"Emperor Xie." Hongli and a few people thanked each other, and then stood beside their respective mothers, as for Hongshi, because he was already an adult and married, he was able to sit behind Nala Lanling, but the two of them looked like they were separated, and there was no trace of communication and speech, and Lanling was even more numb like a marionette, without saying a word.

Nala said kindly: "Lunch has been prepared, all the sisters can wait patiently before they can be seated, if they are hungry, they will use some snacks first." ”

Dai Jiashi chuckled and said: "I just used a bowl of dumplings in Cining Palace, and I am full, where will I be hungry, and the concubines are worried that they will not be able to eat it for a while." ”

"If you can't eat, eat less." Nala glanced around at everyone, and suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that Lingxi and Hanyan aren't there, otherwise it would be more lively." ”

The hall was quiet all of a sudden, and only the sound of charcoal burning in the copper basin could be heard, and Hongshi said: "After a while, my sister and princess are out of confinement, and you can come with the child to ask the emperor to say goodbye." As for Hanyan, there will always be a chance to see him in the future, and the emperor doesn't have to mind too much. ”

Nala stroked the phoenix tail embroidered with gold thread between the skirt and said, "There is nothing in this palace, it is Concubine Hui...... Alas, Concubine Hui, you still have to think about opening some. ”

Wen Ruyan sat in the chair and bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Thank you for the queen's concern, the concubine is no longer in trouble." And the concubine believes that Han Yan, as an imperial daughter, will be able to be blessed for a lifetime. ”

"If only you could think so." Nala nodded with satisfaction, and then talked to the concubines, and at noon, Sun Mo came in and replied, "Master Qiqi, the side hall has prepared lunch, and the banquet can be held at any time." ”

Nala nodded slightly and said, "Well, what about the emperor, did you go and invite it?" ”

Sun Mo said respectfully: "If you go back to the master, the slave went to invite me, but Father-in-law Su said that the emperor has something important to deal with and can't come over, so he asked the master and a few ladies to eat by themselves." ”

"Do you know what's going on?" Nala asked, Yinzhen left halfway just now, which made her always wonder, what would be so important on the first day of the new year that Yinzhen couldn't stay for even a moment.

"This father-in-law Su didn't say it, the slave really doesn't know." Sun Mo said truthfully.

Nala stood up, "In that case, let's take a seat." ”

"Yes!" As Nala got up, everyone stood up and went to the side hall with her, there was a small door between the main hall and the side hall, and the side hall was burned early, so some of them did not get cold, let the cold rain pour outside, and the inside was just warm as spring.

Shu Mulu was about to sit down with Tong Guiren and others, but saw Nala waving to her, and said kindly: "Hui Guiren, come and sit with this palace." ”

Before Shu Mulu could speak, Nian, who was sitting at the same table as Nala, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for Niangniang to be like this, Hui Guiren is always just a nobleman." "Dare to confront the Nala clan in front of him like this, and there is only one Nian clan in the palace.

Also sitting at the same table as the Nala clan were Ling Ruo and Wen Ruyan, both of whom were silent, only quietly watching the development of the situation.

Nala glanced at Nian's and said: "My sister's words are raw, whether it is a nobleman or a concubine, they are all the same to serve the emperor, why do you have to be so clear." Sisters, do you say? ”

Everyone hurriedly agreed: "Niangniang is kind and kind, which is really the blessing of the concubines and others." What kind of thoughts are hidden under such words, only each knows best in their hearts.

"Having said that, but in the end, we must be divided into respects and inferiors, otherwise everyone can eat at the same table, and what do you have to do, but simply abolish the palace rules, and be more free." Nian didn't mean to give the Nala clan any face, and between the lines, he resolutely did not allow the Shu Mulu clan to be at the same table. Such words made the Nala clan a little unable to get off the stage, but because of his identity and the dispute between the same clan, the atmosphere in the side hall suddenly became stagnant.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Shu Mulu hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and said: "Thank you for your love, concubine, just sit here, just talk to Sister Tong and Sister Liu." ”

The Nala clan knew that she was taking the opportunity to relieve herself, nodded secretly, and said, "Since this is the case, then the palace will not force you." Let's cover it. ”

With Nala's words, the palace people opened the silver lids covering the plates one after another, and the aroma suddenly came to the nose, arousing everyone's appetite, and hot dishes came up one after another, which was really hearty. During the banquet, everyone talked and laughed together, especially the newly elected to the palace, and they took the opportunity to find ways to amuse the Nala clan, wanting to get the common sense of the Nala clan like Shu Mulu's family, so as to ascend to the sky in one step and get the emperor's favor.

It's just that the Shumulu clan only has one person, so no matter how happy the Nala clan is, they have never shown special favor to anyone.

When they came out, the rain had not stopped, and there were a few places on the ground that had accumulated small splashes, and their shoes made small splashes when they stepped on them.

When the palace people were cleaning up their things in the side hall, they found that a red envelope was placed in the place where Nian was originally sitting, and he immediately presented it to Nala. Jade was serving the Nala clan to freshen up, and when she saw this, she said quite unevenly: "The young concubine doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and the master kindly gave the third elder brother a red envelope as New Year's money, but she threw it here like this and didn't take it back." ”

"If she knew how to advance and retreat, she wouldn't be what she is now." Nala stroked her face carelessly, her body had been bad, and she had been too tired in the past few days, once she removed the fat powder, her face looked a little pale.

Jade took off the tired silk golden phoenix on Nala's bun and said: "It is said that it is not the first year that the master has sealed the red envelope, she has accepted it before, why ...... this time"

"She's angry with this palace, and this palace's support for Hui Guiren makes her very unhappy. Besides, fifty taels of silver, how can she look at it with her handwriting? Saying this, she casually threw the red envelope to Xiao Ningzi who was waiting on the side, "I've rewarded you, take it." ”

Xiao Ningzi was overjoyed, hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said happily: "Thank you for the grace of the master, thank you for the grace of the master." ”

Seeing him holding the red envelope like a baby, Nala couldn't help laughing and said, "It's only fifty taels of silver, do you need to be happy like this?" ”

"As long as it is rewarded by the master, don't say it is fifty taels, even the five copper plate minions will also take it back and offer it." Xiao Ningzi said seriously. Silver is a small thing, and the most important thing is the attitude of the Nala.

Nala couldn't help but smile and said to Jade: "Look at his monkey mouth, he is used to pleasing people, but he is not very honest. ”

Jade's movements stagnated slightly, and she quickly glanced at Sanfu who was bowing her head next to her, and said with a smile: "The first thing we need to do as slaves is to please our master, but Xiao Ningzi didn't do anything wrong." ”
