Chapter 227 Her chance has come!
The Queen Mother walked over calmly, and Ouyang Ming stood up: "Your son greets you, Mother."
The Queen and Consort Wang followed suit, stood up, and saluted.
Everyone in the audience knelt down and bowed, "Long live the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Alright, alright, everyone get up."
Nanny Gui behind the Queen Mother passed on the message: "The Queen Mother's order, all the ministers stand up."
Everyone: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Everyone then stood up.
The Queen Mother sat leisurely in her seat, smiling kindly: "Today is a peace banquet, Your Majesty, please do whatever you need to do and focus on state affairs. You don't have to worry too much about me. I am just joining in the fun. I am old, I just like fun."
Ouyang Ming took the Queen and Concubine Wang back to pay their respects before sitting down in their seats.
Princess Jianning wanted to go down to sit with Bai Wei, but was caught by the Queen and asked to sit not far from her. Princess Jianning did not dare to disobey her mother's wishes, so she had to give up and looked at Bai Wei eagerly.
Bai Wei smiled at her to comfort her, indicating that there was still a long way to go.
The peace banquet also began.
On the stage, there was singing and dancing.
Below the stage, people were toasting each other.
Ouyang Ming raised his glass to Feng Lin and said, "Today, Dong Qin and Nanjiang are able to have peace talks. This is definitely a blessing for the development of both countries and the people living on the border. This shows the vision and insight of Prince Feng. I am truly happy to have a friend like you!"
Feng Lin also raised his glass: "You are too polite, Emperor Dong Qin. Feng Lin will drink first as a sign of respect."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Seeing this, Ouyang Ming also drank all the wine in his glass and said cheerfully, "Today is the Peaceful Banquet. Prince Feng, please drink to your heart's content and enjoy the dance. We can talk about other matters tomorrow!"
Feng Lin smiled and said, "Feng Lin likes eating, drinking and having fun the most. Since Emperor Dong Qin said so, Feng Lin will enjoy it."
Ouyang Ming waved his hand proudly, and another group of dancers slowly came onto the stage and danced to the sound of the piano.
Ouyang Yi sat in his seat, quietly listening to the song and dance not far away: "Meteor."
Hearing this, Liu Xing shuddered unconsciously: "My Lord, what is the matter?"
Today's prince must not be offended.
Ouyang Yi said calmly: "Are there any tangerines on the table at the palace banquet?"
Liu Xing looked at the table with all kinds of fruits, snacks, cold cuts and honey syrups: "There are no tangerines today."
Ouyang Yi said calmly: "Why not? Don't you know that I like tangerines the most and don't like other fruits? Go back and get the Ten Military Sticks."
As soon as he said this, Liu Xing felt like he was about to cry. He didn't set the menu for the palace banquet, so why would he be beaten if there were no mandarin oranges? "Your Highness, how about I go to the kitchen and get you two?"
Ouyang Yi said calmly: "Did the king say he was going to eat? You have the right to guess my thoughts without permission, and I will punish you with ten more military sticks."
Meteor wanted to cry but had no tears. He wanted to argue, but he was afraid that if he argued, he would have to do it ten more times: "Yes!"
General Bai, what on earth did you write to make the prince so angry that he became a cannon fodder!
Ouyang Yi's ears suddenly moved, and he whispered, "Someone is coming."
Meteor woke up immediately.
If it is someone he is very familiar with, the prince can judge who the other person is, and whether he is a friend or an enemy, by the sound of his footsteps, the smell of his body, or even the feeling.
And since my own prince didn't say anything today, that person should be someone who has no hostility but is not familiar to me.
Of course, he had to pay attention. Liu Xing looked around and saw, "Your Majesty, it seems to be Hongying, the maidservant beside General Bai."
General Bai often brings Deputy General Zhao with him, and rarely brings a maid. He has only met her once, so it is normal that his own prince is not familiar with her.
Ouyang Yi didn't say anything when he heard Liuxing say this.
