The most upscale state banquet of the Liao people still looks very similar. Of course, the staple food is still those fishy and smelly bird things. This cannot be changed. It can only be said that the cooking is more refined than at ordinary banquets. But the food
They all used gold, silver, jade, as well as candied fruits and vegetables, so the people of Song Dynasty did not have nothing to eat.
The ceremonial music of the banquet is rare, and it is more colorful than that of the Song Dynasty.
Each time there is a drinking session, there will be a different piece of music. One row of wine, the cup is raised, a song, two rows of wine, three rows of wine, a song, a dancing girl enters, four rows of wine, the pipa is played alone, cakes, tea, and a speech.
.Food in, Zaju enters. Wine with five elements, Que. Wine with six elements, sheng played alone, combined with "Fa Qu". Wine with seven elements, zheng solo. Wine with eight elements, song, percussion music. Wine with nine elements, song, horn
butt……
It is said that this banquet arrangement was designed by the current Queen Xiao Guanyin. It is like the literary evening party of later generations. The program is rich and unique, and it is organically combined with the banquet to ensure that the guests and hosts enjoy themselves. The atmosphere quickly became lively. At this time,
The competition is meaningless. Both sides put aside their grudges and enjoy this final reunion.
For people in the Song Dynasty, it was considered lucky to be able to see the legendary Xiao Guanyin before leaving... Last time at the ball game, I only got a glimpse and didn't see anything clearly.
But after seeing it, I was inevitably disappointed, because the mother of the Liao Kingdom was dressed in Khitan palace attire covered with gold and jade, but her figure could not be seen. She even had a layer of golden foundation on her face, and her appearance could not be seen.
... People from the Song Dynasty had been in the Liao Kingdom for a long time, and they already knew the customs here. They knew that Khitan women had a very peculiar facial makeup. It was called "Buddha makeup", which is a kind of yellow powder painted on the cheeks.
It not only has a skin care effect and can make the skin as white as jade. It can also be used as makeup to look like the face of a golden Buddha, so it is called 'Buddha makeup'.
However, it is said that Buddhist makeup is only popular among women for skin care in winter and spring when the wind is cold and windy. Now that it is approaching summer, I have not seen anyone doing it like this.
But Yelu Hongji was very happy. He introduced to the guests of the Song Dynasty: "You are lucky. The queen usually has a light nature and a plain face. She only wears Buddhist attire during the wedding. Today is the day to send off the distinguished envoy. The queen
This is another exception." Then he asked them: "How is it? Is it beautiful?"
"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful," the Song Dynasty envoy said with a smile: "We are really honored!" But he secretly cursed: "Nima, the taste of the Liao people is too strong..."
Chen Ke glanced at the Khitan Queen in gold face and dress, but felt that she looked familiar. However, she was a queen and could not look closely at her, so she didn't look at her again. Then she thought, since her name is Xiao Guanyin, she probably looks like Guanyin Bodhisattva.
. Then apply gold powder, and it will look more like Guanyin in the temple...
At this time, it is the fourth row of wine, and the pipa is played alone. It is a moment when the music is quiet, and it is for the host and guest to talk.
"Xueshi Chen," Yelu Hongji said to Chen Ke, "I have heard for a long time that you are famous for your talents and that you are the most talented person in the Song Dynasty. My queen is the most talented woman in the Liao Dynasty. Why don't you collaborate on a song to praise the customs of the Liao Dynasty?
?”
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Guanyin said in a voice like a mosquito, "It's better not to give up. I'm not feeling well today..."
"Well, you can do it as you are told, and don't let the fun down." Yelu Hongji said nonchalantly: "It's not like riding a horse to fight, you have to be strong." He said with a smile: "I will let you play the pipa to accompany you.
"
"As ordered." Xiao Guanyin had no choice but to agree.
As for Chen Ke, he had no human rights. The Lord of Liao didn't even ask him if he could do it, so he just let him play the pipa.
"Your Majesty, please come first." Chen Ke stood up and saluted.
Xiao Guanyin looked at him deeply, nodded, opened her throat slightly, and chanted the first part:
"The Khitan family lives in the clouds and sand, and their chariots are like water and horses are like dragons.
When spring comes, the grass is a thousand miles bright, and the peonies and peonies are alternately red."
The people of the Song Dynasty were immediately stunned. This Xiao Guanyin really lived up to his reputation! Not only was his poem excellent, but his voice was also extremely pleasant and refreshing. With such a heavenly voice, she must be a peerless beauty, otherwise how could she be a perfect match...
In that room, Chen Ke was also stunned. His brain, which was twice as developed as an ordinary person due to the fusion of two souls, actually crashed...
He had definitely heard this voice and would never forget it.
That night, that melodious moan...
"Xueshi Chen, why didn't you answer the question?" The sound of the pipa stopped, and Yelu Hongji smiled and said, "Could it be that my queen has suppressed you?"
"Foreign Minister..." Chen Ke calmed down and said calmly: "Foreign Minister was indeed restrained. I didn't expect that the Empress is so talented."
"Hahahaha..." Hearing the affirmation of the number one talent of the Song Dynasty, Yelu Hongji became even more happy and said with a smile: "Hey, let us appreciate the literary talent of the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty."
"Yes," the sound of the pipa continued. Chen Ke pondered for a moment and then continued:
"The big Hu leads the cart and the little Hu dances, plays the Hu pipa and tunes the Hu girls.
