Chapter 21: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet (1)
Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Guerjia took out a plate of snacks from the dark grid, "Ning'er, use some quickly, you will enter the palace in a while, and you may not be able to eat at the palace banquet." ”
I heard that at the state banquet, Kangxi didn't eat much, no wonder Eniang said this, the boss doesn't eat, how can the younger brothers eat, those exquisite dishes are probably full of noodles. In this way, Shu Ning didn't talk nonsense, just took a snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
The state banquet was held at noon, and after a while in the Forbidden City, I could sneak a look at the scenery, and I had not visited the Forbidden City in my previous life, which was a pity, and I had to take a good look today. I was thinking about taking a good look at it, when I heard E-Niang reading the rules to her, "When you enter the palace for a while, don't look at it at will, the heavenly family pays the most attention to the rules." If you want to go to the toilet or something, tell E-Niang, and E-Niang will lead you. Mrs. Guerjia saw that Shuning choked, and hurriedly poured a glass of water, but Shuning asked for it again, but she didn't give it, "Drink less, drink too much and have to go to the toilet for a while." ”
"Ahem, Eniang, is this a banquet? This is a sin, and no water will be allowed to drink. Shu Ning, who had coughed hard, regretted it, "Eniang, can you not go, you can just be with Amma." ”
"That's not good, everyone goes together as a family, and our family is just Eniang and Amma, how to say the past. Patience, good daughter, patience is over. ”
As soon as he heard that there was no drama, Shu Ning also wilted, "Okay then." Eat less and drink less. ”
The carriage creaked and moved very slowly, and too many ministers and princes were going to enter the Forbidden City. After a long time, it was the turn of the Shu Ning family, and they followed the maid who led the way, and slowly walked to the Baohe Palace.
I really couldn't hold back, Shu Ning covered it with the hat of the cloak and quietly looked at the Taihe Palace. This Taihe Hall really deserves to be the largest of the three palaces in the outer court, the interior is also very luxurious atmosphere, 72 big pillars support the Taihe Palace, the gold bricks pave the ground, the Ming room sets up the Sumeru throne, the throne is set up on both sides of the dragon golden pillar, the throne is also equipped with the treasure elephant, Lurui, the crane, the incense pavilion in front of the throne. Sure enough, it is royal, graceful and luxurious, and splendid.
The main seat of the main hall is Emperor Kangxi's, on the left is the county king and minister, and on the right is the harem concubine's own county king and courtiers' families. Therefore, the seats of Madame Gualga and Shuning are considered to be at the back, but it is also good that they will not be noticed.
The ministers and county kings arrived one after another, waiting for Kangxi, the queen mother of the two palaces and the concubines of the harem to enter the table. At noon, Kangxi came with the queen mother of the two palaces and the concubines of the harem, and everyone in the palace stood up busily.
"The emperor has arrived~"
"The Empress Dowager has arrived~"
"The Queen Mother has arrived~"
"The prince has arrived~"
……
The eunuch who sang the newspaper sang the newspaper for a while, and after Kangxi stood on the throne of Sumeru, everyone in the hall saluted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live~"
"The Empress Dowager Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ~"
"The Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ~"
"Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ~"
The hall was solemn for a few seconds, and Kangxi said: "Flat"
"Emperor Xie Longen~"
After the salute, everyone sat in their seats, and what happened in the past few minutes really shocked Shu Ning, this is the dynasty. When everyone in the hall shouted "Long live", the voice hit people's hearts, no matter who they were, what kind of thoughts they had, at this moment, only respect and awe remained. Shu Ning sat in her seat and didn't dare to move, she was so active and naughty in the past, but at this moment she was all restrained, and she just wanted to try her best to integrate herself into it and not attract the attention of others.
On the Sumeru seat, Kangxi was "making a speech", telling about the hard work of the year, the expectations and wishes for the coming year, and after Kangxi finished speaking, he ordered the slaves and maids to serve wine and food, and ordered the maiko to perform the Qinglong dance. The Taihe Hall is staggered, and this state banquet can be regarded as officially begins.
