Celebrities who were delayed by food

While others were eating bran-swallowed vegetables, the children of the aristocratic families who had become friends with Xie Yunxi ate comfortably and praised again and again.

Everyone eats and drinks enough, bathes and freshens, and takes a short lunch break.

When the sky is full of red clouds, the sacrificial dinner will officially start.

In fact, no matter what the name of the banquet, the focus is not on the food.

Socializing at the banquet, drinking and drinking, and eating a few mouthfuls of food on the food table, filling the stomach, will become a decoration that no one cares about.

Xie Yunxi once heard Xie Yuyan complain about the food at the banquet, and thought it was just an exaggeration, but today is the royal meal, so she thought that even if it was not delicious, it would not be difficult to swallow.

However, after taking a bite of a few dishes, he put down his chopsticks and just sat quietly, drinking a few sips of tea from time to time, admiring the dancing in the middle of the banquet.

In fact, strictly speaking, Xie Yunxi also dislikes the tea he drinks now. On weekdays, he is used to drinking the high-quality tea leaves kept at home, so if he drinks inferior tea now, the experience will naturally be bad.

But just sitting, not eating or drinking anything, is really not good,

As for stealing snacks, he thought about it, right now he still has a purse around his waist, and there are delicious dried fruits hidden in it.

But as soon as he entered the banquet, he noticed that everyone's eyes were always on him, especially the one above the throne.

He seemed to be relying on his high seat, so he thought he was very secretive, but he didn't know that peeping too often would make it very obvious.

"Hey." What's there to see, I'm really flustered.

Xie Yunxi sighed secretly, her expression still calm.

He took a sip of the tea in the cup, and he was still thankful—fortunately, he ate an extra egg pancake before coming, otherwise he would starve to death again right now.

While Xie Yunxi was calmly sipping tea and watching the singing and dancing performance, the voices of several people talking could be faintly heard from the seats behind him.

"Well, good tea, this tea is fresh and pleasant, with an elegant tea color, it is indeed a top-quality green tea."

"This tea is really good. It just matches today's stewed beef. The beef is plump and the tea color is fragrant. The level of this Yushanfang is getting better."

"..."

Xie Yunxi clapped her hands, and listened to the many praises behind her, feeling self-doubt, and looked down at the meals on the food table—especially the most praised beef dish.

Nowadays, cattle are mostly used for farming and generally cannot be slaughtered.

Even if the cattle of ordinary people die or get sick accidentally, they need to be reported to the government, so beef is particularly precious.

Xie Yunxi rarely eats beef on weekdays, and every time he eats it, he cherishes it very much.

But the beef served at the banquet was really oily and greasy, and the meat was still clogged. It was a waste of ingredients.

"This imperial chef seems to like to use oil very much. A bowl of vegetable soup is covered with oil slicks. It's really extravagant."

Nowadays, the oil extraction technology is not developed, the oil yield is not high, and the process is extremely complicated.

First, before the oil is pressed, the sesame seeds need to be roasted, smashed, steamed, and finally made into cakes. After that, the oil cakes are continuously squeezed through the impact of heavy hammers, and finally the oil can be formed.

Ordinary people use oil sparingly, but the imperial chefs use a lot of oil for cooking.

Xie Yunxi suspected that the oil attached to these dishes might be a bit more oily than some of the foods he fried.

Seeing Xie Yunxi's disgusted expression, Xie Yuyan said helplessly: "Third brother, I told you not to stay at home all the time, the food quality outside here is far worse than ours, and in all fairness, the imperial chef's banquet is not bad. , You have never eaten from other people's homes."

As he said, he still winked and suggested, "Why don't you stay in the capital for a few more days, and go to a banquet with me later to eat, have a look?"

This is obviously an invitation with bad intentions.

Xie Yunxi frowned, and glared at him sullenly. She didn't bother to respond, so she just hummed coldly, picked up the tea and took a sip, thinking in her heart: It's a joke, why shouldn't he eat delicious food at home? Eat someone else's banquet.

After three tours of wine and five flavors of food, when the banquet is over, everyone returns to camp.

Walking on the campsite in the western suburbs, there was an endless stream of greetings. It was not until they entered the [-]-meter range of Xie's camp that the noise gradually dissipated.

The hustle and bustle behind him went away, Huaiyuan, Ah Qi and others held lanterns, leading the way forward.

