In front of the monument, the military attache dismounted, and the civilian official dismounted. Even the emperor's dragon chariot is no exception. Since it was built, the big ding in front of the monument has been incense.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the people who came to offer incense and sacrifice lined up in a long line, and even the old emperor who had been in his old age also came to offer incense with the support of his grandson.

When the generals of the previous dynasty saw this scene, they all sighed with emotion and burst into tears. Even the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gate were in a surging mood.

If one day, they die in battle, the loyal souls will return here and be worshiped by all the peoples!

The days went by, and soon it was the end of the year.

This is the first time that the Jiang family has spent the New Year in the capital for so many years after being knighted. It's a pity that the rest of the family members are far away in Qingzhou and can't come to the reunion, which is a bit regrettable.

On the morning of the thirtieth day, Emperor Xia Jing presided over the sacrifice of the Taimiao Temple and the Monument to the Heroes. In the afternoon, a palace banquet will be held in the palace according to the custom, and the civil and military officials and other family members will be entertained.

Jiang Yuqing was not very interested in this kind of banquet, but it was the first time for the Lu family to participate in such a large-scale palace banquet, so it was inevitable that he was a little nervous.

The palace banquet is set in the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, which is also the place where Bactria receives foreign envoys. The banquet began at 2 o'clock in the hour and was divided into male and female seats.

At the beginning of Shen, the Jiang family arrived. Jiang Wenyuan took his son and nephew to the men's side, and Lu sat with his daughter on the women's side.

The Lu family is from the first-rank duchess, and Jiang Yuqing is from the first-rank county lord, in terms of grade alone, the status of the mother and daughter is equal.

Therefore, they sat very close to the royal ranks, only a few columns behind the princesses, all in the first row.

The Lu family used to live in Suzhou for a long time, and although they had heard of the wives of the noble mansions in Beijing, except for the wife Li of Pingyang Hou Qin Jue, and the wife of Gong Yun of Zhenguo, the others were very angry.

These two are all ladies from famous families, and they are very familiar with the housewives of various families in Beijing. Several families were already good friends, and they were ordered by their own husbands, and they appropriately helped the Duchess Jiang Guo at the banquet.

Therefore, before the banquet was held, the two took the Lu family to chat with the ladies next to them, and they had a very good chat.

The Lu family was originally a Duchess of Yipin, and her husband not only had the title of Duke of the country from three generations, but also a book of books, a proper and powerful figure.

The son is the son of the Guogong Mansion, and the daughter is even more powerful, not only a famous little miracle doctor, but also the first county lord since the founding of Great Xia.

The husband loves much, the backyard is clean, and the life is happy. All in all, the Lu family has become the ceiling in the hearts of the ladies in Beijing, and no one does not envy her! It's just that the Lu family has been in the capital for a short time, and even if everyone has the heart to make friends, they can't find a way.

The opportunity in front of them was sent to the door, and the ladies naturally did not let it go, and the chat was so hot.

Not only that, when the ladies praised the Lu family, they didn't forget to bring Jiang Yuqing, and they praised it in a variety of ways, and Jiang Yuqing, who boasted that he was thicker than the city wall, was also a little unbearable.

When the ladies had finished praising her, they did not forget to bring out their daughters to befriend her.

The girls got together to talk about nothing more than appreciating the head of the jewelry, what kind of jade is your bracelet, how much money was spent on the order, and which famous master was invited to customize.

What kind of material is her hairpin, what gems are inlaid with it, and what kind of craftsmanship is used. Which kind of lipstick are you applying today, the color is so beautiful, and what kind of incense is used?

Later, he praised her again, how beautiful the materials on her body were, how rare and exquisite the jewelry was, and which famous teacher's masterpiece.

Jiang Yuqing looked blank throughout the whole process, saying that he couldn't interject at all.

Her time is either used to farm, or to study medicine, or to cultivate, how can there be that Laoshi Zi Kung Fu to study this.

The county lord of Tubaozi decided to let himself go, and found an excuse to sneak out of the hall. I'd rather find a corner at random and blow the northwest than go in and be a diorama.

It's so uncomfortable!

After sitting by Hua Pu for a while, she saw a team of palace maids and eunuchs holding trays from a distance, walking through the corridor and starting to serve food to the palace, and she thought that she should go back.

Suddenly, a palace maid who walked at the end of the road stumbled her foot and neck, and the palace maid screamed in pain, so she almost didn't spill the dish.

She endured the pain and stepped aside, put the tray down, and covered her feet and neck with a painful face, thinking that she was twisting it very badly.

For professional reasons, Jiang Yuqing was just about to step forward to ask if he needed help, when he saw a little eunuch turn out next to him. She thought she was here to help, but the little eunuch quickly stepped forward and hit the back of the little palace maid's head, and the little palace maid fell to the ground in response.

“....... ! "What kind of luck is this? It's just a matter of breathing, and you can actually bump into the murder scene.

Jiang Yuqing immediately pasted an invisibility talisman on her body, she wanted to see what this guy wanted to do when he sneaked into the palace?

That's it, the little eunuch glanced around, and actually dragged the little palace maid straight to Jiang Yuqing and threw it down. Probably because it's secluded enough to be remote enough.

The corners of Jiang Yuqing's mouth twitched, if it was in her previous life, she would have to buy a hundred yuan lottery tickets. At this moment, she could only bend down and probe the little palace maid's snort, but fortunately she was just dizzy, and she was fine.

