Dayan national style is quite open, the annual banquet is the official with their family members into the palace, in Jingren Palace banquet, in which the four grades and above with their families in the main hall to sit down, the four grades below the officials with their families in the side hall to sit down, the men in the left, the women in the right, according to the status of the seat.

It's just that the people who can sit in the main hall are about the same every year, even if there are many new officials every year, Ling Xiaorou is too conspicuous to sit here, especially when she is looked at by those women with a slightly hostile gaze, Ling Xiaorou is really uncomfortable, she knew this, it is better to sit next to the old lady.

The emperor and the queen hadn't come yet, just some refreshments were placed on the table, although the eyes of the ladies swept to Ling Xiaorou's side intentionally or unintentionally, but no one stopped to laugh, just faintly isolated Ling Xiaorou.

Ling Xiaorou didn't care, picked up the refreshments on the table and ate quietly, most of these refreshments were bought by the palace in the famous Weiquanxuan in the capital, although Ling Xiaorou was not as delicious as she made herself, but she was still glad that her perfectionism in food did not attack, otherwise if she really wanted to make these refreshments herself, the imperial dining room might not be busy.

There are also some Ling Xiaorou who look very kind, and they are actually a few kinds of lo-mei produced in the palace workshop, sausages, luncheon meat, braised chicken, braised skewers...... Except for the marinated skewers, which are placed directly on the plate, the rest are cut into thin slices, which are very exquisitely arranged, and even a plate of honey lotus root is seen.

Obviously, these foods are selling very well in the capital these days, and everyone does not eat less on weekdays, at least there is no scramble at the New Year's banquet.

It's just that everyone else is talking, Ling Xiaorou can't interject again, and she is bored when she sits down, so she eats the food on the plate all the time, and always feels that the taste is not as good as when she was there, is it because mass production can't guarantee the taste?

While eating, I heard a beautiful female voice on the other side ask softly, "This sister, are you hungry?" ”

Ling Xiaorou looked up and saw a very handsome young lady on the opposite side looking at her with a concerned face, that concerned look seemed to be completely from the bottom of her heart, especially her seemingly innocent eyes, which made Ling Xiaorou suddenly have the illusion of seeing the White Lotus.

And after she asked not very big, but not small, not only this table, but also the next few tables also quieted down, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Ling Xiaorou.

Because of the strange silence here, no matter how far away, I couldn't pay attention to it.

Ling Xiaorou was slightly embarrassed, although she didn't understand what the young lady meant, but she must have deliberately embarrassed herself, she didn't remember offending such a cautious young lady.

Ling Xiaorou put down the chopsticks in her hand and smiled sweetly at the young lady, "May I ask what this sister is called?" ”

The young lady didn't seem to expect Ling Xiaorou to be able to calm down at this time, she was stunned for a moment, her smile was slightly stiff, "I am the daughter of Yao Guang, Yao Mingzhu, I don't know what to call my sister?" ”

Ling Xiaorou doesn't know how the official position of Dayan Kingdom is divided, since Yao Mingzhu can sit in the main hall, presumably Yao Guang is the youngest and fourth-grade, but if this woman wants to yin herself, she has to see if she has the ability, although she looks quite scheming, but will she offend people if she really has a scheming heart?

Yao Guang's daughter, right? Anyway, Ling Xiaorou had already written her down, and if she hit her next time, she would definitely know the consequences of offending a careful-eyed woman.

Seeing that Ling Xiaorou didn't answer herself for a long time, Yao Mingzhu asked with a smile, "Why doesn't my sister want to say it?" Is there something unspeakable? ”

said and exclaimed: "Could it be my sister's father and brother's official position......

Although the words were not finished, the implication of the words clearly implied that Ling Xiaorou might not be sitting in the main hall.

Ling Xiaorou just smiled faintly, and was about to report Ling Feng's official position, when she saw Ling Feng walking in quickly from outside the main hall with an angry face, standing in the hall and looking around, after seeing Ling Xiaorou, her expression eased up.

It's just that he is a man who can't go to the side of the female dependent, and when he was hesitating, a colleague saw him come in and shouted, 'General Ling', Ling Feng glanced at Ling Xiaorou again, and walked over.

And as Ling Feng walked in, almost half of the women were attracted to attention, especially Ling Xiaorou's side of these tables were obviously girls waiting for words, and all of them showed excitement on their faces.

The pink-clothed lady sitting on Ling Xiaorou's right hand blushed and said, "Have you seen it?" That was General Weilie, and he was as handsome as rumored. ”

A girl in red was also full of excitement, "Of course I saw it, I just saw General Weilie take a look at us." ”

"yes, I just don't know who he's looking at."

……

After a moment of silence, everyone's eyes fell on Ling Xiaorou, and then they turned their heads in unison, letting out a disdainful 'hum' sound from their noses, and the hostility emitted was clearly felt even at other tables.

