Chapter Seventy-One: The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet

"Yuguan, come here. It's been a busy day, so come to my aunt's place to rest. ”

At this time, it has come to the banquet part, and near the end, His Majesty is drunk, shaking his head with the palace servants in the Huxin Pavilion not far away, but the queen has always paid attention to Cheng Yuguan, who has been busy all day.

At this time, everyone feasted and drank, and the palace banquet came to a climax, and the queen mother of course knew that the most important place for a palace banquet had passed, and for the behind-the-scenes steward, it had come to an end.

The messy projects have come to an end, and they can also relax for a while and listen to the music.

Therefore, the queen beckoned Cheng Yuguan with a smile on her face and asked her to rest.

The voice of the queen's summoning was not loud or small, and at the palace banquet, most people were immersed in singing and dancing, only a few people in front of the queen noticed that the queen cared about Cheng Yuguan.

"That is, Yu Guan'er is too conscientious. It's rare that there was no mistake at today's dinner. ”

No more than some young sons and nobles who just watch the excitement.

A woman in charge like the British Duchess knows Cheng Yuguan's hard work as a person behind the scenes.

At this time, the queen mother spoke, and the eyes of the British duchess and others followed Cheng Yuguan.

The British duchess even took Cheng Yuguan's hand and looked at the queen's mother, "It's a pity that you are quick to start Niangniang, otherwise, I will set Yuguan'er to the third child of my family!" ”

The British duchess's joke caused everyone to laugh and praise Cheng Yuguan.

The queen mother saw that everyone praised Cheng Yuguan so much, and she was also happy, and followed everyone to pretend to be proud, "You guys are too slow, Yuguan has been given a marriage contract by His Majesty to my fourth child, and you can only look at it." ”

As she spoke, the queen's eyes looked behind the British duchess, "Your granddaughter is not bad, sit still, not wait for the waterside railing to join in the fun." ”

At this time, not only did there be singing and dancing in the Lake Center Pavilion, but Cheng Yuguan also arranged many small paper boat lights for interested ladies to return.

This is originally a custom of praying for blessings during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and naturally many people go to release the boat.

Everyone was having fun, but Bai Xiaoling was sitting behind her grandmother, and when she heard the queen praise herself, Bai Xiaoling smiled shyly.

"Don't praise me, the queen mother, compared with Sister Yuguan, I'm ashamed."

Everyone saw that Miss Bai's round face was red, her eyes were blinking, and her cute appearance made people like it when they looked at it.

"Okay, okay, our Xiaoling is a thin-skinned person, which makes your face red."

A noble lady teased Bai Xiaoling, Bai Xiaoling finally couldn't sit still, and suddenly got up and came to Cheng Yuguan's side, looking at everyone,

"I'm not with you, I'll take Sister Yuguan to the Water Pavilion to join in the fun."

Everyone laughed more and more, "Okay, you little sisters are at ease, and we old gangsters are talking alone." ”

Several of the people present were all housewives with extraordinary status, who were dignified and dignified on weekdays, and when they met and talked together, they also had a sense of ease and casualness that they did not have elsewhere.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan and Bai Xiaoling hurriedly said goodbye, and stayed any longer, I don't know what embarrassing ridicule these ladies will say.

"Auntie, I'll go to the water pavilion with Miss Bai."

The queen smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead, otherwise these people will eat people later." ”

Hearing the queen say this, the noble ladies looked at each other and laughed. Attract everyone's attention.

Cheng Yuguan took the opportunity to dodge with Bai Xiaoling.

…

"Sister is really powerful, such a big palace banquet, I'm afraid it doesn't require the assistance of hundreds of palace people, which involves melons, fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish, I'm afraid I don't have to book a few cars in advance? There are also lantern embroidery, singing and dancing rehearsals, so calculated, is to let me prepare three months in advance, I dare not say foolproof, I heard that my sister only more than half a month in advance, so thoughtful, really let my sister admire. ”

Leaving the queen's mother, Bai Xiaoling took Cheng Yuguan's arm and walked to the wooden corridor on the side, and went to the water pavilion from the corridor.

Listening to Bai Xiaoling's praise, Cheng Yuguan turned his head to look at Bai Xiaoling with an innocent face and shook his head.

"Miss Bai, don't praise me, it's all the credit of the four divisions and eight bureaus in the palace. They are experienced and capable people, and I just follow them, talk to them, and learn some experience. ”

Seeing Cheng Yuguan say this, Bai Xiaolingyue was still amazed.

"Several Shanggong bureaus in the palace gather talented people from all over the world, and it is rare for my sister to be able to do things with them."

