Chapter two hundred and thirty second sword(1/2)
Three days later, Emperor Wenxuan held a banquet at Tianxingtai.
The Star Platform is located on the high platform in front of the palace, and further ahead is the ritual platform for sacrifice. The utuan envoy Maninbu came to Beijing, and His Majesty agreed to the utuan's compensation for peace, which was on the surface to demonstrate the magnanimity of the Great Wei monarch, but in fact it was also to promote the prestige of his own country.
This is the first time in his past and present life that He Yan has participated in such an occasion. Early in the morning, she changed into the official uniform, with red-bottomed flowers and a black belt in the middle. She is not as tall as a man, and she is a little more abundant in the official uniform, but because she is tall, she is actually a little elegant when wearing it.
Now everyone in the court knows that she is a woman and her makeup doesn't have to turn into a man. Qingmei only drew her eyebrows lightly and put a layer of thin powder on her lips. Her lips were pink and tender, and she did not use saliva. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head, which was very neat.
He Yan looked at the woman in the mirror, and was handsome and beautiful. She was neither dressed as a man nor was she too delicate. This outfit looked the most pleasing time she had ever seen since she was reborn.
He Yan grabbed the tea on the table and took a sip, and said, "It's almost time, I'll go out first."
Qingmei asked: "Miss, do you really want me to accompany you?"
"I'm not going to the banquet, what are you doing?" He Yan laughed, "You just wait for me to come back in the mansion."
She went out and got on the carriage herself.
Xiao Jue did not come to pick him up today. Although the two of them will get married soon, before they get married, He Yan was still Marquis of Wu'an before Xiao Jue's fiancee. You should clearly distinguish between public and private affairs. You should not be too casual in this kind of occasion today.
There were no servants around her, and there were very few people who went to Tianxingtai alone like her. The carriage was agreed yesterday. When he arrived near Tianxingtai, He Yan got off the carriage and walked alone towards Tianxingtai.
Some officials had arrived first. Some people knew each other and greeted each other. He Yan knew not many people. He was standing, and suddenly someone's excited voice came: "Sister He!"
He Yan was stunned, turned around and saw Lin Shuanghe running over.
He is also dressed up in Zhou Zheng today. If he didn't speak, he looked like a young and middle-aged man in the court. He Yanqi said, "Why are Brother Lin here too? It's not that only officials can be here..."
"My grandfather and my father are here," Lin Shuanghe said disapprovingly: "The Empress Dowager likes me, so let me join in the fun too."
I understood, Mr. Lin came in through the back door again.
Lin Shuanghe looked He Yan up and down, his eyes lit up: "Sister He, this is the first time I have seen you wearing official uniforms. It looks good! We Huai Jin is so lucky to find such a beautiful lady."
This man always says he will say whatever he wants, regardless of whether he can accept it or not. He Yan interrupted his flattery: "I haven't seen Brother Lin for many days. What are Brother Lin busy with?"
"Stop talking," Lin Shuanghe said bitterly: "I have only been away from Shuojing for a year or two. The girl who came to Shuojing to find me has accumulated a lot of illnesses. Since I came back, I have been diagnosed with illness every day. Didn't Sister He find that I'm tired and thin?"
Seeing his energetic appearance, He Yan said, "This is not. If you don't want to see a doctor, just stay away from him. Why force yourself like this?"
"It's all women," Lin Shuanghe said seriously: "A gentleman should be merciful to the fragrance and jade."
He Yan was speechless for a while before saying, "So that's how it is. Brother Lin is so busy that he will completely forget about helping me find a house."
Lin Shuanghe was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered the fact that he had been left behind. He looked at He Yan strangely, "But aren't you and Huai Jin going to get married on the 10th of the New Year? What should you do if you buy a house?"
"It's not me to live." He Yan had no choice but to change his house with his father and Yun Sheng." He used to be poor and had no choice but to have a serious official position. The money Xiao Jue gave her last time was enough to build a new house in the capital. Although it was not as luxurious as the wealthy family, it was much better than the current one. He Yan had decided to think it was borrowing Xiao Jue, and he would return it to him after the salary was paid a year later.
"It turns out to be for my uncle and younger brother," Lin Shuanghe breathed a sigh of relief and patted He Yan on the shoulder, "Don't worry, leave this matter to Wei brother, and I guarantee that you can do it for you!"
He Yan: "Isn't it easy to talk about busy affairs now? Do you care about this matter?"
"Well, are you free? I still have some squeezes."
"You did not seek it for me on purpose."
"Sister He, how can you think of me like that?"
While talking and laughing, Lin Shuanghe suddenly waved behind He Yan, "Huai Jin!"
He Yan looked back and saw Xiao Jue and Xiao Jing coming from the other end.
