Chapter 179: Reward Banquet (2)
The banquet was still held in Changchun Palace.
Lin Zhen here is very familiar, as usual, it is splendid, the garden is overflowing, whether it is a banquet, or the ornaments in the palace are all showing the majesty and wealth of the heavenly family.
Just like why the Buddha statues in the temple are wrapped in gold leaf, if the palace is not as good as ordinary people, how can the courtiers and wives be in awe of the royal family, to make people feel at a loss, the majesty of the heavenly family is always revealed.
Lin Zhen is also born in a rich and noble family, from childhood to motherhood, there are not a few rare treasures, but compared with this palace, it is nothing, they are all small and big, this palace is placed on the side of the huge red coral, the landscape map carved by yellow rosewood, and the beautiful palace lamp...... Everywhere is extravagant and luxurious, and those who are shaking can't open their eyes.
"Hmph, I don't know."
It was a cold female voice that interrupted Lin Zhen's viewing, and Lin Zhen looked at it, only to see a noble lady sitting in the lower left of the palace banquet, with a fierce color at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and her head was full of pearls and hairpins, which was extremely luxurious.
But then he looked at it with a look of disgust, and the disdain in his eyes was clear and unconcealed.
"Oh...... Presumably this is Mrs. Xiao, polite. Even if Lin Zhen was displeased, he also knew that this Mrs. Xiao was originally the county lord and was born in the royal family, so she naturally looked down on women from such a family as them, and she was married to an important minister, so she was afraid that her eyes would grow to the top of her head, let alone put her in her eyes.
However, she looked down on herself, and Lin Zhen's family wanted to live with her for the sake of Lin Zhen and the face of the Chengguo Mansion, and slowly took two steps towards her and made a flat salute.
"Huh."
That Xiao Zhou's is just Er'er, even if he responds, he doesn't return the gift.
"I heard that Mrs. Xiao is also from the county lord, and sure enough, her beloved daughter is like Mrs. Xiao, which is really enviable, unlike me, I was born in a family, and I didn't think that my daughter could be named the county lord, it is really Your Majesty's grace!"
Lin Zhen didn't want to worry about her, but they were all housemothers, when did she experience such idleness, her daughters are the same, who is more noble than whom?
She, Lin Zhen, just wanted her to be unable to get off the stage.
Xiao Zhou's eyelids jumped, and the carefully depicted eyebrows and eyes changed slightly, "I don't think that Mrs. Lin's mouth is fast-talking, no wonder Miss Lin is also a good learner, and she has to find a top-notch child in everything." ”
"That's also her smartness, Your Majesty also gave her the title of Jiamin, it seems that Mrs. Xiao is right to praise it." Lin Zhen pretended not to understand, dealing with Xiao Zhou, who held his own identity, but he was thicker than her, so she had no way to find it.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhou's face was a little ugly, and in the end he turned his eyes away, Lin Zhen's docile appearance made her lose her appetite, and the mother and daughter were cunning foxes, making people unable to catch their tails, which was really disgusting.
Lin Zhen didn't realize it, so he took a few steps back and sat down, but tonight, Zhennanhou and Xiao Runing were late to arrive, but I don't know why?
Lin Zhen also heard the conversation between Lin Zhen and Xiao Zhou, and Lin Zhen also knew that Xiao Zhou's was ridiculed, so it's okay, if you take a step back, others will take ten steps, if you refuse to back down one step, others will not dare to act rashly.
Or the way of the world is like this, people are good and others are deceived.
Lin Zhen is not a good person, and neither is she, Lin Zhen!
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here to ......"
The eunuchs outside the hall shouted in their voices, and there were only four of them in the hall, so they naturally quieted down immediately, and Xiao Zhou's family was arrogant, and he was busy saluting.
After the emperor and the queen mother sat down, the emperor who listened to it said suspiciously, "Why don't you see the Marquis of Zhennan and the county lord of Jiahui?" ”
Xiao Zhou's body bowed again, "Rong Concubine returned, Zhennan Hou and the little girl suddenly had a high fever last night, today is the Queen Mother's banquet, I wanted to struggle to get up and come to thank the Queen Mother, but the concubine was afraid that they would pass the cold to the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be ten thousand can't do it, so the concubine came to thank him alone, and it was also a confession." ”
This Xiao Zhou family was originally born in the court, this rhetoric is a set, even if the emperor and the queen mother are displeased, how can they blame it?
"Oh. How coincidental is it? Father and daughter both have a high fever at the same time. However, the emperor seemed to mention it casually, and his eyes swept over Xiao Zhou, who was kneeling on the ground, speaking of which, this is also his sister.
This sister can be regarded as having grown up with him since childhood, and he knows what his temperament is, so he doesn't have to be so serious.
"It's not a coincidence, the concubine is physically stronger, after all, the Hou Ye is old, and he can't do anything, last time he had to hand over the fold despite the dissuasion of the concubine, and asked His Majesty to give him an idle position, even if he died, he wanted to die on the battlefield, fortunately, His Majesty did not agree to him, otherwise the concubine would be worried, and he would complain about His Majesty's ...... in his heart."
Xiao Zhou said this, regardless of the fear of offending Zhou Yan.
"Oh? I didn't know that Zhennanhou was so weak and sickly, I looked at his hard body, and he was in the prime of life. Zhou Yan swiped his thumb and got a jade wrench, and his tone was high and low, making it impossible to hear the real joy and anger.
Xiao Zhoushi raised his head at this time, with a worried look, "It is also His Majesty's care, Hou Ye is also a hard-mouthed person, he was young in the past, he has suffered a lot of injuries on the battlefield, and he doesn't know how to maintain it, and he is not old, and he still holds his mouth hard, this is not just a little windy last night, and he can't get up today......" As he spoke, there seemed to be crystal tears in his eyes, and he was very anxious.
In the end, Zhou Yan's expression was relieved, and when he heard Xiao Zhou's words, "You all get up!" Seeing that I only cared about talking, I forgot that since Zhennanhou is sick, then take care of it with peace of mind, in the final analysis, this body's illness is also for me, left for Da Zhou, pass on my will, go to Tai Hospital to pick the best imperial doctor to go to the house to treat Zhennanhou and Jiahui County, it is necessary to let Zhennanhou recover as soon as possible. ”
Xiao Zhoushi said in a hurry, "Master Hou is just the duty of a courtier to do this, and he has already asked a doctor to prescribe medicine, why does Your Majesty bother to mobilize the people like this, Lord Hou is afraid that he will not be able to sleep and eat during his illness......"
"This town is valued by the Hou of Nan, and it is just a trivial matter to send a imperial doctor to take care of it, why should you be in a hurry to refuse, is it possible that you are not at ease with me......" Zhou Yande's words seemed to be joking, but his eyes were indeed getting more and more so that Xiao Zhou's could not see the bottom.
Xiao Zhou's family had no choice but to laugh and say, "Thank you for your majesty's grace for being such a concubine." ”
After speaking, he bowed again and returned to the banquet.
"Well, the emperor's compassion for the courtiers is also the blessing of the Great Zhou, and it is also the blessing of the courtiers, come, mourn the family and respect everyone for a ......"
The Queen Mother, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up at this moment, not caring at all about the two vacant seats in the palace, and her cloudy eyes wanted to become sophisticated and calm.
The people of the temple hurriedly raised their glasses, and after thanking them, they drank them together.
