Chapter 28 Entering the Palace

In August, the autumn is clear and the weather is cool, and most academies also have New Year holidays. The governments also take advantage of this free time to hold banquets in various names. Because there are three candidates, the Yan family canceled this year's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace was not cancelled. The only ones who could enter the Yan family were able to enter the palace were Yan Taifu, the old lady Yan, the Si Ye and the Princess of Nanping. Among them, Yan Si Ye was still benefited from Princess Nanping, and the husband was noble by his wife.

Although it was a night banquet, it was about to enter the palace before the beginning. When the Grand Tutor Yan and others left, the San Ye and Mrs. Yan returned to their yard. Mrs. Yan complained: "I only take the twelve girls every year. Are the San Yetou and the other ones the granddaughters of the Grandpa? I am so biased."

Yan Zhi said calmly: "There are many noble people in the palace. If they collide, they will cause big trouble. I don't want to enter this palace."

"The third girl is right, that palace is not a good place." Master Yan San is a person who is not too ambitious and has no idea of ​​clinging to the dragon and seizing the phoenix. You must know that the prince's father-in-law is not so easy to be.

Mrs. Yan San glared at the father and daughter in anger, two unscrupulous things; Yan Xiang lowered his head, his eyes dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It takes three quarters of an hour to get from Yan Mansion to the palace. When you arrive at the palace gate, you cannot go in immediately. You have to go through a check. It takes another quarter of an hour to come. After entering the palace gate, the eunuch who led the way came to salute. Jade did not need to be ordered by Princess Nanping, so he stuffed a purse to the eunuch.

The Grand Tutor Yan exchanged glances with his wife, touched his granddaughter's head, and then went to Chengming Palace with Master Yan Si to meet the sage. Mrs. Yan and Princess Nanping went to Jiaofang Hall to meet Empress Yu, and the eunuch led them to Jiaofang Hall soon. Many foreign concubines gathered in the main hall, gathering together in groups of three and whispering to each other.

Princess Nanping glanced over and did not find her mother, Princess Rong, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and knew that Empress Yu had summoned them to the apse. Being summoned by the queen was an honor for the foreign destiny. The queen's attitude also indirectly represented the meaning of the emperor. Only those who win the favor can get the favor of the queen.

"I have met Mrs. Yan, Princess Nanping, and Miss Yan." A woman in her thirties dressed in a blue palace outfit came to salute.

"I dare not take it." Old Mrs. Yan sideways and avoided her gift. Princess Nanping and Yan Huo are the same. This woman in the palace dress is not as high as Mrs. Yan and Princess Nanping, but she is the female official next to the Empress, and everyone wants to give her a face.

The woman in the palace dress smiled and said, "The Empress wants to meet the old lady, princess and lady. Please follow me to the back hall."

"I'm lucky, my aunt leads the way." Mrs. Yan smiled.

Many noble ladies in the hall showed envious eyes. Just now, this palace maid invited Princess Rong, Princess Rong and Princess Dongning County to in.

In the back hall, not only these three people were there, but also Concubine De Baili, Crown Princess Shen, Princess Wang, Duke Huaien’s wife Wang, Princess Jiang, Princess Heyi Princess, and Princess Heyi, the third and fourth ladies Yu Zhenzhen and the fourth ladies Yu Qingqing.

"Xiaoxiao." Princess Heyi rushed over happily.

"Don't go..." Yan Huo reached out to block it in fear, but it could be blocked there. She took three steps in a row and almost fell to the ground by her. Seeing this, Princess Qin twitched, and her daughter could not gain weight anymore. A hint of heartache flashed in Princess Rong's eyes. Her precious granddaughter had a weak body, but she could not withstand such collisions as Princess Heyi.

"Heyi was looking forward to Xiaoxiao entering the palace. I have been waiting for several days. I will meet today. Look, how enthusiastic." The Queen tried hard to help her granddaughter win over her respect.

"They have always had a good relationship." Princess Nanping smiled.

Princess Qin smiled and said, "Heyi said that she wants to be a good sister who will love each other for the rest of her life."

"Very good." Empress Yu was also happy to see the Qin Prince's Mansion and the Yan family.

