25 The feast in the palace

On the second day, when the sky was about to turn white, Yuan Yi resigned to the west side of Cining Palace with Gu who was still sleeping with a hairball, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor were already waiting for them to have breakfast, but they didn't expect to come as a sleeping beauty.

The emperor reluctantly took her and put her on the couch, but there was no sign of waking up.

"What time does she usually get up?"

"When I fell asleep, I couldn't wake up." Yuan Yi put his fist to his lips and smiled.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Children should sleep more to grow up well." Don't quarrel with her, you two will go to work after eating, and the mourning family will accompany her for a while. Drove the two of them to the east side, and she and Gu Ci nested on the couch together to recuperate.

As soon as the hour came, Hu's mother and Gan Tang were busy with warm towels and honey water, and finally made Mao Tuanzi sober.

Gu Ci was still sleepy in the arms of the Queen Mother, and let the Yao female officials feed and drink, well-behaved and obedient like a toy, and the Queen Mother was so rare that she forgot to move her chopsticks.

After the grandparents finished breakfast, the outside reported that the harem army had come to brush up.

In fact, the emperor's harem is not huge, far away from the three thousand beauties, the nine concubines under the four concubines are only four people, the childless Chen Shurong is the sister of Chen Shufei, the mother of King Xichuan Lou Shuyuan, the mother of the eighth prince Yuan Hui Feng Zhaorong and the mother of the sixth princess Tang Xiuhua, and then Liang Cai gave birth to seven princesses, Yucai gave birth to eight princesses, and there is a newly promoted Qiu Cairen who is currently with a big belly.

A group of beauties entered the door, and with a few children about the same age as Gu Ci, Cining Palace became lively all of a sudden.

The Queen Mother hugged Gu Ci and accepted their salutes, which was the first time that Gu Ci was worshiped by so many beauties.

Gu Ci once again praised the wise and martial Taizong, he is definitely a female controller!

Taizong felt that it was unreasonable for other people's daughters to rely on my son to enjoy glory and wealth, and in the end my daughter had to be a head lower than them, among the aunts and sisters-in-law of ordinary people, the sister-in-law had the upper hand, and the palace should be the same, so the princess was second only to the queen, the eldest princess was on the same level as the queen, and the eldest princess was more noble than the queen. Moreover, he also wrote the tacit matter that the concubines of all dynasties and dynasties could not take concubines into the law, and without the permission of the princess, it was a crime to take concubines.

Before Gu Ci was born, there was a concubine who did not take a concubine, but raised a foreign house, the princess came to the door with a sword and directly killed a pair of wild mandarin ducks, and finally the horse family was exiled, and the princess turned around and recruited a new horse.

With the etiquette of Princess Gu Ciyan, only when Queen Xiao is alive can she get a gift, let alone a concubine, even ordinary princesses are not qualified to receive her gifts.

Concubine Du Xian, who started at the beginning, volunteered to introduce Gu Ci to the person, and also sent her to play with the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Emperor, the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess.

Gu Ci was very distressed, although these four people were only one year older than her, they really didn't have a common language.

The eighth prince Xu is because Feng Zhaorong's status is low, and he is just a palace maid selected into the palace by a peasant family, so he is very quiet and old-fashioned, and he is the farthest away from her, and he is in a daze from time to time. The seventh princess had a round face and beautiful eyebrows, a ball of childishness, staring at the snacks on the table. The eighth princess looks like her biological mother, beautiful and cute, her body is weaker, a picture of 'Sister Lin' like a smoky eyebrow and a sad tear first, dressed much better than the seventh princess, and seems to be quite favored, but she ignores Gu Ci a little, glances at her clothes and jewelry from time to time, and looks at her with an aggrieved face from time to time. The Nine Emperors are also the appearance of Xiao Zhengtai with red lips and white teeth, but his personality is a complete disaster, and he is simply a model of 'seven or eight-year-old cats and dogs'.

As soon as Gu Ci looked at the Eighth Prince, the bear child turned around and smeared a snack or stepped on the Eighth Prince, causing Gu Ci to feel guilty, and the Seventh Princess wanted to talk to Gu Ci, but he stopped in the middle. He himself kept chattering at Gu Ci, seeing that Gu Ci ignored him, and dared to pull her sleeve.

This kind of talk is unbearable for the bear child, the uncle is unbearable, and the sister-in-law is unbearable! Gu Ci ran back to the Queen Mother angrily, secretly thinking that he would sue Yuan Yi in a while!

