Chapter 327: The Banquet Begins

"Well, His Highness's mind is really cautious, and Lan'er is ashamed of herself. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yulan said that she snuggled her whole delicate body in Lin Nan's arms, and then several other lovely people were also happy, and Lily Yan said: "Now that the husband has a plan, let's work hard for the husband's plan." ”

"Now that Li'er and Sweetheart are training subordinates for Lin Nan, Xiaohuan is also helping me outside the palace, Lan'er, Xiang'er, Xiaoyue, the three of you can't be idle. Lin Nan thought about it for a while, said the tasks of a few people, glanced at the three of Xiaoyue meaningfully, and smiled evilly: "Then the prince will decide, and you three little people will be responsible...... Well, he is responsible for accompanying this prince and is not allowed to go anywhere. After Lin Nan finished speaking, while they were unprepared, they pounced like hungry wolves, the three of them smiled coquettishly, and all avoided Lin Nan, Tianxiang made a ghost test to Lin Nan, spit ****, and said angrily: "Dead hairball, if you don't take it seriously for a day, you will bully us, sisters." We joined forces to bully him. Tianxiang smiled softly, glanced at Yulan and Xiaoyue, and immediately the three of them rubbed their fists and smiled at Lin Nan.

Lin Nan looked at the menacing appearance of these three little babies, raised his head with fists with both hands, and made a very embarrassed expression, Yulan looked at it, covered his mouth and chuckled: "Your Highness, surrender so soon." ”

"Hmph, do you dare not admit defeat when the three of us sisters go out. Tianxiang touched her chin and said triumphantly.

"Will this prince admit defeat, hehe, let you taste the power of this prince. Lin Nan saw that they were now in an unguarded state, his heart was happy, he licked the corners of his mouth, turned his fists into palms, smiled evilly, and attacked towards the Tianxiang closest to Lin Nan......

Soon after, Lin Nan left the five of them, Lily and the Demon Emperor, and several of them returned to the palace.

Of course, it's the road of the criminal department, if you still take the big detour in the garden, it is estimated that you don't want to sleep tonight, and the builder of that road doesn't know what the purpose is, so many bends have to go around, but think about it carefully, this road has the imperial garden and Linquan Lake in the past, if you don't go around the tunnel, you have to dig deep ground, because the water in that area is dense, the soil is loose, and it is easy to collapse.

Now there is still half a year before leaving the palace, Lin Nan still has enough time to build ships, but before that, he has to be fooled by everyone Lin Nan has a good Miru, Lin Nan is thinking about this aspect of things all the way, it seems that the time has to ask for more workers, not only boatmen, Lin Nan also has many other types, otherwise this matter will be exposed, and it will be difficult to explain at that time.

Coming out of the criminal department, Lin Nan broke up with a few lovely people, Tianxiang and Yulan went back to the palace to rest, today they are also very tired, Lin Nan doesn't want to be gentle with them anymore, and Xiaohuan, because it is inconvenient to spend the night in the palace, she secretly went out of the city along the way she came, in fact, the palace has a path to the outside world, this is still the road that Xiaohuan found after leaving the palace, it is from the back of the imperial dining room, she doesn't say this place, Lin Nan really didn't find it, but with such a small road, it will be much more convenient for Lin Nan to sneak out to play in the future.

It is easy to get out of there with Lin Nan's light skills, this time Xiaohuan entered the palace to see Lin Nan It is really a big risk, Lin Nan does not dare to stay with her for a night, if she is caught, it will be difficult to do, so Lin Nan did not keep her much, she also knows the seriousness of the problem, so she did not force her to stay, but it is very reluctant.

Seriously, Lin Nan was really happy to meet Xiaohuan this time, and she would be able to meet her outside the palace next year, so Lin Nan was not in a hurry, of course, in order to persuade her this, Lin Nan spent a lot of words, and she went out of the palace safely.

Now that everything is done, Lin Nan and Xiaoyue will go back to Zeling Palace, the first thing they will do after going back is to take a shower first, and then sleep well, they are really tired today.

Lin Nan slept heavily that night.

Unconsciously, a few days have passed in a flash of the secret road, and now Lin Nan is relaxed and comfortable, everything at both ends is arranged, only the ship is just needed, and now Lin Nan is idle all day long and has nothing to do.

In short, now just waiting for the east wind to blow, Lin Nan will beat the war drums, and before that, he wants to have fun to his heart's content.

