Chapter Ninety-Three: The State Banquet
The bitter wind mixed with fine snow blew obliquely and diagonally, and only the whirring wind could be heard sitting in the temple.
"It's not sunny today, and the snow outside has swept away stubble after stubble, presumably it must be a good year for Ruixue." Bai Ling smiled and had a lively atmosphere.
In the past few days, everyone in the Ganqian Palace has been cautious, lest Zhuang Zhao and the imperial heirs have something to do, and indeed they rarely hear laughter.
Zhuang Zhao smiled faintly for face, held the stove and said: "They are also hard, you can reward them with a bowl of tea for me, on a cold day, warm up your body, it's not good to freeze." โ
"The mother is kind, and the slave has thanked them for it"
Bai Ling blessed his body and walked under the porch outside.
The little eunuchs were dressed in winter clothes and swept the snow outside, the ground was smooth, but the snow was half a person high in the corner.
"Why did my sister come out, it's cold this day, what do you have to say?" Xiao Yan shook the falling snow on his robe, walked to the porch and said softly.
Bai Ling said: "Tell them to rest, they all go to the pantry to drink a bowl of hot tea, it was ordered by the mother, saying that it is not to freeze in the cold weather." โ
"Mother's mercy." Xiao Yan shouted with a smile, "Don't be busy, let's go, drink a bowl of hot tea." โ
A group of little eunuchs had already heard it with their ears pricked up, and when they heard Xiao Yan shouting, they all put down their brooms and pressed them into the house.
"This group of little rabbit cubs" Xiao Yan scolded with a smile, turned his head to Bai Ling and said, "It's cold, sister go in early." The minions went to watch them and save them from making trouble. โ
A black shadow flashed by the edge of the cornices in the distance, and Bai Ling squinted and stood for a while before going back.
The white tea inside said: "Tonight is the state banquet, presumably some of the people in the imperial dining room are busy." Master, should we have a warm pot at night? It's hot, and it's much better than those warm dishes in the imperial dining room. โ
Zhuang Zhao looked at her beaming face, and was also interested, "It's okay, whatever dishes are served with them, I must have only one dish of tofu and green bamboo shoots." She rarely smiled lively, "I haven't eaten for a long time, and I still miss it a little." โ
Bai Ling laughed on the side, "This is a good idea, and you can eat comfortably." โ
"Slave maid, let people go and order the people in the dining room," Bai Cha got up excitedly.
Bai Ling tucked the quilt for Zhuang Zhao, who was crooked on the kang, and sighed: "The big kitchen is so bad, whatever you want to eat is in people's eyes." โ
Zhuang Zhao smiled slightly, and didn't know if he listened or not. Yuanshan Dai's eyebrows were covered with a clear sorrow, and when she looked at it, she was pitiful, and she couldn't wait to hold everything to her.
Bai Ling also stopped talking, stood aside and mixed the incense, and the room was quiet for a while.
The rest of the palace was busy and noisy.
The queen, dressed in a black and red embroidered brocade and phoenix robe, sat in the hall, summoned several principals, and asked a few times before saying, "The state banquet is not trivial." Everything in this palace has been handed over to you, and if anything is wrong, you know the consequences yourself. He asked Xihe again: "Did the emperor send someone here?" โ
Xihe said with a bitter face: "Not yet." The slave and maid urged people to ask a few times, and they all said that the emperor was seeing the ministers and asked the mother to wait. โ
"It's almost the New Year, what's the big deal?" The queen was a little dissatisfied, "There is also the matter of seats." How can it be said that the Dong family is also the maiden family of the palace, how can it be justified if there is no seat? Even the Zhang family has it. โ
The Zhang family is the empress dowager's foreign family, and the relatives who have passed the anger still have a place, why doesn't her Dong family have it?
Xihe gave her an idea, "Why don't you come in now?" What's the big deal about adding an extra seat. โ
Gui Zhi snorted his toes, but he didn't stand up in the end.
The Zhang family is because of the Empress Dowager, but the title is sealed, what does the Dong family have?
Could it be that if you become a queen's foreign family, it will be honorable? Are you eligible for a state dinner?
But the queen is already disgusted with her, and she doesn't need to be loyal anymore.
What's more, the queen may not be able to listen to it, so it's better to have more than one thing.
The queen was really moved, "In this way, you take the sign of the palace, go out of the palace, announce the message of the palace, and let the two ladies of the Dong Mansion come into the palace to talk to me." โ
"The slave knows," Xihe responded without hesitation.
The queen took her hand and patted it a few times, "Good girl, this palace will reward you well when you come back." โ
Xihe hurriedly said: "Being able to do things for my mother is a blessing that the slave has cultivated for several lifetimes, how dare I ask for a reward." โ
"Look, there's no more sensible girl than this girl in this palace," the queen smiled as she covered her mouth.
Several housekeepers and grandmothers also chimed in: "Miss Xihe is really a good heart. โโฆโฆ Vicious!
They don't respect this little girl on weekdays.
It also looks like he is young, but his heart is not shallow at all. Anyone who lacks filial piety, I heard that she has not said good things in front of the queen.
But as long as you feed this girl, the rest will be much more convenient to do.
After all, the queen doesn't understand anything, and it is all about likes and dislikes. As long as this girl can say a few more good words in front of the queen, their position is stable, and the money will not be earned.
Thinking of this, their smiles were a little sincere.
The queen glanced at the sky and said to Xihe: "Okay, you can go quickly, when it gets dark, the road will not be easy to walk." โ
It just so happened that at this time, the pen and ink came to pass the word.
"Mother, Wan Fu Jin'an."
The queen raised her hand to let him get up, "Your Majesty, is that busy?" โ
"Exactly. The emperor ordered the servants to pick up the mother and go to the Spring and Autumn Palace together. โ
The queen got up and straightened out the phoenix crown, and then said, "Okay, let's go." โ
