Chapter 434: Palace Banquet

Feng Jingting smiled proudly, "I've thought about it, so I'll write Feng Yuanxi and use my words." As for the identity, the great-grandson of the former governor of Yunnan. ”

Guo Wenying was dumbfounded, I heard that Taizu was the governor of Yunnan before he won the world, this great-grandson is really right, but why does she think it is so weird?

Feng Jingting seemed to praise his idea, and he was a little excited for a while, and shouted to Xu Mao to ask him to transfer to the Iceman Pavilion, as if he was going to do it now.

Later, Xu Mao said that all the yamen errand places were on holiday at this time, so he gave up. However, this did not extinguish his enthusiasm, and he actually said that they would go as soon as they waited for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Guo Wenying also began to think about the possibility of this matter, getting married, like a folk couple, is exactly what she dreamed of, but even if his identity becomes a relative, he has to hide it, and he can't see anyone, otherwise the imperial historians will participate in the performance, and there may be some chaos.

I want to refuse, but from the bottom of my heart, she really wants a name, maybe this is the only way to solve the current embarrassing identity, as for the rest, she can only take one step at a time.

She pondered in her head, and suddenly asked, "Then can I invite some brothers and friends to come and drink the wedding wine?"

Feng Jingting smiled, "Naturally, but I won't accompany the wine." ”

Guo Wenying naturally wouldn't ask him to accompany him to drink, even if he was willing, those people wouldn't dare to drink? She had already begun to think about how much wine she would invite to get married, what things to prepare, and what her uncle and aunt would know when they were looking. After knowing it, she must have been very surprised, just like her reaction to Feng Jingting's words.

They lay in the car for a while, and when it was getting dark, they got dressed. In fact, Guo Wenying is really a little afraid, if he encounters a street patrol, this will be a real loss for adults.

Feng Jingting is naturally not afraid, there are countless guards around his carriage, who can get close to within five steps? But at this time, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is easy to get cold when he stays outside.

Back at the new house on Zhuzi Street, the two got out of the car hand in hand, the nurse Xu was already waiting, and when she saw the two coming back at the same time, she was stunned at first, and then completely ignored Feng Jingting as air.

She chased after Guo Wenying and asked, "Can you see your uncle and aunt?"

Guo Wenying nodded, "On the thirtieth day, my uncle asked me to go to my house for the New Year. ”

"That's as it should be. Xu said and walked inside, and went up to prepare tea and wash for them.

Guo Wenying and Feng Jingting returned to the room, and after talking about their son, they both fell asleep in loose clothes. The toss was ruthless during the day, but the night was peaceful.

On the second day, Feng Jingting really accompanied her in the mansion for a day, and the two didn't do anything, just sat together and talked, talking about the days that happened these days, and felt that the day passed quickly. When it was almost evening, Feng Jingting left, saying that he would come to accompany her after the fifth day of the new year.

Guo Wenying said with a smile: "On the thirtieth day, the palace will give a banquet, and the foreign women will enter the palace to pay respects." ”

She was going to say, "Maybe you'll see me." "Later, when I thought about it, I didn't have a grade, and if I didn't meet the special call, I wouldn't be able to enter the palace.

Feng Jingting knew what she meant, and only said: "There are a bunch of messy things in the palace every day, if you have nothing to do, go to the palace less." ”

Guo Wenying nodded, knowing that he was doing it for his own good. Although she is out of danger for the time being, the two ladies in the palace are afraid that they have already regarded her as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. To be on the safe side, it's better to stay at home honestly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day, on this day, the queen mother and the concubines got up earlier than usual, and the concubines also came to the palace at dawn, and the princesses were dressed up before dawn.

The foreign women and the nobles of each province entered the palace at the time of Shen to pay New Year's greetings to the queen mother and the concubines.

The color of everyone's clothes is different from usual, the concubines, the eldest princess, etc. are wearing official uniforms, wearing pearls and emeralds, wearing shirts, red and green gowns, jewel buttons, and pendants. The princesses and county lords are still dressed in big red clothes, but everyone wears red velvet flowers made of the word Fushou on their heads.

The queen mother led the concubines to come out last, and after ascending to the throne, the concubines led the concubines to make the flowers in front of the Buddha, and Princess Changping led the princess to arrange the offerings in front of the Buddha, and they were not busy until lunch.

The queen personally wrote twenty three-foot square words of blessing and longevity. She looked very good, and let everyone write along. Some princesses wrote with a big pen, and all the ladies and nobles also wrote together, and the laughter continued for a while.

In the afternoon, Feng Jingting led the clans, princes and first- and second-class officials to Ningshou Palace to give the queen mother and concubines a farewell ceremony. This kind of etiquette is an old custom, but because the queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, it is just a formality. Although Empress Dowager Jiang was smiling, the corners of her eyebrows were raised, obviously moved. is so perfunctory to her as an old lady, obviously she doesn't take her seriously.

After the emperor retreated, the concubine also led everyone to salute, and the female celebrant sang and directed. Finally, there are palace maids, eunuchs, etc. The Queen Mother ordered a reward, and each person was rewarded with ten taels of silver.

After the ceremony, the Queen Mother and the concubines returned to the dormitory to rest.

At this time, Concubine Xian led the eldest princess, princess, and wife to salute the concubine.

Although Concubine Xian only performed half a ceremony, she was very reluctant, Yan Yulan was actually just a harem concubine, why should she be saluted? But who let the emperor order the concubine to preside over the annual ceremony, even if this ceremony is only half, it must be done.

Yan Yulan was rare and generous today, and she didn't care whether they were polite or not, she only smiled slightly and asked them to retreat.

Then the princess, the wife, etc., saluted the concubine again. Secondly, the princess and the wife were divided into the eldest and younger, and saluted each other and said goodbye. The ladies also asked their elders to say goodbye. All the younger generations who bid farewell to their elders, such as noblewomen, palace maids, eunuchs, etc., can all get one hundred and eighty taels.

Guo Wenying got eighty taels of silver for nothing, and she was very happy, but after staying in the palace for these days, she was really depressed and uncomfortable. But now that her uncle, aunt, uncle, and aunt are all in the palace, it is impossible for her to go out alone, so she can only follow and finish all these rituals.

When these tedious rituals were over, the sky was dark.

In the evening, Feng Jingting had a banquet in Yonghe Palace, and the emperor's relatives and relatives, as well as the first and second grades, all participated.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has already begun.

The dishes on the banquet table are divided into eight ways from outside to inside, there are all kinds of meat, vegetarian sweet and salty snacks, there are cold meals, there are hot meals, a total of 63 products, there are two pairs of carved lacquer fruit boxes, four Su cakes, abalone snails and other fruits, noodles. In addition to the main dishes, there are eight kinds of fruit clocks, and, small snacks, stove food, duck stuffed buns, rice noodles and snacks and other snacks are arranged in east and west, and there are four small dishes in the north and south.

According to the rules in the palace, each concubine has its own dietary standards, and they usually meet separately. But for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the concubines also had the honor to come to accompany the emperor to dinner.
