Chapter 316: The Family Banquet Begins
The noise of the capital city does not seem to have the slightest impact on the majestic imperial city, the towering palace wall is like a barrier, isolating all the noise of the outside world, obviously only walking through a not too long road, but at the moment of stepping out of the road, the deafening noise instantly became inaudible.
Dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, embroidered with auspicious clouds, lined with white-edged lock patterns, as if the sea of clouds is churning, it looks so chic at a glance; It is necessary to use white jade with a micro bundle, which is neither relaxed and casual, nor tight and serious, just right; Pedal a pair of gilded moire boots, white boots lined with golden moire, as if walking between the clouds, if that fairy posture.
I have to say that this dress really fits, as if it was tailor-made for Tang Jin. Not only him, but Fang Jieqing behind him was also wearing a pale yellow dress lined with white moire, and all kinds of small and lovely birds were embroidered with five-color threads between the moire, walking between the clouds, and dancing like a hundred birds and phoenixes between actions; Coupled with the pure white fox fur shawl, she suddenly had a little more mature charm with a little girlish temperament, but there was a little playfulness between her eyebrows, which made people look beautiful.
In addition to Tang Jin and the two, the emperor did not treat Tang Xu badly. Tang Xu was wearing a brocade robe with gold patterns on a white background, a pair of black-faced gold silk boots, a silk belt around his waist, a sachet on his left, and a beautiful jade, which had an elegant style.
The rest of Qin Hai and the others, because they are not from the royal family, do not have gold or bright yellow on their clothes, but their clothes are not monotonous. Qin Hai is dressed in a black military uniform, with a white lion tattoo on his chest, and he has a brave spirit; Fang Xiaoer was dressed in green clothes, with a blue ribbon wrapped around his eyes, accompanied by the folding fan in his hand, which was quite a sense of a ranger; If you want to say that the most formal one has to be Feng Gu, Xu knew that this guy still had a reputation for being a showman, so he directly sent him a Confucian shirt, although the style is not new, but at least the materials are good; As for Xiao Dezi, he is dressed in brown brocade, and he has nothing to say except for the materials.
The group went straight to the depths of the palace under the leadership of Gonggong Li. The emperor's family banquet, since it is impossible to hold a banquet in the Jinluan Palace, in previous years, most of the harem was chosen, and this year is no exception, but perhaps considering the large number of people, the banquet was deliberately changed to a larger Qitian Hall with the original Yongnian Palace.
To be honest, in Tang Jin's group, except for him
Himself, almost none of the rest have ever been to the palace, and Feng Gu, who has only been here once, is still in a state of tension throughout the whole process, so everyone is a little nervous, and the rest is novelty, if it weren't for Tang Jin's instructions on the way here, it is estimated that this group of people would have entered the Grand View Garden with Grandma Liu, and they would have been surprised.
Fortunately, the road to the Qitian Hall is not far, and the paths in the palace are almost the same, so everyone has nothing to do except for the novelty at the beginning.
"Your Royal Highness, there is the Qitian Hall in front. The emperor, the emperor's mother, and the princes are already waiting inside, and please let the prince and the old slave in. Pointing to the bright lights in front of him, and many eunuchs and palace maids entered and exited the hall, Gonggong Li urged slightly.
The group quickened their pace, walked to the door, and heard Gonggong Li shouting: "His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived!" ”
Suddenly, the eunuchs and palace maids who came and went around fell to their knees. Tang Jin and the others did not delay, stepped forward in an orderly manner, and knelt down in the hall with Tang Jin as the leader: "My nephew (nephew, we, etc.) meet the emperor and the queen!" ”
Sitting on the top, Tang Yu, who was dressed in casual clothes, glanced at Tang Jin, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. This nephew, who was a little unaccustomed to him and even wanted to drive him away, gave himself a lot of surprises during this time, solved the situation of being constrained by the minister, and maintained the military affairs of the border, and recently helped the treasury earn a lot of silver, so that the income of the entire treasury doubled before the year. How good would it be if there were a few more virtuous ministers like this?
"Hurry up, this is a family feast, don't care about these false gifts." With a wave of words, a little eunuch walked to Fang Jieqing's side with a brocade box, and slowly opened it, only to see that there was a pair of jade ruyi in it.
"The two of you are very happy, I am too busy with official business to participate, and now I will send a congratulatory gift, which can be regarded as a gesture of my heart." Tang Yu looked at Fang Jieqing, who was stunned, and smiled.
Fang Jieqing was stunned for a moment, and then bowed, "The emperor is generous, and my nephew and daughter-in-law are grateful." ”
"If you like it." With a wave of his hand, the little eunuch took it down. The thing has to be sent to the Shizi's Mansion later, so you can't let Fang Jieqing hold it for dinner, right? "Alright, let's take a seat."
Tang Jin and the others sat down according to their words until
At this time, Tang Jin had a lot of effort to see a lot of scenes in front of him.
Needless to say, in addition to Tang Yu, it is the eldest grandson queen who only heard his name but did not see him, the eldest grandson Yun. The first impression of this woman is definitely not how good-looking, and even her appearance can only be said to be mediocre, but there is a tranquil temperament around her body, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, revealing softness in her words and deeds, not fighting or grabbing.
To be honest, Tang Jin really didn't expect this, he thought that Changsun Yun would be a rather arrogant or proud woman, after all, she had a son like Tang Hao. However, the moment he saw himself, Tang Jin instantly understood that Tang Hao's situation was not genetic, but mutation.
Down, sitting on the right side is naturally the eldest prince Tang Hao, followed by a group of guys who have never seen before, presumably it should be his protégé; Opposite Tang Hao, which is the front of Tang Jin's side, is naturally the second prince Tang Yun; On the right side of Tang Yun is the fourth prince Tang Hui, that is, the guy who was killed by Tang Jin's aunt; Opposite him was the third prince Tang Gou, compared to the sick look when they first met, he was much better today; On the left side of the third prince is the fifth prince Tang Qing, that is, Tang Jin wiped out the mother clan behind him.
To put it simply...... Except for Tang Gou and the emperor present, they basically have an enmity with Tang Jin, and there is no one to eat this meal, so the emperor who is at a loss is pressing here, otherwise...... The fight has already begun.
Tang Yu naturally knows the grievances between his son and Tang Jin, but he doesn't have anything to say about it, there may have been no before and now it is completely gone, if he really wants to say it, he may help Tang Jin instead, because compared to these guys who are still eating and waiting for death, Tang Jin is now a real minister, without him Tang Yu is now in an easier situation, and he will be beaten back to the prototype in an instant, or even more serious.
"At this family banquet, you little guys are open to eat and talk, you are all the pillars of my Datang in the future, you must have a good relationship."
Properly reminded them not to cause trouble here today, this family banquet is officially started, but Tang Yu always has a strange feeling, why does he always feel that he is for Tang Jin, not for his own sons?
