Chapter 72, the Quarter Moon Banquet (Second Watch)
The night is as cool as water, the lights are like fire, a string of moons, and a few stars.
Qi is worthy of being a prosperous country in the mortal world, and the first ordinary night banquet in the palace is extremely grand. The scale is large, the dishes are numerous, and the beauty of singing and dancing is almost as good as the birthday banquet of the first-class gods in the heavenly realm.
This emperor is quite good at enjoying life, and the realm of the banquet did not choose a certain hall, but moved to the imperial garden. I don't know what these palace people have done, but they have made the flowers bloom at night, the flower plate is large and delicate, the color is bright, and the fragrance is rich.
Jiu Mingmei is still tied up, but he is still comfortable, and he has not become a suspect at all. She glanced at Chen Deng, who was detaining herself, and said with a smile: "Relax for a while, panic." ”
Chen Deng made a strong face: "You are a suspect, how can you ......?"
Jiu Mingmei flew over with a look, and the cold was ruthless, a small stimulus, which made Chen Deng's face turn blue. Chen Deng didn't say a word, "swish" a few times to unbuckle the rope, and then turned his head to look elsewhere. Well, he didn't do anything, he didn't see anything, and he wasn't afraid of anything.
Jiu Mingmei smiled "poof", and suddenly felt that this strong man was a little cute. The rope was all untied, and she moved her wrist to look around. On the orders of the empress, Chen Deng detained her in a small pavilion to the east of the Imperial Garden Banquet Hall, surrounded by heavy soldiers.
This pavilion is slightly higher, just enough to see the whole audience completely. I saw the emperor sitting in the main seat, accompanied by the queen Fang Shuying, who was young and a year old, it was a "mother and son dependent on each other".
Behind the main seat, is the seat of the concubine and princess.
In the row to the left of the main seat, there are some ministers of the DPRK and China, including the national teacher Bai Tanuki.
Shan Huyin, dressed in the white shirt of an ordinary disciple, stood silently behind the white fox, suddenly noticed something, raised his head, and smiled softly in her direction.
The main seat is in the right row. It's the girls who are running for the goddess. They have not yet come out of the terrifying news of Feng Ziying's killing, either their eyes are red, or they look nervous, or they are full of doubts. I don't understand which tendon is wrong for His Majesty the Emperor, so I have to make a string moon banquet at such a juncture. But no matter how much emotion he had in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey the holy will, and he was still dressed exquisitely, and he was a serious person attending a banquet. It's pitiful to think of mortals. It's very hypocritical, but it's not hypocritical, and it won't live long.
Tian Cui was also in the middle of them, sitting on her knees as usual. She was a little nervous, glancing around from time to time, and then looking up at the national teacher and the single fox seal, as if waiting for them to give her some instructions.
A burst of rich fat powder fragrance wafted from outside the Imperial Garden, and for a while, the fragrance of flowers in the garden was all over the place. Everyone looked sideways, and saw a group of purple people coming with brisk steps, and simply fixed on the opposite side of the main seat. Kneel down and bow: "Son Qianji, meet my father and mother, I wish my father and mother a good health and eternal blessings!" ”
Oh, Feng Qianji's sweet mouth can't suffer anywhere.
Feng Lie said "flat", and ordered someone to give him a seat on the side of the courtier. Why, this grand banquet in the palace didn't invite him in the first place?
"Isn't the Eighth Prince unwell and recuperating in the mansion?" Empress Fang Shuying asked with a kind face. "Feeling better now?"
Feng Qianji still wore a purple gauze hat covering her face, not revealing half of her appearance: "Thanks to the queen mother's concern, it's better." It's just that I heard that there is a beautiful scenery of the quarter moon today. There is also a beautiful wine of Xiangliu...... The sons are greedy, and I hope that the father and the queen mother will not blame the sons and daughters for being frivolous. With that, he leaned down in his seat and took a sip of thin wine, which was very hedonistic.
The frivolity of the eighth prince has long been famous in Qi country, and everyone has long been surprised. If he is in the middle of the day, he calls it 30 degrees Celsius on a snowy day - it is strange.
It's a sigh, the virtuous and orthodox prince Feng Yilang is already a wasted person, and in the future, this prosperous country will fall into the hands of "Merry Chitose", and I don't know what virtue to be ruined. The courtiers shook their heads and couldn't help but sigh.
Feng Qianji hooked the corners of her lips, not caring at all, but stretched out her bony hands, casually playing with the small things on her cheeks. His gaze fell directly to the small pavilion in the distance through the layers of purple veils effortlessly: Xiao Mei'er, how can I be missing from this "hunt" tonight?
"Empress, it seems that the 'Xiangliu Wine' brewed in your palace is absolutely famous, and even the always picky Ji'er is famous." The emperor said fiercely, "Why don't you take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to order someone to send it and give it to all Aiqing?" ”
"That's what the emperor said." The queen's body was straight, and her old face smiled very dignifiedly, "Spring brewing, wine!" ”
"Yes, sissy."
With this sound, everyone smelled a mellow and soft aroma of wine. This kind of fragrance seems to condense the aroma of a hundred flowers, and it is a little more sweet and spicy than the aroma of hops. After only one smell, I was already intoxicated and relaxed. Everyone's index fingers moved, and suddenly they felt that there was more liquid in their mouths, and they couldn't wait to grab the wine immediately and savor it. Even the girls who are not good at drinking on weekdays are attracted by this fragrance and want to taste it.
I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old handsome girl taking the lead, followed by seven or eight big men, each of whom carried a wine jar on his shoulder.
"The people's girl spring brewing to meet Your Majesty and Niangniang, I wish you a long life and good fortune, good fortune, joy every day, and joy on your eyebrows!" This spring brewing girl is extremely clever, and her kung fu is even more powerful than Feng Qianji.
"Reward!" The emperor was very happy when he saw it, he couldn't make a hundred and eighty taels of gold?
"Your Majesty, wait!" Chun Brew glared at a pair of clear almond eyes, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The folk girl is a winemaking girl, and her ancestors have relied on wine for generations. If Your Majesty and the adults are satisfied with the wine of the people's daughter, it is not too late to reward it! ”
"Interesting, good, quasi-play!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chun Brewing smiled and turned around, like a female general commanding thousands of troops, she waved her arms, "Brothers, serve wine!" ”
The big men got the order, and they put the wine vat off their shoulders one after another and distributed the "Xiangliu Wine". Everyone looked at the mellow wine in the bowl, and secretly swallowed their saliva, hoping that the speed of distribution would be faster, and the emperor's order would come more violently.
"Zhong Aiqing, drink together tonight, don't get drunk and don't return!"
The emperor gave an order, and everyone raised their wine glasses and drank them all. The wine was mellow and wonderful, and the emperor drank it and asked, "What kind of ingredients are added to your Xiangliu wine, and why does it taste so extraordinary?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's nothing," Chun Brew replied respectfully, "but some human blood has been added." (To be continued.) )
