Half a month passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day before the Qianqiu banquet. The eldest lady sent Yu Xining the clothes to wear when entering the palace, a set of sky blue and a set of dark green. , Yu Xining caressed these two sets of clothes, and the lady spent some time thinking. No matter how Yu Xining wears these two sets of clothes, they will not steal Yu Chuqing's limelight. It is really a good plan.

"This is the new Su brocade that arrived this year," said the little maid carrying the tray. Yu Xining looked at it, and found that the material was indeed good. The fabric was smooth, and it felt good to the touch, and there was a faint fragrance after smelling it carefully.

But why does this material have a scent?A thought flashed in Yu Xining's mind, "I don't know why, this Suzhou embroidery has a fragrance?"

"I don't know, servant or maid. Maybe it was the incense that was tainted when I was in the embroidery room." After the little girl replied, she put down her clothes, saluted, turned her head and went out.

Afraid of fraud, Yu Xining carefully identified the scent, and finally confirmed whether it was a problem, and she put on her clothes to go to the banquet with peace of mind the next day.

The Qianqiu Banquet is the emperor's birthday banquet. The current emperor has long passed the age of knowing his destiny. This time it is a 55-year-old birthday banquet, so it is natural to organize it in a big way.

In order to demonstrate the benevolence of the people, the emperor wants to celebrate with the whole world. For the people of the world, it is tax relief. For the ministers of the court, it is naturally to enjoy the people. Therefore, the emperor ordered that officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital can bring their families to the banquet.

In order to commemorate Huang Haodang, Grand Tutor Yu asked the eldest lady to bring Yu Chuxue and Yu Xining to the palace. Today Yu Chuxue wore a pink and white dress and a pearl hairstyle, which made her look whole Lily and delicate, she looks much more energetic than Yu Xining's azure palace attire.

However, Yu Xining is a good-looking person, wearing a sky-blue palace dress on her body, not only will she not look old-fashioned, but she will wear it with a different charm.

The eldest lady brought Yu Chuxue and Yu Xining into the palace, first went to visit the queen mother, and then visited a palace concubine, and then it was almost time for the banquet, and everyone followed the guidance of the servants to the main hall.

Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats according to your rank. Yu Chuxue and Yu Xining sat side by side behind the eldest lady. Only then did they have a chance to have a good talk.

"I heard from my mother that today's banquet is the emperor's plan to choose a concubine, and I don't know which girl will be so lucky to be in the emperor's eyes." Yu Chuxue talked to Yu Xining with a look of longing, "Could it be that sister Have a favorite prince?" Yu Xining joked.

Yu Chuxue blushed instantly, as if she had been told what was on her mind, "Sister, don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing. But speaking of it, the Seventh Prince is handsome, and I don't know how many official girls there will be." , I poured my heart into it."

Hearing Yu Chuxue praise Gu Jin like this, Yu Xining secretly laughed in her heart. Sure enough, she is good-looking and can be eaten, but if those girls know Gu Jin's temperament in private, I'm afraid they won't fall in love with him anymore. .

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is handsome and suave. Naturally, it is the dream of many daughters. If the big sister admires him, there is nothing wrong with it." Yu Xining didn't want to discuss Gu Jin's issue with Yu Chuxue too much, so he changed the topic .

"The purse on my sister's waist is embroidered well. It's new. My sister hasn't seen it before." Yu Chuxue nodded, "Yes, my mother gave it to me yesterday, and she said it would match this outfit better. , and there are some spices in it, which can calm the mind." Saying this, Yu Chuxue took off the sachet, put it on the tip of Yu Xining's nose, and let her sniff it.Yu Xining nodded, "The scent is good, but I think it's a bit too sweet."

Before the two sisters could say a few words, the emperor came with a group of concubines, and they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to say hello.

