Chapter 45: The Banquet Begins
"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen the Queen Mother." Seeing Li Shimin seated, the ministers hurriedly saluted.
"I am very relieved that the ministers took time out of their busy schedules to attend the queen's birthday." Li Shimin opened his mouth for a standard opening statement.
Wang Yin entered the theater mode while eating.
After the opening, it was time for the gift-giving session.
"Queen Mother, this is a jade coral found by the sons and daughters from overseas, I wish the queen mother a healthy body, all wishes come true, and she smiles often." Naturally, it was Li Chengqian who took the lead.
"My son has a heart." Empress Eldest Sun waved her hand with a smile, and immediately someone said that the gift was put aside.
"Queen mother, this is a pair of purple phoenix beads found by the sons, I wish the queen mother a healthy body and eternal youth." Not to be outdone, Lee Tae also offered his own gift.
Other princes and princesses also followed, basically some treasures and the like, Wang Yin noticed that Li Lizhen's gift was a copy of the "Book of Filial Piety" written by himself.
Wang Yin couldn't help but sigh: Little sister, you really know how to live~
After the princes and princesses finished sending it, the ministers followed, and a small eunuch next to him took the gift list, and sang a harmony sentence for each one sent.
"Zhao Guogong presented a pair of hundreds of carved jade Ruyi, wishing the queen mother. . . ."
"The king of Hejian County presents a piece of Bingyun Xuancui, wishing the queen mother...
"Gong Guo presented a Qiongzhu in the East Pavilion and wished the queen mother. . . ."
。。。。。。
"Zhongqing's family has a heart." After the ministers finished giving gifts, Li Shimin said with a smile, and Empress Eldest Sun also nodded to express her gratitude.
"Your Majesty" A minister stood up and saluted Li Shimin, and then turned to look at Wang Yin: "I don't know what gifts General Wang has prepared, so that I can wait to open my eyes." ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he also looked at Wang Yin with great interest, and was also full of expectations for Wang Yin's gift.
Wang Yin swallowed the pastry in his mouth, reached out to wipe his mouth, and walked to the center of the hall.
"Everyone, look carefully" Wang Yin played, took out a piece of black cloth and showed it to people, and then pretended to carry it in his hand: "Below, is the moment to witness the miracle." ”
After saying this, Wang Yin shook off the black cloth suddenly, and a large dressing mirror appeared steadily on the ground.
"Sss There was a gasp in the crowd.
The base of the dressing mirror is snow-white, and the dragon and phoenix carvings are on the left and right, fixing a mirror in the center, far exceeding the clarity and gorgeous shape of the copper mirror, which suddenly shocked the people in the room.
Li Shimin and his wife stood up directly from their seats, walked to the mirror and looked carefully.
"Is this me?" For the first time in his life, Li Shisheng saw his face so clearly.
Empress Eldest Sun didn't speak, but her eyes were full of joy when she looked in the mirror.
"I wish the queen a smile and a beautiful day." Wang Yin smiled and said, "Queen Mother, are you satisfied with this gift?" ”
"Thank you, General Wang, this palace is very satisfied." The eldest grandson and queen blessed with a gift.
Li Shimin cast a 'interesting' look.
A few little eunuchs immediately came over next to him, and carefully lifted the mirror down, but his legs were obviously a little shaky when he walked...
"In our hometown, birthdays are about eating cakes." Wang Yin said a word at the two, and then slapped him three times.
Everyone was puzzled, and when they were puzzled, they saw a young girl pushing a strange thing and walking in from outside the hall, singing a birthday song as she went.
"Happy birthday to you...
"Happy birthday to you...
"Happy birthday to you...
"Happy birthday to you...
At this moment, Cheng Lingxue's face was red to the base of her neck. I feel so ashamed...
But in order to learn martial arts from Wang Yin, this girl is also out of the way...
After pushing the cake cart in front of the two, Cheng Lingxue uncovered the lid of the cake, turned around and walked out.
All they saw was a huge piece of pastry, lying quietly on the strange cart.
There are no candles on it, mainly because Wang Yin doesn't know how old the eldest grandson queen is, so he is too lazy to get it...
"General Wang, is this a custom in your hometown?" Li Shimin looked at the cake and asked, "This is the cake you just said?" ”
"That's right." Wang Yin said as he took out an extended cake knife.
This move instantly frightened a room of people, and the samurai in front of the hall on both sides were about to rush up with their guys.
Li Shimin waved his hand to stop them, staring at Wang Yin and waiting for his explanation.
Li Shimin naturally knew that Wang Yin didn't mean this, but he didn't understand what he was doing with something like a dagger.
Wang Yin pinched the back of the knife and handed over the handle of the knife: "This is for cutting cakes, and you and the queen mother will hold the handle of the knife together and cut it like this." ”
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: it turned out that they had misunderstood.
Li Shimin and his wife turned out to be a cake knife according to their words, and the two of them held the handle of the knife together and cut it down.
"Cut it like this again, and then like this. Cut it out and put it on that paper plate. Wang Yin was commanding on the spot.
