After the first fool

Chapter 87
In the Ci Ning Palace, Concubine Xue and the four Chang Zai Tong Tong were present. They were dressed luxuriously and wore red hairpins on their heads. When Mo Xiaoran stepped in, she was almost blinded by the reflection of the sun.

"The queen is here?" The queen mother sat firmly on the head, wearing a dignified court dress, with a string of crystal-clear Buddhist beads hanging on her chest, and a layer of exquisite makeup on her face, she really didn't look happy. At the age of 50, the charm still exists.

Mo Xiaoran nodded slightly, "Yes."

"Then stay here with Ai's family for a while, and when the dinner starts, let's go there together." The queen mother smiled kindly.

Liao Xue accompanied her and said heartfelt words, and Chang Zai also interjected from time to time. Mo Xiaoran just thought that she had returned to the old days when she stood in a military posture, straightened her back, sat on the chair, and did not say no. Move, really regard yourself as a vase of foil.

In the court hall, Bai Mo led the envoys to pass through the six palace gates, and arrived at the open space below the main hall of the court hall. A number of luxurious carriages stopped, and all the imperial guards knelt and knocked on Bai Zixu above him. Bai Mo got off his horse, He lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee: "See my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The neat voice was deafening, Bai Zixu raised his left hand in the air, and said in an elegant and elegant way, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone immediately got up and stood on both sides. On the carriage, the curtain was gently lifted. The prince of Lanyu Kingdom got off the carriage with three courtiers, and the princess of Xuanyuan Kingdom walked down slowly with the support of the general. , she was wearing a white gauze dress, with three thousand black silk spread behind her head, and a hazy gauze scarf covering half of her face, revealing only a pair of smart and enchanting eyes, which were as seductive as silk, and her figure was graceful Graceful.

"The Blue Feather Kingdom Lantian bestows a visit to Lord Dongyao."

"Mingxi of Xuanyuan Kingdom pays homage to Monarch Dongyao."

The crown prince and the princess saluted together, but it was not a grand ceremony of kneeling down and prostrating nine times. Dongyao, Lan Yu, and Xuanyuan are now standing in a tripod. As members of the royal family, they naturally don't need to bow down to Bai Zixu, but just bow slightly.

The smile on Bai Zixu's face became more and more gentle, and he nodded again and again: "Okay! You two have come from thousands of miles away, I will treat you as distinguished guests, please."

He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, and a eunuch immediately stepped forward and led the envoys to the imperial garden.

The theater stage has already been set up in the imperial garden, and the most famous theater troupe in the imperial city has been invited. The people file in, and the red carpet is spread on the floor. Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom in the imperial garden, and round tables are neatly arranged, with only With melons, fruits and fine wine, it is full of luxury.

Bai Zixu walked up to the temporary high platform, and sat down after the long case, with an elegant posture. Below, the envoys of Xuanyuan and Lan Yu sat at the table, and all the civil and military officials quietly sat in their respective seats.

"Everyone has come so far, I am so relieved," Bai Zixu held up a gentle smile, picked up the wine glass on the table, and gestured towards Ming Xi and Lan Tianci, "This glass of thin wine is for me. Sincerely, the prince and princess are welcome."

"Please." Lan Tianci raised his glass from a distance, then raised his head and drank it all. His eyes swept around, but he didn't see a female family member, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Where is the queen of the king? Why can't I see her?"

They came here to congratulate him on his great joy. If the protagonist is not present, wouldn't they be looking down on Lan Yu?

Bai Zixu paused when he raised the wine glass, and his face was gloomy for a moment. He didn't expect that the prince of Lanyu Kingdom would directly ask about Mo Xiaoran's whereabouts, and smiled: "The empress is still dressing in the harem, and the dinner has not yet started." At first, if the crown prince wants to see her, I will send someone to call her over."

Lan Tianci has a cynical aura, wearing a sea blue robe with embroidered green bamboo pattern, wide sleeves and narrow waist, a pair of red phoenix eyes, charming and charming, he nodded slightly: "Naturally, this prince is here to wish the king and queen The newlyweds are very happy, if the queen is not here, who will I give the gift brought by the prince?"

"The prince has been traveling so hard all the way, yet he even brought a gift?" Bai Zixu showed a little surprise appropriately.

"Naturally, although I, Lan Yu, is a small country, I still prepared a generous gift for the monarch."

Small country?

Bai Mo raised his eyebrows below, Lanyu Kingdom had always been the most powerful military force among the three kingdoms, if they were a small country, wouldn't Dongyao, whose military strength was inferior to Lan Yu's, not even be called a country?
"I, Xuanyuan, have also prepared a congratulatory gift for your majesty. Although the gift is cheap, please don't dislike it." Princess Mingxi of Xuanyuan Kingdom also stood up, her gauze skirt naturally fell down and dragged to the ground, her eyes were bright and lively. Eyes, looking at the high-headed Bai Zixu, the eyes are full of brilliance, revealing a shimmer of charm, and the sound is like a Sanskrit sound, which is crisp and beautiful.

Bai Zixu's gaze turned to her slightly, and the tangy fragrance was refreshing. She was dressed in a white veil, with a bit of mystery in her charm, making one unable to help but want to see what kind of appearance was under that veil. The country is beautiful and heavenly.

Mingxi was secretly pleased with Bai Zixu's slightly obsessed eyes, no woman can remain indifferent when seeing a man obsessed and fascinated by them.

