At the beginning of the celebration, the royal nobles at the banquet started talking in low voices. They had long heard that the Holy Emperor had entrusted the celebration to the new wife of the barbarian general. Everyone was eagerly waiting to know how unique today's celebration would be.
Queen Zhao Shen Ran was sitting on the right side of the chair, overlooking the entire Neihu banquet, with a cold smile on her lips. At present, the Holy Lord was extremely fond of General Mo Yu and his wife. If she took action against Shen Qingluo, the Holy Lord would definitely
dissatisfied with her.
According to Xue Yixuan's wishes, Shen Qingluo was asked to organize the Winter Solstice celebration because she knew they had a common enemy. Although she didn't know what she planned to do, with Xue Yixuan's always cruel and ruthless approach, she would definitely not be disappointed.
It was she who borrowed the knife to kill someone.
Beside her, Zhao Suxue stared angrily at General Mo Yu and Shen Qingluo on their seats. Just now in the imperial garden, she took the initiative to talk to General Mo Yu. Unexpectedly, he not only ignored her completely, but also made her very embarrassed.
, Damn Shen Qingluo, what kind of charming skills did she use to make General Mo Yu so fascinated!
"When will this show start?" Fu Yingxuan looked around at the main seat and asked Qingluo on the table. Although it was a bit novel to prepare the celebration next to the inner lake in the Imperial Garden, but now it seems
His appearance seems to be no different from before. Could it be that he has made a mistake?
Shen Qing withdrew the general's hand that had been holding tightly, and was about to stand up and reply when he heard the empress dowager beside the old emperor glance at her with disdain, and said in a high-spirited voice: "Your Majesty, Yi Ai's family sees that today's
There was nothing special about the celebration. The weather was very cold, and the banquet was arranged beside the inner lake. I really don’t know what the intention was, so I sent someone to fetch the Holy One’s light coat. The cold wind was blowing, so that the Holy One wouldn’t freeze.
"
Shen Qing glared at Xue Yixuan. What was this woman's intention? She was obviously the one who told the Queen Mother to stay closer to the water, but now she actually made her angry in return. It seemed that she would have to be more cautious later.
, so as not to be harmed by her again.
Xue Yixuan responded as if nothing had happened, and was about to go out to give instructions when he heard the Holy Master raise his hand and speak.
"It doesn't matter, Qingluo has already been prepared," Fu Yingxuan smiled and pointed at the table in front of him. The aroma of the sapphire white bowl was faint, and the food in the bowl was white and smooth, very tempting. "This wine
The dumplings were very delicious, and after just two bites, we felt much more comfortable and warm."
The Empress Dowager looked at it suspiciously, and then realized that she and Empress Zhao also had a bowl in front of their desk, "Jiu Niang Yuanzi? Why haven't the Ai family heard of it before? Which imperial chef made it?"
Shen Qing gave a gentle blessing and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, Qingluo made it herself." The old emperor was an old man after all, so he had to take careful care of the banquet outside in such weather.
"Oh? You made it yourself?" Fu Yingxuan couldn't hide the joy on his face when he thought about being able to eat his daughter-in-law's cooking today, "I didn't expect Qingluo's cooking to be so good."
A faint smile appeared on Xiahou Zhan's lips, and Shen Qingfu thanked him politely, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
Opposite the seat, Fu Yanche glanced at them with cold eyes and continued to drink the wine in front of the table without showing any trace.
Queen Zhao hummed and smiled, "Qing Luo was born into a poor family, so it is not strange for a commoner woman to know some cooking skills."
This petty queen must look for opportunities to ridicule her, right? Shen Qing was depressed, and heard the eunuch's voice outside the palace door, "The prince has arrived."
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment. She thought that all the guests had already arrived. Which other family's prince showed up so late? She turned around to look, but she saw Baili Yun walking in with a chic step, wearing a
He was wearing quite formal clothes and had a charming smile on his face. When he walked past her, he even gave her a secret look.
The Crown Prince? Brother Yunzhi is the Crown Prince?
Baili Yunzhi leaned forward and saluted generously, "Yun Zhi has met the Holy Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress."
Shen Qing had not yet calmed down, and looked at him with full of surprise. She had known that Yun Zhi's identity was not simple, but she never thought that he was also a member of the royal family. After all, his ordinary behavior was too Xian Yun Yehe, she was very
It’s hard to imagine that any royal family would be so leisurely and carefree.
"Get up, there's no need to be too formal today," Fu Yingxuan smiled and raised his hands, "Yun Zhi, I knew you were coming to Kyoto City early on, so why didn't you come to the palace until now?"
"I was delayed by some things in the city, but fortunately, I was able to make it in time to see the general's wife for the long-prepared celebration."
Empress Zhao took the words and said, "As the heir apparent of the clan, you can just ask others to handle anything. Why do you have to do it yourself? You don't even have time to go to the palace to meet the saint."
Shen Qing broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that during this period, she had been sending the Crown Prince to run errands... She was so proud.
"It doesn't matter, it's all done willingly." Baili Yun smiled straightforwardly, "Then, Your Majesty, I will take the seat first."
Fu Yingxuan nodded. Baili Yunzhi turned around and looked at Qingluo and the general with a smile. Then he wandered to his seat and sat down. Shen Qing thought that when the celebration was over, he must catch Yun Zhi.
Come here and interrogate her properly, otherwise she will be really upset...
At this moment, a little palace lady hurriedly came to Shen Qing's side, "General's wife, you are ready."
Shen Qing met and nodded, "Your Majesty, the program can begin."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted it twice. Then, from the originally dark and lightless inner lake, a loud drum beat was heard. Along with the drum sound, a dazzling fire suddenly lit up next to the inner lake.
Everyone at the banquet was immediately attracted by this opening. All eyes looked towards the side of the inner lake. A standing drum the size of a round table was placed beside the lake table. A eunuch in palace clothes was beating the drum with a drum stick.
He played a tune with a powerful rhythm, and when the tune gradually turned lower, another loud drum sound suddenly appeared ten meters away, and the fire followed suit.
The war drums were thundering slowly, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet had already been aroused by the sound of the drums. The appearance of each war drum was like a wonderful transition, leading to the ignition of the fire in another location. When all the twelve large drums beside the inner lake appeared,
All the drums beat in unison,
The entire inner lake arrangement appeared in front of everyone amid the extremely wonderful sound of war drums. In the burning stove next to the war drums, the firelight shining on the inner lake danced, as if it was an active dance of followers to the exciting drum beats.
Such an opening was absolutely unexpected. The mighty war drums contrasted sharply with the soft flowers and trees around them, making them look very arrogant and eye-catching. Just when everyone was looking forward to the next scene, the last loud drum beat in unison.
, all the fires were extinguished instantly!
Everyone at the banquet was shocked. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Is this the end?!
The usually calm general looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what she was doing. Baili Yun kept casting confused eyes at her, with an expression on his face that said something was wrong. Shen Qing remained calm and composed, and this was the end of the show.
