The eighteenth day of the first month

On a very ordinary day, Mu He gave birth to the first daughter of the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion.

……

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

February 2, Royal Family Feast.

Probably on the master's birthday, Du Xiaoxi left a good impression on the emperor, and this time the emperor of the royal family banquet actually asked Du Xiaoxi to follow.

Du Xiaoximei, who was dressed in a new style, followed to the palace in a carriage.

This is the third time Du Xiaoxi has been to the palace, and he has long since lost the excitement when he entered this legendary place for the first time. Senior Brother Shang Qing has the qualifications to take the car, and Du Xiaoxi also follows the light without having to walk for a few hours.

The huge palace banquet was held in the Quanfu Palace, and there were many people walking slowly on both sides of the palace road along the way, and Du Xiaoxi even saw a lot of white-haired old people being helped to walk slowly from the wind-blown curtains.

There are too many members of the royal family, and not all of them have the envy of the prince like King An and Lord Minglan. More people are fighting for a chance to strengthen their families before the five generations are demoted to commoners, gain the emperor's appreciation, and their children marry with major families to participate in the most tragic battle for the throne. In short, no matter what, it can't become a dilapidated household in the imperial city that can't eat enough and sells their children to the merchant family with the name of the clan.

Such people are still good, after all, they still have the opportunity to cling to the nobles, and those royal families who are about to become commoners are even more pathetic.

They are about to decline, and they have lost the value of marriage, so these people in the family can only seize every opportunity more.

Just like those old people who are hobbling around, they can not participate in this palace banquet at their age, but if they don't come, their descendants without titles can't come. If there is one person in the family who is favored by the prince, the prince or even the emperor at this palace banquet, they will not come in vain if they go desperately.

Such a life, such a mentality, Du Xiaoxi doesn't know and doesn't understand at this moment.

The carriage whirled around and soon stopped outside the gate of Quanfu Palace.

Shang Qing got out of the car with his usual cold face, and Du Xiaoxi was supported by the jade sleeves and followed behind.

"Master will come today as well. Follow Master closely and don't run around. After Shang Qing finished speaking, he followed the little eunuch and stepped into the palace gate.

Du Xiaoxi responded in surprise, and happily followed the little palace maid who was waiting next to her to find the master.

The family banquet is not without people outside the royal family, of course, as the highest level of the banquet of the great merchants, the people who can attend are either high-ranking or favored.

Master Xile mixed well in Beijing, there are dozens of meters away from the main seat, and not far from the right front is the stage for the performance. It is a good position to watch the emperor and watch the performance. When Du Xiaoxi arrived, the master had not yet come, so he sat at the deputy in the seat and waited for the master to come.

There are more and more people in the venue, and according to the law that important people are the last to appear, a certain prince, a certain king have already appeared, and a few snow-white beards have also been seated in the seats in front of the master. An old monk with a bright head. Du Xiaoxi sat alone in a group of old monks and a little anxious in the center of the little monks, what kind of trouble is this?

"Du Niangzi, Master Xile is unwell and can't come today, please follow the slave to the seat of the female dependent." A palace maid bowed down and stood beside Du Xiaoxi and whispered.

Du Xiaoxi was shocked, the old monk eats and drinks well, chops wood and carries water, how can he say that he is sick?

"What's wrong with my master? Is it strict? Is it still in the temple? Du Xiaoxi stood up violently and asked anxiously.

The little palace maid shook her head, "The slave maid doesn't know, it was the guard at the palace gate who reported to the palace aunt, and the aunt asked the slave maid to come over and invite Du Niangzi to sit on the woman's side." Saying that, the little palace maid made a welcoming gesture and motioned for Du Xiaoxi to go with her.

Du Xiaoxi obediently stood up and kept up with the pace of the little palace maid, and still asked, "Can I leave the palace now?" "If it's a minor illness like a cold or cough. Master will talk to her about whatever he says. When the palace banquet suddenly didn't come, something must have happened.

"This slave is not very clear, the palace door is locked, and he should not leave the palace until the banquet is over. The slave maid waited and asked the aunt of the palace. ”

"Thank you, young lady, then."

After the little palace maid took Du Xiaoxi and Yu Sleeve to the banquet, she walked for a while and stopped in another place. There are obviously fewer men here, more young and beautiful little ladies.

"Please sit down, and the slave will retire."

After the little palace maid left, Jade Sleeve also stepped back and stood in the last row, looking at Du Xiaoxi from afar.

Du Xiaoxi looked around, and now his position is farther away from the main seat than just now, the key is not the position of the first row, there are people in front and behind, left and right. Looking at the people around her who were secretly looking at her, Du Xiaoxi sighed. I hope I can go out of the palace to see Master later.

Soon the little palace maid came again, informing Du Xiaoxi that she could not leave, and that because she was the person specially mentioned by the emperor, she might be summoned, and at the same time reassured her that the Nine Emperor Princes had already sent someone to Xishan.

Du Xiaoxi thanked him. A man sat with a bitter face.

Ay! If you don't know anyone, let's end it quickly!

When Du Xiaoxi was resentful, she didn't know that the eyes of the people around her had changed.

