Flowers are expensive

Chapter 402 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet 2
Qi Xiang smiled at Yuan Yin and said, "Brother, Mr. Zhang is such a rare talent! He was born as the number one scholar, and his literary talents are naturally outstanding, and he has been in Yushitai. He is good at monitoring impeachment! How about such a good talent? It's a pity to close it!"

Yuan Yin glanced at Zhang Xianchu coldly and said: "Since Mr. Zhang has come to Jingyou City, there are a few words that I have to remind you."

"My lord please show me!"

"This king has always disliked those people who think they are terribly bad and insidious, but in fact they are as stupid as pigs. If they want to be bad, they have to be so bad that they are so bad that this king is interested Just clean him up. Otherwise—” The small wine glass in Yuan Yin’s hand clicked lightly and broke into several petals, “Otherwise, I’ll be a coward honestly, maybe this king can still Forgive him, do you understand?"

Zhang Xianchu's face changed slightly, but he still saluted and said, "I understand!"

"That's all right," Yuan Yin threw the fragments in Zhang Xianchu's feet, turned to You Xian'er and said, "Nurse, let's start the banquet! Take out all the gifts brought by Mr. Zhang and share them with everyone!"

You Xian'er opened the table, and the maids and servants began to bring wine and serve food in an orderly manner.After the banquet, generals or officials kept coming to toast to Yuan Yin. Yuan Yin never refused to come, taking a sip of a glass, just like going through the process, and then leaned on the back of the chair, watching everyone eating and drinking leisurely.

In this banquet, the wine is the protagonist, and the delicacies are just decorations.The men took the opportunity to chat with each other and chat about interesting things, and the family members around them also followed the rules. From time to time, they thoughtfully served their husbands with a chopstick dish, and occasionally ate a little by themselves, and spent the rest of the time chatting with the woman next to them. .

Xixi had already expected this to be the case. Looking at the table of good things in front of him, they were all made by himself after busy work in the afternoon, and it turned out to be nothing more than a display.It's such a hot day and there is no refrigerator, so it will probably be discarded tomorrow, what a waste!Sure enough, a foodie child can't afford to be hurt!Others drank happily, but she wailed for these delicacies here!
Suddenly, Yuan Yin kicked her, she put down the chopsticks that hadn't moved much, turned her head and asked, "What are you doing?"

"You want me to get drunk? Give me a bowl of soup."

Xixi filled a bowl of soup, handed it to him and said with a smile: "Are you also afraid of getting drunk? Didn't you say that you would never get drunk after drinking a thousand cups last time?"

Yuan Yin didn't pick up the bowl, but just looked at her and said, "Don't you count how many people are there today? A drink for each person can make your husband five points drunk. Besides, do you think a drink can drive them away?"

"Poor baby," Xixi said with a grimace at him, "drink this soup quickly and eat something to rest on, maybe it will be better!"

Yuan Yin still didn't answer, just looked at her with a half smile.She blinked, tilted her head and asked, "You won't let me feed you?"

"Isn't this what you should do?" Yuan Yin said confidently.

"Isn't it? You don't have hands?" Xixi was embarrassed.

In fact, when the two of them are alone, Xixi likes to feed Yuan Yin, and basically feeds Yuan Yin whatever is in his mouth.But the problem is, she is not the kind of person who is exaggerated enough to show her affection everywhere. When there are too many people, she will not do this kind of thing, and she always has a bit of reserve.

"What's wrong? Do you want to get me drunk?" Yuan Yin said that again.

Xixi is a little speechless, it seems that this master made up his mind to pretend to be disabled today!She found that Yuan Yin was easy to get along with when there were few people, but when there were more people, Prince Zhao really showed his style.Xixi can only say silently in her heart, okay, master, the little girl will show your father's face for now, and I will deal with you later!What has become of the little girl?Feeding soup and accompanying wine, what kind of business is that?well!

