The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 229 The Palace Banquet Begins

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated!"

At this time, the father-in-law in charge spoke in a sharp voice. After seeing the admiration in the eyes of these picky ladies and ladies, the father-in-law in charge knew that they were very satisfied with the arrangement of the New Year's Eve dinner.

Everyone was about to take their seats, but found that Yao Jia, Mu Shuyao, and Gu Luoer had already arrived at the Royal Garden one step ahead. At this moment, the three of them were sitting in their seats, quietly admiring the snow scene in front of them.

"Look at the peacock fur cloak worn by Princess Yuexi. This is a tribute this year. It is the only one in the world. It is woven with peacock wool satin and inlaid gold thread. It is not easy to get. But it’s a priceless treasure! Now it’s worn on Princess Yuexi’s body, which shows that the emperor still loves the eldest princess’s family very much after all!”

This time it was Zou Yu, the wife of Mrs. Wang's half-brother Wang Jiayuan who spoke this time. As the servant of the household department, Wang Jiayuan naturally knew all about these tributes. As his wife, Zou Yu was also the daughter of an imperial merchant. Since I was a child, I have been exposed to many such precious treasures, so I am naturally talking about them now.

Hearing her words, Mu Yanran, who had already changed into clean clothes, glanced at Mu Shuyao and Yao Jia unintentionally, with a trace of provocation and pride in her eyes.

The Meng family and the others naturally noticed Mu Yanran's small actions. For such a person, who is also a junior, even if they argue with him, it will only lower their own status.

But Mu Shuyao is not the one who suffers. Seeing Zou deliberately mentioning the emperor's favor to the eldest princess's family in front of her, a faint sneer gradually appeared on the corner of Mu Shuyao's mouth, and she gave Mu Yanran a cold look, without flinching at all. In other words, he looked at Mrs. Zou again.

Zou's mouth tightened suddenly, and then he remembered that Mu Yanran was punished to kneel just now, and because her mother was reprimanded by Princess Yuexi, she looked away in embarrassment, and shut up and stopped talking about it.

Everyone wanted to listen to what Zou had to say, but it was obvious that she was silent at this moment, and they all sat down at their table in a somewhat dispirited manner.

But Mu Shuyao and Yao Jia looked at each other, but sighed in her heart, this princess's name is really useful, she just glanced at Zou Shi with her eyes, which made her calm down a lot.

After a while, Luo Yun, Luo Hui, Luo Zhao, Chu Yuchen and others led all the officials in one after another.

?A group of ladies behind the curtain looked at the men who entered the arena, and they all blushed. But today, there is a curtain in front of them, so they don't care about being shy. They stare at the man they like with wide eyes, carefully Looking carefully, a satisfied smile could not help but emerge from the corner of his mouth.

And those wives kept their eyes open and looked for young talents who could match their own daughters in the crowd, and then secretly wrote down the name of the other party, and after returning home, they would carefully investigate and understand.

And the envoys of the Hu Huan clan entered the arena after Baiguan.

The head of the clan, Mei Ankun, and the saint of the clan stepped into the imperial garden with deep eyes.

Finally, the empress and the four concubines of Guishu Dexian entered the arena.

After everyone paid their respects, everyone in Luo Dynasty waved their hands and said: "Today is New Year's Eve, so let's temporarily waive those red tapes, and let Hu Huan's friends have a good experience of my Tianli's New Year's Eve."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone thanked them.

Mei Ankun looked at Luo Huang again, and then followed Jin Bao to sit on the seats prepared for his group.

After everyone was seated, Luo Huang raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Hu Huan's envoys came from afar, I respect the patriarch and the princess."

Mei Ankun's eyes immediately shot towards Luo Huang, with a faint sneer in his cold eyes, but he did not refuse, and together with Mei Duo who was beside him raised his glass to Luo Huang, and the three of them drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in their hands together.

"Hiss...why is this wine so sweet and greasy? Your Majesty, don't you have strong wine in Tianli? The fruit wine we drink at Hu Huan's daughter's house is ten times stronger than this wine. How can we let us drink this wine? This is not an insult." Us? Or is it that the emperor looked down on Hu Huan and deliberately mocked us with wine?"

As soon as they drank the wine, before everyone's glasses were put down, a strong man in his thirties in the envoy group shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Seventh brother, don't be unreasonable." Mei Ankun gave a sip, then cupped his hands towards Luo Huang and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, my seventh brother is used to strong alcohol and speaks freely. I hope the emperor will not be offended."

"Where, the patriarch is being too polite. Brother, this is a true temperament, so there is no offense. Come here, and replace Hu Huan's envoy with Luzhou Fragrant Wine." Luo Huang smiled very naturally, as if the other party was just begging for a drink. juniors.

It was only half a cup of tea, and ten court ladies walked into the imperial garden with prepared spirits, and put the wine in their hands in front of Mei Ankun and others.

"Don't your majesty, ladies and gentlemen, not drink this wine? It's too unfair!" At this time, the envoy started to criticize again, and saw that he stared at the poured wine in front of him but didn't pick it up. His face sank and he looked at Luo Huang, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Don't the Seventh Prince know that strong alcohol can hurt your body? It's no wonder. It is said that Hu Huan is located in a severe cold area, and the snow does not melt all day long. No wonder he wants to use strong alcohol to warm up." At this time, Chu Yuchen smiled and said. .

At this moment, the sun had already set in the west, and a round of bright moon had already hung on the branches. The moon-white light sprinkled on the ground, reflecting the coldness in Chu Yuchen's smiling eyes.

However, the palace people had already prepared to light the glazed palace lanterns, embellishing the entire imperial garden like daylight. At the moment when the red candle was beating, there was a jump in Chu Yuchen's eyes, which made people feel His eyes were full of smiles, hiding the slightest coldness.

"Li Wang is really eloquent! However, even if we warm up with wine, it will only make our determination stronger. Unlike the flowers and plants living in the warm room, they will wither when they encounter wind and rain." Mei An Kun took the words with a cold face.

The implication is that everyone in Tianli is like flowers in a greenhouse, vulnerable to a single blow.

And if Luo Huang didn't hear the irony in Mei Ankun's words, he waved his hands and said, "Go to the singing and dancing."

The eunuch was an old man who followed Luo Huang, so he could guess Luo Huang's mood at this time, so he immediately gestured towards the little eunuch who was guarding outside the imperial garden.

Immediately there was a burst of joyful music in the imperial garden, and several dancers walked in through the round door with extremely light steps. The enchanting figure and charming appearance, not to mention men, even Women will also be very envious when they see it.

It's just that although these dancers are beautiful, their status has always been low. Although the official ladies can't see their soft figures, graceful dancing postures, and deceptive smiles, they don't show too much hostility.

But the men were different. They were used to watching well-behaved wives and wives at home. Now when they saw the charming dancers, their eyes would naturally shine green.
