Chapter 223: Shadow Lan Goes to the Banquet
At night, at the beginning of the lanterns, Ying Lan walked from Yuandaolou to the palace of the great prince, and saw the lights in the palace of the great prince from a distance, and the servants went in and out, very busy. In this bright light that seems to be like dawn, there is a dark shadow standing at the door, looking in the direction of the distant rice tower, as if waiting for something.
Ying Lan walked in and took a look, and found that it was the scholar who went to deliver a letter to herself that day waiting at the door, and when he saw Ying Lan coming, the scholar was very excited, and immediately stepped forward and greeted Ying Lan: "Lord of the Shadow Palace, you can be regarded as coming, let the little one wait, if you don't come, the master will definitely blame it." If it's cold today and it's windy outside, please go back home with the little one, the master is already waiting for a banquet in the main hall. After the scholar finished speaking, he bowed down and made a gesture of invitation, and then directly led Ying Lan into the main hall of the Great Prince's Mansion.
Pei Rumo was already waiting there early, and there were a total of twelve dishes on the table, eight hot dishes, four cold dishes, and a stew pot in the center of the round table, which looked like a soup. Pei Rumo sat on the main seat, folding the fan and shaking it gently. If it weren't for the scars on his face and the murderous aura on his body that ruined some of the beauty, in the eyes of outsiders, this Pei Rumo was indeed a beautiful son.
"Master, the Lord of the Shadow Lan Hall has arrived, and I have already brought the people, so it's time for a banquet, right?" The scholar bowed to Pei Rumo, turned sideways slightly, and revealed the Shadow Lan who was following him.
Pei Rumo saw that Ying Lan had arrived, so he immediately put away the folding fan, stood up from his seat, saluted Ying Lan and said, "The Lord of Ying Lan Hall is willing to appreciate the light, it is my Pei Rumo's honor, please take a seat." After Pei Rumo finished speaking, he pointed out a seat on the east side of the banquet to Ying Lan, in Yunlan Country, everyone who can do this position is a guest, so Pei Rumo can be regarded as giving Ying Lan enough face.
Ying Lan didn't mean to be polite at all, so he went straight to it, for this Pei Rumo, he didn't know the roots, or don't say too much, say too much, so as not to make people find the wrong place, he doesn't care, if it involves the master, it will be bad.
Pei Rumo was not surprised at all by Ying Lan's seemingly impolite appearance. In Pei Rumo's opinion, people like Ying Lan can be roughly classified as a master outside the world, and it is normal for a person to have a strange temper, and there is nothing wrong with it, even if he is a prince, he has to bear it well.
"Bring me the plum blossom brew I prepared and cook it on the side. When Pei Rumo saw Ying Lan sitting down, he ordered directly.
"Yes. Minglu received the order, and went directly to the dining room. The plum blossom brew broke the mud seal when the morning dew was faint, so that the flavor was the best, and it was not easy to be intoxicating. In order to prevent the wine from dissipating, Minglu deliberately let people seal it in the ice cellar to ensure its best flavor. In this way, as long as you go to the stove of warm wine, and brew that plum blossom hot, it is a good wine that cannot be found with lanterns in many restaurants in this Yunlan country.
Pei Rumo waited for Minglu to bring the wine up, so that he could start a conversation when pouring the wine, but Minglu was a little troublesome in order to keep the wine in the best flavor, so the time for serving wine was delayed a lot. Ying Lan also didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in this Pei Qingfeng gourd, and now she was silent, waiting for Pei Rumo to speak first.
When Ming Lu brought the wine up, he saw a very strange scene, two men with superior strength and good looks, sitting in front of a table of delicious food, motionless, like two statues.
The appearance of these two people now scared Minglu a little, and Minglu thought that there was something wrong with the dishes he prepared, which made these two people unhappy. Thinking so in my heart, the action of holding the plum blossom brew in my hand is also a bit unsharp, but in the end, I still hold on to put the plum blossom brew on the table, after all, if the dish is not to taste, if I spill the plum blossom brewed by the master himself, then I am afraid that I really have no place in this prince's mansion.
"Master, Lord of the Shadow Lan Palace, but the food prepared by the slave is not what you two want? If there is anything you want to eat, even if you tell the slave that it is, the slave will let people prepare it now, if the dining room can't be prepared, let people go outside to buy it back, it is also fast, and it won't delay any time. Minglu asked cautiously, although his head was lowered, but he kept glancing at Pei Rumo from time to time to see what his master's face was, but this face didn't look different, Minglu had no choice but to directly give a solution.
Pei Rumo has been immersed in officialdom for a long time, and immediately brought the plum blossom brew to Ying Lan and poured a full glass of wine, and then opened his mouth to Ming Lu and said: "There is nothing unpleasant, but there is a way to talk about wine, you didn't come up with this wine, the two of us, how can you talk about it, you say yes, Lord Yinglan?" Pei Rumo easily turned the conversation to Ying Lan.
Before Ying Lan could speak, Ming Lu grabbed the words: "The master forgives the sin, the slave is in order to fully retain the mellow fragrance of this plum blossom brew, and in doing such a complicated treatment, in the past, the plum blossom brew was when the master you were cultivating and invited three or two friends to break the mud seal and drink together." Today, I was afraid that the flavor would change, so the minions broke the mud seal early in the morning and put it in the ice cellar, which delayed the hour. After all, this plum blossom brew is a wine made by you yourself, and it is only such a small jar for a whole year, if it is wasted, it will not be in vain your efforts?"
Ming Lu's words can be described as clever, first explaining why he was late to get the wine, and then explaining the preciousness of this plum blossom wine, making Ying Lan feel that he is also a valued person.
How could Ying Lan not hear the meaning of this little scholar's words, and immediately played a round to give herself a step, and also a step for Pei Rumo as the master: "Your Highness, don't be too harsh, you little scholar is doing your best, I don't know how much better than those people under me, don't scare him anymore." As the saying goes, this good meal is not afraid of being late, so even if you eat it now, it is too late. What's more, with a reckless body, I can drink the wine brewed by His Royal Highness himself, which can be regarded as a blessing for three lives. ”
