Chapter 66: The New Year's Feast (1)

The New Year is approaching, and the emperor announced the boycott of the dynasty for half a month.

The snow in Chang'an fell for a long time, and finally stopped on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Xu Yu, the lord of Jiangcheng, arrived at Chang'an City early in the morning with his female guards, Chang'an was expensive and expensive, and the group lived directly in the Xu family's mansion in Chang'an, Huizhou.

The news of Xu Jin's entry into the city has long been widely spread in the upper echelons of Chang'an, this city lord is a money bag, and he has a generous hand, if he has a good relationship with him, it can be regarded as a way out in the future.

For this, there is a steady stream of greetings into Xu's Mansion, and Hongxiu is tired of sorting out the gift lists and greetings every day.

There are many nobles in Chang'an, and a brick falling from the sky can kill an official. But below one person and above 10,000 people, there is also His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

Every year, the door of the Qin Wangfu is full of guests. There is no hostess in the Qin Palace, and the middle feed has always been presided over by the steward Fu Bo and Lingquan.

It's just that King Qin has been closed since he returned from the banquet in the palace.

Now that the New Year is approaching, King Qin has been closed, and all the etiquette of the exchange has been replaced by Fu Bo and Lingquan, and he is also very busy for a while.

The people serving in the palace were cautious when they saw this, lest they touch the mold of King Qin.

Ordinary people's families have prepared food and gifts for the New Year's Festival, and the family is gathered around to cut window flowers and paste couplets, and they are happy.

All parts of Chang'an City are hung with red lanterns and satin, and a high platform is set up in the market, and the dancers of the song and dance workshop will perform songs and dances for the people here at night, and have a good time.

The smell of fireworks in the world, and the smell of firecrackers in the air, is the best New Year's flavor.

Daming Palace.

The red walls and green tiles, the wide and majestic palace road is also different from the past, and the glass palace lamp is pasted with small lanterns.

The palace people who served everywhere were rewarded with new clothes and jewelry, and they were happy with smiles on their faces.

Shen Yan sat on the seat of the Qingsi Palace, his hair scattered, and he and Xiaoxing cut the window flowers together.

The first time she cut the window flowers, there was always one of her hands and brains that couldn't keep up, and the tiger was cut into four different shapes, which made Xiaoxing laugh around her.

"Diji, where did your tiger tail go?"

Feng Xuan smiled innocently, and pointed to a bare place behind the window flower in Shen Yan's hand.

Shen Yan found that her tiger had become a strange tiger without a tail, and she remembered a children's rhyme, so she simply threw down the scissors, leaned on the chair and hummed a song.

"Two tigers, two tigers, one without eyes and one without a tail, it's weird, it's weird."

"What kind of tune are you humming, Xiaoxing has never heard it before."

Xiaoxing's craftsmanship in cutting window flowers is excellent, and this is the first time they have celebrated the New Year in Qingsi Palace. Xiao Xing excitedly counted all the windows of the Qing Si Temple, planning to put window grilles on each window.

She asked, looking up as she cut it.

Shen Yan thought for a while before he said leisurely, "This is the Huqu I heard from the Orchid Tavern." ”

The original song of the two tigers is in French, and it is said that it was a Hu song heard from the orchid, which is also a few points right.

Feng Xuan was so frightened by her that he covered his mouth and looked at Shen Yan with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe it. How can the dignified emperor go to the Orchid Tavern?

It was Xiaoxing who reacted from Shen Yan's words at once.

"Why does Emperor Ji love to joke as much as Zhaoyi? Orchid Tavern, I don't know which way the door of the tavern opens, do you? ”

Shen Yan just smiled faintly when he heard this, and didn't say much.

"Tonight's family banquet, help me get the feather silk gold crown that Zhaoyi gave some time ago."

"Yes."

Jing got up and went to the apse and took out Shen Yan's jewelry and clothes.

Shen Yan's gaze fell on the hair crown in the scenery hand, and inexplicably pulled a smile of indifference.

The Spring Festival family banquet, the emperor and the important courtiers will attend, Chang'an City is very lively, the curfew is canceled, the city gate is wide open, the money is widely spread, and the people are happy.

The news of Kang He's recovery was only known in the harem, and although there was a faint rumor in the previous dynasty, he had not seen her.

Tonight, the emperor will announce the news of the emperor's recovery, announce it to the world, give her the title of princess of the country, and prepare to choose a husband.

For this, she had to dress up carefully tonight.

Throw away all concerns, Kang and Emperor Ji, who remains in the history books and in the eyes of the world, cannot be downcast or bland.

Xiaoxing is not good at combing gorgeous buns, so she changed the scenery, she used shavings water to help Shen Yan comb through the soft and slender long hair, pull it up thinly, fold it into several complicated high buns, and wear a feather gold crown.

The feather silk is delicate and gorgeous, stretching out with a fine sand-like streamer, with the slight shaking of the feather silk to refract different luster, the gold crown is heavy, and the feather silk is light and heavy, stable and not cumbersome.

Six tassels were fixed around the golden crown, and the crystal drops hung down, just above her neck, making her neck look slender.

Xu Yu's vision is excellent, this hair crown was personally selected and sent by her, and Shen Yan took a fancy to it at a glance.

The scenery helped her comb her hair in a bun, and then put on makeup carefully, and the grate exposed Shen Yan's smooth forehead, and dotted it with flowers. The snail Dai draws her eyebrows, the rouge is lightly brushed, and the lipstick is a little vermilion, which is very charming.

Shen Yan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, only to feel that it was not himself, and his originally squeamish little face was now completely the majesty and beauty of the superior.

……

When night falls, the palace lights of Daming Palace are lit, like stars falling to the ground.

The colorful satin palace lamp illuminates the road from the palace road to the main hall, and there are palace maids and ministers who come and go to serve, holding trays in their hands, and delivering snacks and fruits.

The gorgeous and towering palace is lit by layers of palace lamps and candles, as if lighting up the starry sky. It was a lively and peaceful scene, and the guests and attendants all had decent smiles on their faces.

Shen Yan walked to this palace road for the first time, with a jade slab road under her feet, a palace of Gao Wei in front of her, and silk and bamboo music in her ears, she took a few deep breaths, folded her hands in front of her abdomen, and slowly walked into the main hall and into the sight of everyone.

Xiaoxing and Jingjing followed behind her left and right, half-bowing their heads. The grand scene in front of him is hard to see, and Xiaoxing only feels that the heavenly family is gracious.

Walking through the long jade steps, the tall eight carved heavy doors were fully open, Shen Yan smiled faintly, lifted the skirt and stepped in resolutely.

When he was in the other garden, Shen Yan had seen the portraits of high-ranking officials of the previous dynasty, and now as soon as he stepped into the palace, he felt that he had several inquiring glances on him.

Tonight's banquet is extremely important, and the seats are extremely particular, from the temple gate to the main seat, on the left and right sides, in three rows before and after, there are about 100 seats.

Shen Yan felt these gazes, and did not avoid them, but just smiled faintly and walked forward.

"Come, sit down next to the main palace."

Xu Zhaoyi saw her enter the hall at a glance, and thought that Shen Yan was the first time to attend a family banquet after many years, so she got up and walked in front of her, stretched out her hand and pulled Shen Yan to her seat and sat down.

When they saw where she was sitting, everyone couldn't help but start beating drums in their hearts.

The seat is high.
