Chapter 369: The Feast

Chinese New Year's Eve's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet Yu Zheng is not the first time to participate, but he knows much more than a family of four.

"There is still half an hour before the palace banquet begins."

Half an hour is an hour, Zhou Yu heard a wail in her heart, she knew that this palace banquet was so troublesome, so she said that she couldn't come?

It's just that she just thinks about it, how can she rest assured that her mother and father will come over.

Yu Zheng is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and some well-informed people also heard that the Northwest Army was able to win a complete victory this time, and Yu Zheng was credited.

So when they saw Yu Zheng entering the main hall, many officials noticed that when they saw Yu Zheng talking to the Wang family of Anping County, they remembered that the county lord of Jiahe had a marriage contract with Yu.

Many ministers were a little hesitant with their wine glasses, should they go over or not?

The first person who came to say hello was Lord Yin Jiang of Kyoto Prefecture, he had just come in, and when he saw Zhou Yu's family, Lord Jiang came over with a wine glass without thinking about it.

The four members of the Zhou family knew Master Jiang, and they hurriedly greeted Lord Jiang with a wine glass.

On such occasions, the emperor has not yet come, and the ministers are only making appearances when they drink, and most of them are just taking a sip.

The mother and daughter put fruit wine in front of them, and the two of them can also taste it.

Master Jiang said a few words to a few people, and Ding Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, also came over, and then Zhen Guogong.

Originally, there was a family of four, but it was deserted here, but it was a lot more lively because of the addition of a few people.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, several people returned to their places and sat down.

After a while, the shrill voice of the Tai Basket came from outside the hall.

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived."

The ministers and their families got up from their chairs and came to the table and knelt respectfully.

It wasn't until a few people sat down in high positions that the emperor waved his sleeves.

"Get up."

"Your Majesty."

As soon as a few people arrived, it proved that today's palace banquet had begun.

At the beginning of the palace banquet every year, the emperor starts by saying a few words of encouragement, and this year is no exception.

The swishing words of the text made Zhou Yu yawn again and again.

The emperor is happy to say above, this year can be said to be the best year he has had in the past ten years.

In the next one or two decades, Da Zhou will no longer have any worries. And the most important thing to thank is Zhou Yu, but this matter cannot be said on the surface, so as not to send people from the Nanyang Kingdom to retaliate, and it can only be compensated to the four members of the Zhou family in another way.

Thinking of this, the emperor was talking to the people below with words of encouragement, looked at the Zhou family, and saw Zhou Yu yawning a lot.

Emperor:.......

At this time, Zhou Yu didn't know that her move was seen by the emperor, and the emperor didn't know what to say.

The ministers sitting below listened carefully to the emperor's speech.

The emperor spoke for half an hour, and the palace banquet officially began.

Soon there were dancers entering the hall, and then the sound of various musical instruments sounded in the hall, and more than a dozen dancers danced and danced in the hall.

I have been in ancient times for so long, and it is rare to have this opportunity to enjoy the ancient songs and dances, and Zhou Yu suddenly came to the spirit.

This look is that the emperor sitting above was speechless for a while, could he not speak as well as the dozen or so dancers singing and dancing below.

It was only at this time that the ministers dared to raise their wine glasses, whispered to the ministers they knew next to them, drank wine, and enjoyed the singing and dancing in the hall.

Then the dishes were served one by one, originally Zhou Yu came over today, and he still had some expectations for the dishes at the palace banquet.

But after the vegetables were piled up, the little expectation in Zhou Yu's heart was gone.

It takes at least a quarter of an hour to get from the dining room to the main hall where the guests are entertained, and the weather is cold now. When the dish arrived on the table, it was already cold and couldn't be colder, and in addition to looking good, a dish like this was really delicious and couldn't taste good.

Zhou Yu is just a dish, and he didn't touch it again after tasting the taste of chopsticks, and so did Zhou Yan.

The husband and wife have suffered before, and it is not that they have not eaten cold dishes and cold rice, and the current meals are made in the imperial dining room, which is usually cooked for the emperor and the masters of the harem.

So now I can find a good meal, I'm afraid that only the husband and wife are the two.

Zhou Yu has lived a hard life with the husband and wife for a period of time, so she naturally knows what the two of them think in their hearts, so she didn't persuade the two of them to eat, and she won't eat bad stomach anyway.

The dishes eaten by the emperor sitting at the top were all hot, except for cold dishes, there was a small stove under each dish to keep them warm.

But this kind of treatment is only available to the first emperor, and the ministers below are not available.

The palace banquet was only half a day, and Zhou Yu felt very bored, she couldn't eat wine or drink too much, and all she could eat was the snacks on the table.

But soon a plate of dim sum was eaten by her, and the palace maids who were waiting on the side were all shocked by Zhou Yu's appearance.

As a palace maid for so many years, it was the first time I saw someone come to the palace for a banquet, and she directly ate the snacks.

However, after thinking about what the masters of the Anping County Mansion had done before, it could be explained.

Although the queen mother sitting on the left side of the emperor was watching the singing and dancing in the audience most of the time, and the ministers below. However, I still took care of the emperor next to me, and seeing that the emperor had set his eyes on the Anping County Wang's family for the third time today, the queen mother snorted coldly in her heart.

I don't know what is so good about this Anping County Palace, which is worthy of the emperor's attention.

Even if Zhou Yu was bored, she knew that this was in the palace and not in her own home, so she didn't go out of the hall to go around outside when she was bored.

But when this person had three urgency, now it was cold again, and he couldn't hold back his urine when he was in a hurry, so he could only say to the Lian clan next to him and took Ye'er out of the hall.

There was a palace maid who led the way to the place where the two of them changed clothes, Zhou Yu was not familiar with the palace, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with this direction.

But when Zhou Yu reacted, it was too late, and seeing that he was getting more and more deviated, Zhou Yu knew that he was on the road today.

Even if she was in a hurry, she was not obvious, and when she was thinking about how to deal with it, before she could figure it out, the palace maid who was walking in front saw that Zhou Yu's pace was a little slower, and she had a guess in her heart.

Although there was still some distance from the agreed place, the palace maid couldn't care so much, and when she turned her head, she leaned towards Zhou Yu with one hand.
