Chapter 25 Blazing Eyes

The crown prince is the crown prince of a country, and his status is naturally different from that of ordinary princes and concubines, ranking first.

Down, is to sit in line.Because the three princes died at a young age, the order of seats is the eldest prince Song Yi, the second-ranked Pingyang Emperor Ji Song Qingyi, the fourth-ranked Anyang Emperor Song Qingyu, the fifth prince Song Xuan, and Song Qinghuan, followed by the ministers of the courts. .

The eldest prince, Song Yi, sat on the left side of Song Yan, with a gloomy expression, and a hint of hostility in his eyes.Among the three princes of Yu Kingdom, he is the one who resembles Emperor Yu the most, coupled with his outstanding ability, he is quite favored by Emperor Yu.At this time, he was just like Song Qinghuan, sizing up the guests at the palace banquet calmly, his eyes dark as ink.

The four kingdoms of Liang Yu Zhaochen and Liang Yu Zhaochen in the Yunqing Continent stand together. On the birthday of Emperor Yu, all three countries sent envoys. The envoys sat opposite the royal family and all the ministers, and they were ranked according to the status of the envoys.In order, there is the Chen Kingdom Mission headed by Su Jingci, the third prince of Chen Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom Mission headed by Liang Kingdom Prime Minister Shen Chuhan, and the Zhao Kingdom Mission headed by Mu Shujie, Minister of Rites of Zhao Kingdom.

Zhao Kingdom has the strongest comprehensive national strength among the four countries, and it is quite defiant, as can be seen from the status and identity of the envoys of the three countries.The third prince, Su Jingci, and the prime minister, Shen Chuhan, were all figures of high status or power, but Zhaoguo sent only a small servant of the Ministry of Rites here, which made people wonder.

About a little while later, a loud voice from the attendants at the entrance of the palace sounded, "The emperor is here—the empress is here—Concubine Ning Shu is here—" After the words fell, the three people in costumes appeared in everyone's sight.

Song Qinghuan raised his head and looked towards the door in surprise.

She did not expect that Concubine Ning Shu would attend the birthday banquet of her father today, which was an unprecedented honor.After all, in the past, only queens were eligible to participate in such palace banquets.

Concubine Ning Shu's elder brother, Ning Tengyue, was appointed General Zhenbei to guard the northern border.In the past two years, Zhaoguoyin, which is located in the northwest of Yuguo, has a tendency to move around. In order to prevent Zhaoguo's army from taking advantage of the situation, General Zhenbei has not been back to Jian'an for several years.In order to appease him, Emperor Yu rewarded him several times, and promoted his younger sister Ning Ruowei, who was originally a groomer, directly to the position of concubine Shu, the head of the nine concubines.

Recently, Concubine Ning Shu's status in the harem has a faint tendency to rise.

Thinking about it this way, it is reasonable for her to get Emperor Yu's permission to attend the palace banquet today.

only……

Song Qinghuan frowned slightly.

Concubine Ning Shu did not attend the palace banquet in her previous life.Things deviated from the original track one by one, which made her feel a little uneasy.

She bit her lip, suppressed the faint worry in her heart, and watched with the crowd as the three of Emperor Yu walked slowly towards the upper seat.

Concubine Ning Shu is wearing a purple brocade palace dress today, which is as long as the floor, and the skirt is embroidered with large groups of hibiscus flowers, swaying and graceful.The green silk is tied into a flying fairy bun, and the pearls and jade are jingling.

Compared with the queen's dignified and luxurious, Concubine Ning Shu looks more charming and charming. There is an indescribable beauty and enchantment in every frown and smile. Such a bright purple is worn by her, not only does not look old-fashioned, but it also makes it more beautiful The light is shining everywhere, and the charm and appearance are not inferior to the queen next to her.

At this time, Emperor Yu was leading the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, without showing any favoritism.

