Chapter 33 Enter the palace for a banquet
Time flies so fast! In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Feng Xiye took Yan Qingqing, who was dressed up, and prepared to enter the palace for a banquet. ran into Feng Ximo at the gate.
"Fourth Emperor Brother, why did you come here without entering the palace?"
"Brother Huang, don't you take your sister-in-law with you?" Feng Ximo glanced at Yan Qingqing, who had entered the carriage, and asked.
"Well, I'll take Qingqing with me, Mo'er is still grounded. Feng Xiye pretended not to care, but slightly frowned to betray his mind.
"Hehe, my father guessed it and sent me to deliver a decree to ask the imperial sister-in-law to enter the palace. When the will came, I went first. Feng Xi smiled and got on his horse and walked towards the palace.
Feng Xiye looked at Feng Ximo's back and pondered for a moment. "Mu Ruoqinuo, you go to the crown princess to convey your will, and say that your father let him enter the palace for a banquet and protect her into the palace, and the prince and the side concubine go first. ”
"Yes. Mu Ruoqinuo took the order, entered the mansion and walked briskly towards Yimoju.
"Master, the Mu Ruo guards are here. Millet said to Xiao Mo'er, who was making a mess with the dim sum.
"Oh, it's not time to enter the palace at this time, why did you come to me? Xiao Mo'er pursed her lips, her face full of displeasure. Millet had no choice but to go and send Mu Ruoqinuo. "Mu Ruo guard, our master is unwell, please go back. ”
Mu Ruoqinuo smiled in his heart, he obviously heard the princess's laughter just now, so he felt uncomfortable again?" "Please convey the crown princess on your behalf, the emperor decreed that the crown princess should be invited into the palace for a banquet, and his subordinates were only ordered to escort the crown princess." ”
"Oh, please guard Kirua later. "Xiaomi trotted to inform Xiao Mo'er, this emperor's decree cannot be delayed.
"Master, master, dress up quickly, the emperor ordered you to enter the palace for a banquet. Xiao Mo'er was dumbfounded when she heard this, alas, helplessly, get up and change her clothes and makeup. "Xiaomi, give me that sapphire blue jacket and silver dress, by the way, wear the white cloak that Rou'er made for me. Xiao Mo'er commanded urgently.
"Master, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so let's wear some festive clothes. Xiaomi trembled and proposed.
"Forget it, which of the masters in the palace is not festive today, and the color of the clothes of which concubine is not good, and no one will pay attention to me if I wear it like this and hide it in the snow-colored world. ”
Xiaomi had to find Xiao Mo'er's designated clothes, this master is strange, which woman doesn't want to be noticed by everyone, but she doesn't want anyone to pay attention. Then Xiang'er put a plum blossom bun on Xiao Mo'er, inserted a hosta and hurried out.
"Crown Princess, time is running out, and the banquet will start in half an hour. Mu Ruoqinuo kindly reminded.
"Oh, got it. Xiao Mo'er stepped on the wooden bench and got into the carriage, and Mu Ruoqinuo followed behind the horse. The carriage was moving very fast, and the bumpy little Mo'er was very uncomfortable. It took about a quarter of an hour to reach the palace gate.
"Which master is sitting in the car?" asked the coachman a eunuch guarding the palace gate. Mu Ruoqinuo stepped forward: "The crown princess is sitting in the car." ”
"Yo, but wait, Crown Princess Qiyu, the slave has come to pick you up at the behest of the queen's mother, please get off the car and turn the sedan chair. The eunuch's shrill voice entered the carriage. Xiao Mo'er lifted the curtain and got out of the car, sat in the sedan chair prepared for her by Queen Jing, and traveled unimpeded all the way, and finally arrived at the banquet hall before the banquet.
"Yo, isn't this the queen mother's sedan chair? Isn't the queen mother here early? Who is this?" A certain concubine saw the sedan chair made by Xiao Mo'er with sharp eyes.
"Who knows. A certain concubine glared jealously in the direction of the sedan chair.
Xiao Mo'er, who wanted to spend the banquet peacefully, got off the sedan chair under the attention of the concubines.
"See the Queen Mother, ladies and gentlemen. Xiao Mo'er stepped forward and saluted with some embarrassment. Queen Jing helped Xiao Mo'er up: "Don't see the queen mother, hehe." The other concubines also nodded and returned the salute. Empress Jing pulled Xiao Mo'er to sit next to her. Xiao Mo'er looked up and saw that it was Feng Xiye and Yan Qingqing who were facing her, which made her even more uncomfortable.
"The emperor has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived. Yuangong's shrill voice sounded. The emperor supported the queen mother to the main seat.
"See long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the queen mother, thousand years old, thousand years old. ”
Everyone knelt down and saluted, and the Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction. "Flatten. ”
After everyone got up and sat down, the Queen Mother beckoned to Yan Qingqing, and Feng Xiye walked to the Queen Mother's side with Yan Qingqing, who had a big belly. The Queen Mother smiled: "Qingqing, how is your body?"
"Thanks to the blessing of the emperor's grandmother, it is clear and good. Yan Qingqing smiled shyly, obviously very close to the Queen Mother.
"Well, take care of yourself and give birth to a great-grandson for the mourning family. The Queen Mother smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a slit, thinking that her niece and granddaughter's belly was really competitive, and if she could win a man in one fell swoop, she would be able to ascend to the back seat in the future. The two of them had a good time, and Yan Qingqing would get his seat. The eunuch announced the official opening of the table.
"Mo'er, how are you and Ye'er recently?" Queen Jing took Xiao Mo'er's hand and asked kindly. Xiao Mo'er smiled awkwardly: "It's okay." ”
Empress Jing shook her head: "Alas, why don't you tell the truth with the queen mother, Mo'er don't blame Ye'er for banning your feet, before the matter is clarified, it will be difficult for Ye'er to do, even if you are wronged, this palace is ashamed of Brother Yihao!"
"What the queen mother said, Mo'er has no grievances, the queen mother is relieved, today is Chinese New Year's Eve!" Xiao Mo'er raised her hand and put a piece of green vegetables in Queen Jing's bowl, trying to comfort Queen Jing as easily as possible. Empress Jing smiled with relief: "Yes, look at me, it's Chinese New Year's Eve today, Mo'er is not in a hurry, and when things are found out, Ye'er will definitely compensate you well." "Queen Jing is deliberately partial to Xiao Mo'er, how can the Queen Mother intervene in this matter, if the matter is not investigated, it will be difficult for Xiao Mo'er to lift the ban. However, because there is no factual evidence, Xiao Mo'er is not in danger.
"Come, I salute all Aiqing, and I hope that in the new year, you Aiqing can assist the Fengxi Dynasty to embark on a more prosperous road. Feng Zhiling drank this cup boldly, and the subordinate ministers also drank it. The platform facing the main seat was also lively.
Concubine Qi De, who was dressed in a red skirt, walked on the stage, the festive music sounded, there was applause below, and the emperor and queen mother also moved their eyes to the stage. A fiery harvest dance begins. The music was cheerful, and Concubine Qi De danced happily, which brought the whole joyful atmosphere up. At the end of the song, thunderous applause rang out, and everyone had a festive smile on their faces, and Xiao Mo'er was unconsciously infected by the festive atmosphere.
