Chapter 185: Birthday Banquet (2)
"You girl, why are you in a hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mama Lian looked at Liuli and said helplessly.
Su Zixu smiled and responded, "Don't worry, there is still an hour before the banquet." Hongu is almost ready, too. ”
After saying that, he fiddled with his hair.
……
The birthday of the eldest prince was held in Keeiden. Qingrong Hall is a place specially used to hold large-scale palace banquets. When there was still half an hour before the birthday banquet of the eldest prince, the civil and military officials and the concubines of the harem began to enter the main hall and sat down neatly according to their respective positions.
As soon as Su Zixu took Mama Lian and Liuli to her seat and sat down, she heard a sweet and soft voice greet her, "Sister." ”
"Ran Guiyi." Su Zixu nodded with a smile, only then did he notice that Ran Guiyi was sitting on his left.
"My sister came early." Ran Guiyi looked at each other and smiled.
Before Su Zixu could answer, the aggrieved voice of the third prince sounded on the right: "Yue Niangniang." ”
Su Zixu turned his head to see that the third prince was pursing his lips, revealing a pitiful look, as if he was dissatisfied that she didn't notice him.
Just as he was about to speak, the eunuch's announcement sounded in the hall: "The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived." ”
Everyone's eyes were attracted, and they saw Emperor Yan in a yellow robe walking into the hall majestically, followed by Queen Liu, who was dressed in a big red robe, holding the eldest prince in her hand.
The eldest prince is wearing a pale red dress today, and he looks very cute in the past.
Everyone knelt down in unison, and a huge salute resounded through the hall: "Weichen/concubine see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the queen's mother, long live the queen." The voice lingered around the hall for a long time.
Emperor Yan walked to the seat in the center of the main hall, sat down, glanced around the hall, and said lightly: "Flat." ”
"Your Majesty." All the people stood up and sat down in their seats again.
After a while, when everyone had arrived, Emperor Yan looked at the people below and said coldly: "Today is the fifth birthday of the eldest prince, and I want to congratulate him on holding this palace banquet." You don't have to be so restrained, we won't get drunk tonight. In addition to this, I have a big happy event to announce. ”
As soon as Emperor Yan finished speaking, Furen walked out, holding two holy decrees in his hands, and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Yue's appearance, virtuous and virtuous, dignified and wise, respectful and prudent, deeply comforted, from now on, it is specially given to raise the three princes, and I will here." ”
Su Zixu took the hand of the third prince and slowly walked out of the seat, then knelt down, kowtowed generously and thanked: "The concubine accepted the order, thank the lord Longen." ”
The third prince also knelt down with a milky voice, and said glutinously: "The son of the minister accepts the order." ”
Furen walked down and took the two identical holy decrees to Su Zixu and the third prince respectively.
The eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on them, constantly looking. There was curiosity, surprise, and disdain in those eyes. There are also those who whisper with their heads bowed.
As if he hadn't heard anything, Su Zixu calmly stood up from the ground, with a faint smile on his face, grabbed the hand of the third prince, and walked back to his position. The others still didn't look away.
Emperor Yan looked at Su Zixu and the third prince, smiled lightly, and then instructed Furen: "Since everyone has arrived, let's start." ”
Furen's sharp voice sounded in the main hall and said, "The palace banquet has officially begun. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen graceful figures walked in from outside the hall, and the music sounded at the same time, and they danced slowly.
Only then did everyone's eyes move away from Su Zixu and the three princes, and they couldn't take their eyes off the beautiful dancing in the hall.
Su Zixu was very interested, bored eating the snacks on the table and eating melon seeds. Because of his proximity to the three princes, he gave him some fruits from time to time, and the three princes happily ate them.
"Doesn't my sister like this song and dance?" Ran Guiyi suddenly asked.
Su Zixu looked at her, smiled indifferently, and said frankly: "There is no difference between this song and dance and the previous ones, I am tired of watching it." ”
Ran Guiyi was stunned for a while, and then said with a smile: "What my sister said is true, but the songs and dances in this palace are like this, there is no novelty, and it will be boring if you watch too much." ”
"I heard that Ran Guiyi is a person from Jiangnan, Jiangnan is a place where you can sing and dance, the singing and dancing there should be very good, right?"
"My sister laughed, but there are really many songs and dances in Jiangnan, and the concubines haven't entered the palace yet......"
In this way, Su Zixu and Ran Guiyi began to chat without saying a word.
……
After the palace banquet, Su Zixu returned to the palace, and when he was halfway there, Liuli said: "Master, you and Ran Guiyi can talk today, the slave has never seen you talk so much to other concubines." ”
"Can you talk?" Su Zixu raised her eyebrows, and then smiled: "She is indeed different from others, so Bengong talked to her a little more." ”
Judging from the conversation just now, Ran Guiyi is indeed a special person, gentle, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable, and most importantly, like herself, she doesn't like to get involved in the affairs of the harem, and her body invisibly exudes an otherworldly atmosphere. Moreover, she could see from her eyes that the woman, who was disgusted with the palace, also longed for life outside.
They have a lot of similarities, and perhaps because of this, they talked a little more.
"It's good that the master can have someone who can speak in the palace." Mama Lian smiled.
Su Zixu shook his head and said, "Go back." ”
……
"Are the things of the third prince almost finished?" Looking at the palace people who were moving things outside the house, Su Zixu asked.
Since early this morning, those palace people have begun to move the things of the three princes, and they are still moving.
"Master, I guess I can move it tonight." Mama Lian replied.
"Yue Niangniang, Yue Niangniang." While speaking, the third prince ran in in a hurry.
Su Zixu hurriedly squatted down, caught him, waited until his body stabilized, scratched his nose, and said, "Why did you run so fast?" What if I fall? ”
Mama Bai also walked in, stood aside and gently blessed Su Zixu.
The third prince "poofed", kissed Su Zixu, and said in a milky voice: "Yao'er has been living with Yue Niangniang since today?" ”
"Well, you're going to have to be nice, you know?" Su Zixu nodded.
"Okay, Yao'er is the most well-behaved." The smile on the face of the third prince was like a thousand years of transparent amber, shining brightly.
"Yao'er, why is it still called Yue Niangniang? It's time for a change of course. Mama Bai reminded on the side.
After hearing this, the third prince walked out of Su Zixu's arms, took a few steps back, knelt down in a decent manner, kowtowed three times, and saluted sweetly: "Yao'er sees the mother concubine, the mother concubine is auspicious." ”
Su Zixu hurriedly helped him up and said, "You kid, why did you salute?" Hurry up. ”
"Mama said that etiquette cannot be lost." The third prince smiled with a smile.
Su Zixu shook his head helplessly, straightened his clothes, and said softly: "Okay, it's not too early, you must be tired today, the concubine of the side hall has asked someone to help you clean up, you hurry down and rest, and talk about other things tomorrow." ”
Then, he turned his head to look at Mama Bai and said, "Mama, in the future, I still bother you to follow Yao'er and wait closely, Mama's bedroom has been arranged, and it is on the left side of Yao'er's room." The other servants who are waiting for the palace have also been arranged, and Mama can assign them by herself. There are other places that need to be done, just tell Lian Mama and Liuli. ”
"The slave obeys." Mama Bai responded.
"Mother, Yao'er has gone to rest." The third prince was sleepy, stepped forward and kissed Su Zixu, and said sleepily.
"Well, get some rest." Su Zixu touched his head and said.
Looking at the back of the third prince walking out, Su Zixu smiled and instructed the palace people in the house: "You are also tired today, go down and rest." ”
"Yes."
