Chapter 51 Palace Banquet
The three of them entered the hall, and many royal relatives had already sat down. When everyone saw Xiao Jin coming in with a beauty, their eyes shot at Mei'er in one go.
The powerful circle is small, and the story of the Jin Prince's Mansion has spread among the female family members. Everyone has long been curious about this strange woman who can make this cold-faced prince so moved.
It turns out that she is a beautiful beauty who is fascinating to the whole country! As soon as Mei'er came in, the colorful concubines and noble ladies in the hall seemed to lose their color in an instant.
Mei'er, under everyone's gaze, took over Xiao Jin's seat openly.
Mei'er and Su Wan sat next to Xiao Jin, and Mei'er felt a little uncomfortable. Su Wan looked at Mei'er and smiled and said, "Sister should be a little thirsty after walking this stretch." As she said that, she picked up the white glaze teapot on the table, "Sister, pour you a cup of tea."
Mei'er said lightly: "Thank you, I'm not thirsty."
Su Wan's hand holding the teapot froze in the air, not right, not right, not right, hesitated for a moment, and quietly put the teapot back.
Everyone arrived one after another. After a long time of marching, Emperor Yongxi brought Concubine Li over. Everyone stood up and saluted the emperor.
The dragon headed by Emperor Yongxi sat down on the collapse and waved to everyone, "Let's just flat."
Everyone stood up and sat in their respective positions. Concubine Li sat at the lower left of Emperor Yongxi, smiling at the hostess, saying to everyone: "Today is a family dinner, don't be polite. I ordered people to start the osmanthus wine brewed last year. Let's drink more glasses today."
"Thank you for your kindness, Concubine Li." Everyone stood up and saluted Concubine Li respectfully.
Concubine Jing sat at the lower right head of Emperor Yongxi, covered her face with a round fan and smiled, and said to everyone: "This wine was originally made by Concubine Li for the emperor to drink. My sister's skill in making wine is very good. On weekdays, I am greedy and go ask her for a jar, but she is reluctant to give it to her. Today's family dinner is so generous, you are so lucky."
Concubine Li's face turned cold, "If you really like it, if you like it, I will send you two jars to you later, so that you can drink enough at one time."
Concubine Jing laughed and waved her hand and said, "I think I'd better forget it. My sister's wine is for useful people, so I dare not enjoy it."
Just when the storm was not clear, the two duels could no longer hold back in front of everyone, and they started to face each other.
Princess Duan Jing coughed gently and sneered at Concubine Jing, "Concubine Jing is the most refreshing person. Not to mention a jar of wine, no matter how valuable it is, you dare not want it, depending on your temperament." As she said that, she looked at Emperor Yongxi and said meaningfully, "What do you think, the emperor brother."
Everyone could see clearly that after experiencing the incident of Zhou Miaoshu, Princess Duan Jing has indeed regarded Xiao Jin as her enemy and is now standing on Concubine Li's side. Emperor Yongxi has always respected the elder sister. It is estimated that Concubine Li is definitely sure to be the queen.
Emperor Yongxi suddenly felt that one head and two big ones were big, and he coughed gently, which was a warning to several women who sang opera regardless of the occasion.
Several people were so disappointed that they had to stop the fight. Everyone was about to raise their glasses, but Princess Jingchu came late and bowed to Emperor Yongxi and said: "I have delayed my son and I hope my father will forgive me."
Emperor Yongxi favored Concubine Li, so he was naturally particularly tolerant of his daughter and replied: "No problem, sit down quickly."
When Princess Chaogui saw that her mother was so weak that she was criticized just now, how could she be willing? Before Jingchu could sit down, she pretended to be concerned and asked, "Why didn't my brother-in-law come to the banquet with the emperor?"
Everyone knew that Jingchu was not in harmony with the prince-consort. Chaogui clearly embarrassed Jingchu in front of everyone. Sure enough, Jingchu's face suddenly became cold, and she said perfunctorily: "The prince-consort has something to do today, so she can't go to the banquet with me."
