50. Birthday Banquet and Poetry

"Of course it's impossible. Yuzhuang is so secretive. No matter how hard I try, I can't turn into a roundworm in Yuzhuang's belly."

He sat up and stretched his almost lazy arms. Only one second passed. Leng Yuhan stood in front of Mo Yuzhuang. He raised Mo Yuzhuang's chin with one hand, leaned down and pressed it against her. He kissed her lightly in the evening.

Out of the clouds, he evacuated quietly and elegantly, leaving only a hint of the rich fragrance of a woman's body.

"Yan'er never confessed to the prince in Gui Yuzhuang?"

The fragrance of a woman's lips exudes pure color and allure like beautiful jade.

Mo Yuzhuang hugged the woman's body and caressed her slender waist.[

He never realized that what a woman hid from him was as blurry and scattered as a poppy. Inadvertently, it had been buried so deeply that it was beyond his control. He was caught off guard and unable to deal with it.

Youtang is a powerful force in the dark world of Huangfeng, and has been the leader of the dark world in the female country for a long time.

Mo Yuzhuang didn't want women to know that she was such a cold-blooded person who had to hide in the dark, so she never told women her true identity.

Only that time, his eyes were stained with blood by Shangguan Linqi, which exposed the identity of the young master of Youtang in Jianghu and ruined his appearance as a well-behaved and docile man in the eyes of women.

"How could it be? If Yuzhuang hadn't sacrificed his life back then, how could I have been transformed today?"

The man's slender fingertips clasped around his waist, through the brocade velvet silk material, convey the man's growing body temperature.

Leng Yuhan fell into the man's chest, stretched out his hand to rub the tightly tied cloud flower plate buckle on his chest, raised his lips, and murmured words, the fragrant orchid breath passed through the man's collar weakly and softly, and was carried to the tip of the woman's tongue.

The burning heat caused Mo Yuzhuang's breath to become turbulent and swaying. She had a face as beautiful as a fairy, and her dizziness grew. She shyly hugged the woman's body and pointed at her wrists.

"Yuzhuang, do you still remember the heart I gave you?"

Resisting the tenderness of the man, who was as light as water, Leng Yuhan broke away from Mo Yuzhuang's arms, pushed open the window pavilion with his bare hands, waved his sleeves to stir up the green leaves outside the window, and rolled up a trace of coolness from the falling rain.

"Um."

The cool rain and dew hit Mo Yu's blushing face, harshly reflecting Mo Yu's shy look with bright red makeup.

Women have never allowed her to act boldly during the day. Mo Yuzhuang has been with Shi Hanyan for so many years, and he has never seen a woman show her tenderness. Now, after a small step out of line, Mo Yuzhuang is naturally

The charming moon is charming, and the reflection is like silk.

"I am serious about you."

Regardless of Shi Hanyan's memories or his own thoughts, Leng Yuhan could no longer let himself ignore Mo Yuzhuang's existence like Shi Hanyan did before.

Since fate has dictated that Mo Yuzhuang be the royal husband of Dahuang Kingdom, then we should simply follow fate and let each other's lives be entangled until death, with no chance to let go.

"A lifetime of honor and disgrace, never to be relinquished?"

My heart was pounding, and the ripples were forming circles around me.

There was uneasy suspicion in Mo Yuzhuang's eyes, mixed with a hint of joy and eagerness. She lowered her eyes and asked with lowered eyebrows.

"I am sailing alone, I wonder if Yuzhuang is willing to go with me?" [

Holding Mo Yuzhuang's hand and spreading it open, Leng Yuhan silently wrote the word "anti" in Mo Yuzhuang's hand.

"Yan'er?"

Unable to hide the surprise in her eyes, Mo Yuzhuang hurriedly covered Leng Yuhan's mouth, pressed the back of Leng Yuhan's hand into her sleeve, and looked out the window at the corner of the courtyard where a figure seemed to flash past.

"What this king said is true. Yuzhuang, if I am the emperor, you must be the queen! This oath can be made by the sun and the moon, but it is verified by the gods of heaven and earth. It will not change in my life. If he abandons the court, I am willing to accept it.

The pain of thunder and rain is gone, and there is no place to die!"

Giving Mo Yuzhuang an extremely firm look, Leng Yuhan, like a modern gentleman, lowered his head and kissed Mo Yuzhuang's palm, sealing his love with a kiss.

"Yan'er

Pulling the woman into his arms, Mo Yuzhuang's eyes were filled with mist.

My Yan'er, are you willing to admit yourself?

Then what about the seventeen years of meager living that I have been doing?

