Chapter 120 VII The Noisy Palace Banquet

When Yinhu's leg injury is almost healed, the New Year will come as promised.Wanning was wrapped in a brocade and woolen cloak and sat on the sedan chair, following the Fucha family towards the Changchun Palace.Tonight's palace banquet was held for the first time after the emperor recovered from a serious illness, and it coincided with the auspicious day of New Year's Eve, so it was naturally much more lively than usual.A few red lanterns were also hung on the palace road outside the Changchun Palace, which became redder and brighter against the backdrop of the snow all over the sky.

"This is the Sangege of Yinhu's family, come and ask Bengong to have a look." It's rare to see Concubine Hui coming to Changchun Palace. Wanning and Fucha hurriedly saluted Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang, and they were just called From then on, she heard Concubine Hui say.

Sangege's nickname is Tana, which means "pearl". This name was chosen by Fucha and Yinhu together.Because Sangege is already two years old, today the Fucha family also brought her into the palace to show to Concubine Liang.Hearing Concubine Hui's words, Fucha motioned for the nursing mother holding San Gege to put her down, and took San Gege's hand to bring her to Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang, and greeted her respectfully.

"It looks like a cute elf, somewhat similar to Yinhu when he was a child." Concubine Hui stared at San Gege for a long time with a smile on her face, then turned her head and said to Concubine Liang.

"The eyes look a bit like the outline." Concubine Liang was just an aristocrat when she gave birth to Yinhu. Looking for traces of Yinhu's childhood.She looked at San Gege, her eyes were a little blank, and she said lightly after a long while, and asked Zhang Momo to fetch a silver longevity lock and put it on San Gege, "This longevity lock was enshrined in front of the Buddha. , can bless you to grow up safely."

San Gege was a little dazed, but at the reminder of Mrs. Fu Cha, she obediently thanked Concubine Liang, and returned to her seat to play with the longevity lock.Fucha's family was relieved, after all, Sangege was only adopted by her, if she cried in front of Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang, I'm afraid it would upset the two empresses, but fortunately, her performance was not bad. good.

"Did Yinhu take a few children to the emperor's place?" Concubine Hui asked.

"Exactly, I heard that the emperor wants to study Hongwang's homework today." Mrs. Fu Cha replied.

Speaking of this, Wanning felt a little strange, the princes and grandchildren were naturally accompanying the emperor, but the Fujins and side Fujins from all the prefectures would come to the harem, why didn't Concubine Hui wait for the female relatives of the direct prince's family in the Zhongcui Palace, but came here instead What about Changchun Palace?She had heard that Concubine Hui didn't like Prince Edward Fujin, but she didn't expect to even meet her in person.Apparently the Fucha family also thought of this, so they changed the subject and talked about Hongwang's marriage to Gege from Wulianghan's family after the year.

"When Hongwang marries Di Fujin, it's time to enter the court to receive an errand." Concubine Hui sighed, "Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye Yinhu's children are all married to their wives."

"Isn't it? It's been another year in a blink of an eye." Concubine Liang said casually, "I heard that the fourteenth son will also come tonight?"

"It seems that the concubine saw the chariots of the fourteenth siblings at the palace gate just now." Mrs. Fu Cha replied, "It seems that I went to Ningshou Palace."

"It should be, after all, the Wu Ya family is gone." Concubine Hui helped the hollowed-out flying phoenix Jin Buyao on the bun, "It's getting late, and I should go back." The court lady Qingdai got up and left.

Wanning and Qingdai exchanged a look, and quickly looked away.

"Concubine Hui was here just now, so I didn't say anything," Concubine Liang said after Madam Zhang took Hu Tuli, Er Gege, and San Gege to the greenhouse for snacks, "There will be envoys from the Bahrain Department at the palace banquet tonight." Attend."

When mentioning the Bahrain department, Wanning thought of Hutuli's marriage.Earlier, when Yinhu was not injured, she had heard that the emperor intended to marry Hutuli to the Bahrain Ministry to win over people's hearts. Now there are still envoys from the Bahrain Ministry. Could it be that they came here to marry the clan daughter?

The Fucha family has also heard about this, but to be honest, she is not very interested in whether Hutuli married into Mongolia or stayed in the capital. After all, when she married Yinhu as the successor of Fujin, Hutuli was already Growing up, she was not close to her. Although Hu Tuli was polite and thoughtful on weekdays, she could still feel Hu Tuli's alienation from her.That being the case, she simply did not express her opinion on this matter.

"Don't worry too much. If the emperor didn't make a decree for a day, it means that there is still room for discussion." Concubine Liang pointed out, "The emperor is very concerned about Yinhu's injury, just wait."

"Yes." Wanning replied, secretly wondering if the emperor felt guilty because of Yinhu's injury, and cherished the relationship with her children even more.But thinking about it, it seems unlikely.Marriage with Mongolia was the national policy of the Qing Dynasty. Even though the princesses who married Mongolia rarely lived long, the Qing Dynasty did not marry the princesses one by one.The emperor didn't even care much about his daughter's life after marriage, so why would he care about his granddaughter?But since Concubine Liang said that there is still room for change, it means that the emperor has shaken his previous thoughts, which is also a good thing.

