Section 41 Smell the pear blossom spring again
In the Lingjing Imperial Palace, on the second day of Lin Yuebai's ceremony, a grand banquet was held in the Guanghua Hall this night, and the concubines of each palace and court, the clan, the important ministers and family members of the court all came by order. The first is to congratulate Lin Yuebai on her joy, and the second is that now the queen's pregnancy has spread in Beijing, and the hospital also said that this baby is undoubtedly a male fetus. Li Yao was overjoyed, not only rewarded the queen's palace and the Tai Hospital up and down, but he was still not enough, and said that he wanted to have fun with the people, so there was a night banquet on this day.
At this moment, on the main hall of Guanghua Palace, sitting on the top is naturally Emperor Li Yao, the Queen Mother and the Empress Lin Yuebai, Yao Jin is the chief of the seat, and the food in front of him is the same as the queen, no matter what the palace people send up, Lin Yuebai wants to send a portion to Yao Jin, and keeps asking her if she is tired, hot or not, whether she is used to eating today's dishes, as if the pregnant person is Yao Jin, not herself. Although everyone in the palace looked at Yao Jin with respect and envy, everyone also knew in their hearts that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was suffering from the criticism of the world because she gave her vassal country back to the Li Dynasty as a congratulatory gift to congratulate the new queen, and the emperor's various preferential treatment to her at this time was just for the sake of the extremely heavy congratulatory gift, so people looked at Yao Jin with a little contempt, or ridicule, how could Yao Jin not know this? But she didn't seem to care about these strange eyes, from the beginning of the banquet to the present, she just sat calmly in her seat, did not talk to anyone, and did not toast the emperor and the queen mother according to the routine, occasionally in response to Lin Yuebai's worried gaze, she would smile faintly, raise the teacup in front of her, and drink it all as if she was drinking.
And Lin Yuebai, who can be called the happiest woman in the Li Dynasty today, not only has a peerless appearance that women all over the world envy, but also has the love of the youngest emperor in the world and the glory of a country. However, the most rare thing is that although the ring itself is luxurious and dazzling, it is very delicate and small, and the silk and pearls are densely seamed, as if the pearls come out of the collar and are worn on Lin Yuebai's body, which makes her skin like cream, and her eyebrows are also worried and happy, as if she is a fairy in the sky, so that people don't even dare to blaspheme half a point. And Li Yao seemed to be afraid that she would fly, so he firmly held Lin Yuebai's right hand from beginning to end, and refused to let go for a moment, Lin Yuebai couldn't take it off if he wanted to lift his chopsticks to pick up vegetables, so he had to sit like this all the time. Although Li Yao is now the emperor of the Ninety-Five, he is not afraid of being seen and discussed, he saw that Lin Yuebai was not easy to do, so he did not hesitate to stretch out his hand to do it for him- So under the attention of the people in the hall, although Lin Yuebai couldn't suppress the blush on her face, she could only feed her every spoonful and chopstick by Li Yao, she slowly chewed the delicacies in her mouth, and pressed her left hand the cushion next to her, the smile on her face was dignified and gentle, but it seemed to imply great forbearance, but in the eyes of everyone in the hall, there was only endless envy.
Seeing that Yao Jin rarely moved her chopsticks, Lin Yuebai seemed to be a little unable to swallow, she leaned in the direction of Yao Jin, and said softly: "Ah Yao, aren't today's dishes appetizing? ”
"The queen gives the eldest princess the same dishes as herself, you must know that the queen is pregnant, the diet is light, the eldest princess may be tasteless to eat," Li Yao smiled slightly, and nodded at Li Nan: "Go, take out a pot of pear blossom spring wine from the widow and give it to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to drink." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yao Jin hadn't done anything yet, but Lin Yuebai's face changed, her tone was a little cold, and she said straight to Li Yao: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has been unwell recently and can't drink, you know." ”
"It's not that the eldest princess can't drink, right or wrong is good wine, don't worry, a pot of wine can't get drunk. Li Yao finally let go of the hand holding Lin Yuebai, and reached out to pick up the wine glass in front of him: "Yao Jin, Liangchen wine, how about drinking this cup with the imperial brother?"
At this time, Li Nan had carefully served a pot of fragrant pear blossom spring wine to Yao Jin, and slowly poured a cup and put it in her hand, Yao Jin's gaze slowly swept over Li Nan's eyes that seemed to be concerned and seemed sympathetic, took the wine glass and slowly stood up.
"The last time I heard of this wine, it seems that the first emperor gave a banquet in the gilded platform and drank with the three princes of Fujian at that time, and heard that the gilded platform at that time was full of wine, and the people where they all praised this wine like a jade wine, just drink a glass can be unforgettable for a lifetime, it is really a rare wine in the world. It's a pity that the method of making wine has long been lost, and I heard that even the palace has only stored less than ten jars, and today the imperial brother gave him such a precious wine, and the courtiers are happy and grateful!"
Lin Yuebai pursed her lips and was silent, after a while, she said that she wanted to change her clothes, and slowly got up with Li Yao's support, Ayuan and Ameng helped her leave the table left and right, and when she walked in front of Yao Jin, Lin Yuebai suddenly stopped, and said, "The eldest princess has also drunk a lot, why don't you go with the palace?"
"Yes. Yao Jin rose in response. She came alone, without a maid by her side, and walked to Ayuan's side after getting up, and took Lin Yuebai's arm from her hand, she just glanced at Ameng by the way, Ameng took a few steps back, and Yao Jin and Lin Yuebai walked out slowly in front of each other. And Li Yao looked at the backs of the two of them clinging to each other, and with a smile without warmth, he crushed the crystal moist purple grape in his hand.