Master Xile's original seat was excellent, and Du Xiaoxi's little lady naturally couldn't occupy such a good position, so she needed to rearrange Du Xiaoxi's position. Too noble a position is not qualified, and finally a table was added in this not too remote place.

When the little ladies and ladies around saw Du Xiaoxi coming alone, they were examining what her identity was. Although they haven't seen Du Xiaoxi in the circle, they may have people add a special table, and being able to monopolize a table by one person already shows that she is not an ordinary person. Waiting for the little palace maid to mention the person specially mentioned by His Majesty the Emperor, he still has a relationship with the Nine Emperor Princes, and the few families that are close to him are already ready to move.

Du Xiaoxi's position is just some people from the royal clan who are not very prosperous, although the older generation in their family has titles, and their fathers are also officials in the court, but because the titles and official positions are not high, they cannot enter the real top nobles. Listening to the words of the little palace maid, I felt that Du Xiaoxi was quite big, so I wanted to make friends with Du Xiaoxi.

"This sister is so well-behaved and cute, my sister is Shang Yingying in the palace of Chengkang County, the king of Chengkang County is my grandfather, I don't know where my sister is?" The girl sitting on Du Xiaoxi's left side smiled and leaned over and asked.

Du Xiaoxi turned sideways and replied with a smile, "My home is in Shanshui County, Qingzhou Prefecture, and I came with Master this time." ”

Shang Yingying nodded, "I don't know who the Venerable Master is?" ”

"Master of Kirakuji Him."

Du Xiaoxi has always known that she is not a delicate person, and in the face of this kind of situation where she clearly has a face that no one can enter, and others still post it to speak, Du Xiaoxi doesn't know how to refuse. Thinking of going to the uncle of the Liu family to meet her in the New Year, the uncle of the Liu family caught her for most of the day and said that Liu Yao would take a career in the future, and she should befriend the powerful as a wife and not offend people.

Du Xiaoxi thought sullenly, just the kindness of the little rabbit of the Liu family, the gentle temper of any dog that can bite a mouthful of hair, if he really wants to enter the officialdom, he can't even leave the bones and slag, and he doesn't know how the Liu family thinks that Liu Yao is the life of an official.

Spit and complain, Du Xiaoxi still adheres to the principle of not offending people if he can.

Shang Yingying was very enthusiastic about Du Xiaoxi's good luck, but seeing that Du Xiaoxi was not very interested, and then heard Du Xiaoxi say that she would return to Qingzhou in a few days, she smiled and said a few words to Du Xiaoxi, then sat up straight and laughed with the little lady at the same table.

The big men who spoke arrived one by one, and then a male voice who was incomprehensible sang: "Long live!" ”

All the people knelt down to greet each other and shouted long live.

Du Xiaoxi knelt on the cold stone bricks and followed the crowd to greet the emperor, the queen mother, the queen, and the prince, but in a few minutes, his knees were already pierced cold, and at this moment Du Xiaoxi missed 'kneeling easily'.

Emperor Jiayuan said that he hoped that the country and the people would be safe and prosperous. While praying for the blessings of the world, the prince did not forget to wish his father a long life, peace and health. Then the Queen Mother and the Empress said some official speeches of the harem. The royal opening remarks are over.

Then the emperor began to praise the outstanding workers of the year by name, and various performances on the stage also came on the stage, Du Xiaoxi's position was just right to see the stage from the side, and he looked with relish.

"Wow!" Du Xiaoxi couldn't help but exclaim.

What did she see? Wind and Fire Meteor Hammer!

I actually saw the Wind and Fire Meteor Hammer at the palace banquet! What a surprise!

The meteor hammer in front of you is big and small, long and short, dozens of people rotate and move, flexibly posing with flying fireballs in various patterns, there is a different kind of beauty and amazing.

Du Xiaoxi proudly watched the performance on stage with her small breasts, even if she was the only one here, she was proud of her brothers at home!

After drinking for a long time, after all kinds of passionate performances, there were several big plays that the old ladies liked, and Du Xiaoxi finally got through it with a guess.

"Du Niangzi, the Queen Mother is setting up the Fushou Palace, and the Lord of Minglan asks you to move."

Under the envious gaze of the crowd, Du Xiaoxi got up and walked towards the slowly moving crowd in the distance.

The queen mother and the queen have already left first by Fengyu, and the ladies who need to go to Fushou Palace are walking towards Fushou Palace under the leadership of the princess led by the crown princess.

The palace maid who invited Du Xiaoxi to come over left and went back to her post when she saw Du Xiaoxi arrive, looking at the obviously respectful and orderly team in front, Du Xiaoxi walked slowly behind the crowd with jade sleeves.

At the front of the team, the crown princess Liu and the county lord of Minglan walked together, because the leg injury of the county lord of Minglan would affect the sight if she followed the crowd, so every time the princesses would be humble and let the county lord of Minglan walk in front, and this time it was the same.

Even if most of the people present are children, they are still as beautiful as jade, full of laughter.

The crown princess Liu is bowing her head and talking to Shang Minglan, for the hearts of King An and the princess of Minglan, even the crown princess has to be enthusiastic.

Liu asked with a smile, and when he looked up at the road, his eyes suddenly widened, and he screamed.
