Huiya Hall was built on the west side of Ci'an Palace and was usually used for banquets.
When Qiu and others entered, they saw many official female family members already sitting in the hall.
The virgin official led everyone to their seats.
Today's charity palace banquet invites all the family members of fifth-rank officials and above, and the seats are arranged according to the official positions of the masters.
Since the official positions of the eldest master and the third master were three ranks apart, Mrs. Qiu was placed in a slightly higher position, while Mrs. Han took her daughter Jiang Nianrujing to accompany the last one.
Jiang Nai and Jiang Nianyan were placed on a small table behind Qiu.
Jiang Nianjiao could only reluctantly follow the third lady to the last position.
Logically speaking, her father had not entered the official career, so she should not be included in the invitation, but it was clear that Miss Jiang Liu's reputation as a child prodigy greatly impressed the Queen Mother in the palace, and she was invited twice in a row.
How did Mrs. Qiu and the others know that Jiang Liu was not invited because of the Queen Mother?
No matter how famous Jiang Xiaoliu is in Shangjing Academy, she is already twelve years old now, and her knowledge is not the most outstanding in the academy. She has already passed the age of child prodigy.
The reason why he was invited to the palace one after another was mainly because the Yongfei Empress ordered someone to post a message to Jiang Liuyi.
It was just a post about entering the palace. There was no need for the Queen Mother to argue with the emperor's favorite concubine over such trivial matters, so she just turned a blind eye and let it go.
After Jiang Nai took his seat, he immediately lay down.
Jiang Nianyan wished she could reach out and pull her head up.
At this time, another young eunuch with red lips and white teeth, Dian Bian'er, ran forward, holding a pillow in one hand and a cushion in the other. He whispered to Jiang Nai, "Fourth girl, put the cushion down and sleep like this."
My hands won’t be numb when I stand up.”
Jiang Nianyan was dumbfounded.
Just now I felt that the little eunuch at the gate of the palace seemed to be overly enthusiastic about Jiang Si, but who knew that compared to this one, he was nothing compared to this...
Jiang Nai raised her little head and asked the little eunuch to stuff the cushion under her face. She glanced at him with a pair of wilting eyes, "Who asked you to come?"
"His Royal Highness has given instructions, saying that if Fourth Miss, you feel too sleepy after entering the palace, you must be allowed to have a comfortable sleep."
"But the Queen Mother and the Dowager Princess are about to arrive. We can't take the fourth girl to the wing to sleep for a while. I can only trouble you to lie down here for a while."
Jiang Nianyan:......
Jiang Nai said "Oh" in a daze, and lay there with his head tilted, his big head almost buried in the soft cushion.
Jiang Nianyan was speechless as she watched the little eunuch stuff another pillow on her body, turn around and retreat quickly.
Mrs. Qiu turned around to look at her daughter from time to time and saw her lying there motionless. She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her forehead.
At this moment, I heard a thin voice coming from outside: "The Queen Mother is here."
"The Concubine has arrived."
"Empress Yongfei has arrived..."
"Concubine Jia has arrived."
"Wang Zhaoyi has arrived."
The most distinguished group of women in the palace, Pinpin Tingting, came over.
In addition to the Queen Mother and the Dowager Empress, some of the Emperor's favored concubines were also present at the Charity Palace Banquet.
All the ladies and ladies stood up and saluted.
Jiang Nianyan saw Jiang Nai lying there motionless, so she could only move in front of her to block her, and squatted down to salute with a group of ladies and ladies.
Fortunately, there were three or four rows of ladies and gentlemen sitting in the main hall, and the Queen Mother and the others did not pay attention to Jiang Xiaonai, who was lying motionless.
