Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 268

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with us sitting here!" Kong Sizhen looked at Dolan on the right, couldn't help approaching Ya Ruo, and whispered.

"I also think it's wrong, but there's nothing I can do. I've already sat down. If I change my seat now, it will be too eye-catching, and... this must be what the Queen Mother meant. Let's just sit obediently!" Ruo Ruo replied in a low voice, at this moment, she also felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, because... her position is considered to be the first, next to Kong Sizhen, and below that is the highest-ranking concubine Dolan in the palace.

The most terrible thing is that the queen mother actually called all the concubines in the palace to the banquet this time. In previous years, only those with high status were eligible to attend the banquet.

Therefore, sitting in this position, she is attracting the attention of all people!
What Ya Ruo didn't know was that some of the Fujins had already talked in private, saying that the queen mother might want to wait for Ya Ruo to grow up to be the queen, otherwise she wouldn't sit in the first place. As for Kong Sizhen, they also thought that the queen mother wanted to keep him Be a daughter-in-law.

As usual, after the emperor and the queen mother each said a few auspicious words, they ordered the banquet to begin.

The purpose of the family banquet on New Year's Eve is a reunion of the royal family. Those invited are here to bathe in the grace of the emperor, and eating is second. Therefore, there are very few people like Ya Ruo and Kong Sizhen who have a serious meal. .

"The emerald sea cucumber porridge just now is not bad, Baolan, go and get me another cup, sister Zhen, do you want more?" Ya Ruo asked Kong Sizhen who was sitting beside her.

"I don't want this, I like spicy food more, Baolan, you will help me see if there are any appetizing cold dishes, the spicier the better." Kong Sizhen said in a low voice.

"Yes, I'm going now, servant girl." Baolan hurriedly responded, and quickly stepped back.

"Sister Zhen, look, the one over there... the fourth row from left to right is the third one, Suyang Baylor, he is about the same age as my sister, he is the grandson of the great ancestor, the emperor's cousin, I heard that he has a good personality , Wenzhi and martial arts are considered to be at the top of the Royal Baylor, and they have been valued by the emperor for more than half a year. If they are reused by the emperor, their future prospects will be limitless." Ya Ruo looked at Kong Sizhen and said softly.

Kong Sizhen forgot the past when he heard the words, to be honest, Ya Ruo has a good eye, that man is tall and handsome, with a dignified appearance, and when he talks to people around him, he looks very refined.

In the past, I don't know if it was because she and Sun Yanling grew up as childhood sweethearts, but she really liked a handsome man like Sun Yanling, but... Ever since Sun Yanling suffered a catastrophe at home and Sun Yanling abandoned her, She hated this kind of man who was more handsome than a woman. In her subconscious mind, such a man was unreliable.

"He is about the same age as me, isn't he married yet? Don't Manchus all have the custom of early marriage, women usually get married at the age of 13, before they reach the age, men also get married at about the same age." Kong Sizhen said. Said loudly.

Just looking at the appearance, that Su Yang Baylor is quite in line with her current aesthetics, but I don't know how her character is.

Although she doesn't want to marry, she can marry if she meets a suitable one.

"It is true that he is not married. As for the reason... I don't know about it. Don't be in a hurry, sister. I will send someone to inquire about it." Ya Ruo said in a low voice.

Except for Su Yang, all the Baylor gentlemen in this palace are either married or young, and compared with Kong Sizhen, they are much worse, and some are not suitable.

The seats they are sitting in today are too conspicuous, and Ya Ruo doesn't bother to care about everyone's surprised gazes, she eats and drinks on her own, and occasionally leans over to chat with Kong Sizhen to pass the time. , Compared with the ones she saw in her previous life, it was far worse, so she was not interested.

"Sister... They actually surpassed her and sat in the front. If this continues, what status does our sister have in the palace?" Bao Leer, who was sitting next to Dolan, couldn't help but tugged on Dolan's sleeve, said in a low voice.

It was fine if she didn't say anything, but after saying this, Dolan felt even more angry and couldn't calm down.

Originally, they were not favored by the emperor, and it was enough to make her depressed when they were not as good as her little aunt, a yellow-haired girl. It's a special setback, but... as a noble concubine, she is quite proud of being the highest-ranking woman in the palace other than the empress dowager, but... she was severely slapped in the face today.

You know, during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, as a royal concubine, she, Dolan, was still sitting at the top. At that time, Yaruo was sitting behind several of their concubines.

Why can Ya Ruo and Kong Sizhen pass her and sit in front today?

This is simply too much!
Is this what the queen mother meant?Does the queen mother's aunt want Yaruo to be the queen and Kong Sizhen to be the imperial concubine?
She felt that she couldn't wait any longer. If she waited any longer, she might end up being sent back to Horqin just like Meng Guqing.

Although Dolan was unhappy in her heart, she didn't show anything on her face. After fooling Bao Leer a few words casually, she began to plan in her heart.

Halfway through the family banquet, the emperor felt a little dizzy after drinking a lot of wine, and wanted to go to the apse to rest for a while, so he asked Wu Liangfu to help him out.

There are many people here today, but all the nobles of the royal family who have a head and a face will toast to the emperor. Although everyone drank it in one gulp every time, the emperor only drank a little, but the crowd couldn't stand it, so I was a little dizzy.

Seeing the back of the emperor going away, the queen mother felt a little distressed, and immediately told Su Mo'er beside her, "Go and tell Ya Ruo that the emperor is drunk, let her go to the back hall to have a look."

Su Mo'er was a little surprised when she heard the words. The emperor was drunk, and the empress dowager should send someone to sober up the soup. What did you ask Ya Ruo Gege to do?
Although the emperor loves that Ge Ge very much, but... Ge Ge can't hangover.

"Yes, I'm going now, servant girl." Although she felt strange in her heart, Su Mo'er hurriedly sent a message.

She had long since dared not embarrass Ya Ruo, had long since dared not trip Ya Ruo, because the Queen Mother had warned her, which made her dare not act rashly.

Ya Ruo kept talking to Kong Sizhen. Although she noticed that the emperor had gone out, she didn't notice that the emperor had drunk too much. After hearing what Su Mo'er said, she stood up and took Baolan and Yingge to the apse.

"By the way, Yingge, go to the dining room and bring a bowl of hangover soup to the emperor." Ya Ruo ordered in a low voice after arriving at the entrance of the hall.

Today is a big banquet in the palace. According to the usual practice, the hangover soup is always boiled, and there is one if you want it.

Ya Ruo entered the back hall and saw the emperor was resting on the couch of Arhats, immediately walked over and sat on the other side of the couch of Arhats, separated by a small table between them.
