After the divorce, the salted fish beauty took the script of the villain

Chapter 655
The New Year is approaching, and in the first year of the new dynasty, there are many happy events. The preparations by the Ministry of Rites are also more grand than in previous years. The palace banquet lasts for five days. When Xie Xun and Feng Yu saw the process, they felt that the officials and wives of the clan were really hardworking. Get up and wait in the wind and snow, and regard it as an honor.

Xie Xun and Feng Yu are not in the habit of tormenting people. Since they are holding a palace banquet, they naturally have to make the guests and hosts happy, so they specially chose the largest Yuqiu Palace.There are many small palaces next to Yuqiu Palace. Those who come early can go to the palace to escape the cold, rest, and wait for the banquet to begin.In previous years, he would wait outside the palace gate, and he would come early to wait. When the emperor and queen came, Mo would have to wait for about an hour.No one dares to be late for such an occasion and usually comes early. Feng Yu also waited at the palace banquet and knew that the wind and snow were biting, so she asked the palace maids and eunuchs to clean the nearby palaces properly so that everyone would not have to wait in the snow. She Neither Xie Xun nor Xie Xun cared much about these etiquette.

Organizing a large palace banquet is a complex and trivial process, which especially tests one's control ability. At first, the Minister of Rites was afraid that Feng Yu was young and had never held a large palace banquet before, so she would not be able to handle it, so he personally arranged every process with Feng Yu. Yu carefully finalized it, but she didn't expect that Feng Yu was even more handy than the Minister of Rites. She even made slight adjustments to the seating arrangement of officials and wives. They were generally sorted according to their grades, but there were some differences.

For example, if the Lin family is getting married to the family of the Minister of Justice, Feng Yu will specially arrange for Minister Yang and his family to sit behind the Lin family.

Anyuanhou's family has good relations with the Feng family and the Fang family, and Feng Yu will arrange for them to sit together.

Mrs. Fang had a bad relationship with Mr. Li. In previous years, the palace banquets were always arranged together because the two families had equal status and were related by marriage.This time Feng Yu specially arranged for the Li family to sit opposite the Fang family.The seating arrangement list is on file in the etiquette department, and Feng Yu actually has it as a reference.

After re-ranking, Feng Yu found that with Anyuan Hou and the Feng family as the center, they were all celebrities from the rear clan and celebrities from the royal family, forming a self-contained group. After seeing it, Feng Yu felt it was inappropriate, so she rearranged the arrangement again, unable to do so. It gives people a sense of intimacy and distance.

Feng Yu adjusted the seats three times and was finally satisfied.

The dishes at the banquet and the palace servants who served them were prepared in an orderly manner by Feng Yu. Considering that the imperial dining room was far away from Yuqiu Palace, Feng Yu specially asked the imperial chef to move to the vicinity of Yuqiu Palace during the palace banquet. The houses were temporarily relocated.

Xie Xun was a little confused, "Why? This is too troublesome."

"Have you ever attended a palace banquet before and never found the food at the palace banquet unpalatable?"

"That's a bit!" Xie Xun frowned in disgust, "After I ascended the throne, I felt that the food cooked in the dining room was not bad. Is it because Yuwen Dynasty was too poor and the ingredients were not good?"

Feng Yu, "..."

Xie Xun, a non-picky eater, disliked it, which means that the food at the palace banquet was not delicious.

This does not mean that Yuwen Chao was too poor.

Feng Yu said, "It's because the imperial dining room is too far away from the palace banquet place, and it's winter. Except for the pots, the dishes are already cold in as little as one stick of incense from the time they are taken out of the pot to the palace banquet. I remember that year's palace banquet." When a dish of roast duck was delivered to my desk, there was a layer of oil floating on the surface. It was cold, hard, and particularly unpalatable. I didn’t even get a piece of hot soup. For a large banquet, every table cannot prepare it. You can only eat cold dishes while holding the pot, and the kitchen also knows that, so they try not to make too greasy dishes."

"I see!" Xie Xun used to drink mostly at palace banquets and was not too picky about food, so he didn't care too much. Who among the officials and wives who came to the palace banquet would find the food at the palace banquet unpalatable? No one would be so stupid to despise the emperor's favor.

