Chapter 50: The Lantern Festival Palace Banquet

When Rong Yu walked to the second gate, Rong Heng, Xiao Shen and Rong Ying were already there, and the car was ready.

Rong Yu, who arrived at the latest, inevitably said a few more words from Rong Heng.

She listened to the training obediently and boarded the car behind Rong Heng and Xiao Shen.

Along the way, Rong Heng told their sisters to pay attention to their words and deeds, and not to cause trouble in front of the nobles.

Naturally, the main thing is to tell Rong Yu......

Rong Yu listened absentmindedly while taking a few glances at Rong Ying's outfit.

Rong Ying is still wearing white today, with a hexagonal snowflake brocade skirt trimmed with white fox fur and a hood of the same color and a tie cape.

A white fox velvet headband tied in a double bun has crystals hanging from the end.

In winter, the cotton clothes are thick, and Rong Ying often wears a thick cloak and cloak on the outside of the well-fitting dress, which keeps out the cold and is not bloated.

Therefore, Rong Ying has many exquisite and unusual cloaks and cloaks.

The most gorgeous is a white fox cloak given to her in the winter of that winter after King Duan proposed to her in the third year of Youning.

The cloak was made of excellent materials and fine workmanship, with almost no stitch marks visible, and two white fox tails as ties, and it was luxurious and compelling to walk on.

Fox fur is not rare, but such a good white fox cloak is rare in the world.

Duan Wang and his people are silent, and the world often speculates about his affection for Rong Ying through these objects and details.

Rong Yu's eyes were hot on the cloak, and he chattered to the jewels for a winter, and said in vain that if it was her, she would not want the white fox skin, but the fire fox skin.

Firefoxes are much rarer than white foxes, and no one would bother to find a cloak like that for her.

She had been thinking about that wish for a winter, and then she forgot about it.

But a year before she died, Rong Huatuo gave her a fire fox cloak, which was soft and fluffy, bright and bright, which was exactly what she expected when she was a girl.

She was overjoyed, sent several letters to thank Rong Hua, and was reluctant to wear the cloak, so she solemnly stored it.

In the end, she didn't get the cloak on her mind before she died......

In this life, Rong Hua will no longer accompany Mu Linyuan to garrison Tongcheng, and he will no longer be able to collect desert fire fox skins to make cloaks for her.

But she didn't regret it at all.

……

The carriage stopped outside the palace gate, and Rong Heng and Xiao Shen entered the palace separately to pay respects, and the two did not leave the palace until the afternoon.

Xiao Shen told Rong Yu a few words to be careful when he went back to Suzhou, and went back to the house first.

Rong Yu sat upright in the carriage and waited for the summons.

During this period, other noble girls visited Rong Ying one after another, no matter who came, Rong Ying's attitude was polite and cold.

Concubine Jia and Concubine Xian also sent female officials to invite Rong Ying to the palace for a rest, but Rong Ying politely refused with excuses such as "dare not exceed the rules".

Rong Yu looked at Rong Ying.

As a human being in two lives, she still can't understand how Rong Heng and Du Shi could give birth to a daughter like Rong Ying.

She died once before she had the calm state of mind she is now.

However, he was still full of reverence for the emperor and the future emperor Duanwang, lest he act inconsiderately, anger the heavens, and cause trouble.

Although Rong Ying is amazing and beautiful, she is only a twelve-year-old girl after all.

Rong Yu felt that Rong Ying seemed to be fearless in her bones.

Whether it is heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, or emperors and concubines.

Whether it's strong authority or conspiracy.

She is not afraid of anything.

Rong Ying also looked at Rong Yu.

Rong Heng was talking to the nobles and officials outside the carriage, so there were only two sisters in the carriage at this time.

At such a time, Rong Yu's sitting posture was also extremely solemn, and he never relaxed for a moment.

She couldn't understand why someone like Rong Yu pretended to be stupid for eight years, and she also admired her perseverance......

……

Time passed in waiting, and finally, an official came to the palace gate to summon him, and then led everyone towards the imperial garden.

The stars and moon are getting brighter and brighter in the night, the front of the palace, the side of the road is full of lights, the forbidden palace at this time is no longer the golden brilliance of the day, majestic and solemn, giving people a sense of wealth and beauty.

Many officials and children couldn't stop looking at each other, their eyes full of amazement and envy.

Rong Yu only felt sad and terrifying.

There are two sides to everything.

Behind the monstrous wealth of the Heavenly Family, there is a sword and blood, and every step is terrifying.

Husband and wife, parents and children, brothers and sisters......

It is a close relative, but also the most alien.

