Chapter Ninety-Four: Attend the Annual Banquet

The implication of Han Shanggong is that the emperor took the initiative to use this material to make clothes for Yao Chuxi, and Guan Shanggong can't be the master.

There is also a meaning that the emperor treats his master sincerely, otherwise he would not use this material to make clothes for her.

You know, how much of a privilege is it to use the same material as the Queen Mother? Even the emperor has to think and think, where do ordinary people have that blessing?

When Yao Chuxi heard this, he didn't dare to wear it, and his heart was dull for a while.

Or did Han Shanggong say, "What are you afraid of?" If you wear the emperor's reward, he will be happy to wear it, but if you don't wear it, it will make the emperor unhappy, and others can't easily get on it, isn't it a waste of this good thing? ”

Although Yao Chuxi didn't say anything, Han Shanggong told the truth, she couldn't wear it if she didn't wear it, and the clothes were also put on the shelf, and she had to make the emperor angry, so she had to wear it anyway, why not?

In addition to clothes, there are several sets of jewelry, each one is special when you take it out, one set looks so pleasing to the eye, it is heavy in your hand, obviously it is all real money and silver is not adulterated at all.

If this outfit is to participate in the New Year's banquet, will he be drowned by the foaming stars when he comes back?

This matter is not allowed to be thought about, the first New Year's banquet in the first month is close at hand, and sooner or later you have to participate.

During the day, it is lively everywhere, and the concubines are busy in the room, preparing to 'dominate the crowd' at the New Year's banquet tonight.

He Jieyu turned out a hairpin that the emperor had rewarded her before, wanting to remind the emperor of her kindness in the past.

Wearing a purple and emerald skirt, with a turquoise plain velvet beaded jacket outside, He Jieyu looks smart and beautiful.

She prepared a lot of things to say to the emperor, and even thought about how she would answer if the emperor took the initiative to talk to her at the New Year's banquet, and wondered if she would accompany her at night.

But she never thought that a hairpin could save the emperor's heart, and the woman who had been snubbed by the emperor for thousands of years would not be so miserable.

The New Year's banquet was held in the Zhengxuan Hall next to the Taihe Hall after the sky had just been darkened, and Yao Chuxi was the first time he came back here, his eyes kept looking around, and he almost tripped under his feet.

The rain was waiting for her, and it was the first time she had seen such a gorgeous and rich woman, and she was a little surprised.

Even so, she remembered the purpose of this visit very clearly, that is, to serve the master.

Yao Chuxi is an early arrival, the lowest rank in this hall is the beauty, and the concubines under the beauty are not allowed to participate, so the talented people everywhere Baolin did not come, and they were in the back garden together to 'keep the year'.

said that it was to keep the New Year, but in fact, it was the head of the dining room Yuan who made a few decent dishes to the back garden, and the inner palace supervisor rewarded some things, even if it was the New Year.

Cao Meiren arrived before Yao Chuxi came, and the two smiled at each other, even if they had greeted each other.

Cao Meiren's dress today is very eye-catching, and if you think about it carefully, everyone at the New Year's banquet wants to suppress others, so they naturally want to dress up.

But even if she wants to come out again, she can't overstep her duty, otherwise even if she trespasses, it is possible for the emperor to blast her out of the New Year's banquet in anger.

She was wearing an apricot-red cotton dress today, a warm cloak of brocade fur and a ring of fluff around her neck, and it was not difficult to see that this dress was newly made for the New Year.

She wore a gold-inlaid beaded butterfly hairpin on her head, hanging down two long strands of pearl emerald, swinging on her right cheek, and she didn't dare to make a big move.

Yao Chuxi didn't look at her carefully, and sat down according to the guidance of the palace people, while Luoyu stood behind her.

Luo Meiren also came, and with an arrogant posture as always, he decided that the first one was only as high as his own rank, so he didn't collect it at all.

She had participated in this year's banquet once, and she had more or less experience than Yao Chuxi, who participated for the first time.

Cao Meiren looked at her with contempt in her eyes, who didn't know that she was now dragging her face? It's been a long time since I was not favored, but I'm still holding on there, not to mention how embarrassing it is.

That day, when Deng Cairen and their birthdays Cao Meiren also went, seeing that Luo Meiren was hypocritical there, she had to go to the dining room to order, and in the end, the dishes came up but no one could eat them, and they were all wasted.

What she thinks in her heart is what she thinks in her heart, Cao Meiren still has to accompany her politely, smiling and nodding, and Luo Meiren also responds to her like this.

Luo Meiren's dress today is simply impeccable, much more gorgeous than Cao Meiren.

Compared with Yao Chuxi, Luo Meiren is really not enough to see.

There are more people coming gradually, compared to the cards of Concubine De and their birthdays, there are a lot of people who come this time, Yao Chuxi saw all these famous and unfamous people outside the back garden.

She also saw Xu Jieyu.

Xu Jieyu can be said to have completely fallen out of favor, so she was forgotten by the emperor and everyone, and she didn't even be polite to others when she came in, and went straight to sit down.

Yao Chuxi also saw Jiang Zhaoyi, He Jieyu and Xie Meiren.

