The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is a day when the concubine rarely appears in front of people, and she has to dress up carefully. Miao An came in with a dress, "Miao Ping stared at it for more than two months before the dress was made, but he was busy today and couldn't touch the ground, and he couldn't even deliver it in person." "

The dress that can only be stretched apart by two people's hands, with a moon-white background and silver thread embroidered patterns, swings at will, and has a bright and dark effect, like moonlight.

"It turns out that I was still muttering, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to wear such a plain dress at the banquet, but now look at it, when has Miaoping done something unreliable. Miao An said, "Niang Niang is wearing such a dress today, and His Majesty can't see anyone else in his eyes." ”

"Niangniang just wears it casually, and His Majesty can't see anything else. Another palace maid said with a smile.

Hugh said this. Qin Yunyi said, "Miao'an, you will go to see Miaoping later, remember to tell her, you don't have to do everything by yourself, you have to take care of your body and pay attention to rest." ”

"Don't look at Miaoping as a female official in charge now, she is very majestic, in fact, it is better to be a housekeeper aunt by the side of her mother. Myohei said.

Qin Yunyi's heart moved, knowing that Miao Ping and Miao An had nothing to say, Miao An would never say this suddenly, she looked at Miao An, "But what grievances did Miao Ping suffer?"

"With His Majesty and Niangniang here, how could she be wronged. Miao An said, "It's just to serve others, where is it good to serve Niangniang." "

"I still thought that people should go to high places, and it is better to be a female officer than a personal maid. Qin Yunyi smiled and said that there was a last resort reason for Miaoping to walk from her side, but now that she thinks about it, I don't know if she is really willing.

"If Myohei wants to come back, let her come back. Qin Yunyi said.

Put on a dress, put on the earrings of the jade rabbit pounding medicine, the osmanthus grains are small, gathered into tassels, and hung on both sides of the hair crown, "Xiao Ba Na asked the nurse to add a small coat to it, the night is windy, he participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet for the first time in his life, as long as he doesn't sleep, let him stay until the end." "

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, regardless of the size of the prince and the princess, must be attended, can sit at a table by themselves, can not sit by themselves, by the nurse to sit at another table, now the need for the nurse to hold, but the four princesses, the seventh prince and the eighth prince.

But after the queen sat down in the lord's seat, she beckoned the nurse to bring the seventh prince over, and she held it, and this time it was eye-catching, and the clan relatives and ministers came to congratulate the wine and inevitably bent down and bowed to the little prince.

Qi Zongwen frowned, "Where is the nurse of the Seventh Prince?"

The queen hugged the villain in her arms, "The seven princes are very sticky to the ministers and concubines, at this time, there are many people, and the nurse can't hold it, if you cry, won't it sweep Your Majesty's happiness." ”

Qi Zongwen took a few breaths to calm down, but he didn't bother to look at her anymore, and when the ministers finished congratulating the wine, Qi Zongwen said to the second prince, "You go to drink a glass of wine with the clan relatives and ministers for your father." ”

The second prince should get up and go to drink with the ministers for his father, which is a great honor, and the younger brothers at the bottom all looked at him with envy, but the second prince's face was calm and he couldn't get carried away.

Rou Jia asked the palace maid to remind her not to let the second prince drink too much.

Lijia blushed, "Big sister Bai is worried, the inner attendant of this wine knows that it is powerful, and it is not intoxicating to drink half wine and half water." ”

Rou Jia still looked at her younger brother with some worry, since she knew that she was going to marry to the northern Xinjiang, her younger brother was unhappy, his face was gloomy all day long, and he used to talk to her mother and concubine about some things, but this time she didn't say a word.

Rou Jia was afraid that he would think to the left and hate his father.

"Big sister, don't tell the second brother now, you are willing to marry to Northern Xinjiang, the more voluntary you are, the more uncomfortable the second brother will be." Lijia said.

"You know everything. Roujia looked at her helplessly. The third princess sat on one side, and kept looking at the moon cake that was bigger than her face, Roujia asked the palace maid to cut it for her, she shook her head again and again, and said in a milky voice, "Big sister, I want to hold and eat, eat whole." ”

Roujia made a difficulty, and now in the public, if she let the third princess hold the moon cake and eat it, what would it look like? She could only say to the third princess, "This moon cake, the eldest sister and the second sister don't eat it, leave it for you to take back to the palace after the banquet, and then hold it and eat it?"

The third princess nodded.

The nurse behind her breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was afraid that the third princess would come up, so she cried and cried to eat. Then she had to be ripped off a layer of skin by Concubine Ying.

"It's really a small person with a big belly. Lijia said.

"It's good to be able to eat. Roujia said, pointing to a few plates of snacks on the table, "These are yours." "Lijia didn't eat much when she was a child, her body was thin, and she didn't necessarily eat well now, and the amount of food was like a bird, which made people worry.

