In front of the monument, military officers dismounted from their horses and civilian officials dismounted from their sedan chairs.Even the emperor's dragon chariot is no exception.Since it was completed, incense has been burning in the big tripod in front of the monument.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a long queue of people who came to offer incense and sacrifices. Even the old master Yan, who was already seventy years old, came to offer incense with the support of his grandson.

Seeing this scene, the military generals of the previous dynasty were all moved with emotion and tears filled their eyes.Even the imperial guards guarding the gate of the palace were in a turbulent mood.

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

Days passed, and soon the end of the year was coming.

This was the first time the Jiang family celebrated the New Year in the capital for so many years after they were knighted.It's a pity that other family members are far away in Qingzhou and can't come to reunite, which is a bit regrettable.

On the morning of the [-]th, Emperor Xia Jing presided over the sacrifices to the Taimiao and the Hero Monument.In the afternoon, as usual, a palace banquet will be held in the palace to entertain civil and military officials and their families.

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

The palace banquet was held in Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, which was also the place where Daxia received foreign envoys.The banquet started at [-]:[-] pm and was divided into male and female guests.

At the beginning of the application, the Jiang family arrived.Jiang Wenyuan took his son and nephew to the male guest's side, while Lu and his daughter sat on the female guest's side.

The Lu family is the wife of the first rank, and Jiang Yuqing is the princess of the first rank. In terms of rank alone, the status of mother and daughter is equal.

Therefore, their seats are very close to the imperial steps, only a few rows behind the princesses, and they are all in the first row.

Mrs. Lu used to live in Suzhou for a long time, and although she had heard about the wives of noble mansions in central Beijing, except Mrs. Li, the wife of Marquis Qin Jue in Pingyang, and Mrs. Qu, Mrs. Gong Yun of Zhenguo, everyone else was familiar with them. very.

Both of these two are ladies from famous families, and they are very familiar with the headed mothers of various families in Beijing.The several families were already on good terms, and they were instructed by their own husband to help Mrs. Jiang Guogong properly at the banquet.

Therefore, before the banquet started, the two brought Mrs. Lu to chat with the ladies next to them, and they had a very good chat.

The Lu family was originally a first-class duke and wife, and her husband not only had the title of duke from the third generation, but also a minister, a person with real power.

The son is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, and the daughter is even more powerful. She is not only a well-known little genius doctor, but also the first princess since the founding of the Great Xia.

The husband is loving, the backyard is clean, and life is happy.All in all, Mrs. Lu has become the ceiling in the hearts of noble ladies in Beijing, no one does not envy her!It's just that Lu's time in the capital was short, so even if everyone wanted to make friends, they couldn't find a way.

Naturally, the ladies would not let go of the opportunity presented to them, and the chat was so lively.

Not only that, when the ladies praised the Lu family, they did not forget to bring Jiang Yuqing with them, boasting in different ways, even Jiang Yuqing, who boasted that his skin was thicker than the city wall, couldn't bear it.

After the noble ladies finished praising her, they still didn't forget to push their own daughters to make friends with her.

The girls gathered together to chat about clothes, jewelry, headgear, what kind of jade is your bracelet, how much money it cost to order, and which famous master did you hire to order it.

What kind of material is her hairpin, what kind of gems are inlaid, and what kind of craftsmanship is used.What kind of lip balm did you use today, the color is so beautiful, and what kind of incense did you use.

After that, he praised her for how beautiful the material on her body was, how rare and exquisite the jewelry was, and what famous master's masterpiece it was.

Throughout the whole process, Jiang Yuqing had a blank expression on his face, saying that he couldn't get in the conversation at all.

Her time is either spent farming, studying medical skills, or cultivating. How can she have the time to study this.

The bumpkin princess decided to let herself go, and found an excuse to sneak out of the hall.I'd rather find a corner at random and play northwest than go in and use it as a diorama.

It's so fucking uncomfortable!

Sitting next to Huapu for a while, she saw a group of court ladies and eunuchs holding trays from a distance, walking through the corridor and starting to serve food in the hall, she thought that it was time to go back.

Suddenly, a palace lady who was walking at the end sprained her ankle, and the palace lady screamed in pain, she almost didn't spill the food.

Enduring the pain, she walked to the side, put down the tray, and clutched her ankle with a pained face, presumably it was twisted badly.

Due to professional reasons, just as Jiang Yuqing was about to step forward to ask if he needed help, he saw a little eunuch turning out from the side.She thought she was here to help, but the little eunuch quickly stepped forward and slapped the little palace lady on the back of the head, and the little palace lady fell to the ground.

"...Fuck!" What kind of luck is this?But it's just a matter of coming out to take a breath, and it can actually bump into the scene of the murder.

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

That's all, the little eunuch looked around, and actually dragged the little palace lady straight to Jiang Yuqing and left him.It's probably because it's so secretive and remote.

The corner of Jiang Yuqing's mouth twitched. If it was her previous life, she would have bought a 100 yuan lottery ticket.At this moment, she could only bend down and breathe out the little maid's breath, but luckily she just fainted, she was fine.

