Battle of the Queen

Facts have proved that Xiyu's ability to work is really not covered. If Mingyi really didn't worry a little bit, she was fully prepared just by relying on Mingyi's two days of cultivation. When Mingyi fully recovered, Xiyu Just come and inform her that the dinner is arranged tonight, and my lord is ready to attend.

This was the first time since Mingyi was injured that he faced so many people, and they were all promising ministers with meritorious service. Most importantly, they were all women!

Huh, Ming Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking about it, it's good to be all women, women in such a social environment should be gentle and gentle.

In the evening, Mingyi ate some food first, because it is said that drinking is required at the dinner party. In her previous life, she didn't drink very much and rarely drank. I'm not in good health, and I can't let everyone drink down there while you bury your head in the top and eat too much.

It happened that Xiyu came to report the matter, Mingyi asked Tsing Yi to serve her a bowl, Xiyu thanked her, and sat down to eat in silence, it happened that Mingyi didn't know what to say, so the two finished their meal quietly, and the maids cleaned up. table, the two went to sit in the pavilion outside.

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. The sun never sets and the heat never recedes. The sky is not yet dark. Ming Yi holds a round fan in his hand and fanes it absently. The two of them sit quietly for a while. Yu said: "It must be that the officials have arrived, and the dinner can begin."

Mingyi nodded, and Xiyu said again: "I'm afraid it will be late at night and the dew will be heavy. My lord might as well go back to my room and put on some clothes. I will go ahead and entertain my lord. It doesn't matter if my lord arrives later."

It happened that Tsing Yi came out to help Ming Yi go back to the room to change clothes, so Ming Yi followed her into the room.

For a small country like Xiliang, a banquet of this size is equivalent to a state banquet. All the ministers came, and the court ladies naturally did not dare to neglect. A group of people served Ming Yi in an orderly manner to change her clothes and put on her makeup.

Tsing Yi in the room had already prepared the clothes for the evening banquet. The bright yellow toga with long sleeves was very formal and luxurious, and it was a little hot to wear, but Ming Yi endured it when she thought of attending such a formal occasion.

The makeup is also very grand, all the hair is pulled up, a dignified bun is made, and the phoenix hairpin is inserted, and the tassels on it hang down between the eyebrows.

In her previous life, Ming Yi had straight bangs, but here the queen has no bangs. Her hair is all combed up. At first, she was not used to it, but gradually it became natural. Now, with something hanging down, she felt a little uncomfortable at first. Ming Yi meditated on the overall situation, and suppressed her obsessive-compulsive thoughts.

Everything was ready, Mingyi led a group of people to the banquet in a mighty manner. Since guests were to be entertained, it was natural to have a spacious and good environment. The place Xiyu chose was Linyuxuan, which is similar to the imperial garden of the imperial palace. The place, when Ming Yi went to see it, was indeed very good. It was a promenade pavilion built near the lake, and beside it was a spacious garden. The ministers sat in the garden, and there were singing and dancing performances in the middle. Only Ming Yi was placed in the In the pavilion, not too far away, fully considering Ming Yi's unusual status.

The female officer who opened the way in front announced loudly: "My lord has arrived——"

The ministers and singers at the seats hurriedly stopped what they were doing, bowed their heads respectfully and stood up, and when Mingyi walked along the corridor to the seat, everyone knelt down and praised, shouting "See my lord" and "My lord Wan'an" After waiting, Mingyi waved his hands and said in a low voice, "You don't need to be polite, you all get up."

After everyone thanked them, they stood up with a huff and went back to their places. Mingyi was a little nervous, her hands were slightly sweaty, and she swallowed, because she didn't know who the envoys were, so she had no choice but to Picking up the wine glass, "Since the founding of our country in Xiliang, the country has been prosperous and the people are peaceful, the weather is good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and we are in harmony with our neighbors. God has blessed our country! I have heard for a long time that the Tang Dynasty is strong and our dynasty intends to form a state, so I sent envoys this spring , For my visit to the Tang Dynasty, the journey was difficult and dangerous, and I finally achieved success. Although we are all women, we have the demeanor that is not inferior to men. All my loves, raise your glasses with me, and congratulate the envoy on his return!"

