Chapter 40: The Lake Feast

"You're a liar!" Mo Hui threw the dim sum in his hand to the ground, "You stole me from her, why don't you know who she is?" ”

Children are not easy to deceive.

"I didn't look at her face because I felt guilty. So I asked her name, and I found out. Quick, find your mother-in-law on your back and get out of here. ”

"Then you don't like me?" Mo Hui puffed out his mouth, as if he was angry with the biggest anger in the world.

Bai Yi walked over, squatted down, picked up Mo Hui, took off one of his shoes and handed it to Mo Hui's biological mother.

The two women looked at each other and smiled sadly.

Baiyi picked up Mo Hui and walked towards the window, and heard the other party say to Mo Hui, "Child, follow your mother, don't look back, don't make a sound, don't cry." ”

They went down to the ground, avoided the palace people, and passed through the high palace walls and returned to the Qingzhao Palace. Bai Yi didn't think that Mo Hui believed those words, but when he squatted down and put him down, he hugged Bai Yi and didn't let her go.

"Hui'er, I'll come to see you again. We're friends. ”

After a long time, he got out of the arms of the white clothes, I don't know if he had tears, anyway, it is dry now. "I can't let you always squat on the damp ground, you wait, next time I come, I will prepare an empty room to play with you, and no one can disturb you."

Bai Yi gently kissed Mo Hui's forehead and promised to watch him enter the room before leaving.

When Bai Yi returned to the underground secret passage round hall, Mo Chang left a note and snacks thereβ€”because they were going to the Slender Waist Lake for a banquet that night, and there was no food for Bai Yi.

The largest boat on the lake is called "on the clouds", and Princess Yanyang sent someone to charter the whole boat, and the banquet was set up on the second floor. She herself is the host, and the guest of honor is He Bachun, the official envoy of the new emperor of Liguo, and a deputy envoy Chun Yuren - it is the new queen of the north who chooses her mother's family, calm and silent, and generous.

Hou Cong and Mo Chang are the main escorts, and Qin Xian is the deputy escort - Qin Xian is indeed clever, after "betraying" the white clothes and attracting Mo Yanyang's attention, he has never given the princess an idea for the big things at hand, nor has he enthusiastically followed the princess to curry favor, but at the critical moment, he always comforts the princess's heart and teaches her how to "stabilize" and how to get Hou Cong, so now, in Mo Yanyang's opinion, he can do better than a group of people who do the right thing under his command, and he is more pleasing than a group of people who give him ideas - as for Changkong, Dugu Zheng, Yuan and Fluorescent have a few more, and they also have their own seats, which can be regarded as deputy assistants.

Qingsong, Cuizhu, Ling Xiao and the chief historian and other people who came with them set up a table next door to eat and drink. Most of the things that were served were handed over to the people of "Yunshang", and on this boat, they were more sensible and capable than the people who followed the master for a long time.

When Ling Xiao saw He Bachun and his deputy envoy Chun Yuren, he was a little nervous. The errand boy who was selected by her at the gate of the princess's mansion had already used the two of them to inquire about Chun Yuren's identity. She accosted her as the old servant of the third princess, and she was polite and polite. Ling Xiao whispered, "There are some things that you still have to say to adults, and you rely on adults to make your decisions." ”

Before Chun Yuren could ask "what are you doing", he was pulled into the main cabin by Mo Chang.

Qin Xian had already told the princess that Hou Cong liked to eat fish and didn't like shrimp, so the music started, and the wine and dishes began to be presented.

It wasn't until he opened the boat and hugged the song daughter of the pipa that he came up to say goodbye and presented the song list, Mo Yanyang let He Bachun, He Bachun let Mo Chang, Mo Chang let Chun Yu Ren again, Chun Yu Ren let Hou Cong, Hou Cong let Mo Yanyang push a few times, and finally ordered some tunes and sang. At this time, the shrimp ball soup was also served, and Mo Yanyang's voice sounded through the music and soft singing, "I know that General Xiaohou doesn't eat shrimp, this is prepared for us." ”

Then she asked He Bachun about some gossip about the northern kingdom, "I heard that you Datong has a squeamish princess, and the eldest is the third. ”

He Bachun bowed his hand respectfully, "Yes, our third princess is delicate and intelligent, extremely filial, and extremely kind. ”

"Is it your queen mother?"

"Yes."

"With such a good background, what kind of noble son-in-law do you have to match?"

Qin Xian found that He Bachun was embarrassed to answer this question, and hurriedly "rescued" him, "It turns out that His Highness doesn't know about this?" The third princess of Liguo, but she has been in love with General Xiaohou for a long time! ”

Princess Yanyang deliberately asked Chun Yuren, "Is it true?" ”

Datong was actually in the marriage of Princess Zhang Luosan, Chun Yuren didn't say much, picked up the wine glass and toasted Princess Yanyang.

Hou Cong had a cold face, no reaction at all, and listened attentively to the music, the third princess glanced at him, and her heart was full of masochistic pleasure. ”

The song daughter tuned the strings and sang it, and the people present were stunned for a moment, and then pushed the cup and changed the lamp to fool the past, except for Hou Cong.

He clicked on these words when he saw them on the song list, not knowing what they meant. Now he listened carefully, but he still couldn't hear what was sung in the song, but felt that there was no sadness and hesitation in the tune, and some were bright and joyful. Mo Chang could understand the soft language, and gently translated for Hou Cong and a few of them in the north, "The lotus flower is half-opened, and the Luo skirt is the tailor." The body is thin in white, and the sideburns are worn with red flowers. Jasper's daughter Xiang, who is the husband? Wear white clothes at four o'clock, and love the rain at five. Plain white top, bright red needles on the line, shy and don't look back, see you under the lotus leaves. ”

Halfway through the song, the cool breeze blows on the lake, the lanterns from far and near shine on the lake, and the wine, coriander, flowers, balsam, and powder are indistinguishable. Although the song daughter called on this ship is not a famous character, she is also exquisite, and the ship's family has specially found a person who is not very famous in order to serve distinguished guests, and her appearance and singing voice are fresh and pleasant. The first song was already intoxicating, and the second song was sung here, and the guests on the passing ships, who could hear it clearly, and those who couldn't hear it clearly, cheered in unison. The applause also rang out rhythmically, one after another.

This was originally the rule on the thin waist lake, and even became the custom and scenery here. The children of rich families are also familiar with each other, and they have to compare who takes the applause for the occasion, which is good.

One of them applauded, crisp and hurried, in a rhythm of three, two, three.

Changkong knew that this was the code given by Murong Xing. He searched for the source of the sound, and saw a half-large painted boat leaning against the shore, and another unobtrusive awning boat. From the direction of the half-sized painting boat, he rowed over without speed or slowness.
