Chapter 110: Arrive at the banquet
This palace is really big, last time I only went to the Qinzheng Hall and the residence of the three princes, and I didn't have the opportunity to go elsewhere at all. Now there are eunuchs leading, following other people who come to the banquet, to go to the big front yard of Qinghua Pavilion outside the Yuanhua Palace, this twists and turns, there are many streets and alleys, which makes people feel really huge!
After turning a small alley, two gorgeously dressed young men happened to come over in the alley diagonally opposite, and the one in front of him looked to be about thirty years old! The figure is burly, and the facial features are quite upright, but there seems to be a lack of momentum on the body! The one next followed, about twenty years old, with a smile on his face, very quiet, and the two of them followed their personal guards!
Wen Ying looked left and right curiously.....
Coincidentally, when Wen Ying and the others walked through the gate, the two of them happened to just step out of the gate, and they met Wen Ying's curious gaze!
The eyes of the two men were so bright in an instant! Wen Ying thought she wanted to see what it was like inside this gate, but she didn't expect to meet the eyes of two strange men, and she was embarrassed and hurriedly dodged away.
When Miss Qin knew the courtesy, she hurriedly gave a very elegant salute to the two of them!
Wen Ying also hurriedly followed for a while, and hurriedly dragged Miss Qin forward...
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Miss Qin was a little dragged and asked embarrassedly.
"I'll be punished if I'm late, so let's hurry"
In fact, Wen Ying didn't want to be with others, she just wanted to remember her father's words: don't look at anyone, don't recruit anyone, don't mess with anyone. I've already had a fight with the guy surnamed Xu just now, so don't cause unnecessary trouble!
The two young men looked at their backs and smiled at each other, their eyes revealing chic and appreciation!
The minister who came behind the "two princes" saluted the two.
"Hello Lord Zheng!"
.....
"Wen Ying, did you hear that? Those two were princes just now~~" Miss Qin was a little nervous, squinting at Wen Ying as if she was surprised, and whispered while walking forward lightly.
"What's wrong with the prince?" Wen Ying replied indifferently without expression.
"Oh, you're stupid? What were you just running around? ”
"Or else?"
"Otherwise, it would be better to talk to the princes and go together."
"You, weren't you very obsessed with Li Zhong just now? Is this a fan again? ”
"Li Zhong is handsome! Whoever sees it will be fascinated, and the prince is different, they are powerful today except for His Majesty! ”
"Then you're a woman who only looks at power and doesn't look at people?"
"What's that? In today's world, what woman doesn't want to marry a beautiful family"
"Bai and you are friends, why didn't you find out that you were so powerful before?"
"That's because the older I get, the more I understand..."
"Alright, let's go.."
Wen Ying pulled Miss Qin and didn't take a few steps when a familiar voice came from behind:
"The eldest prince is an, the second prince is an"
"Hello Miss Xu, hello two young ladies"
....
"Hey, how does Miss Xu know the princes?" Miss Qin asked softly in a little puzzled.
"Her father is amazing! What about understanding? ”
"How? Do you really don't want to or don't you really know? ”
"What?"
"Alas! I can't tell you! Or is Miss Xu lucky!? "Miss Qin is a little complaining!
"What good luck!? Maybe it's bad luck! You wouldn't regret not being with her, would you? ”
"You..."
"Okay, let's go" Miss Qin was helplessly dragged forward by Wen Ying...
....。
At this time, the eldest prince looked at Wen Ying and Miss Qin, who had already walked a little far in front of him, and asked Miss Xu:
"Whose daughter is the woman in the light blue shirt in front?"
"She? It's the daughter of Wen Bocheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who speaks crazy and acts old-fashioned..."
"Oh, it's Wen Ying who cured the third prince?"
"It's her, a crazy girl who has been out there for a year and then ran back..."
"Miss Xu, did you have a holiday with Miss Wen?" The eldest prince looked at the arrogant daughter of Xu Shen a little blamedly.
"No, it's just that the little girl can't get used to the way she looks at no one! relied on curing the illness of the third prince, but no one paid attention to it! How dare you...."
"Miss Xu, I'll leave first, my second brother and I still have to make an appointment with the fourth brother, so we won't go together."
Before the eldest prince could finish speaking, he and the second prince hurriedly walked to the opposite side!
"Hey~~ The eldest prince, the eldest prince...", Miss Xu shouted a few times in a hurry, and the two princes walked away without looking back...
"Big brother, thanks to the fact that you didn't marry Xu Shen's daughter at the beginning, otherwise, this posture is afraid that you will bear it!"
"Hmph, I already knew her character! Therefore, even if he Xu Shen has a good relationship with his uncle, I will not marry his daughter! ”
"Big brother is clever! I can see the second brother today, compared with my sister-in-law, it is a big difference! ”
"Alas! Who knows what a hard time I am! Marry a wife who you like! It's not a matter of planning! Don't mention it, second brother, you and the Li family are fine."
"I feel the same way as my big brother!"
"Hahaha~~" The two princes said goodbye, and they laughed when they met!
