The price of "Hua Yan" has not yet been negotiated, and the day of the palace banquet has arrived.
Nangong Yue put on makeup and entered the palace with Xiao Yi.
Today's palace banquet was arranged in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When the two arrived, there were already many officials in the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, they attracted a lot of attention. Since the Meridian Gate was dedicated to prisoners, Xiao Yi has been staying in the Zhennan Palace, sticking to Nangong Yue, and almost staying out of the house. He occasionally takes Nangong Yue with him when he goes out, so that those who want to have a relationship with him are not until today. They found an opportunity, and they all came forward to greet each other, and only after a short walk of more than ten feet was able to sit for a stick of incense...
Before the emperor arrived, the ministers and the female relatives chatted in twos and threes, and the topic naturally revolved around today's palace banquet. Words of class come and go in the temple...
At that time, all the ministers took their seats in the temple one by one, and the emperor and queen rose to the throne in their chorus of long live.
The emperor is radiant and full of energy today, and the wealth of the country is becoming more and more powerful. For the emperor, it is more effective than any panacea.
After receiving Eunuch Liu's wink, the little waiter reported in a sharp voice: "Baiyue envoys are here to see you!" The "Baiyue" in his mouth was the name of the southern barbarian country, but it was just that Da Yu and Shang, on informal occasions, were ignorant of the barbarians from all over the world. is a contempt for it.
Soon, six high-ranking ambassadors dressed in fancy clothes lined up in two rows and bowed into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with solemn and solemn expressions. Behind them were more than a dozen beauties of the southern barbarians, each of them wearing a white dance dress with gold threads in the same color, and each of them was slender and moving. The robes flew, like white waves.
Several envoys stopped in the center of the hall and bowed three times and nine times to the emperor who was sitting high on the throne.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the civil and military officials on both sides and the ladies who were appointed by the imperial life were all secretly discussing and whispering to these exotic visitors in strange clothes.
Since Dayu established his dynasty, Baiyue has never sent an envoy to meet him. Today, it is for the sake of peace. Straight, with his chin slightly raised, he looked at the envoys contemptuously.
Logically, if ordinary envoys came to Dayu, the emperor would of course give seats to these guests from far away, but this time, the envoys from Nanman came to ask for peace, and the emperor put on a full stance. , just let them get up lightly.
The envoy at the head bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Emperor Dayu, I Adachi has come to the Emperor of Heaven to ask for peace. A tribute of one million taels of silver, a thousand ox and horse, and ten thousand of silk and silk, in exchange for peace between the two countries."
Baiyue caused Dayu a lot of losses this time, how could it be so easy to make it come true! A cold gleam flashed in the emperor's eyes.
Uncle Xuan Ping, who has always been sympathetic to the Holy Spirit, took a step forward and said coldly, "Envoy Ada Chi, you and I have enjoyed peace for seventeen years, but your ambition is to surpass the wolf's ambition, and you sent troops to occupy our great land and slaughter it. I, the people of Dayu, want to seek peace in two cities now? It’s too much to underestimate my Dayu, right?”
This negotiation is just like doing business. You have to negotiate a few times, and Adachi didn't expect it to be done once, so he was not in a hurry. He was about to speak, but a male voice said casually: "Your Majesty, I doubt whether Baiyue really has the heart to negotiate. As we all know, the road from Dayu to Nanyuan City is surrounded by a swamp. If you want to go to Nanyuan City, you must Bypassing Liushui Mountain, what's the use of coming to such a city? As for the Silicon Jade City, it used to be a good place for jade, but the jade has been mined out in recent years, and merchants and craftsmen have come from there. After most of it has been evacuated, such a desolate city is still delusional to give us Dayu!"
A Dachi was sweating profusely after saying a sentence, and he couldn't help thinking: "I don't know who this person is?" Unexpectedly, this capital is thousands of miles away from the southern border, and there are people who know so much about their city of Baiyue.
He looked at the sound with trepidation, and saw that the speaker was a handsome young man in a brocade. The other party looked seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked like a boy and a girl, and his appearance was as beautiful as a character in a painting.
