Entering the Qianqing Hall, the old emperor and the queen were already inside. The two were sitting on the dragon chair and the phoenix throne. The bright yellow dragon robe made the old emperor look majestic and noble, and beside him, the queen in phoenix robes looked even more majestic. Dignified and elegant, the mother graces the world.
Ye Tianqian, Ye Tianci, Ye Jingxuan, Ye Tianlin and others sat in the front right position, and Xue Qing sat beside Ye Jingxuan. Next to them were Hui Wen and Gongzi Li.
Behind these people sat some officials from the court. In the middle of the two groups sat Feng Feixue, Prince Xuechen, and Princess Siyan. The remaining seats were clearly theirs.
On the left side, behind them are some court officials. In front of these officials are several palace concubines and several daughters of court ministers. In front of them, Xuanyuan Yucheng and the envoys from Dayan are already seated.
Looking at the people in the palace, Zhuge Mingkong couldn't help but smile. She and Ye Shu were indeed the ones holding back. Nine out of ten palace banquets were the last to arrive.
Seeing them coming, the old emperor smiled lightly and said: "Girl Ming, Boy Ye, forget it if you two are late, you actually implicated Prince Anling and Prince Yun in being late."
"Uncle Huang, Rong Yumei and Yun Jing wanted to be late. Otherwise, how could these two men, both known as military gods, be implicated by their nephew?" Ye Shu smiled casually and without evidence, and then he looked at Zhuge Mingkong said: "Little girl, are you right?"
"What's wrong? You're already late and why don't you take a seat?" Zhuge Ming glanced at Ye Shu blankly, and then pulled Rong Yu to the seat on the right. The intimate movements of the two fell into the eyes of the people in the palace, and some people's gazes There's always something wrong.
There are only three people left at the table on the right, but there are four of them.
After Ye Shu sat down, he patted his thigh and said, "Come and sit, no money is required."
"Tomorrow, sit here, brother." Yunjing also sat down, patted his thigh, and looked at Zhuge Mingkong with an evil smile.
At this time, Rong Yu sat down elegantly and directly pulled Zhuge Mingkong to his legs and sat down. The intimate posture of the two made some people in the hall look even more wrong.
"Prince Anling only said that my prince's conduct is not right during the day. Now you and Marquis Wen are acting like this, isn't it a bit dirty?" Xuanyuan Yucheng looked at Zhuge Mingkong and Rong Yu, with a faint look in his eyes. And a cold smile.
Rong Yu smiled tenderly, looked at Xuanyuan Yucheng and said, "It turns out that in the eyes of the Fourteenth Prince, two people who share the same affection are evil eyes!"
"Rong Yumei, he doesn't understand love, don't be like him." Ye Shu picked up the wine glass and spoke casually and without evidence while drinking.
"Young Master Ye is right, Rong Yu will naturally not be as knowledgeable as him." Rong Yu smiled gently, and his stunning aura was like a hundred flowers blooming, so beautiful that it took people's breath away.
Zhuge Mingkong smiled softly, and then ordered the palace attendant on the side: "Go and bring another chair."
"Yes, Miss Mingkong."
After the palace man left, Yun Jing tilted his head to look at her and said with a smile: "What's wrong tomorrow? Are you still worried about others gossiping?"
"I'm afraid Rong Yu's legs will hurt." Zhuge Mingkong smiled faintly.
At this time, the old emperor looked at Zhuge Mingkong and said warmly: "Girl Ming, come to me and sit with me."
As soon as these words came out, let alone others, even Zhuge Mingkong was stunned for a moment. Even the queen had never sat at the same table with the old emperor, but he actually let herself sit at the same table with him. Was he just saying it casually, or was it this? There is a profound meaning in doing so.
Zhuge Mingkong looked at Rong Yu, and Rong Yu gently nodded to her and motioned for her to come over.
Since Rong Yu allowed her to pass, she followed the old emperor's wishes at this time and looked at the old emperor. Zhuge Mingkong smiled and said, "Okay, uncle emperor."
Standing up from Rong Yu's lap, Zhuge Mingkong slowly walked to the old emperor and sat at the same table with him. Rong Hai, who was next to him, immediately placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of Zhuge Mingkong.
At this time, the old emperor raised his glass and said loudly: "The Fourteenth Prince and Princess Minwen have traveled thousands of miles to come to me in Northern Zhou Dynasty. I would like to have a toast to the Fourteenth Prince and Princess Minwen."
Everyone in the Qianqing Palace raised their glasses and paid tribute to Xuanyuan Yucheng and Xuanyuan Yumin. Zhuge Mingkong looked at the so-called Princess Minwen, Xuanyuan Yumin, and she had pretty features, but she was very different from Rong Min. When they arrived at Rong Min, Zhuge Mingkong searched in the palace, but did not see Rong Min.
When she was confused, Xuanyuan Yucheng spoke slowly and said: "Your Majesty, my prince's sister has always admired Princess Lianxue of your country. She knows that she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, and her dancing skills are even better. The best in the world, I specially spent half a year rehearsing a dance, hoping to compete with Princess Lianxue, now is the right time, since I can enjoy the entertainment and fulfill the wish of the imperial sister, I wonder if the emperor will agree? "
"I have no objection. I wonder if Princess Lianxue is willing to compete with Princess Minwen?" The old emperor looked at Feng Feixue and asked aloud.
