Chapter 534 Palace Banquet

Lin Yuzhu's first time attending such a grand palace banquet was completely different from the welcoming banquet two days ago.

This is also the only opportunity for civil and military officials to enter the palace to attend a banquet in a year.

Li Yuanjing handed a sweet osmanthus cake to Lin Yuzhu and said, "Hurry up and eat one. Although there are many delicacies at the palace banquet in the evening, there are various toasts at that time, and you won't have the chance to eat it even if you want to."

Lin Yuzhu took the osmanthus cake and had to say that the pastries in the palace were really delicious. Needless to mention the taste, it was soft, glutinous, sweet and delicious.

"Is the palace banquet so scary?" she asked in disbelief.

The queen continued on the side, "You will know if you attend tonight. I suggest you listen to the general's wife and eat your stomach now, otherwise you won't be able to eat it at night."

Most of the palace banquets are drinking, or polite words.

Lin Yuzhu listened to the queen's words and picked up the pastries on the table and started eating slowly.

In the evening, the queen's bedroom began to become lively. The princes brought the princes' concubines and princesses to pay their respects. Even some ministers who had been granted imperial edicts and were qualified to enter the palace came.

Lin Yuzhu and Li Yuanjing were left in the house by the queen, and Qianyu and Qianxun were taken by the palace maid to play in another room.

The concubines and princesses in the palace were fine, but they knew that the queen was already spoiling Lin Yuzhu.

But the wives of ministers were uneasy when they saw this scene.

The other princesses went out after asking An and were not qualified to stay in the house.

Now there is no one left in the queen's house except the Xian Concubine, Li Yuanjing and Lin Yuzhu.

The queen kept talking and laughing with Lin Yuzhu, and even if she was not a discerning person, she could understand the treatment.

Concubine Xian sat opposite Lin Yuzhu, looking at Lin Yuzhu from time to time, and the deep hatred that was still captured by Lin Yuzhu.

Hate?

Lin Yuzhu was sure that she read it right.

So, why did Concubine Xian hate her?

He had doubts in his heart but did not show it. When he touched the Xianfei's gaze, he nodded slightly as a polite response.

Concubine Xian snorted coldly in her heart, she wanted to see how long Lin Yuzhu and his wife could be arrogant.

The eldest prince is now disliked by the emperor and has not been summoned even this year for the Chinese New Year. Not to mention the eldest princess, it has completely become a past tense.

After finally waiting for the emperor to get better, she wanted the emperor to give the eldest prince a marriage, but as a result, she was rejected by the emperor and was scolded, saying that the eldest prince had made such a big mistake. The eldest prince couldn't even control her own woman, and now she was thinking about marrying her wife and marrying her.

Because of this, the emperor has not been to her bedroom recently.

The palace is a place full of snobbish eyes.

When the eldest prince was favored in front of the emperor, many concubines in the palace rushed forward to curry favor with her.

But now the eldest prince is not favored, and she makes the emperor angry again. She has had the most unhappiness this year.

The queen sat in the main seat and saw all the expressions of the Virtue.

It soon became dark and everyone went to the Imperial Garden.

Today, the sky is beautiful, and the bright moon hangs high, just in time to enjoy the moon.

Lin Yuzhu and Nangong Yunqi are the most favored this year and are also the ones arranged closest to the emperor and the empress.

This made many people secretly envious.

The palace banquet was indeed as the queen said. It was actually not very interesting, but the excitement was real. There were many ministers and wives who came to toast, and even several princes and princesses came.

Lin Yuzhu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and rubbed her face with a stiff smile, which made Nangong Yunqi feel distressed: "Are you tired of it? If you don't like such social engagements, you can accompany your mother to go back to the bedroom first."

He knew that Lin Yuzhu didn't like such gatherings, and was full of hypocrisy of power.

He doesn't like such occasions either, but he can only deal with it due to his identity.

Lin Yuzhu was tired and whispered: "Even mother hasn't left, I can't leave at this time."

Nangong Yunqi gently held Lin Yuzhu's hand, and then muttered a few words to the little eunuch who was serving him.

After a while, the little eunuch whispered to the palace maid who served the queen.

About a quarter of an hour.

The queen suddenly said, "I am exhausted today, so everyone will have fun tonight."

The crowd quickly saluted the queen.

After the ceremony, the queen turned to Lin Yuzhu and smiled and said, "The Eighth Princess follows me."

Lin Yuzhu smiled sweetly at Nangong Yunqi, then stood up and left with the queen.

After walking out of the Imperial Garden with the queen's arm in her arms, the queen said softly: "Do you really dislike such a party?"

Lin Yuzhu replied truthfully: "At first I thought it was quite fresh, but gradually it became a little boring. I didn't like such occasions very much, and I always felt that it was full of too much unreality."

The queen didn't understand what Lin Yuzhu meant, and said, "You mean it's full of hypocrisy."

Lin Yuzhu just smiled at the queen.

He said slowly: "I haven't seen many big scenes. This is my first time attending a banquet like today. Many people can't hide their dislikes, but they have to pretend to be very enthusiastic."

The queen patted Lin Yuzhu's back of her hand and comforted her: "It's good that you're used to it. Your father and I have Yun Qi's attitude towards you today. It should dispel most of the people's little thoughts towards you, but you should still be careful of Concubine Xian."

She could have pushed the fairy concubine hard in the palace.

But there are many people secretly attracting the wise concubines outside the palace, and they are always worried that Lin Yuzhu and Nangong Yunqi will suffer losses.

Lin Yuzhu nodded repeatedly and took the queen's advice in her heart and said, "Yun Qi and I plan to return to Anyang City on the 19th day of the first lunar month. We don't have to hurry to go back this time. We plan to take the children around and take a look. It is estimated that it will be late February to return to Anyang City."

The queen showed reluctance: "Can't you stay for a while?"

She couldn't bear to leave Qianyu and Qianxun, nor did she want Lin Yuzhu and Nangong Yunqi.

Lin Yuzhu comforted: "When we have time, we will come to the palace to visit our mother. You know, it is not good for Yunqi and I to stay for too long. So many people are staring at us. If we stay for too long, we will not be caught by those people."

The queen sighed and said, "Forget it, you and Yun Qi should not stay in the imperial city for too long now. Other princes and princesses will probably have to return soon. I am already content with how many more days you can stay."

After the palace banquet, Nangong Yunqi came to the queen's bedroom to pick up Lin Yuzhu.

The two children did not attend the palace banquet. First, they were young, and second, the occasion was too noisy.

The queen was reluctant to let her two children go to the palace banquet and kept leaving them in the bedroom.

The two children are asleep at this moment.

The queen looked at the two little ones who were asleep on the bed, her heart was as soft as cotton.

At the strong request of the queen, Chiao and Chiaki were left in the palace.

For many people, this is grace.
