The next day, as in previous years, after the dawn, the concubines and the princes and grandchildren paid New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ordered everyone to go back to the palace to rest after some New Year's money, waiting for the afternoon banquet.
And she continued to sit in Ci'an Palace, waiting for the queen to come over and accept the worship of the wives with the queen.
stayed up all night without sleep, Rao is Su Jinli and others were in the prime of their youth, and they were really sleepy.
No, just after leaving Ci'an Palace, Baili Shihan yawned uncontrollably, causing Su Jinli and the others to laugh.
"Alas! I really envy them! Because we are still young, we don't have to suffer such torture with us! Baili Shihan sighed.
When it was louder last night, the queen mother ordered the nurses to take a few little emperors and grandsons and little county lords back to rest.
"The blessings that others can't ask for have become torture to you! You girl is really a blessing! Ye Yun said with a smile.
Although Dayan has always had the tradition of keeping the New Year, only the royal family really kept the same night, and most of the people only kept the time.
Like when a few of them were not married, they only kept watch with their families in the house until they were younger, and they would never keep watch all night.
Hearing this, Baili Shihan unceremoniously threw her a big roll of the eyes and said, "Come on!" That's it, a blessing that you can't ask for? It's really devastating! โ
"Hahaha! If you are really annoyed by the New Year's Eve, you can go and tell your grandmother and father that they can ban this bad habit! Su Jinli couldn't help but smile.
"Humph! Are you so stupid to me? Isn't this going to scold? Forget it, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I'm so sleepy that my eyelids are glued together, and I'm going back to the palace to fall asleep! Baili Shihan rubbed his eyes and said.
After that, he grabbed Gu Mingyue's arm and walked quickly.
"Let's go and rest! There's still a tough battle to fight in the afternoon! Ye Yun smiled, and looked in the direction of the Renle Hall with a stunned gaze.
Su Jinli bowed, and then they separated, and each went back to the arranged palace to rest.
โฆโฆ
In a few moments, Su Jinli, Baili Shihan, Ye Yun and other concubines arrived at Ci'an Palace, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw that the spacious hall was full of palace concubines and women who came to greet the queen mother and queen.
Several of them unconsciously quickened their pace, and when they reached a distance of five steps from the Queen Mother, they knelt down and kowtowed together, and chanted neatly: "Granddaughter-in-law knocks to see the imperial grandmother!" The emperor's grandmother Wan An Jinfu! โ
After that, he kowtowed three times again, and said: "The son knocks to see the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed with peace and gold!" โ
"Excuse me! Flat, give a seat! The Queen Mother kindly raised her hand and let them get up.
"Thank you for your grace!" Several people saluted again, and then they stood up together, and walked to the seats that had been arranged long ago.
The banquet of the hundred officials was held at four o'clock, so they did not sit in the Ci'an Palace for long, and some eunuchs came in and asked the queen mother to lead the ladies to move to the Renle Palace.
"The feast is about to begin, so let's move to the Hall of Benevolence with the mourning family!" The Queen Mother smiled gently.
She smiled warmly without the slightest aggression, but she was still graceful and luxurious, but everyone did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
This is the prestige she has cultivated over the years as a superior, even if she greets her with a smile, it is still impossible to ignore!
"Concubines (courtiers, sons, granddaughters-in-law) obey orders!" Everyone in the hall replied respectfully.
Then the Queen Mother walked out with the support of Gonggong Yun and Princess Shunyi, followed by the Queen Mother, followed by Su Guifei and other concubines.
After the concubines came out, the other clans and ladies in the hall followed neatly in order according to their status.
It didn't take long for the ladies to arrive at the Renle Palace.
Emperor Yongli and the princes and the princes, the princes and princes in Kyoto at this time, as well as the princes and officials of the clan have already sat down.
When the eunuch at the gate of the palace sang loudly: "The queen mother has arrived!" The Queen Mother has arrived! At that time, Emperor Yongli left the table and stood up, and the rest of the people left the table one after another to bow down.
Neatly arranged: "Weichen (sons, grandchildren) knock to see the Queen Mother, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Weichen (younger brother, son-in-law) knocked to see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old! โ
The queen was solemn, and proudly walked to the top and sat down under the support of Gonggong Yun.
Then she waved her sleeves and said: "Zhu Qing is flat!" โ
Everyone got up according to the words, and at the same time, the queen and other female dependents knelt down and saluted: "The concubines (courtiers, sisters, and sons) knock to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" โ
"Flat!" Emperor Yongli raised his right hand majestically.
All the ladies thanked her, and then the queen took the lead in walking to Emperor Yongli and sat down, and the rest of the concubines took their seats in turn, followed by Su Jinli and others.
After everyone sat down, Emperor Yongli raised the wine bottle and said a lot of auspicious words such as Tianyou Dayan, and everyone echoed, and then the banquet officially began.
