The legendary princess of Yunxi

Chapter 34 The Year-End Palace Banquet

Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river, is a fair lady and a gentleman.Facing a gentle, independent, smart and wise woman like Chu Qingge, how many men in the world can control her?Emperor Tianhui's heart has long been occupied by the concubine Qing, but all the concubines in the hall can only see the concubine Qing.

"See Your Majesty!" Everyone in the hall bowed to salute.

"Get up!" Turning his gaze away from Concubine Qing, Emperor Tianhui walked up to Long Feiye and said, "Fourth brother, you are such an interesting concubine!"

Long Feiye replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Yuqing doesn't know the rules, I hope Brother Huang will forgive me!"

"Fourth brother, we are all in the same family, so why be so polite! I saw that it was still early, so I personally came here to ask my mother to move. The ministers are almost here. Mother, we should go to the Palace of Chengqian!"

The Empress Dowager nodded approvingly, and everyone quickly saluted and retreated one after another, waiting outside Renshou Palace.

Yuqing followed Long Feiye unhurriedly, listening to the back-and-forth probing between Emperor Tianhui and Long Feiye, she said that she really didn't like Tianning Palace, and this New Year's Eve dinner It's so tiring before eating, it's really boring.In the same row as Yuqing was the mean concubine Xiao Gui just now, and behind her was Emperor Tianhui's current favorite concubine Chu Qingge, Yuqing deliberately slowed down, walked beside Concubine Qing, and took the initiative to strike up a conversation Said: "Sister Qingfei, your skin is really good, how do you take care of it!"

"Wang Concubine is just joking, Qing Ge is just an ordinary person, he is not as young and beautiful as Wang Concubine?" Qing Concubine said with a faint smile.

"My sister is wrong. Qing'er is young and pretty at best, but my sister's charming figure and charming face really make people yearn for her!"

"Hehe, the concubine is such a funny person, Qing Ge can't beat you!"

The conversation between Yuqing and Chu Qingge fell into the ears of Emperor Tianhui and Long Feiye in front of them, and Emperor Tianhui smiled slightly and turned to Long Feiye and said, "It seems that you, the princess, are really I like Concubine Qing very much!"

"Brother Huang, you are joking. Yuqing has a childish temper. She usually likes delicious, fun, and beautiful things. For a stunning beauty like Concubine Qing, I am afraid that this girl has already missed it!" Long Feiye laughed. replied.

The tradition of the Tianning kingdom's two generations of royal families is to hold a banquet at the Chengqian Hall, but even though it is a family banquet, there will be some high-ranking ministers to participate, so there are naturally more rules.Entering Chengqian Palace, the first thing you want to see is the orderly banquet tables. The imperial table of Emperor Tianhui is located on the high platform of the main hall, which is the main seat; the first row below is the seat of Empress Dowager Tianning, which is the second seat.The rest of the seats are located on the ground platform of the main hall, and they are placed on both sides of the main hall from north to south.Yuqing followed Long Feiye to the head of the row of princes and nobles and sat down, followed by the crown prince and the second prince and other royal heirs sat down in order of age, and at the end of the table were high-ranking and important ministers in the court .Sitting opposite Long Feiye and Yuqing was Concubine Xiao, and that row of seats were all Tianning Kingdom's harem women, the two sat at a table, arranged according to rank.

After Emperor Tianhui and the Empress Dowager were seated, all the people sat in order according to the etiquette system. Emperor Tianhui first raised the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup on the table and drank the Tusu wine in the cup, and then made a speech, and then motioned to the father-in-law beside him Food and wine were served on each table in turn, and the feast of keeping the new year officially began.

The maids and eunuchs carrying the trays came in one by one, and the order of eating was also out of order.On the golden dragon banquet table of Emperor Tianhui, there are eight kinds of meals from the inside to the outside. The golden dragon plate, golden dragon bowl, and golden spoon and chopsticks contain forty dishes of cold meals, hot meals, and group meals, and two meals for wine and tea. Ten products, plus dumplings, side dishes, soup, porridge, candied fruit and other food, and then put dishes on the banquet tables of the queen mother, prince, prince, concubine and courtiers in turn, until everyone's banquet table is full .

Looking at the table full of wine and food, Long Feiye couldn't stop laughing at Yuqing's blank expression, he asked softly, "What's wrong? But are you hungry?"

Yuqing shook her head and said, "No, I just think it's a waste to eat so many dishes!"

"Don't think about what you have and what you don't have, eat whatever you want, and be careful to return home hungry later, and tell Concubine Mu and Mingxiang to watch the joke!" Long Feiye whispered in Yuqing's ear.

