55. Mid-Autumn Festival (2)
The emperor and queen slowly walked into the pavilion hand in hand, with a good appearance of harmony and affection. The eldest princess of Enping was supported by someone, and behind her trembled slightly, and her old steps slowly followed.
Everyone in the Liuhui Reflection Pavilion bowed or knelt down to salute, and exhaled: "The concubine wishes Your Majesty the Mid-Autumn Festival and the eldest princess a happy life." ”
The emperor and queen sat down, and Emperor Chen waved his sleeves: "No courtesy." ”
The crowd waited for them to get up and return to their positions, Pei Zhenwan raised her head and looked at the top of the main seat, and couldn't help but suddenly tremble in her heart, no matter how she was usually not surprised, her eyes widened at this moment, as if she could hear how the heartbeat in her chest was flustered and eager, almost jumping out of her chest.
The person in the main seat, Emperor Chen, isn't it Feng Lan?!
Pei Zhenwan looked at the main seat in a daze, at this moment she only felt as if the heavens had played a huge joke on her. She was so cautious, checked and checked, and only then did she determine that Feng Lan's identity was not a hidden danger, but after all calculations, she still didn't find out, this is what Emperor Chen is playing. An attacking emperor, why would a good person pretend to be a general of Qianniuwei in the palace? In the past three or two months, why have you been haunting the Yeting Palace so frequently?
Pei Zhenwan felt that her thoughts were extremely confused at the moment, there were too many questions, and she couldn't clear them one by one, she had set up a bureau, and Emperor Chen was originally the person she needed to rely on in the bureau of revenge. But today, her game is completely messed up.
According to the previous preparations, Liang Meiren will recommend her out in a few moments, can she still be stopped at this moment? Naturally not, Wei Guifei, Liang Meiren, Senior Sister, Liushang, so many people are ready to go, and the sword is on the string, so they have to be sent.
At this moment, where can she stop at will?
Pei Zhenwan thought about it, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Emperor Chen's face that was refreshed under the reflection of the red and yellow crown clothes. That every minute, every inch and every centimeter, the jade tree facing the wind, the posture of both civil and military cultivation, the face with a playful smile on the corner of the lips, that is indeed Feng Lan who once made her think that she has another good feeling, no, that is the emperor of Northern Chen, Chen Zhao.
Thinking about it here, the emperor and queen had already raised their glasses, and everyone present said Mid-Autumn Festival greetings to each other, and drank a round.
Liang Meiren put down the empty wine cup, and couldn't help but wonder, when she looked sideways, she saw Pei Zhenwan staring at the upper position in a daze, and she chuckled lightly in her heart, even if she wants to invite His Majesty to favor her today, she will not be so eager and unable to hold her breath, but it is not as steady as usual. Thinking like this, he also coughed softly.
Pei Zhenwan was startled when she heard the voice, and suddenly came back to her senses, and saw Liang Meiren holding an empty cup in her hand, so she hurriedly put it away, picked up a few wine jugs and respectfully poured the wine.
After one round of wine, the second round of wine is still Emperor Chen raising a glass, looking at the direction of the eldest princess of Enping on the left, Emperor Chen is filial piety, and the people in the palace are naturally very respectful.
Pei Zhenwan hurriedly looked at the eldest princess of Enping, looking at the age of about sixty, with the majesty of the heavenly family, but with a kind smile on her face, since she married the Feng family, the husband and wife have been harmonious, and the Feng family is also steadily improving, and it is very comfortable to think of her old age. Now that he is almost old, he can really be regarded as a long life. Now his face looks so young, but I don't know if it's really the credit of the jade alabaster.
The eldest princess of Enping is here, Emperor Chen is here, and the real Feng Lan wants to be in the Chen Palace at this moment.
Pei Zhenwan looked around, there were forbidden troops standing around her, and she didn't know Feng Lan's true appearance, so what did it matter if she was there or not?
Thinking like this, the second round of wine was over, the concubines sat back at the table, and Pei Zhenwan stepped forward to pour wine carefully for Liang Meiren.
At this point, the palace people of the Shangshi Bureau rushed in, holding all kinds of hot dishes for the night banquet, with exquisite patterns and special ingredients. When the palace people quietly withdrew, Empress Xu got up and looked at Emperor Chen, and the concubines hurriedly got up.
"Your Majesty, the third cup of wine, the concubines respect Your Majesty, may the country be prosperous and harmonious."
