Originally, he had to wait until the emperor and Prince Nangong arrived at the table before serving the food, but Feng Qingcang had a special status and never stuck to the rituals, so he ordered the little palace maid to bring the food and fragrant wine to his table in advance.
When Xin Mo'er saw that there was something to eat, her eyes began to shine. She picked up the chopsticks and headed towards the meat dish that could not be named.
Since Feng Qingcang took his seat, hundreds of eyes fell on him.
Some worship, some admire, and some fascinated.
Feng Qingcang never looked at the women from beginning to end, and kept lowering his head to pick up food for Xin Moer.
When the girls saw that they were worshipped as gods on weekdays, they were only concerned about working for his little princess, and they felt a little delicious.
"The emperor is here! The prince of Nangong is here!" The eunuch's sharp and translucent voice rang throughout the venue. The noisy crowd suddenly calmed down, and his eyes swept towards Fengsong who had just taken the seat, and Nangong Yun, the first seat of the left leader.
The ministers quickly stood up and saluted, Feng Song waved his hand, and the ministers and officials and daughters sat back on their seats again.
However, Feng Qingcang did not raise his eyelids, let alone stand up and salute. Xin Mo'er was shining by him, so he was spared all these. He lowered his head and ate no sign of eating.
Some ministers and unmarried daughters shook their heads when they saw that she was not as good as eating.
Hua Fei's eyes also turned around Xin Mo'er, but she showed no emotion, and a gentle and generous smile on her face.
Feng Song glanced at Xin Mo'er, and saw that there was still food residue on her mouth, so he shook his head helplessly. He turned his gaze and said to Nangong Yun with a hearty voice, "Captain Nangong is a distinguished guest of our Nanzhao Kingdom. It has been so long since we came to Nanzhao. This is the first time we have entered the palace. Is it still a habit to eat, clothing, housing and transportation?"
The daughters of the daughters took their eyes off Feng Qingcang and looked at Nangong Yun. They saw his beautiful amber blue eyes, shiny in the sun. The straight nose bridge, the thin and thick red lips, and the soft facial lines were like the gift from God.
They didn't expect that Nangong Yun was so handsome that he was equal to Feng Qingcang, the most handsome man in Nan Zhao Kingdom, and they couldn't help but become obsessed with him.
"Yes." Nangong Yun clicked lightly, glanced at Xin Mo'er who was eating happily, and said in a quiet voice, "This palace is mainly to find someone this time."
"Oh?" Feng Song glanced at Xin Mo'er unknowingly, his face full of intriguing, "I wonder if Prince Nangong is looking for a princess?"
Nangong Yun nodded again and replied slowly, "So you can say that."
The fourth mat in the right row was about fifteen years old, dressed in a bright clothes and a phoenix hairpin on his head. He had his eyes on Nangong Yun when he came in, and had never taken it away. He had the momentum and confidence in his eyes.
Soon, the wine and food of each meal came up one by one, and a group of dancers walked to the center of the dance floor to play with their slender postures, and famous actors sang small songs.
Some ministers all admired it with relish.
Among them, Xin Mo'er was the most active one. She held the food in one hand, held the wine pot in the other hand, listened to the songs in her ears, and watched the dance with her eyes, which was very comfortable.
No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, and this life is indeed comfortable.
"Emperor, since Prince Nangong is here to find the princess, of course, not only is it beautiful, but also requires both virtue and talent, right?" Concubine Hua, who had not spoken, looked at the girl in bright clothes at the seat and kindly proposed.
"What does Concubine Hua mean?" Feng Song also felt that her words made a lot of sense, but when she thought of Xin Mo'er's revelation of finding a wife that spread throughout the capital, her mind felt a little ache. Is she a person with both virtue and ability?
Her eyes followed Hua Fei to the fourth seat in the right, and she instantly understood Hua Fei’s intention. She wanted Feng Xiangkui to be Nangong Yun’s crown princess...
Well, let the daughters and princesses perform their talents, and he has to watch the dancers and famous singers in the middle of the dance floor every day, but the talents of the unmarried daughters are not visible at all times, and he is also very interested in watching them.
Seeing that he had signs of agreeing, Hua Fei was happy and whispered to her ears, "Don't you beware that those unmarried princesses and ministers compete for the master's talent for the princesses to understand and choose. The emperor has several princesses at his knees, each with both virtue and talent. I believe that not many people can beat them. Isn't marriage between the princess of Nanzhao and the princess of Qidong Kingdom a good thing?"
"That's great." Feng Song nodded in agreement, then raised his eyes and looked at an old eunuch Cao Xi beside him.
Cao Xi has been by his side for more than 20 years and knows his joyful nature, which is the most popular among him.
And close to him, all the words Hua Fei and Feng Song said fell into his ears, and immediately spoke out loudly to remove the dance girl in the middle of the dance floor, and condemned the famous actor, saying loudly, "To show fairness, all women who are not married can go on stage to perform, and choose their own piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Those who perform well can serve as the candidate princess of the Nangong prince."
Then he turned his head to Nangong Yun and bowed, "I wonder what Prince Nangong thought?"
Nangong Yun frowned slightly. He was not here to watch others do something about writing. He was about to make a sound, but Xin Mo'er's tiny and excited voice came from there, "Father, isn't it very lively then!"
Feng Qingcang chuckled lightly, he knew that she liked to watch popular things the most. He took out a square parcel from his arms, removed the residue from her mouth, and answered two words calmly, "Of course."
Nangong Yun shook his head with a smile. When Feng Song and Hua Fei thought he was rejecting this move, he changed his mind and suddenly replied, "This is great."
Cao Xi immediately organized the participating women to stand in a row and line up.
Then, all the appearance and figure that were not outstanding were swept away.
After a while, the long team that was too late to see the bottom was shorter, with only about a few dozen people remaining.
Those who were swept down were crying and resentful, and they refused to leave, and there was no trace of the lady-in-law in the family.
When the ministers saw that their daughter was swept away, they were not willing to refute, but they did not dare to speak out and could only swallow their anger.
Cao Xi impatiently coaxed all the women who were reluctant to leave out of the palace.
At the banquet, the performance began.
Poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and all kinds of performances are available.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and watched the beauties trying hard to display their talents on the stage.
Let’s not talk about anything else. First of all, the remaining women are all considered to be the number ones in Nan Zhao Kingdom. Just looking at them is enough to satisfy your eyes.
