Chapter 249: The Royal Feast
His Majesty the Emperor invited the generals to a banquet, and the banquet was very luxurious, but it was more casual in other places. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info His Majesty the Emperor also knew that the Lu Mansion was established by martial arts, and the etiquette was not very particular, and everyone was a relative, so there was no separate hall to invite female guests, but the male guests sat in the east of the palace and the female guests sat in the west of the palace.
Shen Yu was young and mixed with the female guests.
I don't know if the emperor wants the banquet to be more lively or if he heard some gossip, Prime Minister An's family is also invited, and even Jiang Yan has been invited.
It was the first time for An Yixin to participate in such a major occasion, and she only felt that the lights and candles were dazzling, and the hall was full of jewels. She sat next to Shen Yu in peace, pretending to help Shen Yu pick up vegetables, while lowering her head and stuffing it into her mouth while it was hot. She was eating well, and suddenly saw Chunhua and Dongxue standing in the corner behind the eldest lady, squeezing their eyebrows at her. Others came to the banquet, but she came to eat sincerely.
An Yixin smiled wryly.
This is a royal feast!
Although each dish is too gorgeous, you can only open your eyes occasionally, and you can't learn to go back and improve it into a home-cooked dish. But it's really extravagant, in the winter, I take the precious cucumber carved plate, I take the palm-sized shrimp to make porridge, and I take the fresh ginseng whiskers to fry the meat...... Not to mention the taste, isn't it afraid of nosebleeds when you eat like this?
An Yixin twisted the tube, but the chopsticks in her hand kept going all the time, and she tasted all the dishes again.
She can't learn these dishes, but if she has the opportunity to come back to the banquet next time, she doesn't mind eating the same dishes again. This is An Yixin's truest evaluation of the imperial banquet.
An Yixin admired, tasted, and silently commented on each dish, and then looked at the place beyond the table, only to find that the originally casual banquet had become more enthusiastic and active, many people had already left their seats, toasting and talking to each other, and Jiang Yan walked up to the old lady with a wine glass, obviously to toast.
"I heard that you're going back to Jiangguo?" After Jiang Yan finished saying a set of toasts, the old queen mother raised her glass and asked with a smile. She was old and had her ears back, so she spoke loudly, An Yixin could hear it clearly, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yan.
"It will probably take a few days to leave, and then I will enter the palace to say goodbye." Jiang Yan knew that the old queen mother was behind her ears, and she also laughed loudly.
Jiang Yan is leaving? Shen Yu also noticed Jiang Yan at this time, and the chubby little bun showed a surprised look on his face.
The old queen mother waved her hand, "It doesn't matter if you quit or not." You've been in the capital for so long this time, aren't you going to take a daughter-in-law back? Now do you have someone you like, and you want to go back to report to your father and queen mother? ”
An Yixin, does the old lady love gossip, or is she pretending to be confused and wants to help the eldest lady find out? An Yixin thought in her heart, and saw the eldest lady looking sideways. And An Yixin found out that the table where Lu Yunrou, An Yijie, Lu Yunrong, Lu Yunzhen and other young ladies were sitting together, and the table was full of neat dishes and had not touched a few chopsticks at all, and several young ladies and their personal maids were all gone.
"When the last dish was served, the queen invited a few of them to the other hall for tea." Shen Yu said with a smile when he saw An Yixin surprised.
An Yixin smiled wryly, patronized and ate, and didn't notice anything. But then again, the emperor didn't even have any court music and dance to perform, so it's no wonder that everyone was just busy eating and drinking.
Shen Yu smiled and glanced at An Yixin, just you have been busy eating alone, okay!
"The Queen Mother laughed, I stayed in the capital for so long this time, firstly, I love the scenery of the capital, and secondly, I take care of my business. I'm still young, so I don't have anyone I like, and I don't need to worry about marriage. Jiang Yan said with a smile.
Hearing Jiang Yan say this, the eldest lady was very dissatisfied. Although she also knew that it was most normal for Jiang Yan to say a few words and shirk on such an occasion, but he didn't take the opportunity to show his tone and praise Yun Rou a few words, and the eldest lady felt a little too much.
"You're not too small. You are the crown prince, and the marriage matter is very important, so it must be decided as soon as possible. The old queen mother looked at Jiang Yan and admonished earnestly.
Jiang Yan Weiwei nodded, and Emperor Zhou Chang walked over with a wine glass.
"Prince Jiang, others don't know your mind, but I do." Zhou Chang blushed from drinking, and his voice became louder, "In the past two years, you have been the best son-in-law in the eyes of our Emperor Zhou's relatives and eunuchs. Those old ladies and old ladies hold you, and send their girlfriends to you every day as if they were offering treasures, and they spoil you so much that your heart is high. ”
Jiang Yan frowned secretly, Your Majesty, you drank too much, when did I get spoiled by those old ladies and old ladies to be so angry, I have always avoided them. He said secretly in his heart.
"Prince Jiang, your good days are over, and from today onwards you are no longer the best son-in-law of my Zhou Kingdom. Look there, that's the new general of my Zhou State. The young hero is also much better looking than you. He should be my best son-in-law. Zhou Chang really drank too much, and his words were verbose, and he patted Jiang Yan's shoulder vigorously as he spoke.
was so inexplicably squeezed by His Majesty the Emperor, Jiang Yan's good temper was revealed. Not only did he not change his face, but he also smiled and nodded. "General Lu is also very envious of the dragon and phoenix among the people." As he spoke, he saw Zhou Chang smiling and shaking a little, and quietly sideways his shoulders so that Zhou Chang could help him.
"Yun Shen, Yun Shen, come here." Zhou Chang beckoned to Lu Yunshen.
Shen Yu pursed his lips. An Yixin smiled, lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Do you think His Majesty the Emperor is a little out of honor?" ”
"I think he's boring, of course my senior brother is better looking than Jiang Yan, and he still has to let the two of them stand together and compare with each other."
Belch......
I hadn't seen Shen Yu look so towards his senior brother before! An Yixin thought to herself.
Lu Yunshen stepped forward and stood with Jiang Yan.
Because it was a banquet, Lu Yunshen did not wear the golden ceremonial armor, but wore a dark cyan dark flower robe, and instead of a silk ribbon tied around his waist, he was tied with a palm-wide cow belt, which made his shoulders wide and his waist thin, and his legs were long and straight.
Jiang Yan is also slender, in fact, the two of them are generally tall, but one is a modest and gentle merchant prince, and the other is a cold and ruthless martial arts master, the temperament is too different, standing together at this moment, Jiang Yan was actually crushed by Lu Yunshen, and it looked as if he was a head shorter than him.
Jiang Yan was not happy.
He glanced at Lu Yunshen leisurely and smiled slightly.
Jiang Yan's eyebrows are handsome, this smile is elegant and handsome, and there is a hint of casualness in the nobility. You're better than me, but I'm personable, how about it, you can't learn, right?
Lu Yunshen looked at this prospective brother-in-law, who was two years older than himself, and nodded lightly. (To be continued.) )
