Chapter 47: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is still run by the noble concubines, and the four concubines help to fight, the only difference is that this year the Queen Mother will participate.

When the post of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was sent to the hands of each family, everyone was accustomed to the festival ceremony at home, and everyone in the Tong Mansion was at home for the New Year as usual, only Tong Qingyan wanted to enter the palace to participate in this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet because of her status as the county lord.

Wen Lan looked at the various dresses in the tray and could only sigh except for sighing, she never thought that her precious daughter would become a nobleman, even if she was her own mother, she had to shout the county lord in front of outsiders.

"Mother, I can't accompany you to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today, I prepared a supper, can you keep some stomach and wait for me to come back to accompany you?"

"What are you tossing on such a cold day, you don't have to frostbite your hands."

Since the beginning of winter, Tong Qingyan has been busy eating in the kitchen, and someone else has done it for her, and the possibility of frostbite on her hands does not exist, but Wen Lan still feels sorry for this girl.

Of course, Tong Qingyan knew the worries on Wen Lan's face, in fact, the worries in the hearts of her grandmother and father were also very clear.

Since my grandmother and father knew about themselves and Song Zhan, they didn't say anything on their faces, but they didn't dare to relax at all, and when they entered the palace several times, their hearts were hanging, and they saw that their smiles were so real when they came home safely, and they didn't know how to be blind and blind.

At tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Tong Qingyan always had a feeling of unease, facing Wen Lan at this moment, not only did not show anything but also appeased Wen Lan's worries.

The clothes and jewelry sent by Song Zhan are very exquisite, Tong Qingyan was a little happy when she first saw her, but after the joy, she didn't understand why Song Zhan suddenly sent things over, pursuing herself openly? It's kind of like that.

According to the rules, the ladies of all the palaces who are eligible to enter the palace to participate in the banquet must go to the queen's palace early today, but the queen is frail quickly, and this year everyone is exempted from visiting, and the queen mother said that she wants to attend the banquet, so it is the first thing to meet the queen mother.

For Cining Palace, Tong Qingyan has no good feelings at all, and today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet Song Zhan handed over early, so that Feicui could protect herself, no matter what the situation, Tong Qingyan could not be left alone.

This kind of headless and tailless advice is the cause of Tong Qingyan's uneasiness, but thinking that Song Zhan should be sure of his protection, and with Feicui here, he can always prepare to go out to the palace for a banquet with peace of mind.

There was a little episode before going out, since that illness, Tong Manjiao no longer stepped out of the hospital, and only said that he had to be carefully recuperated and could not blow the wind.

Tong Qingyan was dressed neatly, and when she walked out of Hanlian Garden with a heavy county lord-grade Yingluo collar, she happened to meet Tong Manjiao, who was slender and had just recovered from illness.

Tong Qingyan looked at Tong Manjiao, who was thin and a little out of shape, and didn't know what words to say for a while, Tong Qingyan looked at Tong Manjiao's kung fu, Tong Manjiao was also looking at her, but she looked at her carefully, inch by inch.

"The county lord is really glamorous today." Tong Manjiao praised lightly, her eyes fell on the gorgeous and dazzling collar, and she darkened, "This circle is a craft in the palace, it is really well-made and beautiful." ”

In the face of the praise that is neither yin nor yang, Tong Qingyan felt that it was good not to think too much, and just wanted to smile and open her mouth to accept the other party's praise, Tong Manjiao leaned on the hand of the subordinate and bowed.

"The people dare not stop the county lord from driving, lest they miss the time for the county lord to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet."

Tong Qingyan looked at Tong Manjiao, who was curtsied, and opened her mouth to hold back the words.

You can only expect her to figure it out on her own, otherwise whatever you say, you're just pushing her deeper into a corner.

After hastily waving her hand and asking her to get up, Tong Qingyan strode past Tong Manjiao's master and servant, and when she walked by, she accidentally dropped the sachet on her waist on the ground.

"Wait a minute, Lord Shire."

Tong Qingyan looked back when she heard the voice, and saw Tong Manjiao slowly leaning over to pick up something, and took a closer look and found that it was her own sachet.

"The county lord's sachet has dropped."

"Thank you." Tong Qingyan took the sachet, glanced at Tong Manjiao, who was still hanging her head, hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I still like to hear my sister call me my third sister." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Tong Manjiao's reaction, and strode away, a person who is unwilling to accept the kindness of others, no matter what others do, it is in vain.

Looking at Tong Qingyan's distant back, Tong Manjiao subconsciously clenched the hand of the maid beside her, and sighed in a faint voice.

"Don't blame me, who let you get in my way......"

"What did you say, Miss?"

"It's okay, help me go back when it's cold."

"Yes."

