Chapter 22 Flowing Flowers and Flowers Feast
As the eunuch shouted the word "open banquet" in his voice, the annual tangram banquet finally began.
The queen mother sat on the top seat, and Li Jinshu followed the crowd and bowed three times to the queen mother according to the etiquette she had just learned.
The young lady on the field was divided into two sides, and everyone had sake and a few exquisite pastries and snacks on the table.
Li Jinshu had only seen the palace feast in the TV series in the past, and the most impressive scene of the Tang Dynasty coming from all over the world to congratulate him.
Compared with the magnificent banquet of the imperial court, today's harem banquet should be the theme of the Tangram Festival, and most of the flowers and lanterns are arranged around, which is a little more poetic and casual.
The seats are arranged according to the official rank of the elders in the family, and the seats of the ladies of the Li family are quite remote, Li Jinshu is happy to be unrestrained in the back, she stretched out her head and looked at the few people sitting in the front row curiously.
Li Jinyue whispered beside her: "My father said that this palace banquet is mainly to show the princess to the second prince and the third prince, and the second person sitting in the first row is the second prince who is the most favored by the emperor today. ”
Li Jinshu stuffed a piece of dim sum into the entrance, soft and glutinous and sweet, melted in the mouth, worthy of a royal banquet.
As she ate, she asked, "Who is that?" Sitting in the fifth position, the one who is not wearing an official uniform, but wearing a dark blue robe. ”
"It should be the four princes of the saint, I heard that these four princes are the most unfavored, and the mother concubine went early, there are no relatives to rely on, no power and no power, and his health is not good, and he has not been crowned king until now."
"You say, who is most likely to be married to the second prince?" The girls were quite interested in these gossips, and Li Jinmeng also came over to ask.
Li Jinshu smiled mysteriously, and raised his chin to point to Su Qing at the head of the female table: "Of course it's her." ”
"Why?" Li Jinmeng and Li Jinyue asked puzzled.
"Look at this seating arrangement, that Miss Su is opposite the second prince, which means that she is the first in the selection." Li Jin wrote, it seems that no matter ancient or modern, the knowledge at the banquet is the same.
The dancers in the palace danced on the field, all with soft waists and boneless limbs.
At the end of the song, Li Jinshu applauded happily, poured himself another glass of fruit wine, and drank it in one gulp.
Some eunuchs shouted: "Liuhua Fangfei feast, open!" ”
I saw a little eunuch holding out a jade ruyi, and a pianist began to play music.
"What is the Flowing Flower Feast?" Li Jinshu watched the second prince take the jade Ruyi and hand it to the third prince next to him, and asked puzzledly.
Li Jinyue was surprised: "You don't know? ”
Li Jinshu touched his nose: "Big sister, tell me?" ”
"Every year, the Qiqiao banquet is set up to flow flowers and flowers, with the sound of the piano as the music, the wishful transmission, when the sound of the piano stops, the wishful hand of whom, you can choose the same display from the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is the best time for me to perform, and for this reason, my mother forced me to practice music every day. ”
Oh, drumming and passing flowers. Li Jinshu nodded knowingly.
"What is the second sister preparing? I heard that the second sister's courtyard was full of joyful laughter every day, and I often went to Jinyu's yard, so I guess I was fully prepared. ”
Li Jinshu smiled dryly and waved his hand, stuffing a piece of pastry into his mouth.
As soon as the sound of the piano stopped, the boy who held Yu Ruyi in his hand stood up, and after saluting, he danced a sword.
Li Jinshu looked at Lehe, watching the young ladies of the son come to the stage one after another, singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting were displayed one by one, and the free programs were lively.
After Yu Ruyi walked around, the banquet gradually became warmer, and the young ladies also entered the state, chatting a few words from time to time, and commenting on the performances on the field.
Just as she was about to continue to pass the jade Ruyi, the queen put down the wine glass in her hand and said: "In the past, there were rules and regulations for passing on the jade Ruyi, so today it is better to be casual and have some fresh tricks." The palace will ask questions at will, and then draw your signs, and whoever you turn to at will, who will answer, how about it? ”
Everyone at the table was reluctant, the prepared talents were not allowed to be displayed, and the question was suddenly asked, if you couldn't deal with it, wouldn't it be a shame.
Only a few conceited talents should be he: "The queen's mother has a high opinion, this method is novel, and it can test the real talent ability, which is very wonderful." ”
The queen stretched out her hand and beckoned the little eunuch holding the famous brand: "Since everyone thinks this method is good, let's start." ”
"The first question, with dance as the theme, shows the summer sun."
Li Jin's book was full of interest, random questions, lottery questions and answers, this difficulty has increased a lot! I don't know which unlucky guy was the first to be lit!
The queen stretched out her hand and took out a card from the tray of the little eunuch: "Household member Wailang Li Jia, Li Jinshu." ”
Li Jinshu: "............"
