The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 217 Entering the Palace for a State Banquet

"Sister, today I received a post from the palace, saying that the palace will hold a state banquet in three days' time to invite envoys from Fengbei Kingdom and Dahua Kingdom. You are the county lord, so you should have received the post, right?"

When Tang Feng came back that day, as soon as he entered the house, he asked Tang Dai who was lying on the couch, doing nothing.

"Yes, I got it. The palace sent someone to deliver it this morning." Tang Dai raised her head and nodded to her elder brother.

"It said in the post that only officials of the third rank and above can bring their family members, and I can't bring your sister-in-law." Tang Feng felt a little regretful.

"Don't worry, with me, I can bring one."

"Really! That's great, I can finally take your sister-in-law there to open your eyes." Tang Feng rubbed his hands happily when he heard that.

Tang Dai smiled and shook her head, while Ning Weiyu pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, Xianggong can think of her in everything, and marrying him is the most correct choice for her.

"Little girl, I have to go get you a set of clothes." Ning Weiyu thought of Tang Dai's clothes full of personality, and wanted to buy clothes for her.

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, don't raise her like a daughter! I just attended the banquet in the palace, don't you have a set of clothes? What else are you doing?"

"That's only one set, no, I have to prepare a set, and if the wine or vegetable juice is stained at the banquet, it should be changed. You can't be rude in that kind of scene."

"Oh, sister-in-law, that's enough. Don't you still have a set of county magistrate's attire? When the time comes to wear a county magistrate's attire, the set of clothes for the palace's banquet will be fine. You have to prepare yourself and make a better set of clothes. "

"Really don't want it? What about the hair and jewelry?"

"No, don't, don't. I'm most annoyed by those complicated things. I don't dare to take big steps when I wear them on my body. It's so annoying." Tang Dai shook her head resolutely.

"..." Ning Wei spoke.Knowing Tang Dai's character, I didn't say much, and went to prepare my own things.

Of course, Ouyang Qing from the Princess House also received the post. Thinking of Tang Dai, Tang Feng should have received the post as well, and sent someone to spread the word that it was the day of the state banquet, and he came to pick up Tang Dai and go to the palace together.

In the past, Ouyang Qing would still have to think about whether his cousin Feng Rongruo would pick up Tang Daitong, and hesitated for a while, but since he knew that Feng Rongruo had forgotten about Tang Dai, he didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding suspicion.

Tang Dai thought of the eldest princess Feng Xiaoxiao, and didn't want to cause trouble, so she replied, saying that she would enter the palace with her eldest brother and sister-in-law, so he didn't need him to pick her up.

On the day of the state banquet, Tang Feng, Ning Weiyu, and Tang Dai made preparations neatly, and with the post, Xiaoqing drove the carriage to the palace.It wasn't too late for the three of them to go out, but when they got to the street, they found that it was crowded everywhere, full of carriages and people, all heading towards the imperial palace.

After walking for an hour, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace. All the people got out of the carriage and asked the servants to drive the carriage away. They walked to the gate of the palace and lined up, waiting to enter the palace.Tang Dai and Tang Feng went to the end of the line and also lined up.

"County Lord, you come to our place."

"Little genius doctor, come to us."

Someone recognized Tang Dai and hurriedly greeted Tang Dai. Tang Dai shook her head with a smile, thanked them, and continued to line up by herself.

"Mother, look, does she look very similar to you?"

A luxurious carriage stopped beside Tang Dai, someone lifted the curtain of the carriage from inside and said.Tang Dai raised her head when she heard this, and saw Zheng Yue and a beautiful woman in her 30s sitting side by side in the car. According to Zheng Yue's words, this woman should be the general's wife, Mrs. Wang.

Tang Dai looked at Mrs. Wang quietly, but there was a throbbing in her heart, which came from the feeling of the original owner of the body.Mrs. Wang looked at Tang Dai's face, it was exactly her own appearance when she was young, there was a "buzz" in her head, and countless voices rang out, this is your daughter, clamoring, ready to come, This is your daughter!This is your daughter!
Tears rolled down Mrs. Wang's face, and her heart felt like a knife was piercing her heart. What happened to her?Why do you feel this way when you see this girl?What connection does this child have with her?
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Zheng Yue looked at the tears falling down her mother's face and asked nervously.

"No, it's okay, I just saw this girl and thought of when my mother was young, I was a little excited!"

"Oh, mother, let's go then!"

Zheng Yue lowered the curtain of the carriage, blocking Madam Wang's eye contact with Tang Dai. Tang Dai reached out and touched her heart, and her heart beat like a drum, throbbing endlessly.Can't help thinking to himself, is it possible that the original owner is really connected with the Palace of the General Protecting the Nation?But the capital city is thousands of miles away from Chang'an County, how could this little baby appear there?And it happened to be picked up by cheap daddy?

However, Mrs. Wang in the carriage thought of the night of the first day of the new year that year more than ten years ago. That year's first day of the new year was different from any other year. It was sultry and hot, and then it rained heavily, and there were lightning and thunder, which lasted until the next morning.