At this time, Hongying had already walked to Ouyang Yi's table with a plate in her hand and bowed slightly: "I am Hongying, General Bai's personal maid. Your Highness Prince Yi, this is the fruit plate that my young lady asked me to bring to you."
Liu Xing glanced at the plate with disdain in his eyes: "Your young lady only sent these. My prince only likes to eat tangerines, not these messy fruits. Let me see what's in it? Green grapes, grapes..."
Humph, since it was General Bai’s letter that made our prince unhappy.
Then finding trouble for her maid can be considered as a way to vent the anger of the prince!
The prince will calm down after a while and will naturally stop causing trouble for him.
When Hongying heard Liuxing say that Ouyang Yi liked tangerines, she felt something was wrong.
Why doesn't the daughter of the family know what the future son-in-law likes before giving him a gift? It would be a shame to give the wrong gift.
But before Liu Xing finished speaking, Ouyang Yi spoke up: "Put it down, go back and tell your young lady that I like it very much."
Liu Xing was stunned, looking at Ouyang Yi in a daze: "?"
No, Your Highness, that's not what you said to Liuxing just now!
When Hongying heard Ouyang Yi say this, her nervous mood eased a little. She carefully placed the plate on the table and said, "This fruit plate was carefully prepared by my young lady. The apples in it have been cut into pieces, and the grapes and berries have been removed. Please enjoy it, Your Highness Prince Yi."
After saying this, he bowed again before leaving.
Ouyang Yi smiled and placed his fingers on the fruit plate. His mood instantly brightened up: "Meteor."
Seeing that Ouyang Yi was in a good mood, Liu Xing immediately felt a surge of anticipation in his heart: "Your subordinate is here."
Ouyang Yi: "I'll spare you the twenty military sticks just now."
Liu Xing happily clenched his fist with one hand and made an excited gesture: "Yes."
Ouyang Yi: "But you just spoke rudely to Wei'er's personal maid, so you will be punished with ten military sticks."
Liu Xing's smile suddenly froze on his face: "?"
Why is there still a penalty?
Forget it, ten military sticks are at least better than twenty military sticks.
The singing and dancing continued, but Feng Lin showed no interest and even yawned.
Unless Ouyang Ming is blind, he can't possibly see what's going on: "Prince Feng, do you not like these songs and dances?"
Feng Lin raised his charming phoenix eyes and said bluntly: "It's really boring."
Ouyang Qi immediately said, "Feng Lin, don't go too far. These programs were carefully arranged by my mother. How can you be so picky? Do you know that the guest should follow the host's wishes?"
Feng Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled even more seductively: "So, Your Highness Prince Qi wants me to lie to deceive the Emperor of East Qin? But I remember that in East Qin, deceiving the Emperor of East Qin is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Are you deliberately trying to frame me? Or have you done a lot of deceiving the emperor in secret and are now instigating me?"
Ouyang Qi's face immediately turned red: "Feng Lin, stop talking nonsense! This king didn't mean what you said at all, and I have never lied to my father!"
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and raised them towards Ouyang Ming, as if to express his sincerity.
But Feng Lin continued, "Then why don't you tell me what you mean, Your Highness Prince Qi? Your Highness Prince Qi also knows that Dongqin is the host and this prince is the guest. The Emperor of Dongqin said that this is a welcoming banquet arranged for this prince for the sake of diplomatic relations and friendly talks between the two countries. Doesn't this prince even have the right to speak the truth?"
Ouyang Qi was speechless for a moment: "This king, this king, this king..."
Seeing that he couldn't come up with an effective rebuttal for a long time, Ouyang Ming was afraid that he would make things worse, so he said directly: "Qi'er, please sit down. My Dongqin is a country of etiquette. Since we said that we want Prince Feng to enjoy today's Taiping Banquet, we naturally have to make him happy."
After saying that, he looked at Feng Lin and said with a smile: "I wonder what kind of performance Prince Feng likes. I have many talented young people in Dongqin. Maybe we can satisfy Prince Feng?"
Fenglin Red Lips Wei Yang: "Performance is always a little bit lacking, how about... a competition?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Lian's eyes suddenly lit up.
She knew her chance had come!
