Lin Wanyue swallowed her saliva before replying, "Yes."
At this moment, Lin Wanyue seemed to be able to hear the beating of her heart. She slowly adjusted her breathing and calmed down her nervousness before slowly raising her head...
Lin Wanyue raised her head and saw Li Zhao, who had frosty temples but still sharp eyes, she quickly lowered her gaze to avoid Tianyan.
Li Zhao took a few glances at Lin Wanyue, patted the case in front of him, and said, "Okay! Sure enough, there are teenagers in heroes. I didn't expect there are such suave teenagers in the military camp."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Wanyue felt that there were several beams of eyes in the hall looking at her. For the first time in her life, she was praised for her appearance. She couldn't help but feel hot. Fortunately, it was difficult for others to find her dark skin, otherwise she would be embarrassed...
"Young man, you rescued the widow's most beloved princess, and you took the hard work to escort the princess back to Beijing safe and sound. You have done a lot of credit. Tell me, what do you want the widow to reward you?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, this is all within the responsibility of the villain, and I dare not ask for a reward."
"Well... well, take credit without being arrogant, but if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished. Let the widow think about it... There is a vacancy in the position of Jingjing captain. Why don't the widow make you Jingjing captain?"
As soon as Li Zhao said this, the expressions of the people in the field changed: Although the rank of Jingjing Wei is not high, it is a very important position. The dispatch of the horses and horses in the capital and the deployment of Jingwei are all under the full authority of Jingjing Wei. In charge, when Jingjing Wei was vacant, King Yong, King Chu and even King Qi all nominated candidates. Later, due to the death of the good concubine, and then the assassination of Li Xian, the whereabouts of Li Xian were unknown. Li Zhao had no time to think about these, so he postponed the appointment. .
It's just that everyone present didn't expect that Li Zhao would bring up old things at this time, which caught them by surprise, and actually handed such an important position to an "outsider"!
Li Xian's eyes flashed, and she looked at Lin Wanyue from a distance.
Li Zhao, who was in the high position, had already seen the changes in the expressions of the people in the field. He looked at Lin Wanyue calmly, as if not in a hurry, and patiently waited for Lin Wanyue's reply.
Lin Wanyue lowered her head slightly. She didn't know what rank Jing Jingwei was, but judging from these three words, it should also be a very important position.
Lin Wanyue wanted to turn her head to look at Li Xian, to see if Li Xian could give her any advice, but she was abruptly restrained, and at this time she could only rely on herself.
Lin Wanyue closed her eyes, and after a while, she slowly opened them.
Li Zhao also looked at Lin Wanyue with great interest, waiting for her answer.
"The villain has thanked His Majesty for his trust in the villain, but the position of Jingjing Captain is not what the villain wants. It has met His Majesty's expectations. The villain deserves death for his sins, and please take it back from your Majesty."
After speaking, Lin Wanyue knelt down and bowed. He stretched out his hands straight in front of him, his sleeves spread out, and his forehead pressed against the cold ground.
As soon as Lin Wanyue said these words, several princes all showed expressions of relief, Li Xian's expression was still indifferent, looking at Lin Wanyue from a distance, her eyes were full of water.
"Lin Feixing, do you know how many people can't get the position of Captain Jing? Or do you have better plans? Get up and talk about what you want."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Rong Qi, the villain is from Xiachanjuan Village, Daze County. In the autumn of the twenty-sixth year of Yuanding, the villain was fourteen years old. He went to the mountains to collect medicine that day, but the Huns came and killed my entire village. One hundred and eighteen people, the whole village, including the villain's parents and sister, were all killed and no one was spared. The villain took care of the funeral and walked hundreds of miles on foot to join the army under General Li Mu's tent. Poor people, he helped the villain change into a military household to accommodate the villain and entered the military camp. Now it has been in a hurry for more than two years, although times have changed, Feixing does not dare to forget his original intention for a moment. In the bloody battle of the Huns, I want to get back this bloody revenge for the 118 people in my village. I also want to do my best to protect the people there, so that they will not repeat the mistakes of Feixing! Please forgive me, Feixing. I can't bear the heavy responsibility of the Jingjing captain, and I really don't want to be here!"
After listening to Lin Wanyue's explanation quietly, Li Zhao looked at the dark-skinned and stubborn young man standing under the stage, a little moved.
"Okay! Well said! If I have the arrogance of you, who would dare to leave the country? Who else would dare to violate my frontier? Good!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Wanyue cupped her hands, but she had a different thought in her heart: I just said this just now, it could be regarded as an answer to the princess' question...
"Hahahaha, very good, very good, the widow is as you wish!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"But you are in the military camp of Uncle Guo, and you can't talk about the affairs of the army. General Li Mu is solely responsible for the appointment and allocation of personnel. The few people trust him and don't want to interfere. Such a few people can't reward you. What official position..."
"The villain doesn't care about his position. As long as he can fight against the Huns, the villain will be satisfied. Besides, the commander's rewards and punishments are clearly defined.
"Okay, you have ambition, but you're always a villain who claims to be a widow. Although widowers can't interfere in military affairs at will, it doesn't mean widowers won't reward you. Lin Feixing accepts the order."
"The little guy is here!"
"Lin Feixing, you are not proud of your credit, your ambition is lofty, and you are very much in my heart, and you have made a lot of credit for escorting the eldest princess all the way back to Beijing. The few people reward you with thousands of households and food towns. After today's rhetoric, to be honored for military merit, remember to come to the capital to see the widow, the widow will be rewarded! Hahahahaha..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Will you remember?" Li Zhao turned to the eunuch in charge beside him and asked.
"Go back to Your Majesty, and write it down, this old slave will let the inner court draw up the decree."
