Chapter 312: New Year's Banquet
Fu Quan said: "It's just that it's not a long-term solution to trap her like this." So the mother still has to come up with a way to get things done as soon as possible. β
Yao Duran said, "Let me think about it again." β
At noon, the state banquet of the previous dynasty began, and the courtiers and their wives entered the palace one after another to Yilongtai for the banquet. And the New Year's banquet of Jingying Palace also began. The officials and wives were separated from their own adults in the palace, and they went to the Jingying Palace for a banquet together.
No one would have imagined that this year's New Year's banquet in the harem was actually organized by Concubine Jing, who has always been low-key and quiet.
Yao Duran changed from the main to a guest, and took Fuquan and Biya to the Jingying Palace for a banquet. Concubine Jing set up the banquet in the Lan Pavilion in her palace. When Yao Dui arrived, the Lanting Building was already full of guests, with beautiful clothes, fragrant breeze accompanied by a coquettish smile, and a ringing sound.
"The Imperial Concubine has arrivedβ"
Suddenly, the building fell silent, and several eyes swept towards the door. Suddenly, there was a sudden light in front of me, and I saw that an extremely beautiful woman had already arrived, it was the imperial concubine Yao under the king's favor.
Hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, and the water hall is fragrant.
Yao Duran deliberately wore a bright color today, a peach-colored wide-sleeved long skirt with a lotus-colored corset Ruyi belt, Chu Chu's slender waist was overwhelming, showing her graceful and exquisite figure.
The skirt is swaying, the beauty strolls by, the dark fragrance floats, and the whole person is like standing between the colorful clouds and the scarlet glow, which is stunning to the audience. A green silk hair has become a flowing cloud bun, and several hostas have been pinned into a fan shape in turn, which is beautiful and handsome. Looking at the appearance again, the peach blossom eyes on the peach blossom face, the amorous style between the eyebrows and the tail of the eyes, the rhyme is sultry, and it is indeed beautiful and shocking.
Yao Duran smiled at everyone as she walked, dignified and generous: "Happy New Year, ladies and sisters." β
The officials and concubines came back to their senses, and there was a sound of tables and chairs, and all the guests in the hall had risen to salute her.
"You don't have to be polite, sit down, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is no need to be restrained, the guests and hosts should be happy." Yao Duran said, and the person had come to the seat and sat down first.
The rest of the people thanked them and sat down one after another.
Yao Duran's beautiful eyes looked around, there were only a few concubines in the harem, two noble concubines who gave birth to princesses, one Ning Wanshu and one Wei Yanran, as for Xu Huanyan, she was still grounded in the palace of wanton will. And the few official wives I know are Mrs. Yuan and Xie Yuanzhi, by the way, there is also Ling Chuimeng on Xie Yuanzhi's side.
Yao Duran glanced at her a few more times, and said in her heart that she was not in the main room, why would she come to such an occasion.
Concubine Jing seemed to see her doubts, leaned over and said softly: "Sister, that Ling Chuimeng came uninvited, and I don't know how she coaxed Mrs. Du to take her into the palace for a banquet." β
Yao Duran replied softly: "It is also possible that Lord Du agreed, after all, there is a Ling family behind her, and she has to be held in front of people everywhere, and Mrs. Du can't afford to offend no matter how unhappy she is." β
How, who knows? Anyway, people have come uninvited, they are the Lord, what else can they say?
The two chatted a few more words, and Concubine Jing ordered a banquet.
Each table poured wine, and Yao Duran raised a glass to invite everyone to drink: "At the beginning of the new year, this palace invites everyone to drink a glass of New Year's wine, and say goodbye to the old and welcome the new together." β
The tables and chairs sounded, and everyone stood up with their glasses and drank the wine together.
During the banquet, the food was fragrant, the tea and wine were fragrant, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After a while, an official wife took the lead in toasting the concubines.
When Wei Yanran arrived, everyone congratulated her on being pregnant, and she was blessed to be pregnant with Huo Jingcheng's first son after ascending the throne.
Wei Yanran smiled politely one by one, and drank with them instead of tea.
After the official wives finished toasting with a round of wine, they were really dizzy. Yao Duran was worried about Wei Yanran, and took advantage of the temporary stop, so she looked at her through Concubine Jing and asked, "Sister, can you ask the Tai Hospital to prescribe fetal medicine?" β
Wei Yanran said: "Naturally, I sent a few big bags in the morning." β
Yao Duran said: "That's good, don't be lazy, be sure to fry and drink on time, you know?" β
Wei Yanran: "Well, sister, don't worry." β
Concubine Jing also answered: "You are happy now, especially when you get up in the morning, you should be the most nauseous, but the fetal medicine is best absorbed when you drink it in the morning, so it should be more uncomfortable after drinking the medicine, and it is indeed hard." β
She has a prince under her knees, and she has experience, so Wei Yanran chatted with her and asked her how to raise a fetus, and Concubine Jing responded patiently.
There were a few bold ladies at the banquet, driving everyone to drink and have fun, and they played games for a while, and the atmosphere was in full swing for a while, and the laughter was endless.
After a lot of staggering, sure enough, someone was drunk, and he was very drunk. I saw that Xie Yuanzhi was already lying on the table, and she didn't look up for a long time.
Ling Chuimeng sat beside her, and when he saw her so drunk, he gently pushed her and whispered to her: "Madam, Madam, wake up......"
"Madam, wake up, you're drunk, concubine help you go home......"
