Chapter 85: Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet
Zhu Yuanshan has been on the other side of the gate, and his ears automatically block all the things on his wife's side.
The Wang family didn't get a bargain, so they could only pull their daughter Zhu Chenxi to hide aside.
Originally, the Wang family was very embarrassed this morning.
The old lady was still angry with her because of the birthday banquet. When she entered the palace for a banquet today, the old lady did not let her accompany her to Qingsong Courtyard.
This is tantamount to giving her a bad look in front of everyone in the palace.
The Wang family himself was anxious and didn't know how to make the old lady angry.
The daughter is not a worry-free person. I want to provoke Song Yi, but I can't get others, and I still have the face to cry?
Wang felt that his face was gloomy, and he wanted to teach his daughter a lesson.
But when he saw Zhu Chenxi's face red and swollen, Wang's heart softened again.
Wang sighed, looked at his aggrieved daughter, and hurriedly comforted his daughter.
finally coaxed her daughter to make up, and seeing that her daughter's makeup had been released, she asked someone to make up for Zhu Chenxi.
On the other side, Song Yi lost his temper and felt comfortable.
is even more high-spirited, and no longer cares about Zhu Yuanshan's family.
However, soon the old lady Du Shi and her party walked out.
The old lady Du Shi was wearing a first-class imperial uniform, with a pearl on her chest, and a dragon head crutch in her hand, surrounded by Zhu Yuanchuan's family, and slowly walked towards the gate of the palace.
Because Zhu Yuanchuan did not have an official title, neither he nor his wife and daughter received an invitation to this banquet in the palace.
However, because of the old lady Du's advanced age, the emperor's grace can let her take care of her younger generations.
The old lady Du did not like the Wang family, so she recently preferred the children of the Cao family. This palace banquet even let the fourth lady Zhu Shanlei accompany her into the palace.
Of course, the Cao family is a hundred willing, after all, her daughter will be in time for next year, and it will be good for her to participate in more big occasions like this and show her face, which will also be good for future marriages.
Zhu Shanlei is wearing new clothes, although her dress is not as gorgeous as Zhu Chenxi, but it is also fresh and elegant, which is very suitable for her age.
The two stand together, one introverted and the other flamboyant, with completely different temperaments.
Compared with the two, Zhu Shanlei's refreshing light makeup has a unique taste.
Although Song Yi doesn't like the old lady Du, the other party is also a first-class lady after all, and her level is much higher than Song Yi.
Song Yi saluted respectfully to the old lady.
Song Yi, before the old lady Du Shi met, realized that the other party had been reborn, completely different from half a year ago.
Seeing that Song Yi was getting better and better, she had a plan in her heart, but she didn't embarrass Song Yi all the time.
Song Yi saluted and waited aside.
As long as the true king comes out, everyone can set off together.
Fortunately, Song Yi and the others didn't wait long.
The real king Zhu Xi wore court clothes and court boots, and walked over heroically.
Song Yi peeked at the real king, he was still so personable, and there was no haze on his face at all.
The more Song Yi thought about it, the more angry he felt.
Why is it that the same person has insomnia all night, and it took a lot of money in the morning to come back with first aid.
But the real king looked like he was fine, he didn't look sad at all, and he was still so suave.
What Song Yi thinks in his heart, where does Zhu Xi know?
It was only when he got closer that he saw Song Yi wearing the jade pendant he gave him at a glance, and the boulder in his heart felt like it had fallen to the ground.
Last night, Zhu Xi ran away, and afterwards felt that he had no manly demeanor at all.
After going back, Zhu Xi tossed and turned and asked himself.
After hearing Song Yi say something like that at that time, why did he choose to escape?
Zhu Xi did not ask the answer.
One life and one couple? How horrific does it sound?
Zhu Xi has seen many men with three wives and four concubines since he was a child, and he has never questioned this matter.
He has always believed that men should be so fraternous and women should be submissive.
But Song Yi doesn't think so, she asks men to be single-minded and can only have one wife.
Zhu Xi was not confident that he could meet Song Yi's requirements. After all, there is still a long way to go. He wasn't sure if he could give up an entire forest for the sake of a woman.
Zhu Xi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't make up his mind. I got up late this morning, and I was the last to arrive.
Fortunately, no one dared to blame Zhu Xi.
After Zhu Xi arrived, the old lady only snorted lightly and didn't say anything.
After everyone arrived, everyone got into the carriage one after another.
The old lady Du got into the first carriage, followed by Zhu Yuanshan and Wang's carriage, followed by Song Yi's, followed by Zhu Chenxi and Zhu Shanhan's carriage.
