Chapter 21: Entering the Palace (2)
Emperor Xuanyuan Jing said a passage according to the usual practice, it is nothing more than that the ministers have worked hard for a year, and the royal family thanks you, and I hope that you will continue to work hard for the country and the people, and do your best.
The prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people are the common wish of everyone. What achievements have been made this year, what are the shortcomings, what are the goals for next year, and how to achieve them.
After speaking, the emperor raised his glass and drank three glasses of wine with the ministers, and then the queen presided over it, and the emperor withdrew with the support of the eunuchs.
Ansaihua whispered all the characters on the stage to Chen Anran. Taking advantage of the emperor's departure and the queen's speech, Chen Anran raised his head and glanced at the stage, the empty position in the middle was the emperor's, and the emperor's left hand sat on the Shangguan Queen, although she was in her fifties, but it was well maintained, she looked only in her forties, with a phoenix crown and a graceful atmosphere, her appearance was somewhat similar to Shangguan Fangfei, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she smiled, two small dimples, very attractive to those of those kinds, I heard that the queen and the emperor were childhood sweethearts, had deep feelings, and gave birth to the eldest prince, the second prince and the eldest princess.
Sitting on the left hand side of the queen is Concubine Zhou Yi, in her forties, the third prince, the biological mother of the fourth prince, Danfeng eyes and willow eyebrows, fierce and majestic, at first glance she is a strong woman.
Concubine Zhou Yi's left hand sat Concubine De, in her thirties, with a melon seed face, a pair of water-cut eyes, delicate and dusty, and an elegant temperament, like a fairy, this is the mother of the five princes.
Concubine De's left hand sat Concubine Shu, young and charming, with fox eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, shrewd and quick-witted, the biological mother of the Six Princes, and her father was General Xiahou Fei, the leader of the Southern Xinjiang Army, who was honest and resolute.
The eldest uncle is Xiao Bingyue, the secretary of the ministry, who is sleek and sophisticated. In general, the power of the mother's family is very strong. After the emperor left, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
Everyone toasted each other and chatted. Around six o'clock, the palace feast ended. The tableware in front of him was withdrawn, and a delicate tea set was placed, and at the same time, a palace maid was serving tea.
The queen began to preside over theatrical performances. According to the past practice, it was the sons and daughters of the ministers who performed on stage for everyone to enjoy and entertain, and at the same time, it was also a disguised blind date for young men and women.
The order of the performances has been set a long time ago, starting with the son of the old prince or the county lord. Ansaihua told Chen Anran that she didn't have to perform on stage.
Chen Anran's heart fell to the ground, and while enjoying the show relaxedly, he saw whether there was any water urchin agate in the gift given by the queen.
First, there was a program of five women, either singing and dancing, or playing the piano. Then there are the men's performances, or, or calligraphy and painting.
Each has its own characteristics, and they are all quite brilliant. The gifts given by the queen mother were either silk or gold products, and there was no jade at all, Chen Anran pursed his lips in disappointment, and said in his heart, "The queen, your old man is too stingy."
After watching it for a while, it is inevitable that I will get tired of aesthetics. Ancient people are indeed handsome, but except for princes, princesses, and generals, the temperament of others is not as good as that of modern big-name stars.
When Chen Anran felt bored, he caught a glimpse of the fifth prince getting up and leaving the seat. All right!
Here's your chance! Chen Anran told Ansaihua that she wanted to go to the toilet to make it easier. Ansaika said I'll go with you, so that you won't be able to find it.
Chen Anran thought about it, okay, it's better for the old lady to be willing to follow. Ansaihua's hand held Chen Anran's hand, and the mother and daughter sat on the edge of the women's table and walked out conveniently.
Chen Anran followed Ansaihua, looking at the direction of the five princes as he walked, and sure enough, he guessed correctly, the five princes were also moving in the same direction, and they were also "out of Gong"!
Wowhaha! Chen Anran was very happy. When they arrived at the land of the reincarnation of the five grains, the five princes entered the men's clean room in front, and when the five princes came out, it happened that An Saihua and Chen Anran arrived, Chen Anran saw that there was no one left and right, stepped forward and grabbed the wide sleeves of the five princes, stared at the five princes with a look, and said silently with his mouth
"I want to go to the palace vault and see what treasures there are, okay?" Ansaika didn't expect her daughter to be so bold, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly broke her daughter's hand.
"Enron, let go, this is the fifth prince, don't mess around."
"No, no, the five princes are good-looking, I want to be with the five princes!" Ansaihua thought that her daughter's brain was confused again, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly apologized to the fifth prince, and at the same time broke her daughter's hand and pulled Chen Anran into the women's clean room. Chen Anran followed his mother inside, while looking back at the five princes expectantly, and blinked secretly. After the second contact with the General's Mansion last time, the five princes already knew that Chen Anran was very good at acting disguises, he felt that Chen Anran was very interesting, and he was very willing to cooperate, and now he straightened the sleeves that were torn by Chen Anran; While looking up at Chen Anran, there was a trace of disdain on his face. The fifth prince thought that Chen Anran had to go to the treasury if he had anything important, considering that Chen Anran had saved himself, after hesitating for a while, he still secretly gave Chen Anran a look, which meant that he agreed, and Chen Anran was secretly happy in his heart. At the moment when I followed my mother into the clean room, I observed that the treetops not far away bounced slightly. Is there another show tonight?!
