In fact, the main thing to do to host the Qionglin Banquet is to mobilize the atmosphere, give a few elegant questions to the scholars, and then lead them to a wine tasting game, and finally return home after enjoying themselves.

In the past, this was a wedding banquet to celebrate their high school, and the new scholars would prefer the drinking and games later, but this year is different, not only Emperor Wuxuan came with the empress in person, but most of the civil officials and Confucians in the court also came. Behind the screen on the high platform, there may still be the Empress Dowager and Princess Mingxia sitting behind the screen. These immature scholars who have not experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom, all of them are a little trembling when they see such a big scene all of a sudden. .

Most of them have self-knowledge, especially those who are low-ranking and unattractive. Although they dare not look like Princess Mingxia, they also hope to make a good impression in front of Emperor Wuxuan and the ministers.

Except for the children of eunuchs who were born in powerful backgrounds, everyone else thought that if they could get into the eyes of any of the high-ranking officials on the scene and promote them a little bit in the officialdom, they would be very lucky.

Therefore, all the scholars in this class focused on the first half of the game of writing questions. If there are brilliant poems and strategies written by the presiding officials, they will be presented to His Majesty for appreciation, and they will show off. The name may also be remembered by Emperor Wuxuan and the ministers present.

They didn't care about the drinking and games in the second half, which were originally the most popular.

The first question, of course, is given by the host, Mr. Li, usually with two or three characters, and it can also be about things around you, such as flowers, birds, trees, green steps and flowing water, etc.

Today, Master Li, who has overwhelmed Bai Zhende again, has a happy expression on his brows, and he is quite complacent. He even asked a few questions about youthful spirit and lofty aspirations, which is in line with the state of mind of this group of fledgling young people. It quickly became lively, and many of the people at the bottom left the table, and got together in twos and threes, writing poems and speeches, talking about governance strategies and personal opinions, etc.

Emperor Wu Xuan also got a few poems that were submitted, spread them out one by one, and admired them together with Mu Qing.

Princess Mingxia next to her didn't seem interested in any of the young people below, even the most handsome Tanhualang couldn't make her take a second look. Instead, she glanced at the empress and empress who were sticky with each other from time to time, The expression is a little excited.

Those people below are crooked, and they are not as good as her emperor's cousin, let alone Mu Qing, who was transformed into a male vixen.

I don't know where the emperor's cousin met the queen. She can be so beautiful, and she doesn't want to find someone who can have the appearance of the queen, but only half of him.

That's right, Princess Mingxia is actually a dead face control. She originally determined to find the most beautiful county matriarch in the world, but after she met Mu Qing, she quickly lowered her standards. The good-looking man has already been preempted by her emperor's cousin.

What's more, the two emperors and empresses were so well matched in both aura and appearance that it felt impossible for a third person to intervene.

Princess Mingxia looked at it for a while, secretly entertained for a while, and showed inexplicable excitement.jpg.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager didn't care about her. Concubine Hu Guifei looked at the Empress more times than her, and her expression was even more obvious. The difference was that one was an excited face with slightly flushed cheeks, and the other was a jealous face with gritted teeth.

Soon, after half a round of drinking, Eunuch Li, under the signal of Emperor Wu Xuan, said loudly to the audience: "Where is Chu, the grandson of the second-class Jinshi in western Guangdong? Please come forward, Your Majesty is here!"

"Cough-cough-!"

Not wanting to show off, Sun Zichu, who was hiding in the corner, paddling water and eating chicken, was suddenly called out. He was so frightened that a piece of chicken cartilage was almost stuck in his throat. After a loud cough, he spat out the piece of cartilage with difficulty. , to save a life.

After spitting out the chicken cartilage, Sun Zichu quickly took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then adjusted his clothes a little bit, and walked up to the high platform step by step under the subtle envious eyes of everyone.

When Sun Zichu walked to the two tables closest to the high platform, he saw Bai Jingyang's family and his eyes lit up.

Bai Jingyang nodded at him and made a gesture of reassurance. Sun Zichu, who was still a little uneasy at first, immediately calmed down as if he had been given a shot in the arm.

He walked up the steps steadily, until he stood a few steps away from Emperor Wuxuan, and then saluted the emperor in a regular manner. He also did not forget Empress Mu Qing, and saluted exactly the same as before.

