Chapter 19: The Queen's Birthday (3)

Because Lin Qingwan was appointed as the county lord by the emperor's decree, the seat was higher than that of the other princes and ministers, and the ladies and dependents of the princes and ministers, separated from Zhao Lingxiao by two tables.

Xiao Muning and the other princes sat on the platform at the bottom left of the emperor, Lin Qingwan was on the same side as him, and opposite him sat the envoy of the Northern Han, and below was the meritorious general who returned from this victory.

Lin Qingwan sat down in his seat, cleaned his hands with the wet handkerchief sent by the palace maid, and quietly checked the food on the table with a silver needle before he dared to eat with confidence.

The low table was full of delicate and tempting pastries, although what had just happened made her feel very unhappy, but in front of the food, she comforted herself not to get along with that fool!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the stage looked at Lin Qingwan sideways, thinking that she looked cute, and couldn't help but look a little crazy, and also tugged at the heartstrings with Lin Qingwan's smile!

The fourth prince followed the crown prince's gaze, "The third emperor brother is so blessed!" I, the future sister-in-law of the Third Emperor, have a charming appearance, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that I am a fairy in the sky! ”

The prince knew that he was rude, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, just bowed his head and drank, and did not speak.

Xiao Muning picked up the wine glass, shook his head with a smile and said, "The fourth brother doesn't know, there are many people who covet the future princess of this king, and they don't dare to slack off at all since I returned to Beijing!" ”

The crown prince listened to their voiceovers and interjected, "Grandpa Huang gave you such a marriage for nothing, you have to pay something!" ”

Xiao Muning raised his glass to the prince, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, the younger brother has been taught!" ”

The fourth prince didn't speak again, just drank alone.

"The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived." With the spread of the eunuchs outside, everyone stood up and bowed.

The emperor and queen walked up the steps hand in hand, turned around and looked at everyone, raised their hands and said, "Everyone, get flat!" ”

"Thank you, the queen!"

Lin Qingwan got up with everyone and sat back in his seat. The maidens who served the dishes rushed in and placed the delicate dishes one by one on the low table in front of everyone.

This ancient banquet is no different from the modern one, the host made a statement, and then basically started eating, what music and dance, this era is just like that!

Lin Qingwan was eating below, it turned out that the things made in the ancient imperial dining room were really worthy of their reputation, and the wine was sweet and delicious, she thought that when she returned home, she must ask Xiao Muning what kind of wine this is!

Xiao Muning looked at Lin Qingwan, who was tasting food unscrupulously, but he didn't expect this small detail to be captured by the queen.

She laughed lightly, "It is said that the love between men and women is the most beautiful when there is no guess in the two children, and this palace saw King Ning and the county lord of Qingwan today, so I had this profound experience." ”

As soon as the queen mother said this, the eyes of everyone in the palace focused on the two of them.

Lin Qingwan didn't know what was going on, why did the queen mother suddenly mention her, she raised her head and exchanged glances with Xiao Muning, and then quickly lowered her head.

The queen mother hurriedly said again, "It's all because the palace didn't hold back for a while, and said in front of everyone, you are still young and thin-skinned, which makes you so shy." It's the main palace, isn't it! ”

Xiao Muning picked up the wine glass and said with a little embarrassment, "The queen mother should stop making fun of her son, these days, the son has finally won a little favor from Sister Qingwan, and the queen mother can't let her son fall short!" ”

Lin Qingwan stuck a mouthful of old blood in his chest, this benevolent brother lied and didn't make a draft, it was just easy.

The emperor was amused, "You are embarrassed to say that in the past two days, in addition to doing the errands assigned to you, I have collected Qingwan's preferences everywhere, just for the sake of the Pomeranians." You! I don't even know what to say about you! ”

Lin Qingwan sneered in his heart, no wonder he wanted to build a pavilion for her and plant flowers, it turned out to be for the emperor!

Everyone bowed their heads and snickered when they heard this, but then again, anyone who saw Lin Xiang's daughter had to be like this!

On the stage, the red-sleeved princess held the hand of the wine glass tightly, and her knuckles were white.

"Lord Qingwan!" The queen called her name on stage.

Lin Qingwan stood up and walked to the center of the main hall, "Qingwan greets the emperor and the queen." ”

"This palace has always heard that the lord of Qingwan is the first talented woman in our Dayu country, can you let this palace see your talent today."

Talented? How is this going to be presented? Lin Qingwan was a little dazed by this sudden request.

