Chapter 292 The Imperial Banquet Begins

Chapter 289 The Imperial Banquet Begins

At the gate of Qianqing Palace, there is a group of guards with swords guarding, and the person waiting at the side is Li Delian, the head of the palace.

"Hey, my princess son-in-law, you guys are coming, the time is coming soon, if you don't keep the time, the emperor will be angry." When Li Delian saw Lin Xiaoyao and Zhao Ximeng, he hurried forward, Said anxiously.

"Eunuch Li, look at what you said, you see that Ximeng and I seem to be late, but in fact we have come a long time ago, just to study a scientific project about time, so we stepped on the point, we are now You don’t have to praise us for your unyielding efforts for the great cause of mankind. We do this in a selfless way without the slightest color of interest. Of course, if you want to give us tens of thousands of taels of sympathy, we also Wouldn't mind."

Lin Xiaoyao always had a shallow smirk on his face, and there was a hint of sincerity in the smirk, a bit of evil charm in the sincerity, and a bit of vigor in the evil charm, which made Li Delian stunned by the words, Some are silly.

"cough cough"

Zhao Ximeng really couldn't stand it any longer, even the eunuch who was closest to the emperor dared to offend, if he didn't care about it, who knew if his husband would lose his mind and be taken aback by what his father said, as a last resort, She had no choice but to secretly touch Lin Xiaoyao again, coughing to signal him not to be stupid.

"Ximeng, do you have a cold? They tell you to drink more hot water in winter. You're coughing. Oh my dear, my heart hurts to death." Lin Xiaoyao looked at Zhao Ximeng as if he didn't know Zhao Ximeng His intentions were ordinary, his expression was sincere, and he said with a worried face.

Zhao Ximeng: "..."

Zhao Letian: "..."

Li Delian: "..."

Zhao Ximeng's pretty face was slightly red. She really didn't expect that Lin Xiaoyao would say such disgusting words to her in public. This made Zhao Ximeng, who had always been able to maintain his grace and dignity, feel a little irritated.

However, although her face was a little hot, she was very happy in her heart. After all, in this era, it is almost rare for a man to say such nasty things to a woman in public.What's more, the person who said this is a real hero who is famous all over the world, and he is not weak at all.

"Lin Lang, Eunuch Li is the person my father trusts the most. You must not offend him, otherwise there will be many difficult things in the future." Zhao Ximeng had no choice but to get closer to Lin Xiaoyao, and secretly told Lin Xiaoyao Said.

Lin Xiaoyao just nodded, but didn't say anything, and he didn't know if he heard Zhao Ximeng's words.

"Eunuch Li, when I see my family, I can't control my mouth. I always want to make jokes. Don't mind, but this is also your fault. You can always feel the family I can't control myself at all."

No one can tell that Lin Xiaoyao is talking nonsense, unless someone who knows Lin Xiaoyao very well can see what he is thinking from his subtle movements, but Li Delian has no doubt that he does not understand Lin Xiaoyao of.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoyao's words directly moved Li Delian to tears. Since ancient times, eunuchs have no family members, let alone people with such a background, such high abilities, and such people who are highly valued by the emperor!

"Hey, my son-in-law, Mr. Lin, you are breaking the life of this slave by saying that. His Royal Highness King Yan has already entered. You should go in quickly. If the time is really late, the emperor will not say anything. Some people are dissatisfied..."

Li Delian is worthy of being a person who has served the emperor for so long and can still be valued. Observation of words and demeanor is his most basic skill, and deliberation is his strength. Just from the walking posture and distance of Lin Xiaoyao and the others, he can already Guess a lot of things, so when you speak, you can also find the key points.

When Lin Xiaoyao heard the words, his expression was also concentrated. He and Zhao Letian looked at each other, and they both found a serious look in each other's eyes. Immediately, they both nodded at the same time, thanked Li Delian, and entered the room of the imperial banquet. Inside the palace.

Entering the palace, the first thing that catches the eye is a large table of delicacies, delicacies and jade. Around the table, there are several beautiful maids holding some trays. Some of the trays are jugs and glasses, and some are lids Covered food, but because of the cover, Lin Xiaoyao didn't know what was inside.

Lin Xiaoyao originally thought that the emperor would dine alone at the top of the imperial banquet, while they were at the bottom, each with a small table, just like in later generations of TV, each eating their own food without affecting each other.But who would have thought that this dinner was really like having a meal at home. Everyone gathered around a big table and ate together, which felt a bit like home.

The emperor sat due north, facing the entrance of the palace, so Lin Xiaoyao and others saw the emperor directly as soon as they entered the palace.

"Meet the Emperor (Father Emperor)"

Seeing the emperor raised his head, the three of them quickly knelt down and said respectfully.

The emperor waved his hand very casually, and said: "There is no need to be too polite, let's all stay flat, this time is just a family banquet, don't bring in those rules and regulations from the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty (Father)"

The three stood up, and under Li Delian's guidance, they each sat down. Yan Wang Zhao Tingfei and Qin Wang Zhao Letian sat next to the emperor on the left and right, while Lin Xiaoyao and Zhao Ximeng sat opposite the emperor, next to Zhao Tingfei. .

"After Ximeng married Xiaoyao, due to the busy government affairs, Xiaoyao went out to fight again, so there was no time to have a family dinner with Xiaoyao. We haven't had dinner together for a long time, so I can put the words first, no one is allowed to talk about government affairs, even if there is, please bear with me, I want to talk about it after dinner, now we are just ordinary family relationship That's all, well, let's use our chopsticks..."

Although the emperor's tone was very flat, the inadvertent aura of the emperor made his words solemn and powerful, so that Lin Xiaoyao and others did not dare to have the slightest thought of resistance, and could only nod repeatedly.

Seeing everyone nodding repeatedly, the emperor finally showed a smile, like a loving father at home, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, eat this, I specially ordered the imperial chef to prepare it, I don't know it has been so long, do you still like it when you were young?" taste."

"Of course it suits our taste. Although we don't live in the palace anymore, the picture of having dinner with my father when I was a child is always flashing in my mind. I always miss it. Today, I can be with my father again, Having dinner with my second brother and younger brother-in-law, and the meal prepared by my father personally, I am really happy, and I feel a joy that I have never had before. This feeling has not been experienced for a long time..."

Zhao Tingfei took the emperor's words directly, with a sincere look, a sincere voice, that kind of movement, that expression, as if he really thought so.
