Chapter 169: The Family Banquet Has Changed

When Zi attacked the first Mid-Autumn Festival, Shi Wang was still very curious about moon cakes, and now he has stayed in Zi Xi for many years, and he has had a lot of reunion festivals, and he can count the folk customs in between.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the palace held a chrysanthemum crab banquet, drank chrysanthemum wine chrysanthemum tea, and the dinner banquet was crab roe stuffy rice, with sandwiched crab meat and chrysanthemum vinegar, and then served some exquisite side dishes, with sweet soup to moisten the lungs, it lined this boundless moonlight.

Under the throne, all the ministers took their seats in turn, and Shi Wang wanted to emphasize his status as a general, so he was also among the courtiers.

Everyone sat in their seats, talking to each other, but no one moved their chopsticks, at most they just sipped wine.

There is still a vacancy for the person in the upper position, and all the ministers know who it is, but they can't ask questions beyond the bounds.

But King Zheng knew why no one dared to move the dishes on the table in front of the ministers, and he held back a wave of anger in his heart, and said to the waiter angrily: "What is the queen doing, so many people are waiting for her." Give me the order to get her to come quickly. ”

The waiter received the order and left in a hurry.

Princess Sangping saw that the king was annoyed, and explained softly: "Maybe it took a lot of effort to dress up, and I came here after a while." ”

The king snorted coldly, poured down a glass of wine, and signaled, "Let's have a feast." ”

The attendant was ordered, opened his voice, and the vocal dancer stepped forward.

Only then did the ministers pick up their chopsticks and start eating.

Round after round, the people at the banquet changed again and again, and the tail dishes were served, and the queen had not yet entered the banquet.

The face of the political king gradually became solemn and iron-blue.

He asked the attendant beside him, "What was the queen doing when you went to deliver the message?" ”

The attendant replied, "The queen is getting dressed." ”

"After all this time, are you still grooming? Does she want to pretend to be an immortal before she is willing to come? ”

The attendant silently retreated, and went to pass the word again.

Princess Sangping's face was also a little embarrassed, but she still had to take care of the royal family's face: "I said that it takes some time for girls to make up." It's just a meal, it's late, it's not a big deal. ”

"Aunt don't want to speak for her, she is a queen, she has no punctuality, no etiquette of a mother of the country, this king has asked me three or four times not to move, I am afraid that no one in this palace will put it in her eyes."

"You have said this very seriously, although the queen has a strange temper, she has not said anything out of the way." Princess Sangping looked at the courtiers in the lower seat and reminded in a low voice, "In front of all the ministers, the king can't say what his princess looks like." ”

King Zheng snorted coldly: "She wants to maintain the dignity of her queen, and she should also abide by the queen's rules." is so presumptuous and untrained, where is there still the majesty of the mother of the country. It just so happens that the ministers are here, and they should also see what kind of person their mother of the country is. ”

The ministers bowed their heads, not daring to speak rashly.

The king personally rebuked the queen in front of the ministers, and the relationship between the two of them is clear.

Shi Wang wanted to say a few words for Empress Dai, but she didn't arrive at the banquet now, and she ignored the king's order, and it seemed that it was all wrong at a glance, and she really couldn't find a good reason to defend her.

The atmosphere at the banquet was dull, and there was no longer the atmosphere of talent, which made it a little painful to stay for a while.

"That's it, you all have to go back to your home to reunite with your relatives, and it will be a waste of time to stay in the palace any longer. Let's all go, and let the king and the princess enjoy the moon together for a while. "The king is getting impatient.

Seeing the situation, the ministers retreated one after another, and the rest of the affairs were left to the royal family to deal with, and it was not easy to interfere.

"Yuan Ping, you stay a little longer."

Shi Wangben retired with the ministers, and was stopped by the king again.

"Today is the day of family reunion, you can stay in the palace for a while, accompany your aunt, and live in the palace."

These words went to Princess Sangping's heart, and she said happily: "You can live in my palace today, just right, we can talk a little more." ”

When the time comes, return to the original position.

The king beckoned again: "Sit down, our family is closer." ”

Shi Wang was stunned.

The position that the king was referring to was the place where Empress Dai should have been sitting.

Just as she hesitated, the original owner of the seat arrived.

Empress Dai is still wearing a black dress, although she has been combing for a long time, she has not seen how delicate her makeup is.

She came with a cold face, and when she saw that there was only a mess left at the banquet and no minister in sight, she lowered her voice and said, "Didn't Your Majesty urge me to go to the banquet?" Is this the leftovers left for me? ”

The king suppressed the anger in his heart: "The queen means that whenever you come, you must use the hot dish that has just been served?" In this way, let the ministers, let the king, sit here and drink the northwest wind? ”

Empress Dai was a little weak-hearted, but she still didn't want to lose her momentum, so she stubbornly said: "Then how is it arranged now?" ”

"The reunion festival is naturally a family gathering in one place, drinking and admiring the moon."

The king sat back again, and Princess Sangping saw that the two of them were stiff, and she didn't know what to do, let alone Shi Wang.

King Fang asked her to sit next to King Zheng, but now that Dai is behind, it is better to sit at the bottom end.

Shi Wanggang walked all the way back, and the king called her again: "Yuan Ping, I said, come up and sit." ”

Empress Dai had already decided to stay and sit for a while, which was considered an apology, but when she heard the words of the political king, she stopped abruptly.

Shi Wang stood in the same place, not knowing what to do.

"Sister, come up and sit here." The king pointed lightly with his hand and repeated it again.

How's that going now?

Shi Wang was sandwiched between the two people who were quarreling, and no matter how he chose, he offended people.

The scene was so stalemate for a while.

The four of them just didn't say a word, look at you look at me, and the atmosphere was lowered to freezing.

Shi Wang only felt like a thorn in his back, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to take a step, but he went to the seat under the seat.

"Your Majesty, the queen has arrived, let her sit down, and also taste the newly brewed chrysanthemum bar."

King Zheng was angry when he saw that Princess Yuanping was also disobedient to him, but he also knew the meaning of her move, so he couldn't blame her.

Who said, but Empress Dai didn't want to accept this step.

"Princess Yuanping will follow the king's wishes. This Mid-Autumn Festival, it's time for the family to get together, who let you all have the surname. ”

After that, Empress Dai left again without the slightest salute.

The implication of her words is that she is not her surname, she is not their family, and she should not spend the holidays with them.

In this way, the king was really angry.

He slapped the table and shouted: "After this king respects you as a famous general, he will crown you as the queen, so that your Wei family still has Wang En by his side." But you are so reckless, you have no responsibility for your family, no mother's responsibility for your country, and no honor for your country. If you don't want to stay in this palace, just leave! ”

Hearing this, Shi Wang immediately knelt in front of the king and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is very important, don't talk nonsense." ”

Princess Sangping was also taken aback, and hurried to his side, persuading: "Your Majesty, you can't talk about this matter at will." ”

The two of them were so nervous, but Queen Dai didn't look back and leave.
