"When I first got the news, I was really scared to leave the big show that gave birth to me and raised me, and go to another completely unfamiliar place, and I was afraid that I might never come back in this life, and I was so scared when I thought about it. However, when I inquired about the situation of the little prince of Luo Kingdom, I suddenly thought about it.

The palace of this big performance is just a cage, as long as I stay here, I will never be able to get rid of the fate of being manipulated, if I don't marry Prince Luo today, I will marry someone else tomorrow.

Being able to bring an envoy group to the big show to ask for relatives shows that even if he is not favored, he is not left out in the cold. He was able to be ordered to ask for a marriage, and even if he became the emperor of Buluo in the future, he would be able to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

If so, what's so bad about that? The most ruthless imperial family. If my children must grow up in the royal family, I would rather be the children of an idle king, and eat and drink without worrying about gold and silver all his life, and not have to live in this palace every day!

However, I'm afraid that if I am not in the palace, I am afraid that my mother's life will be even more difficult.

In this palace, I have no one to entrust. That's why I thought of King Yong. ”

"Grandpa won't interfere in the emperor's family affairs."

"Of course it is under normal circumstances, but there will always be times when my father will ask his opinion, and at that time, won't he have to intervene?"

Qi Yuan smiled and said.

Looking at her somewhat sly smile, Shu Jin felt that this Qi Yuan seemed to have some side plans.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, no matter what I'm going to do. It won't endanger you. I just need you to remember, I tell you all this, just hope that King Yong will be able to protect my mother's life at that time. Then don't let her stay in the palace, just send her to a clean place to recuperate. ”

Shu Jin couldn't see through what she was going to do, but after thinking about it, he finally agreed:

"I try."

"Just have this sentence, the Lord of Xiangtang still seems to be counting."

Saying that, Qi Yuan got up from himself, "Qi Yuan has thanked the county lord first." ”

After speaking. turned around and walked away.

Shu Jin was hung in the corner pavilion, and finally had to touch his nose and get up. Then he found his way out of the palace on his own.

This Qi Yuan, no matter how she thinks her series of behaviors is a little inexplicable. What is she going to do? ……

However, no matter what she wants to do, if what she says is true, the Zuo family really has to do something at fifteen o'clock. But it may be in vain again.

Everyone guessed that the items that Shu Jin handed over to participate in the proposed market must be food. Some people even guessed that it was the "good wine" that Shu Jin gave to the emperor in recent days, but, unfortunately, you all guessed wrong.

But since someone wanted to do something about that day, shouldn't she think of something to pay them back?

As Shu Jin walked, he sketched this possibility in his heart.

If the Zuo family has always wanted to use this kind of pediatric framing method, I am afraid that they can only be chased and beaten by Shu Jin.

……

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the emperor sealed the jade seal. Strike the state affairs, and the ministers will retire. Before the arrival of this important annual festival. The emperor gave himself and his courtiers annual leave. During this time, each family can arrange their own activities such as paying tribute to the gods and worshipping their ancestors. The emperor would also sacrifice to the gods early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, and at that time he would give the meat to the courtiers to eat.

On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Jun was taking Jiang Cangjin, Jiang Duanyu and Shu Jin to worship their ancestors, although Jiang Duanwu was out of the hall and was not qualified to enter the ancestral hall, but he also had to kneel and buckle his head outside the ancestral hall. On weekdays, the people of the Protector's Mansion are not prosperous, but on this day, in addition to Jiang Cangjin, who followed the old Protector into the ancestral hall, there were also people kneeling outside the ancestral hall.

After Xie Wanru and Xie Qiang were disposed of, this was the first time Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu saw Jiang Duanwu.

The teenage boy lost weight fiercely, and after the pampered baby fat disappeared, what was left was a pale face with heavy dark circles.

Maybe it's because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he went on a hunger strike for three days without eating water and rice, and he still didn't fall ill physically. Later, Jiang Cangjin scolded him, and he sent someone to pour him a bowl of porridge, and finally started to eat again.

However, after this incident, Takeshi Ebata, who was arrogant and domineering in the past, became gloomy.

For example, just now, when Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu passed in front of him, even if he didn't use his eyes to look or perceive with mental power, Shu Jin could feel Jiang Duanwu's cold and hateful eyes sweeping over him and Jiang Duanyu from time to time.

