Chapter 35: The Palace Banquet
I heard a voice from outside, "Please cooperate with the lady of Prince Alcohol's Mansion for the routine inspection." ”
Ning Yi tilted her head, glanced at Guerjia, and seeing that she didn't react, she reached out and lifted the curtain, and at first glance saw Xu Zixu standing at the front.
"I've seen Fujin, I've seen Ning Yi Gege."
"Lord Xu." Ning Yi said hello.
"My lord, it's no different." The guard in the yellow coat walked to Xu Zixu's side after seeing the carriage and said goodbye.
Xu Zixu nodded and arched his hand towards Ning Yi and them, "Excuse me." ”
Ning Yi smiled and nodded at him and lowered the curtain.
The carriage slowly began to move forward.
After walking a little further, in the car, Guerjia opened his eyes and said lightly: "Now there are Han people in the forbidden army." ”
Ning Yi heard the dissatisfaction in her words, bowed her head and did not answer.
How many of today's Eight Banners disciples are still willing to enter the forbidden army to temper.
The carriage couldn't go forward, Ning Yi and Guerjia got out of the car, and the two sedan chairs stopped at the intersection.
Seeing people coming down, Xiao Huangmen immediately came up to play a swing, and said with a smile: "The two masters are auspicious, knowing that Fujin is pregnant, Princess Rongshou specially asked the servants to greet them here." ”
Princess Rongshou is deeply valued by the Queen Mother, and the current queen is not loved by the emperor, so there is only one name left, and now the affairs of the harem are held banquets, etc., most of which are handled by Princess Rongshou.
Today's banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, and a large screen embroidered with rich flowers was used to separate the men and women.
Men and women are all the same age, Ning Yi looked at this scene, and secretly thought that this looked like a large-scale blind date scene.
The Queen Mother sat on the top, dressed luxuriously and leaned on the pillow, and Princess Rongshou accompanied the Queen Mother to talk.
Guerjia took Ning Yi to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother beckoned Guarjia to the front, asked her to sit next to her, asked her about her body with concern, and asked Ning Yi a few words by the way.
After Ning Yi replied, he stepped aside.
Before she sat down, Yun Liu didn't know where to come out of here, and pulled her to sit in a corner where there were few people.
"What are you doing here?"
"Hide." Yun Liu leaned over to Ning Yi and said mysteriously, "Do you know what this banquet is for? ”
Ning Yi looked outside, the girls were carefully dressed, with fragrant clothes and sideburns, gathered together in the garden, either smiling or gentle as water or hearty and pure, on the other side, the teenagers were full of spirit, it was the brightest season, the same age as flowers, so beautiful.
This also needs to be said, "Naturally, the Queen Mother wants to be the old matchmaker." ”
Yun Liu pursed his lips, "There are quite a few daughters or sons of Han families here. ”
Ning Yi hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, "Although the Queen Mother's trick is not very clever, but at this time, marriage is indeed not a good way to tie the Manchu and Han together." ”
Before the national disaster, the Manchurians finally had to let go of the idea that they thought they were superior to others in the past hundred years.
Yun Liu glanced disdainfully in the direction of the room, "I just can't get used to this way." The royal arrogance in her bones does not allow her to be as willing to bow her head as others as the Queen Mother.
Ning Yi's face was slightly condensed, her heart sank, and she organized her thoughts, "Do you think the Manchu and Han should not marry?" ”
Yun Liu gave her a strange look and replied, "Of course not." I have never discriminated against the Han people, I just can't get used to seeing the queen mother and those royal nobles who used to boast of being superior, but when something happens, they can easily put down their posture, but their hearts are still high up in a charity, which is the same as being a ...... What, what is the difference between the archway and the archway. ”
Ning Yi frowned and laughed, "You went out of the country for a while, but you have no taboos more and more, and you dare to talk like this in the palace." ”
Yun Liu also frowned when he heard this, and only smiled after a while, and laughed at himself: "Indeed, I should have a good restrain." After a pause, she seemed to sigh: "Ping'an, sometimes I really think that as the most veritable character of the Qing Dynasty, I am not only inferior to Rongshou, but also inferior to you." ”
Ning Yi looked at her worriedly.
"When this country was about to fall, I thought many times that I wouldn't come back."
Ning Yi stepped forward and didn't know what to say to comfort her, was it her fault? She just didn't want to go back to this imperial city that had trapped her all her life, she was just scared.
Suddenly, Yun Liu paused, and the sorrow and self-blame on his face just now swept away, and he pulled Ning Yi, leaving only one sentence, "I left beforehand." With that, he slipped away from the side path.
Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, her face-changing kung fu had really improved a lot.
Looking back, Ning Yi knew who she was hiding?
Xu Chang continued to say a blessing and asked Ning Yi, "Ning Yi Gege, can you see six Gege?" ”
Ning Yi didn't reply to him, but asked with a smile, "Why isn't Lord Xu on duty?" ”
Xu Changxu continued: "The slave was also invited today, and the guard happened to change shifts. Although he was anxious, he still replied with a graceful and serious manner.
In this remote pavilion, there are lonely men and widows, the men are handsome and upright, and the women are gentle and beautiful.
Ning Yi smiled.
Seeing that she didn't seem to tell him where Yun Liu's whereabouts were, Xu Changxu frowned, and was a little anxious: "If Gege is fine, Changxu will retire first." ”
"Master Xu stays." Ning Yi pointed to the direction where Yun Liu had just escaped and motioned to him.
Xu Changxu's heart was relieved, and he arched his hand towards Ning Yi, "Thank you." ”
After saying goodbye, he was going to chase after him.
Ning Yi looked at the back of him leaving, and suddenly raised his voice: "Lord Xu, do you know the purpose of the Queen Mother's banquet today?" After speaking, she smiled, showing a hint of mischievousness, "I heard that five years ago, the current Queen Mother canceled the law that Manchu and Han do not intermarry. Speaking of which, Ning Yi looked at the slightly messy pace, and laughed out loud, this pair is really strange, the man chasing the woman, thinking of Yun Liu's flustered appearance just now, Ning Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of watching a good show.
Ning Yi turned around, puzzled, she seemed to have seen an acquaintance just now?
But shouldn't it?
At this time, Ning Yi suddenly heard a voice and remembered abruptly.
After the rockery.
"What kind of banquet is this, do the people in the palace look down on people so much?" Li Yuemei originally received an invitation to enter the palace for a banquet, and she prepared for five days to smash the best things on herself, thinking that she would be able to crush those ladies who claimed to be noble with her identity and appearance.
As a result, I realized that she looked like a nouveau riche who had never seen money, she went to talk to those noble girls, but no one paid attention to her, although she had suffered since she was a child, but such cold eyes and ridicule made her really wronged.
