Chapter Twenty-Six: The Storm of the Reception Banquet
The prince of Nanwu brought the princess to Beijing, this is a big event, although the timing of this major event is very wrong, but Lin Chenan can only send someone to entertain him, and his mind to find the queen is also a little lighter. At this juncture, the Queen Mother didn't say anything, I don't know if she was frightened by Qiao Yanran's actions, or by Lin Chen'an, in short, that incident slowly fell silent.
Of course, it is also possible that it is only superficial!
The distinguished guests came to visit, and they also brought their female dependents, which must have asked the queen to come forward, but for so many years, Qiao Yanran has almost never attended such an occasion, and it is precisely because of this that there is no such person, and there is no panic.
In her place, it was still the noble concubine!
Before the banquet began, the emperor asked Gonggong Zou to pass the word, this is a critical time, and the other party is also an important person, although Gonggong Zou only nodded a few words, but the noble concubine understood.
So, the emperor is going to take charge of the government seriously?
Or how can you say that Qiao Yanran is the person who knows Lin Chen'an best? Over the years, Lin Chen'an has been full of posture on the surface, even if he is the one who quietly cleans the Queen Mother, he has also made a full posture, as if everything is for the woman he has in mind, but what the truth is, few people can really see it, except for Qiao Yanran!
Just before the banquet began, Xiao Jiu quietly handed over the words: "The master wants to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the city, the more lively the banquet, the better!" ”
Concubine Gao curled the corners of her mouth, that's it...... It's so lively!
The beginning of the banquet is still like that, the emperor and the queen mother sit high on the top, the courtiers are scattered, at this time the prince of Xuan Nanwu went to the palace, the posture is full, as if the world has only arrived now, this kind of style, the emperor and the queen mother are very useful.
"The prince and princess of Nanwu have arrived!"
The sound was long and long, and everyone stood up, including Lin Chen'an and the Queen Mother.
Two figures gradually appeared at the door, Lin Chen'an took two steps forward, as if he wanted to greet him, but really, he took two steps, and he was still far from the steps.
"It's annoying!" Ji Yan muttered, "Is this treating us all as fools? Just don't stand up! ”
Hearing his sister's complaint, Ji Tang smiled in his heart, this sister is really to the point, he didn't say anything, and he didn't stop Ji Yan. This is a stunt that belongs to the brother and sister, and when they were young, they practiced at various banquets of all sizes, and no one could see that the two were talking, let alone hear.
"Nanwu Prince Ji Tang and the second princess Ji Yan greet the Lord of Great Qi!" Ji Tang pondered for a moment and added: "Greetings to the Queen Mother!" ”
was not ignored, which made the Queen Mother very happy, but she just hummed lightly on the shelf, and handed over the rest to Lin Chen's morning.
After some politeness, everyone took their seats, and the delicacies that had already been placed on the table were on the table, and at this time, several palace maids entered the hall and set up drinks for each table.
Lin Chen'an raised his glass, first saluted the princess of Nanwu, and after re-seating, Zou Gonggong announced the dance.
Ji Tang is an upright person, and so is Ji Yan, but in their country, dancing is dancing, no matter how much she wears, she will never hook people with her eyes.
Therefore, when Ji Yan saw Ji Tang, who received an eye invitation at the beginning, the joy blossomed.
"Brother Prince, you are still very popular!"
Although he knew that this would not be heard, Ji Tang still blushed, no one in Nanwu knew about it, and the prince was very dedicated.
After dancing for a long time, Ji Tang finally couldn't help it, and cast a look at Ji Yan for help!
Syllable!
Just when everyone was watching the dance seriously, Ji Yan directly threw the cup in her hand and hit the dancer directly.
The servants were momentarily at a loss, stopped moving, and the music gradually stopped, and there was an eerie silence.
"I wonder what made the princess so angry?" Lin Chen'an asked in a deep voice, he has been in contact with this princess, he will not be so rude, of course, his comparison object is Ji Ya who mocked the Queen Mother last time, so it seems that Ji Yan is indeed very well-behaved.
"Dance and dance, why seduce my prince brother with his eyes, when this palace does not exist?" When Ji Yan coldly reprimanded, she was also quite imposing.
This...... Lin Chenan looked at the Queen Mother, and sure enough, it was the handiwork of this god again.
Before he could speak, Ji Yan began to count again: "The last time this palace came to Daqi, I had never seen such an unruly minion!" ”
"Drag it off!" Lin Chen'an immediately made a decision and called the guards: "Dare to be rude to the distinguished guests, where will I lose face?" Gouge out this woman's eyes to set an example! ”
To set an example? Who is it for?
The Queen Mother's face turned a little pale!
On the other hand, Ji Yan didn't expect this, although it was nothing to seduce the superior and gouge out her eyes, but she never thought that Lin Chen'an would make a decision so quickly, let alone announce it on the spot.
