Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 10 Feast

、、、、、、、

The first day of the first month of the second year of Yufeng is the first Spring Festival after the new monarch ascends the throne, so the banquet of the Qianqing Palace is particularly lively. Those eunuchs who served were even busier, and after the Empress Dowager and the concubines of the palace ascended to the throne, they began to arrange cold meals before the time began. On a huge banquet table, the dim sum and cold food of one color are full, and there are dozens of dishes. From Su cake abalone snail to milk sauce, from water shell urn vegetables to carved lacquer fruit boxes, the eunuchs were so busy that they were dizzy, lest something go wrong.

At the second moment of Xin Zheng, the chief eunuch Wang Hai ordered a hot meal to be served, but the soup meal had not been delivered for the time being, Rao was like this, and the scene was also spectacular. The boxes filled with all kinds of food and drink were sent like flowing water, coupled with the waiting banquet for the concubines, the Qianqing Palace was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere. At that time, it was still the third year of the emperor's mourning period, so the ritual music was still unused, but everyone had already abandoned such sad emotions, and just flattered the queen mother and the emperor with spirit.

In addition to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager sitting on the top, the east and west banquet tables were clearly arranged, with the concubines of the first emperor sitting on one side and the emperor's concubines sitting on the other. The east head is the concubines of the first emperor, the first table is Gonghui Imperial Concubine He Xueming, the second table is Yungui Concubine Ma, the third table is Concubine De Ma, Concubine Rong Zhou, and then down is Concubine Xi Fang and Concubine Xian Zhao. In addition, the first table in the west head is Concubine Lan Hai Ruolan, the second table is Concubine Xun Yue Qiyan and Concubine Chen Hongru, the third table is Concubine Rong Yana and Concubine Ming Xiu, and the last person to sit is Concubine Wan Ping. Several princes and princesses were still young, so they naturally followed their mothers to the banquet, and after the eunuchs entered the wine, Haoyang took a glass of wine in his hand and walked to his father with a smile and knelt down.

"Father. Today is the Spring Festival, Erchen hereby congratulates you on your long life! Hao Yang greeted respectfully, and his face was still full of energy. He's also a big man.

Although Hongru once told him that there was a prince toast in the past years, they were still young in this generation. Therefore, this year should have been exempted from this article, but he unexpectedly remembered it in his heart.

Feng Wuxian looked at his son, who looked like a little adult, and couldn't help but be happy, and actually stepped forward to take over the wine from his son. "It's hard for you to remember these rules, so I'll reward them. You're young. Later, I will pick up what I can use and use a few bites. Wine and other things are not the time when you touch them, and I have received your kindness first. ”

Hao Yang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw his father raise his glass and drink it all, and kowtowed neatly and said, "Thank you, father!" Today is the New Year, this is what the sons should do, and I wish the imperial grandmother good health, and the queen mother Jin'an! He probably didn't think about it completely in advance, and these few words were a little nondescript, but the Queen Mother Xiao was still amused, and casually gave a portable jade pendant away.

On the side, Queen Hai Ruoxin also showed a knowing smile. Funny and praised: "Such a little old child is so sensible, the queen mother and the emperor really didn't hurt him in vain." Previously, he read with Mr. Xi, but now it is different. It's time for the emperor to choose a suitable master for him. She said these words appropriately, although Hao Yang is not a prince, but at the age of almost eight years, he should indeed find another Master, so as not to delay his future growth.

"Hmm. The queen has a point. The Empress Dowager Xiao Shi also smiled on the side, "Haoyang has laid a good foundation, now it is time to find a Hongru to train well, and he must be a prince who can be used to protect the sky in the future." Emperor, you should discuss with a few ministers, and be sure to find a reliable person. ”

The Queen Mother spoke, and Feng Wuxian hurriedly agreed, and all the concubines below were thinking about the intention. The young Haoyang didn't understand this, and when he heard that his father was going to choose another good teacher for him, he immediately pursed his mouth, and he didn't seem to be very happy. In his opinion, Xiyuan Li is naturally the best master.

Ji Yue saw that her brother had won the lottery, so she was naturally not far behind, and stepped forward to stutter vigorously for a while, and she successfully deceived a string of agate Buddha beads from Queen Hai Ruoxin, and was naturally excited for a while. He Xueming knew her identity, and she also flattered the Queen Mother for a while, but it made the few concubines sitting under her frequently look sideways. Concubine De Lan is the mother of Feng Wuyan, but she was implicated by her son and became a convicted concubine, so even if she was promoted to Feng, she didn't get much benefit, but her rank was one level lower than that of Yungui Concubine Ma, and she was already a little unhappy in her heart. She has always been arrogant and domineering, but she only restrained herself because of her son's crime, but at this time, she couldn't help it.

"This Spring Festival is a day of family reunion, and everyone is happy." She suddenly spoke, "The emperor's pair of precious children are indeed painful, and they are really blessed by the queen mother and the emperor." But the concubine's life is miserable......"