After three banquet cannons were fired, Leng Yuhan appeared in the banquet hall wearing a birthday red formal suit, followed by Mo Yuzhuang with red and swollen eyes like peach.

Birthday etiquette in ancient times was rather complicated.

As the ninth son of the imperial family of the female kingdom, Shi Hanyan has the same status as the current empress.

Therefore, within three days before and after the birthday banquet of the Nine Kings of Huangzhao, no important criminals of the court are allowed to be executed, and no livestock is slaughtered. The so-called "carrying life" means to carry life.

When the five drums outside the Huangfu Mansion have been beaten, all the officials and guests who came to pay their respects will go to the longevity banquet hall in the palace to pay their respects. The nine kings of the Huanghuan Palace must enter the banquet hall in court attire amidst the music of Huangfeng and Qingyue.

In order, the prelude to the birthday banquet includes music, worshiping the emperor's ancestors, and other activities. Finally, the ministers who come to congratulate the emperor present birthday gifts in turn.

After all the courtiers have presented their birthday gifts, it is the turn of the Nine Kings to entertain the ministers and guests.

Because Leng Yuhan felt that the first three steps were too boring and uninteresting, and did not satisfy the ministers, he ordered people to skip the first three procedures directly, leaving only the section of presenting birthday gifts.

The officials who came to pay their respects formed a long queue in front of the birthday table in the accounting room, as if queuing up to buy tickets.

Leng Yuhan looked around and saw that among the hundreds of officials who came to congratulate him, they were all civil servants without exception. Of the eighty military attachés in the entire dynasty, not one of them dared to leave their home and come to congratulate them.

Congratulate yourself on your birthday.

"Not a single military attache?"

Leng Yuhan occasionally muttered, and Mo Yuzhuang happened to hear him.

"Your Majesty has killed seven military attaches in a row. Do you still expect some military attaches to come to congratulate you? They must have been too frightened to leave the house and hid at home."

When there were only a few people picked up, Mo Yuzhuang stood behind Leng Yuhan and sent words into Leng Yuhan's ears.[

"Eh? Like this?"

It seems that what I did is a bit amazing!

Leng Yuhan was vaguely responding to the eloquent words of the congratulators, while using his peripheral vision to glance at the birthday gifts coming from various officials behind him.

He is indeed a high-ranking person! He is greedy and greedy enough.

All the birthday gifts that Leng Yuhan glanced at were exquisite, precious and full of surprises.

Most of the expensive birthday gifts include Ruyi, screens, lacquerware, weaving and embroidery and other exquisite handicrafts.

For example, there are rare white jade with three inlaid Ruyi, red sandalwood phoenix head handle Ruyi, gold hollow inlaid with pearl Ruyi, filigree enamel Ruyi; tapestry peacock tail screen, red sandalwood four beauties hanging screen, green and white jade phoenix bird four-fan screen, etc.

As for things like lacquerware, weaving and embroidery, they were all too far away from Leng Yuhan, and it was not convenient for Leng Yuhan to turn around and look at the ministers who were congratulating him.

All in all, Leng Yuhan was very satisfied with this birthday gift.

Leng Yuhan thought that if he sold all these things, he might be able to get more money to recruit soldiers.

Of course, some of Leng Yuhan's ideas are that he can only enjoy himself and not others.

If the ministers knew that their Nine Kings were eyeing the birthday gifts they bought at a high price and then sold them at a low price, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood and spend their whole lives secretly cursing the Nine Kings for their lack of morality and heartlessness, and for their deception.

their money.

After receiving the birthday gifts from all the officials, Leng Yuhan returned to the banquet hall with all the officials who came to congratulate him. He simply said to everyone present, "Everyone has a good meal and a good drink. After you have finished drinking," the banquet began.

Baichen's feast.

All kinds of dishes at the banquet are carefully selected by the host according to whether the names of the dishes are in line with the meaning of good luck and longevity, and whether the ingredients are in line with the four-level high-end ingredients such as fresh, tender, smooth and soft before being presented.

The dining table is very fragrant and has the characteristics of the daughter country, which is particularly rich.

The "Birthday Banquet" has a total of 45 hot dishes, 15 cold dishes, 10 soups, 8 side dishes, 8 fresh fruits, 18 candied dried fruits, snacks, fragrant cakes, rice cakes and other secondary staple foods.

Thirteen items, plus eight kinds of kimchi based on modern concepts made by Leng Yuhan himself, make a total of one hundred and forty-five dishes for the banquet.

The waiters carrying the dishes were like a fish in water shuttled between the dining tables in front of the ministers. Leng Yuhan sat at the main seat of the banquet, looking at it dumbfounded, as if he was out of his mind.

"Mo, Mo Feng, who ordered this menu? Is this so extravagant and wasteful? How much money does it cost?"

