48. Above the Palace Banquet
Lu Qipei asked Qi Yang to check the background of the King of Rong boy, but he never expected to have the answer before the palace banquet began. (Look, see again♀Mobile version m.k6uk.com)
The name Xie Hongyi is very unfamiliar to Lu Qipei. After hearing it, he won't have any associations, but it is not for Qi Yang. Her Royal Highness lived two lives, and she always knew more than Lu Qipei.
Hearing Lu Qipei saying the name of the boy opposite, and seeing the boy dressed up, Qi Yang almost immediately had a judgment: "He should be the son of King of Rong Third Princess, and his father is King of Rong Prime Minister Xie Yuan."
Lu Qipei was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately thought of something: "Is that the counselor who assisted the King of Rong to build the country?"
When Qi Yang heard her words, a trace of annoyance slipped in his eyes, remembering that King of Rong is newly built, and I don’t know if Xie Yuan has become the prime minister? Fortunately, Lu Qipei didn't know the news even she didn't know, so he bit his head and nodded: "Well, Xie Yuan was originally from the Central Plains, and for some reason he lived in Rongdi. She was taken in by the tribe and was appreciated by the leader. People hit it off with today."
Speaking of this, seeing Lu Qipei listened carefully, he continued: "Xie Yuan took his servants to live in Rongdi alone. Ten years ago, the tribal leader gave him a betrothed daughter. Now King of Rong's Among the upper class nobles, he is the only one with the last name Xie."
Not only is Xie the only surnamed him, in fact, most of the Central Plains people in the King of Rong are reduced to captive slaves, and a few traders are considered high status. Among the nobles, only Xie Yuan is a Central Plains.
Speaking of Xie Yuan's life is also legendary. From the embarrassment of living in a foreign country, to Zaifu, who is now in full control, has made the world famous. It has only taken him more than ten years. And his prime minister was not climbed up by the battle of the court, but he personally assisted an emperor who came through the thorns and thorns in blood and fire. The King of Rong established behind it is his feat!
People in Kingdom of Liang heard his reputation, and although they often scolded him for surrendering to the enemy and treason, how could they deny his ability and boldness?
Qi Yang introduced this person in a few words, but Lu Qipei asked, "This Xie Yuan, how much does Your Highness know? For example, when did he go to the Northland, how old is it now?"
These Qi Yangs are really not very clear, even if Xie Yuan is famous in his previous life, but he is far away in the King of Rong, how can Qi Yang want to check him? He shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know this very well. I only heard that it is very young, and it is less than forty now."
After hearing this, Lu Qipei nodded, and did not ask any more. He lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, the emperor finally came, and everyone in the hall stood up to greet him.
Lu Qipei was reminded by Qi Yang and stood up with her. Inadvertently, his gaze passed through the person blocking the front, and looked at the alien teenager on the opposite side. Xie Hongyi seemed to be aware of it, and looked back. The two looked at each other for a moment, and he turned his eyes away disdainfully.
This reaction made Lu Qipei startled slightly. Before he could think about it, the emperor had already stepped into the hall, so he could only leaned over and saluted.
After the emperor walked through the hall and sat down on the upper side, raised his hand and said to everyone that he was exempt, everyone sat down again. As soon as the palace banquet began, the previous ramblings disappeared, and everyone in the hall sat together, the scene was also solemn.
************************************************** **************************
The palace banquet is indeed not a good place to talk about love, especially the palace banquet for receiving envoys from other countries.
Because of the previous letter of credence, the emperor was obviously dissatisfied with the King of Rong envoy. He hasn't paid attention to it for several days, and today's palace banquet did not seem to be waiting for a few people. The emperor’s attitude was so, even if the singing and dancing were complete, it was destined that the atmosphere of the palace banquet would not be relaxed.
The prince sitting in the front row had a straight back, a serious face, and a majestic crown. But just behind him, although the young couple did not dare to be as unscrupulous as before the banquet, they also heard a few whispers from time to time. Because it was not easy to get close this time, only a few words fell into the ears of the prince... …
Qi Yang picked up his chopsticks and ordered a plate of mutton on the counter, and said to Lu Qipei: "I'm tired of all the dishes at the palace banquet, so this roasted mutton is not bad. It tastes delicious and has no taint. , Apai, take a taste."
When the prince heard the words, his eyes fell on the roasted mutton in front of him, and Qi Yang also became interested in it.
Lu Qipei behind him smiled when he heard the words, took a sip from his chopsticks, and then said softly, "It's delicious", and moved the roasted lamb in front of him to the side table next to Qi Yang with a natural expression.
Qi Yang was startled slightly, and immediately said, "If you keep it delicious, why do you bring it to me?"
Lu Qipei said, "The rest of the dishes are enough for me, but your Royal Highness had to give it to you naturally."
The young couple seemed to be sticky again, and the prince turned his eyes away from the roasted mutton after listening to them-listening to the conversation between the two people behind him, you came and went, and suddenly they were all about the dishes. Lost interest, even inexplicably feel a little support?
Of course, support is an illusion, but the prince really doesn't want to listen to the young couple anymore. He raised the wine cup and took a sip, then moved his eyes to the hall and decided to focus on the silk and bamboo singing and dancing.
The musicians and dancers in the palace are the best, with the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, all of them are charming.
