The royal banquet, even if it is held outside the palace, the rules are extremely strict. The entourage guards could only wait outside the park, but Lin Shaoxuan fortunately had a casual job, and there were two people with him, Jinke Zhuangyuan and Jiang Jinyu, and the guards guarding the door were willing to let him in. As for Lao Niu and Xiao Fang, they could only squat outside the door and wait.

The two thanked the little officials who led the way from the Ministry of Rites, and took Zheng Qi and other seven new science and technology scholars into the garden with everyone.

The emperor and the concubine have not yet arrived, they will only appear for a while at the dinner, and they are all at the mercy of the guests before.

Lin Shaoxuan has been an imperial businessman for several years, this is the first time he has seen the royal style, and under curiosity, he doesn't care if there is a crisis or not, he pulls Jiang Jinyu to wander around the garden at will.

On this day, the incense garden is indeed full of flowers, and famous flowers and plants are planted everywhere. Varieties that are rare to see in ordinary people can be seen almost everywhere here. Jiang Jinyu himself is an idiot, and he is also very good at studying peonies, and seeing that Lin Shaoxuan likes it, he simply accompanies him to watch and appreciate it.

"Hey, look, this peony is very suitable for you, I don't know what variety it is, let's buy a few and go back to plant and play." Lin Shaoxuan suddenly smelled a very elegant fragrance, followed the incense, and saw a white peony blooming next to the rockery.

Each peony has the size of a sea bowl, and the petals are overlapped like clouds, like jade carving, which is really a collection of luxurious grace and elegant and noble in one, just like a jade lang that makes people longing for it but dare not get close to it.

Jiang Jinyu hurriedly stopped to watch this strange flower, sighed lightly and said with satisfaction: "I have heard that the name of the royal treasure peony holy product is Suxue, I am afraid it is this plant, and it is really fragrant and clear, beautiful but not demonic." ”

Jiang Jinyu loved this rare famous flower, and pulled Lin Shaoxuan to sit down on the stone bench by the rockery for a while, but she didn't know that he had also become a scenery in the eyes of others.

Two little palace ladies came on the pebble road, and when they saw the two of them sitting, they politely brought a tea tray, with two cups of new tea on the plate, and two plates of fresh fruits. The two palace ladies set up the refreshments in an orderly manner, and bowed respectfully, and retreated without saying a word, which made Lin Jiang and the others confused.

"What?" Lin Shaoxuan said strangely. It's not a buffet here, and I don't see anyone serving tea.

Jiang Jinyu picked up the teacup and smelled it, checked the fruit pastry again, shook her head and said, "It's not poisonous." ”

"Tsk, that's weird. Didn't you say that someone was trying to harm you? What's going on here? Lin Shaoxuan believed in Jiang Jinyu's nose, since he said that there was no problem, he was naturally happy to enjoy it.

The two Gong E's tones walked away, and when they looked back at no one around, they both looked at each other and sneered.

"Let's go, report to the princess."

The two laughed a few words, and even ran and laughed in disregard of the royal rules, and after a while, they ran into a palatial small building.

"Princess, the slave has seen it."

"Dead girl, there are no rules at all." A coquettish and tactful voice sounded, and someone said inside the curtain: "Hongshan, you come." ”

Who are the two little palace ladies and why they sent refreshments, Lin Jiang and the others don't know, they are sitting in the lace, originally wanting to avoid the crowd, but they can't avoid the people they are looking for.

The person who came was Jiang Jinyan, who brought them into this peony banquet.

"Third brother, why do you sit here, go, go in with my brother, and I'll introduce you to a few sons of the family."

Hey, there is nothing to be courteous or a thief, the person who has always loved to bully Jinyu suddenly became enthusiastic about him, if there is no cat in this, Lin Shaoxuan really can't believe it.

Jiang Jinyu didn't believe it either, not to mention that he had already been warned by Lu Yiyi. He pulled out a faint smile on his lips, arched his hand at Jiang Jinyan, and said, "Big brother, little brother doesn't like to be lively, let's sit here and wait for the banquet." ”

"Oh, what's the point of sitting here, let's go in, let's go in and play."

Jiang Jinyan came to pull him as he spoke, Jiang Jinyu had no choice but to stand up helplessly, "The eldest brother will invite you first, and the younger brother will arrive later." ”

"Okay, I'll go first, you must come!"

Jiang Jinyan walked away step by step, and Jiang Jinyu frowned behind him. "What the hell is he going to do?"

"Don't care what he's going to do, let's collect some interest first." Lin Shaoxuan smiled sheepishly and took out a wax pill from the sachet, "When I walked to him, I crushed it and bounced it into his collar." ”

What is he going to do Jiang Jinyu has always been conniving, and seeing him smiling sly at this moment, Jiang Jinyu's heart moved.

"What do you want to do?"

"You'll find out later. Let's go. Lin Shaoxuan threw the core in his hand, pulled Jiang Jinyu and followed.

Jiang Jinyu picked up the wax pill and looked at it, the pill with the size of her little finger, I don't know what it contained. No matter what it is, since his brother asked him to make a move, Jiang Jinyan must have suffered this time.

The two walked a few steps closely, and saw Jiang Jinyan laughing with a few people in front. Jiang Jinyu pinched it gently, the wax pill cracked, and a wisp of strange fragrance overflowed, and the sweetness in the fragrance was good. He flicked his fingers, and the incense pill fell between Jiang Jinyan's inner and outer collars with an arc.

"Perfect!" Lin Shaoxuan laughed, looked left and right, and pulled him to find an open place to stand. "Let's wait for the show."

