Chapter 284: Harem Family Banquet
Yesterday's head was dizzy, and the words of the female master of ceremonies didn't seem to be remembered, but today standing in the main hall, facing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, she was not nervous at all, and the things ordered by the female master of ceremonies were clearly remembered, and there was no mistake in accordance with the etiquette system.

Sha Li hung his head slightly from beginning to end, and the surrounding officials also stood silently in their positions, in the empty palace hall, only the melodious Yale hovered in the sky, the ceremonial officials sang in a deep voice, and Sha Li bowed to the emperor on the dragon throne.
She lowered her head, and her eyes could vaguely see the man standing at the peak of the Huang Dynasty through the veil, maybe it was Meng Jing's remaining soul, and when they met again after a two-year absence, Sha Li felt a little stuffy in her chest, and there was an inexplicable feeling that silently affected Sha Li's mood.
Meng Jing ...... Are you still there? Shali asked in her heart.
She waited for a long time, but no one answered her, and even Fang Cai's throbbing disappeared. Sha Li sighed slowly, it seemed that she was thinking too much, Meng Jing was no longer there, and now she was the only one Sha Li.
The elaborate ceremony lasted for a day, and it was not really finished until the sun set. The emperor invited a banquet to hundreds of officials, and Sha Li went to the harem accompanied by the female master of ceremonies.
"Your Highness has worked hard." The female master of ceremonies whispered to Sha Li.
At this time, only the female master of ceremonies and the two rows of palace maids behind her who did not dare to raise their heads were accompanied by Sha Li. Sha Li put it on the arm of the female master of ceremonies and slowly walked towards the mirror pavilion prepared by the emperor.
"Is there anything else that happens after that? Can I rest? Shali asked exhaustedly.
The female master of ceremonies shook her head and said, "Your Highness can't rest yet." After returning to the dormitory, he had to change into another set of dresses, the emperor feasted hundreds of officials, and His Royal Highness wanted to catch up with all the women. ”
"Reminiscing about the old ......" Sha Li couldn't hold back and smiled bitterly, "Where is there still the old to talk about......"
"The lower official is ...... mouthful" The female master of ceremonies realized that she had used inappropriate words, and immediately knelt on the ground to admit her mistake.
Sha Li is too lazy to care about anything on this kind of issue, and now he is not even upset, maybe it is more appropriate to use the word numbness. She lifted the female master of ceremonies who was about to kneel down and said, "Excuse me." ”
The female master of ceremonies is also a little incomprehensible to the sand glass temperament, yesterday when I listened to the story, she was lively and active, she dozed off when she was fine, and she was an ignorant girl who was alive and well, she had seen a lot of this kind of aristocratic woman who was not deeply involved in the world, and at that time she also took out her female officer's posture, and she could also say a few words.
And today, for some reason, the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony made her look like a different person, and her face was completely out of step with the calmness of her age, and even a little indifferent, with a kind of majesty that could not be looked at directly.
Sha Li didn't know what the female master of ceremonies was thinking, she was absent-minded for the rest of the journey, and the female official was simply silent, and the palace maid behind her followed behind, and the group only had footsteps.
Sha Li looked at the high palace wall, this kind of red wall couldn't stop her, as long as she sacrificed the Sansheng Sword and found the eye of the formation set up by the mountain gate and the silver feather guard, it was not difficult to leave without knowing it.
But walking in the backyard of this deep palace, wearing heavy ceremonial clothes and dragging heavy steps, I felt that the world outside the wall was so far away, and I was so depressed that I couldn't breathe.
Sha Li shook her head, no longer looking at the sky separated by the high wall, she looked at the female official beside her, and asked, "Will the Empress Dowager also come to the dinner?" ”
The female master of ceremonies replied respectfully: "It's cold, and it's even more exposed, and the empress dowager is weak, so she won't go to the night banquet." ”
"That's right...... I still miss her a little bit. Shali said quietly.
"Your Royal Highness and the Empress Dowager have a deep relationship, if the Empress Dowager knows that Her Highness has been thinking about her in her heart, she will be so happy that she can't sleep." The emcee said softly.
Sha Li chuckled: "After the banquet tonight, I'm afraid it will be very late, so don't disturb her old man for the time being, and go to greet her early tomorrow morning." ”
"By the way, when is it coming?" Sha Li asked, she is not familiar with anyone in this palace, and her mind is still very simple, and it is inconvenient to ask about others, so it is very appropriate to ask her.
The female master of ceremonies said: "Back to Your Highness, she should have already returned from the other courtyard, and she should have been waiting for Her Highness in the dormitory at this time." ”
Fortunately, at least it's still there. Shali relaxed. Back in the dormitory, sure enough, I waited in the palace, everything in the dormitory was cleaned up, and the scent of sandalwood was absent. Seeing that Sha Li was back, her excitement was overflowing, if it weren't for the female master of ceremonies still beside her, she would definitely be chattering around Sha Li again.
Sha Li took off her heavy dress under the service of the surrounding palace maids, and suddenly felt that her body was lighter, and her breathing was much smoother.
It took a lot of effort to put on the layers of dressing, the palace maids were busy dressing up for Shali, Shali sat under the window, the night gradually spread, the palace maids and the attendants were busy lighting the lanterns, and the Chinese lanterns of the palace were dotted at the beginning.
"Your Highness, it's time to go, it's time for dinner." The female master of ceremonies reminded.
Sha Li looked at the beauty in the cloud sideburns palace in the bronze mirror, with a little red lips and eyebrows, and she couldn't get in touch with the crazy girl in the mountain gate at all. The little palace maids around saw Sha Li looking at the bronze mirror, and sweetly praised Sha Li's beauty, and Sha Li stroked her cheeks, which was not what she wanted.
Sha Li followed the master of ceremonies to the place of the night banquet, and the surrounding palace maids carried palace lamps to illuminate the road under Sha Li's feet. Sha Li walked slowly with her cloak, originally the emperor had prepared a chariot for her, but she glanced at it and refused, if she could, she really didn't want to sit on this thing anymore.
The place of the harem night banquet was set up in an inner hall, and it was dark, and she didn't bother to look up to identify the name of the main hall. However, the lights in the main hall were bright, and for a moment she thought of the night when Concubine Ming committed suicide and the days on Guixu Island, which were not good memories.
Sha Li walked into the main hall, and the women and harem concubines who sat down immediately got up to greet her, and the voice of "Greeting the eldest princess" shook her a little dizzy. What kind of status Meng Jing has in the emperor's heart, today's pomp is enough to prove everything, whether it is sincere or hypocritical, the etiquette on the scene will definitely not be bad.
Shali looked around, only the upper seat in the middle was still empty, and it was estimated that this was where she should be sitting in the near future. She was no longer the little girl who had just crossed over, she paced through the middle, accepting the worship of everyone, until she reached the upper seat, she pinched the tone of her speech, and said: "It is a family banquet recently, everyone does not need to be so formal, sit down quickly." ”
Everyone blessed their bodies slightly, and thanked them again before sitting down again.
Sha Li nodded to the female master of ceremonies behind her, and the female officer received Sha Li's order, and immediately announced the start of the family banquet, and the cold atmosphere eased somewhat.
Shali rubbed her belly, no matter what, there was nothing more important than eating. (To be continued.) )
