Chapter 341: The Holy One Arrives
Shen Lian sat quietly again, and there was a movement at the door, first a maid opened the way, and then a canopy followed, and a eunuch who accompanied him sang loudly, "The Holy Lord has arrived!" Jean Snow Princess has arrived! All the people in the garden knelt on the ground one after another, and Shen Lian also knelt weakly, in fact, her knees were slightly raised and she didn't really kneel, but no one noticed her, and shouted with everyone, "Greetings to the saint, greetings to the princess Qinxue, long live the saint, long live the saint, long live the pearl, and the princess is a thousand years old." ”
In this case, only Yin Chen was still standing, bowing slightly, it could be regarded as a salute to Yin Xinxuan, Shen Lian's small movements were not noticed by others, but he was in full view, and he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
This girl is really always different, and she is bold, and she dares to play these little tricks in front of Yin Xinxuan.
If someone notices her actions, she will not be able to run away from being convicted of contempt of the Holy Might.
Yin Xinxuan looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground and Yin Chen, who was still standing in the center, looking extremely tall, his eyes flashed quickly, and then he raised his hand slightly, and said loudly, "You Aiqing don't have to be polite, let's be even." ”
"Thank you for your grace."
Everyone replied respectfully in unison, but they didn't rush to get up, until Yin Xinxuan got down from the holy seat, walked slowly in front of everyone, and sat down on the seat that belonged to him.
After Yin Chen waited for Yin Xinxuan to sit down, he sat down in his place again.
And Yin Qinxue, who walked down from the holy belt with Yin Xinxuan, walked straight to Shen Lian's side, pulled her up directly, and called out with a smile, "Pity, get up quickly." ”
Then he took her all the way to the seat that belonged to her, and let Shen Lian sit down next to her.
"All the Aiqing are seated."
Yin Xinxuan, who was sitting on the main seat, swept his gaze among the crowd, and then said with a smile.
Today is not above the court, the Qionglin banquet itself is to strengthen the relationship with the new scholars, he will naturally no longer have a tense face as usual, but behave kindly.
Of course, no matter how kind he behaves, he still has the momentum of not being angry and arrogant.
After Yin Xinxuan's order, everyone sat down one after another.
Sitting in the main position is Yin Xinxuan, Yin Chen is under his Yin, and Ning Qingming, as the new champion of this department, sits at the bottom of Yin Chen, a separate table.
Liu Hanxiao and Han Wenhui, who are the eyes of the list and the flowers, are under Ning Qingming, and the two of them are at the same table.
The other second- and third-class jinshi are four people per table.
Yin Qinxue and Shen Lian are under Yin Xinxuan's right hand, but sitting below them is the current prime minister, Shen Lian's father Shen Qinghan, and below are the other examiners.
Sensing his father's gaze that fell on him from time to time, Shen Lian couldn't help but straighten his back a little more, and didn't dare to behave in any undignified manners.
In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh again, and regretted a little more about agreeing to his senior brother to participate in the Qionglin banquet, this is simply like sitting on pins and needles! After everyone sat down, Yin Xinxuan signaled slightly, and the palace maids standing beside everyone stepped forward to fill the wine glasses for everyone.
Yin Xinxuan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "I am happy to have all the good ministers in this scientific expedition, and I will specially set up a banquet today, hoping that everyone will do their best for the court in the future and become my ministers as soon as possible!" I will use this wine to represent my expectations, and all the families will drink this cup together! "There are countless candidates who have participated in the imperial examination, but there are very few who can be named on the gold list.
These people are all planned to be appointed by him in the future, and at this time, he naturally wants to show his closeness so as to win over these new science and technology scholars.
Seeing Yin Xinxuan holding up the wine glass, everyone also followed suit and thanked him in unison again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the royal wine!" "The cold window has been studying hard for more than ten years, isn't it just for this time, if there is a holy grace in the body, it will not be a smooth future in the future.
