After saying goodbye to Shuangshuang, she didn't have time to put on any luxurious attire, so she hurried back to the palace and put on a begonia-colored outer dress, tied with a white silk belt, and rushed to Bailiang Terrace after tidying up casually for a while.
Today's banquet was attended by military officers and soldiers, and many of them brought their families. Ah Sheng didn't recognize those beautiful ladies, so he sat alone at the small table next to the beams and pillars, so that he could look around and watch the excitement.
Glancing over the dragon chair, Liu Xie, whom he had just seen not long ago, was sitting on the top right now. He was dressed in a dragon robe with flying gold and double embroideries on a black background, outlining his nobility, but the magnificence seemed a little thin.
Beside him was Empress Fushou, her young and beautiful face showed neither sorrow nor joy, nor any expression of joy or anger.
She just sat in her seat in a dignified manner, and didn't even talk to her father who was lowering her head. She looked completely alienated like a stranger.
"You are Mrs. Bian, right? My concubine is General Cao Hong's wife Xin." Just as Ah Sheng was looking around, a beautiful woman suddenly walked up to her and sat down beside her, with a gentle voice, which was on par with her husband Cao Hong's impatience. On the ground, while talking, he gave a shallow salute to A Sheng.
The Xin family was born in a wealthy family in Hebei, with a beautiful and intelligent temperament, and the simple yet noble peony embroidered with gold and silver on the corner of the hairpin, looks more generous and virtuous, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Hello, Mrs. Xin." A Sheng hurriedly returned the salute, and withdrew his blank stare.
"My concubine, I heard that Mrs. Xun's side wife mentioned you, saying that Mrs. Bian is a virtuous, intelligent, dignified and elegant woman. I saw you today, and you are indeed so."
Xin smiled softly, but Ah Sheng was embarrassed by the inauthentic praise, so he could only shake his head and said humbly, "Mrs.
Xin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said solemnly: "I heard that Mrs. Bian is excellent at playing the piano, and my concubine also liked playing the piano since she was a child, but she has always been dull and dull. I hope that Mrs. Bian will not think that my concubine's qualifications are naughty in the future. .”
"Where there is nothing," Ah Sheng blushed when he heard the words, and hastily waved his hands again to deny, "The concubine is only superficial, how dare she show off in front of Madam."
She was still keeping a low profile here, the noise of the hall suddenly fell silent, and there was an instant silence.
In the distance, the envoy's high-pitched shout suddenly sounded at the entrance of the main hall, and immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
"Sikong arrives—"
A Sheng's breathing stopped suddenly, and he only felt his heart beating.
She couldn't help following everyone's gaze, and saw that Cao Cao was wearing a flamboyant crimson robe inlaid with jade, the seal ribbon and saber around his waist were extremely luxurious, and the corner of his mouth smiled faintly, looking at the eyes of the officials The eyes are bright and penetrating.
A forceful aura swept over immediately, instantly making the air still, as if he was the only one left under the blazing sun, shining brightly alone.
A row of heavily armed black-clothed guards followed closely behind him, and followed him into the palace, and a strong sense of oppression rushed over his face in an instant, making people breathless.
"Meet Sikong—"
Everyone shouted in unison and knelt down unanimously. They all fell on the ground in fear and trepidation. No one dared to look up at him.
Asheng knelt down with everyone, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the emperor Liu Xie, who stood at the top, his complexion suddenly stiffened, and an indistinguishable expression flashed in his eyes, but he still kept his usual smile, and stood up wobbly .
Fu Shou also stood up respectfully immediately, the twelve golden steps on his temples rang, and he carefully held an agate plate in his hand, on which was a cup of exquisite gold cup.
Her bare hands trembled slightly, the knuckles on her wrists turned blue, her head was level with the plate, and she didn't dare to raise it a bit.
Liu Xie took the golden bottle on her plate, Fu Shou bowed and poured half a cup into it, he immediately respected it to Cao Cao, said with a smile: "Sikong, I and the queen will toast you first."
Before Cao Cao went straight to the throne, he acted as if no one else was around, and still wore the ancient Yitian sword on his waist.