The emperor did not speak, everyone in the hall dared not whisper, and most of their eyes fell on singing and dancing. Someone prefers this way, and gradually became fascinated by it, until a rough male voice broke the peace in the hall: "This soft song and dance, I don't know how beautiful it is."
Of course it was the envoy of King of Rong who spoke, but it was not a regular but a powerful man. He held a porcelain bowl in his hand, but instead of food, he drank a bowl full of wine. He raised his head and drank it as he spoke. He picked up the jug and shook it, and said with dissatisfaction: "You The people of Kingdom of Liang are also stingy, and just prepare this wine for a banquet. It will be gone after two bowls. It's really boring."
Many ministers in the hall didn't look good, but the prince looked calm. He glanced at the father, who was sitting at the top, and then instructed the palace man: "Go get a few altars of wine. Each envoy has two altars."
The palace man retired, and soon brought the wine again. A wine jar larger than a bucket, and two jars of wine barrels were enough to drink.
The big man who had been provoking the matter before curled his lips, picked up a jug of Kaifeng mud, and drank it on his back. The wine was all over his breast, and he was rugged and wild. At first glance, it seemed to be a street wine shop, without the proper style of a palace banquet.
The ministers of Kingdom of Liang became more dissatisfied. Lu Qipei heard many people muttering "barbarous and rude".
The King of Rong’s envoy did not stop him. Seeing that the big man jumped out of his seat after drinking, he waved his hand and said to a group of dancers: "Walk, how good is this soft song and dance? Let me perform it for everyone. Take a look."
The conditions in the north are difficult, Rong Di traditionally advocates martial arts, and these songs and dances are rarely seen at banquets, but they are quite popular.
The big guy greeted his companions and performed the show. If you are in King of Rong, this is not rude, on the contrary, it is to add luster to the host's banquet, which is a sign of closeness and friendship. However, the relationship between the two countries is not harmonious. The big man's early appearance is obviously not only to add luster to the banquet, but from his look, everyone sees more of the bright provocation.
Someone who was young and energetic, saw such a scene, almost got angry.
But the emperor never said a word, King of Rong was making the scene almost riot, and called the big man back. Then he got up and leaned over at the upper emperor in a salute: "Don't blame your majesty. I am so accustomed to King of Rong, I can't stand the deserted banquet. This is the only way to help."
This is a disguised accusation. The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Whatever the guest, the messenger doesn't understand it?"
Zhengshi smiled, not entangled in this matter, or he just wanted to lead the emperor to speak: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's me and other rough people who don't understand singing and dancing. But singing and dancing trails don't matter. Just a few days have passed. , Your Majesty did not see me, nor did you respond to the credential. I do not know when I will see the Holy Face again after the banquet is over today... I am sorry for offending, my Majesty is still waiting for me to go back."
This is about discussing the terms of the credential, but speaking like this at the palace banquet, it is really aggressive-Lu Qipei looked at the opposite envoy, his face was sincere, but she looked on his face The sincerity of alliance and peace talks is not enough.
Not only Lu Qipei, but everyone in the temple more or less felt the violation. But if it was not for peace talks, why did these envoys go this time? Feeling idle, come to Kingdom of Liang to eat and drink? !
Many people murmured in their hearts, including the emperor, who couldn't understand this routine.
However, no matter what kind of calculation the other party is making, the loss visible to the naked eye cannot be eaten. Of course, the emperor cannot agree to those absurd alliance conditions. He looked at the envoy of King of Rong with a majestic gaze: "The letter of the country like that, the envoy thought I would agree?"
Zhengshi remained silent, still smiling, as if he was noncommittal to the emperor.
The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly suppressed, and finally the prince broke the deadlock: "The messenger should understand that it is impossible for me to agree to such a condition. And if you wait for the initiative to come, if you want to negotiate, you might as well take out something. Come in sincerity."
Just as hearing this was about to speak, his robe and feet were torn at. He looked down and met the young boy with a stubborn face, and his dark eyes were staring at him for an instant. Being helpless, he looked down and thought for a while, and then said: "King of Rong has just set up, but still needs to rest and rest. I will come here with sincerity. It's just that everyone in the country is dissatisfied with Kingdom of Liang. The terms of the book would not give in."
Although this is not polite, at least it is the subject, and everyone can't help being a little serious.
Then I listened to the envoy and continued: "I am a messenger, and it is difficult to come with this kind of credential. It is not as good as this. If your Majesty allows it, the two countries will not be as good as the previous games. If the Kingdom of Liang is better, I will wait. I have nothing to say."
As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the palace, and most of them reprimanded the barbarians for being overwhelmed.
Qi Yang took advantage of the excitement and got close to Lu Qipei's ear and asked, "Apai thinks, what are these King of Rong people doing?"
Lu Qipei only felt a rush of heat spray on her ears, causing her to shrink back unconsciously, and then replied: "I don't know. What a comparison, I just think these King of Rong people are a trifling matter."
After speaking, she felt a line of sight cast, and she followed the trail and met the provocative look of the alien teenager.
The author has something to say: Prince (indifferent): I drink alcohol alone and don't eat, but why is he still a little brave? !
ps: Everyone is a lot colder after going to the plot, and there are fewer comments. Do you all like candy? !
