Zhang Ning greeted a few people with a smile and left, leaving a few palace maids waiting outside the pavilion.

The dishes are very simple, they are all light things, and the palace ladies put the dishes on the table for several young ladies and prepared chopsticks, which saved everyone a lot of trouble.

Zhang Li and Zhang Zhuxuan don't have the restraint of a few younger sisters, probably because they have come to Cining Palace too many times, so they are not so unaccustomed to the familiar territory, and they have gained a trace of freedom in the so-called rules.

Xiao Qi ate some at the banquet just now, and now he has no appetite, still thinking about what the Queen Mother said to him just now.

"Don't think too much about the Queen Mother's words just now, eat something first, and when you return to the banquet later, you will be hungry again."

"Big sister, you haven't thought about it..."

"Hmm!" Zhang Zhuxuan interrupted Zhang Zhuyun's speech, and put a little food on Zhang Zhuyun beside him, and said, "Let's eat first and go back quickly, so as not to worry a few of your close friends." ”

Zhang Zhuxuan's words made several people realize that they couldn't say much now.

Xiao Qi casually took a few mouthfuls of rice, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, looking preoccupied, and several sisters also knew that the Queen Mother was talking to Xiao Qi about these things today, and they didn't figure out what it was.

A few people also ate some hastily without words, to suppress hunger, and then let the palace maid enter the door to tell the Queen Mother, they had finished eating, waiting outside the palace, waiting for the Queen Mother's orders.

After a while, Zhang Ning came out and said: "The Queen Mother said that you can leave by yourself, you must remember today's words, don't forget, the Queen Mother also said three things."

The first thing is that in the future, Zhang Li, a disciple of the medical saint, will not have to enter the palace to see the driver, and the second thing is that Zhang Zhuxuan, the third lady of the Zhang family, will learn the etiquette of the palace in the palace of Concubine Xuan in the future, and must not walk around indiscriminately. ”

After saying the second thing, when the third thing was about to be done, Zhang Ning smiled, walked to Xiao Qi's side, and pulled Xiao Qi aside and said I don't know what he said.

Finally, Zhang Ning cleared his throat and said, "Okay, you guys can retreat by themselves." ”

"Whoa."

Walking out of Cining Palace, they still saw Father-in-law Hou smiling and sending off a few people, and there was nothing disrespectful.

Everything is like it just came, and everything is like it didn't come.

Zhang Li and Zhang Zhuxuan didn't know what was going on at this moment, although they couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother was so affectionate suddenly, but what was even more curious was what the female official Zhang Ning said to Xiao Qi.

The two sisters are too worried about Xiao Qi, but these things can't be said much in the palace, and these things can only be interrogated when they return to the palace.

Of course, if Xiao Qi has nothing to say, then the two sisters have nothing to do.

They returned to the courtyard where the palace banquet was held, and did not return to the location of their Zhang family, but scattered to find their close friends.

When they went to see the Queen Mother, they didn't talk about it in detail with their respective girlfriends, although they definitely couldn't escape the eyes of some people, but these are often true and false, false and real, and let others guess.

Zhang Li was the last to leave, sending Xiao Qi all the way back to the distance, and it was only when she saw Liu Yunhua and Liu Yeyu come back that she rubbed Xiao Qi's head and left.

The ladies or ladies who return to their seats will be prepared for them by the palace maids and eunuchs at the back, and as for the dishes on the table, they will also ask them whether they want to make up for them again, or wait for the next round together.

Liu Yunhua picked up the wine glass and sat next to Xiao Qi, and asked, "Where have you been?" ”

"Where to go to the Queen Mother."

Liu Yunhua in the back didn't ask, as for Xiao Qi's question about what he and Liu Yeyu had just done, Liu Yunhua didn't answer, just quietly drank by himself, and was bound to drink enough in this palace banquet.

Xiao Qi glanced at the seat on the other side of him, the seat was already empty, and the girl named Polka Dot and Fang Yuting had already left.

"What's wrong?"

"Aunt Liu, did you just come back and see the person next to me?"

"That little girl from the Huinan royal family? What kind of Yuyao is it called? If not, then I don't know, and when we come back, you'll be empty. ”

Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "It's not Yuyao, it's just that I met a very interesting girl." ”

"Girl? Do you like it as much as you do? ”

"Aunt Liu really has a unique vision, but the other party should be higher than me in terms of eating."

Liu Yunhua put down the wine glass and looked at Xiao Qi, and said, "You can't be serious, right?" ”

"Seriously."

Liu Yunhua turned his head again, picked up the wine jug, and said to Xiao Qi: "There are too many people here, will you go elsewhere with me?" ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Qi took a look at the queen's side, although there were still people gathered, but the number of people was increasing, and there was a look of gathering in this direction.

"Okay. That willow night rain? ”

"You don't care what she does, let's just go by ourselves."

