Chapter 128: Chinese New Year's Eve Family Banquet
Qiaoxin's hands and mouth stopped, she didn't speak, and continued to eat.
Mrs. Liu saw the sadness in her eyes.
Let's talk about Hao Yu. After she sent off her ingenuity, she hurried back to the princess's mansion.
At this time, Han Shuozhi had already changed his clothes, arranged the carriage, and anxiously paced around the door of the main hall. From time to time, he paused, looking out anxiously.
A maid hurriedly ran over: "Pony, the princess is back!" ”
"Princess Ben is back!" Behind the maid came the voice of Hao Yu.
Hao Yu hurriedly ran in.
Pingdong followed behind her, shouting loudly as she ran: "Princess, slow down, don't fall!" ”
As soon as Pingdong's words fell, he heard an "oops", Hao Yu ran too anxiously, and fell down carelessly.
Han Shuozhi and Pingdong hurriedly ran over to help her up. But Hao Yu is a female general after all, and she immediately got up.
"You crow's mouth, come over and change my clothes!" Hao Yu glared at Pingdong, pulled his legs and ran in.
Pingdong smiled embarrassedly, stuck out her tongue, and ran in as well.
Although Hao Yu often doesn't take a maid out, there are also personal maids.
Pingdong has been by Haoyu's side since she was a child, although most of the time she was ordered not to follow.
The two grew up together, and Pingdong and Hao Yu were the same age. Perhaps because of this reason, Pingdong is not as well-behaved as the maid of the people's family. She is always neither big nor small in front of Hao Yu.
Of course, it is only limited to Hao Yu. She didn't dare in front of others. Because only Hao Yu spoils her and gets used to her.
Han Shuozhi was already accustomed to Hao Yu's appearance. However, he didn't want her to be ridiculed by the queen again because she was late.
At this time, the carriage of the Chu Palace's palace was almost to the imperial city.
Sitting in the carriage for a long time, there is a feeling of sitting on pins and needles. She shouldn't be nervous, she felt uneasy.
Yun Chuhan saw what was in her mind for a long time, and didn't say anything, just stretched out her hand and held her hand.
Li Jiujiu wanted to pull his hand out, but Yun Chuhan clenched it tightly.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Yun Chuhan stretched out his other hand and held the other hand that had been away for a long time.
"There must be a lot of annoying guys at the family dinner here. Don't worry, I'm here. If someone embarrasses you, I won't care. ”
Yun Chuhan's hands were very warm, and his words were also very warm, which actually made Li Jiujiu feel a lot more at ease. Her tense nerves relaxed a lot.
It turns out that there is someone who is willing to stand with you, which is so reassuring.
"I don't care about other people's eyes, but I'm afraid that the emperor will have opinions about me, and I'm afraid that the queen will use this to attack the concubine. Moreover, I always feel sorry for Lord Chen. Lijiujiu whispered.
Yun Chuhan suddenly let go of a hand and hugged Li Jiujiu into his arms: "You really don't mind the strange eyes next to you?" ”
Leaned on Yun Chuhan's arms for a long time. Actually, she wanted to push him away. However, forget it this time, for the sake of him just speaking so nicely, let's reluctantly lean into his arms.
"Actually...... There's still a little bit of it. I'm not afraid, though. However, aren't you afraid of being affected by me? Lijiujiu whispered.
Yun Chuhan smiled slightly: "I said that I will live up to you in the second half of my life." Mutual affection, in the same boat. ”
After a long time, her face was getting redder and redder, and she could feel her cheeks burning herself. I believe you tonight.
"If you dress up to attend today, you will definitely be glamorous."
In fact, when I was choosing clothes for a long time yesterday, I picked a low-key burgundy dress.
However, Mrs. Liu and Biluo said that they were not good-looking.
Mrs. Liu persuaded her to leave for a long time, saying that the more this time, the more she had to dress up to attend. Otherwise, others will think that she is weak-hearted. Be sure to wear a gorgeous long dress, bring expensive and dazzling jewelry, and go generously.
This family banquet is not a joke that many people have been waiting to see for a long time.
After thinking about it for a long time, she felt that what Mrs. Liu said was indeed reasonable, and she didn't want to be looked down upon. So, she chose an aqua blue wide-sleeved liuxian dress with peonies embroidered with gold thread. Gorgeous but not showy, elegant but elegant.
The hair ornament on the head is mainly warm Hetian jade, supplemented by gold and pearls.
Zhengyang Palace.
The emperor and queen have not yet arrived. The people inside, standing together in twos and threes, gossiping.
Several princesses were chatting together.
"You say, is Princess Chu's face really disfigured?"
"Didn't you say that the master of the Xiaomen Gate had a wonderful hand to rejuvenate?"
"How is it possible, I don't believe it. If this is the case, wouldn't there be no one in the world with scars on his body? ”
"You're saying that's funny. She is the granddaughter of the master of Xiaomen, can he not care? ”
"Okay, okay, don't fight. After a while, people came, didn't the big guys see it? ”
"Maybe they'll be wearing a veil!"
The gossip reached Gu Jingyue's ears. She has always disliked to talk about others with them, so she stood beside Yun Muqing and listened to him talk to others.
At this moment, Princess Qi Liu Zihan saw Gu Jingyue not far away, so she walked over and pulled her over.
"Sister Gu, you are good friends with Princess Chu. Is there anything wrong with her face? Liu Zihan asked.
