Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 91 Banquet
King Jin peeled the orange and handed it to Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning didn't refuse, and took it. She likes to eat this orange.

"My lord, can I get this orange seedling?" Jiang Changning asked.

She had already eaten all the oranges in the house.

King Jin laughed, "My good princess, don't you remember the story of Nanju Beizhi?"

"I know, but I still want to try it, just in case something comes out."

"Someone has tried it, but it didn't work out."

Hearing this, Jiang Changning could only give up the idea of ​​planting trees.

Seeing that Jiang Changning was a little frustrated, King Jin comforted her softly, "Have someone buy two hilltops in the south, plant them specially, and transport them to Beijing in winter."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Changning smiled openly.

Seeing her happy look, King Jin felt that he would be willing to buy two oranges grown on the top of the mountain, or let him climb the ladder to pick stars.

At this time, the sound of whipping came from outside the hall, which meant that the emperor and others had come, and the hall was quiet, and everyone returned to their positions immediately.

"The emperor is here, the empress dowager is here, the empress is here, the imperial concubine is here, the concubine is here, and the eldest prince is here." The voice of the servant came from the entrance of the hall.

"Welcome Your Majesty, Welcome the Empress Dowager, Welcome the Empress, Welcome the Noble Concubine, Welcome the Shu Concubine, Welcome the First Prince."

Amid everyone's respectful welcome, the emperor and the others entered the palace, went up the jade steps, and sat down on the throne.

The emperor is in the center, the queen mother is on the left, the queen is on the right, and the imperial concubine and concubine Shu are sitting on the left side of the queen with the eldest prince.

"Everyone is flat, and I will give you a seat." The emperor's eyes fell on Jiang Changning who was standing next to King Jin.

The dinner was so long, and there was still time, he was determined to win her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.

After taking his seat, when the emperor finished speaking the clichés, the servants slapped him three times, and the maids came in with food boxes.

Although the weather is cold, there are small charcoal stoves in the food boxes to keep the dishes warm.

"Try this big meat dish." Jin Wang put a piece of red and fresh vegetables in Jiang Changning's bowl.

"What is big meat?" Jiang Changning once ate rat meat by mistake, and was a little resistant to those weird ingredients.

"It's pork, but it's made in a special way." King Jin laughed.

Hearing that it was pork, Jiang Changning boldly ate it with confidence.

Everyone promoted cups and changed cups, listened to music and danced, and it was very lively.

After three tours of wine and five tastes of food, it's time for the noble ladies in Beijing to show their talents.

Zhao Xifang, who has married into Prince Yu's Mansion, used to always show off at dinner parties, but today she will not perform any more, because her status is different after all.

The Queen Mother asked: "Today's New Year's Eve is celebrated all over the world. I don't know if the girls from various prefectures are willing to perform for you?"

Mrs. Qiao pushed Princess Kangren, and Princess Kangren had no choice but to get up and said, "Kangren is willing to perform for everyone."

When the Queen Mother saw that it was Princess Kangren, the smile on her face deepened.

Princess Jin raised her face, obviously very unhappy.

"Kang Ren wants to perform?" Jin Wang was not unhappy, but a little surprised.

"My sister-in-law urges Kang Ren to practice the piano every day, so that she will become a blockbuster at the dinner today." Jiang Changning took a sip of soup, "Is there any problem?"

This kind of large-scale banquet, such as drug administration, is rare, so you can eat and drink with peace of mind.

"No problem, but the concubine will be angry."

"Then the prince should comfort the concubine mother, don't be angry when the Chinese New Year comes."

The court lady set up the qin in the hall, and Princess Kangren walked over, saluted the emperor, queen mother, empress, and two concubines first, and then sat down by the qin.

What she caress is "Huang Yingming", which is one of the three pieces of music for beginners who learn the piano.

It's not that Princess Kangren doesn't want to show off her skills. It's because she is young and her fingers are not long enough. She can't touch those songs that require various fingerings, and she can't show off if she wants to.

It's obviously a physiological reason, but Mrs. Qiao blamed Princess Kang Ren for being useless.

Princess Kang Ren was scolded and cried several times by her, and Jiang Changning bumped into her twice.

But even so, Mrs. Qiao did not give up letting Princess Kangren play the piano at the dinner.

Princess Kangren's fingers hooked up the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano sounded.

Yellow warbler, yellow warbler, Jinxi cluster, double bilingual, peach and apricot fireworks everywhere.Swim away with the smoke, sing and dance wildly.

"Kang Ren is very serious about learning the piano, and he caresses really well." Jiang Changning praised with a smile.

"What musical instrument is Ning Ning good at?" King Jin asked.

"I have learned qin, zither, pipa, xiao and sheng." Jiang Changning has a wide range of hobbies, and he doesn't study hard on one of them.

"Let's play a ensemble with Qin and Se in another day."

"Okay." Jiang Changning readily agreed.

On the jade steps, the emperor looked at Jiang Changning who was talking and laughing with King Jin, his eyes turned green.

Of course, not only the emperor, but also Qin Zhaoxi and Song Yirou were watching the couple.

But the former was looking at Jiang Changning, while the latter was looking at King Jin.

Princess Kangren finished stroking the song, the queen mother gave a few words of compliments politely, rewarded him with something, and let Princess Kangren step down.

The show was only selected a few months ago, and the girls who could perform at the banquet were either married or waiting to be married at home. For a while, no one came out to perform, and the scene suddenly became cold.

After waiting for a while, Zheng Mingzhu, the daughter of Princess Yi Ya, stepped forward to perform.

Zheng Mingzhu danced "Taoyao". The rhythm of this dance ranges from slow to fast, and the dancing posture is light and soft.

She dances with the rhythm, falling up and down, frowning and smiling, with a graceful and feminine beauty.

During the dance, the beautiful eyes looked forward, and the eyes flowed, extremely alluring.

Recipe, Shining.

The son is home, it is suitable for his family.

Tao Zhiyao, there is actually a lot of money.

The son is home to his family.

Tao Zhiyao, its Ye Zhenzhen.

The son is home, suitable for his family.

"Confused." King Jin said in a deep voice.

Jiang Changning was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood what he meant.

She was a good dancer, and should have learned it and practiced it, but she shouldn't be doing it on this occasion.

In the final analysis, the New Year's Eve dinner was organized to please the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

Zheng Mingzhu is the emperor's niece, she dances so charmingly, what is she trying to do?
I don't know if it was because she was afraid of being cold again, or because Zheng Mingzhu saved the situation, which made the Queen Mother feel at ease.

"Hello, Mingzhu. I remember that after the Chinese New Year, she will be Jiji. Your majesty, it's time to give your niece a title."

Following the queen mother's wishes, the emperor gave Zheng Mingzhu the title of county lord, "I will be named the lord of Xiaochang County, and Xiaochang County in Hubei Province will be a fief for you."

Princess Yi Ya never expected such a surprise, and she went out with her husband to thank her.

This canonization excited the members of the marginal royal family, and hurriedly let the girls in the family come out to perform, hoping to be appreciated by the queen mother and the emperor.

The hall became very lively. Although Jiang Changning didn't drink, he drank too much soup and was anxious and had to go to the toilet.

"My lord, I want to go out for a while." Jiang Changning said.

"I'll accompany you."

It just so happened that an old man in the uniform of a first-rank official came to ask King Jin for a drink. Jiang Changning waited for a while and found that King Jin would not be able to get away for a while, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

Jiang Changning said quickly, "My lord, I'll come back as soon as I go." She took the maid and left.

The emperor, who had been paying attention to her all the time, got up and left the table because of his inner urgency when he saw this.