The red candlelight slightly swept across the scabbard, reflecting a gorgeous and dazzling light, which directly shocked some servants who had never seen the world and others were astonished.
Since ancient times, when ministers went to the palace, they had to remove their swords and worship, but Cao Cao made such a presumptuous and bold move in front of so many people, and the overpowering crimson robe on his body made the emperor obedient, which really made these servants dumbfounded.
Have they ever seen such a powerful minister who can overwhelm the sky with one hand?
Zhang Yang overwhelmed the majesty of the emperor wantonly, and the momentum like a storm passing through the border made everyone tremble, and when they looked up casually, cold sweat dripped all over the ground.
He took the gold bottle from Liu Xie, took a sip, then put it back on the plate, and bowed slightly: "My lord, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty and the Empress. Long live your Majesty, and the Empress forever."
At this time, all the ministers below paid their respects again by coincidence, and said in unison: "Long live your majesty, long live your majesty, the queen empress will last forever, and she will be happy forever."
Fu Wan's complexion suddenly changed.
He glanced at Cao Cao uneasily, then quickly avoided, turned sideways and exchanged glances with the empress's daughter, the eyes were full of obvious fear.
Liu Xie waved his hands in a condescending manner, signaling the officials to get up from the ground, "Ai Qing is flat."
Immediately, he glanced at the servants beside him, and the little yellow men understood, holding up their whisks and shouting: "Xuan dance, play music!"
Accompanied by this announcement, the well-dressed singers and dancers filed in one after another, and bowed deeply to the ministers.
Liu Xie nodded slightly, and they began to pluck the strings together, and the soft yet solemn music resounded in the hall instantly. The fluttering gauze sleeves waved the autumn breeze, and the fragrance of pearls and emeralds lingered at the tip of the nose, like a fairy in the sky.
However, even with such a wonderful long-sleeved dance, everyone was still frightened by the might of the man in red next to the throne, trembling, and did not dare to say a word.
Seeing this, Cao Cao flicked his sleeves chicly, held a toast to the officials in the field, and a calm and powerful voice came out instantly: "Everyone, don't be so polite. I, Cao Mengde, hereby offer a toast to you! I hope you can drink to your heart's content. Enjoy the joy of Dukang."
Seeing that he was the first to drink up the wine in the glass, everyone dared to let go of their courage, stood up one after another, picked up the wine cup in their hands, and drank the wine respectfully and cautiously.
Seeing this scene, Fu Wan's face turned even greener.
All the courtiers of the Han Dynasty only respected Cao Sikong and not His Majesty, and they dared to hold a banquet only after the former gave an order, which is unreasonable.
He secretly glanced at Liu Xiehe's daughter again, only to see Fushou carefully shaking his head, putting his fingers on his lips to make a silent movement, obviously to tell his father not to act rashly.
And Liu Xie's eyes were gloomy, he couldn't see what he was thinking clearly, he just followed the ministers to serve wine and drink, like a mechanical puppet at the mercy of others, weak and stiff.
After drinking like this for two rounds, everyone dared to be a little more active, and stared at the beautiful dancing posture intently.
Sixty-year-old general Duan simmered down his stomach, and drunkenness rushed to his head. Seeing the beautiful dancers among them, he couldn't help his eyes straighten when he got hot, and praised loudly: "The dance music in this palace is really good. It's not comparable to the outside, look at these eight girls are all soft and charming. The old man remembers that when the Emperor Ling was there, there was a concubine who was very good at dancing at the waist, and the old man was lucky enough to appreciate it once. It's a pity that the old man's memory is poor now, and he really can't remember her face clearly."
At this time, there was a sudden gasp from around.
It turned out to be an old eunuch standing next to him. Hearing Duan Yan's words, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly glanced at Liu Xie. Seeing that the latter was stunned and unresponsive, he bravely walked up to Duan Yao, and offered him some wine. During the interval, he glanced at Liu Xie and whispered in his ear: "Don't talk nonsense, the old general. That is the long-dead queen mother and the mother of the current emperor. How can you mention such a secret palace here?" , wouldn't this hurt His Majesty's face in public?"
