I owe the female honor system a billion

Chapter 141 22. Banquet
On this day in early April, the palace began to get busy.

Because a grand banquet is about to be held.

This is a state banquet, and within such a period of time, for the first time, Dawu will accept worship and tribute from all nations in the world.During the Li Dynasty, this was originally just an image ceremony.Moreover, as the national power weakened, the tributes below became more and more perfunctory, and the attitude towards Li Chao became just a casual attitude.

After all, Li Chao himself enjoys happiness in the kingdom, so how can he find the time to take care of the affairs of other places?

Many small countries originally wrote to seek help from Li Chao, but found that they were rejected by the court because of insufficient gifts, so Li Chao's reputation overseas declined significantly for a while.

But now under the rule of the Wu Dynasty, Xia Qinglan also felt that it was necessary to let those small foreign countries understand the current majesty and attitude of the Wu Dynasty.

There are also some small things that she has to solve together at this banquet.

Xia Qinglan was wearing a fine attire. On top of her black body, the crown inlaid with red and gold looked radiant, and she herself had a bit of red makeup, and a long, thin red line traced behind her eyes.

According to ancient etiquette, this is red eyebrows, which is a dress that women's families used to scare wild animals and symbolize authority in ancient times.And the emperor, as the lord of the world, as the lord of the people, wants to replace the people to intimidate the enemy and control the world.

She had already sat down in the back room of the palace, waiting for the front to be fully arranged before entering.

At this moment, Xia Qinglan's whole body exuded majesty and awe-inspiring aura, which was totally different from the easy-going and somewhat headstrong woman that Su Chang met before.This made it difficult for him to talk to the woman.

Besides, the empress is also dressed in black, but relatively speaking, there is much less red.

Red, in this world, represents women and their authority.

But even so, the beautiful facial features are still eye-catching, and people can't help but hate the unfairness. How can they describe him in such detail when describing a human face?

The empress lowered her head slightly, as if she was resting with her eyes closed, as if she was also waiting for the opening of the banquet ahead.

That Xia Qinglan sat on the same spot, looking at the young man with closed eyes and resting his mind beside him, she still couldn't help showing a little smile, then reached out and touched his ear, and brought the young man back from the silence. Pulled back to his side.

The boy opened his eyes suspiciously, but he didn't tilt his head. He had some golden hair accessories tied on his head, even if it was just a little bit of hair accessories, but for a person who had never worn hair accessories before, there was still some Unaccustomed weight.

Xia Qinglan lowered her head slightly, approached the young man's ear with a flamboyant smile, and said to the young man, "I'm wearing the underwear you woven."

The young man was speechless, and he had to tell him such things.

But seeing her put her head back with a smile on her face, as if she wanted to praise her, the young man couldn't help laughing, and then he said, "This way, I can live up to the clothes I knit."

Xia Qinglan nodded, stretched out her hand to hold the boy's hand, and waited for the banquet ahead to be ready.

In less than a quarter of an hour, some palace servants were sent by Xun Li to find Xia Qinglan so that she could go ahead.

Only now did Xia Qinglan stand up, then paused for a moment, then turned her head and extended her hand to the somewhat surprised boy.

According to the ancient etiquette, even the emperor and the empress can walk hand in hand in front of everyone.

But when he looked at the smiling emperor, Su Chang understood that she didn't care about these at all, so Su Chang also smiled slightly, put his hand on the emperor's and went out with her.

It was already ten o'clock in the afternoon in the front hall, but it had already been lit by lights all over the hall. In addition, the inside of the hall was originally made of gilt, making the entire hall look brilliant.

In the full hall, many envoys were already sitting on both sides of the hall, and there was a small table in front of each, with some refreshments placed on it for them to enjoy.

Going up the main hall, and under the high platform deep in the main hall, there are many officials from the Wu Dynasty, all wearing black official uniforms, and together with the embassy below, they all looked up at the high platform. , waiting for the protagonist of this banquet, the appearance of the emperor.

In the middle of the official seats of the Wu Dynasty below, there is another huge bronze tripod, which symbolizes the imprint of formal occasions in ancient rituals.

Finally, after seeing a pair of gorgeous people walking out from the high platform, everyone present stood up and saluted the person on the high platform.

They said in unison, "See Your Majesty (His Majesty the Emperor), Long Live Your Majesty!"

Xia Qinglan still had no reaction with a smile on her face, she just led Su Chang who was next to her to sit on the side of the high platform, then smiled at him and let him sit down, then turned her head to face the many ministers .

"Many envoys are here today, so you don't have to be so cautious, you can sit down and share the banquet." Xia Qinglan's eyes were light, and a smile on her mouth matched with the red eyebrows above her eyebrows, making her look extraordinarily majestic.It was just a simple voice, but it seemed like an order, and it had spread to the entire banquet hall in an instant.

Next to the position of the minister of the Wu Dynasty below, a white-haired woman stared blankly at the high platform above. What she looked at was not the majestic emperor, but the stunning man in the world.

That is the person she misses day and night and wants to see day and night
"Light dust."

She opened her hands uncontrollably, and opened her mouth to murmur to the boy.

look at me
I'm here for you
The man seemed to have seen himself, and showed a little surprised expression, but unexpectedly, he still couldn't keep his eyes on himself for a long time, and he turned his eyes away again, and turned back to another direction.

"Hey Grand Master Bai, you can sit down now."

While she was still staring at the high platform in a daze, a minister beside her sat down, looked at the white crane who was still staring at the high platform in a daze, couldn't help but tugged at her sleeve, and reminded her.

"Ah oh."

Bai He stiffened for a moment, then turned her gaze away, her face changed from sadness and grief to expressionless indifference, and then she sat down again, back to her seat, but her teeth were clenched, and her heart was full of pain. Lots and lots of anger.

"Clang clang ~"

Under the high platform, many palace people came from both sides, each carrying a plate, and then walked slowly in front of each envoy and minister of the Wu Dynasty, and put the delicious food on the plate After placing them with fine wine, they slowly left the hall again.

But after they went out, countless gorgeously dressed men came from the door with veils on.

No one stood barefoot, their bodies were gently dancing on the soft blanket in the hall.

For a moment, all the women below were engrossed in this scene of singing and dancing.

And Xia Qinglan at the top smiled and added some food for Su Qingchen next to her, and then took a sip of the wine in the glass, looked at the envoys below,

Gradually, he developed a special look.
