Just as all modern evening parties are a combination of hosts' speeches, singing and dancing, chorus, solo, cross talk, and sketches, all festivals in the Qing Dynasty are also similar.

First of all, the emperor wrote a tribute to the ancestors of the gods of heaven and earth, and the emperor excerpted the son, which was read by the scholars to everyone, and then sacrificed to the ancestors of heaven and earth.

Basically, most of the day is wasted.

From four o'clock in the afternoon, the emperor took the men to hold a banquet in the Qianqing Palace or Wuying Hall or other places, and there was no queen in the harem, and they could go back to the palaces after worshipping the queen mother.

Li Wei and the other juniors took their grandchildren to Yonghe Palace at this time, waiting for Concubine De Niangniang to come back, and they waited together to kowtow to the little concubines who were not qualified to go to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.

When Concubine De came back, she first said softly and said that she couldn't stop it. The people at the bottom said that the mother was hard, and the mother was filial, so we were not in a hurry.

Then Concubine De went in to change clothes and wash up, and the rest of the people continued to wait. After two quarters of an hour, Niangniang came out, and they were ranked in order according to their status and entered the temple to kowtow to Niangniang to say goodbye.

This is all over, and everyone can finally sit down separately.

Niangniang likes and is close to her, and she will be called to her side, and Cheng Concubine and all Fujin are among them. Hongyu and other grandchildren, Niangniang will call to the side to pick one or two to ask, and then ask someone to take the side hall to eat, drink and have fun.

The rest of the concubines had to go back to their palaces at this time in previous years - Yonghe Palace did not entertain them to eat, drink and have fun, but this year they all stayed.

This made Li Wei quite surprised. Following the surprise, the eldest grandmother of Yonghe Palace came over and curtsied to her, she hurriedly returned the salute, and the eldest grandmother smiled: "Niangniang, please come forward and talk." ”

Well?!

Flattered no, it's a big one!

Originally, I didn't know what to do with her, but after all these years, she still learned everything from her when she went outside.

The eldest grandmother also found a place for the Nala clan: "I'll ask someone to lead you to accompany the little masters, there are many people in the palace today, and the little masters are worried that no one is watching." ”

The children of the Nara clan brought in the eldest daughter and the eldest son, and the eldest son asked the seventh master to take them forward. Although there are many children in their house, they only call the eldest in the palace whenever they enter the palace. Concubine Cheng never said anything.

Anyway, from Cheng Concubine to the Seventh Master, they are all cautious and don't like to be showy.

Nala is not a very good idea, so the grandmother of Yonghe Palace said that she should go to see the child, and she bowed to Li Wei and went.

The only ally is an unreliable guy, and he has already defected to the enemy, so Li Wei has to bravely go to see Concubine De. Speaking of which, she has been married to the fourth master for so long, but she can't even count the number of face-to-face conversations with Concubine De.

I have the impression that Concubine De is not a kind person, although every time she speaks, she is also kind, but she just doesn't have that feeling of 'I like all shijie, I love human beings'.

It's like, 'I don't like people causing trouble.'"

It seems that from the impression of the fourth master from outsiders, this mother and son are really strikingly similar.

It's not approachable enough anyway. I don't have the skill point of 'kindness' on my body.

Entering the main hall of Yonghe Palace, the eldest grandmother of Yonghe Palace led her to walk away, so that Li Wei experienced what it was like to look at the master from the perspective of a palace maid.

Brother lived in a small courtyard at the time, and he didn't feel anything, but he couldn't see any flowers and plants except for potted plants at a glance. If you want to see the flowers and plants, you can only go to the Imperial Garden. It is said that modern times are steel and cement cities, and the Forbidden City is a brick and wood city.

When she looked at it from the corner, she felt that most of the palace in Yonghe Palace was actually dim, and only Concubine De, Concubine Cheng and Fujin were sitting where a lot of lights were lit, illuminating that piece of the hall. Although it was still daytime outside and the sun was still very strong, the palace was deep and wide, and the door of the palace was hung with cotton curtains in winter, and a screen was set up to block the wind.

