Chapter 271: The Night Banquet

Duchess Chengguo's face was pale, and the smile on her face looked reluctant, Sun Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked over, "What the princess said is, where can my mother distinguish between pebbles and rain stones, I think I just follow others to follow the clouds." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Duchess Chengguo replied with a smile, "Yes, I also heard from others." He pulled Sun Xiaoxiao to the side.

Princess Jin took two steps forward just to block Zhen Wanyi's gaze, "Did Auntie come directly to Guangji Palace?

Zhen Wanyi focused on Princess Jin, "I haven't been to the queen mother yet, I think I will say hello to the queen mother and Princess Ning later." ”

Princess Jin smiled a little deeper, "The queen mother is very happy during this time, and I believe that she will be very happy to see Aunt Thirteen." ”

Hong Xiangyu on the side seemed to stand respectfully behind Zhen Wanyi, but she looked at the bowed whispers of the Duchess Chengguo and Sun Xiaoxiao, and a smile flashed at the corner of her mouth, it seems that there is a good show to watch tonight, I just hope that this good show will not affect her.

With the singing of the inner attendants, the emperor and queen came over with a group of concubines, followed by several ministers who gathered at the entrance of the hall to chat, and Princess Ning followed the queen and emperor. Today's seat is not much the same as that of the Birthday Festival, after the emperor and queen sat down on the left and right, the queen's right hand side sat on the palace concubines, and Concubine Yi, who had a one-sided relationship, was in the first place. The rest of the princes and ministers sat on the left hand side of the emperor, with King Jin at the top, King Ning second, Qi Rong in third, and then Prince Yu and several princes, Zhongshuling was the only court official without a title. Zhen Wanyi and Qi Rong sat side by side, and Sun Xiaoxiao and Hong Xiang sat side by side behind the two.

Emperor Zong's speech has always been concise and clear, summing up the past, looking forward to the coming year, and then it is a collective toast, Emperor Zong's respect to everyone, everyone shouts long live. When he sat down, the silk bamboo sounded, and two columns of lightly dressed palace performers moved the lotus steps lightly, came slowly, and danced with the song in the center of the main hall.

Zhen Wanyi turned her head to look around, there were not many people, most of them had familiar faces. After taking the wine Gu poured by the palace maid, he was about to drink it, but he was blocked by the big hand next to him, looking at the empty palm still in the posture of holding the cup, he turned his head to look at Qi Rong, and then looked at the cup in Qi Rong's hand and the wine Gu on the case in front of Qi Rong, "Did the prince take the wrong cup." ”

Qi Rong pursed his lips and smiled, "The lady has already finished drinking a cup just now." ”

Zhen Wanyi nodded, just now Emperor Zong raised a toast, she got up and drank it naturally, the glass of wine just now was only half a glass smaller. "This wine is not intoxicating. ”

Qi Rong drank the wine in his hand and put the empty cup in front of Zhen Wanyi, he didn't notice it at first, but this girl was so bold and dry, "It's good for the lady to watch the singing and dancing and eat the royal dishes tonight, as for this wine, don't drink it tonight." ”

Zhen Wanyi shook her fist, "Why? How can it be fast without food and wine, and Wang Ye is still having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today?"

"It's cold tonight, it's easy to catch a cold if you drink too much, if the princess wants to drink it, let's drink it later, Your Majesty has rewarded a lot of this wine this year, and this king has kept it for the lady." ”

Zhen Wanyi bit her lower lip, although she didn't understand why Qi Rong didn't let her drink, but it was really not good for the two of them to whisper like this in front of the public, "Then the prince must remember to keep it for me." ”

Qi Rong breathed a sigh of relief, took a piece of venison from the hot pot and put it in Zhen Wanyi's bowl, "Eat quickly, you're hungry." ”

Zhen Wanyi began to eat wholeheartedly, and she was really hungry, but she could only eat that pot of venison and deer tendon, and the other dishes were cold. His eyes swept over the white jade tofu, and then he put a piece in the hot pot and waited for it to be scalded before eating, although the taste changed a little, but everything he ate when he was hungry felt fragrant, not to mention that these dishes were produced by the imperial kitchen.

"Good thing there was a hot pot. ”

Qi Rong saw Zhen Wanyi's eating appearance, and just pursed his lips and smiled, and then put Zhen Wanyi's favorite dishes into the hot pot, so he ate the hot dishes alone and ate the dishes alone, and he was very busy.

After eating all the dishes on the table, Zhen Wanyi stopped, turned her head to look around, and thought to herself that it was fortunate that Qi Rong was not so eye-catching tonight, and no one should notice them. Just when I wanted to meet my gaze, I met Princess Ning's gaze, stretched out her head slightly, looked past Qi Rong and looked at Princess Ning, Zhen Wanyi half-raised her hand and shook it as a greeting, and said with a smile: "I forgot to say congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess." ”

Princess Ning's eyes were full of smiles, she didn't know much about this Princess Rong, she didn't have any good feelings, but she didn't hate it, she didn't give any face to people she didn't hate, not to mention that this was indeed a happy event, and today this princess also surprised her a little. Smiled and nodded, "Thank you." ”

King Ning glanced at the two of them, and stepped back slightly, so that the king of Jin at the top also saw this scene.

Zhen Wanyi felt that since Princess Ning was still looking at her, she should still want to talk to her, not to mention that she found her first to speak, so she asked again: "How many months has the baby in the princess's belly?"

The smile on Princess Ning's face became thicker, she liked to hear others use words like baby to describe the piece of meat in her belly, and now this is not a baby bump. "It's been more than three months. ”

Zhen Wanyi said with a smile: "It's good to dare to be affectionate, you can give birth in six months, the time is just right, the day is hot and the child is comfortable." ”

Maybe it's because the smile on Zhen Wanyi's face is extremely sincere, maybe it's because she's in a good mood, the smile on Princess Ning's face hasn't faded, "The queen mother said the same thing." ”

Zhen Wanyi saw Princess Ning's meal that was almost untouched, pointed to the dishes on Princess Ning's table and pointed to the hot pot, and demonstrated it once with the dishes on her own case, and then looked at Princess Ning with a smile.

Princess Ning pulled out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled, this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has been held for so many years, this method is naturally known to everyone, maybe the women who participated in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet are a group of women with the most noble status in Da Zhou, who is not holding the identity, a bite of food can't wait to eat ten mouthfuls to eat, clamp a dish is careful, no matter how much you like the dish dare not clip it three times, for fear that the plate in front of you is more empty and makes people laugh and vulgar, how can Princess Rong eat so unscrupulously, it seems that this identity is indeed a hard injury, the people of the small door and small household will stand up and down as soon as they compare, I am afraid that tomorrow there will be another joke in this capital。 "I've used dim sum in my mother's harem. ”

Zhen Wanyi listened and nodded, no wonder she waited until the end to come, it turned out that she had eaten in advance, looking at the food and tea that Princess Ning had barely touched, it was estimated that she was not just not hungry, so she stopped talking and turned her head to watch the song and dance seriously. I have to sit like this for more than two hours tonight, it's really the same as watching the Spring Festival Gala, but it's just too monotonous, either singing or dancing.