"Oh."

Liu Yunhua and Xiao Qi got up, and Liu Yeyu also followed, without any evasive thoughts at all.

"What do you want to do?"

"There are too many people here, so I thought I'd find a quiet place to sit."

After Liu Yeyu and Liu Yunhua came back together, she felt very happy, but she didn't know what happened between her and Liu Yunhua.

"And what are you chasing after us?"

"I didn't chase you, I just stopped by."

"Okay, Xiaoqi, let's go."

Liu Yeyu was still thinking about catching up, Liu Yunhua said, "Do you still want to follow?" ”

Liu Yeyu looked at Liu Yunhua's expression and said, "Auntie, go slowly, I'll go this way." ”

Seeing the unhappiness in Liu Yunhua's expression, Liu Yeyu hurriedly pointed out a path and walked alone.

Liu Yunhua said with satisfaction: "For Liu Yeyu, if you want to contact it in the future, just contact it." ”

Xiao Qi was very stunned, and Liu Yunhua said again: "Don't be surprised, this little guy is very scheming, otherwise he wouldn't stand out among the people in Chengguo." ”

"Just her?"

Liu Yunhua smiled, "You can learn from her calculations, don't learn from her, so that you won't be bullied when you marry someone else in the future." ”

"Aunt Liu, why are you talking about this again, I'm only a few years old now, and it will be a long time before I get married, so I don't have to think about this now."

Liu Yunhua and Xiao Qi talked all the way about life principles that seemed useful but were actually useless, and walked leisurely in the courtyard, all the way to the seats of the crowd in the courtyard.

Today's palace banquet can be described as a large number of people, not only more than 100 officials in the capital, plus officials from all over the country who come to Beijing, there can be more than 1,000 people, this is still some minor officials are not allowed to bring their family members into the palace to see the driver, and some officials do not bring too many family members.

Xiao Qi and Liu Yunhua walked from the front to the back, except for the seats of the princes and ministers in front of them, which were in three rows, but the ones in the back were not so regular, it was a good sign of Sanyang Kaitai, Sixty Six Shun, and Ninety-Nine to One.

According to the order of 369, it is still lined up, and the fewer people in the back, most of them are not in their own seats, whether they climb high branches or visit friends, His Majesty the Emperor today also said, there is no need to comply with the law of etiquette and kingship. This is not surprising.

Xiao Qi and Zhang Li found a place to sit down in a place where there were few people behind, and a palace maid looked at the clothes on Xiao Qi's body, and knew that this was the noble person in front.

Although things are not particular today, according to the previous ones, they cannot fail to follow the etiquette of dress, and their clothes are made in accordance with the rules and regulations issued by the Ministry of Etiquette.

What can and cannot be brought must be done in accordance with etiquette.

These palace maids and eunuchs have to learn etiquette before they can serve their masters, and these things must be known, so as not to be careful and collide with nobles.

All the concubines in this harem, except for the courtyard where they live, must do things according to etiquette, clothing, jewelry, unless it is given by His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise they cannot be overstepped, if they are exceeded, it is good not to be discovered.

If people find out, it will inevitably be a heavy punishment if they go to the queen's mother, and it will inevitably be ruined and disaster if they are solved privately.

The battle in the palace is so cruel, the slightest carelessness will be lost.

So after Xiao Qi sat down, those sharp-eyed people, even if they didn't know who these two nobles were, had already avoided them and didn't dare to approach this side.

It's much quieter here than before, and there aren't many people, and Xiao Qi hasn't noticed her sisters, and she doesn't know if they are meeting to leave the table, explore the imperial garden, or go to the courtyard where they are resting.

Along the way, there was no bustle on the queen's side, but there were also a few people who were besieged, and I don't know if it was the family of the prince and minister who were besieged.

There are also some friends who were not allowed to see each other in the early years, but they were able to get together in this palace banquet and return the lovesickness that they have not seen for many years.

Of course, those so-called things that are set up and married are indispensable.

For the prosperity of the family and the prosperity of his father, Xiao Qi doesn't know how many people will be determined in their life path after today.

Liu Yunhua poured himself a glass of wine, and at this time, the palace maid had not yet prepared the new dishes and chopsticks, which showed that these family members behind him were not taken seriously.

"Xiao Qi, if you get married in the future, you will also find a few people to talk to, otherwise if something happens, it will always be bad to hold it in your heart."

"Does Aunt Liu have such a person?"

Liu Yunhua pondered for a long time, as if he had thought of something, drank all the wine in the cup, looked at the bright starry sky, and said: "There used to be, but I don't know if she has turned into stars in the sky."

"Is it bad to be alone?"

Liu Yunhua smiled and said, "Have you lived alone for so many years?" ”

Xiao Qi shook his head and said; "I've always had Aunt Liu and the eldest sister by my side, I think that's enough."
