Chapter 307

The story of Qinghui garden soon spread to the emperor.

Emperor Zhengxuan is in his bedroom. He has already been ready, but it is impossible to appear so early at this time.

After all, he was the emperor of the Qi Dynasty. It happened that the affiliated countries of Beiyan came, and he couldn't appear early. He had to accept Beiyan and other court meetings before he could drink and talk with his affiliated countries.

Now I can't believe Beiyan envoy put up a chess game in Qinghui garden. As a result, they lost two games in a row.

Emperor Zhengxuan was so angry that his beard was about to curl up: "what does Beiyan mean? He also said, "borrow grain!"

Emperor Zhengxuan seriously thought about the problem of borrowing grain, but now let alone borrowing grain, people just have to show off their strength! One of them could not do well, but was ridiculed by others. They also showed weakness to Beiyan in Daqi, but were subject to Beiyan's checks and balances.

They haven't reached that level yet.

On one side, CAI Jie's face was green and said, "emperor, the time for the banquet is coming."

Emperor Zhengxuan's face stood up.

……

In Qinghui garden, the atmosphere became a little strange because of the two chess games Liao jueyao lost.

Da Qi people, who are concerned about state affairs, are depressed and stand aside. Don't be big hearted, or just read their own thoughts and have fun. Beiyan people and two other envoys from affiliated countries enjoyed themselves and occasionally laughed because of some interesting things.

At this time, there was a "bang" not far away, but the Gong in the palace was sounded. That means that the state banquet is about to begin and let everyone enter the hall.

For such a big banquet, the banquet is held in the solemn hall.

Ye Tangcai, Zhao Yingqi and others were enjoying fish in a pavilion. Hearing the sound, they hurried to the hall with a brigade.

Several talents came out of Qinghui garden, but Chu Congke came over and looked at yuan Nanying affectionately: "Yinger!"

Ye Tang took a smoke from the corner of his mouth, and Yuan Nanying was disgusted and wanted to vomit. Hehe said, "what are you? Please don't come here to disgust me, will you?"

Chu Congke's face changed: "Ying'er, we have been engaged for many years..."

"Haven't you retired from your engagement for many years?" Yuan Nanying looked contemptuous.

Well, a wonderful kill! This Aura! If it weren't for what he saw with his own eyes, ye Tangcai thought yuan Nanying had been switched! Sure enough, identity is the foundation of words and deeds.

Chu Congke's face lightened and turned white. He saw that ye Tangcai looked at his eyes with ridicule. He had no face to stay here and immediately turned away.

Ye Tangcai was speechless and dead. He was so thick skinned that he fought with the wall! It really deserves to be born by Aunt Fei.

"Let's go!" Shangguan Yun said.

Several people walked along the broad avenue paved with white jade, turned left and right, and finally came to the main hall. A group of eunuchs stood at the door, saw them quickly and considerately come forward to ask, and then led them to the right seat.

Ye Tangcai and Zhao Yingqi separated and were led to the hall.

Ye Tangcai looked up and saw that there were high dragon chairs and dragon tables carved with golden dragons taking off, covered with beautiful live dragons and phoenixes, and long tables with dragon patterns on the left and right sides. This is the seat of the Empress Dowager and the prince.

Down the three steps, there are several princes and princesses of the king of Liang and the king of Lu, and the royal family Xun GUI at the bottom and behind.

On the right are Liao Shoufu, Liu Bu Shang Shu and other officials, followed by other officials and GUI Quan. Behind them are several rows of Hou menxun GUI.

The space in the center of the hall is empty, reserved for court meetings and song and dance appreciation.

The banquets were for men and women, and they were all seated according to their families.

The Chu family was arranged in the three long cases in the back row on the right.

Ye Tangcai sat with Chu Miaoshu in the case of Chu Boye, Qin Shi, Chu Congke and Chu Miaoshu.

Chu Feiyang and Jiang Xinxue never loved these occasions, so they didn't declare to come at the beginning, and naturally they didn't have their seats.

Ye Tangcai looked up and saw Zhao Yingqi sitting with Liang Wang. The big circle was so easy to recognize that he could see it at a glance.

Why comb such two big circles on your head?

Isn't it because it's conspicuous? Zhao Yingqi loves to be a demon. Can you see it at a distance?

Thinking, ye Tang took a smoke from the corner of her mouth. Well, she felt as if she had the truth.

Ye Tangcai suddenly sees Liao jueyao sitting behind Liao Shoufu with Chu Yifeng. At this time, Liao jueyao looked gloomy and unhappy.

"The emperor has arrived!" The sharp voice of the eunuch sounded.

They all stood up and bowed. After three shouts of long live, Emperor Zhengxuan let them flat and sit down.

Emperor Zhengxuan and empress Zheng sit at the top, and the Empress Dowager and the prince couple are on the left and right sides.

A burst of silk and bamboo pipe music sounded. The sound was thin, beautiful and soft. It was not noisy, but it was warm and lively.

"The kingdom of Beiyan is coming! Facing the country to the North! Dongan is coming! " The eunuch's high voice sounded loudly outside.

