Hearing Xiange, he knew the elegant meaning. Yin heard the hidden meaning of the queen's words and only smiled slightly, but did not answer the question.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Uranara could not continue the topic any further, so she branched off and said: "Today's brown banquet, I have prepared a rice dumpling bow. While all the sisters in the harem are here, the emperor will decide
Show me your skills!".
As Yin walked, he said: "This is a little girl's game, how can I get involved?" When he said this, he suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and waved to the palace door, and shouted with a smile: "
Come in!".
All the concubines looked out of the palace together. But they saw a lively little figure flashing past, and another crisp laughter asked: "Huang Ama, have you seen me?".
Seven or eight palace maids and eunuchs all hunched over and followed the little person with grimaces, lest she fall. Several of them opened their arms and begged: "Princess, slow down! Watch your steps carefully!".
The queen coughed and scolded: "He Hui! How old are you? Are you still playing this hiding game? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. All the ladies are here. Don't be naughty and come in quickly."
It turns out that this is Princess Heshuo Hehui!
Ji Ling had heard the name of this princess before, but had never seen her in person. She had only heard people say that this beautiful little girl was the youngest daughter of the Thirteenth Master, Prince Yi.
Because the brotherhood between Prince Yi and the Emperor is extraordinary and their interactions are very secretive, this little girl has been stumbling around in Prince Yong's Mansion since she was a child. She is more familiar with the entire Prince Yong's Mansion than her own house.
Yin, who was still Prince Yong at the time, directly recognized the girl as his adopted daughter. After ascending the throne, she was also named Princess Heshuo and Hui.
Don't underestimate the title of "Princess Heshuo". In the first year of Chongde, when Huang Taiji was still on the throne, the emperor's daughter began to be called "princess" following the system of the Ming Dynasty.
But even if they are both princesses, there are differences.
The daughter born to the queen is called "Princess Gu Lun", and the daughter born to other empresses is called "Princess Heshuo".
But even if it is lower than "Princess Gu Lun", she is still a princess, a title that only the daughter of the emperor can enjoy.
As for the prince's daughter, her name is Heshuo Gege.
Therefore, this little girl's biological father is Prince Yi, and her original identity should be "Heshuo Gege". Because she became the emperor's adopted daughter, she became "Princess Heshuo".
After hearing the Queen's words, Princess Hehui pouted and clasped her hands behind her back before slowly walking in.
Ji Ling saw that this little girl was only eleven or twelve years old. In modern times, she would still be a little kid! She had to carry her schoolbag and go to primary school every day.
Princess Hehui wore a pale pink flag dress. The little flag hair on her head was combed smoothly, and she was also paired with a pale pink peony bead flower of the same color.
On the left side of the flag, there is a five-color tiger hairpin for the Dragon Boat Festival. On the button of the flag, there is a calamus leaf carved from jade. The whole body is full of jewels, but the little face is full of childishness.
She walked up to Queen Yinhe and followed the rules of Princess Heshuo. She kowtowed to the emperor and the queen. When she turned around, she also gave the Wanfu ceremony to several other concubines who had children.
The concubines quickly returned the favor and said with a smile: "Princess!".
Princess Hehui always had one hand behind her back, and she performed these rituals in a nondescript manner. When the queen saw this, she pursed her lips and smiled, waving and said: "Hehui, what treasure are you holding in your hand? It's been so long."
Don’t want to let go?”.
With a look of reluctance, He Hui slowly stretched out her hand from behind. It turned out that what she was holding was a fluffy little tiger with the pattern of the Dragon Boat Festival and the Five Poisons. All the concubines couldn't help laughing.
Yin looked at Princess Hehui lovingly with a fatherly expression on his face. At this time, he walked over, put his arms around the back of her head, and led her to the back hall with a smile.
After everyone sat down at their seats, Ji Ling noticed that Yin was wearing a mugwort tip on his court crown today, and was wearing a blue cotton gauze gown and a two-color gold dragon gown embroidered with red and green cotton gauze. Although he had a large dragon boat-shaped purse tied to his body, he himself
The small purse given to him is still hanging on his waist.
The maids brought tea and fruits, all of which were mulberry, cherry, poria and other fresh fruits at the right time. Hua Rong walked quickly to the queen and whispered something.
After hearing this, the queen turned to say a few words to Yin. Seeing Yin nodded, she nodded to Hua Rong.
Hua Rong understood and went to make arrangements. After a while, the eunuchs in the imperial dining room of Yangxin Palace were waiting outside the palace gate with various dining tables.
A pair of dining tables were brought in.
The maids served various dishes to the concubines. Ji Ling saw that today's dishes were homely, including cowpeas in ginger sauce, sesame chicken with green and red peppers, white meat rolls with garlic paste, roasted dried venison, and stir-fried chicken eyes.
Shrimp balls, steamed scallops with garlic paste, and my favorite three fresh dragon and phoenix balls.
...just no rice dumplings.
Isn’t today a “Zong Dumpling Banquet”?
The queen smiled and raised her realgar wine glass and said to Yin: "Your Majesty, on this Dragon Boat Festival, I would like to serve you the first glass of wine in honor of your Majesty!".
Yin raised the calamus wine glass in front of him, signaled to the queen, and drank it in one gulp.
The queen was not in a hurry to drink it, but raised her glass to the crowd. Seeing the concubines quickly picking up the cups in front of them, the queen covered her face with her sleeves and drank the cup of calamus wine.
Everyone said some more festive words, and the serving maids beside them began to use their chopsticks. After serving the dishes one after another, after three rounds of wine, Hua Rong stood at the door with a serious look, raised his palm, and patted it three times.
When everyone looked up, they saw eight young eunuchs struggling to carry a huge dining table and move it in step by step.
The dining table was so big that it was exaggerated. If it hadn't been for the equally huge colorful plate with Zhang Tianshi's Five Poison Patterns on it, with a lot of steaming rice dumplings piled inside, Ji Ling would have thought that the eunuchs in the imperial dining room had stolen the emperor's dragon.
The bed is here!
The dining table was put down in the middle of the hall. Due to its heavy weight and uneven legs, it would inevitably vibrate when it was put down. However, Ji Ling saw that the rice dumplings on the plate on the table were not moving at all.
She squinted her eyes and stared carefully for a while, then saw the doorway inside. It turned out that all the rice dumplings on the plate were connected to each other with green silk threads, vertically and horizontally, and finally formed a three-dimensional mesh.
This way it won't become loose.
At this time, the palace maids came in again and brought rice dumplings to the concubines' dining table. They were all put on silver plates, eighteen on each plate, and two were placed on each dining table.
At this time, Hua Rong was holding a small bow with golden horns. He lowered his head and quickly walked to the empress in small steps. He knelt down and presented the small bow.
This is the rice dumpling bow used to shoot rice dumplings.
Concubine Qi, who had been immersed in eating, put down her chopsticks at this time and said with a smile: "I personally taught Gong'e Qunjiao millet. The golden plate shot made Xu Xian taste it. I asked the emperor to please him and asked him to give it to everyone.