Sure enough, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate them with dignity, and Mingyi said again: "You all have served my dynasty loyally and made great contributions, but I have never personally welcomed the envoy back. I am ashamed. I will punish myself with a drink." Dried up the wine in the glass.

A few handsome women came down from their seats. Ming Yi thought that they were probably those who were sent on missions. As expected, they looked capable and upright, with the spirit of a man. They saluted Ming Yi respectfully, and one of them said: : "My lord, the lord's dragon body is sick, and the ministers can't find medicines and prescriptions for the lord, so they can only do their best to serve the country outside."

Mingyi smiled and said: "Aiqing is serious. You have traveled a long journey and traveled thousands of miles. You are the great heroes of our court. I will reward you to show your meritorious service. I have heard that the Tang Dynasty is strong and the people are happy. Aiqing may as well help us Tell me what you have seen and heard along the way, so that the officials can also see and see."

The woman who spoke blushed a little from the praise, but seeing that the people around her were looking at them with admiration, she was probably a little proud, so she said generously, "The Tang Dynasty is in the east of our country, we have traveled all the way...... ", her voice was clear and clear, and she spoke with joy, and when she said something, the officials laughed, and the atmosphere of the scene was mobilized. Everyone was a woman and seeing Ming Yi's kindness, so she lost her restraint, laughed, and even Some came up to toast with cups.

Ming Yi was infected by such an atmosphere, she was happy in her heart, she didn't refuse anyone who came to offer a toast, and drank it happily. After a few people came down, Ming Yi became a little bit drunk, and Xi Yu sat in the first seat next to her. Seeing her happy at the beginning, thinking that she has been ill for a while and never let go of having fun, so she stopped trying to persuade her and let her have fun, but after a few glasses of wine, seeing her blushing cheeks and slow movements, Xiyu knew she couldn't hold on anymore, Then he stepped forward to block the ministers who were toasting, and said: "My lord is just recovering from a serious illness, and it is not appropriate to drink too much alcohol. The ministers accept it, so let's forget about this wine."

The ministers all respected her on weekdays, and they all heard what Xiyu said, so they all went to play around with each other.At this moment, Mingyi was a little dazed, her head was not quite able to react, and she was a little strange when she saw all the people around her leave. She tilted her head and wondered for a long time, Xiyu asked the maid to bring a bowl of hangover soup, and took it again. The cloak in Tsing Yi's hand was draped over her body. At this time, the willows were on the moon and the wind was blowing. Xiyu was afraid that she would catch a cold.

When Mingyi was wearing the belt, she kept moving back and forth dishonestly, so Xiyu had to fight with both hands. Mingyi pressed her chin down to resist Xiyu's hand. She smirked at Xiyu a few times, but Xiyu couldn't laugh or cry, so she coaxed in a low voice: "Release, okay? I'll tie the belt for you."

Mingyi really leaned against her hand and tilted her head to think about it, just when Xiyu thought she was going to let go, Mingyi muttered: "itch~", and then pressed her chin even tighter.

Xiyu had no choice but to forcefully raise her chin with her hands. In order to prevent her from being mischievous again, Xiyu also pinched her face hard for warning. Anyway, she would not remember tomorrow when she was drunk.

Sure enough, Ming Yi was distracted by the pain on her face, and went away wrinkled and rubbed her face. Xi Yu took the opportunity to fasten her cloak belt, and several court ladies stood aside respectfully with their heads bowed. Xi Yu wanted to send her back in person. But it's not good if there is no one to take care of her here, so she ordered Tsing Yi and Zi Yi to wait for a few maids to take her back, and arranged four or five guards to follow her.

The singing and dancing outside was peaceful and lively, Xiyu helped Mingyi out of the pavilion, Xiyu said to the ministers: "My lord is too strong to drink, I'm afraid it's not enough for you to have a good time, you don't have to restrain yourself, just have fun."

Ming Yi drank a few sips of hangover soup, and was sobered up by the wind blowing outside. Everyone wanted to kneel down and send her off, but was interrupted by her waving and murmured inarticulately: "Don't be too polite, don't be too much... …”

Xiyu handed her over to Tsing Yi and explained a few more words. After a few maids and guards helped Ming Yi go away, she sat down again and drank with the ministers for fun.