Jiang Yuqing added a protective cover to the poor little palace maid, don't be infected with the wind chill on a cold day.

The little eunuch picked up the tray again and walked to the Liangyi Palace, but he didn't poison the dishes during the whole process. It seems that he just wants to sneak into the palace banquet.

But no matter what the reason, the person who does this at this time will not be a good person.

Jiang Yuqing tore the invisibility talisman on his body, summoned a Praetorian Guard, and whispered a few words to him. The Praetorian Guard was startled at first, and then walked away quietly.

Jiang Yuqing doesn't have to worry about the rest. There are many cattle in the palace, and she is not bad for soy sauce.

With this done, she clapped her hands and got up and went back to the hall. As soon as I sat down, I heard the eunuch singing: "Your Majesty has arrived, the queen has arrived, the prince has arrived, and the second prince ......has arrived."

Jiang Yuqing knelt on the ground, listening and counting while complaining. There are five or six good guys, and this is still famous, and then counting those who have no name and no share and those in the cold palace, I am afraid that five tables of mahjong can be made.

The emperor or something, it's really the biggest stallion in the world! I'm not afraid of grinding an iron pestle into a needle!

After everyone was seated, the emperor began to give a routine speech, to the effect that everyone had worked hard this year, what major events had happened this year, what great developments had been made in the country, who had not done a good job, and who needed to continue to work hard, and who had done a good job, and who needed to be praised.

Then the reward for meritorious deeds. After the reward, the donkeys were given a carrot in front of them and told them to continue their efforts next year.

To put it bluntly, it is no different from the annual meeting of the company in later generations, and this is what the president did when he was in a military hospital in his previous life. Change the soup without changing the medicine!

Jiang Yuqing dozed off when he heard this, and it was easy to wait for the emperor to finish chattering, announce that the banquet could be held, and then the singing and dancing came up.

When the emperor and queen moved the chopsticks, Jiang Yuqing also removed the dish cover in front of him, and when he saw it, the special dishes were all cold.

Although it was cold, the plating was still very delicate and beautiful. Jiang Yuqing did not dislike it, watched singing and dancing while eating, and applauded the actors when he saw the highlights.

Lu was afraid that her daughter would have a bad stomach, so she asked her to eat less. Jiang Yuqing didn't care and said, "It's okay, mother." In the past, when I was fighting, I gnawed all the wild vegetables, but this is a royal meal, it is delicious, and it is not wasted. ”

Although her voice was not loud, the mother and daughter were close to the head, and Queen Qin, who had been paying attention to her, still heard it.

beckoned the grandmother beside him and said, "Go and get two plates of hot dishes for Linghui, you go in person, be quick." The lady took the order, and soon came back with a food box, and took out a few hot plates and put them on the table of the mother and daughter, and a cup of sweet milk stewed with almonds.

Jiang Yuqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Mama, and then at Empress Qin. Empress Qin nodded at her and said with a smile: "Eat!" Eat as much as you like! ”

Jiang Yuqing then showed a big smile: "Xie Niangniang!" And then we went on. Such a special treatment really aroused the envy and jealousy of many nobles, Jiang Yuqing just didn't see it, and he should eat and drink.

Although Jing Yan was sitting a little far away from her, she also paid attention to it from time to time, and when she saw that she was eating happily, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips.

The young man is like jade, the gentleman is square, and he is already eye-catching. It's just that the identity is still so noble, and it provokes the girls in the hall, and their hearts are overwhelmed.

After the dancers went down, the ladies of all the families who had been prepared appeared on the stage, playing singing and dancing instrumental music in turn, and tried their best to make a good name.

If you are favored by the emperor or the crown prince because of this, and you are given a suitable name, you will have no worries for the rest of your life.

The emperor and queen smiled silently, the hearts present were tacit, and Jing Yan's face was expressionless. Only Jiang Yuqing has no heart and no lungs, don't look happy.

Look at this face, this waist, this charm, it was also a high level in her previous life, and it was still a live version of the free performance, which couldn't be better.

After the banquet, Jiang Yuqing went home with a well-fed little belly.

After the emperor held a family banquet, he went to the Jiaofang Palace with his son to observe the New Year.

The father and son talked about a few games, Emperor Xia Jing held the black, and Jing Yan held the white.

Halfway through, the emperor asked his son: "You will be seventeen after the New Year, and it is time to choose a concubine." Do you like any of these ladies tonight? ”

Jing Yanmu said with a face: "No! ”

The emperor said with a toothache on his face: "Don't you really plan to wait for that little girl to grow up!" It will be at least six years before she grows up!

I only have two sons, and as the crown prince, you have to shoulder the responsibility of giving the royal family. The crown princess can not stand first, and other people such as Liangdi and Liangyuan can still be accepted first. ”

Jing Yan pinched the white son, and said without raising his head: "There are so many women in your harem, and I haven't seen a few more princes in this palace." The men of the Jiang family have only one wife, but the family has a group of children and grandchildren. It can be seen that the matter of passing on the family and spreading the branches and leaves has little to do with the number of women! ”

As he spoke, the white son in his hand fell, and the black son died suddenly.

Emperor: "......." (gritting his teeth) Can he stuff this unfilial son back into his mother's belly?
