Chapter Seventy-Five: Heavy Building
Murong Hui had a lively temperament, and she couldn't sit still for a while, so she had already pulled the little palace maid to deftly flip the colored rope between her fingers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Queen Chu listened to her little daughter's giggles, and watched her ten green fingers fluttering, dancing like butterflies among flowers, slowly infected her little daughter's smile, relaxed the string on her heart, and bent the corners of her lips, revealing a soft smile, like a circle of ripples slowly waving on her face.
The rosewood window sash of the six-sided plum blossom in Shoukang Palace is newly pasted with lake-green blue shadow yarn, and it is decorated with the big red window flowers cut by the palace people in the past few days.
The turquoise gauze fan and the big red window flowers reflect each other, the pattern of nine spring colors and the four seasons of peace reveals the joy of the group, and the Shoukang Palace, which is slightly deserted on weekdays, is full of festive atmosphere today.
Su Duhan chewed the melon, looked around, and didn't see Emperor Chongming and Murong Peng, so he smiled and asked Queen Chu: "Auntie, why don't you see Uncle and A Peng?"
Empress Chu smiled and told the princes of Jian'an and Kangnan that they were both in the palace for the New Year, and said with a little regret: "This year's reunion is not successful, your uncle and A Peng will attend the state banquet, and the family banquet will not be able to participate." ”
My father is gone, and it is a Chinese New Year's Eve that cannot be reunited.
Su Duhan's breath stagnated, the hand in his sleeve trembled slightly, and he used the fruit on the table to cover up the past well, and smiled considerately with Queen Chu: "Naturally, there is a country first, and then there is a home." Twilight Han looked, now that the situation of the Three Kingdoms is gradually becoming a reality, if Jian'an and Kangnan are friendly with their own country, it will be a blessing for the people of the world. ”
The words were dignified and insightful, Queen Chu nodded with a smile, she didn't want to talk about this topic, but instead took her sister's hand, caring about her well-being.
Su Duhan took a Jiangnan tribute chrysanthemum casually, peeled off the skin and silently pouted a petal in his mouth, but he didn't taste it, and he still recalled in his heart what Empress Chu said, Murong Peng's kid was accompanying Emperor Chongming.
Huangkou Xiaoer, who is less than seven years old, has now crossed him, representing the identity of a country, and is on an equal footing with the princes of Jian'an and Kangnan, Su Duhan is really unwilling in his heart.
The sky was slightly overcast, and the sunlight finally revealed a faint light from the thick clouds, adding a heavy touch to Su Duhan's already deep haze in his heart.
Unable to laugh at the laughter of everyone in the hall anymore, Su Duhan avoided by changing his clothes, walked to the backyard of Shoukang Palace alone, stood in front of the withered lotus pond for a long time, and then returned to the hall with a smile on his face, and a group of people were preparing to ride the pavilion.
The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Empress Chu attaches great importance to it, and has always been interested in the magnificence of the pavilion, and this year it is still ordered to be opened here.
As the name suggests, the layers of pavilions in the heavy pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings, silver candles shine high at night, it seems to be a fairyland on earth. This was originally the place of the banquet and drink in the former dynasty, built near the water, sitting in the north and facing south, and there are corridors on all sides to communicate, that is, it is open and bright and gorgeous, and it is the first choice of the royal banquet guests.
Xixia Palace is the former site of the Great Zhou Palace, in the past Chu Tianshu won the world, sighing that the little emperor was extravagant, but also happy about this old palace, except for simple repairs, basically kept the same.
Shoukang Palace, whose original name is Ziyun Palace, I don't know which concubine the little emperor built for that day, extravagant and gorgeous but located in a corner of the west corner of the palace, the location is very remote.
The trees are full of flowers, and the ground is full of white clouds.
Things are not people, and this place of Ziyun Hall has been idle for many years.
The first emperor passed away, and the queen mother did not want to see things and people in Rentai Palace, and liked the remote location of Ziyun Palace, so she moved here to live and changed the name of Shoukang Palace.
After the queen mother moved to Shoukang Palace, she put away all the treasures and antiques in the palace, and the palace was arranged very plainly, but only one of the heavy pavilions was left as it was. On weekdays, the door of the palace is also deeply locked, and only on big days such as mid-autumn and Chinese New Year's Eve, the royal reunion night banquet is held here, and there is a bit of former glory.
Now that the twilight has fallen, the vermilion palace lamp on the road is lit, echoing with the silver lamp on the cloister and the roof, and the scenery of fire trees and silver flowers has been added to the Shoukang Palace.
The palace door of the heavy pavilion is wide open, the left and right window sashes are made of rosewood, the flowers of the four seasons are carved on it, and the lights are lifelike under the light, extremely exquisite.
Murong Wei loves the white jade pool in the pavilion, which is connected to the living water outside, and there are lights on the four walls, shining on the water surface to the bottom. The interior of the pool is made of jade lotus, crystal clear, the water mist is thick when the earth dragon is ignited, and the fist-sized night pearl is illuminated by the four corners of the crystal gilt floor lamp base, the halo is soft and even, such as Penglai Wonderland.
Everyone surrounded the queen mother and entered the main hall of the heavy pavilion, and saw that the banquet had already been prepared, just waiting for the banquet to begin.
True purple color embroidered four orangutan felt paved floor, seats are all rosewood openwork case, one or two people a seat, a year of the flower pattern mattress and pillow placed neatly.
Mama Bai personally supported the Queen Mother to the high platform and sat down next to the desk in the middle. There is a seat on both sides of the queen mother's main seat, the right side was originally the seat of Emperor Chongming and Queen Chu, and now only Queen Chu sits, and on the left side is the seat of Chu Zhaohui and Su Rui, naturally there is only Chu Zhaohui.
Fortunately, Emperor Chongming is not there, so he doesn't have to look at the harmony between his sister and brother-in-law, and he is even more disfigured. Chu Zhaohui restrained the sourness in his heart, and lowered his head by tidying up his clothes.
Below is Murong Wei and Murong Hui, the two sisters sit next to each other, opposite Su Duhan's seat, followed by Xu Meng's two Zhaoyi with Murong Xuan's seat, opposite the two side concubines of Su Mansion.
The population of the Xixia royal family is simple, and there are only a few seats when they are full, and the queen mother looks down from above, looks at the empty seats beside her, and then looks at the eldest daughter, sighs inaudibly, and then orders the banquet to open.
Empress Chu was already good at adjusting the atmosphere, and it was a family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, picking out some happy and auspicious words to tell the queen mother, and only a few words made the old man smile.
Chu Zhaohui didn't want to sweep everyone's interest, but he also cheered up, imitated Caiyi to entertain his relatives, and his conversation was much funnier than usual. Several children were dressed in new clothes, and then the words of the elders were everywhere, and there was a moment of laughter and laughter at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.
After thirty years of wine, the palace people came in with a food box to add vegetables, cut the mutton into thin slices like cicada wings, marinated with fresh spices all night, sprinkled with finely crushed pepper, roasted until the color was golden, neatly stacked on the bamboo fence, and then decorated with red pepper and nuts cut into thin strips, the color was attractive, and the fragrance came from afar.
Meng Zhaoyi is from outside the Guan, and likes to eat mutton on weekdays, so she smelled the aroma of this secret mutton from afar, and she liked it very much.
The palace maids held the dishes, each added dishes to each table, and added them to the table of the two Zhaoyi mothers, Xu Zhaoyi knew that Meng Zhaoyi liked it, so she put the mutton in front of her first. (To be continued.) )
