Chapter 53: The Night Banquet
A few people took a walk around the island, and then sat down in the hut in the middle of the island and ate something.
"Yan'er, although this snake island is called Snake Island, it is not because there are snakes on it, but because it is shaped like a snake." Fu Jin continued.
"Yes, Li Xuanshao often comes to the palace to play with me, and sometimes we come here to explore." King Ning said with a smile: "At that time, I thought that this island was really big, and it seemed that it would never be finished. ”
"But now it's been a lap in less than an hour." Li Xuan said: "Li Rui, do you remember Li Yi? ”
"Yes." King Ning's eyes dimmed: "Former crown prince Li Yi, although he is younger than me, he is smarter than you and me, and he also took us to find here." ”
"yes." Li Xuan sighed and said, "It's a pity that God is jealous of talent, a fire took his life, and he was only five years old that year. ”
"yes." King Ning also sighed.
"Li Rui." Li Xuan suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen his bones exactly?" ”
"Naturally, I saw it, my father led people to search for the ashes of the palace, I was young at that time, and I followed behind the queen mother, and I really saw the bones in the ashes, and the bones still had the peace lock given to him by my father around their necks." King Ning said, "You... Why do you ask about this today? ”
Li Xuan smiled and said, "It's just touching the scene." ”
"His Royal Highness King Ning, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, Fujin, the banquet is about to begin."
"Okay."
Everyone boarded the boat and left Snake Island and headed for the Imperial Garden Pier.
"You..."I asked Li Xuan with some hesitation: "Take me to see your grandmother today, but it's because of ......"
Li Xuan looked at me with a smile and waited for me to finish.
"But because ......... Forget it, don't ask. ”
"What does Yan'er want to ask me?" Li Xuan blinked his eyes and asked, "But ask me if I let my grandmother look at my granddaughter-in-law?" ”
"You—" I reached out and nudged him.
The boat rocked, and Li Xuan grabbed me and looked at me affectionately.
"The ship has arrived." The rowing eunuch jumped ashore and secured the rope.
"Disembarked." I gently pushed Li Xuan away and jumped off the boat.
—————
Li Xuan led me to the palace where the banquet was held.
After entering the main hall, Li Xuan took me to the seat of King Jing's Mansion.
On the left are King Jing and Princess Jing, opposite are King Ning and Princess Ning, and the other seats are also sitting on various palace nobles, as well as important officials of the court and their families.
When everyone saw me beside Li Xuan, they were all a little curious, and they couldn't help but whisper.
"You're nervous?" Li Xuan asked.
"No... No. I hurriedly said.
"Then why are your hands cold?" Li Xuan asked, taking my hand as he spoke.
I quickly retracted my hand, but I saw that many people had already seen it.
For a strange woman beside King Jing's son, it is inevitable that everyone will guess her identity.
King Jing and Princess Jing also looked over and seemed to have something to say.
"Your parents?" I hurriedly reminded Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled and raised his glass to the two of them, and said to me, "Don't worry, my father knows that I am a human being." ”
Are you human? Do your parents really know what kind of person you are?
was thinking about it, but saw King Jing give Li Xuan a thumbs up with a relieved face, and then began to drink wine in spite of Princess Jing's dissuasion.
……… Indeed, there is a father, and there is a son.
I was sighing, but when I saw everyone standing up, I quickly stood up.
A moment later, the Emperor and Empress Zhou walked in, surrounded by them.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Zhongqing is flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Xuan and I sat down and turned our heads to look at the emperor respectfully.
"Today's queen's birthday is also the day I marry Yu'er." The emperor said and looked at Empress Zhou.
Queen Zhou's face was flat and did not show any joy.
"Zhou Zifan!"
"The minister is here."
"Now that the border is stable, you have the greatest credit, as the queen's brother, you have made great contributions to our dynasty, and you have been awarded the general."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the General!" The crowd shouted.
General? The general is the highest position among the generals. Since the restoration of the country, there has only been one general, that is, Liu Dan, the son of Taishi, after Liu Dan died in battle five years ago, the position of general has been vacant. Now that Zhou Zifan, as one of the three heroes of the restoration of the country, was awarded the general, it is not surprising.
Then, the banquet officially began, and many dancers ran to the venue and danced to the music.
I felt that someone looked at me and looked up, but I saw that it was the queen of that week, and the queen of that week seemed to have a slight smile on her face because of her brother's matter.
"Yan'er, eat fish." Li Xuan gave me a piece of fish clip: "What are you looking at?" ”
I came back to my senses and smiled when I saw my bowl full of food.
"What are you doing? Eat fast, hungry, aren't you? Li Xuan said with concern.
I was about to speak, but I saw that the queen stood up and walked straight over.
