Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 141 Royal Annual Banquet

"Brother Hai, why did you come into the palace?" Situ Jie ran towards me as soon as I stepped into Fuze Palace.I went up to him and said, "What's the rush? It's just past the end of the day, and the family banquet is still early. I was exhausted when I went to worship the ancestors yesterday. There are so many rules, and I almost broke my knees just by saluting." It's gone." Situ Jie complained with a small mouth: "I've been back to the palace for so long and you haven't come to see me, and Shunzi is busy with all the preparations for the New Year and has no time to talk to me, I'm almost bored to death." I touched He calmed his head and said: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been in the palace for so long to accompany you. It's cold outside. Let's go in first. I heard that you were caught by the wind and cold. Yesterday, the emperor's uncle who worshiped the ancestors didn't let you go." You go with me, if it's cold again, the emperor will accuse me." Situ Jie rubbed his slightly red nose and said, "Okay, let's go in. Shunzi just brought some candied date cakes and let them cool down. It won’t taste good anymore.” He took my hand and happily walked into the house.

On the day before New Year's Eve, members of the royal family, Chinese and military officials, all go with the emperor to worship the ancestors, in order to pray for the prosperity of the country and the people, and good weather.That night, the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain civil and military officials to celebrate the coming New Year.On New Year's Eve, the emperor will hold a family banquet in the palace to entertain members of the royal family to welcome the New Year together.If I hadn't heard that Situ Jie was suffering from the wind and cold, I wouldn't have entered the palace so early.

Stepping into the hall, a bright red came into my eyes. Red paper-cuts were pasted on the window frames, and red palace lanterns hung from the beams. As long as there was a place in the room that could be replaced, I didn’t take it down, even the soft chairs on the round stools. The mat is also covered with a brocade cover with cloud pattern, which symbolizes auspiciousness. "Shunzi, go and make a pot of hot tea, there are guests here," Situ Jie shouted to Qi Shun who was tidying up in the back room as soon as he entered the house.Qi Shun came out from the back room and saw me coming here, leaned over and saluted, and said: "I have seen the son, the son is auspicious." I waved my hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't pretend in front of me, it is true to serve the master well, go quickly Let's make tea." Qi Shun got up and said with a smile: "This is the order of the prince, don't forget the etiquette." I laughed and scolded: "Now you are like Luzi, you are getting more and more glib. Xiaojie, you need to be disciplined He, so as not to climb on your head in the future."

"Master, what are you making up for?" I turned around and saw that it was Situ Jing who came in with Xu Lu from the outside, "You have long ears, so you can hear everything." Xu Lu shrugged and said, "No You can’t do anything that your parents give you.” I rolled my eyes at him and said, “Stop talking nonsense, go make tea with Shunzi.” When Xu Lu heard that he was fiddling with the hem of his clothes, he pretended to be coquettish and said, “Master, I won’t take you with me.” This way, you know how to bully others." I made an expression that wanted to vomit, and said, "Luzi, stop torturing me, young master, I really want to vomit." Seeing what I said, Xu Lu hurriedly picked up the corner of the room The spittoon ran to me and said, "Master, if you want to vomit, just vomit it. Luzi will catch it for you, and make sure it doesn't leak." I waved him and punched him and said, "Hurry up and make me tea, and you can continue talking." I'm really going to throw up." Xu Lu laughed and said, "Young Master, you're not being funny, Shunzi, let's make tea." Then he ran out with Qi Shun.I spread my hands out, shook my head helplessly and said: "Xiaojie, you saw it, it's a lesson learned from the past. Sigh..."

