Chapter 396: Hongmen Banquet

Xie Xinru is the queen's niece, the queen wants to give Xie Xinru to Zhao Xuanling, Xiao Jia said that she entered the palace the day after Xie Xinru was poisoned, if she hadn't told the queen that she had poisoned her, the queen would not let her attend her birthday banquet at this time.

In other words, today is a Hongmen feast.

Zhao Xuanling is the person she wants to find with a dragon head on his chest, and on the day of the wedding, she thought that she could finally get rid of the fate of being scattered, but she didn't want God to play a big joke on her.

Since she will die sooner or later, it is enough for her to do some things alone.

"Miss, let's let my subordinates go in with Miss after we get to Belu Villa in a while." Ning Yuan was not worried that Lin Mumu would enter the villa alone.

Lin Mumu looked at him and smiled. "How can you, a man, follow me to the banquet where the ladies are?"

Ning Yuan was silent, the female attendants could bring maids at most, and the male attendants could not enter.

"Miss, let's take Diedie."

Lin Mumu shook his head and stepped on a small stool to get out of the carriage.

"Let's go, don't delay the hour."

Ning Yuan couldn't, so he could only drive the carriage out of the city.

Belu Villa is on the Taiyin Mountain on the outskirts of the city, just behind the Dajue Temple, the whole mountain except for the Dajue Temple, only the Belu Villa is out of the building, and you can see it at the foot of the mountain.

The queen's birthday is not half of it, and today she only invited the famous family of Xijing Pai to come to the banquet, but even so, there are many people who come to the banquet today.

When Lin Mumu arrived, the carriage had already lined up from outside the gate of the villa to the foot of the mountain.

When it was approaching, Lin Mumu entered the villa.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, many people looked at her.

"Isn't this Lin Mumu? How can you have her everywhere? ”

"That's it, how can she still have the face to come out to meet people, if I were her, I would hate to cover the quilt every day, and I wouldn't dare to see it!"

"You guys are rare and weird, right, can you expect her to be ashamed of a shameless person like this?"

Those spitting voices were not small, at least Lin Mumu could hear them clearly.

Lin Mumu lowered her eyes and straightened the slightly wrinkled skirt on her body, and slowly raised her head to look at them.

The few young ladies who talked about others with a contemptuous face couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they looked at Lin Mumu's amber eyes.

They knew that their voices were not small, or that they were going to deliberately say it to Lin Mumu, originally they thought that Lin Mumu would look at them angrily, but who knows, her eyes were surprisingly calm, and her amber pupils were like uncarved jade, clear but not low.

Lin Mumu looked at them quietly for a moment, then looked away, handed over the post and entered the villa.

There may be a big drama waiting for her today, and she doesn't want to waste her energy on people who don't matter.

Those who were waiting to see Lin Mumu's jokes closed their mouths when they saw the post in Lin Mumu's hand, everyone knew the post of the queen's birthday banquet, and if it wasn't for the queen's consent, they would never have gotten it.

Lin Mumu has a post in her hand, indicating that the queen wants her to come, and they can't figure out the queen's attitude towards Lin Mumu, and they don't dare to do too much, so as not to get into trouble.

Belu Villa is named after deer, also because there are many deer in the villa, but the deer are all kept in captivity on a meadow behind the villa, and the front yard is invisible.

Today's birthday banquet is mainly based on deer, and the imperial chef in the palace went to Zhuangzi early to kill deer and bleed on his back.

Today, the sun is just right, and the banquet is held in the bamboo forest in the mountain villa.

The palace maid took Lin Mumu to the outside of the bamboo forest and retreated.

When Lin Mumu arrived in the bamboo forest, there were already many people in the forest, and her position was at the end, and it was also the least noticeable place.

She walked over to her seat, and was about to sit down when she heard a call behind her. "Mu Mu, are you here too?"

Lin Mumu turned around when she heard the sound, and saw Lan Qinzhu walking towards her.

Lan Qinzhu is from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and it is not surprising that she received the post.

"Well, the palace sent me a post."

Lan Qinzhu looked surprised when she heard this. "The queen was kicked in the head by a donkey?"

When Tracey heard this, she hurriedly pulled Lan Qinzhu's sleeve. "Madame, be careful with your words!"

Lan Qinzhu pouted, it was really troublesome.

It's no wonder that Lan Qinzhu thinks so, after all, at the previous concubine selection banquet, it can be seen that the queen wants to match her niece with the king, everyone knows Lin Mumu's involvement with the king before, and the queen should look at Lin Mumu unpleasantly now, how can she take the initiative to let her come to her birthday banquet.

"Got it, it's not like we don't have anyone else around us."

Lin Mumu was noncommittal to Lan Qinzhu's words, she went to the chair and sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.

"How are you doing these days?"

Lan Qinzhu sat down beside her. "It's good, what's wrong, I should ask you about this, I see that you have lost weight."

Lin Mumu saw that Lan Qinzhu's eyebrows and eyes were so clear that she didn't look like she was lying, but she looked thinner and darker.

