The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 120 The Feast of Qiongfang (3)
Emperor Xuande looked majestic, stretched out a hand, lifted it up slightly, and said: "The emperor's son is free, and all the relatives are seated."

"My son thanked the emperor." Feng Yichen and Feng Yixiao got up and took their seats at the same time after performing the salute.

The ministers in the palace kowtowed and thanked the two princes after seeing the two princes re-entering their seats.

"The ministers thank the emperor for his kindness, wish the emperor good health, wish the empress dowager a long life, and wish the empress dowager a happy life." After the ministers thanked the emperor, Fang got up and straightened his robes, and sat back again. original position.

After Xi Wanqing took her seat again, she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked in the direction of the dragon chair.

I saw Emperor Xuande in a bright yellow dragon robe sitting upright on the dragon chair. He looked like he was in his 50s. Xi Wanqing had a habit of looking at his eyes first when looking at people. Emperor Xuande's eyes were pitch black , piercing and energetic, although his complexion looks a little old, but it can't hide the sharpness in his dark eyes, which is the ruthlessness of an emperor. He has two sharp mustaches on his lips, and his forehead His two eyebrows are like the sharp edge of a sword, and his gray hair is tied up with a pure gold crown. He looks in good spirits. Xi Wanqing can tell at a glance that this is a shrewd and ruthless emperor.

Tonight, the queen is wearing an exquisite phoenix robe, and phoenix birds embroidered with golden threads are vividly floating on the gorgeous dress. The silk embroidered shoes were looming, and she also wore an exquisite phoenix crown on her head. The pearls on the phoenix crown were shining brightly, shining brightly, showing the demeanor of a queen everywhere.

Compared with the empress, the empress dowager's attire is much more mature. It is also brocade clothes, but what is precipitated is not exaggerated, but reveals the majesty that a empress dowager should have.

Xi Wanqing sized up the three people on the main seat, and having a general understanding of Emperor Xuande, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager in her heart, she lowered her head and looked only in front of her eyes.

The Qiongfang Feast is just like any other banquet. Everyone is covered with nectar, jade dew, and all kinds of pastries. Xi Wanqing has no interest in this Qiongfang Feast. The long night is long and the toasts are intertwined. Only the delicious food in front of you can Help you pass the time.

After the banquet started, Feng Yixiao first made a toast to Emperor Xuande, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress. This toast was nothing more than saying something to please the emperor.

After Feng Yixiao finished his toast, Feng Yichen drank a glass of wine for himself, he got up elegantly, and stood in front of Emperor Xuande in a crescent white robe.

"I respect my father, my grandmother, and my empress." Feng Yichen lightly raised his wine glass. He looked at Emperor Xuande, then at the queen mother, and finally glanced at the queen. He didn't call her mother, but called He called out to Empress Empress.

Emperor Xuande drank the wine and said lightly: "Chen'er has a heart."

After Feng Yichen and Feng Yixiao finished toasting Emperor Xuande with wine, the ministers raised their wine glasses one after another according to their ranks, and flattered Emperor Xuande.

Among the female relatives, some high-ranking wives and queens, the queen mother said something, but those noble ladies looked around the hall from time to time, and those who were more noble dared to go to the two princes Xiao Xiangfeng Yichen and Feng Yixiao For those with a lower status, just look at which young master in the palace is handsome.

Ever since Feng Yichen entered the hall, Bai Shuixing's watery eyes had never left his body, but it was a pity that Feng Yichen never looked back at her from the beginning to the end.

Xi Zhuyan is also the same, with a pair of beautiful apricot eyes, silently filled with tenderness, always following Feng Yixiao's figure.

After everyone drank a round of wine, a group of court dancers poured into the palace.

These dancers are dressed very coolly, with light gauze covering their bodies, and the willow waists that are as bright as jade are looming. With the dancing of the light gauze, the hall suddenly sings and dances. Ji Pianran danced, but looking at the eyes of those ministers, all of them were cloudy. I don't know if these ministers are watching a song and dance, or looking at a woman.

It was just a song and dance, Emperor Xuande waved his hand, the dancers saluted with interest, and then retreated out of the hall.

Xi Wanqing unconsciously shook her head slightly. Just now she also watched the singing and dancing in the field with a lack of interest, and felt that she really didn't have much interest in these singing and dancing. Qiongfang's feast was only mediocre, but this There are too few entertainment items in the era, and if you hold a banquet or something, you can really only watch the dancing of these singers and dancers.

Xi Zhuyan was sitting at the side, she saw Xi Wanqing shook her head boredly, deliberately raised her voice, and asked, "Fifth Sister, do you think this Qiongfang feast is too boring?"

Xi Wanqing tilted her head and glanced at Xi Zhuyan, Xi Zhuyan was trying to harm her, this Qiongfang banquet was a royal feast, whoever dared to face the emperor would find that the feast at the emperor's house was boring, it was not courting death.

"No, my younger sister thinks Qiongfang's feast is very interesting. The dance just now was beautiful. Could it be that the second sister thinks Qiongfang's feast is boring." Xi Wanqing blinked her big eyes a few times, and said with an innocent expression His voice was a little higher than Xi Zhuyan's.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, several noble ladies beside her turned their heads to look westward, and even the queen looked towards the seat of An Guohou's mansion.

Xi Zhuyan was in a hurry, a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he did not forget to defend himself: "What stupid things did the fifth younger sister say? Why would my sister think that Qiongfang's feast is boring? Qiongfang's feast is a palace feast, and it is subject to the emperor's approval." , Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager's Long En, only my sister can come to such a banquet, and it's too late for my sister to be happy, how can I feel bored."

The words of Xi Zhuyan's defense were quite perfect, and then the pair of eyes watching the show beside him were retracted, and the queen also stopped, and retracted the previous cold eyes in satisfaction.

After the queen withdrew her eyes from Xi Zhuyan, she leaned slightly closer to Emperor Xuande, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, if you want to come, you are tired of watching the songs and dances in the palace, why don't you take advantage of this wonderful Qiongfang?" A grand feast, where talents and beauties gather together, let these juniors perform their own performances, and add some new fun to this feast of beauty."

After listening to the Queen's suggestion, Emperor Xuande felt that it was very reasonable, and nodded: "Yes."

In the Qiongfang feast over the years, there will always be a few talented scholars and beauties showing off their splendor in the hall. This year's Qiongfang feast, Emperor Xuande once again granted permission, and everyone in the hall is happy. Those ministers are all hope, and their own The daughter can show her demeanor in front of the holy face and win the approval of the emperor, so that she can find a good marriage.

In the middle of the banquet, when the noble ladies were about to go to the hall to show off their demeanor, to everyone's surprise, Jun Wuxi, the number one son in the world, walked towards the hall at a leisurely pace.