An envoy at the left rear of A Dachi immediately whispered something in A Dachi's ear, A Dachi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the other party again in disbelief.
Xiao Yi!
He is actually Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan!
That is the Xiao Yi who ruined his great affairs this time!
A Dachi was in a very complicated mood for a while. Before this battle, the Prince of Zhennan was unknown; but now when he first entered the battlefield, he legendary defeated the battle-hardened eldest prince, which has already spread all over Baiyue. , and it became more and more bizarre. Later, Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan, was rumored to be a god-like existence, and many Baiyue officers and soldiers even swore that his face was like a yaksha, and he was so ferocious that he was so ferocious in Baiyue. It makes the listeners change color when they hear the wind, and the children cry incessantly at night.
He still remembered the day he entered the capital. Although he only saw Xiao Yi's back, his arrogant and arrogant attitude that he didn't even care about the prince made him very frightened.
But he never imagined that the legendary prince Zhennan turned out to be a picturesque young man. If someone hadn't told him, he couldn't believe it. Since the beginning of Nanwang, he has forged a grudge with him Baiyue... Now, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, if there is one person who does not want this peace negotiation to succeed, it is only the prince of Zhennan.
Deciding whether His Royal Highness the First Prince can safely return to Baiyue is the peace negotiation this time, and he must not make any mistakes.
A Dachi carefully raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor on the throne. Seeing that the emperor's face was sinking like water, he was busy and lowered his head. The emperor said solemnly: "Envoy, what can you say?" beyond words.
A Dachi was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. Baiyue King chose Nanyuan City and Silicon Jade City for his own selfishness, but he couldn't recognize it here anyway. He wiped the sweat from the meal with his cuff, and said in a trembling voice: "Emperor Dayu, Nanyuan City and Silicon Jade City are close to Dayu's southern border. My king also has good intentions. If Emperor Dayu has any objection, I can write to you as soon as possible. Discuss with my king again."
The envoy's bowing was something everyone expected. After all, Da Yu has won a big victory now. Whether to pursue the victory or just truce the battle is just a word from the emperor. What's more, the first prince of Baiyue is still in the emperor's hands. Just hearing the envoy's humble prayer at this time made the emperor and the ministers in the hall lift their spirits and raise their eyebrows.
After a pause, the envoy continued: "Emperor Dayu, my king ordered me to bring 16 stunning beauties of our country to present to His Majesty, as a sign of our country's sincerity towards His Majesty!"
At the same time as he spoke, those stunning Baiyue women all leaned over slightly, showing their exquisite figure, and attracted a lot of admiring eyes from the temple for a while. This beauty from an exotic land is still unique.
With so many beauties, the emperor can't bear it alone, so...
The minister with a flexible mind had already thought of it, and he looked around secretly, guessing that he didn't know who would have such a blessing today.
Sure enough, after the emperor accepted the beauties, he began to reward important officials. The King of Qi was the emperor's brother, and naturally he was indispensable. Xuan Pingbo was the emperor's close minister, and he also got one. There were also several clan children and important members of the court.
Such a beauty entered the back house, not Ji or a concubine, at best it was just a gadget, and no one would care to charge an extra one.
At this time, the men were beaming with joy, but the women felt sour in their hearts, but most of these ladies wanted to show their virtues and virtues, and they were also worried that it was a gift from the emperor. Also don't care. But there are some people who can't swallow this breath, Princess Qi endured and endured, suddenly thought of a plan, and the corners of her mouth twitched proudly.
She stood up and said blessedly, "Your Majesty, Xiao Shizi is the hero of this battle. The courtier said boldly, the emperor must not forget to reward Xiao Shizi!" Princess Qi was proud, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue It is a newly married couple, and there must be no room for sand in their eyes. This time is really a God-given opportunity, and Nangong Yue's loss is a foregone conclusion!
After Princess Qi said this, the emperor's eyes also fell on Xiao Yi, but he was a little moved.
