Chapter 674
A Ling blinked her eyes, and the tail behind her swayed gently: "But, I listen to my master."
"Uh..." Ming Ruo rubbed his forehead. Who did this guy learn about tea words? It seemed like this was not the case before? Could the image of a fox have a negative impact on his personality?
"I..." Si Haochen was about to speak, but Mingruo quickly covered his mouth, feeling that his husband would be damaged by A Ling, how could he break it?
"I really don't have to listen to me in this kind of thing." Ming Ruo smiled slightly at Si Haochen and then "squeezed" A Ling back to the space.
When A Ling entered the space, she held the big sea bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, her face full of confusion - what did she do wrong?
"Princess, the dinner is about to begin, it's time to change clothes and make-up." Zi Su and Zi Cao came in with the basin and Xianglu.
"Just do it casually, it doesn't have to be too complicated." Mingruo changed into a palace outfit, sat in front of the dressing table, and asked Zi Su to help her tie her hair.
His Highness Prince Yun also changed into a heavy purple python robe like Ming Ruo, and waited patiently for his wife to dress up.
The banquet was placed in front of the imperial tent, and the huge open space was covered with carpets. In the middle of the south was Emperor Danxu's seat, with the queen and Concubine Qian on both sides respectively, and the seats of princes and ministers on both sides.
Prince Yun and Mingruo's seats were at the first table in the east. Since the prince did not come to Qiuhu, Prince Duanze, Princess and Prince Hong sat opposite him.
There were bonfires around the banquet venue, and the golden and red flames made the table look particularly festive.
The main dish of today's banquet was all kinds of barbecue. Ming Ruo was already full before the banquet and watched the singing and dancing performance in the center of the venue bored.
Princess Ningping was supported by a maid and came to Mingruo: "Sister-in-law Jiuhuang, can I sit next to you? I have my leg injured and can't walk."
"Okay." Mingruo asked Zi Su to bring a chair over.
Si Haochen shook the teacup in his hand, and the tea inside turned into a small vortex: "If you can't walk, you can take you to the opposite side."
"Brother Nine Emperor..." The little man in Princess Ningping's heart squatted in the corner of the wall to draw circles. I just wanted to act coquettishly with Sister Nine Emperor, why did I ruthlessly expose me?
Mingruo looked at Zi Su and put the chair down, took Princess Ning Ping's hand and sat down: "Sit down quickly, your Ninth Prince is joking with you."
"Oh." Princess Ningping completely believed that if the Ninth Emperor's Sister-in-law didn't say that, the Ninth Emperor would definitely be carried by her to her mother's side.
"Why didn't you rest in the tent?" Mingruo poured a cup of fruit dew and put it in front of Princess Ningping.
"My mother asked me to keep it in the tent, but it was so lively outside, so how could I lie there?" Princess Ningping leaned into Mingruo's ear and asked softly, "Major General Su's leg injury... doesn't matter?"
"I'm very hurt, and I'm afraid I'll become a cripple in the future..." Ming Ruo deliberately teased Princess Ningping.
"Ah..." Princess Ning Ping covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry the next moment.
"Do you still want to be my fourth cousin's wife?" Mingruo turned his head and looked at Princess Ningping.
"Of course I want it..." Princess Ningping looked at the seat of the Duke's Mansion, but she didn't see Su You. "The Major General injured his leg to save me. I will definitely be responsible for him!"
Princess Ningping said, then left the banquet and ran to the tent of the Duke's Mansion.
"Oh~ I'll tell you..." Mingruo was secretly shocked. The weak princess who had been supported by a maid before could walk away, now she ran faster than a rabbit...
After a dancer danced a "Niang Shang Feather Clothes" and dragged her gorgeous dance clothes to leave the center of the venue.
Adili got up from the seat, walked to the middle and saluted, "This time I entered the imperial capital, Xiao Wang brought an artist who could perform snake dance and wanted to perform for His Majesty."
"Accurate." Emperor Danxu nodded.
Mingruo saw a man wearing wide-leg pants and a headscarf wrapped around his head and walked to the middle of the venue. He saluted Emperor Danxu first, and then someone brought up three bamboo baskets with lids.
The man sat on the ground and opened the lids of the bamboo basket one by one. With the sound of the flute with unique characteristics, three cobras slowly poked out of the bamboo basket, and their flat heads swung back and forth with the flute in the man's hand, as if they were dancing.
Seeing these snakes, Mingruo's hair stood up.
Linglong waved her wings on Mingruo's shoulder: Don't be afraid, the baby will protect the baby.
I know that Linglong doesn’t have to be nervous, but seeing this species that is both dangerous and not growing within my aesthetic scope will still make people uncomfortable.
Many of the ladies and ladies present also had pale faces. But seeing the emperor admiring with interest, he could only endure the urge to scream and did not dare to look there.
Si Haochen held Ming Ruo's slightly cold hand and directly put the old iron who had closed the "little black jar" out of the Qiankun box.
Finally, I saw Tian Ri Lao Tie's body stiffened after twisting the plate for a long time and started working immediately. In order to stop closing the dark room, I immediately released my pressure.
Ming Ruo whispered: "Will you take care of the snakes from other countries?"
It turns out that no matter where it comes from, it cannot resist the hierarchical suppression originating from bloodlines.
Originally, the cobra was dancing leisurely, as if he felt danger. He drifted back into the bamboo basket and no matter how the flute player summoned him, he would not come out again. But snakes are not humans after all, and they cannot be coerced and tempted.
Emperor Danxu waved his hand in dismay and asked the snake charmer to step down.
Cao Lihua, the daughter of the Marquis of Pingnan, stepped forward: "My daughter is the emperor, the queen, and the concubine perform a dance of incense and swords."
"Accurate." Emperor Danxu nodded.
Cao Lihua wore a flying bun on her head, wore a brocade white dress, and a golden palace belt around her waist. Her body danced with the drum beats, and the tassels on her waist looked pretty good. But she was obviously not suitable for dancing the "Sword Dance". Every move was soft and she did not see the cool and heroic posture that "Sword Dance" should have.
"Hmm?" Ming Ruo raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint fragrance gradually spread.
Everyone also discovered that as Cao Lihua danced, a pleasant fragrance emanated from her body, making up for the shortcomings of the sword dance itself. People finally understood why this dance was called "Fragrant Sword Dance".
"Ha." Mingruo narrowed his eyes slightly, took out a packet of medicine powder from his sleeve, let Linglong swallow it in one bite, and sprinkled it into the surrounding bonfire.
Si Haochen frowned slightly. He resisted the fragrance from the bottom of his heart. Suddenly he remembered the fragrance a little familiar: "Did she use the bone-eroding fragrance?"
"Bone-Eating Incense" is a poison specifically targeted at martial artists. The higher the martial arts skills, the greater the impact of "Bone-Eating Incense". Before, they were all attacked in the plum forest of Chongsheng Temple, and they and Ruoer fell off the cliff.
Si Haochen pressed the "little gourd" hidden in his clothes, and his wife had already given him a poison-proof object. If there was any change, he would run away with his wife on his back.
