Tonight, it is the Chongyang family banquet, the Qianqing Palace has already begun to be in full swing, and it is Concubine Jiang and the eldest brother who are in charge, it is Concubine Jiang who took the initiative to tell the emperor that the eldest brother is older, and now he should do something for the palace, and the emperor asked the eldest brother to be responsible for the arrangement of this family banquet.

"Yin Tian, have you done everything that Emperor Ama gave you?" Concubine Jiang came to the door of the main hall, quite worried, this was an important banquet, representing the face of their mother and son, and there could be no mistakes in playing.

"E-Niang rest assured, everything is carefully arranged, there will be no mistakes, Erchen has lived in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother doesn't like too eye-catching patterns, Erchen will let the hall be arranged with fewer colors." The eldest brother has just married, but the life of the husband and wife is dull, and although the eldest brother has opened a mansion outside the palace, because he has not yet been officially canonized, he will run to the palace twice in three days.

"That's good, you marry Fujin, Eniang will mention to you in front of your emperor Ama to give you a knighthood, according to the rules, you should be canonized when you are fifteen, your mansion has moved in, the plaque has not been written, it is estimated that the emperor will give you a canonization tonight, you can behave well."

"Yes, Eniang, did you say that Huang Ama would canonize me as a prince? Even those who have no interest like Prince Li have been crowned princes. ”

"Shh, Prince Li is the son of the first emperor, and he is the son of the queen mother, how can the emperor also take care of brotherhood, and Prince Li was crowned after ascending the throne." Concubine Jiang motioned to him to be quiet: "E-niang thinks that Yintian will definitely be able to be named a prince." ”

The crown prince canonization is generally divided into several categories, the best is the prince, followed by the county king, and then the beyler bezi, Concubine Jiang thought that her son was the emperor's eldest son, and he must be crowned a prince, but in fact, over the past dynasties, few concubines can be canonized as princes directly, most of them are Baylor.

Hua Ying also cleaned up and dressed up, changed the clothes during the chrysanthemum banquet, put on the concubine court clothes, and brought the fifth elder brother, and when she arrived at the Qianqing Palace, she happened to meet Concubine Jing with the fourth elder brother Yinming, and the two concubines and the two princes went in with a smile.

They came early, so they took their seats first, Hua Ying looked up and looked around, remembering that they said that the things here were all done by Concubine Jiang's eldest brother, and frowned.

"Mother, why do you have such an expression? Is there something wrong?" Seeing her like this, Qingxu asked while no one asked.

"The Chongyang family banquet, like Chinese New Year's Eve, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Lichun, is a banquet that the Empress Dowager attaches great importance to, and this time there are other princes and ministers, how can it not be lively?"

Xu was deeply impressed by the luxurious decorations of the last family banquet, and she could see at a glance that the gold candlesticks placed in front of the table were gone, replaced by ordinary silver and bronze utensils, and the elaborate felts on the flat table were also less varied.

"Xu was ordered by the emperor." Qingxu didn't understand what was going on, but in general, there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, everything should be there, it was in line with the rules, but it was a little simpler.

"My sister came early." Shun Guiren also arrived, first greeted Hua Ying, and then touched Yinze's little head: "The fifth elder brother is also here." ”

Yin Ze said obediently: "Shun Niangniang is good." "There was a limelight in the morning, and now Hua Ying doesn't treat him as a child who doesn't understand anything.

Just as a few people were talking around, Concubine Ling crossed the threshold, saw them at a glance, and walked to the front before sneering: "Oh, I know that I think this is the Chongyang family banquet held by the emperor, but I don't know, I think this is a place for my daughter's family to play, and I can't wait to get together one by one, it's really funny." ”

The faces of several people changed, and Hua Ying said: "Concubine Ling Niangniang Jin'an, Niangniang is right, the concubines are like sisters, so they naturally want to get together, so as not to talk like Concubine Ling, if you want to get together in the future, you can't get a few people." ”

Seeing that Concubine Ling was about to get angry, Hua Ying continued: "Besides, all the sisters in the harem are very good, since Concubine Ling likes to be alone, the concubines don't dare to disturb the interest of the mother, and they can't talk to the mother to go together, so the mother will go to a place where there is no crowd to sit." ”

In the past, Hua Ying just said a few words, and then stopped, because she felt that it was better not to tear her face and talk in the future, but Hua Ying didn't want to tolerate the words and deeds of this Concubine Ling at all.

"Why are Concubine Ling's eyes so wide? It's really scary, the concubines are all the daughters you said, and they can't stand such a fright. Seeing this, Yu Guiren naturally followed Hua Ying's unforgiving mouth, and sat down in his place after speaking, if he talked about angry people, Yu Guiren could still be among the best.

"Okay," Concubine Ling laughed angrily: "You all rely on today's family banquet and the palace doesn't care about you, so you make ridiculous remarks, and carefully how the palace will clean you up in the future." ”

After saying that, he left, but he heard Hua Ying add: "I thought that Niangniang could say how generous she was, but Er'er." ”

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Ling turned her head and saw that Hua Ying was still smiling, and she wanted to tear one of her mouths, but the witty words stopped her.

