Chapter 320: The First Palace Banquet
Inside the Taihe Palace
The fine white jade paved ground shines with a warm light, the carved beams and jade pillars set off the magnificence and majesty of the palace, the doors and windows carved from sandalwood are yellow and luxurious, and the two straight pillars at the entrance are carved with lifelike dragon patterns, which are far away from the dragon chair on the palace......
The emperor sat on the dragon chair above the main hall, and said nothing about the majesty that shocked everything. Virtuous concubine, Qin Mengdie led Xiaoxiao to the center of the hall, knelt down to greet the emperor for the New Year: "I wish the emperor (father, grandfather) a healthy body, everything goes well, and I wish the Great Qianguo will always be prosperous and prosperous." ”
The emperor smiled and raised his hand: "Hurry up and sit down, you are the latest to come today." ”
Concubine Xian and Qin Mengdie smiled and greeted the many concubines around them and sat down.
Especially when Yanyang saw Qin Mengdie, she kept gesturing with her hands, presumably there were a lot of things to say, Qin Mengdie also gestured back, and the two smiled intimately.
At this time, the father-in-law at the door came in and reported: "Report to the emperor, King Xiang has arrived." ”
At this time, Feng Yuye walked in from outside the door, walked straight to the middle of the main hall, and knelt down in his robe: "New Year's greetings to the emperor, I wish the emperor a healthy body, and I wish the great Qianguo prosperity." ”
Seeing that the rainy night came, Qin Mengdie couldn't help but glance at it a few times from the corner of his eyes, King Xiang was still wearing a black robe today, but the perimeter of the robe was red and rolled up, which looked noble but dignified, and he was already handsome, and today people couldn't help but take a few more looks.
The emperor smiled and said: "Feng Qing's family is calm down, go to the fifth child and sit there, I know that you have a good relationship."
Feng Yuye got up and thanked the emperor, and when he was by Mo Wenyuan's side, the two made eye contact. Immediately, Feng Yuye also looked around at Qin Mengdie's location, but the two didn't make much eye contact.
The emperor looked very good today, and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained at today's family banquet, the queen and all the concubines are casual." ”
"Emperor Xie" and the others all stood up and thanked him.
The emperor motioned with his hand to sit down: "Everyone is calm and casual, and it is lively to move around." ”
At this time, the musicians in the palace played their instruments, and several dance techniques began to dance in the center of the main hall.
All the concubines, princesses, and princesses around them began to get up and toast each other, and each gathered around the person with whom he had a good relationship.
The ass of the sunny sun has long since left the chair. Hurriedly squeezed to Qin Mengdie's side: "Sister Huang." You haven't been in the palace all this time, what are you busy with? ”
Qin Mengdie didn't want to say anything serious in this public place: "What can I be busy with, it's the New Year." I prepared some gifts for everyone, and it took some thought. ”
Hearing Qin Mengdie say the gift, Yanyang's interest was extremely high: "What gift?" Is there any mine? When will you take it out? ”
Qin Mengdie was thinking about the bright sun, and Mo Wenyuan on the side also opened his mouth: "The imperial sister has something good to open our eyes again?" ”
At this time, the surrounding sounds also became quieter. The emperor also heard Mo Wenyuan's words and asked, "Long thought, what a good thing." If you don't take it out earlier, you have to wait for me to speak first, you kid is learning to be naughty with Yanyang. ”
Yanyang looked at the emperor angrily: "Father will squeeze me." ”
The emperor laughed, and the surroundings also laughed. There are those who are sincere, and those who want to echo the emperor, anyway, they will be happy when the time comes.
Even if the hearts of the people in the harem are taken out of the stomach, they may not be able to see clearly. The surface is harmonious, and the singing and dancing are leveling. It's a scene of family reunion, but who doesn't know what it actually is, this play is sung to others and to himself.
Qin Mengdie stepped forward and bowed slightly again: "Back to my father, my son did bring a gift, and I thought that the banquet would end before taking it out." ”
"Changsi's things must be good, let's take them out now, so that everyone can open their eyes, I am also a little curious." The emperor said with a smile.
Qin Mengdie sent someone to bring in the mahjong he brought, as well as a compass, and a stack of recipes.
Of course, the gift had to be taken out to the emperor first, Qin Mengdie opened the gift box: "Father, this is a compass, which uses the gravitational pull of the magnet, no matter what direction this pointer stands in, it will automatically turn to the south." ”
Changed to bypass the table, walked down the steps, came to Qin Mengdie, took the compass and looked up and down, left and right, and then praised after turning around: "Good thing, it's really good, what a good weapon this is if it is used on the battlefield, great!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around again to confirm, and only stopped until he was satisfied, and then Mo Wenyuan and several princes also came over.
Mo Wencang is the eldest prince, and now there is no prince, so naturally he opened his mouth first: "Father, let the sons and ministers open their eyes." ”
The emperor was happy today, and besides, he was not afraid of breaking it if he was guarding someone who could make this thing, so he handed the compass to Mo Wencang: "You should be careful, Changsi's head is really better than you boys, this thing is really unique." ”
Mo Wencang's brothers are always very close on this occasion, didn't they just gather at a table to drink and talk, and now they are also kind and look at the compass, and they really can't see it at all.
Everyone here looked at the compass, and the queen over there also spoke: "I heard that Princess Changsi has also prepared a gift for us, and this palace can't wait." ”
Qin Mengdie asked people to take out the mahjong and distribute it to each concubine, and then took out a pair of open boxes separately and said: "This is called mahjong, it is a kind of leisure and entertainment thing, it is not difficult to play, but it will take some time to play well, and it takes four people to sit together in the four directions of the square table." ”
When the emperor heard this, he hurriedly ordered his father-in-law beside him: "Go, prepare a square table." ”
Soon, several palace maids carried square tables and chairs and placed them in the lobby, Qin Mengdie looked at it and asked the emperor to say, "Father, who is playing with me?" ”
The emperor looked around: "Queen, Concubine Shu, Concubine De learns from Mengdie, and if you learn it, you can give it to others." ”
The three of them sat down in response, Qin Mengdie began to teach everyone to play mahjong, and the onlookers were also three layers inside and three layers outside, and the meal was much easier than before.
Originally, mahjong was not difficult, and it was taught after a while, and the concubines around here were also interested, and moved the wine and food to the side, and they all started to play mahjong.
The emperor watched it for a while, and he also participated in the mahjong game with great interest, and the palace maids and eunuchs were not enough to pull in, and this palace was not lively.
Qin Mengdie thought to herself that if there was something to do, if there was a computer network, and then there was a mobile phone, it would be okay to brush up on the circle of friends, shake it, this harem would probably be quiet, and many of these women were fighting around, and many of them were actually even more boring and idle.
If they can't even eat, what are they fighting for, it's not because they're idle, playing mahjong will make everyone so harmonious. (To be continued)
