Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce looking at the top of her head, and then she remembered that she hadn't tidied her hair after being carried into the carriage by Xiao Ce.
There was no wooden comb around, so she simply used local materials to make a simple bun and tied it with a hosta. She immediately felt a lot more energetic.
Xiao Ce watched intently, never expecting that such a small thing as a woman's bun could make Qin Zhao do it so happily.
Maybe it's because Qin Zhao is beautiful that she can look good no matter what she does.
"Not bad." Xiao Ce had to admit at this moment that the beauty of Qin Zhao matched his eyes.
When Qin Zhao heard Xiao Ce's answer, he no longer worried about what to wear.
Anyway, she is not the protagonist today, she is just a worker. As long as nothing goes wrong at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, her mission will be successfully completed.
Soon the carriage arrived in front of Baohe Hall.
Xiao Ce got off the carriage first, and Qin Zhao also got off the carriage with the help of Baozhu.
All the civil and military officials had also arrived. When they saw Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao getting off the carriage together, everyone had different expressions.
Everyone has heard the news about the harem. Everyone said that Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao were at odds, and the days when Qin Zhao favored the harem were gone forever.
Nowadays, Cui Jieyu is the most favored, Qin Zhao is nothing.
On a big day like the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao actually appeared in everyone's sight in a carriage. This was different from the legend.
Everyone was confused in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.
The altar had been prepared, and when Xiao Ce arrived, he led all the officials to pay homage first.
After the worship service is completed, silk and bamboo music sounds, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet officially begins.
This time, Qin Zhao specially asked Baoyu to make a nearly two-foot-large mooncake.
When eight chamberlains brought the big mooncakes in, everyone stared at them intently.
In the past, the mooncakes prepared by the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival were also big, but they were only about one foot, but this time the mooncakes are much bigger than the previous mooncakes.
This large mooncake is also engraved with complicated and exquisite totems, and there is a cute little moon rabbit next to it, which is quite interesting.
But that's not what surprised everyone the most. The mooncakes this time are actually translucent, and you can even see the fruits and various nuts inside.
In fact, no one likes to eat Mid-Autumn mooncakes, but if the Holy One rewards them, it is an honor for the entire family. Even if the taste is average, everyone thinks it is a favor from the royal family.
When I saw such a unique mooncake this time, the bright colors alone made me happy.
When Xiao Ce saw the big mooncake brought in by the servants, he was surprised and asked: "Is this a mooncake made of Baoyu?"
"Exactly. Today, Baoyu is making this mooncake before dawn, and I also participate in it." Qin Zhaoyu said to Yourong.
She wasn't in charge of the Sixth Palace last year, so she wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the harem.
But now that she is in charge of the Sixth Palace and she is responsible for the Mid-Autumn Festival, she naturally wants to make the party beautiful.
This time, not only the civil and military officials of Da Qi, but also envoys from other countries came to pay tribute. The Mid-Autumn Festival would be a beautiful event and it would also make Da Qi shine.
Xiao Ce took a deep look at her. Qin Zhao's work won his heart this time. With Baoyu's help, he knew the mooncakes tasted good even before he tasted them.
Qin Zhao smiled and said to Xiao Ce: "The emperor will cut the mooncakes himself, right?"
Xiao Ce stepped forward as instructed and, with Qin Zhao's help, cut the mooncakes into pieces.
Qin Zhao immediately took out a piece of moon cake and handed it to the Empress Dowager: "Your Majesty, eat first."
The Queen Mother was already eager to try it. She lowered her head and took a bite and praised it profusely: "Excellent!"
This is the most delicious mooncake she has ever eaten. It is not as sweet as traditional mooncakes. The texture is somewhat similar to the desserts she has eaten before, but it is more flexible and the taste is very unique.
After that, Xiao Ce also brought up a piece and handed it to Queen Mother Guo. Queen Mother Guo took one look at the moon cake and thought it was just a trick. Qin Zhao would also know this little trick.
But seeing the bright color, which she had never seen before, she lowered her head and took a bite. At this moment, she had to admit that the taste was indeed special, different from any mooncake she had ever eaten before.
But no matter how good it tasted, she lost her appetite when she thought that it was written by Qin Zhao...
After that, envoys from various countries also ate the mooncakes and praised them all, which made Xiao Ce very proud.
Although Qin Zhao specially made a large mooncake, a large number of people still didn't get a piece of the mooncake.
Wu Xirou was lucky enough to taste a small piece. After trying it, she was secretly frightened and her mood was extremely complicated.
As far as Qin Zhao's exquisite thoughts are concerned, she is incomparable. This time, Qin Zhao gave envoys from various countries a feast for their stomachs. Doesn't this make Xiao Ce even more fond of Qin Zhao?
Thinking of this, she felt a little heavy.
On the other side, Wu Zhenyu also ate mooncakes. He has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and he is the least picky about food. But this time he could taste such special mooncakes, and he still felt that the trip was worth it.
The little Qin Zhao who used to be so cowardly that he didn't dare to look at others has grown up very well and is now confident and public. This is the most forgiving thing about him.
Many people had not tasted the large mooncakes. Qin Zhao clapped his hands again, and then the palace maids came in one after another and brought another version of the mooncakes.
If the previous mooncakes were bigger than ever before, then this time the mooncakes are small and exquisite.
Xiao Ce also had several small mooncakes in front of him. He picked up one of the mooncakes and took a closer look. He saw four words engraved on it: Guotai Minan.
He picked up another mooncake and looked at it carefully. There were also four words engraved on it: Da Qi Prosperity.
He turned to look at Qin Zhao aside, and saw her sitting upright, smiling and enjoying the song and dance performance in the venue.
For the first time, he felt that women were not just troublesome animals. He respected women like Qin Zhao who were thoughtful.
Women can also be broad-minded, just like his noble concubine.
Qin Zhao was enjoying singing and dancing when he suddenly remembered something serious and whispered to Xiao Ce: "Many young masters from aristocratic families have come today. Do you want to let them compete? By the way, let the two eldest princesses see if there is a suitable husband.
Choice of son-in-law?"
She doesn't care about Princess Yongning's marriage, but Princess Yongchun's marriage should really be put on the agenda. Otherwise, as time goes by and Princess Yongchun gets older, it will be even more difficult to find a husband.
Xiao Ce turned to Qin Zhao and met her expectant eyes: "My beloved concubine really wants the two eldest princesses to get married as soon as possible?"
"After all, they are both young and cannot be postponed indefinitely. Originally, the Queen Mother should have presided over the marriage of the two eldest princesses, but the Queen Mother was in poor health and was powerless. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I thought it was a rare opportunity, so it would be better to let the two
The eldest princess chooses her husband by herself, what does the emperor think?" Qin Zhao replied.
In fact, the Queen Mother Guo never thought about the two eldest princesses at all, because it was not her fault. The Queen Mother Guo never cared about the life and death of the two eldest princesses.
