The days are getting hotter, Li Yan doesn't like to go out anymore, so Prince Witt is still there, so he held a summer banquet, which is naturally different from those held on weekdays, this banquet is mainly invited to the people from England.

When Prince Witte came to the Qing Dynasty, he naturally had to take those counts and ladies with him.

And those earls and ladies were naturally bored, and they also wanted to enter the palace to see what the emperor and queen of the Qing Kingdom looked like.

And so the summer feast began.

Early in the morning, the palace was busy.

"Niangniang, this is the first time we've seen this foreigner, and I don't know what it looks like, I heard that they are all tall horses, blonde and blue-eyed."

Li Yan glanced at her with a smile: "You are unproductive, don't you see it?" ”

Yuzhu smiled: "This is the light of the mother." ”

Li Yan smiled, he didn't speak, sure enough, no matter which dynasty people are curious about foreigners.

The summer banquet is a few days in a row, early in the morning, I began to prepare, the first day, naturally to show the power of my Qing Dynasty, so it was set in the imperial garden at the beginning.

Li Yan looked at the tables in the imperial garden, and unconsciously remembered the period of national martyrdom a hundred years later.

That is the era of the Chinese nation, if the national strength of the Qing Dynasty has always been like this, it should not be so miserable in the future, right?

Li Yan shook his head, it's okay, I don't want to.

"Yuzhu, you go to my library for a few more sets of jewelry, and let the little eunuchs and palace maids under you wear clean and tidy, and you can also find out all the clothes at the bottom of your box, and save it in the future."

Yuzhu blessed her body: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

And so I went.

Li Yan looked at those tables and thought in his heart: "Tu Ninghai, you go and get some porcelain to put on this table, put some flowers in it, go back and ask Yuzhu to go to the library to find some fragrance, remember to pick a brighter taste." ”

Tu Ninghai nodded, and this is going.

After a while, the garden was finally ready.

In front of the small pavilion built by the lake, in front of it is a slippery table, a rectangular kind of table, covered with a tablecloth, with a thin bowl inlaid with jade and gold, chopsticks made of ivory and gold, and in the middle there is a blue and white porcelain and enamel and other porcelain.

The flowers in it belong to flowers, and there are some small dried flowers, as for the taste, they are not the same, but they also smell good.

There is a long table on each side, and there are only two seats in the pavilion, which are naturally the fourth master and Li Yan's, and they also have a place below, but they don't sit there.

In front of it is a large opera garden, and the stages inside have been built.

The actors who are waiting to go on stage have already been prepared there.

As for those Western violins and pianos, Li Yan can't buy them, but no one will use them.

The counts came in one after another.

Wearing a gorgeous princess dress, which is inlaid with various gems and pearls, the embroidery style is also extremely exquisite, and many parts are borrowed from the Qing Dynasty.

Your lady came in with her husbands.

At a glance at this imperial garden, the psychodrama couldn't help but marvel.

"Oh dear, this garden is so beautiful, I love it so much."

"Honey, if you like, we can also grow some of our own at home."

"Oh, yes, but it seems like a lot of work to feed them, and I see that Countess Edgar often raises them, but often gives away their corpses."

"Indeed, their people here are indeed very wise, and we can ask Prince Witt to ask the king and queen how they were raised."

There are many more like this, such as marveling at the beauty of the porcelain and the fragrance of the flowers.

There are also people who like tea, after all, tea in England is a tea that can only be drunk by real nobles, and the tea they drink may not taste as good as the taverns in the Qing Dynasty.

So it was naturally amazing at this time.

As for the fourth master and Li Yan, they came out hand in hand in the end.

Although it is a period of filial piety, the fourth master is the emperor, and in places like this that always show the prestige of the Qing Dynasty, he naturally has to wear bright yellow clothes.

In order to cooperate with him, Li Yan also wore a bright yellow dress, embroidered with a dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern, this dragon and phoenix are auspicious, although only the queen can use it, but it is also the queen of the concubine, but now the step-queen is much stronger than the original queen in the emperor's heart.

Li Yan was wearing a bright yellow Shu brocade satin, with a large shelf on his head, a golden phoenix appealed out, and a string of red agate in his mouth.

also has a string of rubies on the first side, the whole person is jewelry, but not old-fashioned, but gorgeous and dignified.

Prince Witte had already seen the beauty of the queen mother, so he would naturally not be surprised anymore, but those counts and counts' ladies were different.