No one can believe it.

If you are reborn in heaven, it will be like this if you land......

But for thousands of years, more people have been attracted by fame and fortune and have gone forward to succeed them.

Like a moth to a fire, yearning for that moment of light and warmth, riding into life.

In her previous life, she was like this......

……

The banquet is set up in the Imperial Garden.

On the north side is the main banquet table, and on the east and west sides are two long rows of small banquet tables, and the open space in the middle of the small banquet table is spread with colorful woven carpets.

A night pearl was placed on each banquet table.

There are already people seated behind the small banquet table near the main banquet platform, including the prince, the prince, and the people who are close to the heavenly family and rest in the palace in the afternoon.

The lights of the glazed palace were as bright as day, and Rong Yu easily saw Shao Nanyan.

Shao Nanyan was also looking for her, and the two met their eyes and smiled silently.

At this time, Shao Beicheng, who was sitting next to Shao Nanyan, also looked at Rong Yu.

Rong Yu: ......

Rong Yu tried to squeeze out a bigger smile, probably using too much force, looking stiff and hideous......

Rong Heng glared at her.

Rong Yu immediately lowered his head honestly.

The three of Rongfu's father and daughter waited for a long time before they were arranged to sit down, and the position was extremely backward.

And the glass lamp above the small banquet table where they sat was hidden in the branches of the flowers and trees, and it was darker than the others.

Rong Yu looked at other glass lamps casually.

Sure enough, only a few did.

In the forbidden palace, there are no coincidences.

Probably, there are people in these seats that the nobles don't want to see.

Or maybe someone doesn't want the nobles to see the people at these tables.

It's not something she can snoop on......

After everyone was seated, they waited for a while, and from the north came a shrill voice that was louder than one:

"The concubine has arrived!"

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

"The Holy One has arrived!"

Everyone got up quickly, knelt down respectfully, and shouted in unison for a thousand years of Niangniang and long live my emperor.

After the emperor took his seat, he motioned for everyone to get up and raised his glasses again.

The palace banquet officially began.

The crown prince and the crown princess did not show up......

The female officers of the Dance and Music Division marched to the open space in the middle of the banquet table and danced to music.

After three rounds of drinking, Wule retreated, and the emperor and queen all opened their mouths to admonish a few words.

And they all bowed their heads and said yes.

After that, King Ying, King Duan, and King Chen attended in turn to toast the emperor and the queen mother.

After King Chen toasted, the emperor raised his glass and toasted the concubine.

Although he sat far away, Rong Yu also felt the strangeness of everyone's silence.

Afterwards, the six princes attended the toast.

The six princes said a lot respectfully, but the emperor only replied with a "hmm", and then took a sip.

Rong Yu thought unkindly: What a shame......

The six princes were not discouraged, and energetically proposed to play a song for the emperor and queen to show their filial piety.

The emperor's expression was not expectant.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian opened her mouth to help the six princes say a few words, saying that the six princes have been practicing diligently recently in order to honor the emperor.

The queen said yes.

A woman wearing a light blue dance skirt and covering her face with a blue veil walked to the middle, kowtowed, and placed a number of green jade lotus pots on the ground.

Although the woman covered her face, Rong Yu still recognized her.

It's a noble man.

After King Chen was disabled and the Xu family overturned, Xu Guifei and the emperor also lost peace.

The emperor still valued the concubine, but he was no longer close to her.

In the ten years that Rong Yu was Princess Ning, it was this noble man who was the deepest in the harem.

The palace people often secretly talk about how Mo Guiren looks like Liji, the biological mother of the Six Princes, and they are all foxes who bewitch the lord all the way.

Perhaps out of remembrance of his deceased mother, King Ning was particularly close to Mo Guiren.

Rong Yu was also extremely deferential to Mo Guiren.

In the past, she only knew that Mo Guiren was like Xu Guifei, who was born as a palace maid, but only now did she know that Mo Guiren had been a palace maid next to the Six Princes.

……

After the six princes blew the jade flute, the woman stepped on the jade cup and danced to the music.

Many people are fascinated by it.

Dancing and light.

It seems that the Han Palace Feiyan that can dance in the palm of his hand is rumored to be ......

The Emperor's gaze became more and more focused.

Suddenly, a woman's retching sound came from the main banquet table.

And all the people looked at the woman.

Concubine Yi covered her lips with a handkerchief in shame and fear, and was about to confess, but she couldn't bear the nausea and vomited again......

What does it mean for a woman to retch?

Empress Dowager Ma said loudly with joy on her face: "Imperial Doctor Xuan! ”
