Family Has a Concubine

The Qinghuiyuan matter quickly reached the emperor's ears.

Emperor Zhengxuan was in the palace, he had already been prepared, but it was impossible for him to appear so early at this time.

After all, he was the emperor of Daqi, and it happened that Beiyan and other dependent countries had come, and he couldn't even play early. He had to accept Beiyan and other court meetings before he could have a drink and talk with the subject countries.

Now I heard that Beiyan came to play a game in Qinghui Garden, but they actually lost the game, and they also lost two games in a row.

Emperor Zhengxuan was so angry that his beard was about to curl up: "What does that Beiyan mean? He said he borrowed grain!"

Emperor Zhengxuan seriously considered the issue of borrowing grain, but now let alone borrowing grain, people just show off their power! One of them was ridiculed, but they were ridiculed by others. They also showed their weakness to Bei Yan, and they were restrained by Bei Yan.

They weren't there yet.

Cai Jie said with an irony expression on the side: "The emperor, it's almost time for the banquet."

Only then did Emperor Zhengxuan stand up.

...

In Qinghui Garden, the atmosphere became a bit weird because of the two games that Liao Jueyao lost.

The Daqi people who were concerned about national affairs stood aside gloomily. The people from Beiyan and the other two dependent countries came to have fun, and occasionally laughed at some funny things.

At this time, there was a "bang" not far away, but the gong in the palace was struck, which meant that the state banquet was about to begin and everyone was allowed to enter the hall.

For this kind of big banquet, the banquet is held in the solemn hall.

Ye Tangcai, Zhao Yingqi and the others were watching fish in a pavilion, and heard the sound, they hurried to the main hall with a brigade.

A few people left Qinghui Garden, but they saw Chu Congke coming over and looked at Yuan Nanying affectionately: "Ying'er!"

Ye Tang twitched the corners of her mouth, Yuan Nanying was even more nauseous and vomiting, hehehe twice: "What are you, please don't come and disgust me, okay?"

Chu Congke's expression changed: "Ying'er, we have been engaged for many years..."

"Didn't you retreat after you have been married for so many years?" Yuan Nanying looked contemptuous.

Well, a wonderful kill! This aura! If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Ye Tangcai would have thought Yuan Nanying had been dropped! Sure enough, identity is the confidence of words and deeds.

Chu Congke's face turned pale for a while, and when Ye Tangcai looked at him with mockery in his eyes, there was no face to stay here, and he immediately turned away.

Ye Tangcai was speechless, she was so thick-skinned as to fight the city wall! It really deserves to be born to Aunt Fei.

"Let's go!" Shang Guan Yun said.

A few people walked along the wide avenue paved with white jade, turned left and right, and finally came to the hall. A group of eunuchs stood at the door and saw them hurriedly and thoughtfully asking questions, and then led them to their seats.

Ye Tangcai separated from Zhao Yingqi and was led to the hall.

Ye Tangcai looked up and saw a tall dragon chair and a dragon table carved with golden dragons soaring. The top was covered with splendid and lively embroidered dragons and phoenixes. The left and right sides were also on the left and right, and the long table with dragon patterns was also adjusted. This is the seat of the Queen Mother and the Prince.

After going down the three steps, there are the princes and princesses of King Liang and King Lu, the royal family and the nobles at the head and the back.

Headed by the right is Liao Shoufu, Liubu Shangshu and other officials, and further down are other officials and noble powers, and there are several rows of Hou Men Xungui sitting behind.

The central area of ​​the main hall is empty, reserved for the meeting and singing and dancing.

The banquets are not divided into male and female seats, and they are all seated according to the family.

The Chu family was arranged in the three long cases in the back row on the right.

In the case of Uncle Chu Qin, Chu Congke and Chu Miaoshu, Ye Tangcai sat down with Chu Miaohua.

Chu Feiyang and Jiang Xinxue didn't like these occasions, so they didn't declare to come at the beginning, and naturally there were no seats for them.

Ye Tangcai looked up and saw that Zhao Yingqi was sitting with King Liang over there. The big circled head was so easy to recognize, she caught it at a glance.

Why do you want to comb these two big circles on your head?

Is it because it is conspicuous? And Zhao Yingqi always loves to be a demon, can this be seen from a distance?

Thinking about it, Ye Tang twitched the corner of her mouth. Okay, she felt like she was the truth.

Ye Tangcai suddenly saw Liao Jueyao again, sitting behind Liao Shoufu with Chu Pingfeng. At this time, Liao Jueyao's expression was dim and gloomy.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch's sharp voice sounded.

Everyone stood up and bowed to salute. After three shouts of long live, Emperor Zhengxuan let his body flat and seated.

Emperor Zhengxuan and Empress Zheng sat on the head, the Queen Mother and the Prince and his wife were on the left and the other on the right.

There was a sound of silk and bamboo pipe music, the sound was thin, soft, not noisy, but warm and lively.

"The kingdom of Beiyan is coming! The kingdom of the north is coming! Dong'an is coming!" The eunuch's high voice rang loudly.

Then I saw a group of people in different clothes coming in back and forth, and it was Bei Yan who was walking in front.

The leader was a man in his thirties wearing a green-gold slant buckle robe with a handsome face. Following him were three or two women in black, followed by more than a dozen officials.

