Chapter 139: There is no good feast
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, the scale of the palace banquet is larger, there are more rules, the official team of entering the palace to receive the banquet is also longer, the number of men in the front hall is only increasing, and the faces of the women in the harem are inseparable from the Dragon Boat Festival.
Feeling that queuing is a physical job, Nian Qian'an can't move his hands and feet, so he has to move his eyes and count the familiar faces to play.
I first saw that the old lady Yu was in front of the team of foreign women, and she was secretly beating the old waist and smiled: The old lady Yu, who is very selfish, did not pretend to be sick this time, and she and Princess An He did not divide the team, and personally took Nian Ganran with her.
Nian Qian'an's eyes fell on Nian Ganran's back, and he gave a thumbs up in his heart: In just a few months, Dafang's dim sum shop has opened a semicolon, Chinese pastries and Western dim sum are sold separately, and in addition to the wine business, new businesses such as soap and perfume have been launched one after another.
I heard that there are shares of Jiaofangdian in the two items of Chinese pastry and Xinyingsheng, and it is said that Yu Haitang is in the middle and the Seven Emperor Daughters are the capital, but everyone can understand that it is nominally the Seven Emperor Daughters who are shareholders, but behind it is Jiang Guifei's intention to help Nian Ganran.
If it weren't for the fact that Nian Ganran was fourteen years old and was a girl's family, he was not suitable to be the companion of the Eighth Prince, and he couldn't afford to be a teacher of the Eighth Prince, Jiang Guifei would not have loved the Eighth Prince, and saw that the Eighth Prince greatly admired Nian Ganran's carpentry skills, and turned around and lifted Nian Ganran.
Nian was willing to act in a measured manner, and the old lady took pity on her, a pair of old eyes had their own experience, and after seeing that the opportunity only fell on the young Eighth Prince, it did not restrict the exchanges between the children.
The weak big house is gradually improving.
A proper counterattack of "crossing the orphan girl who admits her fate and does not admit defeat, and strives to fight for the future"!
Nian Qian'an silently praised Nian Ganran, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to see Nian Ganran's girlfriend group - Yu Haitang was naturally not in the team, the status of the Yasukuni Mansion was remarkable, Pei's position was not far from the old lady Yu, and he was also in front of the team of foreign women, and he didn't see Xu Zhizhu beside him, only with Shan Huaisha.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is not as good as the Dragon Boat Festival, maybe it is because Xu Zhizhu is reluctant to enter the palace to endure hardships, or maybe because of the rumors in the market, deliberately separating Shan Huaisha and Xu Zhizhu?
When I read my mother's Mid-Autumn Festival filial piety when she entered the house to send the shop, she didn't forget to make up for the gossip she brought before: the rumors in the market that had been spread seemed to have never existed, and disappeared without a trace overnight after the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Is Xu Yuezhong's affectionate plan getting what he wants?
Or did Pei Shi refuse to do it and quietly erased the beginning and tail?
There were many little girls in front of and behind the team who couldn't hold their hands, and they also secretly looked at Shan Huaisha in different eyes.
Those rumors in the market, I'm afraid they have already reached the ears of many people, right?
There was no movement in the Yasukuni Mansion.
Pei Shi and Shan Huaisha also seem to be fine.
Nian Qian'an silently sighed for Xu Yue, his eyes swept over the queue of military attachΓ©s and dependents, first saw Nian Qiuran following Zhou's side well, and then saw Xu alone, his face seemed to be happy and worried, and he thought that he could see Li Feixue today.
Miss Li Shi and Li Feixue became princesses and concubines one after another, and the rest of the concubines were all locked up in her house without taking half of them, fortunately, Li Feixue was very favored after entering the prince's office, not to mention the palace, even outside the palace heard about it.
Yesterday was supposed to be the day of returning to the door on the third day, and it is said that Li Feixue is not qualified to return to the door, but she can still send a heavy box to return to the door, which shows the degree of favor.
Xu's hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and he could barely suppress the joy in his heart.
