Chapter 159: The Night Banquet in the Palace
Heaven is forgivable; and thou shalt not live. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at Li Yi's puzzled face, as if suffering from amnesia, as if he had completely forgotten what "perfume" was, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched.
"Ten taels of silver?" Li Xuan tentatively spoke.
Li Yi glanced at him, looking unmoved.
In the past, when the poor family couldn't open the pot, ten taels of silver was indeed a huge amount of money for him, and he didn't have to worry about eating, but now, he doesn't know how many ten taels of silver come into the account every day, and he can completely do it without bending his waist for this bit of silver.
Seeing that his amnesia was not yet healed, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I just found a good horse recently...... I've got you! ”
"Two bottles at most, no more!"
Li Yi glanced at him and finally spoke.
Often running around in the village and the city, always renting a carriage at the car shop is not a way, it is also the time...... Let Li Xuan give him a horse.
Just because he said two more words, he lost a good horse worth hundreds of taels of silver, Li Xuan was depressed, and after leaving an invitation, he left with two bottles of perfume and left depressed.
"Two days later, the princess's birthday banquet ......" Li Yi opened the invitation, glanced at it, and put it aside.
Although he was not interested in the princess's birthday banquet, since Li Xuan had already sent an invitation, it was not easy for him to lose face.
At most, eat and drink, eat and be full, the style of Ning Wangfu is so high, there should be no shortage of delicacies and delicacies, speaking of which, he really doesn't know what good things those royal nobles usually eat......
Thinking like this, the feeling of reluctance in my heart was slightly lessened.
It's just that Li Xuan is too stingy, and only one invitation card is given, otherwise a few more people will go, at least the cost will be recovered.
Li Xuan's goods are idle, whether it is the portrait or the perfume, he is all himself, he just waits for the receipt, and it is very light to knock him on a horse.
…………
Of course, the place where the princess's birthday banquet was held was in Ning Wangfu, although Li Yi was not familiar with the road, but he was dragged over by Li Xuansheng last time, and he still knew the road.
The status of King Ning's Mansion is transcendent, King Ning's face cannot be ignored, and the princess's birthday banquet will naturally have no fewer guests.
The people who came were all well-known figures in Qing'an Mansion, civil and military officials, and even many people came to the capital, Li Yi saw Steward Wang standing at the door from afar, greeting every guest with a smile, and by the way, checking their invitations, accepting the congratulatory gifts one by one, and registering them in the book.
"I will keep my eyes open for a while, only recognize the invitation card and not the person, no matter who comes, you can't let him in without the invitation." Taking advantage of his free time, Steward Wang gave a lecture to a few subordinates who welcomed him at the door.
The princess's birthday banquet is a major event, tonight's palace, but there are many big people, in addition to the dignitaries and nobles in the city and the capital, there is also this autumn festival, from the new science and technology of Qing'an Mansion, the princess's birthday banquet is one of them, inviting people of insight to talk about state affairs, is also the highlight of tonight.
The welcome area at the door is a very important part, and if something goes wrong, no one can afford it.
Listening to Steward Wang's words, several subordinates hurriedly said yes.
Steward Wang has been out of the limelight in recent days, and is expected to become the number one seed for the chief steward of the palace after the old butler retires.
"Yo, Li Gongzi, you can be regarded as here, the little prince has been waiting for a long time." When Steward Wang saw Li Yi coming from a distance, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he hurriedly ran over.
This time, his welcome to Li Yi was indeed sincere.
Ruyilu's business has brought huge profits to the palace, and the spirits that have just been launched have caused many people to grab good wines, and the popularity is even more than that of Ruyilu.
The profits brought by the past few days alone have already made Steward Wang smile from ear to ear.
In the past few days, Steward Wang seemed to see mountains of gold and silver smashing towards him.
Even the prince praised the liquor a lot, and praised him in front of everyone, and the king steward was even floating when he walked these days.
I thought that in this life, at most, I could only be a small foreign affairs housekeeper, but it was Li Yi who brought him hope, if it weren't for the fact that the little prince had a close relationship with him, Steward Wang would have wanted to make a blood alliance with him and worship as a brother of the opposite sex.
Although the previous butler Wang was equally warm and polite, he had never seen him so eager, and several people from the palace who were in charge of welcoming him couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this.
The few guests who had just presented the congratulatory gifts and had not yet stepped through the door also turned their heads to look at this scene, with the same look of surprise on their faces.
This person is young, and the housekeeper of this palace is so polite to him, could it be that he is not a big man?
"Steward Wang, long time no see." Li Yi smiled and arched his hand to him, and handed over the object in his hand.
After thinking about it, he also felt that there was no gift to give, send something more valuable, the palace was not lacking, and he was reluctant to buy it, and he was afraid of stealing Li Xuan's limelight if it was a little novel, of course, the main reason was that he was too lazy to bother......
It is better to write this birthday message by handwriting, full of sincerity and unconventional.
A birthday message, half an hour can be done, and it took a little time to wait for the ink to dry, so I found a random shop to frame it, and then took it over to rub the rice...... Attended the birthday banquet of the palace.
"This son, please show your invitation."
A person hurriedly ran over, took something from Li Yi's hand, and said with a smile.
"Something that has no eyes, go aside, does Li Gongzi need an invitation?" Steward Wang reprimanded the person with a calm face, then looked at Li Yi and said with a smile: "Li Gongzi, I'll take you in, the little prince said, as long as you come, let me take you to him immediately." ”
Seeing that Steward Wang took the young man in, the reprimanded subordinate looked confused.
Didn't Steward Wang say it himself just now, no matter who comes, do you have to show the invitation, and only recognize the invitation and not the person?
Tonight's palace is very lively.
Li Yi walked all the way, and saw a lot of men and women in gorgeous costumes, talking and laughing at the table in the courtyard, among which there were many Confucian scholars, with extraordinary bearing, and in a vacant space next to it, there were singers singing, and their voices were tactful......
This atmosphere is somewhat similar to the poetry meeting I participated in.
Maybe the banquets of the ancients liked this tune, and after following the king steward to turn left and right, and after going deep into the palace, gradually, the voice of the people became quieter.
[ps: Tragedy, I was called to school by my tutor to help, I was about to be busy for a week, take time every day, try to maintain two more first, if I can't write it, wait until I go home and make it up slowly, sorry.! ] (To be continued.) )