When Tong Qingyan and Feicui arrived at Cining Palace, the time was still early, and there were not many people who arrived.

As soon as Tong Qingyan entered the hall, she felt the eyes of people from all directions, and they all fell on her, and she suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Originally, I thought it would be good to hide in the corner and wait for the banquet to start taking a seat, so it seems that today is inevitably in the limelight.

"His Royal Highness the County Lord is really captivating the country today."

Tong Qingyan looked at the woman who was talking nonsense with her eyes open, searched in her mind, and found that the retrieval failed, and she couldn't ask the identity of the other party directly, so she smiled kindly.

"The courtier forgot to introduce herself, the courtier is Miao Bingqing, the granddaughter of the country's son of the priest and the wine of Miao Bingqing."

"Oh, no wonder I think my sister has an outstanding temperament, it turns out that she is the number one talented girl in the capital, Sister Miao, who has won the true biography of Lord Miao."

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, anyway, it's right to praise these noble girls in Beijing, not to mention that this Miao girl takes the initiative to greet herself, and she can be regarded as a kind person.

Miao Bingqing is really curious about the recent gossip figures in Beijing, and he also has a peachy scandal with the popular lover of the noble girl in the capital, Huai Wang Shizi, so he can't pay attention to it.

"The county lord's dress today is so beautiful, is it a private product of the Tianxiu Workshop? I have never seen it. ”

"To be honest, I don't know, this... This was sent by His Royal Highness the Prince of the World. ”

It's not impossible to tell a lie, but usually a lie requires countless lies to come true, Tong Qingyan didn't want to find something for herself, anyway, Song Zhan would protect herself, so she said it generously.

As early as when Miao Bingqing accosted Tong Qingyan, everyone in the pavilion pricked up their ears and stared at the two of them, and now when they heard Tong Qingyan personally sit down on the scandal, the gossip on everyone's faces became even stronger.

Miao Bingqing didn't expect Tong Qingyan to explain her relationship with Song Zhan so generously, and after being slightly stunned, she smiled and started talking about jewelry, which was really a posture of chatting with her.

Seeing this, several girls who were good friends with Su Ri and Miao Bingqing hesitated a few times, and also chose to come forward to chat together, and after a while, Tong Qingyan became the central figure of a small group, Feicui remembered Song Zhan's explanation, and never left Tong Qingyan's side.

As soon as Jiang Jingrou entered the hall, she saw the piercing Tong Qingyan, as well as the girls surrounding her, these people used to revolve around her, but now a rising dirt bun actually dared to take her place, Jiang Jingrou's face became ugly.

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Miss Jiang doesn't need to mind, now that she has become the county lord loved by the concubine, the limelight is naturally bigger than yours, it's good to relax."

Shi Shi glanced at Tong Qingyan, and then at Jiang Jingrou beside him, and fanned the flames with a few words.

Now that this baby is also sitting firmly, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is such an occasion to show his face, he must be coming, I didn't expect to see such a good show as soon as I came.

If you want to say that Jiang Jingrou and Shi's family, there is actually no big contradiction, but when Shi didn't become the third princess, he met Jiang Jingrou a few times in the palace, and the other party relied on the concubine not to give him face, and he was arrogant.

Jiang Jingrou glared at Shi Shi, who appeared beside her, and watched her support her waist with one hand and caress her lower abdomen that was not bulging much with the other, and sneered.

"What the third prince and concubine said is that before the end, who knows what the ending is, I entered the palace to listen to the discussion in the palace, saying that the third prince and concubine also came to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet today, and I am still wondering, how can I not have a good baby at home on such a cold day, it seems that the third princess is in good health and is three points better than the second princess who is not pregnant."

"Miss Jiang is really right, this concubine is very pregnant, eats well and sleeps well, of course she has the energy to come out and walk around."

"Oh, the second princess has to learn from you, right, the second princess."

Shi Shi turned around when he heard this, and saw the second princess and Concubine De standing not far behind him, smiled awkwardly and walked in, and when he turned around, he glared at the maid next to him by the way, what's the matter, there are so many people standing behind him who don't know how to remind themselves.

The maid felt very innocent, her mind was on the three princesses, and she wanted to persuade the three princesses to stay in the prince's mansion with peace of mind today, and the virtuous concubine also meant this, but the Shi family had to come out to show off.

Concubine De looked at her daughter-in-law with dim eyes, patted her hand, and enlightened her in a calm tone.

"Children also look at fate, if you don't have it now, it doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future, and if you have it now, you may not be able to keep it, don't think too much."

"The Mother ......"

When the second princess heard this, she looked up at Concubine De, who was already walking like in the palace, and didn't dare to think deeply, so she hurriedly raised her heels.