Seeing this scene, Song Qinghuan lowered his head slightly, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

It seems that the father is really dissatisfied with the power of the Wei family in the court, and wants to support Concubine Ning Shu to the throne, first divide the queen's power in the harem.

She sighed, the harem that had finally been calm for a while, was afraid that there would be another disturbance.

But... the most important thing right now is to escape the calamity of making peace with Liangguo first.

She looked up and saw that Emperor Yu had already taken his seat, and a servant had already added a seat to the other side of the dragon chair.The queen was on the right, and concubine Ning Shu was on the left. They both sat in dignified postures, with noble expressions and decent smiles on their faces, but they didn't look at each other.

Everyone quieted down and looked at Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu raised the white jade wine glass, gestured downwards, and said in a deep voice, "Today, on my birthday, I am very happy to be congratulated by envoys from various countries. For this cup, I respect the three envoys. Thank you for coming so far." Come to Jian'an to celebrate my birthday."

Mu Shujie hurriedly got up, held up a few cups of wine and bowed to Emperor Yu in fear and trepidation.

Su Jingci and Shen Chuhan also stood up.There was still a light smile on Su Jingci's face, but Shen Chuhan's expression was cold, with a look of calmness.

However, his cold temperament has long been known in the four countries, and Emperor Yu didn't think it was a pest.

The three raised their heads and drank the wine in the cup, thanked Emperor Yu, and sat down again.

The maid behind her stepped forward and filled the wine cup for Emperor Yu again.Emperor Yu raised his glass again, "May the relationship between our four countries be as clear as this full moon, and the harmony as before. May the national fortunes of all countries prosper, Mount Tai will be enshrined in Zen, and the people will be blessed!"

The people below hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted long live, and only after three beeps did they start to raise their heads and drink up the wine in their cups.

Emperor Yu glanced at the crowd in the ground, his heart filled with arrogance, he couldn't help being in a good mood, and loudly announced the opening of the palace banquet.

Zhong Huai hurriedly stepped forward and sang loudly to the outside of the hall, "Talk-night-dinner!"

As soon as the words fell, there were beautiful palace ladies in Tsing Yi who filed in from outside the hall, holding mahogany trays with various delicacies and fine wines in their hands.Exquisite food and wine were continuously delivered into the hall, and within a short time, the long tables in front of everyone were filled with jade dishes and delicacies.

All the maids in Tsing Yi who were waiting to pass the meal left the hall, and everyone exchanged cups and feasted for a while, Zhong Huai got a signal from Emperor Yu, and winked at the maids at the side.

The palace lady understood, saluted and retreated.

Soon, beautiful musicians came in from the side hall, and sat in front of various musical instruments that had been placed in the four corners of the hall.As the musicians played lightly with their bare hands, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo orchestras rang out in the hall.

The sound of the piano is Lingling, and the sound of Xiao is continuous.

In the main hall, red candles with a thick bowl mouth were burning, spread out one by one, illuminating the inside of the hall like daytime.Outside the hall, there was a gentle night wind blowing in, bringing with it the cool water vapor from the Ningwu Lake, which lowered the temperature in the hall.Candle shadows flicker, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly, and there is a scene of harmony and harmony between the interlacing of toasts and chips.

Song Qinghuan sat on the table in a dignified manner, most of the time she just ate and drank quietly, occasionally she turned her head to chat with Song Xuan who was beside her, not wanting to attract others' attention.

However, some people did not let her wish.

Although she seemed to be silent with her head down, her face was calm, but she looked at everything around her quietly from the corner of her eyes.From the beginning of the banquet to the present, she has noticed that Shen Chuhan looked at her several times, his eyes seemed cold, but the expression in his eyes was deep, and he couldn't see what was in his heart.

Although he concealed it very well, Song Qinghuan worked as an agent for ten years before crossing, and in addition, he has practiced martial arts in this life, so his acuity is much higher than ordinary people, Shen Chuhan noticed it when he looked this way.

Especially when she was talking with Song Xuan, the gaze that fell on her was even more intense!
