Chapter 892 Provocation
The soul crystal earrings are naturally recognized by Qing Hou.
Qinghou also has a pair of similar earrings, but in terms of fineness and preciousness of soul crystals, they are far inferior to the pair of Donghuangsheng.
Empress Qing thought that at the cuckoo banquet, she didn't wear soul crystal earrings to the banquet, and Donghuangsheng, an idiot princess who hadn't been married yet, dared to show off like this, clearly to show off to her and Qingfu.
Besides, she also saw just now that her nephew Qingmeng's right hand was still disabled, he just broke his hand, and wanted to go up to toast Duguxiu, but was frightened back by Duguxiu's cold stare.
At this moment, Qing Qiang, his most beloved niece, just sits under Donghuang Sheng's hands in aggrieved manner, looking at Duguxiu with admiration.
Qinghou saw it in her eyes, and her dissatisfaction intensified.
After appreciating the flowers, a group of male and female warriors stepped forward, dancing with swords, guns and swords, revealing the unique folk customs of the Hou Qin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the wine has gone through three rounds, and everyone has enjoyed enough flowers. Why don't you add some color to the cuckoo banquet as usual." Qing Hou took a sip of the wine, her beautiful eyes rolled, indescribably charming.
"Hehe, that's true, then as usual, let's compete in combat skills this time. One year has passed, and I really want to see what new combat skills my good men of Hou Qin have learned , "After Qin Emperor Dugu Sheng heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Yun Sheng paid attention to the surroundings, and everyone showed nervous and excited expressions, as if they were not surprised by what was going to happen next.
The post-Qin folk style was tough, if it was a palace banquet, just looking at the flowers and enjoying the dance, it would be too ordinary.
In previous years, at the Cuckoo Banquet, there would be some contests.
The men performed their best fighting skills respectively, and the one who lost, that is, the weakest one, would be dragged out and beheaded as fertilizer for flowers.
But there are disadvantages and there must be advantages. There are also some warriors and soldiers, because of their outstanding performance at the cuckoo banquet, they were favored by the Emperor Qin, promoted and rewarded, and made great achievements.
This rule has existed since ancient times in the later Qin Dynasty, so every time, the noble warriors of the later Qin Dynasty who received the invitation to the cuckoo banquet were both terrified and secretly happy.
"You want to go up and perform later?" Yun Sheng listened and looked at Duguxiu.
"According to the usual practice, the prince is the last one to go up. Why, are you worried about the prince?" Lonely Xiu stared at Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng just drank a few sips of wine, her face was flushed red, adding a bit of beauty, her eyes flashed, but there was a different charm from usual.
Lonely Xio couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
"I just want to know, if you lose, will you be directly dragged into Huafei," Yun Sheng rolled her eyes.
Duguxiu's handsome face visibly froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He suppressed his anger, "Don't worry, in the entire Hou Qin, there is no one who can compare with this prince. But the cuckoo feast has always been fair. The cuckoo three years ago During the banquet, the prince's fourteenth brother was also given to death because of his inferior combat skills."
"That's good, the fairer the better," Yun Sheng grabbed a sour plum fruit and gnawed it with relish, playing tricks in his heart, hacking one by one to death.
Yun Sheng was eating happily, and suddenly caught a hostile gaze. When she raised her head slightly, she saw Qing Houhuo staring at her coldly.
A bad feeling arises spontaneously.
Sure enough, Qinghou smiled suddenly: "My lord, why don't we change the rules at this cuckoo banquet, and it's not interesting to see you men every day, why don't you let the female guests here have a show?"
"The empress is right. Every year we old men compete with each other. We are sweaty and tired of the competition. Everyone knows that the female queen of the Qin Dynasty does not give up to a man. The competition will also let us These elders are an eye-opener," Qing Meng suppressed his anger, and waited for the revenge that the girl said earlier.
After finally waiting for Qing Hou to speak, Qing Meng immediately knew that the opportunity to take revenge had come.
He and the young lady beside him hurriedly agreed.
Other forces attached to Qinghou also followed suit.
Duguxiu's eyes suddenly turned cold, which part of the song was sung, the empress mother had long known that Yun Sheng did not know how to fight, nor did she "know" magic, and suddenly, the intention of proposing a competition could not be more obvious.
Among the noble ladies attending the cuckoo banquet today, they either know magic, or dou qi, or nothing, and Yun Sheng is the only one.
"Father, I'm afraid there might be something wrong with this matter," Duguxiu wanted to push back.
"Xiu'er, on the battlefield, you men have the final say, but in this harem, you still have to obey your mother. Men rule the country, women rule the harem, if you dare not even participate in a small cuckoo banquet competition, why? Convince the public," Qing Hou glanced at Duguxiu, and was very displeased between the words.
Before Donghuangsheng got started, Xio'er openly disobeyed her wishes in public. After that, after that woman came in and had children, she was going to climb on top of her.
Duguxiu and Qinghou confronted each other, and for a moment, the smell of gunpowder was full.
"Empress, prince, why are you two arguing? It's better for me to decide. The competition is still a competition, but it's not like before. There are female guests from other countries. Why don't we compare magicians and warriors or ordinary people?" Everyone can compare."
After seeing the young man, Lonely Saint and Duguxiu couldn't stop arguing, and hurriedly acted as a peacemaker.
Donghuangsheng doesn't know how to fight qi or magic, and the whole palace knows it.
Qinghou's targeting of Donghuang Sheng was obviously because of Qing Qiang, but the marriage with Donghuang Dynasty was facilitated by Dugu Sheng. After weighing the pros and cons, he was not easy to offend on both sides, and he wanted to protect both sides.
"Your Majesty is wise, Qing Qiang has an idea, why not compare it with archery," Qing Qiang saw and proposed an idea.
Archery is a kung fu that pays attention to skill and eyesight, and it really doesn't care about grudges and magic.
After listening to Duguxiu, he looked at Yun Sheng again.
Yun Sheng's face was calm, and he made an indifferent gesture: "I don't care about the comparison, but the content of the competition has changed. Whether the result of the competition should be changed or not should be made clear in advance."
"Of course it is necessary. The content of the competition can be accommodated, but this last place cannot be changed," Qinghou said fiercely in his eyes.
According to the usual practice, the last place in the Rhododendron Banquet is to be used as flower fertilizer.
The female guests present, except for Qing Qiang, all showed some reluctance at this time.
Yun Sheng saw it in his eyes and smiled coldly in his heart.
"Do as the Romans do, do as the Empress thinks is good," Yun Sheng smiled.
It seems that this Qinghou intends to let her be a flower fertilizer, and that's okay, if you don't give this group of people some color, they really don't know "why Hua'er is so popular."
