Chapter 6: The Palace Banquet

A piece of dim sum is in the stomach, and there is a maid outside to embroider the girl.

Mu put down Shen Ai and ordered someone to come in, Shen Ai wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, tilted his head and asked, "Mother, do you want to make new clothes again?" ”

I only made three sets for each family last month, how many more sets will I make this month? Hey~ The life of a rich man.... It's so cool! Hahaha...

Mu Shi bent down and smiled and reached out to scrape the tip of his baby daughter's little nose, and said softly: "That's right, we are going to enter the palace at the beginning of next month, so we have to wear new clothes." ”

When the embroidered lady came in, Mu only asked her to measure Shen Ai's size, because the child's body is growing every day, so every time she makes clothes, she has to measure it every time, and the two of them are no longer long, and the size is the same as before, so there is no need to trouble again.

The embroidery girl measured the size and retreated, and Shen Ai asked out loud again: "Why do you want to enter the palace?" ”

"Because it's delicious." Mu's flickering

Hehe, lie to the child.

Shen Ai turned his head and asked his cheap father, Second Master Shen: "Daddy, why do you want to enter the palace?" ”

Second Master Shen wrinkled his eyebrows and thought for a while before saying, "Because my aunt wants to love her son." ”

Yes! In the original book, it was mentioned that the girl of the Shen family entered the palace as a concubine, as if she had been crowned a virtuous concubine, but she had no children and no daughters, and if you think about it carefully, the beginning of next month seems to be the annual flower festival, and the emperor will invite hundreds of officials and their families to enter the palace for the festival, and the heroine is in that night to make a sensation in the whole capital again with her self-choreographed flower picking dance, and it is also the first time that the male and female protagonists meet on that night.

My good man, it's finally going to be lively.

Finally arrived at the Flower Appreciation Festival, because the family was going to prepare for lunch in the palace and the family ate earlier than usual, Shen Ai changed into the new clothes that had just been sent two days ago, a gorgeous pink bandeau dress, the outer shirt was also the same color, wearing a white pearl inlaid with gold head, the pearls were pure and snow-white without flaws, the hairpin was very beautiful on the two small bags, and the forehead was also dotted with rouge by Mu's red dot, looking at the little fairy child under the Bodhisattva's seat, Shen Ai looked at the bronze mirror with joy, and her heart was secretly refreshing: she will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up in the future.

Dressed up beautifully, in a great mood, when he went out, Shen Aifeng asked himself if he was beautiful, and all he got was praise.

Shen Ai jumped up and down towards Shen Guogong, the boss of the Shen family, and shouted from afar: "Grandfather, grandfather, am I beautiful today?" Like a little fairy. ”

Shen Guogong's perennial face rarely smiled, happily hugged his little granddaughter, looked up and down seriously, nodded and said affirmatively: "Ai'er is the most beautiful, it must be a fairy descending to earth." ”

Several other people on the side looked at the pair of grandchildren with a smile, since the death of his mother, now only this little clever ghost can make Shen Guogong smile.

Uncle Shen Chong also smiled and raised his hand to touch her head, and said, "There are a lot of delicious foods in the palace, Ai'er, don't get your clothes dirty, so it's not like a little fairy." ”

"Uncle rest assured, Ai'er knows, Ai'er will pay attention, Ai'er will always be a little fairy."

The cheap lady Mu on the side couldn't look at it and tapped her forehead, and said, "Who is it like to be so narcissistic at a young age?" ”

"Like a mother, love a child like a mother." Shen Ai shook the pot without hesitation

Everyone laughed out loud, Mu's face was slightly red, and he was so angry that he poked her again, is there such a daughter who exposes his mother's bottom like this?

Shen Guogong was the first to smile and said, "It's not too early, let's go." ”

Everyone moved into the carriage.

There are not many people entering the palace during this time period, but the Shen family still waited for a full stick of incense before entering the gate, Shen Ai was carried into the carriage by Shen Guogong and rode with him, and after making a fuss in the carriage for a while, he was so tired that he fell asleep, and only woke up quietly when he got out of the carriage, and he was originally asleep in Shen Guogong's arms and now he has been transferred to Mu's arms.

Seeing that she woke up, Mousse put her on the ground, tidied up her clothes and headdress, and led her into the harem, Shen Guogong had already taken the men of the family to the front hall, and at this time only the eldest aunt and his mother.

Shen Ai rubbed his eyes, followed the Mu family and asked as he walked, "Mother, where are we going?" ”

"Go see your aunt."

Oh! It turned out that I was going to see Concubine Xian, but according to the rules, didn't I have to go to the queen to say goodbye first?

followed into the Juxian Hall where Concubine Xian lived, and there was already a female official waiting at the door, and when she saw that the three of them asked for peace, they led them into the main hall.

Concubine Xian was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, and when she saw the three of them coming in, she hurriedly put down the teacup and ordered the palace maid to serve refreshments.

After the three of them invited An, Concubine Xian ordered the palace maid to retreat, leaving only two trusted female officials, and after Concubine Xian had a cold talk with the two sisters-in-law, she beckoned to Shen Ai: "Come to my aunt." ”

Shen Ai obediently stepped forward to sit next to Concubine Xian, looking at this woman who was only in her twenties with a delicate appearance and gorgeous clothes, her eyebrows and eyes were already full of vicissitudes, and she really responded to the sentence: The women in the palace are all the best in the world, but they are aging too fast.

In modern times, women in their twenties are still the same age, but in this deep palace, they already feel that they are about to grow old.

There is a brief mention in the book that Concubine Xian can't give birth for a reason, she was pregnant with one before, but she was framed for a miscarriage, which broke her body and led to lifelong infertility.

Shen Ai raised a cute smile at her, and played treasure in front of Concubine Xian to make her cover her mouth with a handkerchief and laugh, occupying other people's bodies, then her family is her own family, her aunt lives so hard, all she can do is to make her happy when she enters the palace.

After making trouble for a while, everyone took a breath and their faces softened, and the eldest aunt Zhang wiped the laughing tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and asked Concubine Xian: "What's wrong with the queen?" In the past, women had to go to the palace to ask for peace, why did they enter the palace today and listen to the little father-in-law say that they didn't need to go? ”

Concubine Xian smiled coldly and said, "What else, because of the prince's marriage." ”

Seeing that the two sisters-in-law were looking at her suspiciously, Concubine Xian explained: "The queen has taken a fancy to Li Shangshu's eldest daughter, but the emperor disagrees and is losing her temper." ”

Zhang and Mu hurriedly covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, and they couldn't help laughing, the queen is a model of women in the world, and such a petty character really makes people laugh off their big teeth.

Concubine Xian laughed sarcastically and said, "I don't know if I will go to the banquet for a while." ”

Mu Shi eased the smile on his face, and said loudly: "I'm afraid that I have to go, I can't marry the prince and the queen is not there, that would be too embarrassing." ”

Zhang also nodded and said, "Which girl is it?" ”

"Tobe." Concubine Xian winked at the two of them

The Zhang family and the Mu family looked at each other and looked at Concubine Xian in unison, and said, "It's not the one we thought, right?" ”

Concubine Xian blinked affirmatively at the two of them and nodded slightly, and Zhang was so shocked that she covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "How could the emperor take a fancy to her?" ”

Concubine Xian said indifferently: "Who knows? ”
