Chapter 036: Flower Banquet
The so-called flower feast is not only to enjoy the flowers, but also to taste the flowers.
The imperial chef makes flowers into all kinds of food and drink, flower tea, flower cakes, flower soups, flower cakes, which are directly made of flowers as ingredients, as well as flower wine, flower brew, flower sauce, which are also fragrant and delicious.
In addition, the nobles and ladies at the banquet wore fragrant clothes and sideburns, and wore rings and bells. Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, flowers are not smoky, and the wind is fragrant.
The little gentlemen in Chang'an City did not regard receiving the invitation to the Queen Mother's flower banquet as a kind of glory, and it was not much better than yesterday's Qixi Night Banquet.
"This is really drinking flower wine." As soon as Li Changfeng sat down, he tasted the peach blossom brew poured for him by the palace maid, and it was full of sweetness.
Cui Jinyun laughed: "Li Er, you're almost twenty-five, right?" When you come to this place, what kind of wine do you drink? Hurry up and pick a famous little lady to take back. ”
"You two are older than me, you are not in a hurry, why am I in a hurry? If I wanted to find a little lady, would I be stupid enough to sit next to you two? Isn't this self-inflicted? ”
Li Changfeng didn't care about being their foil, just staring at the various pastries on the table.
"Why did you just sit down? Have you seen the ginkgo tree next to the rain pavilion? It was really full of gold, and it was spectacular. ”
Li Wenren is as his name suggests, he is a gentle and jade-like person, but he is a little less decisive in killing.
The three of them stood up and saluted, and really followed him to the east side of the rain pavilion. In the distance, I saw a golden ginkgo tree and its golden leaves. Between heaven and earth, there is nothing but the golden eyes.
"It's really golden."
Cui Jinyun and Zheng Hao glanced at each other, and they both laughed meaningfully.
"Master, didn't you say that the academy should hold a Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club to expand its support for poor students? How about I donate a year's income from the field and give you a start-up? ”
Li Wen still likes to call Zheng Hao "master" in private, which is also the reason why Cui Gongzi, who is not used to looking at the royal family, can tolerate this big prince in his eyes.
Zheng Hao smiled: "King Yun is willing, but he is disrespectful, then this first society, let His Royal Highness be the proprietor, and a certain will be the commander for you." ”
"I'm the proprietor, very good, very good!" Li Wen was overjoyed.
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
Li Wen looked back, and his sister walked behind them at some point, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are here." We said that we wanted to form a Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Society, and I would be the proprietor. ”
"Among the poetry and literary talents of our Celestial Empire, there are many talents who are worried about the country and the people, and my brother should make more friends. Next month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when the time comes, you must take your sister to open your eyes. ”
The last time Li Xuan'er saw Li Shangyin and Pi Rixiu at Sogo Academy, she knew that Brother Ah was different from the past.
Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
It's just that the eldest son of the emperor, the more talented he is, the more hated he is. Li Xuan'er was in a hurry to find her brother because she ......
"Help!"
A cry for help was heard from the direction of the rain pavilion.
Li Xuan'er grabbed the brother who was about to rush over, but before she could speak, Zheng Hao pushed Li Changfeng:
"Li Er, don't go over and take a look, the person who called you! His Royal Highness King Yun, you and Her Royal Highness the Princess went down to report to the Empress Dowager Zheng, there are us here. ”
His tone was firm, and Li Wen did not hesitate to pull his sister towards the banquet hall. Li Xuan'er was dragged away, and the sound of General Li blowing a bone whistle was already heard in her ears.
The bone whistle is thin and high-pitched, and it makes people feel their scalp tingle when they hear it. Soon, there was a stumble of footsteps all around. Jin Wujun, who was in charge of the palace guard in the eastern courtyard, ran towards the Ziyu Pavilion.
Li Xuan'er ran to the imperial grandmother, only to react that her wrist was grabbed by her brother and hurt.
She was a little skeptical that Zheng Hao and her brother often practiced such emergencies. Fortunately, this time there happened to be General Li by his side, so that his brother was framed for no reason, and Jin Wuwei should be able to save Erlang back.
