Chapter 209: Family Banquet

"I really haven't been to the north before, and I've heard that there will be thick snow in winter, and the world is the same, and some of them are not just desolate scenery." The eldest princess had yearning in her eyes, as if she was really interested in the north.

"Yes, it often snows heavily in winter, and the sky and the earth are white, like a crystal palace."

"What books does Lord Yongfeng read? I heard that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, since you have to do housework, how do you have time to learn these? The princess interrupted Cher again.

"There are more agricultural books, and I also read other books, which are just a matter of sightseeing. As for being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that is an exaggeration, Yongfeng just likes music and can play the piano and blow the flute, and Yongfeng knows nothing about playing chess, so he is not good at this at all.

My father and mother taught me in my spare time, so I didn't learn well. Cher replied truthfully.

"That's already very good, it's not easy to learn so many talents while doing housework." The eldest princess played the round again.

"The Dong family attaches great importance to learning, both men and women have to read and practice calligraphy, and as for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is also a personal hobby.

My father is good at calligraphy, painting and chess, and my mother is good at music, so Yongfeng doesn't need to ask his master to learn, so he can only learn talent in his spare time. Cher understands the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost, so she deliberately mentions her parents.

"The Dong family is also from a family, Dong XX is a famous prime minister of the previous dynasty, and his descendants are no different." Empress Feng listened for a long time before making a summary.

"Why don't we hold a family banquet for the queen mother, Roujia is the same age as the county lord of Yongfeng, and the girl of Changle, how about calling the prospective princess and letting a few of their peers have a discussion together?" **The princess shook Queen Feng's arm and begged.

"You kid, how can you be a mother, you are still so unreliable!" Although it was a reproach, Queen Feng's eyes were full of smiles, and she couldn't see the meaning of blame at all.

In fact, in her heart, she was willing to let the county lord of Yongfeng be her daughter-in-law, but she couldn't beat her husband and in-laws after all. Don't you see the county lord of Yongfeng wearing his mother-in-law's blood jade bracelet on his wrist! The meaning of the Emperor and the Empress is already obvious.

After thinking about it, Queen Feng nodded and said, "It's okay, the body of the Japanese Palace has been much better these days, let's hold a family banquet tonight!" ”

The family banquet was held in the Lin De Hall on the west side of the Daming Palace.

Lin De Hall is the most special palace group in Daming Palace as in history, and its architectural style is also unique, the three halls in the front and middle are connected, and the whole hall is built on a large platform of more than 10,000 square meters.

It is a place for banquets and entertainment, and is located on the southwest side of Taiye Pond, adjacent to the Hallymin Temple.

The Emperor and Empress Taishang gave a rare face, and came to participate in person.

In addition to the emperor and queen, the four Xuanyuan Che brothers and their respective mothers and concubines also attended. This includes King Jian's mother, Concubine Qiao Guifei, and King Xian's mother, Concubine Ouyang.

In addition, there are the county lord of Changle, as well as the eldest princess and the ** princess.

Even the two imperial brothers Ning Wang Xuanyuan Yu and Cheng Wang Xuanyuan Feng also came to participate.

Outsiders talk about the future crown princess Meng and Xue'er, the lord of Yongfeng.

In the evening, before attending the family banquet, Xuanyuan Che came to the Hanbing Palace alone to pick up Xue'er.

He had already learned that almost all of his family had seen Xue'er, and that his family was relatively satisfied with his future princess, so he was in a high mood and couldn't wait to get his father's marriage immediately.

Now he sees Xue'er as his fiancée, so his eyes are full of smiles when he speaks, and he is a lot more casual, and the more he looks at Xue'er, the more he likes it.

Xue'er was uncomfortable with his eyes, and she didn't know what the problem was.

"How's the rest? Isn't it boring to stay in the palace? If you have rested, do you want me to take you out of the palace tomorrow for a walk! Xuanyuan Che sat there and asked with a smile.

Cher raised her beautiful eyes and sighed, not answering his question immediately.

"What, is this being bullied, or is it a little uncomfortable? You can tell me anything, you can tell Mo Shijiu if I'm not there, and she will send someone to tell me. Xuanyuan Che asked with concern, and he also glanced at Mo Shijiu.

"Your Highness should have a lot to do when he returns to the imperial capital! I don't have anything, the scenery of Daming Palace is beautiful, I don't have anything uncomfortable, and no one bullies me, but if only I could be allowed to leave the palace at any time, I don't need to be accompanied by His Royal Highness.

It's also my first time in the imperial capital, and I really want to go out to see if it's true, and the third and fourth uncles are staying in the post house, and I'm also worried about them. Xue'er replied truthfully, she really didn't want to trouble Xuanyuan Che, so she put forward her thoughts.

"This token is for you, with this token you can enter and exit the Daming Palace at any time, but try not to miss the curfew, otherwise I will not be at ease." Xuanyuan Che took a waist card from his waist and handed it to Xue'er, speaking very casually.

Xue'er stretched out her hand and took it: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness." ”

"However, if you really want to leave the palace, it's best to call me and let me accompany you, after all, I am more familiar with Chang'an City than you." Xuanyuan Che added uneasily.

"Why do I keep bothering Your Highness? You have finally come back to the domain, and you have to prepare for the birthday of the Emperor, and you also have to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince prepare for the wedding, I ......"

"It's okay, anyway, I'm going to stay in Chang'an for more than a month, I have time, and those who have the Ministry of Etiquette are preparing, so I don't have to worry about it. I'm really worried about your little lady going shopping! Xuanyuan Che interrupted Xue'er's words and explained kindly.

"Shijiu is also familiar with Chang'an, as well as Aunt Lu, with them accompanying me, His Royal Highness is at ease."

Xue'er is most afraid of troublesome others, she said before that she wanted Xuanyuan Che to take care of herself, but now she knows that he has so many things to do when he comes back, how can she be embarrassed to pester the other party and let her family go shopping with her?

Xuanyuan Che didn't say anything more, thinking that his father would marry soon, so he was relieved. Thinking that with the title of Princess Youyou in the future, no one who is not long-sighted will dare to provoke her, and then she will be relieved.

The royal family banquet was not as pompous as imagined, but the venue was more exquisite, and the dishes were colorful, fragrant.

Although it is not as delicious as you imagined, every tableware used is very exquisite, and every dish is very delicately cooked.

Because the Meng family was not married to the crown prince, when she sat down, Xue'er was next to the head seat of the Meng family, the female dependents sat on the west side, the four emperors and queens sat on the top, and the male guests sat on the east side.

Only the eldest princess and the ** princess sat next to each other with their horses on the east side.
