Chapter 18
"Bam—!"
The fireworks exploded in the air, extremely gorgeous, like a flood of snow falling down from the sky, illuminating the dark night sky as bright as day.
On New Year's Eve, there is a big banquet in the palace to reward civil and military officials, drink plum wine, and enjoy singing, dancing and fireworks. Although it is midnight and the weather is freezing, the atmosphere of singing and dancing in the corpse is peaceful, silk and bamboo vocal music, and the lively atmosphere is no less than that of the wedding with the prince. of the day.
The banquet was held in the open-air school grounds, with two rows of flowing water banquets on both sides, and the tables were covered with delicious food and wine. The highest seat at the banquet was Emperor Jingning, and the first seat on the left was the prince Yuedu Tou and the princess Yuedu Yu, followed by the left and right seats. The prime ministers are arranged in order according to the size of the official position. On the right hand side are the envoys from the dependent countries who come to celebrate the new year, and they also sit in order according to the size of the country. Behind the seats are the maids serving wine and the palace people who are sent at any time.
Between the two seats were dancers dancing gracefully, their dancing postures were enchanting, and they were not dulled by the cold weather at all. It is a pity that the civil and military officials and envoys from all over the world did not pay attention to them, but glanced at them from time to time while talking and laughing. To the first seat on the left is the crown prince and princess concubine. The majestic prince of a country has a man as his concubine, and the mother of a country in the future has caused a sensation in the neighboring countries. They are all curious about what kind of fairy this princess is.
On the first seat, a handsome young man nestled in the prince's arms without knowing it, and opened his mouth to eat the food and wine that the prince fed him. His small face was fair and delicate, and his expression was childish and innocent, like a docile deer letting the prince hug him At this moment, he was staring at the fireworks blooming above his head, his round eyes reflecting the light of the fireworks flickering on and off.
"it's beautiful…"
Opening his mouth to eat the hot beef he picked up, he chewed it slowly in his mouth, but never took his eyes off the fireworks that were blooming in the sky, Yue Duyu sighed slightly in his heart, time passed so fast, it was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, in the past We all lived together with senior brother. In the deserted Luoyexuan, there are only a few firecrackers. Although it is not lively, it has never been boring. Now, the sound of gunfire is so loud that it is very lively, but he is not happy at all. Senior brother, Why are you so stingy that you don't even send a letter back?
"What do you think?"
Yuedu saw through his empty eyes, ignored the thoughts in his heart, and patted his cheek lightly, Yuedu squinted his eyes, looked up at him, but saw that his smile was a bit far-fetched, he tilted his head, but suddenly He stretched out his hand to hook Yue Dutou's neck, brought his lips to his ears, and breathed lightly.
"Tou, it's so boring here, let's go back to the palace, I'm a bit cold."
Yuedu tugged the big fur on Yuedu's body tightly, and raised his eyes to look at the harmonious atmosphere of all the officials. Although all of them were smiling, they still couldn't hide the stalking and flattery between their brows, but these were the people he wanted in the future The object of wooing, if you leave now...
"Tou, I'm so cold..."
Yue Duyu buried his face in Yuedu Tou's chest, hugged Yuedutou's waist tightly with his hands, and rubbed against his chest like a kitten.Yuedu Tou hugged him, feeling that Yuedu was thinner than before entering the palace, he sighed softly.
After getting married, he entered the court to participate in politics, and the court was busy with political affairs. He also knew that Wu'er hated these things the most, so he tried his best to deal with them by himself, which wasted a lot of time and ignored him. Although Wu'er didn't say anything, but The loneliness in those eyes made him feel distressed. He just came to the palace not long ago, and he knew very few people. Now that he has left him in the cold, Wu'er must feel very uncomfortable. It is his fault that he didn't consider Wan'er's feelings. .
Today is the first New Year's Eve after Wu'er entered the palace, and it is inevitable that he will feel homesick and think of... thinking of that person, he will feel a little uncomfortable. He does not deny that he is jealous, but he also knows that Wu'er is because of himself. He didn't want to enter the palace, so he didn't want Wu'er to be unhappy.
