On the opposite side is a large polished brass dressing mirror, which clearly reflects a pair of people who are intertwined.

The woman's coquettishness is like a flower, with the man's movements, the body rises and falls, and a pair of eyes are even more charming like silk, indescribable charm.

The man left red plums on her snow-white skin.

Warm as a spring day, the house ripples that make people reverie boundlessly.

On the thirtieth day, Lu Ying went out early in the morning to get busy.

Cai Wei slept until she woke up naturally, got up and washed, had breakfast, and watched the lights in the yards everywhere, pasted window flowers, hung lanterns, and in the afternoon, pasted peach charms and spring couplets.

She watched in the courtyard for a while, consumed her food, and then returned to Cai Weixuan, and lay down on the chaise longitine, intending to take a nap.

This is still the first year she has spent in ancient times, and she doesn't know what it is like to attend a royal banquet in the palace, and it will not be good to be sleepy at that time.

But lying on the couch for half a day, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

I had to call the little five and six to ask about the royal banquet in the palace.

The five and six are not very old, and they are not qualified to attend the royal banquet in the palace, and the two of them are just hearsay.

"I heard that the battle of the imperial banquet is very large, and there are many people who go, basically all of them are royal people, like adults, it is already considered exceptional." Xiao Wu's personality is more stable, and he said slowly.

Xiao Liu's temperament jumped out of his temper, and as soon as his brain was hot, he opened his mouth and came, "Isn't that because the adults in our family are good-looking and favored by Princess Gu'an?"

Before she finished speaking, she was slapped hard by Xiao Wu, screamed in pain, and glared at Xiao Wu dissatisfied, "What are you hitting me for?" ”

"It's useless for Princess Gu'an to like adults no matter how much she likes, don't adults look down on her?" Xiao Wu glared at her, looked at Cai Wei and said with a smile.

Xiaoliu still didn't understand, "Then you don't have to beat me." ”

Cai Wei couldn't help laughing, "Okay, you don't have to hit her." It's not a bad thing that the princess likes your family. ”

Xiao Liu came to his senses after realizing this, and looked at Cai Wei apologetically and apologized, "Madam, it's the slave who has no mouth to hide, don't go to your heart, I didn't mean to." How can Princess Gu'an compare with you? ”

"It's that I can't compare to Princess Gu'an! People come from very noble backgrounds, and they must be good-looking and talented. And I'm just a little-known little woman. ”

Cai Wei didn't feel jealous when she said this, and her tone was very calm, and she sighed from the bottom of her heart.

But in the ears of Xiao Wu Xiao Liu, it's not a taste, Madame, this is sad, right? After all, no one wants their husband to be remembered.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort Cai Wei.

"Madam, Xiao Liuzui is almost out of brains, he said something that shouldn't be said, he doesn't mean anything else, don't take it to heart." Xiao Wu was so anxious that he glared at Xiao Liu, trying his best to comfort Cai Wei.

Xiao Liu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he also made amends, "Madam, it's all the fault of the slave's useless mouth." The slave will smash it, don't be sad, that Princess Gu'an is a fart, and the adults have never looked at her at all! ”

"Madame, don't think so, you are the best woman in the world, the most beautiful, the kindest, the loveliest, and the most capable in the eyes of adults. Princess Gu'an just has a good father, how can she compare to you, she doesn't even want to lift shoes for you. Or the adults in our family have vision. ”

She said a lot of good things in the lala, but she didn't talk about it in the end, which made Cai Wei cry and laugh, and nodded her forehead and scolded with a smile, "You girl, you are poor-mouthed, but Princess Gu'an can we talk about it?" Fortunately, your family is in charge of the edict, otherwise you would have been sent to the edict to be skinned and cramped. ”

She is not alarmist, if it were someone else, the ubiquitous Jinyi guard should have arrested her a long time ago.

Xiao Liu was so frightened that he hurriedly stuck out his tongue and waved his hand again and again, "The slave and maid will never do it again, madam, don't tell the adult." ”

It turns out that she is still afraid?