In the past few days, the five subordinates and Lianyue are still in retreat and cultivation, and when Lin Nan had nothing to do two days ago, he went to take a look, and found that their spirits were much better than usual, and their faces were ruddy, presumably because of the effect of the thousand-year-old ice bed, and the rivers and lakes said that good things must be good, and then Lin Nan went a few more times, and found that there was no problem, so he went less, so as not to disturb them.

And Liu Yuxi and Kong Yu also have several courtiers to help Lin Nan, and it is very useful to have someone in the palace to help speak, not to mention the number, now wait for the plan of the March banquet, as long as it is successful, Lin Nan's power in the palace is invincible, but this matter has to be low-key, and Lin Nan still understands the reason for shooting the first bird.

And Xia Yi and the two strangers are also going very smoothly in practice, the thirty strong men have become honest and tight since they were threatened and intimidated by Lin Nan last time, and they don't dare to make a sound, and now the third emperor brother Xia Yi is in command of them, that guy has actually become the captain, this little fat man is now mingling with those people, he is their leader, and the two foreigners sometimes listen to him, this kid is now showing his talent, and he will definitely make a difference in the future.

And Xiaoyue, she is also very obedient now, since she knew about Taoyuan Palace in the secret way, she didn't say a word, she was very sensible, which made Lin Nan feel a lot more relieved, in short, everything is going smoothly now, all according to Lin Nan's chess moves, which makes Lin Nan's heart feel crooked.

Lin Nan just got up on this day, and Xiaoyue was gentle, and was about to take her to visit the imperial garden, as soon as she went out of the door, the eunuch who passed the word came and asked Lin Nan to participate in the celebration of the translation hall, this matter Lin Nan also mentioned it in the secret road and Yulan a few days ago, I didn't expect it to start so soon, Lin Nan has nothing to do these days is waiting for the arrival of this day, and as soon as the banquet is held, Lin Nan can take this opportunity to bring up the shipbuilding matter.

In fact, Lin Nan can talk to the old emperor alone, but because Lin Nan has a large number of Miru mines, if he doesn't let the civil and military officials know about it first, I'm afraid that some people will be suspicious in the future, especially the second prince, since the incident of the secret road, Lin Nan always feels that this person is not simple.

The translation hall only lasted for a few days, and a few people were able to communicate with strangers simply, which made the old woman very happy, so she decided to hold this celebration banquet. The ministers who went to participate this time are the most ever, which mainly has the prestige of daring the old woman, the authority of the old woman in the palace is actually above the old emperor, mainly the old emperor is very dependent on her for everything, and it is really spoiled to say that it is not good, and this old woman is spoiled, today is very important for civil and military officials, all the harem and the Ministry of Rites are busy, in addition to the major officials and courtiers, hundreds of concubines and beauties in the harem, dragon sons and dragon girls, and relatives of the emperor all have to participate, because everyone knows the temper of the old woman, and those who do not give face are killed, and those who can't be killed have to be in prison and live in the cold palace, so no one dares to be absent。

The old emperor is also a person who loves face, this is clear to everyone, he specially ordered everyone to pay attention to the image, must show the style of the Great Shang Dynasty, for which he also invited a lot of friends to help the fun, every time there is a banquet he is always indispensable to those wanderers, chivalrous buddies, it is really righteous enough.

The banquet was not held there last time, but it was set up in the most majestic Jinhui Hall in the palace, there were nearly a thousand seats, and the officials of a certain grade in Beijing had arrived, the eldest prince and the second prince were the first to come, these two Lin Nan were very unhappy when they saw it, they are now Lin Nan's biggest enemy, but they don't know.

The emperor likes to pay attention to pomp, this is the first time to hold a banquet for foreign affairs, so it is particularly grand and exquisite, the members of the imperial family and officials of all sizes have given new court clothes, and the guards standing guard at the door have all changed their clothes, holding shiny spears standing all inside and outside the imperial city, and even the palace maids and eunuchs who pour tea and wine have also put on brand new clothes.

It's just that I don't know if those royal tailors are tired and half dead, but after taking on such a big task, presumably the silver taels rewarded by the old emperor are enough for these people to be happy for a while.

