Chapter 23 22.Wang Ba vs. Mung Beans
After a while, the eunuch shouted again in a sharp voice: "The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Everyone stood up and knelt down, bowing their heads and shouting: "Participate in the Queen Mother, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an!"
"No need to be polite, just get up." The Queen Mother sat above and said lightly.
On the side is the position of His Majesty the Emperor, which is still empty, according to the customs of previous years, although His Majesty basically does not care about anything, this kind of palace banquet will still come out and hang around.
Zhan Qing sat back in his position and glanced sideways, the Queen Mother was wearing a black embroidered gold silk palace dress today, with wide sleeves swaying to the ground, thin eyebrows and red lips, and a touch of flowers pasted on her forehead, all graceful and luxurious.
And the one who stood silently on the side was naturally Wei Jiang.
Not long after, His Majesty the Emperor came unhurriedly, kneeling down as usual, Zhan Qing only felt tired, thinking that these ministers really have good waists and legs, and they don't feel too sore to bow like this all day long.
In particular, some ministers are already sixty or seventy years old, and they bow down faster than anyone else, and that is called a Lisomali!
However, when he saw His Majesty's face today, Zhan Qing couldn't help but sigh - sure enough, the royal family is really the easiest place to produce handsome men and beautiful women, although His Majesty is nearly forty years old, he looks like he is in his early thirties at most, his face is feminine but not feminine, he is really a beautiful uncle!
At the beginning of the dinner, after the emperor opened his mouth to say hello to the five princes, he didn't say much, he mostly raised his glass and drank alone, and his frowning brows were a little gloomy.
Zhan Qing couldn't help but think that it was rumored that after the death of the empress, the emperor was in a slump, and his affection was touching, but he was the one in power, and this kind of affection was the most disdainful and cheap for the royal people!
After all, what they value most is interests, if the emperor ignores the affairs of the court irresponsibly because of a relationship, the world will end sooner or later.
This is also the reason why many courtiers support the queen mother to control the government, although the equality of men and women in South Vietnam is prosperous, but after all, it has only started in the past few hundred years, and many people are still very pedantic in their bones, thinking that it is inappropriate for women to have too much power.
However, the reality slapped her face, the Queen Mother controlled the government for five or six years, and the national strength was still prosperous; Even more beloved by the people than when the current emperor was in power.
"I hit Miss Zhan at first sight, and I hate to see each other late, can I invite Miss Zhan to have a drink, which can also be regarded as friendship, how about it?" At some point, the young man in the dark red robe walked to their table with a wine glass, hooked his lips and chuckled, and the wine glass moved forward.
"Coincidentally, I also know the five princes at first sight, can the five princes have a drink with someone from Zhan?"
Without waiting for Zhan Qing to speak, Zhan Yun on the side raised his eyes, raised his glass, and saw Ji Yinyue's stunned expression, so he drank the wine in his cup and put it on the table.
Raising her eyes and looking directly at Ji Yinyue's good-looking peach blossom eyes, Ji Yinyue was just stunned, but she didn't expect Zhan Yun to love her sister so much.
When he saw that he had finished drinking, he chuckled lightly and drank the wine in his cup as well.
"General Zhan is really as rumored, and he treats his sister as a daughter, and I am very envious."
After all, his brothers and brothers will only secretly stumble on him, and his sisters and sisters will only stumble on him, whoever makes him favored will be regarded as the pride of the sky in the palace.
"Thanks for the compliment!"
Zhan Yun didn't have too much expression on his face, but his expression was faint.
"Miss Zhan wants to have a drink with me?" He asked persistently.
Zhan Qing smiled, his hands propped up on the table, and a pair of amber eyes were full of innocence: "I'm sorry, I'm not in good health, I'm a little too strong to drink."
"Replace wine with tea, if you don't mind!" She said leisurely.
"Naturally, after all, who made me look at Miss Zhan like this!"
Ji Yinyue naturally didn't mind, he also knew that what Zhan Qing said was a fact that his health was not good, so he poured wine into the wine jug on the table at random, and drank with Zhan Qing after clinking glasses.
However, when Zhan Qing was drinking tea, Yu Guang looked at the good-looking young man in front of him, and thought that if this person was not so arrogant, he might be more pleasing to the eye.
What's more, what does this person say about the right eye, even if he is the eighth king, but she is not here for mung beans, how can she come for the right eye?
It's just a rhetoric.