Concubine Liang is dressed up in a rare costume today. She is wearing a bright satin flag dress sprinkled with poppies in water red and covered with an orange-yellow wishful-pattern waistcoat. There are also two pairs of coral turquoise bead flowers on the hairpin.The face carefully outlined with makeup looks glamorous and moving, without any trace of time, no wonder it fascinated the current Holy Majesty back then.

"Why did you come so late?" Mrs. Guarjia pulled Wanning and said when she just sat down.

"I was talking with the empress in the Changchun Palace, and said that I almost forgot the time because of my excitement." Wanning looked around and saw the different faces of the people, so she looked back and said, "You also know that my grandfather has been injured during this period of time." I haven't been able to go out either, maybe it's been a long time since I brought a few children into the palace to pay my respects to my mother, so naturally I will spend more time with my mother when I come back." As soon as the words finished, I saw Prince Zhifujin Wu Yashi and Nalashi His complexion is different.After thinking about it, Wan Ning understood that Concubine Hui spent a long time in Changchun Palace, presumably the female family members of Prince Zhi’s family were also left out in Zhongcui Palace for a long time. Hearing Wanning say that she has a close relationship with Concubine Liang , They are definitely not feeling well.

Mrs. Guerjia also heard about what happened in Zhongcui Palace today, she smiled and turned the subject, and asked Shu Shujue Luo, "I heard that your family Hongchun was ill, but now he is all right ?”

"It's healed. Fortunately, it's not the current epidemic. The imperial doctor said that there will be no serious problems in the future." Shu Shujue Luo Shi was wearing a lavender cloak with folded branches and plum patterns, and a pair of red silver gilt jasper stones were attached to his hair. The hairpin looks a little elegant.She squeezed the handkerchief and smiled, but there was a bit of frustration in her smile.This time, Hongchun and Hongming fell ill at the same time, so she and the Wanyan family both ate melons, which made it easier for Shufu to advance to the Yiergenjueluo family, so that she won the favor of her own master, and even the Yiergenjueluo family's His son Hong Ying also fell into the eyes of the master.

"It's fine, the child is weak, you need to take care of it more, you mother-in-law." Tian Jiashi interjected abruptly, "You have been married to the fourteenth son for so many years, and you are still like a black-eyed chicken today. Fighting against the concubine Fu Jin, tomorrow fighting against the concubine Fu Jin, I don't think that my son is the guarantee for the future."

Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi's face darkened instantly, and the atmosphere that had finally become lively became cold again.Wanning was a little puzzled, why did Tian Jiashi teach anyone who caught her as if she had eaten firecrackers today? Could it be that she got angry with Concubine Rong?She pulled Lagualja's sleeve and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are drunk before the banquet. Come, we will take you out for a walk to wake up." She gave Shisan Baylor's side Fujin a wink, indicating that she would comfort Shu Shujue Luo Shi later.

Tian Jiashi was taken to the back by Wanning and Guarjia. Before they could ask any questions, Tian Jiashi lowered his eyes and tears fell like broken beads.

"This New Year's Eve is a good day, why are you crying?" Guarjia quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Tian Jia's tears, "It's strange to say, why are you so angry today, you bite anyone you see Who, didn't you see how ugly Fujin's face is on the fourteenth side?"

"I didn't do it on purpose," Tian Jiashi choked while pinching the handkerchief, "Today Fujin and I got angry with Concubine Rong, and I feel very uncomfortable."

"Why would the good Concubine Rong reprimand you?" Wanning asked.

"The empress said that my father's heirs were not rich because Fujin didn't take good care of him. I said a few good things for Fujin, and the empress blamed me too, and said that in this year's draft, we would point out another side to our father. Fujin." Tian Jiashi bit her lower lip, "I ask myself that I have kept my duty for so many years after I married my master, and I have been very respectful to my empress. I did not expect to receive such accusations today."

Wanning and Guarjia looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.Prince Cheng's family is still not rich in heirs?Calculated, Prince Cheng has seven sons and four daughters. Although there are only three elder brothers and two Gege standing now, there is still a concubine Li Shi who is waiting to give birth in the mansion.It is said that she is pregnant with an older brother, and Li's body is healthy, giving birth to a healthy child is definitely not a problem.

"Concubine Rong just cares about Prince Cheng, so don't take it to heart." Mrs. Guarjia said, "Go wash your face and reapply your makeup. Don't let anyone see you cry, lest people chew your tongue."

Tian Jiashi sniffed and nodded slightly.

