Chapter 207: Imperial Meal
Yan Xiaoyue had just come out of the inner room, and after Jiang Siyan looked up, he directly pulled someone back, "Forget it, the weather is bad today, so we won't enter the palace." ”
Yan Xiaoyue turned around to dodge, pursed her lips and smiled: "Xianggong Mo is not dazzled, obviously the sun is shining, why is the weather bad." After speaking, he threw a wink at Jiang Siyan and said with a smile: "Xianggong, is the concubine so beautiful?" ”
Jiang Siyan grabbed Yan Xiaoyue and pressed it on the bed, "Why don't you let your husband take a good look at the beauty of the lady now?" "As soon as I lowered my head, I wanted to take the vermilion cherry lips in my mouth.
Yan Xiaoyue hurriedly raised her hand and blocked it, "It's hard for people to dress up, you can't make me bad reads();." Seeing that Jiang Siyan still didn't give up, he said in a low voice: "It's a big deal, after I come back today, I will just deal with it with the prime minister." ”
"I'm still wearing this outfit."
Yan Xiaoyue's eyes opened, did this person come over and want to play with the temptation of uniforms?
After dragging on for half a pillar of incense, the two went out together, and as soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw an imperial carriage waiting there, and Zhao Chenglai saluted: "I have seen the county lord of Chaoyang!" Please ask the county lord and Jiang Gongzi to get in the car, and your majesty will wait in the Qianming Palace. ”
Yan Xiaoyue let go, "Commander Zhao doesn't have to be polite, let's just do the same as before." Why bother you, the Commander, to pick it up today? ”
"Hehe, didn't I want to come and get close to the county lord? When did you marry Jin Qiao to me, I have asked the matchmaker to come seven times, and you still don't let go, now the matchmakers in the imperial city dare not come to my door. ”
After listening to Zhao Cheng's words, Yan Xiaoyue covered her mouth and smiled, in two months, seven matchmakers came, but they all let Jin Qiao send them away. It's not that those matchmakers are afraid to come to the door.
Lifted the curtain by the car window, and smiled at Zhao Cheng, who was walking on horseback: "It's none of my business, I haven't seen any matchmakers." ”
"County Lord, what does Jin Qiao think? Although marrying me is a stepfamily, there is no one in my family, she will be in charge of the house when she comes, and she only needs to take care of me alone. Why wouldn't she? Do you really want to be an old girl? ”
Zhao Cheng leaned over and approached the carriage to talk to Yan Xiaoyue. Jiang Siyan, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned, "Commander Zhao, there are a lot of people here." Find a quiet place to talk about something later. ”
Zhao Cheng looked left and right, sitting up straight, concentrating on leading the way. Jiang's mansion is in Beicheng, and it takes only two quarters of an hour to take a carriage to the imperial city.
The carriage was changed into a sedan chair, and he walked to the Qianming Palace. Along the way, I only occasionally saw one or two palace maids and inner eunuchs, and everything was quiet.
In front of a splendid palace gate, a sedan chair was made. Yan Xiaoyue looked up and saw that the rosewood plaque engraved with the three big characters of Qianming Palace was hanging high at the main entrance, full of majesty.
Father-in-law Wei at the door was busy with the steps and trotted to Yan Xiaoyue to kneel. He saluted and said, "The slave has seen the county lord of Chaoyang, the county lord Jin An." ”
Yan Xiaoyue didn't wait for Xiao Weizi to finish speaking, then she gave a hand and handed over a jade gourd waist pendant. "Hurry up, you're so familiar. Where is it necessary to perform such a big salute. Ne, this is a special trip for you, I didn't prepare for the last time you left in a hurry, so I specially made up for it today. ”
Yan Xiaoyue is really not used to it, although there have been slaves and maids serving in the past few years, including in the Jiang Mansion, it can be said that there are a group of maids, but there is no such rule in the palace that you kneel when you see someone. On weekdays, the maid is half-squatting, and at first glance I am really unaccustomed to seeing this scene of kneeling on the ground.