But after feeding Yuanyin a few spoonfuls, Xixi felt that the eyes around her made her very uncomfortable, and everyone looked at her with piercing eyes, just like looking at cherished animals.She bit the bullet and finished feeding the soup, and finally took a breath. Just when she picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat as if nothing had happened, Yuan Yin kicked her lightly again, saying: "It's not that you want me to eat something to rest Huh? Something?"

Xixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she twisted her body and patted his leg once, and said, "Are you finished yet? Do you really think you are an uncle?"

"I want to eat that guinea chicken ball, hurry up."

"Pick it yourself! Your two claws are not broken!"

"I'm drunk and you serve me, drunk people are not easy to serve, choose yourself!" Yuan Yin said lightly, shaking his legs.

Xixixu squinted her eyes, freed her hand to twist Yuanyin's thigh, moved a little closer and said, "Don't go too far, Zhao Yuanyin, accept as soon as you see it, you know? My girl's patience is also limited!"

"Fried meat balls." Yuan Yin looked at her with eyes that I just wanted to eat meat balls.

"Hold it yourself!"

"You pinch."

"Your claws are not broken!"

"broken."

"Who are you coaxing? You were so energetic just now holding the wine glass!"

"It's just broken."

"It's not bad!"

"broken."

"It's not broken! It's not broken!" Xixi said shaking her head.

"It's broken." Than patience, Xixi is not Yuan Yin's opponent.

"Zhao Yuanyin, you are bullying!"

"I admit that I bullied you, hurry up, fried meatball."

The two just quarreled like this.Yuan Yin actually didn't like this kind of banquet very much, he was bored and wanted to play with Xixi to pass the time.But Xixi was more serious, completely immersed in the bickering with Yuan Yin, and didn't notice the strange eyes around her at all.

The two looked like an extremely loving couple flirting.Yuan Yin still showed a little smile from time to time, pinching Xixi's arm, the eyes of the generals, officials and family members below were all wide open, whispering to each other, trying to guess who Xixi was.

Sitting on the mirror platform to the right of You Xian'er could only pretend not to see it, silently drinking her wine with her head down, while Tang Xuanzhen, who was sitting behind You Xian'er, couldn't help but cast her eyes at the two of them, the more she watched, the more she felt the pain in her heart. There is an indescribable jealousy.

At this moment, Butler Zeng brought up a booklet and handed it to You Xia'er.You Xian'er glanced at it, closed the booklet and called Yuan Yin.Yuan Yin was arguing with Xixi, but he didn't hear it at all.Yin Luo, who was sitting at the side of the table with Xixi's left hand, smiled and said: "I'm afraid Ma'am should be louder, this young couple is having a fight!"

One sentence made everyone in Zhou Zhou laugh.When Xixi heard the laughter, she felt a little embarrassed, and when she was about to draw back her body to get away from Mr. Zhao, Yuan Yin reached out and grabbed her shoulder, hugged her, put his chin in the socket of her shoulder, lazily Chao You Xian'er asked: "What's the matter?"

You Xian'er smiled and said: "I handed over the brochure stuffed with smoke and rain, it's time to ask someone to come out to help the fun. But I have a suggestion, it's better to let Xuan Zhen come out to warm up the scene, she can play the piano well Tell everyone to see my goddamn girl, Yuan Yin, what do you think?"

"It's up to you." Yuan Yin doesn't care, it doesn't matter who comes out to add to the fun, anyway, he can play with Xixi, so he is not afraid that it will be difficult to pass the time.

Hearing this, Tang Xuanzhen got up and came out, curtseyed to Yuan Yin and said: "Thanks to the prince for not giving up, Xuanzhen will show her shame!"

"Miss Tang is really going to make a fool of herself!" Zhuang Yunxian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Miss Tang doesn't know something? There is a qin fairy sitting here, who was praised by the previous emperor. If Miss Tang is not as skilled People, it seems a bit tricky."

When Yin Luo heard this, he knew that he was going for her.Without waiting for Tang Xuanzhen to answer, she answered with a smile: "Madam Zhuang still remembers this? The word "Qin Xian" was just given by the former emperor at will when he was in high spirits. How can I really afford this?" What about two words? Besides, today is the night of the full moon and reunion, everyone enjoys drinking and drinking together, and gather together, and it is not a big exam like an imperial examination in front of the palace. You say that, and it makes Miss Tang nervous."

