Chapter 111: The Banquet

Concubine De straightened her clothes and hair that was not messy, and felt that there was nothing serious, so she walked out of the rockery and gradually walked towards the Chengqian Palace with Chun Tao.

Concubine De, everyone has almost arrived by then, and even the queen is sitting on the phoenix throne, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Everyone sat around, tasting novel pastries, drinking tea, and laughing.

Seeing Concubine De coming, Mu Ling got up to greet him and entered the hall with Concubine De.

"Sister, why did you come at this time? I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Mu Ling hugged Concubine De's arm, and today was different from the past.

Concubine De smiled slightly, generously and decently, and said: "Sister, I slept in the afternoon, I was dazed, and I hurriedly got up to make up, but it was too late, please don't blame my sister!"

"What my sister said, my sister is very honored to be able to come, how can I blame it!" Mu Lingjiao smiled.

The two entered the house, and Concubine De saluted the queen and sat down.

"Listening to Sister Shufei say that I invited this palace and the sisters to taste something new, this palace didn't believe it at first, but this taste was lost."

The queen cocked her little fingers of the scarlet dancome and gently pinched a piece of hibiscus coconut cake.

The queen took a bite gently, her mouth full of sweetness, and she carefully followed her with a handkerchief.

The queen chewed it carefully, swallowed it, and then said, "I don't know what Sister Shufei is doing?" Hongu only thinks it is very delicious, and I have never eaten such a delicious pastry! Sister Concubine De, you should also hurry up and try Sister Shufei's craftsmanship! ”

The queen kept praising Mu Ling, which surprised Concubine De, how can such a mean queen be so stingy and praise like today?

"Oh? Is it? Since the queen mother is full of praise for the craftsmanship of the concubine's sister, then the palace should really try it! ”

Concubine De smiled, and also pinched a piece of hibiscus coconut cake, and tasted it carefully.

"If the queen likes it, it's fine! In the future, Hongu will often make it for everyone to eat! Mu Ling replied with a smile, "Don't be stunned! Everyone, hurry up and try this new style of tea to see if it is delicious? ”

Mu Ling said, and a group of maidservants came out and gently put down the tea in the tray.

Everyone picked up the silver and copper cups engraved with blue lotus patterns in front of them, slowly raised them, and pecked them gently.

"Sister Shufei, what is this made of?" As if in disbelief, Concubine De took another big sip before putting the cup down.

"This thing is so sweet and delicious, it only makes people feel refreshed and fragrant!" Concubine De's eyes widened, and her face was full of admiration.

"Hmmm! What Sister Concubine De said is really good, Sister Concubine Shu is so ingenious, I didn't expect that there would be research on this aspect! ”

The queen put down her cup, and her eyebrows were full of amazement.

Mu Qing walked in from outside the temple gate at this time, followed by the waiter, and also carried a silver tray with a teapot on it.

Everyone stared at the teapot and wondered what it was a novelty.

Everyone greeted Mu Qing, and Mu Qing walked slowly to the hall, and the servant Qin followed step by step.

When Mu Qing passed by Concubine De, Concubine De smiled slightly and gestured to Mu Qing, and Mu Qing also smiled back.

Mu Qing continued to walk forward, and suddenly there was a scream behind him, accompanied by a crisp sound, the tray in the hand of the servant fell to the ground, and the water in the teapot was all poured on Chun Tao's body, and it was faintly steaming.

"How careless!" Mu Ling reprimanded loudly.

Shiqin knelt on the ground with a thud, trembling with fright, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "The slave didn't mean it, please forgive the mother!"

Chun Tao covered her soaked clothes, the water in this teapot was hot, and now it was summer, and the clothes were already thin, so hot, she only felt that her skin was about to burn off!

Chun Tao's eyes were faintly spewed with anger and suppressed.

"Go down and get the thirty boards!" Mu Ling was angry, his face was pale, he flicked his sleeves and ordered.

Shiqin knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, her eyes flashing with tears, and she was pitiful.

"Shiqin is not intentional, don't punish it so severely!" Mu Qing couldn't look at it, and begged for the servant.

Concubine De smiled slightly and said, "That's it!" This slave and maid didn't mean it, so why punish her so severely! ”

The queen also opened her mouth and said, "I was originally happy, why let these slaves and maids disturb our interest, forget it!"

The anger on Mu Ling's face relaxed a little, calmed down, and still said in a cold tone, "Why don't you hurry up and take Chun Tao down to change clothes!" Go to the hospital to get a good plaster and rub the medicine carefully! ”

"Yes, yes!" Shiqin kowtowed, responded, and hurriedly took Chun Tao down.

"It's a pity that this pot of tea prepared by Sister Shufei, I don't know what kind of novelty it is, we don't have a mouthful!" Concubine De said with a smile.

Mu Qing smiled and said, "There's nothing to be sorry for!" That's ordinary lotus leaf tea! Concubine Shu was afraid that these things would be too sweet, so she prepared lotus leaf tea to moisten everyone's mouth! ”

"Oh? That's not a pity! The queen waved her hand and said.

"Let the sisters laugh! Since the sisters want to drink it, I'll let everyone make another pot! ”

Mu Ling said with a smile, waved his hand, and said to Yu Yan: "Okay, let those music maids in Nanfu come up and sing for all of you!"

The smoke answered, and in a moment, a column of music girls came out, holding the pipa in their arms, covering their faces with light veils, and their bodies were gentle.

Everyone also quieted down, eating pastries, drinking tea, and watching these music girls babble and sing.

These musicians sang songs that no one had ever heard before, and their voices were crisp, and even the tune was crisp, and it was so beautiful that it was refreshing for everyone.

These musicians sang in the slightest, and sang into the hearts of the people, which made these concubines feel something.

All of a sudden, everyone was also involved in it, forgetting the time.

Suddenly, Shiqin hurriedly ran in, with a panicked look on his face, and seeing that everyone looked quite serious, he quietly whispered a few words in Mu Ling's ear.

"What?" Mu Ling suddenly screamed and stood up from the stool.

The music girl's singing also stopped suddenly, and when it came to an end, everyone turned their eyes to Mu Ling and looked at her with a strange expression.

Mu Ling's face showed a little embarrassment, hesitating, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.

"What's wrong? Lady? What happened, such a fuss! ”

Maybe it's because Mu Ling's hospitality this time made the queen very satisfied, and the queen's attitude towards Mu Ling this time was particularly kind, and there was no trace of impatience.
