Chapter 239 The crying little queen mother (19)
On important occasions, you must pay attention to your eating habits.

Fortunately, Lin Yan has developed good habits in the past few months, so even though she is very hungry, she still behaves dignified and elegant.

The cumbersome clothes did not hinder her from eating. Aunt Liu helped arrange the dishes and she felt relieved to see that she ate faster than usual.

The little queen mother's appetite had not been very good before, because she was injured because she didn't eat enough when she was young. But after the diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician Xia Jingyan invited, and after so many days of care, he finally recovered a bit.

There is an old saying among the people that eating is a blessing. Since you are already the Queen Mother, you don't need to worry so much, so you can eat as much as you want without worrying about other people's eyes.

The palace people brought in the meals prepared by the imperial kitchen in an orderly manner, but in fact, people with different statuses had different dishes on the table in front of them.

But after all, it was produced by the imperial dining room and the taste was not bad, so everyone down there ate it to their heart's content.

The women concentrated on eating, while the men wore professional fake smiles and toasted with the people around them.

The good words about free money kept popping up one after another.

Xia Jingyan was sitting on the dragon chair, his posture was not dignified, but his face was so deceptive, so he didn't seem to be out of place. He drank sip after sip of wine, but his expression didn't change much.

On the contrary, many of the courtiers' faces turned red because of drinking, as red as the monkey's buttocks. But the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he still chatted politely with his colleagues.

As for banquets, performances are indispensable.

It is normal for the opening performance to be performed by a theater troupe outside the palace, or a singer raised in the palace. They have rehearsed the dance and will perform directly on the stage.

Everyone was immersed in the lively atmosphere as they drank and drank.

Lin Yan held the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Looking at the graceful dancer below, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of joy. This kind of life really feels like being in a dream.

If the setting of the novel is followed, a killer should be inserted among these dancers. When the dance moves come to the emperor, her hidden weapon will be released.

But imagination is imagination after all, so nothing happened. After the song was over, all the dancers got off. It didn't happen that the emperor liked anyone and wanted to include him in the harem.

It seems very normal, no twists and turns at all.

Then comes the second rehearsal program. In short, it will definitely not stop the excitement here.

No matter how you look at the classical dance, it seems very attractive and familiar. Looking at the ordinary movements, in fact, they have contacted each other thousands of times in private. And the smile on his face has never changed. No one dares to make a mistake at this time.

If they perform perfectly, they will get more money, but if something goes wrong, what awaits them may be beheading.

If you win, you will be rich and prosperous; if you lose, you will die.

"Empress Dowager, you can't eat any more. You've already eaten quite a bit." Aunt Liu stopped serving dishes and whispered in Lin Yan's ear.

Lin Yan came back from the dance, looked at the many bones on the table, and couldn't help but touch her nose.

She ate all the roasted pigeon, and Aunt Liu gave her several pieces of pork ribs, and she also ate other things. The sum total of Ling Ling and Ling Ling is already a bit more than her usual appetite.

"But Aijia feels that it can be stuffed more." She touched her belly, which was very flat and not round, so she didn't feel any stretch.

Aunt Liu gave her earnest advice, "I just ate a lot of greasy food, and the banquet has just begun. If something happens in the middle, I'm afraid it will be a loss of etiquette. If the Queen Mother wants to eat, it's not too late to wait until after the banquet."

First, I am afraid that if I accumulate food, my stomach will become bloated and I will feel uncomfortable. Secondly, he was afraid that she would want to go to the latrine after eating too much. She left the banquet soon after it started, which not only despised the emperor, but also neglected the courtiers. Those who live on salary are not without rules and regulations.

After Lin Yan came to his senses, he could only put down his chopsticks. She couldn't help it, she ate too fast, so she ate a lot at once.

At least the other noble girls are surrounded by their own sisters, so even if they are bored, they can still whisper together. There was only one drunken emperor beside her. How could she relieve her boredom?

Then you can only look at the dancer below.

Although classical dance is beautiful, if you only watch dance, it will become a bit boring after a long time. After all, this kind of dance is used for banquet demonstrations. Most of them are the same and can't go wrong, and you will get tired after looking at them for a long time.

Ever since, she successfully made herself sleepy.

After eating, I wanted to sleep, but unfortunately I couldn't leave.

Xia Jingyan had been observing the little queen mother's condition with his peripheral vision. Seeing that her eyelids were a little heavy, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

He picked up an empty wine glass, poured a little wine into it, and pushed it over.

"Queen Mother, come on, please?" I don't know what it will look like when that fair little face turns red.

Lin Yan woke up with a start. Looking at the extra wine glass on the table, she reached out to pick it up and smelled it.

The smell of alcohol was very strong, and it must have been over 50 degrees by visual inspection. After one sip, she couldn't guarantee that she would do something tragic.

Is the wine quality of the original owner bad? She didn't dare to gamble.

"No, it doesn't taste good to you." So the best thing to do is refuse it directly!

As the Queen Mother, she has the confidence to refuse.

Xia Jingyan just chuckled, not embarrassed.

And soon, the plot developed as expected.

"My daughter Qin Miaoyin wishes the Emperor peace, happiness, success in all things, and may the country be healthy! I have a feeling today, and hereby play a song for the Emperor, to fulfill the wish for the Emperor!"

The woman stood up and knelt down in the middle. She was dressed in an exquisite dress and had pearls on her head. She looked like she had a good identity. The voice is crisp, somewhat melodious, and somewhat pleasant to the ear.

She lowered her head and could only see her smooth forehead and a small half of her face. Although I couldn't see the whole picture clearly, I knew she was a beautiful woman.

Xia Jingyan replied lazily, "Yes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Yan regained her interest. After all, this was different from a dancer's performance. Dancers performed for wages, so the dance would not be too outstanding. But this courtier's daughter is different. They have other purposes.

In fact, she was also very confused. As a noble lady, she usually maintained her identity and took her own image very seriously. But they actually take the initiative to perform, just like dancers, showing off their charm.

This kind of attitude of lowering one's status and treating oneself like a monkey for others to watch is really incomprehensible.

But that was the nature of this party, they just wanted to find a way out for themselves.
