Xie Fu almost gave her a high-five, but he was afraid that the Queen would notice her, so he held back in the end.
Seeing that the dance was over, these fairies were about to leave, and they returned to the human world, feeling very reluctant to part with them.
The purpose of a palace banquet is to have fun and enjoy yourself. How could the emperor let everyone down and lose face? He said loudly: "You will toast to all the guests for me."
Hundreds of colorful dancers floated towards the guests on both sides. In the name of toasting, everyone could have a close contact with these colorful dancers.
Singers and dancers accompanied by wine have always been a necessary part of Chang'an banquets, and Xie Fu also saw the chaotic scene of men and women sitting together in the palace.
Following the male and female voices, everyone let go.
Although everyone around him was like this, it was the first time for Xie Fu to participate in such an occasion, so he still couldn't let go.
Although he couldn't let go, in the final analysis, the wine hadn't arrived yet. As soon as the wine arrived, Li Shaodian possessed him, and everyone present was willing to be the loser.
A dancer came to propose a toast. Cui Sanfei took the opportunity to touch the dancer's hand and said with a lewd smile: "It's really soft and boneless."
The dancer seemed to be used to it, and smiled slightly and said: "Sir, please drink."
Cui Sanfei didn't reach out to pick it up, and pouted: "Come and feed me."
The dancing girl brought the wine to Cui Sanfei's mouth. Unexpectedly, Cui Sanfei leaned back slightly and said, "If you get closer, you won't be able to reach me."
Taking advantage of the dancer's close proximity, Cui Sanfei pretended to fall backwards, grabbed the dancer's arms, and held the dancer in his arms.
The dancer also pretended to be squirming and struggling, and her soft body scratched Cui Sanfei until no part of her body felt uncomfortable.
Xie Fu was startled. Cui Sanfei, you have become the focus of the audience by doing this. He secretly looked towards the Queen who was sitting there, and saw that the Queen was still sitting calmly and calmly despite the chaos and bustle around her.
Looking around, although the others were not as presumptuous as Cui Sanfei, they were taking advantage of the toast while whispering intimately to the dancer.
Everyone was used to it, but Xie Fu seemed out of place.
Shangshu Ling, who was sitting above Fu Xie, said to Fu Xie: "Master Xie, this is the style of chasing deer, there is no need to be too restrained."
Xie Fuxiao asked: "Master Liu, what is the wind of chasing deer?"
Shangshu Ling explained: "Back then, when the princes competed in the Central Plains, they would hold banquets to celebrate their victory. In order to reward the generals, the princes would even call their concubines to greet the generals. They had to enjoy themselves to the fullest today, but they would be bloody and bloody tomorrow. "
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Good reason."
Shangshu Ling smiled and said: "I, the Daguan Kingdom, have been able to defeat the heroes of the Western Regions for two hundred years. Could it be that I relied on reciting a few lines of poetry and showing off an elegant style, not on the style of men competing for deer?"
"Men must be masculine and wild. If anyone steals our women, we will fight them tooth and nail. It is more practical than empty talk."
Xie Fu smiled hoarsely: "Is Master Liu a military general?"
"I am so vulgar that I am laughing at Mr. Xie, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River. Although I, as a civil servant, have never set foot on the battlefield to kill the enemy, I am still behind the generals."
"sorry."
Shangshu Ling picked up the wine and said, "Thank you, sir. I'll toast you."
Xie Fu picked up his wine glass and returned the favor.
"Master Xie needs to be more relaxed, otherwise His Majesty will think that the greeting was not done well when he saw me."
There was a hidden meaning in what Shangshu Ling said, and Xie Fu also heard it, but he was more worried that his incompatibility would become the focus.
He didn't want to be the center of attention at the palace banquet tonight, so he responded with a smile: "I'll get used to it."
At this time, Cui Sanfei also took advantage of the dancer, and said in an accusing tone: "This is Mr. Xie, the Jiedushi of Huainan Road, why don't you propose a toast."
This singer was pretending to flatter her, but she was not willing to stay with Cui Sanfei, a fat pig. Seeing that Mr. Xie was young and handsome, he was unique among the powerful officials. If she could stay by his side tonight, it would be... Very willing.
Hanqi brought the wine and offered it: "Thank you, sir. Please drink."
Xie Fu reached out to take it, but he didn't take advantage of her like others. Except when he was drunk and crazy, this was a polite habit.
Of course, sometimes this kind of politeness will be regarded by a woman as a refusal to welcome someone, and a secret flirtation, especially in this kind of situation.
Cui Sanfei saw that Fu Xie was still not used to it, so he helped him, pushed the dancing girl, and the wine in his hand spilled on Fu Xie.
The dancer looked panicked, hurriedly wiping the wine on Xie Fu's body with her little hands, and said she was sorry.
How many men can withstand such provocation? Seeing these soft little hands wiping from the chest to the abdomen, with a tendency to secretly come down, Xie Fu opened his arms and hugged her. He was not drunk yet, this trick made him Seen a lot in brothels.
The dancing girl yelled and immediately started struggling, but Xie Fu was not as frivolous as Cui Sanfei. He just hugged her and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Huarong."
"How about the banquet stays in my arms tonight?"
Or maybe the man in front of her was handsome, unlike the veterans she usually interacted with. The dancer's face turned red and she nodded shyly: "Yes."
It's just that Master Xie only had too many actions, and she couldn't show off to please, so she said softly: "Master Xie, can I feed you some wine?"
