Chapter 148:-for-tat
"Ahem." Jiang Xinyu coughed a little embarrassedly and then looked away, looking into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Yun Yiqing saw Jiang Xinyu's appearance, she didn't press step by step, but the corners of her lips hooked slightly, smiled, picked up the tea at hand, took a sip, and sat quietly waiting for the start of the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Although Yun Yiqing lowered his head, so that others could not see where his sight was, he knew that he had been aroused by the woman in front of him.
For some reason, there is always a mysterious feeling on the body of this so-called "Snow Concubine", maybe it is the kind of momentum that is hidden by Jiang Xinyu very deep but still powerful, or maybe it is her plain and gentle attitude towards people, everything makes Yun Yiqing deeply confused. Such a country also has talents.
"Huh......" Yun Yiqing sighed, what's wrong with herself? This time, I got an order, but I can't think about anything else.
Lowering his head again, the pair of evil peach blossom eyes looked at the cup of tea in front of him, the clear but fragrant smell, accompanied by the faint white mist rising, surrounded Yun Yiqing and his whole person in this plain and warm atmosphere.
Jiang Xinyu, who was sitting opposite, didn't see all this, just closed her eyes gently, her long and curly eyelashes cast a dark shadow on her face, but it set off her fairer skin, and with the clothes she was wearing today, it was incredibly beautiful.
Both of them lowered their heads, thinking like two statues, and raised their eyes again, but they met each other's gaze at the same time.
looked at each other faintly and smiled, maybe it was just for this inexplicable fate.
Jiang Xinyu and Yun Yiqing didn't know that their actions had all been seen by Nangong Tian, who was sitting on the throne.
Nangong Tian didn't say anything, and when he faced Jiang Xinyu's inquiring eyes, he just smiled dotingly, nodded, and signaled that Jiang Xinyu could start.
When the people below saw Nangong Tian's eyes, they were not surprised by Jiang Xinyu's favor.
The moment he lowered his head, no one noticed the trace of haze that flashed under Nangong Tian's eyes......
Jiang Xinyu understood, patted his hand gently, and the little eunuch who had been standing aside all this time saw it, so he hurriedly ran out to pass the word.
With a crisp sound, the palace maids outside the door began to stream in with melodious tunes, and in their hands were a uniform Liyue gold-encrusted plate, in which all kinds of exquisite pastries were placed, not only beautiful, but also royal things, which naturally tasted good.
The maids slowly set up their plates on the tables on both sides, and the dancers also came in through the middle of the gate, and the graceful dancing made everyone feel relaxed and happy, and they couldn't help but look at it twice.
The dancers have seen the results of long-term training at a glance, and everyone's dancing posture is almost not too flawed, and even exactly the same, if it is not for the hard work here, it will definitely not achieve such a result.
Jiang Xinyu nodded with satisfaction, what she wanted was such an effect, and she couldn't help but show a satisfied look on her face.
Such an expression fell in Nangong Tian's eyes, and the man's face couldn't help but be stunned.
Really...... It's been a long time since I've seen her look like this......
Is this the only thing that can make her feel happy and happy? What about the rest?
Nangong Tian lowered his head a little stunned, and he couldn't see what Shang's expression was. When he looked up again after a while, he had already regained his grim expression.
"This is osmanthus jade bamboo cake."
"It's calla flower cake."
"It's a gilded rose cake."
……
Looking at the more and more plates of exquisite pastries on the table, Yun Yiqing smiled disapprerovingly, he thought that the Hundred Flowers Banquet was such a rare banquet, but in fact it was just a tasting, eating, and appreciating the flowers.
"Heh," the bone fan in Yun Yiqing's hand "boom-" put it away, and continued: "It seems to be ...... The Hundred Flowers Banquet is nothing more than that......"
"Yun Gongzi, you can't talk so much, everything can only be known after you have tried." Jiang Xinyu was not annoyed, but just smiled faintly.
Looking at the man in front of him, Jiang Xinyu responded slowly: "Yun Gongzi is the first time to participate in our Hundred Flowers Banquet, naturally I don't know, the reason why this banquet is called 'Hundred Flowers Banquet' is naturally composed of hundreds of flowers, but if it is just an ordinary and ordinary collection of a hundred kinds of flowers, and then let everyone come to enjoy the flowers and drink, it will definitely not be called a state banquet, and it will naturally not be so famous that Yun Gongzi You also know......
