Chapter 3 Cocktail Party

The two of them got into a rickety carriage, although it was a carriage, it was very rich and luxurious. The large carriages were upholstered in fine brocade, with thick warm mats underneath them, and steaming teacups on quaint low tables.

Miao Zhi slowly sipped the fresh tea in the cup, looked curiously at the pedestrians and shops coming and going on the street through the car window, and suddenly remembered that she shouldn't be like this, and inadvertently closed her gaze.

After a while, the carriage stopped on the bank of the Linzi River, Miao Zhi was carefully helped off the carriage by the eldest brother, and looked up to see a big red gold plaque, the plaque said Dou Da's three big characters "Rong Ao Lou", the quaint two-story building stood abruptly on the riverside, the thick red columns, the beautifully carved window lattices, and the steps were cleaned spotlessly.

Just as he was about to take a step, he saw the two people dressed as small servants respectfully greet him.

"Young Master, you are here, the poetry and wine party has not started yet, please wait for a while, and wait for the prince to preside over it in person."

Walking into the main hall of the Rong Ao Building, there are really a lot of people waiting in the hall, men and women, most of them sit around in twos and threes to talk and laugh, so lively.

Miao Zhi followed the eldest brother closely, for fear that she would not be able to find him if she was not careful, after all, it was her first time going out, so it was better to be careful.

Zhen Yuqian found a relatively secluded corner and pulled Miao Zhi to sit down, and there was another son and two young ladies on the table, and they all nodded politely to him, thinking that they knew each other. He was also afraid that Miao Zhi would be bored, so he pushed a plate of small snacks in front of Miao Zhi so that she could wait while eating.

About half an hour later, a bearded man dressed as a butler came out of the viewing area upstairs.

"Young masters, young masters, here is the steward of this building, this cocktail party is held by the owner of our restaurant, Yuan Wang, but the location is not here, but the Yanbo Fang on the Linzi River, please move on the boat, please." After saying that, he made a gesture of please, and turned back to the cabinet.

At this time, it was dusk, and when I walked out of Rong Ao Lou, I saw a big boat docked on the lake at some point, still two floors, with many lanterns and gauze tents hanging on both sides of the boat, swaying in the wind, and a man dressed in white stood at the bow of the boat, followed by two attendants with knives.

Carefully getting on the boat, Shen Yuqian pulled Miao Zhi and walked towards the man in white, made a series respectfully, and then spoke.

"Yuqian greets the prince, this is my little sister, Miao Zhi." He pulled Miao Zhi, who was a little dazed, "Zhi'er, hurry, I've seen the prince." ”

Miao Zhi panicked and blessed the man slightly, only then did she see the man's face clearly.

The man's facial features are distinct, handsome, like a jade tree, a black hair is held high by a golden crown, but under a pair of sword eyebrows is a pair of long peach blossom eyes, the white robe with gold silk edge is faintly seen shallow patterns, the off-white belt is inlaid with several gems, and the exquisitely engraved jade pendant is neatly pinned to the waist, indicating his identity.

This distant prince is the third prince of the dynasty, Bei Yiyuan, and the mother concubine is Liang Yumeng, the sister of Liang Wen, the left minister.

The new emperor of the north has few heirs, the second prince died before the full moon, the emperor cherished his son, and set up the eldest prince as the prince early, and the rest also added the prince to give the mansion, in addition to the prince and the distant prince, there is only a little prince who travels all day long Bei Yihui.

"Xiao Yuqian, how many times have I told you, don't salute when you see me, are you underbeaten or what?"

Yuan Wang Ye paused and looked at Miao Zhi, "This is your sister who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't step out of the second door, the last time we met was a few years ago, when I was still a little girl, and I was so beautiful in the blink of an eye." It's really bright-eyed and graceful. As he spoke, he looked at Miao Zhi with a big grin.