"I'm just reminding Miss Tang. Miss Tang has skills, so why would she be nervous?"

"Speaking of skills, I just admired the paintings painted by Mrs. Zhuang Jia. They are really good, and ordinary little painters can't compare with them at all! I just asked Mrs. You if I could give two of them to you. Ben Gong hangs it in the living room of Ben Gong to show off, now that I talk about it, Ben Gong has a good idea, I don't know what Prince You wants?"

"Say." Yuan Yin said lightly.

"Since Mrs. Zhuang's family has such a good skill, why don't you take advantage of the reunion night, when the moon is full and people are happy, accompanied by Miss Tang's piano, and make another one impromptu? After it is finished, I will personally send someone to deliver it Go to Bianjing City and show it to the emperor, so that the emperor can have a glimpse of the scene of enjoying the joy with all the soldiers in the prince's mansion tonight, and the emperor will be very pleased. What does the prince think, what is the palace's proposal?"

Asking Zhuang Yunxian to paint in public is not to flatter her, but to belittle her.Tang Xuanzhen's identity is nothing more than You Xian'er's daughter-in-law, not high class, and if Zhuang Yunxian is to accompany her to paint impromptuly, everyone can hear what Yin Luo is implying.But she is also a concubine, so she put on airs to say these words, which is not unreasonable at all, but won Zhang Xianchu's applause.

That Zhang Xianchu complimented: "Your Majesty, this suggestion is very good! In this way, I will not disappoint the prince who arranged this banquet quietly tonight. If the emperor sees this painting, he will be very happy! Good proposal! Good proposal! !"

Zhuang Yunxian sat without moving, as if she was very reluctant.She just wanted to be quick with her tongue for a while, but she underestimated the tact and accident that Yin Luo had practiced in the palace.Yin Luo picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely, squinted at Zhuang Yunxian, and sent her four words in her heart: Overthinking one's abilities!
"Hey, what's the matter? Madam sister-in-law is unwilling?" Zhang Xianchu turned his head and smiled at Zhuang Yunxian, "This is a great opportunity! Think about it, it's a great thing to be able to present your paintings to the emperor Ah! If the emperor is happy, maybe he will give you something good!"

When Bingcan was about to open his mouth to rescue Zhuang Yunxian, Xixi said: "If I had known that the empress dowager could order Sister Zhuang to paint, I wouldn't have had to spend so much effort on us yesterday afternoon! The empress dowager is still very powerful. Excuse me, does Sister Zhuang dare not to draw? Pity me, Suying, and those little girls, who almost died of being tormented by Sister Zhuang!"

Yin Luo didn't expect that Xixi would speak suddenly, and the word "order" made her quite ruthless and unreasonable, as if she was putting on a concubine's airs to overwhelm others.She hurriedly turned her head and smiled at Xixi: "This palace is just a suggestion, how can it be called an order? Whether you want it or not is up to the prince to decide."

"That's a good proposal!" Xixi nodded vigorously, and said to Yin Luo, "If I had known that the empress admired Sister Zhuang so much, I should have invited the empress yesterday afternoon, which saved us a lot of time! Don't you You know, how pretentious our sister Zhuang is when she draws a picture. For a while, the brush is wrong, and she needs large, medium and small Huizhou Langhao. Oh, oh, that's a hassle! Finally, guess what happened?"

Yin Luo frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"After we got the things ready, she said that she was thirsty and wanted to eat iced lychee ice cake, but she couldn't draw it if she didn't eat it, and she had to eat something made by Bingshuai. My mother, you said it was complicated or not But our sister Zhuang said that painting also has to pay attention to the right time, place and people, as well as the state of mind, feeling, and charm. I don’t understand, and I have never learned to paint. Fortunately, I I haven't learned it before, if I were tossing around like that, our Zhao Yuanyin would have kicked me out of the house long ago, how can I be as patient as Bingshuai and actually make lychee ice cake!"
