Chapter Seventy-Six: Drunkenness

The strings started, and the singers started singing again, like big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate, light and jumping.

The queen personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to the emperor, who stretched out his hand to take it, and the emperor and queen have always been very harmonious in front of people.

"The queen has a heart," the emperor didn't drink, Queen Shan Chong nodded, "I have always been busy with court affairs, and this harem is all thanks to the queen's care, this glass of wine, to the queen." ”

The emperor said to toast, and everyone raised their glasses in unison to toast the queen.

At the end of the round, the emperor turned his head to stare at Pu Yangxu who was sitting still, and before he could speak, Pu Yangxu suddenly spoke, "Father, the imperial dining room has specially made a batch of new dew wine, and the sons and daughters are in charge and let them present it to everyone for enjoyment." ”

Everyone listened with their ears pricked up, and Shen Tingnian was no exception, Pu Yangxu was so dignified and serious, how could there be a trace of the touch of holding her to turn green, obviously I hadn't seen her for a long time, and I felt more pleasing to the eye after a closer look.

Immediately, two powerful eunuchs came in with a wine vat, and when they presented it to them, they lifted the lid at the behest of the prince, and in an instant a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

Dew wine is not unusual, what kind of wine-making recipes are among the people, and there will naturally be them in the palace, and there are not only many patterns, but also a hundred times more exquisite.

Shen Tingnian stared at it with interest, the jade cups distributed by the palace maids were colorful wine, the reason why it was colorful was that the color of the wine was not pure, and it looked very strange.

"This wine is made from dozens of fruits." Pu Yangxu raised his glass, and everyone followed, he toasted to the emperor, "New products, new wine, new atmosphere, I wish the emperor a thousand years of success, long live my emperor!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Congratulations from all the people.

"Hahaha...... Drink this cup together. The emperor laughed heartily and drank all the wine in his cup.

Shen Tingnian covered her face with wide sleeves, licked it first, and changed color slightly, this taste - spicy, bitter and astringent, she clenched her pink fists, closed her eyes and was bored, after putting down her hand, she tried to maintain calm, and casually threw another date into the import, trying to press it, who knew that after a glass of wine, her teeth were about to fall, and the dates couldn't be bitten, and her cheeks were bulging.

Pu Yangxu is not an idler, and it is only symbolic for a while, and after saying a few words to the queen, he got up to say goodbye, and the emperor was already indulging in the music of singers and dancers, and waved his hand to agree.

The eyes of the crowd moved with Pu Yangxu's figure.

"Mother, this pastry looks different from the usual." Seeing that Shen Tingnian was sour, Min Yun handed her a plate of wrapped small pastries, and knelt down to peel them off for her, the pastries were fragrant.

"This is made with Tegun pearl glutinous rice, and the taste is extremely authentic. Stuffing is also a variety of options. Pu Yangxu stopped, just in time to see Shen Tingnian frowning and puffing out his cheeks, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm not afraid of choking, so I removed the winter dates." ”

Everyone looked at Shen Tingnian blankly with his gaze, his white face was as white as jade, his eyes were as clear as water, Shen Tingnian was busy covering his face with his sleeves, and spit out the dates with a grunt, and Min Yun also tacitly took the small plate and took it.

At Pu Yangxu's suggestion, someone immediately came over and took away her winter date plate, Shen Tingnian glanced at Pu Yangxu dissatisfied, with anger and joy, very seductive, Pu Yangxu smiled, his eyes were a little hot, "The wine is also withdrawn, and the laba porridge is sent to Shen Jieyu." ”

Chen Luo, who was with him, immediately bowed and retreated, and the laba porridge that should have been left for the end appeared in advance.

Shen Tingnian pretended to bow his head shyly, slightly looking like a little daughter, and couldn't help but be overjoyed by Pu Yangxu's care, but he noticed that the gaze that fell on him was more and more stinging.

Pu Yangxu looked away after realizing it, and simply ordered each of the concubines in the East Palace to distribute a bowl of Laba porridge, and even Hu Yuchun, who was sitting next to Shen Tingnian, got a share, but the Yao family behind Shen Tingnian didn't seem to see it, he walked with his hands behind his back and walked briskly, not when he came.

Zhao Jingyi sat back calmly from getting up, the focus of her eyes was on the wine on the table, this batch of new wine should have been used for Chinese New Year's Eve, why did Pu Yangxu use it in advance?

Is it the queen's sentence that is not called Shen Tingnian to drink the pine mash spring at the banquet?

Ye Shi, who was sitting close to her, was also playfully turning the wine glass, and even Ye Xinyi, who had never been good at thinking too much, couldn't drink this new wine, which showed how obvious Pu Yangxu's intentions were.

How the queen fell Shen Tingnian's face, how Pu Yangxu held her face.

Another group of servants came on the stage, the banquet in Qinyuan lasted for a long time, and in the afternoon it was to watch the play, and the stage was set up in the atrium of Qinyuan.

As far as Shen Tingnian is concerned, she is not watching a play but being watched, as soon as Pu Yangxu leaves, a group of imperial concubines began to take turns to come to the East Palace to sit and toast, even if she has a strong ability to shirk, she has to be poured a few cups, the women in the palace, there are not a few shallow minds, squeezing and pushing between words, and those who can stab people without seeing blood in a few words, Shen Tingnian and Concubine Jing are birds that come out of the forest, they dare not take the concubine Jing who has been favored for many years to pour wine, no matter how unhappy they are, they have to endure it, but Shen Tingnian is different, she is a junior after all, No matter how favored she is, she is just a little Jieyu in the East Palace, she has shallow qualifications in the palace, and her position is not as valued by the queen as Zhao Jingyi, and her family background is only a scholarly family at the end of the second rate.