"Brother Huang," Bai Mo saw that he was staring at the princess of Xuanyuan Kingdom, and called out aloud, with a hint of warning in his tone: "Should the emperor's wife be invited out?"

Bai Zixu was slightly annoyed by his lack of focus just now, and Bai Mo happened to give him another step, so he naturally followed the trend: "Since the two of you want to see the queen, if I obstruct you a lot, wouldn't it be inappropriate?" Looking at Li Quan who was at the side, he ordered in a low voice: "Go, ask the queen mother and the queen to come over."

Li Quan called a thousand and hurriedly responded.

"Please take a seat, the queen will be here later." Bai Zixu stroked his sleeves, and Lan Tianci and Ming Xi both took their seats.

The troupe on the stage was singing a big play, below, all the officials raised their eyes to appreciate, Bai Zixu chatted happily with the envoys of the two countries, for a while, the laughter and laughter in the entire imperial garden never stopped.

Sitting on the wooden chair, Mo Xiaoran yawned lazily, with the urge to fall asleep, next to her ears, the conversation between the Queen Mother and Liao Xue and the others sounded like magic sounds, like a hypnotic song. Qu is summoning her to see Duke Zhou.

The hurried footsteps of pedaling came from far to near, and the chatter and laughter in the bedroom stagnated, and I saw Li Quan running in from outside the hall in a panic, "Queen Mother, ladies, the emperor ordered me to invite you to visit the imperial garden." get together."

The Empress Dowager frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't it time for the dinner?"

Li Quan wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, "It was the envoys of Lan Yu and Xuanyuan who wanted to see the queen, and the emperor's special servant came here to invite someone."

Mo Xiaoran narrowed her eyes slightly, when will she become a sweet potato?How can it make the envoys of the two countries worry about it?

Li Quan's words caused several concubines to stab Mo Xiaoran with knives. What qualifications does she have to be so valued by the envoys of the two countries?
Liao Xue tore at the Juanpa in her hand, the jealousy in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Mo Xiaoran didn't seem to notice it, just look, look, she will not lose a hair if you look at it for a while, the smile on the corner of her mouth became softer, she straightened the fiery red phoenix robe on her body, and straightened up, "Queen Mother, do you want to go together?" ?”

Instead of staying here, she would rather go to the Imperial Garden.

The Empress Dowager's eyes flickered slightly, and she raised her right hand falsely. Nanny Gui stepped forward with a wink, and supported her palm, "Be careful, Empress Dowager."

"Let's go, don't make the envoys of the two countries wait for a long time." She gave an order, and the concubines in the bedroom straightened their clothes one after another, and filed out. Mo Xiaoran followed two or three steps behind the queen mother, and Liao Xue Walk shoulder to shoulder with her.

Before reaching the imperial garden, one could faintly hear the sound of drama coming from that side. Outside the imperial garden, a group of imperial guards guarded the four directions. Seeing the empresses of the harem coming, they knelt down to greet each other.

"The Queen Mother has arrived--"

"The Empress is here—"

"The imperial concubine is here—"

Li Quan's high-pitched duck voice came from the outside to the center of the banquet. Bai Zixu, who was talking with Lan Tianci, got up suddenly, and stepped down to the high platform in person. His riding boots stomped on the bluestone floor. The smile is soft and intoxicating.

"The son sees the queen mother."

The queen mother looked at the filial Bai Zixu, smiled brightly like a flower, and patted his hand: "Okay, okay."

This scene of deep love between mother and child made Mo Xiaoran lower her eyes slightly.

Entering the imperial garden, she noticed sights from all directions, she glanced secretly from the corner of her eye, some were civil and military officials, some were envoys from the two countries, but the most not to be ignored was the man in sea blue behind the long case under the high platform. A man in a robe, with a charming face, and an unruly man, and opposite him, a girl in a white gauze.

One is full of interest, and the other is vicious and resentful.

The corner of Mo Xiaoran's mouth twitched, she didn't seem to know these two people, did she?
"Queen, you're here." Bai Zixu looked away from the Queen Mother and looked at Mo Xiaoran.

Is her presence really that low?Such a big living person, he just discovered it now?Mo Xiaoran secretly rolled her eyes, but she had a dignified look on her face, with a suitable smile on her lips, neither too humble nor too humble.

Wearing a flame-like red phoenix robe, the clothes are dragging on the ground, a golden ribbon around her waist, and a lifelike silver phoenix embroidered on the clothes, making her even more noble and immature face, No makeup is applied, it has a fresh and natural smell, the face is delicate and soft, but the heroic spirit between the brows is impressive, a pair of eyes are as bright as the stars, as clear as the moon, it is really elegant and gorgeous in the world.

"Yes." She nodded lightly, and when she looked at Bai Zixu, she smiled, but there was no intimacy in her eyes, showing a strange and polite manner of rejecting others thousands of miles away.

"Go to the table." Bai Zixu didn't care about her attitude. In front of so many outsiders, he didn't want to make people laugh, so he personally sent everyone to the table. The four of them often sat behind the dragon table, and the queen mother and Mo Xiaoran sat at the table respectively. Bai Zixu was on the left and right sides, while Liao Xue was below Mo Xiaoran. Just by looking at the seats, one could tell their respective identities, and they could distinguish between superior and inferior.