Lin Mumu poured some melon seeds from his cloth pocket and came out. "Would you like some?"

Lan Qinzhu pushed away with some disgust. "No, this thing can't fill your stomach with trouble."

Lin Mumu withdrew her hand and knocked on the melon seeds by herself.

"Mrs. Fang."

While the two were chatting, a palace maid came over. 77 eBooks

Lan Qinzhu raised her eyes. "Something?"

"Mrs. Fang, the former Fang Gongzi was accidentally hit by a deer......"

"What?!" Lan Qinzhu stood up from her chair suddenly. "How do you look at the deer in the lodge, and how do you let them run out and hit people!?"

"Mrs. Fang is angry, Niangniang has already ordered someone to invite a female medical officer."

"Where is the person, take me quickly!"

"Yes, Mrs. Fang, please come with the slave maid."

When Lan Qinzhu left, he didn't forget to say to Lin Mumu: "I'll go and have a look first." ”

Lin Mumu knew that Lan Qinzhu was nervous about Fang Zhenxuan, so he only nodded and said, "Go ahead, if you need to, let someone come to me." ”

Lan Qinzhu nodded and followed the palace maid to leave quickly.

Who knows, just when Lan Qinzhu was in a hurry to move forward, the palace maid who came to give her a message suddenly turned around and glanced at Lin Mumu.

Lin Mumu happened to meet her eyes, and the corners of the palace maid's mouth suddenly raised a strange arc.

Lin Mumu's eyebrows sank, and she always felt that something was wrong, and when she stood up and was about to chase after her, Lan Qinzhu and their figures had disappeared into the long corridor.

The staple food of today's banquet is venison, and the nobles of Xijing have always eaten roast deer, and in the process of waiting, the servants set up a big fire in the bamboo forest, and the venison that has been marinated has also been carried up.

One after another, more and more guests came, and the bamboo forest became more and more lively.

Lin Mumu only sat quietly in a corner, as if she had never belonged to such a lively scene.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

The singing sounded, and everyone stepped forward to salute.

"See the Queen."

The queen, dressed in costume, walked all the way to the main seat and sat down.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Queen."

They got up and sat down in their places.

Today is the Queen's birthday, and after the Queen's official opening remarks, everyone offered their gifts.

There are so many people who come to the banquet, and it is impossible for everyone to show their faces in front of the queen to give gifts, and only some people with relatively high status stand up as representatives.

"Thank you for coming to the banquet today, in previous years, we just ate roast deer in Beiluzhuang, these years the palace has felt a little tired, today, the palace let the imperial kitchen prepare venison buns The palace feels good, everyone will taste it for a while."

"The queen thinks it's good, the taste of the bun will definitely not be bad, and the courtiers feel a little hungry when they hear it."

"No, I can't wait to taste the venison buns."

There will naturally be no shortage of people sought after by high-ranking people like the queen, and as soon as the words come out, there are constantly people who answer the phone and don't let them be cold.

Lin Mumu sat in the corner and looked coldly at everything in front of her.

After a while, eight eunuchs walked in carrying a steamer with a diameter of at least two meters.

The steamer has three layers, and it looks heavy.

After the steamer was carried up, it was set up on a stone platform that had been prepared long ago, and the bottom of the stone platform was hollowed out, and the bottom was filled with firewood.

"Venison buns are best when they are freshly baked, and now the buns are wrapped and placed in this steamer, and they can be baked after steaming for two quarters of an hour." Queen's Road.

Originally, everyone only said flattering words to the queen, but after the steamer was carried up, they were all a little looking forward to it, and this way of eating was indeed relatively new to them.

The people present were all nobles from Xijing on the top of the pyramid, and there were really few who had entered the stove room, let alone watched the steamed buns on the spot.

Lin Mumu sat in his position seemingly bored, but he was really vigilant about the situation around him.

Although the queen did not show the mountain dew, she still clearly felt that the queen had inadvertently looked in her direction three times.

At this time, a palace maid with a drink came towards her, apparently to help her pour wine.

Lin Mumu sat quietly, looking at the direction of the steamer.

At this moment, the palace maid's feet seemed to be tripped by something, and the wine bottle fell towards Lin Mumu.

Lin Mumu's eyes narrowed slightly, even if she was already prepared, but the dodge was still not fast enough, and the wine still wet her skirt.

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die!" Seeing this, the palace maid was so frightened that her face turned white, and she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Mumu to confess her guilt.

Lin Mumu lowered her eyes and patted the wine on her dress.

"Get up."

The palace maid slowly raised her head and looked at Lin Mumu cautiously and said, "Miss Lin, your dress is wet, the slave maid will take you to the guest house to change into a clean one, right?" ”

Lin Mumu raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of her lips. "Okay."

The palace maid exhaled secretly when she lowered her head, and she stood up. "Miss Lin, please come with the slave."

Lin Mumu nodded and left behind the palace maid.

As soon as Lin Mumu stood up, the queen at the top looked at her back as she left.

She picked up the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her lips to hide the coldness that appeared on her lips.
