The formal banquet soon began. Purple Pavilion

Everyone left the Wenhua Hall and went to Xingle Palace with the holy car.

When the banquet came, everyone was stunned.

The three very simple vegetarian dishes, there are not even a few meat stars in them, and the two cold side dishes are the same as those of ordinary people, which are not as good as the dishes at the family banquets in various prefectures.

Everyone looked at each other.

They had never heard of this kind of palace banquet. See the unseen.

"Haven't you heard, the treasury is tight," I don't know who said in private.

"There has been a commotion on the part of the household department for a long time, because the first emperor was obsessed with alchemy, and countless taels of silver consumed every year The treasury has long been empty."

"How could it be that the emperor approved silver a few years ago for officials to go south for disaster relief."

"That's the last, don't expect taxes in the south in three years, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get your military salary."

"No wonder this table is so simple"

Listening to people's private discussions, the prime minister twisted his beard and hid the smugness at the corners of his mouth.

The treasury was empty enough to cause chaos in the court, and the new emperor apparently did not realize that a sharp sword was hanging over his head.

Ling Xiaotian didn't seem to have any feeling for the table in front of him, and he and Su Baitong sat down in the top position. The others quickly found their seats.

"Ten Highnesses to Eleven Highnesses"

Everyone turned their heads to look out of the hall, only to see Ling Jingxiao and Eleven walking in.

"I've seen the emperor, the queen."

Ling Xiaotian smiled and let them sit down, greeting him from time to time, looking very close.

Not long after the official opening, Father-in-law Jia arranged for the palace musicians to play music. A dancing girl came up to perform a dance.

Ling Xiaotian only glanced at it occasionally, and most of the time he was talking to Ling Jingxiao and the others.

At this moment, Prime Minister Guan got up and said, "Today is rare for the emperor to give a banquet, and the little daughter of Weichen has lost the score of Qizhen Building, and wants to dedicate a song." Please ask the emperor for your permission. ”

"Lost score" Ling Xiaotian's mouth curled.

"Exactly."

"Since she sincerely wants to make a song, please come up." Ling Xiaotian looked like he was talking.

Guan Cheng thanked him, and Guan Xiangjun also got up from the women's table to thank him, "The courtiers have to go down to prepare first." ”

"Exactly." Ling Xiaotian raised his voice.

Guan Xiangjun smiled generously and withdrew first to prepare.

As soon as she left, the banquet suddenly became active, many women had prepared the show in advance, and now let the prime minister's daughter take the lead, but I was afraid that there would be no chance for them later, so many courtiers got up one after another, saying that their little girl had also prepared the show.

Ling Xiaotian said with a smile. "Anyway, it's all for fun, it doesn't matter who comes first."

As a result, before Guan Xiangjun came back, there were already several people vying to come up and perform in front of the emperor.

It's nothing more than something that women are good at, musical instruments or dance.

Ling Xiaotian smiled at the corner of her lips from beginning to end, and peeked at Su Baitong more than eleven times, for fear that she would be displeased.

But what he didn't expect was that Su Baitong also had a faint smile on his face.

Eleven took the opportunity to toast Ling Jingxiao and whispered, "What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, Sixth Brother?"

So many people broke their heads as if they wanted to stuff their daughters into the palace, but anyone with eyes could see it. Why didn't his six sisters-in-law react at all?

"What do you think she should be" Ling Jingxiao smiled slightly.

The face refused to allow those women to come up and perform

Eleven blinked, quickly throwing the thoughts out of his head.

Su Baitong is not such a woman.

"She's really calm." Eleven sighed.

"She's never been an ordinary woman." Ling Jingxiao followed.

"It's also," Eleven remembered that Su Baitong risked the crime of bullying the monarch and Ling Xiaotian to steal him out of the imperial tomb and heal his own leg.

How could an ordinary woman be so bold

"Which woman do you think Sixth Brother will be optimistic about?" asked Eleven.

It is impossible for the emperor's harem to have only one queen, and Eleven feels that Ling Xiaotian will marry at least a few concubines to come in, even if it is necessary to put it in the harem as decorations.

"The sixth brother can still pretend to be someone else in his eyes," Ling Jingxiao joked, and gestured with her eyes.

Eleven took a look and saw that Su Baitong seemed to be sitting a little uncomfortable, and moved his body on the phoenix seat several times.

Ling Xiaotian immediately beckoned to Gonggong Jia and whispered a few words to him.

Soon, a palace maid sent a cushion and put it behind Su Baitong's waist.

Eleven lowered his head to hide the smile on his face, his sixth brother, I am afraid that he will be eaten by this little wife in this life.

There are some things, if you miss it, you miss it, even if he was interested in her from the beginning, but in front of him, she can only be his sixth sister-in-law forever.

The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.

It's okay, she still hurts him anyway.

At this moment, another woman finished playing, and stepped forward to salute the emperor and empress with the piano in her arms.

After everyone finished performing, Ling Xiaotian would praise a few words, but as for the reward, there was no reward.

This could not help but make the ministers more certain of the rumors that the treasury was empty today.

Guan Xiangjun came to the stage with the piano in his arms, gave a salute, and smiled generously at Ling Xiaotian.

Su Baitong was secretly amused, it seemed that this Miss Guan was determined to win, even if she was at a distance, she could smell the special aroma coming from the other party.

That is the "Xinyue" incense that Guan Xiangjun bought from her with his daughter in the Xiang Pavilion.

This incense is made by her own hands, which can make the smell of it pleasing to the heart, especially for men.

Today, Guan Xiangjun not only sprinkled this kind of incense on her body, but even her piano also attached a layer of "Xinyue" incense powder.

As she plucked the strings with her fingertips, the fragrance with a special smell wafted out, and the listener only felt that his heart was shaking, and the sound of the piano was mixed with the smell, and the woman playing the piano in front of her seemed to be about to become the fairy in the painting, which made people yearn for it

Ling Xiaotian's hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air, and his eyes stared at Guan Xiangjun who was playing the piano.

Prime Minister Guan sat at the banquet and saw it really clearly, and he was secretly proud in his heart.

This daughter of his, which he spent a lot of effort to raise, is second to none in Kyoto in terms of appearance and talent, and is proficient in chess, qin, calligraphy and painting.

When Guan Xiangjun was just thirteen years old, the matchmaker who entered the house to say that he was close to him almost stepped on the threshold.

But he didn't respond to anyone's family affairs, and even the virtuous king, who was the most famous emperor, came to ask for marriage, but he pushed it on the grounds that the little girl was young. Yu Huan just now.

He has been sitting in this position of prime minister for many years, waiting for such an opportunity.

If his daughter can enter the harem smoothly, then in the future, why should he worry about big things

Power, money, perhaps, he can also expect to become more of the emperor's close ministers, and the only reliance, even if it is to control the king, it is not difficult to control the government.