In fact, at this time, it is necessary for Nanwu to come forward to intercede, but there are two people, one is the troubled Ji Yan, which is naturally not suitable, and the other is the prince who was seduced, if he opens his mouth to intercede, he will immediately be buttoned up with a hat that is confused by women, maybe they haven't gone back, this woman has been washed and sent to bed, naturally, it is not suitable!
For a while, there was a bit of tension!
Only Lin Chenan and the Queen Mother know that this is a contest between the two of them!
The servant was dragged down, and Gonggong Zou was a clever man, so he asked his subordinates to directly change the program, originally, a banquet would not only arrange a dance.
It's just that this second show is also quite interesting!
When Beiyan was still there, people liked an activity very much, and it had something to do with dancing, but the dancing were all men, and they needed to go on the stage barefoot.
This is an elegant way to play, but in fact, everyone knows that this game was first passed out from the Chu Pavilion, and it was a means for them to openly sell themselves. Later, a literati accidentally wrote down this method, which later attracted the attention of high-ranking officials and their relatives, and after some improvement, it became a major feature of Beiyan.
However, that is the characteristic of Beiyan!
Ji Tang wanted to laugh a little, this country, after all, it still has to be returned to the original owner!
In fact, Lin Chen'an also knew about it, but he had nothing to do, Daqi had only been established for more than ten years, and the things in the court were enough for him to have a headache, and he really didn't have time to develop these entertainment activities. Before the feast, the noble concubine reported this matter to him, and he agreed after thinking about it, and he believed that this was also a means to show his generosity, especially tolerance for the culture of the previous dynasty.
But he hadn't seen this show before, so he didn't know that these men could wear so sexy, and although he covered it up, the thing under his crotch was still a little looming.
Lin Chen'an sat on the high seat, watching the two people in Nanwu playing hide and seek, and he had a stomachache.
"Brother Prince, I want to see it!" Ji Yan avoided the prince's sleeve dissatisfied, she had never seen such a scene, so she was naturally a little curious.
"Obedient, this is not something that the little girl's family can see." Ji Tang is not easy to break, after all, it is Yunying's unmarried daughter's family, although Nanwu is open, there is really no such thing.
He tightened his sleeves!
The ministers present didn't think it was wrong, and there was such a thing at almost every banquet, but they didn't think much about it. It's just that they forget that there are some women at those banquets, and it is too late for them to rejoice in this level of exposure, and sometimes they even discuss a few words in private.
Naturally, these are things that men don't know!
In fact, the person is really not exposed, but for the convenience of painting, the clothes are only attached to the body, the waist is slightly covered, and there are some things, but when it rotates, the object can still reveal the shape, looming, and it is the most seductive!
Ji Tang of this meeting can't say if he is bitter, he never knew that such a game could still be brought to the state banquet, but what can he say? Under normal circumstances, normal men naturally don't stare at that place, and women pretend not to see it, if it weren't for a sister by their side, maybe they would be relieved to read it, but ...... What's going on!
Lin Chen'an was also very painful, in fact, he was a little high, he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but Ji Tang's movements were too obvious, and he knew what was going on with a little thought, and he began to feel inappropriate, but what was aggrieved was that he couldn't stop yet, otherwise it would seem that he was a little dirty as a monarch.
What a desperate banquet!
Finally, Ji Yan broke free from her brother's obstruction, but the person in the field had finished all the movements, and the palace maid put those blank papers side by side, and put them together to be a beautiful landscape painting, which shows the depth of the dancer's attainments.
Ji Tang originally changed a few words, but he didn't want to speak at all.
"Yes, yes, this painting is very exquisite, and Daqi has hidden a lot of talented people!" Although she only saw the results, Ji Yan couldn't help but praise: "I wonder if this painting can be given to Ji Yan?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Chen'an saw Ji Tang's face turn green little by little, so he smiled: "Thanks to the princess's love, it's just that this painting has been booked." ”
The noble concubine was a little uneasy in her heart, and sure enough, the one above spoke.
"Before the feast, my concubine had already asked me for it." Lin Chen'an continued, "If the princess likes it, I will immediately send someone to find some precious calligraphy and paintings!" ”
"That's it!" Ji Yan didn't think much about it, "Since it has been ordered, how can there be a reason to win people's love." ”
Ji Tang really loves this generous sister to death, if he really sends it over, I'm afraid he will be suffocated to death!
The first two programs were unsatisfactory, Lin Chen'an couldn't hang up a little on his face, and when the noble concubine saw it, she immediately stood up.
"Princess Ji, long time no see!"
"Huh? It's you! For this lady who can accompany her to drink bamboo leaf tea, Ji Yan is very impressed, and she likes it a little.
Ji Tang glanced back and relaxed.
Anyway, it looks like a normal person!
