Queen's Banquet
We have officially become husband and wife. However, how can we be an ordinary couple, standing at the highest pinnacle of fashion, and how can the emperor and empress be as happy as ordinary people. We both carry the responsibility of the country. From now on, I will rely on you for the rest of my life.
Him. But will I be happy around him?
After a few quiet days, the emperor hosted a banquet for all civil and military officials to celebrate.
At the dinner, I sat next to the emperor to accompany the wine. For a while, we drank and drank, the flowers were red and the willows were green. The dancing girl's light steps, her oriole-like singing voice and her elegant silk and bamboo.
The mellow aroma of fine wine lingered in the air, creating a scene of prosperity and high spirits. The prosperity of the empire was achieved through the struggle of many generations of emperors. However, he was born a nobleman, and it took almost no effort to acquire this great land.
The emperor's strong arms kept hugging my waist, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. Everyone kept watching the singing and dancing. This is a courtesy of the public will.
Those dancers are very coquettish and their dances are very cliché. I really don’t know why everyone likes to watch this kind of dance. The ministers all have peach blossom eyes.
I stared straight at the royal dancers, all of whom were gorgeous and charming. I was not used to it. I listened to the duplicitous praise from the ministers.
Seeing them pretending to be serious and flattering them. Those with discerning eyes heard that the words were lies, and everyone smiled brightly without knowing it.
I smiled lightly, this is the imperial court. The imperial court is full of hypocrisy. I feel very repulsed by all of it. I hate this place. I feel that this place is full of filth and filth. It is not a place where I should stay at all.
However, I am just a woman, a woman with the power to bind a chicken. What can I change? Do I have the ability? Do I have the skills?
The ministers clamored and asked us to play together. The emperor took advantage of the wine and happily agreed. When he played again, he had no sense of distance from the ministers. He was approachable and approachable without the airs of an emperor.
The maids brought the piano.
I gently placed it on the wine rack. I sat next to the emperor and gently plucked the strings. The elegant wind of the piano did not make any noise.
It seems that everything in the environment is only tranquility. Only music can quiet my heart at this moment. Let music wash away my soul and give me a destination in my heart.
I sat in front of the guzheng. The thirteen-stringed green Qi Qin. My ten fingers gently rested on it. My nails lightly scratched. It was as clear as running water. It broke the original fragrance and became clear.
The same is true for him. If he is not my husband, he must be my best friend. He is my only artistic confidant. He looks back at me from time to time. I give him a polite smile.
After the song ended, all the officials bowed one after another: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. The emperor has good vision. The new queen has both political integrity and talent, and is the best choice for a mother in the world."
I stood up slowly, bowed slowly again, and smiled. There is no real boundary between truth and lies. If everyone agrees, it is true. Otherwise, where did the three men become tigers come from?
"Thank you all for the award."
"The queen doesn't have to be too modest." The emperor looked at me and seemed very happy. His queen had been praised by his courtiers, and he was even happier than he had been praised. I looked at him, but I had an expression on my face. I didn't seem to know what to do when facing him.
How could I laugh? When the music stopped, I no longer felt sympathy for him as a close friend.
