Chapter 19: The Annual Banquet (1)

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace New Year's banquet.

Since the day Ye Fu received the post of the palace banquet, Ye Jinqing's distressed expression could not be hidden. Early in the morning, Shen Li personally brought people to Ye Jinqing's room. watched Ye Jinqing sitting obediently in front of the dresser, taken care of by Xiao Wu.

Through the bronze mirror, looking at Ye Jinqing's face full of reluctance, Shen Li thought that she was having a temper again,

"Although the etiquette in this palace is cumbersome, there are so many palace nobles in this palace banquet, who will hold on to your yellow-haired girl, as long as you don't make mistakes. Besides, it's not the first time you've entered the palace, it's your mother who should be afraid, and your mother will be the first time you've entered the palace. ”

Ye Jinqing was full of words, but when she looked at her mother, she didn't know how to speak, so she opened her mouth and closed it shyly.

Looking at Ye Jinqing, who wanted to stop talking, Shen Li poked the smooth forehead with his hand and said, "Oh, my precious girl, let's go into the palace and go home." ”

Ye Jinqing sighed resignedly, maybe it wasn't as bad as he thought, at least he could see Su Xuan when he entered the palace.

In the past few days, after thinking about it, she felt that the word left by her father should refer to Su Xuan. Although I don't know when my father and Su Xuan had a friendship, but even what she couldn't notice should be even more unexpected. And only Su Xuan has the ability to solve the dead end of the Ye family.

Thinking of Su Xuan, Ye Jinqing had only met a few times, and they all met Su Guifei, except for being shocked by that appearance, there was almost no other impression. For some things about Su Xuan, I also heard from my father's chatter, and now they are pieced together, but I know that Su Xuan was only a side branch of the Su family, and Su Guifei is the same mother and brother. Because of Su Guifei's favor, he was not only registered in the Su family's clan, but his official position was also promoted again and again.

Now he is twenty-three years old, and the official worships the deputy minister, of course, Su Xuan's own means are also extraordinary. Even the father, who rarely praises others, also has a little respect for Su Xuan. She didn't know what was so special about Su Xuan, but in the chatter of the little girls, she knew that Su Xuan had received a lot of beautiful children in recent years. Thinking of Su Xuan's extraordinary appearance, she couldn't help but cry for Jinyang's boudoir girl.

After thinking about it for a while, when she came back to her senses, Wu'er had already dressed her up. In the year of Xu Shinian, in order to be more festive, Wu'er also rubbed some rouge on her, and wore a red gauze silk flower on her head.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I don't look like anything on weekdays, and I always feel too glamorous. Ye Jinqing wrinkled his nose, and the bright little face in the mirror also wrinkled his nose. She blinked again, and the slightly unfamiliar self in the mirror also blinked.

Before Ye Jinqing could get used to herself, Shen Li on the side couldn't wait to pull her over.

Ye Jinqing was dressed in a crimson silk rabbit fur trimmed dress, the ink-colored ones were softly woven into a double flat bun, and the red gauze silk flowers between her hair were looming. Shen Li looked at it, and was very satisfied with Ye Jinqing's help of the yarn silk flower.

Shen Li himself has no rank, so he doesn't have to wear that heavy court dress, but he can't wear it too rudely.

She was dressed in a pleated Ruyi moon skirt, a green silk hair pulled into a fallen horse bun, a gilt flower and a bead to shake a red coral crocus hairpin, just a few things, elegant but luxurious. This Yuehua skirt is very exquisite, hiding Shen Li's five-month pregnancy under the skirt, and from a distance, you can't see that this is a pregnant beauty.

It is rare for Ye Jinqing to see her mother bring these hairpins and this kind of skirt, and her mother's clothes have always followed her father's and picked up the light ones. Looking at the glamorous mother, Ye Jinqing lost her mind slightly.

Bi Zhi just came in from outside, helped her up, and said, "Madam, the carriage is ready." Shen Li saw that the time was not early, took Ye Jinqing's little hand, and the mother and daughter walked towards the door.

From a distance, I saw that Poria was already waiting by the carriage, and the footstool had been placed. Shen Li's movement was slightly inconvenient, one of the two big girls got into the car first to lead Shen Li, and the other stood behind Shen Li to take care. Because it was a carriage that Ye Qingyuan was used to, this carriage was more spacious than ordinary carriages, and the four masters and servants all got into a carriage.

Ye Jinqing noticed that everything with edges and corners in the carriage was thickly wrapped in cotton wool, and she knew that it was made of Poria cocos as soon as she guessed. The two girls beside her mother, Poria is steady and careful, and Bizhi is smart and clever, and she is good at observing words and feelings.

The carbon in the carriage has been born for a long time, the whole carriage is warm, and the carriage is shaking again, which is easy to make people sleepy. Shen Li has already taken a nap on the side, this entry into the palace gate is also according to the rank, like Ye Fu, who can only participate in the palace banquet by post, is basically at the back, and it will take a long time to enter the palace gate. Ye Jinqing didn't feel sleepy, staring at her toes in a daze boredly.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, sure enough, the carriages of all the families lined up, waiting to enter the palace gate. The time of the half-pillar incense has passed, and it has not yet been the turn of the Ye family, and the carriage is really panicked by the warm basin, and it can't open the curtain to breathe, Ye Jinqing simply got out of the carriage to breathe.

At this time, Ye Jinqing's whole body was tightly wrapped in a foundation embroidered with white flowers. The collar of the crate was inlaid with white fox fur, and most of Ye Jinqing's face was buried in it, but he didn't feel cold. As soon as Ye Jinqing got out of the carriage, several little girls who came down before her noticed her, they first looked in the direction of Ye Jinqing, and then a little girl walked towards Ye Jinqing.

"Sister Ye, everyone is bored of waiting, they all get out of the car and chat, why don't we go over together." Shao Huiru asked with a smile. Shen Li doesn't usually walk between the mansions, but Ye Jinqing's peers in Jinyang City don't know much. This Shao Huiru is close to the two families, so they can be regarded as nodding friends. But since the people opened their mouths to invite, Ye Jinqing couldn't refuse, so she followed Shao Huiru.

When I walked in, I saw clearly that the girl who was surrounded in the middle was older than she should be, eleven or twelve, very similar to Su Zhenyi, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were a little more domineering. When Ye Jinqing looked at the other party, the girl was also looking at Ye Jinqing.

"Hmph, it's very average, and sure enough, a small family came out." Su Miaoyi's words were heard by all the girls, and of course, Ye Jinqing, who was walking towards her, heard it clearly.

The scene suddenly condensed, this Su Miaoyi brought the Su family, needless to say the power of the Su family, and Ye Jinqing, her father was named the prince's master, but he was not awarded an official position and rank, but everyone knew that Emperor Jinde was kind to Ye Qingyuan. For a moment, no one spoke.

"My mother is pregnant, and it is inconvenient for me to stay outside for a long time, Sister Shao, I will go back first."

On weekdays, Ye Jinqing would have thought of a way to let Su Miaoyi suffer a secret loss, but today she is really not interested in such a sour and jealous trivial matter. Without waiting for Shao Huiru to open her mouth, she walked back.
