Xia Nishang paced, slowly following next to Leng Yexuan. She knew that many people around her were looking at her, but Xia Nishang didn't care, and she didn't raise her eyes.

In fact, the psychology of those people is also very easy to grasp. It's just thinking that Xia Nishang, a woman born as a palace maid, can be regarded as having experienced thousands of sails in the palace. At last year's Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, she was the deposed empress, locked up in the Palace of Tears, depressed.

And time is fleeting, it is only a year's work, and she is once again standing by Leng Yexuan's side. The lower abdomen is high and bulging, and he looks at the world.

"Today is a good day, and it should be celebrated by the whole country, so everyone should be exempt." Leng Yexuan didn't know what Xia Nishang was thinking, but pulled her to the top.

Leng Yexuan's face was full of a hearty smile throughout. But it's no wonder, looking at the wealth of the world, the harmony of the people, and the moment of alternation of the old and the new, it is not difficult to guess Leng Yexuan's thoughts.

"Emperor Xie, Queen Xie." Everyone bowed down again, singing all blessings.

After everyone sat down, Leng Yexuan just said a few words, and the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet began.

looked at the palace maids wearing lotus pink palace clothes, holding a large tray of lotus flowers, and taking steps. All of a sudden, the entire hall was filled with fragrance.

In fact, the palace banquet every year is like this, looking at the surrounding %1%Ben%Reading%Novel xstxt people pushing cups and changing lamps, with a hypocritical smile on their faces, Xia Nishang just felt disgusted for a while.

However, she still has to pretend to be dignified, and she can't let the people below look at the joke.

This looks like this, she is really tired, but she is not qualified to say that she is tired. At least, in this position, everyone thinks that Xia Nishang is not qualified to say that she is tired.

The dinner party here begins, and so does the dancing and music over there.

Those dancing girls in the palace are dressed up very charming, trying to get the eyes of nobles. However, Xia Nishang knew that no matter how much they teased everyone's nerves, Leng Yexuan would not touch it.

Not to mention that this is the last day of the thirteenth year of Jiajing, Leng Yexuan should logically stay in Qifeng Palace, even if Xia Nishang is pregnant, it will not be an exception.

Even if there is no queen mother in the palace, Xia Nishang has been with Leng Yexuan for so long, and she feels that Leng Yexuan has its own set of rules. Those dancing girls are pleasing to the eye, but they won't touch them.

The hot pot that Er Lan had discussed with Xia Nishang before came up halfway through the night banquet.

In fact, such a palace banquet is really not particularly good. Even if all those dishes are made into flowers in the imperial dining room, everyone will not have much appetite.

After all, he was in the palace, and his whole spirit was tense, for fear that if he made a mistake, it would cause irreparable consequences. Therefore, generally speaking, the food at the palace banquet is rarely touched.

It looks delicious, but basically what it looks like when it is served is what it looks like when it is removed.

When the hot pot came up, everyone was already a few glasses of wine, although when they were at home before, they also made up a little dim sum, but after all, it was still not very comfortable.

"I didn't know, the queen actually prepared this?" Leng Yexuan looked at the pot that a little palace maid brought up and placed in front of his table, and was slightly stunned.

Because Leng Yexuan has always liked to eat some spicy food, his pot is also lightly covered with a layer of chili oil. With a few green vegetable leaves, it looks very cute against the backdrop of the broth.

"The concubine thinks that the emperor loves to eat, and there are snowflakes floating outside, so it is a beautiful thing to eat a hot pot like this." Xia Nishang picked up the handkerchief and wiped her lips gently, looking at the ministers and wives below who looked stunned, she couldn't help laughing.

The weather is so cold, eat some warm food, and then pair it with that hot spicy food, Xia Nishang just thinks about it, and she feels a burst of warmth from her body.

"It's still the queen who thinks thoughtfully." Because there were people all around, Leng Yexuan naturally wouldn't call Xia Nishang a dancer, but he gently grabbed Xia Nisheng's hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. "This is a tribute from foreign tribes some time ago, something called hot pot, everyone comes to try it."

Leng Yexuan looked at everyone's puzzled looks, and said out loud.

However, Rao is Leng Yexuan said this, but those ministers and wives still looked at each other, looking at the pot in front of them, with red, red, green and green things floating on it, and a few plates of cut beef and mutton slices at hand, I really didn't know how to start.

