Chapter 79 (1/2)
The largest house in Shenjing city is naturally the Baidi palace. Undoubtedly, the size of Shenjing city can be divided into three parts. However, the reason why people in Shenjing unconsciously exclude it is that it is not a house in a strict sense. It is a city in a city.
Just after dusk, the Jiaming hall, which was used for Royal feasts in the White Emperor's palace, was full of lights and bells and drums. The huge hall was full of banquets, with 108 tables, and accompanied by solemn and solemn bell music, the whole dynasty shared food.
Empress Wu sat at the top table with two empty tables beside them. They belonged to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. Zhao Yu did not attend. However, the old empress dowager showed her face and said a few words of good fortune. With the help of the maid, she went back to Lingbo hall.
Below the Empress Wu sits the city master of Liuli city and Xu Sheng, the Duke of the state of Wei. The female saints in the ice field hide their faces and hide them in the glare.
Then it is divided into three columns, according to the civil servants, military generals and zongmen, from top to bottom according to the rank of officials, ranks and generations of cultivation. The atmosphere of the whole hall is solemn and solemn, raising glasses to each other, bowing and nodding to greet each other.
The Empress Wu and the female saints left shortly after the banquet. The atmosphere in the hall of virtue of Ming Dynasty became active. All the dignitaries sitting in the hall were the most powerful in the summer, but they had not seen it for a long time. Naturally, they drank and drank wine and were very lively.
The banquet held by Zhao, the leader of the great Xia Dynasty, is the largest in history. Even the younger generation of generals and followers have been invited, but the banquet is set up in the side hall.
But at this time, the atmosphere of the side hall is not good, on the contrary, there is a sense of tension.
No matter how busy and noisy the Jiaming hall is, the Lingbo hall near the imperial garden of Baidi palace is always quiet and peaceful. After all, the old empress dowager is old and does not like to move. Therefore, under the protection of layers, no sound from outside can be introduced.
However, in Lingbo hall today, the old empress dowager burst out laughing again and again. The old empress dowager has not laughed so wantonly for nearly ten years.
Lingbo hall is full of fragrance. On the table carved with red sandalwood, there are several delicacies. The old empress dowager has always been simple and refuses to be extravagant and wasteful. Therefore, there are not many dishes, and most of them are vegetable dishes.
Besides the old empress dowager, there are two small figures sitting at the table.
The rouge girl was still holding a small cloth bag that she would never leave her hand, because it contained the money she had worked hard to earn. She ate in small mouthfuls and answered the Empress Dowager's questions seriously while eating. On the contrary, she was a waiter sitting on the side, who was somewhat restrained and worried and uneasy.
The old empress dowager, who had just come back from Jiaming palace, was ruddy and had more rice than usual. Looking at the rouge girl in front of her, her eyes were full of smile and she asked, ”is it delicious?”
The little girl nodded and replied, ”it's delicious. It's the most delicious food I've ever had.”
Just want to shout in front of the old empress dowager, but do not know what to shout, so there was a pause for a moment.