Before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother Xiao's face changed, and at this time, when this kind of thing happened, the Lan family really didn't look at it. However, Xiao's status is different from the past, and getting angry easily will inevitably hurt the atmosphere at this time, so he interrupted lightly: "Sister Lan doesn't have to be too sad, that was the will of the first emperor back then, even the emperor can't easily change it, not to mention that it is still in the three-year mourning period, and there is no reason to change the arrangement of the first emperor." If you really miss your son, you can ask for a special order for you, and you will be done with a visit. If there is a real opportunity in the future, the emperor will remember the brotherly love, and maybe he will also be forgiven. Now is the time when everyone is happy, so don't talk about it. ”

A few words that were neither soft nor hard made Lan Shi speechless, so he could only agree, and then wiped his tears by himself, but his heart was full of fire. Concubine Ma Shi, who was Yungui on the side, hurriedly interrupted: "There have been several heavy snowfalls in the winter this year, and the concubines are thinking that it must be very lively outside. She is an honest person, and she stopped talking and had to look at He Xueming's round.

He Xueming naturally knew what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "Although it is a good year for Ruixue, the concubine thinks that those small people may not be able to survive this cold winter smoothly. Now charcoal fires have already been lit in our palaces, burning the earth dragon, but many people outside are still starving and freezing, so they want to ask the emperor for a favor and let Shuntianfu help him. Her words were reasonable, not only diverting the topic but also playing things by the way, and all the concubines who listened to Feng Wuxian nodded secretly.

Although Feng Wuxian had already learned from the fold that the heavy snow near the capital had caused a disaster, he still couldn't help but admire He Xueming's eagerness. He nodded and said, "Aunt He doesn't have to worry, I have already ordered Yin Yangzhen of the Shuntian Mansion to handle this matter, presumably the porridge field at this time has already started to help." Even those whose houses were crushed by the snow were sheltered and resettled. When he saw the different expressions of the concubines over there, he didn't know what they were thinking, but he didn't bother to pay attention to these things.

Xiao Fangzi, who was waiting on Feng Wuji's side, suddenly saw someone waving to him by the side door, and his expression seemed to be quite anxious, so he gently asked the master, and then ran over there with a smoke. I saw that the person who came was Liu Qi, the little eunuch who was waiting in the upper room, holding a letter with a bright yellow cover in his hand, and said breathlessly: "Father-in-law Fang, this is an urgent letter sent from the southwest, and several adults in the upper room are in a hurry to let the servants send it over, saying that it is the good news of a great victory, so that the emperor can be happy and happy." ”

Xiao Fangzi was stunned for a moment, and was immediately overjoyed, and after praising Liu Qi for a few words, he took the music and folded it into the hall. At this time, it was the time for the emperor to reward the queen and the concubines with wine, and I saw a group of concubines raising their glasses and drinking the wine together, and the warblers and swallows were grateful. He walked to the emperor in three or two steps, and after a few words of softness, he knelt down and presented the recital. The concubines were stunned when they saw this, and their faces were a little unnatural, lest there was any disturbing news at this time.

After listening to Xiao Fangzi's two words, Feng Wuji's brows, which were still a little locked, stretched out, and he hurriedly unfolded the twist. At first glance, he was immediately overjoyed, and his eyebrows fluttered. "Okay, good, it's really worthy of Zhan Pohan!" He suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, "Within a month, two states and one county have been recovered, and only two counties have yet to be recovered, I really didn't see the wrong person!" ”

The Empress Dowager Xiao was originally suspicious, but at this time, she couldn't help but be happy when she saw the good news ahead. "The mourning family thought that someone had disturbed the emperor at this moment, it turned out that those courtiers wanted to report good news to the emperor, no wonder they were gods and ghosts." She smiled and said to the concubines, "The emperor gave such a good omen for the first banquet today, and it is also your blessing, why don't you hurry up and beg your master, so as to ask for good luck?" ”

The concubines didn't know how to be interested, and hurriedly stepped forward one by one to congratulate, and it was very lively for a while. Congratulations to the imperial concubine He Xueming as if she had a fun time to congratulate the Queen Mother Xiao, and brought other concubines to have fun, so that this New Year banquet had a real joy.

After all the meals were served, a few little eunuchs pondered the master's expression, and after asking Shi Liushun, the eunuch of the six palaces, they hurriedly entered the fruit table. First presented to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, then the Empress and the Imperial Concubine Gonghui, and then the concubines. After the banquet was over, the concubine knelt down to send the queen mother and the emperor back to the palace, and then they returned to the palace one by one.

That night, Feng Wuxian rested in Kunning Palace, he has always stayed in the Qinzheng Palace at night, and the number of concubines and concubines has decreased. Both of them were people who hadn't been warm for a long time, and they suddenly lingered for a while. For a long time, the two people who had passed the passion lay face to face, but no one said a word.

"Your Majesty, you have also seen Concubine De's behavior today, there is no son in this harem, it is really worse than anything." Hai Ruoxin finally spoke, and there was a trace of sadness in her words, "Although you and I are married and married, we even promised our grandfather to inherit Hai's cigarettes, but my sister and I still don't have any children." ”

Feng Wuxian saw that Hai Ruoxin was sad, so he could only comfort him: "Xin'er, don't worry too much, your sister is still young after all, aren't you?" As if he had thought of something again, he gently lifted Hai Ruoxin's smooth chin and teased, "It's not the same as the smoke hasn't moved for a long time, and now I'm also pregnant, rest assured, I promise that you will have a smart and wise son." After saying that, he showed a meaningful smile, and hugged Hai Ruoxin in his arms with his backhand, "The days ahead are still long, you don't need to be anxious now."
