There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 317 The Grand Ceremony
In the sixth year of Qinghe, the day when the dragon raised its head on the second day of the second lunar month was the fifth anniversary of the death of the first emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

At this time, the post house was already full of envoys from the surrounding tribes, large and small, and there were those who were invited and those who were not. Needless to say, those who were invited, those who did not receive the invitation naturally hugged their thighs Mentality came.

All in all, everyone is for the same purpose, peace and friendship, mutual benefit and win-win.

Although not many people stood up to support the Great Xia Dynasty when it was in trouble, but this does not affect everyone's coming to add to the icing on the cake?

Anseya was wearing a purplish red dress and the complicated jewelry unique to the Tubo tribe on her head, making her look full of exotic style and noble status.

She was served by two maidservants, and went through the usual corridors in the palace to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where the banquet was held.

The past is vivid in my mind, no matter whether it is the front court or the rear palace, no matter whether it is the Hall of Supreme Harmony or the Ningshou Palace, there is not a place among these red walls and green tiles without her figure.

It seems that there is a person who looks like the little girl back then. She likes to wear bright red, is good at playing with a golden whip, and is skilled in riding. She always smiles. She is loved by everyone, and her eyes are full of colorful colors. .

At that time, she thought that her life would always be vigorous, she would always be with the person she loved until she grew old, and she would always be happy for the rest of her life.

It's a pity that time passed and she realized that the little girl had long since disappeared.

vigorous?Hehe, it was vigorous, but the heart-piercing pain almost killed her, almost took half of her life, and almost made her lose all seven souls.

The family and the country are gone, the father and brothers are gone, and the clansmen who greeted each other with smiles in the past suddenly turned against each other and fought against each other.

If this is the so-called vigor and vitality, then she is willing to spend her life in a mediocre way, and only wishes that all of them can be safe.

When Anseya passed the most familiar Jinhua Hall, she stood there for a long time.

The early spring wind blew on her face, the warmth was mixed with a little coldness, the wind lifted her cloak embroidered with gold inscriptions in maroon, making her appear smaller, but her face was heavy, and she had long since disappeared. The innocent and cheerful look of that year was lost.

"Khan, where is this place?" The two maidservants were very curious. They opened their big eyes and looked at the magnificent and simple palace in front of them. Their eyes were full of strangeness.

"This is the palace of the emperor and empress of the Great Xia Dynasty. They are very loving. Living here...is very good."

Thinking of the woman with a pair of phoenix eyes, eyes full of light, and a different aura exuding from her whole body, a trace of bitterness suddenly appeared on her face.

Although this palace is gorgeous, it is a prison, which is a pity for her, but fortunately, she has her lover to accompany her, so it is not too bad.

She is also a poor person, but she is also extremely lucky, at least not lonely, but what about herself?
"Khan, it's windy here, let's go." The two maidservants obviously didn't know what had happened, they just reminded her gently and respectfully.

"Understood." Anseya smiled and left pretending nothing happened.

In early spring, the wind blows from time to time, the pear trees on both sides of the palace road have not yet bloomed, and the occasional breeze blows, but it is only cold mixed with bitterness.

In the gloomy weather, thick rain suddenly floated up, and they hit the red wall as thin as a cow's hair, making the originally gray wall brighter.

When Xia Houjing appeared at the other end of the corridor in white clothes, the rain just wetted all the red walls. The white clothes touched the red walls, and the pear trees on both sides of the palace road seemed more suitable for the situation, but it was a pity that there was one missing in the scene. people.

Alone in white, after all, a little lonely.

He held an exquisitely made dagger in his hand, and stood with his hands behind his back on the other side of the corridor, letting the rain hit him, his whole figure was like an ink painting in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Some things are said to be let go, but they still want to come back and look at them after all. Some people say they don’t want to think about them anymore, but they are locked in a certain place in their hearts. into the bone marrow.

He stood like a green pine and verdant cypress, just squinting his eyes to watch the smear of red at the end of the corridor leave sadly, his heart had already started to tremble, and he seemed to have lost his soul.

"My lord, is that the Great Khan of the Tubo Department, do you know him?" Xia Houjing returned to the capital and changed a servant, and he didn't know what happened before.

"I don't know." Xia Houjing curled his lips slightly, smiled faintly, turned and walked in another direction.

The drizzle is still falling, the corridors with red walls and blue tiles are especially bright in the rain, and the pear blossoms waiting to bloom are shaking gently in the cold wind in early spring. Everything is still the same as before, just like everything from the past It never happened.

……

When the banquet started, the rain had stopped, but the weather was still cold.

Considering that these people are all foreigners, they may not be able to adapt to the capricious climate of the Great Xia Dynasty, so Xia Houjue hastily asked someone to prepare a charcoal basin.

In addition, Xia Houjue also prepared the best food and wine, the most eye-catching dance, and the most beautiful dancer.

Isn't it just a coronation celebration? To put it bluntly, it is to lead everyone to eat and drink, exchange feelings with each other, and give everyone a chance to hug their thighs.

Xia Houjue has wandered in the court for many years, so he naturally knows about these things, and also knows how to do it to comfort people's hearts.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the banquet, food and wine were served, and everyone happily drank several glasses first.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere of the banquet finally opened up. Everyone had something to say, even if some places were far away and everyone didn't know what each other was talking about, or even couldn't understand each other's language, there was always a lively atmosphere.

Xia Houjue was enjoying the singing and dancing while drinking, while carefully observing the every move of these envoys, especially the every move of the Tubo Ministry.

As the bodyguard of the Great Khan of the Tubo tribe, General Qi Lie was also among them.

In the past, everyone thought that the brave and invincible General Qi Lie of the Tubo tribe was an old man who was well versed in the art of war, and no matter how bad he was, he should be a brave and invincible general.

Or the kind of big, strong and bearded warrior, but who would have thought that this great general was an open-minded young man who stood upright and stood like a pine.

He is eight or nine feet tall, with a tall and straight figure, dressed in a brown-black general uniform, with tight hair, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and cold facial features. He stands behind Anseya expressionlessly.

As if all the excitement outside had nothing to do with him, he only had his own sweat in his heart.

"Qi Lie, sit down for a while, there is your place here."

"No, in a foreign palace, the safety of the Khan is more important than anything else." His voice was deep and forceful, his expression was expressionless, but Anseya shook her head helplessly.
