Now I need to check the carriage to enter the palace? Ruan Tingge was thoughtful, could it be the influence of Zhong Lixuan's incident last time?

At this time, the voice of the palace maid came from outside the carriage, "The slave maid wants to come up to inspect the inner compartment of the carriage, and ask the county lord of Yun'an for permission." ”

Hearing the words of the palace maid outside the carriage, Ruan Tingge retracted his thoughts and said lightly, "Come on." ”

The curtain of the carriage door was lifted, and a mediocre-looking palace maid stood outside the carriage and saluted Ruan Tiange. She didn't come up, just looked up and glanced quickly at the carriage.

The palace maid's gaze didn't stay on Ruan Qingge for long, and she lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "I'm sorry to disturb the county lord of Yun'an, please let the slave and maid retreat." ”

As the palace maid retreated, the carriage moved again, and it walked towards the palace with a bone.

Ruan Qinge opened the curtain and looked outside, and found that the palace maid had walked to the carriage behind again, bowed her head and saluted, saying similar things.

Catching a glimpse of the carriage of the Fenyang Palace, which was the carriage of the Meng Mansion, Ruan Tingge retracted his gaze and lowered the curtains.

The palace in Shinonome was not too big, and it didn't take long for the carriage to reach the outer gate of the palace where the banquet was held, and then it was necessary to get out of the carriage and walk in.

The king of Fenyang had already gotten off the carriage and was standing next to Mrs. Yide's carriage, helping Mrs. Yide out of the carriage.

When he saw Ruan Tiange coming, he beckoned, "Ge'er, come and help your grandmother." ”

Ruan Tingge walked over quickly, helped Mrs. Yide and said with a smile, "Grandmother, I'll help you in." ”

Mrs. Yide smiled and patted Ruan Tingge's hand, turned her head to look at the brilliant lights in the palace in front of her, and sighed, "Year after year, time flies so fast." ”

"Alas, I don't know how many more New Year's Eves your grandmother will be in the palace."

Ruan Qinge looked at the white hair between Mrs. Yide's temples and the wrinkles on her face that couldn't be hidden, and her heart was a little sour.

She hugged Mrs. Yide's arm tightly, but complained in her mouth, "What did grandmother say, you are in good health, don't say it a few times, you can get by dozens of times." ”

Mrs. Yide smiled, "You girl is also sweet-mouthed. ”

"Lord Yun'an." Suddenly, a female voice came from the side, Ruan Tingge turned his head to look, and found Meng Yanwan standing not far away looking at him.

Meng Yanwan wore a very grand dress today, wearing a dark gold phoenix tail skirt, the tail of the skirt that fell to the ankle was slightly tightened, faintly outlining Meng Yanwan's slender figure, and the dark gold pattern on the skirt was like a shadow, looking luxurious and extraordinary.

This was the first time Ruan Chenge saw Meng Yanwan since the state banquet for the envoy of Nanning.

Ruan Tiange was a little surprised, he thought that according to Meng Yanwan's temperament, he would avoid him like a snake and scorpion, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to greet him.

Meng Yanwan couldn't help but be in a trance when she looked at Ruan Qinge's face, and a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she hid it again.

Ruan Qinge's expression was cold, but he still nodded and said, "Miss Meng." ”

"I've seen Mrs. Yide." Meng Yanwan was still the same as before, she didn't salute Ruan Tingge, but just walked over and blessed Mrs. Yide.

After saying hello, Meng Yanwan looked Ruan Tiange up and down, and said with an unclear tone in her tone, "The clothes that the county lord of Yun'an is wearing today are very good-looking. ”

Although Meng Yanwan's tone was calm, she secretly couldn't help but clench her sleeves, how could this Ruan Tingge become more and more beautiful.

"Miss Meng praised it falsely, I think Miss Meng is also brightly dressed and radiant." Ruan Tingge replied a little inexplicably, not knowing what medicine was sold in Meng Yanwan's gourd.

Meng Yanwan's face had a hint of a self-contained smile, "Then I will thank the Lord of Yun'an for his compliment." ”

She glanced at Ruan Qingge again, and then said, "Mrs. Yide, Lord Yun'an, then I'll go in first." ”

After Meng Yanwan finished speaking, she smiled politely at Mrs. Yide and Ruan Qinge, and turned around and entered the hall.

"Ge'er, is that the daughter of Taiwei Meng?" Mrs. Yide frowned slightly and asked, according to Mrs. Yide's eyes for so many years, she felt that Miss Meng just now was a little strange.

"Yes, grandmother, this is Second Miss Meng from the Meng Mansion." Ruan Qinge's eyes were still fixed on Meng Yanwan's back, and he replied softly.

"Is this Miss Meng Er your friend?" Mrs. Yide asked.

Ruan Tingge took Mrs. Yide's arm and said with a smile, "No. Grandmother, let's go in too, and if my father doesn't see us, I'm sure I'll be in a hurry. ”

Mrs. Yide nodded, and the grandfather and grandson walked into the hall.

Entering the Liqing Palace, the scene of the main hall came into Ruan Tingge's eyes.

The palace used to hold the Chinese New Year's Eve state banquet is called Liqing Palace, which is almost twice as large as the palace used to host the banquet of the envoys of the Nanning State before.

During the reign of the former monarch Huaqing Lu, the Liqing Palace was used as a place to hold large-scale state banquets, and the craftsmen repaired several rockeries and drained the lake water in the imperial garden, constituting an elegant scenery of flowing mountains and rivers.

When the Ling family came to power, they expanded the Liqing Palace again, but the rockery was removed, the flowing water was filled, and the Liqing Palace was completely changed, and the decoration was more inclined to a magnificent appearance.

As a result, the Liqing Palace has become more spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people to dine in the palace.

When Ruan Qingge helped Mrs. Yide in, the concubines, princes and grandchildren were already seated in the main hall, and only the emperor and queen mother had not yet appeared.

The area of the main hall is very large, and the position of the monarch is three steps up in the center of the hall, and on the left and right of the monarch is the seat of the queen mother and the queen. The concubines sat behind the queen according to their rank, while the princes and grandchildren sat below the king's position. Several screens were placed in the area where the Queen Mother and the concubines were located, and you could vaguely see the figures, but you couldn't see the specific appearance.

The rest of the hall is unobstructed, with all the cushions and dining tables arranged in the shape of a fan, extending from the center of the hall to the sides of the palace entrance.

Most of the officials are still entering the palace in order at the palace gate, while families like the Ruan family and the Meng family have already entered the palace in advance and do not need to wait at the palace gate.

The dining table was full of fruit snacks, and the palace maids were also waiting on the side, ready to add tea at any time.

The location of the Fenyang Palace is on the right side of the steps, very close to the position of the princes and princesses.

As soon as Ruan Qinge sat down, she felt several eyes looking at her, her expression remained unchanged, she didn't look around, she gently turned her head sideways and winked at Fang Jirou next to her and smiled, "Sister-in-law has become beautiful again recently." ”

Fang Jirou has been accustomed to Ruan Tingge's changes in the past few months, and when she heard Ruan Tingge praise herself, she was not ashamed, and said with a smile, "Don't make fun of me, when it comes to becoming beautiful, it's you, you are really getting more and more beautiful." ”

After Fang Jirou said this, she looked at Ruan Qinge's face, and really sighed in her heart, her sister-in-law is really the embryo of a peerless beauty, and the more she grows, the more beautiful it is.