As for the counts, it's okay to say, after all, men, especially men with status and power, don't say things like this to their faces, they only say it in their hearts, especially when they can't afford to provoke the other party's men.

And the counts, don't have that concern.

You know, when women get together, it's either gossip, beauty, or costume jewelry, and nowadays, these counts can't gossip anything with Li Yan.

As for beauty, the West is different from the East, and there is nothing to communicate with.

Then the rest is costume jewelry.

Women all over the world love beauty, and these ladies are naturally no exception, so they chatted.

These ladies originally thought that Li Yan couldn't speak English, so they didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when the people in the Four Images Museum didn't translate their words, the queen lady understood, and these ladies put their hearts down.

It's good to understand it, it doesn't matter if you say it or not, after all, it represents the country, and you understand it yourself.

Li Yan didn't know what these ladies were thinking, but after eating the lunch at noon, which made these counts and noble ladies praise endlessly, Li Yan gave these ladies a set of skin care products.

This surprised these ladies, as for whether the effect is good or not, didn't I see that the queen mother said that she was also using it?

Look at the skin care of the queen mother, this must be easy to use.

At the summer banquet the next day, Li Yan and the fourth master changed their clothes again, the fourth master wore a silver dragon robe, and Li Yan wore a crescent white satin flag suit, which was embroidered with silver gold edges, and a lot of patterns were outlined with silver threads.

Today, everyone got together, chatted, drank tea, and the fourth master also sent a lot of things out, which made those English people want to do business with the Qing Dynasty even more.

However, the fourth master will not agree so quickly, there is an old saying that "the business that is in a hurry is not worth much".

Isn't that the case today?

The summer banquet was held very cheerfully, but the fourth master has been busy these days.

After all, it's really about doing business with England, and there are a lot of things to be busy with, and now there is still a war in Mongolia, and I don't know what happened to Hongpan.

But the fourth master's thoughts can't be told to Li Yan, what's the use of saying it, it's just to let her worry about it.

However, the fourth master is so tired, Li Yan guards him to sleep every day, how can he not find out, but he doesn't make a noise, after all, the fourth master doesn't want to let himself know, then there must be his reasons, anyway, he won't harm himself.

I have to admit that the couple sometimes thinks quite the same way.

Li Yan didn't say anything, and directly asked people to go to the Tai Hospital to wear some honeysuckle tea, and added some things to clear heat and detoxify, and the fourth master drank it, and he also felt that he was calmer.

Thinking about it, I know that this is the handiwork of a small thing, and the fourth master doesn't break it, so I suffer it, after all, after so many years of husband and wife, even the children have their own blessings, how can there be so much to thank, but this kindness is not spoken, it does not mean that I don't remember it, I don't say it.

So one of them was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer.

But Li Yan still feels sorry for the fourth master, but there is no way.

Fortunately, now that the fourth master is not busy, he can also find time to take a nap with Li Yan.

Yes, it's to take a nap, I don't know when it started, Li Yan has the habit of taking a nap, and he has to take the fourth master to sleep together.

The fourth master was very helpless at first, he had so many things to do, so he would accompany you to take a nap? There was not enough to accompany him at night, so the fourth master also specially showed Li Yan that he didn't need to take a nap.

Tossed Li Yan enough.

But two days later, Li Yan took the fourth master to take a nap together, and the fourth master was not busy at this time, so he reluctantly slept with her.

It's just that she was going to get up when she fell asleep and go to make the folds, but she fell asleep like this.

After waiting for the fourth master to wake up, he found that he was refreshed after taking a nap, and he was still efficient in doing things in the afternoon, so he slept with Li Yan when he had a little time at noon.

But it's true that there is no time in the past two days, but the results are also good, Daqing and England do business, or Daqing makes a lot of money, and Li Yan doesn't understand the specifics, but it is enough to know that Daqing has earned.

At this moment, Li Yan woke up and was pulling the fourth master to be coquettish: "Master, you are the best." ”

The fourth master glanced at her: "Say, what do you ask for?" ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Master, why is there something wrong with people." ”

The fourth master smiled and didn't speak.

Li Yan looked at the fourth master, so he said to the fourth master: "Master, people also want to eat something cold." ”

The fourth master didn't think about it, and rejected her directly.

Since Li Yan was sick once, the imperial doctor came to diagnose it, saying that Li Yan had eaten something bad in his stomach, and he had to take care of it well, and avoid raw and cold food.

This can torture Li Yan.

It's uncomfortable, this summer, not to mention wearing long sleeves, there is no ice drink, that cold salad, I really want to eat it.
