On the third day of the twelfth month, the time had just entered the lunar month, and there was another heavy snow in the imperial capital, and Nie Fenghua took a carriage out of the door early in the morning and went to the East Palace.

The snow drifted very much, and it was already very thick in a moment, but fortunately, the Hou Mansion was not far from the palace, and before the snow was too thick, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

There were several carriages parked at the door, all of which were from the major royal palaces.

The prince's birthday, naturally, does not mean that he can be simple if he wants to.

Even those princesses who have already married have come into the palace with their horses, and every year the prince's birthday is such a big battle.

Nie Fenghua turned his head to look at Jin'er: "You go back first, don't accompany me." ”

"Miss, it's better to let the slave wait for you outside the palace, I always feel a little uneasy."

Nie Fenghua laughed: "It's not the first time I've entered the palace, what is there to worry about, don't worry, there are flowers in it, don't be afraid." ”

Jin'er nodded: "Then the slave will go back first." ”

"Hmm!" Nie Fenghua nodded, and saw that the carriage from the Duanwang Mansion over there had also arrived at the gate of the palace, and it was changing into the palanquin of the palace.

From a distance, he glanced at Nie Fenghua and smiled at her.

Nie Fenghua also replied with a smile, which could be regarded as a greeting.

Followed everyone into the palace in a sedan chair, the east palace was already crowded, bustling, each of them was splendid in gorgeous costumes, which made people dazzled.

Nie Fenghua took a deep breath, this scene was also common in her previous life, and she didn't feel uncomfortable, and she was not a person who didn't eat fireworks in the world, but the people here seemed to be wearing masks, and it was really tiring to get along with them for a few hours.

Nie Fenghua sighed, and the voice of the eunuch came from outside: "The queen mother has arrived, and the prince has arrived!" ”

On the prince's birthday, it is natural for the queen to be present as a biological mother.

Nie Fenghua pursed his lips, and after a while, he saw the crown prince and Queen Dou walking in, both of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, which showed that they attached great importance to this banquet.

Everyone knelt down and saluted: "The queen mother is a thousand years old, and His Royal Highness the crown prince is a thousand years old!" ”

"It's all your own family, you're welcome, let's sit flat." The queen smiled and waved her hand at everyone, and slowly walked to the upper seat with the prince.

Then everyone thanked them and took their seats.

Because most of the people invited this time were royal relatives, and they did not invite foreign ministers, they all sat on the ground with one desk per person, and everyone was served the same wine and food by the palace maid.

As soon as the prince sat down, the queen looked at the mountains of congratulatory gifts next to him and said with a smile: "Everyone bothered, today is the prince's birthday banquet, but the emperor has always respected frugality, so today I invited our royal relatives to gather, and the wine and food are also casual, this gift, please bring it back." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that the prince would not accept gifts this year, and they still wanted to break their heads and prepare for several days, which was really in vain.

Nie Fenghua just smiled, looked at the stunned ministers, lifted his veil and took a sip of wine.

The crown prince and the queen seemed to be in a good mood, and the princes and princesses frequently raised their glasses and drank freely, and it was rare that Princess Linping, who was waiting to be married in Bixiao Palace and had not been out for a long time, also appeared.

This may be the last time she will attend such a party before she gets married, because after the New Year, when she turns fifteen, she will be married, and she should appear with Martin Shilang in the future.