"Grandmother, it seems to be Jiro's voice that I heard just now." Xuan'er waited for her brother to finish speaking, and added.
"Erlang? Erlang is sick, why did he run to the edge of the liquid pool? Fu'an, take someone to take a look. Empress Dowager Zheng was anxious because Erlang had been sick since he was a child and had been by her side, so she naturally didn't want anything to go wrong.
With a wave of Fu'an's hand, several chamberlains followed him and ran towards Ziyu Pavilion, and the Li Wen brothers and sisters also followed.
As she was walking, a figure shook in the flowers, Li Xuan'er was quick, rushed over and grabbed the person who was about to run, and scolded: "Shiro! What are you running in a panic? With such an ugly face, did you do something bad? ”
The fourth son of the emperor, Li Zi, and the mother concubine are Wu Zhaoyi, who gossiped about the marriage of Li Xuan'er and Zheng Hao in front of the saint.
Li Zi was held by the collar by the eldest sister, and he couldn't run away, so he had to say sneeringly:
"Eldest brother, eldest sister...... I didn't do anything......"
"Didn't you do it, what are you running in a panic?" Li Wen doesn't like this younger brother, he has more eyes and eyes, and he will be the most obedient in front of his father.
It's okay to be obedient, but in order to show yourself, step on other brothers under your feet, that is, there is a problem with character.
"Didn't do it? Why didn't you get water on your robe? Did you just come from the edge of the pool? Li Xuan'er is not angry, this younger brother, if he doesn't teach a lesson early, he will grow up to be a vicious person in the future.
When Li Wen heard this, is this still worth it? Hurriedly took Li Zi from his sister's hand and carried him to Ziyu Pavilion.
"I'm not leaving! I'm not going! I got my clothes wet by playing with water, so why did you catch me? Li Zi screamed hoarsely, his body fell desperately, and his legs kept rubbing on the ground.
Li Wen was ten years older than him, no matter how he kicked, he wouldn't let go, the closer he got to Ziyu Pavilion, the more panicked Li Zi became, and at a loss, he actually cried.
The reason why the rain pavilion can rain on its own is that the water of the Taiye Pond is continuously pumped to the top of the pavilion, and the water is left along the sloping roof, as if it is raining. So, one side of the pavilion is facing the water.
The second prince Li Mi has been rescued by Li Changfeng himself, Li Mi is weak, soaked in cold water, although he is not dead, his face is as white as a ghost.
No, when he saw Li Zi, his face turned pale: "Fourth and fourth brother, why are you harming me?" ”
"King Yong, don't spew blood! King Kui is still young, how does he know how to harm others? Wu Zhaoyi rushed over in a hurry, hugged Li Zi in his arms, glared at Li Wen and gritted his teeth and said:
"King Yun, don't rely on your old age to bully your younger brother!"
Li Wen was robbed by him, and he forgot what he was going to say before.
Li Xuan'er stepped forward and said, "Erlang, you said it yourself, how did you fall into the water just now?" ”
When Li Miao was still in the Guangwang Mansion, he lost his mother, and after he was sick, he did not take care of his maidservant, so he fell ill, and after entering the Daming Palace, he followed his grandmother and was raised by his grandmother.
What he was most afraid of was Concubine Yuan, followed by Wu Zhaoyi in front of him. Looking at Wu Zhaoyi's staring bull's eyes, he was so frightened that he couldn't stop coughing.
Li Xuan'er knew that there was no evidence, and relying on Li Mi's words alone, Wu Zhaoyi and Li Zi could deny it no matter how they were. She glanced at Li Zi coldly, and Li Zi quickly lowered her head and moved her toes uneasily.
"Fu'an, let's send Erlang back first, today's flower banquet, you two shouldn't have come over, something happened, in front of the Queen Mother, none of them could run away."
Li Xuan'er took the cloak from the waiter's hand and went over to tie it for Li Miao.
Fu'an walked in front, Li Mi followed behind, and two more attendants followed him, and walked out of the Ziyu Pavilion before and after.
"Be careful!"
Zheng Hao, who was standing beside Li Wen, suddenly shouted and flew forward.