Cheng Yuguan heard the words and looked at Bai Xiaoling, Bai Xiaoling noticed Cheng Yuguan's gaze, turned his head, the two looked at each other, and Bai Xiaoling showed a bright smile.

Seeing Bai Xiaoling like this, Cheng Yuguan let go of his arm, Bai Xiaoling took Cheng Yuguan's hand and drooped down, and the two instantly changed from the intimate appearance just now to two strangers in the same company.

…

The instantaneous change made Cheng Yu sigh unconsciously under concern.

Sure enough, this noble girl who grew up in a small man's heap, each pretentious, how can she really flatter others?

Bai Xiaoling pretended to praise just now, but Cheng Yuguan took the opportunity to resign, and Bai Xiaoling immediately changed her words, saying that it was all the credit of the palace bureau in the palace, and she just followed and mixed up her qualifications.

The speed of changing his face is so fast and natural, it is much more natural and sophisticated than Cheng Yulou's fake and slimy.

If the queen mother looked at the backs of the two all the way, I am afraid that the two would think that the two were close.

As everyone knows, among the two people, one of the smiling tigers has suddenly turned his face, and the other has seen the thoughts of the smiling tiger and has walked fearlessly by himself.

The two of them just have the same destination.

…

When I arrived at the water pavilion, I looked at the river, and the paper boats were carrying wind candles, as if from the distant sky, swaying to the front, and there were also noble women who wrote their wishes and lowered the paper boats.

There is a palace canal leading directly to Lishui outside the palace, and everyone watched the paper boat drift away, and finally left the sight, only to feel that the wish went straight to the sky.

The ladies are happy to put paper boats, and they also help others to catch paper boats and release paper boats.

Bai Xiaoling had already put away the fake face that he had just faced him, and smiled with the other nobles again.

Bai Xiaoling has a round face, and when he is full of smiles, his innocent smile makes it difficult to refuse.

Who would have thought that under such a smile, there is sophistication and coldness?

Cheng Yuguan leaned on the railing with his chest crossed, watching everyone play.

At the women's palace banquet, there is a blessing link.

The begging festival is to worship the moon and pray for blessings, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Yuguan had to set up such a mode of praying for blessings on a paper boat.

The environment here looks relaxed and wanton, but in fact, before today, Cheng Yuguan had already been inspected several times in this water pavilion promenade.

Until this morning, a slightly loose handrail and a shaky palace lamp were replaced.

Cheng Yuguan doesn't know why she checks repeatedly, there will still be loopholes, but it doesn't matter, she can check repeatedly until there are no mistakes or omissions.

"Secretary Cheng."

Cheng Yuguan observed behind everyone at any time, and a palace person walked around and came to Cheng Yuguan's side.

It's a female officer of the Division.

"At the railing of the Huxin Pavilion just now, there was another looseness, and the lower officials had already let people tie red silk to reinforce it. There is also the palace lamp at the end of the water pavilion, which was swaying in the wind just now, and almost fell down and hit the palace people, and the palace people you specially arranged to stare at found that they had been replaced in time. At present, there are only these two places, and the palace maids of the Si Wu Division in other places are still staring. ”

"Hmm."

Cheng Yuguan nodded, "Hard work female officer, Ming'er, I will definitely report to my aunt truthfully and reward you for your hard work." ”

The female official of the Ministry of Physics couldn't stop smiling on her face.

Originally, after the arrangement was completed yesterday, the secretary was relieved, but he didn't expect that Secretary Cheng wanted them to cheer up again and stare at it for a day today.

Originally, the palace maids were very complaining, but since Secretary Cheng found out a few loose omissions tonight, the palace people did not dare to slack off, tensed their nerves, and cheered up from the beginning of the banquet, which found out a few hidden dangers.

This alone is enough for their merits, plus what Cheng Siwu said, they suddenly feel that it is worth it even if they are tired.

The female official of the Siwu Division said goodbye, and Cheng Yuguan continued to stare at the many noble girls in front of him.

Cheng Yuguan has always been prepared to do things. I'd rather do more than make mistakes.

At present, there are palace people staring at all parts of the palace banquet, and only these noble girls in front of them are left, and there may be accidents.

So she didn't come here to play, but to work.

…

"Big sister, why are you staring at everyone like this? Let's go and play together. ”

Cheng Yuguan has a reflexive dislike for the word "sister".

One Cheng Yulou and one Bai Xiaoling both like to call "sister" with their mouths closed.

Bai Xiaoling, who had just sent away the face-changing, now Cheng Yulou came to him again.

Cheng Yuguan leaned on the pillar, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked at his posture leisurely, but in fact, he had been on full guard.

