Chapter 224: Palace Banquet Frightened
"That's fine, it's fine."
Qi Gongren nodded and didn't ask anything more. The rest of the time they sat in the distance, as if they were thinking about something.
The time for this incense stick passed very quickly. After a while, the uterus turned the wooden door again, "The zither and the jade flute are ready. When will the two apprentices come out to wait for the seat?"
Perhaps I felt that I had misunderstood the two prostitutes just now, and the attitude of this palace maid had obviously improved a lot.
Liu Ruohuan and Qi Guanren did not waste time, so they opened the door and walked out of it.
Unexpectedly, they just rested in the house for a while and the downstairs were already filled with people.
Countless women in official uniforms wearing peony flower cases sit on the chairs, each with their shoulders and heads raised, with dignified posture and great momentum.
Looking around, these women in the official uniform account for almost 90% of the number. This female version of civil and military officials, just sitting here neatly, gave Liu Ruohuan a sense of oppression in momentum.
In addition to the two or three scattered tables, there were women with strange clothes, there were envoys of the Western Liang Kingdom wearing colorful brocade silk and satin, envoys of the Miao village with cumbersome silver, and... In short, a little swept away, there were actually twenty or thirty envoys and distinguished guests above the guest.
In front of each person was accompanied by a golden carving table, with fine wine and fruits.
As the most luxurious decoration in the palace, this Lishui Pavilion represents the face of the Han and Tang dynasties. The glow-top sandalwood is used as beams, crystal jade bi is used as lamps, and many curtains stringed with pearls are hung between the beams and woods, all of which show nobility.
Liu Ruohuan also saw the people she was familiar with in the faces of these people.
For example, the young girl surrounded by everyone was also wearing an official uniform, sitting upright among the crowd, looking at the empty throne without changing her eyes.
The beautiful face was so beautiful among the officials, making her look particularly prominent just when she sat there.
As if she sensed Liu Ruohuan's gaze, she turned her head in surprise and looked at the seat. When she saw that it was Liu Ruohuan, a moment of surprise flashed in her eyebrows.
Liu Ruohuan booed her while no one was paying attention.
The woman who understood this idea nodded slightly, then turned back and fell into deep thought.
"Rou'er, what's wrong?"
The beautiful woman sitting next to her immediately noticed her strangeness and asked with concern.
The woman took a deep breath, shook her head and replied, "I was thinking about something just now... I was a little bit running."
"You have to put everything in your mind, and your aunt will introduce you later. This is the first time you have appeared in front of the queen, so you must leave a good impression."
Qiao Jingrou nodded softly when she heard her mother's advice.
"I always present poems on the banquet. In fact, the queen also pays much attention to you. This is a good opportunity, don't make a mistake... If your name of the saint of books is recognized by the dynasty, then the influence of my Qiao family in the Han and Tang Dynasties can be further enhanced. The previous rebellion of Aunt Qiao San can also turn more or less the pages."
In fact, Qiao Jingrou couldn't understand these words very well, but it was her duty as a contemporary calligraphy saint who did her best for the family.
When Liu Ruohuan saw Qiao Jingrou talking to the beautiful woman beside her, she was not surprised at all that she was there, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
"The eldest princess, the third princess is here!"
As a notice came, all the female officials in the audience stood up and knelt down. The palace maids on the second floor also brought Liu Ruohuan and Qi Gongren upstairs to kneel up and bow down.
Only those envoys just bowed slightly.
Everyone shouted in unison, his voice deafening, "Your Highness, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years
Liu Ruohuan also followed suit, knelt on the ground, with his head hanging down on the ground, and said in agreement.
The scene lasted for about three or five minutes, and I could only vaguely hear the sound of soft silk shoes stepping on the ground downstairs. During this period, everyone didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Only then did Liu Ruohuan realize that kowtowing was a physical job in ancient times. Before he could appear on stage, he bent all over his body and pressed on the ground, which was already sore back.
It was not until I heard the sparse sound of the two princesses sitting, and the princess’ voice was heard, “Get up.”
Liu Ruohuan raised her head and saw the two princesses sitting on the dragon throne, scanning everyone below on the Golden Eagle Dragon Platform.
At first glance, the eldest princess dressed up in full dress was covered with gold silk and silk, and her body was wrapped in tulle. She was made of a cloak of fine yellow silk on her shoulders, forming a perfect match with her skirt.
Her upper hair was trayed in a round shape, and several emerald hairpins were inserted, which was very elegant and luxurious.
However, what attracted Liu Ruohuan the most was not the eldest princess who was dressed up in attendance, but the third princess beside her.
Compared with the luxurious style of the eldest princess, she wore a white dress with plum blossoms and a plum blossom with a mop of smoke and a scented plum blossom, and a magnolia flying butterfly cloak with moon satin embroidered on it.
The inner lining is covered with light pink brocade, the cuffs are embroidered with exquisite gold pattern butterflies, and a few lace laces are hooked on the lace of the chest.
The whole person was like a butterfly flying into the flowers, which attracted the attention of the audience.
Liu Ruohuan didn't know how to describe this feeling. Even though he had seen the beauty of the third princess before, now when he saw her carefully decorated, he had to admit that the third princess had an indescribable beautiful face, which could make people deeply addicted to her at first sight.
He took some time to correct his thoughts and turned around and saw that good guy, the famous Qi Gongren, had a little confused look.
Liu Ruohuan coughed lightly in a voice that only people around him could hear. Only then did Qi Guanren react and smiled and nodded to him, thanking him.
Everyone stood up from the ground, and after the neat sleeves, they took their seats again.
It seems that as long as the Queen of Today appears on the court, the banquet will start.
"The Queen is here!"
Finally here!
This queen is truly notorious to some extent. From the earliest arm of the general protecting the country, Liu Ruohuan had no good feelings for the emperor.
He was very curious. What kind of face would such a foolish monarch appear on this banquet?
But judging from the two peerless princesses, this mother should look absolutely fine.
Just as everyone was waiting with their breath, some dark shadow seemed to have been smashed down on the high roof.
With a loud "bang!", a body fell from the high-rise of Lishui Pavilion to the ground and hit the throne directly.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the empty throne red.
This sudden change scared the two princesses to stand up and retreat from the throne around the throne, and both looked at the throne with unsure.
At this time, I saw a corpse sitting upright on the throne.
Everyone widened their eyes because the body of the corpse was wearing a royal robe that was like a fake one!
Chapter completed!