"Get out of here!" Xie Yuanzhi was pushed dizzy, raised her head abruptly and exhaled like this, and when she landed, the whole hall was silent.
Ling Chuimeng looked at her in a daze: "Madam, you are drunk, the concubine will send you home." As he spoke, he took her arm again.
Who knew that Xie Yuanzhi was so drunk and crazy, her face was flushed, she staggered to her feet, stretched out her finger and pointed at her nose and scolded: "You get out of here!" Who wants you to help! You relied on your family background to squeeze your head and marry into our Du Mansion, what do you want to do?! β
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Ling Chuimeng was stunned for a long time and didn't move again.
"Woo woo woo-" Unexpectedly, Xie Yuanzhi finished scolding, and suddenly fell back on the table, crying and talking.
"You slut! Get out of here! Woo woo - Du Yan is not a good thing either! I bore him children, but in the end he married you sluts to get angry with me! β
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely awkward. No one expected that Xie Yuanzhi would suddenly lose her face and lose face.
At this time, Yao Duran had already heard her drunken words clearly. It seems that Nadu Mansion is really not peaceful, and it is strange that Xie Yuanzhi is not angry and dissatisfied. is drunk like mud now, and he actually vented his grievances and anger in public, it seems that he has really held it deep enough for a long time.
It's just that her alcohol consumption is really so bad? For a long time, everyone drank evenly, everyone was fine, and she alone became such a virtuous person.
Over there, there are already several officials and wives who have surrounded and kindly persuaded each other, but where can drunk people listen?
I saw Xie Yuanzhi raise her head suddenly, looked at the several official wives around her table with drunken eyes, and blurted out a scolding: "Get out!" What are you all chattering about around me?! Are you laughing at me?! Don't your husbands have concubines?! β
The officials and wives rushed to be scolded, and several of them had turned around and returned to their seats with cold faces.
Only one of the older officials knew the overall situation, and probably thought that she couldn't let her make trouble, so she didn't leave, but persuaded her bitterly: "Alas, as women, who is not wronged by this? Mrs. Du, don't cry, it's unlucky to cry during the New Year. β
As soon as Xie Yuanzhi heard this kind of empathetic persuasion, she immediately cried sadly: "Ahhh I married a bunch of people in the house, not to mention, I still think about Yao Duran's slut!! I'm dying of it! But I can only grit my teeth and bear it! Woo-woo-"
As soon as these words came out, the stone was shattered.
With a "hum", Yao Duran was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
The officials, wives and concubines were all dumbfounded. After that, all eyes swept towards Yao Duran.
Wei Yanran was the first to come back to her senses, and suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Mrs. Du is drunk!" Nonsense! Fast! Pour her some tea! Feed her another fruit to relieve hangover! β
Beyond the words, hurry up and gag her!
Yao Duran finally recovered from the shock, and suddenly stood up in a panic as if he was facing a great enemy, and said in a deep voice: "Someone! Mrs. Du is too strong to drink, send her out of the palace and back home! β
Concubine Jing also hurriedly stood up: "Yes, yes, Mrs. Du is drunk, let's order someone to help her go back and rest!" β
The guards outside the building responded to the call, and helped Xie Yuanzhi away half politely and half forcibly according to his words.
Ling Chuimeng hurriedly saluted everyone, followed silently, and walked with small steps.
"Ahh Where are you taking me?! I'm going to kill you sluts! Xie Yuanzhi's shouting and scolding gradually drifted away, and finally he couldn't hear it.
The Lanting Building was finally clean, everyone's faces were different, and the atmosphere was silent and awkward for a while.
"Come, let's continue to drink, and this palace will order someone to add more dishes." Concubine Jing hurriedly eased the scene.
Everyone responded one after another, but Yao Duran slowly stood up and said: "The palace is not strong enough to drink, so I will go back to the palace first, and I hope everyone will not be disappointed, and you must return with fun." β
was made such a fuss by Xie Yuanzhi, she was swept away and aroused suspicion, so she couldn't keep it. Concubine Jing and Wei Yanran didn't understand, so they didn't stay, and got up with everyone else to see them off.
Yao Duran pretended to be nothing, and left with Biya's hand.
When I returned to the Wanton Palace, it wasn't like that.
With a "bang", Yao Duran slammed all the things on the table to the ground!
"I knew she was a bad idiot! I was given such a play in public today! Tomorrow is bound to be full of gossip! Did she ignore me and his husband? β
Fuquan was also in a hurry: "Yes, yes, this matter must be spread today!" Then the mother will have to make a fuss again! Speaking of Your Majesty, what will happen when you know about this? As he spoke, he turned back and forth a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Alas! A dog's mouth is a dog's mouth! Sure enough, it's used to bite! β
Biya said with a sad face: "Niangniang, what should I do?" Think of a way! Your Majesty doesn't know today, but tomorrow you will know! β
Yao Duran was full of irritability, sat down heavily, and fell into deep thought.
Huo Jingcheng's ...... should know Du Yan's thoughts about her to some extent, because last year's Shangyuan Festival, when the Yunyan Pavilion was talking, he said that Du Yan killed Jia Shuyan for her, and asked her if she had already followed Du Yan.
Then by then, he should have sniffed out the signs. It's just that since they got together, they have never mentioned other men. But today, it was announced by Xie Yuanzhi after drinking! Who is Xie Yuanzhi? That's Du Yan's pillow person! No one knows her husband's mind better than her! So she said it, it really makes people have to think about it.