Indeed, Xiao Yi made a great contribution this time, and naturally he should be rewarded!
Xiao Yi glanced at Princess Qi coldly, but quickly smiled nonchalantly, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you can't reward these beauties to your ministers! Your ministers are now married to Baiyue. Hate, I heard that the people of Baiyue are eager to eat the blood of the ministers and eat the flesh of the ministers, if these beauties come to the minister's mansion... Maybe the emperor will never see the ministers again tomorrow!"
When Xiao Yi said the first sentence, all the ministers frowned slightly, feeling that he was arrogant and arrogant, but when he analyzed the back, everyone, including the emperor, deeply agreed.
yes!
The prince of Zhennan killed so many southern barbarians this time, and these southern barbarian beauties probably hated him to death!
In this day and night defense, the most difficult thing to prevent is the person next to the pillow. Princess Qi's idea is really thought-provoking.
For a time, countless speculative gazes were cast on Princess Qi's body.
Xiao Yi glanced at Princess Qi lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the princess cares so much about the minister, the minister is really moved. Why don't you give the princess the beauty that the emperor planned to give to the minister!"
This is said to be a reward to the princess, but everyone knows that it is actually a reward to the king of Qi.
Inexplicably got another Nanban beauty. King Qi was overjoyed and thanked him, while Princess Qi's face was blue and white. I didn't expect that this son of Xiao was so ignorant of praise!
Adachi didn't mind how Emperor Dayu distributed those beauties. As long as the emperor was willing to accept these beauties, it would be a very good start for the peace talks.
A Dachi said respectfully, "Your Majesty Emperor Dayu, the Holy Maiden of my country has prepared meticulously. I would like to perform a dance for you in the palace today. Please grant me your permission!"
Whether it is the emperor or the courtiers of Dayu, they have long heard how stunning and talented the Southern Barbarian Saintess is.
After the emperor approved, two young women walked into the hall side by side. The one on the left was dressed in a green dress and looked just fine. He was holding a red waist drum in his hand, looking like a musician.
The white gauze skirt on the right wrapped Miaoman's delicate body, and her black hair like seaweed fell down to her waist. Her face was covered with a white veil, and her delicate and beautiful face was looming under the veil, revealing a bit of mysterious and hazy beauty.
Outside the veil, her bare forehead was as white as jade, as delicate and flawless as a porcelain doll carved from pink and jade. But what attracted everyone's attention the most was her bright eyes outside the veil. These eyes turned out to be a sky-clear blue, so translucent and beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
Obviously, this masked and stunning woman must be the saint in A Dachi's mouth.
Everyone's eyes wandered on her face, and there was a hint of disappointment in their eyes.
Since they have all come to dance for the emperor, it is really suspicious of pretending to be mysteriously veiled!
After the two women bowed to the emperor in unison, the musicians stepped aside, and at the same time, she tapped the small drum, and the soft and cheerful drumming began.
The woman in white leaped up lightly, raised her slender jade legs, and danced gracefully, revealing her slender white and tender jade feet. Her snow-white and crystal bare feet are small and exquisite, her ankles are slender yet plump, soft and boneless, as smooth as jade, as soft as satin, her slender toes are well-proportioned and neat, and her pale red toenails are crystal clear, like the petals of a peach blossom.
The long skirt that had been dragged to the ground before was covered, and it was only at this moment that everyone realized that this Southern Barbarian Saint was dancing barefoot, and the officials in the hall could not help but widen their eyes.
In the rhythmic drumbeat, the woman in white danced her body to the fullest. She was like water, sometimes excited, like a stormy sea; sometimes whispered, like a drizzle. Her delicate body is extremely soft and light, and every movement is unbelievably beautiful. Her body is as soft as a snake and can be bent to an incredible angle. When she jumps, she seems to have a pair of wings behind her and flies up... Charming, sometimes delicate, sometimes mysterious, when dancing, the white veil and gauze skirt fluttered with her dance like butterfly wings, occasionally showing off her slender neck, occasionally revealing delicate red lips and pointed chin, trying to hide her. Still hiding, the exotic aura revealed between her gestures and gestures is dizzying, and she can't wait to take off the veil on her face to take a peek at her face.
