Volume 1 Chapter 27 The Queen's Birthday Leads the Real Culprit (Part II)
Feng Yun pretended to clear his throat mysteriously, and said slowly: "Yin Yin, do you know who saved you that day?" ”
"How do I know this, he didn't even tell me his real name. ”
Yin Huayue spread her hands helplessly, saying that she didn't know either.
"He is the great prince of the Southern Barbarians, the son of the Southern Barbarians, Abe Tsuyo."
Raccoon Chong? Abe Tanaka?! Yin Huayue's beautiful eyes were as big as copper bells, but she didn't expect that person to be the son of the Southern Barbarians.
"As far as I know, this Abe is acting in a fair and upright manner. But today, Yin Huajun's people went to look for him, so we still have to guard against him. ”
After Feng Yun finished speaking, he glanced at the people who didn't react. "Understood?"
"Nonsense." Yin Huayue glanced at him.
Yin Huayu: "We don't know what Yin Huajun wants, so we must be careful today." Those who enter the palace should also be strictly investigated. ”
Several people got together, discussed for a while, then dispersed, and went back to their respective homes.
That night—
The blazing sun was finally crawling slowly below the horizon. The lights are gradually lit in Beijing, the queen's birthday, there is no curfew in the capital tonight, and you can play all night.
With the increase in the number of travelers, the lights became brighter and brighter. There are many voices, juggling, hawking, and all kinds of voices. It was as lively as a festival, and there were no guards on the road who usually looked like shadows, and the people were open to play.
In front of the palace gate, the carriages of dignitaries and dignitaries have stopped in two long rows. The ladies and ladies greeted each other, and the ministers and officials saluted each other.
There are also some who come from distant cities.
"Oh, Mrs. Li, are you here?" A lady dressed in green dress stepped out of the carriage, and another lady in a golden dress greeted her.
"Mrs. Tang, why don't you see your family Ying'er?"
This noble lady in a golden dress is Tang Ying's mother, the wife of Tang Cheng's mansion, whose real name is Chen Mingluo. And this green-clothed one is the wife of the city lord of Rongcheng, surnamed Liu Mingyu. These two have been sisters since childhood, and they have a deep relationship.
"Yo! This kid has accompanied Her Royal Highness the princess to prepare for the dinner early. ”
"Hey, Ah Luo, I see that your family Ying'er has such a good relationship with His Royal Highness Qi this day, it will definitely be extraordinary in the future."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't that son of yours also close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
"Giggle." The two ladies entered the palace gate with a smile and a smile.
"Lu Shangshu."
"Jiang Shangshu."
The two of them exchanged their leaves, and then their wives and children also got out of the carriage.
"Brother Lu, who is this? I've never seen you bring it out before! ”
Jiang Shangshu pointed to the woman behind Lu Shangshu and asked. The woman was dressed in blue clothes and had exquisite makeup. It looks beautiful and moving, extremely weak and lovable.
"Ah, this is my second daughter, Qingxue." Lu Shangshu replied with a smile, and then motioned for Lu Qingxue to come forward and salute.
"Qingxue has seen Master Jiang."
"Hahaha, good! Brother Lu, I didn't expect your second daughter to be so moving. ”
Because Lu Qingqing had such a thing last time, he didn't have the face to take her to any more banquets. Although the second daughter is a concubine, she is also a little beautiful, so she brought her here.
On the one hand, gatherings like this in the palace are for celebration. On the other hand, it is also to let these sons and nobles move around more. Especially the daughters of these ministers' families, if they are taken by any prince, they will become phoenixes!
This banquet hall is not indoors, but an open-air platform. Sitting in the direction of north and south is the small table of Emperor Yin and Queen Yin, and then the queen corresponds to the table of the mothers, and the emperor is the table of the prince and princess.
The table is an ordinary Eight Immortals table, but in the center of the table are strange pots of different sizes. Like the emperor and queen, the pot of the two people is a little smaller, after all, there are only two people, and the others are a little bigger.
The tables are circled in semi-circles, and the soup in the pot boils. There are many plates on the wooden table, all of which are prepared raw food in advance.
And there is a place for food, pastries and fruits next to each aisle next to the table, just like a modern self-service hot pot.
About ten meters from these tables is a large circular platform, slightly higher than where people are sitting, so that everyone can see it.
Thousands of glass lamps were placed in the venue, and the stars were as bright as day.
"Awesome, Xiao Yue'er. However, there are no gas canisters here, so how do you keep the water boiling in these pots? ”
Su Jian looked at this pomp and circumstance, clapping his hands and slapping his ass.
"yes, yes, I'm curious, too." Tang Ying simply felt amazing, she had never seen such a thing, and it was boiling all the time.
Yin Huayue smiled and said, "This is simple, you see, there is a place to burn a fire under the table, right?" In order not to let the fire burn, smoke to those dignitaries.
I asked them to set the table in advance, first set it up with pine wood, then bury the coal on it, and then pour pine oil on it. The top is covered with a layer of pine firewood and pine oil, so that when the people are almost ready, the top pine wood will be burned out.
There was only coal and pine wood at the bottom, and the coal didn't get up, but just hot coals. In this way, there will be no smoke coming out, and there will be no excessive firepower.