Mingyi was supported all the way, just after drinking the hangover soup, the wind blew away a lot of the alcohol, and the group walked to the carp viewing pavilion by Huafuliu. Holding her hand, before everyone could react, he ran to the side of the road and held a small tree to spit it out, so frightened that Tsing Yi hurriedly asked someone to fetch water and patted Ming Yi on the back.

Mingyi vomited for a while before feeling better, the guards with water rushed over, Mingyi drank saliva and rinsed her mouth, Tsing Yi handed her a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

After throwing up, she got much better, so when Tsing Yi called Chuan Yuxuan, Ming Yi refused, "There's no need to pass it on, it's better to go back and get some air."

Two guards opened the way ahead with lanterns, and after walking a short distance, they saw the plaque of the carp watching pavilion. Under the pavilion is a pool of running water. There must be carp under it, so it got such a name.

At this moment, the moonlight is so beautiful, big and round, and the moonlight shines down brightly, no one speaks, only the sound of the orchestra in the distance floats indistinctly, Mingyi said: "The scenery here is nice, let's sit for a while."

"Yes." Tsing Yi took out the candles of the lanterns in her hand, and was about to light the lanterns hanging at the four corners of the pavilion. Mingyi stopped her, "No need to light them, just extinguish a few of the lanterns in your hands. It’s the best viewing without lights.”

So the maids put out all the lanterns, leaving only the light in the hands of the two maids, Ming Yi told them to wait outside the pavilion.

Now there was only moonlight left in the pavilion, Ming Yi sat quietly for a while, and suddenly asked: "What day is today?"

Tsing Yi said: "My lord, yesterday was fifteen, today is sixteen."

"No wonder," Ming Yi nodded, "It is said that the moon is sixteen on the fifteenth day, and what I saw today is indeed so."

The moon is getting higher and higher, Mingyi would like to have wine, in such an environment, it would be a pity not to drink alone next month, but judging from the queen's physical condition, it is better to drink less, but It's such a beautiful day to live up to.

In such a less polluted environment in ancient times, even the moonlight seemed to be much brighter and cleaner than in modern times. Thinking of modern times, Ming Yi couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although her parents died young and was alone in her previous life, the house she bought with the money was still there. The few friends are also there. In this completely strange ancient time, they are truly unaccompanied and helpless. Although this body is a queen, if one day it is discovered that she is a counterfeit, she will not Know what will happen.....

Thinking about it this way, Ming Yi felt that she really only had Gu Ying to feel sorry for herself, and subconsciously read out the sentence: "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and Ying will be three people." After reading, she secretly scolded herself for being hypocritical, and quickly reminded her I'd better keep my eyes on the present and not be discovered. Now the grand master seems to have discovered nothing at all, but who can guarantee what will happen in the future, I have to think of a perfect plan.

Being able to figure it out like this, Ming Yi felt a little better in her heart, got up and tidied her clothes, and said to the waiting Tsing Yi and Zi Yi, "Let's go back."

Seeing her sitting there, the two of them had been surprised for a long time and her expression changed from happy to sad, but they didn't dare to ask. Seeing that she was about to leave, they hurried up to support her and sent her back to the residence.

Ming Yi drank too much wine today, coupled with the wind blowing, she developed a fever after returning home, Qing Yi and the others were used to her frequent illnesses, so a well-trained doctor called the imperial physician, and the decoction was given out. After sweating all over, Ming Yi fell into a drowsy sleep.

After Ziyi waited for her to fall asleep, she waited outside for a while, while Tsing Yi was not paying attention, she went downstairs quietly, found her room and closed the door, wrote a small note by the window by the moonlight, and came to the pigeon house in the dark , rolled up the note and tied it to the pigeon's leg, and watched the pigeon fly away before she quietly returned to Mingyi's small building.

...............

As soon as Xiyu returned home after the dinner, he opened the study door and saw the pigeon standing on his table. He took off the paper roll on his lap and let the pigeon out. After reading the note, Xiyu's expression remained the same and he pondered After a while, he put down the note and left, the window of the study was not closed, the wind blew the candles flickering, the note on the table was blown upside down, and the words "Two shadows form three people" flashed faintly ……..
