Chapter 238: The Emperor's Family Banquet

Shi Wen'er sat at the very end of the main hall, the farthest away from the three people who were high above. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He didn't dare to stare at it, he could only see a piece of gold.

In the middle is the golden Li Chenghe, and the Empress Dowager Zheng and Zhao Lili sit on both sides. The dresses of the two of them were also golden yellow, but the color was slightly different. Shi Wen'er swept it, and could only see the same two white faces and red lips, facial features or something, but they were blurred.

Underneath the three of them, a woman in a beige robe sat quietly on the seat, except for the occasional rise to pour wine for the emperor and the queen mother, the rest of the time seemed as if it didn't exist. She is Concubine De Murong Qianqian. is also because of the high platform, and Murong Qianqian's outfit is extremely light, which makes people feel ethereal and vague.

Despite this, Shi Wen'er still felt that the three most authoritative gazes on it always looked at her. It gives him an invisible sense of oppression. He withdrew his gaze and looked at the person seated in His Highness.

Sitting next to the high platform was naturally Prince Yun Li Yuehua, and opposite him was the Prince Rui Syngman Rhee who lived in a simple place. Rhee's mother died young, and he was raised by Empress Dowager Zheng. Different from the sturdy and stocky appearance of ordinary Shatuo people, Syngman Rhee has fair skin, a weak and slender figure, a pair of white hands are always shaking nervously, and his eyes are slightly closed, as if he will never wake up.

Next to Syngman Rhee is Prince Rui's princess Zhang. She is the commander of the right army of the Yulin Army, and the eldest daughter of Zhang Shuyuan. This Zhang's thick eyebrows and big eyes, his eyes are firm, and the maid behind him is also tall and big, like a man. Sitting with her husband, it was a stark contrast.

Next to Li Yuehua is Li Anxi, the eldest princess of Weicheng. Li Anxi is only fourteen years old, and he is somewhat similar to his mother, Empress Dowager Zheng. Her hair was combed in a high bun on her slightly immature face, and her wide robe was draped over her undersized body, like a child stealing an adult's clothes. But a pair of eyes reveal sharpness and insight into people's hearts, but people dare not underestimate them.

Princess An Xi quickly noticed Shi Wen'er's gaze, and following his eyes, Princess An Xi turned to Shi Wen'er and smiled at the handsome and charming Emperor Shangguan. Shi Wen'er also smiled slightly, lowered her head and bowed.

When Wen'er raised her head again, Princess An Xi no longer paid attention to him, but talked happily with her cousin, Mrs. Huaguo, Zheng Yujuan.

Mrs. Huaguo has cloud temples and phoenix hairpins, and her skin is as white as jade. The lips are also rubbed with red rouge like the Queen Mother and the Empress. The wide rosy robe on his body glistened in the light. The delicate and luxurious peony embroidery is the authentic Shu embroidery at a glance.

The embroidery village of Xu Jie and his wife is flourishing in Luoyang, and now, wearing a Shu embroidery embroidered by the chief and the national embroidery girl, it is a symbol of the status of high-ranking officials and noble women.

By Mrs. Huaguo's side, that is, opposite Shi Wen'er, was the elegant and handsome Privy Council Scholar Zheng Yu. At this moment, the handsome and beautiful prince was squinting slightly, listening to the music of the hall, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, and reveling in the music.

This music is indeed intoxicating, in the crimson curtain in the corner of the main hall, Hu Lingjun, who is like a celestial, is dressed in white like the moon. The slender fingers gently swiped the strings in front of him, like flowing water, as if telling a story of wind and snow.

Shi Wen'er looked at the beautiful figure under the crimson curtain, and couldn't help but be intoxicated by this person's music. Just like floating in the sky, the middle-aged scribe-like person in a green robe next to him took the initiative to greet him: "Hello Mr. Shi." ”

Shi Wen'er hurriedly returned the salute, and the people who came to the banquet today were all from the Li family, and there were no foreign ministers. In order to show closeness, except for the three emperors and queens on the stage, the rest of them did not dress according to their grades. Therefore, Shi Wen'er couldn't guess the identity of this person in green, but from the crystal clear jade pendant on his waist, he guessed that this person was not ordinary.

He had no choice but to ask humbly: "Forgive me for being clumsy, dare to ask, this brother is ......"

The man in green didn't care that Shi Wen'er didn't know who he was, he replied with a smile: "Kong Qian, the deputy envoy of the Xia Yong Yuan." ”

When Shi Wen'er heard that the person in front of him was the deputy envoy of the Rent Yong Yuan, who was in charge of the world's financial power, he couldn't help but be solemn. You must know that Zheng Ange has always been the envoy of the Rent Yong Academy, and he has always been concerned about the specific affairs of the Rent Yong Yuan, so this Kong Qian actually controls the world's money and grain scheduling. Salt and iron, the degree branch, and even the household department were all mixed in the hands of this handsome and handsome scribe.

Shi Wen'er replied respectfully: "It turned out to be the deputy envoy of Confucius in the Rent Yong Yuan, and he really had no eyes in the lower ranks, and he didn't know the food and clothing, the parents, and the officials." ”

Kong Qian returned the salute humbly, and replied with a smile: "Mr. Shi's words made Kong embarrassed, the parents of food and clothing in this world should be the people of the world, when will it be their turn?" It's just that the Queen Mother and the Lord are in love with each other, and they are in charge of these people's fat and people's anointing, so that the hard-earned money of these people in the world can be spent where it should be spent. ”

Shi Wen'er only had a trace of respect for this Kong Qian at this time, and he said respectfully: "Deputy Envoy Kong cares about the people of the world, which is really the blessing of the world, the blessing of the community, and the blessing of the people of Li." ”

A heart-stirring flute sounded softly, interrupting the conversation between the two. The graceful dancing girl entered the hall with the sound of the flute. The women danced in long sleeves, countless delicate petals fluttered gently, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers was intoxicating. The dancing girls spread out in all directions, and in the rain of flowers, a girl in white appeared like an orchid in the hollow valley, with her light and graceful, ethereal dancing, wide sleeves opened and closed to cover, and set off her beautiful posture.

At this time, the sound of the flute suddenly turned urgent, the girl took her right foot as the axis, lightly stretched her long sleeves, and her delicate body rotated, turning faster and faster, and suddenly flew up from the ground. Dozens of dancing girls formed a circle, waving their jade hands, dozens of blue ribbons fluttered out lightly, the hall seemed to be flooded with blue waves, and the girl flew to the ribbon in the air, slender feet, fluttering clothes, like a Lingbo fairy.

There was applause in the hall, and the sound of surprise was endless. The girl in white walked to the high platform, poured wine for the queen mother, emperor and queen one after another, and saluted separately with Concubine Murong De. Shi Wen'er asked Kong Qian beside her curiously: "I don't know which lady this is?" ”

Kong Qian glanced at Shi Wen'er and said with a smile: "This is Concubine Ma Li from the State of Chu, Prime Minister Ma's daughter." ”

Shi Wen'er nodded and watched Concubine Ma Li sit next to Concubine Murong De. Because everyone was looking at Concubine Ma Li on the stage, Shi Wen'er looked at the stage with confidence. It's just that as far as he can see, it is Zhao Lili who is wearing queen makeup.