Today's banquet is intended to feast hundreds of officials, and it is rich and abnormal, but everyone's mind is not on the wine and delicacies full of seats, nor on appreciating the peerless dancing girl dancing lightly in the center of the main hall, and they are always paying attention to the look and words of Emperor Yongli.
After all, there have been so many things happening in the months leading up to the New Year, and there is some turmoil in the entire government and the opposition, and the ministers are all in danger.
It was the high-ranking princes of Ning and An and the princes whose expressions were not very relaxed.
The Queen Mother was very worried about this scene, so she had to find ways to liven up the atmosphere, but no matter how hard she tried, everyone's thoughts were still heavy, and the atmosphere in the hall was depressing.
This is probably the most cold and solemn banquet since Emperor Yongli succeeded to the throne, and the strange atmosphere in this time made the lively Baili Shihan dare not chat with others, and has been waiting for Dayan to end.
Finally, the feast that lasted for an hour and a half ended under the face of Emperor Yongli who was so heavy that he could drip water, and with the departure of the first few masters, everyone only felt that the big stone in their hearts had landed.
"Grandpa Guo, what does it mean that His Majesty has left several princes or princes in Kyoto?" A general from the Su family army wondered.
He is a straightforward general, and he doesn't know much about the twists and turns above the court.
He just thought it was strange.
After the founding of the Great Yan, Taizu was afraid that the kings would be in trouble, so he strictly stipulated that the kings must stay in the fiefdom and not enter the capital without a summons, and they must leave the prince in the capital to be a companion.
And if a certain king served in the court, then the prince should stay in the fief.
After Emperor Yongli ascended the throne, he strictly governed the princes and princes in strict accordance with this regulation!
Now, he suddenly summoned back several princes who had stayed in the fiefdom for many years, and said that he would let these princes play in Kyoto for a few months.
This...... It's hard not to be thought-provoking!
Even a martial artist like him, who is not sensitive to politics, has noticed the slightest treachery.
"Your Majesty's thoughts, but you and I can guess at them? Let's go back and stay in peace! The old man frowned slightly, and shouted coldly.
Seeing that he was angry, the general sneered: "It's the lower official's gaffe!" I hope that Grandpa Guo should not be angry! โ
"You just have to remember that you are loyal and patriotic! No matter how the weather in Kyoto changes, it will definitely not affect you! The old man warned angrily.
Emperor Yongli may not know why, but he knows the reason, but I am afraid that there will be a period of restlessness in this capital in the future!
He could only remind him so vaguely of the generals and sons of the Gongfu lineage.
Hearing this, the general also had some conjectures in his heart, but he didn't mention it anymore, and only said respectfully: "Your Majesty should remember the teachings of Grandpa Guo!" โ
With that, he walked away quickly.
"Shibo, do you know the inside story of Your Majesty's move?" As soon as the general left, An Guogong came over.
The two mansions of Ning and An are world friends, and it is only to avoid people's eyes and ears that they look like they are alive on weekdays, and there are not many people at the moment, so An Guogong will talk to Ning Guogong so affectionately.
An Guogong and the late son Suning An are of the same generation, so he has to respectfully call the old prince "Shibo".
"The old man knows a little bit about it, but it's just that there are many people here who talk a lot! If you want to know what's wrong with this, you can send Song Yi's kid to Ningguo Mansion! Ning Guogong said in a low voice.
As he said this, officials who had not gone far had already looked at him.
It is really eye-catching for the grandfathers of Ning and An to talk together.
It's just that the two of them are smiling and looking like they're saying hello, and others can't tell what they're talking about, so they can only guess secretly.
An Guogong's eyes swept away, and he took the curiosity on the faces of those officials in his eyes, and he laughed loudly: "Su Shibo is right! It's the juniors who don't think about it properly! โ
Then, he said in a low voice: "The younger generation knows, and I will let the child bring a congratulatory gift to the Ningguo Mansion to greet you for the New Year!" โ
The old man bowed slightly, and then touched his beard and said, "An Guogong is serious!" The old man just said it casually! The old man has to go back to drink medicine, so he will leave! โ
With that, he strode away.
An Guogong swept his cold eyes over the people who had just stretched his neck to look at him, secretly remembered these people in his heart, and then left with a smile.
The grandfathers of Ning and An left one after the other, and the rest of the people had no scruples, and they were in groups of three or five, greeting each other tentatively.
A group of people chatted until they left the palace gate before they dispersed, but no matter how hard they tried, they didn't figure out what Emperor Yongli wanted, nor did they guess what the two princes were talking about.
โฆโฆ
In the evening, when others were immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, Song Yi came to the Ningguo Mansion with a box of valuable treasures.
Because the old prince had already ordered, as soon as he arrived at the gate, a guard respectfully led him to Songyi Temple.
After being welcomed into the study by Uncle Zhong from the gate of Songyi Temple, Song Yi saw the old Guogong.
"The younger generation meets the old man! Wishing you good health! Song Yi respectfully bowed to the juniors.
"Boy Yi, don't be polite to the old man! Sit down! The old man pointed directly to the chair opposite him.