The four brothers and sisters of the Xie family slowed down and walked leisurely in the countryside.

The four walked unhurriedly, with the sea of ​​stars above their heads and the weeds rustling under their feet.

The cool evening breeze faded away the heat of the morning, blowing on the heavy dress, and the gorgeous brocade rippled slightly.

The moon is dim, the stars are twinkling, and the brocade is shimmering.

Surrounded by twilight, the four of Xie's family have a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament.

Similar yet distinctive facial features, slender body, leisurely footsteps, walking side by side.

Suddenly, in the soft light, it seems like four immortals descending from the clouds.

Apart from the servants of the Xie family who led the way with lanterns, there were also four royal guards escorting them all the way. After all, it was an event organized by the royal family, so no matter how careful they were about safety, they couldn't be too careful.

The four royal guards guarded the surroundings, but their eyes often glanced uncontrollably at the four brothers and sisters of the Xie family.

Just looking at one of them is already admirable, but now you can see all of them at once, and it is still in such a beautiful time.

The starry night is brighter than Xie Jiaerlang.

The four fields are vast, and only beautiful women can be seen in the eyes.

The guard with a silver knife couldn't help feeling: No wonder just now at the banquet, the eyes of the girls from all families wanted to stick to the three gentlemen, but the young men knew that Miss Xie Er was hot-tempered, but they still licked their faces. Be courteous.

And the golden knife guard who was leading the way recalled the extremely embarrassing Shura scene that happened at the banquet.

Princess Yanruo is the second princess of Emperor Yan. Her mother's family is not obvious, but she is outstanding in talent and appearance. She is the most brilliant princess in the royal family. She has always been loved by Emperor Yan.

But the emperor's liking is utilitarian.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is just a rare commodity to live in.

Emperor Yan worked hard to train Princess Yanruo, but his purpose was to marry her into an aristocratic family. After all, the big families only said they couldn't marry a girl, but they didn't have any obvious rejection of marrying a royal princess.

Even in the Xie family, there was a precedent for the Xie family's husband marrying a royal princess as a wife a hundred years ago.

Of course, the princess who entered Xie's house was very talented and beautiful.

Emperor Yan felt that his daughter was no worse than that princess, so he already had some ideas, but now seeing Xie Yunxi, he naturally became more impatient.

He was naturally thinking very realistically, Xie Wenqing was the eldest son, the future Patriarch of the Xie family, this identity was too sensitive, the Xie family would never let him marry a royal princess.

And Xie Yuyan will definitely inherit the Xie family in the capital city in the future, so naturally he will not choose a royal girl to marry.

Only Xie Yunxi is different, he is Xie Min's posthumous son, he has a noble status, he is also the head of the family, but he does not need to bear the responsibility of the head of the family, he is the most free.

As for the expatriate, with the current attitude of the Xie family, it is obvious that he will stay in the Xie family in Langya.

Langya is the ancestral property of the Xie family, and also the core of the Xie family. If his daughter can be allowed to penetrate into it, then there will be the most direct marriage relationship between the royal family and the Xie family.

In a few years, there will be heirs of the same blood, so no matter what the Xie family will do, they will subtly maintain their Yan family's imperial power.

Emperor Yan's plan was a good one, but the son of the aristocratic family is not a good person. After he told Xie Yunxi the name of Princess Yan Ruo more than three times, basically the major aristocratic families have seen his thoughts.

He thought he was obscure, but he didn't know Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the road knew it.

The Golden Knife Guard recalled the eerie atmosphere at the banquet at that time, and couldn't help but sweat for Emperor Yan.

Especially at that time, Xie Wenqing and Xie Nianhua didn't give any face to them, they knocked the teacup on the food table directly, the tea water collapsed and the water stains ticked.

The Golden Knife Guard still remembered those two tacit and loud knocking sounds, which were obviously just a clasp of a cup, but they were like thunder from nine heavens, and they still seemed to be around their ears until now, unable to dissipate for a long time.

But at that time, it was Xie Yuyan who impressed Golden Knife Guard the most.

This Xie Jiashiro has lived in the capital all year round. As the royal guard, he naturally has frequent contact with him.

In my impression, this gentleman loves to smile very much, and his eyebrows are always crooked. It seems that he has never seen his shame on others, and he treats them guards and servants very kindly.