Ling Xiaorou was innocently hostile, and simply continued to bow her head and eat the refreshments on the plate, they were all a group of people who didn't know each other, and there would be no intersection in the future, so she didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Yao Mingzhu didn't seem to want to let go of Ling Xiaorou, still with that gentle and gentle look, but the words he said instantly doubled the hostility that Ling Xiaorou received, "Sister, General Ling was looking at you just now, right?" ”

Ling Xiaorou tilted her head, as if she was thinking about it very seriously, and then nodded, "It should be!" ”

Since love and hostility make you hostile enough, in fact, it is not bad to be envied and hated by many people like this, Ling Xiaorou couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, there is a handsome brother who makes women blush and heartbeat, it feels not bad.

However, Ling Feng has taken a fancy to such a character here, and she can't let him marry back, so let's play Infernal Affairs today, and take a good look at which one is suitable for her sister-in-law.

Yao Mingzhu didn't seem to give up, and made a look of envy, "My sister is really blessed, and my sister is envious." ”

Ling Xiaorou smiled faintly, took the chopsticks and braised chicken slices and put them in her mouth, the time for marinating was not enough, and the taste did not completely enter the chicken, it seems that it is in short supply for the New Year, and it must be emphasized in the future, even if you don't sell it, you can't sell this kind of thing that smashes the signboard.

Enraged by Ling Xiaorou's ignoring attitude, Yao Mingzhu lowered her head to hide the resentment in her eyes, how could a woman be so beautiful? The beauty made her ashamed of herself.

If she hadn't been there, she would have been the target of men's attention every time she was as beautiful as a lotus flower in the past, but today's appearance of Ling Xiaorou has taken the attention of most men, and even General Ling, who is now in the limelight in the capital, has taken a few more glances at her.

Thinking that a few days ago, her father asked someone to propose marriage to Ling Feng, but Ling Feng pushed him back on the grounds that he had just arrived in the capital and had not gained a stable foothold, how could she not understand that Ling Feng had not taken a fancy to her.

But why did Ling Feng want to put aside everyone and look at this girl alone? Don't you think she's beautiful?

Yao Mingzhu couldn't wait to tear Ling Xiaorou's beautiful face to shreds, and he didn't even dare to say the official position of his father and brother in the family, Bacheng was the daughter of a small official, thinking that by sneaking into the main hall, she would be able to attract the attention of officials above the fourth grade with her beauty.

Hmph, if you want to be beautiful, she must not let her be proud, and she must expose the fact that her status is low.

Soon, the hour came, and the emperor and the queen came side by side, followed by several concubines, and sat down in the chief of the main hall.

Li Xun said that the wind and rain of Dayan Country had been smooth this year, and he also talked about the major victories achieved in the war against Xiyi, and then encouraged the officials to make persistent efforts in the coming year.

Finally, with an order, the palace maids began to serve, with the experience of the last time, the spicy hot pot didn't have to say anything, and all the ingredients used in the shabu-shabu were served, and there was a small stove in front of each person.

Before the palace banquet, the officials also brought the spicy pot base and ingredients back to the house, although some people tried to make it, but the taste was not as good as what was eaten at the palace banquet, but in less than a month, the spicy hot pot was also popular in the capital, and the way to eat it was difficult to stop people.

After the hot pot was arranged, the palace maids served sixteen beautiful and amazing dishes, which attracted everyone's attention as soon as they were put on the table, especially the dragon auspicious clouds and the hundred birds and phoenixes on the table of the emperor and queen, which can be said to be the most eye-catching.

Whether it is Panlong Xiangyun or a hundred birds and a phoenix, it is breathtaking, the emperor does not need to say, he has always regarded himself as a real dragon, and no one dares to say that Panlong Xiangyun does not represent the emperor.

And the queen mother was frightened by the assassin that day, and her body has been unwell for the past few days, and she couldn't resist it after meeting her when she entered the palace in the afternoon, and this New Year's banquet didn't even show her face, but let the queen out of the limelight.

Even if those women in the palace are favored by the emperor again? Not just a bird of the phoenix? Only she is worthy of being called the supreme phoenix.

And which of the concubines who can attend the palace banquet on this occasion is not the lord of each palace? Seeing the queen's expression in her eyes, she is quite disapproving, and she can have a brighter face on this day all year round, so let her dream more!

Anyway, the emperor just stays with you at night, isn't he just sleeping with a quilt?

When a casserole with Buddha jumping over the wall is brought into the main hall, the smell of meat and gluttony can not be stopped even through the casserole, in front of such a strong taste, the beautiful and amazing food on the table is completely forgotten, almost everyone stretches their necks to see what kind of food can exude such an unforgettable aroma.

When the casserole was placed on the table and the lid was opened, the whole hall could no longer smell anything else, and everyone looked obsessed, looking at most of the familiar ingredients inside, and couldn't imagine how such a thing that is commonly eaten on weekdays can be stewed together to produce such a fragrance.

Compared to the salivating officials, the palace maids are the real pain, smelling arguably the most beautiful taste in the world, but they still try their best to pretend to be unmoved, holding a spoon in their hands to scoop the delicious food in the casserole into the bowl, what a strong endurance to hold back from dripping saliva into the bowl, Ling Xiaorou felt that she couldn't do this.