In Chengqian Hall, everyone toasted, talked and laughed, and the sound of singing and dancing was endless. There was a relaxed and happy New Year's festive feeling, but everyone knew in their hearts how many undercurrents were turbulent under this peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.

Ignoring the thoughts of the people present, and ignoring the probing gazes of Emperor Tianhui and others, Long Feiye's eyes were only filled with the little girl beside him who was smiling happily and eating contentedly.Perhaps because of the food and her taste, the little girl's mouth was full of greasy food, Long Feiye had no choice but to help her wipe the corners of her lips, and then got a grateful smile from her.Xiao Yuqing's bright and bright smile and Long Feiye's loving eyes made Emperor Tianhui feel very uncomfortable. He squinted his eyes with a smile on his face, scanned everyone in the hall, and then seemed to think of something , with a slight smile, but no matter how you look at it, that smile is a bit cunning and conspiratorial.

"Queen Mother, take a look, our family's always proud and self-reliant King Qin can take care of people!" Emperor Tianhui's cold tone resounded throughout the hall, overwhelming the conversation and the sound of vocal music.

Following the emperor's voice, everyone looked at King Qin's table, and saw Long Feiye gently adding food to the princess's bowl beside him. The queen mother looked over, but her smile froze, and she continued with a smile "Yeah, the Ai family didn't expect that the fourth child's temperament would be subdued by Yuqing in the end."

Xu Shicai felt the gazes of everyone staring at her. Yuqing raised her head in bewilderment and saw that everyone in the hall was looking at their table. She couldn't help but looked at Long Feiye next to her in doubt, but Long Feiye didn't feel embarrassed , but picked up a chopsticks of food for Yuqing, and watched her eat again, and then said unhurriedly: "I didn't think about it, but in the end, I still have to thank the emperor and the queen for their matchmaking!"

Long Feiye's neither soft nor hard, neither arrogant nor impatient tone made the empress dowager very upset. At this time, Emperor Tianhui glanced at Lin Yi at the end of the table and said, "Fourth, why don't you take advantage of today's New Year's Eve During the festive season, how about I bestow another beautiful woman for you? I heard that Taifu Lin’s granddaughter has admired you for a long time, and this Princess Qin is still young and pure-minded, so your family needs a housekeeper!”

When Yuqing heard this, the coldness in her eyes disappeared for a moment, and she continued to pretend to be unknown and enjoy Long Feiye's feeding.I saw a little girl at the end of the table shyly raising her head and looking timidly at Long Feiye, the affection and admiration in her eyes could be felt even by Yuqing who didn't look up.

Seeing that Long Feiye didn't respond, Emperor Tianhui asked again with a smile: "What do you think, fourth brother?"

Long Feiye looked at the girl beside him with a smile, and replied helplessly, "Brother Huang, I'm already in a hurry to take care of this princess, so how dare I accept another one?"

Emperor Tianhui was slightly taken aback, never expecting that Long Feiye would mercilessly reject him in front of everyone, and even refute Taifu Lin's face, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became awkward, Yuqing was resented by Xi Wei Uncomfortable looking at her, she tugged Long Feiye's sleeve innocently and said, "Big brother, I want to eat that hibiscus shrimp!" When they looked at Long Feiye again, they saw the stern man giving a doting smile, then took the plate of hibiscus shrimps by the table, and peeled off the oily shells of the shrimps with their own hands. Put them all into the bowls and dishes of Qin Wangfei, that gentle look is no different from the usual cold-faced prince.

Emperor Tianhui continued unwillingly: "You also said that Princess Qin needs to be taken care of. If you are busy with court affairs in the future, you also need someone to take care of Princess Qin, right?"

This time Long Feiye was not in a hurry to object, he pondered for a moment and then asked the little girl beside him who was eating well, "Qing'er, do you need a maid to serve you?" Completely stunned, Emperor Tianhui stuck in his throat, unable to get up or down.Lin Taifu in the hall even put on an old face, and Lin Feifei who was sitting beside him looked at Long Feiye with red eyes and mourning, as if she was the poor wife who was abandoned by Long Feiye.

After hearing Long Feiye's words, Yuqing raised her head in doubt and said, "Well, Qing'er has no private money, so she can't afford to support extra maids!"

"You don't need money, I just ask if you need another person to serve you?" Long Feiye replied with a smile.

"That's okay, Qing'er has a maidservant, so she doesn't need a newcomer!" This time Xiao Yuqing simply refused, and the couple seemed to be not discussing whether the King of Qin would accept the side concubine, but really gossip Same.
