Chapter 273
The corner of Ling Qiufan's mouth tugged a little bit, and if he couldn't resist it, he retreated to advance?It's a pity that Liu's self-righteous trick will eventually become a laughingstock, "The frontier soldiers used flesh and blood to protect Daxia's territory by singing and dancing. Audiences who are used to silk, bamboo and elegant music suddenly heard the pre-war drum music, as if deep Once the daughter's family, who had been hiding in the boudoir for more than ten years, came to the battlefield, the fire and blood rain replaced the emerald embroidered mantle with emerald beads, the iron armor and cold bow replaced the brocade and neon clothes, there were no carved railings and painted buildings, no fairy music fluttering, only the shouts of fighting filled the eardrums And the sound of guns and halberds piercing the chest. I think that as long as there is respect for the soldiers, everyone can play the shocking drum music."
As far as this is concerned, not only did he not refute anyone's face, nor did he belittle his own identity, but he kept Wei Yueyan's reputation, and even killed an upcoming ups and downs in the cradle.Regardless of whether someone mentioned it in the official circle of the capital before, no one will make a fuss about it from now on.
Liu's mouth was slightly open, and she didn't recover for a long time.
"Good words."
A female voice came from afar, and the clasps of the rings were lightly tapped as they moved. All the women raised their eyes and saw that the person who came was today's host—Princess Zhaoren.
Two rows of palace maids followed neatly behind, and Zhaoren Shi came over, everyone stood up and saluted until Zhaoren took the main seat, and then returned to their seats.Ling Qiufan has never met Princess Zhaoren, but he also knows that this princess is a widow. The mastermind of the Jinling massacre before, and the son-in-law who was executed and beheaded by the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is her husband.Although everyone in the court knew that Wei Yueyan and Qu Quan had been at odds for many years, they couldn't escape this brother-in-law relationship after all.What's more, Ling Qiufan knew that Zhaoren had come to the General's Mansion to ask Wei Yueyan for help. According to what Zhan Jin said about Princess Zhaoren abandoning her umbrella and leaving angrily that day, Wei Yueyan should have rejected her.
Therefore, before going to the banquet today, Ling Qiufan already had a bottom line in his heart - even if Zhaoren couldn't do anything to her on the spot, he would never make her feel better.
Ling Qiufan looked at the empty seats around him, wondering if he should be glad that Xue Ji didn't come at this time, so he didn't have to follow her to be bullied.
"Madam Su Wenwei has a beautiful heart, today I can see you." After Zhaoren finished the ceremonial congratulatory speech, the conversation turned to Ling Qiufan. She was sitting on the table at this time, wearing a Goose yellow Su brocade set off the golden hairpin and pearl emerald on the bun, if you don't think about her past deeds and only talk about her skin, she is really a beauty as bright as the sun.
"Princess's praise, how can I be a concubine?" Ling Qiufan replied lightly, pulling the corner of his mouth slightly.
Zhao Ren glanced back and forth between Ling Qiufan and the vacant seats beside her, and picked up the wine bottle with a smile, the cool wine reflected in his eyes like countless floes of ice, "As Mrs. Wei said, today's Guotai Minan River Qinghaiyan is The soldiers traded their lives for it. Today, the emperor hosted a banquet in the previous dynasty and led all the civil and military officials to farewell General Wei and the soldiers, so this palace should offer a glass to Mrs. Wei on behalf of the mother."
After the words fell, all the female relatives also raised their wine glasses to respect Ling Qiufan.
A polite smile floated on Ling Qiufan's face, Luoluo generously raised his own cup to accept the grandiose toast, and quickly speculated about Zhaoren's next plan in his mind.In fact, although she is Wei Yueyan's wife, everyone knows who the protagonist is at this banquet, and Zhaoren raised her to such a height to make it difficult for her to step down.
Sure enough, after the etiquette is over, the sharpness begins to show.
"In the past, at farewell banquets, General Wei would beat drums in the vestibule to boost morale. Since she officially worshiped the Twelve Guards Generals, the soldiers have no such blessing." Zhaoren expressed regret, and Ling Qiufan who was at the banquet heard her say His complexion completely sank.
When Mrs. Liu said it before, she already had a point in her heart. The purpose of soldiers beating drums in front of the battle is to boost morale. What kind of thing is beating drums in court?The banquet held by the Holy Majesty is full of civil and military officials and their families. At most, several generals and lieutenants are present at the banquet. Why is it to boost the morale of the soldiers?Hearing what Zhaoren said, she finally understood that Wei Yueyan came from a poor background and was a woman. Although she is now a third-rank official, she has a lot of glory, but if she is not married or commits herself along the way, she will always be treated unfairly and humiliated. .
Now I have the right to refuse to be pulled out like a monkey to perform skills, how wronged should I be when I couldn't refuse?A girl went to the battlefield before she could reach her age, and her best years were spent in bloody battles. She risked her life to climb up step by step, and finally climbed up to be an official in the former dynasty, but she couldn't get the due courtesy and was thrown away. Confusion and embarrassment without real meaning, without power and identity, can only smash teeth and swallow blood.
The ice cubes stored at the flower viewing banquet have melted and it is difficult to fan out the cool breeze. Several court ladies have already started to add new ice reserves.Even Ling Qiufan, who was always cold and not afraid of heat, also had a little sweat on her forehead, but at this moment she felt cold all over her body.
"Madame Su Wenwei is very good at rhythm, and she can play the piano well. Why don't you take advantage of this farewell feast to play a song for the soldiers who are about to go far away, and wish them a triumphant return?" Zhaoren finally revealed her purpose, Leaning back slightly, he looked at Ling Qiufan with a frosty complexion on the mat.
Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!
Not to mention that Zhaoren's request is too difficult for others, there is no reason at all.However, the reason she found for declaring her personal revenge was exactly what Ling Qiufan couldn't refute at this time. Combined with the series of actions of the toast just now, any words of refusal would be pale and powerless in the present, and it would be easy to be labeled by others.