Jiang Yuqing put a protective cover on the poor little palace lady, so as not to catch the cold in the cold weather.

The little eunuch picked up the tray again and walked towards the Liangyi Hall, without poisoning the dishes during the whole process.It seemed that he just wanted to sneak into the palace banquet.

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

Jiang Yuqing tore off the invisibility talisman on his body, summoned a guard, and whispered a few words to him.The imperial guards were shocked at first, and then walked away calmly.

There is no need for Jiang Yuqing to worry about the rest.There are a lot of talented people in the palace, and she is not bad for a soy sauce maker.

After finishing this matter, she clapped her hands and got up and went back to the hall.Not long after sitting down, the eunuch sang: "Your Majesty is here, the empress is here, the prince is here, the second prince is here..." Behind them is a series of concubines, all of whom are the emperor's concubines.

Jiang Yuqing knelt on the ground, listening and counting while complaining.There are five or six good guys, which are still famous, and if you count those who are not famous and who are in the cold palace, they can make up five tables of mahjong.

The emperor or something, he really is the biggest stallion in the world!Don't be afraid that the iron pestle will be ground into a needle!

After everyone was seated, the emperor began a routine speech, to the effect that everyone had a hard time this year, what major events happened this year, what major developments the country has made, who and who did not do well, need to continue to work hard, who and who Well done and needs praise.

Then discuss meritorious deeds and rewards.After the rewards are over, hang a carrot on the donkeys' heads and tell them to work hard next year.

To put it bluntly, it is no different from the company's annual meeting in later generations. When I was in the military hospital in my previous life, the dean did it like this.Change the soup but not the medicine!

Jiang Yuqing dozed off when he heard it, and finally waited for the emperor to finish his chatter and announce that the banquet could be held, followed by singing and dancing.

When the emperor and empress moved their chopsticks, Jiang Yuqing also took off the cover of the vegetables in front, and at first glance, the f-cking dishes were completely cold.

Although it was cold, the presentation was still very delicate and beautiful.Jiang Yuqing didn't dislike it either. He ate and watched songs and dances, and applauded the actors when he saw something exciting.

Fearing that her daughter would spoil her stomach, Lu told her to eat less.Jiang Yuqing didn't care and said: "It's okay, mother. When we were fighting in the past, we ate wild vegetables and steamed buns. This is the royal meal. It's delicious. It's a waste if you don't eat it."

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

He recruited the nanny beside him and said, "Go and get two plates of hot dishes for Linghui. Go yourself, hurry up." A hot plate was placed on the table of the mother and daughter, and there was a cup of sweet milk stewed with almonds.

Jiang Yuqing froze for a moment, glanced at Nanny, then at Queen Qin.Empress Qin nodded at her and said with a smile, "Eat it! Eat more if you like it!"

Jiang Yuqing then showed a big smile and said, "Thank you, Madam!" and continued to build.Such special treatment really made many noble ladies envious and jealous, Jiang Yuqing just pretended not to see it, and should eat and drink.

Although Jing Yan was sitting a little far away from her, he still paid attention to this place from time to time. Seeing her eating happily, the corners of his lips curled up.

A young man is like jade, a gentleman is dignified, and he is already eye-catching.However, the status is still so noble, which naturally provoked the hearts of all the girls in the hall.

After the dancers went down, all the noble ladies who had been prepared for a long time came on the stage, playing, playing, singing, dancing and instrumental music in turn. They tried their best to win a good name.

If he is favored by the empress or the prince because of this, and given a suitable title, he will have no worries for the rest of his life.

The empress smiled and said nothing, and everyone present knew it, and Jing Yan was expressionless.Only Jiang Yuqing, who is heartless, doesn't look happy.

Look at this face, this waist, this charm, she was at a high level in her previous life, and it was a free live performance, it couldn't be better.

After the banquet, Jiang Yuqing went home with a full stomach.

After the emperor held a family banquet, he and his son went to the Jiaofang Hall to watch the year.

The father and son had a hand-to-hand discussion for a few rounds, with Emperor Xia Jing playing black and Jing Yan playing white.

On the way, the emperor asked his son: "You will be seventeen after the new year, and it's time to choose a concubine. Do you like any of these noble ladies tonight?"

Jing Yan said with a dark face, "No!"

Emperor Dao said with a face full of toothache: "You really plan to wait for that little girl to grow up! It will take at least six years for her to grow up!

I only have two sons. As the prince, you must shoulder the responsibility of spreading the branches and leaves for the royal family.The crown princess can not be established first, and others such as Liangdi Liangyuan can still be accepted first. "

Jing Yan squeezed a white son, without raising his head, said: "There are so many women in your harem, and I have never seen a few more princes in this palace. However, the men in the Jiang family only have one wife, and there are children and grandchildren in the family." In groups. It can be seen that the succession of the family and the spreading of branches and leaves have nothing to do with the number of women!"

As he said that, the white piece in his hand fell, and the black piece died instantly.

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