In Shu Jin's opinion, Jiang Duanwu is just a gentleman, and he really doesn't pose a big threat, but looking at his cold Cen Cen Cen's eyes like this is really uncomfortable. I heard that a while ago, he took out all his private rooms and went around looking for someone to trust him and wanted to send them to his mother, but although Xie Wanru had been on the battlefield with the army when she was young, she was young and strong at that time. After so many years, the house has been pampered, and his mind is very heavy all day long, and his body is not as good as it was back then. It is said that he was not lightly ill on the way to distribution, and I don't know if the person was saved.

Needless to say, whenever Xie Wanru has a good deal, Jiang Duanwu will put this account on her and Jiang Duanyu.

But so what? The Zuo family has been offended, and it doesn't matter if there is one more Jiang Duanwu. However, this young man who was only more than ten years old went through this incident, and the fox friends who originally flattered him every day no longer paid attention to him, which made him become silent, and he had learned not to shout or scream, but just looked at Jiang Duanyu and Shu Jin with hateful eyes, which is enough to see that this Jiang Duanwu has also changed a lot of his heart after the accident.

Although he has some sympathy for this guy, Shu Jin will not take the initiative to comfort him or tolerate his untaming.

Jiang Cangjin obviously couldn't take this concubine's son, so he went with him. This part of the ancestor worship was just a small episode, neither Jiang Duanyu nor Shu Jin took it to heart, because next Jiang Cangjin was going to take them into the palace to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve state banquet.

The state banquet for the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion was to be held at Shenzheng (4 p.m.), and the concubines also came to accompany the emperor to dinner. In addition to their own table, there are also six tables of accompanying guests, that is, people such as Jiangduan Yushu Jin who were designated by the emperor.

All kinds of wine and food at the banquet were regulated: the emperor had one table per person. The dishes eaten are placed on the banquet table, and a long table is placed in front of the emperor, and the dishes are taken to the long table when the emperor eats.

From the outside to the inside, there are all kinds of meat, vegetarian, sweet and salty snacks, cold cuts, hot dishes, as well as fruits, pasta and some seafood dried and ground into flour to make food, a total of 8864 dishes.

The specifications of the dishes for Shu Jin and other six tables of guests are much smaller, with a total of 24 hot and cold dishes per table.

Shu Jin did not participate in the state banquet last year. However, afterwards, she saw the list of ingredients consumed in this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the total ingredients consumed at last year's state banquet:

Two fat ducks and two vegetable ducks. Three fat chickens, five rookie chickens, sixteen pheasants, and three geese. Forty-five pounds of pork. There are four trotters, one pork belly, six pig intestines, thirty catties of wild boar, twenty catties of lamb, thirty catties of venison, four deer tails, and twenty fish. Other than that. Six catties of white flour and six taels of sugar are used to make dim sum.

In Shu Jin's opinion, it is an unimaginable waste to eat so many things in one meal. But. It can also be seen that the emperor and others attached great importance to this festival and the richness of the country. This time, Shu Jin was fortunate to be able to taste the cumbersome and solemn Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After noon, all the courtiers who were going to participate in the state banquet arrived at the palace early, and then waited until the emperor and the concubines were ready, and then everyone followed the emperor and the concubines and took their seats to the sound of music. Then the eunuchs first sent soup to Qi Yan, and after a pair of food boxes were delivered, the left box was bird's nest red and white duck kidney soup, a bowl of rice, and the right box of bird's nest duck waist soup, duck tofu soup, and the food boxes were paired, which was also the auspicious meaning of taking pairs of pairs and good things; Next is the concubines, and the soup is sent to the concubines in order, all of them are sent according to their rank, and the amount is twice as small as that of the emperor. It's just white rice and mutton egg powder soup.

After drinking the soup, a eunuch came up and passed all kinds of dishes on the banquet from the emperor's table to the accompanying table, which means that the emperor shared the delicious food with others. After passing around like this, the wine began to be served. There were forty kinds of appetizers for the emperor, and fifteen kinds of dishes for the concubines and accompanying guests. After the emperor picked up the first glass of wine, everyone left the table and knelt down, and the mountain called for longevity and other auspicious words, and when the emperor finished drinking, everyone returned to their seats, and the concubines began to taste the wine.

After drinking, he began to eat fruit and snacks, and everything was for the emperor to enjoy the first bite, and then the others stood up to greet and bow, and only after returning to their positions could they continue to eat. Shu Jin, who ate this meal, deeply realized the tediousness and redundancy of etiquette under the feudal system, and it was really maddening to be able to eat well......

Fortunately, "there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed". With the end of a long celebration, the concubines and courtiers stood up again, and then the emperor left the banquet, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet finally ended.

