In the evening, the banquet was held in the Zhangtai Palace, and everyone sat down after bowing to the emperor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Qing was still arranged to sit next to Lian Mo and sit with him, the main seat on the stage sat the emperor and the queen mother who had just recovered from a serious illness, and on both sides were the concubines of each palace who sat down according to the size of the grade, Emperor Jing got married when he was young, and the queen was the sister of the current prime minister Ling Zong, since the queen died eight years ago, Emperor Jing never mentioned the words of the queen, and the officials had argued about it, and finally had to give up.

Down the steps, the left and right sides sit in order of age to rank the princes, on the left are Lian Che Lian Mo Lian Xiang, on the right are Lian Qi Lian Jin and the thirteen-year-old Nine Emperor Prince Lian An, the Marquis of Xiling and the lord of Bailing are also half royal people, and several princesses who have not yet married sit in the last seat. Coincidentally, Shen Qing and Lian Mo were sitting opposite the third prince Lian Qi and the fifth prince Lian Jin, Lian Qi looked at Shen Qing with a kind of gloomy gaze, her eyes were bent, the red lips under the veil smiled at him, and there were provocation and presumptuousness in her eyes, some things Lian Mo didn't say didn't mean that she was a fool, and the perception of danger that she had cultivated over the years made her unable to repay Lian Qi with kindness.

The eye contact was only for a moment, and he put away the gaze of the yin owl, and looked at Emperor Jing with a gentleman's frank expression.

After the official sang the toast, the emperor adjusted his sitting posture slightly: "I was highly poisoned before, and the doctors were helpless, thanks to Lian Mo who invited the poisonous monster, that is, Miss Cangshan Qing, I was able to sit at this banquet gloomily, this is all the credit of the divine doctor, so I set up this banquet to thank the divine doctor for his regeneration."

Shen Qing got up and came to the palace, and Ying Ying made a salute: "I don't want the emperor's words, practicing medicine to save people is what doctors should do, and what the emperor said is really tormenting the people's daughters." ”

"Hahaha, the divine doctor deserves it, come and give wine."

Wang Gonggong and a little eunuch holding a tray walked over, a bottle of wine jug with a hundred birds and a phoenix on the plate, the spout of the pot was inlaid with a ruby, she bowed down and said: "This wine is the pear blossom brewed beloved by the saint, because of the complexity of brewing, only ten altars a year, the divine doctor please taste." ”

After saying that, he carefully poured a cup from the pot and handed it to Shen Qing with both hands.

Shen Qing thanked the prince and raised his glass like the emperor to thank him: "The people thank the emperor for the wine." ”

She gently lifted the corner of the veil, covered her face with one hand, and drank it from the wine glass, a sweet pear blossom fainted in her mouth, this wine was not spicy at all, only mellow and clear, lips and teeth fragrant.

She exclaimed, "It's a rare wine!" ”

Emperor Jing was satisfied with her compliment, and smiled more and more heartily.

"Everyone here is royal, and today everyone doesn't have to be formal, just drink freely."

"Thank Emperor Longen!"

The beautiful palace maid walked through the banquet, a piece of fragrant clothes and sideburns, all kinds of delicacies and delicacies flowed up, everyone talked and laughed during the banquet, so unhappy, but it is unknown whether the happiness on this face is true or false.

Shen Qing returned to his seat, and the Sixth Prince Lian Xiang beside him stretched out his head, with a eager expression on his handsome face: "Divine Doctor, have you finished drinking alone?" ”

Shen Qing smiled, "If His Royal Highness wants to drink it, take it." ”

Lian Xiang Yile was about to take it, when suddenly a big hand stretched out, Lian Mo picked up the wine glass and poured a glass for himself, and the green wine glass came to his lips and pecked lightly: "His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness has just recovered from a serious illness, and it is better to touch this wine less." ”

Lian Xiang looked aggrieved, "I'm already fine, is it a miracle doctor?" ”

Shen Qing smiled and didn't answer, and Lian Xiang continued: "Isn't Ziqian never drinking? ”

Lian Mo glanced at him and explained in a good mood: "Pear blossom brewing is hard to find, not to mention that this is a wine given by the emperor, which is naturally extraordinary." ”

Lian Xiang muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's not for you, hum." ”

The banquet was staggered, singing and dancing, but she always felt like she was watching an extremely realistic movie, and suddenly, these people seemed to become unreal, like people in the play, and had nothing to do with her.

Lian Mo only drank the pear blossom brew in her hand cup after cup, her white jade-like fingertips were gently twisted from time to time, she looked sideways, as if she saw a trace of nervousness on his face, she was puzzled, the Queen Mother glanced at her and said to Emperor Jing: "The mourning family thinks that the divine doctor saved the life of the Son of Heaven, which is tantamount to saving the lives of the people in the world, and the merit is indispensable, Your Majesty, your reward is still too light." ”

Emperor Jing spied the light in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and immediately cooperated: 'Oh? Then, according to the queen mother's wishes, what should I reward her? ”

A smile bloomed on the face of the Queen Mother who had been eroded by the years, and Shen Qing was secretly frightened, and there was always a bad premonition.

I only heard her smile and said: "The divine doctor is not only skilled in medicine, but it is rare that Hui Zhilanxin is at a good age, and she is a good match with Mo'er, why don't you take this opportunity for the emperor to give them two a marriage?" ”

Emperor Jing smiled silently and raised his eyebrows to look at Lian Mo: "Lian Mo, are you willing?" ”

Lian Mo walked to the center, the evening breeze blew the corners of his silver-white clothes, and there was an intoxicating smile on Ruyu's face: "The ministers obey the will of the emperor and the queen mother!" ”

Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, and whispered to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, what is this?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled mysteriously: "This is naturally what Lian Mo meant." Emperor Jing smiled and said how could the Queen Mother have such an idea, "Although this girl is a commoner, fortunately, her medical skills are outstanding, and Lian Mo has passed the age of marriage for so many years, and no one can look down on him, so he finally has one who suits his heart, why don't we fulfill him." ”

Emperor Jing nodded and said, "That is the case, then I will..."

"Your Majesty, listen to the words of the people's daughter."

Shen Qing didn't know when he also walked to the hall, standing side by side with Lian Mo, Lian Mo saw her coming out, and involuntarily clenched his fists, suppressing the apprehension in his heart, but Lian Che quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"A folk girl can't marry a son."

Emperor Jing's eyes sank: "Oh... The miracle doctor can't look down on the prince of Zhao? He emphasized that he could not look down on these words.

Even if she has the ability, in the final analysis, she is just a mere woman, if the royal marriage is rejected by a woman, then where will his face go.

The emperor's sense of oppression hit instantly, and Shen Qing didn't realize it, "Back to the emperor, the son of heaven and man, the status is noble, how dare the people look down on the people's daughters, the people's daughters were born in the countryside, it is really the people's daughters who are not worthy of the world's sons, besides, the people's daughters are already women's bodies, how can one daughter be two husbands, and please ask the emperor to learn clearly." ”

Emperor Jing and the Queen Mother looked at each other, and there was a coercion in the emperor's voice: "Do you know what the crime of bullying the king is?" Although you are gracious to me, if you commit the crime of deceiving the king, I will not spare it. ”

Shen Qingzheng said: "The people's daughter's words are true, and there is no deception. ”

Even if it is a royal family, it still has to follow the etiquette of the world, and since this woman is married, even if she is an emperor, it is not difficult to be strong.
