Carnivorous Princess and Herbivore Consort

The two of them did not stop, hurriedly and slowly, and when they returned to Yaojing, it was already Mid-Autumn Festival.The two returned to the consort's mansion, took a short rest, then hurriedly changed into their dresses and went to the palace for the banquet.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor would hold a banquet in the palace for officials of the third rank and above. Each official could bring two family members. The meaning of this move is self-evident.

When the two arrived, the ministers, princes, princesses and concubines were all seated.The crown prince and the third prince Wei Muqiu were seated at the head of the emperor's dragon chair. Sui Wang Wei Musui was still in Lingzhou, and the fourth prince Wei Muke had never returned to Beijing even though he was away with the army.

At the bottom of the queen's phoenix chair were four concubines of noble virtues and virtues, and Wei Muqing was seated at the top of the younger generation because she was a concubine; At the bottom of Wei Muqing's seat, followed by Wei Mumei and Wei Muhan who has not yet reached the stage.

Ministers of civil and military affairs are lined up in order according to rank, and their seats are opposite to the seats of the emperor and empress.The seats in the entire hall form a circle, and the open space in the middle is reserved for the performance of the dance band.

Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, the two took their seats hand in hand. After a while, the emperor and the queen came slowly, and everyone stood up and saluted, waiting for the emperor and queen to read the congratulatory speech.The congratulatory speech was still the same as in previous years. Following the emperor's voice, "All lovers, please sit down", the entertainment program of the dance and music workshop that everyone was looking forward to finally began.Of course, there are also people who have no intention of singing, dancing and entertainment, and are busy toasting and forming cliques everywhere.

"When did Qing He and Shen Aiqing return to Beijing? They didn't go to the palace earlier to see Zhen and the Empress. The Empress misses you very much."

"Going back to the emperor, the son-in-law and the son-in-law just arrived in Beijing today. It's almost time to apply for the son-in-law's mansion. If you don't make some repairs, you will immediately enter the palace to accompany the father, the queen and the queen to celebrate the festival!"

"Okay, okay," the emperor stroked his beard with a smile, and asked again, "Shen Aiqing, is your father Lingtang still okay?"

"Thank you for your concern. After my brother cleared his grievances and returned home, my parents have nothing to worry about, and everything is fine."

After the emperor was polite, he turned his head to talk to the princes and ministers.

Wei Muhan, who was sitting at the bottom, got up, walked over with a cup in his hand, and said, "It's been a while since the imperial sister got married, and I, as an imperial sister, haven't congratulated her properly yet. Today coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the imperial sister will replace it with tea." Wine, I wish the royal sister and brother-in-law a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

"Thank you, Imperial Sister!" Wei Muhan didn't set up a mansion before he got married, and he kept a low profile in the palace and kept a good relationship with Wei Muqing.It wasn't until Wei Muhan married out of the palace that the two of them hadn't seen each other for many years, so they lost contact.Seeing Wei Muhan coming to toast, Wei Muqing stood up and thanked him with a smile.

A little girl walked over from Wei Muhan's seat, Wei Muhan hugged her up, and asked with a smile: "Ping'er, do you still remember what to say to the aunt and uncle?"

Ping'er blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Wei Muhan who was holding her, and then looked at Wei Muqing and Shen Dongxue who were standing opposite him, cupped her small fists, and said in a childish voice: "Ping'er wishes the emperor Aunt and uncle have been together for a hundred years."

Wei Muqing touched Ping'er's face, said with a smile: "Oh, Ping'er has grown so big in a blink of an eye, her eyebrows and eyes really resemble your mother's, she will be as beautiful as your mother's when she grows up."

"Thank you, Auntie, for your compliment."

"Hey, Ping'er is really sensible." Wei Muqing smiled and picked a finely crafted jade hairpin from his head, and handed it to Ping'er, "I came to the palace in a hurry today, so I will give this hairpin to Ping'er for the time being." .May our Pinger grow up healthy and healthy."

