The matter of Qinghui Garden soon reached the ears of the emperor.Emperor Zhengxuan was in the palace, and he had already made preparations, but it was impossible to appear so early at this time.After all, he is the emperor of Great Qi, and it just so happens that these vassal states of Beiyan are here, and he can't appear early.He had to accept the Northern Yan and other court meetings before he could drink and talk freely with the vassal countries.Now I actually heard that the envoy of Beiyan actually set up a chess game in Qinghui Garden, but they actually lost, and they lost two games in a row.Emperor Zhengxuan was so angry that his beard was about to rise: "What does that Beiyan mean?"
He also said that he borrowed food!
”Emperor Zhengxuan has seriously thought about the problem of borrowing grain, but now don't talk about borrowing grain, people are showing off their might!
If one didn't get it right, they were ridiculed by others, and they also showed weakness to Beiyan, but they were checked and balanced by Beiyan.They are not at that point.Cai Jie on the side said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, the time for the banquet is coming soon." ”Emperor Zhengxuan's face stood up at this time.…… In Qinghui Garden, because of the two games of chess lost by Liao Jueyao, the atmosphere became a little strange.Daqi people who care about national affairs stand aside gloomily, don't have a big heart, or only think about themselves, and play happily.The envoys of the Northern Yan and the other two vassal states had a great time, and occasionally laughed out loud because of some interesting anecdote.At this time, there was a "bang" not far away, but it was the gong in the palace that was struck, which meant that the state banquet was about to start and let everyone enter the palace.For such a large feast, the feast is held in the solemn hall.Ye Tangcai, Zhao Yingqi and others were enjoying fish in a certain pavilion, and when they heard the sound, they hurriedly followed a team to the main hall.A few people came out of Qinghui Garden, but they saw Chu Congke coming over, and looked at Yuan Nanying with an affectionate face: "Ying'er!
”The corners of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched, and Yuan Nanying was even more disgusted and wanted to vomit, hehe said twice: "What are you, please don't come over and disgust me, okay?"
”Chu Congke's face changed: "Ying'er, we have been engaged for many years, ......"
"Didn't you quit after many years of marriage?"
”Yuan Nanying's face was disdainful.Well, a good kill!
This aura!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ye Tangcai would have thought that Yuan Nanying had been dropped!
Sure enough, identity is the confidence of words and deeds.Chu Congke's face was light and pale for a while, and when he saw Ye Tangcai looking at him with mockery in his eyes, where did he still have the face to stay here, he immediately turned away.Ye Tangcai was speechless and died, this cheeky man was so thick that he fought with the city wall!
It's really worthy of Aunt Fei's birth."
Let's go!"
Shangguan Yun said.A few people walked along the wide avenue paved with white jade, turned left and right, and finally came to the main hall, a group of eunuchs stood at the door, saw them hurriedly and thoughtfully stepped forward to ask, and then led them to the seat where they should sit.Ye Tangcai and Zhao Yingqi were separated and led to the main hall.Ye Tangcai looked up, only to see that there was a dragon chair and a dragon table carved high with a golden dragon soaring, and a brocade embroidered dragon and phoenix on the top, and on the left and right, there was also a long case with dragon patterns.This is the seat of the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince.Down the three steps, there are several princes and princesses of King Liang and King Lu, and the royal family and nobles at the bottom and behind.On the right are Liao Shoufu, Liubu Shangshu and other powerful ministers, and then down are other officials and nobles, and behind them are several rows of Houmen nobles.The central part of the hall is empty, reserved for the court and for singing and dancing.There is no distinction between men and women, and they are all seated according to the family.The Chu family is arranged in the back row of three long cases on the right.In the case of Uncle Chu Qin, the case of Chu Congke and Chu Miaoshu, Ye Tangcai and Chu Miaohua sat at the table.Chu Feiyang and Jiang Xinxue don't like these occasions, so they didn't declare to come from the beginning, and naturally they didn't have their seats.Ye Tangcai raised his eyes and saw that Zhao Yingqi was sitting with King Liang over there, and the big circle was so easy to recognize, he could see it at a glance.Why do you want to comb such two big circles on your head?
Could it be because it's conspicuous?
And Zhao Yingqi loves to be a demon, can you see it from a distance?
Thinking about it, the corners of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched, okay, she felt like the truth.Ye Tangcai suddenly saw Liao Jueyao again, sitting behind Liao Shoufu with Chu Pingfeng.At this time, Liao Jueyao's expression was gloomy and depressed."
The emperor has arrived!"
The eunuch's shrill voice rang out.Everyone stood up, bowed and saluted, and after shouting long live, Emperor Zhengxuan let the flat body and sit down.Emperor Zhengxuan and Empress Zheng sat on the top, and the Queen Mother and the crown prince and his wife were on the left and right.A burst of silk and bamboo wind music sounded, the sound was thin, melodious and soft, not noisy, but it seemed warm and lively."
The Northern Yan Kingdom is coming!
The north borders the country to come to the dynasty!
Dong'an is coming!
