Chapter 6: Chinese New Year's Eve (middle)
It was three o'clock in the morning, the sky had completely darkened, and the palace people had put the palace lamps up, and the night pearl was placed in front of the case of the emperor, the queen mother and the queen, and the seat of a slightly smaller night pearl on the case should be the seat of the prince Rongjing.

A laughing light interrupted Rong Hua and Rong Rui's fight.
"Ronghua, don't be rude to Rui'er." The thick male voice carried a little intimidation, and suddenly made the two stop.
"See the Emperor." Everyone saluted, and Shi Jin and the newly arrived Shi Shi Feng did not kneel, but put their right hand on their left shoulder and bowed.
"Calm down, today is just a small New Year's banquet, no need to be polite." Emperor Tanglin is now six out of fifty, and his political achievements in the past 30 years have been on the throne, and the border is still healthy.
"This is the princess of the Northern Desert?" The emperor stopped and asked in a harmonious voice before he walked to Shi Jin's case.
"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Shi Jin got up and replied, with a calm attitude, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Zhili, yes, it seems that I have found a good family for Jing'er." Emperor Tanglin laughed and ascended to the throne.
"Isn't it? Otherwise, it would be said that the father was eccentric! The voice that answered the phone was very familiar, it was King Xuan Rongxuan, who stopped people outside the city gate that day.
"Don't worry, I'll just wait for you." The emperor couldn't help but smile.
Everyone should also laugh together, this is probably about to be the finger of King Xuan, and the hearts of each family suddenly came alive.
Only then did Shi Jin see clearly that the Fifth Prince, Xiangwang Rongfang, the Ninth Emperor Prince Rong Mao, and several other princesses were here, and Su Shifeng also arrived.
Among them, the most conspicuous people in addition to the royal family are Li Shouguo, the prince of Zhenguo, who has been in the limelight in recent years, and Wei Yuan, the prime minister of Zhengyipin.
These two people are born as military generals, and the other has been in the court for a long time, so it can be said that they are the right-hand men of today's saints, if it was more than ten years ago, plus Jiang Minsheng, who only shook the south of the Yangtze River, it would be the prosperous dynasty of Tanglin.
As the emperor sat down on the throne, everyone sat down.
"Father, why hasn't the imperial brother come yet? With such a talented princess of the Northern Desert, he is not in a hurry to take a look? Xuan Wang Rong Xuan opened his mouth as soon as he sat down.
This is punishing the heart, one is to find out that the prince is not punctual, and he actually let the saint wait, the second is to show that the prince does not attach importance to her, the princess of the Northern Desert, and the third is to sell her a good one. is worthy of being the current queen's parent, and a few words will make the prince fall into a disadvantage.
The emperor didn't speak, and Shi Jin also sat and watched. After all, she hasn't married the prince yet, and she is in such a hurry to protect the prince, and it is inevitable that she will lose her grace.
And if she doesn't speak, there will be someone to support the prince's face.
"The Queen Mother has arrived." The singing and shouting of the eunuchs outside the hall immediately made King Xuan shut up.
Everyone, including the emperor, also got up and saluted, the queen mother is now in her sixties, and there are not many pearls on her hair, but they are all treasures, and it is not difficult to see that she was also a peerless figure when she was young.
However, what attracted more attention was the man who was holding her, dressed in a dark brocade robe, with a black jade crown and a black hosta mixed into the same black hair, and a face like jade.
Although there is a pair of sword eyebrows, it has a little softness due to perennial illness. The eyelashes cover the eyes, making people unable to see the emotions clearly, and the thin lips are slightly pursed, as if they are holding up the sick body.
There is no need to guess, the one who can wear the right clothes and get close to the queen mother must be the prince of the dynasty, Rongjing.
The Queen Mother walked towards the main seat with a slight smile on the Qinglong cane, "Flatten." When passing by, he glanced at her with a smile and said a few good words.
I don't know if it's her illusion, although she lowered her head, she always felt that Rong Jing was also looking at her, her eyes were not warm, with a faint look, but Shi Jin's heart was secretly shocked.
After everyone sat down, the emperor waved his hand, and the eunuch began to spread the banquet and singing and dancing, and after a while, the scene became lively, and everyone began to talk and laugh.
Since ancient times, men and women are different, with the left as the respect, men all sit on the left side with the emperor, and the lady and the woman sit on the right side. I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional......
The emperor's original queen An went more than ten years ago, and the current Wei family is the sister-in-law of the prime minister Wei Yuan, who was originally one of the four concubines.
"Queen Mother, it's really boring just to watch singing and dancing like this, the concubine has a proposal." As soon as the queen spoke, Shi Jin put down the ivory food chopstick, and this is going to be troublesome.
"Oh? What a proposal, let's come to the mourning family to listen. The Queen Mother looked at Wei and Shi Jin.
"Look, there are so many wonderful people here today, all of them have been carefully dressed, and they are festive when they look at it, so it's better to let them show their talents, and don't let them be bored, right?" The queen smiled happily, as if she had no heart in the city.
"The queen's proposal is good, what do you think of the queen mother?" The emperor took over the conversation, and it was the time to test the Northern Desert.
"Well, you young people love to toss, and the mourning family will be lively." The queen mother is also reluctant to let Rong Jing marry an embroidered pillow, after all, the prince's situation is still relatively difficult now, although there will be support from the Northern Desert in the future, but the current situation has to be improved, right?
"Then Hua'er will make a fool of herself first and make grandmother laugh." Rong Hua got up as soon as she spoke, she was a little princess, and no one dared to shoot her in the limelight.
"Okay, the little monkey will come first." The Queen Mother also smiled, this Ronghua is still a pistachio in the palace.
Rong Hua didn't twist either, and stepped forward to sing a song "Huashang Song", although the timbre was not too good, it was also suitable for the occasion.
Next is Miss Su Jia, known as the first beauty of Tanglin, Su Yuxian, who looks first-class, with distant mountain eyebrows, apricot eyes, and water spirits, and anyone who sees it will have a soft heart.
She came to a dance, in the cold winter, Ren was growing up in the Northern Desert and didn't dare to wear such a thin one, but the Tanglin people still respect the dancer very much, because the emperor's mother was born as a dancer, and the song "Red Peony" shocked the world and won the favor of Emperor Taizu.
Although Su Yuxian's song "Lingering Moon Yin" did not have the demeanor of Empress Xiaoming, it also won the applause of the whole house.
Next, several other daughters of the family performed painting, calligraphy, piano sound, zhengyue, etc., only Shi Jin only applauded and did not come forward.
"The princess of the Northern Desert looks down on our Dongling's talents, why don't you say a word?" The one who spoke was the queen closest to her.
"How dare you, it's just a little novel, I've never seen such a rich cultural display, and I'm shocked by the heritage of your country for a while, I hope you forgive me." Shi Jin got up and replied, his voice soft and steady.
"Then you can have one too!" Except for the little princess Ronghua, no one dares to be rude in front of His Majesty.
"Hua'er, don't be rude." It was her mother who stopped her, the virtuous concubine Jiang, who was thirty years old, with thousands of manners and a long-standing holy favor.
"Please ask the eldest princess to show her hand too, and let us open our eyes, right?" King Xuan also came to plug in a pole.
"In this case, if you smile for Empress Dowager Bo, Shi Jin will be ugly." Shi Jinyan has already explained that he is performing for the Queen Mother, not for random appreciation.
Now it's the end of the day, and a rare round of bright moon appears, and the undisappeared ice and snow shine more and more crystalline.
