Queen is fearless

Chapter 95 New Year's Eve
Like Concubine Xing, Concubine Dong also made herself sick, and Gu Jinzhi was the first to know about it.

According to the rules of the palace, unless it is very urgent, it is very unlucky to see a doctor in the first month.

Therefore, everyone in the harem is very taboo to get sick during the first month.

When Concubine Dong fell ill, it was still the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, but she didn't say anything, so she didn't ask anyone to go to the imperial doctor.

After Gu Jinzhi found out, she just acted as if she didn't know, and she was not the Holy Mother, so she couldn't do her best for an ambitious person.

She doesn't hire an imperial physician herself, if it's serious and it drags on to the first month, that's her own business.

The road under our feet is walked by ourselves, and the bubbles are also worn by ourselves, so we can't blame others.

Therefore, when Jiang Xiuyi talked about Concubine Dong's illness, Gu Jinzhi would speak like this.

After falling into Yanqing Palace, the two of them checked everything carefully, and after confirming that there were no problems, they broke up outside Yanqing Palace and went back to the palace separately.

Back at Fengyang Palace, Gu Jinzhi first drank a cup of ginger tea to drive away the chill from his body. The palace banquet was held in the afternoon and lasted until late at night.

On New Year's Eve, she needs to watch the year old, and she can rest after at least one hour. Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and she will not be idle all day, so taking a nap this afternoon has become especially important.

After lunch, Gu Jinzhi went to the inner room to take a nap, because he had been told not to disturb anyone, so he slept pretty well this time.

After waking up from a nap, Gu Jinzhi ate something, and then began to wash and change clothes.

Fortunately, the auspicious clothes worn at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve were not as heavy as the ones worn on the first day of junior high school.

As soon as it was tidied up, I heard the sound of reporting and singing from outside the hall, and the emperor came.

Walking in from outside the hall, Zhou Jing saw Gu Jinzhi, and he quickly stepped forward to support her.

"This auspicious suit is heavy enough, so don't be too polite, but it's all packed?"

After the junior year, he spent most of his time in Fengyang Palace. In order to adapt to the first day of the new year, Gu Jinzhi often wore auspicious clothes and moved around in the palace.

Zhou Jing just looked at it and felt very hard, but it was the same for all the queens in the past, even if it hurts, there is no other way.

"It's all packed." Holding hands with Zhou Jing, Gu Jinzhi responded with a smile, and the emperor and empress went to Shoukang Palace hand in hand.

In tonight's New Year's Eve banquet, apart from some unqualified concubines, Concubine Xing and Concubine Dong will not appear in it.

No matter for the Empress Dowager, or Gu Jinzhi, the empress, it was a pleasant thing.

When the two arrived at Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager had already packed up and it was almost time. The three people with the highest status left Shoukang Palace and went to Yanqing Palace.

At this time, in Yanqing Palace, everyone who should be there has already arrived.

Those who have a good relationship, just get together and say a few words, and the hall is very lively.

Jiang Xiuyi's eyes turned to the place next to him. Concubine Dong didn't come, and she was sitting at the front of the concubine's seat.

Next to her, there were several concubines sitting respectively. Although their status was not high, they were all quite peaceful in the palace.

In the harem, there are indeed not many concubines.

If it was in the time of the first emperor, those who were lower than the third rank would not be able to show up at the palace banquet at all.

Some are useless even if they reach the third grade, if they are not favored enough.

Concentrating her eyes slightly, Jiang Xiuyi took a few glances, and reckoned that the one sitting at the back should be Concubine Shen Gui.

Concubine Jingui and Concubine Shengui are twins, they look the same, but have completely different personalities.

Right now, Concubine Jingui is still under confinement, and the only one who can appear here is Concubine Shengui.

As if feeling the gaze from above, Haoyue turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiuyi.

Seeing that she was staring at him, he blessed her.

Outside the hall, the palace people's report and singing came, and the hall suddenly became much quieter.

Jiang Xiuyi nodded to Haoyue, then stood up.

Accompanied by the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager walked into the Yanqing Palace, and the three most distinguished people in the Great Zhou Dynasty walked towards the first place.

Immediately, everyone in the hall knelt down and saluted the three of them, and the shouts resounded throughout Yanqing Palace.

Gu Jinzhi had experienced this kind of thing when he acted in costume dramas, but those were all extras, so the feeling was different.

Now that she was like this, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She seemed to understand why many people were obsessed with power.

"Everyone is flat." Zhou Jing's voice sounded faintly, and at this moment, the queen mother had already sat down.

After everyone thanked them, Zhou Jing held Gu Jinzhi's hand and sat down together.

Everyone also sat down. Compared with before, the hall is much quieter now.

"Today is New Year's Eve. The end of the year is also the beginning of the year. I am very relieved to be able to watch the year together with you."

In fact, not every New Year's Eve has to be spent in the palace. After all, everyone has a family, and everyone wants to spend the New Year with their family.

Therefore, the palace banquet on New Year's Eve is usually only once every three years, or it will be added once when an extremely important event occurs that year.

For example, when the new emperor ascends the throne, there must be a palace banquet in the palace in the new year.

Or, the queen's entry into the palace is also a big event. On New Year's Eve, a palace banquet will be prepared.

If the queen hadn't entered the palace this year, there would be no preparations for a palace banquet on New Year's Eve. If there is no major event next year, the royal family and ministers can celebrate the New Year at home on New Year's Eve next year.

Wait until the first day of the new year to entertain the envoys from various countries, and then appear in the palace to participate in the palace banquet.

"Let's start." After a long conversation, Zhou Jing gave an order, singing and dancing sounded, and the palace people put all kinds of food in front of everyone's table.

The food at the palace banquet, except for the meals of the empress and the empress dowager, would be quite different from other people's food, even if there was a difference, it would not be too big.

When the banquet begins, the emperor will give food to some of the ministers according to their achievements in the past year.

It is a great honor to receive vegetables from the emperor, and many people secretly looked at the emperor above.

Yuan Bao tried every dish, and after confirming that there was no problem, he served the dish to the emperor.

Zhou Jing roughly tasted it, ordered a few dishes, and sent them to several ministers.

Among them, there are people who take care of the family.

Gu Jinzhi sat on the chair, because Yanqing Palace was a place specially prepared for various palace banquets, so it was extra large.

She sits at the top and needs good eyesight to see everyone below.

Fortunately, she is not short-sighted, her father Gu Qingshan is located very close to the front, so she can see him.

This was the first time she saw her father after coming to ancient times.

The palace servants are placing the dishes bestowed by the emperor on Gu Qingshan's table.

Standing up, Gu Qingshan thanked Zhou Jing, besides him, several other people also saluted and thanked the emperor.

Gu Jinzhi withdrew his gaze, savored the dishes on the table, and occasionally looked at the emperor with a smile in his eyes.

Zhou Jing raised his glass and motioned to her, Gu Jinzhi picked up the glass and drank with him.

This is her first New Year in the palace...
