The west wing hall of Taihe Palace

In the evening, King Oss improvised a banquet in the west wing hall of Taihe Palace to invite the ministers who attended the court-China meeting today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The scale of the banquet was not grand, but because of the tight time, the palace people and maids were in a hurry to prepare.

Just after everyone attended, five roast whole sheep and five roast whole pigs were carried in by the palace people in twos and twos.

That's all there is to the menu, which is very simple, but it is delicious and there are excellent wines to match.

The lamb is charcoal-grilled to a golden crisp, flavorful and fragrant aroma, filled with fresh mushrooms and onions sprinkled with black pepper, and the fresh fragrance of lime permeates the West Chamber.

The suckling pig is roasted to a sauce-red sauce and stuffed with sizzling piping sausages and bell peppers, filled with cheese and butter in the gaps.

With a "grunt", Carter George couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the dinner knife gently cut off a piece of crispy and tender lamb, and slowly sent it to his mouth, and feasted on the belt meat.

The delicious mutton was crispy and tender, cooked but not greasy, and a little bit of crystal juice overflowed from his mouth, not to mention the sweet and delicious.

Oss raised his glass slightly in the direction of Carter George, and Carter George's mouth, which had been chewing, immediately froze there, and a stirring spirit came back to his senses, quickly got up, respectfully picked up the wine glass in front of him, smiled innocently, and then raised his head to drink.

The moonlit night was quiet, and the pale yellow moonlight sparkled and fluctuated on the water.

Man'er was dressed as a dark blue maid, she blinked a pair of bright eyes and looked left and right, vigilantly observing the surroundings, for a moment, her smart eyes suddenly turned, more like a silent decision, her figure flashed, and quietly disappeared into the night.

She climbed neatly onto a tall and straight poplar tree by the palace wall, and her body swung lightly with the strength of a branch, and her graceful and slender figure was like a gecko, climbing on the surface of the steep wall. The mottled walls had several protrusions to climb, so she climbed to the top of the walls with ease.

The palace wall rises from the ground, more than a foot high, Man'er's white boots stepped on the concave and convex at the top of the palace wall, and slowly stood up. She gradually spread her arms, like a swallow, maintaining an astonishing balance.

The palace wall is too high, even if Man'er is a person who is not afraid of heights, but standing at the top of this palace wall, there is no feeling of panic and instability.

Beside her there were lush branches and leaves, some of which stretched jaggedly up to the palace walls, blocking Man'er's path.

Standing on top of the palace wall, one person higher than those tall trees, in the dark night, through the branches and leaves of the big trees, you can vaguely see the dark soil and roots of the trees.

Man'er took a deep breath, trying not to look down any further, focusing on the uneven wall tiles under her feet, and carefully stepping out of the branches and leaves, for fear that she would make a mistake, like stepping into a trap of branches and leaves, and suddenly and embarrassingly fall from between the branches and leaves of the big tree.

As soon as she thought of this, the invisible fear made Man'er's heart beat faster gradually, she bit her lower lip tightly, tried her best to stabilize her mind, and slowly rubbed her steps forward, walking cautiously and fearfully with every step.

The sound of the wind whistling in her ears, Man'er pulled the simple maid's clothes, and suddenly there was a feeling of being cold in a high place, you know, this is different from being in the sea, but there are two completely different feelings.

At the very least, she wouldn't be thrown to her death in the sea.

In the west wing hall of Taihe Palace, the maid behind George respectfully poured the wine cup in front of him again and again, and the clear and transparent wine was rippling in the cup, and Carter George chewed a mouthful of sausages, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and drank it all again.

"Hiccup!" He couldn't help but burp loudly, he had already drunk three rounds.

As the years passed, Carter George's hair became thinner, revealing a glossy forehead, and his fat round face showed a drunken flush.

He pulled out the red silk handkerchief from his cuffs, wiped the grease stains from his wide chin, and straightened his mustache.

Then, he turned his head sideways and said mysteriously to Prince Ander beside him, "Do you know why Your Majesty toasted me just now? ”

Prince Ander is also a man who began to get rich in middle age, but compared to George's obesity, Ander's figure is more burly and strong.

Prince Ender is the uncle of Princess Caterina and the younger brother of her late mother. The reason why Prince Ander and Carter George are so close is because the two have this level of kinship, and secondly, because of the noble status of the Carter family in the royal family, Prince Ander has always maintained an old friend relationship with George.

Hearing George's words, Prince Ander immediately leaned his head over and asked in a low voice, "Why did Your Majesty make a toast?" ”

Prince George suddenly laughed and said firmly: "Your Majesty is obviously apologizing to me for the morning's incident." ”

Prince Ande casually put down the wine cup and said noncommittally: "Your Majesty would do such a thing as apologizing?" ”

George was a little unhappy, exhaled a long breath of wine, and said vaguely, "What? I am Prince Carter, and now the concubine is my eldest sister, and if you talk about generation, I am your majesty's uncle. ”

Seeing that George was already drunk, Prince Ander didn't bother to argue with him, so he had to follow him: "Yes, when it comes to kinship, you are Your Majesty's uncle." ”

George suddenly narrowed his eyes and said strangely, "I said brother, why do you keep repeating what I said?" ”

Prince Ande was slightly stunned, and then said with a dry laugh: "I, did I repeat?" ”

The night was getting darker, the stars were hanging low on the inky blue night, and the cool night breeze was blowing in the face, with the sound of rustling leaves.

Because some time ago, Man'er was the master of Taihe Palace, she knew the location of the Yuhua Palace well, and she had made sufficient preparations in advance, so she took advantage of the night to choose to take the shortcut of the palace wall, and easily touched the Yuhua Palace.

Man'er covered her mouth with the back of her delicate hand and yawned, revealing her tired and tired expression.

This can't be blamed on her for being tired, she is not an iron body, on the one hand, she has to carefully plan how to get the ring back, and on the other hand, she has to deal with the difficult princess, how can this not make her exhausted?

Thinking of this, Man'er could only sigh helplessly, she curled up her body, completely hiding her body in the shadow of the palace wall and the tall tree, waiting boredly.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a column of patrolling guards passing by, and she immediately held her breath and carefully calculated their patrol route.

After pondering for a while, she smiled, "Very good, there is still a pillar of incense before the time of the changing of the guard." ’