Speaking of this, Jiang Xinyu deliberately sold a pass, his tone was stunned, and the words changed: "Let's let the chef of our imperial dining room explain it to you, the concubine is just a layman." ”
When the big man who had been standing aside heard this, he walked out happily, but he was also a character who had seen a big scene, and he had no stage fright, so he said directly: "This Hundred Flowers Banquet We made hundreds of flowers into different pastries, and fused materials and traditional Chinese medicine with different curative effects to make this 'Hundred Flowers Banquet'." Oh, by the way, and one more thing, every pastry at this Hundred Flowers Banquet is either designed or plated by the hands of the Snow Princess. Yun Gongzi, don't you think it's surprising until now? ”
"It's just a little trick to carve insects." Yun Yiqing's evil peach blossom eyes picked it out, and said six words that were extremely shocking.
Many of the ministers sitting at the bottom were already angry, and a white-haired old minister said, he had already stood up, pointed his finger at Yun Yiqing, and said in a trembling tone: "You are just the son of a rough and reckless puppet in our neighboring country, why do you look down on our mother's Hundred Flowers Banquet?" ”
"Reckless?" Yun Yiqing repeated the word lightly, although his tone was not heavy, everyone present could hear that he was implying that anger.
Jiang Xinyu saw that the situation was not right at this time, and immediately came out to play a round, and said: "Okay, okay, everyone don't talk about it anymore, it's useless to say too much, what's more, everyone came to the Hundred Flowers Banquet today just to have a happy time, why bother holding on to such a thing here?" ”
Jiang Xinyu said this very well, that is, no matter how entangled the old minister is, there is naturally a reason to drag him down, and today it can also show the prestige of the country, and also show Jiang Xinyu's own prestige.
What if it's Yun Yiqing on the other side?
Deliberately disrupting the order of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, or finding a random reason, but it doesn't matter......
Jiang Xinyu narrowed his eyes slightly, hooked his lips, and smiled evilly, anyway, of course he could come up with a basket of bad ideas, and it was only a matter of minutes to rectify him.
"Alright." A voice stopped everyone who was about to continue talking, Nangong Tian stood up lightly and looked down at everyone under the steps, "Such a small matter, you still have to argue for so long, how can you not say so many things in the court?" Well? ”
After saying this, Nangong Tian didn't wait for others to answer him, and continued to himself: "Okay, since I'm here to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, then no one should have to worry about it, just sit down and taste these kinds of pastries prepared by my concubine." ”
"Yes." The ministers bowed their hands respectfully, and then returned to their seats, and began to taste the exquisite pastries before them.
Yun Yiqing had been watching all this coldly, looking at Nangong Tian's somewhat dangerous expression when he looked at him, he smiled a little embarrassedly, made a casual gesture, and sat back.
The aura on this man's body...... It's so powerful......
Yun Yiqing silently remembered such a sentence in his heart, and he was silent on the surface, but deep down he was still a little afraid of Nangong Tian.
"Huh......" sighed without a trace, and Yun Yiqing casually picked up the crimson glutinous rice dumpling in front of him.
Originally, he didn't have much hope, but he just took a bite like a routine, but the silky feeling of the entrance shocked Yun Yiqing.
"This ......" stammered speechlessly, and his expression went straight to the woman over there, and said, "Why is it so delicious?" Why is it completely different from what we usually eat? ”
At this time, Yun Yiqing couldn't care about his face, or anything, so he hurriedly asked. In fact, it is the same when you eat something that you really like.
Jiang Xinyu just had an unfathomable expression on his face, shook his index finger lightly, and said, "Heavenly secrets must not be leaked, and recipes cannot be passed on." ”
When the two were interacting happily, they didn't notice that Nangong Tian last week already had a gloomy expression.
"Wow...... It's really delicious! A minister wearing a blue-green blue shirt with two egrets embroidered on it raised his eyes and said respectfully: "The minister has never eaten such cakes before, and the snow concubine Niangniang is really ingenious, and she bothered about this hundred flowers banquet, and the minister respects the Niangniang with a cup." ”
Jiang Xinyu turned her face sideways with a smile and took a sip of her wine glass gently, which can be regarded as reluctantly accepting this honor.
"What's your name?"
Suddenly, Nangong Tian's words made the minister just now stunned, but he immediately reacted, and responded: "Minister Li Xiuman, the official is the left servant of the Ministry of Works." ”
"The left waiter of the Ministry of Works......" repeated these five words again, Nangong Tian squinted at him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The man who called himself Li Xiuman was a little furious by Nangong Tian's eyes, and now he felt that he didn't know where to put his hand.
"Ahem......" Jiang Xinyu looked at the helpless man on the steps, and still felt some sympathy for him, so he had to clear his throat lightly, in order to break the current embarrassing situation.
