Chapter 295: Banquet Turmoil
Chapter 295: Banquet Turmoil
At this time, Queen Wu was walking beside the king with a gloomy face, but all the thoughts of King Yan were on Mrs. Min on the other side, and even hugged Mrs. Min's waist.
And the legendary Mrs. Min, Yan Shisan's biological mother, Li Yue finally got a glimpse of her demeanor today, only to see that Mrs. Min was a little bird and let King Yan hold her like a person, with a very warm smile on her face, not a look that captivated the country and the city, and that appearance was not even as charming as Queen Wu on the side, but it was such a look, which made people look very comfortable.
Of course, it was not only the two women around him who followed King Yan in, but also two richly dressed women behind him, who should be the other two wives of King Yan.
In this harem of King Yan, Li Yue had already heard Li Yun tell herself, she was originally a queen, a fourth lady, and there were any concubines and women in the back, but they were not qualified to participate in this kind of palace banquet.
It turned out that this Queen Wu was only a lady, and later Queen Qi was given to die, and King Yan was forced by the situation at the time to crown the Queen of Wu, and there were only three people left in the wife.
King Yan took the queen and the three ladies to the empty first place in front of him, and then raised his hand to the crowd, "All Aiqing are flat." ”
Li Yue was also pulled up by Li Yun and sat down in their place, and after everyone sat down, it was followed by King Yan's generous speech and encouragement to the ministers below.
Just when Li Yue was a little drowsy when she listened, a song and dance performance began in the middle hall, Li Yue leaned towards Li Yun and whispered, "Can I take the crown on my head?" Neck pain. ”
Li Yun looked at the first place, and then saw Li Yue looking at him with a look of grievance, so he reached out and took off the crown on Li Yue's head.
Li Yue heard the music of this era for the first time, and saw the dance of this era for the first time, but she watched it with interest, and from time to time she observed whether there were any good-looking beauties among the dancing women, and from time to time she judged in her heart how these songs and dances compared to what she knew, and from time to time she glanced at the first place, watching King Yan and her favorite concubine Mrs. Min unscrupulously show affection, and then the queen unscrupulously shook her eyes at Mrs. Min on the side, but it was not too boring.
However, the song and dance did not last long, and then withdrew, and the courtiers began to toast the first Yan Wang, saying auspicious words for the New Year, after a round of wine was drunk, the banquet seemed to be released, not as restrained as when the Yan King came at the beginning, and the mutual toast with good relations was very lively.
Li Yue sat next to Li Yue with a look of lack of interest, holding her head and looking east and west, slandering in her heart, she was still waiting to watch a live version of the palace fight scene, but what about the beautiful palace fight? What about the intrigue that is said to be good? What the hell is this atmosphere of staggered and happy music?
Just when Li Yue was about to doze off with her head propped up, Queen Wu, who didn't want to sit in the first place and didn't speak, suddenly opened her mouth, "Why is the newly sealed county lord of Chang'an not in his position?" ”
The hall was silent in an instant, Li Yue looked at the position pointed by Queen Wu, there was an empty seat in the first place where the princess was, Li Yue was guilty in her heart, wasn't it? Shouldn't she be sitting with her husband Li Yun? Anyway, she is also the wife of the general of Zhenbei, is she still arranging a position for herself, the county lord of Chang'an? This beauty also informed her?
As soon as Queen Wu finished speaking, the voice of the third prince sounded, "Queen Mother, how could the county lord of Chang'an not be there?" I'm sitting next to General Lee. ”
The corners of Li Yue's eyes twitched slightly, she came to see the play, not to accompany them to act, why did she involve herself?
At this time, Queen Wu's eyes had accurately turned to Li Yue's location, observing Li Yue, who was meticulous, at this time, I was sure that Queen Wu was deliberately looking for fault.
With so many positions and so many people sitting in the hall, Li Yue didn't think that Queen Wu could remember the location of each minister, and at this time, Queen Wu looked at Li Yue's eyes, but she didn't deviate a little and shot directly at her side, Li Yue was sure that Queen Wu had already remembered Li Yun's location, and a queen deliberately remembered the position of a minister who had nothing to do with herself, and it was impossible to say that she had nothing to do.