The two brothers were outstanding in appearance and walked among the young officials, as if they stood out among the crowd. When they approached, He Yan saluted Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing smiled and said, "This is the first time I have come to Tianxingtai with a female official. Miss He is heroic and heroic, and men are as good as men."
He Yan was polite, Lin Shuanghe touched his chin, looked at He Yan and Xiao Jue for a while, and said, "I have to say, you two look really a perfect match."
He Yan looked at Xiao Jue. He was also wearing official uniforms today. It was a coincidence that the flowers embroidered on the dark blue official uniforms just met the flowers on her official uniforms. There was also a belt around her waist, which made her look very heroic and noble, and beautiful.
"Sister He," Lin Shuanghe said: "You said, you can go to court with Huai Jin in the future. It's really convenient. Looking at the entire Wei Dynasty, it's the first time you two couples."
"Miss He has not yet passed the door," Xiao Jing said softly: "Mr. Lin is cautious in his words. When others hear it, it will damage Miss He's reputation."
He Yan looked up at Xiao Jing in front of him. People all said that Mr. Xiao was a gentleman who was gentle and polite. Now he had seen it and had to care about such small things. However, it was not pedantic to say it, but he felt that he was considerate. No wonder Song Taotao wanted to be Xiao Jue's sister-in-law before this. After all, it was difficult to find someone like Xiao Jing who was lanterned by the Wei Dynasty.
Just as he was about to be in a daze, a person appeared in front of him, blocking her gaze at Xiao Jing without showing any expression. He Yan looked up and faced Xiao Jue's eyes, as if he was a little unhappy.
He was still protecting his elder brother, and He Yan thought, afraid that he would have the idea of Xiao Jing too?
At this time, someone in front of him called Lin Shuanghe's name, probably Lin Shuanghe's friend, and Lin Shuanghe followed the sound. Xiao Jing also walked forward a few steps and started talking to his colleagues.
He Yan finally got to stay with Xiao Jue and stayed there. She leaned over to Xiao Jue, spread her sleeves and asked, "How is it? This is the new official uniform. This is the first time I wear it today. Isn't it very romantic and murderous?"
The sun shone on the girl's face, as if she could make her fine eyelashes clear, her eyes were bright and energetic, and her smile was a bit pure youthful spirit. However, the red official uniform made her feel a little more heroic, which was completely different from all women.
There are thousands of women in the world, but she is the only one who is unique.
Xiao Jue turned sideways and looked away.
Seeing him like this, He Yan withdrew his sleeves and got closer: "Isn't it?"
"I didn't see murderous intent," Xiao Jue couldn't resist her entanglement, looked down at her, a smile flashed in his eyes, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, deliberately angering her, "I couldn't help but feel stupid."
He Yan gritted his teeth: "You are so good people, why can't you even say something good?" She turned around and pretended to leave. She turned around and ran into someone, almost hitting her arms.
After standing still, Chu Zhao stood in front of her and looked at her: "Miss He."
“………Second Young Master Chu.”
Xiao Jue pulled He Yan back to his side. Chu Zhao first glanced at Xiao Jue, and then his eyes fell on He Yan, with a familiar gentle smile. "I already know Miss He's happy event, I congratulate you in advance on your wedding."
"Each of each other." He Yan smiled and said, "I wish the fourth young master and Miss Xu to get married."
When Chu Zhao heard this, his eyes trembled slightly, as if he was a little sad, but he still bowed to He Yan and then walked forward.
He Yan looked at his back and felt particularly desolate. He couldn't help but say to Xiao Jue beside him: "Xiao Jue, do you think the Fourth Master Chu is actually quite pitiful."
Xiao Jue said coldly: "I don't think so."
"How could it be? I think he..." He Yan whispered: "Maybe he doesn't like that Miss Xu very much. People's eyes cannot deceive people. His eyes are very wrong. When it comes to the marriage, he doesn't have any joy, and he seems to be very sad."
"You're looking very carefully."
"After all, I've been blind once before, so I have to look at people carefully now... Unfortunately, the imperial edict has been issued, so he can only do this. Do you think he is... Alas?" He Yan looked back and saw that Xiao Jue had already walked a long way forward. She hurriedly caught up with him: "Xiao Jue, wait for me!"
After a while.
"Xiao Jue, are you angry?"
"No."
...
All officials stood in the square on the Star Platform.
He Yan's official position cannot be with Xiao Jue, but the group of people she is probably thinking that she is Xiao Jue's fiancée who is about to pass by, and he dare not do anything to her. Because she is small and afraid of not seeing the scene on the high platform, she deliberately left the first row to He Yan.
He Yan stood in front, looking at the emperor on the stage.
On the high seat, Emperor Wenxuan looked at the officials below with a smile.
The officials were dressed in official uniforms and stood neatly. Just from the outside, they looked quite handsome. I heard that the Utou Kingdom had a few plains, and the palaces were less than half as big as the palaces of the Great Wei. I thought that whenever the sacrificial ceremony was held, the scene was very shabby.
