Chapter 574 Palace Banquet

Time flies very quickly, and the Chinese New Year will be held in less than two days. The two sisters helped Zilan a lot and went back before the Chinese New Year.

These days, I have learned a lot of things to help her work and have a preliminary understanding of the treasurer. Min'er learns the fastest, and Zilan believes that she will have a future in the future.

Yan'er is also good at studying, and it's enough to be a clan wife after two or three years of training.

The two agreed to come over the New Year and help her, but Yan'er may not be too interested in the treasurer, just to help, and did not show it.

Zilan pretended not to know that she had to learn it. It would be beneficial for her to leave the house in the future. Even if the clan girl is so charming and fond of all her favors, she should not be too willful.

During the Chinese New Year, Zilan was going to prepare to go to the palace to have a meal. The old lady, mother-in-law and aunt were all rank-level women, and they were the most tiring during festivals.

"Grandma, are you ready?"

"Okay, don't freeze when you wear thicker clothes. Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it, half full."

Zilan smiled and patted her belly.

"Well, that's good. The things in the palace are cold. Don't eat them. Just make a look and don't drink wine. I'd rather bear it."

"Don't worry, I know."

Li stayed at home to take care of him, and the group took two carriages to the palace.

The palace banquet dishes are very rich and look extremely beautiful. Unfortunately, it turns out to be cool when I put them in the hall. There is a layer of white flowers on it and I can’t eat them at all.

Everyone picked up the vegetables on it and took a few bites, such as shredded radish, shredded cabbage, etc.

Men can drink alcohol, but the wine is hot, it’s not bad if it’s not so cool. Women are more pitiful, and they don’t have to eat or drink well. They are drunk.

Chat talks about casual conversation, from clothes and jewelry to beauty and skin care, after saying something else, I can’t find out any important things.

Zi Lan was pregnant and had a bulge in her stomach, sitting there without eating or drinking, and chatting with people who came up to talk to each other.

There are times when there is no time for palace banquets, and it is hard for you to run out alone if you don’t have enough time.

She is more cautious and would rather sit there and get cold than run around. The palace is not her backyard. If you encounter something bad, it would be so unfair to take the blame for someone. Just sit there honestly.

I was a little bored while sitting and couldn't help but doze off. She was not cold at all. She was wearing a characteristic underwear and trousers. The boots were also characteristic, very warm. She took a nap when she sat here.

The general of the Ministry of War sat with Cui Hao and pushed him, "Why is your wife asleep? It's so cold, don't get cold."

Cui Hao looked up and saw Zi Lan sitting very properly, her head lowered slightly, and she was sitting there taking a nap.

I couldn't help feeling a little sad, but I could do nothing.

"What should I do? I can't call her, she should be fine if she wears thick clothes."

Cui Hao couldn't help but worry.

"You wait."

The general looked around and saw his wife, and he winked and used a wine glass to cover him, and pointed at Zi Lan with his fingers.

Fortunately, his wife went to the palace to attend palace banquets all year round. She was very experienced and smart. She tilted her head and thought about it and looked at the direction of the man's fingers.

When he found Zi Lan asleep, he quickly muttered to the people around him twice, and the human-to-human transmission woke Zi Lan up.

"What's wrong? Are you leaving?"

Zi Lan blinked her eyes and looked sleepy. She had already fallen asleep at this time in the past.

"Not yet. There is still a while. The county lord cannot sleep. Be careful of catching a cold, so it is not good to see it."

"Oh, thank you, I'm so sleepy, I can't help it."

"It's okay, I'm sleepy, I can't sleep, it's too cold."

"good."

Zi Lan rubbed her eyes and took a breath, raised her head and saw Cui Hao looking at him, grinning at him, saying that I was fine.

After finally waiting for the banquet, the family helped each other and walked out.

"Grandfather, are you cold?"

"Not cold, not that cold, dressed thickly."

Mr. Cui shook his head, but his head was always exposed, his ears were a little icy, and his body was really not cold.

After getting on the carriage, Zilan opened the fire from the small stove, heated up the mutton soup prepared in advance, and took out the sesame cakes in the oven.

This small stove was specially made for people to customize. There is a rectangular iron-shaped box behind the stove, and there is a door to open.

It can ventilate the stove and bake pancakes and hot tea, and a ready-made earthy oven.

This shape is a small stove commonly used by people in Northwest China. After she found it, she thought it was very good and asked people to customize it. It was too early for men to go to court in the morning and evening, and it was not dawn. If you have this, you can drink a sip of hot soup and hot cakes, which is better than an empty stomach.

"Grandfather, please take a sip of hot soup, don't drink the cool breeze. The cakes are also hot."

Zilan put the cake in his hand and blew the wood ash to the two elders.

The old man soaked the pancakes in mutton soup and ate them hotly, and then he felt that his stomach was warm.

"Huh, it's comfortable, you can take a sip, my child, don't be alone in our care, you're frozen."

"I'm not cold, I'm just hungry and sleepy, so I've had a sleep."

Zilan also poured a bowl of mutton soup and soaked the cake and ate it slowly. He held the hot soup bowl, which was really comfortable.

Cui Hao also came out, and it was too late to say a few words.

"Grandfather, grandmother, are you okay? Lan'er, why are you asleep at the banquet? What should I do if I get sick in such a cold day?"

He looked anxious, but he was not able to show off at the banquet. His anxious tone was a little rushing.

Zi Lan held Wan Ping's mouth and whispered in aggrieved voice, "I'm bored... I'm sleepy."

The old lady put down the bowl and glared at her grandson, "Okay, don't blame her. People with both bodies are hard-working and can't sleep at night. I'm sleepy."

"I'm afraid she catches a cold."

"I made mutton soup and you can also have a bowl of it and drink a lot of wine."

Zi Lan quickly served him a bowl of hot soup, soaked the cakes in and handed them to him.

Cui Hao brought it over and took three mouthfuls in the carriage and took two bites. The hot soup turned into a warm stream and sent it into the stomach, breathing a comfortable and gentle breath.

"Are you still eating? Slowly don't get hot."

"I'll have another bowl, I won't eat after I finish eating, so I feel uncomfortable in my stomach."

Cui Hao pursed his lips and breathed, and the person relaxed.

"Many people talk to you, what did they say?"

Zilan was curious, and many people toasted him.

"It's not your business. It's just like a cat smelling the fishy smell. It's all pestering me to cooperate, and I'm so annoyed."

After all, Zilan is a woman and is not a social person. Everyone can only start with Cui Hao. It is much more convenient for men to speak and drink.

"Hehe! Don't agree, just fool it. If you really don't succeed, you must agree to the Tenth Prince and the Seventh Prince."

"How can I not know about this? Do you still eat it? Eat some more and go back to rest when you are tired."

The carriage arrived home soon, and Li didn't sleep and waited for them to come back, so he arranged meals for him.

Only Zhang's Jiang, Cui Yu and others had some food. The two elders and Zilan were full in the carriage and stopped eating.

"Brother Hao, please send your wife back to rest. I've been in the middle of the night with a big belly. Go back and take a shower and go to bed quickly. Don't come to pay my respects tomorrow if you don't have to enter the palace. I'll have to sleep in too."

The old lady was yawning, looking very tired.

"Okay, grandma, then you can rest early."

Cui Hao then helped Zilan back to the house.

As soon as he came back, the maid quickly brought hot water to wash her face and burned her feet to warm her body.
