Chapter 993: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet in the Palace
So, reputation is really troublesome.
Su Jin didn't care about it, but he had to think about it for Qin Lang and his son.
Qin Lang now has a bright future and is on the rise, and she keenly feels that Qin Lang seems to have a desire to fight, in this case, reputation is even more important, at least, she can't make people think that Qin Lang's wife is a ruthless and ungrateful person.
Aunt Cui loves to come, she knows in her heart, there are always people who stare at her well, and she is not afraid of what flowers she will turn out.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and early in the morning, Su Jin followed Princess Qian and Princess Tian into the palace to pay homage to the deceased queen and empress dowager.
Qin Lang and King Qian entered the palace earlier to worship the ancestors of Daqing.
I was dizzy and busy for most of the day, and it was already noon when I left the palace.
When I go back to the house to rest for a while, I have to put on makeup and change clothes, and I have a palace banquet to participate in in the evening.
The evening palace banquet was held in the Qinghe Hall not far from the Qianqing Palace.
In addition to the people in the three royal palaces, many clan relatives also participated in the emperor's holy decree.
They are all their own families, men and women are not at the same table but there is no pretense of partition, the dining table is set up on both sides of the hall, the top is the throne of Emperor Yuanfeng, the concubines who are qualified to attend are next to the throne according to their grades, and then the men and women are dependents.
The empty space in the middle is reserved for the singers and dancers to perform songs and dances.
The palace is decorated with splendid gold and magnificence, under the splendid curtain and on the luxurious carpet, there are countless fragrant potted flowers, and the delicate and colorful flowers set off the wealth of this heavenly family to a splendid style.
The arm-thick butter candles of the entire hall were lit countless times, reflecting the brightness of the entire hall. Agarwood crumbs and honey are added to the candles, and a faint sweet fragrance fills the air.
Xiao Zhen'er also followed Su Jin and Qin Lang, and at this time, let Wangchun sit at the table of a group of little emperors and grandchildren, right next to Su Jin and other female dependents, so that everyone could take care of it.
The little guy had never been in such an environment, and he was so excited, he saw everything fresh and rare, his beautiful black eyes turned around, and his little mouth was excited to talk. He also struggled to grasp various things from time to time, making Wangchun and Qin Jiu and Qin Shi who were with him anxious.
Except for two children at the same table, who were not yet one year old and could not walk around in their arms, the others were almost the same age as Xiao Zhen'er, and the eldest was only about four years old.
Originally, the children of other families were very regular, some were frightened and did not dare to move when they saw this occasion, and some were taught by extremely strict and harsh family rules since they were young, and they were repeatedly told and frightened by the elders of the family before coming, so they did not dare to move at all.
However, as soon as Xiao Zhen'er made a fuss, the children of other families couldn't sit still.
After all, they are all children, children are active by nature, and they also love to imitate and follow the trend, seeing how other children are, they also want to learn, one to drive one, and as a result, the table suddenly became lively, and the children were noisy and chattering like a group of sparrows getting together.
Not to mention that the nurses and the maids who followed were all crazy, and the mothers on the side were also anxious.
This is in front of the Imperial Palace, and it is Chinese New Year's Eve, and no one dares to move easily.
In the end, it was a princess of the clan who was more noble and dignified, and motioned to the nurses and maids to take the children to a corner of the hall to coax them.
It's understandable that the children can't sit still, even if they leave the table for a while, the emperor won't say anything, but if they want to stay here any longer, it would be a sin to quarrel with the emperor.
As if there was an amnesty, the nurses and maids hurriedly hugged their precious little masters and "hula", and all of them retreated to a corner of the main hall, comforting and coaxing their little masters softly.
Wangchun and Qin Jiu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, if you want to be able to toss, no one dares to say that you are the second!
No, I didn't want to stop at this time, everyone else was obediently held in the arms of the nurse and coaxed, but he couldn't stay in Wangchun's arms at all, and kept struggling to get off the ground, reaching out to grab the shiny gold Ruyi inlaid with red sapphires on the long case on the side.
Children like shiny things, and they want them when they see them, but who dares to give them the things in this hall?
Qin Jiu was helpless, so he had to go to accompany Xiao and ask an aunt in charge, get a yellow and clear bergamot fruit back, and coax the little master to play with it in his hand.
The shape of bergamot is unique, and the golden color is particularly eye-catching, so Xiao Zhen'er will not be entangled in Jin Ruyi if she has this.
In the eyes of children, there is only whether it looks good or not, whether it likes it or not, and there is nothing worthless.
Xiao Zhen'er struggled to get off the ground with "ahhh
Xiao Zhen'er sat on the carpet and rolled around with bergamot as a ball, and the other children also screamed to get off the ground.
Seeing this, the other nurses also put the child down.
A group of honorable little masters began to grab the yellow and clear bergamot, and they were about to make trouble again.
At this time, if anyone howled and cried, it would be terrible, and the frightened people hurriedly brought all kinds of fruits for them to play with. Don't rob it!
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the emphasis is on good luck and good luck, and this attention permeates all aspects, such as the imperial meal has "Five Blessings in the Gate", "Flowers Blossom and Wealth", "Sanyang Kaitai", songs and dances have "Taiping Song" and "Rui Xianghe", the clothes of the masters and palace maids and eunuchs are embroidered with auspicious and auspicious patterns, and the same is true on carpets, curtains, and curtains.
The potted flowers and bonsai are also peonies, magnolias, begonias, daffodils, kumquats, green bamboos, pines and so on.
Naturally, the melons and fruits prepared are also the same. Apples, citrons, jujubes, citrus, grapefruit, pomegranates, bergamot, etc., the little masters soon have one, bright color, huge size, now everyone is satisfied, holding the big fruit and playing happily, do not fight and don't want to cry.
All the nurses and maids breathed a sigh of relief: the little ancestors can be regarded as stopping!
No, the little ones are really energetic and energetic, and the nurses and maids are taking a breath, and the little ones staggered away without paying attention.
The culprit, of course, is Xiao Zhen'er, who is extraordinarily indulged by his father and mother like a wild monkey on weekdays.
The singers and dancers were dancing in colorful costumes, beautiful garlands and music in front of the emperor and all the distinguished royal family members, and Xiao Zhen'er swayed in with the big Buddha's hand at some point.