”The eunuch's voice outside rang out.Then I saw a group of people in different clothes walking in front and back, and it was Beiyan who walked in front.At the head was a man in his thirties, wearing a green and gold diagonal button-down robe, who looked handsome, followed by three or two women in black, followed by more than a dozen officials.Among the three women in black, two were the ones who played chess with Liao Jueyao in Qinghui Garden.The young man at the head stepped forward and bowed: "Hu Mo, the prince of Northern Yan, and the envoys have come to congratulate. ”As he spoke, a big man in a red hanger with his chest open came in carrying a huge object and covering it with a strange totemic red silk cloth.Hu Mo, the prince of Beiyan, tore open the red cloth, only to see that it was a sandalwood dragon carving, the dragon's mouth spit beads, and the beads exuded a quiet fragrance, but it was an agarwood.Seeing this birthday gift, Emperor Zhengxuan sneered, still as old as ever!
They have a lot of this kind of sandalwood, and the agarwood and carving in their mouths are a little bit interesting.But that's about it!
Donglin and Dong'an also had a young man and a middle-aged man each stepped forward: "The three princes of Donglin (Dong'an Great Prince) are here to congratulate." ”Then there were also people in the back who brought in Shou Lilai, one was a huge blood jade porcelain bottle holding a peach in Jiushou, and the other actually gave a monkey dancing to the music, and it could also show the rhythm!
Emperor Zhengxuan was amused and laughed.If it was in previous years, he would not be expensive, only in this novelty and joy, but this year is different.After several years of continuous wars, the treasury is empty, and where is there still a mood for such a plaything.Moreover, you have to give them a gift in return.In the past, they were proud that they were a big country, and when they saw that their congratulatory gifts were shabby, they sneered in their hearts, and they would double the gifts in return, so as to show their financial resources and the bearing of the kingdom.But now, the wealth of the country is empty, and even the grain and grass in Yu'an Pass have become a problem, and you have more money to give in return.Thinking like this, Emperor Zhengxuan's heart sank, but with a smile on his face, he smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad."
Put away all the congratulatory gifts and sit down. ”The three countries of Beiyan, Donglin and Dong'an immediately returned the salute: "Emperor Xie Daqin." ”As he spoke, he was led to his seat by the eunuch.After everyone was seated, they shouted goodbye to the feast, and then, the wine and food were served in turn, the voice of the donor sounded, and a group of dancing girls entered the arena to dance, and when the wine had passed three rounds, another dance retreated, and you left the soft music on the side.At this time, a woman in black stood up from the place where Beiyan did, holding a wine glass, and arched her hand towards Emperor Zhengxuan: "Emperor Great Qin!"
This princess wishes you a long life than Nanshan and blessings like the East China Sea. ”Emperor Zhengxuan after the dragon case was stunned, only to see that it was a woman in her twenties, dressed ordinarily, and her appearance was ordinary, and she could only be regarded as a delicate woman: "This is ......"
Hu Mo, the prince of Beiyan, said: "This is the fifth sister of the prince, Hu Naduo." ”Ye Tangcai was stunned, just now these two women in black were playing chess with Liao Jueyao in Qinghui Garden, the most powerful thing was that she was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl that year, and this girl was also beautiful.This woman in her twenties came later, she didn't look very good, her bearing was not very good, and her chess skills were not as good as the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in front of her.She always thought that among the two women, the most important one was the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, but she never expected that this inconspicuous woman in black was actually Princess Beiyan.The princess of Beiyan, Hu Naduo, said: "I heard that the eldest granddaughter of the head of your Great Qi is the first talented girl of your Great Qi, known for her chess strength, and is called the first female chess player of your Great Qi."
I am also a chess lover, and I have admired you as the first female chess player of Daqi for a long time, and today is the Wanshou Festival of the Emperor of Daqi, so let me ask for advice. ”As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent.The faces of the people of Daqi all froze.The envoys of the Three Kingdoms came, and Daqi naturally paid attention to their every move, and just after Liao Jueyao fought chess with two women in Qinghui Garden, he finally lost, and it reached the ears of the hundred officials of Daqi.Now this princess of Beiyan actually said that she still wanted to ask them for advice from the first talented girl and the first female chess player of Daqi, but you know that just now their first female chess player of Daqi lost to them!
I really don't know if they really don't recognize Liao Jueyao or if it is on purpose, Xu is on purpose, but even so, they can't say that their first-year female chess player has lost to them Beiyan.If you lose on the spot now, you can say it with a good attitude, and if you are invincible in chess, you will admit defeat and fall into a frank manner.Now the representatives of their Daqi first silently lost, and then they were "unknowingly" brought up, if they admit defeat without fighting, then the momentum will be lost!
Emperor Zhengxuan was so angry that his face turned blue and white for a while.Liao Shoufu's old face was blue, and he secretly hated Liao Jueyao for being too ostentatious, and he had to take a chessboard to fight chess with others wherever he went.If it is between these families, it will be just that, and if you lose, you will lose, but you will lose to other countries.Knowing that today is the emperor's birthday, there will be vassal countries coming over, she actually brought a chessboard to recruit Yao, and it turned out to be like this.The prince sneered: "You Beiyan are always so aggressive, often come to fight this and that, a few years ago, you were beaten by our Tianshu Gongzi, haven't you been afraid of losing?"
”The corners of the courtiers of Daqi twitched, some of them didn't care, and some of them lowered their heads and touched their noses speechlessly.------ digression------ Ye Tangcai: Go away, go away, I'm going to pretend to be forced!
