Chapter 52: Dragon Boat Festival
According to the rules, Lin Wanyi and the others also sat at the bottom of the palace banquet.
Also close to the lake, when the breeze blows, there is a feeling of penetration.
promised this row, a total of four people sat down, in addition to Lin Wan's accident, it was Mu Lanchun, as well as the new Shangguan promise and Han promise, who had been in the palace for many years.
They are all people who don't talk much, and they don't dare to see more after seeing this lively scene today.
Sitting next to Lin Wanyi was Mu Yu.
After looking at this scene, she walked up to Lin Wanyi with some apologies and said.
"A few days ago, my sister was blinded by lard, and she was embarrassed by my sister's head, and I hope my sister won't be estranged from me because of this."
After that, he looked at Lin Wanyi with some sadness, and the tears fell as soon as he said it.
It provoked several promised ladies around to look at it, and their eyes were full of curiosity and incomprehension.
Lin Wanyi wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then said good-naturedly.
"Your tears are a little uneconomical, and I can't find a good excuse to cover up for you."
was amused by Lin Wanyi, but Mu Lanchun laughed again.
"Sister Lin doesn't blame me."
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, I heard that today's zongzi are sweet and salty, if you really feel sorry for me, just eat two more for me."
"Sister doesn't like zongzi?"
"I don't like glutinous food very much, and I always feel that my stomach is very bad after eating."
"I see, then sister, don't worry, sister, I will help you solve everything in front of the table."
Mu Lanchun is still as close to Lin Wanyi as in the past.
But Chun Qi and Xia An, who were standing behind, had a flash of vigilance in their eyes.
Sitting behind the two of them were four or five well-behaved ladies, who were not even concubines, but only the emperor's chamberlains.
One of them has a good face, but he has a lively temperament while drinking tea and talking to the person next to him.
"Mrs. Jiang, have you participated in this Dragon Boat Festival banquet in the past?"
"I have participated twice, once in the seventh year of Yuanhe and once in the fourteenth year of Yuanhe."
"Oh? Then you have been in the palace for so long, you must know what to pay attention to at this palace banquet, I will follow you in a while, and I will do whatever you do. ”
The Jiang lady glanced sideways at the person who spoke, and if she wanted to refuse, she couldn't say it to death, so she could only say with a light smile.
"He Niangzi, you have just entered the palace, even if you know less about the rules, I am only a lady in the palace for so long, I don't deserve to pay so much attention to it."
The person who was called He Niangzi immediately muttered his mouth, and his heart was ten thousand unhappy, but his face still had to be more flattering.
said to Jiang Niangzi.
"Don't worry, lady, I'm just afraid of breaking the rules before I say this, and I won't really do anything to affect you."
After hearing her words, the Jiang lady also shut up.
Anyway, they are all sitting at the end of this, and it would be nice to be able to see the emperor's background from afar.
Who will pay attention to those who are not in order?
Seeing that she no longer spoke, Mrs. He also shut up and turned to look at the sparkling waves on the surface of the lake, relieving the embarrassment.
The four princesses accompanied Concubine Lin to say something, and they heard a voice from outside Qingyuan.
"The emperor has arrived."
The eunuch's sharp voice was like heaven at this moment, and everyone immediately stood up to greet the holy driver.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."
Then I saw the emperor walking over in a tiger, wearing a bright yellow court dress, full of majesty.
Behind him were several men who were a little older, and they looked similar to the emperor.
Walking into the Qing Garden, the emperor saw Lin Guifei's dress at a glance.
frowned slightly, then relaxed again, and said without any waves.
"Let's be flat."
"Your Majesty."
And several middle-aged men behind him also clenched their fists and said.
"The ministers have seen Concubine Lin."
"A few imperial uncles are polite, please hurry up."
Concubine Lin also made a gesture of support, and then stood beside the emperor, showing a generous and dignified appearance.
Lin Wanyi and the others were far away, so they couldn't see the appearance of those imperial uncles clearly.
But listening to the voice, you can see that one or two are very loud, and they seem to be full of energy.
The emperor sat down on the dragon chair, and the rest of the people also found a place to sit down.
As soon as Concubine Lin raised her hand, a group of eunuchs came up to remove those rosewood screens.
The left and right sides are very symmetrical.
"Today is a palace banquet, but also a family banquet, please come and watch this dragon boat race together, may God bless my Great Wei Yong prosperous, lasting for a thousand years!"
Emperor Yu Wenhong raised his glass, and everyone also took the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
Together with the music, this Dragon Boat Festival feast will begin.
Originally, under the instruction of Concubine Lin, Ye Guiren and Du Chang arranged a lot of wine and delicacies.
But the emperor's decree was much simpler.
But no matter how simple it is, there must still be something on this table, just like the five-sided date dumplings and cloud leg meat dumplings, all placed in the Linglong Eight Treasure Plate, one dish per person.
It looks delicious, but Lin Wanyi touched it lightly with her hand, leaving only the residual warmth.
If she eats such glutinous food, she is afraid that she will have to lie down for the next two days, so she looked at Mu Lanchun on the side.
I saw that the contents of her plate had already been swept away, and her eyes widened as she looked at Lin Wanyi.
"Eat, but don't choke."
"I know, my sister can rest assured, I have an iron stomach here, and I don't have to eat anything."
They were far away from the main table, and they spoke in a deliberately low voice, so the people next to them didn't notice.
The emperor who was sitting in the middle glanced at Lin Wanyi casually, and then continued to talk with those imperial uncles pushing cups and changing lamps.
Concubine Lin liked this kind of scene because she was the only one who was qualified to accompany the emperor.
Just as they were talking about the excitement here, there were bursts of cheers on Shounan Lake outside.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the sons and daughters are ready, and the old ministers are full of blood boiling when they hear it!"
It was Emperor Yu Wenhong's fourth uncle and the emperor's younger brother Yu Wenqian who spoke.
He is over 50 years old, and he speaks with confidence, and he is also like the great generals of all dynasties, with a strong physique and a full beard.
Lin Wanyi had heard the eldest brother mention the fourth prince, and her eyes were full of admiration and yearning.
said that he was loyal, righteous and open-minded.
He also said that he was out of the royal family, but he never coveted royal rights, and preferred military camp life.
Therefore, he withdrew from the path of seizing the heir early, not only protecting the former emperor all the way to the supreme position, but also being very loyal to His Majesty today.
Therefore, six years ago, he was given the name of "Prince of Great Wei'an" and enjoyed the glory of the gold medal for avoiding death that all princes could not get.
