21. The royal feast

After that day, Jiang Ci started to avoid cats and mice again, not only avoiding Su Yu during the day, but also not going back to the house for the night at night, and Su Yu was busy preparing for the banquet, so he couldn't find time to pay attention to him.

The chefs of the palace and the chefs of Guangxian Building are all matched, with a variety of dishes, all kinds of candied fruits, and they also brought Shen Fu's newly brewed chrysanthemum wine, which made Shen Fu a lot of nagging.

This time, Su Yu specially invited Su Ying and Li Xu, just waiting for a big drama to be staged.

On that day, the invited officials and family members entered the house one by one.

As Su Yu expected, most of the officials who came were official dependents, and half of the officials invited did not attend.

Su Yu set up the table in the center of the lake in the palace, there is a huge artificially dug lake in the palace of the king of Jin, it was built by the emperor two years before Jiang Ci returned to Beijing, and the name was taken by the table of Jiang Ci and named Changsong Lake.

After Jiang Ci moved in, he felt that the name was too embarrassing, so he abandoned the name and changed it to the same name as Yuqiu Lake and the lake in Jindi's hometown.

The bottom of Yuqiu Lake is covered with the phantom night stone from the Western Regions, this strange stone absorbs the daylight during the day, and at night, it will release the light that the day absorbs the foot together, the slight blue light passes through the lake, and the moonlight reflects each other, at night, people walk on the covered bridge, as if entering the fairyland.

"Yu'er."

Su Yu looked back, Shen Fu beckoned to her not far away, she smiled and blinked.

After a while, everyone entered the table under the leadership of the maid in the house, and Jiang Ci, who had been hiding for several days, finally appeared, and everyone saw him coming and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Today is the joy of my husband and wife for the newlywed, invite everyone to have fun, no formality, let's all sit."

"Thank you, princess."

Jin Si glanced at the maid behind her, and the maid led to leave, and after a while, the dish was served.

Su Yu's banquet was designed to be neither conventional nor old-fashioned, and it really didn't look like a formal banquet.

Everyone sits in the long pavilion in the lake, in front of them is an extremely long stone platform, full two-thirds of the length of the long pavilion, the stone platform is designed into a long "back" shape, the center of the stone platform and the stone wall of the periphery are kept parallel, the rest of the place is all chiseled into a groove, injected with clean water, and installed a mechanism, so that the water flows clockwise, forming a circular circulation flow of tiny artificial river.

At this time, several maidservants came forward with a dish tray and put the dishes on the water in turn, and the plate swayed a few times and floated on the water, slowly moving with the current.

Jiang Ci tilted his head slightly and whispered to Su Yu: "How can you use the fun method on this table?" I'm not afraid of those old antiques slandering you. ”

"What's the point of always being the same? It's going to be more interesting later, but it's too late for them to praise me. ”

"What's the explanation?"

Su Yu raised her eyebrows and smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you." ”

Not long after the banquet began, each family began to offer gifts, in the end it was to go to the banquet of the superiors, although some people avoided it, but the ceremony was to arrive, and the rare things from all over the world gathered in this moment.

Just as the two young people who had just entered the company were competing to perform in front of Jiang Ci, a pipa sound suddenly sounded on the other side of the lake.

Fingertips are clear, like a tune outside the sky, a moonside sound.

Attracted by the music, everyone returned to their seats and stared intently at the lake

A song rises suddenly, like the night of the flower dynasty, the flowers and dew dripping on the jade plate, the young children by the lake whisper, the lights of the long street are faint, and the moonlight is intoxicating and full of joy.

Suddenly, the lonely clouds in the air screamed, and the Kunpeng on the bottom of the sea soared, majestic and firm, the flying flakes stirred the green and the dark, and the twilight clouds under the wings dispersed.

After a hundred birds gathered, surrounded in the air, after a melodious and high-pitched phoenix song, the birds dispersed, a slight drizzle fell outside the city, after the rain was silent, the last kind of flowers quietly bloomed at night.

After the song was finished, the aftermath lingered, and everyone was immersed in it for a long time and couldn't come back to their senses.

At this time, a small boat slowly stopped at the side of the covered bridge.

After a while, Ning Yue walked down from the boat with the pipa in her arms.

The light blue light gauze wrapped her fair skin, her waist swayed lightly, inadvertently revealing a charming style, two thin white legs and fluttering with the skirt looming, and her ankles were covered with three-color garlands, and a few silver bells were tied to the garlands, and the bells rang crisply and knocked into the hearts of most of the people present.

"This is the top brand of Yanchun Building, the moon girl, extremely good rhythm, I specially invited to play music for everyone."

Ning Yue saluted in several directions.

Su Yu exchanged glances with Ning Yue and said, "Miss Ning Yue, continue to play music." ”

Ning Yue bowed slightly, sat in an exclusive position, her fingertips crossed the pipa, and the melodious and tactful sound of the piano entered everyone's ears from the pipa, and some people even closed their eyes and followed the beat.

"That's what you mean is more interesting?" Jiang Ci asked in a low voice.

Su Yu smiled with a smile in his eyebrows, looked at Jiang Ci and asked, "Isn't this interesting?" Look at the people you don't like with your wooden head, but some people like them."

Jiang Ci was speechless for a moment, and said in a flat tone: "You didn't kick her out?" ”

"I originally thought about it, but when I think about it, it's a pity that such an interesting person doesn't stay by his side."

