Chapter 7 New Year's Feast

On the night of promotion, there was no concubine to sleep, and I was also the first, so I don't know how many people laughed at it in secret. In this way, it has overshadowed the limelight of my promotion before I went to bed. My life is calm again.

Recently, the focus of everyone's attention in the palace has long been shifted from who is sleeping today, because it is about to be Chinese New Year's Eve.

According to the rules, on Chinese New Year's Eve, a New Year's banquet will be held in the palace of Changxing Hall, and all concubines and royal relatives will attend. Almost every year, there is a talent show, which is a link where opportunities and risks coexist. If you are lucky, you can soar to the sky, and if you are unlucky, you can be beaten into the cold palace. said that it is a talent competition, of course, the competition is not only talent, but also scheming and means.

On this day, Yin'er came to me.

"Sister, have you thought of what to perform at the New Year's Banquet?" Yin'er asked me as soon as she walked in the door.

"I didn't want to perform at the New Year's feast, what about you?" I'm not very concerned about that.

"I want to play the lute, but I'm afraid I won't be able to play it well. Sister, are you okay with me. Yin'er pulled my arm and coquettishly.

"No need, you know I'm not a showy person, my sister believes that you can."

"Sister~ Then can you help me think of a new tune?" Yin'er's voice was a little aggrieved.

"New tunes? My sister is good at the zither, and I'm afraid the tune I think of is not very suitable for the pipa. Your lute is very good, think for yourself which song is suitable for celebration. I touched Yin'er's hand to comfort her.

"Okay sister, then you have to help me after I choose~"

"That's inevitable." I smiled at her.

"Sister, I'll go back first, sister goodbye." After saying that, Yin'er walked out.

——Time Dividing Line——

"Mother, are you going to play this year?" Chun Ying asked Liu Yuyang cautiously.

"Hmph, although there is a new person in the palace, but the palace is deeply favored by my cousin, why bother to compete with that lowly person, it is really a loss of identity." Liu Yuyang was very disdainful of this, but she forgot that she was also promoted to the position of concubine on the emperor's birthday three years ago with her talents.

"But Niangniang, what if..."Haru Sakura seemed to remember something, and quickly stopped her mouth.

"Hmph, there won't be a case, are you ready for what this palace asked you to prepare?"

"Back to Niangniang, everything is ready, and she will definitely never be able to turn over again."

"Good."

I see how you will seduce your cousin in the future, huh!

Soon, it was Chinese New Year's Eve. This day is the last day of the year, and all the concubines who have positions have come to the palace of the Queen Mother to say goodbye.

"Concubines, see Queen Mother."

Everyone said in unison, only the emperor and the queen can call the queen mother the queen mother, which is the queen's prerogative. In the final analysis, in ordinary people's homes, we are just concubines, even the noble concubine Liu Yuyang, in this formal occasion did not dare to call the queen mother as bold as in the past.

"Arise, give a seat. Come over and sit beside the mourning family. The Queen Mother beckoned to Liu Yuyang as she spoke.

"Auntie, you're going to make the other sisters jealous~"

In front of the Queen Mother, Liu Yuyang seems to always be so lively and naïve.

"Whoever dares to disagree and ask her to come and talk to the mourning family, the mourning family will not believe it, and some people dare to say that yours is not!" Xu is for the sake of the power of the mother family, the queen mother is very protective of Liu Yuyang, she has always wanted the emperor to appoint Liu Yuyang as the new queen.

"The concubine doesn't dare." The crowd hurriedly got up and made amends.

"It's okay if you don't dare, you all remember to the mourning family, Yang'er is a concubine and the niece of the mourning family, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to her, the mourning family will never spare her!"

"Yes."

"Alright, let's all sit down."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Sun Jieyu, come over and let the mourning family take a look."

Sun Qi stepped forward and stood respectfully in front of the Queen Mother.

"Okay, okay, you're two months pregnant, you have to take good care of yourself on weekdays, and give birth to a big fat grandson for the mourning family as soon as possible." Maybe it's what the elders have in common, and they're always very kind to the younger generations who are pregnant.

"Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, everything is fine with the concubine." Xu said what Sun Qi was thinking, and her face was a little red.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuyang's face was a little unbearable, she had been in the palace for a long time, but she had never been pregnant, although she was now pampered, she had no heirs and was always a little lacking in confidence.

yes, big fat grandson! There is no emperor and grandson in the palace, if Sun Qi is a prince, although he is a concubine, no one can guarantee that he will not become the new emperor. There have never been many emperors who are serious descendants! The concubine can only add some political chips to him.

After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother asked us to step down.

When the time for the New Year's banquet came, everyone came to the Changxing Hall one after another.

When I arrived, most of the people had not yet come, after all, I was not in a high position, and I had not been favored, so it was better to come earlier, so as not to let people seize the handle.

I sat down far from the Lord's seat.

Gradually, the number of people in the temple increased.

"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! Jade Guifei has arrived! ”

"See the emperor, the queen mother, the concubine." The crowd saluted.

Liu Yuyang and Li Yiqian supported the Queen Mother left and right, like a pair of beautiful people. But I didn't know that this was originally a privilege that only queens could enjoy. However, this is a family banquet, and everyone knows that Liu Yuyang is favored, and they know that his background is strong, so they all pretend to turn a blind eye.

"Flat."

Sending the Queen Mother to the seat, Li Yiqian stood in front of the highest seat and motioned for everyone to be flat.

"Today is a family feast, and you don't need to be polite."

"Come on, sing and dance."

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen this girl in this palace and Yan'er for a long time, I don't know if I can allow her to sit at the same table with this palace?" As soon as Li Yiqian's words fell, the eldest princess Zhiqin couldn't help but speak.

"My aunt is serious, and they are all a family. In that case, Yan'er, go and sit down with your aunt. As he spoke, Li Yiqian waved his hand below, and someone from the palace moved Wu Yuyan's seat to the eldest princess of Zhiqin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Yuyan saluted Li Yiqian and sat down on the seat of the eldest princess of Zhiqin.

The table for the banquet is usually very large, so although there is an additional person, it does not look crowded.

Is this the eldest princess? It is rumored that the eldest princess Zhiqin and her husband General Zhaohui were stationed at the border after marriage, and they have not returned to Beijing for many years, don't you want to return to Huajing this year? Something must be going on.

After singing and dancing, Liu Yuyang stood up.

"Your Majesty, all the sisters have also prepared a show, why don't you let them try it too?"