There are two others she hasn't seen, and a palace person next to her whispered to remind her, saying that this is Tong Xiuyi from Changchun Garden, and that is Liu Zhaorong from Yunning Palace.

Yao Chuxi remembered that Xiao Meiren was Xiao Zhaorong before, and it seems that this Liu Zhaorong was later promoted to Zhaorong.

There are really a lot of people in this palace.

After a while, Concubine De and Concubine Qing came belatedly, sitting on both sides of the emperor, one left and one right.

One has two princes, and the other is temporarily in charge of palace affairs, and it is not surprising that the future throne is among the two.

After they all sat down, the emperor also came.

Pan Zhen'an was on his left, Duan Kui followed behind the emperor, and the six eunuchs followed in a vertical row.

The emperor got up and said a lot of words, which roughly meant to pray for good weather in the coming year, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the palace and the palace were united, and the errand should be on a good errand, and the concubines also managed the palace people under their hands.

Concubine De got up slowly, and also said a few words, although it was the icing on the cake, others may pass it as soon as they heard it, but compared Concubine Qing.

After speaking, she raised the wine glass gently, dragged the bottom of the glass with her other hand, and motioned to the emperor, who also raised the glass with her, and the rest of the people also drank it.

This is how the New Year's Banquet began.

In fact, it's not as interesting as Yao Chuxi thought, but it's just to watch songs and dances and listen to music, no matter how bad it is, it's just for the food at the New Year's banquet?

Yao Chuxi didn't know the thoughts of the women next to him.

Sitting in the same room with the emperor, although they can't do anything, they may also be noticed by the emperor, so they don't think they will let go of this opportunity, even if they sit here all night, then they will come.

As for Concubine De and Concubine Qing, others speculated that the two of them were secretly on the bar, and they both played a pivotal role in the palace, and wouldn't they be one of them in the future?

Concubine Qing was watching the place near the door from her position, because Yao Chuxi was sitting there at the moment, concentrating on singing and dancing.

The positions of the beauties are relatively far away, far away from the emperor.

She was dressed in the emperor's rose-flowered clothes, bright rose purple, and she could be said to be the most conspicuous one among the beauties.

A set of hanging beads on the head but the moon hairpin, not a lot but really gorgeous, and then look at the Luo Meiren sitting next to him, I can't wait to put the hair full of beaded jewelry, so that I won't scratch my scalp if I walk and fall?

In addition to the set of expensive and unusually low-key heads, Yao Chuxi's ears also had a pair of red gold pearl earrings, and Concubine Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, making sure that she was not mistaken.

Although she doesn't have that set of jewelry, but she is in the position of a concubine, she can't always see this idea, she sees the material of the earrings clearly, and then looks closely at the pattern material on the skirt, and can be called the middle palace level if you take it out.

To put it bluntly, it is similar to the queen's jewelry.

A wave of jealousy rose in Concubine Qing's heart, she looked at the emperor sitting on top silently, everything was natural when she got up to talk and raise wine, and she didn't pay special attention to this Yao beauty, but she put all her love on the bright side, did she really think that everyone else was blind?

The more I think about it, the more angry I become, although there are no children under her knees, they are the biggest stumbling blocks for her.

The emperor is in his prime, and there will only be more heirs in the future, if there is another prince left in the future, what will happen to the two princes? Concubine Qing didn't dare to continue to guess, and raised her head and drank the wine in the cup.

The dishes at the night banquet are protected by insulated food boxes before they are served on the table, and they are scalded with boiling water at the bottom of the plate in front of the Zhengxuan Palace.

Yuan Shao is really worried about which master at the New Year's banquet will have a bad stomach, and she will be implicated at that time.

Luoyu was waiting behind her master, and she paid special attention to the concubines present.

For the first time, she had seen all the faces in the palace.

She paid special attention to Gao Shunyi.

Gao Shunyi was sandwiching the dishes to the plate in front of her at the moment, looking no different, no different from others.

But Luo Yu noticed that Gao Shunyi always looked at Concubine De from time to time, Princess Yun Cheng sat on the other side of Concubine De, the two were like mother and daughter, Luo Yu felt that Gao Shunyi must be red-eyed.

Why was she beaten by the emperor? This Luoyu guessed that she had done something wrong with Princess Yun Ming, so that the emperor was angry, and then took Princess Yun Cheng away and sent her to Ning Shou Palace.

It should also be because of this that Gao Shunyi is wearing a jade sprinkled poplar pleated skirt today, which should have been bright at the New Year's banquet, but she is dressed in bright green, and the only bright place is the pattern on the dress.

Even the jewelry earrings are dark, which is really depressing, if everyone is dressed like this at the New Year's banquet, won't the emperor be angry?

She looked at the master in front of her, who was drinking tea in front of her at the moment, watching singing and dancing, and seemed to be paying no attention to anyone.

Yao Chuxi felt that Mr. Yuan's craftsmanship was left behind, because every dish at the New Year's banquet was delicious, and after the dishes were served, a few plates of dim sum were served, and each plate of dumplings was different.