After seeing that the empress was actually a man, Sun Zichu behaved normally, and did not show any strange eyes like other Jinshi, as if the empress should be like this.

Sure enough, after Sun Tzuchu's actions, Emperor Wuxuan looked at him more than a little bit kindly.

"Sun Jinshi is really handsome and looks like a talent."

Hearing Emperor Wuxuan's praise of his looks, not only was Sun Zichu not overwhelmed by flattery, but his heart sank.The emperor and Princess Mingxia really have such lame eyes that they see him as an "old man" who has become a relative? ?

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, Zi Chu is nothing more than a mediocre person." Sun Zichu hurriedly said, not only is he old, but also has a dull and stubborn personality that doesn't know how to turn, and he is not worthy of Princess Mingxia! ! 【Erkang hand

However, in the eyes of Emperor Wu Xuan, his self-deprecation was automatically interpreted as being calm and prudent, with a firm mind, not to be surprised by favor or humiliation. It is very rare for a new scholar from an ordinary family to face the saint for the first time and be praised. of.

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Wuxuan, who felt that he was very unusual, looked at Sun Zichu with a more kind gaze. After he also noticed this, Sun Zichu felt even more bitter in his heart, and he didn't know where he had attracted Emperor Wuxuan's attention. , obviously he has been acting very low-key since before the banquet, just like a transparent person who has no sense of finding.

Da Lei's current official position is not considered to be too many vacancies, so except for the top three with blue eyes who have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Academy, the rest, if they have no background, either stay in the imperial city and serve as some seventh-rank or so clerks. Officials are either sent to the localities to serve as magistrates, county magistrates, etc. Unless they make some special achievements, the chance of rising is very small, and Sun Tzu is fighting the latter way.

He stayed in the imperial city, unable to enter the Hanlin, and probably had no room for development. It is better to assign him to the west of Guangdong as a county magistrate due to Tuo Tuo's favor. Already without relatives, he can take good care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law with Abao.

Therefore, he does not need to perform well at the Qionglin Banquet to be valued by others.

But it is a pity that things backfired. The reality changes turbulently. How can it be as smooth as people imagined?

Emperor Wu Xuan showed his strong interest in him. He followed up and asked a lot of scattered and unconnected questions. It seemed that he asked wherever he thought of. Sun Zichu carefully answered them one by one based on his own understanding and ideas. .

"That's right, Sun Jinshi is indeed as rumored, diligent in his studies, and has his own unique understanding of the theory of governing the country. Given time, he will definitely become a great Confucian."

Emperor Wu Xuan spoke highly of him, but Sun Zichu felt a little panicked.

"Your Majesty is really absurd... Wait, rumors??"

Sun Zichu caught the point of Emperor Wu Xuan's words, is there any rumor about him in the imperial city?

Emperor Wu Xuan smiled mysteriously: "Other people in the imperial city may not know, but I naturally have a special channel, and I can know the world's affairs without traveling thousands of miles. When Sun Jinshi was in western Guangdong, he had seen hell. A person who has dealt with the underworld."

Sun Zichu was taken aback. He didn't expect Emperor Wu Xuan to know this. He was almost left in the underworld to handle documents.

"Yes, thanks to the help of Divine Doctor Bai and my wife, A Bao, I was able to return to Yang." Sun Zichu said calmly.

"Since Sun Jinshi has been to the underworld, can you describe to me what the scene is like there, and what punishment will be given to the evil spirits who committed crimes in the mortal world after they die?"

Emperor Wuxuan cited the topic for a long time, and seemed to have finally asked the question he really wanted to ask. Mountain of knives and blood pool, stone mill and oil pan... It makes people's scalp tingle when they hear it, and it's scary just to describe it.

Sun Tzuchu understood that he might have thought too much before, and this was Emperor Wuxuan's real purpose. The other party never thought of marrying Mingxia to him, and he never mentioned a hint from the beginning to the end.

It was all the fault of what he said before going out. Sun Tzuchu was extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, he didn't have time to say something nonsense to refuse, otherwise he would have an oolong, and it would be bad luck.

Besides, this kind of thing is impossible just thinking about it. A princess or a princess is extremely outstanding in appearance and character. I don’t know what kind of man I want.This kind of unrealistic obscenity can only appear in the bloody third-rate story books!

