Chapter 16: The Autumn Festival (Part II)

After walking for a quarter of an hour, they stopped behind a palace, and several fathers-in-law greeted them and respectfully greeted the grandmother who walked in front, and the grandmother nodded, turned around and looked at them who were standing respectfully with their heads bowed and eyebrows, and said in a calm and cold voice:

"You'll be here tonight to help serve the drinks."

Li Qing took a few steps behind, stood behind, and saw her order Yang Yuzhu, Yu Xiuhe, Huang Ling'er and Wang Shufen from Ding Fang, who were standing in the front row, and said:

"The four of you will wait in the Hall of Eternal Peace."

ordered Gu Hongqin, Liu Xiuyu and Sun Zhenxiu in Bingfang:

"The three of you will wait at the Zhishuang Pavilion."

Finally, he pointed to Meng Shuipei, Gu Ruyan and Li Qingdao:

"You three, go to Qingfeng Ju to listen to the summons."

Li Qing hung her head and saw Meng Shuipei, who was standing in front of her, suddenly raised her foot slightly, and quickly stepped on the back of Yu Xiuhe's feet who were standing in front. Yu Xiuhe screamed for a while and swallowed urgently, and the grandmother asked majestically:

"What's wrong?"

Without waiting for Yu Xiuhe to speak, Meng Shuipei hurriedly replied:

"Back to my aunt, Sister Gu didn't stand firm and stepped on Sister Yu's skirt."

Gu Ruyan looked up at Meng Shuipei in amazement, looked at Mama hurriedly, and hurriedly explained:

"I didn't ......"

Meng Shuipei pulled her violently and interrupted her:

"Sister Gu, don't say it, you didn't mean it."

Gu Ruyan broke free of her hand, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was about to speak, but Mama's eyes flashed with mockery, and she scolded:

"Shut up! You, come and let me see. ”

Yu Xiuhe hurriedly took half a step forward, Mama looked down at a stain on her skirt, raised her hand and beckoned two miscellaneous eunuchs to come over, and ordered:

"Take this stupid slave down and tell Mama Wang that today is a good day, first lock up for one night, and tomorrow you will be beaten with twenty sticks and sent to the Huanyi Bureau to do miscellaneous labor."

Turning his head again, he said to Yu Xiuhe with a sneer:

"I can't even look at a skirt, and the master's things dare you to hold them?!"

Yu Xiuhe's eyes widened in horror, and before she could speak, the eunuch next to her had already pounced, sealed her mouth, and dragged it down.

The few people standing moved quietly, as far away as possible from the people around them. Mama stared at everyone with a sneer, and pointed to Meng Shuipei for a while:

"The three of you, who will go to the Yonghe Palace?"

Li Qing lowered her head and said nothing, Gu Ruyan was about to raise her head, Li Qing secretly pulled her, Meng Shuipei respectfully stepped forward and said:

"Back to my aunt, Sister Gu and Sister Li are still young and weak, I'll go."

The ridicule in the mother's eyes became even stronger, and she nodded "um", and turned back to the few justices standing next to her:

"Take them over, keep an eye on them, and don't get out of the basket."

Several fathers-in-law agreed, motioning for them to follow.

Gu Ruyan's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked up at Li Qing who was about to speak, but saw Li Qing staring at her coldly with sharp eyes and warnings, she was so frightened that she hurriedly swallowed her words back, and she didn't even dare to shed tears anymore.

Seeing that she was silent, Li Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gently pushed her, lowered his head and followed his father-in-law who led the way to the right.

After turning a few corners, they came to a quiet and elegant, exquisite house, and their father-in-law took them into the side hall, and two middle-aged fathers-in-law greeted them, and the bus that brought them in waited for them:

"These two are candidates for female officers, and they will learn to serve the drinks tonight with this place."

The two middle-aged fathers-in-law agreed, took them to a small cubicle at the back of the house, and commanded with a gentle face:

"We're here to spare, you two just rest here and wait for the summons."

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, for most of the day, he was so tired that his feet were about to break, so he hurriedly found a stool and sat down. Looking back at Gu Ruyan, who was standing there dejectedly, he sighed in his heart and beckoned her:

"Take a break, you just remember, what is yours is yours, not yours, it's useless to fight. Rest assured. ”

Gu Ruyan sat crookedly on the stool next to her, with a hint of unwillingness on her face, and she didn't speak, Li Qing ignored her anymore, and only closed her eyes and rested.

The grandmother in the dark cyan dress went to the depths of the palace courtyard, walked to a garden, and several big palace maids on the opposite side came to meet each other, giving each other half a step, and the grandmother smiled and greeted, but her eyes looked at the palace maid who walked at the end, and nodded almost invisibly.

The autumn feast of Yonghe Hall is lively.

The emperor and the queen sit high upright, in the wide hall, the autumn sunset and moon dance is dancing wonderfully, and the enchanting dancers in high-haired costumes are stretched with wide sleeves, dancing in the palace in spring.