If you don’t return home after a spring wandering, you will have your own dome to block the wind and rain.”
"Okay!" The princes present were in love with Xueshi Chen's free and easy spirit. And those who were somewhat poetic were amazed by his mastery of Khitan people's customs.
Xiao Guanyin sounded something special in her heart. She knew that the other person's poem was written for her. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry, but she felt a little wet. It was a shame to wear Buddhist attire on your face, otherwise anyone could do it.
See her blushing.
"Queen, why are you stunned?" Yelu Hongji frowned.
"The flat sand is soft and the grass is fat, and the swans are fat, and the beetles are surrounded by thousands of horses and horses at dawn.
The flags were raised low and the surrounding area became more and more urgent, causing the sheep to fly into the sky in fright."
Xiao Guanyin's poetry was not hindered, but her voice trembled slightly, as if she was frightened by the Lord of Liao. Her pitiful style made the Song envoy feel that she was really a peony matchmaker for the Lord of Liao.
Chen Ke quickly said this time:
"Haidong is as strong as a falcon, and you can watch every move you make."
Chasing for thousands of miles, the unknown is unknown, and the feathers are falling off one after another."
This time, we swept away the previous trend and took a bold route. It depicts the scene of the Khitan people releasing Haidongqing... The 靝 is the leather sleeve used for flying eagles... It also has a huge appetite for the Khitan people, attracting
There was a round of applause.
In the room, Xiao Guanyin also calmed down and continued:
"Pingzhang's handsomeness is unparalleled in the world, and every year the sea drives away the swarms of barbarians.
A goose will get a hundred taels of gold first, and the angel will send him off to the sage king's house."
This is a scene depicting Liao people hunting swans on the sea.
Chen Ke followed her picture and continued:
"The swan's wings are made of flying iron, and it can be seen in vain when it shoots a child."
I was surprised that there was a new ginger in my belly. Yuan was a food in the south of the Yangtze River... The two of them went back and forth like this, and actually collaborated on a 200-line long poem, which fully displayed the customs of the Liao Kingdom, and the clothes and figures were exquisite.
An unparalleled masterpiece.
In that room, Li Xuan, a Khitan Hanlin scholar, had been writing down notes. When it was finally finished, Li Xuan, who was about to lie down from exhaustion, suddenly threw the pen to the ground and shouted: "This is a treasure passed down from generation to generation!"
The Lord of Liao was also very happy. He poured a glass of wine and gave it to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke stood up and stepped forward, and couldn't help but said in his heart: "It can't be a drug bar..." He was busy writing poems and had no time to think about it. Now his mind is in chaos, with all kinds of 'why' and 'what to do' mixed together.
He felt like his head was as big as two.
"Stay in Daliao and be an official," Yelu Hongji saw Chen Ke drinking a glass of wine and said with a smile, "I will make you prime minister!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just like the sage said, a loyal minister will not serve the two masters." Chen Ke did not dare to look at Yelu Hongji, lowered his head and said: "If you are not talented, you will not dare to disobey the master's teachings."
"Well, I think this saint is a big disaster." Yelu Hongji sighed with emotion: "You Han people will be killed by him sooner or later, but we Liao people can't escape either."
"..." The Song envoys had a collective black line. If the other party was not the leader of Liao, they were in the Liao camp, and they would definitely have taken advantage of it.
Chen Ke pretended not to hear anything and wanted to thank him.
But I heard a watery voice saying: "Stop."
"What are your orders?" Chen Ke had no choice but to turn to Xiao Guanyin, his head lowered even lower, almost like a bow.
"Zhong Fang is good at this," Zhao Bian commented behind him: "Don't look at anything inappropriate."
"I would also like to offer you a glass of wine." Xiao Guanyin stretched out her slender jade hand, held up a jade cup, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Thank you, Master Chen, for your generous gift!"
Chen Ke never knew that the human voice could be so expressive and could hear several extremely complex emotions at the same time.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. It's an honor for me to write a poem with you." Chen Ke raised his hands.
Queen Xiao handed the wine to him.
Chen Ke went to pick him up.
Their hands were shaking slightly, both wanting to avoid skin contact, but their fingers were still together like a magnet. Suddenly, their whole bodies felt like they were being shocked by electric shock, and half of their wine was spilled.
This caused a roar of laughter in the tent, and the Khitan princes laughed and said: "I have heard that Bachelor Chen is not a womanizer. The queen is so nervous even when she is toasting. Is it possible that she is still a young child?"
Chen Ke flushed with shame, took the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, handed it back to Xiao Guanyin, thanked him again, and returned to his seat as if running away.
Only Xiao Guanyin knew that, taking the opportunity to hand back the wine glass, this fellow secretly scratched the palm of his hand with his little finger, causing half of his delicate body to go numb. He said angrily in his heart, this pervert knows that I am the queen.
How dare you... After the toast, Xiao Guanyin felt tired and left the banquet, but the banquet did not end until midnight.
On the way back, Zhao Zongji asked Chen Ke in a low voice: "You are not normal today..."
Chen Ke said in despair: "I want to die now..."
"Want to die?" Zhao Zongji asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"I am a principled person." Chen Ke sighed: "I broke the precept unintentionally. It is really a sin...divide...how about the fourth update, it really is true! Why don't you vote to encourage me! (To be completed)
