Chapter 78 Birthday Celebration with Hundred Flowers (2)
Now Shen Xinyi saw that Zhao Wenhua looked like he wanted to say something, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and point to the sky, and hesitated: "Sister is so petty, could it be that where did the reason for this male and female table come from today?" ”
"Not really. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zhao Wenhua bowed slightly, looked around twice, and then whispered: "It's not a few days ago, and the saint didn't know where he heard the absurd letter, saying that the folk people all set up the same seat for birthdays, and men and women do not sit separately, in order to take the meaning of reunion." The saint is interested, and he doesn't care about any unruly rules, so he has to learn those tricks of a petty family. It's because of this that we have this out. ”
Shen Xinyi frowned and said, "Having said that, this is not good-looking. After all, where are the ancestral rules, what is the reason? ”
Zhao Wenhua helped his sideburns and said with a smile: "This is not just my sister who said this, and the queen mother didn't know how many times to persuade her." But this holy lord has come up, and who dares to persuade him vigorously. Don't the fox didn't fight, but he made a fuss. Moreover, those of the lower grade could not enter the seats of the inner sanctum, and they were all sent to the outer courtyard. The male guests who can enter here, if they talk about it, they are afraid that they will be close to us. It doesn't hurt to look at it this way. ”
Shen Xinyi quietly swept around the hall, and when he saw that they were all familiar faces, he sighed: "According to what you say, this is the reason." ”
Zhao Wenhua saw Shen Xinyi's half-sideways face, knowing that she was thin-skinned, she must have taken care of the matter of the male and female defense, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister don't worry, if it is a male guest who is not familiar with each other, the queen mother will not dare to let it in." Today, this male guest is just those princes and princes and the three princes, and then these juniors under us. Other than that, there are no outsiders. ”
Shen Xinyi saw that Zhao Wenhua had penetrated his thoughts, so he no longer covered it up, and said softly: "Thank you sister for mentioning it, but let my sister see the joke." ”
At this moment, Princess Kang happened to hear the whispering of the two, and said bitterly from the side: "What is there to thank for this!" It's just because I have a sister who is a princess, and I really think I'm a character. ”
When the two saw that it was Princess Kang coming in, they hurriedly stopped talking and saluted softly.
Princess Kang snorted coldly, didn't look at the two of them, walked by with her head held high, and sat down on her own seat. The flower on the table was the plum in January.
After the time, I saw Shao Changyun, Xie Yongzhong and others returning with each other, and entered the hall humbly with each other. As soon as everyone entered the hall, a small inner eunuch who was already waiting on the side stepped forward and led all the adults to their seats.
Emperor Xiao was contaminated with some dust because of the tour in the imperial garden, so he was surrounded by a group of internal supervisors and went back to the dormitory to change his clothes, and did not show up for the time being.
Because Emperor Xiao was not present, everyone was idle, so they gathered in twos and threes to talk about the new things in the holy capital. After a cup of tea, I heard a crisp whip sound from outside the hall.
The nobles of the Zhu Sect in the hall and the officials outside the hall heard the voice, hurriedly left the table and got up, bowed their heads and stood solemnly, waiting for Emperor Xiao to descend. As soon as everyone stood still, they saw Emperor Xiao slowly approaching with the chief supervisor on his side, and Queen Wang also walked dignifiedly, following Emperor Xiao. The two of them put on the gold steps in their clothes and sat down.
When Emperor Xiao and Queen Wang sat down, they listened to the shouts of the inner prison and inner supervisor accompanying Emperor Xiao, and everyone in the palace and the powerful officials outside the palace knelt on the ground together, reciting auspicious words in their mouths to congratulate Emperor Xiao on his long birthday.
Emperor Xiao sat on the dragon chair, waited for everyone's full salute, and then happily called everyone to get up.
"No." The chief supervisor of the internal supervision beside Emperor Xiao got the will and shouted.
"Thank you, Saint Shanglongen." Everyone thanked in unison, and then they stood up in unison.
At that time, according to the practice of the Wanshou Festival in previous years, at this time, the chief supervisor should be called in order, and all the relatives and nobles should bow in batches to congratulate Emperor Xiao on his longevity. Everyone was also ready, they all dressed up, and silently recited the birthday greetings they had thought of a long time ago, so that they could ask for a fortune in front of Emperor Xiao, and they were also familiar.
But who knew that everyone waited for a long time, and they didn't see any movement from the chief supervisor. Everyone looked puzzled, and they all looked at the chief of the internal prison, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
The chief supervisor of the internal supervision also pouted secretly, not that he didn't show his mouth, but it was actually Emperor Xiao's interest that rose, complaining that the Wanshou Festival in previous years was all in a general form, and there was no novelty to be gained, so he didn't follow this old routine today. The chief supervisor of the internal prison saw that someone at the bottom of the stairs gave him a look, and he had to look at his nose and nose, pretending not to know. But in his heart, he secretly sighed: Even if he has the heart to mention something, he has to take into account the feelings of the saints. How can you only care about their good, but the face in front of the saint is gone.
Seeing that everyone was so confused, Emperor Xiao couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't have to look at him, it's my will." Today's night banquet is not inferior to the old practice, and Zhong Aiqing is at will. ”
When the words fell, everyone looked at each other, and for a while, they couldn't understand the holy will, so no one dared to speak.
Seeing this, Emperor Xiao smiled and said: "This year's Wanshou Festival is the same system, not those cookie-cutter birthday words, or those upside-down birthday gifts, I am tired of seeing it, and I don't have to get tired of it." Today, let's also learn from the folk people's small family spirit, and no matter what rules and etiquette, everyone sits together lively, which does not seem to be raw, but also can be regarded as a reflection of the people's feelings. Tonight, Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be restrained, just treat it as an ordinary family banquet. ”
"But this ......," the crowd said in trepidation.
Emperor Xiao saw that everyone was still so careless, so he had to pretend to be majestic and said: "If it is discussed, the people here can be regarded as relatives, where did they come from so much care." Isn't it that all Aiqing looks at me and rejects me, and doesn't treat me as his own family? If that's the case, there's no need to set up this table today, everyone is cheap. Why do you have to come here to have fun, you don't have to spoil my interest. ”
When everyone saw that Emperor Xiao had said this, they had to bow their heads again and again, and they didn't even dare to say it. But after all, today is a banquet in the palace, even if Emperor Xiao says so, how can everyone dare to let it go. I had to make a joyful appearance on my face and coax Emperor Xiao.
For a while, Emperor Xiao moved the chopsticks, and the chief supervisor of the inner prison sent the small inner eunuchs in the palace to give wine and cloth to everyone in the palace.
At this time, the singers and dancers who had been waiting outside for a long time heard the sound, and they all spread their skirts and entered the hall, dancing with their sleeves. At that time, the singing and dancing in the hall were leveling, laughing and talking, and it was so romantic and rich.
When the wine is drunk, the people rejoice. Princess Kang, who was sitting at the banquet, suddenly stood up and left the table sideways. She smiled and fell to the ground.
I want to know what this Princess Kang wants, and listen to the next decomposition.