Xie Fu wanted to stay awake tonight and didn't want to drink too much. He smiled and said, "I'm already drunk from the smell of your fragrance."
From time to time, he secretly observed the people sitting there, and suddenly noticed that the emperor was looking towards him, with an inexplicable expression on his face.
Recalling what Shangshu Ling said just now, he kissed the dancing girl on the cheek and said with a smile: "It smells so good."
Sure enough, the suspicion on the emperor's face immediately turned into a smile.
It is a taboo to not take back the kindness you have given me.
The dancing girl was delighted. It was a different feeling to be kissed by a handsome man than by an old man with wrinkles on his face.
For Hua Rong, what was originally a torturous night of hypocrisy was now filled with genuine joy, "Sir, I'll feed you some wine."
Then just do as the Romans do, or use this dancer as a shield: "Okay."
"My lord, open your mouth."
As soon as Xie Fu opened his mouth, the dancer poured a glass of wine into it, but she was used to indulging others, and she couldn't change it for a while. They dancers can only get rid of men if they get them drunk.
Although this mouthful did not make Xie Fu choke, a lot of wine flowed out of the corner of his mouth when he was caught off guard. Hua Rong reached out and gently wiped the corner of his mouth, "Sir, I'm so sorry."
"Slowly feed it, you know? I'll be drunk in a short while if you feed it like this."
Xie Fu didn't want to drink. It would be okay if he could get drunk, but once he got drunk, he would not be drunk but would become insane.
"yes."
Cui Sanfei smiled and thought to himself, the elder brother is quite sensible.
Drinks were served on the table, and the program continued, with famous artists, singers, celebrities, and literati taking the stage alternately.
Famous artists presented their unique folk skills, singers and actresses presented beautiful songs, and famous literati showed their talents in poetry, and there were hundreds of poems.
Together we will add lively atmosphere and rich culture to the banquet.
No matter who is showing it, they will take a special look at the Empress, hoping that the Empress will be able to speak eloquently, but it is a pity that the Empress cherishes her words like gold.
Xie Fu paid special attention to the Queen's behavior and noticed this. He asked Cui Sanfei: "Why do they always look at the Queen regardless of whether they are performing songs or performing arts?"
Cui Sanfei said with a smile: "Every year, the grand palace banquet has a lucky draw, and famous artists, singers, celebrities, and literati are encouraged to actively participate, making the banquet rich and lively."
"And every occasion is different. Tonight's occasion is the Empress Bo's happy smile."
"Oh, what's the jackpot?"
"Then it depends on who you are. If you are a famous folk artist, you will be rewarded with gold, silver and jewelry. If you are a famous singer and actress, you will immediately remove your lowly status and be given gold and silver. If you are a scholar and celebrity, or you will receive an official title and a salary. Or there may be another reward.”
"It can be said that anyone can get the lottery tonight, which can change the destiny of his life. Do you think it is tempting or not?"
Thanks to Fu, it had nothing to do with him, so he stopped paying any more attention.
Cui Sanfei said: "Brother, you can also take the initiative to ask for help. With your [coquettish] skills, maybe tonight's winnings will be yours. Let's ask your Majesty for the bachelor's degree."
Xie Fu almost slapped Cui Sanfei on the head, but Empress Bo smiled!
Before he could avoid her in time, which was not equivalent to putting his neck up to let her chop him, he said in a deep voice: "What a bad idea!"
"Hey, what a bad idea this is. Everyone has a chance to participate in tonight's banquet, even the maids and eunuchs."
Xie Fu said with a serious expression: "I want to be low-key tonight. You are already high-profile enough. Maybe you should be low-key and not allow you to get this lottery prize."
Cui Sanfei chuckled: "I don't have this ability. This face is probably the most difficult in history."
Xie Fu's mind replayed the scene of meeting the auspicious goddess in the holy pool. Is it difficult?
Su Huaizhang felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles sitting among the royal family and ministers, so he got up with a drink and walked to this group of literati and celebrities.
Unexpectedly, this group of literati and celebrities looked down upon him, and no one talked to him. Su Huaizhang was holding a wine glass there, feeling very embarrassed.
A scholar sneered: "Hey, isn't this the prince-in-law of the new champion? What? Did you get the princess's permission to come over?"
Su Huaizhang was so angry that he wanted to go on stage to show off his talents. He was not a fool. He became the number one scholar by relying on his true talents and learning.
After walking quickly for a few steps, he finally calmed down. Although he has the talent of being the top scholar, among the celebrities who came tonight, there are many who are called poets, gods of poetry, and saints of poetry. If he really dares to go on stage, he will really show off his humiliation. In the end, the title of No. 1 Scholar may become just a name in name.
Alas, before marrying the third princess, he was still the son of a sacrificial winemaker, and was quite reputable and respected.
Now he is wearing the hat of a soft-hearted prince-in-law, being bullied by the princess at home, and being looked down upon and ridiculed by others outside.
The lively laughter around him seemed to be directed at him. Su Huaizhang felt so suppressed that he couldn't breathe. He was about to go outside to take a breather when he saw a familiar face holding a dancing girl in his arms. in it.
Su Huaizhang thought he was dazzled, and with disbelief, he slowly approached with his eyes fixed.
Xie Fu was drinking slowly with Hua Rong. You drank a glass of wine and I drank it for more than a dozen times without finishing it. This was not drinking, it was clearly an indirect kiss using the cup as a matchmaker.
Suddenly, a man's face appeared in front of his eyes, only a foot away from him, making Xie Fu recoil slightly in fright.
