Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 80 Mid-Autumn Night Banquet ([-])
Wanxian followed Concubine An back to Changchun Palace, and the people below quickly bathed and changed Wanxian's clothes.

Wanxian changed into azure-colored auspicious clothes, combed her hair again, and specially put on a set of Dielianhua hair and face newly awarded by Lord Long Live.

After everything was ready, Wanxian, An Bin and Bu Guiren took the chariot to the Imperial Garden.

Since Changchun Garden was built in the 29th year of Kangxi's reign, most Mid-Autumn Festival banquets have been held in Changchun Garden.It’s just that this year the Long Live Lord did not go to the garden to escape the summer heat, so this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the Imperial Garden.

When Wanxian arrived at the Imperial Garden and got off the chariot.I saw that the decoration of the Imperial Garden no longer looked like the Imperial Garden. There were lanterns and red silk everywhere.

Wanxian followed Concubine An and Guiren Bu to the banquet place, and saw Concubine He, Concubine Cheng and others had already arrived and were sitting at the banquet.

After An Bin walked in, the three of them greeted each other. Wanxian and Bu Guiren also greeted the new nobleman and Yuan Guiren.

A leading eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to report the positions of the masters. Wanxian was sitting at the first place in the third row, and in front of her was Concubine An.

After Wanxian sat down, she quickly asked the chief eunuch who she wanted to be her next.

The chief eunuch reported back, saying that the subordinate of noble Shu is noble Guo Luoluo, and the subordinate of noble Guo Luoluo is noble Wang.

After Wanxian heard this, she kept holding the jade pendant in her hand in fear.Obviously, these two greetings made Wanxian feel a little afraid of Guo Luoluo and Renwang Guiren.Wanxian was a little scared, afraid that these two noble people would make things difficult for her.

While Wanxian was comforting herself, Concubine Yi arrived.

Wanxian quickly saluted and said hello, waiting for Concubine Yi to call her.

Only then did Wanxian see Empress Yi Fei with her two elder brothers, the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, as well as the two Fu Jins.

Wanxian finally understood what Long Live Lord meant when he said that Ninth Prince was the most handsome among all the princes and princesses.How could a man be so good-looking? Brother Jiu's appearance should have taken after that of Empress Yi Fei.However, Wanxian herself felt that although Ninth Brother was good-looking, he was too handsome and looked a bit girly.Long live the Lord's appearance is still good, he looks heroic, and he looks majestic at first glance.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived, the fourth elder brother has arrived, and the fourth prince has arrived. The thirteenth elder brother and the thirteenth prince have arrived, and the fourteenth prince and the fourteenth prince have arrived." the eunuch sang the report.

Wanxian performed the squat ceremony again and waited for Concubine De to call her.After Concubine De sat down and called, Wanxian stood up.I saw the fourth and fourteenth elder brothers born to Concubine De, as well as the thirteenth elder brother who was raised by Concubine De.

Looking at Fourth Brother's face, Wanxian was a little frightened.He is like a black-faced god in a temple, afraid to let people get close to him.Now he is the fourteenth brother, young and energetic.If you look carefully at the faces of the two elder brothers, you can see that they still have the same resemblance to each other.As for the thirteenth brother, he felt a little cheerful when he heard his greetings.

Wanxian sat at the table and watched like this, when she saw Wang Guiren coming in front with her two elder brothers.One is 15 years old and the other is 13 years old.These two elder brothers are still young, and they were pulled by the noble king to pay their respects to the ladies in charge.

Wanxian looked across and saw only the fourth and seventh elder brothers who were the first to attend.Concubine An once said that Brother Seventh had a disease in his leg.But Wanxian didn't notice it either, maybe because she was sitting down.

"Shugui, you are blessed." Wanxian had been looking at the princes opposite, when suddenly someone made a voice.

Wanxian quickly raised her head and saw noble Nala.Wanxian quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Noble Nala, you are blessed."

"Sir, you are polite. You go about your business first." Nala said and returned to his seat.

Just when Wanxian was a little confused, a voice called her again.

"Shu Gui, you are blessed." When Guo Luoluo sat down on his seat, he found that Shu Gui was right above him.

I was disdainful at first, but I remembered my sister's instructions.I had no choice but to put on a smile so that I could give the noble lady a sideburn caress.

Wanxian turned around and saw Guo Luoluo, the noble man who had been jostling her, smiling and bowing to her.Wanxian stood up a little flattered, and quickly returned the courtesy to Noble Guo Luoluo: "Noble Guo Luoluo, you are blessed." "Noble Shu, you are welcome, please sit down." Noble Guo Luoluo said politely to Wanxian. said.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo Luoluo, please sit down too." Wanxian didn't know what to say, so she had to follow Mr. Guo Luoluo's words.

