After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

The Flower Cake Banquet hadn't started yet, Princess Lu said about Chen Xiuyan, and she got a certain counterattack from the other party. Of course, it was impossible to make a fuss before the palace banquet officially started.

It would be fine if it was before, but the Princess Changshou next to Chen Xiuyan was staring at her. If Princess Lu could win King Lu, King Jin would have offended him long ago, but King Taiping, the emperor's uncle, still can't tear his face, Chen Xiuyan The relationship with Princess Changshou has to make Lu Wangfu a little bit jealous, after all, it's only been a long time since the Wei family's affairs.

Madam Gaoming arrived one after another, and the seats in the hall were almost filled. It was two quarters of an hour before noon, and the father-in-law began to announce loudly, "The empress dowager is here, the queen is here, the noble concubine is here, the virtuous concubine is here... The princess is here, the second concubine is here, the third concubine is here..."

All the people in the hall stood up, lowered their heads slightly, and waited for a series of nobles to pass by, and walked to the seats above the steps, and then they walked to the middle, and knelt down in order, "The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, the Empress Dowager Chitose..."

Fortunately, you only need to greet the empress dowager, empress and other high-ranking concubines, and you don't need to call a long list of names like the eunuch just now.

"Everyone get up and sit down." Queen Mother Wei spoke, and then she had to say thank you again before she could stand up and go to her seat to sit down.

At banquets in the palace, there are usually few wives looking at the person in the main seat all the time. Chen Xiuyan also followed suit in a decent manner, but sometimes you can't keep a low profile if you want to.

"Which one is the concubine of Prince Jin's mansion? The Ai family has never seen it before." Queen Mother Wei asked with a loving smile.

Chen Xiuyan could only get up immediately, go back to the place where she knelt down and knelt down again, "My wife greets the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is blessed and safe."

"This is the concubine of Prince Jin's mansion, raise your head." Empress Dowager Wei said with a smile.

Chen Xiuyan slowly raised her head, her eyes narrowed slightly after meeting the Empress Dowager Wei's, this was a rule and etiquette.

"Okay, good looks." The Empress Dowager Wei saw Chen Xiuyan for the first time, but she had been inquired about a long time ago, and they all said she was a good-looking person. It was true when I saw her today, "The prince of Jin is also lucky. To be able to marry such a flowery and jade-like wife, and to recognize and return to the ancestors smoothly, will be a good day from now on."

"With the protection of the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager, the country will live in peace, the people will be safe, and the world will be safe. Only when the son of the world has passed the imperial examinations can he recognize his ancestors and return to his clan smoothly. This is all thanks to the great blessings of the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager." In such an occasion, it is right to be obedient.

"He's clever." Empress Dowager Wei smiled and raised her hand to call. Chen Xiuyan was slightly puzzled for a moment, stood up, walked up the steps with a bent waist, and then knelt down again at a place a few steps away from the Queen Mother.

"Why are you so polite, child?" Queen Mother Wei scolded.

It is not surprising that there are many people who are polite, Chen Xiuyan thought to herself, if you are rude, you will be caught by the pigtails, and it is always right for you to bow yourself down.

"It stands to reason that the Ai family should have given you a meeting gift when you married the prince of Jin, but at that time you hadn't recognized your ancestors and returned to the clan, and there were several princes and princes nearby, so it's not easy to leave you behind. This is a reward from the Ai family Yes, it is for you to make up for."

After the Empress Dowager Wei finished speaking, the eunuch behind her brought up a tray with a gold inlaid jade bracelet on it. The jade bracelet, yellow red gold, transparent pure white mutton fat jade, is a priceless bracelet.

There is a red gold inlaid jade bracelet of the same style on the side, but it is just a ring, and it looks like it is for Chu Wenqian.

"Your Majesty, you can help the Ai family to bring it to him. The Ai family wishes you all to live happily ever after." The Empress Dowager Wei picked up the bracelet herself, and looked like she was about to put it on for Chen Xiuyan herself.

Chen Xiuyan could only walk a few steps forward on her knees, raised her left hand carefully, and couldn't help complaining in her heart, what the hell, in this evil feudal society, her knees are going to be bald, but she still wants to greet her with a smile. It is a valuable thing, otherwise how can I be worthy of my own efforts.

But as soon as the bracelet got close, Chen Xiuyan's eyes dimmed instantly, but she lowered her head slightly, so others couldn't see her expression clearly, they just thought she was humble and embarrassed, and it was an honor for Empress Dowager Wei to personally wear the bracelet for her.

Chen Xiuyan's wrists are fairly slender, and the cross-section of her hands is not very wide. The bracelet is worn smoothly, but the unbearable scent in her nose still makes Chen Xiuyan's heart sink. This Empress Dowager Wei is a bold smiling tiger, in front of so many people Make stumbling blocks for yourself and wear small shoes.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for the reward." Chen Xiuyan thanked softly, then took the ring given to Chu Wenqian and went down to sit in her seat.

It was impossible for him to take off this bracelet at the banquet, otherwise his head might be in danger, but the faint smell of nutmeg exuded by this bracelet made Chen Xiuyan feel helpless.

Of course, the smell was secondary, Chen Xiuyan was afraid that the bracelet was soaked in medicine, and wearing it would have a significant effect, and the smell of the medicine was not very effective.

Chen Xiuyan looked at the bracelet, and could only take out the plastic wrap from the space under the cover of the sleeve, and wrapped it around her hands in circles, so that the bracelet could not directly touch the skin, even if the sleeve was turned up occasionally, the plastic wrap was made of transparent material It is not easy to be found.

Just as Chen Xiuyan finished her little tricks and wrapped up the plastic wrap, someone called her again. She looked up and saw that it was the Empress.

No matter how upset Chen Xiuyan was, she could only stand up. Fortunately, the queen is not put on airs. After Chen Xiuyan said hello, she was given a reward, which was the supplementary reward given by the queen mother. Yes, and then Chen Xiuyan returned to her seat with a full harvest, her mood was smooth, and her knees were nothing if she had money.

"Today, the imperial dining room has prepared ten flower cakes and wines made from various flowers. Everyone can taste them slowly, and let the palace servants serve you any cakes you like." Empress Dowager Wei gave an order, and the palace servants filed in, each serving a table. Cakes and drinks were served.

Chen Xiuyan follows the crowd, and the big guys take it when they are ready to eat. She has a look at the cakes and there is nothing wrong with them, so she should taste them carefully. The craftsmanship of the imperial dining room is very good. No pastries, they are delicious hot or cold.

Chen Xiuyan purposely held the pastry with her left hand, which was wearing the bracelet bestowed by the Empress Dowager, and she inadvertently revealed it. The speed was fast but enough for people to see, but she couldn't see the plastic wrap clearly, so that the people in the main seat could feel at ease.

Empress Dowager Wei really saw it, and covered her mocking mouth with a wine glass. She was born in the countryside and couldn't go to the lobby, and her eyelids are shallow, but that's okay, and it's easy to deal with.
