Red makeup against the world

Chapter 518 Uneasy Intuition

Having said that, Wu Zhengxiang still felt heavy in his heart, he didn't like this feeling of being out of control very much.

It's not that his subordinates don't try their best, nor is there a problem with his layout, but that the other party is really hiding it too well.He even wondered if those unusual traces were intentionally revealed by the other party, luring them to go in the wrong direction.

If you don't know the enemy's purpose, you can check them one by one by pulling the net, and it will not be clear in a short time.Such passive and powerless, he can only defend but not attack, which gave him a warning sign.

In today's celebration banquet, the people he cares about most in his life are among them.Emperor Qinglong, eldest brother Wu Sheng, and Xu Wanzhen, these three people, no matter who had an accident, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

In particular, he remembered that he went to report to Emperor Qinglong yesterday, after Daoming hidden dangers, Emperor Qinglong patted him on the shoulder and said: "Wu Sheng is in the light, you are in the dark, there are two of you brothers, what else do I have?" Worrying? Just let it go and do it."

Emperor Deqinglong trusted him so much that his blood surged, and he said: "Swear to protect your father to the death." Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, he asked him the question that had been in his heart for a long time: "Your Majesty, you handed over the palace defense to us?" In the hands of the two brothers, don't you think the Wu family is too important?"

Emperor Qinglong laughed, looked at him and said: "In my life, what I am most proud of is my knowledge of people, and I have never misjudged my eyes. Since I have used you, doubts are useless. If I ask you, you will betray me." ?"

Wu Zhengxiang clenched his fists and saluted with a "snap", "Never!"

How could he betray Emperor Qinglong, not only because he was the emperor, but because Emperor Qinglong's charisma made him admire and admire him.Even if he betrayed the Wu family, he would never betray Emperor Qinglong. This is the object he swore to be loyal to all his life, and it is his belief.

Withdrawing his fluttering thoughts, he looked solemnly at the three people waiting in front of him, and said: "According to the plan between you, each of you go down and keep an eye on it! Especially the movement around the emperor, if necessary, you don't need to ask for instructions, cut first and play later!"

Yingfeng, Yinglei, and Yingyu responded abruptly and retreated quietly.

Looking at the empty hall, Wu Zhengxiang pondered for a moment.

It was really unusual for me to be distracted just now.As a master who has opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, he has the keen intuition of a warrior.He had a hunch that this celebration banquet would not be passed safely.

At this moment, he felt nervous and excited about meeting his opponent.This opponent is smarter than King Qianyang and Tong Huachi, hiding himself in the darkness and watching him.

……

Due to the complex composition of the people who came to the banquet, Empress Cao was placed in the Jinhua Palace between the imperial city and the palace city for the celebration banquet.

In the middle is the seat of Empress Dowager Xiao, Emperor Qinglong, and Empress Cao.The lower part is divided into two areas, separated by a large screen into two areas, with male guests on the left and female guests on the right.They are seated in order according to their grades. The higher the grade, the closer to the main seat.

For the sake of safety, there is a distance of three feet between the main seat and the guest seat.

In this way, both men and women are taken into account, and both male and female guests are lucky enough to see Tianyan and feel the sincerity of the royal family.

It was still early, and everyone took their seats under the leadership of the maid one by one.

It's okay for people with high grades. Although it's the first time to have a banquet in Jinhua Palace, after all, they often enter the palace, and they only take a small look before taking a seat.

Those who entered the palace for the first time had nervous, excited, and reserved faces, but their eyes couldn't help but look around.For them, I am afraid that this is the only chance in their life to enter the palace, so they must cherish it.Take a good look at every plant, every tree, every table and chair in this palace and remember it in your heart, so that you can go back and brag to your neighbors and younger generations.

The guards in the palace wearing bright armor are distributed around the hall, one person at three steps and one post at five steps.Wu Shengyin was hidden behind the bright yellow curtain, his eyes swept across the crowd like lightning.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.But after thinking about it, he filtered the guests to the banquet one by one in his mind, and found nothing unusual.

Under the guidance of a round-faced court lady, Xu Wanzhen sat next to Mrs. Zhuang, and according to their rank, the seat was in the front row of the female guest seats.

Mr. Ning also sat down next to her. Originally, according to his rank, Mr. Ning didn't have an order, so he should be at the back.But because of her relationship with Xu Wanzhen, she was ranked in the front. This is also the thoughtfulness of Empress Cao.

This banquet was quite different from the ones she had attended in the past.Because people come from different classes and wear different clothes, most of them are looking around curiously and whispering to each other, which makes it very lively.

Since it is such a guest, it is natural not to adopt ancient etiquette.

The long tables were put together in the hall and placed facing the main seat.Although it is still one case per person, the distance between people is much closer. Ten people can sit in each row, and there are twelve rows in full.

Xu Wanzhen made a rough calculation in her heart, there were more than 100 people on the female side alone, and there should be more men on the side.It seems that everyone who has contributed to this epidemic has been invited, which shows that the royal family is eager to appease people.

Among the visitors, most of them have no official position and rank.At first, they were very reserved, occasionally daring to whisper a word or two.

Later, seeing that the maid standing beside her didn't interfere, she gradually let go of her courage.These maids of honor have all been ordered by Empress Cao, and they don't need court etiquette to demand these common people who only enter the palace once in a lifetime.Let them take it easy, let them be free.

Ying Yu was mixed among the court ladies, today she used makeup to cover up her charm, and looked plain, with only a pair of beautiful eyes shining.

After everyone was seated, a clear and melodious gong sounded.A group of female musicians under the flag of Taichang Temple filed in from the left door of the main hall, holding pianos, flutes, sheng, or drums in groups of three.

They have exquisite makeup, wearing flying buns, and lifelike silk flowers under the buns.

The female singers came to the large space between the main seat and the guest seats, put down their instruments, and stood still.As one of the female musicians struck the drumsticks, the melodious sound of the guqin followed, and many instruments played one after another, joining the performance.

The drumstick fell again, and a group of women in light blue dance clothes entered the door dance on the right side. They spun and entered the hall with light steps.

Between the fluttering of the water sleeves, the slender waist is gripped, and the eyebrows are expressing affection, just like a woman who is out on the Lexi Plain outside the city, seeing her beloved lover, jumping for joy, and shy, accompanying this cheerfulness The tune, chasing and slapstick.

Xu Wanzhen concentrated on enjoying the singing, dancing and drum music. Since she came to Gaomang Dynasty, she has never enjoyed such a high-level performance.From the music to the choreography, every detail is fascinating.

　It's been thirteen days since the update, I really didn't expect that I could last so long, cheering for myself
