Chapter 185: Banquet
"You deign to transform into a cheap person, and follow me into the palace." Chao Boots pleaded helplessly.
"Heh, adults don't really think that if they saved me, I will follow your arrangement, right?" The insect king sat on top of the head of the Stygian Flower Millipede, looking condescendingly at the court boots.
"This ...... Isn't it impossible...... That...... So what do you say......" Chao Boots was a little embarrassed.
"How to let me enter the palace smoothly is a question you should think about," the Worm King sneered, "And I, I only have to think about whether to kill you or the Seven Princes you said."
"Knock knock......" A knock on the door interrupted the conversation. Asahi boots were so frightened that his scalp exploded, and he looked nervously in the direction of the gate.
"Knock knock......" After a while, the knock on the door rang again.
"Is Lin Guoshi at home?" Chang Shiliang saw that no one answered after knocking twice, so he couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Squeak~" Chang Shiliang was about to turn around and leave, when the vermilion lacquer door in front of him was opened from the inside.
"Grandpa Chang." Lin Hai came out of the door and arched his hand.
"Steward Lin." Chang Shiliang turned to the side, dodged this salute, bowed, and bowed back, "Is Lin Guoshi at home?" Your Majesty has sent a message from the miscellaneous family."
"Chang Gong kilometers away, please, our master is in the study." Lin Hai turned sideways and welcomed Chang Shiliang into the National Teacher's Mansion.
"Father-in-law Chang, if you are far away, forgive your sins and forgive your sins." Lin Feng'an was dressed in court clothes, court boots, and hurriedly walked from the inner courtyard with his fists in his hands, and greeted Chang Shiliang in the front yard.
"The national teacher is serious." Chang Shiliang smiled sideways.
"But what is Your Majesty's will?"
"Your Majesty sent a miscellaneous family to pass on the message, and asked Lin Guoshi and his family to receive the message." Chang Shiliang said with a light smile.
"Quick, go and call Madame and them all." Lin Feng'an's voice landed, Lin Hai arched his hand and ran towards the backyard.
After a while, three women followed Lin Hai to the front yard, one of them had arrogance between his eyebrows, while the other two looked timid, and even pulled some distance away slightly.
When Lin Fengan saw these three people, a trace of discomfort quickly flashed on his face unconsciously, but he immediately covered it and led everyone to kneel in front of Chang Shiliang: "Minister, Lin Fengan took his wife and daughter to receive the order!"
"Lin Guoshi, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the emperor has decreed that you and all your family members are invited to the palace for a banquet."
Lin Feng'an was obviously stunned for a moment: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen!" After saying that, he stood up, raised his hand and prepared to send Chang Shiliang away. No, Chang Shiliang smiled and arched his hand to himself: "Lin Guoshi, why don't you see General Lin come out to receive the order?"
"Ah......" Lin Feng'an's eyes were a little evasive, and he laughed twice, "The dog went out to buy things for me, and he is not at home at this time."
"Then it's still bothering the national teacher, please bring the emperor's will with you. The emperor specially instructed General Lin to attend the dinner." Chang Shiliang said with a sad face.
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring my dog to attend." Although Lin Feng'an frowned slightly, he still responded to Chang Shiliang's words.
"Lin Guoshi, the miscellaneous family still takes the liberty of asking, this female dependent...... Chang Shiliang's gaze crossed Lin Feng'an and fell on the isolated and alienated woman behind him.
"Ah......" Lin Feng'an's brain buzzed, the corners of his mouth twitched, squeezing out a hint of a smile, he glanced at the woman with a little weakness, and said again and again, "This, this is a distant cousin in the cheap."
"Then please enter the palace with the national teacher for a banquet in the evening." Chang Shiliang bowed to the woman and said.
"It's not appropriate...... Lin Feng'an excused.
"Yes. A matter of multiple pairs of dishes and chopsticks. Your Majesty knows that there will be relatives in the National Teacher's Mansion during the festival today, so he specially instructed the miscellaneous family to invite the relatives of the National Teacher to the palace for a banquet."
"Then ......" Lin Feng'an hesitated to look back, and happened to meet the woman's murderous gaze, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Lin Fengan stiffened his head and responded.
"That's right." Chang Shiliang said with a smile, "It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, since it's a family, it's going to be reunited. Please also ask the national teacher to bring General Lin with him, and don't touch His Majesty's
Beauty is."
"Definitely, definitely." The corners of Lin Feng'an's mouth twitched, and he agreed again and again. A drop of sweat dripped silently down the sideburns.
"In that case, the miscellaneous family will take their leave." Chang Shiliang smiled at Lin Feng'an and the three people behind him, bowed, and left the National Teacher's Mansion.
~~
The palace dinner was held in Jingxiang Palace, which was in the imperial palace.
The national teacher Lin Feng'an sat anxiously at the first place on the left hand side of the main hall, behind him was Lin Zhu and the insect king who pretended to be Lin Zhu's cousin, and in the back row sat Lin Yaozhu and Lin Shichong.
"Come on, come on, this is the highlight of today's dinner." Mo Junchen glanced at the diagonal back, a smile immediately spread on his face, and with Mo Junchen's words, Mo Haoning held a wine jar sealed with mud and coarse cloth, and walked out of the shadow behind Mo Junchen. Mo Junchen motioned for Mo Haoning to put the jar of wine in front of him, "A few days ago, I got a jar of good wine," as he said, Mo Junchen's eyes glanced at Lin Feng'an, "I don't know if the injury of the national teacher can be healed?" Can you have a few drinks with me today?"
Lin Feng'an pretended to be calm, got up and arched his hand, "Your Majesty's words are serious, and there are only minor injuries, which are not enough to worry about."
"Good! Rejoice!" Mo Junchen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this jar of wine is not ordinary, is it?" As soon as Mo Junchen's words fell, some ministers became interested in the tightly sealed wine jar on the table.
"Naturally, it's not ordinary." Mo Junchen said with a smile, "This wine is carefully brewed by Imperial Doctor Peng of Tai Hospital, and it is said that it can drive away cold and dampness, and strengthen muscles and bones. None of you here today are outsiders, so let's take it out and everyone try it." As he spoke, Mo Junchen tore open the coarse cloth that had been sealed.
Lin Fengan subconsciously dodged to the side, and then quickly sat up straight, a bean-sized sweat dripping down his sideburns. As soon as he raised his eyes, facing Mo Junchen's gaze, Lin Feng'an forcibly suppressed his unsettled strong breathing, squeezed out a smile, and said, "There seems to be a flying insect just now, coming straight to my eyes......
"National Teacher, you must have read it wrong," Lin Feng'an's voice didn't fall, and immediately a prince interrupted him, "This cold winter wax moon, where did the flying insects come from."
"Yes, yes," Lin Fengan nodded again and again, his heart was weak and uneasy had taken over his brain, and he was no longer able to think. In the face of doubts, he can only respond first, he is afraid that if there is an argument, there will be more trouble.
"I guess it's because you're missing an eye and you're restricted, it's okay, this good medicinal wine may be able to cure your eye disease! Come on, come on, it's all full, it's full!" Mo Junchen said, instructing Mo Haoning to hold the jar and pour wine one by one.
In a short time, the dark brown wine mixed with a hint of bloody smell filled the wine cup in front of everyone.
Lin Feng'an's face visibly turned pale to the naked eye.
