Chapter 30: The Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet in the Palace

In fact, although Feng Yanyi wanted to play tricks on Hongye, when she said the word "execution", she couldn't help but be a little scared.

Hongye naturally felt the change in the person in his arms. "What do you think?" Hongye asked Feng Yanyi rhetorically.

"The concubine doesn't know." Feng Yanyi replied truthfully.

Hongye's hand stroked Feng Yanyi's arm and said, "I am like Cao Pi, but I am not Cao Pi." You look like Zhen Luo, but you are not Zhen Luo. I will not be like Cao Pi, who will not be able to make Wei strong and dominate the world. I want to make Daqi prosperous and open up a prosperous generation. ”

Feng Yanyi can feel the firmness and courage of the people she relies on. He said he wanted to create a prosperous generation, but he didn't say what the future would be. Hongye didn't tell her, and she wouldn't ask again.

Feng Yanyi obediently leaned on Hongye's arms, she was very tired, but she couldn't sleep.

The two of them sat on the bed in this position for a long, long time.

……

Chinese New Year's Eve came, and the whole palace banquet was held in Qingkangxuan at Shenshi.

Hongye was alone at a table, and a long table was set up between the big banquet table and Hongye's dragon seat. The dishes are all placed on the banquet table.

The musicians of the music supervisor played palace music, Hongye sat with the queen mother, the queen and the concubines, Feng Yan remembered as Jieyu, and then sat in the lower middle, under the pure concubines, and above the real nobles.

The eunuchs and palace ladies who served the whole palace banquet first served a box of soup for Hongye, the queen mother, and the queen. "Pair box", take the auspicious meaning of pairs. Subsequently, the palace ladies served soup for the concubines of the harem. After that, the music stops and the feast begins.

The eunuchs and palace ladies served all kinds of dishes on the banquet table from Hongye's table. After Hongye ran out, he was transferred to the companion table according to his level.

The whole palace banquet was carried out in an orderly manner. The singers in the song and dance room are graceful, soft and pleasing to the eye.

"Concubine Yun, today's banquet arrangement for the whole palace is still good." Hongye said to Concubine Yun under the seat, "It's not easy for you to do it before but you can do it." In the future, you will share more of the affairs of the harem for the queen. ”

Hongye gave Concubine Yun the right to be the assistant manager of the harem, which is really a heavy reward.

Concubine Yun was not shocked and thanked her: "Thank you Emperor Longen, the concubines will definitely share the burden for the emperor and the queen wholeheartedly." However, this palace banquet can be held well, thanks to the assistance of Concubine Qi, Concubine Chun, Jing Jieyu and other sisters, otherwise the concubine alone would not have arranged it so thoughtfully. ”

Hongye chuckled and nodded: "All rewards." Not long before Zhang Dekai, the Luoyu red sandalwood presented by the West Sunan County and the jade jade presented by the Qianzhong County each gave one to the three of them. ”

Feng Yanyi, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Chun said together: "Thank you for your grace." ”

Hongye rewarded everyone in the harem, and everyone was happy.

Another important part of the whole palace banquet is the performance of each palace.

The queen made a huge embroidery of splendid rivers and mountains for Hongye, and the queen is good at female workers.

Hongye said with a happy face: "It's hard work, I like it very much." ”

After the emperor and queen fell in love, they were other concubines.

Concubine Yun is good at the guzheng, and played the song "Yangchun White Snow", which means that winter goes to spring, everything grows, and there is vitality. Concubine Qi is good at dancing, but she is inconvenient to get pregnant, so she doesn't show it. Concubine Shu is good at pipa, and her skills are amazing, and Hongye is full of praise. Pure concubines and true nobles also showed their talents.

Only Feng Yanyi didn't show it, she has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is not proficient, and she is not very good. Only the dance posture thinks it can be regarded as above the middle level, but her knees are not good and complete.

"Sister Jing, I'm just sending you." The pure concubine smiled.

Everyone didn't know what Feng Yanyi was good at, and they were all curious.

Feng Yanyi was spending Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace for the first time, and she didn't know that the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace was to perform talents for the emperor, and no one reminded her, so she didn't prepare.

"When the concubine had not yet entered the palace in the prince's mansion, I heard rumors that the lord of Yanwang's mansion was good at white dance, and the dancing posture was amazing. But it's a pity that I've been inconvenient in the past two days. Concubine Yun spoke out to relieve Feng Yanyi.

When Hongye heard Concubine Yun say this, he said regretfully: "Yan Yi is injured, and I am also responsible." It was my own mistake that ruined my own eyes. ”

Hongye's eyes floated over the Queen Mother and Feng Yanyi, and the three of them had slowly let go of the events of that day.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "Yan Yi is inconvenient this time, let's show it to the emperor next time." ”

Feng Yanyi replied: "Yes." ”

The whole palace banquet is almost over, and the palace ladies serve fruit tea. After drinking the fruit tea, the concubines got up one after another, and Hongye left the banquet.

The musicians of the musician supervisor played the ode music, and the whole palace feast ended.

Each palace returned to its own palace, and each kept the New Year in its own palace. The laws of the Daqi Palace stipulate that Chinese New Year's Eve and Zhengdan Festival (the first day of the new year) must be spent at the Empress's Fengkun Palace.

Luanyi Palace

Feng Yanyi wanted to bathe and sleep when she returned to Luanyi Palace, but Jichun and Wenxia refused to accommodate her, and she wanted her master to keep the New Year. In Daqi, everyone must observe the New Year's Eve on Chinese New Year's Eve to welcome the new year.

"Send Spring, go and help me call Lingqiu and Rundong." Feng Yanyi instructed Jichun Dao.

"Master, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, slaves and Wen Xia are on duty, and Ling Qiu and Rundong have returned to their houses to keep the year." Jichun replied.

Ask Xia to know the reason why Feng Yan recalled Lingqiu and Rundong, so he said to Jichun: "The master asked you to call them, you can call them, go quickly." ”

Jichun probably understood about it, so he went out to Lingqiu and Rundong's house and summoned him to the main hall.

Lingqiu and Rundong came, saluted and greeted: "Blessings to the mother!" ”

Feng Yanyi sat on the hard collapse, looked at the two of them, and said, "You don't have to be polite when you get up first." ”

Lingqiu and Rundong got up.

Feng Yanyi smiled faintly and said, "I called the two of you here, and there is nothing important. I just want to ask you, do you know that the whole palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace, the concubines of the palace want to show their talents? ”

Ling Qiu and Rundong listened to Feng Yanyi's words, but they didn't understand for a while, and then they finally understood, and hurriedly asked: "The slave forgot to tell Niangniang about this, please punish Niangniang." ”

Feng Yanyi looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and said, "Did you really forget, or did you deliberately not tell me?" ”

Ling Qiu replied in a panic: "The slave really doesn't forget about it. The slave maid had never accompanied the queen mother to serve the whole palace banquet before, so she forgot about it completely. ”

Rundong was also busy saying that he was in the same situation as Lingqiu.

"I came to you just to make you understand that you must be cautious and careful in handling things in the palace. Since the Queen Mother let you follow me, then we will be both prosperous and lossy for each other. Feng Yanyi said with a softened face.
