Text 398 Banquet at the Palace
Li Hong didn't expect anything to emerge from his words in this short conversation with Li Xian, but when Li Hong said that Li Zhong and Helan Minyue were dead, Li Xian's expression was still a little different from Li Zhe's.
Although Li Xian's expression was reasonable, Li Hong could still feel that this guy was still a little unprepared for his sudden mention.
And Li Zhe's expression was much richer, and he wanted to talk to himself, but every time he was about to open his mouth, he would be diverted by Li Xian, and even occasionally a few times, he was forced back by Li Xian with his eyes.
But in any case, Li Hong has already decided that even if the deaths of Li Zhong and Helan Minyue have nothing to do with Li Xian, it is indeed a definite fact that there is an estrangement between Li Xian and himself.
Li Hong had already begun to go to the palace where he was eating, and in the room over there, Wu Mei had already accepted the generous gifts that Yiyang and Gao An had prepared for her with a smile.
The golden cicada jade leaf, this treasure that was originally in the palace, because Li Lingyue liked the Jin Zhi on the jade leaf, crying and shouting that she had to let Li Hong cut it off for her and put it on her head, so a good treasure was smashed by the brothers and sisters, leaving only a jade leaf like a cabbage leaf in Wu Mei's room.
The gilded incense was once used by Li Hong to pretend to be a grub when he was a child, and the squeaky cry at night scared Wu Meixia to wake up, and the palace maid rummaged over and over again on the bed naked, but he didn't find where the cry came from.
In the end, Wu Mei, who was overwhelmed, found the gilded incense that Li Zhi hadn't even found for two days from under the sleeping Li Hong's bare buttocks, but inside was a fat and strong cicada screaming, and as for the incense, it was naturally thrown away a long time ago.
So someone was beaten by Wu Mei while he was asleep, and after someone woke up the next day, he told his mother that his buttocks hurt.
Wu Mei was surprised and asked, "Didn't you wake up last night?" ”
"Oh, it turns out that the queen mother beat the child, and the child still thinks it's a dream."
“……。” Wu Mei was speechless for a moment, I was beating him in my dreams, how many bad things I had to do.
As for the beast agate cup, not to mention, when the little rabbit cub was three years old, when his father was playing, he suddenly turned his head to talk to himself, and unknowingly urinated in the beast agate cup, and Li Zhi, who turned around and didn't pay attention, just picked it up, and was splashed by the boy's urine inside.
So someone who had not yet become the prince at that time, in front of his dragon mother in front of his dragon father, was beaten so badly that his buttocks were swollen for three days, and the palace was also rare for three days.
But since that day, the bunny's pants, especially on his buttocks and knees, have begun to have thick cotton pads.
As for the other gifts that Yiyang and Gao An took, most of them are inextricably related to Li Hong, and they are basically treasures related to Li Hong's childhood.
And Wu Mei naturally understood the intentions of the two of them, so as to show herself the position of their princess after marriage, and also to explain to her that the two sisters would stand in Li Hong's position at any time.
Of course, it is natural that they also use these gifts to please her, hoping that they can enter and leave this palace after they get married, especially to be able to go to the residence of the Xiao family.
However, Wu Mei naturally did not open her mouth and told Yiyang and Gao An that they could visit her mother when they had nothing to do.
As a queen, her noble pride and self-esteem obviously will not allow them to do this, although she was able to enter the palace back then, and there was a suspicion that Concubine Xiao Shufei would win her over to deal with the queen and queen, but at that time, she is now the queen of the world, and it is extremely commendable to be able to allow her to interact with His Majesty with a closed eye.
Yiyang and Gao An obviously didn't hope that these gifts would make the queen promise them anything, not to mention that they entered the palace this time just to thank the queen, and when they got married that day, they gave them the royal treatment, and they didn't dare to covet what the queen could promise them.
Wu Mei was also very satisfied with the reactions and expressions of the two, with her sharp eyes of observing words and colors, she could naturally see that the two girls came to see her, and she was completely grateful to her from the bottom of her heart, so as a queen, she would not be too childish.
At the door of Penglai Palace, in front of Li Hong and others, he kindly held the hands of the two daughters, and he didn't even care about his own princess, which could be regarded as giving Li Hong enough face, and at the same time, it also made Li Xian and others less worried about whether they would bully Yiyang and Gao An in the future.
Surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, the three of them were like three sisters, talking and laughing, leisurely, and wandering to the dining room.
Li Hong led Li Xian and others to wait for Wu Mei and others at the door, and after being reprimanded for no reason, someone followed Wu Mei with a cheeky face and walked into the dining room.
Even if their dragon father is not there, the seat next to the dragon mother has to be empty, Li Hong, who is watching, thought maliciously, if the dragon father has three long and two short in Liaodong, wouldn't he have to put tableware on the dragon father's position, and add a little to each dish?
Naturally, he didn't dare to say such a big rebellious word, and sat down next to the other side of the dragon mother, and the other side was empty over the position of the dragon father, followed by Yiyang and Gao An, as well as Li Lingyue.
