The Little Langjun I Picked Up

Chapter 6 Going to the Banquet

Soon it will be March 3, the Shangsi Festival.

A large crowd gathered beside the Qingshui River not far from the outskirts of the city.

The girls were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by friends of two or three, with veils on their faces, and unknown wild flowers on their temples, which added a bit of playfulness. Sitting on the stone steps by the bank, fiddled with the clear water with slender hands, making laughter like silver bells.

The young man not far away is on the other side of the river, stretching his neck to look over here, holding a sachet in his hand, thinking about which girl to give it to.

Wen Yu quietly slipped out from the back door, seeing the bustling scene today, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Take a look at this stall, look at that stall, I am very happy.

"Young master, buy a sachet and give it to your parents." The vendor smiled flatteringly when he saw Wen Yu's extraordinary clothes.

"How much is it?" Wen Yu asked.

The peddler stretched out five fingers, and replied enthusiastically: "It's not expensive, five cents each."

Wen Yu carefully picked among the sachets in a row for a while, and chose a bamboo green one with orchid grass embroidered on it. Delicate, but not bad. After paying the money, Wen Yu wandered the street alone.

In the Hou Mansion, Qin Yan had just returned from receiving the decree in the front hall when he realized that Wen Yu had disappeared, so he hurriedly asked Liu Feng to inquire, only to learn that he had slipped out of the mansion not long ago. Today the street is very lively, no matter how sensible Wen Yu is, she is still a thirteen-year-old child, so she has no choice but to find someone to find her.

Wen Yu was wandering around, already forgetting the direction he came from. Seeing the sun gradually moving westward, he hastened his pace, scurrying around like a headless fly.

Qin Yan stood with his hands behind his back, watched Tayun walk in from the outside, and asked, "Have you found it yet?"

Tayun shook his head, "Not yet."

Qin Yan looked up at the sky outside the house, frowned, "Let's go, I'll go with you."

Wen Yu sat under the stone bench of a big tree, tightly clutching the incense sticks bought for Qin Yan. Nang, with a depressed face, blamed himself for being playful and forgot the way, so he must learn a lesson in the future. The small body huddled into a ball, wondering if the general had come to look for him, if not, would he be the same as the group of children sleeping in the ruined temple that he met before? Thinking of this, his eyes turned red, and he sniffed aggrievedly, he didn't want to leave the general.

Wen Yu got up immediately, no, he has to find his way back! After standing up straight, he looked at the three forked roads in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and decided to take the middle one.

As soon as she picked up her pace, she heard a voice behind her, "Where are you going again?"

Wen Yu was startled, turned her head quickly, saw Qin Yan standing upright behind her, and immediately opened her arms and rushed towards him, both of them Arms tightly wrapped around Qin Yan's waist, tears streaming down uncontrollably, he choked up and said, "General, you are finally here, Wen Yu thought she would sleep in a ruined temple and pick up other people's leftovers." Qin

Yan Yan saw that Wenyu was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He had planned how to reprimand him on the way here, but now seeing his pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to criticize him. He touched Wen Yu's head, and comforted him softly: "Okay, it's all right."

After a while, Wen Yu came out of Qin Yan's arms, raised his sleeves to wipe off the tears on his face, reached out and took out the sachet from his sleeves and handed it to Qin Yan. Qin Yan said, "General, this is for you."

Qin Yan looked at the crumpled sachet with tenderness in his eyes, took it with his hand, and said with a smile, "I didn't prepare a sachet for you." "

It's okay." It's okay." Wen Yu shook her head cheerfully when she saw Qin Yan take the sachet.

"However, Uncle Xu asked someone to boil hot water and prepared some herbs. When you go back to take a bath, you are going to have a banquet in the palace tonight." Qin Yan took Wen Yu's little hand and walked slowly in the direction he had come and gone.

"Yeah." Wen Yu nodded obediently.

As soon as he stepped into the Hou's mansion, he saw Liufeng coming forward, holding Wenyu in his arms, and exclaimed: "Oh, my little ancestor, you can count yourself back, if you don't come back, I will be skinned by the master."

