This time the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet was extremely grand, and the palace that held the palace banquet was able to accommodate thousands of people at the same time, and the Danxi Hall was used to receive foreign ministers and hold state banquets several times in the previous dynasty.

The hall is luxurious and gorgeous, there are two people hugging the thick giant pillar straight into the beam on the left and one right foot in the hall, the illusion reaches the clouds, as if connecting the sky and the earth, the dragon pattern is embossed on it, shuttles between the white clouds, the dragon's mouth is angry, showing the majesty of the royal family.

Gan Qiongying and Lihua went to the banquet and found the seats corresponding to their respective identities and sat down, the male and female guests were still not on the same side, and the layout was basically the same as the layout of the guests who participated in the eldest princess of Hui'an that time.

The only difference is that the Danxi Hall is extraordinarily wide, and in the middle of the seats, there is a stage dedicated to performances and even martial arts competitions.

The emperor and the empress dowager have not yet arrived, and before Gan Qiongying and Lihua separated, he pinched his fingers under the cuffs: "If someone bullies you, tell me." ”

How could anyone bully a colt on the spot on such an occasion? Even if the horse is a businessman, he is also the royal son-in-law, and the people who bully the royal family above the royal palace are so unclear in their brains.

However, Lihua liked Gan Qiongying very much to defend him like this, nodded seriously, and quietly pinched Gan Qiongying's fingertips.

The two of them made some small movements under their sleeves that others couldn't see, and there was a sweetness in their hearts that no one else could experience.

After the two were easily separated, they sat down separately, and it was impossible for the superior to be present to open the table, so Gan Qiongying looked around the courtiers and the courtiers' families in the hall boredly.

Most of them are not recognized by Gan Qiongying at all, as long as Gan Qiongying does not recognize them, it proves that Princess Duanrong does not recognize them either, which means that this person may not often be active in Yindu.

Gan Qiongying's gaze turned around, and fixed on the body of Sima Rui, the regent who was standing at the door, dressed in a purple python robe, and had a golden dignity and jade.

At the door of the main hall, the regent and a group of palace guards were explaining something, and he himself was wearing soft armor.

He was supposed to be the guest of honor at this banquet, but at this moment he was playing the role of the chief of the guard, presiding over the arrangement of the guards, and the positions of the ministers and their families.

This job looks a bit cheap, not in line with the status of the regent, but it is actually an extremely ingenious job.

But anyone who knows a little social means, as long as he adds a few or two plausible words when arranging a seat for a courtier, he can make the other party feel that he is particularly valued.

Everyone usually goes up to the court in a large hall, but whether they are facing up or down, frequent conversations will attract people's attention.

But today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is different, this is a banquet held by the royal family, and it is logical for hundreds of officials to appear, this is really a suitable opportunity to win over the courtiers.

In particular, the regent himself did this kind of work, which was equivalent to "condescending", and every courtier who passed by him would salute respectfully and praise the regent's hard work.

It looks like he's some kind of loyal general who actively cares about the king.

In fact, in Gan Qiongying's opinion, he just wanted to find some pitiful vanity from this state of being at home in the palace.

In the end, the regent still has no confidence in his heart, after all, no matter how good he does, he dares to covet the throne, he is a chaotic minister and thief.

He wanted these courtiers to identify with him and support him, so he wanted to please each one.

As everyone knows, this method works and it works, but if there is not enough safety distance between the superior and the lower, it is like living next door between an idol and a fan, and when he takes the throne in person, he will be constrained by all the courtiers, and the trouble is endless.

And the old witch obviously intended to let the regent win over the courtiers at the banquet, and even the scale of this banquet was so grand, the name was used for the frequent floods in the coastal adjacent rivers in Zhangzhou this year, because the regent's wise decision-making was good use of people, and the construction and prevention were built in advance, and the people and farmland were not affected as in previous years.

Every year, the livelihood of the people is washed away, the destruction of homes is still a trivial matter, and the most important floods are often accompanied by plagues, which is indeed a real achievement, and the regent has indeed prevented the trouble, which is worthy of praise and recitation.

It's just that those officials on the front line who work day and night to prevent autumn floods have not been mentioned in the DPRK and China recently, and it is self-evident who they made wedding dresses for.

And that place in Zhangzhou is Kou Ningyu's lair, and Kou Ningyu is the right-hand man of the Queen Mother's old witch.

This time, the excerpt of the merit was sent to the court, and every word was to praise the regent for his wisdom and foresight, and his compassion for the people in the world.

I don't know how much moisture there is.

Such a big banquet, a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is like a longevity festival, just to promote the regent's exploits, if it weren't for the regent under 10,000 people, it would have been unsealable, and the old witch didn't know what to make a scene of hundreds of officials asking for the regent's toes to grip the ground.

In Gan Qiongying's opinion, the two of them have already narrowed the road.

But if they don't have the right name, what can they do if they don't have such crooked thoughts? Could it be said that the regent is a species left by the first emperor? The age is not right.

Gan Qiongying pursed her lips and felt bored, turned her eyes away, continued to look at the field, and soon found that Wen Xueling was sitting next to her again.

Speaking of which, Gan Qiongying hasn't seen Wen Xueling for a long time, and she can't help but look at her a few times, the heroine is the heroine, she looks better and better, and today's makeup also makes her look more white rabbit, Chu Chu is pitiful, and the flower in the center of her eyebrows is even more exquisite, but it is a little exaggerated...... Oh, I see.

Gan Qiongying found a corner of a brightly colored gauze robe under the dress.

Wen Xueling was looked at by Gan Qiongying as if she was on pins and needles, and found that her eyes were staring at the corner of her skirt, Wen Xueling immediately shrank, and the edge of the bright gauze robe was withdrawn.

Gan Qiongying raised her eyebrows.

I finally knew each other, and I reacted so much when I looked at the skirt, and I didn't want the same link with her.

And Wen Xueling is really afraid of Gan Qiongying, in the last few meetings, every time she meets Princess Duanrong, there is absolutely no good thing.

She even turned her head to Gan Qiongying's other side, obviously not even planning to say a word to Gan Qiongying.

And Gan Qiongying didn't mean to talk nonsense with Wen Xueling, and after a while, the little eunuch outside sang the news, the eldest princess of Hui'an arrived, and a group of clan relatives were also present.

Gan Qiongying immediately stood up from the table, ran to the door, and put on a smiling face to greet the eldest princess of Hui'an.

The eldest princess of Hui'an seems to be in a good state of mind, since the last birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Hui'an, Gan Qiongying has sent things to the mansion of the eldest princess of Hui'an a few times, and now that they meet again, the eldest princess of Hui'an is of course very close to Gan Qiongying.

took Gan Qiongying's hand and said to the old clansmen behind him, "How filial this child is, how intimate he is."

Those old clan relatives all look forward to the eldest princess of Hui'an, even if they usually disdain Gan Qiongying because of the reputation of Princess Duanrong, they are also smiling at the moment, mentioning that they also have a granddaughter and grandson of the same age or something, and ask Gan Qiongying to go to their house from time to time.
