Chapter 14: The Palace Banquet (2)
CHAPTER XIV
After Jiang Yun entered the hall, he saw Jiang Hui chatting with an old man with gray hair and a kind face. Jiang Yun said sorry to Lin Huilan, and walked forward to find Jiang Hui in a hurry. Seeing that Jiang Hui was chatting happily, she stood silently beside Jiang Hui and listened to her. The old man noticed Jiang Yun who was trying to lower his sense of zĂ i on the side, "Where is this young lady from?" He looked at Jiang Yun with a smile.
"Oh, this is my sister, I used to be too weak to bring it out to meet people. Now that I'm in better shape, I can come out and play with the young ladies in Beijing. Jiang Hui pulled Jiang Yun and whispered to the old man. Yunyun, come and meet the Prime Minister! â
"Meet the Prime Minister." Jiang Yun pretended to salute, "Hahaha!" Miss Jiang Er doesn't have to be so polite, just call me teacher like your sister. "Teacher?!" The Prime Minister is my sister's teacher?! Jiang Hui saw Jiang Yun's entangled face, and explained, "The Prime Minister used to be the teacher of me and Zhiqian, so even if the teacher is the prime minister now, we have always called him a teacher." "The birthday banquet is about to start, so I'll go to the front first!" Ah Hui remembers that he had time to bring his sister to the house. "Okay, teacher, go first!" After Jiang Hui saluted, he took Jiang Yun to sit in a remote position from the main seat. When the priest Xu came in, Jiang Yun felt that such a person must have appeared with his own light, and the officials and young ladies who were chatting suddenly stopped talking, and the audience watched him walk in. Only the music remains, and the dancers are still writhing enchantingly...
After the sacrifice was seated, the hall began to be lively again. The eyes of the sacrifice swept over the audience, hey~ What about that girl! I don't know why, but this is an obvious avoidance, which makes the sacrifice not very happy. The ladies and sons present today are all dressed up beautifully, nominally it is the emperor's birthday banquet, but in fact, the major officials get together again to see if there is anything they can rely on each other to consolidate their position.
Jiang Yun and Jiang Hui sat in the corner, Jiang Yun felt that this was the most correct choice Jiang Hui had made, it was simply too safe here. A person is silently huddled here, what to do, the people in front of him will not see. Leaving halfway through won't be discovered, it's great! The woman in the corner was like a little fox, smiling treacherously, with crumbs of pastries at the corners of her mouth, and she didn't know what the hell was going on in her head. The pastries in front of the table were almost eaten by her, and Jiang Hui seemed to be educating her, "Why don't you know the rules in the palace!" "Eat less pastries, don't wait for it to hold on, your stomach will be upset!"
Sacrifice Xu whispered to Pingle behind him, "Go and get the pastries on the table of this king and find someone to send them to Miss Jiang Er!" And look at Miss Jiang Er, if there are fewer pastries, they will be served again! "Yes, my lord." Pingle retired to do the big things that the prince handed over to him!
"The emperor has arrived!" The eunuch's sharp and thin voice came, wearing a two-color gold hundred butterflies wearing flower red arrow sleeves, a multicolored silk knot long spike palace silk, covered with a stone blue flower eight groups of forged tassel gowns, and wearing a blue satin foundation small court boots. Lifelong brilliance like glass, dark and bottomless eyes, like a pool of deep water directly submerged so that people have nowhere to breathe. Standing with his hands down, the king is full of aura.
Everyone present knelt down and saluted, and Jiang Yun also followed Jiang Hui's example and knelt down to salute. The crowd shouted "Long live my emperor!" Hooray! Without the emperor's order, no one dared to get up, Jiang Yun's eyes floated around, always feeling that someone was watching him, and he knew who it was with his toes.
"Everyone, love Qing, let's be flat! Today is my birthday feast, and you ministers don't have to be restrained! It's just a pity that my queen has been sick recently, and I won't bring harem concubines today! It's just me and Aiqing! After the emperor finished speaking, he sat down and said in the direction of the sacrifice, "Lord Yi, is there a program you want to watch?" The priest Xu chuckled silently, and the emperor was also embarrassed, and it was difficult to say anything. The eunuch next to him hurriedly rounded: "Lord Yi, you haven't thought about it!" Your Majesty, the minions let them perform one by one! Is it good for the emperor to see it? "No need, in previous years, it was always these shows, and it was always these troupes, but this year it is better for the young ladies and sons to come!" So that I can see the talented women in Beijing! What do you think? An adult stood up, "Your Majesty, the daughter of a lower official is really a good handwriting!" Huilan, don't you want to write a birthday message to the emperor? The adult said to the woman next to him! Huilan, isn't it that kind sister, Jiang Yun looked up, it was really. At this time, this beauty's face turned red, this Huilan's father is really stupid, haven't you heard of the gun shooting the first bird? Look at this full house, just waiting for the faces to see the show. But this Sister Huilan did not disappoint her father, as blessed as the East China Sea, and Shoubi Nanshan. Four big characters, look at its strength without losing, posture without boasting, handwriting flowing water. After all, it is real, and it has won a lot of praise, the emperor is happy, and he rewards the four treasures of the study, and those who want to watch a good show have to clap their hands and praise, the emperor has praised it, what else can they say!
With this beginning, the young ladies and sons also began to be eager to try and want to show themselves in front of the emperor. The atmosphere is also starting to liven up. Jiang Yun still chose to eat pastries silently, Jiang Hui was also unwilling to participate in this kind of thing, even if Dr. Jiang's eyes were about to blink and cramp, the Jiang sisters were indifferent.
The eunuch next to him whispered something in the emperor's ear, and the emperor suddenly said, "There is another distinguished guest here today." Then an old man came into the hall, dressed in silk and satin, and wore nine shining gold rings on his ten fingers. A jade belt embedded in the waist is either a cat's eye or a night pearl. Junzi Peiyu, the piece of jade he hung on really makes people can't think of the word Junzi - without it, it is big enough, and it is too big, so people can't help but doubt.
As soon as he came to the emperor, he knelt down, snorting and tearing, "Your Majesty, please be the master of the grass people!" Emperor! "What are you talking about, Master Li?!" The emperor hurriedly came down to help up Master Li, but the Master of the Li family just refused to get up, "Your Majesty, the steward of the Caomin Gourmet House is dead!" Ah, what a loss for the grass people! "Besides, after so many years of relationship, this person said that it was gone, and the grass people really couldn't get over it in their hearts..."
"This, Master Li, why are you making trouble here!" The eunuch was sweating anxiously on the side, this is the emperor's birthday banquet, and this master of the Li family is also bold, making such a fuss in front of the palace. If the emperor is unhappy, everyone here will suffer!
"That's because the killer is here!" Master Li got up and pointed in Jiang Yun's direction. The eyes are fierce and the voice is poignant!
Jiang Yun was stunned with his hand holding the pastry, what the hell, who killed him! What are you doing here?! The emperor was also stunned, if it wasn't for Master Li pointing in that direction, he wouldn't have known that there were still people there!
"Master Li, our Jiang family has nothing to do with your guys, please think clearly before you speak!" Dr. Jiang couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and retorted.
"Who said that! Cai San has sent pastries to your family, dare to say that there is no intersection?! This Miss Jiang sent someone to follow Cai San, and she also said that there was no intersection?! The thick murderous aura in Master Li's eyes shocked many people present, this Master Li was very courageous, but he just killed a guy, so he risked cutting off his head to testify against the murderer.
