Chapter 93: Birthday Banquet (1) (Asking for Pink Tickets)

I wish you all a happy Spring Festival! In the new year. can be like a man, waving a small leather whip and whipping all the villains around him!

On this day, Jiang Ruonan decided to go into the palace to have a look. Relationships have to be maintained for a long time without interruption, and it's not a way to hide like this all the time.

However, Jiang Ruonan did not go as early as usual, had breakfast at home, and talked with Mrs. Tai, estimating that the emperor should have asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye before leaving for the palace.

When I went to Cining Palace, I saw the Queen Mother and Aunt Ye walking back from the direction of the Imperial 'Flower' Garden, and when I saw Jiang Ruonan, I asked with a smile: "Is your body all right?" ”

Jiang Ruonan walked over, held the arm of the Queen Mother, and replied with a smile: "It's just a little 'hair', it's good to rest for two days." ”

Aunt Ye smiled in the back: "Miss Ruolan, you haven't entered the palace for so long, and the Queen Mother has been talking about you." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and glanced back at Aunt Ye: "Now the mourning family is used to Ruolan's company!" and Ruolan's story about the monkey, I haven't heard it for a long time, and my heart is itching. ”

Jiang Ruonan made a sad look: "It turns out that the Queen Mother doesn't miss Ruolan, but just wants to listen to Ruolan tell stories!" As he spoke, he sighed, which made the Queen Mother laugh, and turned to Aunt Ye and said, "Look at this child, it's getting more and more unruly!" ”

Jiang Ruonan took her arm and shook it. smiled: "Because the Queen Mother loves Ruolan, Ruolan dares to be so presumptuous." As he spoke, he leaned over again, snuggled up to the Queen Mother's side, and said softly: "Queen Mother, Ruolan misses the Queen Mother very much." ”

This is the truth, in the body of the Queen Mother, Jiang Ruonan felt a kind of warmth, which she had never experienced before, which made her feel very warm and she cherished it very much. If she was deliberately flattering and deliberately approaching before, then now, she wants to get close to the Queen Mother from the bottom of her heart.

The Queen Mother turned her head to look at her and smiled slightly, wrinkles appeared at the corners of her mouth and eyes, but she could feel her joy.

"This kid ......" The Queen Mother held Jiang Ruonan's hand. The warm heat in her hand was conveyed to the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Ruonan smiled at the Queen Mother and helped her into the inner hall.

After entering the hall, as usual, Jiang Ruonan asked people to bring salt water to burn the feet of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Can scalding your feet with salt water like this really cure thirst?" ”

"If you stick to it for three months, it will definitely work." As she spoke, Jiang Ruonan sat down on the small pestle at her feet, padded a clean cloth towel on her 'legs', and then picked up the queen mother's feet and put them on her 'legs'.

The Queen Mother said: "What is this going to do?" ”

"This is called foot massage, which can promote qi and blood, which is very beneficial to the body! The Queen Mother's body has not recovered before, Ruolan didn't dare to do it for the Queen Mother, but now the Queen Mother's health is much better. You can do it with confidence! Jiang Ruonan gently massaged the soles of the Queen Mother's feet with her hands.

In this world, foot washing and pedicures are very lowly jobs, and they are generally done by subordinates. When the Queen Mother saw her 'touching' her feet, she hurriedly retracted her feet, "Ruolan just let the slave do these things!" ”

Aunt Ye next to her saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to take over the matter in Ruonan's hands. Ruonan stopped Aunt Ye with a smile, then carefully pulled back the Queen Mother's feet, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, this foot massage is not an ordinary foot wash, there are many tricks in it, they don't know." After saying that, he lowered his head and started massage.

When the Queen Mother saw that Jiang Ruonan, as Mrs. Hou, massaged her feet without scruples in front of so many people, she was really moved in her heart, and felt that her protection and love all the time were worth it.

"Queen Mother, is the strength okay?" Jiang Ruonan raised his head from time to time and asked.

