The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

When Xiuyan asked Shen Zhaoxue to talk about this matter, she hesitated in her heart. In fact, she didn't really want to participate in such a grand event. She was afraid that if she didn't perform well, she would lose face to the general. She was not very confident, especially When she thought of what might be going on between the princess and the general, she felt even more conflicted. When she was in prison, the general was not there. What happened and why did the princess let her go without hesitation? This question has always existed. In Shen Zhaoxue's mind, she repeated over and over again, unable to think clearly.

"Okay, don't worry about it. I'm still here. With my backing, you'll be fine. The banquet at night is just to see the world. I want to see the real face of the princess of the Western Regions." Woolen cloth."

Shen Zhaoxue forced a smile, and responded, comforting herself in her heart, don't think too much, just let nature take its course, if the general is willing to tell her, he will naturally tell her one day, if you don't want to, you don't have to force it.

Sima Yun received a message from the master at the training ground. She had to leave the training ground early today, and she had already expected this.

"Why did the princess of Kucha suddenly visit?" Wei Xue muttered to herself.

"Maybe he coveted our general's beauty, so he followed him all the way." Qin Sun joked.

Sima Yun put away the envelope, raised his eyes and said calmly, "I'll leave it to you here."

"Yes, General, you can go to the dinner without worry!" Wei Xue clasped her fists.

Seeing the general leaving, Qin Sun folded his arms, "I really want to see the face of the princess of the Western Regions too, I'm really curious."

"You are not a family member of an official of the third rank or above in the imperial court. I am afraid you will not have this opportunity." Wei Xue poured cold water on him unceremoniously.

Putting on the splendid and splendid dress that she would not part with on weekdays, combing her delicate hair in a bun, pointing her vermilion lips, and bending her willow eyebrows, looking at her own attire in the mirror, Shen Zhaoxue couldn't help thinking back to the day of her wedding, even though the general didn't come back Paying a visit to the church is a great regret she has always had.

Rachel took a comb and gently combed her long hair hanging down her back, and couldn't help but admire, "Miss is so beautiful today."

At this moment, there was movement outside the door, and the two turned their heads at the same time, only to see the general standing at the door, with a tall figure standing there like a cedar, "It's time to go." Sima Yun said, His eyes lit up when he saw her.

Shen Zhaoxue nodded, stood up slowly, and stretched her skirt, "General, does Zhaoxue look this good?"

"...Let's go when you pack up." Sima Yun hurriedly finished speaking and turned around, silently covering his beating heart with one hand.

She felt a little disappointed when she didn't get a response, so Rachel hurriedly comforted her, "The general must be embarrassed. Rachel's eyes lit up just now when the general saw the young lady."

Tonight's dinner is the first grand banquet held by the new emperor who has been on the throne for less than a year. The whole country attaches great importance to it. It can not only reflect the majesty of a big country, but also convey friendship and establish friendship.

Officials entered the arena one after another, taking their seats according to the order and number plate. There are also subtle differences between different ranks. For example, the seats of first-rank officials are close to His Majesty, second-rank and third-rank officials are deduced to the door.

All of Sima's family had arrived, except for the old lady who had long since stopped going to this kind of vanity fair, the three members sat down as they had arrived.

People from the Shen family also came, and Shen Zhaoxue also saw her father, mistress, and second aunt in the back seat.

"Zhaoxue!" Xiuyan who was on the opposite side waved at her, very excited.

Just as Shen Zhaoxue responded with a small wave of her hand, she saw Su Guogong knocking off Xiuyan's hand, muttering as if she was blaming her for being inappropriate regardless of the occasion.

Thinking about it, it was really embarrassing for Xiuyan, who never liked to follow the rules, she will be forced to be "honest" for a while tonight.

Meng Xianglan showed off in the circle of officials and wives. After all, not everyone is qualified to participate in a national feast like tonight.

But when she saw that lowly girl Shen Zhaoxue sitting in front of her, she felt a little resentful.

