"Yeah." Ning Jia responded.

Looking at the embroidery frame, a snow-white fox was almost finished embroidering and smiled.

Fang Qi looked at the fox on the embroidery stand, then at the elm on Ning Jia's legs, and said with a smile: "The embroidery looks really similar."

Yu'er shook her snow-white tail happily.

Since then, family members of officials have entered the palace first and visited various palaces to greet them.

Although there is no need to see the princess in her palace, the daughter of the accompanying minister will also take advantage of this season to come to say hello and talk.

Jianjia Palace was not as quiet as usual, and people came one after another.

Yu'er just hid under the couch in the inner room.

Xiao Yezhu didn't come today. I don't know what happened to what I said yesterday.

When dinner time was approaching, Ning Jia was still sitting by the window looking at the blooming crabapple trees in the courtyard in a daze.

"Third princess, third princess."

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her, and Ning Jia's thoughts drifted away. When she looked back, Fang Qi was standing behind her.

"Third princess, it's time to go to the dinner party. Please help you change your clothes." Fang Qi looked at her with a smile.

"Okay." Ning Jia nodded.

"Fang Qi, let the princess wear that pink one, that one looks the best." Fang Rong said to Fang Qi.

"Which one does the third princess want to wear?" Fang Qi asked Ning Jia.

"Pink," Ning Jia said.

**********

At the Weifu palace banquet, all the ministers, their wives and children gathered in the Chongqing Palace.

It's not yet dark yet, but the palace lanterns with colorful and fine paintings are already hanging high.

The banquet tables in the palace were lined up neatly and filled with men and women in court attire, but there was no sound.

Looking at what was on the table, apart from the Poria and Lotus Cake, which is a must-have for the Weifu Festival, there were only some tofu, seasonal vegetables and some ordinary fish. There were no other rare things.

"Is Emperor Yongping really stingier than Kurihara? Is this also called a palace banquet?" Yu'er muttered inside Fangqi's body.

On weekdays, Ningjia Palace also often eats some vegetables and small porridge, but only some small meat and other rare things are not seen in a day.

Unexpectedly, today's national banquet would be like this.

Most of the concubines in the palace have already taken their seats.

Some people who complained of illness and did not come would have their seats removed.

Meng Kuang, the great general of the auxiliary state, is still engaged in the war against the wind in the north and has not come today.

His wife came with her three sons, four sons and two daughters.

Prime Minister Xiao came with his eldest son, second son, third son and one daughter.

General Dingnan Chi Wuwei came with his second son, third son and second daughter.

Other civil servants and military generals also came with their families.

The royal families, princes, and princesses are also in their respective places.

Taoist Master Tianxuan and his two disciples are sitting in the first place on the right hand side.

After a while, Emperor Yongping arrived, and all the ministers stood up to pay homage. They knelt down and saluted, and the sound was like the roar of mountains.

"Everyone loves you Pingsheng." Emperor Yongping sat on the Panlong chair, raised his right hand lightly and said to everyone sitting down.

Everyone stood up and sat down.

Meng Hanzhen wears the moon crown he won yesterday.

Emperor Yongping said: "Captain Meng won the crown of the moon yesterday. He is both wise and brave. In time, he will be a general respected by all the people in Huanyue."

Meng Hanzhen knelt down and said: "I only wish to be loyal to the country, share the emperor's worries, and solve the problems of the people."

Emperor Yongping nodded in approval and gave Yuzhu three glasses of wine.

Meng Hanzhen accepted the thanks and was very satisfied.

Emperor Yongping then said to the ladies and gentlemen who were present: "Today is the Weifu Festival. I would like to thank you all for the time being. Let's talk about our family affairs. You don't have to be restrained."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." No one dared to be less polite.

Chang Fu took half a step forward and shouted: "Give me a fan."

Then more than a dozen chamberlains took out trays with exquisite palace fans piled on them. They walked among the crowd, each holding a fan, and distributed them one by one.

"What is this doing?" Yu'er asked curiously.

"This is an ancient custom in the Huanyue Kingdom. Every year during the Weifu Festival, palace fans are given to the royal family," Fang Qi said.

"Why do you want to give me a fan?" Yu'er asked.

"May is the 'poison month'. The summer is scorching, the heat is uncomfortable, mosquitoes are infested, and miasma and poisonous haze are rampant. The emperor gave fans fans to dispel the heat, pray for blessings, receive good luck, and avoid evil and provide disaster relief." Fang Qi said.

"It's just you humans who have so many rules." Yu'er smiled.

"If you don't like to see it, you can leave. Who wants you to see it?" Fangrong pouted at Fangqi from the side.

"You want me to leave, but I won't." Yu'er reached out and patted Fang Rong on the head.

"Don't make trouble, this is not a place for fun." Fang Qi said nervously.

Yu'er glanced at Taoist Priest Tianxuan who was sitting upright and restrained himself.

Fangrong glared at Fangqi and controlled her mouth.

After the palace fans were rewarded, the monarch and his ministers stood up together, raised their wine glasses, and prayed for blessings.

Yu'er yawned inside Fangqi.

The banquet was finally held.

However, there doesn't seem to be anything delicious.

"Third Princess, do you think it tastes good?" Yu'er whispered to Ning Jia.

But Ning Jia didn't answer.

"You don't think it tastes good either, right?" Yu'er said.

Ning Jia still didn't say anything.

Yu'er turned her head to look at her, only to realize that she was looking straight at the same place.

Following her gaze, Yu'er found a handsome face.

Chi Lin was sitting on the side of General Chi Wuwei of Dingnan. His left arm seemed to be injured, with a white cloth strip tied around it. Even from a distance, some traces of blood could be seen.

It seems that the injury was caused by Mu Yunhui yesterday.

"It's just my injured arm. It's okay." Yu'er said to Ningjia.

Ning Jia looked sideways at her, nodded lightly, and said nothing.

Looking at the other people, they were all eating quietly.

Emperor Yongping chatted with everyone about ordinary things and did not talk about government affairs.

Except for those who were talking to Emperor Yongping, no other noise was heard.

Therefore, although there were many concubines and ministers in the palace, there was no noise.

"General Chi, do your knees still hurt recently?" Emperor Yongping asked Chi Wuwei.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The weather has been fine and warm recently, which is quite good." Chi Wuwei replied.

"General Chi not only helped Huanyue secure the border, but also raised a brave man for me, Huanyue." Emperor Yongping looked at Chi Lin and said with a smile, "Chief Lieutenant Chi's skills at Mu Yunhui yesterday were also extraordinary. In the future, he will definitely be able to succeed Chi."

The power of a general."

Chi Lin also has an older brother, Chi Lie, who is currently worshiping General Qing Zhonglang. He is currently guarding the border at Chi Yue, so he has not arrived today.

"Your Majesty is ridiculous. Chi Lin is still young and needs more experience." Chi Wuwei said.

"How old is Chi Lin?" Emperor Yongping asked.

"Nineteen long." Chi Lin stood up and replied with his hands in his hands.

"Nineteen, you are indeed young and promising." Emperor Yongping nodded.

"I don't dare." Chi Lin said.

"Your Majesty." A silver-haired old lady stood up and bowed to Emperor Yongping.

"Who is this?" Yu'er asked.

"It's Mrs. Anguo," Fangqi said.

Mrs. Anguo was the late emperor's concubine and the biological mother of the current emperor's uncle Yin Muchen.
