Chapter 221
Royal Palace
At the banquet, there are singing and dancing, drums and music; and the family members of the officials are dressed in gorgeous clothes and heavy makeup.

Tangning secretly sighed: Is this a festival or a celebration?
Tang Ning met the emperor of Northern Li, the aloof emperor, half a year ago.When they met that time, Tangning hadn't figured out why she came to this strange land. She was tortured to death in Prince Ning's mansion, and her mind was muddled. She didn't have the eyes to see who was the emperor of Beili.

This time, Tangning saw it clearly and clearly, but it was as if she hadn't seen anything. The other concubines and officials were like air in Tangning's eyes.

However, the other people present looked at Tangning with complicated eyes.

Prince Ning was the dream of thousands of girls in Northern Li. Now that Concubine Ning's seat was taken by Tang Ning, the daughters of those officials' families all envied and hated Tang Ning.

In the eyes of the world, King Ning, who is not feminine, now loves the young girl next to him. His colleagues can't understand it, the emperor of Beili can't understand it, and the queen can't understand it either.

Tangning sensed these unkind gazes, so she became even more unrestrained, with an attitude of "I like you and hate me, but you can't kill me".

Tangning scanned all the concubines around the emperor, and leaned closer to King Ning and said, "Isn't Concubine Shu here? Among those women, how come I haven't seen one who looks like you?"

Tangning's words made King Ning want to laugh. He took a sip of tea to hide the smile on his lips, and said, "Today is the anniversary of my grandfather's death. After the concubine's ceremony, I will return to Jingyang Palace."

"Oh...so that's it." Tangning's eyes returned to the queen, adding a bit of disgust to this graceful and luxurious woman in a phoenix robe.It must be on purpose that she chose to hold the festival today.

Since Tangning sat down, her mind has not been idle, she has been observing and analyzing, and her mouth has not stopped, she has been eating and drinking.

The pastries in front of Tang Ning had already been eaten. She took a peek at King Ning and reached out to the pastries in front of him. King Ning grabbed her wrist.

King Ning said: "Empty your stomach and go to Jingyang Palace."

Tangning curled her lips and nodded, "Alright."

Uncle Ning won't let you eat it, so what else can you do?so boring……

Tang Ning's gaze wandered through the crowd, looking for the figures of King Yi and Yuchi Yunjun.After searching for a long time but not finding it, Tangning gave up, thinking: The two of them must avoid this kind of occasion, alas...

Suddenly, Tangning felt a small stone hit her chest. Tangning looked down and saw that it was a peanut.Tangning picked up the peanut from her robe and looked up to see who threw it over.

When Tang Ning raised her head, she met a pair of peach-blossom eyes. She was dressed in a coquettish red dress, and her tender milky skin showed that she was King Yi.It turned out that he was sitting directly opposite to him, and he didn't even see it, and he searched for it for a long time.

Tangning stuffed the peanuts into her mouth and chewed them with a smile on her face.Look at King Yi again, there is a young man in purple sitting, this... isn't this Yuchi Yunjun!
Seeing that they were both there, Tangning's eyes lit up. She slapped her thigh and happily said to King Ning, "They said it was dark under the lights, and it really is! I searched for them for a long time, but they were sitting right in front of me." !"

King Ning looked at Tang Ning sideways, his face could be as ugly as it was ugly.Tang Ning met King Ning's gloomy eyes, and the smile on her face froze instantly, regretting that she was too happy just now.

Princess Pingyang suddenly got up and came to the banquet, and politely blessed the emperor, saying: "Father, my son has a suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

The emperor was in a good mood today, and immediately laughed and said, "Mu'er, it's okay to talk about it."

"Thank you, Father!" Princess Pingyang said sweetly, then turned to look at the people present, and said: "All the young talents here are well-read poems and books, and they will be the pillars of the country in the future." Having said that, Princess Pingyang turned to look at the emperor, "Father, why don't you compose an impromptu poem? Firstly, it will give you a chance to show off your talents, and secondly, let everyone exchange and learn from each other."

The emperor laughed and slapped the table, "Okay! Muer's idea is great! Let Muer be the host, let's start!"

The ministers echoed and praised Princess Pingyang, and secretly thought about the next poetry competition.

Princess Pingyang then said to the emperor: "Father, I heard that the daughters of the Yushifu are all beautiful and charming. I am amazed to see them today. I also heard that the daughters of the Yushifu are well-read poems and books, and are proficient in rhythm. It's not groundless, so let the daughter of Yushifu take the lead, right?"

Hearing this, Tang Ning looked up at the crowd, but did not see Tang Yushi's face, and thought to herself: Twenty boxes of gold, more than one thunderbolt from the blue sky!Tang Yushi probably won't come, right?

Tangning moved closer to King Ning and asked, "Which are Tang Yushi's family members?"

King Ning said with a sullen face: "You should first think about how to deal with Princess Pingyang."

"Ok?"

Immediately, Princess Pingyang came slowly, smiling like a white lotus.

When Tangning approached, Princess Pingyang gave a slight blessing and said, "Miss Tang Si, it stands to reason that Mu'er should call you the third sister-in-law. I heard that you are the most talented sister among the sisters in Yushifu, so you will come first." ?”

