Chapter 16: The Banquet

Every day the rooster crows, the palm lamp rests, Rao is these daughters who are not blessed with a family can not stand it, and gradually complains, wishful thinking is indifferent, she is not good at dancing, not good at painting, in the end can only make a poem, learn to be flat every day, in addition to being sleepy every day, it is okay.

There is also a woman, who has been quite close to Ruyi in recent days, is a woman who lives in the Cloud Shadow Pavilion opposite, named Moon Shadow, whose father is a county lieutenant in Tao County, Qingzhou, thinking that he will be promoted and make a fortune, so he pushed his daughter out.

Maybe Moon Shadow is as young as Ruyi, as if she has seen through the red dust, and it doesn't matter what it does, so that the two can get closer and closer.

When he came back that day, Moon Shadow came over and had dinner together, and the two maids, Yixu and Moon Shadow's maid, Kyaukjie, also stood together.

"How have you been? Maybe make a decent poem, but if you can't, I'll write one for you. Moon Shadow said lightly,

"No need good sister, I have my own play at the banquet, and if I write it out so early, I won't be amazing when the time comes." Ruyi returned.

"You, don't look at you older than me, or you're more eccentric, I'm not the weirdest." Moon Shadow said again.

"Let's not complain about each other, and we don't complain about the 10 flowers that say we, among the 12 people together, there are only you and I don't worry about the banquet, you are confident, nothing is difficult, I don't know anything, it doesn't matter" Ruyi slowly talked to Moon Shadow.

The two smiled heartily, and when dinner came up, they ate speechlessly. In the blink of an eye, it is a banquet, set in the evening, from the morning, the girls began to bathe and change clothes, and finally familiarize themselves with the court etiquette again, and finally go through the prepared program again, and finally see if the makeup is exquisite, a lot over and over again Finally, it has been in the afternoon, Ruyi found a plain light gray palace dress, and modified his disguise, and then called Yixu to come over to put on makeup, Yixu is a lively and active maid, came in and saw Ruyi's dress, and began to chatter, while helping Ruyi put on makeup, while saying

"Miss is wearing too plain, just now I saw that Xiao Pu in the Liuyun Zhai is holding the newly knitted clothes in the knitting bureau, the color, the fabric, are all new this year, not to mention others, just say that Jiaojie also chose a set of bright peach colors for his master, it is like there are clouds on it, it is very good-looking. By the way, and there's more... ”

"Stop, I don't want you to say this, don't say it, I'm not going to compare beauty, it's just a banquet."

"But Miss, tonight's banquet is attended by all important figures, it is said that officials and family members above 3 grades will also come, and the emperor will also come, once the time comes into the eyes of the emperor, you can generate a palace Niangniang, monopolize a palace, and there is no need for more than a dozen people to squeeze a small courtyard, even if the emperor can't see it, it's good to give a prince and a minister, and be the housewife, that is also very arrogant" Ruyi smiled,

"You, think so beautifully, I don't know if the more glamorous, the more dangerous it is, I don't want to fly Huang Tengda, you can live in peace. Okay? It seems that there are people calling outside" simply cleaned up, and followed the remaining 11 women to the Tea Pavilion, this place is a special banquet venue, but Ruyi they can't get in, they can only stay in the background, waiting for the summons, the people inside are all dignitaries, to say a disrespectful word, the people inside, wave your hand, the country may have to tremble, stomp your feet, the country will shake three times, as well as their wives and daughters and concubines of various grades, in addition to the big boss emperor, small boss queen, And a bunch of girls.

With such a high-level banquet, how could there be a place for them to have such a place to pay tribute, but it was already good that they were not put together with the Mairaku.

Listening to the people in front of me shouting long live, listening to the people in front of them handing over glasses and changing lamps, and then immediately after that, the ladies showed their skills, playing the wine order, dancing and playing the piano, there were also dancing knives and swords, and there were also those who worked in embroidery and calligraphy and painting.