Without waiting for Gu Ci to think of the words of the complaint, Chief Manager Mu came to pick her up, and with the envious and jealous eyes of the women of the first palace, she sat on the royal chariot and went to Chongxi Palace.

***********************

Manager Mu sent her to the front hall of Chongxi Palace, Yuyi and Gu Yao with their four sons had already sat down, and Gu Ci pounced on her for a long time.

This time it was a family banquet, and there was no clear distinction between the left and right columns like a palace banquet, but a round table was placed in a fan-shaped distribution.

The top is naturally the emperor's golden dragon banquet table and the queen mother's nine phoenix banquet table, one left and one right, and the lower rows of round tables of the same size are arranged in an arc.

There are seven tables in the first row, the first table from the left is the closest to the Empress Dowager and the emperor, and the other six tables are half a foot behind the staggered, from left to right are the emperor's eldest brother Hengshan County King, the twelfth brother Huainan County King, the seventeenth brother Hejian County King, the twenty-first brother Runan County King, the eldest princess Chunyi and the eldest princess Zhenyi.

The second row is a palace concubine, one table for four concubines, one table for four concubines, and one table for talents.

In the middle of the third row, the first table on the left is half a foot in front, thinking that it is Yuan Yi's position, and then on the left are the three princes, and on the right are the two princes, arranged by age.

Finally, in the fourth row were the princesses and the horses, including the two younger princesses, who shared their own tables.

At this meeting, several county kings have already taken their families to the seat, Yuyi went to the table with Gu Qi to visit, received a bunch of praise and meeting gifts, and when the other two eldest princesses arrived, Chunyi didn't say much, and Zhenyi rubbed the oil wildly. After seeing the people in the first row, Yuyi sat still, waiting for several princes and princesses to come and greet her.

At the banquet in the palace, it is impossible for the children to have a seat, which is too meaningful for the control of the number of people attending the banquet, and it is really rare for five children like Yuyi to be born to themselves. Gu Ci happily found that there were the most people at this table in her house!

There are a lot of children of the King of Zhongshan, but the eldest daughter Yuan Jin and the four-year-old Qilang Yuan Duo are born, and the princess Bi did not come to report her illness today. Yuan Jin is three years older than Gu Ci, and he has no title, and his eyes are slightly unhappy when he salutes Gu Ci. Yuyi gave a meeting gift on behalf of Gu.

Gu Ci himself also felt very unhappy, it was very devastating to be called 'aunt' by a little girl who was three years older! For the first time in so many years, I felt the malice of the god of crossing.,This will make the older young woman no longer able to sell cute.,You know!!

King Guangen has a three-year-old concubine, Yuan Key, and the princess Bai is currently with a big belly, and it is said that there are several concubines, but there is no son, and I don't know if Princess Bai will be able to break the ice next year.

King Xi Chuan and Princess Cai have a very good relationship, and they took a two-year-old boy by the hand and entered the door together, this is their sister-in-law Yuan Ming, and there are no other concubines and children in the house.

King Guangsi and his wife have no children yet, but there are already many concubines and concubines, and it seems that the rumors that he and Princess Wang respect each other like ice are very credible.

The eldest princess is named Fengyang, and she has a daughter who is less than one year old and did not bring it. Gu Ci carefully observed the second sister's future concubine, thinking that he would talk to her when he had the opportunity to go back. The wedding date of the three sisters in the second room is all in the spring and summer of this year.

The second princess Dongyang and his wife sat with the eldest princess Chunyi, and there was no separate seat.

The third princess Ningyang is married to the youngest son of Concubine Chen Shufei's brother, and she is very husband and wife, and she has no children at present. Concubine Chen Shu also gave birth to two sons, the second prince and the fifth prince, but the brothers died of a sudden illness in the year Gu Ci was born, and she only had one child left.

The four princesses and the concubine have not yet arrived, but it does not affect Gu Ci's secret, on the one hand, because the four princesses who are eyeing their twin brothers finally couldn't wait, just last year, Concubine Liang Liang forced her father Xiuning Hou Liang Hou to catch her son-in-law under the list, and she had to marry the twenty-nine-year-old Tanhua Peng Qigong, and the other is her title Gao Yang, which makes people guess whether there is a bad taste alluded to.

The fifth princess Danyang and the sixth princess Anyang are the same age as the fourth princess, but thanks to Gao Yang's marriage, they were able to leave the cabinet in the same year. Danyang married Yin Wenqi, the eunuch of the country, his father was the political envoy of Chujing Mansion, and Anyang married Meng Lang, the second son of Meng Jianzheng, the eunuch of Qintian. Both colts seem to be honest people.