Xiao Weizi hurriedly got up and took it with both hands, held it in his hand lovingly and said with a smile: "Slave Xie County Lord reward." Hehe, the etiquette cannot be abolished, and the county lord will adapt to it slowly. After speaking, he bowed to the other two and said, "I've seen Commander Zhao, I've seen Jiang Gongzi." Your Majesty is already waiting in the palace, and you will come with the minions. ”
Yan Xiaoyue and the others did not stop at the door, and went directly into the room, and saw that the new emperor was writing hard, how could Xiao Weizi wait.
"Your Majesty, the county lord is here."
Qi Anning put the pen down, raised his head and walked over.
Yan Xiaoyue followed Jiang Siyan to salute, fortunately, this dynasty does not kneel when he sees the emperor, like Jiang Siyan's hands are half clenched into fists, and a long bow is parallel to the ground, Yan Xiaoyue is a half-squat salute to become reads();.
However, it was such a simple prayer for peace and tranquility did not give way, and he stopped halfway, "It's good that you are here, you don't have to be so restrained, you will be like this before." ”
"I haven't congratulated Your Majesty on the ceremony! Your Majesty gave such a big reward to Neiko, and Siyan thanked Your Majesty here. ”
Qi Anning smiled, "This is what Yueniang should be." ”
Yan Xiaoyue looked at this palace curiously, and didn't care about the embarrassment of the three men standing there, anyway, every time Jiang Siyan and Qi Anning met, they wouldn't be too harmonious, Yan Xiaoyue was used to it.
"Your Majesty, is this the palace where you live?"
"Well, this Qianming Palace is the residence of the emperors of previous dynasties, but the previous Qianming Palace was burned by Emperor Kandi, which was built later."
"Where is the place where the minister went to court?" Yan Xiaoyue looked around, thinking that although this hall was very large, it should not be enough to stand so many ministers.
"You're talking about the Ming Zheng Palace, and the Yi Dynasty is in the main hall there."
Yan Xiaoyue nodded, indicating her understanding, and then said, "Your Majesty, it's almost noon." After saying that, he touched his stomach.
Qi Anning pursed his lips and smiled, "Little Weizi, pass the meal." ”
"Yes."
Qi Anning led the three of them out of the main hall and walked towards the side hall, it seems that the place for today's meal is there.
The first time she entered the palace, it was also the first time Yan Xiaoyue saw the palace, and what she experienced was different from what she saw on film and television. In film and television dramas, what Yan Xiaoyue saw the most was the long red wall passages.
But standing in the most majestic place of the Great Zhou Dynasty today, the palace walls and houses you see are taller than the houses next to you, and you have a sense of high-end luxury when you are in it. And the subsequent meal opened Yan Xiaoyue's eyes, listening to the singing and drinking of the inner supervisor of the meal, looking at the dishes that seemed to flow up like flowing water, and a long table several meters long was placed during tea time.
Qi Anning sat due north, Yan Xiaoyue sat on his left hand, Jiang Siyan sat on his right hand, Zhao Cheng sat on Jiang Siyan, and when he finished cleaning his hands, Qi Anning raised his chopsticks and clamped the first, and then the rest of the people started, Yan Xiaoyue's first chopsticks were clamped to the bear's paw, and tasted carefully, the taste was really different, and it was better than the master on the first floor.
When serving the food just now, Yan Xiaoyue only heard a lot of "Magpie Dengmei", "Butterfly Scroll", "Spiced Pigeon", "Guihua Flower Strip", "White Grilled Fish Lips", "Sliced Suckling Pig", "Mountain Treasure Eleutherococcus" and so on.
"Why doesn't Yueniang eat it, but I don't like it?"
Yan Xiaoyue glanced at Qi Anning, and said helplessly: "Before I came, I thought that I must have a good meal, but when I came, I found that I didn't know where to start." ”
Qi Anning smiled: "What's the matter, just let the palace people serve." After speaking, he ordered a maid to come forward to cloth vegetables.
In this way, Yan Xiaoyue only has to eat the dishes that the palace maid puts on the plate, and if it is delicious, she will take a bite, and if it is not delicious, she will directly put it into another plate, not to mention, the eyes of this trained palace maid are good, as long as Yan Xiaoyue glanced at the dish, the dish entered her plate in a moment.
In the end, Yan Xiaoyue drank the diet tea slowly, but she didn't think about it, and she ate hard to support her stomach. (To be continued.) )
