Reborn Amalgamation

Chapter 42 Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet

Ever since watching Longevity together in the Empress Dowager's Palace that day, the Eldest Princess found that Jing Ya seemed to care more about herself than before.

She is always accommodating herself in everything, if you ask her, she will only answer His Highness to be satisfied.

Although the eldest princess didn't know why Jingya had such a change, she was very useful, especially when Jingya's eyes were all on her and didn't give it to others, it was the most comfortable time.

Yu Qiong has been to the palace once or twice, and every time she sees the eldest princess's elegant expression, her heart is full of waves.

But she couldn't say it so clearly, so she could only ask around the corner, "Your Highness, are you paying too much attention to Miss Jing?"

After listening to the eldest princess, she felt that Yu Qiong's question was extremely unreasonable: "She is mine now, so what's wrong with me paying more attention to her? Besides, with her temperament, if she touches her Most of the things that are not too much are tolerated, and if she tolerates it, others will think she is easy to bully."

"But she is mine now, how can I let her be bullied by others?"

Yu Qiong stopped asking, she thought silently: Yes, the eldest princess does protect her shortcomings, but isn't this short-term protection too much?I have never seen the eldest princess care so much about anyone before...

But these words can no longer be said.

Only Xuechan, as heartless as ever, didn't feel that there was anything wrong between the eldest princess and Jingya.It made Yu Qiong want to say that there was no one to find, so he could only be bored in his heart, and he couldn't get bored, so he tried to find a way to torment Xuechan and find a way for himself to resolve it.

Xuechan was so tormented that she couldn't help it. In a fit of anger, she reported it to the eldest princess and went directly to Jiazhou to watch King Jin's tail.

August [-]th is the death day of the First Empress Dowager.

But now His Majesty is not from the Empress Dowager, and the day is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the Emperor and Empress only sent someone to give the Eldest Princess some things to show her comfort, and they didn't even take a formality.

But it has been like this for many years, and the eldest princess didn't say anything, and after thanking the emperor and queen, it was over.

August [-]th, Mid-Autumn Festival reunion day.

Lingyun Pavilion gave the students a two-day vacation as usual, and allowed each of them to go home to enjoy the moon festival. On the third day, the palace school will resume after everyone returns.

Everyone was overjoyed, feeling that these two days of vacation might not be enough.Only Jing Ya wants to give these two days away.

She had a quarrel with her mother last time, if she went back, it would be embarrassing for them to meet.But outsiders don't know what happened to them last time. If she doesn't go back, I'm afraid she will let people down again, and then spread some gossip about the family discord, so that those who disagree with her father's political views will be This is an excuse to criticize it.

Knowing that she was in a dilemma, the eldest princess said, "It's okay. I'll come back after dinner with your father in the evening. I'll ask Yu Qiong to pick you up. Don't worry."

Jing Ya hesitated: "But the curfew..."

"Isn't it a holiday tonight? The curfew has been postponed for an hour," said the Eldest Princess, "Just go and return with peace of mind. In short, everything is mine."

Jing Ya then nodded and said: "Okay, then I will thank Your Highness first."

"Thank you, let's go, and go back early." The eldest princess paused for a while, and then added, "Just don't get hurt again this time. If you have something, call someone. Suffering silently."

Jing Ya pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded and said: "Yes, Your Highness, I will go back first."

The eldest princess waved her hand, motioning for her to leave on her own.

Jing Ya wants to go home to have a reunion dinner that is unrealistic, and the eldest princess has to attend a hypocritical Hehuan Palace banquet tonight.

……

Before the palace banquet started, the sound of silk and bamboo had already started playing.

The eldest princess arrived not too early or too late, wearing a dark red formal attire, slightly embellished with gold and jade, and less makeup. Although it was simpler, it was still glamorous and extravagant.

Princess Qingyang and her third brother arrived early, and when they saw the eldest princess coming in, they got up first and came over to salute the eldest princess.

Princess Qingyang said: "Auntie, Elder Sister Yiyang came just now, but she sat for a while, and for some reason, she left again. When she left, she didn't look good, but I looked as if she was angry."

The eldest princess smiled and said: "But Qingyang, did you make her angry because you provoked her?"

Princess Qingyang quickly defended herself and said: "No way! I obviously didn't have time to say a word to sister Yiyang, she left by herself, how could my aunt presume that I provoked her ah?"

The eldest princess smiled and asked back: "Oh? Is it because I blamed you, Qingyang?"

Just as the Lord Qingyang was about to answer these words, he was preempted by the son of Prince Zhennan who came from behind.Chen Chen said: "Could it be that you provoked Princess Yiyang? Why, now my son still wants to shirk that it's the eldest princess who blamed you? Qingyang, you can't do it like this."

After saying this, Chen Chen also walked up to him, instead of looking at Qingyang, he went to salute the Eldest Princess first, and shouted respectfully: "Hello, Eldest Princess."

Although Qingyang was angry, he couldn't get angry at this moment, so he dragged her third brother and turned away, leaving Chen Chen with a back.

The eldest princess nodded slightly, she accepted the gift, and said with a smile: "Why is your son late tonight?"