I don't know how long it took, the drum sound gradually slowed down, then became violent like a violent storm, and finally came suddenly.
The dance of the woman in white also stopped with the sound of the drums. From extreme movement to extreme stillness in a flash, her slender figure stood in the hall, looking so thin, yet she had a feeling of being left behind and independent.
She raised her slender jade hand and slowly took off the white gauze on her face, revealing her beautiful facial features little by little, with a hibiscus, soft red lips half-opened, paired with those bright blue eyes, bright and clear, Gu Pan Shenfei is unbelievably beautiful, but it is neither demon nor flattering, with a touch of holiness.
In the sound of gasping for breath, she gracefully knelt down three times and nine times knelt: "See your Majesty Emperor Dayu for setting up your clothes."
Her voice is like a clear spring, her articulation is articulate, and what is even more surprising is that she can speak a fairly fluent Taiyu language.
The ministers couldn't help but admire, whispering: This Southern Barbarian Saint is indeed well-deserved! That dance was completely different from their Taiyu dance, but it had an indescribable beauty.
King Qi, who has always loved beauty, even stared at the saint, his eyes were almost obsessed, and Princess Qi felt hatred in her heart: Another fox!
However, Princess Qi also knew in her heart that there was only one saint, and it must not be the turn of King Qi, and she didn't know whether the emperor would accept it by himself, or...
Thinking of this, Princess Qi finally felt more relaxed in her heart, and even gave birth to a bit of anticipation, waiting for a good show.
Such a beautiful woman and good at dancing, even the emperor who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties couldn't help showing a hint of interest, and laughed: "No ceremony!" After a while, he said, "I didn't expect the saint to tell us Great talk."
Li Yi stood up and replied: "Back to His Majesty Emperor Dayu, Li Yi liked the culture of the Central Plains since he was a child. He not only learned Dayu's language, but also read a lot of Dayu's books."
A few words were not flattering, but he gave Dayu a hand, which made the smile in the emperor's eyes even stronger.
The envoy A Dachi was secretly delighted, and he walked to the center of the hall again, stood beside the saintess's clothes, and bowed: "Your Majesty Dayu Emperor, my king ordered me to tell your majesty that I want to use the saintess to marry Dayu! I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
It’s not impossible to have a marriage, but, unlike the beauties who were offered as playthings by the envoys just now, the marriage is to announce the world, and the emperor must give the saintess a name... The emperor raised his brows thoughtfully, his eyes were fixed. She lingered on her beautiful face.
Looking at the emperor's eyes, A Dachi's heart was relieved, and he felt that there was still great hope in this matter.
However, the several ministers below were stunned in their hearts. This saintess was a saint, but in fact she was just a southern barbarian who was ruddy and drinking blood, but she was enchanting and charming, just like the reincarnation of Daji and the resurrection of Baosi. If this is really brought into the harem by the emperor, the emperor will be fascinated by it, not only will it disturb the harem, but it will even give birth to a dragon child mixed with the blood of the southern barbarians.
A minister couldn't help getting up and said, "Your Majesty, this Saintess of Baiyue is neither a princess nor the blood of a royal family. It is really inappropriate for Baiyue to use her as a relative."
"Your Majesty, what Lord You said is very true." Another minister stood up and agreed, and deliberately glanced at the saint girl's clothes with contempt, "This saint girl is indeed very talented in dancing, after all, she is just a dancer. ."
Hearing this, A Dachi's face froze, showing a hint of humiliation and annoyance, and said, "His Majesty Emperor Dayu, what the Holy Maiden danced just now was the dance of sacrifice to the gods!" A Dachi took a deep breath and argued He added, "Please Rong Adachi to say a few more words, if you compare the dancer to a craftsman, then my country's saintess can be called 'masters', these ordinary craftsmen are just repeating the same work, but the master is not. It is creating. The dance performed by the saint just now is extraordinary and refined, it is the dance of my Baiyue sacrifice to the gods, and it is definitely not the flattering dancer!"
