Chapter Seventy-Two: Going to the Palace Banquet with My Mother

……

Emperor Kangguo was born in Rongma, brave and aggressive, which can be seen from the founding year of the founding of the country as Chongwu. On weekdays, it is not uncommon to invite the ministers to talk about wine at three or five o'clock, and it is not uncommon for them to occasionally come up and pull the generals to compare.

On the contrary, the queen was born to be quiet, but every time the emperor set up a banquet for the ministers, the family members were not allowed to enter the banquet and had to set up a banquet in the harem, so every time the woman entered the palace, it must be Emperor Kang who set up a banquet again.

But there are strange things every year, and this year there are a lot of them.

I didn't hear that Kandi set up a banquet, but the queen took the initiative to invite the wife, and all the family members above the fourth grade were invited.

For a while, the circle of high-ranking officials and elites was like a pool of still water suddenly thrown into a pebble, and it boiled in an instant. The invited women were overjoyed, and those who were not qualified to participate in the banquet cut their heads and desperately inquired about what this palace banquet was.

Before dawn in the morning, Zuo Di was woken up by Mama Wang. Sleepy-eyed and let Qiu Ju and the others toss, just the clothes were three layers inside and three layers outside, not to mention the heavy head plus grease and powder.

Fortunately, it is autumn now, otherwise this outfit will be melted into a big flower face by sweat in a short time when walking under the sun.

Qiu Ju and the others ignored Zuo Di's resistance, and only tried their best to dress up their master as a heavenly immortal.

Since the master was six years old, it was the first time he participated in the palace banquet, and he never showed up on weekdays, whether it was the spring banquet or the autumn banquet or the private banquet of others. Today, when she enters the palace, she must be allowed to make a good appearance, so that the whole Changping knows that in addition to the eldest daughter of the Zuo family, there is also a second daughter who is captivating the country and the city.

It took an hour to dress up, and when Zuo Di was on the verge of collapse, it was done.

Qiu Ju looked at the new master, and couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that the second lady, who had been in the water all day long, had become such a moving appearance. As long as you don't move and don't speak, you really respond to the sentence "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent." ”

Zuo Di's heart was furious when he was looked at by Qiu Ju, and he couldn't help but shudder.

She just wanted to complain, Qiu Ju decisively glanced at the knife and said: "Master, don't talk today, if you have something to do, the slave will come back for you, and the fairies can't compare to you when you don't speak." ”

Zuo Di said stupidly: "Erbao stay, and Mama Qiuju will follow me into the palace." ”

Bao Ya immediately looked disappointed when she heard this, and Bao Zhitou kept her head down and couldn't see the expression on her face.

Zuo Di's scalp was numb from Baoya's aggrieved eyes, and Qiu Ju also helped to bring it all, and there were many people who could take care of it. She thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she changed her tone and said that she would enter the palace together.

Bao Ya almost jumped up happily, but Bao Zhi was still silent.

Zuo Di didn't care, at this time the Yang family packed up to find her daughter, she looked around and found that she didn't see the eldest sister, and was told by the Yang family that she was not good to go out during the marriage period, and only her mother and daughter entered the palace.

After getting into the carriage, Zuo Di asked Yang with concern if he was better. Yang is still tired but has a lot more energy than the day before yesterday, and he only carries a medicine bag, so he can deal with it if something really goes wrong. Zuo Di was relieved.

When she arrived at the outer city wall, she lifted the curtain and helped Yang get out of the car together. When I walked down and looked at it, I was immediately dumbfounded, and I saw the carved fence and jade brickwork, and the BMW incense car.

The wives and ladies of the family are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, waiting outside the palace walls, and occasionally a few with hats should be the daughters of conservative families.

For a while, the air was filled with the greasy smell of fat powder, Zuo Di just sighed that the scene was grand, but Yang's face was whiter because of this choking smell.

Zuo Di was waiting to go with the palace card, and suddenly a palace maid came to her and saluted: "The slave maid is a person from Fenghuan Pavilion, and she was ordered by the princess to take Mrs. Zuo and Miss Zuo to enter the palace first." ”

Ah, that's the benefit of the privileged class, right?

Sympathetically looking at the families of the women who were still waiting to enter the palace in turn under the sun, Zuo Di thanked his father for his identity and Xiao Zhen's righteousness for the first time.

She and the Yang family followed the maid into the palace from the side door, ignoring the jealous eyes and knives next to her.

