Emperor Qing had a kind face, but he looked like the king of a great country with a dignified upright look.
Singing and dancing promotes peace, and there is a lot of singing and dancing.
This kind of thing on the table is something that every emperor of the empire will not arrange at will. In the game of great powers, feasting is a very important part.
"The Queen did a good job at this night banquet."
Fortunately, tonight's night banquet went well. Emperor Qing was very satisfied with the banquet prepared by the queen, and was willing to show a smile.
"Your Majesty is absurd. This is not entirely due to the concubine's contribution. This time, it is thanks to the assistance of the concubine's sister that the banquet was able to be held as scheduled."
The queen's name is Liu Mei, and she is Liu Su's younger sister, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
She is dignified, elegant and virtuous, and she is the biological mother of the Fourth Prince Nan Yao.
Liu Mei became Emperor Qing's concubine when he was still the crown prince. The Liu family made a lot of efforts to help Emperor Qing ascend the throne, and they were very favored by Emperor Qing. Nan Yao was made the crown prince early on.
And Liu Su, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, dared to fight for a place with the left and right ministers, a large part of the reason was nothing more than his status as the uncle of the country.
After being called out by name, Emperor Qing took advantage of the situation and turned to the other side.
Lu Xiang, who was dressed in a dark blue brocade and skirt, had a cold face. She just nodded slightly, with a little indifference between her brows and eyes.
However, she didn't say anything, and the empress who was waiting to be complimented couldn't help but change her face, and a hint of sternness flashed in Liu Mei's eyes.
There are five princes and six princesses under Lu Xiang, who are of good background, no matter what is going on behind the scenes, on the surface they are loved by Emperor Qing.
After the beauty in neon clothes, singing and dancing, everyone was amazed and drunk.
Generally, when a palace banquet reaches this stage, it is when Emperor Qing wants to talk. Su Changjin, who is familiar with the process, lazily finds a comfortable seat behind him, waiting for the next long speech.
Su You was so caring, she quietly stood on the side where she and Emperor Qing were.
"His Majesty."
However, before Emperor Qing said anything, a person suddenly stood up in the row of envoys.
Lu Jingye, who had never been moved, followed his reputation, his eyes gradually turned cold.
"Prince Dodo, what's the matter?"
It was Duoduo who got up and spoke, he smiled brightly, got up and performed a standard Xirong etiquette, but it was different from what he did with Su Changjin before.
With a clear and handsome appearance, he has already provoked many official women to secretly look at him.
Duoduo didn't seem to notice it at all, "Your Majesty, when Duoduo first arrived in your country, he found that Daqing is indeed a prosperous and joyful song, and the people are peaceful and peaceful."
"..."
Tsk tsk, what a sycophant.
Duoduo is very smart, and he is quite able to prescribe the right medicine to the case. Emperor Qing has always been very happy with these words. No wonder Emperor Qing was fooled by him and set up today's palace banquet.
Su Changjin's face was slightly cool, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he was watching the play with his cheeks resting on his hands with great interest.
On the other hand, Emperor Qing's face was much happier, and he slapped his palm and laughed heartily, "I have heard that Prince Duoduo is a horse and eagle on the Xirong grassland. Today, I saw that he really has the demeanor of a prairie!"
"Yes, yes, what His Majesty said is very true..."
In the audience, naturally there is no lack of those compliments, almost as soon as Emperor Qing speaks, they have to show off immediately.
Hum, old boy.
Quietly ridiculing, Duoduo showed his true intention with a respectful face, "Daqing is a country of prosperity, and I and other nomadic teachers really admire it. Father Khan has explained to me several times. Today Duduo came here sincerely to form a good relationship with Daqing."
After saying that, he suddenly stood up, "Duoduo is willing to welcome the prince and concubine of Xirong for the good of the two countries."
To conclude a covenant is to use a good marriage as a guide.