Shen Qiwen patted the back of her hand as a reminder, "Tonight's seats are all arranged according to official rank, and Zhaoxue's child is the wife of a first-rank garrison general, so naturally she must be above us."

Afterwards, Meng Xianglan could only mutter in a low voice, "It's true that a pheasant can be a phoenix these days."

Mrs. Wang at the side heard this, and couldn't help saying, "Sister, don't you want to compare with that child Zhaoxue, they are already juniors."

Hearing this sentence, Meng Xianglan was very dissatisfied. It was intentional to prevent her from going down the steps, so she replied lightly, "Oh, I don't know when my Zhao'an will come out. According to her official rank, she should also sit in Zhaoping's house." Go up."

Madam Wang took a sip of tea and ignored her.

Not long after speaking, His Majesty appeared in front of everyone, followed by several concubines.

At the same time, all the officials and ministers present and their family members bowed their hands and bowed their heads in salute, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The female relatives need to kneel down and salute, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."

Xiao Qi sat down on the dragon chair, Su Changjin, Shen Zhaoan and Shen Zhaoping each found their own seats, he raised his hand, "Let's get flat."

Shen Zhaoxue noticed that there was an exquisite seat in front, and two servants from the Western Regions stood behind them, presumably there should be a special seat for the princess.

As soon as he thought this way, the father-in-law outside announced loudly, "Princess Kucha is invited!"

At the same time, almost everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the door.

In the meeting in the early morning, Aria wore a veil, but in the evening she took off her veil to show politeness. Everyone present, except for Shen Zhaoxue and Sima Yun, should have seen the princess's true face.

Under everyone's expectations, Alia came here wearing the special clothes of the Kucha country, with a red mole on her eyebrows, which made her look even more coquettish, and her graceful figure walked like a twisting and twisting snake.

Su Xiuyan's eyeballs were suddenly attracted by this woman, she felt that tonight was not in vain.

After walking this way, all the ministers praised it one after another, it is really beautiful, and it is so beautiful.

At this time, Aria stopped and saluted in the way of the Kucha Kingdom, "Aria has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Ann."

Xiao Qi nodded and raised her hand to signal, "Princess, you are welcome, please sit down."

Aria bowed her head, turned around and walked towards her seat, and sat down slowly. Shen Zhaoan happened to be sitting diagonally opposite her, and could see all this clearly. Another fairy came. In her eyes, everything that appeared in The pretty women in front of His Majesty are all fairies who might compete with her, and they are all her enemies.

Arya sat down, and then shifted her gaze to Sima Yun who was not far away. Shen Zhaoxue saw this scene, and not only looked sideways at the general's reaction.

But the general didn't respond, Aria could only look away, and glanced at Shen Zhaoxue again, her eyes were full of deep meaning, which Shen Zhaoxue couldn't understand.

After receiving the message, the father-in-law in the hall yelled, "Serve the delicious food."

As soon as the words fell, the court ladies entered the palace one after another, lined up in a long line, orderly, and all the dishes in their hands were specially designed by the imperial chef of the imperial dining room for tonight's dinner.

Then a team of singing and dancing performances entered the hall again. The girls were all dressed up and tried their best to be the best one tonight. After all, for many of them, this opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit was very It may fly on a branch and become a phoenix, and it will flourish from then on.

Ariya shook her head repeatedly, expressing her displeasure, and instead of hiding it, she turned to the emperor sitting on top and said, "Your Majesty, is the music performance in the Central Plains only at this level?"

Xiao Qi snorted, "What's the princess' opinion on this? I ordered them to go down and improve."

Aria didn't beat around the bush, she put down her glass and stood up, "Why don't Aria make a fool of herself and dance for everyone."

"Very good, very good." Xiao Qi smiled cheerfully.

Walking to the center, Aria said to the maid playing the piano, "Just play whatever you want."

Forced by her aura, the waitress nodded obediently, not daring to neglect her at all.

Immediately after the melodious music sounded, Aria's figure began to dance in the center of the hall.

At that moment, Su Xiuyan was almost dumbfounded.