On the evening of that day, she, who was ten months pregnant, suddenly had a stomachache. She had already given birth to a child, so she had experience and did not panic.

Although Xianggong didn't come back because of the chaos at the border that year, she and her eldest son Zheng Guo were the only ones at home, but she had already arranged everything, and Mrs. Wen also invited her, and she was only waiting for the child's arrival.Then, what she didn't expect was that not long after she had the attack, the maid of Aunt Wei, the husband Xinna, came to report to her, saying that Aunt Wei also had a stomachache and was about to give birth.

In the end, she had no choice but to endure the pain and let the servants accompany her, and braved the heavy rain to go to Aunt Wei's yard to see the situation. Her husband was not at home, so she couldn't let the husband's child have any accidents.It's just that it was cold, windy and rainy, and there was lightning and thunder. The child in her belly must have been frightened. After returning to her yard, she had a dystocia. An hour later, the child was delivered in the middle of the night, and she let go of her breath after the child was born, and passed out before even taking a look at the child.

After she woke up, the servants had already packed her up and carried her to rest on the bed, while the child was brought over by the nanny and gave her a look. She saw that the facial features looked quite like her husband, and she was a husband again. The girl who was looking forward to it was very happy.

But she herself suffered a lot, but she didn't keep Aunt Wei's child. Aunt Wei's child died when she was born, and she ordered someone to carry her out and bury her for fear of bad luck.

Since then, Aunt Wei got hurt and was no longer able to bear children for her husband. She felt very guilty, and she always took special care of Aunt Wei afterwards.After her husband came back, he felt that she was not by her side when she gave birth to the child, so these years, he has always treated her very well and doted on his daughter Zheng Yue very much.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Wang suddenly had a flash of light in her mind. Could it be that the child is her daughter, and the current daughter Zheng Yue is not her own?Because her husband was not there at that time, and the country was young, after she fainted, people with evil intentions could use this time to replace her daughter. Many, she has also heard.

Thinking of this, she quietly glanced at Zheng Yue beside her, looking at her face, which looked very much like her husband's, she was thoughtful, but her face remained calm. After the state banquet, she had to go back to the University Scholars' Mansion and ask her father to help her find out. Check it out.She just had that unexplainable, unexplainable feeling for no reason, and she was facing a strange girl who was exactly like her. Judging from the child's stature, she should be about the same age as Yue'er.

"Miss Tang, you go in with me first."

Tang Dai was in a daze when she was queuing up and suddenly heard a familiar voice. She raised her eyes and saw that it was Feng Rongruo. At some point, Feng Rongruo's carriage stopped beside them and she got off the carriage. Looking at her, she said that she was distracted just now, and she didn't even know it.

"This...is this appropriate?" Tang Dai hesitated.

"You are the county lord, there is nothing inappropriate, let's go." Feng Rongruo said indifferently.

"Dai Dai, Dai Dai... Cousin, are you there?"

Another carriage also stopped, Ouyang Qing greeted Tang Dai, stretched his head, and saw Feng Rongruo was talking in front, frustrated.Why does my cousin lose his memory, and still hang around Dai Dai, not giving him a chance, hmph.

"En? What do you mean I'm here? Can't I be here?" Feng Rongruo glanced at Ouyang Qing lightly.

"..., I didn't see that my cousin was busy receiving envoys, busy. That's why I asked this way." Ouyang Qing rolled his eyes when Feng Rongruo choked, and found an excuse.

Ouyang Qing also jumped out of the carriage, so Feng Rongruo, Ouyang Qing, and Tang Dai went to the palace. Every time they passed by, those women's eyes would look at Feng Rongruo or Ouyang Qing crazily, and then Unanimously, it fell on her.The gaze that fell on her was not the eyes of a nymphomaniac, but a knife, to cut her to pieces, or to tear her into pieces? !

Because there is no queen, Tang Dai doesn't have to go to see the queen first, following Feng Rongruo, Ouyang Qing went to the palace banquet, found her seat and sat down, people outside also came in one after another, sat down and drank Tea, snacks and fruits.　
Tang Dai searched around, except for Ouyang Qing and Feng Rongruo who she was familiar with, there was really no one she was particularly familiar with, so she just ignored it and ate the fruits on the table. In this season, these fruits are It was transported thousands of miles from the south of Fengnan Kingdom, and it is very expensive to sell outside.

Tang Feng's seat is not with Tang Dai's, sitting far away, only Ning Weiyu was brought in by Tang Dai, and the seat was arranged at Tang Dai's place, Ning Weiyu watched Tang Dai eating and drinking regardless of her image Drink, couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, and said softly about her, telling Tang Dai to pay attention to her image, but Tang Dai shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands, and said what is her image?Can I eat and drink?Although the voices of the two are not high, but for Feng Rongruo who has high martial arts skills and strong ears, the conversation between the two fell into his ears, and the corners of his mouth and eyebrows could not help but smile .

"Hey, black-hearted ghost, what are you laughing at? You know how to laugh just because you have a paralyzed face?" Ouyang Qing, who was sitting directly opposite Feng Rongruo, couldn't help being surprised when his cousin smiled.