Those palace maids and eunuchs who stood behind the minister, at this time, showed benefits. Erlan had thought about this before. This hot pot was paid tribute by foreign tribes, and there were few in the palace. These are still the people from the Internal Affairs Office ordered by Leng Yexuan, and they imitated it.

There are not many people in the palace, and those ministers in the capital are naturally very few people have seen them.

Therefore, when Er Lan decided to use this hot pot, he carefully sent people to teach the palace maids and eunuchs who were to come over to serve at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet. At least they all learned how to use the thing in front of them, and seeing that those ministers didn't dare to do anything, they just stepped forward and helped them get started.

It was just a moment of effort, and there were bursts of meat aroma in the entire Ruiyu Palace.

Xia Nishang was pregnant, so she couldn't eat too much of this kind of thing, but she still wrinkled her nose and asked Er Lan to clip a few chopsticks for her.

And those ministers and wives, seeing that the emperor and the queen mother at the top began to eat, they couldn't care much more, and they also took chopsticks one after another, trying to take a look.

But I didn't expect that because the meat slices had been marinated before, they had a different taste. It's so soft and fragrant that I want to swallow my tongue. Especially the spicy seeds dipped in the red oil, which makes people love it even more, and they can't help but eat one piece after another.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere above the hall was lively.

Some people thought that the palace maid was slow, and they were also curious when they looked at it, so they took the meat slices into it and kept eating it.

Xia Nishang gently sipped the rose dew, only to feel the pungent fragrance coming. She half-squinted, looking at the people below, eating happily, and feeling very comfortable.

In the past, the palace banquet always felt that there was a lack of popularity, but now it seems that it is good. The Chinese New Year should be so lively.

"The queen is doing a good job, I really should reward you well." Leng Yexuan also looked at the people below with a smile, although every palace banquet he said that everyone should not be restrained, but after all, it was in the palace, how could he let go of his guard.

This is just a small move by Xia Nishang, but it made those ministers show a trace of their true temperament, and Leng Yexuan felt that it was very good.

"This is not the credit of the concubines, the palace banquet is all handled by Er Lan and Ran Tian." Xia Nishang didn't recognize it. In the past few days, Er Lan and Ran Tian have been busy, and they can't wait to be separated from each other, and Xia Nishang is also quite distressed when she sees it in her eyes.

"Hahaha, reward, reward." Leng Yexuan was in a good mood, what else was there after eating such a warm pot. Just laughed heartily and said to the two palace maids behind Xia Nisheng.

"Slave and maid thank the emperor for the reward, thank the queen for the reward." Er Lan and Ran Tian glanced at each other, and it was a light blessing salute. But they still didn't forget to mention Xia Nishang, after all, it was Xia Nishang who asked for this reward for them.

In fact, sometimes, being a slave does their part, and they don't care so much about money. For them, face is even more important.

Leng Yexuan proposed to reward them on such a big occasion and such a good day, and he also said that they did a good job this time. Such a reward is even more gratifying than those gold, silver and jewelry.

It's rare to have such a lively palace banquet, and those ministers are also slightly drunk one by one, with a faint flush on their cheeks.

When the palace banquet is carried out, it is time to disperse, and tomorrow will be the first day of the fourteenth year of Jiajing. Although according to the folk saying, today is to keep the New Year, but after all, it is impossible for people to even return home.

When he arrived, Leng Yexuan saw that the big furniture was full of wine and food, so he simply said a few words and let everyone go.

And he, with Xia Nisheng, got off the chair, walked out of the main hall, and walked in the direction of Qifeng Palace.

When passing by the crowd, Xia Nishang felt in a trance that there was a person's gaze, and he was always following him. Deep and distant, with a touch of sharpness.

However, when Xia Nishang turned around, she didn't see anything.

"What's wrong, Mai'er?" Because he had been holding Xia Nishang's hand, Leng Yexuan felt Xia Nishang's strangeness, and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, Your Majesty." Xia Nishang was stunned, and twisted her head back. "Maybe the concubine is dazzled, the emperor has drunk a lot of wine, and the concubine will help you walk slowly."

Xia Nishang said, stepped forward and gently supported Leng Yexuan's arm.

To say, Leng Yexuan has drunk a lot this time, but he is not drunk yet, and Xia Nishang is now pregnant, even if Leng Yexuan is dizzy, it is impossible to really let Xia Nishang support him.

It's just that in the eyes of everyone behind them, the emperor and queen look like they are in harmony and deep affection.

When Xia Nishang left Ruiyu Palace, a dark green figure raised his head and took a deep look at her back.
