"Oh? Cousin exaggerated, right? ”

Li Mingzu bent down, wanting to talk to Nuoya, but someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was Baili Jiu.

"Master Li, your own mansion is so lively, why do you want to come to my crooked neck trees to hang out?"

Li Mingzu and Baili Jiu are like-minded gentlemen, and in private, they still walk their dogs together to visit the Qinglou, and they have played a few times, and they usually make some jokes about meat and vegetarian food. Therefore, when I heard Baili Jiu joke, I didn't think so, and laughed: "I usually play together, but I haven't seen you so stingy, why do I say a few words to my cousins, and you rush over to catch me?" ”

Baili Jiu hooked shoulders with him: "Everyone stirs the dishes in the pot together, and the meat in the bowl is still stared at by others, and no one is comfortable." Who doesn't know that in the capital, you kid likes to pick apricots on other people's walls, who don't watch out for you? ”

The two laughed together, and Anping actually followed him again, standing behind Baili Jiu: "Brother Jiu, is this your friend?" ”

Li Mingzu has a unique taste and has always liked young chicks, and when he heard An Ping speak in such a tender voice, he immediately diverted his attention, and looked up and down greedily, his eyes full of light.

"Brother Baili, you are getting more and more capable! Who is this daughter? The tone was frivolous and obviously ill-intentioned.

An Ping was also sensitively aware of his impropriety, and shrank behind Baili Jiu, a little afraid.

"Cousin, this is the county lord of Anping from the Marquis of Zhenyuan."

Baili Jiu was trying to find a topic to bypass, but Qin Bao'er had already answered first.

"It turned out to be Anping, I couldn't recognize it for a while, we often played together when we were young, and we can be regarded as childhood sweethearts."

Another childhood sweetheart, Nuoya smiled secretly in her heart, casting nets everywhere, focusing on fishing, it seems that the "popularity" of the county lord of Anping is good, and it is very important to lay a good foundation.

Anping was frightened by his covetous look, where did he dare to talk to him?

The ministers beside him got up one after another, and the eunuch outside the door sang in a long voice: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Where did a few people dare to talk and laugh, hurriedly returned to their seats, prostrate on the ground, and shouted "Long live" in unison.

Noah jumped into his throat and lowered his heart halfway, and secretly thought to himself, how to think of a way for a while, and it was only right to change her appearance. Otherwise, once the stuffing is revealed, it is not a joke. She was depressed, and Baili Jiu on the side was pulling her clothes, and she came to her senses, only to find that everyone had all straightened up, and only she was still kneeling in place.

"Afraid of what? The more weak the heart, the more suspicious it is. Baili Jiu whispered in her ear, avoiding Qin's darling.

Noya thought about it, and sat here by himself, presumably Li Mingzu had already seen it clearly, and now it was too late to cover it up, but he wanted to cover it up and arouse his suspicion. simply calmed down and looked nonchalant.

The emperor sat in the middle of a bunch of flowery concubines, raised his hand and said loudly: "You Aiqing don't have to be formal, all of you can sit." ”

When Noah heard this, he felt familiar, and unconsciously raised his head, and saw that on the main dragon chair, sitting upright, who was not the distinguished guest in the Fenglin Temple that day?

Although there was a little doubt in his heart that day, now that he saw it with his own eyes, especially the bright yellow dragon robe was too dazzling, and added a bit of non-angry and self-righteous momentum, Noah still felt incredulous.

Baili Jiu saw her stunned and fested in place, and had to tug her clothes again: "Are you stupid? ”

Noah sat down with a "poof" and whispered, "How can it really be him?" ”

Baili Jiu seemed to have known for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Did you make a big fuss in front of him that day?" ”

Noya thought about it, as if there was not much sin except for being unceremoniously, and his own sycophants were also good later, so he shook his head and said, "It's just arguing the Dharma." ”

"Debate the Buddha? I think you are strong words and angry with the emperor, right? That's why I specially asked you to come with me today. Watch out for your precious head. ”

An Ruoxi, who was on the side, "coughed" softly, signaling the two to silence, and the emperor was already raising his glass to speak. All the ministers listened intently, who would dare to bow their heads and whisper like the two of them?

The emperor's wine glass was raised, his eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and his tone was subdued and sonorous: "God bless Dachu, the wind and rain are smooth, and the country and the people are safe." In the past year, thanks to all of you Aiqing's hard work and conscientious work, we will govern our Dachu to make the country rich and the people strong, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. There are also tens of thousands of soldiers who are bloody on the battlefield, sacrificing their lives and forgetting death, in order to ensure that our Great Chu dominates the Quartet. Today, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, on behalf of the people of Dachu, I would like to thank all of you Aiqing for your hard work and hard work. You and I will drink the wine in the cup together, drink happily tonight, and you will not return home if you are not drunk! ”

After that, he drank all the wine in the cup, and he was proud.

All the ministers unanimously praised each other: "Da Chu has a wise holy lord, Da Chu is very lucky, and the people are very lucky." Long live Emperor Xie Wu, long live, long live! ”

After that, he raised his glass and drank it all, thanked the emperor for the wine, the ministers sat down, the sound of silk and bamboo rose, and the good dancers with colorful feathers stepped on the festival and danced in the central position. For a time, the monarchs and ministers were happy, and they were staggered.