"What does the second brother think of that one just now?"
"It's a bit good!"
"It's not just a little! It's different! ”
The second prince squinted at the eldest prince's face with a sense of happiness!
.....。
The royal banquet is really pompous! There is momentum! The six pairs of tall copper pillars on both sides of the venue are wrapped with red silk, and at the top of the copper pillars, sticking out of the copper rings on both sides, there are big red lanterns! Further inside the bronze pillar, on the one-person-high carved silver candlestick, there was already a candle with the thickness of an arm, which was mixed with spices and burned with fragrance.....
Behind the neat rows of wooden tables, there were already many ministers and their children! The courtyard was full of maidservants and eunuchs who were ready to be summoned at any time, and behind the golden table directly above and the table a little lower and shorter next to it, the most important His Majesty and the queen had not yet arrived, and the concubines and princesses on both sides had arrived a lot, almost all of them!
Everyone who came was talking happily with familiar people...
Wen Ying dragged Miss Qin to choose the two seats in the back row next to her and sat down.
"Are we too far out, so that we can't see Your Majesty and all the ladies clearly?" Miss Qin didn't seem to be very satisfied with the back and outside seats that Wen Ying chose.
"How good it is here, that is, quiet, it is convenient to go out, and we can leave a little earlier after the dinner is over"
"We can't come to such a big feast just to go out?" Miss Qin looked around and complained a little.
"Oh~~ I forgot, you want to see the princes, right? Or can you take a look at those handsome sons and daughters in the ministers' families? Wen Ying teased.
"Oh, no, isn't it a bit of a loss to let them all go to the front to take the limelight at such a side? Like Miss Xu just now, they must sit in the innermost place, which is closer to the royal dining table."
"You don't need to say anything more, I know what you're thinking, so let's go on your own, I like it here, I don't have any talent to show anyway, so as not to hinder the eyes of others at the end!"
"Look at the five of them in the middle of our row now, they shouldn't be able to occupy a seat, and you are not suitable for the last one here?"
"What's wrong with this, like the most important thing, you go, I'll sit here"
Miss Qin looked at Wen Ying's determined expression, and said a little helplessly:
"Then I'll take a few seats in a little bit, so that even if someone comes later, we won't be far away."
"Okay, let's go" Wen Ying looked around casually, thinking it was strange! Although I have watched a lot of court dramas and been to the Forbidden City, I still feel that there is a unique sense of majesty at this time! After all, it was the first time for me to participate in such a huge court banquet! Fortunately, I don't panic about how many people I meet, which may be a small advantage of myself!
Wen Ying was a little proud just now, but before the smile on the corner of her mouth expanded, she heard the very disgusted voice again:
"Yo~~ This is a bit self-aware! Know who you are and where you should be seated! ”
Xu Shan stood behind her, leaning on her arrogant head, and said with a little contempt.
"I said, why are your ears ringing? It turned out that there was a dog barking! Hehe, Miss Xu, please come forward! You have a high position, and you have a seat! See which tall branch is left for you! ”
"You, Wen Ying, don't think you..."
"What am I? Hey~~ Didn't you have a good chat with the princes just now? Why, the two princes don't want to come with you? ”
"You! You wait for me! See how you tell me when you see it..."
"Ying'er, why are you sitting here?" Li Zhong walked over and asked.
"Well, I like to sit here, what about my brother?"
"Wen Feng is over there..."
"May I ask if you are Li Zhong Li Guard?" A young lady with Xu Shan looked at Li Zhong's eyes straight!
"Exactly, may I ask this young lady, is there something wrong?" Li Zhong is still very polite.
"Oh, I'm the daughter of Qi Han, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, my name is Qi Mei, nineteen years old"
"Hello Miss Qi!"
"I'm Geng Shilang's daughter, Geng Ling, eighteen years old" The other smirked, staring straight at Li Zhong and introducing himself!
"A pair of are sick!" Wen Ying whispered.
"Look at you bears! It's disgusting, let's go! If we don't go to the front, we won't have a seat! This Xu Shan didn't know if he understood the affairs of Li Zhong's family, or if he was really worried about the two around him, so he dragged the two of them forward angrily!
"Li Zhong, can't you see that you really like girls! You've got a few obsessed eyes on this side when you stop here! ”
"Their minds are not on me, a little soldier! It's just a moment of curiosity, and I want to know which minister's son it is, just take a look! ”
"Oh, what do you think of yours as the majority?"
"It's none of my business, it's just that they didn't understand it"
"Actually, it's no wonder! Among these boys, you are the most eye-catching! ”
"But I just want to attract one person's eyes! It's a pity that I can't get it at this time! Li Zhong looked at Wen Ying affectionately, feeling sad.
"Okay, we've already talked, so let's stop dwelling on it! In case your friends can't do it, and don't let them misunderstand, you better go back and sit."
Wen Ying replied without raising her head.
Li Zhong sighed lightly:
"Okay, then you should pay more attention to yourself"
"Thank you! I would."
