The Elegance of the Emperor: The Little Wife of the Wolf King

Chapter 21 Palace Banquet ([-])　
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the five-day period has come. Each account has sent the selected candidates to the Khan Palace. Da Yan personally arranged the accommodation for these people, and held a grand welcome banquet in the palace at night. Each account manager can lead his family members to participate.

In the evening, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Khan Palace, with carriages bearing the marks of various aristocratic families, shuttled back and forth on the street, and the stewards led their families into the palace one after another. Can smell a powdery smell.

For hundreds of years in Rongcheng, there has never been such a grand banquet, and the common people gathered around the gate of the palace, wanting to join in the fun, but in the evening, a whole street at the gate of the palace was under martial law, and the common people could only stay far away. Looking at the brightly lit Khan Palace, I imagined the magnificence of the banquet.

The banquet was held in the main hall of the Khan Palace, with the sound of ceremony and music, everyone attended the table one after another.All kinds of fresh melons and fruits are placed on the long tables. The smell of roasted whole lamb fills the whole hall, and the strong smell of wine fills the nostrils. The maids in gorgeous palace clothes are busy shuttling back and forth. Everything is in order. The people on the prairie were stunned, and they didn't dare to move when they sat on the cushions, for fear of soiling the exquisite tableware on the table.

"Khan and Yanshi are here!" With a loud shout, everyone stood up to greet him.

Yeluheng was wearing a black robe, a golden crown with hair on his head, a fox fur cloak, cowhide boots, and a precious knife slung across his belt, with a black gem inlaid on the handle, which was very strange against the pattern around the scabbard.Murong Jing next to her was dressed in dark red palace attire, the same white fox fur cloak, and a high bun with a peony-shaped head and face made of pure gold, making Murong Jing look graceful and luxurious.

The six sisters of Yelu Qingyun followed behind them, all of them were flamboyant and beautiful, and everyone was stunned for a while.

Yeluheng and Murongjing were seated, and everyone was seated one after another. The ceremony and music sounded, and the banquet officially began. A group of dancers floated to the melodious music and danced gracefully, creating a peaceful atmosphere in the hall.

After drinking for three rounds, singing and dancing continued, His Highness could no longer sit still, and everyone gathered in groups, toasting and laughing with each other.

"The stewards of the Wukai, Fufuyu, and Yuling tribes didn't come, nor did their family members. Be careful tonight." Yeluheng leaned into Murongjing's ear and said with a smile on his face.

The dignified smile on Murong Jing's face hadn't disappeared since entering the hall, she nodded.

A lady in charge came over to greet Murong Jing, and Murong Jing politely asked her to sit beside her.

This lady is the wife of Hu Yanping, the steward of Libu, followed by her two daughters and one son.The two daughters are well-proportioned, and the son Huyan Jida is tall and mighty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is also the candidate for the son-in-law this time.Although Mrs. Huyan is nearly half a hundred years old, it may be that she is well maintained. There is no wrinkle on her face. Her skin is a healthy wheat yellow and her eyes are soft. She is different from other grassland women Murong Jing saw. , at first glance, she is a smart and wise woman.Murong Jing likes Mrs. Huyan, listening to her talk about the relationship between various families, even though Murong Jing already knows a lot, she doesn't feel bored at all.

The two daughters were with their mother. Murong Jing was afraid that they would be bored, so she specially asked the Qingyun sisters to accompany the three brothers and sisters. There were more topics for young people to talk about together. Qingyun glanced at Huyan Jida from time to time, her face A blush.

Mrs. Huyan chatted with Murong Jing, but her eyes kept wandering towards her son, while Murong Jing smiled calmly.After a while, more and more people gathered around Murong Jing, especially young people gathered around these princesses.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Murong Jing got up and left the young people chatting here, while she went to the other side to chat with Mrs. Huyan, Mrs. Zabusu, Mrs. Yelufeng and other wives in charge. The wives were together It's just talking about some parents' gossip, and the wives are asking Murong Jing about the candidate for the son-in-law. It seems that these wives all want to marry the royal family.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!" Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and everyone got up one after another. Murong Jing and Yeluheng looked at each other, knowing that things might change.