Maybe it's because of this reason, or maybe it's a year-long confinement, everyone has let go and consumed, the play is played one after another, and it should have been dispersed as usual, but today it was tossed until the evening.

Although Shen Tingnian has an excellent amount of alcohol, his patience is not very good, and he will drink the toast of others, but this He Concubine in front of her, if she is not mistaken, she has made things difficult for herself, right?

What a beautiful scenery the original crown princess and concubine He was, she was arrogant and majestic in front of Shen Tingnian, who was still the grandson Jieyu, and punished her for standing all morning, and now the feng shui is turning, and the newcomer is on the throne, He broke off his grace, and raised his neck and stood on tiptoe in front of Shen Tingnian.

Shen Tingnian held the cup as if he wanted to drink it, and with a twist of his wrist, he threw the cup with the wine on He Concubine's chest, and the colored fruit wine was suddenly printed and dyed on the new clothes, which was completely ruined.

"You-" Concubine He was about to open her mouth to scold her, Shen Tingnian had already fallen backwards with a sigh, and Min Yun, who had already known what kind of character his master had, naturally caught the person, and shouted in his mouth: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it drunk......"

"I'm so dizzy."

The master and servant acted skillfully, naturally and fluently, and the onlookers didn't react, so they quit.

Sitting on the swaying steps, Shen Tingnian supported her chin with one hand, dizzy, her stomach was overturned, she tried to open her eyes wide, and she still felt that the sky was covered with a layer of gray curtain, and she couldn't see it really.

It's not the first time she's drunk, she's sober, but her body doesn't listen to her calls, and her movements are out of balance.

When the step stopped, she thought it was to Changxinyuan, so she took a crooked step, and didn't see the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling for a while, she shook her waist, wanting to fall down, drunk and hazy saw a person standing in front of her, she stared at the other party's boots to look at the concentration, and then moved up inch by inch, into the eye-catching face...... The string in my brain immediately snapped, and I was dazzled.

"The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Shen Tingnian smiled drunkenly, her movements were a little clumsy, she almost stumbled and fell when she bent over, and was dragged into her arms by the other party...... The man who dropped the sentence 'I left you a lot of children' every year'...... which made her helpless and hated for a long time.

"Concubine, it's out of order."

"It's okay, you're drunk." Pu Yangxu hugged her shoulders and pushed away a little distance so that he could see her drunken face clearly, although Shen Tingnian was bold on weekdays, he also had some scruples, and he had never lost his temper in front of everyone. At this moment, as if she had received a pardon, she smirked, and dared to pinch him with her hand, "Your Highness, why did you become two?" ”

"Why are your eyes so good?"

After saying that, he giggled and spread in the quiet night, a little abrupt and a little moving. She thought she was happy, so she smiled without scruples, and a group of palace attendants kneeling secretly wiped their sweat, Shen Jieyu was really drunk.

"Swing the Heart."

Picking up the drunken Shen Tingnian, Pu Yangxu couldn't take care of the petrified palace maid and eunuch.

Kunning Palace, when the queen heard that Pu Yangxu had gone to Changxin Garden, she sighed, but Mama Qi, who was combing her hair for her loose hair, said, "Niangniang, after so many years, the prince seems to have finally let go." ”

If you let go of the old man, you will accept the new one.

"It's spring next year, and it's good to recruit another batch of new people." Mama Qi added.

The queen smiled helplessly.

Compared to Shen Tingnian who became Pu Yangxu's favorite, the queen sighed that it was actually Zhao Jingyi, who had the name of the crown princess but did not have the heart of the prince, whether it was from the help of family background or personality, she thought that Shen Tingnian was far behind, first of all, the surname Shen hindered her eyes, and tonight she poured He Concubine wine in public, obviously still remembering the grudge, and even more about pregnancy and miscarriage, she found that Shen Tingnian's cat-like well-behaved appearance also has a tiger's heart, which is quite similar to the concubine Jing who she really hates and fears.

Xinhe Palace is uneasy, who in the palace doesn't know that Concubine Jing is drunk and needs someone to coax her to be able to live in peace, this coaxing master has been fascinated by her since Qinyuan, so many years, she Jing Concubine is a beautiful and favored champion of the six palaces, the days of the queen are tired, however, the appearance of the glamour is not the end after all, she can afford to wait.

Today's Laba banquet, Shen Ting Nianyan pressed the ladies of the East Palace, how many people are waiting to see, who can have the last laugh, the harem is no different from the battlefield, the real balance is not who stands alone, but thousands of flowers, a hundred flowers bloom.

At first, a few people understood this truth.

The prince's guard of honor has not yet arrived at Changxinyuan, and the people of Changxinyuan Palace, who have already received the news, are busy. When they packed up and rushed to the door to greet them, they were all startled by what they saw.

Shen Tingnian restlessly arched in Pu Yangxu's arms, muttering a sentence or two from time to time, and waving his hands to beat people.

Pu Yangxu was also confused by her, he is not Liu Xia Hui, such a beauty is in his arms, can he still sit still? He has no one else except for grace now, and he is full of anger, and this person has not stopped, moving back and forth......

Mama Liu and the others prepared hot water, because Shen Tingnian confessed when he went out and wanted to take a bath when he came back. Pu Yangxu personally carried the person into the inner room, and saw that the prepared bath bucket was steaming, and his footsteps passed with a limp.

The few people who followed up immediately understood and quickly withdrew.
