Chapter 321 Pre-emptive strike
Xiao Xia looked up at Li Ling, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head: "This night banquet, all the soldiers invited were from the court, so the Empress, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Zhen would not be present."
Li Ling was slightly stunned.
What she wanted to ask was Li Jingshu, but the palace maid answered the girls in her harem.
Li Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sima Zhen.
Li Ling had to remember the promise he had given Sima Zhen...
Li Jingshu is not in Li Ling's eyes, but Sima Zhen's harem has the queen and Zhenfei!
Even if Sima Zhen has no husband and wife relationship with them, they are really people who have their own ideas, not dolls at the mercy of Sima Zhen.
In the other world I traveled through time, Sima Zhen is the emperor, the little cat, and the soul with close contact with Li Ling. But here, in this Jinlin City, in this palace, Sima Zhen is far more complicated than the little cat.
At this moment, the Queen and Concubine Zhen really seemed to be standing in front of Li Ling, reminding Li Ling of the complex situation around Sima Zhen.
Li Lingru was stuck in her throat and looked down: "Lead the way."
Xiao Xia came to lead the way for Anping Hou, which was arranged by the eunuchs beside the emperor himself.
Xiao Xia knew that this Anping Hou was different from everyone.
Marquis Anping has a strong martial arts skills, and is the most powerful person in the heavenly rank. He is the third person in martial arts in this world. Marquis Anping has a good relationship with King Zhongyong and King Zunyi, and is a powerful figure. She is also beautiful and has entered the court since Marquis Anping. Which of the palace is not a preacher? The beauty in the painting that His Majesty is thinking about is not Empress Shu, but this Marquis Anping with the most martial arts skills.
One day after Anping Hou entered Jinlin City, rumors spread in the palace.
Everyone speculated that His Majesty truly loved this Marquis of Anping, but because of the Marquis of Anping, he was unable to get it, so he turned to Empress Shu, who was somewhat similar to Marquis Anping, as a substitute.
The Jingren Palace that was repaired early has been vacant. It is not certain that His Majesty is waiting for this Marquis of Anping to enter the palace in his heart.
Xiao Xia had heard many rumors in the palace and was half-believing and half-doubted. But when she saw this Anping Hou, Xiao Xia felt that these rumors must be true.
There is nothing else, just because Anping Hou is really too beautiful.
The beauty in those stories is probably like Anping Hou.
But Anping Hou is very skilled in martial arts, which is different from other stunning features.
If Marquis Anping refused to enter the palace, even if His Majesty missed it in his heart, it might not be possible!
At this moment, Xiao Xia saw that Anping Hou suddenly changed his face, and he felt a little panicked, not knowing what he said wrong. Xiao Xia's face turned pale, and when she saw that Anping Hou had no intention of falling into her, she quickly lowered her head and turned to lead the way silently.
As autumn approaches, the green trees in Shuofeng Garden are still dark green, but most of the flowers in the garden have passed the flowering period. Li Ling walked down after a circle and saw not many flowers.
When Xiao Xia led to the banquet, it was already dark.
Exquisite paper lanterns are hung everywhere in Shuofeng Garden, and the lights are shining, and the lights in the garden are as bright as day.
With the sound of "Horse Anping arrived--", Li Ling entered the night banquet.
Shen Lang was already sitting in front of the uppermost small table on the left. Hearing this sound, he turned his head, raised the wine glass in his hand, and then tilted his head and drank it all. After drinking the wine, Shen Lang lowered his head and smiled, and did not look at Li Ling again, but just lowered his head.
Zhou Yichi sat in front of the small table on the right, saw Li Ling and nodded to her.
At the second table on the right, Zhen Shiming was sitting, and he also turned around and greeted Li Ling.
On both sides, there were small tables and tables like lined up.
Li Ling walked in slowly. At this moment, Li Ling suddenly appeared. Although she was silenced to kill zombies in Shen Lang's army and ignored military affairs, she knew most of the soldiers and officers on the banquet.
Most of these people met her several times. When they saw her coming in, they greeted her: "Horse Anping!"
"Horse Anping is here!"
"Hale Anping came a little late!"
...
Li Ling smiled and greeted her, and walked slowly to the left.
The second table on the left was empty, obviously kept for her.
Li Ling sat behind the second table on the left, and Chen Youyou sat silently behind her.
Li Ling sat down, but Shen Lang did not turn around and talk to Li Ling. He looked down at the delicious food on the table, and his right hand rolled the wine glass in his hand, looking lazy, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not long after, the eunuch sang "Your Majesty is here--"
Sima Zhen was wearing a light yellow dragon robe and a high gold and jade crown on his head, and he walked up and walked. The brilliant and bright light hit the face of the young and handsome emperor, making him look noble and deep, and full of kingly aura.
Sima Zhen sat down at the top.
Everyone at the banquet stood up and leaned over and said, "Long live my emperor--"
"Stand up, please sit down, my dear friends."
Sima Zhen smiled and looked around, his eyes stopped on Li Ling and Shen Lang, and said with a smile: "Today's night banquet is to welcome the loyal and brave king and all the soldiers. All the soldiers protect the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, escort thousands of miles away, and have worked hard and made great contributions. I would like to pay a cup to you."
