King Qin sat in the top position on the left hand side of the emperor, and his status is self-evident.
Su Yan inadvertently glanced at King Qin, only to find that King Qin happened to be looking at herself, no, to be precise, he was looking at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan also felt King Qin's gaze. He poured a glass of wine, waved it to King Qin, and drank it all in one gulp. King Qin did the same.
As soon as the wine glasses were placed on the table, the emperor's holy car arrived, and the whole room got up again to welcome the holy car.
The emperor strode up to the high position, sat down and looked down at the crowd kneeling on the ground, and then said in a deep voice: "Your honor is flat."
Su Yan stood up, looking at the high position slightly surprised, today is a family banquet, the emperor did not bring the queen, did something happen in the palace? Su Yan was faintly worried about the queen.
Su Yan sat down calmly, and saw the emperor standing up with a wine glass, saying: "Today is a family banquet, everyone is my relatives, so you don't have to restrain yourself."
Su Yan sat very close to the emperor, and could just see the wrinkled corners of the emperor's eyes. Su Yan could tell that the emperor was really happy at this moment, so much so that she couldn't manage her expression well.
The emperor laughed loudly: "I am very happy to have received a beauty bestowed by heaven today. All my dear friends, come and drink this cup with me."
After drinking a glass of wine, King Huai stood up and echoed, "The emperor is smart and capable. He has abandoned sage wisdom. Since he became the throne, he has made great achievements for thousands of years. The fact that God bestowed a beauty this time just shows that the emperor's merit has moved God. "Wang Huai is used to flattering horses, so what he said was sincere.
These words made the emperor Long Yan very happy, and immediately rewarded King Huai with a thousand taels of gold.
Such voices kept ringing in Su Yan's ears, and Su Yan's ears were almost callused. Su Yan whispered in Chu Yan's ear: "You said that the emperor has not yet reached fifty, so why is he so confused?"
Chu Yan turned around and whispered in Su Yan's ear: "Who doesn't like compliments, sometimes they know that those words are false, but after listening to them a lot, they will naturally take them seriously."
Su Yan felt reasonable, and smiled at Chu Yan.
King Qin raised his head and drank a glass of wine, looked away from the two of them coldly, sneered in his heart, he wanted to see how Chu Yan and Su Yan were still laughing later!
At the top, the emperor suddenly pointed at Prince Yan: "My brother, what do you think of this matter?"
When he was going to take Mu Xue back to the palace this afternoon, Prince Yan blocked him many times. Fortunately, he didn't listen to others, otherwise...he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
Prince Yan stood up and did not express any opinion on the matter, but just took a glass of wine and said to the emperor: "My congratulations, brother."
Prince Yan's reaction made the emperor a little unhappy, but before the emperor had any reaction, he heard King Qin say: "My son heard that the father got two jars of good wine a few days ago, since the father is today, why don't you take it out and reward it?" Erchen has a cup."
"You are well informed." Seeing the admiration for him in King Qin's eyes, the emperor turned his head and told Mu Ruhai, "Mu Ruhai, you take someone to fetch those two jars of wine, just take this opportunity today, I will drink with you."
Mu Ruhai took the order and left with the two young eunuchs. Because the emperor was happy, the people below felt more at ease. The whole hall was full of excitement.
The dishes at the banquet are always tasteless, Su Yan ate a few mouthfuls of cakes, quietly poured all the wine from the jug in front of her into Chu Yan's jug, and poured a pot of white water into her own jug.
Seeing Su Yan's small movements, a smile flashed in Chu Yan's eyes, but it was replaced by solemnity in an instant.
Su Yan was holding the pastry when Chu Yan suddenly grabbed her hand. Su Yan looked up at Chu Yan and asked, but Chu Yan didn't speak, and motioned Su Yan to look at the door.
Mu Ruhai walked slowly from the entrance of the hall with a tray in front of the emperor, and respectfully put a jar of wine on the table in front of the emperor.
Even though it was winter, Mu Ruhai's forehead was covered with fine sweat.
The emperor frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you to bring both jars? Why is one jar missing now?"
Mu Ruhai suddenly knelt down, bowed his head on the ground and tremblingly said: "It's a slave who is useless. On the way back, he was bumped into by a little eunuch and accidentally broke an altar. The little eunuch has already been locked up by the slave." Get up, as for the fault of the slave, I ask the emperor to punish me."
The smile on the emperor's face disappeared suddenly, and he reprimanded: "You are so old! How can you be so rash in your work! This is a century-old cellar, what a pity such a good wine!"
Mu Ruhai knelt down on the ground and did not dare to make a sound, and everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, bewildered by this sudden scene.
The sixth prince suddenly stood up and said: "My father's words are wrong. Since this is a hundred-year-old cellar, it is not something that ordinary people can drink. Now there is only one jar left. Maybe it is God's will."
The sixth prince's words made the emperor smile again, and he looked at Mu Ruhai and said, "Okay, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Ruhai stood up and bowed slightly to thank the sixth prince as if he was being pardoned.
The sixth prince was eloquent, and it was the first time King Qin took a serious look at him, but the look was cold.
Mu Ruhai opened the wine seal for the emperor, and a mellow aroma of wine immediately wafted out from the jar. It was just a small jar of wine, but the scent from inside filled the entire hall.
Several people who love wine praised repeatedly: "Good wine! Good wine!"
The emperor was also intoxicated by the aroma of the wine. He picked up the wine and took a sip, and poured the wine himself without pretending to be someone else.
Qin Wang narrowed his eyes, and suddenly stood up and said to the emperor: "Father, why don't you let my servant pour this glass of wine for you."
"Okay." The emperor laughed heartily, watching King Qin get up from his seat, with admiration in his eyes, and he kept praising him for his filial piety in his heart.
Qin Wang walked up to the emperor, picked up the wine jar and was about to pour wine, he seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said to the emperor: "Father, Prince Yan and Uncle Wang have worked hard for many years, why don't you give this first glass of wine to Uncle Emperor, To comfort the emperor's uncle for his years of hard work."
The emperor glanced at King Qin, knowing that his move was to win over Prince Yan, and immediately smiled heartily: "I'm sure."
King Qin also smiled, and walked directly to Prince Yan with the wine jar: "This first glass of wine, my nephew will fill it up for the emperor's uncle."
Prince Yan looked at King Qin with a calm expression: "Thank you, Your Highness."
When he was in front of Prince Yan's case, King Qin bent down to pour wine for Prince Yan. Chu Ruofei suddenly asked a question: "Father, do you think that the century-old wine has turned into fine nectar and jade dew?"
Chu Ruofei's words attracted everyone's attention to him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, King Qin quietly poured the pills hidden under his nails into the wine jar.