Cai Wei condensed her face and looked at Xiao Liudao seriously, "Since your family has chosen the two of you to serve me, I must have some skills." Just have to keep your mouth shut, don't know how to die. There are many opportunities to enter the palace in the future, and there is no one else around me, so I have to bring the two of you. The palace is no better than the house, and everything must be done cautiously. ”

The two girls realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly knelt down, and said solemnly, "Madame's teaching is true, and the slaves and maids don't dare anymore." ”

"Get up. People like us must be cautious in their actions. Evil comes out of your mouth, and you must remember it. Cai Wei gave them another lecture, and then ordered them to get up.

The little five and the six got up from the ground, and their expressions were no longer as relaxed as they had been.

Although Cai Wei couldn't bear it, she had to say it.

Lu Ying is now in a high position, and she is a person from the prince's side, and if she is not very good, she will be caught by someone with a heart.

What's more, the crown prince and King Cheng have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and the people in the court are also divided into two factions.

Seeing that these two girls were as anxious as if they were facing a great enemy, Cai Wei knew that she had scared them with these words, so she couldn't help but soften her face and divert the topic, "Hurry up and tell me, what do you need to pay attention to at this imperial banquet?" I was nervous and couldn't sleep well. ”

Sure enough, these two girls were overjoyed by her words, and they said one by one, "I heard the little guy who went with the adults earlier, in fact, the royal banquet in the palace was good, but I couldn't eat anything." The rules in the palace are complicated, everyone has to be tense, and naturally they can't eat, so you have to use some snacks at home in advance! ”

"Everyone who goes there is not only to eat and drink, but also to perform some things that everyone is good at."

"Everyone's best thing? What is that? ”

Cai Wei didn't expect to have so many tricks for a royal banquet!

Where is this for the Chinese New Year? It's clearly a competition of all kinds of talents, and if you don't have two brushes, you really can't go to that kind of place.

Cai Wei thinks that she doesn't have anything she can handle, when it comes to dancing, she knows some, but it's different from the dance of this era, I don't know if she will be scared when she is seen by others?

On piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is just a little the same skin, and for a while, her mind is empty.

"So, what are the best things?" Cai Wei couldn't help but ask, wanting to know more.

"Actually, there is nothing new, it is nothing more than the men chanting poems and paintings, and the women probably dancing and singing.

"So you want to compete with this?" When Cai Wei reacted and asked in hindsight, she realized that she only knew a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her dancing and singing music were not as good as those high-ranking nobles.

After all, she only has medical skills.

It's just that this medical skill can be performed at the royal banquet.

Cai Wei couldn't help frowning, thinking about how to deal with this royal banquet?

Since most of the people who go at night are from the royal family, and she, as Lu Ying's wife, can't embarrass him.

Thinking about it, Cai Wei felt that she could only think of something different and new, so that everyone could not find flaws and be more attractive to others.

She thought about it and finally came up with an idea, which was a little chemical magic trick she had played with her classmates in medical school.

So she didn't even sleep for a nap, turned over and sat up, urged the two girls, and instructed, "Go find a cotton thread and a steel needle, and you can go and mix a bowl of thick salt water." ”

Xiao Wu Xiaoliu didn't know what Mrs. wanted to do when she suddenly asked for cotton thread, steel needles and thick salt water, but I heard that when Mrs. was practicing medicine outside, she had used cotton threads and steel needles to stitch up wounds.

Could it be that Madame is going to show how to suture people's wounds at the royal banquet? But who of the people at the royal feast will have wounds?

The two girls were suspicious, but they didn't dare to ask, so they had to keep their minds and obediently prepare what Cai Wei wanted.

After the cotton thread about a foot long was brought in, Cai Wei casually threw the cotton thread directly into the soaked thick salt water.

The eyes of the little five and the six widened, thinking to themselves Is this antivirus?

I've heard that this thick salt water can kill a lot of poisonous things, and it seems to be exactly that.

After soaking for about a while, Cai Wei uses silver chopsticks to remove the cotton thread and dry it in a cool and ventilated place. After that, the dried cotton thread is re-soaked in salt water, and so repeated 10 times, the cotton thread has absorbed the salt, forming a strong salt crust on the outside of the cotton thread.

She poked the salt-crusted noodle with the little finger of her left hand, which was hard and soft again.

She hooked her lips in satisfaction and put the thread and needles into the sleeve pocket of her undershirt.

Xiao Wu Xiaoliu couldn't help but be curious, and asked her, "Madam, did you bring this into the palace?" ”

"Well, my piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not as good as those noble ladies of the family, so I can only rely on this to attract everyone's attention."

