Chapter 76: Birthday Banquet
May 30.
Because of the weather, the birthday banquet was arranged to be held in the cool hall. The palace people had already arranged everything, and they had installed ice cubes to fan the wind, and there was no trace of heat in the cool hall at all, but there was still a cool breeze.
In fact, Nan Xuanchen's birthday banquet can be regarded as a family banquet, because Feng Tian is about to be the crown princess when she is late, so she and Feng Hou Ye are also invited.
Feng Tianwan and Feng Hou Ye walked into the Liang Hall and found that Lu Taishi's family had arrived.
Originally, the three daughters of the Lu family were dressed up brilliantly, which was already very eye-catching, but they didn't expect Feng Tianwan to only wear a plain cyan Luo skirt today, just embroidering small and delicate patterns on the neckline and sleeves, which looked a little exquisite. She wore a bun, a few strands of hair were scattered on the sideburns, adding a bit of softness, and the bun was only pinned with two small golden hairpins, embellished with thin beads to stay overnight, which not only showed her identity, but also did not exceed the rules.
In this hot weather, her outfit looks refreshing, which makes people can't help but take a few more looks.
On the contrary, the three girls of the Lu family were dressed up in a fancy way, dazzling, and felt tacky at the second glance.
Mrs. Lu exclaimed, "The girl of the Feng family is so smart now, but she has a bit of her mother's demeanor." ”
"Why should my mother be ambitious." Lu Yuyan said sourly.
She knew that she was compared to Feng Tianwan, but she was not reconciled, she just lost one game, she would not lose forever.
Then, the emperor and Nan Xuanmin came together, everyone saluted, Nan Xuanmin's eyes stayed on Feng Tianwan, and he shook his head slightly.
Lu Yuyan noticed it, gritted her teeth hatefully, it seemed that today was imperative, and she had no chance to retreat
The queen smiled and said, "Prince, you and Tianwan are about to get married, and this palace specially arranged for you to sit together, don't let down the hard work of this palace." ”
Feng Tianwan was disgusted in her heart, so she naturally didn't show it.
"Thank you, Queen."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The two thanked her, and Nan Xuanmin sat down beside her.
Lu Yuyan was confused, the wine glass in his hand shook, and the wine spilled his hands, a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Lu Yuqin and Lu Yuhua sneered, "Third sister, the old people laughed at the new in the past, even if you feel uncomfortable, don't make a fool of yourself, it's our Lu family's face that you lose." ”
It just so happened that Nan Xuanchen came in at this time, which relieved Lu Yuyan of his embarrassment.
He wore a robe made of light material, a purple jade and silver crown, and a jade belt on his waist, which was as attractive as the autumn moon and spring breeze.
There have long been rumors in the world that if you want to count the strange men in the world, the first one is naturally King Qi Guochen.
Lu Yuqin and Lu Yuhua felt that the prince was nothing remarkable, and if he could marry King Chen, he would be the envy of women all over the world.
Nan Xuanchen hadn't saluted the emperor yet, but when he saw Nan Xuanmin and Feng Tianwan sitting at the same table, he couldn't help frowning, and his face became gloomy
。
"Imperial sister-in-law, the prince and the girl of the Feng family are about to get married, they shouldn't have seen each other, I saw that there were grapes to taste, so I wanted to feast the marquis and the future princess, so as not to say that I was not thoughtful, who would have thought that the imperial sister-in-law would arrange the two to sit together, this is not very in line." Nan Xuanchen said directly, mercilessly.
Even if the people of Qi are liberalized, the two of them have never been married, which is not etiquette.
When the queen heard this, she was a little uncontrollable because she had always been dignified, after all, Nan Xuanchen was saying that she was not in front of everyone.
But Nan Xuanchen still has this capital, which makes her have a seizure.
"Yes, King Chen reminded the palace, and it was the palace that was negligent." The queen quickly regained her smile and hurriedly asked people to arrange another seat.
Feng Tianwan stayed away from the disgusted person, and finally let go of the handkerchief she was holding, she cast a grateful glance at Nan Xuanchen, but Nan Xuanchen had already sat down in her seat and talked to Emperor Qi Ming, not paying attention to her.
Seeing that the banquet was about to start, the Queen Mother had not yet arrived.
Emperor Qi Ming asked, "Did you send someone to invite the Queen Mother?"
The queen nodded, "The concubine has already sent someone, and she should be there soon." ”
After a while, it was not the Queen Mother who came, but Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother suddenly felt unwell and couldn't come to the prince's birthday banquet." ”
"What" Emperor Qi Ming frowned, "But it's not okay to pass on the imperial doctor, I want to go and see." ”
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has already been accompanied by three princes, and Your Majesty and the Queen Mother specially prepared a birthday banquet for the prince, why disturb the banquet and make everyone unhappy." Aunt Zhang said again.
Emperor Qi Ming's face was complicated for a while, and even the queen frowned slightly.
Today is Nan Xuanchen's birthday banquet, the Queen Mother not only did not come, but also summoned the three princes, it can be seen that the Queen Mother and Nan Xuanchen have been separated.
Aunt Zhang's words had already been brought, and then she gave Nan Xuanchen a gift before retreating.
Everyone in the cool hall had different thoughts, and the atmosphere was embarrassing for a while.
However, Nan Xuanchen didn't care, and said, "Since the queen mother can't come because she is sick, let's have a banquet, I can't waste the grapes I worked so hard to find." ”
Emperor Qi Ming came back to his senses, and he was also busy talking about opening the banquet and letting the palace people serve the food.
Grapes are very rare in the Central Plains, to be transported from the Western Regions, not only have to be careful of bumps on the way, but also have to keep changing ice to keep it fresh, except for the royal family, there is really no one who can eat grapes in Beijing.
Feng Tilt is also the first time to see grapes, a small one, jasper crystal, a bite to eat, sweet and refreshing, really delicious.
It's a pity that each person at the banquet only got two, and even the emperor and queen only got three per person, and everyone was still unsatisfied, just wanting to taste the delicacy of this grape again.
Lu Taishi smiled and said: "This grape is really delicious, King Chen brought the grapes to Beijing, it is estimated that it took a lot of effort, in previous years, the palace had to wait until July to pay tribute to the grapes, King Chen is really powerful." ”
There were thorns in his words, and he poked Zhongnan Xuanchen every sentence.
Nan Xuanchen drank wine, his cheeks were slightly red, and before he could refute, Nan Xuanmin was already there
said: "Uncle Wang has fought in the northwest, so it's normal to be familiar with the way, and Uncle Wang respects his father, and as soon as he gets grapes, he sends a lot of grapes to his father." ”
Emperor Qi Ming nodded with relief, "King Chen still puts me first in everything, and he is worthy of my arm." ”
This was something that Lu Taishi didn't expect, and he couldn't help but feel that he couldn't get off the stage.
Nan Xuanchen also glanced at him provocatively, and raised his wine glass, "Taishi, if you want to taste the taste of grapes again, this king can give you some more, but you have to wait until next year, after all, this king's ability is limited, and he can't get so much." ”
Master Lu laughed dryly, "Isn't this tormenting me, and I am already satisfied with it when I taste it today." ”
Feng Tianwan only cared about eating by herself, but listening to them was not interesting.
Emperor Qi Ming is already over forty years old, the eldest prince and the second prince died early, the adult prince only has the third prince and the crown prince, and the other princes are still young and cannot be entrusted with important responsibilities. Now that Emperor Qi Ming's body is getting weaker and weaker, all parties are openly loyal and secretly are already planning and planning.
