The only favorite Qing Palace: Concubine Xi An

Chapter 373 The Return
The success of pacifying the war in Qinghai made the fourth master overjoyed, so the fourth master decided to give Nian Gengyao an extraordinary favor.

Prior to this, Nian Gengyao had successively been awarded the titles of third-class and second-class princes because of his military achievements in pacifying Tibet and the Guoluoke Rebellion.This time, he was promoted to a first-class public with careful planning and surprising success.

In addition, it will be rewarded to a Viscount, who will be inherited by his son Nian Bin.His father, Nian Xialing, was granted the title of First Class Duke, plus the title of Grand Tutor.

As a Han Chinese, it was the first time for the Nian family to receive this honor since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

When the Northwest victory came back, the palace had to hold a banquet for Nian Gengyao.

Although Fu Hui passed away unfortunately, Nian Xue's spirit is not very good.But this time when her brother came back, Nian Xue cheered up and attended the banquet this time.

The venue for the banquet was set in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was the most regulated banquet in the Qing Dynasty.If there is no major event, generally only New Year's Day and Longevity Day are allowed to hold banquets in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This time Nian Gengyao's celebration banquet was chosen in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which shows that it is extremely grand.

Nian Xue put on auspicious clothes, showing a rare graceful and luxurious posture.

"On weekdays, my lord always likes to wear some refreshing clothes. Today, I changed into auspicious clothes, and this servant thinks that you are very beautiful." When Nian'er changed the clothes for Nian Xue, seeing Nian Xue's unparalleled beauty, she could not bear the pain. Can't help but sigh.

When Nian Xue conferred the concubine last time, due to physical reasons, the conferring ceremony was kept simple.Therefore, it was the first time that Nianxue wore the special auspicious costume for the noble concubine on such a grand occasion.

Nian Xue just smiled, looked at Nian'er and said, "It's just a skin. Keeping it for me will be a burden instead."

The words were inexplicable, Nian'er felt that it was not very auspicious, and said: "General Nian is back, young master, you should smile more. Now that the Nian family is in power, young master will definitely not have to worry about it in the future."

"Yeah, the Nian family has gained power." Nian Xue muttered, not knowing what she was thinking, but when she heard the noise outside, she turned her gaze back to the front of the bronze mirror.

The person in the mirror looked haggard, as if he had put on several layers of powder.The eyebrows were drawn finely, and the eyes were as clear as an ancient well, but they always revealed a bit of sadness.

With this fancy dress, Nian Xue actually thinks it doesn't match.But there was no way, her brother came back.

Besides Fuhui and fourth master, the most important person to her is her brother.

Thinking of this, Nian Xue regained her spirits and walked out.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, fourth master was already sitting at the top.Slightly behind the side is the queen's position.The ones below are the positions of imperial concubine, concubine and concubine in order.

As for those whose status is lower than that of concubines, if it is not for the prosperity of Long Chong, they will naturally not be eligible to participate in such feasts.

When Lan Xin went, she brought her three children with her.Hongli took his younger siblings by the hand and followed Lan Xin all the time.

"Fourth brother, this celebration banquet is so luxurious, is Nian Gengyao really good?" Jing Hua moved to Hongli's side, her tone a little excited and excited.

"General Nian put down the rebellion in Qinghai, so he is no ordinary person." Hongli took La Jinghua's hand, signaling Jinghua not to look around.

Hongxi, on the other hand, obediently followed behind Hongli, quietly.

After everyone was seated, fourth master announced the start of the banquet.

Although this time is a celebration banquet, it is no different from the usual banquets.The only change was that the object of celebration became Nian Gengyao.

Nian Gengyao sat at the bottom at the same level as the queen, which shows that he still holds a very high position in Fourth Master's mind.

And during the banquet, Nian Gengyao often chatted with Fourth Master.The appearance of talking and laughing is quite a bit like the monarch and his ministers having fun together.

Lan Xin looked envious, and sometimes felt that it would be a good thing if she also had such a powerful brother.But I think that although the people in the family don't have much achievements, they can be regarded as a happy family.

"Emiang, why don't you drink the fruit wine in front of you? Your face is a little red." Hongli said to Lan Xin suddenly as he was sitting on the side.

Fourth Master knew that Lan Xin could not drink alcohol.So in front of Lan Xin were some non-intoxicating fruit wines.

But even so, after several toasts, Lan Xin still drank several glasses.Right now, the whole person is dizzy, and he can't see the singing and dancing in front of him clearly.

"It seems to be a little drunk." Lan Xin realized that she took the wine glass a little farther away.

"Emiang, shall I accompany you to the side hall to rest for a while?" Jing Hua was not at ease looking at it, so she simply stepped forward and said.

Lan Xin nodded before quietly retreating to the side hall.

Above, fourth master was talking to Nian Gengyao about what he had seen and heard about the Qinghai area, when Lan Xin who was sitting at the bottom got up and went out.I was a little worried at the moment, but I still couldn't get away.

Nian Gengyao chatted for a while, and seemed to see that the fourth master was absent-minded, so he simply asked: "The emperor has been absent-minded since Concubine Xi went out. Could it be that he is worried about Concubine Xi?"

Although it was a joke, fourth master was always a little more unhappy when he heard it.

After all, he is an emperor, so he can't tolerate what other people say casually, right?

Fourth Master only smiled, and said, "It's because I lost my mind, let's continue."

Lan Xin walked out of the main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, was blown by the wind outside, and felt a little more sober.It happened that the temperature in the hall was suitable, so Lan Xin fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, most of the banquet had already gone on.Lan Xin couldn't leave the meeting for a long time, so she simply went back.

At that time, fourth master saw Lan Xin coming back, and his hanging heart suddenly let go.With a sigh of relief, the whole person returned to normal.

Of course, Lan Xin didn't know the changes before and after the fourth master, and always thought that the fourth master was still talking to Nian Gengyao.

After the banquet, it was getting late.Seeing that the palace gate was about to be locked, Fourth Master naturally had no choice but to let Nian Gengyao go back earlier.

In the next few days, Nian Gengyao's wife often went to the palace to visit the ladies and lords.Whenever she saw Lan Xin, she was very polite.

In particular, Lan Xin specially gave a pair of Xinjiang Hetian jade bracelets and a pair of green agate earrings.

The bracelet is a suet white jade bracelet, pure and flawless, it looks like a rare good.The agate earrings are extremely watery, which is also a rare thing.

Lan Xin was speechless in private, she really felt that Mrs. Nian was too extravagant.

The things she sent out almost surpassed the things given by the fourth master in the palace.

As everyone knows, the things that Nian Gengyao asked Mrs. Nian to send to Nian Xue in private are even more rare treasures in the world.