She sold it a little, and didn't show it to the little five and six on the spot, but said, "You must follow me into the palace at night, and when the time comes, you will understand after a few quiet glances." ”

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, but Cai Wei didn't say it, and they didn't want to ask again.

Ready for all this, Cai Wei was not so apprehensive in her heart, and after lying down again, she soon fell asleep.

I slept soundly this night, and I was still awakened by Lu Ying. When she opened her hazy sleepy eyes and looked at the enlarged handsome face in front of her, she realized that it was Lu Ying who had returned.

"You, when did you come back?" She rolled to the side, dodging Lu Ying's masculine face.

"For a while, I saw that you slept soundly, and I was reluctant to call you." Lu Ying rubbed her little nose affectionately and looked at her lovingly, "It's like a kitten, so can you sleep?" ”

"I don't know how long it will be at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through, so I'll sleep first." Cai Wei muttered, dodging Lu Ying's chin that had just grown a mustache.

"Hehe, you'll be blessed. It's a pity that your husband and I were born to work hard, and we had to get up early in the morning and be busy until the afternoon. Lu Ying frowned, looking a little tired.

"If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government!" Cai Wei sighed, "I'm a bastard who eats and waits for death, what else can I do if I don't sleep and grow meat?" ”

She was full of words.

However, Lu Ying knows her very well, but in the past few days, she has only been leisurely for a few days. When the spring of the New Year is over, when she gets busy, she is probably crazier than anyone else.

Seeing Cai Wei want to get up, Lu Ying simply hugged her waist, fell onto the couch, and said with a smile, "It's still early, I'll lie down for a while before I go." ”

So he hugged Cai Wei and lay down again.

At night, when the lights were on, Lu Ying had already taken Cai Wei to take the carriage of the Lu Mansion and parked outside the gate outside the palace.

There are rules in the palace that such carriages are not allowed to enter, and all civil and military officials must get off the carriage and dismount at this point.

Lu Ying personally lifted the curtain, helped Cai Wei get out of the carriage, and kept pulling her inside, and she didn't know how long she walked before she arrived at the palace of Feast.

The lights inside were bright, and the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went wore flowers and butterflies, but there was no sound at all.

Cai Wei is wondering if this royal etiquette has been cultivated since childhood?

Hearing the bursts of silk and bamboo in her ears, Cai Wei unconsciously heard it, took Lu Ying's hand, and walked inside.

There was a fire dragon burning in the palace, warm as spring, and as soon as I came in, I immediately sweated on my body.

Some palace maids had already come up to greet them, took off their big hats, and hung them on the hangers in the corners.

Lu Ying stroked her face, and quickly pulled Cai Wei to find an inconspicuous seat and sit down, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

The people in the palace greeted Lu Ying and Cai Wei from time to time, and Lu Ying was not rude and nodded with a smile, and specially introduced Cai Wei.

But after a while, a soft whip was heard, and everyone who was talking and laughing quickly stopped their mouths, and knelt in the main hall one by one.

Lu Ying also hurriedly pulled Cai Wei to kneel.

Cai Wei understood, it turned out that the emperor had arrived.

After three silent whips, there was a sound of broken footsteps. saw a light moving slowly at the door, and then, out of the corner of her eye, Cai Wei saw two little eunuchs walking into the palace gate. Then, the two palace maids led the way, the two palace maids held a bright yellow lacquer box in their hands, and then a bright yellow umbrella cover, and everyone gathered around a warm sedan chair.

This is the majesty of heaven!

Cai Wei sighed and lowered her head deeply.

"The emperor has arrived!" The eunuch's unique male duck voice is particularly abrupt in this dark night!

Everyone bowed their heads and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"All the ministers are flat!" A sound of footsteps walked in step by step from outside the temple gate, and the slightly vicissitudes of life sounded, Cai Wei only let out a breath of air, followed Lu Ying to get up from the ground, and hid in the crowd.

I saw that a bright yellow figure had already walked to the dragon chair at the top, holding the hand of the great eunuch Lin Qianzhong, and slowly sat down.

Cai Wei is not the first time to see the emperor, all she can see is an anxious father, a conscientious father. She had never seen such a majestic emperor, and she only felt that the slightly tired face was a little majestic against the backdrop of the bright yellow dragon robe.

The momentum of the superior will always be awe-inspiring!
