Wu Liuyun, who is usually known for his indifference, turned out to be like a little girl. Many men were stunned by such a charming smile. But when I think that this fairy will probably enter the palace in the future, I feel sad.
Wu Sheyue lowered her head to eat without raising her eyes. She estimated that this seemingly unworldly young lady was also trying to curry favor with the old lady.
The Queen Mother laughed at her, "Oh, look at you. If someone marries you, it will be such a blessing."
Wu Liuyun's face was slightly red, and she looked even more pleasant. She lowered her head and glanced at the prince secretly. It could be seen that the prince seemed to be preoccupied. He was just drinking alone and didn't even look at her.
Wu Liuyun sighed secretly. He probably didn't hear what was said here. After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother went to talk about other things, and Wu Liuyun sat back consciously.
When she turned her head, she saw Wu Sheyue eating the most happily, and she thought with disgust: What is she worried about? How could a person like this snatch the prince away.
—
After just one song and dance, Wu Sheyue was full. She put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, straightened her veil, and prepared to rest for a while to digest before fighting. The speed just now was too fast, which was a bit stomach-turning.
The eunuch looked at the clock. As soon as the dancer over there left, he immediately poked at the door and shouted: "The envoy of Mingqi is here to see-"
Yu Jing never looked at the woman swaying in front of him. He was twirling the wine glass in his hand with his eyes lowered. When he heard the eunuch's voice, the movement of his hand stopped.
Everyone at the banquet immediately looked towards the door. Ming Qiguo would send very novel gifts at this time every year. I wonder what would be fun this year.
At this time, a man in rich clothes and a mustache walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he said cheerfully and loudly: "His Majesty Long Fuguo, the envoy of Mingqi has come to pay tribute."
The emperor smiled and nodded, not caring about the messenger's loud voice, and said with great emotion: "Duanmuhe, it's you again. We see you once a year."
Duanmuhe chuckled, folded his hands and bent down, "Duanmuhe comes here every year, and he has feelings for this place. If our emperor doesn't ask me to come any year, I will feel uncomfortable. Now I have met His Majesty Long Fu. , it actually felt like I had met His Majesty Mingqi, and felt like I was home."
"Hahahaha, Duanmuhe, Duanmuhe, you are still so good at coaxing people." Although the emperor said this, he still had a smile on his face.
Wu Sheyue looked at this Mingqi man. He looked rough and careless, but he was very considerate. He made the emperor happy with just one sentence. No wonder he is sent here every year as a veteran, he is simply the strong glue for harmony between countries!
Duanmuhe said: "What I just said was my sincere intention. Please allow me to ask someone to bring things over. That is your Majesty's intention."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Yes."
Duanmuhe turned around and waved, and several guards came in one after another carrying two boxes of things. But the boxes were all covered with red cloth, so you couldn't tell what they were. Judging from the guard's movements, that thing must be heavy.
Everyone looked around in whispers. Duanmuhe walked up to the first box and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look." He raised his hand and lifted up the red cloth. Inside were two big birds controlled by iron dragons. Many women at the table exclaimed in surprise, because the two peacocks were actually different from the blue and green of ordinary peacocks, but white and gold.
With such a color, it looks very clean and white, yet gorgeous and rich! The two birds seemed to have fallen asleep in the darkness. The sudden light and sound woke them up, and they stood up, stretched their bodies, and looked around.
"This is a pair of golden peacocks. One female and one male, probably less than one year old, still considered young birds." Duanmuhe was very satisfied with the effect. He threw the red cloth on the ground and took a step aside to let more people take a good look. have a look.
The emperor repeatedly praised: "Okay, Mingqi's rare and exotic beasts are indeed unique."
Wu Sheyue raised her eyebrows, this...is this called a golden peacock? It's obviously not the same species, right? !
The queen's eyes lit up when she looked at the peacock. She pulled the emperor's sleeve and said softly: "This peacock is beautiful, its color is really strange." If it were all gold... it would be like a phoenix!
The emperor was in a really good mood today. He said very generously: "If the queen likes it, then I can send it to your palace to keep her."
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty." The Queen was very happy.
However, a peacock similar to a phoenix was given to the queen, and the queen mother, the old phoenix, was a little disappointed.
But Duanmuhe quickly walked to another box, opened the red sermon and said: "Your Majesty, please take a look at this."
This one turned out to be a large, square porcelain vat. However, the craftsmanship of the porcelain vat is very delicate, with blue and white dotted with water lilies. The vat is very short and looks like a basin. But in the water in the tank, there was a calla lily that was twice as big as the small table.
Many people stood up slightly from their seats just to have a good look at this lotus flower that was about to become a spirit.
Duanmuhe smiled and said: "The age of this calla lily... I don't know Duanmuhe, I must be a birthday boy."
"Okay, okay, this flower has spiritual energy!" The emperor turned to ask the Queen Mother, "How about placing it in your mother's palace?"
