Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Stars and the Moon

Everyone in the hall watched silently, and the light at the door became more and more dazzling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It was only a moment for the maid to enter first, and after tidying up the main seat, the old princess, who was belated, slowly walked into the hall with the support of the personal maid. I saw her smile gracefully and said: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, and it is not good to fall when you are old." ”

Everyone smiled and said that the old princess was in good spirits, and her steady steps must be the eternal happiness of longevity and Kangning. Li Jin even heard in the noisy voices that some people praised the old princess for her beautiful face. Although Li Jin admits that the old princess is well-maintained, and people are more lively than people of the same age because of her cheerful and joking personality, such an evaluation is too exaggerated. Li Jin remembered that his father had said that the old princess was as old as her grandmother.

And seeing that the King of Huaiyang and the Lord of Jingyu are not much older than themselves, it is conceivable that the old princess and the old prince who are old and have children will love the two of them like this.

After the old princess sat down, everyone saluted neatly, and although the soft voice of the room was not neat, the momentum was not inferior to the inner courtyard of the palace.

The old princess smiled and asked the guests to sit down one after another, and called the maid to remove the ordinary refreshments from the table and replace them with the carefully prepared food that had been prepared for a long time.

For a while, there were voices of thanks in the hall again, and the group was not lively.

Before the things came up here, the servants outside hurriedly came to report, saying that Jing Min, the county lord of the King of Nanxiang, had arrived. As the report fell, everyone in the hall looked at the door with bated breath and stared at the door, only to see a girl wearing a goose yellow jacket and a white and pink pomegranate skirt, and she appeared in the hall where everyone's eyes converged.

Although the person who came arrived later than the master, it was a good time to pay an impartial greeting when he saw the sky.

The gaze of everyone did not seem to make the girl who stepped forward feel uncomfortable, and there seemed to be a trace of arrogance and arrogance in the steady and calm steps. Li Jin looked at it and felt that under the delicate makeup and a peaceful face, there seemed to be a faint sense of enjoyment, as if such a gaze should be unique to her. But this is only Li Jin's personal feeling, because there is no trace of arrogance on that face.

Just when everyone was waiting with bated breath and the people came to the old princess to salute, they only heard a voice as crisp as a lark: "My niece is visiting my aunt, my aunt is tired of traveling and driving, and today I specially brought a hundred snow lotuses from Millennium Mountain to honor your old man." ”

The old princess didn't wait for the girl to bless herself, so she pulled the person into her arms and said lovingly: "You can come to see your aunt, it is the greatest filial piety, why bother to bring such a valuable gift, your father has this kind of thing is indispensable." ”

When she spoke, the old princess looked at Jing Wen's eyes and seemed to be able to flow honey, and she was completely pampered.

Jing Mintian smiled and received: "My aunt can have a good body is my niece's biggest concern, and my father's brothers and sisters naturally take care of it much better than me." He said as if he was coquettish.

The old princess didn't seem to notice the vinegar in her words, and still spoke considerate words to her niece with pity. Everyone in the hall echoed the words of the two, but there was not a trace of surprise at the late arrival and such noisy behavior of this guest.

Li Jin actually attended such a banquet more cautiously than before after the Moon Worship Festival, so this time is a long-lost reunion between the two deceased. It's just that Li Jin secretly said that Jing Wen's current mood seems to be more than the previous competitiveness.

Li Jin was still sitting in the corner of the window with his mother at this time, although everyone around him was not allowed to intervene because he was quite far away from the main seat, but they were also very attentive to the center in the distance.

Because of Jing Wen's sudden addition and words, everyone in the hall seemed to remember the gifts they brought, and they began to treasure the old princess.

For a while, the hall changed from quiet just now to extreme liveliness.

Just when everyone opened their mouths to please the old princess, the servants had already prepared exquisite refreshments on the small table in everyone's hands.

