Why are you so anxious?

The banquet in the palace has always been full of singing and dancing on the surface, full of flowers, bells, drums and music, leisurely and endlessly.But if it is true that the wine is fragrant and the food is delicious, it is just like that.The color, fragrance and taste are beautiful, and the exquisiteness is ten thousand times more delicate than the things outside, but the night in August is cool, and the palace servants brought the dishes from the imperial dining room to the table, and most of the dishes were completely cold.And most of these dishes are meat-based, so in comparison, they are more greasy than ordinary dishes.

Therefore, like Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin, there are no fewer people who find something to eat before the banquet.The meritorious dignitaries of civil and military ministers and dignitaries of the left and right did not really come to the palace to eat, and it was just a kind of honor to be invited to the inner palace to have a banquet by the Tian family.Similar to those banquets with various names in later generations, it is just another form of social interaction.What everyone pays attention to in the competition is often not the dishes themselves, but the demeanor and witty of the guests during the banquet, and even the communication between the guests and the host.

Therefore, when most people drink and taste food, they mostly show how elegant and gentle their behavior is, and the food they eat is not much worse than cat food.

Even so, when Jun Shaoyou was doing a show and eating food tonight, he still felt that the food was greasy than before.Jun Shaoyou just took a few bites, he was so disgusted that he vomited again and again, and could hardly hold back his desire to vomit.

Seeing this, Zhuang Lin couldn't help but patted Jun Shaoyou's back with concern, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. I think it's because I'm tired of eating these days, and my stomach is a little sour." After speaking, Jun Shaoyou put down his chopsticks with a pale face, covered his lower abdomen with his right hand and said, "I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. You can go out for a walk with me."

Zhuang Lin nodded, and asked again: "Do you want to give you an imperial doctor's pulse?"

"No need. Today is a good day for the mid-autumn festival in August. If I recruit an imperial physician at this time, I will be in trouble for His Majesty. It will not be beautiful for the empress to embarrass her while she is having an attack." Jun Shaoyou said, seeing drinking At the banquet, there was a lot of drinking and talking, and no one noticed him for a while.Immediately quietly got up and left the table, followed by Zhuang Lin, and the two tiptoed out of the hall.

Once out of the Tai Chi Hall, a gust of cool wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers blows towards my face.Zhijiao immediately woke up better.Jun Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Zhuang Lin: "Maybe it's because the smell of wine and vegetables inside makes you uncomfortable, and you feel much better after coming out."

Zhuang Lin responded with a smile: "That being the case, let's not go back. Take a walk in the imperial garden, and I heard that watching the flowers under the moon is a special experience."

Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, but did not answer, and let Zhuang Lin drag him towards the Royal Garden.I just feel that the more I walked, the quieter and cooler it became, and the noise and noise in the Tai Chi Hall were all left behind.Jun Shaoyou looked up at the silver moon hanging in the night sky. The moonlight poured down on the earth like a veil, coating all pavilions, towers, pavilions, flowers, plants and trees with a layer of silver light.Looking far away, the brilliance of this bright moon is actually brighter than the strings of glazed palace lanterns under the eaves.

Zhuang Lin stretched out his hand to hold Jun Shaoyou's hand, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said: "The ancients said that people who spend a good full moon will last forever. Shaoyou, we are now spending a good full moon. Would you like to spend a long time with me?"

Jun Shaoyou paused, and turned to look at Zhuang Lin beside him. The moonlight shrouded his outline, adding a bit of softness to the sharp-edged Zhuang Lin during the day.At this moment, Zhuang Lin's dark eyes were fixed on Jun Shaoyou.His eyes were clear, full of hope, and even faintly begged a few times.

Jun Shaoyou looked at Zhuang Lin who was so soft and uncertain, he was silent for a long time, and said: "If you don't let me down, I will definitely live up to you."

Zhuang Lin took a deep look at Jun Shaoyou, and said, "Okay. You have to remember what you said, you can't leave me if you live up to me. A gentleman."

Jun Shaoyou shook his head amusedly, and pulled Zhuang Lin all the way through the flowers and willows to the Yuelongchi.The two walked into the gazebo by the pool and sat leaning against the vermilion railing.I could hear the evening wind beating the lake, the sound of lotus leaves swaying, the full moon in the sky shining on the lake, sparkling, and the faint sound of silk and bamboo bells coming from the direction of the Taiji Hall in the distance.The more lively it is, the more peaceful and pleasant it is.

Jun Shaoyou folded his arms on the railing, watching the full moon in the sky and in the water competing for glory up and down, as if he was in a crystal palace.As soon as the breeze passes, the fresh scent of lotus leaves blows in your face, which is really refreshing.

Zhuang Lin waved his hand and whispered a few words to the little eunuch who was following him, and the little eunuch turned around and left immediately.Half a day later, two rough envoys carrying food boxes followed leisurely and turned around.After a few people bowed to Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou, they took out the fruits and snacks in the food box and placed them on the stone table one by one before quietly retreating.

Zhuang Lin reached out and handed a jasper bowl of sour plum soup to Jun Shaoyou, and said with a smile: "I saw that you felt cold and tired of eating wine and food, so I asked someone to bring two bowls of sour plum soup, do you have a taste? "

Jun Shaoyou took the jade bowl and took a sip of it. He felt sour and sweet, and the ice-cold feeling was very comfortable. He couldn't help smiling and said, "It's not bad, it's better than drinking."

Zhuang Lin pointed to several plates of snacks and seasonal fruits on the table and smiled: "I think you described it at the banquet just now, maybe you don't like to eat big fish and meat, so you just ordered someone to go to the imperial dining room to get some light food. Fruits and snacks. Let's eat while watching the moon, and we won't be hungry."