Feng Feixue stood up, smiled at the old emperor, and then looked at Xuanyuan Yumin, with a faint and elegant smile on her beautiful face: "I wonder if Princess Minwen heard the news. Feixue lost at the Qiuju Conference. I gave it to Sister Ming’s maidservant. If Princess Minwen wants to compete with the loser, Feixue must accompany her to the end.”
"How is that possible?" Xuanyuan Yumin looked at Feng Feixue with some disbelief. She really couldn't believe that there was someone in this world who could beat Feng Feixue.
In fact, what Feng Feixue lost at the Qiu Ju Competition was not her dancing, but her new ideas. The warm-hearted Tianzhu girl was innovative and rare, so of course people liked her, but when it came to dancing, she was still no match for Feng Feixue. .
However, in the final analysis, Feng Feixue lost that game.
"Why should I lie to you? Even the Queen was present at the time. She can testify for Feixue." Feng Feixue said calmly, the smile on her beautiful face unchanged.
Xuanyuan Yumin still didn't seem to believe it. She looked at the queen and saw the queen smiled slightly and nodded: "Indeed, Ming'er's maid at that time did indeed perform a stunning dance that was unforgettable. Ming'er was also in While dancing with me, the rich lady present at the time was very fond of her men's clothing."
"I don't know about this yet, girl Ming, it turns out that men don't dare to want you because women like you!" The old emperor turned to look at Zhuge Mingkong beside him and said a little funny.
Zhuge Mingkong twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Uncle Emperor, I had no choice but to find a man who could cooperate with the dance, so I put on men's clothes and helped my maid. Who knows, those rich ladies don't like it? Men, instead, they fall in love with me, a fake man."
Her slightly complaining tone made the old emperor laugh. He reached out and patted her on the head and said, "You look like Xueying. She was the one that countless men and women went crazy for back then."
"No need." Zhuge Mingkong knocked off the old emperor's hand. On his beautiful face was a smile as quiet and elegant as the moonlight. She looked at the old emperor and said: "My mother has so many love debts, I I don’t want to be like her and be remembered by so many people. Besides..."
She was silent for a moment, looked at Rong Yu, and said warmly: "I only have Rong Yu in this life. The world is light and one person is the most important. He is my world."
Zhuge Mingkong's direct words made everyone in the Qianqing Palace stunned for a moment. No one knew what to say to break the silence at this time.
At this time, Rong Yu was sitting with a warm smile and soft eyes. He said in a gentle voice: "A hundred years of time are like running water. I will never leave you until I die. I will only have you as my wife for the rest of my life. I will never leave you, as the emperor, the emperor, and the empress."
There was silence again in the Qianqing Palace. At this time, Ye Shu laughed and said: "You two are going to go home and make out. Now at the state banquet, be more serious."
"Hahaha..." The old emperor suddenly laughed, then looked at Xuanyuan Yumin and said: "Princess Minwen already knows that Princess Lianxue has lost to others, I wonder if I should compete with her?"
"Of course, it is someone else's business to be better than Princess Lianxue. I just want to learn how to dance with Princess Lianxue. Now that I have finally come to Northern Zhou Dynasty, how can I give up this opportunity?" Xuanyuan Yumin was a little stubborn. He looked at Feng Feixue, then smiled and said: "Besides dancing, I heard that Princess Lianxue's paintings are one of the best in the world, and I also want to compete with you."
"Since Princess Minwen is so elegant, Feixue will accompany her to the end." Feng Feixue smiled slightly, then she looked at Zhuge Mingkong, then at Rong Yu, and said: "Sister Ming, Prince Anling, Feixue has always been very good. I like your ensemble. I wonder if we can play the piano and flute together to help me dance."
Hearing Feng Feixue's words, Zhuge Mingkong smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I copied those songs from the book for you, which one do you want to use?"
"The Blue Sea Tide sings a song. I like this song very much, and I also like the poem written by Sister Ming next to the song." Feng Feixue smiled slightly.
"The shadows of peach blossoms fall and fly to the divine sword, and the waves of the blue sea are pressed against the jade flute. This is the world's portrayal of the life of the composer. Sister Fei Xue wants to use this piece as a dance music, so Rong Yu and I will play it for you." Zhuge Mingkong smiled slightly. Smiling, she then looked at Xuanyuan Yumin and said, "Princess Minwen, Rong Yu and I have left the piano and flute outside the palace. Now we will send someone to get it. Can you dance first?"
"Why not?" Xuanyuan Yumin replied to Zhuge Mingkong with an extremely confident smile. Then she stood up and said to the old emperor: "In that case, Yumin will go change into dance clothes first."
"Princess Minwen, just go and prepare first!"
As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yumin stood up from the banquet room and left the Qianqing Hall. At the same time, Feng Feixue also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Feixue has also gone to change into dance clothes. , so as not to make everyone waste time waiting for Feixue."
"Go for it!"
After Feng Feixue left, the people in the Qianqing Palace began to have a banquet. Zhuge Mingkong picked up the shrimps and put them in a bowl. When he was about to peel the shrimps, Rong Hai next to him held a bowl of peeled shrimps and started to eat them. A bowl of boned fish was placed in front of her.
"Miss Mingkong, the prince has made this for you."
