Chapter 351 Playing the ball on the ice
Concubine De quickly explained: "Your Majesty, today we prepared plum blossom wine, which will not make you drunk."
Feng Xuanqi wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Concubine Li: "I have never drunk plum blossom wine before, I want to try it."
Since Concubine Li had spoken, Feng Xuanqi followed her wishes and personally poured her a glass of plum wine.
The hot wine exuded the scent of plum blossoms. Concubine Li picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and nodded: "Your Majesty, this tastes like plum blossom sweet water, you can't tell it's wine. I think Concubine De spent a lot of time preparing plum blossom wine. Your Majesty, please try it too."
After hearing what Concubine Li said, Feng Xuanyi no longer cared about the bird's nest soup.
Feng Xuan didn't blame herself anymore, but Defei still felt empty in her heart, and even the plum wine she drank seemed to become bitter.
After tasting the plum wine, the palace servants began to serve various cakes made with plum blossoms.
At this time, Concubine Li spoke up: "Your Majesty, I have long heard that the young ladies in the capital are good at skills. It is meaningless to just appreciate the plum blossoms. Why not invite the young ladies to perform?"
All the young ladies who came to attend the plum blossom viewing banquet wanted to show up in front of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. When they heard the Imperial Concubine's proposal, they all began to look forward to it.
"Then let them perform a piece." Feng Xuanqi signaled Defei to arrange it.
Su Chenyu watched several performances, but there was nothing particularly outstanding until Bai Xinning came on stage with a sword, which aroused the interest of many people.
Bai Xinning performed a sword dance. Her swordsmanship was only average and her strength was not enough, but she won over Ying Ying and won a lot of applause.
Feng Xuanyi saw that Concubine Li was enjoying the show, so he said after it was over: "Reward!"
Bai Xinning thanked him for the reward and was about to leave when Feng Xuanyi spoke again: "Princess Xinning, I remember that you are not young anymore and it is time for you to get married."
Hearing this, Bai Xinning couldn't help but tighten her grip on the hilt of the sword, but she hadn't seen the Queen Mother's mood recently, so she realized that she couldn't be so willful anymore.
Feng Xuanyi looked at Rong Zhang who was sitting next to him and said, "Prince Rong Zhang, the King of Northern Rong has specially written a letter before, hoping to choose a suitable princess for you in Xixia. Princess Xinning is dignified, sophisticated and generous, which is suitable for you. What do you think?"
Feng Xuanqi was asking Rong Zhang, but did not give Rong Zhang room to refuse. He first put forward the King of Beirong. Unless Rong Zhang wanted to go against the King of Beirong's wishes, he would not dare to refuse this arranged marriage.
How could Rong Zhang not know what Feng Xuanyi was thinking? But since Feng Xuanyi had come to this point, he could not resist. He could only stand up and walk to the middle to thank Feng Xuanyi: "It is Rong Zhang's blessing and Beirong's blessing to marry Princess Xinning."
Bai Xinning had no choice but to follow Rong Zhang and thank Feng Xuanqi for his order.
Su Chenyu witnessed such a farce and felt like laughing. These people were really hypocritical.
One doesn't want to marry, the other doesn't want to get married, but under the imperial power, both have no choice but to submit.
The marriage was going smoothly, and Feng Xuan's mood also improved a lot: "De Fei, will there be an ice skating performance later?"
"Yes, but the ice skating venue is large, so we need to move."
No one wanted to sit here any longer, so they all stood up and went to the ice skating area.
The ice rink was very large, and everyone sat down on the surrounding stands first. Then Feng Xuan asked, "How about we all play a game of ice soccer together today?"
Baili Yanqing asked: "What are the rules of ice Cuju?"
"Each country sends an envoy to the ice. Each country nominates four people, for a total of sixteen people to compete for the ball. Whoever has the ball in his hand at the end of two quarters of an hour is the winner. Of course, if someone is pushed off the ice, it means failure and he is not allowed to play again.
During the entire process, the ball cannot be held in the hand. It can only be held when the timer ends. If someone touches the ball in the middle of the process, it is considered a failure. "
