Chapter 116: The Night Banquet
"Conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy!"
Lin Sen took the invitation card and said to Nie Tianhong.
"Then do you want to go?" Nie Tianhong looked at the invitation and asked with some hesitation, I don't know when it started, Nie Tianhong began to pay attention to Lin Sen's decision.
Lin Sen smiled and showed his white teeth, "Hehe, of course you go, there is free food!
Nie Tianhong smiled bitterly, when this kid was hanging, it really made people want to beat him.
"What if this is the queen's provocation?" Nie Tianhong continued to ask.
"Such a simple provocation, if the prince can't see it, then it's not worth supporting!, isn't it?" Lin Sen asked rhetorically.
Nie Tianhong thought so!
So, the itinerary of the two of them for the evening was so decided, and they went to Daming Palace for a big meal.
Cui Xiong, who was not invited, expressed deep envy. Alas, in fact, Cui Xiong is the envy of him, this greedy guy is deeply disappointed that he can't eat the food of the palace.
Until the two of them went out, they were talking about their loss. In the end, Lin Sen, who was annoyed, gritted his teeth and promised a few big meals, and the big guy broke into tears and laughed.
Nie Tianhong looked at a few people joking, and couldn't help but laugh, but then he remembered the passing Ximen Blowing Snow, and his expression darkened.
At this time, a pair of hands pressed on his shoulders, and Lin Sen's voice sounded, "Don't think about it, let's go, eat a big meal, and take a break by the way." ”
The two got into the black car that picked them up, and then the sedan started up, turned around the corner and disappeared. The speed of the car is very fast. After only half a star, they came to the gate of the palace.
The guard at the door only glanced at the pass on the window. He waved his hand and let it go, and today there are more than a dozen such cars. They were all guests of honor attending the Queen's Dinner.
The black sedan soon came to the outside of the Daming Palace, stopped, and the road behind it needed to be walked.
A small eunuch led the two of them through the winding corridor, not yet introducing the surrounding scenery.
Lin Sen saw that this little eunuch was sharp and eloquent, so he couldn't help but become interested, and asked casually:
"My father-in-law's surname?"
The little eunuch hurriedly waved his hand and said respectfully: "Don't dare to bear it, don't dare to bear it." The two heroes call me Xiao Anzi. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Sen eagerly, and the admiration on his face could be seen by a blind person.
This Xiao Anzi is the little eunuch mentioned above, because of his eloquence, he has been promoted to the first level in the eyes of Wu Yuniang.
However, this person is now an avid fan of Lin Sen, and this has to start with the death of Ximen Blowing Snow.
This Xiao Anzi felt that Ximen Fuxue had died strangely at that time, but he was just a little eunuch and had no power or power. There was no way to find out anything, so I had to suppress the injustice and doubts in my heart.
It wasn't until Lin Sen and Nie Tianhong appeared and challenged the ring again that he immediately paid attention.
On the day of the competition. Although he couldn't go to the scene, he still took leave to watch the live broadcast. Because he has recently been favored by the queen, no one has embarrassed him in this regard.
The first scene. Nie Tianhong killed Ximen Blowing Snow's opponent, which made him excited. I was so happy.
Then Lin Sen was shocked by the fact that there were many enemies, which made him even more stunned. He was not very old, he was the age of hero worship.
At that time, Lin Sen was strolling around and killing people, and Xiao Anzi's blood was boiling when he saw it, and he couldn't wait to replace him.
Lin Sen's heroic deeds made him immediately regard him as an idol.
Today, when he learned that Lin Sen was coming, he took the initiative to apply for a reception job, just to be able to greet the idol in person.
Lin Sen looked at this fifteen or sixteen-year-old little eunuch, and felt proud, he didn't expect that his influence would extend to the palace.
After a while, the three of them finally came to the main hall, and Lin Sen casually took off a piece of jade pendant tied around his waist and handed it to Xiao Anzi.
Seeing that the little eunuch trembled and stretched out his hand to take it, with a flattered look, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Little father-in-law, I'm optimistic about you!"
Xiao Anzi didn't know how he left, his head was dizzy, and his steps were like stepping on clouds.
Lin Sen's words kept lingering in his ears.
"He called me father-in-law, and the idol called me father-in-law twice. ”
Xiao Anzi clutched the jade pendant in his hand, and his face was firm, "I, Xiao Anzi, must not disappoint my idol, I must become a great eunuch and live up to the title of 'father-in-law'." "In the Tang Palace, only the great eunuch will be called the father-in-law.
Lin Sen didn't know that his casual words of encouragement created a powerful eunuch in the future, and helped Lin Sen a lot in the future.
This drink and peck is really amazing.
In front of the main hall of Daming Palace, the red lanterns are hung high, and there are sixteen under the eaves.
On both sides of the welcome road, there are more than a dozen palace maids wearing colorful feathers, each of whom gathers a palace fan.
Lin Sen and Nie Tianhong stepped in and entered the main hall.
The interior of the hall is extremely festive. The floor was covered with a thick carpet inlaid with gold wire, and the beams were covered with delicately painted palace lamps and red silk flowers.
The main hall is supported by six pairs of tall copper pillars, each with a one-man tall carved silk silver candlestick next to the copper pillars.
It was already dark, but there were no lights in the hall. It's just that the candle holder was lit early with an arm-thick candle, and the candle was mixed with spices, and the fragrance was overflowing when burned.
The banquet followed the ancient system of the Tang Dynasty, one person had a low couch and one small table, and the seats of Lin Sen and Nie Tianhong were leaning together, in the middle of the position.
After the two of them sat down, they looked around, and they were really crowned, and the leaders of almost all departments of Datang came.
It seems that the legend that the prince is unpopular in the capital is not groundless, this Wu Yuniang really has a hand in attracting people, Lin Sen secretly sighed. No wonder the prince wants to ask for support, most of the chief officials in Chang'an are the queen's people.
As time passed, the room gradually filled, and many people saw Lin Sen and Nie Tianhong both with surprised expressions on their faces, whispering to the people next to them.
However, Lin Sen and the two were not ordinary people, they were determined and unmoved, and sat on their knees peacefully.
Lin Sen even had time to nod and smile at the people who were looking over, and those people suddenly retracted their gaze in shock.
Wang Dong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, is 98 years old this year, and she is also a staunch supporter of the queen, and he feels that although the queen Wu Yuniang is a woman, her heart and courage are far greater than that of men.
Wang Dong was very curious about how there could be Lin Sen and Nie Tianhong at today's banquet, didn't the family of these two support the crown prince.
So, he looked over curiously, but Lin Sen suddenly turned his head and smiled at him as if he was induced.
Wang Dong was taken aback, he didn't have time to dodge, and he didn't want to lose his courtesy, so he had to laugh back awkwardly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Sen arched his hand at him again, and Wang Dong was helpless. I had to bow my hand in return.
But this Lin Sen was endless, only to see him stand up again, holding the wine glass in both hands and shaking towards Wang Dong.
In fact, if it had been someone else, he would have pretended not to see it and ignored it.
But Wang Dong is the minister of etiquette, and he attaches the most importance to the number of etiquette, so he has no choice but to stand up with a wine glass.
Li Biyu, behind the curtain, peeked at Lin Sen's side, and saw that the two of them were moving as if they were pulling a thread, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"This guy is really funny, I didn't expect there to be such a narrow side. (To be continued......)