Whether it is a princess or a county lord, they are generally only awarded titles before they get married, and it is rare for someone like Gu Ci to be awarded a title soon after birth, and it is not to blame Yuan Jin for being angry. It's just that Yuyi, who is a mother, doesn't feel anything about this, and the eldest princess said that something like a title that has been born needs to be cared about.

After a while, Yuan Yi came with a few young princes and princesses, and the concubines and concubines also took their seats, seeing that they were going to play music to welcome the queen mother and the emperor to the table, Gao Yang and Peng Yuma hurriedly entered the door and bowed directly.

After the two bosses sat down, Manager Mu placed a set of small stools in front of the two of them.

Gu Ci chuckled in his heart.

Sure enough, Manager Mu turned his head and asked Yuyi for someone. Yuyi pursed her lips helplessly, and let her go to accept everyone's review of her dining etiquette......

***********************

In the process of chewing, foodies can always have no distractions.

Under the scorching gaze of the heavenly nobles like a searchlight, Gu Ci's appetite was as unaffected as ever.

But the family banquet is indeed much more lively than the palace banquet, as soon as the four cold dishes are over, the king of Hengshan County blew the horn to toast the queen mother and the emperor. Although few people really dare to persuade wine, after saluting the emperor, the following fight with each other is the main event.

I don't know if it's because Gu Ci's position is too eye-catching, Gu Yao and the twins are the targets of everyone's wine, and before the eight hot dishes are served, there are two bottles of wine on the table.

Gu Ci hurriedly whispered to the Queen Mother, sent yogurt to the drinker, and asked him to bring a message to his father who was not good at drinking, asking him to take it easy, and he must eat some hot food after drinking yogurt before drinking, and he also disliked the hangover soup boiled in the kitchen smelling unpleasant, and asked to prepare honey and pear juice for a few old and young masters in their family.

The emperor saw that she was busy, and remembered that when Yuyi entered the palace alone all these years, she always complained with disgust that she was a 'little housekeeper', which was really appropriate, so he smiled and quipped, "This is really a bit of a head of the house." ”

Concubine Du Xian happened to bring her three children to toast together, and when she heard this, she hurriedly blamed herself: "It's all because the concubines didn't think about it enough." Ah Luan still wants to eat for a while, but he must tell his concubine. ”

Gu Ci suddenly felt that he had been stamped with a label of 'Yue Yi Dai' on his head, his little face was red, and he didn't know what to say.

"There's no need to trouble you, Yao Xiang, let Yao Huang follow Ah Luan and give us a little steward Gu a hand." The Queen Mother spoke, Yao Xiang was the Yao female official, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old big-eyed beautiful palace maid behind her immediately stepped forward to greet Gu Ci.

"Haha, then I also want to be stained, Lao Mu, you send someone over to help run errands, so as not to lose a bowl of mine."

Mu Wanqing smiled and motioned for a small chamberlain in the corner to come up, the one Gu Ci had seen before.

“…… No, no......"

The Queen Mother said very calmly, "Just treat Cining Palace as your sound homeless, practice first, and toss as you like." ”

“…… It's not good......" Gu Ci felt too hateful, and looked around uneasily.

"Who is Ah Luan looking for?" The Emperor asked for a moment.

“…… Find Daddy. ”

"Isn't my word more effective than your father's?"

“…… I was flattered and asked Yaye to press ......"

The Queen Mother and the Emperor laughed at the same time, and had a drink with Concubine Du Xian and others, who were still smiling gracefully, and sent away, and announced that Yuyi's family came over to chat.

The emperor smiled kindly, and opened his mouth like a bomb, "I want to leave Ah Luan for a while." ”

The Queen Mother immediately echoed happily, "This is good, Ah Luan Ke has to take care of the small kitchen of Cining Palace." He turned his head and said to Lady Yao, "You will send someone to pack up the things that Ah Luan is used to on weekdays and send them in." ”

Yuyi was speechless about the two of them snatching their daughter, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, let Ah Luan go back with us to visit relatives first, and then send them in to accompany you to the court meeting before the Shangyuan Festival?" ”

Gu Yao also said that if Gu Ci was not allowed to follow him to pay New Year's greetings, Duke Wei and Duke Dingguo would never let him enter the door.

The Queen Mother reluctantly agreed.
