Crossing the Condor Heroes: The First Sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 656 Imperial Palace Banquet
In the evening, an "imperial banquet" was held in Kaifeng Imperial City.

The person who presided over the banquet was naturally Li Qingwei, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

And the invited objects included civil and military officials of all ranks, as well as Guo Jing's family.

This was the first time the emperor and his ministers "have fun together", and Li Yuhan went back to the Vulture Palace, and then transferred Haotian and Chitian to Kaifeng.

And not only brought them, but also brought all the people from Baituoshan.

In today's White Camel Mountain, apart from Hassan and some female disciples who are already married or are too young, the rest of the disciples followed everyone from Vulture Palace to the Central Plains.

Compared with the yellow sand in the desert, life in the Central Plains is naturally more comfortable, so bring them to the Central Plains to enjoy the blessings.

And these white camel mountain disciples are good at singing and dancing.

They arranged the dance for this imperial banquet.

Although all civil and military officials, including Li Qingwei's harem ladies, felt that the dance was graceful and graceful, and even enjoyed it.

But only Guo Jing frowned when he saw the song and dance.

Huang Rong, who was sitting next to Guo Jing, asked, "What's wrong with Brother Jing?"

Guo Jing looked at the graceful dance and said: "This dance reminds me of the time when I was in Khwarezm. When I led the army into Samarkand, the Great Khan also let such a group of women from the Western Regions sing and dance for the Mongols. Turtle was captured alive. After the Queen Mother Khan, the sad singing of the Queen Mother Turhan, as well as the subjugated dance of the concubines and princesses of the Sultan of Mokomo, are what we see today."

Huang Rong said with a smile at this time: "Brother Jing, don't think too much, look at the girls singing and dancing, and the musicians, how happy they are. The events of those years have passed, not to mention Genghis Khan, even if it is Genghis Khan. His son, your Anda Tore, is dead."

"As for the dance back then, those girls were forced to sing and dance. Naturally, there were no bright smiles on the faces of these girls. We, husband and wife, have helped protect the Song Dynasty for many years, but our dreams have come true in this new Tang Dynasty. .”

At this moment, Huang Rong pointed to Song Ci and his wife who were opposite, and she continued: "Look! There is nothing more Zhongliang in Song Dynasty than Master Song. Right now Master Song is serving Datang wholeheartedly, which shows that Datang is far more enlightened than Song Dynasty. In the past, I heard my father talk about the "All nations come to court, the great Tang Dynasty". I feel that this prosperous age will return to this land in the near future."

As she spoke, Huang Rong looked at Li Qingwei who was sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a flat sky crown and a dragon robe.

Huang Rong said at this time: "Brother Jing, otherwise we will also send Fu'er into the palace."

Guo Jing looked at his wife and said, "Oh? But what did the emperor say to you?"

Huang Rong shook her head and said, "Of course not. Just look at our daughter's expression and you'll know."

After listening to Huang Rong's words, Guo Jing looked at Guo Fu who was at the same table with Yeluyan in the back row.

The delicacies in front of Guo Fu basically didn't move much, but her eyes were always looking at Li Qingwei who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Seeing his daughter's expression, Guo Jing sighed.

"There are many concubines around the emperor, why should we send Fu'er to do the Ruoshui Sanqian?" Although Guo Jing was very strict with Guo Fu on weekdays, there is no father who does not love his daughter.

Although Guo Jing has no prejudice against three wives and four concubines, he is still a little bit reluctant to let his daughter enter the palace to compete for favor.

Huang Rong said at this time: "Hey! As a mother, I understand Fu'er's thoughts. Fu'er is born to be very strong. The man she likes is naturally the dragon among men. We once wanted to betroth Fu'er to Er, but Guo'er already has something in her heart, and we can't force it. However, Fuer's own favorite things, our opinions, presumably she will not listen to it."

Guo Jing said at this time: "Does Fu'er really like the emperor? Maybe it's because Fu'er is curious about the decoration on the golden seat."

Huang Rong said with a smile: "My brother Jing has been so stupid for so many years. As the saying goes, a woman is a person who pleases herself. Every time Fu'er meets the emperor, she dresses up beautifully. Naturally, she can't hide her small thoughts. mine."

But at this time, Huang Rong also said with a little melancholy: "I just don't know what my junior brother is thinking. Although Fu'er has a beautiful face, he has never looked at it seriously. But it's no wonder that there is Miss Long beside him. Such a beauty, naturally I don't put Fuer in my eyes. Fuer may be a fruitless relationship."

At the banquet, Li Qingwei enjoyed the singing and dancing calmly, but Duan Siying kept staring at Li Qing'an and his wife.

Meanwhile, Li Qing'an was drinking alcohol, neither the graceful singing and dancing on the field nor the delicious food on the table could arouse his interest.

And Su Yuan also paid attention to Li Qing'an.

Although Su Yuan is married to Li Qingwei now, she was also the first wife who lived with Li Qingan for three years.

And she used to be a good wife and mother who cared for her husband very well.

She has a more detailed understanding of Li Qingan's diet, daily life, and various habits than Li Guo, the regent princess.

Li Qingan seldom drank alcohol because of her health, and Li Guo was the best doctor, so she would also restrict her husband's diet because of his health.

But Li Qing'an drank seven or eight glasses of wine in a row today, but Li Guo didn't stop him at all, Li Guo just lowered his head with a gloomy expression.This is absolutely not normal.

If it wasn't for the royal banquet in the palace, you can't walk around at will. Su Yuan would have to ask Li Guo what happened.

Soon, the last song and dance ended, and the imperial banquet in the palace was also considered to be over.

After the civil and military officials bowed down to Li Qingwei, they went back to their homes.

The same is true for Li Qing'an, the regent of the Tang Dynasty. Li Guo entrusted his younger sister, Wan Yanping, to send her brother-in-law back to his residence.

And she stayed in the palace.

After the banquet, Li Qingwei drove to Zichen Palace, preparing for bed and rest.

But today it was supposed to be Zhao Ke's "bed attendant", but Li Qingwei ordered Su Yuan instead.

Now Li Qingwei and Su Yuan are both in Zichen Palace.

"Will Xiao Guoer really come?"

Although Li Qingwei is now the son of heaven and Su Yuan has become the empress, the married life of the two of them has not changed much. Su Yuan is still like the good wife and mother in the past, making the bed for Li Qingwei.

Li Qingwei sat in front of the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror and said, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law will come. I saw that it was Miss Wanyan who sent eldest brother back. My sister-in-law didn't leave the palace, so the place she can go is naturally here. "

As Li Qingwei expected, Li Guo was already outside Zichen Hall at this time.

However, she was stopped by the inner court guards of Vulture Palace.

"Princess, please stay. Your Majesty has already gone to bed. If the concubine has something to do, please come back tomorrow." The guard of Vulture Palace said.

Li Guo said pleadingly: "Please be kind enough to let me meet the emperor. I have something important to report to the emperor in private. Please pass it on to my sister. I believe the emperor will meet me."

The guard said: "Please don't embarrass your slaves, my lord. The lord has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to approach the Zichen Palace after nightfall without the emperor's summons. Anyone who violates it will be killed without mercy."