"Ah?" Duan Yan immediately slapped his forehead, and laughed embarrassingly to cover up his uneasiness. Then he picked up the wine bottle and sipped a big glass, wiping the corners of his mouth, "I thought that such a prosperous scene surrounded by singing and dancing would not Goodbye, I don't want to rely on Sikong to support His Majesty, I can still enjoy such a joyful music at this moment, I still rely on Sikong's contribution to the Han Dynasty! Sikong is really a blessing to the Han Dynasty, the grace of the community, and the blessing of the people! "
He hurriedly flattered himself with flattery, but he didn't notice that Liu Xie's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and he almost fell to the ground accidentally.
Cao Cao's eyes also had a flash of unknown meaning. He sat under Liu Xie's dragon chair, and seemed to casually glance at the unobstructed Duan Yan.
In an instant, his eyes darkened suddenly.
"The old general is drunk." He tilted his head slightly, suppressed his displeasure in his deep voice, and gently raised his hand, "Come here, help the old general back to the mansion so he can rest."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the singing and dancing stopped immediately, and the hall was suddenly quiet.
"Why did Sikong say that? The old man is clearly sober." The old man didn't know how to observe his words, but he still wanted to insist on standing up, stretching his neck and staggeringly pleading.
Cao Cao not only didn't look sullen, but raised his lips and smiled, and tapped his knuckles on the table with great interest, "The old general is drunk enough to talk nonsense, can An Neng say he's not drunk? Let's take a rest earlier, tomorrow alone So I sent troops to escort the old general to Huainan to garrison, Yuan Shu was newly defeated, and the morale of the army was not stable, so I still had to rely on a famous general like the old general to be my vassal of the Han Dynasty."
With this order, all the ministers turned pale.
Doesn't this mean that you want to put Duan simmer outside?
"I think that Duan Yao's hero, who had the meritorious service of killing Dong Zhuo and supporting the Han Dynasty, is actually going to be reduced to a mere guard in the local area." An official murmured.
"Could it be that Sikong is very jealous of what he said just now, that's why he was so angry just now."
"Your Majesty, it is Sikong who clearly stated his position. He will not overdo His Majesty's arrogance and boast of his achievements, and he will also make His Majesty trust his loyalty."
They were whispering to each other, Duan simmered and his face was swollen, his neck was bruised, and he shouted at Cao Cao unwillingly: "The old man punished Li Jue for defeating Dong Zhuo. He has made great achievements in battle. Why should Sikong let the old man take up a mere idle position?" The old man refuses to accept it! I also ask Sikong to give me a reason to convince the old man!"
"Really?" Cao Cao casually glanced at Liu Xie, who was at the top, and the latter trembled as if struck by lightning, his lips turned white with shock, "Then let His Majesty decide."
Seeing Cao Cao throwing the hot taro to himself, Liu Xie was sweating all over his back immediately, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he looked at Duan Yao hesitantly, his brows tightened in pain, and he said slowly after a long time: "Then... Old General Duan is old, and I sympathize with your outstanding achievements, so I entitle you as the Marquis of Zhenbei General Jia Anding, and I will go to the post in a few days."
He waved his hand, as if he didn't dare to look at the disappointed Duan Yao again, and signaled the surrounding warriors to take the latter down, and drank the imperial wine from the cup with his neck raised.
Only after hearing His Highness's intermittent "Your Majesty" and "Your Majesty", Duan Yan's voice gradually disappeared, Liu Xie dared to take a breath, opened the corners of his mouth and smiled at everyone: "My dear friends, don't be restrained, continue the banquet, come People, and then offer music and dance to add to the fun."
As soon as the voice fell, the crisp "Kang Dang" sound broke the silence, and a glazed cup fell to the ground and shattered.
Today's banquet was attended by military officers and soldiers, and many of them brought their families. Ah Sheng didn't recognize those beautiful ladies, so he sat alone at the small table next to the beams and pillars, so that he could look around and watch the excitement.