"Niangniang, the emperor and the queen mother should be coming soon, let's not worry about her." Punch Yu knew that his master was about to go crazy, and he was afraid that the conflict at this banquet would disturb the main masters, so he hurriedly persuaded until Concubine Ling finally flicked her sleeves and walked to her seat.

When the family banquet began, Yingge Yan danced and staggered, and Jing Concubine said: "I didn't see that you are also a prickly person, you should be careful when you speak, don't mess with her." ”

Hua Ying thought that if she didn't provoke this woman, she could hurt herself, and she really thought that she was a bully: "Okay, but I can't stand her appearance of always making trouble, which is annoying." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Concubine Jing agreed: "Cheng Tian is the high virtue, looking at herself as a queen, just like her, how can she be worthy of being the mother of a country, it's really wishful thinking." "Even the queen is virtuous on the surface, but at least she has done things on the surface, not as arrogant as Concubine Ling.

As soon as the words fell, I only heard the emperor on the throne say: "Today's Double Ninth Festival, I am very happy, and I salute the emperor's mother." ”

After that, the emperor picked up the sake specially prepared by the Internal Affairs Office for the Double Ninth Festival, and drank it, and the queen mother was also full of smiles, looking very good: "The emperor has a heart." ”

"This hall is arranged by the eldest brother, is the emperor still satisfied?" When the emperor mentioned the eldest brother, Concubine Jiang couldn't help but stretch out her ears, and the surface was calm.

The Queen Mother first glanced at the eldest brother, and then nodded and said: "The mourning family is old, and they can't find anything wrong, so the emperor likes it." ”

I couldn't hear whether I liked it or not, Concubine Jiang was a little uneasy: "Yintian This is the first time to help him with Huang Ma Ma and Huang Ama, there must be something inconsiderate, and I hope the emperor and the queen mother will forgive me." ”

The emperor asked her to sit down, but called the second princess: "Wen Ru, tell me, how is your eldest brother arranged?"

Concubine Xiu heard the emperor suddenly call the name of the second princess, her face was still not panicked, only to see the second princess calmly stand up and answer: "Erchen is young and is a daughter's family, not as good as the eldest brother, whether the eldest brother arranges the Qianqing Palace or the chrysanthemum banquet in the morning, it is in line with the festival banquet of the past dynasties, and the eldest brother thinks that the eldest brother is well arranged." ”

"Listen to what you mean, it means that this banquet is in line with the rules, but there is nothing outstanding, that is, there are areas that can be improved, you might as well talk about it specifically." The emperor squinted and smiled, looking like a loving father, but in Hua Ying's eyes, he was like a cunning fox, and he didn't know what to calculate.

I saw the second princess ponder for a moment, and then said: "If you really want to say it, don't blame the eldest brother for the son." ”

“…… The second imperial sister said that it was okay. The eldest brother felt that the current situation was a little bad, but he could only let her say it.

"This Double Ninth Festival, this is a festival of filial piety to the elderly, and the most important old man in the palace is the Huang Ma Ma, according to the observation of the son, although the Huang Ma Ma, the decoration of the Cining Palace seems simple, but they are low-key connotations, most of them are ornaments that highlight the style of my dynasty, such as the rectangular tub tourmaline peach tree bonsai in front of the main hall, although it is not eye-catching and eye-catching, but it is made of gold and jade jewelry like a raw bonsai, it can be seen that the Huang Ma likes to be restrained and gorgeous objects. And today's big brother is a little simpler to set it up like this. ”

"You kid, obviously you haven't lived in Cining Palace, and you occasionally come to ask for peace, it won't take long for you to observe so carefully." Concubine Xiu asked in time, everyone knows that the eldest brother has lived in the queen mother's palace, and she mentioned this to let others understand that the eldest brother has no intentions, and her daughter is the most attentive.

"The mother concubine didn't know that the sons liked Huang Mama, so every time she went to Cining Palace, she would always observe it carefully, and over time she remembered some furnishings. This can't be blamed on the royal brother, after all, the imperial brother is a man, and he will always be careless, and besides, in addition to this, the imperial brother's arrangement today can't find anything wrong. ”

Fang just said that the Double Ninth Festival is to honor the elderly, and now he says that just a small mistake is nothing, it is nothing more than deliberately giving the eldest brother an unhonorable step in front of everyone. The words of the second princess with a lovely and immature face and a small figure are eager to kill people, every sentence is very scheming, and she is extremely aggressive in retreating.

"Okay, Wen Ru really has a heart, and can observe Cining Palace so carefully." The emperor praised him, he didn't expect the second princess to say such a thing, the eldest brother opened his mouth, wanting to justify something, but he didn't give the eldest brother a chance to speak out: "They are all good children of me, today I am very happy, remembering that the eldest brother has not been knighted, now it seems that the eldest brother will be named the king of the county, and the title will be Lu, and I will personally inscribe a plaque for your palace at that time, how about it?"

The eldest brother was confused, and he only knew that he was grateful: "The son has thanked the emperor Amaroun." ”
