Prosperous advisors

Chapter 154 The distance between the princess and the princess (2)
A harsh and sharp voice sounded, and all the courtiers stood up and knelt to greet them, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Empress Dowager! Your Empress!" The envoys and people like Wei Wuji who came to congratulate their birthdays did not need to kneel down, but they also stood up as a gesture of respect. tribute.

The Emperor Hua and the Empress supported the Empress Dowager out from the left and the Empress, and helped the Empress Dowager to sit down on the right hand side of the dragon chair, then turned around and smiled at the crowd: "All Your Honors are flat."

The Empress Dowager is nearly [-] years old this year, and she has long since retired to the harem to eat fast and chant Buddha.He never intervenes in the affairs of the harem, nor does he care about the battles between the princes. Except for the large banquets that he must attend, he hardly stays in the harem.Perhaps it was also because of the empress dowager's indifferent fame and fortune that both the emperor and the empress respected the empress dowager very much.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Everyone thanked En and got up, Huahuang sat on the high dragon chair, condescendingly looking down on everyone below.When he saw Mu Qingyi sitting next to Princess Mingwei, Hua Huang nodded in satisfaction to Princess Mingwei.Obviously very happy with the friendship between her daughter and Mu Qingyi.Princess Mingwei looked indifferent, she and Mu Qingyi didn't get along well because the Emperor Hua valued Mu Qingyi, there were many people that the Emperor Hua valued, and as the eldest princess, she didn't have to make friends with all of them.It's just because she felt that she hit it off with Mu Qingyi when they met for the first time.

Everyone congratulated Huahuang Shengshou in unison, Huahuanglong was overjoyed, and loudly announced the start of the banquet.

All of a sudden, there was the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall, and the dancers dressed in colorful gauze slowly entered the arena and danced lightly.The maids shuttled through the hall with all kinds of fresh fruits and fine wines, delivering what the guests needed at any time.

Banquets are actually a very boring thing. When Mu Qingyi was still Gu Yunge, she had to attend countless banquets with Mrs. Gu every year.Even though tonight's banquet seems to be unprecedentedly grand, it will not become more interesting.But Mu Qingyi knew that there would be something different to look forward to at tonight's banquet, but that should be left to the end. Before that, she had to endure at least two hours of boring time.

Sitting next to Princess Mingwei, although Mu Qingyi's face was calm and calm, her thoughts had gone to nowhere.From where Ruthless did Mu Ling go? I thought that if I didn't come to this boring banquet, I could take the opportunity to do something. Then I thought that Zhu Mingyan, who was still mad in the prison of Yingtian Mansion, and who was alone in the backyard of the Qin Mansion didn't know. Big brother who has no rest.

"Changning, Changning?" Princess Mingwei's voice came from next to her ear, and Mu Qingyi came back to her senses, blinked her eyes and looked calmly at Princess Mingwei, "Princess, what's wrong?"

Princess Mingwei said in a low voice, "You've been watching... is Mr. Wei okay?"

ah?Mu Qingyi looked back, and sure enough, she saw Wei Wuji on the opposite side looking at her with a frown, and at the same time, Qian Ling who was leaning on Wei Wuji's side, with slightly frown eyebrows and tears in her eyes.It was only then that Mu Qingyi realized that she had been looking at Wei Wuji when she was in a trance.Seeing Qian Ling's expression, Mu Qingyi's scalp tingled suddenly.Didn't Qian Ling think that she had something on Wei Wuji's mind?Mu Qingyi had a premonition that if she got involved with this woman named Qian Ling, it would be more troublesome than getting involved with Princess Huaiyang and Princess Minghui at the same time.

Apologetically, she smiled at Qianling, Mu Qingyi turned her head and smiled at Princess Mingwei, "No, I just got lost in thought." Only then Princess Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that Mu Qingyi was Didn't he also fall in love with Wei Wuji?After seeing what happened to Princess Minghui, Mu Qingyi's intelligence should not make the same mistakes as Princess Minghui, but Princess Mingwei also has to admit that Wei Wuji does have the capital and ability to attract women, "Why do you think so? Trance?"

Mu Qingyi smiled helplessly and said, "This is the first time I'm attending such a banquet, and it's kind of boring."

Princess Mingwei nodded in agreement, and said: "This kind of banquet is really boring." Except for those concubines and little princesses who are locked in the deep palace and have nothing to do all year round, they will find this kind of banquet interesting. Quite boring.It's just that no matter whether it's boring or interesting, they have to pretend to be honored and happy to participate in this kind of banquet throughout the whole process, "We arranged to watch fireworks in the middle, and then we can go outside for a walk."

Since it was a grand banquet for the officials, naturally they couldn't just focus on the people in the hall. After all, only a small number of people who came to the banquet could enter the hall, and most of them were outside the hall.So in the middle of the banquet, Huahuang had to go out to have a drink with all the courtiers, and then enjoy the grand fireworks show together.It is said that people from the Ministry of Fireworks have been preparing for more than half a year. Not only can it be seen in the palace, but almost all the people in the capital can see it clearly.It can also be regarded as the meaning of sharing joy with the people and celebrating together.

Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Thank you princess for reminding me."

"Report to Your Majesty, in order to congratulate His Majesty on his long life, I, Princess Mingzhu of Gaoju Kingdom, specially arranged a dance for His Majesty." While the two were discussing boredom, the envoy of Gaogu Kingdom stood up and spoke.Gaoju Kingdom is just an island country in the southeast of Hua Kingdom. The country is small and the people weak.It has always been a vassal state of a powerful country in the Central Plains, and now it is regarded as a vassal state of Hua Guo.This time they also brought a princess with them, but Gaoju Kingdom was naturally inferior to Northern Han and Xiyue, and needed the princess of Hua Kingdom to accompany them in person.Even the banquet ranks far behind Xiyue and Beihan.

Hua Huang raised his hand, the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall stopped immediately, and the dancers left the stage one after another.Hua Huang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Gaoju Guo is good at singing and dancing, and I also want to see Princess Gaoju's dance." The three kingdoms of Han and Hua have just signed a peace agreement not long ago.And now they are going to take advantage of Huahuang's birthday and get married to consolidate this peace agreement.The effects of other peripherals are naturally not far behind, either giving the princess a marriage or giving a beautiful woman as a gift.Gao Juguo sent the most outstanding Pearl Princess in the country, but the gap between the two countries is too big to be regarded as a formal marriage.If Princess Huaiyang or Princess Yongjia would enter the palace as a concubine, this Princess Mingzhu would be a noble person at most.

Since they were going to get married in the first place, Hua Huang didn't care about letting people see now.So he suggested to the queen mother that the ladies, princesses and princesses who are willing to perform perform for the queen mother.The Empress Dowager certainly understood that Hua Huang's true intention was not just to please herself, there must be more meanings, so she nodded in agreement without objection.

The first to appear is naturally the Pearl Princess of Gaogu Kingdom.The melody arranged by the Pearl Princess herself really took a lot of thought. At the beginning, the musicians from the Gaogu Kingdom played the elegant music of their own country.

Although the country of Gaoju is small and the people are weak, it can afford Huahuang's proficiency in singing and dancing. Even the princess is also very skilled in dancing.Of course, this does not rule out the result of Princess Pearl's deliberate training because she is about to be sent to China.But this is a very novel thing for the noble ladies of Huaguo.Because in Huaguo, ladies can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but singing and dancing can only be done by prostitutes.Looking at Princess Pearl dancing in the hall, although many people had a hint of disdain on their faces, it was hard to tell if there was any sign of envy.
