The palace banquet is held in the evening, and it is enough to enter the palace at four o'clock in the afternoon. All morning, Chen Anran was learning court etiquette from the old lady sent by Ansaihua, the old lady was very strict, the walking step distance should not be greater than one palm, the body was upright, soft and flexible, kneeling without sound and elegant, what kind of salute when he saw someone, how to answer when asked by others, etc.

Chen Anran studied very seriously, and she didn't want to get into trouble because of etiquette issues. But she refused to kneel to learn, and in modern society, she knelt when her parents died, only once.

She can't accept kneeling in her heart, no matter how high the other party's status is, she doesn't kneel.

She panicked and said that her knees hurt and she couldn't kneel, and the old lady couldn't do anything about her. After eating lunch and sleeping for a while, Chen Anran was woken up by Yahuan Ruyi and Shuxin, and wanted to take a bath, change clothes, and dress up.

Chen Anran told Shu Xin that he entered the palace for the first time, so he should not be too brilliant. Clothes and jewelry are as long as they are passable.

Shu Xin looked at the sets of luxurious clothes on the bed, boxes of rich and atmospheric jewelry, puffed out his cheeks, and whispered

"Okay, just according to Miss's", she picked out a simple sky blue cotton skirt and put it on Chen Anran, with white snow lotus embroidered on the skirt.

Ruyi combed Chen Anran with a simple hairstyle on his head, two strands of black hair hung down on his shoulders, and the top of his hair was a hosta inlaid with cat's eye gemstones given by his second brother, which was simple and atmospheric.

Chen Anran looked at himself in the mirror, with an apricot face and peach cheeks, moist skin like jade, long eyelashes like a fan, and eyebrows like Yuandai.

A pair of starry eyes are clear and bright, and under the small Joan nose are the same thin lips as her brothers, and the corners of her lips are slightly upturned, revealing a bit of cleverness and cuteness.

Chen Anran rolled her eyes, pinched her pink little face, and opened her small mouth to reveal two rows of teeth, she was quite satisfied with her cute and cute appearance!

After packing up, he came to the gate of the mansion with Yahuan Shuxin, and saw that his father and mother and the eldest brother and second brother were already waiting in the carriage at the gate of the mansion.

The eldest brother and the second brother shook her hand and easily pulled her into the car. For safety reasons, the eldest brother and the second brother of the father and mother and Chen Anran sat in the same wide carriage.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the palace, and when I got out of the car, the majestic and splendid palace was in front of me. The heavy palace door opened, and on both sides stood the palace guards, both men and women, who were inspecting all those who entered the palace.

Chen Anran followed his father and brother into the palace gate, and after inspection, walked along a palace road. Chen Anran's excitement was written on his face.

Although I have seen the imperial palace on TV, and the Forbidden City has also been there, it is not as good as this real palace, where the real emperor and concubines, princes and princesses live, and the majesty is manifested in every building, flying in every air molecule.

She was like a curious baby, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was slightly open, her eyes were not enough, and she was looking east and west.

The eldest brother patted Chen Anran's shoulder and said to Chen Anran with his mouth

"It's almost there, be careful." Chen Anran stuck out his tongue, immediately lowered his head obediently, and walked according to the posture taught by his grandmother.

The eldest brother looked at her and smiled dotingly. My sister's brain has recovered and she is even cuter than before!

When we arrived at the Lama Temple, the place of tonight's palace banquet, the male and female guests were seated under the rostrum on both sides, the rostrum was a few feet higher than the seats below, and there were twenty chairs behind the table covered with red silk.

Chen Anran and Ansainhua sat in the second row of female guests together. Chen Anran was next to the fifteen-year-old Shangguan Fangfei, the daughter of the prime minister of Shangguan, and the two families had a good relationship, Shangguan Fangfei saw Chen Anran coming over and took the initiative to say hello.

Shangguan Fangfei's right hand is her mother. Chen Anran met Shangguan Fangfei and Shangguan Lady under the guidance of his mother.

The first row of female guests sat all the daughters of the prince, and the second row and the back were the daughters of the first-class and second-class ministers.

My father also sat in the second row. There is still an hour left before the palace banquet. Everyone came first and waited for the royal people to appear.

After half an hour, the palace maid began to make dishes. One after another, the little palace maids came over with plates, wine glasses, etc., all dressed in the same way, and their hairstyles were the same, all of them were beautiful little girls in their teens.

Chen Anran carefully studied the ceramic plates and bowls, jade spoons and chopsticks in front of him, all of which were living ancient relics.

I was studying it, and I heard the eunuch sing

"The Six Princes of the East China Sea! The Three Princes of the Southern Rain Kingdom! The Four Princes of Xisha Kingdom! The Seven Princes of the Northern Snow Country have arrived! Before the words fell, four handsome young men walked side by side with a smile, and the ministers and family members in the audience hurriedly got up to greet each other, and the four of them first waved to the audience, and then went to the right side of the rostrum to sit down in order.

Ansaihua whispered to Chen Anran that these four countries and the Central Continent country all had princes as protons to exchange with each other.

Chen Anran nodded, this is an important piece of information. Then the eunuch sang again

"Your Highness! Second Highness! Three Highnesses! The Fourth Highness has arrived! All the people in the audience and the four foreign princes stood up to greet them, and the four princes walked in one after the other and sat down next to the four foreign princes. Chen Anran, like everyone, secretly raised his eyes to observe the four princes, the eldest prince was middle-aged, slightly blessed, and his face was peaceful. The second prince is mature and steady, mighty and resolute. The third prince is young and vigorous, with eagle eyes and a harrier nose, and a fierce face. The fourth prince was smiling and gentle. Chen Anran thought in his heart that the second prince was indeed more suitable to be the emperor. In less than five minutes, the eunuch began to sing again

"The fourth princess, the fifth princess, the sixth princess have arrived!" Then three little girls dressed up in fancy clothes walked over hand in hand.

And the crowd stood up again to salute. Ansaihua told Chen Anran that there were three princesses over the age of fifteen, all of whom were already married.

Only princesses between the ages of ten and fifteen can make it to the podium. The three princesses sit in order on the leftmost chairs.

After another ten minutes, the eunuch sang again

"Your Majesty, the queen and the concubines have arrived!" At this time, everyone in the audience knelt down, and Chen Anran squatted on the ground, his knees covered with a cotton skirt, and he couldn't easily see it.

The emperor sat down on the throne before speaking

"Flat". Everyone dared to get up. Chen Anran lowered his head, and took advantage of a palace maid cloth dish to block part of himself, before he raised his head and quickly glanced at the center of the rostrum.

She had been an agent in her previous life and was trained in human observation. With just one glance, she found that the emperor's seal hall was dark, with yellow eyes and thinning hair.

There is a high probability that it will be caused by long-term use*. At present, the poison has entered the heart and lungs, and it is irretrievable. Removing the sharp edge from the bottom of his eyes, Chen Anran lowered his head and continued to study the food utensils in front of him.
