Chapter 15: Mid-Autumn Festival (1)

The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a reunion festival for the people, but also an important festival for the royal family. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is even different from the past, in addition to arranging the canonization ceremony of the two concubines, the most important thing is that today's dinner emperor first wants to feast on the important ministers of the court in the Chengguang Palace, not only that, but even the two princes who have traveled abroad have also rushed back and will attend the banquet tonight; At the same time, the harem ladies and the court wives and family members feasted and drank in the Anchang Palace, and the banquet began and ended, and the emperor would bring the concubines who were favored by the harem to Penglai Island in the center of the Taiye Pool to admire the moon and eat moon cakes to show the harmony of the palace.

In the morning, the canonization ceremony of Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Lan was completed, and in the afternoon, the queen had to prepare for the dinner, so she was naturally very busy, but fortunately, Concubine Yi and Concubine Xian were assistants. The Shang Palace Bureau, which had been busy for a month for this canonization and festival before, except for the imperial dining room that was also responsible for the banquet food, the other three divisions were temporarily relieved, and they could also relax a little tonight.

Dressed in a silver embroidered butterfly gilded auspicious dress, Li Jingxi knelt at the canonization ceremony to listen to the queen's teachings, at this time she was already a little tired in the palace, but she had no time to rest and immediately prepare the makeup for the dinner. Because the crown prince would also attend the banquet in the evening, Amber came to Guanju Palace early, on the one hand, to talk to the old master, and on the other hand, to see if there was anything she could help with Li Jingxi. The dinner was attended by Liuli and Li Jingxi, and Amber was also present, so in the evening, Lixi gave Zimo a vacation, so that she and the palace people in the palace could have a good holiday, and Zimo was also happy and relaxed.

"Niangniang, the slave maid will comb your hair again, this auspicious dress can't be changed, but the hairstyle can still be changed." Amber still humbly calls herself a slave in front of Li Jingxi, and Li Jingxi has also said that she has been said several times, but she just can't change it, and over time, Li Jingxi will go with her.

"Okay, this high vertebral bun gives the palace a headache, so let's comb the butterfly love flower bun. Although Zimo has learned from you, I always feel that you still look the best. Amber didn't say much, and immediately started to break up the curvy hair, and combed it again little by little, and the two chatted while combing their hair. In the chat, the princess learned that the crown princess Xia Yunxi was diagnosed as pregnant when she asked for peace this morning, and the prince was very happy and rewarded the palace people up and down the Lintoe Palace. This is the prince's first child, and it is natural for him to be happy, and it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, which can be described as double happiness. Seeing that Amber was saying that Xia Yun was pregnant, there was no jealousy in her eyes at all, but instead she was full of blessings and expectations, and she could really be sure that Amber's days in the Lintoe Palace were really comfortable, and she also got along well with the crown prince and the princess.

"Seeing that you and the prince are doing well, this palace is really happy for you in my heart." She patted Amber's hand movingly, and Amber in the mirror was also slightly moist. Amber felt that it was not appropriate to cry on today's happy day, so she told an interesting story from the palace of the king of Thailand: King Duan Yingbi of Thailand has been in a bad relationship with Princess Yang Yiqing of Thailand since his wedding, and I heard that Yang Yiqing is arrogant and full of books, and he does not like the cynical and unruly style of the King of Thailand, so he is very cold to him. Every time the King of Thailand wanted to get close to him, Yang Yiqing used excuses to dodge nine times out of ten, and the relationship between the husband and wife became worse and worse over time. No, less than two months after getting married, the king of Thailand carried two concubines into the palace from outside. Strange to say, these two girls have a common characteristic, that is, although they are beautiful, they are dumbfounded, and they are as dull as if they have no soul. The king of Thailand used this two daughters to sarcastically mock Yang Yiqing as cold and unkind, in order to humiliate Yang Yiqing, he also deliberately named the two concubines Qing Ji and Yi Ji.

Although the wife and the noble lady regarded this matter as a joke after dinner, Amber couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw the prince worrying about her brother, and even blamed the king of Thailand for his nonsense. While combing her graceful hair into a butterfly-shaped bun, she said worriedly: "Others laughed when they heard this, but the prince was really worried about the King of Thailand." The king of Thailand has started a family, and those previous styles should also be reined in, if it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will inevitably be another reprimand. The prince and the king of Thailand are compatriots, and the king of Thailand is reprimanded, which is also the prince's fault. Now that the crown princess is pregnant, the prince really shouldn't be allowed to worry about this kind of thing. ”

"You feel sorry for the prince. The King of Thailand's temperament has also been spoiled by his father and brother since he was a child. However, this is always a private matter of the Thai Royal Palace, and we should not put our beaks on it. The King of Thailand and the Princess of Thailand are young, and their tempers are stubborn, so it would be good to wait for a long time and run in. "Actually, but looking at the fact that the king of Thailand used two wives and concubines to gamble with Yang Yiqing, I am afraid that the king of Thailand still cares a little about Yang Yiqing, otherwise there is no need to spend so much time.

"I hope so. The slave maid has seen the princess of Thailand a few times, but she is really a strange woman with a clear and jade temperament and an arrogant temperament, and if the slave maid is the king of Thailand, she must not be able to bear to make such a woman sad. Amber put on her favorite pair of gold silk and purple beaded lotus flower tassels to cover her sideburns, inserted two gold-edged purple jade sandalwood hairpins, and finally pressed the purple silk ribbon hanging down the back of her head with butterfly luxury.

The two chatted and chatted until the time when the banquet was approaching, so they sorted out and called Liuli to go to Anchang Hall together.

When Li Jingxi and his party arrived at Anchang Palace, there were already many people in the hall, and many of them even saw Jingxi for the first time. As soon as she entered the palace, except for the queen and the four concubines, the rest of the concubines and wives all got up and gave her a blessing ceremony, which made the concubine a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly exempted everyone, and then was led to the seat by Miaoqing, the palace maid in charge of the queen's palace, and Amber also sat behind the crown princess Xia Yunxi. And the princess of Thailand, Yang Yiqing, and the princess of Jin, Feng Qing, who were next to Xia Yunxi, just sat dryly, Yang Yiqing probably had a cold and unsociable personality, and the other one was afraid that he was very proud and disdained to greet people.

Sitting on the top of Li Jingxi was actually the concubine Zheng Jiye, who had been ill for a long time, and after the concubine and Zheng Jiye saw each other, she casually asked her about her recent situation: "Is the lady concubine's body better?" The weather is fine tonight, but you should also be careful not to catch the cold. Zheng Jiye is only one year older than the queen, but because of her long-term illness, she is pale and thin, and her thin face is matched with a plain twisted gold and silver thread slippery silk brocade skirt on her body today, which makes her look older than her actual age.