Nian Qian'an pursed her lips and smiled, and saw that in the queue of civil officials and female dependents, the cheap uncle Fang, who was also alone, was slightly conspicuous, she had no daughters under her knees, and the Liu family had no concubines and no concubines.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is autumn in a blink of an eye, is it worried about Liu Qingzhuo's imperial examination?
To tell the truth, although Liu Qingzhuo and Nian Xia Zhang are a little neurotic, they can really endure hardships when they read books, and they really never stepped out of the Liu family and the third room after studying hard behind closed doors.
As far as things are concerned, Liu Qingzhuo and Nian Xiazhang are very worthy of admiration.
Nian Qian'an retracted his gaze, looked at the team of external women, and then looked at the team of women, all the female relatives were not divided into left and right, inside and outside, although their demeanors were different, but they did not affect the good mood of the festival because of the Feiyuwei case that had just ended.
At least on the surface, everyone was happy with the good news that came out of the palace later.
Following Hui Concubine, a few low-level concubines were diagnosed with a happy pulse a few days ago, and the emperor rewarded the harem early this morning, and said three times in a row, which was very good!
What a ball.
Double happiness during the Dragon Boat Festival, and double happiness during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Nian Qian'an secretly pouted: The four words of double happiness are really cheap and easy to use, every time the bloody wind and rain blows, the whole double happiness comes to the door, and the routines are all the emperor's routines.
She tasted the world here, and the emperor climbed up the tower of Desheng Gate with a sigh, and after saying a Mid-Autumn Festival greeting from the elder, saying that everyone was eating and drinking, having fun, and having fun with the people, the dragon's heart floated down the city tower briskly, and the dragon's claws just domineeringly helped the dragon chariot handle, followed by a crisp and sharp whip sound.
After that, there is no need to repeat the red tape, only that the emperor led the officials of the court and the central government to the Taihe Palace, and the speed of the women's procession was finally greatly improved, and they swooped into the Jiaotai Hall used by the harem to hold a big banquet.
Before the official start, it was finally human, leaving a quarter of an hour for the tired women to loosen their muscles and rejuvenate their spirits.
Xiao Douhua and Xiao Douqing had already been ordered by Empress Dowager Chen, and immediately followed Nian Qian'an.
Probably experienced the turmoil of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Douqing, who escaped from death after a meal, seemed to have been trained, his words and deeds became more and more calm, and he smiled quietly and watched Xiao Douhua chattering to ask for a greeting, and looked at the empty space to get close to Nian Qian'an and whispered: "The slave has secretly arranged manpower everywhere in the main hall and the warm pavilion, and there will never be any more mistakes, and you will be implicated." β
Nian Qian'an saw that her smile revealed dark circles under her eyes, not like a festival but like a ghost gate, worried that she would be too nervous and go to the other extreme, so she hurriedly loosened the strings for her, "Don't scare yourself, it makes me very nervous." If you think about it, who else can I be implicated in? β
Nian Ganran is now covered by Jiang Guifei, Nian Qiuran is a three-room concubine in the end, that is, she is not valued by the Nian family and is a complete little transparent, even if she wants to be separated from the Zhou family for a while, she will be with Nian Qian'an, who will be full of calculations Nian Qiuran?
really has the heart to involve the home, and it won't be Li Feixue who had an accident last time.
And Li Feixue is already a well-known favorite concubine of the six princes in the capital.
The scale of her girlfriend group is abusive, but the only people she really cares about are Li Feixue and Nian Qiuran, so after all, there is really no one left who can implicate her anymore.
Xiao Douqing: "...... The sixth girl is right, it is the slave who thinks too much. β
distressed and funny Nian Qian'an: "...... It's better to think too much than to think about nothing, so keep up the good work! β
Xiao Douqing smiled, and the dark circles under her eyes didn't seem to be so heavy.
Xiao Douhua on the side seems to have no heart and lungs, but in fact, these days, seeing that Xiao Douqing's mental state is not right, she is secretly worried, and at this time, she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, pulling Xiao Douqing and saying with a smile: "It's still the sixth girl who will hurt people, and one sentence made my sister suddenly." Six girls, the slaves and maids serve you into the main hall. β
The second half of the sentence was said to Nian Qian'an, and the two helped Nian Qian'an to enter the table, standing behind Ann and Princess Nian Qian'an, distributing vegetables and adding tea and wine.