"It's late?" Chen Chen glanced in the direction directly ahead, saw that the table was still empty, smiled, and said: "Your Majesty and the Empress are still in the future, so it's not too late, Your Highness Don't try to fool me."

But just as he finished speaking, he heard someone laughing and saying: "If you are late, you are late. Why are you afraid that someone else is bluffing you?"

"But are you afraid of being fined and drunk?"

Everyone turned around quickly when they heard the sound, and seeing the emperor supported by the empress and Princess Yiyang, they all bowed and saluted, and shouted: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, he waved his hands with a smile, and said in an easy-going way: "Get up quickly, today is a family banquet, you don't need to be formal, just treat yourself at home."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty..."

Everyone responded in unison again, then got up and stood up straight and returned to their seats, instead of gathering in groups of twos and twos to gossip.

As soon as the emperor and empress arrived, the palace banquet began.

The silk and bamboo played non-stop, and singing and dancing were also performed along with the sound.However, all the songs and dances in the palace are customized, and the songs and dances are just the same. Even if it is said to be renovated, it will not be new, and it will always be the same.

After the eldest princess made a toast to the emperor and queen, she sat back on her desk, swung the wine glass slightly, and watched the singing and dancing in front of her eyes, but her mind was no longer here.

It was only a few days before the death day of the Empress Dowager, and she was not in such a good mood to enjoy it here.But there is no way, the matter of face must be done.

I don't know what happened to the little mouse at home...

The eldest princess drank the glass of wine while thinking about it, and the palace servants behind her quickly picked up the jug and refilled the eldest princess's wine glass.

The princess stretched out her hand to hold the wine glass, but she didn't lift it up, she just slowly stroked the rim of the glass.

Over there, Chen Chen, Princess Qingyang and others toasted the emperor and empress, but they didn't go back. Instead, they came together to toast the eldest princess.

This is the etiquette that the juniors respect the elders, and it should be complete.

Although the eldest princess is not very old, her seniority is always there - so when these people come to respect her, even if the emperor and queen don't like her, they can't make mistakes, so they can only let it go.

The eldest princess suppressed her emotions, accepted the gifts one by one with a smile, and then raised her glasses to them, and the younger ones drank the wine in their glasses together, and it was considered that the etiquette was complete.

After the toast this time, the princess's table was empty, and another person came over.

The eldest princess raised her eyes to look at the person blocking her light, and when she saw clearly, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, she suppressed her emotions and said in an amiable manner: "It's Yi Yang, why are you here? "

Princess Yiyang also put away the spikes all over her body, held the cup tightly, with a smile that couldn't have been stiffer, raised her hand dryly, and said with difficulty: "Gu... aunt... Yi Yang, Yi Yang comes to respect you!" you……"

"Oh?" The eldest princess didn't go to serve the wine glass, but looked at Princess Yiyang with a half smile, and said, "I have the honor to have Yiyang come to toast a glass of wine? It's never been done before, or Yiyang Have you changed your temper today?"

Princess Yiyang forced a smile back: "Auntie was joking... As a junior, Yi Yang should be like this..."

The eldest princess didn't respond to Princess Yiyang's words, so she just looked at Princess Yiyang with a genuine smile.

Princess Yiyang felt uncomfortable being looked at by the Eldest Princess, but she was repeatedly admonished by the Emperor and Empress, no matter what today, she had to toast this glass of wine, and let the Eldest Princess accept it.

Therefore, Princess Yiyang bit her lower lip, raised her hand, and moved the wine cup in her hand forward. With great difficulty, she smiled and said, "Auntie, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Yiyang is toasting you. All the past... I hope Aunt Haihan can forgive Yi Yang."

The eldest princess withdrew her gaze, tapped on the table, and said slowly: "Don't talk about the success, don't complain about the success, the past - don't blame..."

"Forget it, since it's Yi Yang who came to tell me this in person, then I'll just do what I said in the past—forget about the past."

After finishing speaking, the eldest princess went to pick up the wine cup, held it up and gestured slightly to Yi Yang, then raised her head and drank the whole glass of wine.

Princess Yiyang saw that the eldest princess was like this, so she did the same thing - unfortunately she was not yet proficient, she only got a glass of sake in her throat, and she was still choked up to the point of coughing up tears, but she couldn't stop it, it was hot and painful .

After the eldest princess handed her a square handkerchief, she only supported her elbows and stared at Princess Yiyang as if she was watching a show.

Princess Yiyang coughed so much that she didn't even bother to look at the eldest princess, she just covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed, the more she coughed, the more she couldn't even speak, so she just nodded to the eldest princess as a salute, and then she backed away. left.

The eldest princess rubbed her fingertips lightly, feeling more and more bored.

If only her little mouse was here, it must be much more fun than these people...

The eldest princess stood there, fiddling with the empty wine cup in her hand with a carefree expression.

If you look at it at first glance, it looks like you are drunk, but if you look more carefully, you can find that the eldest princess's eyes are still clear, without the slightest hint of drunkenness.

The Eldest Princess fell silent, but other places were still bustling.

The sound of silk and bamboo music grew louder, and the singing and dancing changed round after round. Just as the palace banquet was in full swing, there was a sudden commotion. First, there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, followed by someone's Shouts.

"Your Majesty has fainted!! Come on! Your Majesty, he has fainted!——"
