Chapter Twenty-Three: The Banquet

After more than a month of being organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the grand banquet began. The emperor and empress sat at the top, with the second brother on the right and me on the left. The ministers on either side stretched for miles. A group of embarrassed women are dancing an unknown dance.

In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that I am a very favored princess, I look at the dishes on the table, I know that the imperial dining room must have spent a lot of thought, such a battle, this also means that an important person will be welcomed today - Chu Yu.

It's just that the flower-like beauty danced wave after wave. The tea on the table was changed one after another. The son of Chu State also did not come.

I stared at a delicate dish in front of me and swallowed my saliva, although before I came, my mother specially let me eat some snacks and cushion my stomach, so that I could not lose the princess's dignity in front of outsiders. It's just that this time passes moment by moment, and the aroma of this side dish becomes more and more tangy.

Just when I thought I was dizzy from hunger, and I heard that the people below were also a little restless, I tried to control the urge to eat everything on the table with my chopsticks. I looked up at my second brother sitting across from me, and he seemed to notice my gaze and gave me a warm smile. I pouted at him, and I wanted to tell him "I'm hungry, is he hungry?" ”

He didn't understand my words, but just looked up and motioned for me to look at the emperor and queen.

I looked up and saw that there was not a trace of anger on the faces of the queen and the emperor, as if they had just sat there. So I tried to sit down again and make myself look like a princess.

After a long while, I think all the food I saw was starting to jump around on the table. I shook my head vigorously and looked up at my second brother, who was starting to look a little tired on his face.

I heard a foreign guard from below report that "Meet Yin Guojun, my son-in-law, the road has been bumpy, and his body is really unbearable, and he has been resting outside the palace." Send me to report it."

"It's because I'm not thinking about it, since the son is resting, it's not too late to eat this banquet on the other day." The emperor was majestic, neither flattering nor angry.

"Xie Guojun Haihan!" The guard bowed and withdrew.

I thought I was finally able to eat big and eat when I quit.

Seeing that the guard was walking away, it began to be noisy below. Some people even began to make suggestions to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, that kid from Chu Yu clearly didn't take us seriously!"

"Yes! The emperor" was a voice of pandering below.

The Emperor frowned.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, the ministers spoke even harder. "Your Majesty, this stinky hairy boy, since he doesn't take us seriously, he will frustrate his prestige tomorrow!"

"That's it, that's it, this kid is too arrogant."

"Hmm!" I whispered, secretly hid a piece of pastry close to me into my sleeve, and then gently covered my mouth and nose with my sleeve, and quietly put the pastry in my mouth under the pretense of coughing. Well, it's delicious.

The emperor, who had been waiting for so long, did not see the color of warmth, but was made by the noise of these ministers, and his face showed a look of boredom. But it is true that these ministers are indeed a bit brainless, their country's financial, material, and manpower resources are not up to the Chu State, not to mention, they don't even think about a strategy, and they are not satisfied with all kinds of things. Sure enough, it makes sense for them to be courtiers.

After the queen found out that the emperor was in a wrong mood, before the emperor lost his temper, she immediately came out to play a round, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's really not early today." Everyone, go back and rest early! in order to better contribute to the country. ”

After listening to the queen's words, everyone naturally didn't say anything, and the emperor's face began to soften.

I'm afraid I was the only one who was stunned and entangled at that time. Well? Don't you finish eating before leaving? These pastries must have taken a lot of manpower and material resources! I looked at the people who were evacuating, and I thought about whether I should take a plate and put it in my sleeve, I guess I can't see it! After all, everyone is so busy. As soon as my little hands approached the pastry I was longing for, my feet were in the air and my mouth was covered. Sure enough, everyone was busy. It was not found that a very favored princess had been taken captive.
