The Journey of a Pseudo-Art Woman

Chapter 164, Banquet
Today's banquet in the Liang Palace is mainly for Leng Jingyan, the owner of the estate, but officials of the fourth rank and above in the imperial court also have to bring their family members to participate.

It is also to provide a marriage-selection banquet for the married princesses and courtiers and family members.

Those who can come to the banquet are all high-ranking officials, and if they are interested, they are all well-matched, and everyone is happy.

Therefore, all the noble ladies are dressed up in a glamorous way, so it is easy to find a good husband.

Yun Changqian's Yun Li, Yun Mu, and Yun Ran of the Yunfu are all married, and the other ladies and sons are still young, so Yun Changqian only brought his wife, Mrs. Yang, to come here.

Today, Mrs. Yang is dressed in a flowered jacket with a hundred butterflies, and the red hairpin on her head is swaying, with her toes proud.

Fortunately, although the clothes today are gorgeous, they don't look tacky at all, adding a bit of solemnity and nobility to the originally dull face.

The banquet was held in the Royal Garden of Liangwang Palace. Although it was already winter, the scenery in the Royal Garden was like spring, with all kinds of precious flowers and plants, pavilions, pavilions, rockery pools, and the scenery of the four seasons seemed to be covered.

Yunran felt surprised at first, no matter what, how can there be a place with four seasons of scenery at the same time?

But if you look closely, it turns out that the so-called flowers and plants are all made of colored silk cloth, and the lotus in the pond is also made of silk cloth.

If you don't look carefully, it's just like the real scene.

The King Liang and the Queen had already sat in their seats. Leng Jingyan walked in with Yun Ran, the smile on his lips was just right, and his voice was neither humble nor overbearing, "Mingyue Villa Leng and his wife are here to pay their respects to Your Majesty."

Leng Jingyan has a raised figure and an outstanding temperament, and now he is standing in the center, although he is looking up at King Liang who is sitting in a high position, but his eyes seem to look down on the indifference and etherealness of all living beings.

He is not a minister of the Liang Kingdom, so naturally he doesn't have to kneel down to the King of Liang to pay his respects, so he just bent slightly and bowed as a scholar.

It stands to reason that Yunran is an unmarried wife, but she still blushes a little because of the word "madam", but she is shy, but she still has a calm and generous posture, and she salutes gracefully.

Liang looked at the dazzling two people in the center, with a smile in his eyes, he had long heard that the owner of Mingyue Villa was a character, and now that he saw it, he really had an extraordinary temperament.

"Haha, Master Leng, you are being polite. I met the two of you alone today, so I know what a couple of gods are! Come, bring Master Leng to your seat!"

The little eunuch respectfully ushered the two of them into the seats that had been arranged before, and the seats were just under King Liang, and even the princes and concubines in the harem were still under Leng Jingyan. From this, it can be seen that King Liang gave Leng Jingyan is extremely honored.

After all the seats were seated, everyone was brought to the table. The banquet had just begun, and Yun Ran felt flustered. Although it was a royal banquet, it was similar to ordinary banquets. Most of them were singing and dancing. To maintain a posture at all times, it is a bit suffocating.

Leng Jingyan next to him has been toasting with Liang Wang, and Liang Wang is obviously very happy today, drinking one cup after another, only praising Leng Jingyan for being young and promising.

At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and was replaced by a melodious and lingering sound of musical instruments.

"This is an instrument passed down from the Western Regions, and the sound is very unique and pleasant." King Liang introduced.

Leng Jingyan nodded and said nothing, but Yun Ran pricked up his ears and listened. The more he listened, the more familiar he became. The sound clearly resembled the sound of gourd silk.

At this moment, more than a dozen dancers came slowly twisting their waists, their bare feet without shoes, showing their smooth calves, and wearing a few small bells tied with red strings on their ankles, making crisp sounds to the music .

The dancers are all exquisite in figure, with big breasts, slender waist, long legs, fair skin and beautiful appearance, with a touch of exotic charm.

As a woman, Yun Ran was fascinated and envious, but when she turned her head and looked at Leng Jingyan, she told him to just drink the wine indifferently, without looking up at those beauties.

"Leng Jingyan, are you still a man? You don't even look at such a stunning beauty?" Yun Ran teased softly in his ear with her tongue out.

After hearing these words, Leng Jingyan turned her head, wrapped her right hand around her wide robe sleeve and held Yun Ran's hand tightly, with an ambiguous expression in her eyes.

"Huh? Dare I say I'm not a man? How about trying tonight?" Leng Jingyan gasped at the tip of her ear.

"You—rascal." Yun Ran felt that talking to such a rogue in human skin was a waste of time, so he took a sip of wine and ignored him.

Yun Ran originally thought that no one would notice his behavior like Leng Jingyan's, but who knew that Zhu Qingxuan, who was not far away, saw it for real, and looked at Yun Ran with more hatred.

Hmph, there's nothing she can't get her fancy!The person you look at is the same.A concubine, she doesn't believe that she can't compare with her!

The dancers on the stage also slowed down as the music faded away.

King Liang clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "Reward, reward!"

The lead dancer saluted and thanked her before going down. Knowing the other purpose of today's banquet, the queen looked at the minister's family and said slowly, "Is there any lady who is willing to come out and perform?"

Everyone knew what it meant, and they all came prepared today.
