Chapter 20: The Palace Banquet

"She is Yang Susu, the granddaughter of Zuo Xiangye." Cai Yue whispered next to Yu Heng.

Yu Heng smiled and nodded at her, "Miss Yang." ”

"Hello Mrs. Hou."

Yang Susu greeted Liang's blessing.

Liang stretched out his hand to help her up, and said with a smile, "What a sign girl." ”

Liang looked at Yu Heng and asked, do you know Zuo Xiangye's granddaughter?

Yu Heng shook his head slightly.

"Girl, don't you remember? Last time I was in Jian'anbo Mansion, I met once. Caiyue continued to remind.

Yuheng: Of course I remember, I mean unfamiliar!

At the banquet in Jian'anbo Mansion, Yang Susu was surrounded by a group of nobles like stars and moons, and she didn't have time to take care of her.

Suddenly so self-cooked, there is an inexplicable feeling,

Yu Heng opened his mouth, still maintaining a ladylike smile on his face.

"I wonder if Su Su will have the honor to go with Miss Xue San?"

Yang Susu said, with a gentle smile on her smooth and fair face.

Yuheng turned to Liang, who smiled and nodded.

Yu Heng responded with a good voice.

The two families walked together, with Liang and Yang Susu's mother, Choi, walking in front.

The group quickly entered the palace gate and was led to a palace where foreign women were housed to rest.

"Has Miss Xue San been studying art outside?"

Yang Susu sat next to Yu Heng, looking like she was casually talking to Yu Heng.

"yes!"

Yu Heng replied simply.

"The eldest princess is so good to you, how can an ordinary woman have such an opportunity."

Yang Susu sighed, her eyes showed envy, and she seemed to really yearn for a free and easy life like Yuheng.

"Yes, my grandmother has always been very nice to me. What does Miss Yang like to do? ”

I heard that Yang Susu is the first talented woman in the capital, and her appearance naturally does not need to be said, there is no one who can't do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially good at female popularity.

With such a look, he is sixteen years old this year, and he has not yet decided to marry.

"I like to play the piano when I have nothing to do, and I occasionally help the family with things."

Yang Susu said modestly.

"By the way, I heard that Miss Xue San went to the Guangming Temple to incense and saved Mrs. Lin some time ago, I'm curious, can Miss Xue tell me how she saved Mrs. Lin?"

Yang Susu blinked and said mischievously.

Yuheng was surprised, wasn't there no fanfare at that time? How could a boudoir woman pay attention to this kind of news.

"Oh, who did you listen to?"

Yang Susu's face froze, obviously she didn't expect Yuheng to ask her so directly.

How can everyone talk about other people's things casually.

Yang Susu quickly adjusted, and then naturally avoided Yu Heng's question, and asked rhetorically, "Is it true?" ”

"Really."

Yu Heng replied to her succinctly.

"Please don't mind Miss Xue San, my sister is also surprised, seeing that you are so weak, you can actually save Mrs. Lin from a crazy horse, Su Su admires it very much."

Yang Susu has a good temper and explains softly.

The General's Mansion was closed to no guests, and it was not easy for her to visit the General's Mansion directly, so she could only knock on Yuheng's side.

"It's just a fluke."

Yuheng didn't want to talk to her about saving people.

Seeing that Yuheng didn't want to say more, Yang Susu pursed her lips and still asked Yuheng, "Is Mrs. Lin seriously injured?" ”

"Then I don't know."

Yang Susu obviously wanted to continue to ask, but was interrupted.

"Please also ask the ladies and ladies to move to the Yamato Hall and wait."

A female officer in charge said with a smile.

Yuheng smiled at Yang Susu, Liang came over and took her hand, Yuqing and Yuxian stood aside, and under the guidance of the female official, a group of people entered the Yamato Hall and sat down in turn to wait.

The Shou'an Hou Mansion sat slightly forward.

After a while, the queen entered the palace with all the concubines, and everyone hurriedly got up and saluted.

At the royal palace banquet, the men and women are also separated, and the queen presides over the women's side.

The queen led by the queen was dressed in a red-patterned gold double-layer Guangya long-tail palace dress, her hair was coiled into an atmospheric and concise peony bun, there were not many jewelry on her body, and she only wore a pair of Lantian jade bracelets on her white wrist, she was nearly forty years old, with some fine lines on her face, good maintenance, gentle appearance, and a kind smile on her face.

Queen Muhejiang, the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, has no children and no daughters under her knees, is dedicated to the Buddha, has a very low sense of presence in the palace, and will only come out to preside over affairs when there are occasional major matters.