"Yes, 'quite' good." She looked at Ruonan who was engrossed in the bottom and said from the bottom of her heart: "Ruolan, if only you were my 'daughter'!" "Although I also loved Ruolan before, I never hoped that she would be my biological 'daughter' like today.

"Queen Mother......" Jiang Ruonan didn't look up, his voice was soft, but very clear. Ruonan has no impression of his mother at all, but ......" she raised her head to look at the Queen Mother, and there were faint tears flashing in her eyes, "In Ruonan's mind, her mother should be like the Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother nodded, wanting to laugh, but her eyes and nose were a little sour. She turned her head away and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Coming out of Cining Palace, Jiang Ruonan went to Kunning Palace again, and the queen was very happy to see her, and pulled her to talk about the birthday banquet in two days.

Now that the queen is favored again, her spirit is flying, and her eyebrows are dancing when she speaks: "This birthday banquet will be held for three consecutive days. ”

Jiang Ruonan hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the queen, this is a great honor." ”

"But it's not," the queen reclined on the 'bed' couch, her slimmed down body was exquisite, full of style, her eyebrows 'hair' was frivolous, and there was a kind of pride that couldn't be concealed in her expression, "It's finally the sharpness that can kill someone!" ”

This person naturally refers to Xu Guifei, but this time, Jiang Ruonan lowered his head and did not have an interface.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the queen didn't continue the topic, and took her hand with a smile, "On the day of the birthday banquet, the palace will give you a big gift!" ”

Gift? Jiang Ruonan's heart skipped a slight beat, I don't know what it is?

Before this day came, Jiang Ruonan was already looking forward to it.

***

The first day is the most important of the three days of the Queen's Birthday Banquet, when the Emperor and Empress receive congratulatory gifts from the princes and ministers and envoys from all over the world. Then set up a banquet in Fengtian Palace, and Jiang Ruonan had nothing to do on this day. But Jin Shaokang must attend and offer a congratulatory gift. The congratulatory gift prepared by Mrs. Tai is a pot

The next day, it is also a feast held in the Fengtian Palace, attended by the queen emperor, concubines, princesses, princes, as well as princes and ministers in the capital and their families, there will be a stage and fireworks in the evening, which is the highlight of the birthday banquet, Jiang Ruonan, Jin Shaokang and Jin Yanran will attend.

On the third day, there was a family banquet between the queen and the concubine, the princess, the life 'wife', and the noble 'daughter'. Jin Shaokang didn't have anything to do on this day.

Although Jiang Ruonan didn't go on the first day, he could also feel the excitement in the palace, because early in the morning, there were many carriages and horses rushing to the direction of the palace, and the sound of the carriage came again and again, which showed how many people rushed to the palace. Even Mrs. Tai was saying to Jiang Ruonan in private: "What a big scene, it seems that the queen is really favored again!" "Handed over" her again, "Tomorrow, almost all the people with face in the imperial city will enter the palace." Have you memorized all the rules? Don't embarrass Lord Hou! ”

Jiang Ruonan smiled: "Mother, don't worry, Ruonan will definitely give you a long face back!" Jin Yanran also said with a smile on the side: "Mother, there is still me, I will mention my sister-in-law!" ”

Mrs. Tai nodded her forehead, "I'm more 'worried' about you!" If you lose the face of the Hou Mansion, I will send you to another courtyard when you come back! ”

Jin Yanran was anxious, and pulled Mrs. Tai's arm coquettishly: "Mother, look at what you said, the 'girl' will definitely not lose the face of the Hou Mansion!" ”

Mrs. Tai smiled, "I hope so!" ”

Early the next morning, it was still dawn. Jiang Ruonan got up and began to dress up. It's an unusual day, so it's natural to dress up and attend.

Two sets of clothes must be prepared today, and you must wear court clothes for the luncheon at noon, and you can change into regular clothes in the evening.

After dressing up, Jiang Ruonan took Hongxing and Forsythia out to meet Jin Shaokang's brothers and sisters.

When he went out, Jin Shaokang was already waiting by the carriage, dressed in a sword-sleeved python robe, collar and cuffs, and the belt was inlaid with pearls, which shone brightly in the morning light, and he was heroic and extravagant!

