Chapter 410: The Scourge of Li Qi
According to the old system, each prince/clan/state relative/senator and important minister entered the court to worship before Chinese New Year's Eve according to the etiquette system, and on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor would set up a banquet in the main hall to feast the courtiers and wish the country prosperity and peace in the coming year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn Chinese New Year's Eve, the Empress Dowager and the Empress also hold a banquet in the harem to celebrate the New Year with the imperial relatives, which is regarded as a palace family banquet and is usually hosted by the Empress Dowager.
Queen Lin specially arranged for the concubines of the former emperor to participate, and handed over the list to Feng Luoli for review.
"Imperial sister-in-law!" Tuoba Yun has been living in the side hall of the Taihe Hall since he entered the court, and it has become his main duty to hang out with Feng Luoli every day, and occasionally he will submit a variety of lists to make a little of his own suggestions, Feng Luoli simply left it to Tuoba Yun to do, and Tuoba Yun did it while saying that Feng Luoli was the shopkeeper and let him, a "guest", be busy.
Feng Luoli took out a handkerchief and handed it to Tuoba Yun, "What are you doing, sweating on this cold day, beware of catching a cold!" ”
"I went to do a great good deed, and when the night banquet begins, the imperial sister-in-law will know how hard Yun'er is!" Tuoba Yun took the handkerchief and wiped his sweat while saying mysteriously.
"When the prince said this, even the slaves couldn't help but be curious!" Qingcao smiled lightly and handed over a bowl of ginger soup, "Winter sweat is easy to cool and hurt your body, so let's drink a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold!" ”
Tuoba Yun looked at the careful green calyx, fortunately Feng Luoli had such a caring person by his side over the years, he took the ginger soup and drank it, "When the time comes, the imperial sister-in-law will definitely like it!" As if he remembered something, he walked to Feng Luoli's side and said with a solemn expression: "Imperial sister-in-law, I want to invite Master to a banquet, do you think it's appropriate?" ”
Feng Luoli looked at Tuoba Yun, Murong Baiyao was not a prince or a national relative, although he had taught Tuoba Yun martial arts, but after all, it was a palace family banquet, after all, he still shook his head and said, "Forget it this time!" Another day, the mourning family will invite the two of you alone, okay? ”
Tuoba Yun knew Feng Luoli's concerns, if it was when the imperial brother was alive, these would not be difficult things, but now it is Tuoba Hong, after all, it is still a layer apart, and it is already visible to seal Li Hongzhi and chase Li Yao, so he nodded and said: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful to the imperial sister-in-law, let's get together alone, and be more comfortable." ”
"Brother to meet the imperial sister-in-law!"
While speaking, King Tuoba of Jingzhao pushed the pregnant princess Lu into the Taihe Hall to meet him. Feng Luoli hurriedly stepped forward to help the Lu family, "Hurry up, your own family doesn't need to be polite!" Saying that, he looked at Lu's stomach and smiled warmly, "Come on, come on, sit down." After all these walks, you are tired! As he walked, he asked warmly.
Tuoba Yun also came to Tuoba Zitui, "Third brother, Happy New Year!" ”
Tuoba Zitui stood up, "Yun'er, you came early!" ”
"Me! The main thing is that the imperial sister-in-law has delicious food here! Tuoba Yun joked, and then looked at Feng Luoli and Lu, "It seems that the third brother is going to be a father!" What do you think? When was my little nephew born? ”
Tuoba Zitui looked in the direction of the Lu clan and smiled faintly, "In the early summer of next year." ”
"Okay, good, when the time comes, I will definitely wrap a big red envelope for him!" Tuoba Yun is particularly interested in being an imperial uncle, especially the children of his third brother.
After a while, Feng Xi/Princess Boling arrived with her son Feng Dan and Princess Mingxia, and said hello to Feng Luoli, Tuoba Yun/Tuoba Zitui and Feng Xi took the children to play outside the palace, leaving Feng Luoli and the three of them to talk about some common things.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the astronomical hall was warm, the palace people placed the delicacies and wines in an orderly manner, and the people who participated in the palace banquet also arrived one after another, greeting each other softly, waiting for the banquet to begin. In the Taihe Palace, Tuoba Hong and Empress Lin were waiting for Feng Luoli, who had not returned, to pray for the blessing of the Baohua Palace.
"Xuanzhen, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I want to take you to the palace family banquet, okay?" Feng Luoli squatted in front of Xuan Zhen, who was dressed in plain clothes, and whispered.
Xuan Zhen looked at Feng Luoli with some evasive eyes, dodging uncertainly, since Feng Luoli took Xuan Zhen to Baohua Hall to pray for blessings, Xuan Zhen was reluctant to leave here, only wearing the most plain silk clothes every day, not applying powder, not wearing hairpin rings and only quietly staying in Baohua Hall to add incense, copying scriptures, although still delirious, but much calmer. After Xuanzhen disappeared, Tuoba Mingzhu stayed by Feng Luoli's side, and after finding Xuanzhen, Feng Luoli often asked Tuoba Mingzhu to accompany Xuanzhen, so that their mother and daughter could be alone, hoping to restore Xuanzhen's consciousness.
At the palace family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, Feng Luoli didn't want Xuanzhen and Tuoba Mingzhu to be absent, so he personally came over to take her over.
"Mother, will you accompany Mingzhu and the queen mother? Uncle Yunhuang has been busy these days, and said that he has prepared a surprise for us, Mingzhu really wants to be with his mother. Tuoba Mingzhu pulled Xuanzhen's sleeve and begged in a childish voice, "Mother, will you accompany us?" ”
Xuan Zhen looked at the pink Tuoba Pearl, the corners of her lips slowly curved an arc, and nodded slightly.
"The Queen Mother! Mother, she agreed! Mingzhu held Xuanzhen with one hand, looked up at Feng Luoli and said happily, and held Feng Luoli with the other hand, "Queen Mother, let's go!" ”
Feng Luoli smiled, and the group walked in the direction of the Taihe Palace.
Seeing Xuanzhen, Tuoba Hong was still a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, only respectfully saluted Feng Luoli, "Queen Mother, we should go!" ”
Feng Luoli nodded, obviously feeling that Xuanzhen's body beside him began to tremble, turned his head and smiled at her, reached out to pat the back of her hand, and followed Tuoba Hong towards the Astronomical Palace.
"The ministers will meet the emperor and the queen mother!"
"Flat! This is a family feast, and there is no need for so much courtesy! Feng Luoli asked all the people attending the banquet to flatten themselves, and swept around with a light smile, "Sit down!" The New Year is approaching, let's also keep a new year together, and the coming year will be safe and healthy/disease-free and pain-free! ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The crowd took their seats one by one.
"Aren't all the people together? How can you still have two seats free? Feng Luoli noticed the two seats at the end and couldn't help asking.
Tuoba Hong looked at Feng Luoli, and then said to the eunuchs beside him, "Let them in!" ”
"Xuan Wan Shizi, Jijun Gong Hajk!"
Wan Anguo and Li Hongzhi walked into the main hall together, leaned over and bowed to Tuoba Hong and Feng Luoli for the national salute: "Knock to see the emperor/queen mother!" Long live the emperor, the queen mother Jin'an! ”
The expression on Feng Luoli's face was faint, he didn't speak, he didn't seem to care, and he seemed to be waiting for something.
"Queen Mother, today is a family banquet in the palace, and I have invited An Guo and Li Hongzhi to ......" (To be continued.) )