After saying that, Sima Zhen picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.
Sima Zhen sat high on the top, said a few more scenes slowly, and the night banquet began.
A palace maid came in silently, giving everyone at the banquet a fine wine and delicacies. Teams of dancers jumped into the center of the banquet, and their figures roamed and danced gracefully.
Li Ling saw the beauty who could dance. At first, she thought the beauty was dancing very well. After watching it for a long time, she felt boring and lowered her head and just focused on eating. She also added some food to Chen Youyou from time to time.
Chen Youyou secretly winked at Li Ling, smiling.
In Li Ling's opinion, this welcoming banquet has a strong sense of form.
If Shen Lang wants to rebel, then this welcome banquet may be a sword and a sword.
If Sima really wants to take away the 400,000 troops from Shen Lang, this welcome banquet is to release the military power with a cup of wine.
But the reality is that Shen Lang and Sima Zhen seem to be "dear brothers, still in the honeymoon period", so this welcoming banquet has no special significance.
This is just a banquet in which Sima Zhen expressed his feelings to the 400,000 army.
Li Ling felt that there would probably be no major events at this banquet. She also looked leisurely and lowered her head to eat and drink.
The moonlight is like water.
Li Ling was already full in her belly, and most of them were already half drunk at the banquet.
An official who Li Ling didn't know came out from somewhere and was lying on Shen Lang's table, constantly urging Shen Lang to drink. While toasting Shen Lang, the middle-aged man in purple official uniform praised Shen Lang for his loyalty and patriotism. He was a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He praised Shen Lang as an example of all civil and military officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty and a person who should be named after history.
Shen Lang smiled and said nothing. He refused everyone and drank a glass of wine.
I don’t know what he said, the official in purple smiled and drank, and said half drunk: “The man in this world should be like you, King Zhongyong, and is unparalleled! Huh! King Zhongyong, you are the greatest hero in the heart of the lower officials. How can you say this? Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness, loyalty is the first! Also, brothers are like brothers and feet, and women are like clothes. Clothes can be changed, and brothers are for life..."
Li Ling curled her lips, raised her glass and took a sip. After listening to the words for so long, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "So, this adult thinks it's good to go out without clothes?"
"Cough!" Shen Lang coughed suddenly, a smile flashed across his eyes, shook his head, and continued to drink himself.
The official in purple clothes was stunned and turned to see that it was Li Ling. His eyes were confused for a moment, and then his face suddenly turned pale. He bowed to Li Ling: "See Marquis Anping. The lower official, the lower official, the lower official said that the Hou of Anping is like clothes? No, no, no! The lower official does not mean that the lower official."
"Of course, Anping Hou is not a clothes." Sima Zhen's smile sounded.
At some point, Sima Zhen had already walked off the platform with a wine glass and stood behind the official in purple. His face was like the spring breeze blowing on his face, showing that he was in a good mood. Sima Zhen looked at Li Ling with a smile: "Marquis Anping is Marquis Anping."
"What's more," Sima Zhen lowered his head and looked at the wine glass in his hand: "In my opinion, your hands and feet are bound to be broken, and of course your clothes must be carefully cared for. No one can lack both!"
Shen Lang shook his body and stood up, raising his glass to Sima Zhen: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. Shen Lang respects Your Majesty with a cup. I wish Your Majesty a reward for your wish and a country will last forever."
Sima Zhen smiled and clinked glasses with Shen Lang. The two of them drank wine at the same time. Sima Zhen smiled and said, "The King of Zhongyong and I are not brothers, better than brothers!"
Shen Lang also laughed, and he bowed to Sima Zhen: "Your Majesty, I am a little embarrassed today, so I will take my leave first."
Sima Zhen nodded slightly.
Shen Lang exhaled, helped a personal guard beside him and walked out of Shuofeng Garden.
Shen Lang left the banquet, and Li Ling couldn't help but want to retreat.
Although the food at the banquet was good, it was not as hot and fragrant as before as the food just prepared by Anping Hou Mansion.
Before Li Ling could say that she was leaving the table, she heard the eunuch sing loudly at the entrance of Shuofeng Garden: "The Empress Shu is here--"
Li Ling paused when she was about to get up.
Sima Zhen frowned and the smile on her face dissipated.
Another sound rang out: "The Marquis of Shunyi arrived--"
Li Ling sat at the banquet and glanced at the entrance of Shuofeng Garden.
Sima Zhen's face was slightly dark, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. He turned around and walked towards the dragon chaise. When he sat down on the dragon chaise, Sima Zhen's face was as normal.
Watching Li Jingshu and Xun Li walk into Shuofeng Garden, a word suddenly popped up in Li Ling's mind - take the lead.
Since Li Jingshu met her in the previous court, she knew that Li Ling would never let her go.
So, first the two fathers and sons of the Li family.
One move failed, and Li Jingshu immediately took the second move!
Li Jingshu has already taken Xun Li to her and Li Ling!
Li Ling sneered in her heart, this is coming to find her.
Sima Zhen was plagued by chores, so she asked Li Ling to wait.
But what about now?
Chapter completed!