"It's useless to eat. Lijia said, "Look at the second brother, he went to toast for his father, and the smile on his face was shallow, and then he looked at those old courtiers, and the folds on his face were smiling, ensuring that they were all praising the second brother for his calmness." ”

The second brother must be thinking that his father didn't want the queen to be in the limelight with the Seventh Prince, so he let him jump out. Lijia said, "But he didn't expect that he just talked about your marriage this morning, and his father asked him to toast to make a face for you." ”

"After all, you two brothers and sisters are both prosperous. ”

Roujia looked at her.

"Don't look at me like that, you are in the middle of the competition, you will always think about it and then complicate your father's thoughts. Rika shrugged her shoulders and said, "Father obviously has a fatherly heart for us. ”

The corners of Roujia's mouth twitched, "The father is good to us, and the eighth prince is better." ”

"Big sister, you announced your marriage today, and the eighth prince is still holding it in the nurse's arms. Roujia said, "In the years when we were not born, you were favored by your father alone, should we also be jealous of you, more favored than we are." ”

"My father has so many children, there must be a preference, before the eighth prince, but only the eldest sister is your father's favorite. "Our mothers are more or less favored. ”

Roujia didn't speak.

"What my father is most afraid of is that his younger brothers will fight for the throne. Lijia said nonchalantly, "But there's no way to avoid it, right?"

"It's impossible to sit still and not fight. "

He didn't want to fight. Rou Jia frowned and said conveniently for her younger brother, "He, I, and my mother have no intention of fighting."

。 ”

"Why is the second brother unhappy?"

"Big sister, why are you entangled in your father's love for the eighth brother. "

No one else heard the conversation of the little girl's house, and if they did, it would be surprising that sisters who were not born to the same mother would talk about such a sensitive topic.

Today, it happened that Concubine Xian and Concubine Meng were sitting together, all the concubines joked together, and drank three rounds of wine.

Concubine Xian even covered half of her face and said, "I should let you have another daughter, so that people can make fun of it in the future." ”

Miao An didn't go to the banquet this time, she is a confidant of the mother, this kind of face-showing thing can be appropriately let other people go, the main thing is that she is now mature, she has changed her lively temperament, and she is also comfortable taking care of the house for the mother.

Ronghua Palace is not far from the main hall, but across the layers of city walls, the excitement is also a little unreal, there was a sudden rush of running sound on the corridor outside the palace, Miao An listened to it wrong, so that people went to see.

The little palace maid grabbed the palace door and shouted inside, "Sister Miao'an, I'm here to find you." ”

"Who?" said Myaon, strangely.

"Sister Miaoan. "It was a little palace maid in green clothes, skinny, sallow, and her body couldn't stop shaking.

"Sister Miao'an, whose palace is this? I don't have any impression at all. The little palace maid of Ronghua Palace said.

"I know. "Since you have come to me," said Myaan, "you should first go back and eat the bread and the fruit, lest they finish the delicious food." "

The little palace maid really exclaimed and ran back.

Miao An looked up and down at this palace maid who came to report the news, "You are a palace maid in green clothes and black belt, you are still trained and not on duty, I don't know you, why did you come to me?"

"My name is Jin Nu, I turned out to be the palace maid of the weaving workshop, and I was asked by Sister Miaoping to serve me for only five days, and now I only do some chores in my sister's house. Jin Nu said quickly, "My sister has not come back to eat today, I am worried that she will forget to eat when she is busy, so I brought snacks to find her, but on the road I bumped into Miao Sizhen guarding the middle of the road, and there were a few inner guards next to her, I heard them say, 'That kid has already gone in, and after a stick of incense, let's go in, keep the rape in bed.'" ‘”

"Which halfway is she guarding on?" Miao'an's eyebrows jumped.

"It's the cottage where my sister rests on weekdays, and it's only a long corridor away from the house where she handles official business. "I don't know if it's my sister in that house, but on weekdays, no one goes to that hut to rest." “

"I also heard Si Zhen say, 'She was covered with incense, and she was delirious and unbearably angry at the moment, wouldn't it be a good thing for a young man to go in and relieve the fire. "

Miao An's face turned pale when she heard this, "You quickly go back and keep an eye on them, if they are about to go to the main hall, you must stop them, and I will go to find Niangniang." “

"But. Jin Nu was worried that something would happen to Miaoping, but now that Miaoan heard that she was going to find Niangniang, she became scared again, "I'm not sure if it's my sister there." “

"Lonely men and widows in the same room, it is not a good thing in this palace, whether it is Miaoping or not, we have to take care of this idle matter, today is not only the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also a good day for Your Majesty to announce the horses, you can't let these things go to Your Majesty. “