Wei Muhan looked at the jade hairpin and said, "No way! This gift is too expensive! How can you just give her a child as a gift from your father?"

"That's right, Ping'er is already two years old now. As an imperial aunt, I have never given the child anything seriously except for the child's full moon and one year old."

"Hey, it's not that it's inconvenient for you to be out of the palace because you're not married. Now you and I are setting up a residence outside the palace, so we often walk around," Wei Muhan smiled and pushed the hairpin back, "I'll have time in the future, the empress Sister takes Ping'er to your house to eat and drink, don't be bothered."

"Sister Huang, what's the matter, Ping'er is so cute, how could she be annoying?" Wei Muqing took the hairpin and handed it to Shen Dongxue, motioning for her to help him fix it, and stretched out his hand to pinch Ping'er's fleshy little face, "Ping'er said so?"

Ping Er nodded, very serious: "Yes."

Seeing that Ping'er is so cute, the two sisters looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Shen Dongxue stood aside, seeing Wei Muqing's love for Ping'er so much, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"I see that the two younger ones in the back also want to come over to toast, so I'll take Ping'er to toast the father, queen, mother and concubine first."

"Let's go, father and queen must also miss Ping'er very much."

As soon as Wei Muhan left, Wei Mumei brought Wei Muqi and walked over with a cup, and said in a strange way: "Imperial sister wishes Huangjie and brother-in-law a hundred years, good luck, together."

Wei Muqi is just 14 years old this year, and has a cowardly personality. She looked at Wei Mumei, and Wei Mumei glared at her. Then she quickly raised her glass and said in a low voice, "I wish my sister and brother-in-law a happy marriage for a hundred years."

"I have a heart." Wei Muqing and Shen Dongxue drank the wine, thanked them calmly, and seeing that the two had no intention of leaving, they said, "We should also toast the queen and mother for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Then the imperial sister will be with the imperial sister and brother-in-law." Wei Mumei said about the imperial sister, but kept staring at Shen Dongxue.

"Let's go." Wei Muqing was not angry at Wei Mumei's sizing up, he took Shen Dongxue's arm with one hand, and walked towards the emperor and empress with the wine glass in the other.

"On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish my father and mother good health and no worries."

"Alright, alright, the children have grown up, and the emperor is also getting old."

"Father, what did you say? Father just passed without confusion. He was upright back then." Wei Mumei spoke first, making the emperor even happier.

"Meisu and Qinghe are the same age, right?" the emperor turned his head and asked the queen with a smile.

"That's right, Meisu is only half a year younger than Qinghe." The queen answered with a smile.

"It's time to choose a son-in-law for Mei Su."

"Yes, Mei Su is also an adult, but the courtiers and concubines dare not speak nonsense about picking a son-in-law. Mei Su's son-in-law should still be the emperor and the concubine."

"I still want to serve my father and mother for a few more years in the palace."

Wei Muqing watched Wei Mumei act coquettishly with the Queen enduring boredom, and felt very relieved, and said, "Look at what the imperial sister said, she is indeed more sensible than Erchen. At that time, Erchen was only thinking about the relationship between his children, I forgot to serve my father and mother for two years, I hope my father and mother will not be angry."

"Qing He said this, you are married, and your father and your mother are happy, so how can you be angry. Mei Su is also, although you have good intentions, but girls will always marry when they grow up."

"What the father said is true. The son-in-law and the son-in-law have been on the road for several days, and they are exhausted. They want to have a toast with the emperor and go back to the mansion to rest. The father doesn't mind if the son-in-law leaves early?"

"Go, why don't you and Shen Aiqing stay in the palace tonight, so that you can get in touch with your mother tomorrow. Everyone in your palace is reserved for you."

"Thank you, father, my son will leave first."

After toasting the prince and concubine, and making an appointment for a detailed discussion tomorrow, Wei Muqing took Shen Dongxue back to Qinghe Palace where she was before her wedding.
