According to the regulations of Daqi, banquets can be divided into large banquets, medium banquets, regular banquets and small banquets. The Mid-Autumn Festival is the middle banquet, while the family banquets added temporarily before the festival are small banquets.
Although it was a small banquet, the emperor held it in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was extremely inconsistent with the ancestral system. The Hall of Supreme Harmony was very gorgeously decorated, and it was the largest and highest-level building in the entire palace. The main purpose here was to hold the emperor's enthronement ceremony.
As he has been in power longer, his temper has become more unpredictable, and many of his whims have gone against the ancestral system, but no one dares to comment. He is the emperor and has the final say.
As the name suggests, the family banquet is a banquet that only royal family members can attend. Xiao Wenjun has not yet married into the royal family, so he is not eligible to participate.
"Queen, do you think I should go?" Xiao Wenjun looked at the Queen with a coquettish smile, as if the younger members of the family were seeking advice from their elders.
"You kid, you can go if you want." The queen understood her look and wanted to make friends with her.
Yu Wenyao had to invite Xiao Wenjun in front of the Queen because he was sure that she would not refuse in front of the Queen.
In fact, Xiao Wenjun also wanted to enter the palace and meet the emperor. Even if he could only see the emperor from a distance, he would feel at ease after seeing the emperor in person and make further plans.
"My princess agrees." Xiao Wenjun's attitude was arrogant.
"Tomorrow, my carriage will be waiting at the gate of the princess's palace." Yu Wenyao's eyes flashed with gloom, and the anger in his chest has eased a lot. After tomorrow, let's see how arrogant you are. Even if you beg for mercy, I will
The king will not let you go!
After the business was finished, they no longer had the intention to chat and dispersed.
…
At Shen Shi time on the second day, the carriage arranged by Yu Wenyao stopped at the main entrance of the Princess's Mansion on time.
When Xiao Wenjun came out of the gate, he saw the carriage with colorful glazed beads hung on the four corners. He raised his eyebrows and got on the carriage as if nothing had happened, followed by Chun Xia.
The decoration inside the carriage is even more gorgeous. There is a small incense burner on the rosewood table, and the brocade-woven cushions are embroidered with large groups of peonies.
I bought a set of white jade tea cups.
When Chun Xia came in, he was secretly stunned when he saw the interior. The food and clothing in the Xiao family's old residence were not bad, but they still pale in comparison to this. The things used by the prince were indeed very good. It was an inconspicuous carriage.
, so luxurious inside.
Seeing that his princess was concentrating with her eyes closed, Chunxia also put away her thoughts and began to carefully check the furnishings of the carriage, especially the incense burner. The smell was nothing unusual, so she picked it up and put it down and checked it over and over several times.
Today I had to come with him. He knew that he could not enter the palace, and he had advised the princess not to ride in the third prince's carriage. However, the princess said that if the prince set up a trap and didn't jump in obediently, how could he let his guard down.
The Princess's Mansion was not far from the imperial palace, and soon the carriage arrived at the palace gate. Aunt Qinghan, who was beside Wang Guifei, was already waiting for her.
Xiao Wenjun got off the carriage with a smile, and hugged Qinghan affectionately, "How dare you trouble my aunt to come over? It's my fault."
"It's okay, the princess has killed my servant. Please get in the sedan quickly, the imperial concubine is looking forward to you."
Qing Han also smiled, but she had another thought in her heart. She had seen Xiao Wenjun's methods yesterday, and he didn't even give the prince face, so she was so polite today?
Watching Xiao Wenjun get on the sedan chair, Qing Han made a gesture and the group walked towards the palace.
The windows of ordinary sedans outside the palace are covered with curtains, but the soft sedans inside the palace are specially made, and the windows are made of light-transmitting glass sheets, which can not only increase the light, but also make it more beautiful.
Xiao Wenjun looked out of the window through the glass, and the familiar scenery in the palace passed before her eyes one by one. The heart-wrenching memories came to her heart again. Even though she was determined, she was almost out of control at this moment.
Biting the tip of her tongue, she forced herself to calm down. There was still a tough battle to be fought today. This was the first time he had faced Yu Wenyao since his rebirth. She knew him too well. As long as he took the initiative, he would definitely kill him with one strike.
, leaving no opportunity for the opponent to make a comeback.
From the moment he stepped into the palace gate, Xiao Wenjun's nerves were tense. He stayed up almost all night last night, thinking about how Yu Wenyao would deal with him. Those methods in his previous life were obviously no longer suitable. What methods would he use to wait for him?
?
Just as her thoughts were wandering, Qinghan's voice came to her ears, "Princess, it's time to get off the sedan. You can only walk the rest of the way."
The rules of the palace are strict. Anyone who enters the palace can only dismount his horse and sedan chair at the "Dismounting Monument" and walk to the front court. Today, Xiao Wenjun, thanks to Wang Guifei's blessing, is allowed to ride in a sedan chair to the Arrow Pavilion. From then on, the road to the inner court is all the same.
Must walk.
Qing Han led Xiao Wenjun to the harem. The palace people he met along the way were all walking quickly, with their bodies slightly bowed, their hands and feet light, and in an orderly manner. The swings of their clothes were so small that they could be ignored.
When he saw them, he bowed silently and stepped aside. After they passed by, he stood up and continued to do what he was doing. This shows that the rules in the palace were very strict.
Qing Han was observing Xiao Wenjun calmly along the way, seeing that she was not squinting, and her movements were following the rules, and she couldn't make any mistakes. He couldn't help but nodded secretly, the person that the imperial concubine had chosen was indeed good.
At this moment, Wang Guifei had sent someone to wait at the gate of Xianfu Palace. She was worried that Xiao Wenjun would make a mistake when entering the palace for the first time, so she ordered someone to prepare several sets of clothes, dresses and jewelry, just waiting for the person to come, and she would start from beginning to end immediately.
Put it on.
"Here it comes! The princess has arrived." When the waiting maid saw Qinghan, she turned around and ran to the palace to report the news.
Seeing this, Qing Han couldn't help but his face darkened, and taking into account that Xiao Wenjun was here, he didn't have an attack.
Concubine Wang looked Xiao Wenjun up and down carefully, not even missing a single hair. After circling her a few times, she smiled and said, "I'm worrying too much, your outfit is more suitable than mine.
"
"Your Majesty is interested. I think that pink palace dress is very pretty. If your Majesty is willing to part with her, just give it to me." Xiao Wenjun pursed his lips and said with a smile.
Xiao Wenjun specially dressed up today, neither standing out nor hiding his clumsiness. He was elegant and graceful. He fell in love with her at first sight.
"Take whatever you like. You are here in a hurry today. Although these are new clothes, they are a bit old in style. Next time I get good materials, I will make some clothes for you. The girl's family has been wearing shabby clothes all day long.
What does it look like?"
Qingshuang sighed inwardly. When his master met a junior he liked, he started nagging him endlessly.
"Your Majesty, Princess, the dinner is about to start. I guess the other masters in the palace have already set off." Qingshuang reminded.
"Ouch! Look at my memory." After tidying up her appearance, Wang Guifei took Xiao Wenjun's arm and walked out the door.
When he was approaching the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xiao Wenjun saw an acquaintance, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a hint of ridicule.
I saw Concubine Guo from a distance, because she was of low status and only had two female officials behind her. Seeing this, she had obviously been waiting outside the door. In contrast to the concubines who were surrounded by palace people, she looked shabby and shabby.
