Chapter Ninety-Seven: Jealous
At the beginning of the war, it was not advisable to drink and meat, and tonight's banquet was full of vegetarian dishes, as well as a few jars of wine, and there was no meat at all.
During the meal, the side hall was quiet, and even the sound of chopsticks was inaudible.
After all, there is His Royal Highness the Prince, which shows the importance of the family in terms of cultivation, Ye Lingwu raised his eyes and quietly swept the banquet, everyone ate extremely gentle, even Shen Paner, who is lively and active on weekdays, is also elegant.
Ye Lingwu took a breath and ate with her posture unaware, she had never paid attention to these etiquettes since she was a child, and she never thought that one day she would be able to dine with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the future Son of Heaven.
Later, when I returned to Yuzhou, I said that there was another bullblow.
When he was almost finished, the prince put down his chopsticks, and everyone stopped following him.
"It's really sad to be in the moon for so many years, and it's really sad to suddenly suffer a great hardship," the prince raised his wine glass, "This cup of wine, first for the people of the moon, I am grateful to General Zhaoguo Zhuguo, and then I wish the moon to be from now on He Qinghai Yan and the people are healthy." ”
Shen Zhan picked up the wine glass in one hand and said solemnly: "It is the mission of the minister to protect the family and defend the country, and the minister is also willing to feed the people and live and work in peace and contentment." ”
The prince smiled and raised his head to drink.
The crowd drank it all the way.
The wine on the table is not sweet rice wine, but a medicinal wine with some degrees and soaked in ginseng, and it is a little hot in the throat when you drink it.
Ye Lingwu drank it, couldn't help frowning, and just put down the wine glass and wine glass, he heard the person next to him whisper: "If you can't get used to drinking, don't drink it." ”
Ye Lingwu raised his eyes when he heard this, and Nuo Nuo said: "But everyone drinks it, and if I don't drink it, I don't know how to be polite." ”
The smile on Shen Zhan's face faded a little, and said, "Then drink less, your face is not good-looking, are you sick in Eucalyptus Town these days?" ”
Under the slightly dim candlelight, the girl's face was pale and her spirit was slightly sluggish.
Ye Lingwu touched his face and replied: "Thank you Lord Hou for your concern, I have been with the medicine stone for a long time these days, but my appetite is not in the way." ”
As she spoke, she gently raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Zhan's shoulder, and asked, "Is Master Hou's injuries all healed?" ”
Shen Zhan said: "It's all right." ”
"It's all right, Master Hou was in a hurry that night, and Dr. Li forgot to give you the ointment specially prepared for you, and he was nagging for several days after that." Ye Lingwu had a silly smile on his face, thinking of the chattering mouth when Dr. Li grabbed the medicine, this day passed really fast.
"Since you remember Dr. Li's nagging, why don't you come to deliver the medicine in person?" Shen Zhan poured cold water coldly.
Ye Lingwu's smile froze, and he stammered: "That... That's because...... Because the medical hall was too busy, I thought that there were many people around Hou Ye, and if he wanted to change the medicine, there was also a medical center in the city. ”
Shen Zhan lowered his eyes and was silent.
At this moment, he heard a small cough from the opposite side, Ye Lingwu followed the sound, it turned out that Jiang Partridge, who couldn't drink, was choked, and Wu on the side hurriedly poured a cup of hot water, and served Jiang Partridge to drink hot water while smoothing his back.
Ye Lingwu looked at it with envy, and unconsciously looked towards the Shen family seat on the side, just in front of Shen Ci's gaze, his eyes were facing each other, thinking that Shen Ci also saw the loving appearance of the Jiang family and his wife, and tacitly hooked the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, only to hear the sudden sound of 'tong' on the side, Ye Lingwu turned his head and lowered his eyes, and saw that the chopsticks in Shen Zhan's hand were actually cracked, and when he raised his eyes again, Shen Zhan hung his long eyelashes and said nothing with a dark face.