Leng Yuhan asked in Ran Mofeng's ear very stingily, feeling her heart aching with pain.

Ran Mofeng looked at Leng Yuhan's blank eyes for a while, carefully analyzed the meaning of Leng Yuhan's words, and patted Leng Yuhan's hand under the table with a smile, and then patted his own.

Chest, nodded.

"You, you ordered it?"

After fully understanding the meaning of Ran Mofeng's actions, Leng Yuhan suddenly felt an unprecedented urge to kill.

Ran Mofeng stared at the soaring temper in Leng Yuhan's eyes, with a hint of confusion on his face. He blinked his eyes and thought for a while, then wrote something on Leng Yuhan's hand with his finger, "Yan'er is angry."

?Mo Feng originally wanted to cook according to last year's 300-pin dish pattern, but since the palace has not had much surplus money recently, he had to simplify it a bit. Don't blame Yan'er.'

"What? Last year there were 300 dishes?"

She was really frightened by Ran Mofeng's words. The half cup of white chrysanthemum rice wine that Leng Yuhan had just swallowed sprayed onto Ran Mofeng's noble banquet clothes with a 'plop' sound, causing tears to fall to her cheeks as the wine and wine fell together, which made her feel bitter.

Behind the two men were attendants.

"master!"

"Your Majesty!"

The little waiter standing next to Ran Mofeng took out the brocade handkerchief and wiped it clean for Ran Mofeng in time. Lian Mo did not dare to fall behind and took out the dry handkerchief in her arms and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of Leng Yuhan's eyes.

With one free hand, he patted Leng Yuhan's back, where he felt pain.

Ran Mofeng pursed his lips, frowned lightly, took Leng Yuhan's hand, and wrote, 'Did Mofeng's arrangements not be considerate enough, which made the prince's birthday banquet miserable?'

Leng Yuhan didn't say anything, waving her hands and shaking her head vigorously. She still couldn't get over the choking aroma of the rice wine.

"Master Huang, I am Fu Ruya, a bachelor of Xiangge. I have heard for a long time that Master Huang is the best in literature and history. I wonder if Ruya will be lucky enough to receive some advice from Master Huang?"

At the ninth banquet table, a tall, elegant-looking woman holding a book fan stepped forward and stopped in front of the table about six feet away from Leng Yuhan. Her face was delicate and elegant, and her eyes were sparkling.

"Hmm? What you mean by Academician Fu is that you want to compare your literary talents with me?"

After finally recovering from the choking sound of rice wine, someone comes to attack?

Unexpectedly, he would encounter such a scene that would consume his brain cells. Leng Yuhan was stunned for a moment and tried to answer a few questions.

"Ruya can't say that it's a discussion, it can only be said that it's a way to draw advice from the prince."

Holding a fan and bending down, the tall woman made a deep sound. Although the sound was not loud, it was enough to quiet the banquet hall.

"What does Master Fu want to compare?"

Pulling cattle to the shelves and driving sheep into the water, Leng Yuhan knew that the legendary "diving" was not easy to do.

Sooner or later, banquet guests will have to face the problem. They will either become famous in the history of the country or be despised for thousands of years. No time-travelling kid can escape.

It's better to meet early than to meet by chance?

Although I am just a second-generation rich man who doesn’t know anything about music, chess, calligraphy or painting, I should have some backbone, right?

At worst, just leave Shi Hanyan's face. It has nothing to do with him anyway, and he can't lose two ounces of meat.

With determination to die, Leng Yuhan decided to give it a try and fight on Shi Hanyan's face.

"When writing poems, any poem is acceptable. There is only one requirement, which is to truthfully describe the people's livelihood in Huangfeng."

"this…"

people's livelihood?

Are you kidding me?

She is not a commentator who discusses current affairs and government affairs, so where can she learn about people's livelihood?

Leng Yuhan had a rare urge to kill again.

"What? Mr. Huang doesn't answer?"

There is no question about "I dare not take it", nor does it ask "Can't take it", only one word in the middle is deducted. Just the two words "do not take it" contain the great wisdom of winning and seeking truth.

The ministers present had begun to whisper, and some had adjusted their sight angles, preparing to further watch the development of the situation.

"Yes, of course I will."

Is it okay not to accept it?

Leng Yuhan rolled his eyes at Fu Ruya, who didn't have much of a good temper.

She scanned the circle with her eyes, and sure enough, her royal husbands were not idle either. They looked like they were watching a show that had nothing to do with them, completely ignoring the distress signal Leng Yuhan was sending to them at this time.

I really want to shout out, why does she want to wear it in this era?