Then I saw a group of people in different clothes coming in front of and behind. Beiyan was walking in front of me.

The leader was a man in his thirties, wearing a green and gold slanted robe. He looked handsome. Behind him were three or two women in black, followed by more than a dozen officials.

Two of the three women in black were the ones who played chess with Liao jueyao in Qinghui garden.

The young man with the head came forward and bowed his hands: "Prince Hu mo of Beiyan and his envoys came to pay a tribute."

As he spoke, the big man behind C, dressed in a red hanging son with an open chest, came in with a huge thing covered with a strange totem of red silk cloth.

The prince of Beiyan, Hu Mo, tore away the red cloth and saw that it was a sandalwood Dragon carving, with beads spitting from the dragon's mouth. The beads scattered bursts of faint fragrance, but it was an aloe tree.

Seeing this birthday gift, Emperor Zhengxuan hissed. He was still as small as ever! This kind of sandalwood has a large number of them. It's just that the aloe wood and carving skill in their mouth are a little interesting. But that's all!

Donglin and Dongan also have a young and middle-aged man coming forward: "Donglin's Third Prince (Dongan's eldest prince) comes to congratulate."

Then someone brought in the birthday gift. One was a huge blood jade porcelain vase holding peaches for jiushou, and the other even gave a monkey who could dance with the music, and could still find the rhythm!

Emperor Zhengxuan was made to laugh.

If in previous years, he is not expensive, only in this new idea and happiness, but this year is different. With the continuous war in recent years and the emptiness of the national treasury, where is the mood to want this kind of entertainment.

And I have to give them back.

In the past, they thought they were a great country. When they saw that their congratulatory gifts were poor, they laughed in their hearts. In return, they would double their gifts to show their financial resources and the magnanimity of the country.

But now, the wealth of the country is empty, and even the grain and grass of Yu'an pass has become a problem. You still have more money to pay back.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengxuan sank in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said with a ha ha smile: "good, good. Put away all the gifts and give them to sit down. "

Beiyan, Donglin and Dong'an immediately bowed back: "emperor Xie Daqin."

Then he was led to his seat by the eunuch.

After everyone took their seats, they shouted goodbye and opened the banquet. Then, the wine and food were served in turn, the donor sounded, and a group of dancers came in and danced. After three rounds of wine, another dance retreated, and you left the soft music on the side.

At this time, a woman in black stood at the place where Beiyan did it, holding a wine glass and arched her hand at emperor Zhengxuan: "Emperor Qin! I wish you longevity and happiness. "

Emperor Zhengxuan was stunned after the Dragon case. He saw a woman in her twenties, dressed in ordinary clothes and looked ordinary. She could only be regarded as a beautiful woman: "this is..."

Prince Hu mo of Beiyan said, "this is the prince's fifth sister, Hu Naduo."

Ye Tang was stunned. Just now the two women in black played chess with Liao jueyao in Qinghui garden. The most powerful thing was that she was a 16-year-old girl that year. The girl was also beautiful.

The woman in her twenties came later. She didn't look very good, nor did she have much bearing. Her chess strength was not as good as that of the 16-year-old girl in front.

She always believed that the most important of the two women was the 16-year-old girl. Unexpectedly, this humble woman in black was Princess Beiyan.

The Beiyan Princess Hu Naduo said, "it is said that your exiled granddaughter, who is the first of all officials in Daqi, is the first talented woman in Daqi. She is famous for her chess power and is called your first female chess player in Daqi. I'm also a chess lover. I've been fascinated by your first female chess player in the Qi Dynasty for a long time. Today, there is the longevity festival of the emperor of the Qi Dynasty. Let me ask for advice. "

As soon as he said this, the whole hall was quiet.

Everyone in Daqi looked stiff.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms naturally paid attention to their every move. Liao jueyao had just fought chess with two women in Qinghui garden, and finally lost. It was spread to all officials of the Qi Dynasty.

Now Princess Beiyan said she would ask for advice from the first female chess player and the first female chess player of Daqi. You know, they just lost to them!

I don't know whether they really don't recognize Liao jueyao or deliberately. Xu that's intentional, but even so, they can't tell that their freshman female chess player in Daji has lost to them Beiyan.

If you lose on the spot now, it's nice to say that if you lose, you'll be honest.

Now their representatives of Daqi lost silently first, and then they were put forward "unknowingly". If they admit defeat before the war, they will lose!

Emperor Zhengxuan was so angry that his face turned blue and white.

Liao Shoufu has an old face and hates Liao jueyao for being too ostentatious. He has to fight chess with a chessboard wherever he goes.

If you are one of these aristocratic families, you will lose, but you will lose to those from other countries. Knowing that today's emperor's birthday will bring affiliated countries, she unexpectedly brought a chessboard to recruit Yao, which turned out to be like this.

The prince sneered: "you Beiyan are always so aggressive. You often come to fight this and that. A few years ago, you were beaten by our Tianshu childe. Are you afraid of losing?"

The courtiers of Daqi took a swipe at the corners of their mouths, some didn't care, and some bowed their heads and touched their noses silently.

A digression

Ye Tangcai: go away, go away, I'll pretend to force!
