Chapter 15: The Night Feast
Yan Ran couldn't help but hold his small body in his arms, trying to use his body temperature to warm this sensitive and intelligent child, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Tai Ran had already changed his clothes and walked in, and he also heard Jing Ran's words just now.
"Jing Ran, I can't imagine that you have the same personality as your brother. We're bosom friends! ”
Jing Ran nestled in Yan Ran's arms and was silent.
Yan Ran pulled up the two children one by one, and calmly sat beside her. She said with a serious face: "Now there are only our four sisters and brothers here. You are also adults, and now there is one thing that needs your ideas. She looked at Ding Ran and Jing Ran's sparkling eyes: "There is a mole around us, and it was he who revealed the information that my brother and sister went shopping to the bad guys, so we were attacked." Think about it, who could this spy be? ”
Ding Ran and Jing Ran were first surprised, and then thought about it seriously like adults. Certainly said: "The four of us, as well as my brother's scholar, will not be a mole." ”
Yanran nodded, "Well, you can rule it out." ”
Jing Ran asked, "When you go out, who is in this palace?" ”
Calmly said: "There is my brother's inner servant Yuehu Yuehai, my sister's inner servant Yuegui Yueda, and four maids such as Yunshang. ”
Jing Ran nodded, with a calm look: "It is possible that all eight of them are possible." ”
Yanran asked, "How can we check?" ”
Must have frowned. Jing Ran was also thinking hard.
Tairan couldn't bear to pull the two children into the whirlpool of struggle so early, so he looked at Yanran.
Yanran waved at him. The children of the royal family are destined to have no childhood, and instead of being assassinated in ignorance, it is better to get in touch with these bloody things in advance and exercise their ability to survive.
The two thought for a while, and then said, "Sister, if you go out again, Jingran and I will hide in the shadows, and see who goes out to deliver the letter and know who is the mole." ”
Jing Ran nodded: "I think this method is good." However, sister, you have become a bait, I don't want to. ”
Tairan couldn't help but applaud: "Good way! I can't imagine that a six-year-old child would think of it. Sure Jingran, my brother admires you very much! ”
After receiving the praise of the prince's brother, the two children were very excited, but they tried their best to hide it, their little faces were flushed, and they said, "Today's small meeting ends here." Certainly, everything we say must be kept secret, even if we are like parents. Also, in the future, if anything involves the four of us and our father, we must not say anything to anyone other than the four of us. ”
Ding Ran and Jing Ran nodded heavily. It's only half an hour's work, and the two children seem to have grown up a lot.
After dinner, Yan Ran sent them to bed early, and she and Tai Ran continued to discuss the issue of eliminating the traitor, and rested in the middle of the night.
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Xie Zhenfu suddenly had a whim to hold a night banquet in the palace. Yanran returned to the palace for more than a month, and he never picked up the wind and dust for her; Tairan was canonized as the crown prince, and he had never celebrated in the palace, so this time he was all in mind.
In the past month or so, he has been extremely emaciated, and has changed from a burly man to a slender old man like a bamboo pole. Thanks to Yanran's medical skills, he is always in good spirits. He loves to be lively and laugh with his children, and he enjoys this time very much. Yanran knew that this was also his last time.
Because of the night banquet, Concubine Jing'an's grounding order was also lifted.
The night banquet was held at Tinglan Xuan by the heart pool. There is the most beautiful scenery in the palace, there is a pool rippling in front, there is a hill lurking in the back, the left and right flower beds, it is all kinds of strange flowers are gorgeous, and the flowers are fragrant. Even sitting and looking at the scenery is good.
The chamberlains and palace maids were busy for a day, hanging lamps and inserting flowers around Tinglan Xuan, and at night, the lights were brilliant, the flowers were dazzling, and the prosperity was endless, and the prosperity and luxury of the road were endless.
In addition to Xie Zhenyu, two concubines and four children who participated in the night banquet, there were also "national uncle" An Zhaoxiong father and son, and "national uncle" Guo Bohan brothers and sisters. plus the first assistant Li Zheng's family and the auxiliary minister Ji Chenggong's family. Tinglan Xuan set up six tables.
The genius is dark, and the lights are already brilliant in Lan Xuan. Xie Zhenfei was dressed in light clothes, supported by Concubine Jing'an and Concubine An Shu, and Concubine Yi followed behind and sat down on Chairman Tinglanxuan. Tai Ran changed into a set of apricot yellow semi-formal clothes, Yan Ran still wore a pink dress, and the bead hairpin was inserted in her sideburns, with Dingran and Jingran, and the four of them accompanied each other on the table on the left.
Subsequently, An Zhaoxiong took An Yefeng, Guo Bohan took Guo Tinglan, Li Zheng took his wife, Ji Chenggong took his twin sons Ji Xuan and Ji Lan into the table in turn.
It was the first time for Yanran to see so many people, except for Guo Bohan, who had seen them peeked in the study, and she didn't know anything else. She looked at An Zhaoxiong, who had three locks of long hair, a bit like an old student in the play, and was a little surprised. This man doesn't seem to match his name at all, and he looks very elegant. looked at the sharp-eyed and long-standing young man beside him again, and knew that he was An Yefeng. An Yefeng's gaze happened to be towards her, and as soon as the two looked at each other, An Yefeng seemed to smile, Yanran's eyes rolled, and he quietly turned his gaze to Guo Tinglan at the other table. Guo Tinglan is sitting quietly next to Guo Bohan, she has a long round face, Danfeng eyes, and the tails of her eyes are slightly raised, these eyes make her look full of jumping, because she is a girl, this kind of jumping out does not have a sense of frivolity, but has a stubbornness that is not afraid of heaven and earth. It is also a rare beauty billet.
Everyone saluted the emperor first, and then saluted calmly. Xie Zhen ordered everyone not to be formal, just feel free, and the banquet began. The maid sent dishes one after another, and everyone drank wine and talked, and the atmosphere slowly became warmer.
First, the elders toasted one by one, and then the prince stood on the table and toasted a glass of wine to each table, and the younger generation appeared. An Yefeng attended first, toasting table by table. When he arrived at the table of Tairan, Jing Ran looked at him fixedly, and refused to even hold the cup. Because they are children, they actually only have honey water in their cups. Yan Ran knew that this kid was angry in his heart, so he picked up his cup and smiled at An Yefeng: "Your Highness is small and not good at socializing, I will drink this cup instead." An Yefeng looked at Xie Jingran, then at Yanran, and said, "Okay!" "Drink the wine in your glass.
Yanran drank the honey water in Jingran's cup. Calmly watched silently.
An Yefeng poured his cup full of wine again and raised it in front of Yan Ran: "This cup is for the princess!" I have heard the name of the princess for a long time, and it is an honor to see it today. Please princess face! ”
Yan Ran just wanted to pick up her cup, but calmly picked up her cup first.
An Yefeng's eyes narrowed.
Said calmly: "Little Marquis, the princess is not strong enough to drink, so don't drink this glass of wine." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking down on him? The princess drank two glasses in a row just now, why is it that I can't drink enough to toast? ”
"If the little marquis is unwilling to let go of the princess, then how about the palace to drink on his behalf?"