So this can only show that everything was designed by Queen Wu, and Queen Wu is the head of the women in this harem, maybe this position is arranged by her.
Li Yue was still thinking nonsense in her mind, so she listened to the first Queen Wu and said coldly, "The county lord of Chang'an really doesn't take this palace banquet in his eyes?" You can find a place to sit on your own. ”
Li Yue was thinking about how to exonerate herself, and Mrs. Min, who didn't want to sit next to King Yan, suddenly said gently, "The queen's words are still a little inappropriate, after all, General Li is the husband of the county lord of Chang'an, and it is not rude for the county lord of Chang'an to sit next to General Li as a family member." ”
Queen Wu smiled coldly, "Then it's not rude for her to look so disheveled?" Such a look is really insulting to the title of county lord. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the county lord of Chang'an is really out of place, and he can't be worthy of the title of county lord." This is Li Yun's so-called aunt, Zhou Yanran's grandmother.
Mrs. Min followed everyone's gaze to Li Yue's side, and when she saw Li Yue's appearance, she was also slightly stunned and stopped talking.
However, the eldest prince sitting in the first place under King Yan suddenly spoke, looking gentle and elegant, "The queen mother's words are a little inappropriate, how did the title of the county lord of Chang'an come to be obtained, I believe that there is no need to say more about the ministers, and at the same time, the county lord of Chang'an was born in the countryside, and it is understandable that he does not understand the etiquette in the palace, how can it be because of this, the queen mother still wants to take off the title of the county lord of Chang'an?" ”
As soon as the eldest prince's words were finished, the four princes also spoke, "The eldest brother is very familiar with the county lord of Chang'an by maintaining the county lord of Chang'an like this?" Why did His Royal Highness only hear that the county lord of Chang'an had visited the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the ninth and thirteenth brothers, but he had never visited the eldest brother? ”
The eldest prince still smiled gently, "How can the fourth brother say this?" The eldest brother is just talking about things, but I think the third brother and the fourth brother seem to be a little dissatisfied with the county lord of Chang'an? Is it because the county lord of Chang'an didn't visit the third and fourth brothers? ”
The third prince sneered, "The identity of a county lord is only, will His Highness be more serious because of such a trivial matter?" It's the big brother, this suddenly came out, is there any unsightly purpose? Ah, His Royal Highness almost forgot that the eldest brother used to seem to be very close to the people of Zhou Yuan's Mansion, it stands to reason that this Chang'an county lord should visit the eldest brother first, and the eldest brother is very disappointed now, right? ”
The expression on the eldest prince's face was a little untenable, and he said coldly, "It's better for the third brother to pay attention to what he says, and don't speculate and say anything that shouldn't be said." ”
The first Queen Wu interjected, "What the palace said about the untidy clothes of the county lord of Chang'an, and several highnesses are talking too far. ”
"Shut up for me, Lord Chang'an, why don't you speak?" King Yan finally opened his mouth to stop the noise of several people, and instead opened his mouth to ask Li Yue, who was sitting next to Li Yun.
At this time, all eyes shifted to Li Yue's body, and everyone didn't see the expression they should see from Li Yue, but saw Li Yue's excited expression, listened to King Yan's question, and said, "Your Majesty, I ...... it."
"Ahem." Li Yun suddenly coughed, and Li Yue hurriedly changed his words.
"The minister thinks they (she) are arguing very interestingly, and he can't bear to disturb them." There was a slight dissatisfaction in that tone, as if he was complaining that King Yan shouldn't disturb her interest and interrupt their noise.
People who have nothing to do with this matter, listening to Li Yue's words, are trying to hold back their laughter, but the people who just participated in the quarrel are so angry that they can't get up in one breath, and they (they) have been arguing here for a long time.
At this time, King Yan also wanted to laugh, but he had to maintain his majestic image, he had to hold back, cough a few times to hide her urge to laugh.