The true king Zhu Xi rode a horse alone to open the way.
The real king's mansion and his party, Hao Hao Tang Tang went towards the palace.
Banquets were held in the palace, and luxurious carriages passed by in all directions of the capital.
When the people on the road saw the official carriage, they consciously avoided it.
Soon, Song Yi and the others came to the gate outside the palace.
Today, the gates of the palace have been opened, making it easier for guests to enter the palace for banquets.
Entering the outer city gate, they changed into a sedan chair in the palace, and came to the Zhonghe Hall through the palace gate.
This is a palace where guests can rest and wait.
Song Yi and the others went out in the morning, and only really entered the palace in the afternoon.
For such a long time, Song Yi was either not in the middle of the road, or he was waiting in line.
Fortunately, Xianglian prepared some pastries in advance, so that Song Yi could pad her stomach before entering the palace. Otherwise, Song Yi's body would really be unbearable for such a long time.
Although the Zhonghe Hall is not one of the three major halls in the palace, it is really not small.
Song Yi looked out in the flow of people, and there were no less than 200 people entering the palace for the banquet this time.
Xianglian and Chunxiang did not enter the palace, but stayed in the carriage at the gate of the outer city and waited. After entering the palace, Song Yi also took the initiative to separate from the old ladies of the True Prince's Mansion. Therefore, now Song Yi walks around with the crowd alone.
Song Yi followed the female dependents to the side hall of the Zhonghe Hall to rest.
The side hall for everyone to rest has been placed with tea, pastries, fashionable fruits and non-alcoholic wines.
Song Yi searched for a long time and didn't see an acquaintance, she thought she would see Du Shuyin. But she didn't find her in the hall, maybe there were too many people, Song Yi didn't see it.
Just when Song Yi was bored, "pop".
A palace maid accidentally knocked over a cup of piping hot tea.
Fortunately, Song Yi was quick and dodged, so he was not splashed with tea.
But the strange thing is that before Song Yi could ask for the guilt, the palace maid who missed the hand fell to the ground with a thud and apologized to Song Yi with very exaggerated movements.
Song Yi thought at first that everyone in the palace was like this, and if he didn't observe words and emotions in the palace and whispered his voice, he wouldn't live to get ahead.
It seems that these people are very exaggerated, but Song Yi thinks that this is their strategy to save their lives.
Song Yi did not blame the other party, nor did he get angry with her because the little palace maid's actions caused a strange look from the people around her.
Song Yi only regarded this incident as a small episode and did not take it to heart. Who knew that there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for her behind.
Although the spilled tea did not affect Song Yi, the people around thought that Song Yi was bullying a little palace maid, and it was inevitable that some people who did not know the truth pointed fingers at Song Yi.
In addition, Song Yi has been very famous recently, and many people recognized her at the first time.
So, three by two pointed behind his back, and Song Yi kept the sound of rustling in his ears.
Song Yi was distraught, so he left the hall and went outside the hall alone.
It wasn't until the unitary time that the father-in-law in charge asked everyone not to run around, and when they all entered the side hall to wait, Song Yi entered the hall again.
After another moment, the door of the palace opened, and the father-in-law led everyone in the hall out of the Zhonghe Hall again, and went to the main hall of the real banquet - the Baohe Palace.
On the platform outside the Baohe Palace, dozens of large round tables have long been placed.
Song Yi and the others were all arranged in the square. Male and female guests are seated at separate tables.
A dinner party, of course, is luxurious, but there is not much to talk about.
After all, Song Yi's identity can't enter the palace to drink with the emperor and queen. Although the banquet dishes were all the same, Song Yi could only see the vague shadow of the emperor from a distance outside the hall.
The dinner lasted until three o'clock. The Queen Mother left early, and then the emperor and the queen also left.
The prince and others were left in the palace, while Song Yi and the others outside the palace were much more relaxed, and many people also secretly left and took a walk in the imperial garden.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor is very merciful and let the palace people set up a place to admire the moon in the imperial garden. Guests attending the banquet can continue to admire the moon in the Imperial Garden after the banquet.
I heard that the emperor also arranged excerpts and fireworks performances to make the guests happy.
It can be said that there are still a lot of activities tonight.
Song Yi thought that she still had a period of free time, but she didn't expect that not long after leaving the table, a little palace maid found her and told her that the real king was waiting for her in the imperial garden.
Song Yi was a little suspicious at first, but saw that the other party took out a token - a silk handkerchief with an orchid on one side. Song Yi was very familiar with this silk handkerchief, so he dispelled his suspicions.
She thought that the true king had something to tell her alone, so she left everyone's sight with the palace maid who delivered the message.