Everyone else looked at Gu Jingyue curiously.
Gu Jingyue smiled and said, "I only went to the Chu Palace's mansion once or twice. Princess Chu is wearing a veil, so I don't know. ”
Hearing Gu Jingyue's answer, the eyes of several people immediately showed disappointment.
However, Liu Zihan said: "Wearing a veil, or, as the rumors say, the face is ruined." Or, it's just a trick! ”
As soon as Liu Zihan's words fell, Su Quan had already arrived at the door of the hall, and he said loudly: "Concubine De Niangniang has arrived!" ”
The crowd fell silent. Who doesn't know, the most favored person in the harem now is Concubine De.
Liu Zihan, like everyone else, bowed obediently. She raised her head and saw Concubine De's appearance, with a flattering smile on her face. However, she looked down on Concubine De very much in her heart.
There is no shortage of young and beautiful women in the harem. Why can she be favored by the sixth palace now? Liu Zihan thought to himself.
"All are exempt, the emperor will be here soon." Concubine De said with a smile.
Immediately after, Yun Chuhan and Lijiu arrived.
Everyone was curious, but because of Concubine De, they all pretended to look out naturally.
Liu Zihan looked curiously.
Gu Jingyue's face was calm, and she looked at Li Jiujiu and walked in.
The complexion is fair, and there are no traces. After a long time, I felt the stunned eyes of everyone, and there was even a sigh.
Liu Zihan saw that he had been away for a long time, and his heart was even more unhappy. As expected, she has already overwhelmed the crowd. Looking down at her gorgeous red dress, she couldn't get angry.
The so-called family banquet, for the ladies of the harem and the princesses of various provinces, is just a time to compete for beauty. Liu Zihan dressed up carefully, but he didn't want to be pressed down for a long time.
"The emperor has arrived."
Before he could say a word to Gu Jingyue for a long time, he heard the eunuch shouting in a long voice.
The emperor came, sat down, and motioned for everyone to be flat.
Everyone is seated, and next to the emperor, the queen's position is still empty.
"The queen was not feeling well, but she said she would arrive a little later. Let's start with a table. The emperor said.
As soon as the words fell, Gonggong Xue looked at the door of the palace, and then clapped his hands.
Then, the maids walked in with wine. Subsequently, the first course is served. Then the dancers walked in.
In ancient times, this was nothing more than this, and I felt that watching them dance was really boring for a long time. Her focus is on food.
The first dish is a refreshing side dish, which was eaten with a few chopsticks after a long time, and it tasted good and quite appetizing.
Yun Chuhan saw that he loved to eat for a long time, so he gave her his clip.
Liu Zihan looked away for a long time, and his eyes showed contempt. She picked up her chopsticks, gracefully picked up a small amount of food, and put it in her mouth. She looked up at the long time, revealing a defiant gaze.
It's a pity that I only noticed the dishes and didn't go to see her.
"Eat more." Qi Wang Yunmo smiled and gave Liu Zihan vegetables.
Liu Zihan glanced at the emperor and Concubine De, and secretly threw Yun Moxuan a big wink.
Yun Moxuan is the sixth prince, and his biological mother is Guo Guiren. It's not noble, but it's not lowly. It belongs to the one that is not up or down in the middle. He has a well-behaved personality and is very filial, so even if he was ineffective in Sheji, he was crowned the prince early.
The emperor glanced at Gonggong Xue.
Father-in-law Xue hurriedly said, "The New Year's dishes rewarded by the emperor have been prepared. ”
"If you go to the palace of the king of Xianjun, don't forget to bring the holy decree." The emperor did not forget to advise.
The emperor had already prepared a holy decree before, and the prince was crowned as a prince, and the prince was crowned a first-class marquis and enjoyed the treatment of the prince of the county.
Li Jiujiu licked his lips and looked at the temple door with a blank eye. The palace maids walked in with the dishes.
Before I arrived, I smelled the fragrance after a long time.
This time it's a hard dish, I thought to myself. She saw that the palace maid was holding a spicy chicken in her hand.
The palace maid carefully placed the plate with the spicy chicken in front of Li Jiujiu.
I couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put a piece of chicken wings in my mouth.
Liu Zihan frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
Gu Jingyue looked at Liu Zihan, then at Li Jiujiu, then retracted her gaze and drank a glass of wine quietly.
"Hao Yu is late." The emperor saw the empty seat on the side.
As soon as the words fell, I heard the eunuch at the palace gate shouting loudly: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived, and the master of the horse has arrived." ”
Hao Yu and Han Shuozhi walked in, with a chill.
Luckily, it's not too late. Hao Yu thought to himself.
The two knelt down: "Say hello to my father." ”
The emperor shook his head helplessly: "Come to the table." ”
Hao Yu and Han Shuozhi hurriedly got up, saw the empty seats, and hurriedly sat down.
Li Jiujiu picked up a piece of chicken wings and smiled at Hao Yu.
Hao Yu stuck out his tongue at Lijiujiu.
At this time, Yun Chuhan smiled and said, "Father, Hao Yu is late, he should be punished." ”
Hao Yu picked up the wine glass and stood up: "Father, I will punish myself with a glass." I wish my father a long life. ”
After Hao Yu said this, the others also stood up with their wine glasses.
Lijiu hurriedly picked up his wine glass and stood up. When she looked up, she saw Liu Zihan looking at her.