Xiao Muning saw her stunned in place, and relieved her of the siege and said, "Qingwan's poems are very good, last time she helped Erchen inscribe a fan, which is very meaningful." ”

It turned out that it was okay to compose poems, Lin Qingwan followed Xiao Muning's words and said, "Today is the birthday of the queen's mother, and it is also the first time I have seen the queen's mother after the courtier's amnesia." Then how about letting the courtiers send the queen's first poem? ”

"Send a poem to this palace? This is the most special gift Hongu has received over the years. The queen looked at her with anticipation.

Lin Qingwan memorized so many poems when he was in school, it was not easy, and it was not easy to find a song that was beautiful and beautiful.

Lin Qingwan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, I'm sorry Brother Bai, I can only borrow your masterpiece at a critical moment, she cleared her throat and recited loudly, "The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon." If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon. ”

Everyone present tasted the poems, some even forgot to put down the wine glasses, and some directly took the case, and the hall was full of admiration, "Good poetry!" What a poem! ”

Xiao Muning didn't expect that she would be able to make such a masterpiece as soon as she said it casually.

He watched Lin Qingwan standing in the center of the golden hall from a distance, under the candlelight, her otherworldly temperament. This poem and this person should only be in heaven!

Duan Jin put down his wine glass and shook his head, such a fairy-like character should not be entangled in this mortal world, it is a pity to think about it.

Lin Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he listened carefully when he went to school, so he was fooled.

The queen was very happy to get this masterpiece, and said to Lin Xiang, "Xiangye has a daughter like this, it is really a blessing from several lifetimes!" ”

Lin Xiang got up and replied, "It is also her blessing that the little girl can be so loved by the queen's mother!" ”

The more the queen looked at Lin Qingwan, the more she liked it, "Among the many congratulatory gifts, this palace also likes the one given by Qingwan the most." It's very novel, I don't know if it can have the same effect as you say. ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at Xiao Muning proudly, "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers specially asked Imperial Doctor Liu to help see it, as long as you follow the instructions written by the courtiers, you can use it, and you will see results for a long time!" ”

"Okay, then Bengong will wait and see, don't stand, let's take a seat!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

When Lin Qingwan returned to his seat, he heard the emperor ask curiously, "What did Qingwan give you?" ”

The queen mother smiled and shook her head, "This is the secret between the concubine and Qingwan, the emperor doesn't want to snoop on it!" ”

At this time, the dancers came in from outside the hall and danced to the sound of jingling bells and orchestral bamboo music on both sides of the main hall.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, in this staggered situation, it was extremely lively, but in Lin Qingwan's opinion, she felt lonely and boring, she got up and walked out of the hall to breathe.

Across the door, but it was quiet and comfortable outside, Lin Qingwan leaned on the railing and looked up at the moon, counting the days, she has been here for more than half a month, and until now there is no clue to go back, and I don't know if anyone in that world has found that she is missing.

Lin Qingwan sighed and whispered, "I really want to go back!" ”

Xiao Muning walked out of the hall, he had just looked for her in the hall, and when he saw that Zhao Lingxiao was still in his position, he was a little anxious, and he wanted to scold her and run around, but he overheard her words, and looked up at the moon with her gaze, "You can't really come down from the sky, right?" ”

Lin Qingwan was shocked, and said angrily, "Lord Wang, you scared me to death!" Can you come here and make a move! ”

Xiao Muning stood side by side with her, looking up at the moon, "They all say that there is a fairy on the moon, everyone calls her the moon god, could it be you?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled secretly, and suddenly wanted to give him some mythological knowledge, "There is a palace on the moon called Guanghan Palace, that fairy is called Chang'e, and she also raises a rabbit called Jade Rabbit." ”

Xiao Muning had never heard of it, looked at her in surprise, pointed to the moon and asked, "Where are you really from?" ”

Lin Qingwan looked at his surprised appearance and smiled very happily, "No, but the place I came from is farther than that!" ”

"You want to lie to me again, so I won't be fooled!" Xiao Muning said stubbornly.

"Lord Wang, do you know why the moon only appears at night?"

Xiao Muning shook his head, "I don't know." "He has always felt that it is normal to have the sun during the day and the moon at night.

"The moon does not shine on its own, and the bright light we see now is in fact a reflection of the sun's light. In fact, sometimes the moon is there during the day, but the sunlight is too strong during the day, so you can't see it. ”

Xiao Muning thought about it carefully, as if this truth really made sense, so he explained why he could sometimes see the moon and the sun at the same time, "How do you know?" ”

"I've told the prince, it's you who don't believe it!" Lin Qingwan looked at Xiao Muning incomprehensibly.

"By the way, I won the last bet! The prince has a promise, don't forget! ”

"What the hell did you send the queen mother?"

"When I return home, the prince will know!"
