Chapter 536: Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner
But now she didn't bother to explain so much to Gu Shenyuan, she just snorted coldly.
"Thank you for your concern, but I've heard a saying since I was a child, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, since this Gu Gangqian is going to come to find my stubble, then let him come."
Gu Shenyuan frowned, he would never have thought that the final conversation between the two would be like this.
"I will definitely go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Of course, I will also sort out my identity and promise that I will not have anything to do with you, Your Highness, I'm sleepy. ”
Jiang Ruanyan got up and walked to the inner room, and even lowered the curtain by himself, such an obvious eviction made Gu Shenyuan of course see it.
He knew that Jiang Ruanyan was angry now, and she wouldn't listen to anything he said, so she could only protect her desperately at the banquet at that time.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the streets and alleys of the capital are full of lights.
From the time I rushed to the market in the afternoon, how could I clearly feel that this autumn was another bumper harvest, all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, and the servant bought a bunch of them back.
The people of Jishitang were so excited that they jumped to their feet, and sighed again and again that they were going to have a good mouth.
But Jiang softly didn't think so, it was a very exciting thing to enter the palace to participate in the banquet, but now she was not so interested.
The whole body was angry with Gu Shenyuan.
It doesn't matter if you don't introduce it, why make such a big excuse?
Jiang Ruanyan never wanted to force him to admit himself? Why did Gu Shenyuan show that Jiang Ruanyan was ignorant and would make trouble for him anytime and anywhere?
Jiang Ruanyan and Gu Shenyuan were going to the palace to attend a dinner party in the evening, so the palace sent someone to help the two of them freshen up very early.
And the people of Jishitang were also busy with their fragrant dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they all volunteered to sign up to help the master.
So everyone was busy with their own things, and everyone ignored Jiang Ruanyan's emotions for a while.
Until he went out, Gu Shenyuan deliberately waited in front of the door, so that he could say a few words with Jiang Ruanyan before entering the palace.
At least explain to her that you don't think so.
Out of this door, you don't need to enter the palace, the sedan chair is surrounded by people in the palace, and it is inconvenient to speak.
He hid behind the door and waited for a long time, and Jiang Ruanyan finally came out.
The pink dress made her skin fairer, and the corset with irises made her waist look very good.
The light makeup on her face made her look very natural and exquisite, which must be seen at a glance in the pile of women with heavy makeup in the middle.
Seeing Jiang Ruanyan coming from under the porch, his eyes looking straight ahead, without any intention of looking at him, Gu Shenyuan hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her.
"Words."
"Is there anything else Your Highness would like to explain?" Jiang Ruanyan's cold tone made Gu Shenyuan a little disappointed.
"I really didn't mean that, don't you know what I'm thinking?"
Gu Shenyuan is now speechless, he knows that Jiang Ruanyan is not the kind of unreasonable little girl.
But this time it was he who made her angry first, so she was unreasonable in everything later, and she couldn't be blamed for it.
It's just that they are about to enter the palace now, if the two of them are still so angry, it is easy for Gu Gangqian to seize the opportunity to enter and make trouble.
"Of course I know what His Highness means, everything is focused on the overall situation, don't worry, I know what I mean."
After Jiang Ruanyan finished speaking, he got into the carriage angrily.
Such a calm and calm, comparable to a well-educated lady, will definitely make those who laughed at Jiang Ruanyan before have no identity startled.
But Gu Shenyuan knew that the more she didn't look like Jiang Ruanyan, the more she proved that she was angry, and the degree of anger was very serious.
Although Gu Shenyuan and Jiang Ruanyan set off at the same time and place, because their identities were different, Gu Shenyuan and him took different routes.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Gu Shenyuan entered directly from the main gate, while Jiang Ruanyan needed to wait in line on the side.
After much inspection, she finally entered the palace and found her seat under the guidance of the palace maid.
Jiang Ruanyan's position was at the foot of the steps, and the side sitting directly opposite was the prime minister and the previous defeated general, Lord Xue, followed by the minister of Yipin.
Not far away is the location of the Jiang Ancestral Hall, although it is only a few steps away, Jiang Ruanyan still feels that the two are far apart.
She suddenly began to blame in her heart, why didn't this Jiang Ancestral Hall usually work hard? At least it's good for the minister to sit across from her.
Now in the beveled direction, there is such a wide road in the middle, and I can't even see the lip shape clearly for a while.
Looking at the ladies sitting next to him, the ladies of each family, Jiang Ruanyan knew but didn't want to say hello.
After all, what they are curious about now is that they want to ask Jiang Ruanyan how Gu Shenyuan is?
Jiang Ruanyan guessed that if it weren't for the strict rules in the palace, the so-called ladies in the back would have come up to surround her a long time ago.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the banquet to start, and with a shout from Father-in-law Ye, the emperor walked into the palace.
Everyone stood up and knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
"Flat."
"Long live thanks." After the prostration. Everyone dared to return to their places, but they couldn't eat yet.