Sun Tzuchu complained silently in his heart.

The voices of the conversation between the two were not deliberately lowered, so the people inside the screen not far away could actually hear them, but Sun Tzuchu couldn't see what was inside the screen because of his position and distance.

"Sun Jinshi may not have heard of it when he first arrived in the imperial city. A few years ago, there was a monster named Heart Eater here. It not only murdered countless lives, but also gouged out the victims' hearts and skinned them. In other words, I'm afraid it will have to go through all those punishments several times after it dies, and it will be difficult to wash away the sins on its body."

Grandson Chu was slightly stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "Such evil deeds are simply unspeakable. Unless it has reached a great level of cultivation and jumped out of the five elements, it is absolutely impossible to escape the punishment of the underworld, but the way of heaven will not Allow such a vicious demon to achieve great things."

"What Sun Jinshi said is very true." Emperor Wu Xuan seemed to be pleased by Sun Tzuchu's words, and laughed loudly.

Hearing this, the back of the queen mother behind the screen was as black as iron, and her expression became more and more fierce. She was almost so angry that she burst the outer skin, and rushed forward to tear the mouths of the two people.

The Empress Dowager tried her best to suppress her anger, thinking about all kinds of changes beyond her control at this banquet, and began to think about whether her identity had been exposed?The emperor is using other people's mouth to ring the alarm bell or issue a letter of challenge.

This is impossible!The queen mother immediately denied the possibility of her identity being exposed.

The strategy it has carefully planned for many years is not so easy to see through. The entire Queen Mother's bedroom is as solid as an iron barrel, and there is no way for anyone to leak the secret. Besides, among those who know, Hu Guifei does not have that IQ. Up to now, it is not even clear whether it is a demon or not. Didn't find out, and if Luo Yuan dared to speak out, he would be eaten away by the Gu worms in his body in the next second, so it wouldn't be him. If they want to inform them, what awaits them is a dead word, and they don't even have time to say a word before they die.

The queen mother thought about it, could it be the congratulatory gifts sent by Bai's Medical Center before its opening?It put a Gu worm and a bunch of worm feeding in the gift.

It was temporarily added to Bai Jingyang's place, after finding out how much Xuanqing valued him, in order to avenge Xuanqing, it temporarily added it, preparing to deal him a fatal blow at a critical moment.

However, it shouldn't be Bai Jingyang's fault. According to the feedback from the Gu worm, it has already successfully parasitized that day, and it has never stimulated the Gu worm for its revenge plan, so Bai Jingyang should now It is right to be ignorant.

As for the rest of the insect feed, they will automatically drill into the mouth and nose of the Gu victim in his sleep, and turn them into nourishment for the Gu insect to maintain their vitality. Once the insect feed is eaten, the hungry Gu insect will start attacking the Gu victim start with the internal organs.

That's why those ministers who have been infected by the voodoo bow their heads to it and are willing to obey it obediently, because they need to take a kind of pill in its hand regularly to stop the pain in the body that can't be described in words Pain.

That kind of pill is actually mixed with a certain amount of worm feed. After taking it, the Gu worms in the body will naturally stop eating their internal organs until the worm feed is absorbed. , will start to be a demon again, and the cycle will start again.

In summary, after thinking about it, the Empress Dowager felt that Emperor Wu Xuan and others were probably just suspicious, that there was a monster in the palace, but she couldn't be sure who it was.

Therefore, it is better to abandon the car to protect the handsome, let them think that Concubine Hu Gui is a mind eater, and dispel their suspicions. The plan that has influenced it for many years must not be discovered in advance and thus be destroyed.

After making up her mind, the Empress Dowager's face returned to normal, covering up the hatred in her eyes, trying her best not to be noticed by others.

Fortunately, the concubine Hu Gui next to it was a fool, she was so focused on hating the empress that she didn't dare to look up at it, and Princess Mingxia was even more ignorant, eating the fruit on the table by herself, looking at the audience From time to time, I sneaked a few glances at the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, my eyes were almost overwhelmed, how could I have time to pay attention to the expression on the Empress Dowager's face beside her?