Among the three women in black, two were the ones who played chess with Liao Jueyao in Qinghui Garden.

The headed young man stepped forward to bow his hands and saw him: "Prince Beiyan Hu Mo and his envoys came to congratulate him."

While talking, the big man behind Bing dressed in a red hanger with an open chest came in with a huge object, covered with a red silk cloth with a strange totem.

The Beiyan prince Hu Mo pulled the red cloth away, and saw that it was a sandalwood dragon sculpture with beads spitting out from the dragon's mouth. The beads were exuding bursts of quiet fragrance, but it was a piece of agarwood.

Seeing this birthday gift, Emperor Zhengxuan sneered, he was still as small-hearted as ever! There are a lot of this kind of sandalwood, and the agarwood and carving skills in their mouths are a little bit interesting. But that's it!

A young man and a middle-aged man in Donglin and Dong'an each came forward: "The three princes of Donglin (the prince of Dong'an) come to congratulate."

Then someone from the back brought them into Shou Lilai. One was a huge blood jade vase with a peach for the Jiu Shou Peach, and the other gave a monkey dancing to the music, and he could still walk out of the rhythm!

Emperor Zhengxuan was amused and laughed.

If it were in previous years, he would not be expensive, only in this kind of novelty and happiness, but this year is different. In the past few years of continuous warfare, the treasury has been empty, and there is no mood for this kind of playthings.

Moreover, you have to give them a gift in return.

In the past, they all relied on themselves as a big country, and when they saw their presents shamelessly, they laughed in their hearts, and they would double the gifts in return to show their financial resources and their tolerance for going to the country.

But now, the wealth of the country is empty, and even the food and grass in Yu'anguan have become a problem, and you still have more money to return as a gift.

Thinking of this, Zhengxuan's heart sank, but with a smile on his face, he said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. Put away all the gifts and give them a seat."

The three countries of Beiyan, Donglin and Dong'an immediately bowed their hands in return: "Xie Daqin Emperor."

As he spoke, he was led by the **** to his seat.

After everyone was seated, they shouted goodbye for a banquet. Then, wine and delicacies were put on the table in turn, the benefactor sounded, and a group of dancers came in and danced. After the third round of drinking, there was another dance and retired. You stay on the side. Soft music.

At this time, a woman in black stood up where Bei Yan was doing, holding a wine glass, and arched her hands towards Emperor Zhengxuan: "Emperor Da Qin! This princess wishes you a longevity than Nanshan and a blessing like the East China Sea."

After the Long Case, Emperor Zhengxuan was taken aback, and saw that she was a woman in her twenties, with ordinary dress and ordinary appearance, who could only be regarded as a delicate woman: "This is..."

Hu Mo, the prince Beiyan said, "This is the fifth sister of the prince, Hu Naduo."

Ye Tang was startled. The two women in black just played chess with Liao Jueyao in Qinghui Garden. The most powerful thing was that she was a 16 or 7-year-old girl that year. This girl was also beautiful in appearance.

This woman in her twenties came later, she didn't look very good, her temperament was not so good, and her chess skills were not as good as the 16 or seven year old girl in front of her.

She had always believed that among the two women, the most important was the 16 or 7-year-old girl. She never expected that this humble black woman was actually Princess Beiyan.

The Beiyan princess Hu Naduo said: "I heard that your elder granddaughter, the head of the hundred officials of the Great Qi, is the first talented daughter of your Great Qi. She is known for her chess skills and is known as the first female chess player of your Great Qi. I am also a person who loves chess, and I have been admiring your first female chess player in Daqi for a long time. Today, there is the Longevity Day of the Emperor of Daqi. Let me ask for advice."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent.

All of Daqi's faces became stiff.

When the Three Kingdoms came, Da Qi naturally paid attention to their every move. Just now in the Qinghui Garden, Liao Jueyao was fighting with two women, but in the end he lost, and it was passed to Da Qi Baiguan.

Now the princess Beiyan actually said that she still wanted to ask them for advice from the first female chess player of Daqi, but she knew that they just lost to them!

I really don't know if they really didn't recognize Liao Jueyao or deliberately, Xu was deliberate, but even so, they couldn't tell that their Daji freshman chess player had lost to their Beiyan.

If he loses on the spot now, I would say with a polite manner that his chess strength is invincible and he will admit defeat, and he will end up with a magnanimous manner.

Now their representatives of Daqi lost silently first, and then they were put forward "without knowing". If they concede defeat without a fight, they will lose their momentum!

Emperor Zhengxuan's face was blue and white with anger.

Liao Shoufu's old face was green, and he hated Liao Jueyao for being too swagger, and he would take a chessboard to fight chess with others wherever he went.

If it's between these aristocratic families, it will be fine, and if you lose, you will lose, and you will lose to other countries. Knowing that today the emperor's birthday, there will be a dependent country coming over, so she even brought a chessboard to recruit Yao, and it turned out to be like this.

The prince sneered: "You Beiyan is always so aggressive. You often come to fight one another and another. A few years ago, the Qin was beaten by our Young Master Tianshu. Haven't you been afraid of losing?"

Daqi's courtiers twitched, some of them didn't care, and some of them bowed their heads and touched their noses speechlessly.