No sports car, no computer, and still have to suffer from the abuse of a group of nerds who have their brains filled with classical Chinese?

"The elegance is the first to show off its ugliness. The day is in panic, and the night is in panic. The people are in panic day and night. The king is in panic, and the ministers are in panic. The monarch and his ministers are in panic, and the country is in panic."

As soon as Fu Ruya came out with this couplet, all the courtiers in the room were filled with sighs.

Because what Fu Ruya describes in this couplet is the current situation in which the people of Huangfenghuang were shaken due to the massacre of military attaches and the country was in uncertainty.

"Eh? Is this okay?"

What's surprising is not because Fu Ruya's answer is so neat, but because it's so straightforward.

"Of course, as long as it is described truthfully."

Fu Ruya appears to be mature in the literary field and can handle the situation with ease.

"Well, there is a saying that 'if you live high in the temple, you worry about the people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the king.' Although this couplet of my king is not as neat as Fu Xueshi's, it may be a more novel one.

Say it. My first couplet is 'two three four five', and my second couplet is 'six seven eighty nine'."

As soon as Leng Yuhan said these words, not many people were shocked, but it was obvious that a lot of laughter was heard.

"Haha, forgive me for being elegant and stupid, but I dare to ask Mr. Huang, what does this couplet mean?"

Although Fu Ruya leaned forward to ask politely, everyone saw Fu Ruya's trembling smiling shadow swinging back and forth on the ground, laughing happily.

Looking at the five royal wives in front of Leng Yuhan's table, with their makeup in a morose style, they all looked as if they were bowing their heads in deep thought, and seemed to be holding back the laughter that they couldn't burst out first.

"Oh, look at this king's memory, I missed the sentence 'que, one, less, ten'"

Each word is sonorous, like a phoenix spitting out jade.

Leng Yuhan said the last word and saw Fu Ruya's shadow that suddenly froze in place, and the exclamation of her five princes who suddenly came back to their senses!

Everyone in the house was at peace, and no one among the ministers dared to speak.

After a while of silence, only a "pop" sound was heard, but Fu Ruya fell to his knees on the ground, crying and complaining filled his chest, and shouted loudly: "I dare you, humble minister, to ask Lord Huang to send troops to save me."

Huang Feng, please save the 300,000 civilians who have fallen into the water city."

No one expected that this woman who only smelled like an empty water bottle would pull such a trick, including Leng Yuhan!

Standing up blankly, Leng Yuhan didn't know what she should say.

'Your Majesty, there are many people talking and they need to be suppressed.'

Holding Leng Yuhan's raised arm, Ran Mofeng quickly wrote on Leng Yuhan's palm.

"Um."

Turning his eyes back to Fu Ruya, Leng Yuhan pretended to cough twice and said: "Xueshi Fu, today is my birthday, so I meant 'Zaisheng', and I am pardoning you for your drunken gibberish and will not be held accountable."

, please come back."

"Master Huang, Longliang Land is a poor country with barren fields. It has been coveted by the Holy Queen since the founding of the country. The Fu family is so lucky to have the queen who has protected Huangfeng for fifteen generations. How can they agree to this?

Ruya saw with his own eyes that the Phoenix was headed towards destruction? Then I gave my advice with death, begging the King of Phoenix to put the common people of the world first, regain the name of the female army with the word "Phoenix", lead the world, and benefit all directions!"

The treacherous words were spoken immediately, and when everyone held their breath and dared not comment, Fu Ruya got up and slammed into the first birthday table where Leng Yuhan was.

Bang!

In an instant, there was a loud noise, and his head was bleeding. His delicate and elegant face was like the stripes torn by a leopard's claws. It was ferocious and terrifying, and Fu Ruya's body fell into a pool of blood.

"Haha! Such a good advice. Imperial sister, it seems that I came a little late and missed a good show."

The voice is as smooth as water, warm and soft to the bone.

But the words that followed the voice had a faint and threatening aura.

To be strict but not angry, to be angry but not aware of it, to be angry but not angry, to be solemn but not solemn.

Outside the birthday banquet hall, a pure white soft sedan slowly passed by. Accompanying the sedan were twenty palace maids and palace attendants dressed in peach and pink clothes.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hundreds of officials came to pay homage to Han Ran, the current Queen of Phoenix and Phoenix.

"Yes. All the ministers are of equal family status."

The soft curtain was lifted open by the palace attendant, and Shi Hanran, dressed in a pure white imperial phoenix costume, stepped off the soft sedan and stepped on the palace blanket that had been laid out by the palace attendant.

"The Imperial Sister is here. The Imperial Sister has not come to greet you from afar, so I hope the Imperial Sister will punish me."