The Empress Dowager deliberately stretched her arms to grab the plate of fruit that was farthest away. When her hand passed the wine glass in front of Concubine Hu Guifei, she quietly sprinkled a few tiny particles like soot from her fingertips with lightning speed. As soon as the fine particles stick to water, they will disappear quickly, and they cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Concubine Hu Gui was unprepared, and took a few sips of the wine in front of the Queen Mother, and soon she was in a bad mood and drank the whole glass of wine.

Seeing this, the queen mother curled her lips and showed a kind smile.

But this was still not enough. In order to better blame Concubine Hu Gui, the queen mother reached out and recruited one of its big maids, and whispered some things to her. Go in the direction of the room.

This grand maid had served here long before the real queen mother was still alive. She was very clever in handling things and was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so the fake queen mother didn't give her the kind of food that would eat her brains and become The dumb and silly Gu worm, but fancy her value, bet the same kind as Bai Zhende and other court ministers.

That's why she still retains her sanity now, and she doesn't look like a puppet like many other maids and eunuchs in the Empress Dowager's Palace.The queen mother often takes her out to serve and order her to do things.

Just as the maid of honor left, Sun Tzu Chu, who was still waiting for Emperor Wuxuan's question on the high platform, suddenly covered his stomach, knelt down on one knee with a pale complexion, large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, clenched his teeth, and let out a "hiss" in pain groans.

"Sun Jinshi, what's the matter with you?" Emperor Wu Xuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Quick! Send the imperial doctor! Where are the imperial guards?"

Mu Qing also stood up vigilantly.

Could it be that someone poisoned it? !Emperor Wu Xuan's first reaction.

"No, it's not..." Sun Tzu raised his hand in embarrassment to stop him, "Xiaosheng, it's just a stomachache and I want to go to the toilet..."

Emperor Wu Xuan: "..."

Mu Qing: "..."

The Qionglin Banquet is a feast, and besides fine wine, food is also indispensable. Just now, Sun Zichu didn’t want to show off, so he ate something to pass the time while the others were reciting poems and making speeches. Well, the dishes prepared for the Qionglin Banquet are both elegant and delicious enough to make people swallow their tongues. Once Sun Zichu moved his chopsticks, he couldn't stop.

He kept stuffing food into his mouth, but he didn't have the abyssal giant stomach like the Bai family father and son. He accidentally ate too much, and what he ate was mixed. He probably ate some contradictory food. After finishing the chicken cartilage, he felt a little uncomfortable after walking on the high platform, and the churning in his abdomen became more and more intense. Sun Tzu endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Emperor Wu Xuan's expression was a little stiff: "Eunuch Li, send someone to take Sun Jinshi to the latrine."

"... 嗻."

Sun Zichu must not be familiar with the road in the palace. Eunuch Li found a short eunuch to guide him. The rest of the people on the high platform were speechless for a while, pretending that nothing happened. Regarding the work of serving, Emperor Wu Xuan and Mu Qing also looked at the poems presented just now, and commented a few words appropriately.

The blushing grandson Chu clutched his stomach, and hurriedly followed the short eunuch out of the Qionglin Palace. When he got off the high platform and passed by the two tables of Bai Jingyang, he felt ashamed. I'm too embarrassed to look up at someone I know.

Brother Bai couldn't help laughing: "Xiaobao, why does your friend have such a funny expression? Hahaha, isn't it just diarrhea!"

Bai Jingyang bumped him with his elbow: "Brother, you should smile softly and save him some face, he is a scholar after all."

Sun Zichu, who hadn't walked too far, seemed to hear Big Brother Bai's laughter, and immediately buried his lowered head even lower. At the same time, he quickened his pace, and walked in front of the little eunuch with a "whew..." However, the little eunuch is short and has short legs. He was afraid that he would run around and go the wrong way, so he followed him desperately to catch up. go down.

"..." The poor little eunuch was about to cry.

"Yes, yes, brother, I know." Brother Bai suppressed a smile, and the wine in his mouth was about to spit out.

"Speaking of which, the elder brother is also a scholar, why is the thickness of his skin completely different from others? One can be as thick as dozens of others." The second brother Bai at the next table leaned over to hurt their eldest.

Since one or two people could sit at one table, the Bai family members sat in two without being overcrowded at all. Big Brother Bai quickly snatched the seat next to Bai Jingyang, so Second Brother Bai had no choice but to follow The old man sat together, while Xuan Qing dressed as a guard stood behind Bai Jingyang.