They no longer worry about what moths will come out, but some people are rushing to make trouble.
At this time, the banquet had just begun, and the ladies and grandmothers of the families sat together with the girls in the family, and the prince's new concubines also stood behind their mothers-in-law and served.
Miss Li Shi-now it's time to call Xiao Li, she respectfully filled the fruit wine for the princess, and squeezed away the other third prince concubine by turning around and retreating, with both the provocation of the third prince and concubine in her eyes, and the disdain that emerged after turning her back on the princess.
Compared with her-for-tat small movements, the third prince's concubine had a quiet and weak appearance, and she reluctantly avoided it sideways, but a smile of good play flashed on her half-hanging face.
The sisters of the Li family have a concubine, and they are all concubines, and outsiders will inevitably be divided into superiors, and Xiao Li's virtue is not on the table, and he also wants to compete for superiority.
Sure enough, I saw that Xiao Li took the opportunity to stop beside Li Feixue, and said softly at the corner of his mouth: "The fourth sister is not what it used to be, and now who in the prince's office doesn't know the name of the fourth sister?" It's only been a few days since she entered the door, and she has become a favorite concubine known to everyone. The fourth sister is really a good skill. Once I flew on the branches, I didn't even recognize my sister, and my sister was worried about the fourth sister in vain, and I wanted to find the fourth sister to get close to her several times, but she was repeatedly stopped by the fourth sister and couldn't enter......"
Li Feixue raised her eyes, but what she saw was Queen Zhou's desktop, and seeing that Aunt Zhou was serving skillfully and meticulously, it was not her turn to intervene, so she lowered her eyes again, as if she hadn't heard what Xiao Li said, and stood still without moving.
Xiao Li hated her as a high-ranking concubine the most, and said more and more sarcastically: "Don't think that you can become a real phoenix by flying on a branch." What if you crawl out of your mother's belly? In the end, it's not like me, I can only be a concubine! Your Royal Highness has prepared a special dowry for me, what about you? No matter how decent he is, he only got an empty word from His Highness the Sixth. β
Why is it for Li Feixue not to accept a second concubine, the beautiful words of a man who is obsessed with his heart for a while are just good-looking!
Although her concubine ceremony was hasty, the third prince made an exception for her and asked Jiang Guifei for permission, and she made a serious dowry, and often came to her house in private, which was a hundred times better for her than her mother and sister!
How dare the Li family withhold her dowry, and don't they have to accompany her as a "dowry" as it is?
She got the benefits like this, I don't know how much better she is than Li Feixue!
What does Li Feixue have?
It's just two personal maids from the Li family, as well as those so-called companions who can't be brought into the palace.
It's better to have than not to have!
The palace maid specially assigned to her by the third prince is still not bowing down to her yet!
"I just hope that the fourth sister can always be so favored, don't lose your favor when the time comes, lose face, and have no landing." The more Xiao Li spoke, the more proud he became, and he squinted at Li Feixue and said hatefully: "I want to see how long your favorite concubine can last!" Don't wait for the phoenix to become a wild bird, it's too late to turn around and recognize my sister. I am not as ruthless as my fourth sister, I will never dare to deny my mother, if my mother asks for me for you one day, I will definitely 'entertain' my mother! β
In the end, I almost gritted my teeth.
Li Feixue finally looked at her, but she was not annoyed or angry, smiled slightly, suddenly raised her hand, and slapped her hard like electricity.
There was a crisp snap, and Xiao Li's carefully depicted face instantly swollen with incomparably clear slap prints.
The big ear scraper with full force slapped Xiao Li and forgot where he was, and he was shocked and hurt for a while, and couldn't help but let out a scream.
The hall, which only had the sound of dishes clattering, was so quiet in an instant that only the aftermath of Xiao Li's exclamation remained.
The girls were shocked or stunned, and looked at the head of the royal ladies in unison.
The ladies almost choked together, and they scolded angrily in their hearts: let people enter the palace to receive the banquet unpleasantly!
Sure enough, there was no good feast.
Tsk, what's wrong?