On such a major occasion as the palace New Year's Banquet, even if the emperor favors Yuan Guifei, it is impossible for a concubine to preside over it.

"Flat." The queen gave everyone a handful of hands and let everyone get up.

The queen sat on the first seat, and the concubines next to her sat in order.

The charming woman sitting at the top left is Yuan Guifei, Yuan Guifei is nearly forty years old, but she looks like a woman in her twenties.

The pale green palace dress, dressed in a thin smoke veil of green water, embroidered with a few dark peonies on the cuffs, a few auspicious clouds outlined by silver threads, and rows of sea water clouds embroidered on the hem.

A head of black hair is pulled into a high beauty bun, a few delicate hairpins are embellished in the hair, the eyebrows and eyes of the moth are lightly swept with spring, the cherry lips are red without dots, the shoulders are cut into a waist if they are bundled, the muscles are like a condensed fat and the air is like a quiet orchid, and the coquettish and boneless are three points into the glamorous.

The Liang family whispered in his ear to briefly remind Yuheng that the important concubine was titled to the family background.

The queen was talking about the scene, Yu Heng raised her head slightly, took the opportunity to glance at Yuan Guifei, and sighed, it was really a stunning beauty, no wonder the emperor was fascinated.

As soon as his eyes fell on Yuan Guifei's face, he bumped into Yuan Guifei's playful eyes that seemed to be smiling.

"Niangniang, whose family is this little girl? It's so much fun! ”

Yuan Guifei covered her red lips and asked the queen, but her eyes looked at Yu Heng and said with a smile.

"Huh?" The queen followed Yuan Guifei's gaze.

When he saw the Liang family, he immediately said, "But the third girl from the Hou Mansion of Shou'an?" ”

The Liang family got up and reported, "Back to the queen's mother, exactly." ”

The queen's light face was suddenly dyed with a slight smile, "It's the first time I've seen this child, and my aunt has hidden it too well, so raise her head and show it to the palace." ”

Yu Heng raised her head as she said, her dark jade-like eyes were round, which complemented her fair and round face, which was very pleasing.

The queen smiled and nodded, "A blessed good boy." ”

"Xie Niangniang."

Yu Heng saluted and thanked him when he heard the voice.

"Get up and take your seats."

"Yes."

The corners of Yuan Guifei's mouth seemed to be smiling, and her eyes lowered slightly, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

The palace banquet began lively.

It is worthy of being the imperial chef in the palace, the craftsmanship is different, the dishes are not only varied and complex, but also the taste is excellent.

Yu Heng ate one dish after another reservedly.

Yuqing gently pulled Yuheng's sleeve.

"Third sister, pay attention."

"Notice what?" Yu Heng's eyes widened in confusion.

"It's just... Eat less. Yuqing was a little embarrassed, and several noble ladies looked at them with disdain in their eyes, and looked at them from time to time.

The girl's skin is naturally not ordinarily thin.

"Is the starving ghost reincarnated? Die of disgrace. Yu Xian said disdainfully.

The Hou Mansion is not lacking in her mouthful.

"Second sister, talk less!" Yuqing scolded softly.

"Don't you know it's a blessing to be able to eat?"

Yu Heng glanced at Yu Xian, not bothering to pay attention to her.

"It's not a pig, eat so much!" The eldest sister knew that she was obviously Xue Yuheng who only cared about her appetite and lost the image of the Houfu girl.

If others think that all the girls in Shou'an Houfu are like this, wouldn't they be difficult to find their in-laws?

Who would want a vulgar girl to be a daughter-in-law?

"Then don't eat a bite, give it to me."

Yu Heng didn't argue with her, and directly moved the plate of dim sum in front of her to herself.

That's my favorite snowflake cake!

Yu Xian's words were stuck in her throat, and her face was indignant.

She was embarrassed, so she ate two pieces!

And so it was taken!

Yuqing pushed the remaining snowflake crisp in front of him in front of Yuxian, "Second sister and third sister, don't quarrel." ”

Yuxian snorted softly, pinched a piece of snowflake cake with a handkerchief, put it in her mouth, and ate it in small bites.

Yu Heng was helpless, and put the snowflake cake he took from Yu Xian in front of Yu Qing.

"Sister, let's eat."

"Oops!"

The palace maid who was about to serve the wine in the back was tripped by something, her center of gravity was unstable, and she threw herself towards Yuheng.

Yu Heng's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly supported her.

The person did not fall, but half of Yu Heng's arm was wet with the poured wine.
