Chapter 1428: To each according to his needs
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and smiled, looking at Ulina's eyes full of relief and distress.
Lin Wan looked at Wu Lina, who was feasting, and she also had a great appetite, picked up the chopsticks, and ate happily.
After eating, Lin Wan and Wu Lina went to bed and took a nap together, and the two of them lay on the bed side by side next to each other.
Lin Wan gently hugged Ulina and listened to Ulina talk about life in Daman Mountain, about the good people and good deeds that Jiao Nu did for the old people and children around him, and also told about the legend of the mountain god of Daman Mountain.
Ulina slowly fell asleep as she spoke, and Lin Wan gradually fell asleep.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Bing'er quietly woke up Lin Wan. Lin Wan got up lightly and walked out of Ulina's room, leaving Nu Xin to stand by her bedside.
Lin Wan returned to her room, changed into a white palace dress, and re-combed a simple hairstyle, with elegant makeup, but bright and moving.
Everything was ready, Lin Wan walked out of the Wanxin Hall with Bing'er and Qingtong, got into the soft sedan chair in the palace, and was personally escorted by Jiang Tian, the commander of the guards, to the banquet hall.
The hall was already brightly lit, and the people were almost there. Lin Wan was late, and he didn't want to alarm anyone, so under the guidance of Xinhe, he slowly walked from the side of the main hall to the front high platform.
In the middle of the high platform, Ximen Longao and Ximen Hucheng sat side by side, laughing loudly, brothers and brothers, and drinking together.
Zhou Chengkuan and Jin Ruoxin had already arrived, and Zhou Chengkuan sat with Ximen Yuqing, Lan Ziheng, Ximen Yuling, Ximen Yumin and others. And there was still an empty seat next to Jin Ruoxin, which was obviously reserved for Lin Wan.
Ning Cai'er and Ren Piaopiao sat together, Lu Manting and Hong Xiaotian sat together, and the envoys from various countries in the audience, including the moonlight county lord and Xu Nuo and others that Lin Wan was familiar with, also sat among the envoys from various countries.
The officials of the third rank and above of Xiling Kingdom, as well as their families, sat in the stands on both sides. Young sons and ladies gathered together, playing and laughing.
This time the banquet was very lively, and there were many more people than the previous ones, and everyone had already taken their seats, chatting and laughing with their friends.
Lin Wan walked to the front of the stage and blessed Ximen Longao from afar, and saw Ximen Longao smiling and nodding, before slowly walking to Jin Ruoxin's side and sitting down.
In the field, the dancing girls are singing and dancing slowly, pushing cups and changing lamps in the stands, talking very happily, each taking what they need, and having their own fun.
Lin Wan was in a good mood, and he and Jin Ruoxin frequently raised their glasses, and went to toast the Moonlight County Lord. Although he drank grape wine, he gradually became drunk, his cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were foggy, and his mind was in chaos.
In a daze, I saw Lu Manting and Hong Xiaotian walking over together, followed by a palace maid, holding a tray in her hand, and a wine jug and two wine glasses were placed in the tray.
Lu Manting and Hong Xiaotian each held a wine glass in their hands, and walked over to Lin Wan and Jin Ruoxin with a smile, obviously to toast.
Lin Wan couldn't help frowning, only to feel that his head hurt even more, thinking in his heart that if he drank two more cups, he was afraid that he would collapse.
Jin Ruoxin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Lu Manting and Hong Xiaotian came over to toast in front of so many people, even if they didn't want to drink this wine, they couldn't push it off, unless they wanted to be the focus of the banquet, and everyone talked about it after dinner.
Hong Xiaotian seemed to have drunk a little too much, and his steps were a little unsteady, and he took the lead in front of Lin Wan and Jin Ruoxin, with a smile on his face, and said heartily: "Her Royal Highness Princess Wan, Her Royal Highness Princess Qinxin, Tian'er is the youngest, and she should come to toast the two sisters." It's too late, so I'll punish myself with a glass first. As he spoke, he raised his head and drank all the wine in his glass.
Lu Manting walked to Jin Ruoxin's side and sat down with a smile, making it clear that she was accompanying Hong Xiaotian to toast and did not plan to participate in it.
Jin Ruoxin beckoned to Hong Xiaotian and smiled gently: "Sister Tian'er, you don't have to be so polite, and you don't have to be respectful." Come and sit down, and the sisters and I sat together, enjoying the singing and dancing while drinking slowly. ”
Hong Xiaotian shook his head with a smile, turned around and picked up the wine jug, filled himself with another glass, then picked up the glass of wine that had already been prepared in the tray, walked up to Lin Wan, stretched out his arm, handed it to Lin Wan, and said with a coquettish expression: "Sister Wan'er and I hit it off at first sight, no matter what, we have to choose a cup to respect Sister Wan'er, drink this cup first, and then we will sit down and have a drink." ”
Lin Wanwan smiled, did not take the wine glass in Hong Xiaotian's hand, but picked up his own wine glass, stood up, shook his head, raised his eyebrows and smiled with a pun: "Her Royal Highness Princess Hongde came to toast this princess so solemnly, how can this princess stand it? You are the princess of Nanyue Kingdom, I am the princess of Dafeng Kingdom, and they all represent their own countries to participate in the concubine selection feast." Although we are sisters in private, but on such occasions, every word and deed represents our own country, if I am so proud and drink your toast, will I not be the subject of others?"
Hong Xiaotian was stunned by Lin Wan's words, and he didn't understand what Lin Wan meant by going around and around, but he knew that Lin Wan meant that he didn't want to drink the glass of wine in her hand, so he said in a daze: "Sister Wan'er, there is no poison in this wine." ”
Lin Wan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Hong Xiaotian to be so straightforward. Although she was indeed afraid that the wine was poisonous, she was still a little embarrassed to be said directly by Hong Xiaotian. He smiled, shook his head, took the wine handed over by Hong Xiaotian, and put it on the table. Then, he pulled Hong Xiaotian to sit down beside him, and said proudly: "Sister Tian'er, you and I are so in love, how can we drink just one glass?
When Hong Xiaotian heard this, his eyes lit up, he nodded happily, raised his wine glass, touched the wine glass in Lin Wan's hand, and drank the wine in his cup happily.
Lin Wan chuckled and shook his head, and reluctantly raised his glass and drank it all, only to feel that his head was even more dizzy, and something was surging up in his stomach.
Lu Manting applauded on the side, picked up the wine jug in front of Jin Ruoxin, took the initiative to pour wine for Lin Wan and Hong Xiaotian, and praised it with words in her mouth: "I really can't see that Sister Wan'er and Sister Tian'er are huge." I can't drink, but I can pour wine for your two sisters. ”
Lin Wan knew that Lu Manting was pregnant, and she couldn't bear to force her to drink, and she didn't want to embarrass her. Seeing that she was holding the wine jug in front of Jin Ruoxin, she couldn't play any tricks, so she let her pour herself wine. I thought in my heart, let's get drunk if you're drunk, and send Hong Xiaotian away first.
Hong Xiaotian also did not refuse, Lu Manting poured wine, she drank, while drinking, she said vaguely: "Sister Lu, you are so beautiful, I really envy you, my cousin is so good to you, I forgot about my cousin......"
