CHAPTER XV
The whole country was happy, the celebration banquet finally began, the five realms of the royal monarch and the officials in their respective jurisdictions, as well as Zhaoque City, the officials and dignitaries in the city all came to Zhaoque Palace to congratulate the banquet. The large and small palaces in the entire Zhaoque Palace have already entertained different officials according to the number of officials.
For example, the king and the emperor of the five realms are still feasting in the main hall of Zhaoque Palace. In the other five realms, each official's residence, banquet and drink, command, and reward are also different. Hengyong, Congheng and Lieyi have already greeted the courtiers who entered the palace in front of the palace, and it can be said that people come and go, busy with the attendants and maids in the Zhaoque Palace.
Especially Yu Chenggu, as the chief attendant in the Zhaoque Palace, has not been quiet since the day he prepared the feast, and everyone has been busy since dawn, and at this time he is even more busy with a few more hands and feet.
Early in the morning, after listening to the edict of the king on the main hall of the Zhaoque Palace, the civil and military officials returned to the dormitory to have breakfast and began to prepare for the celebration. At the beginning of the celebration ceremony, the hundred officials followed the king out of the palace to the city of Zhaoque to hold the celebration ceremony and distribute the rewards to the people in the five realms and the people in the city. Then return to the Zhaoque Palace to start the noon banquet of the hundred officials.
Congheng Shizun led a group of patrols back and forth, for fear that something would go wrong. Master Lie Yi took a group of courtiers in the palace to toast and add food, for fear that there would be something inconsiderate.
The banquet lasted for several feet, and countless delicacies and jade dew elixir. The rows of banquet tables are not visible at a glance. There are also dancers who are led by Pianruo to sing and dance in the palace, dancing and playing in the lotus pond water platform in the center of the feast. The eyes are full of beads and green dances, long sleeves fluttering, and the singing voice is delicate, and the sound is around the sky. The officials and servants in the Zhaoque Palace are beautiful, beautiful like immortals, and the singing and dancing are exquisitely beautiful. But it is rare to see her dancing, but this time the celebration is like a song of the phoenix dance, soft and beautiful, and the country and the city. For example, the king was very happy, and rewarded the dancers who served with singing and dancing.
If you dance to shock the world, lead the song and dance to serve all the maids of the palace to thank the king, go to the chief palace to receive the reward, when you come down to change clothes, you hear two little maids in the palace on the side of the quarrel. Pian Ruo heard the words about the Tong last pavilion of the princess, and walked into the palace.
But seeing that there were three or two lower-ranking officials in the palace hall, they didn't care much about the disputes in the palace, and they all stood aside and didn't speak, and when they saw Pianruo come in, everyone was busy coming over to salute, and Pianruo asked, "What's the noise?" Two maids dressed as maids came to Pianruo, and one said that the reward was unfair, and there were fewer things in the Tonglast Palace she served. The other said that it would be good to give you some in the palace, but the king didn't mention anything in your palace at all.
This celebration is a major event in the country, no one dares to be generous to one or the other, and Yu Chenggu does not have the courage to do so, if there is such an injustice, if the king knows about it, he will not tolerate it. If Pian Ruo is an official in the palace, he can naturally manage this matter, so he ordered the two of them to explain the reason in detail at that time.
One of the plain-clothed maids wiped away her tears and knelt down and said: "I am the maid of the Tong Last Pavilion, such as the king's edict, every palace maid has a reward, but this maid who distributes the reward, she gives half of the rewards to the maids in the Tong Last Pavilion than in the other palaces, so she makes a noise." Another blue-clothed maid immediately answered: "Originally, the edict of the king did not say that the reward of the maid of the Tong last pavilion, the things of the Tong last pavilion have always been sent separately by the order of the king himself, and they are never taken in the palace, and the chief attendant is willing to give you some is already an extra grace, why don't you know how to get up and retreat?"
Pian Ruo understood the reason, and knew that the chief servant Yu Chenggu would not be so confused to make such a mistake at such a time, he must have wanted to give Princess Tingyin something with good intentions, but was misunderstood by this maid of Tong Last. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand to let the blue-clothed maid get up and go out first. Then he looked at the plain-clothed maid and thought deeply.
Tong last pavilion is not an ordinary place, it is the residence of the princess Wang Zhengyin, and it is also the forbidden place of the voice. In fact, many years ago, the king and the princess were very affectionate. But one day not long after, suddenly an edict came out of the palace, saying that the sound despised the royal family, and despite the pleas of everyone in the palace, he actually imprisoned the sound in the Tong last Pavilion.
Poor Princess Tingyin, whose beauty is unparalleled, was imprisoned like this, and she couldn't take another step out of Tong Last. Although the king no longer goes to the Tong last Pavilion, all the food and clothing in the Tong last Pavilion are sent by the king himself, but it is also very rich. The reason for this is really hard to guess. Even today's National Day ceremony, the two side concubines who came out to respond to the ceremony were still Shuangxuan and Yiluo. Now the concubine of a country has not even divided the reward of the maid, how miserable.
Pian Ruo knew that Yuanhuang Niangniang liked Princess Tilting very much back then. Now that the sound has fallen into such a situation, although Pian Ruo can't help much, he also secretly sent a lot of things to Tonglast Pavilion, so when he heard this today, he thought about it, so he called his personal maid, brought all his rewards, and told the plain-clothed maid: "You take them all, you don't have to talk to the princess about the reason, just say that they are all rewarded by the king." The plain-clothed maid bowed with tears. I took my things and went back to Kiratora.
Here he felt a little nostalgic and asked, "Are all the royal monarchs still at the table?" The waiter on the side replied: "No, at this time, all the royal monarchs and Ruwang have returned to the palace to talk." Only the other officials were left at the table. Pianruo nodded, and at this time, an elderly official came to the door, and asked Pianruo if she was going to dance, Pianruo thought about it and said, "No, I'm a little tired, and the other sisters are also dancing very well, so you can dance more." "Such a celebration is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, who does not want to show their talents and get ahead. It was very fun to hear that they were going to dance.
Pian Ruo rested for a while, and suddenly thought of such a feast, such as the king will definitely not care about Tong Last, why not take this opportunity to go to Tong last Pavilion to visit the sound of the voice. With this thought, Pian Ruo couldn't sit still, and hesitated in her heart, if it was known by King Ru, but it was a serious crime, not to mention an official servant, even a maid would not have to be a maid. But when I think of the situation of the sound and the concern of Yuanhuang Niangniang. After thinking twice, he called a little maid, rewarded the little maid with a new dress, changed her makeup, and then wore the little maid's palace clothes to avoid people's eyes and ears and quietly came to the Tong Last Pavilion.
After walking through a few palaces and pavilions, then came to the place where the Tong last pavilion is located, sure enough, there are few people here in the Tong last pavilion, such a prosperous and lively celebration, but no one dares to come close to the Tong last pavilion. Fortunately, the original patrols here were all sent to inspect other palaces, and the few remaining patrols didn't care too much. Pianruo pretended to be a maid and walked to the door of Tonglast Pavilion with some bowls. The defenders checked that it was an ordinary thing, and today was the day of the celebration, and it was common for the reward to be more than usual, so they waved their hand to let Pianruo in.