Finally, the emperor gave an order, and the Qianqiu Banquet began. Almost at the moment when the words fell, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers "cracked" outside the hall, and at the same time, rows of court ladies in uniform palace costumes They came from outside the hall with all kinds of food, such as crispy cheese steamed with sugar, chestnut flour cake steamed with sweet-scented osmanthus, ruyi cake, acacia soup, auspicious fruit, pearl and emerald glutinous rice balls, lotus leaf soup, plum blossom cake, scallion drink, Rose crisps, qiqiao dim sum, emerald celery shrimp dumplings in bloom, recruited abalone bowls, and crystal winter melon dumplings.

First, the princes would celebrate the emperor's birthday, and then the ministers in the court would celebrate the emperor's birthday according to their ranks.It took nearly an hour and a half to celebrate the birthday, and Yu Xining was bored sitting underneath, so he drank a few more glasses of wine and felt dizzy for a while.

Yu Xining quietly got up and walked out of the hall. She wanted to blow some air and sober up from the alcohol, but as soon as she went out and encountered the wind, red rashes appeared on Yu Xining's face, and she felt extremely itchy.

Lu Wu, who was following Yu Xining, suddenly panicked, "Miss, what should we do? The palace banquet has just started for a while, and there is absolutely no reason to go back to the house now." Yu Xining was also shocked, how could he behave so well? , I got a rash by myself?I'm afraid that some people don't want to make myself feel better.

Yu Xining was thinking about who was going to harm her, and suddenly remembered that she was with Yu Chuxue just now, and the scent of the sachet on her waist was very sweet, which made people feel uncomfortable, probably because of this reason up.

Yu Xining hurriedly calmed down, walked towards a secluded corner outside the hall, and ordered Luwu to call Hengyang Princess to come over, and Yu Xining took advantage of the opportunity to prick herself with a few needles to relieve the pain.

Princess Hengyang hurried over after getting the news, "My Lord, Xining has a sudden illness, lest I offend my holy face, please ask her to help me find a solution." Yu Xining has already controlled the development of the rash with silver needles , now only his face is flushed, but his head is still dizzy.

Princess Hengyang was startled when she saw Yu Xining like this, and then immediately calmed down, holding Yu Xining's hand, "Follow me, let's go to the emperor's grandmother."

Above the main hall, the sound of silk and bamboo was still there. Yu Chuxue, who was sitting on the seat, saw that Yu Xining hadn't returned for a long time, and felt a little anxious, so she said to the eldest lady, "Mother, the third sister has been away for some time and hasn't come back yet. How about sending Someone go find her."

The eldest lady curled her lips in a better mood, picked up a glass of wine, and took a sip, "Your third younger sister has always been modest, and I'm afraid she will be back soon." With a rash on his face, it's better not to dare to come in.

After hearing what the adults said, Yu Chuxue could only calm down and wait.

Above the main hall, the emperor and concubine turned to the matter of the prince's choice of concubine while they were talking. The hall fell silent for a while, and the emperor who sat at the head cleared his throat and said, "A few days ago During the chrysanthemum banquet, I and the ladies in the palaces gave the fourth prince, fifth prince, and seventh prince a look at the princes and concubines. Today, taking advantage of the good time of the Qianqiu banquet, I decided to have a double happiness and marry the three of them."

After the emperor said these words, he was not surprised at all. After all, he knew everything he needed to know. Basically, the prince and concubine had already decided on a few families.

The first few concubines knelt down to thank the emperor first, and then the fourth prince, fifth prince and seventh prince stood up and kowtowed to the emperor for his kindness.

The emperor winked at the servants next to him, and immediately someone came up with the imperial decree and read it loudly, "Luo Wanfei, daughter of Luo Ting, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, and Zhong Lingyu, Xiuhui, and quality Lanxin, are bestowed on the fourth prince, King An, Princess An, and Guo Xiang, sister of the nine admiral Guo Duo. , gentle and obedient, sensitive and gentle, bestowed on the fifth prince Kang Wang as his concubine, the granddaughter of Tai Fu Yu Guang, Yu..." Before Yu Xining's name could be said, the seventh prince who was kneeling at his highness vomited blood and immediately fainted past.