Jun Shaoyou reached out and took a piece of osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, took a bite, frowned and said, "It's still sweet, I don't like it."

After finishing speaking, he broke up the remaining half of the cake and threw it into the pond, attracting koi to compete for it.Zhuang Lin hurriedly put the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake aside, reached out and grabbed the raisins and handed them to Jun Shaoyou, saying, "Osmanthus flower cake is already sweet, you might try this again, maybe it will be better."

Jun Shaojiao nodded, casually threw one into his mouth and said it was okay, but he didn't eat the rest, and still threw it back on the plate.Instead, he pointed to the plate of grapes and said, "I want to eat seasonal grapes instead of raisins, so bring me some."

Zhuang Lin responded, and hurriedly dropped the raisins to get the grapes.Jun Shaoyou only carried a string in his hand.Zhuang Lin was sitting in front of Jun Shaoyou with a plate of grapes, and said with a smile: "I heard that your eldest brother returned to Beijing. I guess Yang Daimei will have to find you to talk about your elder brother's marriage when she comes over."

Jun Shaoyou shook his head, and said casually: "It's probably not going to happen. The son told me in the Imperial College that his mother also wanted to tell his eldest brother about the little lady of the Yuan family. Rumors. If His Royal Highness wants to, he will enter the palace to ask for a decree and a marriage in a few days. I think that the Duke Huguo’s mansion is pregnant with his family’s marriage. It's like they can't get through the house."

Zhuang Lin smiled slightly and said, "As you wish. It's not easy to force yourself for the bad things of others."

Jun Shaoyou responded.Because it is a banquet in the palace, even if there is no one around, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no ears on the wall.So Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin didn't say anything serious, they just chatted miscellaneously, just to pass the time.

Just as they were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard the sound of clothes shuffling behind them, steps swaying lightly, and rings jingling.The two turned around and saw that it was Princess Pingyang in full costume.Zhuang Lin frowned slightly, and asked directly, "Why are you here?"

Princess Pingyang smiled slightly, and said: "But I felt that the banquet was hot and noisy, so I just went out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet the big emperor brother and the big emperor's wife."

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly and saluted in a very gentle manner.

Zhuang Lin sneered and said, "Since that's the case, please ask my sister to walk around somewhere else. Shaoyou and I found a quiet and deserted place with great difficulty. We just wanted to rest in peace for a while, so we stopped greeting my sister."

After all, I don't care about people.Turning around, he said to Jun Shaoyou: "Although the grapes tribute from the Western Regions this year are sweet, but if you eat too much, you may have a sour stomach. I see there are some ice-skinned bean paste cakes on the table. You can try them too."

Seeing that Zhuang Lin hadn't finished speaking, Jun Shaoyou had already handed the bait to him, so he had no choice but to respond, reached out and took a piece of bait the size of a palm, broke it open, gave half of it to Zhuang Lin, and ate the other half by himself.Zhuang Lin bent down, took a bite of Jun Shaoyou's hand and said with a smile: "It's sweet, but not greasy. You must like it."

Jun Shaoyou rolled Zhuang Lin's eyes, and was about to sneer, but saw Pingyang standing in front of Yanyan still smiling, without any embarrassment.Unknowingly sighed, and said: "The moonlight is just right tonight. I heard that King Xiang paid a tribute to several epiphyllums this year. I think it should be this season. Why don't the princess move her jade toe to look forward, maybe you can It is unknown to see the blooming epiphyllum."

Princess Pingyang acted as if she had never heard of it, she just smiled and said: "Brother and sister-in-law have a really good relationship. If after Pingyang gets married, the scene with her husband can be half that of brother and sister-in-law, Pingyang will be satisfied gone."

Jun Shaoyou threw the cake bait in his hand back onto the plate, rubbed his hands to get rid of the crumbs sticking to his fingertips, and said with a meaningful smile: "I think that whether it's between husband and wife or between relatives and friends, if you want to be sincere, It is not very useful to just look at Yuanyuan and envy fish. You have to work hard to manage and maintain relationships carefully. Help others in adversity with the power within your power, and exchange for the trust of others with peace and sincerity. Only then can you love him. Only when you are stable and trustworthy, and have a clear stand, can others believe in you. If you only want to find ways to do things right and wrong, others can only act in return. One type of thing is more handy.”

Princess Pingyang pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "The eldest sister-in-law is very insightful. Pingyang was fortunate to hear what the eldest sister-in-law said, and it is better than reading books for ten years. Tonight is full of moons, and the eldest brother must have a lot to say to the eldest sister-in-law. If you want to talk, Pingyang will not bother you."

After speaking, he bowed his body and saluted, then turned around and left.

After Pingyang left, Zhuang Lin said to Jun Shaoyou: "What did you say to her? It's just a waste of words. For a person like her who claims to be smart and thinks she can play others in the applause, She won't learn a lesson if she isn't allowed to use all the tricks to set herself on fire."

Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "If I don't say something like that, what should I do if she stays in a daze and won't leave. I don't want to see her calculating face on such a beautiful day. Why don't I just say something like that?" Those words made the matter clear. In this way, with her pride, she won't talk about it and talk about disgusting people."

Zhuang Lin snorted, pointed to half of the cake bait on the plate and said, "Do you still want to eat? I saw you didn't eat much this night. If you don't like this, you can tell me what you want to eat." One sound, I asked the imperial dining room to make it for you."

Jun Shaoyou looked up at the sky, and said with a smile, "It's getting late. Let's sit down for a while and go back to the banquet. After all, it's the [-]th reunion banquet, so it's not good to leave the banquet for too long."

So the two of them sat down again before getting up and going back to the Tai Chi Hall.
