Time: Youshi (5 p.m. to 7 p.m., see the bottom ps~~O(∩_∩)O~)
Location: On the way to the palace.
Shou banquet time: Xu Shi (7 p.m. to 9 p.m.)
After waiting for seven days, today finally ushered in the birthday of Emperor Qi! Success or failure, here's all...
The streets of the capital are empty, and their prosperity is beyond words. On such a long and wide road leading to the yellow magnificent building, a high-end but not gorgeous carriage slowly passes by...
Through the slightly raised curtain, a pair of dark eyes like the sky of the night sky reflected the scene flashing outside the car, but the light and shadow in the eyes flashed but could not provoke the slightest waves in the woman's eyes.
"Miss?"
"It's okay. Just follow the plan." Hearing the call of the woman in the car, Xi Xinmiao turned around and sat down, looking pale and not at all.
Looking at the young lady who had closed her eyes, Bing Ning stopped talking, and the carriage fell into a period of silence...
At the gate of the palace.
"Hoo----"
"Miss, here we are." The driver jumped out of the carriage, pulled the reins of the horse in one hand, stroked the mane at the horse's neck with the other hand, and hinted to the master in the curtain.
in the car
"Yingning, if someone asks me, remember how you should answer."
"Yes, Bing Ning wrote it down."
"Ye, get out of the car." Open your eyes, hide the depth of the bottom of your eyes in the dark, and take the lead in getting up and going out.
As soon as she got out of the car, Xi Xinmiao saw a carriage not far away. Unlike Xi Xinmiao's carriage, there were bright red tassels hanging on both sides of the front of the car, which swung with the car. There was a unique Wanli woman, especially the "Cheng" wooden plate hanging above the left side of the front of the car, which has undoubtedly informed the identity of the owner.
Cheng Shishi, she also arrived at this time. It's really a coincidence!
Bingning also saw the Cheng family's carriage and couldn't help frowning when she remembered that Miss Cheng. She didn't like her! I don't know why, but I just intuitively don't like it.
"Let's go." He said a word and left by himself.
Bing Ning nod, followed quickly, and followed without words.
......
As soon as Cheng Shishi got out of the car, she saw the two masters and servants walking in front of her: the recalcitranted back was dressed in simple black. She seemed to love black, and she was also particularly suitable for black. There was no other person in the world who could wear such a noble and outstanding black clothes.
The temperament, arrogant, noble, unrestrained but unrestrained, always unfolds with an uncontrollable momentum, forcing people to dare not compete with it.
However, the curvature of Cheng Shishi's lips suddenly became a little strange, so what? She will soon pay for her pride, soon...
At this time, there is still a long time before Xu, but almost all the people present are ready. Those officials and family members greet each other intimately, and the well-dressed daughters and girls are intertwirling among the princes and ministers, or around the new homemade table, they are surprised and ask their organizers. It is a great admiration for Princess Huayang to come up with such an unprecedented initiative!
This birthday banquet is full of attention to the literature and martial arts of the Dynasties, and coupled with Huayang's overwhelming publicity of this self-service banquet, those who heard the news are famous early. A banquet is only the protagonist who comes late.
Or everyone's attention is on the new dining table. The arrival of Xi Xinmiao did not cause much response, but she is obviously satisfied with this result.
Looking at Huayang's calm blade among the ministers, or because she is praised by the people around her, or because the crimson wine in the high-foot glass in her hand is reflected through the light and shadow, she looks more radiant and elegant at this moment.
At a glance between talking and laughing with everyone, Huayang saw a Xi Xinmiao standing in a slightly corner: she was dressed in black, exuding inaccessible alienation and indifference. Her hair was simply tied into a bunch without any decoration. Looking at it carefully, she found that she didn't even wear earrings!
She stood there straight like that. No one went up to talk to her, and she didn't mean to talk to her. Maybe this was a lonely woman. Huayang suddenly felt for a moment that Xi Xinmiao was a person who was incompatible with the world. His lonely temperament was indescribable.
After a few words of greeting with the surrounding ministers, Huayang walked to the woman with his skirt.
Xi Xinmiao put her hands around her chest and looked coldly at the people around her, but her mind turned thousands of times: the shadow should have been guarding the heart tower. Han didn't know where it was. After that night, he seemed to evaporate again. If he didn't show up, no one knew where he was, but she knew that he would definitely appear. Then everything is short of the east wind of longevity.
Bing Ningjing stood by the side and didn't say anything. She didn't talk much. Both the master and servant are cold-hearted people, which is quieter and looks a little strange...
The afterglow seemed to feel that someone was approaching. He turned his head and looked at it, but he saw Huayang approaching with a bright face.
"So you're here. Why don't you catch up with those young ladies?" Huayang said in a familiar tone, and his eyebrows were bent. Blessing to the buffet, she is very fond of Xi Xinmiao now.
"My heart is weird. I think those young ladies can't stand my heart. It's good to be quiet." Xi Xinmiao said lightly, "It seems that everyone feels good about this form of banquet."
Turn the topic to what Huayang is most concerned about now.
"No, if I can get my father's award this time, I will thank you well."