"Lord Wang, don't make fun of me, my sister was seriously ill a few days ago, and I was afraid that she would be too stuffy in the house, so I took her out to breathe." Shen Yuqian, who was held by the prince's shoulder, explained with a smile and a smile.

"Okay, it's an old-fashioned look every time, hurry up and go in, the drinking party will start immediately, go find Yingfan and Zhaohua, they are in the Siyu Pavilion on the second floor."

Walk into the smoke wave workshop, walk through the low corridor, go up the steps to the second floor, and arrive at the Siyu Pavilion without two steps.

Pushing the door in, Miao Zhi first noticed a man in a wheelchair sitting on the opposite side of the pavilion.

Purple clothes are fluttering, the appearance is dignified, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the temples are like knife cuts, the nose is like a mountain ridge, and the black eyes are dazzling. If it weren't for his pale lips and sickly complexion, you would have thought he was undoubtedly an immortal in the painting.

"Brother Yu, why did you come, Zhaohua has been waiting for you for a long time." A woman dressed in a gorgeous dress hurriedly came over and grabbed Zhen Yuqian's arm.

"You also know, Yingfan is a wood, he doesn't speak much, and Hongxuan Gongzi is always cold, I'm so bored alone." The woman is petite and pretty, with delicate facial features, and the beads on her head are gorgeous and complex. If it weren't for the brutality between her eyebrows, Miao Zhi would really feel that it would be good for her to be her sister-in-law.

"Brother Yu, who is she? Why did you bring a woman here? Although he asked politely, he couldn't hide a trace of disgust in his words.

"Zhaohua, Yingfan, Hongxuan Gongzi, this is my sister, Miaozhi."

After the eldest brother finished speaking, he introduced Miao Zhi one by one, the woman in the Chinese costume who pestered the eldest brother was the most favored Princess Zhaohua in Bei'anhuang, the emperor today, and the handsome man who walked slowly in the stands was Liang Yingfan, the son of Liang Wen, the general of the Northern New Kingdom, and the first young man to see was Yuan Hongxuan, the fifth highness of Dongyuan. The two sons politely bowed to her, and Miao Zhi returned the salute one by one.

"It turned out to be Brother Yu's sister, come on, come on, let's sit together, Brother Yuan's drinking party is about to start." Princess Zhaohua seemed to have changed as if she had changed and couldn't help but lead her and her brother to the stands, as if it was not the first time she had seen her, but a good friend who had known her for many years.

On the huge viewing platform, the prince announced the start of today's cocktail party, everyone can taste wine at will, taste wine, fight wine, but also poetry, painting, women can also play the piano, dance.

In general, qiē is mainly music-oriented. After the announcement of the far king, the downstairs soon became lively, the little maids served all kinds of food and wine, the music of silk and bamboo sounded, and the dancing girls in colorful clothes and water sleeves also began to twist their bewitching bodies.

After a cup of tea, King Yuan walked in, and the little guy behind him lowered his eyebrows and placed the various dishes in his hand neatly on the table, and then took out a blue net bottle from a stove and put it away.

"Come on, everyone, this is our Rong Ao Lou's newly brewed 'March Spring', there is only a small jar, I specially brought it to you to taste today."

The fragrant wine is sweet but not spicy, and the taste is very much. She was anxious to take another sip, but Yuan Hongxuan beside her stopped her.

"Miss Miao Zhi, although this wine is a little sweet, it is still wine, and this wine is full of stamina, if you don't eat some side dishes first, I'm afraid you should get drunk for a while." Although the warm voice spoke a word of concern, it revealed a shallow alienation.

Miao Zhi nodded, obediently took the dish to her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

On the other side, the distant prince had already pulled Zhen Yuqian and Liang Yingfan and started to draw punches. Princess Zhaohua, who seemed to be a little drunk, sat beside Shen Yuqian with a smile, and after a while, she also joined the ranks of fighting wine, and from time to time she played tricky skin, which was also very lively.
