Chapter 18: The Banquet

The next day, Mu Huayin slept until noon and didn't get up.

She opened the door with two big dark circles under her eyes and yawned.

Rue Xiang hurriedly brought a group of palace maids in to freshen her up, and another group of palace maids set breakfast on the table for her.

"Master, why are you so tired?" Rue asked knowingly.

Isn't the reason clear?

Who in the entire harem didn't know that the emperor rested in Fengqi Palace last night.

Sure enough, Mu Huayin rubbed her sleepy eyes, "You don't know, I tossed all night last night." ”

The devil knows why she had a one-night spring dream last night.

In the dream, she and Xia Yichen called a dry firewood fire, like glue and paint.

Ahh

Rue Xiang helped her comb her hair, leaned into her ear, and asked in a low voice, "Is the emperor very capable of tossing?" ”

Very? Yes?

Mu Huayin thought about what Xia Yichen did last night and nodded, "Well, he's really hard to serve." ”

Rue Xiang had such an expression on her face.

After cleaning up about it, Mu Huayin drank porridge and instructed Ruxiang, "You let people prepare, and then go to Chuxiu Palace to inform me that I will hold a banquet in the imperial garden today to entertain all the girls." ”

In order not to let last night's events repeat again and again, Mu Huayin felt that she should speed up the progress of choosing a concubine.

These women have been in the palace for more than ten days, and they must be in great need of a chance to show themselves.

She also happened to take the opportunity to choose one first, and she had a bottom in her heart.

As soon as the news reached Chuxiu Palace, it immediately exploded.

The queen is preparing to choose people openly.

The girls hurriedly bathed and changed their clothes, combed their hair and dressed up, and prepared all kinds of props for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that they were good at, and they were bound to show their limelight at today's banquet.

Just after noon, the imperial garden was crowded with warblers and swallows dressed in various colors.

As soon as Mu Huayin approached, she felt that her head was about to explode.

So many people, chattering, it's too noisy.

"The Queen Mother has arrivedβ€”"

Surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs, she joined the chair at the top.

"See the Queen."

Mu Huayin put her hand in front of her eyes and looked up.

I saw that the people in the garden were kneeling on the ground densely, much more magnificent than the emperor, after all, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could not catch up with this huge number of people.

"Let's all get up," Mu Huayin raised her hand, "This palace is here to entertain everyone today, you don't have to be too formal, let's start eating." ”

remembered that before the start of the last dinner, Xia Yichen talked a lot of nonsense, Mu Huayin directly cut to the topic in line with the kindness of not doing to others what she did not want.

The queen's order, how dare not obey, all the girls took their seats and began to move chopsticks.

Mu Huayin's gaze began to shuttle back and forth between the people on the table.

The one in green clothes looks pretty good, but when he eats, he seems to be too reserved, and he looks very hypocritical at first glance, well, it's too fake, don't.

The one in blue clothes, the figure is okay, but it seems that she eats a little too much, and it may cost a lot of money to raise her, well, it's too expensive, don't.

The one in red clothes, the appearance is fine, and eating is no problem, but looking at her vulgar dress, well, it's too tasteless, don't.

……

Not long after picking, Mu Huayin felt that her eyes had been spent.

The palace maid fanned her on the side, and Rue Xiang took a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat oozing from her forehead.

Mu Huayin glanced up at the scorching sun overhead.

She felt that she was so hard.

What other woman in the world would do her best to choose a little wife for her husband like her.

Alas, in her position, seeking her position, who made her queen?