After this, Qi Yan ordered that the meals he had eaten, including the plates, bowls, saucers, spoons, and chopsticks used to serve the meals, be presented to the close royal family and courtiers, and then everyone went elsewhere to watch the autumn hunting dance, which is a fixed program of the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve every year.

After the dance, this is really over, the concubines go back to the palace, and the courtiers can also go back to their respective homes.

On the carriage back home, Shu Jin looked at Jiang Duanyu with a cushioned and listless appearance.

"Okay, you can't eat well at the state banquet, don't you have a lot of snacks? Just eat some when you get home. ”

When Shu Jin heard this, he finally cheered up.

Yes, there are many snacks made in the imperial dining room given by the emperor and King Yong.

Shu Jin was chattering in his heart: Wanzi cake, Shouzi cake, Fuzi cake, Luzi cake, auspicious cake, Ruyi cake, Fushou cake, Baihua cake, peach cake, Songshou cake, etc., are all types with pleasing names and beautiful appearances; There are not many fresh fruits in winter, but there are a lot of preserved fruits, such as preserved peaches, dried apricots, and preserved mixed fruits, which taste good; There are also some flavorful smoked pigs, smoked chickens, smoked ducks, smoked meats, etc.

I really want to go back to my house as soon as I think about it.

"Xiao Qi, hurry up!" Thinking about it, Shu Jin raised his voice and ordered.

When the words fell, the carriage was really much faster, and Shu Jin was satisfied and lazily leaned back on the cushion.

"What is it today, you have a grade on you now, and you will have to participate in the Great Dynasty tomorrow, and that one is even more tired."

When Shu Jin heard this, he glanced at him:

"What will the court be afraid of, it is nothing more than getting up early, kneeling a few more times, and then suffering more cold on the palace square. At least I can eat well! ”

"Poof!" Ebata Yu sneered.

Sure enough, what made Shu Jin resentful the most was not to let her eat properly.

suddenly remembered that when Shu Jin first arrived at Chai's house, she made the family jump every day for food, and now that I think about it, it seems that she has not changed at all from the beginning to the present. Every time he could, he would have to eat with her. Because no matter what kind of food it is, it seems to be supreme delicious in front of Shu Jin, and she can't help but eat a lot more when she eats with her until the end.

"You've eaten so much, why don't you see any meat?"

Jiang Duanyu took Shu Jin's hand, pinched her wrist bone, and said.

When Shu Jin heard this, he glanced at him, suddenly rolled his eyes, sat up, met Jiang Duanyu's slightly puzzled gaze, and held his head high and said:

"What do you want so much meat for? Meat only makes sense when it grows where it grows! ”

As he spoke, he reckoned suggestively.

"......" Looking at Shu Jin's movements, Jiang Duanyu couldn't help but take his eyes away from her face and swept down. Then I didn't know what I thought, and the heat suddenly surged, and my face was a little red.

He touched his nose uncomfortably, moved his body, and said in his heart: Fortunately, the sky is dark, and she can't really see it in the carriage, she shouldn't find anything, right?

Then I heard Shu Jin laugh:

"Hahaha......"

Shu Jin smiled and threw himself into the cushion.

How sharp her mental power is, in her opinion, Jiang Duanyu is completely covering her ears and stealing the bell. Although Shu Jin said that she never even had a boyfriend in her last life, after all, she grew up under the influence of various external information, so she teased Jiang Duanyu, and the means came out one after another, and she was taking pleasure in teasing Jiang Duanyu recently. Seeing that a sentence and an action have an effect, how can you not laugh.

"Laugh! You're still laughing! You wait for me! ”

"Hahaha!"

……

On the first day of the first lunar month, this day is the first day of the year, the first of the month, and the first of the time, so it is very valued by the royal family. The so-called Great Dynasty Meeting, that is, the day when all the courtiers have to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.

As soon as the morning dawned, all the courtiers had already gathered in the square of the palace, where the Luan driver honor guard was arranged, and under the eaves of the main hall were the royal bands and musical instruments such as golden bells and jade chimes. At the end of the day, as the bells in the palace rang and drummed, the ceremonial music played, the emperor ascended the throne, and the civil and military officials began to kneel in line according to the good position in the square. At this time, some courtiers came out of the queue and recited aloud the Xuanwen, that is, the article that sang the praises of merit to the emperor, and when they finished reading, all the courtiers knelt three times and bowed nine times.

With the big gift, Shu Jin secretly yawned.

The result of teasing people is to be tossed all night without sleeping, and then have to yawn for days to get up on the third watch day to kowtow to the palace to pay New Year's greetings.
