Chapter 16: The Annual Banquet

In the early morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Siyan and Chen Jingsui dressed in Chinese clothes and walked out of the Anwang Mansion together, and this time she and Chen Jingsui each took a sedan chair to the palace.

Heavy palace gates, etiquette, behind Mu Siyan and Chen Jingsui, the nerves of the brain were straightened, for fear that one would accidentally step on the wrong one.

Fortunately, Chen Jingsui has always been by his side, for some reason as long as he is by his side, he feels very down-to-earth, the royal family relatives meet one by one, Mu Siyan sat down and sat down, it was already night, she only felt that her legs were weak, and it took a while to ease up, and looked around: the lights were bright, the night was like day, the planning was staggered, the sheng song was deaf, the stove was burning spices, the green smoke was curling, and a faint fragrance was refreshing, Mu Siyan sighed secretly: What a royal atmosphere.

The concubines, princesses, princesses, and princesses of the palace gradually arrived, and they sat in order. The sound of music stopped suddenly, and Mu Siyan saw a group of little eunuchs walking into the hall quickly, standing on both sides, and a voice came from far and near: "The emperor has arrived, and Concubine Chen has arrived!" ”

Everyone got up and bowed one after another, and said in unison: "The concubines (sons, brothers, and daughters-in-law) knock to see Your Majesty, Wanfu Jin'an, Concubine Chen, a thousand years old!" ”

After Chen Qiyuan and Concubine Chen sat down side by side, Chun Fu shouted loudly: "Excuse me, get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

Chen Qiyuan looked around and said with a smile: "Let's all sit down, it's rare for a family to get together for the holidays, you all have to be casual, don't be formal!" ”

Everyone said in unison: "No! ”

After Mu Siyan sat down, she glanced at the situation in the banquet opposite, although Chen Qiyuan said that everyone did not have to be formal, but the imperial brother and others did not dare to be bad at all, for fear that one would make a mistake and anger the emperor, and they were full of politeness between each other.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively, and several young emperors and grandsons did not have a determination, they really couldn't sit still, and they ran around the hall, and the harmful nurses chased after them.

Several princes raised their glasses one after another, among which the king of Shang and the king of Anding were the loudest. Although the emperor's younger brother, King Yan, and King Liu, toasted each other and greeted each other politely, there was a little more hypocrisy between laughter.

Seeing that everyone was playing and no one was taking care of herself, she was also very happy and poured herself a drink. coincided with a grand event, how could you have wronged yourself.

When he looked around, Mu Siyan's eyes suddenly met Chen Jingsui, seeing him walking slowly, he felt bored and deliberately avoided it, poured himself a glass of wine, and when he raised his eyes, he was already standing in front of him, and asked with a low smile: "Lord Wang, why don't you continue to play with them?" ”

After returning to his seat, Chen Jing took the wine jug, poured himself a lamp, smiled playfully, and deliberately approached: "This king is afraid that you will drink too much and make a mistake, so he specially came to supervise." ”

Mu Siyan deliberately twisted her head, as if she was extremely unappreciative.

After singing and dancing, Chen Qiyuan seemed to be in a good mood, and Concubine Chen was talking and laughing with him. Suddenly, I saw her put down the wine cup and called: "Jingyu, come here, Your Majesty has something to ask you." ”

Everyone returned to their seats, and Mu Siyan saw the king of Anding County walking forward, kneeling on the ground with wine, and greeting: "Father, you don't call Erchen, Erchen also wants to come over to toast. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine.

"Okay, it's rare for you to be filial." Chen Qiyuan took a sip of wine and asked with a smile: "Jing Yu, how old should you be after the New Year?" ”

"Father, the son is sixteen!"

Concubine Chen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Jing Yu is also a big boss, it's time to set up a side concubine for him, so that he can take care of his temperament!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Siyan's eyes turned to Chen Jingyu, only to see him lower his head, his face flushed, as if he was reluctant, and he wanted to speak and stopped.

She saw that Concubine Chen didn't know what she was muttering in Chen Qiyuan's ear, so she coaxed him to smile, stroked his beard, and said loudly: "Well, it's indeed a good match." ”

When Chen Jingyu heard this, he suddenly looked up at Chen Qiyuan and Concubine Chen, looking nervous, clutching the wine cup.