Situ Jing, who had been standing there the whole time, pulled me away and said, "Don't feel sorry for me. Lu Zi is not up to you. This is called being like a master. You'd better review yourself." I was not convinced. She glared at him, and sat at the table with her mouth shut, ignoring him.Seeing this, Situ Jing opened the stool and sat down, picked up a piece of candied date cake and handed it to Situ Jie, saying, "Little Jie, you should eat the candied date cake while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." Situ Jie took the candied date cake and took a bite Said: "It's so sweet, Brother Hai, you can eat too." Before I could react, Situ Jing interjected: "Xiaojie eats by himself, you don't know how to eat when Brother Hai is angry." He glared at him viciously and said, "You don't care if I eat or not." He grabbed a piece of candied date cake and stuffed it into his mouth.Situ Jing smiled and said: "I'm sure it's true that things resemble their masters. Eat slowly so you don't choke." I swallowed the candied date cake in my mouth, grabbed another piece and took a bite and said, "I won't fuck you if you choke." What are you doing here if you don’t stay with daddy in the imperial study?" Situ Jing said: "Can I come and see Xiaojie? You are not staying in the imperial study, why should I stay there?" I gave him a blank look and said: "Nonsense, what can I do as a child in the imperial study, I can't help serve tea and water, and I can't just interrupt to relieve boredom, why should I stay there? You are different, Anyway, you are also hanging out in the Ministry of War, if you don't take advantage of this time to show yourself in front of the emperor's uncle, how can you be entrusted with important tasks?"

"I know you have plenty of words to deal with me." Situ Jing knocked my head, and I covered the place where I was knocked and shouted loudly: "Brother Jing, you bullied me, I want to sue the emperor." Then go out.Situ Jing grabbed me so that I couldn't move, I waved my fists and hit him, and shouted casually: "Kill me, help me." While arguing with him, a woman walked in from outside the house and spoke I asked: "Who is bullying people here?" I turned around and saw Cousin Yu Xin, who I hadn't seen for a long time, broke free from Situ Jing's restraint, ran to her and said aggrievedly: "Cousin Xin, Brother Jing, he Bully me." Yu Xin touched my head and said, "Wait, Cousin Xin will avenge you." Then she pulled me to Situ Jing, and said softly, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. , have you learned to bully people?" Situ Jing's face turned pale, and he stammered, "You, don't listen to his nonsense, I never bullied him, he always bullied me." Yu Xin continued Said: "You think I'm a fool. How can Hai'er be so thin and weak to bully you? Haier, tell me, how did he bully you, how did he bully you, how can Cousin Xin bully him to relieve your hatred." Situ Jing He hurriedly said: "I don't take you like this, you are already married and you are so barbaric, be careful that your cousin divorces you." The corner of Yu Xin's mouth turned up with a sinister smile and said: "I didn't see it, not only learned to bully, but also learned to threaten Go ahead. Go find your cousin now and tell him to divorce me in front of me. Let me see whether he listens to you or to me!" Situ Jing softened completely and begged her for mercy: "Cousin , you just forgive me. I promise I will never bully anyone again, I swear!" Yu Xin smiled and said: "You are still sensible, do you think I can do nothing to you if you find my husband? Too I have underestimated your cousin and my ability. But whether to forgive you is not up to me, you have to ask Haier. If he nods to forgive you, I will not pursue it, otherwise I will make you regret coming to the palace."

"Ah Hai, Brother Jing knew he was wrong, please be generous and spare Brother Jing this time." Situ Jing hurriedly changed his offensive, bowing and bowing to me continuously.I waved my hand at him and said, "Seeing your sincere apology, I won't pursue it anymore, but I have a condition, I don't know if you agree or not?" Situ Jing patted his chest and said, "Tell me, what condition do I have?" I promise you all." I smiled and said, "I want you to be a horse and let me ride." Situ Jing said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "This is not very good, this is the palace, can this request be resolved privately at home? "I shouted loudly: "No, I want to be here. Cousin Xin, you see he doesn't keep his promise." Situ Jing also followed me and shouted: "Cousin Xin." Seeing this, Yu Xin hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Forget it." Hai'er, don't make things difficult for your elder brother Jing, you should go home and solve it yourself. I said Seventh Emperor, don't you give the guests a cup of tea?" Situ Jie hurriedly replied: "I'm sorry, I've neglected the Second Sister-in-Law." He ran to the kitchen not far away and shouted, "Shunzi, is the tea ready? Why are you so slow?"