A Dachi's remarks are also reasonable and well-founded, and they also moved several ministers in the hall.
Indeed, once any skill has reached the status of a "master", it will be different from ordinary people, and it will reach a new realm.
Lord Nayou said again: "Envoy Adachi, although the holy maiden has extraordinary dancing skills, she is compared to a 'master'. Do you have the suspicion of boasting? I also have women with extraordinary dancing skills in Dayu, but I dare not call myself a master. With that said, he turned around and bowed to the emperor, "According to Wei Chen's knowledge, the third prince has a confidante, the white girl, who is also good at dancing. She once danced when the envoy from Xiye visited Dayu, and ordered Quan Quan to dance. The field was amazed, and even the envoy was shocked. The minister thought it would be better to ask the white girl to compete with the saintess, and see who is better and who is the real 'master'!"
When Lord You mentioned this, the emperor also remembered Bai Muxiao's sword dance at the Fang Banquet in Yuncheng. The phrase "kill a person in ten steps, and leave a thousand miles behind" seems to still ring in his ears.
Although Bai Muxiao's remarks to the third prince were too frivolous and displeased the emperor, the emperor had to admit that this little girl was indeed a bit bold.
The emperor pondered for a while, and said: "Send my word, Xuan Bai's daughter will go to the palace!"
As soon as the emperor gave the order, the servants hurried away immediately.
However, there was some commotion in this hall because of this sudden change. Most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and those female relatives did not know much about Bai Muxiao, but they quickly learned about Qiqi after the detailed explanation of some insiders. Eighty-eight.
For a time, most of the people in the hall cast their eyes on the third prince and the third prince, most of them were waiting to see the show.
Since this white girl is the concubine of the third prince who has not entered the door, then if she does not perform well and loses face, the loss will be the third prince's face; !
Everyone's eyes seemed to be pierced by countless needles on Cui Yanyan's body, but her usual upbringing did not allow her to have any gaffes, so she could only try her best to hold the air and drink tea as if nothing had happened.
The dowry maid behind her has always understood her master's temperament. Seeing the way she was holding the porcelain cup too hard, she knew that she was afraid that she was very angry, and her body trembled subconsciously. The master was unhappy, and in the end it was just their servants who were unlucky... When it came to the people, the master was still the elegant, noble and decent third prince concubine.
About half an hour later, Bai Muxiao walked slowly into the palace in a moon-white dress in the high-pitched announcement from the maid. Today is the official palace banquet. Therefore, the makeup is solemn and dignified and self-contained. In comparison, Bai Muxiao just wears a simple pair of flat hoods and wears a few pink bead flowers on her head, which makes her look much fresher and cleaner.
As soon as Bai Muxiao entered the hall, Han Lingfu's eyes couldn't help falling on her. Although he tried to restrain himself, he couldn't hide the scorching heat and admiration in his eyes.
This woman is the most sensitive, and the third prince concubine Cui Yanyan is not a fool. Naturally, she also felt something wrong with her husband, and her heart froze. Because since the marriage, the third prince has never had a marriage with her. Even if she disregarded the shame and used the empress dowager to reveal the matter, the third prince still did not obey, and even became more indifferent to her.
Cui Yanyan had long suspected that the third prince would treat her like this, probably because of Bai Muxiao's relationship. Now it seems that her suspicions are not wrong! Could it be that the third prince is reluctant to marry him, is it really because of this woman?
Cui Yanyan's sombre eyes were also fixed on Bai Muxiao's body, her face was secretive.
After Bai Muxiao knelt down and saluted the emperor, the internal servant explained the ins and outs of the matter, Bai Muxiao's face became more and more gloomy.
The emperor personally sent someone to the White House to pick her up into the palace, of course she was in shock, but the inner servant who came to pass the word of mouth immediately kindly hinted that this time was a great opportunity for her... But if she kept asking, what would the inner servant do? Also reluctant to disclose.