The matter is of great importance. If it is said that Emperor Qing was afraid of Xi Rong's true thoughts before, now he has relaxed a lot about Xi Rong because of Duoduo's performance.
"Prince Duoduo is right. If we can conclude an alliance with Xirong, the two countries will have good relations with Qin and Jin, and it will also be a blessing for the people of the two countries."
Did not give a direct reply, Emperor Qing just followed Duoduo's meaning and thought about it a little.
"Then I wonder if Prince Duoduo already has a favorite candidate in his heart?"
As soon as this remark came out, many officials' daughters blushed and showed joy.
Although the sky and the earth are far away in Xirong, as a prince, Duoduo has a noble status and a handsome face. If he can get married, he will not only gain the honor of being loyal to the country, but he will also be a noble prince and concubine wherever he goes...
Seeing the excited expressions of many women, Emperor Qing was even more satisfied.
Su Changjin understood.
Emperor Qing held a night banquet, why did he have to let the officials of the third rank and above bring their relatives and children.
There are only two or three princesses in the palace who are of the right age to be married. If Xirong doesn't choose the one he likes, or Emperor Qing doesn't want to marry his own daughter, then the daughter of the clan official will be the best choice.
Ah…
Su Changjin sneered slightly in his heart, immersed in his own mind, so that when Su You coughed softly to remind her, she suddenly reacted.
Looking sideways—
Duduo's gaze came from the opposite side obliquely and stared straight at her, with a clearly visible smile in his eyes.
Many people were led away by him, and they looked towards this place together, either showing doubts or horror.
Could it be that Prince Doduo has good taste? !
"Prince Duduo, Your Majesty asked you if you have a favorite woman, why are you still staring at our regent?"
The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly quiet, and Liu Mei, as the queen, came out to smooth things over. Her seemingly teasing words made the atmosphere lively.
However, what seemed to be just an ordinary sentence made the expressions of several people present change abruptly.
"Long..." Nan Qingmian looked like she was about to cry, but was stopped by Concubine Yu in time to keep her voice from crying out.
Sitting beside the queen, Nan Yao's gentle eyes looked at Duo Duo, concealing a biting coldness.
"Master..." Looking at the people around him, Luo Ming's eyebrows were already furrowed in horror.
The tile held in Lu Jingye's hand seemed to be playing with it casually, but it was secretly pointing straight in the direction of Duoduo.
Luo Ming was startled.
Master, what happened tonight
"Return to Your Majesty, no."
The two had been looking at each other for a long time, Duoduo was finally willing to look away from Su Changjin's body, and the corners of his mouth curled up as if he had succeeded.
On the contrary, the expressions of the civil and military officials showed a bit of inexplicable regret.
"Duoduo came to Beijing not long ago, but he hasn't found a woman he likes yet, but it's okay, the flag contest between countries has not yet started, and Duduo will stay in Chang'an City for a while longer."
The implication was that Emperor Qing would have enough time to make the most favorable considerations, and he was really happy, "It's so good."
Hearing this, many official women were also overjoyed. There are still a few days before the banner contest of the martial arts alliance between countries, and they will have the opportunity to meet Duoduo.
Fortunately, not a broken sleeve.
"So that's the case. I thought that the regent was too stunning, which caused Prince Duoduo to misunderstand."
When Su Changjin looked back, Liu Su's gaze was full of sinister intent, and he met her gaze without avoiding it.
Such misleading words are clearly implying that Su Chang is like a woman in this life, without masculinity...
What was even more unexpected was the words that Duoduo gave after he smiled brightly—
"The regent is so beautiful in the world. Seeing is worth seeing once heard a hundred times. If she were a woman, Duoduo would definitely be willing to spend tens of thousands of gold to marry her. It's not easy..."
It is not easy for the country to ask for a marriage with tens of thousands of dollars.
**
Tsk, I suddenly feel that Duoduo is so good at flirting...
Lu Jingye is really a little dull~
haha, good night!