"Second brother, you owe a beating again, don't you?" Brother Bai stretched out his arms and wanted to go around Bai Jingyang in the middle and scratch his second brother.

The second brother Bai showed a sinister smile, and deliberately provocatively said: "Come on, weak chicken, I will never lose in a fight."

"Who are you sick cat saying is weak?!"

"What about you, weak chicken!"

"Bastard, I owe you a beating again! Today I want to let you know who is the big brother!"

"Come on, just in time to beat you, I am the eldest brother, Xiaobao's only brother."

"........."

"Shut up, you two, please be quiet, you are going to go home and make trouble!" Finally, Bai Zhenshan couldn't bear it any longer, and rewarded each of the two young men with an iron fist, and then managed to suppress it.

Big brother Bai and Second Brother Bai are two years apart in age, and they are about the same size, so they grew up fighting all the way since they were young. From robbing their mother for food to robbing their younger brother, they have long been used to gnawing their paws on their necks when they disagreed. Not feeling well without a fight.

Although the Bai family is used to this way of getting along with each other, and the Northwest warriors are brave, they will only feel admiration, but it is different when they arrive in the imperial city, especially in front of a group of frail scholars.

They have seen Mr. Shushu's ruler, but they have never seen Bai Zhenshan's iron fist, and they have never imagined that the daily life of the general's family is so cruel. Some young people who were eager to try and ask Shanzang layman for advice were suddenly taken aback. He silently rested his mind, stepped back, and turned to find other people.

Just like that, a vacuum zone was formed around the inexplicable Bai Zhenshan family, but they just didn't care, the purpose of coming today was not for those frail scholars.

While eating and bickering, the dishes on both tables soon came to an end. Since it was a Qionglin banquet prepared for scholars, it was naturally done in an elegant manner, and the portions of the dishes were not too much. This is really not big enough. sewn.

So, Bai Zhenshan summoned a little eunuch.

"Go and tell the Imperial Dining Room that the portions of the dishes are too small, and ask them to double them and bring them to two tables. These few dishes taste good, and you can serve more, but those few are green and unpalatable, so you don't need to serve them any more. " Bai Zhenshan pointed to some unfinished vegetarian dishes on the table and said.

For big cats, as long as they eat meat, vegetables and so on have no nutritional value at all.

"By the way, you can stop by and ask if the cook in the imperial dining room who is good at making roasted suckling pigs is still there. If he is, I can add two more little suckling pigs." Bai Zhenshan suddenly remembered his favorite dish he had eaten in the palace back then. Dish, he added, licking his lips.

"Roast, roast suckling pig...?" The little eunuch was a little dizzy, roast suckling pig doesn't go well with Qionglin Banquet at all!

"Go quickly, what are you still doing in a daze, and follow General Bai's orders." Eunuch Li, who came down from the high platform, quickly beat the little eunuch.

Since the distance was not far away, and Bai Zhenshan's voice was loud, Eunuch Li also heard it, seeing the dazed look of the new eunuch, he immediately came down to save the scene.

Today's young eunuchs are not as good as one generation after another, they don't even wince at all, not to mention the level of their official position, but based on his observations when he was serving Emperor Wu Xuan, His Majesty attaches great importance to Bai Zhenshan's family now, not to mention those who have not yet entered the court. Even if all the civil servants and ministers below are added up, they can't match a general Bai.

So, don't say that Bai Zhenshan wants to eat roast suckling pig that is not elegant at all at the Qionglin Banquet, even if he wants to have a hot hot pot, no one dares to object.

"Yes, yes, my slave will do it now." The little eunuch repeatedly accused him.

Eunuch Li: "Wait, do you remember the names of the dishes that General Bai just said?"

The little eunuch: "Remember everything, I dare not be negligent."

Eunuch Li: "That's good, let's go."

The little eunuch hurriedly resigned and rushed to the imperial dining room.

"Eunuch Li is reliable in his work, he is worthy of being the No.1 around His Majesty." Bai Zhenshan cast an appreciative look.

Eunuch Li suddenly smiled so that his old face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, and said modestly: "This is all a matter of miscellaneous family, how can it be called such a generous praise by General Bai?"