Most of the Jinshi were very excited at this time, and Ning Qingming and Liu Hanxiao could still maintain their composure, although Han Wenhui was not as calm as them, he was a little better than the other Jinshi.
After thanking Yin Xinxuan, everyone drank the wine in the cup together.
Shen Lian also picked up the wine glass, first sniffled slightly, and suddenly smelled a crisp aroma of wine, and couldn't help nodding secretly in her heart.
It is worthy of the imperial wine treasured in the palace, and the ones she has drunk before are few comparable to them.
When everyone was drinking, she took a small sip, tasted the taste, and put the glass back on the table.
After all, her father was sitting next to her, and she could only mean it like this, and she couldn't drink as before.
Perhaps sensing her thoughts, Yin Qinxue moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, "I'll have someone send two jars of this wine to your house when I go back." ”
Seeing such a Shen Lian, she couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart, after all, such an honest and quiet Shen Lian is really uncommon.
Shen Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile, "That's a good dare!" Then he secretly glanced at his father beside him, lowered his voice a little, and said softly, "When I sent it, I put it in a box, don't say it's wine, just say it's a snack." ”
If you let your father know that you have always liked to drink good wine, I am afraid that there will be another nag.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't let Prime Minister Shen know."
Yin Qinxue looked at Shen Lian's cautious appearance, couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and said in a low voice.
Seeing that Yin Qinxue was so understanding, Shen Lian took advantage of her father's inattention, winked at her, and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”
Then he quickly sat up again, as if it wasn't her who blinked just now.
When they were muttering quietly, Yin Xinxuan put down the wine glass in his hand, and when he talked about the scene, everyone present basically focused on Yin Xinxuan's body, for fear of making some moves and angering Shengyan.
Only Yin Chen, Ning Qingming, and Liu Hanxiao also listened, but most of their attention still stayed on Shen Lian's body.
Looking at her cautious appearance, a faint smile flashed in her eyes.
Shen Lian didn't notice everyone's eyes at all, and after whispering to Yin Qinxue, she sat upright on the seat again.
As for what Yin Xinxuan said, she simply went in Yin's ear and came out in her right ear, all of which were big and empty words, which didn't mean anything to her at all, so she naturally didn't pay attention to it.
Yin Xinxuan said for a while, then announced the start of the Qionglin banquet, and glanced at the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch immediately clapped his hands knowingly.
As the applause fell, music began to play, and more than a dozen dancers in light pink costumes danced in the center of the venue to the sound of music.
The atmosphere in the arena also became relaxed all of a sudden, and everyone watched the dance with wine glasses and smiles on their faces.
Shen Lian didn't have much interest in this dance, and when she saw that her father no longer paid attention to her at this time, she breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed with Yin Qinxue while eating snacks.
Everyone enjoyed the dance for a while, and they also talked with each other for a long time, adding some feelings, and Yin Xinxuan, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly called out to Ning Qingming, "Ning Aiqing." ”
Ning Qingming put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up from his seat unhurriedly, saluted Yin Xinxuan, and said without humility or arrogance, "The minister is here." ”
"Aiqing doesn't have to be so polite, just sit down and say it."
Yin Xinxuan looked at Ning Qingming, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and his posture was upright, and the appreciation in his eyes was a little more, and he said with a smile.
"Thank you."
Ning Qingming thanked Yin Xinxuan calmly, and then sat down again, without the slightest fear.
He himself had no intention of pursuing a career in the world, and if it weren't for his father's request, for the sake of the idea in his heart, he wouldn't have wanted to participate in this scientific expedition at all.
Although he is also very respectful to Yin Xinxuan, he is not as awe-inspiring as ordinary people.
"I have always heard that Ning Aiqing is not only both civil and military, but also versatile, especially a song of the cave flute is even more fascinating, I wonder if Ning Aiqing can play a song today?" Yin Xinxuan looked at Ning Qingming with a pair of eyes appreciatively, and asked with a smile.