After trying to stabilize his emotions, he said to Li Yue pretending to be majestic, "Lord Chang'an, why don't you hurry up and tidy up your appearance?" ”
casually said coldly to Queen Wu on the side, "The queen is too lenient, the county lord who is widowed and pro-few, is that because of the county lord's great military exploits, the queen is not dressed properly, and she plans to remove the county lord who is not in good shape?" Is it that if the widow does something in the future, he must first ask the queen? ”
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Queen Wu's eyes, but she had to stand up from her position and kneel in front of King Yan to plead guilty, "The concubine is panicked, she just wants to remind Chang'an County to pay attention to her appearance, she has no intention of doing so, please let the king know it." ”
King Yan said coldly, "Get up, today is a happy day, don't take out everything and say it, so as not to block everyone and sweep everyone's Yaxing." ”
"No." Queen Wu got up and sat in her place, but her eyes became even more gloomy at this time, especially the gaze of Queen Wu that Li Yue felt, and she couldn't wait to poke her into a few holes.
At this time, Li Yue was too lazy to take care of Queen Nawu, but reluctantly Li Yun still sorted out the crown on her head, and whispered in her mouth, "It's really annoying, I have to wear such a heavy thing." ”
Li Yun knew that Li Yue was talking about Queen Wu, so he said helplessly and comforted, "Bear with me, the king should leave the table after a while, and the queen will leave at that time." ”
"Shall we leave then?" Li Yue looked at Li Yun expectantly, since the king and the king's women are gone, there is no excitement to see, and it is not interesting to stay here, and it is still cold here, it is still comfortable to nest in the house in Li Yun's small courtyard.
Li Yun shook his head, "We can only leave when we are young." ”
Li Yue pouted, "Isn't it?" ”
Li Yun tidied up Li Yue's crown and said, "Do a good job, so as not to be found fault again." Li Yue had to sit obediently beside Li Yun and began to eat the dim sum and dried fruits in front of her to pass the time.
Li Yun expected it was right, not long after, King Yan greeted the ministers, and then pulled Mrs. Min to get up and leave, since the king had left, the queen and the other two ladies also left with King Yan.
As soon as the first few people left, the people below seemed to have let go, and they were not restrained, Yan Shisan simply came to Li Yue's table, and then Su Ruotian also came here, because of Yan Shisan's relationship, the Su family did not stop it.
The first thing Su Ruotian said when she saw Li Yue was, "Sister Yue, your courage is too big." ”
Li Yue said very innocently, "This has nothing to do with my courage, there are so many people in this hall, who knew that the queen would be able to find my stubble?" And she must find my fault, and I can't stop it. ”
Su Ruotian nodded thoughtfully, "That's the same." ”
As soon as King Yan left, the ministers in this hall couldn't leave for the time being, so they all began to move around the table, those who had a good relationship, wanted to flatter, and a little bit of alcohol, they all began to act without scruples.
Yan Jiu, who was still a little afraid not to get too close to Li Yue and them, was directly picked up and talked about by the eldest prince and the third prince and the fourth prince in this hall, Yan Jiu also had no scruples, and came directly to Li Yue's table, and then Zhou Huaijin on the opposite side also came over, and several people gathered together to talk.
Li Yue looked at Zhou Huaijin, who was sitting at the table like no one else, and asked, "Is the injury healed?" I can all come out to the banquet. ”
Zhou Huaijin said helplessly, "I was pulled by my father." ”
Yan Shisan gloated unceremoniously on the side, "Did you take the opportunity to see if there was a desirable girl?" ”
Zhou Huaijin sneered back unceremoniously, his eyes shuttled between Thirteen and Su Ruotian, "It's not as good as you, and it doesn't take a little effort to get the beauty back." ”
Yan Shisan was about to open his mouth to refute, but he chased him to the border of Yanxi, and chased him back at such a great risk, but he was pinched by Su Ruotian next to him, and stopped the words he was about to exit in time, but Su Ruotian blushed slightly.
In fact, Su Ruotian didn't know what Yan Shisan really wanted to say, but she was worried that Yan Shisan would still hurt her if she said the same as before, which made her feel embarrassed, so she pinched Yan Shisan hard.
Looking at the small movements of the two, Zhou Huaijin was a little reluctant, and continued to laugh and say, "Yo, this is starting to show affection in public?" ”
Several people were laughing, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and they didn't want to suddenly appear two people to ruin the atmosphere, but these two people were the eldest prince who had inexplicably stood out for Li Yue and his eldest prince Zhou Yanxue.
"Seeing that you guys are so lively here, what are you talking about?" The eldest prince still had the same gentle face, and said to everyone at Li Yun's table with a gentle expression on his face.