Jiang Ci's expression became more and more strange when he heard this, and he stared at her and was about to speak, Su Yuhu chuckled.

"Teasing you, I look at her and feel sorry, so I want to help her change her livelihood so that she can live an ordinary life, it was originally arranged, but she suddenly told me..."

Su Yu turned her eyes to Ning Yue and said: "She said that she has lived a hard life for too long, and she has returned to an ordinary life, whether it is a businessman or a farmer, she is not reconciled, she wants to be a master, begging me to help her, as long as I can let her perform at this banquet, she will find her own way to do the rest." ”

"Figure it out yourself?" Jiang Ci pondered silently, the banquet set up by the Jin Palace, almost all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital city were gathered, unless they could enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, it would be difficult to find a second opportunity to get to know the dignitaries and dignitaries like today, and it was a loud calculation.

"So you're going to help her."

"That's right." Su Yu's face was full of sincerity, "She said how sincere, of course she has to help." ”

In fact, Su Yu also put her own interests in it, Ning Yue wants to climb the power and get out of the lowly status, that gang is not a difficult thing, no matter where Ning Yue is in the future, it will be beneficial to her, if there is a critical moment, it may be a help, Ning Yue is a hidden move for her, and it is also a dangerous move.

Hidden has nothing to do with it, it can be used at any time, or it can never be used, the danger is that Ning Yue has no loyalty to her, maybe she doesn't even have gratitude, some only have the heart of use, because she can't catch the big fish of Jiang Ci, so she uses her power to put the hook into the fish.

Such a person made her feel appreciative, which was also one of the reasons why she was willing to help Ning Yue, she was really curious about what Ning Yue could do.

Suddenly, a hand covered her forehead, she looked at Jiang Ci, Jiang Ci was also looking at her, the corners of her mouth were hooked with a beautiful arc, and the special amber eyes looked particularly beautiful under the interplay of lake light and candle flames.

Jiang Ci removed his hand and stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped Su Yu's forehead three times: "Knock knock, the stupidity is about to disperse, Yu'er, your expression is too stupid." ”

Su Yu was stunned, and then pushed Jiang Ci's hand away: "You are stupid." ”

She looked at the wine cup on the table, and wondered if it was because she had drunk some wine, but at this moment she had a feeling that she had never felt before.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise on the table.

Su Yu looked for the past, and just looked at Li Xu for a moment, Li Xu apologized to the officials beside him, and the man stood up and wiped the wine stains on his body, while laughing and saying to Li Xu that it didn't matter.

Su Yu searched around by looking at her head, and finally stopped at Su Ying, she retracted her gaze and smiled slightly, when the people who should have arrived have arrived, the stage can be set up.

When the banquet was almost underway, Su Yu proposed to gather separately, so that the family members would have a chance to talk to each other.

This was also arranged by Su Yu a long time ago, Jiang Ci and the officials stayed here, and Su Yu took the family members on the table to the garden on the palace.

In the garden, Su Yu had already prepared fruits, candied fruits, and chrysanthemum wine brewed by Shen Fu.

"Today I just want to invite everyone to have fun, regardless of identity, just as a gathering between sisters, don't be formal."

"The princess is right."

Su Yu looked around and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen some sisters and sisters, I heard that the daughter of Lord Shi Yin has a beautiful heart, I don't know if I'm here today?" ”

A woman dressed in a dark dress, dressed in a plain but very well-dressed, stood up and walked out.

"Yin Xiaoru, the daughter of Yin Wei, the servant of Shi Yinwei, visited Princess Jin."

The woman's etiquette is dignified, and she looks mature and steady.

"Not long ago, I unexpectedly met the son of the Yin family, the two of you are really very different, if it weren't for the similarity in appearance, I wouldn't dare to believe that you are a family."

Yin Xiaoru's movements were a little stiff, and she bowed her head and said: "My brother has been stubborn since he was a child, which made the princess smile." ”

"True temperament, not a laugh." Su Yu raised her hand and made a gesture of please, "Don't be formal, take a seat, when I see Miss Yin today, I feel that it is better to be famous than to meet, Lord Yin is really a good goddaughter." ”

"Courtier, thank you princess for your praise."

Several noble girls who already hated Yin Xiaoru became even more hostile after listening to Su Yu's words, and more than a dozen eyes glared at Yin Xiaoru viciously one after another.

Of course, Su Yu didn't miss this

Peach blossoms decorate the peach blossom surface, and the eaves are upturned and the swallows are walked.

The pink sedan chair rides the pink lady, and the wishful man in the wishful account.

The acacia wine is put into the acacia intestines, and the mandarin duck is slept under the mandarin duck.

Lovesickness is difficult to cross lovesickness, but infatuation buries infatuation.

However, walking at both ends of the bridge, I am not a fellow traveler from then on.

The dark paper breeze chases the sun and the moon,

Dry bones and white hands dotted their lips.

Who passed on the boy's dream of life and death,

Feast on the yellow sorghum pillow.

The red forest beckons the sunset, and the clear water sends stratus clouds.

I am worried about my feelings, I am worried about the day and day, and I am busy thinking about it at night.

When I first met you in the flower dynasty, I gave you a sincere heart, and I always accompanied you every year, and I only remembered you in my life.