Emperor Chen was very chic, and drank the wine handed by the queen with a wave of his wide sleeves, and the concubines also drank it all, and the music and dancers of the Shangyi Bureau played and danced on the lower steps of the Liuhui Yingcai Pavilion, and the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was officially started.
Liang Meiren's own maid knows her food preferences, respectfully serves the cloth dishes, Pei Zhenwan serves the wine, and at this moment she is slightly free, even if she stares at Liang Meiren's seat, the movements around her are also listening carefully.
After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Chen was very relaxed, sandwiched a few pieces of jasper crab roe tofu, his eyes fell on the empty seat next to Concubine Wei, and asked Queen Xu sideways, "Zhaoyi's body is still not good?" ”
Empress Xu replied slowly: "Sister Zhaoyi is still the same these days, Siqin went to visit in the afternoon, although she was able to get up and walk a few steps, but the concubine thought that the night breeze was cool on the edge of the imperial lake, so she was exempted from coming to the courtesy." ”
"Well," Emperor Chen didn't seem to think too much, "Since that's the case, Xi'er can't come with her." Tomorrow I will go to see their mother and son. ”
"Your Majesty cherishes Zhaoyi's sister and the third prince, and the concubine thanked Your Majesty for Song Zhaoyi."
Emperor Chen nodded, and saw that Concubine Wei was surrounded by the eldest princess and the fourth prince, and Zhang Meiren was separated by a seat, but her expression was very concerned about that side, so he waved his hand: "Remove that seat, sit closer to each other, so that you can talk." ”
If so, it's another movement, but if you can get close to the emperor and queen a little more, who doesn't want to do it? Zhang Meiren was a little closer to the four princes, and even her smile bloomed even brighter.
"Your Majesty," Wei Guifei stood up, Ying Ying smiled, and the eldest princess on the side also stood up from afar, learning from Wei Guifei's appearance and holding the cup in her hand, "Concubine and concubine, Hui'er, I wish Your Majesty a happy Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
Emperor Chen gave enough face, drank the wine in one gulp, and beckoned to the eldest princess: "Sister-in-law, come here, has your father seen that you have grown taller?" ”
The little princess naturally ran over like sticky candy and rolled in Emperor Chen's arms, and the father and daughter were very intimate.
Empress Xu smiled on the side, and then looked at Concubine Liu Xian on the other side, the second princess Chen Yao was leaning on Concubine Liu Xian's arms, looking at the upper position, and Queen Xu also beckoned: "Yao'er also come somewhere." ”
At the age of Emperor Chen's establishment, except for the second prince who died early, he now has three sons and two daughters, which can be regarded as having children.
Concubine Liu Xian looked happy, even though there is only one daughter under her knees, but it is extremely rare to be valued by the emperor, this kind of feeling is triggered, and she couldn't help but turn her head and say to Liang Meiren beside her: "Sister, Your Majesty loves princesses very much, such a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, it is really a beautiful day." ”
Liang Meiren glanced at it lightly, squeezed a smile in response, and only cared about herself eating the plate of chrysanthemum crystal belly in front of her.
Wei Guifei saw it from a distance, took a sip of the wine in her hand, and joked at Concubine Liu Xian: "Concubine Xian has a princess herself, so if you don't go to talk to Liang Meiren, you can't complain that people don't want to deal with you." ”
"Where does this mean in this palace," Concubine Liu Xian was a little embarrassed, and looked at Liang Meidao sideways, "Sister, don't be mistaken." ”
In such a lively scene, Queen Xu's eyes were attracted, and she asked with a smile: "What are Concubine Xian and Liang Meimei talking about?" ”
This question, the eyes of everyone in the natural pavilion were cast, and it happened that the music on the lower steps was over, and the dancers left, which made Concubine Liu Xian a little embarrassed.
"Back to the queen's mother, the concubines just said that the singing and dancing of these six monks are very good-looking." Concubine Liu Xian smiled and replied decently.
But I didn't know that Liang Meiren next to her chuckled, Wei Guifei's eyes were sharp, and she said loudly with a smile: "Sister Liang has nothing to say for a while, she loves to laugh the most on weekdays, Concubine Xian can confirm that she didn't hear it, Liang Meiren is laughing with you about this song and dance." ”
This time, Emperor Chen's eyes also looked at this side, and Liang Meiren knew that something was wrong, so she got up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that Shangyi Bureau's chrysanthemum dance in the golden autumn is indeed the best." It's just that most of the dance music in the palace is so well-behaved, and after watching too much, it lacks some novelty, so it's a little boring. ”
