Chapter 040: Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet


The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a very important festival.

On this day, the palace will hold a banquet and invite all the ministers to join it.

This year is no exception.

However, this year, more than 10,000 hairpin-length women from various families have been specially invited to the palace.

Everyone knows it well. , this is about selecting concubines for several princes.

Yao Shu was wearing a princess formal dress, her hair was combed up, and she applied some gouache.

As soon as she went out, she was stunned by Mu Bei's appearance.

Yao Shu was naturally beautiful and rarely used these things, but with a little painting, she became even more beautiful and eye-catching.

Wearing black formal clothes with gold trim, he is grand, dignified and very imposing.

"Today is so beautiful."

Mu Beirong came over and held her hand, not wanting to look away.

Yao Shu's face was slightly red, and she was also wearing a black brocade dress, which matched well with Yao Shu.

She was tall and proud, and paired with her slim and graceful appearance, it was simply pleasing to the eye.

Arriving at the gate of the palace in a carriage, many people had already arrived.

Seeing King Rong and Princess Rong arriving, many people came up to say hello, especially those who had daughters at home and were more optimistic about Yao Che.

They inevitably wanted to be in front of Yao Shu.

Show your face.

"This is my little girl."

Su Jin, the Minister of Household Affairs, brought his daughter.

"My daughter Su Yan'er has met King Rong and met the princess."

"No gift."

Yao Shu took a few glances and saw that she was Xiaojiabiyu.

She was not very beautiful, but she was considered to be of average appearance.

Seeing that more and more people were coming to see the ceremony, Mu Beirong took Yao Shu and left: "I will take the princess into the palace first, and we will talk about it later."

The banquet was held in Changle Palace, surrounded by a circle of low tables and cushions, with space in the middle for singing and dancing performances.

Mu Beirong and Yao Shu had noble status, so they were placed in the first row on the right.

Even Yao Yun and Yao Yun were placed in their starting positions.

On the right were the positions of ministers, depending on their official rank.

Tea and snacks were placed on the table, which were exquisite and rich.

People were arriving one after another, and it was very lively.

After Yao Shu came to greet the guests, she discovered that Yao Yun had been chatting happily with Prime Minister Song Yun, and the person next to the Prime Minister was probably Song Yun's daughter.

It turned out that Yao Yun had set her sights on him.

It was a good plan to seize the military power first, and then to recruit the head of the civil servants with many disciples.

In this way, even without the support of the mother clan, the power of the fourth prince cannot be underestimated.

But Yao Shu looked at Mu Beirong's disdainful gaze and asked with a smile: "Do you also think she is too flamboyant?"

Mu Beirong raised his hand and fed her a piece of cake: "The smartest one is Yao'er."

Yao Shu felt ashamed after being praised: "I just don't like to argue.

Although sometimes I have to argue, I'm afraid my father won't like it, with such obvious intentions."

"She is too eager for quick success."

Mu Beirong said calmly: "Even if the emperor has plans to establish a prince, it is still the emperor's intention.

If you are too impatient, I am afraid it will be counterproductive."

The emperor has been suspicious and selfish since ancient times.

Even if he is a son, he will not like them to covet the dragon throne under him too much.

Moreover, Emperor Rongli is still strong, but the princes have grown up.

He will not be on guard, let alone Let there be too much disparity between them At a quarter of the hour, the banquet officially started, and the emperor and empress came out last.

The vast palace echoed with powerful echoes: "Long live my emperor, my empress, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

"Everyone loves you!"

Emperor Rongli raised his hand, everyone returned to their seats and began to serve the food, and the palace suddenly swayed with singing and dancing.

Yao Shu was bored when she suddenly noticed an unfamiliar face on the left side of the emperor.

Emperor Rongli was obviously very close to her.

Queen Yuyang's face didn't look good either.

Could it be that she was the newly appointed concubine?

She looks very coquettish and is definitely a beauty among women.

Her every frown and smile are seductive.

Even though she is the emperor's concubine, there are still many men who unconsciously glance at her.

After the song and dance performances were over, it was the stage for the eldest ladies.

Anyone who could play music, chess, calligraphy and painting would compete to present it.

But Yao Che obviously lacks interest, but Yao Li, who was desperate to let a slave in the door some time ago, now seems not to reject these charming young ladies.

Acting talents and the like are actually just the icing on the cake.

Emperor Rongli may have already counted the specific candidates.

After confirming with several princes in private, he will directly issue a decree to marry several women of high rank.

He is focused on winning over the Holy Grace, for fear of being taken over by this woman who suddenly appears.

But Yao Yun in the palace was focused on choosing the most suitable and useful princess for her younger brother.

At this time, when Concubine Hui was not paying attention, when Yao Yun was not paying attention, they were focused on supporting the baby bump.

Cause trouble If you want to talk about the problem, it's not a big deal.

It's just that he drank too much.

But the bad luck is that Yao Li's wine is too bad.

Before everyone could recover, they saw him staggering into a group of girls, picking up her chin: "Hey, this is the new girl who is not smart enough.

The recent batch of Xianglanyuan's goods are quite good, my prince." like" The whole hall was silent, and suddenly the emperor's wine bottle fell heavily on the table: "Bastard" Concubine Hui's face was as white as snow and her lips were trembling.

She didn't know what to do.

After Yao Yun was stunned for a few seconds, she strode over and slapped her hard: "Yao Li, you are stupid."

Yao Li groaned, covered his face and was stunned for a moment: "Sister, why are you hitting me?"

Yao Yun was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

How could her brother be such an unlucky person?

He was so embarrassed in front of so many officials and ladies at such an important time.

Emperor Rongli stood up slowly: "Fourth son of Xianglan Garden, it seems that you come here often."

Although family scandals should not be made public, his ministers have already made a fool of themselves.

If he does not deal with it, it will be even more unjust.

Yao Li just woke up from a dream at this time, with a heavy sweat on his forehead.

He knelt down and said, "Father, please calm down because you are confused.

I will never dare to do it again in the future."

The veins on Emperor Rongli's forehead popped out, and he wanted to kick this traitor to death immediately: "Come on, pull him out and beat him with fifty big boards, ground him for three months, and revoke his acting position as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

The hard-working plan suddenly collapsed.

Concubine Hui kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please give him a chance."

Emperor Rongli looked down at the woman: "As a mother, Concubine Hui is not strict in her discipline.

She is demoted to a concubine and fined half a year's salary and grounded for three months."

The wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival night turned out like this.

Many ministers who originally had some expectations for the fourth prince shook their heads.

How could such a fool be of great use?

The ladies were even more frightened.

They originally thought he was handsome and good-looking, and they still had some affection for him.

But whoever wanted to marry such a man would have to stay alone in the boudoir.

Then they all looked at the other prince Yao Che, who was called a handsome young man, clean and handsome, proud and independent, without a trace of frivolity.

When the two of them compared, they made a judgment.