"Which eye of yours saw me smile?" Feng Rongruo regained her expression, and glanced at her cousin with a worrying IQ.

"I can see it with both eyes, hum. Dai Dai, did you see it? The black-hearted ghost still doesn't admit it." Ouyang Qing couldn't beat his cousin, so he asked Tang Dai for help.

"Huh? What? I was eating, and I didn't hear what you two said. What are you talking about?" Tang Dai's thoughts were all on the grapes in front of her, thinking where did the grapes come from?Can you get the seeds and go back to Tangjia Village to plant them? If they can be planted, she will often have grapes to eat.

"Cousin, cousin Qing, you're here! Why don't you go find me?"

As soon as Tang Dai finished speaking, a familiar voice came over, Tang Dai rolled her eyes immediately, Ouyang Qing's love debts really made her suffer, no, here it is again, she will have to do it again later An arrow target that caught people's eyes.Alas, eat grapes, eat grapes, pretend not to see.

Sure enough, as soon as Feng Xiaoxiao walked in, she stared several times when she saw Tang Dai, but Tang Dai ate the fruit and ignored her, and Ouyang Qing was not sitting beside Tang Dai, so she turned her gaze away and ran to Ouyang Qing's room. Sitting next to him, he peeled the fruit, picked out the core, and poured tea, serving Ouyang Qing attentively.

"Hey, smile, sit down, sit down, I have long hands, and I can peel skin by myself. Oh, I said that I have long hands, and I can pour tea. This is not something a princess does, it's a court lady. What you are doing, can you pay attention to your princess image? Do it again, do it again, sit away from me...go, go, stay away, stay away, why are you so annoying? You."

"Cousin... woo, woo, woo, I'll tell my concubine mother to go, you're bullying me again!"

"Hey, Feng Xiaoxiao, stop, stop, if you cry again, I'm really leaving and ignore you. I just know how to cry, cry... you!"

Immediately, the banquet hall was filled with Ouyang Qing's helpless scolding and Feng Xiaoxiao's sobbing.Tang Dai smiled and shook her head, continued to drink and eat her own food, regardless of Ouyang Qing who was in dire straits.
After Tang Dai's belly was filled with fruit and snacks, the hall was also full of people, and almost everyone who was supposed to arrive had arrived.

"The emperor is here, the prince is here, the concubine Xian, the concubine De is here, the concubine Shu is here..." Hearing the eunuch's voice at the door, everyone in the hall immediately knelt down except Feng Rongruo.

"See Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty Xianfei..."

"Everyone is flat." Feng Qianjun's majestic voice sounded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live your majesty, long live, long live!" After everyone shouted long live three times, they all got up again and sat down in their seats.

Just as everyone sat down, the eunuch's voice came from the door again.

"The little princess of Fengbei Kingdom, the second prince is here...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dahua Country, the little prince is here!"

As the eunuch's voice fell, the second prince and little princess of Fengbei Kingdom walked in first, Tang Dai took a look, huh?This Feng Beiguo looks a bit like a modern Xinjiang person, with deep eyes and a straight nose, and he also looks alike in his attire.

There were a few men behind the two of them, carrying a few big boxes, which must have been gifts. A group of people walked in. After paying their respects to the emperor, they said hello to everyone, and then sat in their seats, because there were still big boxes behind them. The people of Huaguo want to pay their respects.

After Fengbei Kingdom, the crown prince and the little prince of Dahua Kingdom came in. Huangpu Bing walked in the front, and Tang Dai's senior brother Huangpuying was behind.ah?Prince, isn't it?Huangpu Bing turned out to be the prince?Isn't he the third prince of Dahua Kingdom?What happened in Dahua Kingdom in three years?Tang Da's eyes widened in surprise.Also, there is a senior brother behind Huangpubing, let me go, she has been busy and confused for a while, when the eunuch reported just now, she didn't even think that the little prince of Dahua Kingdom is a senior brother?

Huang Pu Bing and Huang Pu Ying came in, and after greeting the emperor, they both intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Tang Dai, and then smiled at the corners of their mouths.It's just that only the two of them know what this smile represents.

The two sat down in their seats, Tang Dai wished she could go to Huangpu Ying's place, and asked him where he had been all these hours, because she didn't even know how to care about her as a little junior sister!But rationality told her that Huangpuying's identity has been hidden from the world, and she only appeared as a little fairy monk, so she had to suppress her thoughts and stare at Huangpuying with her eyes on her mission. Huangpuying felt Tang Dai's resentment. The eyes, the corners of the mouth twitched, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Today, in order to express our warm welcome to the Dahua Kingdom from all over the Fengnan Kingdom, the envoys from the Fengbei Kingdom came to our Fengnan Kingdom. We set up a sumptuous banquet to entertain the guests. Please don't be restrained and eat and drink to your heart's content. When everyone is full, eat and drink. Appreciate and appreciate our Dafeng Nanguo singing and dancing skills, and feast your eyes."