His expression was a little impatient, and he immediately frowned when he saw Jiang Ruonan, and wanted to reprimand a few words, but after seeing Jiang Ruonan clearly, the expression on his face stiffened for a while, and then slowly eased up, and he just said softly: "It's so late? It's not too early! ”

Jiang Ruonan spread his hands helplessly, motioning him to look at himself, "Master Hou, look at how many lines, I got up before dawn, but I still 'get' it so late, you can't blame me!" ”

Jin Shaokang looked her up and down, and saw that she was wearing a court dress with a black 'color' as the base, but embroidered with colorful silk threads with extremely gorgeous 'flower' and bird patterns. There is a string of big Dongzhu necklaces hanging around the neck, all round and white, combing the phoenix cloud bun, "inserting" the gilt point of the emerald gold step, while also "inserting" the jade jade "jade" hairpin, the Dongzhu pendant hanging down the hairpin exudes a white light, and the Dongzhu necklace on her neck "intersect" each other, reflecting her face snow-white and lovely.

I've never seen her dress up so formally, it turns out that when she dresses up, it's even ...... Beauty.

"Let's get in the car first. It's time to enter the palace quickly. He held out his hand to her.

Jiang Ruonan put his hand on his, Jin Shaokang held her hand, only to feel that her hand was abnormally soft, as if it was boneless, and his heart couldn't help but 'swing', this hand grabbed the whip so fiercely, but it turned out that it was so delicate on weekdays.

With a little effort, he sent her to the car, Jiang Ruonan turned around, and saw that he was still looking at him in a daze, so he said, "Master Hou, it's not too early, you haven't come up yet?" ”

Jin Shaokang looked at her and smiled, and got into the car with a long 'leg'.

Just like her, I used to think that she was rude and willful, unreasonable, but who would have thought that she would also have a gentle and lovely side?

In the car, Jin Yanran, who was dressed up, was dressed up, and Jin Yanran, who was already born 'fine', was even more delicate and charming when she was dressed like this.

She was very excited, and as soon as she saw Jiang Ruonan, she beckoned her to sit down next to her, while Jin Shaokang sat down opposite them.

Jin Yanran looked at her left and right, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law dressed up like this, ......" As she spoke, she turned her head to Jin Shaokang and said, "Brother, do you say that sister-in-law is not beautiful today?" ”

Jin Shaokang looked at Jiang Ruonan, smiled slightly, and the dimple on his left cheek loomed: "It's still 'very' beautiful today." ”

Jiang Ruonan turned his head and couldn't help laughing, saying that this was the first time he had been praised for his beauty in so many years.

It's just, what is "still" today...... This monkey can make people feel bad even if they praise someone!

The car arrived at the palace in a short time.

The palace 'gate' was full of cars, all kinds, large and small, the ministers and nobles got off the car in turn, and walked into the palace under the leadership of the eunuch palace 'woman'.

The princes and ministers got out of the car and greeted each other with smiles on their faces. And Jin Shaokang, a celebrity in front of the emperor, is naturally the focus of the princes and ministers.

Time. Jiang Ruonan only felt that his ears were filled with all kinds of voices, all of which were the same

"Marquis An Yuan, polite."

"Lord Jin, be polite."

looked at Jin Shaokang again, but saw that he had a gentle smile on his face, and calmly returned the salute with everyone, without letting anyone feel left out. For a moment, he seemed to be at the center of the light.

is so calm, the gentle Jin Shaokang is something Jiang Ruonan has never seen. She couldn't help but look at him with some curiosity.

Suddenly, he looked back at her and raised an eyebrow: "What do you keep watching me do?" ”

Jiang Ruonan's face was slightly hot, but he refused to suffer at all in his mouth, "I'm just curious, you're obviously smiling, why didn't you see the wine vortex?" ”

At the mention of the word wine vortex, Jin Shaokang turned his face: "Nonsense!" But when he turned his face, he couldn't help but smile again, and with this smile, the dimples on his cheeks 'rippled' out again, and a noble woman next to him couldn't help but blush when she saw it.