Accompanied Tian Jiashi to relax in the back hall, and the three of them returned to their seats when the redness and swelling of the eye sockets almost disappeared.Finding a moment when no one was paying attention, Tian Jia walked up to Shu Shujue Luo and apologized in a low voice, and the matter was finally revealed.Wanning and Guarjia looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after they sat down again, the emperor arrived with his brothers and grandsons.The previous banquet was rewarded to the princes and ministers, and now is the real family banquet.Perhaps because the family banquet can be more relaxed, the emperor and all the princes and grandsons changed the auspicious clothes into regular clothes. Wanning paid special attention to it, and found that Prince Yong's attire today was a little more plain than the others, and thought that he was far away from Wuya. It has only been three months since Shi died of illness, and he knew what was going on in his heart.But Fourteen Beizi didn't pay attention to this aspect, and I don't know if Wanyan's neglected it, or there were other reasons.

"I look at the fourteenth beige, why does it look like he is using wine to relieve his sorrow?" Mrs. Guarjia pinched the veil to cover her mouth, and whispered to Wanning, "Although the wine at the palace banquet is not very strong, but Even if he drinks too much, he will get on top. Isn't he afraid of causing trouble in front of the emperor again?"

"Thirteen Baylor is by his side, so he should be fine." Wanning replied in a low voice, "He had thought about it behind closed doors at home before, and he should know how to restrain himself after thinking about it." But even though he said so, Wanning was also uncertain.If the fourteenth son really knew his mistakes and could correct them, he wouldn't be the fourteenth son who went wild.

Sure enough, the palace banquet was only halfway through, and the fourteenth beile "lived up to everyone's expectations" and played a drunken maniac. He not only poured wine on the thirteenth beile, but also wanted to go past the other brothers and reach out to grab Prince Yong's collar. Baylor quickly suppressed him with sharp eyes and hands, but the commotion had already been noticed by the emperor above, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly cooled down.The only good thing is that the Empress Dowager was tired and went back to Ningshou Palace early, otherwise she would be angry again if she saw it.

"Yinzhen, what are you doing?" The emperor put down the wine glass in his hand and asked in a cold voice.

"What are you doing?" The fourteenth belch hiccupped and said with a smile, "My son is toasting the fourth brother. My son also wants to ask him if he finally feels relieved that his mother is gone."

"Nonsense!" The emperor slapped the table with a "slap", "Look at what you look like now, you don't obey the rules and respect your brother, where are all the lessons and etiquette you have learned over the years! My Ama?"

"Then why do you have me as a son in your eyes!" The frustration of the past few years finally had a channel to vent, and the fourteenth son suddenly stood up and said loudly, "I have been blamed so often these years, so what if I was sealed as a son? In the eyes of others, I am nothing but a person who has achieved nothing! You once said that I am your proudest son, and that I will definitely achieve a great career in the future. Now it seems like a joke! Do you think they are all loyal to you? He pointed at the other brothers with a swipe of his finger, "I see, the crown prince and the boss are eager for you to abdicate as soon as possible!"

These words were already disrespectful, and everyone present couldn't sit still, and fell to their knees in an instant.Everyone held their breath, for fear of making a little noise and being angered by the emperor.Wanning secretly took a look at Shu Shujue Luo Shi, only to see that her face was pale, and she must have known the consequences of the emperor's anger.

The emperor was obviously very angry. The several serious illnesses he suffered last year had weakened his body a lot, and as he got older, his body was no longer as strong as before.The words of the fourteenth son just hit the doubts in his heart. The prince is now in his prime and is supported by all the officials; but he is old and gray-haired.His gaze swept to the crown prince who was kneeling at the front. The crown prince lowered his head at this moment, and he couldn't see the expression on the crown prince's face at all.

"Come on," Kangxi said in an extremely cold voice, with his heart completely given up on this son, "press the old fourteen down and put him under confinement in Beizi's mansion. He is not allowed to enter or leave without my will."

Prince Yong moved his lips and was about to ask for love, but Yinhu grabbed his sleeve.

"Let's go." Kangxi waved his hands wearily, "Let's all go back."

Everyone didn't dare to say much, and after watching Kangxi get up and drive back to Qianqing Palace, they dispersed separately.It's just that Wan Yan and Shu Shu feel that Luo's side has no one to talk to. After this battle, everyone knows that the fourteenth son has completely lost his heart.

"emperor!"

There was a sudden noise from the dragon chariot ahead and Li Dequan's frightened voice, everyone looked at each other and walked up quickly.I saw the emperor lying on the sedan chair with his body half crooked, his eyes closed, as if he had lost consciousness.The prince made a decisive decision, and at the same time ordered people to send the emperor back to the Qianqing Palace, and at the same time sent people to call all the people from the Imperial Hospital, lest the truth be told.The queen mother who had not yet gone to bed heard the news, and the whole palace was filled with a tense and dignified atmosphere. No one knew why the emperor fainted, nor what the emperor's condition was. Chengqian Palace anxiously waited for the news.In order not to let the wind leak out, those who attended the palace banquet tonight had to stay in the palace until the emperor woke up.

Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night.
