My concubine is in trouble again

Chapter 20 Dragon Boat Palace Banquet
As you time approached, Yuan Yuan finally changed into a beautiful little dress, and took Yan Huai to set off for Qinzheng Hall before his patience was about to run out.

The officials and family members attending the banquet had almost arrived, Yan Huai took Yuan Yuan and sat down in his seat under the watchful eyes of everyone.

There are few concubines in Emperor Yan's harem, apart from Concubine Xian and her twin sons, I would like to see Concubine De and her second prince, Yanchi, and the one who has long since hidden into the Buddhist hall and is rarely seen Concubine Shu, the rest are Concubine Qi, Mrs. An and Mrs. Feng.

"Yan Shenzhi, why do you have so many younger brothers and sisters? Unlike me, I am the only one in our family." Yuan Yuan glanced at everyone in the hall boredly, and then sighed sadly.

Yan Huai didn't answer her words, but just reached out to get her a quick chestnut cake, "Try it, chestnut cake."

The best way to attract the little girl's attention is to seduce her with something delicious. He took the chestnut cake in his hand and ate it in small bites. Tsing Yi poured a cup of hot tea for the little master and put it in her hand.

Fu Chengxiang attended the palace banquet with his wife and his two daughters. The eldest daughter Fu Shiya is eleven years old this year, and the second daughter Fu Shirou is only seven years old.

"Mother, which daughter is the girl sitting in His Royal Highness? Why has she never seen her before?" Fu Shiya sat beside Fu Wu and asked softly.

Fu Wushi had carefully inquired about Yuan Yuan's identity as early as after the dragon boat race. Although he had a kind smile on his face, he had a slight disdain for Yuan Yuan's identity in his heart.

What can a young lady of the Duke's Mansion without real power compete with her outstanding daughter from a prominent family?The Fu family is bound to win the position of crown princess!
Withdrawing her scrutiny from Shang Yuanyuan, the first seat on the opposite side, Fu Wushi whispered to Fu Shiya, "That is the lady of the Duke of Zhongyong's mansion. Her parents died since she was a child, and she has been raised by the empress's side. She is just a down-and-out duke. Miss, Ya'er don't have to worry about it."

"Yes, mother." Fu Shiya carefully watched Yan Huai's intimate interaction with Yuan Yuan, jealousy flashed in her eyes, His Royal Highness is so outstanding, only she deserves to be by his side!

Fu Shirou listened to what her mother and elder sister said, and looked at Yuan Yuan curiously. Didn't her mother say that she was just a down and out princess?Why is the dress on her body so much prettier than the one on her body!

"Mother, the dress on her is so beautiful! I want it too!" Fu Shirou begged Fu Wushi, pointing to the light green gauze skirt on Yuanyuan's body.

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it happened to fall into Yan Huai's ears. Looking up, seeing Fu Shiya's shy expression, Yan Huai's eyes quickly flashed a hint of disgust.

"Good boy, when I get home, my sister will give you that water-pink flowing gauze dress, okay?" Fearing that Fu Shirou would attract Yan Huai's attention again, Fu Shiya could only coax her first.

"Okay, my sister keeps her word." After Fu Shirou got what she wanted, she stopped making trouble.

After a while, following Eunuch Hu's screaming announcement, the empress appeared in the hall under the bow of everyone.

After Emperor Yan supported Empress Wen to sit down, he waved his sleeves and said to the people below, "Everyone is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress." Everyone got up and sat down one after another, all looking at Emperor Yan, waiting quietly for Emperor Yan to speak.

"Today, my Great Yan is in a prosperous age. The government is well-organized and the people are harmonious. The things are rich and the people are healthy. The rivers are clear and the sea is beautiful. The four seas are full of guests. I will gather with you on the Dragon Boat Festival. I will race dragon boats, eat rice dumplings, and watch songs and dances. I hope that you will not be restrained and work together. Let's celebrate the festive season together." Emperor Yan said eloquently, then raised his jade cup and motioned for everyone to raise their glasses and drink together.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Everyone bowed to Emperor Yan again to thank him, and then raised their wine glasses to drink with Emperor Yan.

After Emperor Yan finished speaking, he and Empress Wen looked at each other affectionately and smiled, stretched out their hands in the direction of the original wish and said, "Xinxin, come to Uncle Your Majesty."

Everyone was puzzled by Emperor Yan's intentions, and all turned their eyes to Yuan Yuan who was sitting next to Yan Huai.

Seeing her uncle calling her, the little girl quickly put down the grilled chicken wings in her hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped it twice, and happily walked towards Emperor Yan.

Without a trace of fear, he just stepped up the steps and went straight to the Dragon Seat.

"I sincerely wish your majesty's uncle and aunt a good health at the Dragon Boat Festival." Yuan Yuan obediently said auspicious words to the empress, and those bright and clear eyes looked straight at the two, obviously asking for praise.

Empress Wen touched the two little tweets on her head knowingly, and she opened her mouth to praise, "Our Xinxin is so beautiful today, Auntie has someone prepare your favorite food, you can eat more later, you know?" ?”

"Okay~" Yuan Yuan nodded with a satisfied face, and then was held by Queen Wen and walked to the side of the dragon seat.

"Today, taking advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival, I want to announce a happy event to all the ministers."

"The girl next to this palace is the only daughter of Duke Zhongyong's mansion. She was raised by this palace. When she was three years old, this palace and His Majesty betrothed her to the crown prince. Now this palace wants to formally present her to the prince." All the lords introduced her identity as the prospective concubine of Yan Huai, the Crown Prince of Great Yan, and I wished."

Empress Wen's solemn statement made Fu Chengxiang's family immediately blackened, and everyone in the palace looked unbelievable. How could a little milk baby be made a princess?Isn't this a joke?
How could Emperor Yan tolerate Queen Wen being left out in the cold without waiting for everyone to respond, and immediately asked displeasedly, "What? Don't you all understand what the Queen said?"

Everyone bowed to the empress as if waking up from a dream, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Empress, Congratulations to His Royal Highness, Congratulations to Duke Zhongyong."

"Okay, all you gentlemen, let's get together for the festive season today, I hope you can have fun with Your Majesty." Empress Wen replied gently as if nothing had happened.

"I obey the decree, thank you, Madam." All the ministers knelt down and thanked you three or four times, and finally they could start enjoying the food.

As the singing and dancing come on stage, the delicacies are also served on the table, such as Buddha jumping over the wall, squirrel mandarin fish, Kung Pao chicken, Wensi tofu, crispy roast duck, Dongpo pork, Longjing shrimp, Yangzhou lion head, boiled cabbage, soft eel fish.

Originally wishing that those eyes were directly glued to the delicious food, the saliva couldn't stop flooding.

Oh my God!Why are there so many delicious foods!Hurry up!You have to eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold!
I don't want Tsing Yi to accompany me, I would like to pick up the unskilled chopsticks and try to pick up the shrimp crookedly, but the shrimp is as slippery as a sperm, it has been like this for several times, the little girl is anxious to get started Grasp.

Yan Huai pressed her bold little hand, picked up the chopsticks and put the Longjing shrimp on her plate, and asked in a warm voice, "What else do you want?"

"Well, I want big duck legs! Meaty meat! Big meatballs! Fish!" Yuan Yuan pointed with his little finger and ordered all the dishes on the table.

Yan Huai frowned and saw that she hadn't swallowed what was in her mouth, and began to want to stuff something else, reprimanded with a cold face, "Pick it after eating."

"Oh." Yuan Yuan was not afraid of his cold face, and finished eating the shrimps on the plate in two or three strokes, and then looked at him helplessly, as if waiting to be fed.