Li Xian, Li Zhe and Li Dan were naturally next to Li Hong, and sitting at the bottom was the master of the horse who had never had any status in the Tang Dynasty.
Quan Yi and Wang Xun are familiar with Li Hong, but with the queen, it seems that they have only met three or four times now, and they are naturally cramped and uneasy during the banquet, and after the meal, they don't know whether the little food they eat during the banquet can give the stomach a bottom, and it is definitely necessary to add food after they go back.
Someone watched the palace maid bring up the must-have dish of peach blossoms on that snowy night, and then poured water on it, and subconsciously stopped and asked, "Is your imperial dining room only going to make a fuss about this dish?" Wouldn't the other dishes do the same? Straight like this, don't you think you'll get tired of aesthetics? ”
"Aesthetic fatigue? You just say that you're tired of eating, isn't it! Or you go out and wait! Wu Mei's face suddenly sank when she heard Li Hong's words, and there was also a little embarrassing reason for it, so she was quite unreasonable.
This dish has become a must-have delicacy in every banquet in the Tang Imperial Family, although the dishes are tired of eating, but mainly for the atmosphere, the atmosphere of the clouds and mist, like a fairyland, otherwise the royal dining room would have replaced this dish a long time ago.
Li Hong said just now, so it was instantly clear, yes, the dishes can be changed, but this fairyland-like cloud can be retained, how did I forget to be flexible, and now after being reminded by the son of unfilial piety, it is natural that my face is a little unbearable, and I think it is a treasure thing, and it is not worth it to be said by him, and it is strange not to be angry.
Li Lingyue ignored the queen mother's reprimand for the imperial brother, and with the escort of the palace maid, she had already begun to attack the dishes she liked to eat.
Grape brewing is naturally indispensable, and Wu Mei's wine volume is also very good, when the healthy dragon father and the dragon mother fought for wine, most of the time the dragon father was poured down by the dragon mother.
And during this banquet, except for Li Hong, who dared to drink with the queen of the world at will, including Li Xian, he drank in a decent manner, but he did not dare to slack off in front of the queen.
Moreover, Li Xian and Li Zhe were drunk in the East Palace and were reprimanded by Wu Mei at the beginning, so they have rarely drunk excessively since these days.
Today, Jing Wu Mei said: "It is rare for the prince to be filial, and he also knows that he comes to the harem to accompany the palace to eat, and today Xian'er and Zhe'er don't have to be restrained, and the palace allows you to enjoy today, as well as Yiyang and Gao'an, and they are not allowed to be restrained today." ”
The court musicians in the corner slowly played the flowing tunes, and naturally there were also indispensable singers and dancers performing there.
The crystal cup inlaid with gold proposed by Wu Mei looks noble and mysterious against the backdrop of bright red grapes and lights.
Li Hong drank to the fullest, and under Wu Mei's provocation, he held the bottle in his hand and the cup in his hand, first with his dragon mother with a full cup, and then with Li Xian and Li Zhe, after passing the little fat man Li Dan, he also drank a full cup with Quan Yi and Wang Xun.
Li Lingyue, who is a big ghost, wanted to toast with the imperial brother, but was pressed on the head by the imperial brother, and her whole face fell into the sweet and delicious cake specially prepared for her.
Li Lingyue, who raised her little face again, was neither angry nor crying, but also stuck out her tongue and licked the cake on her face, giggling and continuing to eat the cake she liked.
Yiyang and Gao An have been with Li Hong for many years, needless to say, after the whole cup of grapes is brewed, the cheeks of the next son are flushed, and the delicate and dripping lovely, plus a little drunk Wu Mei, the third daughter has naturally become the most amorous person in the entire hall.
Wu Mei tasted the grape wine, elegantly held the crystal cup, and said with a slight drunkenness: "Li Hong, it is naturally excellent to have wine and songs, it is said that you have been worrying a lot recently, what about me...... I won't force you to write poems, but the palace has appreciated enough of the palace music and dance, and I heard that your east palace has hidden the four major oirans of Chang'an, and I don't know if the palace can be honored to appreciate it. ”
Wu Mei's words are simply very happy, but Li Xian and Li Zhe excitedly shouted that the queen mother is wise, even Yiyang and Gao An are also looking forward to it, and the four major people who are famous in Chang'an know it, and they have long wanted to see it, what beautiful people they are, and they can make the literati and writers of Chang'an and the children of the family regard them as all known.
Filled the crystal cup in Wu Mei's hand with grapes, Li Hong, who was also drunk, looked at Long Ma's expression, how could there be any reason that he didn't understand, the words were so straightforward, if he didn't summon Xue Chu'er and them into the palace, it would be really a big rebellion.
The sons obeyed, and the sons summoned them to the palace and presented a song for the queen mother. Hua Meng, stunned to do it. If you leave halfway through, press CTRL+D to save the current page to your favorites so you can watch it later!