The Queen Mother felt quite balanced that she wanted to give herself such a long life, but she still pretended to be calm and nodded: "Well, the emperor is interested."
So, the emperor asked people to carry all the flowers and birds down. Then he said to Duanmuhe with emotion: "It's really thanks to Emperor Mingqi that he bothers so much every year."
Duanmuhe said respectfully: "This is the reciprocity of courtesy. Only when the three countries are harmonious can the people live in peace."
"Yes." The emperor nodded in agreement, "How is His Majesty Mingqi doing lately?"
"Our Emperor, His Majesty, has always been in good health."
The emperor probably had nothing to talk to anymore, so he said to the little eunuch beside him: "Hurry and sit down with the envoy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Duanmuhe saluted again and then stepped aside.
Although Ming Qi's envoy went down, the scene in front of him made the emperor think of something. He sighed, pondered for a moment and said: "Our three countries are in a tripartite relationship and are on good terms with each other. In previous years, when the Dragon and Hundreds of Flowers feasted, envoys from the two countries would come. But now in the cold land..."
When it comes to Cold Land, many people look at Yu Jing. The emperor suddenly said: "Yu Jing, your uncle is okay."
Yu Jing was looking at Duanmuhe who was not far away. When he heard his name being called, he put down the cup in his hand and raised his eyes and said: "The condition is still stable, and there is nothing serious."
"That's good." The emperor nodded thoughtfully.
However, most people still understand in their hearts that the current cold land doesn't even have the people or energy to prepare gifts for exchanges. How can it be just "no big deal"
After hearing Yu Jing's indifferent words, many women looked at him in confusion. This includes Wu Jinghua.
She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with tears, and her heart ached. It's really not easy for the young prince. His mother died young and his uncle was also seriously ill...
Wu Sheyue looked at Wu Jinghua dumbfounded, is this, is this crazy? Fan girl? Chasing stars? They didn't even have such an exaggerated pursuit of stars at that time, right

At this moment, the prince seemed to finally come out of his thoughts. He calmed down for a while, got up and walked to the main hall to prepare to lead the attack.
As soon as the prince comes forward, it will be regarded as the formal bell for this feast.
Xin Yu said loudly: "Father, my father gave all Mingqi's gifts to my grandmother and queen mother. I have something here that I want to give to my father."
"Really?" the emperor said with a smile, "does my prince have any novelty items again?"
Xin Yu happened to be standing right in front of Wu Liuyun, and Wu Liuyun stared closely at the man in front of him, the love in his eyes almost flying out.
Xin Yu said confidently, "I dug a piece of jade in Qingding Mountain last year, but I didn't know what to do with it. As the saying goes, jade nourishes people, so I asked someone to carve a jade bed."
Everyone below looked at each other in astonishment. Can it be made into a bed? Where have I heard of such a big jade
"It's actually a bed?"
"How big of a jade must it be? Didn't it dig out the core of the mountain?"
The emperor laughed happily and said, "You didn't talk about what happened last year until this year."
Xin Yu said with some embarrassment: "I also want to give my father a surprise. Although the bed is a little small, the craftsmen carved it very delicately. I have already sent someone to send it to my father's palace. I hope my father will be safe every day." ,sit back and relax."
Everyone felt a little itchy when they heard it, thinking that they could see such a big jade embryo.
"Okay, okay! My son's heart is really towards me." The emperor was so satisfied. Everything went well today.
Wu Sheyue gloated in advance in her heart, while Wu Liuyun didn't want to let her get better.
Just as Xin Yu mentioned craftsmen and carvings, Wu Liuyun straightened up and interrupted with a smile: "The Queen Mother, when it comes to carving crafts and birds, Liuyun's third sister is even more powerful."
Wu Sheyue's smile froze, and she cursed secretly. Wu Liuyun was really endless. Would he die if he told her to just stop and watch the show
After hearing these words, everyone turned their gazes towards Wu Sheyue. They had heard that the Third Miss Wu was showing off her skills in the Royal Garden just now...
Even Duanmuhe, who had just come to Longfu, opened his eyes wide and looked around for Wu Sheyue. It seemed that he had heard a lot of the latest rumors on the way.
As soon as the Queen Mother heard Wu Liuyun's reminder, she nodded and said, "Oh, yes, I heard about that. Prime Minister Wu."
Wu Hantian straightened up and said, "I'm here."
The Queen Mother asked with a cold face: "Why haven't the Ai family heard that you have a daughter before?"
Although the emperor did not speak, he looked at Wu Hantian meaningfully. He had long wanted to see that little girl who was said to be magical.
"My daughter... has been ugly and mentally ill since she was born, so she has not shown it to anyone." This was the first time that Wu Hantian was angry with his eldest daughter. He never thought that the daughter he had forgotten before would actually be there now. You have to say it in front of everyone. (To be continued)
