The sun gradually goes away, and the sky changes from dim yellow to the bright yellow of night lights.
The sound of silk and bamboo still continued, but at this time, a high-pitched voice broke the harmonious tone and silenced the surrounding conversations.
"The Emperor has arrived...the Queen has arrived..."
Directly below, a group of people supported Emperor Tianqi's boss Si Nan and Queen Liu Qing, who were dressed in yellow robes.
"It's finally begun!" Gu Li, who was sitting cross-legged on the right, third and second row behind, murmured as he listened to the voice.
The seats are also arranged according to the size of the officials, and there is a row behind each table specially prepared for the family members who come. Because the second row can be blocked, Gu Li chose such an obscure place.
After all, she had been walking all afternoon and wasted a lot of strength on her feet. Now that she had stopped, she didn't want to get up.
A rustling sound sounded, and everyone stood up from their seats, apparently about to kneel down and worship.
"My dear friends, there is no need to be formal. Tonight's palace banquet is just for fun, so the provincial etiquette will be omitted." Si Nan, standing on the main seat, has a mature and awe-inspiring face. If it weren't for the two pokes on the temples,
With his white silver thread, you really couldn't tell that he was over fifty. At this time, he was not as serious as usual. He looked at the ministers below and showed a little smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" There was another wave of voices.
Except when the emperor came in, Gu Li glanced at him, and then he just propped himself up on the table and closed his eyes to rest.
Even if she closed her eyes, she could still hear everything that was happening outside. Feeling this so-called palace banquet, she felt a little disappointed. It turned out that palace banquets in ancient times were just like this, exactly like what they saw on TV.
People who know how to flatter people come out and talk about it, and then agree with this one and that one, and sum it up in two words: boring!
"Sister, there will be a program later!" A voice came from the right side of the seat.
Hearing the voice, Gu Li frowned slightly, "Not interested!"
"Are you hungry? The food made in the imperial kitchen is quite good." Gu Jing brought a small plate of snacks in front of him to Gu Li.
Fortunately, both of them have seen Gu Jing's transformation, so they are not as surprised as the first time when they see him being so considerate.
"I'm not hungry!" Gu Li still refused to give face and never opened his eyes.
"Are you tired?" Gu Jing guessed, and then continued, "Then you take a nap first. If anything happens, I'll call you later!"
"Um"
The conversation between several people couldn't help but attract the eldest lady's sideways glance. She turned her head and happened to see the doting in her son's eyes, so her eyes tightened and her anger rose.
Unexpectedly, the vixen was so powerful that even Jing'er helped her.
But then I thought about it, recalling Gu Xi's words last night, and a hint of calculation appeared in his big eyes.
Humph, I'll just let you feel comfortable for a while. As soon as the emperor opens his mouth, I will make you live in people's contempt for the rest of your life.
