The next day was a dinner party, and the ladies and officials with enough rank had to attend, and the Yang family also had to go, and the grandmother, aunt, second aunt and others were all eligible to participate, and the second grandmother and others did not have to go.

Zilan ate half full in advance, because there was a link of douxiang wine, she must drink, so she ate first to avoid getting drunk.

When she was going out, she had already dressed up and brought her own small mahogany box, which contained all the incense and incense utensils she had prepared.

Things such as fragrant wine and flower water must also be tested for poison before entering the palace.

Frangipani followed her into the palace today to protect her from someone in the palace who targeted her alone, and it would not be good if something unsightly happened.

Yang came over and asked, "Lan'er, are you ready?" ”

"Mother, I'm ready, I can go."

"Okay, let's go."

Although Yang was a little worried, he couldn't help the child, so he could only stabilize his expression and relax himself, just don't put too much pressure on the child.

All the way to the carriage, Zilan closed her eyes slightly, and did not speak, and the Yang family did not disturb her.

The grandmother's family outside the palace gate was already waiting for the four of them, father and son, and it just so happened that the family was high enough to participate in the banquet as officials, and the positions they sat in according to the rank were also very close.

"Let's go."

The grandmother doesn't ask anymore, it's useless to ask, and it also increases the child's nervousness, it's better not to take it seriously, and the child is more relaxed.

Zilan can sit with her mother and grandmother, she is the second grade, and her grandmother is super first, so they can be lined up together.

The officials sat down and began to play songs and dances, and soon the emperor and the queen mother also arrived together.

Everyone stood up and saluted, "My emperor Wan'an, the queen mother Wan'an." ”

"The Qing's family is flat."

The second prince of the Great Food Country also presented his own gift to the emperor and said words to congratulate the friendship between the two countries, and the emperor toasted with him.

Zilan sat with the elders, silent, observing around, it was also the first time to attend the dinner, so she was in the mood to look at the officials opposite.

She saw the third prince and the sixth prince, wearing the prince's python robe and recognized it at a glance, probably because of the relationship between the big food country and the court, and the dinner party was more formal, so the prince's clothes she wore were even the young princes and princesses wearing formal clothes, which were easy to recognize.

The reason why the two princes are distinguished is very simple, the three princes have a decadent face, and one is full of wine, while the sixth prince is high-spirited, smiling, with excellent etiquette, and very handsome.

She looked around curiously, and just happened to crash into the eyes of the six princes, and the two of them were facing each other. The sixth prince looked at her clear and smart eyes, raised his wine glass, and smiled slightly.

Zilan didn't respond to him, but twisted his head, and went to look somewhere else, pretending not to see it, but in fact, it was to avoid suspicion, I don't know how many pairs of eyes looked at it in public, and it was better to smile at a strange man.

His eyes wandered around, and he just saw Cui Hao staring at her, his eyes were sharp, and he meant a warning.

Zilan lowered her head with a flat mouth, stingy, she couldn't look at it.

Ziyan touched Cui Hao's wine glass, and the two of them were sitting together from the Hanlin Academy.

"Don't be too harsh, she's just curious."

"There are a lot of people, and I'm afraid that someone will deliberately trouble her, so it's always right to be cautious. Now that she is in the limelight, it is better to be cautious. ”

Cui Hao is afraid of being caught by her, and she is by no means stingy.

"That's right."

Ziyan also felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he didn't persuade again.

was glared at by Cui Hao, Zilan didn't dare to look around, lowered her head and played with the silk silk around her waist, she was really bored.

Yang leaned into her ear and asked, "Isn't it boring?" ”

"Well, it's boring."

"Why don't you eat something?"

"If you don't eat it, I want to taste wine, but I can't eat it."

When I came out, I deliberately rinsed my mouth, tasted wine and flower dew, and there could be no other taste in my mouth, so it would be too miscellaneous and not fragrant.

"Oh, I forgot."

Yang smiled.

The singing and dancing program is very interesting, the dancing girl dances beautifully, and her figure is delicate and slender, which is very interesting.

After the singing and dancing show, the second prince got up, "Your Majesty, I want to perform Douxiang for everyone, I don't know if it's appropriate." ”

"Oh, okay, I've long heard that the people of Dashi are all perfume masters, so it's just right for the county lord of Jingyi to play with you."

The Emperor smiled in agreement.

Only then did Zilan stand up, salute the emperor, and then turn around and salute the second prince.

The little eunuch moved a low table and chair and placed it in the middle, ready for the two of them.

Zilan asked people to take out their boxes, came to the table and chairs and sat down after saluting, and the second prince also sat down.

The second prince and Zilan were both preparing, and took their own incense burner out, which they would use later.

"County Lord, come first."

The second prince spoke politely.

Zilan nodded slightly, took out the incense prepared in advance and put it in the incense burner, added a spacer, and slowly lit it, this fragrance is fragrant and elegant.

She slowly raised her hand to perform a finger dance for everyone, mainly because it was embarrassing to wait dryly, and she played a trick to entertain everyone.

The second prince's eyes lit up, and she also smelled the fragrance as her fingers danced.

"Second prince, guess."

"This is Qingyuan incense, sweet pine, thatch one tael, Huoxiang, incense aconite, Lingling incense each half and two, Xuanshen, musk each half and a half, Angelica Angelica seven and a half money, clove peel three money, red doulou four taels, rhubarb two money, frankincense two money, stack incense three money, rice brain two money, for the fine, refining honey and even."

The second prince spoke confidently.

"That's right, it's not bad, the second prince is really a master. You please. ”

Zilan smiled and raised her hand to signal, extinguished the incense burner, closed the lid, and let the little eunuch who was waiting on the side take it away, so as not to spread the fragrance and affect everyone's judgment.

The second prince took out a bottle of flower dew, smiled, got warm boiled water in two teacups, lit two drops each, and stretched out his hand to make a word of invitation.

The fragrance of the flower dew is strong, and she smells it the moment she opens it, which is the authentic rose flower dew. There is still a slight difference from the roses produced in her space.

The Rose Flower Dew is made with the dew condensed on the rose flowers in the early morning, which is still different from the one she boils with the roses, because of the production process and the environmental climate.

Zilan slowly tasted the flower dew and nodded appreciatively, "Rose flower dew, collected from the early morning flower dew, plus the dew steamed from the rose flower, the taste is rich and fragrant, the taste is sweet and fragrant, the best flower dew." ”

"Wonderful, the county lord is really a wonderful person."

The smell of rose dew was far away, and the officials also smelled the fragrance, and they couldn't help but praise each other, bowing their heads and whispering.

The atmosphere was very harmonious and friendly, and the emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Zilan also took out one of her own flower dew, she gave up the rose flower dew and chose the dew of the flowers grown in her own space. “

After tasting it, the second prince tilted his head and thought for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of flower dew is this, why didn't I taste it?" ”

"This is boiled with the flower dew on the orchid and the dew on the bamboo leaves, which has a good taste and has the effect of defeating the fire."

"I see, it tastes so good."

The second prince nodded happily in admiration.