"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, you don't have to be restrained, I called everyone to the palace to be lively, today's wine and food, please enjoy it."
The emperor was quite casual, and Jiang Ruanyan was relieved.
In addition to being angry, she also spent a small part of her heart excited today.
What I'm afraid of is that the emperor praises her in public, and she should be embarrassed by then.
However, he was angry with Gu Shenyuan again, and no one shared the entanglement in his heart for a while, and he sat in his position and was uneasy.
She hoped that the emperor would praise her, but she didn't know how to behave generously when she was praised.
Now the emperor's casual appearance seems to be really an ordinary family banquet, which makes Jiang Ruanyan feel a little more relieved.
But thinking of Gu Shenyuan's guy, Jiang Ruanyan became angry.
At the beginning of the banquet, she looked up the steps while the dancers were performing on stage and no one was paying attention to her energy.
Gu Gangqian did come back, and now he is sitting on both sides of the emperor with Gu Shenyuan, accompanying his father to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Everything seems normal, and you can't see what this guy is trying to do.
Gu Shenyuan was probably overly worried. Since there was nothing to do, Jiang Ruanyan began to appreciate the delicacies with confidence.
How about the cooking skills of the master in the palace Jiang Ruanyan did not praise it, after all, it was the emperor's favorite taste.
But anyway, Jiang Ruanyan saw this routine.
It is to take all the ordinary ingredients, and try their best to change the tricks, and make them look like ordinary people never do.
And then put it on a nice plate, and that's it.
For example, the plate in front of me is inlaid with silver buds.
It is said that the master chef processed the bean sprouts in advance, chopped the chicken into a meat puree, then coated the meat with a needle and thread, and then passed through the thin bean sprouts.
It looks like you're eating a plate of fried bean sprouts, but you can actually enjoy the aroma of the minced meat from inside.
However, in Jiang Ruanyanjiao's opinion, this dish is not as real as fried pork slices with bean sprouts at all.
And there are so many ingredients in this dish that people who like meat lose interest at first glance.
So the first spoon still chose the jade soup next to it.
As soon as the spoon was put into his mouth, and before the food could be swallowed, Lord Xue on the other side stood up with a wine glass.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is brave and wants to toast you on behalf of the people of the world."
Jiang Ruanyan was cold-blooded in his heart, "Then your courage is not small, just like you, you still want to represent the people of the world, and you are not afraid of being beaten when you go out." ”
Of course, these Jiang soft words only dare to think about it in their hearts, and it is not good to say it directly.
Lord Xue on the other side continued, "Since the beginning of spring this year, I have been plagued by disasters, first the snow disaster crushed the people's houses, causing a large number of victims to pour into the capital, and then the flooding disaster in the Jiangnan area was serious. ”
Jiang Ruanyan didn't understand, didn't he want to thank the emperor, why did he come to take everyone to review these things that happened this year.
"But all these difficulties have been overcome one by one under the leadership of the emperor, and the minister will take this opportunity to pay tribute to the emperor today."
Seeing Lord Xue raise his head violently and drink all the wine in the cup, Jiang Ruanyan reacted, it turned out that he was patting his ass.
looked at the emperor on the steps again, unhurried.
didn't say a word, slowly raised the cup to thank Master Xue, and then drank all the wine in the cup and continued to watch the performance, as if he didn't want to deal with the people below.
Jiang Ruanyan was even more proud when he saw it, "Hmph, the emperor won't eat your set." What else represents the people, who approved it? What a shame. ”
At that time, Jiang Ruanyan thought that there should be no more embarrassing scene than this today, but unfortunately she was wrong.
Not long after Lord Xue sat down, Gu Gangqian on the steps stood up again.
"Father, my son respects you with a cup, I wish you good health, my son has been far away from the border during this time, and he has not been able to accompany you, which is a child who is not filial."
Yes, Jiang Ruanyan can see that what kind of master there is, what kind of servant there is.
But when it comes to this sycophant technique, then Lord Xue is really not as powerful as this Gu Gangqian.
"You're here to stabilize your family, so why should I blame you?" The emperor is not stupid, and he knows Gu Gangqian's thoughts, but he still has to say what he says.
"Thank you, Father." Gu Gangqian thanked the emperor but did not sit down.
Poured herself a glass of wine, turned around, and faced Gu Shenyuan, Jiang Ruanyan's intuition told her that this Gu Gangqian was going to start being a demon.
"Brother Chen, come and give you a toast, first, to thank you for taking care of my father during my absence in the capital, and second, to ......"
Jiang Ruanyan seemed to see him casually glance at himself.
"Second, congratulations on finding the girl you like, which is one step closer to the life you want."
"Ahem." These words immediately aroused the unconcealment of the emperor next to him.
The people of the royal family have always known that what Gu Shenyuan wants is a self-sufficient and free life.
He does not covet the glory and riches of royal life, what he wants is a quiet little world, which is a simple thing for ordinary people, but a luxury for him.
