Chapter 45: The Palace Banquet

As a new member of the royal family, the New Year's palace banquet is considered to be Ji Yingxin's official appearance in the entire royal family, although it is not the top priority in the palace banquet, but it is not allowed to be neglected.

On this day, Ji Yingxin also dressed up with all her heart, paying attention to a prominent but not arrogant, so as not to steal the limelight between the palace maidens and sisters, and provoke people's envy.

On this day, the concubines up and down the house, even the pregnant Li family, were sour in their hearts, no matter how favored they were in the house, concubines were concubines, during the New Year's palace banquet, they were qualified to change into court clothes, wake up and dress up and participate with Yinzhen, only Ji Yingxin was alone, and the others were not even qualified to take a look at it and serve from the side.

The New Year's Palace Banquet, although it is one of the banquets with the highest specifications in the Qing Dynasty, but if you really want to talk about it, it may not be better than eating your own at home.

In addition, there are Kangxi and harem concubines, and there are royal relatives, under the eyes of everyone, they can only be more or less reserved, often how those dishes are served, how to serve them, even when they come, they use a little pastry, and they can't stand the cold of winter, and the calories are consumed too quickly, and they can't, all they can do is drink.

Fortunately, the wine used here is warm, more or less, in this winter, it can add a warmth, therefore, if you don't notice it, Ji Yingxin will inevitably use a few more glasses.

Seeing this, Yinzhen said this to the fifth elder brother Yinqi on the one hand, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but persuade in a low voice: "This is the hundred fruit fragrance from the southern attack, the taste is sweet and elegant, it looks soft, but in fact it is full of stamina, you don't drink well, don't be greedy." “

If it was usual, after listening to Yinzhen's words, Ji Yingxin would naturally obey, but today, not only is the New Year coming, but also because of the drinking, at this moment, after drinking a few more glasses, the reaction couldn't help but slow down, hearing Yinzhen's words, he looked at Yinzhen in a daze, and a delicate face was a little confused and confused, but it looked ignorant and cute.

"What did you say?"

With three points of drunkenness, Ji Yingxin's voice is a little more soft and glutinous than the solemn and polite calmness on weekdays, the soft voice is like the paw of a little kitten, gently resting on his chest, gently scratching, crispy, numb, Yinzhen, who has never seen Ji Yingxin like this, is stunned.

I felt that the other party's eyes were shining, as if there was a pool of spring water, which was moving, and I was stunned on the spot for a while, but I didn't know what to say.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother?"

At this time, an awkward voice came, Yinzhen came back to his senses instantly, and saw Yinqi looking at him with a puzzled expression, "Why is the fourth brother stunned, but what happened?" Yinqi asked.

Because of the perennial maintenance in front of the Queen Mother, Yinzhen's Mongolian is good, but the official language is a lot worse, so the tone is a little weird, and in the palace, it is also quite criticized.

Yinzhen knows that he is sensitive, don't look at Yinqi is not outstanding in the palace, but just because he is by the side of the queen mother, he is destined to be a person that the prince has to respect, and quickly explained: "It's me no, this is not your sister-in-law, maybe because of the cold weather, I drank two more glasses, and now it seems that I am a little worried, I lost my mind for a while, and I will treat the fifth brother slowly, and I ask the fifth brother to forgive me." ”

When Yinqi heard this, he turned sideways and looked at Ji Yingxin, who was sitting next to Yinzhen, and saw that although the other party was sitting upright and meticulous, his eyes were blurred, his cheeks were crimson, and there was a faint hint of wine on his body.

"So that's the case, since the fourth sister-in-law is drunk, then the younger brother can't say anything, the fourth brother and hurry up and let the fourth sister-in-law go down to sober up, the winter night is cold, if you are infected with wind and cold, I'm afraid it's not beautiful."

"Thank you for your understanding." Yin Zhen said when he heard this, and then hurriedly glanced at Cui Xiao Hongyuan, "You two, quickly help Fu Jin to go to the side hall to rest for a while, and sober up." ”

"Yes." Cui Xiaohongrui said busily, and then hurriedly helped Ji Yingxin and walked out.

Speaking of which, the two didn't expect Ji Yingxin to get drunk today, although Ji Yingxin's amount of wine was not very good, but because the wine he drank before was not a low-degree fruit wine, he knew before he was drunk that he stopped drinking and didn't drink, only today, because it was a New Year's palace banquet, Kangxi specially asked people to take out the tribute, and Ji Yingxin had never drunk it in the past.

Although it is a fruit wine, it is different from the general fruit wine with a low degree, after being quenched by a hundred fruits, although the fruit aroma is refined, it is extremely sweet, and the taste of the wine is hidden, but the actual degree is much better than the general agar jade liquid, and it is full of stamina.

Ji Yingxin didn't know what to do, and thought it was ordinary fruit wine, because of the cold weather, and the palace banquet was not good at moving chopsticks, so he could only drink two more cups.

If at this time, Ji Yingxin's mind is still clear, wait until the two maids find a side hall where no one is around, and place her to rest.

On the other hand, although Yinzhen asked Cui Xiaohongrui to send Ji Yingxin away, he was still more or less worried in his heart, plus before the palace banquet ended, Ji Yingxin had to come back and keep the New Year together, which was the number of etiquette, although because of drunkenness, the absence was not a big deal, but the dignified prince Fujin, who was drunk at the palace banquet and did not wake up, would only be said to be lacking in etiquette and hindering his reputation.

Therefore, seeing that he drank a few glasses of wine with Yinqi and chatted a few words, two clans came up to say hello, Yinzhen found an excuse and also came to the side hall, only to see that in the side hall, Cui Xiao Hongrui took a handkerchief soaked in hot water, carefully wiped Ji Yingxin's face, massaged the acupuncture points on her body, and sobered her up.

Seeing this, Yin Zhen stepped forward and asked, "How is Fujin?" When will you come to your senses? “

"I've seen the fourth master, and the fourth master is auspicious." The two hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite, get up and talk back." Yinzhen waved his hand.

"Back to the fourth master, Fu Jin used to participate in banquets, the most self-controlled, never before getting drunk, stop drinking, therefore, this is the first time the slave maid has seen Fu Jin drunk, as for when Fu Jin can wake up, the slave and maid are not clear." Seeing this, Hongrui said.

Hearing this, Yin Zhen frowned slightly, "This can't be done, Cuixiao, you are fast, go back and ask Zhang Deqing to go to my yard to find a hangover pill, Honghui, you go and make a cup of strong tea again, see if it is useful." ”
