050:Birthday Banquet (1)
Rong Zhi pondered for a moment, smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, I just followed him for the sake of his old age and poor health!"
Lou Yueqing looked at his posing appearance, snorted, rolled her eyes, virtuous!
If you don't want to say it, don't say it, what kind of score?
Immature!
The second day is Xiao Zhenglin's birthday banquet, the palace has been preparing since dawn, when Lou Yueqing finished breakfast and entered the palace, there were many carriages parked at the palace gate, and there was a steady stream of carriages driving into the palace gate, and in the palace gate, people kept getting off the carriage and walking to the palace.
When Lou Yueqing's carriage arrived, everyone stopped one after another and bowed down to Lou Yueqing to say goodbye.
Lou Yueqing was helped by Rong Zhi to get out of the carriage, and on the carriage behind, Mrs. Ning Guo also took Ling'er out of the carriage, sat on the chariot that came to pick them up, and went to the inner palace.
Seeing their steps far away, there was a burst of exclamation in the palace gate, among which there were many royal relatives and royal wives, but no matter how noble their status was, in this palace city, they could only walk to Bauhinia Square according to the rules, and only this princess could be so special.
How can you not envy such an honor?
Mrs. Ning Guo is inconvenient to go to see the Qianyuan Palace, so she has to go to the imperial concubine of the Changxin Palace, Princess Jingyang and Lanling They are already there, and after separating from Mrs. Ning Guo, Lou Yueqing went to see Xiao Zhenglin, and then rested in the west side hall of the Qianyuan Hall for half an hour, seeing that the birthday banquet at the end of the time was about to begin, Xiao Zhenglin sent someone to invite, Lou Yueqing went to the main hall with Rong Zhi, and went to Bauhinia Square with Xiao Zhenglin.
Approaching noon, the Bauhinia Square has long been full, a huge square is spread with a red carpet everywhere a festive, a big high platform is erected in the middle, there are countless banquet positions on both sides of the high platform, the class level of the banquet arrangement is clear, the royal relatives and palace dependents above and the civil and military officials and the ladies of the various mansions have already sat in the position, the palace people are holding dishes and wine to arrange and place, everyone is waiting for the birthday banquet to begin.
In the upper rows of seats, there are palace concubines and princes, as well as several noble princes and princesses.
The top seat and the few seats on either side of the lower head are still empty.
Suddenly, His Majesty arrived, causing the people on both sides of the seats who were chatting with each other to stop, and then they all got up.
At the entrance of Bauhinia Square, Emperor Luan was slowly carried in, followed by a few sedan chairs, after Luan stopped driving, first Xiao Zhenglin got off the Luan sedan chair with the support of Xiao Yiheng, and then the imperial concubine was helped down by two palace maids and sat in a wheelchair, together with the imperial concubine, as well as Wen Guifei, and the last sedan chair came down Lou Yueqing and Rong Zhi......
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
The uneven but loud sound that soared into the sky resounded throughout Bauhinia Square, echoing in the palace.
Xiao Zhenglin was helped up, and after standing in his position, he said flattened, and then gave him a seat.
Everyone sat down one after another, Lou Yueqing and Rong Zhi sat down in the second position to the right of Xiao Zhenglin's hand, because the above two were the positions of the imperial concubine and Wen Guifei, and Xiao Yiheng was sitting opposite her.
The position of sitting is enough to show her pivotal position in the country and Xiao Zhenglin's unique preference for her.
No one was surprised about where she was sitting, but everyone was very surprised by the appearance of the imperial concubine today.
The imperial concubine's legs and feet are inconvenient, in the past ten years, she has barely been out of the Changxin Palace, and none of the people below have seen her, although she has no longer lived in the palace for the past year, but they are all in the palace, and those women and officials and their dependents enter the palace to ask for peace as usual, and they are only for Wen Guifei to ask for peace, no one has ever seen the imperial concubine, and now the imperial concubine unexpectedly appeared at the birthday banquet, except for those who have seen the imperial concubine more than ten years ago, they are still the first time to see it, and they are curious to look at.
Just now, the imperial concubine got off the sedan chair and was carried down by two palace maids to sit in a wheelchair, and then was carried up the stairs by four guards in a wheelchair to her seat, in order to take care of her situation, her seat was higher than everyone else.
The imperial concubine naturally knew that many people were looking at her, but she didn't seem to feel it, she was sitting there with a look on her face, did she say a few words to Lou Yueqing who was sitting next to her and Xiao Zhenglin above, and there was always a light smile on the corner of her mouth, obviously she was in a good mood.
The birthday banquet was announced, and the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra sounded along with the song and dance, which was very pleasant to listen to.
Since it is a birthday banquet, it is inevitable to toast the birthday, from top to bottom, and the imperial concubine is the first to come.
Seeing Xiao Zhenglin holding up the wine glass, Lou Yueqing frowned, and immediately spoke helplessly: "Father, can you drink!"
Xiao Zhenglin held the wine glass in his hand, a little embarrassed, he hadn't drunk since he was sick......
Coughing lightly twice, Xiao Zhenglin smiled and said busily: "Today's birthday, my father is in a good mood, and a drink is not in the way!"
Lou Yueqing frowned, and said with a straight face: "That's not good, you are not allowed to drink a drop of alcohol now, and you will drink again if you want to drink and get sick!"
Xiao Zhenglin's face fell, and he didn't put it down when he drank it with a wine glass.
Lou Yueqing snorted coldly: "You have forgotten what the Fifth Emperor Brother explained before he came?"
Xiao Zhenglin turned his head to look at Xiao Yiheng on the other side, and when he saw Xiao Yiheng looking at him expressionlessly, he suddenly felt a little weak, so he had to put down the wine glass.
Their voices were not loud, and the people below naturally couldn't hear them, but the surrounding concubines, princes, princes, and princesses all heard it clearly, and they couldn't help but laugh when they looked at this scene.
The imperial concubine also smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, Heng'er and Wuwu are all for your good, your body is not good, it is really not suitable to drink, it is better not to drink, it is better to be careful!"
Xiao Zhenglin immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if I don't drink it, Lu An, withdraw the wine from me!"
Don't drink or look greedy!
Lu An hurriedly responded, and summoned the two palace maids to remove the wine from Xiao Zhenglin's table and replace it with fruit water.
The birthday toast continues.
