Empress Yu Concubine Lie Wins Everyday

Chapter 229 Little Rice Cake and Eight Elder Brothers

Besides, with Shu Jin's permission, Concubine Dun was overjoyed, and started to organize the hundred-day banquet in a hurry.For a while, everyone in the harem complained. Some people thought that Concubine Dun was exceeding her authority, and some thought that Concubine Dun wanted to fight for power with the noble concubine!

On the contrary, Shu Jin, the concubine, was at ease, because the emperor was not in a hurry with the eunuchs.

Amidst the criticisms of everyone in the harem, Eighth Prince finally ushered in the Hundred Days Banquet.

At that time, the peonies in the Fuchun Palace were in full bloom—yes, Concubine Dun held the Peony Banquet and the Hundred Days Banquet together.

It was the peonies that were dug outside the Louyue Kaiyun Temple last fall.

These peonies were damaged a lot after leaving the moon and the clouds, but under the careful maintenance of the Fuchun Palace, they bloomed magnificently without losing the royal nobility.

For this hundred-day banquet, Concubine Dun took great pains and worked hard for more than a month. I don't know how much money she paid to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Tsk tsk, for this snatched son, Concubine Dun is really generous.

The prince's [-]th birthday, naturally all the concubines in the harem came without exception, and there were other princes and princesses, which made the Fuchun Hall extremely lively.

"Hey, the noble concubine is here!" Concubine Dun is wearing a begonia red frowning golden phoenix and a peony flag dress today. Wearing the Danfeng Chaoyang Yingluo necklace, tsk tsk, this new outfit probably cost a lot.

"Concubine Dun looks younger and more attractive when people are in good spirits on happy occasions." Shu Jin smiled and looked at Concubine Dun's delicate and beautiful face.

Concubine Dun smiled shyly, "My sister made fun of my sister again!"

After speaking, he greeted Shu Jin to sit down.

As a noble concubine, Shu Jin was naturally the last to come among the concubines, and all the concubines, princes, and princesses present had to stand up and salute.Shu Jin took the seat safely, nodded with a smile, "Sit down, everyone, today is a family banquet, don't be formal."

As for the emperor, he was busy with government affairs, so naturally he couldn't take the time to come here, but tonight, he must come to Fuchun Palace to stay overnight.

So now that Shu Jin is here, the Hundred Days Banquet can begin.

The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra sounded, and the maid brought the tea—this first cup of tea was for gargling.Then there are four items of dim sum: Baishou peach, Changchun roll, almond bergamot, crispy apple, and then four items of dried fruit: tiger skin peanuts, strange flavor big flat, milky white grapes, snow mountain plum, and four items of candied fruit: candied fruit Apple, candied longan, candied cherry, candied green plum.

The above twelve dishes are not counted as main dishes, and the following are five appetizers: deep-fried quail, braised scallops, white-grilled fish lips, braised fish bones, and braised shark skin with green onions.

At this point of the banquet, Concubine Mao's expression on the side became a little unsightly, she couldn't help but whispered: "Concubine, this standard...is a bit beyond."

Shu Jin smiled and said, "No, it's the same expenses as the six elder brothers and seventh elder brothers' hundred-day banquet."

Concubine Mao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that there are not so many dishes for general expenses!In other words, Concubine Dun filled it up by herself.

Concubine Xi raised her eyebrows: "The Nian family is really rich!"

Yes, where does Concubine Dun get her money from?Wasn't it given by the Nian's family?
Shu Jin said with a smile: "Don't just talk too much, the food won't taste good when it's cold."

After the appetizers were removed, there were four pastry dishes: imperial bean curd, sesame rolls, golden cake, jujube paste cake, and three dishes and one soup: anchovy shark's fin, red plum and pearl incense, Kung Pao hare, and Longjing bamboo fungus.

Round after round like this, the feast is like flowing water, and the money is also like flowing water!

Before the banquet was half over, Shu Jin was already half full, and suddenly found that a certain chair behind Concubine Xi was empty, "Where is Ning Guiren?"

There were many concubines present today, but she didn't pay attention to whether Mrs. Ning Gui came.

Concubine Xi hurriedly smiled and said: "She drank too much wine and went out to breathe."

Such a coincidence?Shu Jin raised her eyebrows, could it be that Concubine Xi is going to make trouble in Concubine Dun's Fuchun Palace?Then she would be happy to watch the show.

Concubine Dun, the rightful concubine, was shining brightly today, and she toasted concubine Shu Jin, concubine Xi, and concubine Mao frequently with a warm smile, but didn't pay much attention to concubines below the rank of concubine.

Concubine Mi was happy and quiet, but Li Guiren's old face was not very good-looking.Because Concubine Dun was holding Sanfujin Dong E's hand to make out affectionately, she left Li Guiren's mother-in-law aside.

The third elder brother just married Dong E's family a month ago. After marriage, he and his wives and concubines still live in the Haitang Library, far away from the residence of the concubines, and rarely deal with the harem.It is said that these Sanfujin don't often go to Li Guiren's place to say hello, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good.

At this moment, Concubine Dun's grand maid Zhi Lan hurriedly ran to Concubine Dun and whispered something in a low voice, the smile on Concubine Dun's face disappeared with naked eyes, and then she rushed to the back angrily.

Shu Jin raised his eyebrows, did something happen in the apse?

Needless to say, the eighth elder brother was placed in the most private harem of Concubine Dun.

Shu Jin suddenly realized that Ning Gui and his co-author went to visit his son secretly while taking advantage of the busy schedule.

She quickly glanced at Concubine Xi, but Concubine Xi was sitting peacefully like a mountain, not panicking at all.

There was no trouble in the Fuchun Hall, and a wave of new dishes was served soon, and Concubine Dun appeared in the front hall again in less than a quarter of an hour, smiling and apologizing to the noble concubine Shu Jin, "The eighth elder brother suddenly cried, the minister The concubine went to coax for a while, and neglected the noble concubine."

Shu Jin smiled and said, "It's common for children to cry, so it doesn't matter."

Ning Gui, on the other hand, hasn't come back yet.

Just as she was thinking about it, Ning Guiren's personal maid Yinzhu returned in a panic, and bowed her knees to Concubine Xi, "Madam, my young master... I can't go back to the banquet because I can't drink enough."

Concubine Xi said "Oh", and looked at Concubine Dun with a bit of embarrassment, "Mr. Ning Gui is probably hurt by the scene, sister, don't blame me."

Concubine Dun forced her smile, "If that's the case, let her go back! Don't disturb the sisters' pleasure!"

Concubine Xi smiled and said: "Since today is the [-]-day feast of the eighth elder brother, why didn't Concubine Dun take the eighth elder brother out and let us take a good look at it?"

Concubine Dun's face froze, and she said immediately: "Brother Ba has just been put to sleep, so it's not suitable to see people."

Shu Jin picked up the wine cup and took a sip: It was really tightly covered.

Concubine Xi nodded with a smile: "Eighth elder brother is not born to Concubine Dun, but he loves him like a fish's eye."

Concubine Dun's pretty face almost twisted, "If Concubine Xi also drank too much, you might as well go out to get some air!" - this is the meaning of chasing guests!
Concubine Xi laughed and said: "Thank you sister for your concern, I still have a good capacity for alcohol."

Concubine Dun gritted her teeth, "Since I'm not drunk, Concubine Xi will not talk drunk!" After saying this warning, Concubine Dun walked back to her seat.

Then, Concubine Dun changed her face, raised a gorgeous smile, and raised her wine glass to Shu Jin: "The concubine respects the concubine's sister."

Today's banquet is really lively.
