Chapter 23: The Palace Banquet (5)
Cold Palace
Although the queen Yanxi sitting in the courtyard was not wearing gorgeous clothes, her whole temperament could not be covered by coarse cloth and clothes. The whole person exudes elegant elegance and elegance, and everyone has a beautiful temperament.
Seeing them coming in, he called out gently, "Xiaoli, come on, it's time to eat." Waving at him, Xiao Li walked over to her, Yan Xi reached out and gently touched his head, took his hand and sat down.
"Mama, you can sit too" The queen looked at Mama Yu and said.
"Niangniang, you and Your Highness can eat! The slave will eat later," Mama Yu excused.
"It's okay, there aren't that many people, just like usual, just fine." Yan Xi said softly.
"Yes, the slave is offended." After speaking, he also sat down, and served the queen and His Royal Highness dishes before starting to use them. Although there was coarse tea and light rice on the table, the three of them ate happily and satisfied. The queen's eyebrows and eyes were always smiling. Mama Yu looked at the queen's smile and thanked Her Royal Highness from the bottom of her heart.
"If it weren't for His Royal Highness, Niangniang wouldn't be so happy. It seems that in the future, the little hall will come down more often. Mama Yu thought to herself.
In this way, the three of them dined in the dilapidated courtyard, but it presented a warm atmosphere.
Temple of Ruthlessness
"The emperor has arrived," Gonggong Li's voice sounded outside the Ruthless Palace.
Mo Lingxin led all his subordinates to come out to greet him at the door of the Ruthless Palace, "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live." "Kneeled down, hands in front of him, forehead on the ground.
"Excuse me, get up!" The emperor personally helped Mo Lingxin up.
"Let's go, let's go in." The first walked to the middle of the hall, and in the center of the hall, there was a beautiful table, and tea was placed on the table.
The Emperor walked to the seat in front of him and sat down, and Mo Lingxin sat down next to him.
Mo Lingxin lifted the tea on the table, poured a cup, and handed it to the emperor with both hands, "Father, please drink tea." ”
The Emperor reached out and took the tea, took a sip, and placed it on the table at hand. He asked:
"How's that, Xin'er, are you still used to it? If you need anything, feel free to send someone to inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs," said the emperor, looking at her.
"Father, my son, everything is still used to it. The father doesn't have to worry, and the son will never wronged himself. Mo Lingxin replied.
"Haha, that's good, my princess, you deserve the best." The Emperor seemed pleased.
"By the way, I'll pick a female etiquette official to send to you when I go back, and learn the royal etiquette, what do you think?" The Emperor's tone was a little hesitant.
"But it's up to my father to arrange."
"You...... If you don't want to learn, I won't force you, I'm just worried that others will be behind your back when you go out-"
"Father" Mo Lingxin interrupted the emperor's words, "Erchen knows that his father is for the good of his son, and Erchen doesn't have any ideas, what his father arranges Xin'er to learn is all for Xin'er, and Xin'er knows." ”
The emperor put his mind at ease, as long as he didn't misunderstand him and forced her to learn. "Then arrange it like this first, and then make arrangements one by one after the banquet."
"Yes, son-in-law," Mo Lingxin stood up and saluted.
"Have you eaten?"
"Not yet"
"That's right, our father and daughter have lunch together" looked at Gonggong Li who was standing on the side, and ordered: "Li Chang is here, order the imperial dining room, and set up the Ruthless Palace."
"The slave obeys the order" Gonggong Li bowed and saluted, and went out to pass the meal.
After a while, plates of delicate delicacies were brought in. Looking at the dozen or so dishes on the table, I have to say that it is really extravagant, Mo Lingxin sighed.
Gonggong Li tried them one by one with silver needles, and after making sure that it was not poisonous, he used chopsticks to cloth vegetables for the emperor.
"Let's help the princess with the dishes"
"Yes."
Mo Lingxin saw that Gonggong Li was about to pick up vegetables, and hurriedly stopped: "Father, no need." Erchen clips it himself, so he doesn't have to wait. Thank you, Father, for your kindness."
"Oh well! Li Changzai, you can also retreat. ”
"Yes, the minions are retired." Gonggong Li withdrew, and the emperor and Mo Lingxin were eating, chatting from time to time, and the dinner table was full of warmth.