"You will give me fresh fruits and vegetables on New Year's Eve." Giving food to the palace is also an honor. The banquet in the palace starts from the first day of the new year. During the reunion banquet on New Year's Eve, all the palaces will focus on which families the palace will give food to. It also represents the honor and favor of the Tian family, "If you send a dish from the palace to someone else's mansion, it will take half an hour at the fastest. The dish is already cold, and all the dishes given by the emperor have to be eaten. How annoying!”

Xie Xun, "..."

Xie Xun just planned to give a dish of braised pork based on previous years, but he had not thought about such details.

When he thought about the cold braised pork dish received by each government and having to hold his nose to eat it, Xie Xun felt that fruits and vegetables were really good, but there were not so many fruits and vegetables in winter.

Xie Xun helplessly spread his hands, "I can only wrong them!"

Feng Yu, "..."

That being said, when Xie Xun gave the dishes to them on New Year's Eve, they were equipped with a small stove to ensure that the dishes were hot.

There was only a family banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve, and Xie Xun also broke the rules of previous years. The officials celebrated the New Year at home, and there was a small family banquet in the palace. It was just him, Feng Yu, Xie Jue and Ruyi.Although he didn't entertain anyone else, Xie Xun was a person with a smooth bowl of water. Almost every family gave them dishes. Even Dugu Jing and the princess, who were alone in a foreign land during the New Year in Beijing, took care of them and asked the imperial chef to prepare Northern Man dishes for them. Send it over.

The family banquet was held in the Longevity Palace. The palace people set off fireworks and firecrackers outside. Ruyi's eyes were staring outside, because Xie Xun and Xie Jue promised to take him out of the palace to go on a cruise after eating. Little Ruyi was very good at eating and would urge him Feng Yu, hurry up and eat. After eating, we go out to play together.

The palace banquet was held in the Palace of Longevity, which was warm and peaceful, and the family didn't have too many worries when they got together to talk. "Second brother, my cousin is engaged, have you given any gifts?" Xie Xun asked.

"Give it away!" Xie Jue said concisely.

"Uncle, didn't you chat with me for a while?"

"No."

Feng Yu knew what Xie Xun wanted to say as soon as she rolled her eyes, let alone Xie Jue. Xie Xun said, "Both my eldest uncle and my second uncle have been nagging me, saying that my cousin is engaged, so you should hurry up. They also Tell me to ask Ayu to hold more palace banquets and invite women from various families to the palace so that you can choose carefully."

Xie Jue raised his eyes and gave him a cold look, "Are you full?"

"not yet!"

"Keep eating and don't talk."

"Second brother, you can't be so domineering." Xie Xun didn't dare to provoke his second brother after he became the emperor. He turned to ask little Ruyi, "Ruyi, do you want a mother-in-law?"

Ruyi was gnawing on the ribs, his little paws were covered with oil. Xie Jue was restraining himself from wiping his hands with a handkerchief. When he heard Xie Xun's words, his round eyes blinked, "What is mother?"

Xie Xun, "..."

Feng Yu, "..."

Xie Jue, "..."

Xiao Ruyi was at an ignorant age. Ever since he was a child, his mother had not been in his life. In the Feng family, the old lady and Su Yuejiao could not talk about it.In the palace, everyone said that Ruyi's mother had passed away a long time ago, and they were strictly forbidden to talk about it. Ruyi's playmates were only the two children of Fengwan's family. One of them stumbled when talking, and the other was not a girl who talked about her mother. , Xiao Ruyi's concept of mother is still very vague.

Feng Yu thought of her sister, her eyes were red, and she had a lot of emotions, as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in her heart, she was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.

Xie Jue frowned slightly and kicked Xie Xun under the table.

Xie Xun didn't expect that his words would make Feng Yu sad, so he looked at Feng Yu with distress and annoyance. He just wanted to tease his second brother, but he didn't expect that it would make Feng Yu sad.

"Ayu, don't be sad."

"I'm fine." Feng Yu endured the longing in her heart and comforted Xie Xun.

They didn't know how to answer Ruyi's question for a moment. Xie Jue said, "We will tell him when Ruyi is older."

Ruyi is just three years old and has just learned to write his own name. Some things are still very unclear to him.

Feng Yu felt that she should let nature take its course. When she grows up, she will understand what she should know. With Ruyi's face, no one would doubt that he was not a bloodline of the Xie family. His parents' affairs were too heavy for him.

It won't be too late to tell him when he becomes an adult.
