Section 18 Night Banquet (2)

After returning to the Mingxia Palace, he immediately called Mr. Zhang, and asked him to find a few older fathers-in-law.

In fact, if you think about it, in a strict sense, today's emperor is the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and today's crown prince is also the first prince after the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. And the East Palace Night Banquet that this Crown Princess is preparing is also the first East Palace Night Banquet after the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. How to hold it, what procedures there are, what etiquette there are, no one knows what to do.

It turns out that this princess is still doing pioneering work! Alas, it is not easy to be the founding crown princess, it is really a long way to go.

As soon as those people were sent away, my savage girl and self-styled think tank Xiaocui began to make a high-level statement: "There are no rules in this dynasty, but there are in the previous dynasty, just check it out." Also, aren't the crown prince's banquet guests similar to the emperor's banquet guests? Copy the banquet program on the emperor's side, I'm sorry, it's just a gourd to draw a copy of it, isn't it? ”

I said, "Girl, the first half of what you said does make sense, but the second half is wrong, it belongs to the layman's words that only people with neither culture nor common sense can say." "How can the crown prince's banquet be the same as the emperor's banquet? All dynasties and dynasties have been very sensitive to this point, and if they don't do it well, they will be suspected of trespassing.

The girl looked at me angrily: "If you don't convince me today, I will ......"

"How are you doing?"

"Hey, hey, hey", he laughed twice, and then said with a hideous face: "Take the precious calligraphy and painting you secretly hid to His Royal Highness the Prince, and then you will wait to be drowned in vinegar." ”

My eyes darkened, and my chest ached again.

Xiaocui also realized that she was joking a little too big this time, and said embarrassedly: "Miss, look at my stinky mouth, which pot is not opened." I just talked about it, and I didn't take into account Miss's ability to bear it, Miss, I'm sorry. ”

Seeing that I didn't say anything, I said with a long sigh: "Shouldn't you call Miss anymore?" Then, please forgive Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess for the disrespectful mistakes of the slaves and maids. ”

I smiled faintly at her: "It's better to call Miss, it makes me feel kind." Okay, don't be poor, let's talk about the banquet, you don't know, I just listened to them, and my heart became more and more anxious. ”

"Miss, there's nothing to rush about, up and down here, even the people who run the hall with a fire, add up to one or two hundred, are you still afraid that no one will help you do things? You just need to sort out the program first, open a list, and hand it to Manager Zhang. ”

"Xiaocui, we don't open a restaurant, we are here in the East Palace." I sighed and said, "And what can you do?" ”

"Yes, yes, Donggong. Miss, look, aren't there just a few over there? And they are not running halls, they are all people who can really help Miss do things. ”

When I looked up, I saw that it was Zhang, Zuo, and Wang.

They were all excited, and as soon as they entered, they chatted about the banquet.

I can understand their feelings. Since entering the palace, these three belovers have completely become "cool people", or say, unemployed idlers, worse than unemployed vagrants. The unemployed can at least swim for a while, they can only be locked in the house every day and count their fingers in a daze, bored to death. Now that I heard that there is going to be a banquet in the East Palace, how can I not be excited to watch singing and dancing while drinking fine wine, especially when I can see so many outsiders?

Cui has a point, these are indeed people who can help me with things, and I guess they are all very happy.

When I asked, I was really happy. Not only is he happy, but he is extremely enthusiastic and impatient, for fear of being pulled down by me, and then he will be regarded as a waste by me and the entire East Palace from now on.

So the tasks are assigned as follows:

Zuo Ying Zuo Liangren: Responsible for the etiquette of the banquet. What you need to do is to look up the classics, copy what you can't, and revise what you can't. At the same time, it was suggested that she consult her aunt Zuo Guifei, who had participated in many emperors' banquets and should be very experienced.

Zhang Lingwan Zhang Liangren: Responsible for the food and wine supply of the banquet, and report the menu three days before the banquet. It was suggested that she consult her aunt Hu Guifei more.

Wang Suxin Wang Liangren: Responsible for the singing and dancing of the banquet and other entertainment programs, and also submitted the program list three days ago. She was also advised to consult her aunt, Mrs. Zhuge . It is said that Mrs. Zhuge can sing and dance, and it is precisely because of this that she has won the favor of the emperor.

In the end, of course, the crown princess is the commander-in-chief, and the prime minister is responsible for all affairs and the coordination of all parties.

After the three of them left, the prince also returned from the study.

After coming back, I didn't wash my hands, and I didn't change my clothes, and the eunuchs and palace maids stood in a circle around us with basins, teacups, clothes, towels, and spittoons, etc., and he just wrapped around me like a vine wrapped around a tree, and his body twisted and twisted: "Nanfeng, it's so annoying to read, I can't wait to tear up those broken books, smash the broken inkstone, so that I can come back and play with you." ”

"Your Highness, those books are the books of the sages, not broken books; Your inkstones are even more rare, not broken inkstones. ”

"But, it's really annoying, who invented writing? Who invented papermaking? I'm going to order them to be sent to prison. ”

"It was the ancient Cangjie who invented writing, and Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty who invented papermaking, and they have been braiding for a long time."

"Fortunately, they are still interesting, and they are already dead."

Patience, patience, I still have to tell him about business: "Your Highness, the concubine has already discussed with the queen mother, and is preparing to entertain His Royal Highness's young master and all the officials under the prince's east palace in the East Palace in a few days, what does Your Highness think about this?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence came out, he immediately bounced off me, and then frowned and asked, "You mean, you are going to invite a lot of people here?" ”

"Hmm."

"Don't, I don't agree!" He actually shouted: "It's annoying enough to see those people, you still have to invite them back!" ”

"But none of them are outsiders, they are all directly subordinate to the prince's subordinates, and the concubine just wants to invite His Royal Highness's subordinates to get together and eat." By the way, look at who those are.

He thought for a moment, and finally said something that made me completely powerless: "Please eat, please eat." When they came that day, the two of us hid out and asked Mr. Zhang to entertain them, and the two of us ...... Is it okay to go to your house? He whispered in my ear and said, "Tell your father to invite those cricket masters first, I haven't played for a long time, and I want to die." ”

I slumped in my chair and asked the heavens speechlessly.