So there was not a ray of sunlight that shone in.

And the temple is like it's already night, and the sense of time will be lost. It's like suddenly walking outside from a movie theater.

When she walked behind Sifujin, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and she felt like she was back in the world. In fact, there were palace maids standing along the road just now, Li Wei had never paid attention to them before, so she felt that they should be there.

Just this moment of feeling made her shudder.

When there is a kind of palace maid in the corner of the hall, they are not people, and the masters in the center of the candlelight are living people.

And standing here, I felt that the palace maids behind me were staring at her coldly.

Li Wei shuddered.

I don't know what Concubine De called her to do? Quietly intercepted her back, not to mention the reason. She looked at Concubine De, just in time to see that the grandmother who had brought her in was whispering something in Concubine De's ear.

Concubine De looked at her and smiled slightly, she really felt like she was breaking the ice.

Sure enough, he usually doesn't smile or be gentle, and when people are gentle, they are shocked. Li Wei remembered the appearance of the fourth master when he said soft words to her, and deeply felt that the mother and son were really very similar.

Concubine De beckoned to her, she passed behind Fu Jin, knelt on the right position, kowtowed, and said, "The slave asks for Niangniang." ”

Hearing Concubine De above her head smile: "Get up." ”

A palace maid stepped forward to gently help her up and lead her forward.

Sitting close to Concubine De is a concubine, she looked at Li Wei a few times, and said to Concubine De with a smile: "Everyone around Niangniang has aura, this child seems to be Niangniang pointed out to Sibeile, right?" ”

Li Wei stood and the palace maid asked her to stand and hang her head to make a deferential gesture, and the palace maid helped her here and retreated.

Concubine De said to Concubine Cheng: "I haven't seen it in person back then, but I heard Aunt Dai of Chuxiu Palace say that this child is good, and I pointed it out when I thought that there was a little waiter around the fourth child." After standing for a while, Li Wei beckoned again.

Li Wei took another step forward, bowed slightly, Concubine Dezhen looked at her kindly, and said, "You have served the fourth brother all these years, and you got a fourth elder brother last year." After speaking, he waved to the back, and a palace maid came over, holding a tray in her hand.

Concubine De pointed to the tray and said, "This is what I wore in my early years, and now it is not suitable, you can take it and play with it." ”

The palace maid stepped forward, lifted the tray covered with a red cloth, and below was a gold comb that was definitely aimed at the dead people, with a wide and long adult palm, and it was made of real gold at a glance, which was a gorse flower shape, not a phoenix or luan, because there was no long tail feathers and a crown on the forehead. The flower branches hang down, there are leaves and flowers, and the core of the flower is inlaid with two rather translucent rubies, both the size of a finger, and the color is black.

It's a good thing, but it's too heavy for it to wear a bun alone, and no one can afford to wear such a heavy hair comb. To wear it, you have to wear a flag head - the flag head is also heavy.

So when she saw it, Li Wei felt a faint pain in her scalp. Because it is a mother's reward, she can wear it out for her mother to see. Counting on the fingers, the day of entering the palace is the New Year.

Luckily, there are still two months.

Li Wei knelt down to thank her, and retreated with the tray in her hand.

When she came in, she said two words, 'Say hello to the mother' and 'Thank you for the mother's reward, the slave is grateful, and he must serve the master well'.

After coming out, Li Wei couldn't help but complain, this is what Niangniang wants to talk to her?

Looking at the tray in his hand, is it for something or to deliberately call her in front of him to appreciate something?

Although she didn't use her brain very well, she still understood a little bit of Concubine De's meaning.

Calling her in front of you is the point, and rewarding things is just the end. I just don't understand if I call her over, is it for her, or for the fourth master? Or to someone else?

In the main hall of Yonghe Palace, Fu Jin raised his heart from the Li family coming in just now, and when Niangniang suddenly rewarded her with something, she suddenly felt that her face was ** spicy.

Fang Fujin was rewarded, but she didn't.