When the adults said what they said, Princess Heyi took Yan Huo to play with the two Miss Yu. The three girls were talking about the flower viewing banquet a few days ago in Princess Rushun's mansion. Princess Rushun held a flower viewing banquet, which was actually for her eldest daughter, Wenhe County Junjun. The Princess Wenhe County Jun is known as the number one talented girl in Yanjing, and is good at everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At the banquet that day, the Princess Wenhe County Junshi once again shined.

"Is that osmanthus crystal cake really that delicious?" Princess Heyi was not interested in the chrysanthemum poem that was praised by the people. The foodie's attention is different from others.

"It's really delicious. Unlike the osmanthus cake we usually eat, it's not the white one, it's crystal clear, like crystal, and exudes a strong osmanthus fragrance. You can also see clusters of osmanthus flowers on it." Yu Qingqing swallowed, "It's sweet but not greasy, and it feels melted in your mouth, making people want to eat it after eating it."

"It's better than the pastries from Indica Ji?" Princess Heyi asked.

"It's delicious." Yu Qingqing replied affirmatively.

Princess Heyi tsk her mouth, "I would have known how to do it."

"You can eat it when you go to Princess Rushun's Mansion." Yan Huo gave a suggestion.

Princess Heyi laughed, "Xiaoxiao, you go for a big meal with me."

"I won't go." Yan Huo shook his head. Princess Rushun is the daughter of Prince Kang. He has loved to part with Princess Nanping since he was a child. Later, Princess Rushun fell in love with Princess Yan, but Princess Yan has a special liking for Princess Nanping. Princess Yan got married with Princess Nanping, and Princess Rushun also married someone else. They should have had their own peace, but Princess Nanping gave birth to three sons in a row, but Princess Rushun had only three daughters. Princess Rushun was very jealous of Princess Nanping. The two families had no contact with each other. When they met at banquets in other families, they would sneer at each other. Yan Huo could not go to Princess Rushun's Mansion to be a guest.

After staying in the back hall of Jiaofang Hall for about a quarter of an hour, Queen Yu smiled and said, "It's getting late. I won't leave you for a long time. Let's go to Mingyue Palace." She also wanted to summon other foreign wives. Except for Concubine De and Crown Princess, everyone else left the back hall. The female official led Princess Xin and Crown Princess Xin, and the two princesses to the back hall. They passed by and nodded to each other as a greeting.

Mrs. Yan waited out of the Jiaofang Hall and on the way to Mingyue Palace, she met Princess Duanning and Princess Chu, and their daughters followed them. Mrs. Yan and Princess Nanping frowned involuntarily when they saw the Princess Chu. Yan Hu was looking at the King of Chenghe County Wan'er, but he didn't expect that such a gentle girl was so fierce and chasing a man, and she was really not good at being handsome.

Princess Qin's eyes flashed slightly. After greeting Princess Duanning and Princess Chu, she asked knowingly: "Where are the Second Emperor's Sister and the Second Emperor's Sister?"

Princess Duanning instantly understood the intention of Princess Qin's questioning and smiled faintly: "Shou'er said that the flowers in the garden were blooming well, so we went around the garden and picked a branch to prepare for the queen of the mother."

"Shou'er is really mean." Princess Qin glanced at the flower in Wang Shou'er's hand and curled her lips. Her purpose had been achieved. There was no need to say much, and anyone with intention understood it.

The lady following behind her eyes flashed. No matter how much Princess Duanning hides her, she can't change it. They first went to see Concubine Zhou Xian and later met Empress Yu. Although Concubine Zhou Xian is the biological mother of the King of Chu and Princess Duanning, the Empress is the princess's legitimate mother. It's okay to go to the Jiaofang Hall to pay tribute to her during this New Year holiday. However, in this way, you must first go to the Jiaofang Hall to pay tribute to the Empress. This is the rule.

If you don’t tell me this, you can ignore it, but if the Princess Qin hides and makes it clear, the actions of Princess Duanning and Princess Chu will be criticized and will have some impact on the King of Chu.

The Mid-Autumn Festival moon-watching banquet officially begins at the beginning of You hour, ends at Xu hour, and leaves the palace and returns home, which is almost the hour of Hai.