Seeing Li Shimin put the cut cake on the paper plate, Wang Yin handed a small fork to the eldest grandson: "Queen Mother, come and taste whether it is delicious." ”
Empress Changsun took the fork and forked the cake, took a small bite and chewed it a few times, and then her eyes lit up: "Soft and delicious, sweet and delicious." ”
"Your Majesty, you can also taste it." Wang Yin handed over another fork.
"It's delicious." Li Shimin took a bite and said affirmatively.
Wang Yin pouted beside him, and Li Shimin found that those princes, princesses and ministers were looking at this side curiously, and immediately summoned a few little eunuchs, asked them to cut the cake and then give everyone a point.
After tasting the cake, the ministers nodded their heads and sighed that it was delicious.
The older ones were fine, and the younger ones immediately stuffed them into their mouths after tasting them.
Li Shimin and his wife returned to their seats, and the banquet officially began.
Groups of palace maids lined up with delicacies in turn, carefully placed on the dining table in front of the people.
The music sounded, the servants on both sides played the instruments in their hands attentively, and the dancers danced with the music in the center of the hall, and their beautiful postures and moving figures attracted a burst of coveted eyes from time to time.
"These young ladies are not bad, although they are not so beautiful, but they are original, tsk." Wang Yin looked at the maiko in the hall: "If this is a proper dancer left in the past~"
Looking up at Li Shimin, who was drinking and chatting with the ministers, Wang Yin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The evil feudal society!" ”
But.. I like it, hehe...
Seeing Wang Yin staring at the dancers, Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes and leaned closer, his face full of obscenity: "What, there is a fancy for it?" Don't worry, as long as you say it, Your Majesty will definitely reward you. ”
After all, in Cheng Yanjin's view, Wang Yin's age is the time to be interested in women.
"Lao Cheng, I saw your filthy soul in your lewd eyes." Wang Yin decisively despised it: "I'm criticizing it. Ahh ”
"Yes, I understand." Cheng Yanjin is still full of obscenity.
The atmosphere of the banquet slowly relaxed, and Empress Changsun and Li Shimin greeted each other, and took a group of little princesses to the side hall to accompany the ministers' daughters.
Li Shimin also left his seat and chatted and laughed with several ministers.
The ministers gathered together in three or five to exchange and discuss state affairs.
Of course, the most lively is the military general's side.
Cheng Yanjin helped Wang Yin introduce this general, of course, the way to know is naturally to drink.
"Qin thanked General Wang for his kindness in rebuilding." After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup.
"Uncle Qin, you're polite." Wang Yin also drank a glass of wine.
"Chi Gong, General Wang cured my second brother, we will be brothers in the future!" Wei Chigong is even more direct.
Wang Yin stabbed Cheng and bit gold: "I won't call you Uncle Hei anymore." ”
Cheng Biting Jin was holding his stomach: "Black charcoal, did you hear it?" Ha ha... ”
Wei Chigong listened to a black line, but fortunately, he was used to it and didn't care.
"A certain cow enters the country, respect General Wang!" Niu Jinda picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Niu Jinda is from the hard days of life, when the food was not full, watching the people around him starve to death one by one, this experience made Niu Jinda obsessed with food is very deep, and now Wang Yinjin has dedicated the Quyuan plow, Niu Jinda is naturally from the bottom of his heart to Wang Yin thanks and respect.
"This is Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo."
"This is Chai Shao, the Duke of the Kingdom of China...
"This is Chen Guogong...
。。。。。。
Cheng Yanjin continued to introduce Wang Yin, Wang Yin naturally did not refuse, after all, the alcohol content was too low, Wang Yin was a warrior who was tested by alcohol before he crossed, and he was still a meat shield type, not to mention that he was now strengthened by the Spartan bloodline.
Wang Yin didn't take out the distilled liquor, there was no way, there were too many people, and it was troublesome.
These generals saw Wang Yin so bold, and they were impressed.
Especially Li Jing, who wanted to get Wang Yin into the army before, and now that Wang Yin has offered a horseshoe, this idea is even stronger.
Soon everyone became one, and Xia Jiba began to blow with Wang Yin. tells the story of the past when he followed the soldiers of King Qin and fought everywhere.
Wang Yin was very cooperative on the side, and from time to time he said something like 'awesome' and '666'.
"Come and drink!"
"Refreshing!"
"Wang Yin, your kid has a good amount of alcohol."
After several battles, several have been lying down, and Wang Yin is still the old god.
"Wang Yin, I don't believe it. Can't put you down。。 Come and drink! Yu Chi Gongbu was stunned and said unconvinced.
To be honest, Wei Chigong's alcohol consumption was still very strong, and he had no choice but to meet Wang Yin, a pervert.
"Boom!" Wei Chigong fell headlong and threw himself into the street.
Cheng Yanjin: This kid is really a monster...
In the end, except for Li Jing, who basically threw himself on the street, the few who didn't hit the street were almost drunk, and they were rolling their eyes and pulling in that Xia Jiba.
When the atmosphere was almost over, Li Jing spoke: "General Wang, the man is alive, and he should gallop on the battlefield to protect his family and defend the country, why don't he join the army and show his strength?" ”