Is this a reprimand for her?

Fu Jin went through the recent events in his heart, and then thought that Da Gege didn't come to do anything today. Although when the children came forward to say goodbye, the mother just glanced at it and didn't say a word.

Ergege complained of illness some time ago, but Da Gege delayed for two days, and he only fell ill yesterday. So the fourth master didn't specifically deliver a message to her, but asked her to mention it to her mother when she came today.

It seems that the mother is not satisfied.

Fujin wanted to find an opportunity to get things back, but Niangniang talked with Cheng Concubine, Fourteen Fujin and others, and did not turn the topic to the child. Fu Jin even wanted to say that 'the weather is getting colder and colder', so that he could easily say that Da Gege also caught a cold and fell ill.

But I didn't even have this opportunity.

She was in a hurry, and the people of Yonghe Palace came in with something, and a grandmother said a few words to Niangniang, and Niangniang looked at her.

Fu Jin subconsciously straightened his back and leaned forward slightly.

Concubine De smiled: "It just so happens that I have something to give to Concubine Hui here, and I will call you over there, so you can go there." ”

Concubine Hui?

Fu Jin was confused and asked someone to take it away.

Seeing her stunned look, Concubine De sighed slightly at Concubine Cheng. Concubine Cheng smiled: "The juniors are all young, just wait for them to grow up." ”

Concubine De sighed: "You are coaxing me with words." If this person is not enlightened, he can go on for the rest of his life. If only I could open my mind, I would have opened it early. ”

Before six o'clock, the dining room brought dinner for today. The fireworks were set off just after ten o'clock, Li Wei heard the sound of cannons outside, turned her head to see the brilliant fireworks exploding in the dark sky, and looked at the pocket watch suspiciously, thinking that it was broken

The children don't care about the time, they are used to putting down their chopsticks and running to the courtyard of Yonghe Palace to watch the fireworks when they see the fireworks.

The first ten cannons are all big fireworks, and each one can attract children to exclaim. The palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines also stood in the courtyard, and everyone looked up at the sky.

Concubine De said to Concubine Cheng: "It's time to tell the children to go back." ”

The two women who had lived in the deep palace for a long time had a deep understanding of this court, and they both knew that the palace search a few days ago was just the beginning. The emperor couldn't even take care of the surface whitewashing, and cleaned up the palace before the Golden Festival.

Today's excitement is only temporary.

Concubine Cheng's face was heavy, and when she called Qifujin to instruct, she couldn't help but say: "Go back and tell Lao Qi that the weather is cold recently, tell him to pay attention to his body and don't get sick." ”

Qifujin only cares about the mother, and Fu said: "The son must instruct our master." ”

Concubine De spoke, and Li Wei and the others were pulled out of the palace at a speed. Hongyu tightly pulled the third elder brother's hand and followed her, almost trotting all the way. Li Wei was afraid that the children would be nervous, so she also made a fist and arm swing and ran away, which really amused Hongyu and the third elder brother.

The fourth elder brother was kept in the house by the fourth master on the grounds that he was too young, and Li Wei was fortunate at this time.

It seems that there is really something in the palace.

In addition, Fu Jin also told her to be uncontrollable. I saw that her expression was wrong from just now.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the fourth master was already waiting, and he told them to get in the car quickly without saying a word of nonsense. Sitting in the car, she hugged the third elder brother, he was still unhappy, pulled her and said, "Eniang, why did you come out so early today?" I haven't seen the fireworks yet. ”

I used to be able to watch it for two or three quarters of an hour, but today I watched it for a quarter of an hour.

He didn't know the time, but he knew that there were few fireworks!

Li Wei also feels this way, and today's festival is a bit anticlimactic. The beginning is so pompous and lively, and then it ends in a hurry. Especially today, even the fourth master came out early, and they used to have to wait for him for a while, because there would be drinking and drinking in front.

He came out so early today, did he not drink before? Still is...... The front seat is also over in a hurry?

The author has something to say: so many first, everyone will watch first, and I will write later