Thinking about it, he got up and picked up Yueduyu, and was about to salute Emperor Jingning, who was seated first, but a man walked out of the banquet and walked towards the emperor. He was dressed in heavy court clothes and a black velvet hat on his head. Stepping up to the head of the case, he knelt down on one knee, put his right hand on his shoulder, and said respectfully: "The special envoy of Fuyu, Luwang Lufu, has seen His Majesty! I wish His Majesty the dragon body and peace!"
"Special envoy Luwang Luft is exempt." Emperor Jing Ning raised his hand with a smile, "Special envoy Luwang Luft traveled all the way to this country to congratulate him. He has worked hard all the way. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough."
"Your Majesty Shengqian!" Luwang Lufu stood up and bowed in salute, "As early as Fuyushi, Luwang Lufu had heard that the guardian of the country is superb in martial arts. I wonder if His Majesty will allow the National Protector to attend Luwang Lufu's whole mind."
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the banquet immediately. Hundreds of officials and special envoys from various countries whispered and discussed, pointing at Lu Wanglufu, and finally turned their eyes to Yuedu. He just stared at the person in his arms, wanting to know Wu'er's reaction when he heard the name, but Yue Duwan nestled in his arms disapprovingly, squinting at Luwanglufu.
Emperor Jingning was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "I'm afraid this will disappoint Special Envoy Luwang Luft, as early as after the prince's wedding, the National Protector went out for a tour, and I don't know where he is now. "
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, learn martial arts, just point to the end, Luwang Lufu will not hurt your lord." Luwang Lufu said arrogantly, thinking that His Majesty was worried about the personal safety of the National Protector, so he made such a bad move. I feel that the guardian of the country is not as powerful as in the legend.
As soon as Lu Wanglufu finished his words, before Emperor Jingning could speak, someone laughed out loud during the banquet, and looked up, and saw the Crown Princess Yuedu was nestled in the prince's arms, giggling with her mouth covered, without waiting Luwang Lufu was angry, and he said naively: "Of course you can challenge the National Protector, but even if you are a special envoy, you have to follow the rules."
"rule?"
"Yeah." Yue Duyu nodded earnestly, "You have to defeat a few subordinates taught by the protector of the country first, otherwise every challenger who comes to challenge will have to play in person, the protector of the country is not exhausted."
"That makes sense." Luwang Lufu nodded, "Then please invite some subordinates of the National Protector, Your Highness."
"Yue'er, don't mess around." Yuedu told Yuedu not to mess around, no matter which side wins or loses, it will affect harmony, but Yuedu smiled slyly at him and patted his chest, "Don't worry, I know how Do it, nothing will happen."
"However, we have to make an agreement first. We can't hurt anyone." Yue Duwan said to Luwang Lufu, seeing that Luwang Lufu nodded in agreement, he waved and said, "Shou'er, come out!"
A thin figure jumped out of the darkness, and Shou landed on the field without a sound. At this time, the dancer had already stepped back, and the two seats were empty. His face was expressionless and his eyes were indifferent, but Luwangluf rubbed his hands together with an expression of eagerness to try, and the atmosphere in the field suddenly condensed.
"Shou'er, don't hurt the special envoy until you click on it." Yueduan looked at Shou thoughtfully, and said with a smile, Shou slightly bowed to Yueduan, with a barely visible smile on his lips, "Your Highness rest assured."
"Can we start?" Luwan Luf asked impatiently, clacking his hands, obviously ready.
Shou glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Please." As soon as the words were finished, Luwang Lufu waved his fist, Shou sideways stretched his arms to block, and then swept his legs, Luwang Lufu also moved away, and waved again Fisting forward, Shou calmly evaded, and the two faced off one move after another, and it was hard to tell the winner for a while, causing other officials at the table to raise their throats.
Emperor Jingning's expression was calm, and his eyes swept over the two people who were fighting in the field, and fell on Yue Du'an who was watching the show. Yue Du'an unconsciously smiled happily while hugging Yue Du's neck, Looking at his naughtiness, I don't know whether to be angry or laugh, with a very contradictory expression.
As time passed, the two people in the field still couldn't tell who was stronger and who was weaker. It seemed that they had seen enough. Yue Duyu straightened out his messy hair with one hand, and hooked Yue Dutou's neck with the other, smiling brightly. "Tou, let's go, let Shou'er play him well, otherwise he will really think that there is no one else in our Yuedu country except senior brother."