Cheng Yulou came over to speak, and Cheng Yuguan just glanced at her.

"I'm very tired, I don't want to move, my sister should go play by herself, just be careful. Although the railing here is not low, if someone accidentally pushes it, or does it on purpose, there is still a worry of falling into the water. ”

Cheng Yuguan's words meant something, and Cheng Yulou's face changed instantly.

"Does the eldest sister suspect that I will deliberately manipulate the banquet that my sister is responsible for?"

Cheng Yulou looked aggrieved, "Since this is the case, then my sister will tell the difference between my sister and my sister in front of the queen." I understand that my sister is nervous about organizing a banquet for the first time, so she doesn't have to be so full of soldiers, right? The queen invited me to wait, not to ask us to come over and be suspicious of my sister! ”

Saying that, Cheng Yulou was going to pull Cheng Yuguan to the queen to comment. He still shouted, "I can't be wronged by you in vain, although the queen is my sister and aunt, I also want to find the queen mother to say justice for me!" ”

Although Cheng Yulou didn't speak loudly, the uneven tone in his mouth still attracted some nobles to look back.

Although Cheng Yulou looks delicate on weekdays, his pushing hand is very powerful, and he seems to be determined to take Cheng Yuguan to the queen's mother.

"Yulou, don't be angry. Miss Yuguan is really nervous today, after all, it is the first time to organize a palace banquet, so you can understand her. ”

Bai Xiaoling persuaded with a meaningful tone.

"That is, this soil bun completes the big task of the palace banquet, so I am afraid that something will make the mother dissatisfied and affect her marrying into the Four Princes' Mansion. As everyone knows, for us and others, we have participated in this palace banquet one hundred and eighty times, who is like her? It's boring. ”

"That's it, since Miss Cheng doesn't worry that we are at the water's edge, then we simply don't play. The eldest lady of the province is still looking at us. Let's go back. This palace banquet looks like this, which is really disappointing. ”

"I don't want to, I'm going to watch the paper boat by the water, release the paper boat, let Miss Cheng let me let the wind out, you don't want to play and leave by yourself, I still want the eldest lady to escort it!"

…

All the noble women, you said a word, taunted Cheng Yuguan, Cheng Yulou saw this, his heart was happy, but his face was worried.

"Don't say that, my eldest sister held a palace banquet for the first time, and it was also the first time to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace, which is a little out of place with us, and it is normal."

The so-called noble girl is not only noble, but also a little lawless.

The young lady of an ordinary rich and noble family is pampered, and she doesn't know the height of the sky, not to mention these noble girls who are rich and noble.

On another level, they are the faΓ§ade and confidence raised by a family.

Therefore, when they speak, they have never been submissive, but have something to say.

This is the confidence of the noble lady.

Just like now, Cheng Yuguan's caution made them dissatisfied, so they clamored and shouted that they wanted to take Cheng Yuguan to confront the queen mother.

Of course, Cheng Yuguan's over-cautiousness is only one reason, on the other hand, Cheng Yuguan's high and unsociable, and he is married to the real pride of the sky, the fourth prince, which is the reason why these people are dissatisfied with Cheng Yuguan.

At the moment, a little negligence in holding Cheng Yuguan began, and everyone began to be unrelenting.

In the face of the crusade of the nobles, Cheng Yuguan put down his hands and spoke.

"Now that it's getting colder, everyone is wearing a thicker layer. It's dangerous to be near the water, and if you fall into the water, typhoid fever is no joke. I'm just here for your sake. Since you're so disgusted, well, I'll leave. ”

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan really turned around and left, all the nobles looked at each other as if they were victorious, and their eyes were full of pride.

"Yulou, your eldest sister is just a little capable. will be disgusting in private, once you mess with her, see what else can she do? Ago, she hired someone to come to the door to ask for a kiss and disgusted you, you should be generous and send that scoundrel to the official, cowardly, you can only fall behind! ”

"That is, who have we nobles been afraid of? Yuguan, your mother is also too careful, even if she is a stepwife, she doesn't have to be too weak, next time she will come forward and go back, you know? You should also show the momentum of our noble girl! ”

Seeing that everyone mentioned the "disgusting thing" a few days ago, Cheng Yulou's face was unnatural for a moment, but he still thanked everyone.

"Sisters, I know, not in the future. Next time..."

"Plop"

"Oh no, someone really fell overboard!"

Cheng Yulou didn't finish speaking, and suddenly, someone really fell into the water.

Cheng Yuguan, who hadn't gone far yet, heard the words, and immediately ran over to investigate, and saw that there were people splashing in the water under the wooden corridor, Cheng Yuguan didn't say a word, and immediately jumped into the water to save people.
