Then the front court reported that there was already a banquet, and the harem naturally had to follow suit.

Lin Yan's seat was arranged under Wu Guifei.

Wu Guifei suddenly smiled and said to Lin Yan: "Miss Lin Si, this palace accidentally injured her hand yesterday, but this palace thinks that the palace maid is clumsy and clumsy, can Miss Fourth stand next to this palace today and pick up a dish for this palace?" ”

The internal and external women in the seat looked at each other, and they all felt that Wu Guifei's behavior today was too out of line, taking a courtier who was about to become the queen as the palace maid, and disdainful of even superficial respect for the future harem master.

There are people who are good friends with the Lin family who want to speak for Lin Guifei, and at this time, the first woman in an apricot yellow palace dress sitting under Wu Guifei looked at Lin Yan, and then said to Wu Guifei with a smile: "Niangniang, let the concubine come to serve you, where does Miss Lin Si know your preferences." ”

Wu Guifei turned her head and smiled at the woman in the apricot yellow palace costume, and said, "Hu Zhaorong, this palace knows that you will be considerate, but ······" She said, deliberately embarrassing Lin Yan in a playful tone: "This palace wants Miss Lin Si to serve this dish for this palace today." Saying that, he looked at Lin Yan with a smile, and said, "Miss Lin Si, are you willing to help this palace?" Huh?"

Lin Yan also looked at her with a smile and did not move.

Wu Guifei looked at her for a while, and then said, "I see that Miss Lin Si is unwilling, so forget it." It is said that the fourth miss will be the queen in this palace in the future, and when the fourth miss enters the palace in the future, the concubine in this palace will have to stand behind the fourth lady and serve, and the fourth miss is naturally qualified not to take the palace in her eyes now. Saying that, he sighed again, and said: "Speaking of which, the name of this palace is really not good, and she can only bluff people in her own palace." ”

Lin Yan glanced at the little eunuch who was bowing his head and walking out at the corner of the palace, then turned around and said with a light smile: "Since the concubine Niangniang has said so, where can the courtiers not get up to serve, and they can't let Niangniang feel that Niangniang, a first-class concubine, can't bluff people in the future, otherwise the adults who have set this grade will be buried." There is some mockery in these words, which means that Wu Guifei is oppressive with grades.

After Lin Yan finished speaking, she stood up, walked to Wu Guifei's side, bowed slightly, and then spread her hands to take the chopsticks from the palace maid's hand, and then lowered her head and asked with a smile: "I don't know which dish the concubine wants to eat?" ”

Zhuang was so angry that he was angry in his heart, and he wanted to speak several times, but he was held down by Li.

Li Shi said to her calmly: "We can't protect her for a lifetime, her road is very long and difficult, you have to let her learn to deal with it by herself." ”

On the other side, someone naturally reported what happened in Changkun Palace to Gonggong Wan.

After hearing this, Gonggong Wan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then quietly walked back to the emperor and whispered a few words in his ear.

The emperor frowned, then glanced at the banquet on his table, and then pointed to the vegetarian stewed three fresh pills and West Lake vinegar fish on the table that had not been touched, and said to Wan Gong: "Give this vegetarian stewed three fresh pills and this West Lake vinegar fish to Miss Lin Si." ”

The hundred officials in the banquet looked at each other, and only felt that this Miss Lin Si's status in the emperor's heart was really not light, this was not a big wedding, but the emperor still remembered to give Miss Lin Si a reward, which was a treatment that even Wu Guifei could not enjoy. It seems that in the future, when they weigh the Lin family and the Wu family, they need to be more cautious to press the balance on the Lin family's side.

And the only ones in the banquet who did not show this kind of look were Lin Ying and Lin Yong, from the moment Father-in-law Wan entered the door, Lin Ying felt that he was only afraid that something had happened to the female dependent, so he was worried. It wasn't until the emperor appreciated the food that he felt that the emperor was at least biased towards the Lin family, and the daughters of the Lin family should be fine in the harem.

Gonggong Wan bowed down and said yes to the emperor, and said, "Slave, let someone send it to Miss Lin Si." As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to come up with the food box and put the two dishes pointed out by the emperor into the food box.

Xiao Ji frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "You go in person." ”

Gonggong Wan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he still bowed down and said yes, and then led the little eunuch with the food box to Changkun Palace.

When Gonggong Wan arrived at Changkun Palace, Lin Yan had already returned to her seat. Wan Gonggong walked straight to her and Wu Guifei, and saluted Wu Guifei first.

Wu Guifei put down the chopsticks, raised her head and asked him, "Grandpa Wan came over, what are you doing?" ”

Gonggong Wan smiled, did not answer her words, then looked at Lin Yan, and sang loudly at the top of his voice: "The emperor has a reward, and the fourth lady of Lin will be rewarded with a vegetarian stewed three fresh pills and a West Lake vinegar fish." ”

There was silence in Changkun Palace, everyone's eyes were looking at Lin Yan, and Wu Guifei's face had already darkened before she could finish hearing this sentence, her hands were clenched into fists, and she almost wanted to crush her bones.

She had just humiliated Lin Yan on her side, and the emperor on that side gave Lin Yan a dish, and only gave Lin Yan a dish. That's not giving Lin Yan face, it's slapping her in the face. Her face as a noble concubine can't even compare to a yellow-haired girl.

And Li slowly put down the teacup that was originally holding it to his lips, with a shallow smile on his lips.

And although Lin Yan was slightly surprised in her heart, she understood that the situation in Changkun Palace would definitely reach the emperor's ears, and the most she wanted was to make the emperor dislike Wu Guifei's domineering, but she didn't expect the emperor to give her face on the spot. But she didn't show the surprise in her heart, she got up calmly, Shi Shiran walked to the front of Gonggong Wan and knelt down, and thanked him: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Gonggong Wan smiled at her, and then instructed the little eunuch to bring out the appreciative food and put it on Lin Yan's table.

Lin Yan saw that the plates containing the dishes were all the utensils used by the emperor, and they were obviously brought directly from the emperor's table. And not only she saw it, but the other women and Wu Guifei also saw it, so the eyes of the other women looked at Lin Yan more and more differently, and Wu Guifei's face became darker and darker.

Lin Yan stood up, and Gonggong Wan bowed to her slightly, and said respectfully: "Miss Lin Si, please use it slowly, the slave will go back to the emperor's side to serve first." ”

Lin Yan said yes, and then bent slightly to Gonggong Wan.

After Gonggong Wan left, there was a food appreciation, and some of the women inside and outside began to smile and flatter Lin Yan: "The emperor is really a considerate person, and he didn't even forget the fourth miss at the banquet. ”

Lin Yan pursed her lips and smiled at the person who spoke, but did not respond to her words, and then sat back in her seat, picked up the chopsticks and ate the food.

The emperor's appreciative dishes should be eaten in order to express his respect for the emperor, and then these two dishes of imperial dishes became a difficult task that Lin Yan had to complete. Fortunately, the dishes made in the palace are all small portions, and the two dishes are not too much.