"Who, that's? Why don't they have to wait here? ”

"You don't even recognize Mrs. Zuo's wife? ……”

"Could it be that the young lady next to Mrs. Zuo is the mysterious second daughter of the Zuo family? The one that never showed up? ”

"I heard that I have a good relationship with Princess Shining, no wonder I can enter the palace first......"

"Look at the appearance of this water spirit, it is even better than the eldest daughter, no wonder it is always hidden."

"Heh, what about the water spirit? I can't give birth to a son, is it possible to recruit a son-in-law from a scholar? Hahaha......"

…… Zuo Di turned a deaf ear to these gossips, and Yang's face was even more light.

The palace maid who led the way admired it, this is the bearing of Mrs. Yipin in the current dynasty, and the second lady on the left can be treated differently by the princess, and it really has its advantages.

It was another difficult long journey, and even Zuo Di, whose physical strength was beyond ordinary people, secretly couldn't bear it, on the other hand, the Yang family, who was unwell, was accustomed to it, and he was used to entering the palace often.

Except for Qiu Ju, who was a little panting, the two treasures were actually more active than the other.

Needless to say, Bao Ya has always been lively, and the excitement on her face can't be stopped. is always very "temperamental" and more stable Baozhi, can't restrain looking left and right, and his eyes are eager.

The palace banquet is located in the main hall of the Changle Hall where the queen lives, which shows that the queen attaches great importance to this palace banquet.

The palace maid brought Zuo Di and his party directly into the seat, and Zuo Di found that Xiao Zhen had already taken a seat on the left side, and on the right was a gorgeous girl of her age.

Zuo Di thought for a long time and didn't recognize it, but Qiu Ju whispered: "Princess Yonghua." ”。

Zuo Di suddenly realized, it turned out that this was Xiao Yuehua, the princess of Yonghua who made Xiao Zhen extremely disgusted.

recalled that I once chatted with Xiao Zhen and said that Xiao Yuehua was only half a year younger than Xiao Zhen, and it was Han Zhaorong. Han Zhaorong died in childbirth after giving birth to her, and was raised by Emperor Kang under the queen's knees. He was well-behaved and docile in front of Kangdi and Empress Kang, but in fact, he was violent and killed the palace people at every turn.

Zuo Didi's heart moved. I've never paid attention to the rights and wrongs of the harem before, isn't it a little inappropriate?

This Xiao Yuehua's mother's surname is Han, could it be Han Yongchang's Han?

Thinking of this, Zuo Di sighed, who said that crossing women are omnipotent? I got a god mansion to open a plug-in, but I can't anticipate the enemy's opportunity to do everything safely.

If Xiao Yuehua's biological mother is really Han Yongchang's Han, I am afraid that today's events will add another variable.

She looked at Xiao Zhen with some concern.

Xiao Zhen is also dressed in gorgeous clothes today, coupled with the elongated phoenix tree, her expression is indifferent and solemn, looking at the momentum of the eldest princess of the dynasty, she is like two people on weekdays.

Noticing Zuo Di's gaze, the solemnity on Xiao Zhen's face quickly changed to naughty, and he squeezed his eyes at Zuo Di's chest, and he had a posture that everything is mine.

Zuo Di felt a numb back when she received the signal, and she didn't know if she would be busy if she would put a copy on her.

She only paid attention to Xiao Zhen but didn't pay attention to it, Xiao Yuehua on the right side of the head also cast her eyes on her, her expression flickered brightly and darkly, and her eyes were cold.

Yang is a lady of Yipin, so she naturally sits very forward. Zuo Di was not six years old when he could sit next to his mother, and according to the rules, he had to have one person, and he could only be more than one meter apart.

The wives and their families sat down one after another. Zuo Di also saw Pan Congyun of Pan Mansion and Si You, the eldest sister's best friend.

She didn't have much friendship with Pan Congyun, so she just nodded. But Si You looked at her and smiled, which was a hello.

Pity all but these two, she doesn't know any of the rest.

Qiu Ju knelt beside her, and Erbao stood on either side. When everyone is seated, there will be palace maids serving dishes like flowing water, most of which are some sweet snacks and tea.

Zuo Di said secretly, probably this is a pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres? She and Yang had no appetite, so they only took two bites and sat down with chopsticks.

After about half an hour, I saw the first two princesses get up, and at the same time a eunuch sang:

"The Queen Mother has arrivedβ€”"
