The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 223
Lu Wanlan was in a trance when she heard someone calling behind her: "Girl, girl..."

The sharp-eyed Xiaoxi saw two girls from the Wang family stepping into the Luxiao Hall and walking towards her from among the crowds who entered the hall one after another, so she tugged at the skirts of her girls.

She immediately collected her thoughts, followed the direction of Xiaoxi's finger, and saw that the sixth girl and the eighth girl of the Wang family had come to her.

Originally thinking that these two people would quarrel with her regardless of their identities and circumstances, Lu Wanlan bent the corners of her mouth to show a kind attitude, but she didn't expect that they just gave him a hard look, and then walked towards the little one behind on the left with her head held high. go.

Xiaoxi stared back and was furious!

Especially when she saw that Miss Wang Liu was wearing a light green Chunluo narrow-sleeved shirt and a furnace silver Chunluo skirt, the dull color scheme was actually wearing a full set of wrong gold inlaid jewels on her head, no matter how incongruous she looked, she secretly despised her : What are they wearing? They are neither fish nor fowl!

Lu Wanlan didn't pay much attention to it, she just gently stroked the golden phoenix fringe on her temples, glanced at the attire of Miss Wang Liu and smiled knowingly.

Where are these plain clothes?It was clearly a luxurious brocade robe fully embroidered with jade thread and silver thread on the concave flower Ruyi cloud pattern satin.

Although other people couldn't tell, Lu Wanlan could tell at a glance that her attire was very valuable.

Look at her bluish-blue eyebrows, which cannot be drawn without the Luozidai made in Persia.Luo Zidai is worth thousands of gold, and most of them are paid tribute to the royal family as envoys.

And how could someone who could use such a luxurious thing be an idler from a small family?
Thinking about this girl from the Wang family, today's arrogance is showing her true feelings, and her attitude of treating money as dung is just a show.

This Wang family is really a hidden rich family!
With the arrival of the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager, Lu Wanlan stopped thinking.

All the ministers knelt down to worship.

"Everyone is alive. Today is the queen mother's birthday, and there are seven sons of Danba coming to congratulate me. I held this palace banquet to celebrate the queen mother's birthday, and secondly, to welcome the envoys. All the relatives do their best for Da Zhou. Today we need to drink to our heart's content and have a lot of fun."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone got up and took their seats, the auspicious time had come, and the banquet officially began after the official of the Ministry of Rites read out the congratulations.

Outside the hall, the moon is cold and the river is frosty, but inside it is as warm as spring.Dozens of dancers in colorful dresses accompanied Shao Le, twirling their feet and dancing, their sleeves fluttering and swaying.

A series of exquisite delicacies were also placed in the dishes of everyone in turn by the lady of the cardamom age.

The emperor Xiao Jingyu held up the cup with a flick of his sleeve: "All my dear ones, join me in toasting the Queen Mother."

The officials responded positively: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, a long life and a healthy life!"

Lu Wanlan was injured and didn't intend to drink, but she was still superficially respectful and showed enough to go with the flow.

After several rounds of compliments, the originally solemn and tense atmosphere in the hall also became lively.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was in high spirits, Wang Weiquan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Wang Yiquan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, began to toast in turn. A few congratulatory words made the birthday star very happy, and then saw the queen mother smiling kindly at the two said:

"I won't talk about the other things. If the two of you can share the emperor's worries in the court hall and do your best for the Great Zhou, the Ai family will live in good health."

The two were stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed their heads and saluted: "I would like to follow the teachings of the empress dowager."

With these two lord kings in front, the rest of the officials who are good at drilling camps began to take turns, laughing and chattering constantly, completely forgetting what the Holy Majesty Xiao Jingyu said, that there were envoys present at the birthday banquet.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingyu took care of the invitation cup from time to time, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites maintained the basic order, so that this barbarian son would not be left out in the cold.

Lu Wanlan was a little surprised to see fine wine pouring into the stomachs of these two people one cup after another.

If I remember correctly, they should have drunk Qianchou, which was tributed by the Lu family, last time I took only one sip of this kind of wine and fell unconscious.

The amount of alcohol is so unfathomable?

Just when he couldn't figure it out, a few empty low tables in the hall caught Lu Wanlan's eyes.

On the other side of the envoy, Princess Longge is injured and will not attend. The seventh daughter of the Wang family, Wang Xuenong, feels ashamed and does not want to meet her future husband. It is understandable that she is absent, but the absence of Minister of War Xie Huaibin is really rare. .

Even Mrs. Xie Bi, who was on the attendance list, has not shown up until now.

Lu Wanlan was puzzled, the roster was given by Xiao Yanzhi, if Grand Tutor Xie was not present, he had no reason to write this name.

Now that this person is not here, could it be that there is something else hidden?
She raised her eyebrows and thought about it, but she forgot to look away, and suddenly a sentence came from above: "Princess Yan, why didn't I see you toast? But what's wrong with your body?"

Lu Wanlan's chest trembled slightly, she withdrew all her thoughts, looked up, and saw Queen Wang Xuening was holding a phoenix wearing a peony wine glass, frozen in mid-air, looking at her with a warm smile on her face, her eyes were filled with The color of worry.

He glanced at the female family members beside him again, they all raised their glasses and maintained the same posture, and when they heard the queen's question, they turned their gazes to himself, and Lu Wanlan reacted instantly.

It must be that the Queen Mother wanted to bring all the female relatives to toast the Queen Mother when she was in a trance.

Has this started?
She immediately raised her gauze-wrapped hand and smiled back: "It's all my fault for my stupidity. I scratched my hand while playing polo, and now I can't even hold a wine glass."

"Aiyo~ It's my palace's negligence." The queen showed her white teeth and smiled apologetically to the queen mother, "The princess has worked hard today, so I asked the person serving beside me to toast the bar."

The Queen Mother waved her sleeves and said, "It's okay, it's all trivial."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compassion." Lu Wanlan's mouth curled slightly, and she stood up and bowed, not intending to reject the kindness of these two.

Queen Wang's smile froze when she heard the words, she was just being polite, but she didn't expect that Princess Yan was real.

Immediately, he resumed his graceful posture, led everyone to toast to the Queen Mother, and then continued the topic raised by Lu Wanlan, and said to Emperor Xiao Jingyu:
"Speaking of today's polo match, Chenqie really opened his eyes, but Chenqie also heard that today's all-vegetarian banquet was served by Tian Fulou of Princess Yan's mother's house. Looking at these delicacies, they are so delicate that they are called Chenqie. I don't know how to move the chopsticks."

After hearing these words, Xiao Jingyu, who had just had a drink with Prince Urenge, looked at the direction of the Queen's finger.

I saw Liu Yuanhai, the chief inspector of internal supervision, was putting a white jade plate in front of him. Inside, there was a snow-white lotus flower blooming on a pool of emerald green wine, with bright red dots on the flower stamens.

"The name of this dish is, A White Lotus Thousands of Jiaos Zhaoxue."

While Eunuch Liu was speaking, he presented the purple jade chopsticks inlaid with gold in front of him: "Please move the chopsticks, Your Majesty."

Under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Xiao Jingyu took a piece and put it in his mouth, and remained silent for a long time.

Civil and military officials were silent, but they sneered endlessly in their hearts.

Waiting to see the joke, there are many families of the God of Cookery who compete with the Lu family for the qualification to serve the birthday banquet.

All vegetarian feast?
Based on the flowers made by their Lu family, isn't it still a vegetarian dish? After all, it is a folk restaurant, how can it compare to the heavenly chef's imperial banquet?

　I had a headache and fever yesterday, today's update is late, please forgive me.