After Guo Luoluo sat down, he only looked forward and stopped talking to Wanxian.

"Concubine Rong has arrived, Brother San has arrived, and Sanfu Jin has arrived." The eunuch's announcement sounded.

Wanxian quickly saluted and said hello, and when she got up, she saw the third elder brother.The third elder brother has a scholarly and elegant atmosphere.

"The good concubine is here, the eighth prince is here, the eighth prince is here, and the tenth prince is here." After hearing this, Wanxian quickly saluted again.

When Wanxian got up, she saw Brother Eight helping Concubine Liang to sit on the seat.The eighth prince looked as friendly as a spring breeze, and he held the hand of the eighth prince and sat together in the seat.I heard that Ba Age and Ba Fu Jin were very much in love with each other, but Ba Fu Jin had nothing to do for many years.

There is also the tenth prince, who is said to be the son of the late Concubine Wen Xi, who is also the biological sister of Empress Xiaozhao.

The tenth prince has a somewhat honest appearance, and he is very close to the eighth and ninth princes.

So and so, except for the Queen Mother and the Long Live Lord.Only the imperial concubine, the prince and the princess have not arrived.

"The Crown Prince has arrived, the Crown Princess has arrived." The eunuch sang after reporting.

Wanxian quickly lowered her head and performed a Wanfu ceremony.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a distinguished status. Although Wanxian is just a small noble, she is still considered the concubine of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. All she needs to do is perform the Wanfu Ceremony.

After the prince and princess took their seats, Wanxian stood up and took their seats.

Wanxian secretly glanced at the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince was the prince who was raised by Lord Long Live himself. He was the legitimate son of Lord Long Live and Empress Renxiao of the Yuan Dynasty.Wanxian saw that the prince's appearance was also very outstanding. Perhaps Wanxian was wrong, she always felt that there was a hint of anger hidden in the prince's eyebrows.The Crown Princess looked delicate and looked like a virtuous matron of the house.

"The Queen Mother has arrived, the Long Live Lord has arrived, and the Imperial Concubine has arrived." Liang Jiugong's voice came from not far away.

I saw Long Live Lord walking in front, and behind me, the imperial concubine and a nun were supporting an old lady with a kind face.The crowd hurriedly saluted and said: "Long live my Lord, long live the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother live a thousand lives, may the Imperial Concubine be safe and sound."

After Kangxi sat on the dragon chair, he watched the imperial concubine help the Queen Mother sit down, and shouted: "Everyone, get up. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Reunion Festival. There are no outsiders today, they are all family members. Don't be restrained. Now, feel more comfortable." After saying this, Kangxi looked at the concubines present.He saw the little girl standing up wearing an azure-colored auspicious suit and wearing a set of Die Lianhua hair and face.

"Huang Ama, I wanted to go to Qianqing Palace to come with you. But when I arrived at Qianqing Palace, I found out that Huang Ama had gone to Ningshou Palace to pick up Huang Mama." The prince took the lead in speaking out the topic.In fact, the prince was a little dissatisfied.In previous years, he didn't have to take the initiative to go to Qianqing Palace. Huang Ama would send someone to pick him up and take him to Qianqing Palace.When the time comes, we will attend the banquet together to show our distinguished status as the crown prince.But this time Huang Ama went to Ningshou Palace quietly.

Kangxi naturally heard the dissatisfaction in the prince's mouth, and Yinreng became more and more outrageous, but after all, he still had to worry about the prince's face in front of others.Said: "I saw that your Queen Mother was getting older, so I thought of picking her up."

The queen mother on the side has been listening to the translation of the nanny next to her.When the old lady was young, she came from the grassland full of expectations, but she was never favored by her husband.The Manchu language that I had studied so hard was completely forgotten under the pressure of the late emperor and Concubine Dong E.Later, when I became the Queen Mother, I learned a few words again.But when you get older, no one pressures you to learn. Once you learn something, you forget it, so you just forget it.After listening to the translation by the nanny beside her, the Queen Mother glanced at the Prince inadvertently.

"I see, it's the Queen Mother who was careless and neglectful." The prince added after the corner of his clothes was pulled by the princess.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Concubine Tong Jia had no choice but to come out to smooth things over.Concubine Tong Jia picked up the wine glass, pointed it at Kangxi and said: "Long live Lord, I will bring the concubines and concubines to toast to Long live Lord. I wish the Qing Dynasty a peaceful country and the people, and I wish Long live Lord to have this day every year, and to have this day every year."

Seeing the noble concubine's head, the concubines all stood up, picked up their wine glasses and said, "I wish the Qing Dynasty and its people peace and prosperity, and I wish you long live the present day every year and the present day every year."
