Grandma entered the palace holding the box of Luminous Pearl, and at the Queen Mother's signal, brought it to Shen Wan.
Shen Wan took the night pearl, kowtowed in thanks, and sat back down at the Queen Mother's signal.
As the sky grew dark, the Queen Mother led everyone to the Floating Dream Palace, where tonight's banquet was held.
In Fumeng Palace, the emperor and ministers were already waiting in the decorated palace.
After Shen Wan and others entered the palace, they stood in the palace. After the Queen Mother and the concubines took their seats, they knelt down and worshiped the Emperor, the Queen Mother and the concubines together with the ministers.
"Pingshen." Following the emperor's words, everyone stood up. Under the guidance of the palace servants, they sat down at the arranged positions. This table was for two people to sit at. Since there were three people from the Song family, Song Heng After sitting at the same table with Shen Wan, Lin Qingxue sat alone at the back.
Shen Wan originally wanted to sit in the back, but Song Heng held her back and forced her to sit next to him.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor sit in the middle of the steps, with the four concubines on either side. On the right are the royal relatives, princes and uncles, and on the left are the civil and military ministers. Naturally, these positions are arranged according to rank. .
It was the first time that Shen Wan saw the real living emperor, so she had to take a few more glances. Although the original owner had entered the palace before, he never took a look at the emperor because of his timidity.
When she looked at the person on the dragon chair, she felt the aura of an emperor and a domineering king.
The momentum of this emperor is much more domineering than that of the emperor in the TV series. Moreover, this emperor is also good-looking. He wears a golden crown with a dragon pattern on his head, full of heaven, sword-shaped eyebrows at the temples, a pair of noble phoenix eyes, upturned eye tails, and eyeballs. The darkness was like a deep pool with no visible bottom, exuding a hint of coldness and majesty. Under the high bridge of the nose was a pair of thin lips. They said that men with thin lips were ruthless, so this emperor was also ruthless.
With a perfect chin, long neck, broad shoulders, and thick chest, it is visually apparent that this emperor has chest muscles just like Song Heng.
Although he is sitting now and his height cannot be seen, it is visually estimated that he is not shorter than Song Heng because he has a pair of long legs.
As an emperor and a martial arts practitioner, Xuanyuan Yu was very perceptive, and he soon noticed that someone was looking at him. He didn't intend to pay attention to it. After all, as an emperor, it was the first time for someone to see him, and he couldn't help but It's normal to want to secretly look at the holy face. However, he didn't look away for a while. He frowned slightly and looked over based on his feeling.
Then, he met a pair of clear and bright eyes.
Shen Wan met the emperor's gaze and was stunned for a moment, then her pupils dilated.
Uh... I got caught peeking.
In ancient times, was it disrespectful to the emperor to look directly at him? Shen Wan felt bad, so she calmly looked away and looked up and down, pretending to be looking around instead of staring at the emperor. , I just saw him accidentally.
Xuanyuan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a smile flashed in his eyes. This woman was interesting. After being caught by him, she pretended not to stare at him intentionally, but just looked around randomly.
He looked at the little girl with wandering eyes and found that she was quite good-looking. Wait, she was sitting with Song Heng. Could it be that she was the Lin family he had given Song Heng in marriage to.
With a beautiful appearance and a kind heart, Lin is indeed a good person, and she did not make a mistake in marrying her.
By the way, what about the Song family? This Lantern Festival banquet requires everyone to come, so could she not come?
When the food was served, the palace daughters in pink dresses came in like a fish and put the delicacies on the table one after another.
These dishes are very exquisite. They are all dishes that Shen Wan has never seen before, and they look delicious. What surprised her most was that there was a dish of spinach mixed with vermicelli. Needless to say, this spinach must have been picked from Come to the Star Tower.
"Where does this spinach come from?" Prince Ren asked in surprise as he looked at the spinach fans in front of him.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "The emperor asked Ah Li to send this spinach."
Zhaixinglou bought vegetables from Shen Wan. Murong Li had such good things, so he naturally had to honor his grandmother and uncle. Every day, he asked shopkeeper Zhao to mix some vegetables and send them to the palace. However, these vegetables were sent to the palace. Once inside the palace, only the Queen Mother and the Emperor could enjoy it, and the concubines could only watch.
During the Lantern Festival banquet, Xuanyuan Yu wanted to let his courtiers eat vegetables that were rare to eat in winter, so he asked Murong Li to send some more to the palace.
In order to be satisfied, everyone at the table could have a plate of green leafy vegetables. Shopkeeper Zhao went to Izumo Villa and pulled out all the spinach in the field.
Princess Ren smiled and said: "Ali's Zhaixinglou sells these green vegetables. My daughter-in-law can't eat them even if she wants to, but now she can eat them in the palace."
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "That child A Li has a filial heart, and will have vegetables delivered to the palace every day. Since I have vegetables, my appetite has improved a lot!"
