It’s my birthday and I didn’t expect to get stuck.
Wen Xiaotu remembered that Xin Ruozhi suggested that this year be more grand and lively because - it was her birthday. At that time, she couldn't stop complaining in her heart, birthday? She always thought that the seventieth birthday, the eightieth birthday
, this is called a life span! Twenty years old...well, it is also a life expectancy.
She only briefly scanned the Qianqiu Festival banquet planned by Xin Ruozhi. Thinking that Xin Ruozhi had always prepared it properly, there should be no problem, so she directly stamped it with the phoenix seal.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Yan En's Mansion was included!
"I didn't check for a while, how come they were included?" Wen Xiaotu suddenly felt very bad, like a pot of soup that was boiling perfectly, but suddenly found a fly in it! By the way, the woman who was ordered to live just now was
When he kowtowed in birthday greetings, she didn't even notice!
Concubine Shu Xin Ruozhi was seated close to her, so she also heard the truth. She quickly got up and came forward to apologize: "Jin Lan had a stomachache a few days ago, and it was my concubine who made an oversight!"
Wen Xiaotu waved his hand, "That's it, little Yinzi, please quickly ask someone to invite Mrs. Lu and Thirteenth Niang to the side hall, and keep a close eye on them to prevent them from causing trouble."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now!"
Wen Xiaotu glanced at Xin Ruozhi, and she knew that Xin Ruozhi didn't mean it, so she said: "Let's all be present, it's almost time for the Emperor to go to court."
Today is her birthday, and it also happens to be the day of the dynasty. Of course, the emperor can't just go to court early, so he can only come later. But it doesn't matter, the Qianqiu Birthday Banquet officially starts at noon... Ah, the banquet! This is the best time.
It’s time for the song and dance performance before the banquet!
It was also unlucky that Xiao Yinzi slipped out of the Taiji Hall, and before he could drive Mrs. Lu and Wen Ruzhu to the side hall, the emperor's chariot came in force!
The dragon chariot landed slowly outside the Tai Chi Hall, and Xiao Yinzi had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow.
The palace attendants waiting outside the palace, including Little Lu and Wen Ruzhu, had to kneel down one after another. At this moment, Wen Ruzhu's heart was surging, her face was a little red, and she looked charming for a moment.
The nights have been harmonious recently, and Emperor Mingzhao is naturally in a very good mood, with a slight smile on his usually unkind face.
As soon as I got off the dragon chariot, I heard a particularly charming voice among the people kneeling down to say goodbye.
"Your Majesty, my dear!" Wen Ruzhu pinched her delicate throat and kowtowed, then she quickly raised her head timidly and looked at His Majesty the Emperor.
Logically speaking, the emperor was not free from courtesy, so he could not stand up or raise his head. It was difficult for the emperor not to notice Wen Ruzhu's move.
Ming Zhao couldn't help but frown, who is this person?! Why does he look familiar?!
When Wen Ruzhu saw this, she hurriedly smiled and said: "My daughter Wen Ruzhu is the thirteenth in the family and the youngest sister of the Empress."
Ming Zhao's face suddenly darkened. I remembered that she was the little vicious woman who pushed Wen Ruchu into the water back then! What's going on with A Tu? Why did she invite people from Yan En's Mansion?!
But thinking that today was Atu's 20th birthday and it was a good day for her great joy, she refrained from having an attack. She just flicked her sleeves and strode towards the Tai Chi Hall.
"The Emperor has arrived!!" the eunuch shouted quickly.
In the palace, all the concubines, princes, princesses, clan members, and married women stood up to greet her. The emperor strode forward and helped his queen, Atu, up with his own hands, and then raised his hands to the people below.
Eunuch Liang Kunyu then raised his voice and said: "Without courtesy, I'm still in peace——"
Everyone went around to express their thanks, and when they saw the Emperor and Queen sitting down, everyone returned to their seats one after another.
Then there was music playing and then dancing.
There are only two chairs in the master's seat of the Taiji Hall, which are the seats of the emperor and empress. Even the prince Jingjun can only sit under them.
After Wen Xiaotu sat down, he straightened his clothes and said, "Since the emperor is here, let's have a banquet."
"Yes!" Xiao Yinzi bowed in response and quickly went to pass the meal.
Emperor Mingzhao whispered: "Why did you invite people from Yan En's Mansion?!"
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but look depressed, "It's because I've been working too hard recently and I'm not energetic during the day. I fell into the Phoenix Seal without carefully checking the banquet arrangements."
Emperor Mingzhao looked a little embarrassed for a moment. He coughed and said immediately: "It's all Concubine Shu's fault. Such a big mistake has happened. Isn't this an obvious way to cause trouble for you?"
Wen Xiaotu said hurriedly: "I can't blame Concubine Shu. She has to assist with palace affairs and take care of Jinlan. I basically leave her to do the Qianqiu Banquet, so it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes. It doesn't matter.
Anyway, I didn’t notice anyone from Yan En’s Mansion coming.”
Mingzhao:...Why is Atu a little confused lately? It's not unreasonable to say it's cute.
Ming Zhao smiled, "That's all, today is your birthday, so you should be happy and just pretend they don't exist."
Wen Xiaotu nodded, suddenly feeling that the high bun she wore today was a bit heavy.
Today's Qianqiu Banquet was actually very well arranged. She didn't like opera, so Xin Ruozhi arranged various singing, dancing and vaudeville performances, which were brilliant and dazzling. Although there were many guests today, they were organized in an orderly manner. Most of the foreign wives were placed in the east and west side halls.
, the main hall is neat and lively, but not noisy.
The food and wine were also arranged in a high-end and high-end manner - of course, the expense was absolutely staggering, and it had already exceeded the original expenditure for the Qianqiu Banquet in the Central Palace. But it didn't matter, in terms of expenses, His Majesty the Emperor had already waved his hand.
Double the funding of previous years was given.
That's why Xin Ruozhi dared to be so generous.
I have to say that our Concubine Shu is really a high-end management talent. She takes care of the children and the chores of the harem at the same time, and she can also hold her birthday party in such a high-end and grand manner!
It’s an all-round event!
Wen Xiaotu silently gave Concubine Shu a thumbs up.
Although there was a small flaw in the arrangement of the people attending the banquet, Wen Xiaotu didn't see it with his own eyes, so he pretended that there was no such flaw.
When Xin Ruozhi learned that she had accidentally invited people from Yanen's house, she immediately ordered her confidant Ming Chan to go to the side hall and keep a close eye on her, especially Wen Shisanniang, even if she went to pee
Staring!!!
In this way, the two groups of people were on guard. Even though Wen Ruzhu had the intention to seduce His Majesty the Emperor, someone was following her the whole time and could not get away at all. Even after the Qianqiu Banquet was over, the nuns in the palace actually wanted to marry her and Lu personally.
He will not give up until the lady is sent out of the palace.
Even though Wen Ruzhu had been thinking up many hook-up plans, she could only fail.
The Millennium Festival Banquet has come to a perfect end!
In this regard, little Mrs. Lu secretly gloated that Twelve Niangs were guarding this little bitch in front of Hu Meizi! No matter how coquettish little Hu Meizi was, she couldn't make trouble! Even eight Niangs couldn't be empresses.
