"Sixth brother, why did it take so long to go out to the toilet, I and the ministers thought you had fallen into the pit", Nan Yueming quipped, he saw Nan Yuexuan and Mu Xi pushing around from a long distance, he already knew that Nan Yuexuan was not going to the toilet. 『』

"The emperor is really joking, a person as big as his brother, even if he is drunk, he will not fall into the pit, and the younger brother will never fall into the gentle country of beauties", Nan Yuexuan said with a mischievous expression.

"I'm not your gentle township, the sixth brother's coquettishness should be left to the beauty", Nan Yueming glanced at Nan Yuexuan and shook his hand, "It's almost time, drive the Zichen Palace."

The ministers glanced at Nan Yuexuan, whispered and laughed, and also went to the Zichen Hall with the emperor.

Outside the palace, the sky is dazzling with colorful fireworks, and the streets and alleys are full of red colors. Fireworks are not allowed in the palace because the buildings are mostly made of wood, for fear of causing fires.

Outside the Zichen Palace, the sky lantern and the longevity lantern are installed, gradually the guests are full of friends, it is a very lively atmosphere, under the bright red light of the palace lamp, the people and things in the palace appear ruddy and festive.

This palace banquet is not the first time Mu Xi has been to Zichen Palace, but it is the last.

After the entire hall arrived, the emperor walked slowly from outside the hall, and Mu Xi, as the maid of the palace in front of the palace, naturally followed closely behind Nan Yueming.

Mu Xi followed the emperor to the highest dragon chair in the main hall, retreated behind the dragon chair, the queen mother and the queen sat on the lower side of the emperor, the queen sat on the lower side of the concubine, and the other concubines sat with the female relatives of the official eunuchs and nobles.

At this time, the main hall echoed with a loud sound of worship.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

This loud voice hit all corners of the hall, and Mu Xi felt that his eardrums were about to burst, and his brain was booming.

Not only the eardrums, even the eyes are going to be blind, at a glance, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, competing for beauty, this color is tired to look at, the clothes are also inlaid with all kinds of gems and pearls, one is brighter than the other, the crown of the pearl hairpin on the bun is shining, the light refracted by the jewelry, very dazzling, it is simply light pollution! Mu Xi squinted his eyes, he was far away, and he didn't know how His Highness's people had suffered.

After Nan Yueming said a flat sentence, the people standing next to the seats all took their seats, knelt on the blankets on the ground, and waited for the banquet to begin.

This time is the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, so they are all nobles who are related to the royal family, close to the immediate family of the uncle and prince, as far as the three aunts and six mothers-in-law who are ten generations away, this banquet is not attended by people from other countries.

One after another, he stepped forward to congratulate him.

Because she stood behind, the dragon chair blocked Mu Xi's entire short body, so Mu Xi could make small movements unscrupulously, which was not boring and stirring the corners of her clothes, breaking her nails, and from time to time putting it in her mouth to nibble.

Mu Xi didn't dare to be interested in this banquet at all, they were all Yanyan dances, just doing some piano skills and calligraphy and painting, which was even more boring than the Spring Festival Gala, and there was not even a funny sketch.

"Shhhh

Mu Xi still didn't react, all his attention was gnawing on his nails,

Seeing that a few words didn't work, the man directly pulled Mu Xi's sleeve.

Mu Xi reacted, pulled back his sleeve, and turned his head sideways.

"Grandpa Cao?" Mu Xi bent over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”。

Gonggong Cao beckoned, "Come with the old slave."

Mu Xi glanced at Nan Yueming, and saw that he was still seriously talking and laughing with His Royal Highness's ministers, so she still didn't bother, so she went directly with Gonggong Cao without saying hello.

Out of the Zichen Palace, I instantly felt that my eyes were much quieter, but the sound of firecrackers outside made Mu Xi's ears noisy.

"Grandpa Cao, where are we going?" , Mu Xi, who followed behind, walked quickly to the side of his father-in-law.

"When I arrived, Miss Muxi would know", and then Grandpa Cao didn't say a word.

Gonggong Cao took Mu Xi to a backyard, where rows of palace maids stood with trays in their hands, and in the tray were bright red clothes and gold and silver jewelry.

Mu Xi looked at Gonggong Cao puzzled.

"You all go into the house to change into Miss Muxi", Gonggong Cao waved his hand, and rows of palace maids entered the house one after another.

The father-in-law looked at Yun Muxi with a smile and said, "Miss Muxi, go in, it was the emperor who ordered the slave to change the girl's body clothes."

"Decent?" , Mu Xi inspected himself, "I'm a palace maid dressed very well like this, I don't need to change my clothes."

"Miss Muxi, don't embarrass the slave, the slave is on the emperor's order, the girl should cooperate."

Seeing Gonggong Cao's anxious look, Mu Xi didn't want to embarrass him, it was not easy to be a eunuch, and an insidious eunuch like Gonggong Cao disagreed even more, he was also a subordinate, so why bother.

"I promise", Mu Xi had to compromise, "But Grandpa Cao's wine should not wait outside the door, all the maids in the house will be withdrawn, and only the two who will help me make up will be fine."

"This is a small matter, the girl should hurry in and change her clothes, don't let the emperor wait for a long time", after that, Gonggong Cao took away a group of palace maids.

At this moment, Mu Xi sat on the dresser again, still 'slaughtering'.

Time passed quickly, half an hour passed, and Mu Xi was almost done, and she looked herself up and down under the bright light.

She was already very sure that this was no longer the palace maid's dress, but a red robe, and she wore red clothes for the second time, the first time was at the time of the wedding, and the second time was now.

When you look closely at this gorgeous dress, the gold thread is trimmed, every stitch is very delicate, the mediocre tail is on the ground, the green silk reaching the ground is only a red headband, and the remaining long hair on the temples is on the chest.

The ornaments on his head and clothes are all heavy, as if he is back to the time when he got married, and he can't wait to carry the gold on his back.

She must find Gonggong Cao and ask him clearly, and ask him if he is wrong, is it appropriate for a palace maid to dress like this? The more Mu Xi looked at herself, the more she looked like a noble lady.

After the costume was over, Mu Xi saw that Father-in-law Cao was not at the door, so she went for a walk by herself.

Along the way, Mu Xi saw a lot of rehearsal dancers, flexible bodies, all women in red, with long sleeves almost a few meters long, wearing thin, although it was already spring, but it was also extremely cold.

Seeing these dancers, an inexplicable strangeness arose, Mu Xi thought of the bronze of the owner of Zuixiang Building at the moment, and remembered that the last wedding between Nan Wufeng and Beiluochuan was also a singer and dancer transported from Zuixiang Building.

It's still a little embarrassing to see the bronze again, and I don't feel comfortable saying goodbye when I think back to being looked at by him twice.

"May I ask where you are all singers and dancers", Yun Muxi grabbed someone casually and asked.

"Auntie, we singers and dancers were sent back from drunken Xiangluo."

Drunken Xiang Building? Didn't Nan Yueming send troops to ambush Zuixiang Tower a few months ago, and used her as a bait to introduce officers and soldiers into Zuixiang Tower, but now this Nan Yueming wants to use Zuixiang Lou's things, aren't you afraid that they will make trouble at the banquet? I really don't know what Nan Yueming thinks.

"Your landlord is okay", Mu Xi hesitated for a while, but still asked, after all, she helped her and saved him many times, and she was also out of concern