Ye Lingwu's heart moved, and after thinking about it, he hadn't spoken to him before, so he shouldn't have offended, so he said, "Master Hou, I'll ask the female envoy to change a pair of chopsticks for you." ”
"Not necessarily." Shen Zhan's tone was stiff, put down the broken chopsticks, and drank wine one after another.
Ye Lingwu turned his head and didn't look at him, like sitting on pins and needles, just wanting this banquet to disperse quickly.
Think about it, after all, sitting beside him is a high-powered Ningbei Hou, how dare Ye Lingwu slack off, so he said: "Master Hou hurts his body by drinking like this, you have so many injuries on your body, it's better to drink less......"
"No problem." Shen Zhan put down his wine glass and interrupted in a deep voice.
Ye Lingwu frowned.
Listening to his tone, he was quite resentful, when did he offend him, he was obviously fine before, just say less wrong, don't say good.
Yes, Ye Lingwu picked up a piece of rice cake and took a bite.
Very sweet.
There was also a drink during the banquet over there, Mrs. Lou raised his head and took a sip of wine, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Shen Ci looking at Ye Lingwu on this side of the banquet.
He touched his beard and said upward: "Old lady Shen, speaking of which Jingyan is almost eighteen, why don't you be in a hurry?" ”
Shen Ci raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "Master Taifu cares so much, why, do you want to change careers to become a matchmaker?" ”
Lou Taifu choked. This stinky boy owes his mouth too much.
When he was in the capital, he relied on a mouth to put the Lou family in the turmoil, how did Mrs. Lou say that he was also full of poetry and books, and he was a person who paid attention to Swen, and he was tongued in those days, and he almost fainted, and when he met again, he naturally couldn't easily let go of Shen Ci.
"I said that Jing Yan is not small, and you have to be cautious in what you say and do, no matter how I say it, I am also your elder, how can it become mine to ask a few words."
Shen Ci said: "Master Taifu's words can give me a big button, the younger generation is not very good at talking, haven't you seen it a long time ago?" ”
Mrs. Lou choked again.
Mrs. Shen put down her chopsticks and replied unhurriedly: "Don't be like Jing Yan, my two grandchildren have more opinions than the other, my wife can't manage it, and it's useless to be anxious." It's better to worry about these girls than to worry about them. ”
Shen Pan'er's ears twitched, and she said, "Grandmother, granddaughter, I don't need you to worry about it." At this moment, she thinks more about Jiang Lanshu, and the seventeen-year-old girl is more worried than her.
Old Mrs. Shen glanced at her and said, "You, I don't have to worry about it, after returning to Beijing, your mother will naturally take care of you." ”
When the prince heard this, he smiled and said: "This girl's family is not in a hurry, Miss Shen San is the daughter of the Marquis of Ningbei, and the sons and daughters who can match her in the capital still have to pay attention to their conduct." ”
Shen Pan'er nodded and agreed: "That is, the crown princess also married His Royal Highness the crown prince at the age of eighteen, the crown princess is a Jiangzhou nobleman, and she is quite a good match with the prince, if it weren't for the princess entering the palace at the age of seventeen to celebrate the queen's birthday, maybe she wouldn't be able to achieve a good marriage story with His Royal Highness the prince." ”
The prince said: "Speaking of which, Shen San has not entered the palace for a long time, and Yuan Ying often mentioned you before, thinking about when you, the little sun, and Yue'er will be able to enter the palace to accompany you." ”
Shen Pan'er's eyes lit up, and she replied: "Okay, when I return to Beijing, I will definitely go into the palace with Yue'er to talk to the crown princess." ”
Shen Yue'er said: "I heard that the princess's delivery date is approaching, and I guess that we can still participate in the full moon banquet of His Royal Highness the crown prince and the crown princess after we return to Beijing." ”
The crown prince smiled and said, "Next month," he raised his arms and arched his hand towards everyone, "When the time comes, I will also invite the Hou Mansion of Ningbei and the Taifu Lou to enter the palace to eat and drink together." ”