At the end of the song, Jin Wenyuan, the envoy of Xidi, applauded vigorously, and Yang Yuanfeng, the envoy of Handi, sat opposite, squinting his eyes and looking at him with a slight smile. The eldest prince who was sitting in a row with Jin Wenyuan looked at Yang Yuanfeng coldly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and the palace maid kneeling behind him filled the cup with wine. The eldest prince raised his glass, pointed at Yang Yuanfeng and said:

"Lord Yang, have you ever seen such a dance in Korea?"

Yang Yuanfeng arched his hand and said:

"This kind of fairy-like dancing, Weichen is really unprecedented."

The eldest prince laughed and said:

"You rough puppet of Han Land, you also know that this is a fairy dance, but you are not blind!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and the palace maid behind him was busy and filled, Yang Yuanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and just wanted to speak, the four princes sitting next to him put the wine glasses on the table heavily, and looked at the eldest prince with a smile and said:

"The eldest brother always can't control himself, and he drinks too much!"

The eldest prince stared at the fourth prince fiercely, turned his head, squinted at the third prince sitting next to him and said:

"Fourth brother's mess, you should also teach him to change it, don't get into trouble!"

The third prince stroked the jade pendant on the belt of his clothes and replied with a smile:

"The fourth brother is right, the eldest brother has drunk too much again, you have to be more modest."

The eldest prince was furious, his forehead jumped, but when he turned around, he saw Yang Yuanfeng curling the corners of his mouth, raising his head slightly and staring at him, raising a glass to him from afar, taking a sip of wine, the eldest prince "snapped" and patted the previous cases, staggered up slightly, and walked towards Yang Yuanfeng.

The queen frowned slightly, turned her eyes to look at the emperor, and saw that the emperor's face remained unchanged, as if she had not heard it, she also frowned, and smiled dignified and peacefully.

The eldest prince rushed to Yang Yuanfeng, stretched out a finger and pointed at him:

"They all say that you are brave and brave, and that Lin Yunhai is strong, what kind of Yama is called! Bah! A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well who have never seen the world! If you can bully a few small shrimps and crabs, you don't know how thick the sky is? Yes? Master Ming'er will ask for a decree and step on your Pingyang Mansion! I'm going to meet that King of Yama! ”

Yang Yuanfeng stood up with his back straight, and replied with a slight smile:

"The eldest prince wants to meet our lord, but there is no need to wait for tomorrow, our lord is now outside Shangling Pass, I wish the emperor the autumn festival, our lord must be willing to meet the eldest prince, so as to come to this capital as soon as possible to have a long experience and open his eyes."

The eldest prince's face was pale, his fingers trembled slightly, and when he turned around, he wanted to find something and smashed it, the emperor's face sank, his brows furrowed, and the queen saw it and said with a smile:

"Zhang'er, you're drunk! Come on, help the prince to go down and sober up. ”

The eunuch waiting behind hurriedly agreed to step forward, and the second prince stood up, stepped forward to help the eldest prince and said:

"Brother Huang is drunk, I'll help you go and drink a bowl of sobering soup."

As he spoke, he dragged the eldest prince to the palace. The third prince also stood up and said to Yang Yuanfeng with a smile:

"My eldest brother has a rough and straight temperament, and he has a lot of wine, so Lord Yang should forgive me."

Yang Yuanfeng hurriedly returned the salute, and even said that he didn't dare:

"The third prince is going to torture Weichen to death, the eldest prince has a straightforward temper, and Weichen has always admired it very much."

The queen saw that the emperor was gloomy and unhappy, and suggested with a smile:

"Jue'er said that the arrangement of this year's fireworks bureau is very attentive, and the hour is almost over, let's go to Zhishuang Pavilion to watch the fireworks now, right?"

The emperor's face softened a little and nodded.

After the palace, the eldest prince shook off the hand of the second prince, Mama Zhao came over with two palace maids, and the second prince saw that it was the person waiting beside the imperial concubine, so he also let go, stopped and said:

"Wait well for the eldest prince."

Turned around and went out, Mama Zhao hurriedly signaled the two palace maids to step forward to help the eldest prince, the eldest prince pushed the two away, staggered to the couch in the corner of the hall and lay down, Mama Zhao hurriedly followed the two of them, put a few cushions behind him, let him lie comfortably, the eldest prince frowned, and said impatiently:

"Go, pour me a glass of water!"

Mama Zhao motioned for the two to wait, and hurriedly got up and went to the back to ask for decanting soup.

Huang Ling'er and Meng Shuipei were behind, busy with a group of sweaty palace maids, Mama Zhao came in and ordered to take the decanting soup immediately, the leading palace maid hurriedly took it, Mama Zhao looked around, pointed to Huang Ling'er and Meng Shuipei and said:

"You two come here!"

The two hurriedly stepped forward, Meng Shuipei rushed to serve the soup, Huang Ling'er hated the gargle, and followed Zhao Mama into the side hall, the eldest prince was half lying on the couch, and the palace maid standing next to him stepped forward to pick it up, Meng Shuipei and Huang Ling'er were rubbing beside and didn't want to go down, Zhao Mama scolded in a low voice:

"Don't hurry down yet!"
