This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 144 Before the Banquet

When the emperor celebrates his birthday, the ostentation cannot be the same as that of ordinary people. The schedule arranged by the Twelfth Supervisor and the Ministry of Rituals alone is seven days long. After all, it is the [-]th birthday, so the style cannot be lowered.

Lu Hanjiang is also very powerful, his name must be on the roster of the palace banquet. Every day the palace banquet is roughly divided into two sessions. At noon, the officials and celebrities are invited. The dinner is the emperor's family banquet, and all the princes and relatives are invited.

So in simple terms, with the rank of Lu Hanjiang's governor, he can probably have a meal in the palace the first day, and Mr. Meng can probably eat for a week, um, he has a good appetite.

Today Lu Hanjiang had no choice but to get up early, Lao Qian solemnly arranged his clothes and clothes, and then rode to Commander Meng's house. Those who are new to this kind of thing are inexperienced, so naturally they need to find a reliable person to take him with him. .

I am used to seeing Lu Hanjiang's lazy and leisurely appearance, it is rare to see him so serious once, which makes Meng Yuan feel a little bit emotional.

"Let's go, today you will be by the old man's side, don't gossip, don't care about other things."

"understand."

Meng Yuan also went out on horseback, although as an old man, even if he parked a carriage and waited at the gate of the palace, no one would dare to comment.

The two of them got off their horses all the way to the gate of the palace. Many high-ranking officials and ministers had already gathered here. After all, when the emperor held a banquet was a matter of regulation, and when these courtiers came, it was a matter of attitude.

Lu Hanjiang looked at it at a glance. Although the scene was not crowded, it was still full of autumn leaves, more or less a large area.

More than [-]% of the people attending the banquet today are elders with gray hair on the temples. People who are so young and ridiculously young like him are among them, and they really stand out from the crowd.

Naturally, Mr. Meng's reputation will never be lacking. As soon as he arrived here, he attracted everyone's attention. When he dismounted from his horse, ministers came forward to say hello, and his words were very respectful.

And Lu Hanjiang, who came with Meng Yuan, was naturally seen by the adults, and after whispering to each other, they probably knew his details.

According to official official records, Lu Hanjiang is a middle-aged man in his early forties, but only looks young. However, in reality, he is a young man in his twenties. What kind of panacea is so outrageous.

Because Lu Hanjiang's appearance and records are so far apart, he also enjoyed the feeling of Meng Yuan's attention today.

I don't know how long I waited, but when Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but started yawning, an eunuch walked out of the palace gate and announced loudly that he could enter the palace.

Walking through a piece of Qionglou Yuyu, and admiring the Guidianlan Palace, everyone was led to today's banquet hall, the Taihuang Palace. This towering palace is majestic and magnificent, and the beautiful decoration is like a fairyland on earth. There are all kinds of treasures, and the priceless screens are randomly placed like piles of sundries, which makes Lu Hanjiang full of emotion.

The hierarchy is orderly, and it is inconvenient for Lu Hanjiang to follow Meng Yuan when he arrives here. He is a close minister and a relative, and he is only a stone's throw away from the emperor.

Lu Hanjiang is just a pacifier from the fourth rank, so it is naturally impossible to sit so far ahead.

However, as a fourth-rank official, Lu Hanjiang was personally led by the eunuch with palm prints, and he was very kind to ask about his health along the way. The old man who offered wine to the Imperial College over there was only accompanied by a little father-in-law, with a stern face as if someone owed him It's like money.

This made the old man who sacrificed wine look at Lu Hanjiang very unkindly, Lu Hanjiang was speechless, you always have the ability to stare at Commander Meng, why are you angry at him.

In order not to stare blankly at the old man, Lu Hanjiang told the leading eunuch to go to the toilet. The chief eunuch readily summoned the maid to lead the way.

Lu Hanjiang followed the taciturn maidservant to the place of reincarnation of the five grains. After he packed up and came out, the little maid disappeared and was replaced by a little girl carved from jade. Her skin was as smooth as snow, and her red lips were red without spots. Petite and exquisite, very cute.

He glanced back at the bathroom wonderingly, then turned back to the little girl and asked, "Is there only one changing place in this palace city?"

The little girl seemed to understand what he meant, her little face was blushed, and she pointed at Lu Hanjiang with a light-white finger and flew up and down, and she stumbled and said: "You, you, stop, Ben. I have something to ask you !"

Lu Hanjiang doesn't have any special hobbies, and he has no interest in this kind of young girl who hasn't grown up. Besides, he is not stupid, so he has guessed the details of this girl to some extent.

Although there were ministers and family members entering the palace today to celebrate, they were not in the same palace as them. The huge palace city is not really poor, so there is only one place to relax. Besides, this little girl is dressed in jewels and emeralds. The palace maid is much more gorgeous, most likely she is a noble person like a princess.

So based on what Meng Yuan told him when he arrived, Lu Hanjiang planned to pretend to be stupid. He shook his hands at the little girl in disgust, and said: "A little palace maid dares to question me, why don't you get out of the way quickly, me I still have to go to the banquet."

The little girl was annoyed for a while, and then secretly happy in her heart. It was easier for her to be mistaken for a palace maid, so instead of getting out of the way, she stopped in front of Lu Hanjiang, pretended to cough twice, and said : "I'm from the imperial concubine's palace. My empress sent me here. I have something to ask you."

There is only one noble concubine in the palace, and that is Commander Meng Yuan's younger sister.

If it was someone else, Lu Hanjiang pulled his face and talked nonsense, but he really couldn't avoid this one, so he had no choice but to retract his stretched foot.

"I don't know what orders the empress has?" Lu Hanjiang asked helplessly.

The little girl happily stood there with her hips on her hips, raised her face and asked, "Let me ask you, did Lu Zhenfu come into the palace today?"

Lu Hanjiang frowned, with a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Your Majesty's birthday banquet, Mr. Lu is naturally here."

"Okay, you call him here, I, the imperial concubine, wants to see him." The little girl almost slipped her tongue.

Lu Hanjiang oops, and said in embarrassment: "Lord Lu is a foreign minister, so I'm afraid it's not suitable for etiquette."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then you call him, and I can come and see him."

"I don't know what my majesty wants to see Mr. Lu. If it's nothing serious, I'll let the officials pass it on for me." At this time, Lu Hanjiang still couldn't see that the girl was pulling tiger skins, so she was blind, but he was too lazy to expose it. .

"It's nothing serious. Oh, forget it."

The little girl was discouraged, pouted her lips in frustration, and after a long while raised her head to look at Lu Hanjiang and asked, "Let me ask you, what does Lu Zhenfu look like?"

This question really stumped Lu Hanjiang. He thought for a long time in silence before he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty Lu is a noble tree, with an extraordinary appearance. Humble, and all in all, a nice guy."

"Pooh."

The little girl didn't give any face, she said unhappily: "Then Lu Zhenfu is in his forties, and he said that the jade tree is facing the wind, you must have taken his favor to speak for him like this!"