Wenyu Looking up at Qin Yan, Qin Yan smiled at him, then looked at Liu Feng and gave him a look.

Liufeng immediately let go of Wenyu, and smiled, "Well, I seem to have something to do, I'll go to Tayun to ask, that, master, I'll go first." After finishing speaking, Qin Yan didn't wait for a reply , "Whoosh" and disappeared.

Wen Yu was quite surprised, and began to envy, it's really good to have kung fu.

"Okay, let's go back to the room to take a shower." Qin Yan said.

"Okay." Wen Yu replied.

After Wenyu finished bathing and put on her clothes, she saw Qin Yan standing at the door, looking at herself.

Wen Yu looked at himself, then at Qin Yan, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, "Eh? General, our clothes look similar."

Qin Yan was wearing a plain top, a gray-blue bottom, and a moon mask on the outside. A white shirt with large sleeves, the cuffs were embroidered with unique flowing cloud patterns, his long hair was tied up high with only a white jade hairpin, and he held a folding fan in his hand. He didn't look like a military general who had fought for many years, but a handsome young man.

Wen Yu is also wearing a plain top, a gray-blue bottom, and a water-green half arm. Her hair is combed flat and divided into two sides, tied up with a red headband, tied into two buns, and placed on both sides of her head. On the side, the facial features are beautiful, and there is a smile on the mouth, which makes people happy.

Qin Yan nodded, "A little bit indeed."

The palace banquet started at You hour, and not long after the opening time, people arrived at the gate of the palace one after another.

With the grace of the Son of Heaven, all officials above the third grade can bring their family members to the table. Therefore, the palace tonight is full of laughter, handsome men and beautiful women can be seen everywhere.

Seven years ago, when the royal family was hunting, they encountered an assassin halfway. The former queen died for Zhao Gan. In order to feel the affection of the former queen, Zhao Gan decided not to have a queen in this life.

Therefore, the management of the palace banquet fell on the head of the four concubines, Mei Guifei. Mei Guifei was Zhao Lingfeng's biological mother.

Everyone waited for nearly half an hour before they saw Zhao Gan coming slowly with Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei was dressed in lotus root pink palace attire, and she looked as gentle as a Jiangnan woman, especially her eyes, which were dark and bright. He's almost forty, but he's like a twenty-year-old girl, half leaning on Zhao Gan's body, looking petite and exquisite.

After Zhao Gan took his seat, he waved his sleeves and said with a little apology, "Everyone, you have been waiting for a long time, please sit down."

Everyone cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wen Yu sat beside Qin Yan, looking Looking at the crooked canal in front of him, he asked in a low voice: "General, what is that for?"

Qin Yan was about to answer when he heard Concubine Mei say: "I am honored to be able to organize this palace banquet. Bengong racked his brains, thinking about how to make everyone happy, and thought that the Imperial Garden is a good place. Everyone enjoys the beautiful scenery while drinking. Bengong likes to read some idle books when he has nothing to do. Follow the pattern in the book and try it out, and I hope all the adults will not be disgusted."

"Don't dare, the imperial concubine is humble." Everyone said in fear.

Concubine Mei Gui turned her head to look at Zhao Gan, and smiled shyly.

Zhao Gan held Concubine Mei Gui's hand and said, "It's hard work to love my concubine."

Then, Gong'e introduced how to play Qushui Liushang: "Gentlemen, please look, this tray holds wine and flows along the water. Whoever does that will take the wine and drink it."

Everyone praised Mei Guifei.

Wen Yu frowned, and said in a low voice: "General, these people laugh so fakely. They obviously don't want to laugh, but they just want to pretend to be happy. Aren't they tired?" Qin Yan peeled a grape and handed it to Wen

Yu On the edge of his mouth, he said, "Stop talking."

Wen Yu opened his mouth and bit the grape, nodded, "Okay."

The game started, but for some reason, it stopped as soon as the tray reached Qin Yan, so he had no choice but to take the wine Self-drinking.

After going back and forth, Qin Yan had already drank seven or eight glasses of wine.