Seeing the plate of green vegetables on the table every day made her feel much better and her appetite naturally improved.
"Anding is such a filial grandson."
"Yes! Anding is so filial."
Everyone praised Anding Hou for his filial piety. Murong Li inherited his father's title, so now he is Anding Hou.
Hearing someone mention Murong Li, Shen Wan looked across the way, but did not see his figure. However, there was an empty table next to Princess Ren and the others, and no one was sitting on it. That should be Murong Li's. It was already at this time, Why didn't he come? Could it be that he was feeling unwell again? Shen Wan couldn't help but feel worried.
"By the way, why hasn't Prince Murong come yet?" a royal relative asked.
Both the Emperor and the Queen Mother frowned, a look of worry flashed in their eyes.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "I guess something happened on the road and it delayed me." Her grandson was in poor health, which was really worrying. She asked him to stay in the palace to recuperate, but he refused.
"Prince Murong has arrived." As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the announcement from the palace came from outside.
Everyone looked towards the palace door.
After a while, Murong Li, who was dressed in a white brocade robe and a white jade crown, looking like a banished immortal, crossed the threshold and walked into the hall.
Shen Wan followed him with her eyes, watching him walk to the hall and kneel down. But looking at his face, there seemed to be nothing wrong with him, and his lips were also a healthy pink color.
Looking at Murong Li, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "What a handsome man that is unparalleled in the world! If he is in good health, I don't know how many people would want to marry him."
It would be great if she could travel through time and space freely, so that she could take him to modern times for heart surgery.
"Ali is late, please ask your uncle and grandmother to punish you."
The Queen Mother and the Emperor were reluctant to punish him. Seeing him kneeling on the cold floor, the Queen Mother felt extremely distressed and hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, the ground is cold."
"Thank you, grandma." Murong Li stood up with a smile.
Xuanyuan Yu also said: "Hurry and take a seat!"
Murong Li walked behind the empty table and sat down. After sitting down, he looked at Shen Wan and smiled at her, and Shen Wan also smiled at him.
Song Heng, who was sitting next to Shen Wan, naturally noticed their interaction, stretched out his hand, grabbed Shen Wan's left hand on her lap, and squeezed it hard.
Shen Wan was in pain, frowned and glared at Song Heng, giving him a look like "Are you sick?"
"Don't look at other people." Although Song Heng's voice was low, the domineering tone in his tone was not diminished at all.
Shen Wan rolled her eyes secretly and tried to pull her hand out of Song Heng's hand, but he squeezed it too tightly and she couldn't pull it out at all.
She exhaled a breath of turbid air and said angrily: "Don't let me look at other people, just gouge out my eyeballs!"
Hearing this, Song Heng squeezed her hand a little harder. Couldn't she be more obedient? She had to do the opposite.
Shen Wan glared at Song Heng with hatred! Calling him a big pig now is just a way of flattering him. He is just a piece of shit. What kind of man does he bully a weak woman like her because of his strength?
At this time, the music sounded, and the dancers wearing thin dance clothes entered the hall and danced gracefully in the hall to the music.
Shen Wan also gave up struggling, ate the dish with her right hand, and then watched the dancers' performance.
After the dancers finished dancing, the food was almost eaten. Then came the jugglery performance. This jugglery performance consisted of handkerchiefs turning into flowers and hats turning into doves. Shen Wan didn't find it interesting. , the others saw it quite well, but they still exclaimed in surprise, especially Lin Qingxue behind her, her exclamations never stopped.
After the magic performance was over, the palace people removed the empty plates and served tea and exquisite refreshments.
This palace banquet will naturally not end with a meal.
The emperor looked around and his eyes fell on Shen Wan. He saw that she was eating a piece of white sugar cake shaped like a little rabbit, with some cake crumbs stuck to the corner of her mouth. She seemed to be aware of it and licked it with her tongue. That move was very playful and cute.
Sitting high up, he naturally saw that Song Heng and Shen Wan were holding hands on the table.
He smiled and thought to himself: "The relationship between Song Heng and Lin is really good. They are sitting together and holding hands."
It was almost time for him to announce the matter.
He said loudly: "Come out, Mrs. Lin, wife of General Song!"
Lin? Everyone looked at Song Heng. Why did the emperor ask Lin to come out at this time?
Lin Qingxue was stunned, afraid that she had heard wrongly, because she had made a joke in the Queen Mother's Palace.
Shen Wan turned around and looked at the stunned Lin Qingxue and whispered: "I'm calling you!"
"Oh..." Lin Qingxue stood up in a hurry, knocking over the teapot on the table with her sleeve.
"Pah..." The teapot fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the tea was scattered all over the floor.
Lin Qingxue's face turned pale and her body froze in fear.
This behavior of hers is unbecoming of a royal servant!
