The family banquet on June 6 soon spread throughout the Forbidden City. Since it is a family banquet, all the concubines in the palace are present. The emperor only said to the outside world that the queen was pregnant, so he took advantage of the excitement to hold a family banquet, which was also considered a late congratulations. The Queen Mother didn't have any opinions, and nodded in agreement. It's just that Concubine Zhao is very reluctant, but unfortunately there is no reason to refuse, so she can only agree to it.

There were still five days left on June 6, and the emperor favored Wang Qiao, and had slept in Zhongcui Palace for several days. Although it is actually to see the dream, Wang Qiao has such a true temperament, and the emperor also appreciates it a little, so compared to the Qin family, the reward and grace are much more.

The most uncomfortable thing is Li Jinghan, although Wang Qiao always pulls Li Jinghan together, but the emperor always doesn't seem to look at her. If Zheng Mengjing comes, the emperor will always ask Wang Qiao to make something delicious and let everyone eat together. The people of Zhong Cui Palace are like mirrors in their hearts, the emperor loves dreams the most, and because Wang Qiao is straightforward and really loves her, only Li Jinghan has the least sense of existence. But she always thinks that she is more beautiful and connotative than Wang Qiao, and if the emperor tastes it carefully, he must love her more than Wang Qiao.

"There are five days left until the sixth banquet of June, and since it is going to be held, I want to do it better," the emperor took a mouthful of salted duck into his mouth, "I have a good idea, the imperial dining room goes back and forth with those dishes, and it is not easy to change." At this family feast, I will put you in charge of the imperial dining room, and then allocate a few of your subordinates, and you will be responsible for teaching them for these three days. Since it's June 6, 16 meat dishes, 16 vegetarian dishes, and 6 soups are planned, okay? ”

"Good! The concubine must be done! The emperor gave Wang Qiao such a heavy task, she was so excited that she agreed to come down. I thought that even if there were eighty-eight dishes, even if there were eighty-eight dishes, how difficult would it be, so I happily agreed. It's just that the time is a little short, and I have to be tired, so I can only stay in the imperial dining room all day.

The emperor was satisfied, and specially sandwiched a few chopsticks dishes for her: "This is delicious, you eat more." The emperor served herself with vegetables, she was so honored and overjoyed, she frequently looked at Zheng Mengjing and Li Jinghan, and couldn't help but pass on such a mood to them. Although Zheng Mengjing was inevitably a little sour in his heart, when he saw her smiling with his eyebrows, he was really happy for Wang Qiao, and gave her a smile back. Li Jinghan only pretended not to see it, lowered his head and ate the bowl, not knowing the taste.

"Your Majesty, if you just eat by yourself, it will be boring. Not long after the concubine entered the palace, she asked curiously, what singing and dancing activities can be done during the family banquet? Zheng Mengjing asked.

"Ordinary family banquets have songs and dances, and the palace will hold them, but they are all those, unless it is Chinese New Year's Eve, and then Mid-Autumn Festival, it is very simple."

"The concubine thinks, since the emperor has let Sister Qiao take care of the imperial dining room, why don't we two prepare a show too," Dream took Li Jinghan's hand and said, "The sisters in the palace have prepared some talents and performed them together, first, it is also to congratulate the fetus in the womb of the queen, and second, it can enhance the feelings of the sisters, is this good?" Dream went on to say that she knew that the emperor would agree to any request at this moment, and besides, it was such a good thing. The emperor really nodded yes, for the concubines with many talents in the harem, there is a chance to show themselves, they will not refuse, and such an ingenious celebration, the queen will also be happy. The dream is a very good proposal.

Of course, the dream is not for these, Wang Qiao is favored, and he also has the right to manage the imperial dining room, the limelight is too strong, such a family banquet, wouldn't it push her to the forefront. The dream realm did this, of course, to give the concubine a chance, and also to prevent Wang Qiao from being so sharp. Of course, she had more important things to do.

After formulating such a thing, the emperor instructed Feng Bao to go to the palaces to inform him. Most of the concubines were very happy, only the distress in Xianfu Palace, and asked Feng Bao who came up with the idea. Feng Baoben didn't know either, he only said that it was the emperor. When Concubine Zhao heard that it was the emperor like this, she had nothing to do about it.

Wang Qiao went to the imperial dining room early the next morning, for this matter, she usually loves bright colors and dresses simply, just for the convenience of work. Although the emperor told her not to do everything herself, she decided that it was good to be able to stare more at everything.

Because of the proposal of the dream, Li Jinghan also started to practice the zheng, and was picking a tune. The dream accompanied her: "Sister, the song that Yuzhi said a few days ago is best for a family banquet performance." ”

That song is the song that Yuzhi wanted to find but couldn't find it, and the reason why she couldn't find it was very simple, it turned out that Concubine Yi didn't play a zither song. is the qin song "Yangchun", and Concubine Yi made up her own Zheng version with ingenuity, so Li Jinghan couldn't find this song even after searching for the Zheng score. One day, Zheng Mengjing hummed, Yuzhi listened attentively, and found that the rhythm was familiar, so she asked Li Jinghan to try to adapt it, Li Jinghan also knew the piano, and the change was very good.

"This "Yang Chun" is originally to sing about the growth of all things, thriving, congratulations to the queen on the fetus in the womb is no better, and most of the zhengqu songs are not elegant, this song plays out, it has a different meaning, and it is much more elegant." Zheng Mengjing explained to herself that of course she would not tell Li Jinghan the real reason.

"My sister is right, this "Yang Chun" is played with a zheng, which is less bleak than the qin, but has a lot of light and beautiful feelings, which is indeed suitable. My sister must practice this song well, just let people listen to it with a rippling heart, like a spring breeze. Li Jinghan was grateful in her heart, if it weren't for Zheng Mengjing, she wouldn't have this opportunity, "Sister also has to dance well with the song, we can't lose to others!" ”

The dream nodded in response, and was already thinking about the side in his heart.

Lan Ye listened outside the palace gate, her body was not well after kneeling that day, and her knees were still faintly painful, these pains always reminded her that she would take revenge if she found the opportunity, and now the opportunity has come.