Zhao Lingfeng looked at Qin Yan, and joked: "The Marquis of Anping is really lucky. This is the fine wine that my father has treasured for many years. This king has always wanted to drink it but never had the chance to take a sip, but the Marquis drank several cups one after another. This king is really envious." After speaking, Zhao Lingfeng looked envious.

Qin Yan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is joking."

Zhao Lingfeng turned his gaze and saw Wen Yu who was eating with his head down next to Qin Yan. He was slightly surprised, and saw his bulging cheeks. Asked: "Who is this?"

Qin Yan moved his body to block Zhao Lingfeng's sight, and said calmly, "The grandson of the housekeeper."

Zhao Lingfeng looked away, raised his glass to Qin Yan, and said with a provocative smile: "Your Majesty must come to my prince's wedding banquet in half a month."

"Your Majesty invites me, and I will definitely go." Qin Yan raised his wine glass with a calm expression on his face.

Zhao Lingfeng felt bored, but his grandfather told him that if he wanted to ascend to the high position, he must win over Qin Yan, but in his opinion, Qin Yan is now just a marquis with no real power in his hands, so what's the use of attracting him. But the kid next to him looks quite similar to that person. Last time in Du Ruofang, he thought he was wrong, but it turned out to be true.

Wen Yu hiccupped, stretched contentedly, and asked Qin Yan's ear, "General, when will you be able to return home?" "I'm afraid there will be a while,"

Qin Yan replied, "What? Are you sleepy?"

Wen Yu shook his head, "I want to go to the toilet."

Qin Yan put down his wine glass and was about to get up, Wen Yu took his hand and said, "No need, I'll just find someone to take me there." A Gong'e's sleeve behind her said: "This beautiful sister, can you take me to the toilet ?

" There were no buildings, not even the candles. Wen

Yu stopped and shouted: "Sister, are you going the wrong way?"

He ran, but there was a strong pain in his neck, his consciousness was blurred, and he fell to the ground.

"It's not good, empress, your favorite Yu Ruyi is gone." Yi Gong'e hurried forward, knelt on the ground, and said anxiously.

"What?" Concubine Mei stood up anxiously, "But the one that His Majesty gave you at the Flower Festival last time?"

Gong'e nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that is the one."

Concubine Mei looked at Zhao Gan with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty , The concubine is guilty of not protecting the things His Majesty bestowed on the concubine, it has been left there all this time and has not been lost, I don't know why it is lost today."

The beauty was in tears, which made Zhao Gan feel sorry for her. He put his arms around her shoulders, "It's okay." Then he said sharply to the outside: "Come on! Seal the entire imperial garden for me, and everyone must not leave half a step!" After a while, the Imperial Forest

Army Surrounding everyone present, everyone's faces turned ashen, and a good banquet suddenly became like this.

Fu Yuanzhi followed Fu Xiang, rolled his eyes feebly, and said that the banquet was boring, and his grandfather still insisted on bringing him here. Now that it's all right, he can't go back after a while.

Qin Yan looked at Gong'e who was kneeling on the ground, didn't this just take Wenyu to the toilet? This will appear here, but what about Wenyu? damn it! problem occurs! Only then did Qin Yan come to his senses, raised his eyes to meet Zhao Lingfeng's smiling eyes, immediately got up, and said to Zhao Gan, "Your Majesty, I have lost something heavy." Zhao Gan raised his eyebrows when he saw Qin Yan

, "What is it heavy? I just remembered it now?"

"My mother's belongings." Qin Yan said indifferently.

Zhao Gan's face changed slightly, and he coughed lightly, "But did you just lose it?"

"Exactly." Qin Yan nodded.

"Come here!" Zhao Gan was interrupted by Qin Yan just as he opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, after all, it is my mother's relic, I should find it myself."

Zhao Gan nodded, "Forget it, go and come back quickly, I will send a few people Go with you."

Qin Yan did not refuse, and a group of people left the banquet behind him, looking around. Taking advantage of people not paying attention, his figure flashed, turned around, and walked towards Concubine Mei's bedroom.