Tangning was startled. Looking at King Ning, she caught up with the rhythm. It turned out that Princess Pingyang was targeting her from the very beginning!
Seeing Tangning's expression, Princess Pingyang was very satisfied, so she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Why, is the third sister-in-law unwilling to show off Mu'er's face?"

Tang Ning took a sip from the teacup, put it down gently, cleared her throat, and said, "Princess Pingyang is serious. It is my honor to be appreciated by the princess. It's just that the little girl is not very knowledgeable, so I'm afraid she won't be able to utter any subtle lines." , laughing and generous, not only disgraced Yushifu, but also disgraced Ningwangfu's face."

Princess Pingyang was not forgiving, she smiled sweetly, took Tang Ning's hand to help her up, and coquettishly said, "Sister-in-law, don't be modest, if you are not a peerless talent, how could third brother beg your father?" Canonize you as Concubine Ning?! Just shake a little bit of ink, so that everyone can convincingly recognize you as Concubine Ning."

Tang Ning looked at King Ning. King Ning was serious about tasting tea with a completely "nothing to do with me" attitude.

Tangning sighed, "Alright then, I'll make a fool of myself."

Princess Pingyang said: "The third brother and the third sister-in-law agree in love, so the third sister-in-law should compose a poem for the third brother?"

Tangning cursed in her heart, "MD, is this white lotus finished?" !
Tangning looked at Princess Pingyang, smiled slightly, and said, "This is difficult, let me think about it."

Princess Pingyang proudly said: "Sister-in-law three, here is ten steps away from the seat of the emperor, so Mu'er should walk slowly. When Mu'er comes to the front of the emperor, if the third sister-in-law can't think of it, it will be considered a loss. Three cups of wine as fine!"

Tangning raised her palm and said, "It's different, it already has."

Princess Pingyang stared, "Really?"

Everyone watching the show is also full of surprises, looking forward to it.

Tangning said leisurely:
In a quiet corner Ye Zhiqiu,

The three disputes and the world's conspiracy.

Unspoken leisurely,
Xuan Yue smiled faintly in the air.

After finishing speaking, the audience was silent.Those present who could understand the charm of the poem were deeply impressed by Tangning's talent; those who could not understand the deep meaning were attracted by Tangning's self-confidence, calmness and elegance.

King Ning and Tang Ning looked at each other, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.From his deep eyes, Tangning saw the joy and sigh of reunion with a close friend.At this moment, with this look in his eyes, Tangning suddenly felt at ease in her heart, and everything she had put in before was worth it.

An official at the banquet came out, and after the formalities, he asked, "Prince Ning's talent is brilliant, and I am deeply impressed by it. May I ask Princess Ning, can you write a word for this poem with profound meaning?"

Tangning looked at King Ning, and when she heard the official's words, she subconsciously murmured, "Changting Fenglin."

After saying this, King Yi immediately sneezed loudly.

Yuchi Yunjun immediately came out of the queue, took two steps to Tangning's side, secretly gave Tangning a wink, and said, "Princess Ning, did you just talk about the windy forest on the back mountain of Prince Ning's mansion? Rumor has it that even if there is no wind in that forest, On the same day, the leaves will rustle like a breeze, so it is called 'Wind Forest'."

King Ning got up and said: "Young Master Yuchi is right. A few days ago, the king took the princess to catch birds in the back mountain of the palace for fun. The princess asked me about this matter."

Tangning woke up suddenly: "Changting Maple Forest", Changting Street, maple leaves are red!A love poem that is considerate to your husband, almost turned into an anti-poem because of the words "Changting Fenglin"!

The walls of Changting Street were not originally red, and there were no such gorgeous maple trees outside the walls.At that time, Jiangshan in Northern Li was not named Zhao.In order to conquer this country, the first emperor led one hundred thousand elite soldiers to attack this imperial city, fought bloody for three days and three nights, and bloodbathed Changting Street.After the war subsided, the blood-stained walls of Changting Street could no longer restore their original appearance, so the first emperor simply ordered that the two long and tall walls be painted dark red, and maple trees were planted outside the high walls. Tree.

Tang Ning hadn't heard of this history until today. When he walked through Changting Street and passed the second palace gate, King Ning told Tang Ning about this history.

Tang Ning's eyes were a bit frightened at the moment, she looked at Yi Wang, Yi Wang gave Tang Ning a look, signaling her to be at ease, the situation did not get out of control.

King Ning took Tangning's hand, felt the sweat in her palm, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Tang Ning looked up at King Ning's eyes, collected herself, turned to the official who asked the question, and said, "My lord, the poem just now contains the little girl's admiration for His Highness King Ning, what Feng Lin said It is also because I thought of the windless forest on the mountain behind the palace, so this poem is called "Autumn Forest."

The official applauded, "What a poem! Princess Ning is so talented!"

Princess Pingyang would never let Tangning go so easily today. She stepped up to the emperor, "Father, I heard that my third sister-in-law is best at melody. I didn't expect her to be so good at composing poems!"

The queen echoed: "Your Majesty, Princess Ning is extraordinary in appearance and talent, and my concubines have been looking forward to feasting their ears!"

Tangning cursed in her heart: MD!As expected of a mother and daughter!Want to praise and kill Lao Tzu?