Li Jin didn't know if her mother had prepared a gift too, but it didn't matter. Now Li Jin can't wait to draw a clear line with the King of Huaiyang immediately, for fear that the emperor's faction will be wary of being co-opted by the King of Huaiyang, and then he can leave, but his parents in the capital will become lambs who are mermaids.

Therefore, even though there are more and more people around him who come to the center by excuse, Li Jin is still leisurely enjoying his own peace, but this peace is not as good as usual. Because I still have a task at this time, I must remember what happened in the hall at this time.

At this time, the center of the attention was discussing this fancy dim sum, and the old princess was full of praise and boasting about a carved ball as pink as a bud in her hand at this time.

"Don't laugh at this little thing, you know that this is a big thing. When the old princess talked about this, the smile between her eyebrows seemed to make everyone who watched it feel the beauty of the food without eating it.

"Snow flour, glutinous rice flour is the most basic, plus ten medium bean noodles, four medium honey fruits, and three kinds of honey to finally get this little bit of something. In terms of craftsmanship, steaming and then baking, with exquisite carving knife work, there can be such a crispy outside and tender inside, and the strength of the lips and teeth is fragrant. ”

"Or your old man has a mouthful, we can't eat such things now, if we can be born back then, we can also see the grand occasion of Yujing Zhai at the beginning of the capital. ”

"Haha, that's although the current master of Yujingzhai is the son of the original chef and the only disciple of the lineage, it's just that I am eating the flower cake that is flourishing now, and it is not as good as the original Rui Xiangtuan. Saying that, the old princess showed that childlike expression again, although she is no longer young, but that vivid expression still makes people feel cute and moving.

"You are also blessed, today this is the pastry chef in the imperial kitchen of the Queen Mother and her old man's house. I heard that this production process is also the same as that of Dangru's fragrant dough, but the flower cake is blooming in the end, and the fragrance is overflowing, but it is difficult to stay in the mouth for a long time, and it is not as shocking as the original. Saying that, the old princess asked everyone to taste the snacks at hand.

The emperor's sentence 'listen more, watch carefully' didn't know what he was referring to, so at this moment, Li Jin could only concentrate on keeping everything in his heart, in case he missed something that the emperor cared about, and it would be difficult to communicate with the emperor next time.

Although he looked at the surface leisurely, Li Jin's forehead already had beads of sweat. In such a cautious and nervous state, a little thing can attract Li Jin's attention, not to mention something related to Li Jin himself.

I only heard two or three people in the distance, it seemed that someone was whispering, and the center of the topic seemed to be the emperor list released a few days ago.

The seating arrangements of the guests in the hall were so meticulous that the topic spread to the entire hall almost with a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally even the center of the highest emotions seemed to change the direction of the conversation.

“…… Yes, I heard that this wedding will be held in the next year?"

"Who said that I heard it was a year ago?"

I don't know whose voice finally caught the attention of the old princess, and immediately turned her face to receive: "Oh, what are you talking about? The New Year is approaching, and the big families are preparing for the New Year at this time, where is the wedding held at this time?"

This sentence had the effect of finalizing the word, and for a while the topic in the entire hall turned here. What was originally a discussion in private has finally gained room to be blatantly raised.

And since this topic began to be heard by Li Jin, the feeling of being secretly snooped on from time to time has not stopped.

At this moment, as the topic changed, the gaze of looking at himself also upgraded from secretly to a bright look.

Li Jin couldn't help frowning in her heart, how could she become the center of the topic again, such a feeling made her irritable.

It's just that Li Jin still doesn't know what to do, and tastes the snacks at hand safely, and the palace hospitality will naturally not favor one over the other, so Li Jin naturally has the old princess boasting of the incense balls in the sky and on the ground.

For a while, everyone who had kept a distance from Li Jin either turned their heads or looked away, and the middle of the place where their eyes gathered was a little distance away from Li Jin's seat, just like the stars guarding the moon.