"I am frightened. I just put forward this proposal, but the person who really implements it is the princess. This credit should be the princess's gain, and I dare not take credit." A modest but not humble answer.
"Miss Xi is indeed a person who knows the gift. I haven't seen the wrong person. Don't worry, if the banquet is held successfully, I will reward you well!"
When you came and went with Huayang, I suddenly heard a sharp duck voice cutting through the sky. "Your Majesty arrived--".
"Hangt Long live the emperor, long live the queen, thousands of years, thousands of years." The ministers knelt down, and the mountains resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Emperor Qi walked slowly between the kneeling courtiers, and the king's spirit was undoubtedly obvious. The mother of a country lived slightly behind, keeping a certain distance, and the phoenix skirt sprinkled on the ground with dignity. In the end, Concubine Li is also beautiful and extraordinary.
The clothes are as beautiful as brocade, and the people are as beautiful as jade.
"All the ministers are flat."
"Thank you." Everyone got up.
"Huayang, is this what you call a buffet?" Emperor Qi was really happy today, and even his tone was a little brisk. He was extremely curious to see such a different banquet form.
"Father, you don't know something. This is thanks to Miss Xi's proposal, otherwise I can't think of such a trick." Huayang smiled and hugged his father. Although he was married, he still kept a daughter in front of Emperor Qi.
"Oh? I didn't expect that the girl of the Xi family was still thinking like this. Emperor Qi's eyebrows were smiling, and he was obviously extremely happy.
"It's the princess's praise, and her heart is just a gift." Xi Xinmiao took a step and lowered her head to answer.
"If you don't make a contribution, you are a good daughter taught by the general!" Emperor Qi laughed and praised him.
"Your Majesty, if Miss Xi comes up with such a good idea, you should reward her well." The queen on the left side smiled at Emperor Qi, as dignified and luxurious as ever.
"What the queen said is very good, there are rewards."
After a thank you, retreat to one side. At this moment, a sharp voice came from the entrance: "The Lord of the State of Chu sent an envoy to -" "The envoy of the State of Lu came to congratulate -----"
The whole audience was in an uproar: the messengers of the State of Chu and Lu are coming!? Usually, the relationship between the Three Kingdoms is relatively tense, but the State of Lu is familiar with the art of witchcraft, but it has little contact with the outside world. How can he congratulated him here today? Is it really just so simple to celebrate your birthday?
And the State of Chu has not paid tribute in recent years. A few months ago, the State of Qi sent envoys to the State of Chu to ask the reason, but the State of Chu said that the tribute was just a bet between the two generals, Xi and Su. At that time, the losers bet that they promised to pay the winner's tribute in their lifetime. Now that General Su Qin has passed away, the bet will naturally no longer be established. I'm afraid that they will throw out a yellowed paper as if they don't believe it, saying that there is evidence. The envoy of the State of Qi was embarrassed and returned to the State of Qi, so this tribute was over.
Now on the birthday of Emperor Qi, Chu and Lu went to congratulate him at the same time, which had to be thought-provoking.
In the noise of the crowd, the envoys of the two countries have been led by the deep-clothed eunuchs and stepped into this royal garden.
"Your Majesty the State of Qi, this messenger, with the will of the Lord of the State of Chu, congratulate you on your new birthday and offer you the most sincere greetings of the people of the State of Chu." The messenger of the State of Chu bent slightly to Emperor Qi. The messenger was like an emperor, representing the lord of his own country. He did not need to kneel down.
The heart beside him suddenly shook, and the sound was so familiar! Isn't it...
Look up and follow the messenger of the State of Chu: the beautiful brown eyes like amber, always a bright smile like the sun, it's him! Haozi! Why is he here?
"The envoy of the State of Lu also congratulates the Emperor of Qi on his birthday on behalf of his own country. He hopes that both countries can develop together and seek the well-being of the world."
"Hahaha, okay, there are messengers from the two countries. The messengers come from afar and think that they are tired. It's just right to drink and watch the performance with our ministers of the State of Qi."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a courtesy, the banquet officially began.
In the past, the banquet ministers sat in their own seats and lived separately on both sides, while the open space in the middle was used for performance. Now the form has changed, and there is a long square table in the middle, and all kinds of wine and food are placed together on it. People can walk around and move around to get food. Of course, what is prepared for the emperor is another table. You can't really call the emperor so "pro-people". After all, it is a feudal society.
It's also a little special to be placed on the stage of performance.
Xi Xinmiao's brain is single and she is too lazy to deal with it. The best way is to "plagiarize"~~ Search all the plots of the novels she read at night before she traveled through time and all kinds of ancient costume TV series she watched on TV. Finally, she made a bold decision: "Drums."
Not bad, it's a drum. However, this drum is "a little" big, about one person is tall, and people can stand on it and perform all kinds of things.
She also tried to say this, but Huayang listened brightly and accepted it happily. This process goes from putting forward ideas to passing orders and then to the final production. In just a few days, the amount of work can be imagined. But this is not what Xi Xinmiao should care about.
At present, she looks at the big drum, where someone has already appeared...
