Chapter 40: The Annual Banquet

On the fifth watch, there was a lot of commotion outside. For a while, the lights lit up half of the cold night.

The night rain suddenly felt the wind and cold, the high fever did not subside, and his personal maid ran in the house to tell each other, and the people in each room and courtyard got up and came to greet the little master.

In addition to the house doctor, the first to receive the news were Feng Tianyue and Ye Lixuan.

Seeing Ze'er's dreams constantly, the two of them were frightened.

I was still alive yesterday, but today I am lying in bed and sick. Could it be that it was a sudden emergency caused by falling into the water and getting cold?

The house doctor prescribed a few pairs of medicines and ordered someone to boil them and feed them to Ze'er.

The concubines in the mansion vied with each other to take care of Ye Yuze, and wanted to show themselves in front of Ye Lixuan.

Ye Yuze woke up as long as his father and mother, which disappointed everyone. I had to send supplements from each room and say hello.

Feng Tianyue and Ye Lixuan took turns to watch for a day and a night, but they didn't see Ze'er doing well. Fortunately, the fever subsided, which made people feel a little calm.

The disease came and went quickly. Ze'er drank a few patches of medicine, rested in bed for two days, and slept until dawn, and was actually fine.

Coincidentally, Ye Yuze's recovery was just in time for the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. That night, the young children were not allowed to sleep all night, and they had to keep watch until dawn, so that the evil spirits could not come near.

The little master's spirit is so good, and everyone sighs that the lucky stars are shining, or they are extremely Tailai. At this point, all the evil fortunes were driven away.

Feng Tianyue took care of Ze'er for a few days in a row, but she didn't sleep well, so she couldn't keep up. After playing with Ze'er in the middle of the night, he was very tired and drowsy.

When I woke up the next day, I slept in my own flower tent in my clothes, and I don't know when I fell asleep.

Hearing Linglong say that Ye Lixuan came back with her, she was careful for fear of waking her up, and regarded her as if she were a treasure. There was a faint joy in his heart, and a trace of shyness jumped up his cheeks.

Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is a big banquet in the palace, and you must bathe and change your clothes to show respect. Feng Tianyue woke up to take care of it, and it took an hour.

When she was dressed, she had to have some breakfast.

After waiting for a long time, Ye Lixuan and Ze'er returned from the palace.

Hundreds of officials congratulate each other, and the ceremonies of worshiping the heavens and ancestors are all tightly together, which is really cumbersome. Fortunately, Ze'er didn't have to participate in the pilgrimage and worship ceremonies, and was held by the guards and slept for a while, otherwise I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold these scenes.

Ye Lixuan led Ze'er, followed by a little eunuch, presenting the emperor's imperial treasure and the blessing bag given by several palace worshippers.

He sent someone to replace the word "Fu" written by the emperor and stored the old one in the study. gave all the lucky bags to Ze'er, which made the tired Ze'er wake up and be very happy.

Seeing him like this, Feng Tianyue thought of sending something to Ze'er. So he asked Linglong to pack a hundred gold leaves, and wrapped a big blessing bag as Ze'er's 100-year-old money to ward off evil spirits and seek good fortune.

The housekeeper asked the maid in the house how to reward him, and Feng Tianyue couldn't understand it, so she asked the housekeeper to arrange it as usual.

The two went back to the house for dinner, and the night rain was so tired that he fell asleep at the dinner table.

After taking care of him and sleeping for a short time, someone came to the palace to give an order, and it was time to enter the palace for a banquet.

couldn't bear to quarrel with Ze'er, Ye Lixuan hugged him carefully, asked people to wrap him in a small blanket, and went out of the house and got into the carriage.

Seeing that Ye Lixuan was like this, Feng Tianyue thought of herself. Is he so gentle with her?

The palace banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year is the most grand, and several remote and small countries have prepared enough treasures a few months in advance to come to thank the emperor for his grace on this day.

These small countries are dependent on the big ones, and they only seek comfort, and they are not enough to suffer. If thousands of troops go to the crusade, there will be great losses, and the gains outweigh the losses. It is to allow these weak countries to survive to this day.

The Queen Mother, who has never liked to participate in banquets, will also take a ride today. The concubines in the palace will be all there, and there will be multiple opportunities to show their faces in front of the emperor.

It's rare to have a good start to the year, and you want to be brightly lit, singing and dancing. There are all kinds of delicacies on the case, which makes Ye Yuze happy, and he just wants to move his chopsticks early.

The emperor is often the last person to show his face at the banquet, and everyone bows to welcome the high platform. Take a seat and give wine, and then have a week.

After the ceremony, it is to save red tape, so that everyone who has worked hard all day can have a happy dinner.

Different from previous years, this year's banquet all small countries sent princesses to accompany them to the west night.

The dominance of the West Night is a foregone conclusion, so naturally we have to plan ahead and curry favor. The best way is undoubtedly to join relatives.

Xiao Zixian and Murong Xing's affairs have not yet been completed, and there are a number of more beautiful women who have come to the country, which has made the queen and Xiao Guifei feel depressed.

Although the queen is the mother of a country, she has no relatives and children under her knees. The eldest princess Ye Yunxuan married early, so she naturally had to make a good plan for herself.

And the six princes born by Xiao Guifei were sent out early to be the prince. It is not like the queen's stable status and dependence. can only help the women in the clan to ascend, but ask for the old to have something to rely on.

The two intrigued, but they couldn't understand the emperor's mind and delayed the matter.

It stands to reason that the emperor has always valued the three princes, and almost made him the crown prince, but now he has asked him to marry Princess Fengyang as the princess.

The queen must not be a woman from another country, let alone a princess. But the ancestor did not set the rules for the princess to ascend the throne.

I think that the queen and the imperial concubine were also a crown princess and a side concubine. Unexpectedly, the emperor made the crown princess the imperial concubine and the side concubine the queen.

Although the imperial concubine has a silver seal in her hand, after all, it is not as big as the queen's gold seal. was changed alive, and Concubine Huangde must be unwilling.

If the third prince ascends the throne, it is unknown whether the queen's life will be good. It is the queen's heart to the seven princes more.

But who can say for sure what the emperor thinks, the emperor has always belonged to the three princes, but he has attached great importance to the seven princes several times. The queen has no choice but to offend and take advantage of the situation.

Ye Lixuan was originally a person who kicked the sky, but he had to protect Yu Wanting, which went against the emperor's will and provoked the emperor to burn the holy decree. This incident naturally aroused the resentment of the imperial concubine, and the resentment was resolved because Yu Wanting was pregnant.

Although she is the daughter of a criminal minister, she has no rebellion, so she is naturally not as important as Jin Sun. Besides, the emperor is also looking forward to this first golden grandson, but he will not be held accountable.

Who knew that he was looking forward to it, but the emperor and grandson he was thinking about were a wild seed! The Imperial Concubine is a gathering of old enemies and new grudges, vowing to get rid of such a scourge as soon as possible.

That Yu Wanting is still a filial person, but she just repaired a letter saying that she would dig up her entire clan and cut out her heart and lungs and throw corpses into the wilderness. She was so angry that she died. This is probably the only thing she can do.

But where is Yu Wanting angry? Concubine Huangde responded that Yu Wanting's death was her doing, and the mother and son became strangers.

Ye Lixuan wanted to stay away from this court dispute, but Yu Wanting had something to entrust, so she had to fight for her.
