Chapter 804 Annual Banquet (2)

"It's fine if Mr. Yan likes it. I'll send a fresh batch over in a few days." Mo Yan agreed with a smile.

This New Year's gift from the Mo family to each family, apart from some fruits and vegetables that are not seen in winter, are all kinds of fruit wine. There are plenty of these in the space, and its decent to give away.

Although she was talking to Yan Junyu, Mo Yan's attention was focused on Xiao Ruiyuan, who was walking slowly. Seeing his still cold face, I unexpectedly thought of the unexpected kiss the night before, and my little face couldn't help but blush slightly.

Fortunately, it was already dark and the palace lanterns along the road were not very bright, so no one noticed anything strange about Mo Yan.

Xiao Ruiyuan's dark eyes were locked tightly on Mo Yan, and could no longer tolerate anyone else. Seeing her eyes dodge slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and her low and soothing voice told someone's story. In a good mood: "Can I go with Lord Jiajun?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all those present who did not know the inside story were instantly shocked.

Xiao Ruiyuan was young and resourceful, and had great military exploits. He was not only highly valued by Emperor Hui'an, but he was also the right-hand man of the prince of the country. It can be said that there was no young man with more promise than him in the entire Chu State.

Moreover, his impeccable appearance attracted countless women in his boudoir, and there were countless nobles from aristocratic families who wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law.

Its not that no one has had Xiao Ruiyuans idea, but its a pity that every woman who risked everything to get in was dismissed by the secret guards without even touching the corner of her clothes.

Those who came to ask for information, who could not be easily offended, were politely invited into the house, but ended up walking out depressed with a belly full of tea; let alone those who could be offended, they simply couldn't get in. .

As time passed, those who had failed repeatedly gradually figured it out and realized that Xiao Ruiyuan was not interested in women. Although he is unwilling to do so, he can only accept this fact. After all, it is okay for a man to delay getting married for three to five years, but a woman cannot afford to delay.

But what do they see now? General Xiao, who has always been kind to women, actually took the initiative to invite Lord Jia to go with him. If he said there was nothing wrong with him, even a fool would not believe it.

Mo Yan didn't expect that Xiao Ruiyuan would make such an invitation. She noticed those thoughtful glances and felt slightly uncomfortable, but she didn't refuse because of it. She just looked very polite in her words: "It's Hejia's job to be able to travel with Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yan." pleasure!"

The distant words made Xiao Ruiyuan frown, but he was still concerned about the woman's reputation. He nodded slightly and said nothing more. He just stepped forward and stood between Mo Yan and Yan Junyu, with an arm's length distance between the three of them.

Yan Junyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Ruiyuan meaningfully. However, he met two warning glances, curled his lips unwillingly, and looked away.

In this way, this trio with outstanding appearance and extraordinary status attracted the attention of many people along the way. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, they walked into the Qinghe Hall where the annual banquet was held calmly.

The Qinghe Hall is a place specially used to hold large-scale palace banquets, and the annual banquet is held here. In addition to eating and drinking with the king of a country, singing and dancing are also indispensable for the entertainment. Therefore, the palace is very spacious, only smaller than the largest Hall of Supreme Harmony.

A lot of people had gathered in the main hall, mostly ministers and ladies of low rank. After being reminded by the little eunuch, these people also knew Mo Yan's identity. So as soon as the three of them entered the hall, the ministers brought their respective His wife stepped forward to salute.

The three of them are impatient with this kind of thing, but when they are involved in it, they can only deal with it patiently.

Fortunately, not long after, the young **** singing and cheering loudly could be heard outside the palace. Everyone looked in unison and saw Emperor Hui'an and Chu Heng supporting the Queen Mother into the Qinghe Hall, one on the left and the other on the right. Behind the three of them were numerous concubines, princesses, and princes and princes.

Everyone knelt down to welcome the three most distinguished people in Da Chu. After Emperor Hui'an ascended the dragon throne and Jinkou announced "rise", they all stood up and took their seats.

The seats in the palace are divided into two parts: the left and the right. The royal family members and civil and military ministers are on the left, and the princesses and princesses and the imperial wives are on the right. The higher the grade, the further forward the seat will be. Each person's seat is a long table three feet long and two feet wide, with exquisite refreshments already placed on it.

Mo Yan, Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu are all of the same rank. Their seats are facing each other, with only about four feet between them. When you look up, you can clearly see what the people opposite are doing.

The New Year's banquet has not officially started yet, and he cannot talk casually. Mo Yan was a little bored for a moment, so he stared at the exquisite pastries on the table and began to study them. From its patterns and shapes, he guessed the raw materials that might be used, and how to control the heat. It really gave her some insights.

After Xiao Ruiyuan sat down, his eyes never left Mo Yan. Seeing her staring at the plate of pastries motionless at this time, he mistakenly thought that she was hungry, and frowned and asked Yan Junyu beside him: "How long do you have to wait?"

Yan Junyu mistakenly thought that Xiao Ruiyuan was hungry. Just as he was about to speak, he saw his eyes moving to the opposite side. Following his gaze, he immediately "realized" and encouraged: "If you feel distressed, why don't you ask the little **** who is serving you to go over and say something? Isn't this pastry just for people to eat?"

Yan Junyu's voice was not too quiet, at least it was heard by the neighboring tables. This person was none other than the Sixteenth Prince.

The sixteenth prince mistakenly thought that the general he admired most was hungry, so he quickly asked the young **** standing by to bring the cakes on the table to Xiao Ruiyuan.

This move attracted the attention of many people. Emperor Hui'an who was talking to the Empress Dowager also noticed it and asked with a little curiosity in his voice: "Xiao Liu, why did you give your cake to Xiao Aiqing?"

The Sixteenth Prince seemed not to have expected to be seen by his father, and said with some embarrassment: "General Xiao is hungry, but he doesn't eat the cakes on the table. I guessed that General Xiao doesn't like salty cakes, so I took it upon myself to do it." This sweet pastry was given to General Xiao."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on the plate of sweet cakes sent by Xiao Ruiyuan and the Sixteenth Prince, showing expressions of sudden enlightenment, as if they knew something important.

It turns out that the taste of this iron-blooded general is so strange!