Half an hour before the banquet began, everyone had already arrived one after another, the Queen Mother was invited, no one dared to be late, if something happened, a moment and a half late, maybe you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Lin Nan and Yulan sat in the royal area, Lin Nan was supposed to sit with her mother, but her mother had a few sisters and concubines on the other side, and they went to chat, probably about mahjong, it was really depressing, and her mother was now a real gambler.

Soon after sitting down, Xia Yi ran in and sat next to a few people, he was a mother-in-law, as soon as he sat down, he talked endlessly about his training results in the past few days, Lin Nan kept nodding his head, humming grace in his mouth, Lin Nan was most concerned about those ministers now, and he didn't listen to his words much. After a while, there was a commotion in the hall, and I only heard countless greetings such as "Hello Wang Chen", "Lord Li has not seen you for a long time", "I have admired for a long time", "I am fortunate to be happy" and so on. Seriously, this is the first time Lin Nan has seen such a grand scene when he came to this plane, except for the Spring Banquet and the Chongyang Banquet at the end of the year every year, there are rarely such grand banquets.

This time, all the big officials have arrived, Lin Nan has finally seen enough of the courtiers in the capital, plus Lin Nan's ability to never forget, everyone who has been seen by Lin Nan will not forget it.

Lin Nan observed for a long time before he saw that the seating arrangement was clever, in a happy and festive atmosphere, most of the officials were actually divided into several circles, and the circles were clearly separated from each other, and there was almost no intersection, presumably this was the major factions in the court.

And the strange thing is that the power of the eldest brother and the second emperor brother is very distributed, but I can't see which ones are their people, and soon Lin Nan also saw Kong Yu and Liu Yuxi coming, Liu Yuxi became Lin Nan's adviser, everyone in the court and the middle of the court knew it, and the second emperor brother also knew that he didn't seem to suspect anything, but he just felt that it was Lin Nan who Liu Yuxi took refuge in, not Lin Nan who specially accepted him.

As soon as they came, they sat in their respective positions, Kong Yu was sitting in a large pile of courtiers, presumably that was the largest group of influence in the palace he said, and Liu Yuxi was Lin Nan's adviser and naturally sat behind Lin Nan, but Lin Nan watched for a long time, and he sat alone with Lin Nan, hehe, no one can notice Lin Nan now.

As everyone knows, Lin Nan's forces may also have a small number of courtiers, and while Lin Nan was observing, he only heard the cloud card being struck, and then the bells and drums rang in unison, and the most important people today, the old woman and the old emperor, appeared.

The audience was suddenly silent, silent, kneeling on the ground with a brush, with a eunuch's voice "Welcome to the emperor, welcome the queen mother." The audience immediately shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live! At this time, the old emperor walked into the hall with the old woman from the side hall, looked at the grand scene and the civil and military officials in one place with satisfaction, sat on the high dragon chair, waved his hand, and naturally someone shouted for him: "No courtesy." Everyone shouted in unison: "Long live Xie" The sound of thousands of people together and the echo in the room made it even more extraordinary.

Lin Nan secretly paid attention, the corners of the eldest and second emperor's mouths showed imperceptible smiles, probably wanting to be the emperor, looking treacherous, and when everyone got up and re-entered the table, the eunuch shouted again: "The emperor has an order, the banquet begins, and the foreign guests are here." "Because there is a banquet today, Jerry and Toms did not practice, so they probably came here early to prepare.

As soon as the words fell, the two of them walked in according to the rehearsal led by a little eunuch, although they had already told them that there would be many officials present. I still can't help but be overwhelmed by the huge crowd.

In the foreign continent, they are not upper-class people, they have not experienced much of the world, where have they seen so many officials and nobles gathered together, even when they first met the saint, there were only about three or four hundred people, compared with today, it was very different, the two came to the field and looked up to see the emperor sitting on the golden dragon chair without anger, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted in jerky Chinese: "See the emperor." This sentence is still taught by Lin Nan, the two of them are wearing the most aristocratic Western-style clothes sewn for them today, and they can imagine the most aristocratic Western-style clothes, with a long sword tied around their waists, which looks quite unusual, which caused a lot of discussion in the hall, but fortunately, there was an announcement in advance, and no one dared to point fingers at them.

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand at the two of them, and the eunuch next to him spoke: "Flat." Then the eunuch said, "Please give a gift to Jerry." Lin Nan wanted to laugh when he heard the word Shaoxia, but he still held back, hearing this, Jerry, who was a little nervous, finally recovered a little, and according to the requirements of several people, he untied his sword and handed it over.