Bai Zhenshan watched him go on the road, and after the two complimented each other a few more words, Eunuch Li turned back to serve Emperor Wuxuan and Mu Qing.

"Father, how is he?"

After Eunuch Li left, the father and brother of the Bai family, together with Xuan Qing, started talking with normal expressions on their faces. Xuan Qing casually set up a sound-proof barrier to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Bai Zhenshan frowned slightly: "I don't feel any evil spirit in him."

Xuan Qing interjected: "Actually, there is a very faint evil spirit, but it should have been contaminated on Mu Qing's body. According to my judgment, the old eunuch just now is not wrong."

Bai Zhenshan: "..." You are the only one who is powerful, you are better than Lao Tzu!

"Where's the monster that gave Xiaobao a Gu worm? Is it the Queen Mother? Or Concubine Hu Gui?"

Brother Bai glanced at the high platform without any trace. His demon age is still very young. Thanks to his blood talent, he can transform into form. He may be considered powerful among humans, but he is not enough to look at in front of some thousand-year-old demons. If he deliberately hides the demonic aura, he will not be able to see it with his strength.

Bai Zhenshan was silent for a moment: "I can't see that, except for Queen Mu Qing who is a vixen, no one else can sense the evil spirit. What about you kid? Have you noticed anything?"

Bai Zhenshan glanced at Xuan Qing, and kicked him the question again.

Xuanqing's expression was as usual: "With my uncle's profound magic power, I can't tell the clues. Xuanqing's aptitude is mediocre, so naturally I can't tell anything, but there is no lack of possibility that the other party has treasures that can conceal the evil spirit."

Bai Zhenshan was flattered by Xuan Qing indiscriminately, and his attitude softened instantly, "Your boy makes sense."

But what Xuan Qing didn't say was that if he couldn't see it with his basaltic strength, the power of a treasure that could be perfectly concealed would naturally not be small. It might be an ancient artifact, and those who could use an ancient artifact must be powerful The big monster recklessly tore his face and started a fight, which might set off a bloody storm in the imperial city, involving many innocent people.

-

After going to the latrine, Sun Zichu felt very comfortable, as expected of a latrine in the palace.

But when he walked out of the hut, he didn't see the short eunuch who brought him here. Sun Zichu looked around for a while, but he couldn't find anyone, thinking that the other party might have returned to Qionglin Palace?

After thinking about it, Sun Zichu decided to follow his memory and try to walk back the same way.

Sun Zichu, who turned to leave, didn't see that in the bamboo forest not far from the latrine, the short eunuch just now was squatting on the ground and counting ants bored.

Because he thought the front of the hut was too smelly, the little eunuch found such a place not far away to wait, but the clinker might be because he was really too short, or it happened to be a blind spot, Sun Zichu looked around a few times. He was not found, and his attention was all on a nest of ants carrying food.

It can only be said that it was a mistake.

However, the terrain in the palace is too complicated, and Sun Zichu, who entered the palace for the first time, got lost as expected.

After struggling for a while, Sun Zichu decided to ask a palace official for directions. He looked ahead, and it seemed to be a big kitchen with many busy palace ladies and eunuchs. He thought he could find someone to help there.

At the same time, the empress dowager's eldest maid was also waiting for a cup of bird's nest porridge in the imperial dining room.

A little court lady next to her asked her curiously: "Sister, why don't you serve the Queen Mother and come to our imperial dining room?"

Grand Palace Maid: "This is the bird's nest porridge that the Empress Dowager drinks every day. I have to watch the heat myself, so there can be no mistakes."

The little palace maid showed admiration: "Sister, you are so meticulous in your work, no wonder you can always be favored in front of the empress dowager."

The Grand Palace Maid smiled: "This is just our duty as slaves."

The little palace lady: "But I still think that you are very powerful, sister. I do things carelessly. I dare not wait in front of the masters all day, so I can only hang out in the imperial dining room. But here is also very good, with a lot of delicious food."

As she spoke, she picked up several jugs of wine from the ground and put them on the tray, before getting up and leaving the imperial dining room.

"Wait," the palace maid suddenly called to her, "Are these jugs of wine all sent to Qionglin Hall in front?"

The little palace maid nodded: "Yes, send it to the new scholars and ministers to drink, the wine over there should be running out soon."