It also keeps the water in the pot boiling, and finally, by the time everyone is almost full, the fire has long been extinguished. ”
"Wow, Xiao Yinyin, you are so smart! Why didn't I find out before?! ”
Tang Ying's expression of discovering the treasure was followed by a bear hug.
"Ahem, little Jane...... Help me! ”
"Hahaha."
"Yin'er."
"Brother Prince, Ling Yun."
Several people sat in the corner of the highest position, looking at the people who were gradually growing below, and smiled at each other.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"yes, that's on the table...... I've never heard of this way before! ”
"Ah Luo, Ying'er, ...... they?" Mrs. Li also pointed to the table with a puzzled expression.
"Oh, that's weird."
Yin Huayue listened to the doubtful voice below and smiled. "Lamp."
"Yes."
Lantern smiled at her princess, then walked up to the high platform and clapped her hands.
Sure enough, everyone was attracted by the action of the lantern.
"It's the Lady of the Lamp."
"Miss Deng, what's going on?"
"Yes, what is Your Highness doing?"
Deng Jing cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry. This is the way my princess learned to eat from the Papal States, everyone can put raw meat and lettuce in the pot.
Considering that not everyone likes spicy food, all, my Royal Highness divided the country into two halves. There are eight people at a table, and you can choose who is at the same table. ”
After smiling, he returned to Yin Huayue's side. At this time, everyone suddenly realized.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is really smart!"
"yes, that's for our sake."
"That's it, I've never seen this way of eating in most of my life!"
"Hahahaha, I really want to try."
"Everyone, please be seated." Yin Huayue and the others slowly walked towards everyone.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess!"
Watching them salute, Yin Huayue smiled faintly, made a gesture of please, and said, "You don't have to be polite, just sit down." ”
Yin Huayue, Tang Ying, Su Jian, Deng Jing, Feng Yun, Yin Huayu, Feng Wuluo, and Shui Wuluo gathered around a wooden table at the bottom of the emperor's seat.
The ladies of the family below all cast envious eyes, if they also won the favor of the princess, they entered the princess group...... How nice that would be.
Yin Huayue and the young lady of the family closest to her are known as the princess Tiantuan, to put it bluntly, Yin Huayue's small gang including Su Jian and Tang Ying.
Many young ladies of the family have wanted to have a good relationship with Yin Huayue since they were children, but Princess Qi had a strange temper and was rude and willful when she was young.
No one is close, and they often bully them. At that time, only Tang Ying, a tomboy, entered the eyes of Princess Tianqi.
Later, there was an inexplicable more Leyang county lord, look at it, everyone can share the table with the prince and princess. It can be seen that once this princess group can be joined, it will be infinite possibilities in the future!
"Your Majesty has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! ”
Xiao Yinzi's high-pitched voice sounded from a long distance, and the prince and princess, all the ministers and family members got up from their seats and walked to both sides of the passage.
"Ministers/courtiers/courtiers/concubines/sons greet Your Majesty's holy drive. Long live the emperor, long live, mother, mother, thousand years, thousands of years. ”
"Okay, good, okay, everyone Aiqing is flat!" Emperor Yin seemed to be extremely happy, and cordially led the queen's slender jade fingers to sit on a high seat.
This is really envious of others, and everyone praises the emperor and queen's love. But there are always people who can't get used to it, only to see that Concubine Yun secretly holding a handkerchief. Zhou Zhengtong, slut!
She stared at the queen like a snake and scorpion, Zhou Xiaotong seemed to be aware, and when she looked at her, she had quickly collected that vicious gaze. The rest is only meek and modest.
"Yin'er, be careful. I have a lot of rewards. ”
Emperor Yin looked at his baby princess appreciatively and blinked.
"The son has thanked his father, the reward, keep it for now, I think of it and tell you what I want."
"Okay, well, I'll listen to you!" Emperor Yin looked at her with a doting face, and he didn't know how many people he was envious.
The music begins, and the banquet begins. The chimes ring softly and the sound is crisp. The flute is flying, touching the soul. The sound of the piano is melodious and eye-catching.
On the big round stage, there is a group of dancing girls in pink skirts. They dance like light butterflies, moving in the wind. It's beautiful.
Then, there was the birthday dance sent by other countries. Exotic, dominant.
The audience was in full swing, and everyone was eating, drinking and composing poems. The singing never stopped.
After that, it was the talent show of the daughters of each family. Everyone wants to take this opportunity to make a splash or find a good man.
This person is naturally the same, I saw that Lu Qingxue from Shangshu Mansion was about to move, and was preempted.
"Tang Ying of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I wish the queen all the grace and the same appearance." Tang Ying saluted the two people on the high position with a fist, and then flew towards the round platform.
Mrs. Tang glanced at her daughter in surprise, of course the birthday words were not what she thought of herself, but what Yin Huayue told her. At first, she actually planned to wish a happy birthday.
smiled at Yin Huayue alive, Tang Ying didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she loved to dance with knives and guns. So, she danced a sword dance.
The sword wind is flying, capable and strong, like a warrior who is fighting with a master, which makes people jaw-dropping.
After the dance, she glanced at Yin Huayue proudly, but caught a glimpse of Yin Huayu staring at her. She couldn't help but blush and quickly looked away.
"Okay, Miss Tang's dancing is strange, reward!"
