively: "What about the treasures of the Frozen Clan?
"You!"
No matter how good the treasure is, it is naturally not as delicate as the beauty, and the representative of the Frozen Clan feels that with the pearl and jade of the Luo Min clan in front, no matter how rare and precious his treasure is, it can only be relegated to the second.
I wanted to scold, but it was not good to have a seizure in this hall, not to mention, Emperor Dongjia had just won the beauty of the Luo Min tribe, and naturally he would not face him, so he only swallowed it into his stomach with anger.
But it can't be compared, the treasure still has to be offered, but it is much more depressed than the original Frozen Clan, and after receiving a beautiful brocade box handed over by the attendant, the representative of the Frozen Clan personally opened the box and held it above his head with both hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please see, this is a wine luminous cup that has been lost for a hundred years as recorded in the record of peerless treasures!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was close looked around, wanting to see the so-called treasures that had been lost for a hundred years and recovered.
"Glow-in-the-dark glass?"
Hearing Lin Qingwan whispering to herself, Chu Fuyan turned his head sideways and whispered in her ear: "This can really be regarded as a legendary treasure, it is said that this cup shines more in the darker place, and what is even more bizarre is that it can hold water as wine, and each cup is not as heavy as the previous cup, and the taste is better than the best wine." ”
Chu Fuyan's warm breath sprayed on Lin Qingwan's neck, and the warm itching sensation made her cheeks slightly red, and she coughed lightly unnaturally.
On the contrary, Lu Zhao, who had been paying attention to their movements on the side, exclaimed: "Is there such a magical treasure in the world? Ah Yan knows so clearly, doesn't he like it? If this is the case, I will go to my father another day to ask for it, and he will definitely give me the luminous cup." ”
"Don't make a fuss, I just happened to read the peerless authentic record he said. Chu Fuyan said.
How could he want the emperor's things, this will inevitably lead to unnecessary incidents if it is heard.
Lu Zhao saw that Chu Fuyan said a lot of things to Lin Qingwan with a smile, but he said a perfunctory word to himself, and drank several glasses of wine angrily.