When everyone walked outside the hall, they saw a raging fire burning in the west of Rong City, and the fire grew bigger and bigger with the wind.To the west of the city are the mansions of aristocratic families. When the stewards and wives saw the direction of the fire, they hurriedly led their children away from the Khan Palace.There was a sudden commotion inside and outside the palace, and people turned their backs on their backs.

Murong Jing secretly felt that this night would be a sleepless night.

Yeluheng rushed to the scene of the fire with a part of the forbidden army, leaving a part of the forbidden army to guard the safety of the palace.Murong Jing arranged for the people in the palace to return to the palace separately, and no one was allowed to go out without receiving orders.She stayed at the gate of the palace and waited for Yeluheng to come back with Yelugu, the commander of the forbidden army.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger. Looking from the gate of the palace, thick black smoke billows up. The fiery red flame roars like a giant dragon and rushes towards the sky, as if trying to break free from the shackles. exclamation sound.

Suddenly, there was a rush of hoofbeats, Yelugu subconsciously protected Murong Jing behind him, and shouted "Warning!" in a low voice.

The sound of horseshoes gradually approached, "Forbidden place of the palace, come and dismount!" A guard stepped forward to stop him.

"Da Yan, it's us!" A familiar voice came to mind, and Murong Jing saw through the faint light that the people who came were Hu Yanping, the steward of Libu, his wife, and his son Huyan Jida. Knife.

"Lord Huyan, what are you doing here now?" Murong Jing looked at them vigilantly, but did not allow them to let them go, Yelugu stepped forward to question them.

Murong Jing stood in the palace gate and did not come out.

"We have an urgent matter to meet Da Yan." Hu Yanping said eagerly.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it here!" Yelugu glanced at Murong Jing, seeing that she was still standing quietly in the palace gate without making a sound, so he continued to interrogate her.

"This, give this to Da Yan, and she will understand!" Mrs. Huyan took out a token from her bosom and handed it to Yelugu.

Yelugu took the token and looked at Mrs. Huyan suspiciously, then handed the token to Murong Jing in doubt.

Murong Jing took the token, and in the dim light, she saw a very simple wooden token with strange patterns painted on it, the corners of Murong Jing's mouth slightly raised.

"Let them come over!" Murong Jing said to Yelu Gu.

Yelugu stared wide-eyed, looking at Murong Jing in disbelief, it was just an ordinary wooden sign, he couldn't see anything.

The three of Hu Yanping walked quickly to Murong Jing's side, and Hu Yanping said in a low voice: "Da Yan, take a step to speak!"

Looking at Hu Yanping's nervous expression, Murong Jing knew that something big must happen.Murong Jing brought the three of them into a pavilion not far from the gate of the palace.

"Master Yan, there may be changes in the palace tonight, the Young Pavilion Master ordered me to wait here to protect your safety." Hu Yanping said in a low voice.

"What's the news from Lingrui Pavilion?" Murong Jing's heart tightened, she faintly felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what would happen.

Hu Yanping glanced at his wife, who nodded.

"Yeluzana of the Wukai Tribe, together with Hai Rigu of the Fufuyu Tribe and Huyan Garu of the Yuling Tribe, are trying to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the palace to seize the Khan throne."

"Are there only three of them?" Murong Jing felt cold when she heard it, and her mind was already in a mess. She took a long breath and asked urgently.

"The rest of the ministries are waiting and watching, but they all brought people over, but the elders of the three great families secretly supported them." Mrs. Huyan supported Murong Jing and said.

"Where's the sweat?" Hu Yanping asked.

"Oh! What can we do? The Great Khan led the imperial army to put out the fire!" Murong Jing was in a state of confusion when she thought that Yeluheng was still outside the palace.

"Not good! I fell into the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain!" Hu Yanping patted his head, "I'll find someone to rescue Da Khan! You should close the gate of the palace quickly, unless Da Khan returns, no one can open the palace door Madam, you stay here to protect Yan Shi personally. Jier, follow me!" Said while running towards the palace gate, Huyan Jida followed closely behind.

Mrs. Huyan and Murong Jing also hurried towards the palace gate, watching Huyan and his son leave on horseback and gradually disappear into the darkness.

"Seal the gate of the palace, no one can come in or out without my order!" Murong Jing calmed down, a sternness flashed in his eyes, and he kept reassuring himself not to mess up, don't mess up, he will definitely survive.