Bai Muxiao didn't know until this moment that the emperor recruited her to the palace to make her dance in front of the ministers.
There was a look of humiliation in Bai Muxiao's eyes, and it was dark.
At the beginning, she was willing to dance in front of the Xirong envoy. First, it was out of her own will; second, it was to maintain the dignity of Dayu in front of the envoy.
But this time is very different!
The emperor's lingering attitude when he is called upon is clearly belittling her and treating her as a dancer!
Although I don't think dancers are humble, but in the eyes of these Oyo people, dancers are cheap jobs!
The emperor first ordered her to be the concubine of the third prince, and now he regards her as a dancer...
Even if she didn't look around, she could know that the so-called noble ladies of those officials were looking at her with contemptuous eyes as if they were looking at playthings... Nangong Yue, the Third Prince and Concubine must be one of them!
Bai Muxiao knelt down in the hall with her eyes down for a moment, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "Go back to the emperor, although the girl's status is low, she is not a dancer, please choose another person for the emperor!" Of course Bai Muxiao knew what she said. What would happen if she made these remarks? If the emperor became angry for a while, it was also possible to order her to be executed. But a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If she abandons all her principles and pursues the emperor's infatuation, will she still be the same as her?
Even she herself will despise herself!
Bai Muxiao's remarks shocked the whole hall. Whether it was Manchu Wenwu or Mrs. Gao Ming, they all looked at her in disbelief.
Is this little girl crazy?
The emperor asked her to dance a dance, it was holy favor, she was so ignorant of praise!
Probably only Nangong Yue was not surprised at all, she was happily eating the fish that Xiao Yi had picked for her. She didn't care at all whether Bai Muxiao danced or didn't dance. And Xiao Yi didn't even bother to pay attention to who was dancing. Seeing that his stinky girl was eating happily, he picked it up even more vigorously.
At this time, the person who cares most is probably the third prince and his wife.
Cui Yanyan looked at Bai Muxiao with a look of schadenfreude, secretly looking forward to the emperor's heavy punishment!
However--
In the next instant, Han Lingfu stood up resolutely and said respectfully to the emperor, "Father, the words of Miss Bai may be too reckless and bold, but they are not bad. Miss Bai is not a dancer."
To be honest, Han Lingfu was a little disappointed in his heart. He thought this was a great opportunity, enough to change Bai Muxiao's impression in the emperor's heart, but he didn't expect Bai Muxiao to reject it... In addition to disappointment, Han Lingfu had no choice but to Tell yourself that Bai Muxiao is the girl he admires. Since she doesn't want to, since she feels humiliated, how can he force her regardless of her wishes!
How could he helplessly watch her anger the father and emperor, so that Xiang Xiaoyu died?
As a man, if he can't even protect the woman he loves, can he still be considered a man?
Han Lingfu said to himself firmly in his heart, so he clearly knew that his remarks just now would offend the emperor, but he still stood up and said it.
For a moment, Cui Yanyan's face could no longer be steady, and the whole face darkened.
This woman, this woman who only deserves to be a lowly concubine, is so fascinated by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and does not know what kind of ecstasy this bitch has given His Highness, so that His Highness even challenged the Emperor! Isn't this crazy?
Cui Yanyan's eyes were glued to Bai Muxiao's body like she was suddenly poisoned...
To Bai Muxiao, none of these matters, but when she saw the emperor's displeased expression towards Han Lingfu, she couldn't ignore it.
For his own sake, Han Lingfu did not hesitate to offend the supreme emperor, which might even affect his path to succession. He still had no hesitation.
She stared deeply at Han Lingfu for a moment, and said to herself that for the future of herself and the third prince, she must also make a choice. She can't be selfish, only caring about her meager dignity, but sacrificing his great future.
Compared to his sacrifice, even if he endured the humiliation for a while, what was it!
Bai Muxiao took a deep breath, finally made a decision, endured the humiliation, and begged the whole way: "Please don't blame His Highness the Third Prince, the people are willing to dance!"
Hearing this, Han Lingfu looked at Bai Muxiao in disbelief.
