35, short
Four concubines and three princesses sat in Cining Palace for a while before being dismissed by Empress Dowager Hui'an.
Empress Dowager Hui'an got up from the seat with her fat daughter, and at the same time ordered Madam Biyun beside her: "When Concubine Rong and the others go to Concubine De's place, you can ask the people from the Instrument Bureau to go to Fu'an Palace." They didn't have breakfast before they came to pay their respects. They must go back to the palace to nourish their energy first, and then go to "good" to comfort Concubine De, and the corners of their mouths bent slightly, "Be sure to let everyone know how much Ai's family takes care of Concubine De."
Madam Biyun responded happily: "Yes."
Ji Zishan, who had been a melon-eating crowd for a long time, gently smashed her mouth twice. Is this happening? Is this something she didn't know? But what does it have to do with her? She is still a baby who only knows how to eat, drink, play and sleep. Well, if the big golden legs brother came here today, hehe, as long as he dared to pinch her beautiful face, she would pull his pants legs to take revenge. Well, it was such a pleasant decision.
Time is easy to pass, but in just a few days, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
The ancient rules of the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty were that during festivals, state banquets would be set up to enjoy with their ministers.
Last year, due to the national mourning period, all large banquets were exempted, but this year was not necessary. The state banquet was divided into two places. His Majesty Ji Ziqing would host court officials in the previous dynasty, while Empress Dowager Hui'an and Empress Dong were entertaining imperial edicts in the harem. The state banquet time was usually set during the day. Looking at Empress Dowager Hui'an who was looking in front of the mirror, Ji Zishan stretched out her fleshy claws to touch the luxurious patterns on her mother's body: "Mom, play--"
Empress Dog Hui'an looked at the little one beside her legs and smiled and sighed: "You little bean dunk, you know how to play all day long."
Ji Zishan bulged her cheeks innocently - what did she do if she didn't play with her?
After dressing properly, Empress Dowager Hui'an held Madam Biyun's hand and walked out of the inner hall gracefully.
In the main hall of Shoukang Hall, all the people who were lucky enough to attend the state banquet today have been waiting quietly here. Ji Zishan, who was held by Mama Su Rong, took a look and saw that they were all familiar faces, including Concubine Wu, Concubine Shu Dou, Concubine Rong You, Concubine Xian Tang, Concubine He, and two princess sisters. In addition, there was a little petite guest from outside the palace - Miss Wu San.
Empress Dowager Hui'an looked at the neatly dressed Miss Wu San and said in a gentle tone: "Miss San has lived in the palace for several days, how can she adapt to it?"
For some irresistible reasons, Ji Zishan could always hear some information intermittently about the trivialities in Fu'an Palace, such as Miss Wu San cried and didn't sleep at night, Concubine De was always envied by her neighbors sarcastically in the past few days, and Ji Ziming's second brother was furious in front of Miss Wu San again...
Miss Wu San is a very honest child. She said a little bit depressed: "...I'm not very adaptable."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De frowned slightly unhappy, as if she felt that this niece was a little embarrassed.
But Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled deeper and said softly: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, your grandmother and aunt are also here in the palace. You will see them later."
The only female members of the Wu family who had an imperial decree were Fu Jinhou and Fu Jinhou's wife. The second wife Liu did not have an imperial decree, so she was not qualified to come to the palace to attend the banquet.
Miss Wu San's eyes lit up and her face was filled with hope.
When she saw her grandmother, she must go home with her. Although the palace is very delicate and beautiful, her aunt has a bad temper and her cousin has a worse temper. The nanny beside her is like a fly and keeps talking about her not being allowed to do this or that. She is so annoying. She... She should not live in the palace anymore, she wants to go home.
Because Empress Dowager Hui'an wanted to take her little daughter to the banquet, to prevent her from crying and making a fuss, Empress Dowager Hui'an ordered people to take some toys that the young girl loved. The palace banquet for the female family was in Chunjing Hall. After a twists and turns, the group fell into the sedan chair in front of the Chunjing Hall. Then Empress Dowager Hui'an took the lead into the hall, waiting for the ladies in the hall to visit Empress Dowager Hui'an and Empress Dong.
After some etiquette, Empress Dowager Hui'an sat on the head, Empress Dong sat on the head, and the rest of the people also sat on the same order.
Ji Zishan, who was sitting in a toy wooden horse, carefully observed the ancient version of the state banquet. After the ceremony, Empress Dowager Hui'an gave a brief speech, and then ordered people to serve the dishes to start. In order to increase the atmosphere of the festive season, the singing girls and dancers in the palace performed to cheer them up. In this lively and festive atmosphere, Empress Dowager Hui'an and the ladies who were leaving the seat talked about family matters and interesting things, and from time to time glanced at the little daughter beside her to see if she was always happy and happy.
As for Miss Wu San, who was sitting beside Concubine De, she was watched by the audience.
After all, there were several princesses in the palace, and everyone knew it well, not to mention that the palace wassuing the imperial edict to Fu Jinhou Mansion was not a big secret.