He was old and although he had made no achievements in politics, he also hoped to leave one or two things worthy of praise. Unfortunately, over the years, there has not been one. In ancient times, emperors were either famous in history or had been famous for thousands of years. He should not think about it. He had been infamous for thousands of years, and Emperor Wenxuan did not have the courage to face the spit of future generations. Therefore, since he ascended the throne, he had never done anything like building a large-scale construction or setting up a Buddhist temple. Only like a banquet on the Star Platform today, he had regained some pride of being an emperor.
Several princes sat on one side. The fifth prince Guangji was still young and wanted to catch the beautiful pastries, but was stopped by Guangshuo. Guangshuo whispered: "Fifth brother, sit down, you represent the face of the Great Wei."
Guangji flattened his mouth, but he was also well-behaved and did not dare to get the snack anymore.
Guangyan glanced at the two of them, his eyes full of contempt. Since Emperor Wenxuan held a banquet on the Star Platform, he expressed his sincerity to accept the Utuan country's peace. He did not rush to open a court case and would slowly come to it in the future. As long as he could get the help of the Utuan, Xiao Huaijin would be eradicated. Sooner or later, the fourth prince and Concubine Lan would be his prisoner.
He was so impatient to get into that position.
The Utu envoy Maninbu stepped forward and knelt down in front of Emperor Wenxuan to give a big gift. A bunch of compliments appeared in his mouth, which was probably to praise the emperor's benevolence and broad mind. He was shocked by the prosperity and prosperity of the Great Wei. In the future, the Utu country was willing to make friends with the Great Wei, and even respected the Great Wei.
The straightforward Emperor Wenxuan was very happy.
Among the officials in the audience, some were as proud as the crown prince, and some were as proud as Wei Xuanzhang, who wrote righteous indignation on their faces. More were the forbearance of being angry but not speaking. People said that the current Wei court no longer had the surname Song, but Xu. That's fine, what happened to let foreign tribes come to Tianxingtai openly? When did the Wei Dynasty start to reach such a field now?
Among the generals, He Rufei stood in front with a relaxed expression. He looked at the Utuan, without hatred. On the contrary, Yan He, who was behind, had anger in his eyes, and his hands had already clenched into fists. He thought that if it weren't for the Tianxingtai and the emperor was also there, he might have rushed up to beat Maninbu up.
Xiao Jue stood beside him, and Yan He couldn't help but whisper: "What the hell is this little dwarf saying? Who are you lying to? Utuoguo hopes to make friends with the Great Wei? I will go to Utuoguo first to kill 10,000 people, and then Dawei is willing to make friends with Utuoguo. Will their king believe it?"
Seeing that Xiao Jue did not answer, Yan He became even more angry and turned his head and said sarcastically: "Aren't you General Feng Yun? Are you just watching Utou people play wildly on the Tianxing Platform?"
Xiao Jue said calmly: "Aren't you the General of Guide? You want to teach them a lesson, why don't you go to the table by yourself?"
Yan He was speechless, and snorted, stopping talking.
On the other end, Emperor Wenxuan accepted the flattery and gifts of the Utu envoy. Maninbu said: "The warriors of the Utu country are best at wrestling. They perform wrestling competitions for the king at the ceremony and celebration every day. Today they are willing to perform their skills for His Majesty."
Yan He said: "Take a fuss."
In fact, Emperor Wenxuan himself did not like these things that were about swords and guns. After he ascended the throne, he also emphasized literature over military affairs in the court. However, it was proposed by the ukulele envoy himself, and it could not be rejected to show the temperament and mind of the Great Wei Dynasty. Therefore, he waved his hand lightly and said, "Yun."
Maninbu turned around and walked out of the Utou messengers. These two men looked different from the Utou people's short figure and looked particularly tall and strong. His hair was tied into thin braids behind his head.
Manin preached: "Your Majesty, these are the two best warriors in Uto's country, Nadado and Hu Yunmu, are willing to show their ugliness to His Majesty."
The two uoters walked to the open space in the center of the square, took off their outer clothes, and the weather was cold and cold. They were bare-shirting, shouting twice, then hugged each other and fell.
He Yan stood among the officials and heard the officials behind him whispering: "It's really a barbarian land. The way he hugged each other is really indecent, very indecent."
He Yan didn't feel indecent, he just felt that the fall was actually fighting for skill and not brute force. Others only saw them holding each other and trying to fall down, but in fact, they were not. They were tripping, backs, mentality and speed, all things that needed to be paid attention to. These two ukuleles should not be underestimated.
It took a long time to decide the winner. The officials of the Great Wei Dynasty and the Emperor were actually bored because the game was not exciting enough. After the competition, they had to praise it against their conscience.
