Chapter 352: Palace Banquet
Rich people buy New Year's goods, and they can get it in one day. Three days before the Chinese New Year, he knocked on the door of Wei Jin's house.
Tian Ruyue was petting the kitten, Wei Jin suddenly walked in and handed over an invitation, Tian Ruyue glanced at it and didn't reach out to pick it up, "No time, no hands, tell me directly." "The invitation card is a thin piece of paper, how can there be a cute kitten.
Wei Jin watched his daughter-in-law touch and kiss the kitten with a dark face, and immediately protested: "How dirty the kitten is, don't kiss me, kiss me." "The number of times you kiss him can be counted on five fingers, too much!
Tian Ruyue stood up with the kitten in her arms and looked at him speechlessly, "Ask for face." His gaze fell on the invitation in his hand, "Who sent it?" ”
Speaking of business, Wei Jin's eyes sank slightly, "In the palace." ”
In the palace? Tian Ruyue frowned, "What are you showing me for?" The emperor also invited me? Who knew that he saw Wei Jin shaking his head, "It was sent by the queen." ”
There are many rights and wrongs in the palace, especially at banquets.
Wei Jin threw the invitation on the table aside and asked, "What about the free waist card I gave you?" Take it with you when you attend the palace banquet the day after tomorrow. ”
"You really don't have to kneel down when you see the emperor and queen?" Tian Ruyue seemed to be suspicious.
Wei Jin smiled and reached out and touched her head, "Naturally, but it's still necessary to bend down and salute and make a look." ”
Tian Ruyue said that she understood, "Do you want to wear palace clothes?" ”
"No, I don't."
Although the palace costume is good-looking, it is too complicated, wearing it on the body can make people weigh several pounds, it is better not to wear it, it is light and comfortable to wear your own clothes, but you must avoid the color that cannot be worn, after all, the harem has a strict hierarchy, and the color is also one of the symbols of power, and ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to trespass.
Tian Ruyue likes blue, so on the day of the palace banquet, she wore a light blue jacket, "Do I wear it like this?" Tian Ruyue spun around in front of Wei Jin.
Wei Jin nodded, "Yes." "Light blue is the clothes worn by the lowest-ranking concubines in the palace, and the status is higher than that of the palace maids. The daughter-in-law likes to wear it, so naturally he won't say anything. With his status as a sworn brother to the emperor, even if his daughter-in-law wears red, it is nothing.
At the door, Wei Jing quietly looked at the pair of beautiful people in the room, the man was slim and jade, and the woman was delicate and lovely, and her eyes attracted the attention of the two people in the room. Wei Jin turned his head and saw Wei Jing standing at the door of the room, "You can't go to the palace banquet." ”
When the current emperor was still the second prince, he would be brought to the palace banquet every year, because he was afraid that he would be calculated by other brothers at the palace banquet and lose his favor in front of the emperor.
Every time my sister grinds hard and hard, she begs to bring her.
What is the Royal Palace? During the day, it seems to be solemn and majestic, but at night he can hear countless resentment shouts, as a big brother, he naturally doesn't want her to set foot on it.
But she thought that participating in the palace banquet was a symbol of status and a capital to show off, so she could only take her with her in the end.
Wei Jing has grown a lot, and she also knows that there is dirt hidden in the palace banquet, so she lowered her head and said honestly: "I'm not going, I'm just coming to see if you're ready, I'm afraid you'll be late." ”
Wei Jin glanced at her in surprise and pulled Tian Ruyue away. Go out and take a carriage to the palace, meet countless carriages and sedan chairs on the way and rush to the palace to have a banquet, the new emperor held a palace banquet in the first year of his accession to the throne, who dares to be late? Who would dare to be absent?
Before he reached the palace gate, he was only halfway there, and the coachman said that he could not move forward.
Wei Jin took Tian Ruyue out of the car and walked all the way over.
Tian Ruyue followed Wei Jin's side step by step, and saw that no matter which official she met, she greeted Wei Jin first, and Wei Jin bowed slightly to them in return. Although he has no rank, who dares to underestimate the sworn brother of the new emperor?
After the husband and wife walked by, people exchanged words and discussions.
"Why does this Wei Jin's face get better and better?" The short-lived ghost that everyone thought was now not only unable to die, but also had a beautiful flower by his side.
"Probably Oki...... Rush well? ”
In addition to the popular folk chongxi, dignitaries and nobles also often do this, some chongxi directly rushed people to death, then the bride was unlucky, and there were also chongxi after the groom became healthier day by day, so the ministers thought that chongxi had a role, and they didn't think that he was pretending.
After all, people's patience is limited, you can pretend to be a day or two, and it is great to pretend to be a few months, but you can't pretend to be more than ten years!
In fact, Wei Jin was a veritable sick man when he was young, but after meeting the dumb uncle who detoxified the poison on his body, he saw that he was weak and taught him martial arts, the enemy was too out of reach, Wei Jin continued to pretend to be sick even if he was sick, otherwise he would not have lived today, and he would have been cut down and eradicated.
When I came to the palace gate, I saw that many people were queuing, waiting for the guards guarding the palace gate to check the waist cards that allowed them to enter the palace before they were released. The maids or servants brought by those ministers are not allowed to enter the palace, they can only wait outside, and they can't leave half a step in winter, otherwise once they are prevented from finding out, they will be beaten at least and sold again.
Soon it was the turn of Wei Jin and Tian Ruyue.
Wei Jin took the initiative to hand over his waist card, and the guard respectfully took it with both hands, but he didn't look at it at all, handed it back and let him go immediately, turned around and stared at Tian Ruyue.
Tian Ruyue was about to learn from Wei Jin and handed over the waist card. Wei Jin suddenly said: "She is my wife." ”
The guards around subconsciously looked at Tian Ruyue's waist, and sure enough, they saw the legendary special waist card that did not need to kneel and immediately let him go.
Wei Jin took Tian Ruyue's hand and walked into the palace.
The first time she entered the palace, she was inevitably a little curious, Tian Ruyue looked around a few times, it was similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing, but the palace here was new, and she also saw the leading evergreen.
"He is now the leader of the Praetorian Guard, and the most favored close minister of the Emperor's side. The palace banquet is separated, you go to the banquet held by the queen, in case of an emergency, immediately inform the guards, and the husband will rush to your side immediately. "Because he had already greeted Evergreen in advance.
"Hmm."
The husband and wife walked together for a while, and sure enough, they parted ways, the eunuch led Wei Jin to turn left, and the palace maid led Tian Ruyue to turn right. In addition to her, there are naturally other female dependents. The ministers of the capital are all numbered, and the ladies naturally know each other, no matter what they are at home, when they arrive at the palace, they all become quails, and they follow behind the palace maids without squinting, and their walking posture is the same, and even the size of the step is about the same. If it weren't for the difference in appearance, body and the grade of clothes worn, people would mistakenly think that they were all carved out of the same mold.
Tian Ruyue, who had never learned court etiquette at all, was among them, which was particularly prominent. attracted both the ladies who accompanied her and the palace maids who passed by, and they peeked at her.
Seeing the special waist card dangling around her waist as she walked, the palace maids did not dare to treat her with contempt and slowness, and even flattered her carefully.
Even if the queen has to kneel when she sees the emperor, this lord is a sensation in the entire capital, envious of others, and famous in all directions.