"What's that?" Jiang Jinyu asked quietly.

"It's a good thing, I accidentally got it when I was mixing perfume." Lin Shaoxuan smiled treacherously and suddenly pulled him to his side. "Be careful, good friend is coming."

Pal? Who? Jiang Jinyu raised her head, and suddenly heard a buzzing sound in her ears, the sound was getting closer and closer, and the so-called good friends were actually a swarm of bees.

Those bees were attracted by the aroma, and only when there was nectar to be harvested here, they flew towards Jiang Jinyan one after another, hovering around him. It's just one or two, it's just that Jiang Jinyan raised his sleeves to catch up, but this is a garden, there are already many wild bees and butterflies, and those bees are attracted when they smell the sweet fragrance, and they gather more and more around Jiang Jinyan.

Although people are relatively large, many people are afraid of some insignificant things, such as cockroaches, which can be trampled to death with one kick, but many people will be scared by it and scream. Jiang Jinyan was frightened by these buzzing little things at this moment.

In fact, bees don't want to sting people at all, they just want to collect honey. It's a pity that Jiang Jinyan didn't have honey on his body, how did he know what these little things were going to do, these bees flew around him, and some of them landed on him, scaring away all the people who were talking with him, and Jiang Jinyan was so frightened that he waved his two sleeves non-stop.

"Go away, go away!" He kept driving away, and at last the bees regarded him as an enemy, and left the vicious tail needles on his face and body without hesitation.

Looking at Jiang Jinyan, who kept screaming and running away, Lin Shaoxuan couldn't help but smack his lips, "It's terrible, it's terrible, it's enough for him to drink a pot." ”

"You're so bad!" Jiang Jinyu glanced at him amusedly, "He can't participate in tonight's peony banquet." ”

Seeing a few attendants holding pine branches and lighting a fire to drive away the bees, Lin Shaoxuan said unsatisfactorily: "It's a pity, there are too many people here, otherwise I have a way to trick him." ”

"Well, he has also been taught a lesson, so I don't know if he understands it and stops it in time." Jiang Jinyu watched a free show, and waited for the bees to disperse before following everyone to see his eldest brother.

It's miserable! Jiang Jinyan's face was swollen with many large bags on his hands, and his eyes were swollen into a line, and an attendant took him to the side room, where the medical officer was pulling out thorns and applying medicine.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Jiang Jinyu couldn't help laughing and pretended to care.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Jiang Jinyan's mouth was also stung, and he was a little uneasy to speak, "You go and play by yourself for a while, don't run around, the banquet is going to be held soon, I'll look for you later." ”

"Yes, I see." Jiang Jinyu saw that he looked like he was slightly injured and couldn't get out of the line of fire, so he didn't bother to act with him anymore, so he pulled Lin Shaoxuan around and walked out.

What the hell is this big brother waiting for? The face is swollen like this and still doesn't go? Jiang Jinyu can't guess it, and she doesn't bother to guess, let's see the move.

The two walked around the garden at random, greeting and laughing with a few people they knew, and it didn't take long for the attendants to invite them. The hour is almost up, and the feast is about to begin.

This is the first time Lin Shaoxuan has participated in an ancient state banquet, and I don't know what the emperor looks like, whether he will be as domineering and cute as the emperor Ama in the TV series. Lin Shaoxuan stood in line with the crowd on one side, and on the other side there were some daughters of life.

After waiting for a short time, an attendant shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" Lin Shaoxuan knelt down and saluted with everyone, and read a few words in his mouth, "Long live the emperor, long live!" ”

"Everyone Aiqing is flat, today's peony banquet doesn't have to be too formal." The emperor's voice sounded very gentle, not at all the momentum that the emperor should have.

Lin Shaoxuan is a five-grade petty official, and he still mixed in with others, and the seat was arranged at the end of the door, Jiang Jinyu also accompanied him to the back, but a palace person specially came over and led him forward.

Be careful! The two exchanged glances and had to sit separately.

Without Yulang by his side, Lin Shaoxuan was not uncomfortable. This was the first time, and he had never been so far away from Jinyu. Even if they met at the West Lake Painting Boat back then, he seized the opportunity to hold Jiang Jinyu's little hand and talk endlessly, but he didn't expect to be ruthlessly separated now.

Lin Shaoxuan was not happy, but he couldn't have a seizure. The emperor and the concubines are sitting on it, and there are King Chun, King An and many ladies and ladies sitting on both sides, where is his place to speak.

Forget it, don't bother with these ancients. Lin Shaoxuan had no choice but to comfort himself. He's not here to eat, drink and have fun, he still has to protect Jinyu.

The emperor was speaking, and Lin Shaoxuan sat too far away to hear clearly. Anyway, no one paid attention to him, a little person, his eyes were purring, and he carefully looked at the top of the list.

The emperor looked about fifty miles away, his skin was loose and his eyes were dull, and he had no heavenly majesty at all. The woman next to her who looks dignified and charming is a concubine, right? It is indeed five points similar to the little prince Zhao Cong. The big white fat man in a purple python robe sitting under King Chun's head is not King An? Both men had smiles on their faces, and there was not a hint of hostility on their faces.

Lin Shaoxuan, the other high-ranking officials and noblewomen, didn't know him, his eyes rolled wildly, and he suddenly found Jinyu's father Jiang Shilang in the crowd, Jiang Jinyan sat beside him with a swollen face, and his eyes showed excitement and expectation.

If you get hurt like this, you won't leave? The face is gone, what is he expecting?