Although it is a hearty drink, after all, it is a royal banquet, and everyone is quite restrained, just sitting in the banquet and toasting with colleagues around them.

Nuoya listened to Baili Jiu's words, and didn't take Li Mingzu to heart, he should eat, drink, and be at ease.

The toast began, the first to step forward, naturally the prince led by the prince, then the princess and the concubine, followed by the prince of the prince, civil and military officials, according to the level of the position, the same, come forward to bow down, toast, drink it all, and then listen to a few words of instructions from the emperor, retreat, this is the traditional rule.

Baili Jiu is the emperor's righteous son, and he is also among the princes. Because he did not marry a wife, he did not bring his family, stepped forward alone, stood in the last row, knelt down respectfully, and toasted the emperor in unison.

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood today, and he drank all the wine in the cup, and brought out the reward prepared in advance to the palace people and gave it to the crown princess and the third princess. smiled and said to Chu Qingchen: "I hope that next year and today, there will be your share of the reward!" ”

This is urging Chu Qingchen to get married as soon as possible.

Chu Qingchen may have changed into a snow-white robe today because of the Chinese New Year's Eve royal banquet, wearing a dark green brocade suit, and embroidering a cluster of bamboo cultivation on the front, reflecting him as tall and elegant as Tingting Cuizhu.

He was a little ashamed of the emperor's urging, and said respectfully: "The father is tired, and the child is afraid." ”

I didn't say a word, and I don't know what I was thinking.

Before the ministers, the emperor didn't want to discuss family affairs too much, and turned to Bailijiu: "Why are you alone?" What about Mrs. Lin? ”

The hearts of the people below were churning one by one, the emperor's voice Mrs. Lin, there are words in the words, the mystery is too deep.

First of all, in this hundred miles of nine weddings, two side ladies and one concubine, the emperor does not ask the two noble side wives, but only mentions the concubines who came out of the green building, what is the purpose? Mo said that since the founding of the Great Chu, there has never been such a precedent even before.

Second, this Lin Nuoya is just a concubine, at best, calling an aunt is enough to lift her up, how can the emperor call her Mrs. Lin?

There must be a doorway among them! Those who are good at figuring out the divine will have keenly identified the direction of the wind.

Baili Jiu grinned: "Somehow, as soon as she saw the emperor, she was scared of the six gods, saying that the head on her neck was afraid that she was going to move, and she was cramping in her leg and stomach with her neck shrinking." ”

The emperor smiled heartily: "When I saw her that day, her mouth was like a river, and her tongue was like a lotus, but she was not a timid and cowardly character. I'm afraid you're scaring her, aren't you? ”

This time, don't talk about the ministers, even the prince and a few people are also stunned, when has the emperor seen Lin Nuoya?

"I can't hide anything from the emperor." Baili Jiu smiled embarrassedly, turned around and beckoned to Noya in the banquet: "Why don't you hurry up and kowtow to beg for a reward!" ”

The hundred birds sitting upright next to the emperor smiled at the woman in Fenghuafu: "This monkey has always climbed up the pole, this is to reward you." ”

Lin Nuoya stood up in fear, walked to the front, and bowed to the emperor and the graceful woman: "Long live the emperor, long live the queen, long live the queen." ”

"Let's get flat!" The emperor said with a pleasant face, a little more peaceful than that day in the Fenglin Temple, as if gossiping: "The pastry you brought today, I and the queen have just tasted it, and the craftsmanship is really good." ”

Noya lowered her eyebrows and said humbly: "The emperor has won the award, a little coarse food, it is difficult to be elegant, it is the filial piety of the ten princesses who is touching, and the emperor and the queen feel that it is just heartfelt." ”

The queen "hehe" smiled dryly: "I heard that you have the most powerful clever mouth, sharp teeth, when I saw it today, sure enough, it will be tricky." ”

The queen seems to be complimentary, but in fact, there is a hint of ridicule in her words, and it seems that she has a preconceived prejudice against Noah.

Baili Jiu on the side is the most protective of his shortcomings, it can be seen that Noya is ridiculed like this, even if she is the queen, she has to get back two points of justice. Therefore, the hippie smiled and said: "The queen must not praise her like this, she has always had a poisonous tongue and never knows how to be obedient, but these two sentences I wrote on paper and let her memorize them all night before I could barely remember them." ”

"This will coax girls, Xiao Jiu's temperament has not changed at all. I remember that when he was a child, he was just five or six years old, and when he participated in the palace banquet, he said that his mouth was sweet and delicious, and he tricked a group of female babies to taste his mouth in turn, and some people quarreled over the dispute. If it weren't for Xiao Xin'er seeing him always secretly wiping his mouth with a handkerchief dipped in osmanthus nectar and exposing him, I don't know how many little girls are thinking about eating their mouths every day? ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

If such a joke is mentioned at the family banquet, everyone will feel warm and funny, but today is the emperor's banquet for civil and military officials, but it is a little inappropriate, and it will lose the queen's prestige.

Noya saw that the emperor's face had sunk a little, and coughed lightly.

No wonder the emperor doesn't want to see the queen, even if she has any opinions about Baili Jiu and herself, in this hall, in front of everyone's eyes, she should be kind and take care of everyone's face, right?