But at that time, it was the first time he saw this gentleman with a dark face, deep eyes and no warmth.

The cold pupils seemed to be looking at a dead person.

The golden knife guard was standing diagonally opposite Xie Yuyan at that time, and with a quick glance, he happened to see him looking at Emperor Yan.

Although it was only for a short moment, the flash of coldness made his hairs stand on his head, and the cold air rushed to the top.

Escorting the four gentlemen of the Xie family, the golden knife guard secretly glanced at Xie Yuyan.

In the moonlight, under the lights, Xie Yuyan was holding Xie Yunxi's arm and shaking it from side to side, with a grievance on his face, chattering in his mouth, as if he was being coquettish, or complaining about something.

He listened carefully, and only heard a few words such as "the banquet meal is unpalatable", "very hungry", "want to eat supper", which was very similar to the words of his younger brother when he was picky about eating or making a fuss about eating snacks. appearance.

Looking at it, he is innocent and harmless, but he is just a beautiful, tender, pampered noble son.

And at that time, the cold and deep eyes, as if he wanted to change the dynasty on the spot and kill the king and seize the throne, seemed to be just an illusion of his.

But at that time, if Xie Yunxi hadn't spoken out and given Emperor Yan a step, I'm afraid today's banquet would have ended unhappy.

As for what will happen after the unhappy breakup, the golden knife guard dare not think about it.

Thinking hard.

Trembling, he withdrew his gaze, not daring to peek or listen carefully.

Ignorance is bliss, and he's just a little guy trying to make ends meet.

After a while, everyone walked to the front of the camp, and the surrounding figures were shaking, and the guards were heavily guarded.

"Three gentlemen, Miss Xie, the subordinates will leave first."

After the guards completed their tasks, the leader of the golden knife guard immediately bowed his hands, and after getting the answer, Dang even led his people to turn around and leave.

The footsteps are hurried and slightly messy.

Seeing his running back, Xie Yunxi pouted, "Why do I feel that this person seems to be afraid of you."

After entering the tent, took off his shoes, sat on the couch, then looked sideways at Xie Yuyan, who was sitting over, and asked curiously, "Shiro, you didn't play any tricks on that guard, did you?"

When he was a child in Langya, Xie Yuyan would often do some pranks, which were harmless but extremely annoying.

Especially during the holidays, when relatives' children come to the house, he always likes to torment others. Those children who have been tossed before still regard him as a scourge and run away as soon as they see him.

Although he has rarely "relapsed" over the years, but after all, he has "convicted convictions", who knows if he will come up with a whim and play a prank again.

Xie Yuyan's eyes flickered slightly, undetectable.

Tilting his head, with clear eyes, he asked innocently: "Huh? Afraid of me? How is it possible? I've been quiet all these years, and the elders in my family praised me for being smarter than you."

Immediately, the misfortune was diverted again, "Third brother, it's dark outside, you must be looking around, um, maybe you are afraid of the elder brother and the second sister."

Speaking of this, he clapped his hands suddenly, and said in a loud voice: "I think it's very possible. You didn't see the elder brother and the second sister just now, and you almost flipped the table on the spot. That look is scary."

This wave of claims is well-founded, and it really sounds like this.

Xie Yunxi recalled that at the banquet, Emperor Yan's oblique attitude, trying to push his own daughter to him, although he was not very sensitive to these things, but he was not stupid. He chatted about this matter, but mentioned his own daughter from time to time. daughter.

This implied that what he did was really not clever enough, and it was still regarded as the face of so many aristocratic families.

"Hey, it's no wonder the second uncle said that our Majesty is good at keeping his business, but there is nothing else to comment on."

With this scheming, Xie Yunxi doubted how this man managed to become God.

After much deliberation, I can only think of one sentence: stupid people have stupid blessings.

Xie Yunxi believed what Xie Yuyan said, and immediately turned to Xie Wenqing and Xie Nianhua who had taken off their shoes and sat up, "Tsk tsk tsk, brother, second sister, look, how scared the guards are, I just took a look, That body is still trembling."

It's really easy to cheat.

Xie Nianhua glared at him secretly, and thought: Brat, you are used to putting on a show, and you are the one with the darkest heart.

Xie Yuyan sensed his gaze and immediately looked back.

The two siblings looked at each other, Xie Yuyan understood, but he just blinked innocently and smiled innocently and innocently.