"Um."
Li Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Lin Wanyue again: "Lin Feixing, now you have a thousand households of food, you don't need to call yourself a villain anymore, hahahaha!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, take your seat, come, let's have a feast!"
Li Zhao's voice fell, and from outside the hall, several people filed in first, with slender maids holding trays in their hands, and then several musicians came in carrying chimes and other instruments, and finally the singer and dancer came in.
The maid first knelt in front of Li Zhao's case, placed the nine cauldrons and eight guises on it one by one, then climbed up from the ground, bowed and pushed them away.
Fu knelt down in front of Li Zhu's desk again, and placed the eight tripods and seven guises neatly.
Next are the kings and princesses below the high platform.
Seven tripods and six guises were placed on the case of an adult vassal, and Li Xian had the same number as an adult vassal on the case of enjoying the ceremony of a vassal.
The underage prince Li Pei is only worthy of the six tripods and five guilds, while Li Yan only has five tripods and four guilds in front of him.
When the maids walked in front of Lin Wanyue, they were in trouble. It was the father-in-law who was beside Li Zhao who winked, and saw him bending down to Li Zhao's ear and asking in a low voice, "Your Majesty, how much will Lin Qianhu reward you? tripod?"
Li Zhao looked up and said, "Give Sanding!"
"Open seat!"
Li Zhao waved his sleeves, the music played, and the eight-column singers and dancers twisted their slender waists and came to the hall.
Lin Wanyue looked a little flattered and looked at the tripod cauldron that was installed in front of her: suckling pig, dried fish, and dried meat, as if she was in a dream.
Lin Wanyue stretched out her hand towards the case but didn't know how to do it. She looked at Li Xian's food case and wanted to see how Li Xian did it.
But on Li Xian's case, there was a seven-sided tripod containing beef, mutton, suckling pig, dried fish, dried meat, belly, and pork.
And the Qigui that contains: refined rice, steamed buns with white flour, three kinds of cakes that she can't name, and even soup and a kind of fruit...
Looking at this dazzling array of food, Lin Wanyue felt a little dizzy...
Li Xian also felt Lin Wanyue staring at her, showing a faint smile. She took the knife placed on the table and gently sliced the mutton on the side of the tripod, then raised it with her green jade finger. Meat slices, put in your mouth.
Lin Wanyue witnessed the steps of Li Xian's meal, touched the case, and found that there was indeed a knife between the two tripods.
Lin Wanyue's heart was overjoyed. She took the knife and, following Li Xian's example, cut a few knives on the golden-brown, fragrant suckling pig. Then she picked it up with her hand and put it in her mouth.
The aroma of meat immediately filled his lips and teeth, Lin Wanyue chewed the suckling pig in his mouth, squinting his eyes with a look of enjoyment.
Really delicious!
When Li Xian turned her head, what caught her eye was Lin Wanyue's expression. She couldn't help but smile. Thinking of this person's hard days in the military camp, her heart softened, and she called the palace maid behind her.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Bring the saucer, cut some meat from these three animals, and give it to Lin Qianhu."
"Here."
The palace maid took the saucer and knelt beside Li Xian's desk, ready to cut with a knife.
But she heard Li Xian say again, "This palace doesn't have much appetite, you should cut more."
"Here!"
The palace maid cut a large piece of beef, mutton, and pork on a plate, then got up and knelt down beside Lin Wanyue's desk.
Seeing the maid kneeling beside her desk, Lin Wanyue's body froze involuntarily, and she was still unable to get used to being kneeled by others...
"Lin Qianhu, Your Highness will reward you with three meats."
The palace servant pushed the plate in front of Lin Wanyue in a proper manner, then bowed to Lin Wanyue again before getting up and retreating to the back.
"Thank you, Princess." Lin Wanyue turned to Li Xian and cupped her hands.
Li Xian smiled slightly and replied in a low voice, "Fei Xing doesn't need to be too polite, just enjoy it, and if it's not enough, then tell me to this palace."
Hearing Li Xian's words, Lin Wanyue's face flushed, and she rubbed her nose embarrassedly, "I am afraid that her appetite has left a deep impression on Her Royal Highness...
Liguo has a strict ritual and music system. Beef and mutton are only allowed to be used for sacrificial rituals. If you eat them without authorization, you will be decapitated. If ordinary people want to taste it, they can only choose one of them as food for entertaining guests when they are married. , But the price of beef and mutton is not low in the folk, especially cattle are the lifeblood of farmers, so few people will be so extravagant at wedding banquets.
Lin Wanyue had lived for 16 years and had never eaten beef or mutton. Today, thanks to Li Xian, she was considered unprecedented!
For all the vassal kings, it was not surprising that they ate too much of this kind of food. After taking a few symbolic bites, they began to order people to pour wine, lift the wine bottle to respect Li Zhao's wine or self-made wine. Drink for yourself.
Some hit festivals and songs, and some enjoy singing and dancing.
In the entire hall, only Lin Wanyue was immersed in the delicious food in front of her from the beginning to the end without raising her head or opening her eyes.
Li Xian looked at Lin Feixing, the three animals that she had admired were swept away, and then saw that the food in the other three tripods was also gone. Li Xian was a little stunned: this Lin Feixing actually eats more than she imagined. Big!
Li Xian had to look Lin Wanyue up and down again, and was amazed: How could this thin person eat so much meat in one go
Li Xian was afraid that Lin Wanyue would hurt her spleen and stomach by eating only meat, so she deliberately summoned the palace maid behind her to put some cooked vegetables and fruits in the seven guilds in front of her for Lin Wanyue to take...
As a result, these things were also swept away by Lin Wanyue one by one, and there was nothing left...
