Chapter 493: Winter Family Feast
If the heart can be engraved, what about the heart?
Fortunately, these princesses of the emperor have grown up cautiously since childhood, and the emperor is indifferent to them and their mothers, so that they have not been able to develop such a high-flying and domineering temperament, and now they are not as bold as a Miss Yin.
Yes, before the emperor came, although there was a faint smell of gunsmoke in this banquet, it could still be held back, and there was no chaos.
Just looking at Concubine Chen's appearance coldly, I'm afraid that whoever can't hold their breath and make an accident is the big drama she is most looking forward to seeing today.
Qi Nian drank another glass of wine and suppressed the strange emotions in his eyes, since Concubine Chen is so good-looking and lively, then she can't let Concubine Chen down, isn't it.
I'm afraid that today's excitement will change from now on in this Nanzhao country.
When I was young, I heard the report from the inner and inner supervisors outside the palace, "The emperor has arrived-"
Led by Concubine Chen, everyone left the table to bow down and bow, and shouted long live in their mouths.
The emperor really put Concubine Chen in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to any of them, but walked in front of Concubine Chen, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and took her to the throne, then he looked around and said indifferently: "Let's be even." ”
Qi Nian's eyes swept lightly when he stood up, but he saw that the concubines in the palace were all as usual, and no one saw any surprise and resentment.
From this, it can be seen that the emperor has always treated Concubine Chen so kindly and unabashedly, and the people in the palace are used to it.
After the emperor had spoken, everyone re-seated. The atmosphere at this banquet was a little less casual and a little more restrained than just now.
Seeing this, Concubine Chen ordered: "The emperor has arrived, so I told the imperial chef not to wait any longer, bring up all the pots, and everyone will eat warmer." ”
Although the temperature in the south is not as cold as in the north, it is still wet and cold in winter, and if you get sick because of this, you will be suffering from illness for the rest of your life.
It is in the winter of the palace, every time there is a banquet and drink, the pot must be boiled and eaten warmly during the banquet, but it can ward off the cold than the charcoal brazier.
The inner supervisor who was waiting to be sent was hurriedly ordered to go down and give orders. In just a moment, a series of ten brocade pots were presented from the imperial dining room, boiling and warming at the bottom of the pot with silver carbon, which was really fragrant and fragrant, and people couldn't help but move their index fingers and open their appetites.
When serving the pot, the emperor also said a few thoughtful words with a pleasant face, and pulled Li Jinjian to carefully ask many questions about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Such an obvious attention suddenly made everyone in the banquet turn their eyes to him again.
Li Jin saw that he had been in the palace for several years, so he was naturally very good at dealing with these words that were either knocked or said wrongly, and the more personable and extraordinary he was, the more the princesses who were in the flower season and whose love was beginning to bloom were secretly in his heart.
Qi Nian only looked at all this coldly, sneered a few times in his heart, and then looked at it as if it were nothing.
This Emperor of the Southern Zhao Kingdom is really affectionate and ruthless, for the sake of his beloved woman and their children, he can use his other children, such a cold and unscrupulous person, it is really chilling.
Aside from the intrigue and intrigue at this banquet, this ten brocade pot is really delicious and stomach-warming, and it is very comfortable to eat.
Concubine Chen sat in a high position, and saw that Qi Nian was no longer as eager to protect Li Jinjian as before, but watched from the sidelines, and she was also very anxious in her heart.
After all, today's banquet is a trap, if the other party doesn't take the bait and doesn't get into the trap, then how should they use the next strategy?
But no matter how anxious she was, such a family banquet for a few people would not last long, and after noon, they would all disperse.
But the emperor Chrysostom said that he still had a word to say, so he left Li Jinjian and Qi Nian, the two people who couldn't beat each other in the eyes of outsiders.
Tian Yi still felt inexplicable when he left, but he looked at Qi Nian and then at Li Jinjian, and saw that the two of them looked indifferent and didn't care, so he left very obediently without saying anything.
He is still a child, and he always feels that with his father, queen and mother, the day will not fall, and he will not have to bear any burden. But he never thought about it, but this determined his life.
The main hall was soon removed from the banquet, and the emperor led them to the warm pavilion of the side hall.
After giving the seat tea, Qi Nian lowered her eyes and only drank tea quietly, and it was not she who was about to sing a big play, she just had to watch from the sidelines.
Li Jin saw that he had a surprisingly tacit understanding with her this time, and he sat down without saying a word, but he didn't look anxious.
And just seeing that the two of them were so indifferent, Concubine Chen had no confidence in her heart, and only raised her eyes to look at the emperor.
The emperor gave her a reassuring look, and then slowly spoke: "The Seventh Prince is not only a distinguished guest of Nanzhao Kingdom, but also my own nephew, and this relationship is inseparable. Now that it is almost the time of the New Year, your mother must miss you very much after not seeing you for many days. I have a deep love for her brother and sister, and now I haven't seen her for many years, and I really miss her very much. Yes, I ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare a salute team, and when you return to Weiyang Kingdom, this ceremonial team can accompany you. ”
Li Jinjian stood up and said dispensably: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
It's come to this point, and he doesn't even bother to do a perfunctory word.
The emperor waved his hand without caring at all, "You sit." I and Concubine Chen left the two of you here for tea today, just to talk to you, and have no other meaning. ”
So quickly, he pointed his words at Qi Nian, but Qi Nian was still drinking tea properly, but he didn't take it to heart.
Li Jinjian replied without squinting, "Please make it clear to the emperor." ”
"The previous things between you, this palace has more or less heard about it, and almost all of them have understood. The emperor opened the stubble and didn't say anything more, but Concubine Chen smiled and said: "Now Nian'er is like her own daughter under the knees of this palace, and this palace naturally does not want to treat her lightly." ”
With such a name, Qi Nian also had to stand up and bless, "Erchen, thank you for your concubine." ”
At the same time, as if they had made an appointment, Li Jin also bowed, a slight smile appeared between his eyebrows, and said loudly: "Then this king will thank Niangniang first." ”
Seeing this, Concubine Chen couldn't help but raise her eyes and glance at the emperor.
The relationship between the two of them was clearly unusual, as was evident from the beginning. And when Concubine Chen had just revealed a little bit of words, they were in a hurry to thank her, it seemed that this general direction was good.
Why, then, did they behave so coldly before?