"Oh? Brother-in-law is really busy. It's hard to see him when he goes back to the house banquet. Brother-in-law is busy. I see that my sister is very busy these days." As she said that, Jingchu asked meaningfully, "Sister is still busy going to the temple to pray for her father's blessings these days?"
"You—" Jingchu's face was so angry that she replied irritatedly: "My affairs are not something that my sister needs to worry about."
Seeing that Concubine Jing had just found her fault, her daughter came to bully her daughter again, she felt extremely upset, but she didn't want to disobey Emperor Yongxi. She still had a smile on her face and greeted everyone, "Since everyone is here, let's start a banquet."
The maids entered one after another, put down a plate of delicious food, and filled with fragrant wine.
The two empresses and the two princesses had just finished the moves in a tit-for-tat way. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely awkward. Although the wine and food were fragrant, everyone was afraid to move.
Mei'er got up early and was dressed up by the maid for a long time. She was so busy that she didn't use her breakfast well. Now she was so hungry that she was screaming. She looked at the wine and food on the table and swallowed her saliva, but she didn't dare to move.
Xiao Jin glanced at her and laughed secretly: I didn’t expect this girl to be on stage fright!
Xiao Jin picked up a chicken leg and handed it to her. Mei'er had been coveting the chicken leg for a long time. Xiao Jin's move was really raining in time. She took the chicken leg and looked at Xiao Jin and said with her lips: "Can you eat it?"
Xiao Jin nodded, "Eat."
Mei'er glanced at the crowd of people in the hall with big eyes and hesitated slightly, "Isn't that good?"
Xiao Jin grabbed another chicken leg and said, "Eat it, it's okay."
Anyway, he said that, and she no longer cared about it. Wasn’t he just a dinner for someone to come for dinner? Meier lowered her head and started eating in front of everyone.
When everyone saw that someone was the first to use the chopsticks, they slowly started to use it one after another, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere inside the room was extremely awkward.
"Father, I have compiled a new song in the past few days. The opera palaces in the music hall have already practiced it well. Taking advantage of today's family dinner, I want them to perform for my father and you all."
Mei'er raised her head and looked at it and it turned out to be Xiao Chu!
Emperor Yongxi showed a rare smile on his face, "Okay! Chu'er is intent."
After a while, the Linggongs slowly entered, all of them were charming cardamom girls. The sound of silk and bamboo wind music sounded, slowly rippling in the huge Chaolu Hall, diluting the indifferent atmosphere in the hall. Gradually, everyone politely chants and finally had a little sense of family banquet.
After the palace banquet, everyone dispersed and returned to the Jin Palace. Xiao Jin got off the horse and came to Mei'er's fragrant car. He called her a few times but didn't respond. He opened the curtain and saw that the guy had already fallen asleep in the car.
It’s easy to sleep when you’re full!
Xiao Jin looked at the sweet-sleeping little face, and a perfect curve appeared on the corner of his mouth. He bent down and carried her out of the car and headed towards the King of Jin Palace.
Su Wan stood there blankly, watching Xiao Jin hugging Mei'er intimately, and she could no longer hold back, and tears suddenly blurred her vision.
It was not until Xiao Jin put Mei'er on the big bed that Mei'er opened her eyes in a daze. Xiao Jin scraped the tip of her little nose and asked in a doting way: "The food in the palace is better than the one in the royal palace?"
Mei'er nodded honestly.
Xiao Jin was lying beside her and took her into her arms, "Don't worry, we will go back sooner or later. Then, let you, a little foodie, eat whatever you want."
Meier believed that he would be the final winner, so she stood up and leaned in front of him and asked, "Do you really take me as a pig?"
Xiao Jin smiled and replied, "Aren't you?"
Mei'er was about to pinch his ear when she went up. Xiao Jin quickly pulled the quilt and covered his head tightly.
The two were having fun here, and the maid came in and reported that it was Princess Chaogui who came to ask for Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin got out of bed and replied, "Let her come in."
Before the maid went out to communicate, Chaogui had already rushed in. When he saw Xiao Jin, he said anxiously: "The emperor's brother is in trouble, and the prince consort is killed!"
