Chapter 720: Palace Banquet (4)

   But he was delayed because he was patronizing the reception, why was Zijin delayed?

Qi Haoran looked at Fan Zijin, who was diagonally opposite. Seeing that his face was also full of surprises and surprises, he knew that he didn't know the uncles were coming, so he blinked and gave him a wink.

Fan Zijin frowned slightly.

On this side, Mu Yangling has brought the little bear to stand up again, and saluted the two uncles, Zhu Qing hurriedly said: "Please get up, princess, but I don't dare to be your salute."

Qi Haoran laughed and said: "Uncle, she is the princess, but she is also your nephew's daughter-in-law. Why not? I'll kowtow to you when I look back. When we got married, we liked the congratulations you gave, and we haven't had time to give it to you. Kowtow with my aunts."

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is both a state banquet and a family banquet, but the country is bigger than the family.

Therefore, Qi Xiuyuan first raised a glass to welcome the arrival of the Dali envoys, officially washed the dust for them, and then wished the people of the world reunion and happiness, and then accompany the courtiers to drink and have fun. Only then did I mention the two uncles.

Zhu Qing and Zhu Feng were specially invited back by Qi Xiuyuan. First, they were high-ranking generals guarding Fuzhou. They were originally among the crown prince's consecration ceremony. I haven't spent the Mid-Autumn Festival together very much, and the second is for the reward.

Qi Xiuyuan decided to name the two uncles the Hou of Dongning and the Hou of Zhenhai.

Everyone knows that Qi Xiuyuan was able to have a lot of help from the two uncles of the Zhu family today. With such a father on the stall, it would be difficult for Qi Xiuyuan to survive without the help of his uncle. How can we talk about this great achievement?

So no one raised any objection at this time, Qi Xiuyuan was very satisfied with this, so he threw out the suffix of Hou Ye, hereditary!

Everyone became lively and looked at Zhu Qing and Zhu Feng enviously.

Qi Shaosheng and Qi Shaotai, who were sitting at the bottom of the table, couldn't help but turn red. They were still Qi Xiuyuan's brothers. They didn't have real power. The honor of the Hou's mansion was guaranteed to them for this lifetime. Feeling.

But hereditary replacement is different. Unless the Zhu family is killed to rebel, the descendants will be ennobled from generation to generation and enjoy the glory of the lords.

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin did not add a hereditary substitute because everyone knew that the awards for these two people were not over yet. When it was over, a hereditary substitute could not escape, and Rong Xuan had a high possibility of getting this. honor.

The hereditary replacement at the founding of the country is also different from that of later emperors. The former means real power, while the latter means not only the ability of the descendants, but also the mood of the emperor in power.

Everyone was jealous, but all smiles bloomed on their faces, and they all raised their glasses to Zhu Qing Zhu Feng.

Yan Du suddenly realized, no wonder the seat was inserted in front of him, such a reward, the grade was just right.

Tonight, the crown prince and princess of Dali are the protagonists. Duan Siwen has handed in his credentials before. At this time, taking advantage of the presence of all the ministers, he once again expressed the meaning that the two countries will stay safe forever, and that Dali will only be the leader of the country.

Qi Xiuyuan once again expressed his acceptance, and they chatted happily for a while.

During the period, Duan Yuqing had been sitting on the lower side of Duan Siwen with her head down, with a faint smile on her face. Although she did not say a word, she was always the focus of the audience, because one of the purposes of everyone's trip was to see this future Concubine Xian.

The purpose of Dali is to let the emperor see their princess, so let Duan Yuqing attend in full costume, she just needs to sit there beautifully, without words.

Qi Xiuyuan didn't look at Duan Yuqing, Qi Haoran didn't know, anyway, he looked at it a few times, and then he pouted in his heart, feeling that it was not half as good as A Ling, and glanced at those who whispered praise to Duan Yuqing, and felt that their eyes had the same expression. question.

It is not only Qi Haoran who thinks that there is a problem with their eyes, but also Xiaoxiong.

Little Bear moved to his mother's side and whispered, "Mother, they lie, you are the most beautiful, and then the aunt sitting in the ninth seat..."

The ninth seat is the seat of the Cui family. Mu Yangling glanced down, and sure enough, he saw a bright and beautiful little girl there.

Mu Yangling flashed this thought first, and then looked at his son in surprise. Qi Haoran was equally surprised. His heart flashed with ecstasy and worry, and asked in a low voice, "Son, can you hear them?"

Bear nodded as it should, and emphasized again, "Mother is the most beautiful."

Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran looked at each other with worry flashing in their eyes. They didn't ask any more questions, just rubbed the bear's head and said with a smile, "My son thinks that my mother is the prettiest."

The palace banquet ended at the third quarter of Xuzheng (about 20:45), and at the time of Hai (about 9:00 in the evening), the palace was closed, and the gate of the palace was closed.

While everyone was watching the song and dance, the little bear fell asleep, and Mu Yangling hugged him in his arms, and a palace maid came over and whispered: "Niangniang, the empress, please bring the little prince to the apse to rest." After a pause, he said, "His Royal Highness the eldest prince is also going to the apse, and the empress entrusted her to take care of one or two."

Mu Yangling looked at the upper seat, and saw that although Xiaobao was still sitting upright, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and Qi Xiuyuan had a big hand behind him.

Mu Yangling nodded slightly, hugged the bear and got up, nodded slightly and greeted Qi Haoran before heading to the apse.

Someone helped Xiaobao over, Mu Yangling saw him swaying, for fear that he would fall if his feet were unsteady, and the palace maid and the maid beside him only supported him, not hugged him, in order to keep him the majesty of the eldest prince. mean.

Mu Yangling frowned slightly, even if Xiaobao wanted to be the prince, he was only one or four years old now.

Mu Yangling stepped forward and bent over to pick up the person, turned around and left, "Lead the way ahead."

The maid and the chambermaid who supported Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.

Mu Yangling hugged one in one hand and walked until Wanqing Hall stopped. Mu Yangling was slightly surprised and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Wen Cui stood at the door and said with a smile: "Greetings to the concubine, you are finally here."

Wen Cui stepped forward and hugged the eldest prince in her arms, led Mu Yangling to go inside, and said with a smile: "This is all the emperor's order, saying that the palace banquet ended too late, and the little prince was too hard to toss back and forth, so let him The Empress will clean up the Wanqing Palace for you and the lord to stay temporarily."

He continued, "Not only you, but also Mrs. An Guogong's wife has been arranged to live in Shuyuanzhai next door, and will live in the palace tonight, and the two national uncles have also been arranged to live in the West Palace, which means that the palace is now empty. , There are only three masters, so I dare to leave so many people at once, but I will not dare in the future."

Mu Yangling asked, "Why don't you go to Zhaohua Palace?"

Zhaohua Palace is a palace arranged by Qi Xiuyuan for Qi Haoran in the palace, so that he can stay in the palace when he can't leave the palace. To Zhaohua Palace, it can be said that Zhaohua Palace is equivalent to their second home.

Wen Cui said vaguely: "The emperor is afraid that he has something to say to the prince and the prince at night. Zhaohua Palace will go to the palace gate at night, and it will be difficult to come and go."

Mu Yangling nodded and stopped asking.
