"Good brother, at the critical moment, you still have to..."
Looking at the group of ministers who were hurriedly avoiding him like the god of plague, Liu Hongji could only turn his attention to Xiao Han, who was also isolated.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, he found that Xiao Han had taken out a piece of silk cloth from nowhere, and then covered his mouth and nose tightly!
"Damn! Shameless villain!" Looking at Xiao Han who dressed himself up like that bandit, Liu Hongji was stunned for a while, then cursed fiercely and walked forward angrily.
"I'm shameless? I don't even dislike you for being shameless and causing me trouble!" Behind him, Xiao Han took away the cloth covering his face and cursed in the same angrily manner.
Tai Chi Palace
It is similar to the palace night banquet in previous years, and this year it is the same process.
The boss of the ministers, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Lizi, first lamented the achievements of the Tang Dynasty this year, then encouraged all the ladies present, and finally looked forward to the future before announcing the official start of the banquet.
Compared with the so-called annual parties in later generations, which are so long-winded that no matter whether it is a mule or a horse, they have to be pulled around on the stage and then say a few words to make people urinate, this banquet, which can be called the highest standard in the Tang Dynasty, is much simpler.
.
Moreover, except for the few routine words that Xiao Lizi said at the beginning, no one mentioned the court and political affairs! Even Wei Zheng, who always loves to find fault with eggs, happily raised his glass to drink with others.
There was no trace of displeasure on his face.
Think about it, everyone has been working so hard for so long, isn't it just to have a good New Year? No matter what happens, it doesn't matter these last few days. If you jump out at this time, you are not focusing on serving the public, but
He was deliberately showing off himself.
"Hahaha! Thank you for your consideration, I would like to propose a toast to Mr. Lu!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Sir Song is very polite. Come on, let us drink this cup together!"
Because of the relaxation, the atmosphere of the night banquet reached its peak from the very beginning!
At this time, all the ministers in the palace, no matter how they usually have different political opinions or how tit-for-tat they are, at this moment, they all put on a hypocritical face! They clearly wanted to hack each other to death eight times, but they politely said
They are like good brothers who have known each other for eight years.
Among all the ministers, Xiao Han was very boring, quite boring!
Because of God damn Liu Hongji, everyone had to avoid him. Not to mention toasting, even to pass by, he had to go around several tables.
Seeing this, Xiao Han didn't bother to bother anyone, he just poured himself some wine and drank. In this way, it didn't take long for him to get drunk.
After three drinks and five dishes, Xiao Han, knowing that he had finished his business, stood up unsteadily. Seeing this, the drinking crowd in front immediately dispersed, as if they were afraid of being infected by him, and hid.
Far away.
When Xiao Han saw this, he didn't bother to care. He glanced at the people around him and walked out of the hall with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
outside the palace
I don't know when it started to snow heavily outside. Snowflakes fell from the sky and quickly covered the entire land, almost wrapping the entire world in pure white.
"Why is it snowing again!"
With a slight murmur, Xiao Han tightened his collar to prevent snowflakes from getting in through the gap in his collar.
He used to like snow very much, and he even liked the feeling of squeaking on the snow. For this reason, no one cleaned the snow in the Xiao family, just to make the snow more enjoyable for their owner.
However, after experiencing the avalanche in the Qinling Mountains, Xiao Han felt that he no longer liked snow as much as before!
Perhaps this is just like people, after being hurt by it once, no matter how you make up for it afterwards, you will never be able to go back to the beginning.
"Master Hou? Master Hou! Please walk slower!"
After exhaling a long breath, Xiao Han was about to walk down the steps when he heard a sharp voice suddenly coming from behind his ear.
"Eunuch Hong?" Xiao Han heard the voice and turned around in surprise, only to see Eunuch Hong, the emperor's most trusted servant, arriving behind him at some point.
"Haha, our family is paying tribute to Marquis Xiao!" Eunuch Hong was still smiling. He first bent down and saluted Xiao Han, then pointed to the side hall and said, "Your Majesty, they are waiting for you there."
"Oh, Your Majesty?" Xiao Han was stunned for a moment. He didn't notice that Eunuch Hong was talking about them. He just thought it was Xiao Lizi waiting for him, so he subconsciously asked again.
"Yes!" Eunuch Hong heard this, but he didn't say anything. He just gave Xiao Han a meaningful look and said, "Hurry up, Marquis Xiao. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!"
"Ah? Oh, okay!" Xiao Han looked at Eunuch Hong with drunken eyes. His head, which had just been awakened by the cold wind, suddenly became a little confused again, but his legs followed him involuntarily and walked to the side.
go.
Tai Chi Palace Side Hall
Different from the hustle and bustle in the main hall, this place seemed much quieter at this time. Except for a few occasional shouts and yells from next door, there was only the rustling of snowflakes blown by the cold wind onto the door and window paper.
"Where are the people?" Entering the side hall, Xiao Han blinked and looked around, but he didn't find Little Plum at all. When he was wondering, his nose suddenly moved, and he seemed to smell a vague aroma.
The fragrance is very fragrant! It comes from behind the curtains in the side hall. It smells like roasted sheep. Even if Xiao Han has just eaten a meal, his index finger is moving at this time and he can't help but follow the fragrance towards the curtains.
Then walked away.
"Hahaha! Let me just say this guy has a dog nose! Hahaha!!!"
He walked around the beams and opened the curtains. Before Xiao Han had time to see the scene in front of him clearly, a loud and wild laughter burst out from his ears!
Immediately afterwards, an arm with a strange smell stretched out from nowhere. Without any explanation, it grabbed Xiao Han and rushed forward!
"Let me go! I'm going to die, I'm going to die! People named Cheng, let go of labor and management!"
How could Xiao Han expect such a scene? His head didn't react for a moment. When he did, Cheng Yaojin had already taken him to a charcoal fire!
Here, a circle of red charcoal is burning vigorously, and a goat on the charcoal is roasted to a golden color. The clear fat drips from the goat's body onto the charcoal, creating beautiful sparks.
"You, you..."
Looking in astonishment at the roast sheep in front of him, as well as Cheng Yaojin, Li Shimin, Yu Chigong and others surrounding the roast sheep, Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and then tears instantly filled his eyes.
"Hahaha! This kid was so moved that he cried! Hahaha..." Cheng Yaojin looked at Xiao Han's appearance and laughed exaggeratedly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Han jumped up, staggered to the side and opened the window
Push away!
"I'm so moved! Barbecuing in the house in the middle of winter, and closing the doors and windows so tightly! What kind of bastard came up with this idea?!"
